Welcome to the Lenny and Maria Sanchez Deep Dive Podcast Show.

First, let's turn our attention to the insights from Brandon Smith's article, "As America Soul Searches, the Rest of the West Is Falling Apart." The piece highlights that American ideals are a rare dynamic of free thought, standing against globalist oppression. It suggests that progressive leaders in the UK, Canada, and Australia are abandoning Western civilization for an "elitist Great Reset," rapidly moving towards technocracy and communism. The author asserts that multiculturalism is a weaponized ideology designed to eliminate Western culture, aiming to destabilize and dilute shared cultural principles to weaken the West. It is believed that migrants are used as enforcers to create an atmosphere of crime and decay, intended to terrorize native Europeans into submission. A "Muslim/Leftist alliance" is identified, driven by a shared hatred of Western civilization, with leftists viewing Muslims as necessary "hired muscle" to dismantle predominantly Christian nations. The article emphasizes that Western civilization's core values are rooted in Christian tradition, and its collapse would follow the removal of these fundamentals. It also claims that globalists are intensely focused on creating a world where Christians cannot exist, seeing Christianity as a specific threat. Canada is depicted as quickly sinking into authoritarianism with draconian censorship and mass gun bans, leaving the US as the only Western nation with widespread civilian gun ownership and legitimate free speech rights. Ultimately, the piece calls for America to clean its own house and rediscover unifying ideals to spark a greater rebellion against globalism.

Next, let's delve into Rhoda Wilson's article, "EU’s technocratic border control will be launched in October; it applies to all non-EU visitors." This source reveals that the EU's Entry/Exit System, or EES, will become operational on October 12, 2025, collecting and storing biometric data from all non-EU visitors to 29 European countries. This system is set to gather data from criminal and justice systems and, in the future, from air carriers. The EU Commission also plans to increase the entry permit fees for the European Travel Information and Authorisation System, ETIAS, from seven to twenty euros by the end of 2026, making it mandatory for non-EU citizens from visa-exempt countries like the UK, Canada, and the US. The agency in charge, eu-LISA, manages various large-scale IT systems, with a mandate broadened to include interoperability between existing and new systems like EES and ETIAS. A former executive director of eu-LISA stated in 2021 that a return to pre-2019 normalcy was impossible, and that the crisis should be embraced as an opportunity for changes in passenger journeys, which has been compared to rhetoric from the World Economic Forum. It was noted that eu-LISA's digital newsletter discussed "lessons learned from Covid-19," including "Covid Passports for Everyone," and "Invisible Borders," alongside the EU's ambition to lead in AI. Furthermore, eu-LISA collaborates with major IT and cybersecurity companies, many of which have contracts with the US government, including intelligence agencies. This collaboration implies intelligence cooperation, suggesting that collected biometric data will likely be shared among US allies. The article concludes that there is a global conspiracy to collect, centralize, and control personal data at a supranational level, involving private corporations and non-governmental organizations as part of a public-private partnership model for global governance.

Moving on to Philip Kraske's "Gaza, in November," we learn about the dire situation in Gaza by November, where most children and elderly have perished from thirst and malnutrition, with teenagers and middle-aged individuals resorting to stealing from aid trucks to survive. The piece notes that many European countries have recognized the State of Palestine, and even typically pro-Israel media are using the term "genocide". Hamas offered to surrender arms in exchange for Israeli and US recognition of Palestine and the deployment of UN peacekeepers, but this offer was refused by Israel and the US, who deem it a reward for terrorism. Israel is facilitating the travel of ailing Palestinian children, teenagers, and the elderly to European countries for medical treatment, but their return is made difficult by interminable paperwork delays. Egypt has established temporary refugee camps near its border for Palestinians, but forbids them from entering cities and arranges for those wishing to leave the camp to be escorted out of Egypt by plane. Israel is also offering food, water, and medical supplies on buses to transport thousands of Palestinians to Libya, in exchange for increased military aid for the Libyan government. The remaining Palestinians are labeled "Hamas sympathizers," with President Trump suggesting they should "move on" like Germans after World War II. Reporting from inside Gaza has ceased due to visa revocations for foreigners, and media attention has shifted to the West Bank, where reporters are also facing bans. A massacre of a Jewish settlement in the West Bank by a 500-strong Palestinian mob in October is cited as justification for intensified military action, with horrific GoPro videos of the event circulated by Palestinians themselves. Prime Minister Netanyahu uses these videos to characterize Palestinians as being full of rage and violence, justifying Israel's defensive measures. The Israeli government is quietly ceasing all aid to Gaza, and the IDF is beginning to drill holes and flood tunnels with water and chemicals. The international community is reacting strongly, with the UN General Assembly considering expelling Israel and the International Criminal Court considering naming the US an accomplice. However, Israel is reported to maintain control of the situation through the support of the American government, compliant Arab nations, and its ability to control information. The article concludes that Israel cannot afford to lose momentum, seeing no possibility for ceasefires or distractions, as any lull would legitimize Palestinians as a people and a country. For Israel, the moment is "now or never" to secure their territory "from the river to the sea".

Let’s move on to Joachim Bartoll's piece, "HHS Cancels $500 Million In Funding For mRNA Vaccines. Is It Part Of The Next Psy-op?" The article informs us that on August 5, 2025, the US Department of Health and Human Services, HHS, canceled $500 million in funding for mRNA vaccine development projects, affecting 22 projects by major pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and Moderna. HHS announced that these funds would be redirected towards "safer, broader vaccine platforms," such as whole-virus vaccines, claiming that mRNA technology is ineffective against upper respiratory infections and poses greater risks than benefits. The author views this as part of a larger "show" and "control agenda," arguing that vaccines are inherently toxic and designed to foster dependency and sickness. This cancellation is framed as setting the stage for a new "staged and fake pandemic," potentially in late 2027, where the Trump and Kennedy administration could be blamed for removing mRNA vaccines. The author suggests this could pave the way for stricter policies, a social credit system linked to vaccination status, and a "new pharmaceutical world order," leading people to demand the return of mRNA vaccines and multiple boosters. A core assertion of the article is that viruses and contagion are non-existent, and therefore, vaccines are unnecessary, being built upon "lies and deceit".

Now, we shift to "How The 1987 Ban Came About in America and What It Means to Your Food Security Today." This article details how raw milk, once a staple food for civilizations, became villainized in modern America. It is described as a "perfect food," rich in essential nutrients, enzymes, and probiotics, historically vital for human health and food security. The negative perception of raw milk emerged from the practice of "swill milk" production, where cows were fed spent grain from whisky distilleries in unsanitary conditions, leading to high infant mortality rates. Instead of addressing these poor farming practices, the proposed solution was the pasteurization of all milk, a policy championed and financially supported by wealthy philanthropist Nathan Straus. In contrast, doctors like Dr. Henry Coit advocated for "clean raw milk" certified by a Medical Milk Commission, a decentralized approach that ensured healthy and safe milk production. However, Straus's "public health" campaign, backed by his significant financial resources, ultimately prevailed due to perceived "efficiency," despite the acknowledgment that certified raw milk was the superior option. Doctors who advocated for clean, certified farms faced vilification, ridicule, and bullying, which led to a policy shift towards mandatory pasteurization in many cities.

Turning to "It’s Here. AI Has Already Put 300 Million Jobs At Risk: What Next?" by g.calder, we learn that the impact of artificial intelligence on jobs is no longer a future projection but a present reality, driving a significant structural transformation of the global economy. By the year 2030, it is estimated that over 300 million jobs globally could be severely impacted or entirely replaced by AI. Studies indicate that roles heavily relying on pattern recognition, repetitive tasks, or templated responses, such as data entry clerks, call center agents, translators, and junior software developers, are at high risk of automation, with up to 90% of call center workflows already automatable. Conversely, roles requiring human presence, dexterity, creative nuance, or emotional intelligence—like electricians, therapists, nurses, and strategic decision-makers—are considered low-risk and likely to remain safe for at least the next decade, although AI is still making inroads in these sectors. While automation has the potential to create new job categories, there is concern that AI may not generate enough new value to sustain mass employment, potentially leading to a decrease in available jobs for humans. The disappearance of work could also contribute to social disintegration, as employment provides crucial elements like structure, relationships, and identity beyond mere wages. AI is also observed to exacerbate existing inequalities, as higher-income earners with access to elite education and reskilling are better positioned to adapt, leaving lower-income workers vulnerable both emotionally and economically. Data shows a 43% drop in overall job listings between Q1 2022 and Q1 2025, indicating that AI implementation is not just replacing individuals but entire teams. The shift to an AI-based workforce is already in progress, destabilizing previously secure career paths and leading to increased automation across various industries. The article emphasizes that without conscious policy efforts—including reforms in education, mental health support, and universal income—society risks facing reduced job availability, increased inequality, and a lack of adequate safety nets.

Now for Laurence M. Vance’s piece, "Juul’s Vindication Good for Individual Liberty." The article discusses how Juul, a leading e-cigarette brand, was previously criticized for allegedly fueling a teen vaping epidemic, leading to attempts by the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, to ban its products. However, the FDA has since authorized Juul products for sale, determining that they expose users to fewer deadly chemicals compared to traditional cigarettes. The author views this vindication of Juul as a positive development for individual liberty. A key argument presented is that it is not the government's role to prevent individuals from self-harming with substances, whether it's vaping, smoking, alcohol, or unhealthy foods. The responsibility for guiding children away from harmful behaviors, according to the author, lies with parents, not the government. The piece advocates for significant policy changes, including the repeal of the Family Smoking and Tobacco Control Act, the abolition of the FDA, making warning labels voluntary, eliminating taxes on tobacco products, and ending all government bans and regulations on tobacco advertising and smoking in private businesses. The author explicitly states a preference for living in a free society over a "nanny state".

Next, let’s explore "Nathaniel Macon: The Forgotten Prophet of States’ Rights." This article introduces Nathaniel Macon as a profoundly influential yet largely unacknowledged figure in early American history, recognized by his contemporaries as "the father of states' rights". Macon's principles, described as "old republican," championed individual liberty, local and state authority over matters closest to citizens, strict governmental economy and accountability, frequent elections, debt avoidance, and a steadfast adherence to a decentralist, originalist interpretation of the Constitution. He consistently upheld the foundational principles of the American Revolution and the Constitution, believing them to be immutable. Macon famously foresaw that an expansion of federal power, such as establishing banks or constructing roads and canals, could inevitably lead to Congress attempting to emancipate slaves, which he predicted could result in civil war. His strong opposition to the Missouri Compromise in 1819-1820 is highlighted as the catalyst for the emergence of a comprehensive "states' rights philosophy". Macon argued that making Missouri an exception to equal state rights betrayed the fundamental American principle of self-governance and would be inherently unjust. He issued a prophetic warning that "the attempt to govern too much has produced every civil war that ever has been, and will, probably, every one that ever may be". His foresight earned him recognition from prominent figures, including Thomas Jefferson, who hailed Macon as "the Depositor of old & sound principles" and "the last of the Romans". Even President John Quincy Adams, despite holding opposing views, greatly respected Macon for his integrity and dedication. The article clarifies that Macon's central philosophy was not primarily the defense of slavery, but rather a consistent opposition to the escalating power and control of the Federal government and the potential destruction of the original Constitutional system. He held the conviction that "all changes in government were from better to worse".

Continuing with Brian Wilson’s article, "The Rise of the Political Atheist," the author describes a personal and societal shift from traditional civic faith to what he terms "political atheism," viewing the American political system as a rigged, performative, and excessively costly spectacle. A political atheist, as defined, rejects the "civic religion" that sanctifies politics and politicians, refusing to grant reverence to institutional authority that demands it. This stance is presented not as nihilism, but as a clarity that seeks genuine accountability, recognizing that politicians engage in performance rather than leadership, and that dissent is systematically suppressed through procedural means. Rituals of "reform" are seen as mere performances designed to preserve the existing power structures, with both major political parties acting to protect the system rather than genuinely fix it. The system is characterized as "self-cleansing," capable of absorbing dissent and neutralizing scandal without enacting meaningful change, which leads the political atheist to disengage with a clear understanding, seeking tangible proof over blind faith. The author draws parallels to historical instances of "vigilantism," such as the American colonists' rebellion or whistleblowers' actions, where moral urgency justified illegal actions when established systems failed to correct themselves. The article argues that the system tolerates illegal acts when they serve its power, but criminalizes them when they pose a threat, suggesting that power fears a loss of legitimacy more than mere illegality. Liberals, in this analysis, use rhetoric to "anesthetize the public" with narratives of progress and resilience, thereby delaying confrontations with harsh realities and rebranding urgent calls for change as extremism. In dysfunctional systems, patience is deemed a trap and a form of complicity, leading the political atheist to stop waiting, accepting that "permission is a myth". Ultimately, it's asserted that when a system fails to deliver justice, the refusal to act becomes an endorsement of that failure.

Let’s turn our attention to "The Secondary Sanctions Squeeze." This source states that US President Donald Trump is largely continuing his predecessors' hostile policy toward Russia, and it anticipates an outright Russian victory in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The US and its European allies are attempting to pressure Russia's oil customers to diminish its income. Following the European Union's decision to cut off Russian oil and gas supplies, India and China began purchasing Russian oil, with India specifically processing it and exporting the resulting diesel fuel to Europe. The US is now trying to impose sanctions and tariffs on China and India for their continued purchases of Russian oil, which is expected to disrupt the current market balance and lead to higher global oil prices. China successfully resisted US pressure by withholding critical minerals, leading Trump to withdraw his threats. Trump has threatened to significantly increase tariffs on Indian imports due to India's substantial purchases and profitable reselling of Russian oil, accusing India of "fuelling the war". India's Ministry of External Affairs responded by highlighting the hypocrisy of US and European demands, given their own continued trade with Russia in various sectors, including nuclear materials, palladium, and fertilizers. India is expected to retaliate, possibly by withholding essential products like pharmaceuticals, for which it holds near monopolies, and by seeking stronger relations with China and even cheaper oil from Russia. Meanwhile, the EU has sanctioned an Indian refinery for purchasing Russian oil, resulting in increased diesel prices in Europe, and is contemplating new sanctions on China, despite China having demonstrated "escalation dominance" in trade disputes. The article concludes that the strategy of fighting Russia through secondary sanctions on its customers is likely to fail.

Next, we examine "Theft of a Nation: How the Deep State Swamp Is Stealing the People’s Power." This article describes the current state of America as a profound "theft" of the nation, the sovereignty of its citizens, and the constitutional republic by a corrupt and self-serving ruling elite. It argues that the government is systematically seizing the fundamental tools of self-governance—such as accountability, transparency, representation, free speech, and bodily autonomy—and replacing them with coercion, propaganda, and force. Specific examples of this "theft" include the White House threatening to withhold FEMA aid, the president criticizing courts, the muzzling of media, the expansion of the police state, and the emergence of "concentration camps". The piece asserts that the foundation for this theft was laid by successive administrations, and that the Trump administration has merely accelerated the dismantling of the republic by removing its mask and weaponizing tyrannical tools. It details numerous instances of this usurpation: police acting as an occupying force, ICE agents operating like mercenaries, the erosion of Fourth Amendment protections, elected officials enriching themselves through insider trading, courts being ignored, and whistleblowers and journalists being prosecuted or silenced. Furthermore, the Epstein files remain sealed, protecting powerful individuals from scrutiny while ordinary Americans face increasing surveillance. Government services and executive orders are presented as political instruments used to reward loyalty, punish dissent, and control the populace. Economic chaos is portrayed as being strategically weaponized to consolidate power, transfer wealth upward, and enforce compliance. The citizenry is intentionally kept distracted and divided through manufactured crises and culture wars, allowing freedoms to be "caged" and the nation to transform into a "carceral state" with widespread digital surveillance. Transparency is vanishing, electoral processes are rigged, dissent is criminalized, and physical autonomy is being undermined through biometric tracking and mandated surveillance devices. Civil liberties are being eradicated by executive decrees, and local communities are being overridden by federal authority. The ultimate form of theft, according to the article, is the people's ability to "be the government," resulting in a government that operates "against the people". The piece concludes by urging the people to unite against tyranny, echoing the sentiment that "Ye are many—they are few".

Now for Andrew Anglin's "Tucker’s Epstein Statements Prove He is Currently the De Facto Successor to Donald Trump’s Movement." This article positions Tucker Carlson as the clear successor to Donald Trump's political movement. The author asserts that Jeffrey Epstein was an agent or asset of the Mossad. Israel is characterized as an "outpost of American Jews," serving as a central hub for "international swindling and cheating" and a sanctuary for criminals, rather than primarily a homeland. The Mossad, despite being a state intelligence agency, is described as functioning as a "sovereign secret service for international Jewry as a whole," not exclusively serving the interests of the state of Israel. Epstein's financial backing is traced to American Jewish billionaires, implying that the operation was more about American Jews than the state of Israel itself. Tucker Carlson's statements regarding Epstein using blackmail to serve Israel's agenda are hailed as "incredibly brave," solidifying his status as an "American hero". The author argues that true "controlled opposition" would not make such bold statements or conduct interviews like the one with Putin, suggesting that despite some perceived flaws, Tucker is not controlled opposition. American elections are described as "not real" or "fake," with their outcomes being orchestrated for the benefit of Jewish interests. Trump is believed to have "lost the base" due to his handling of the Epstein situation, creating a vacuum for a new figurehead to rally around. The author attributes the "madness in the West" primarily to Jews, identifying them as the "planners and primary drivers of all these agendas," including ongoing wars, mass immigration, feminism, atheism, various financial scams, the normalization of homosexuality and pornography, the COVID-19 narrative, and pro-crime policies. The piece unequivocally states, "There is nothing that you are against that isn’t caused by Jews," and "Jews are behind every bad thing happening in the West". Examples cited include rabbis supporting abortion as part of Jewish religion, Jewish control over Hollywood, news media, and the financial system, and Jewish involvement in Middle East wars, censorship via the ADL, and ownership of platforms like OnlyFans and PornHub. Additionally, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, HIAS, and other open borders groups are said to be run by Jews, and ideologies like feminism and libertarianism are claimed to have been "invented by the Jews". The character of the ruling elite in the US is deemed fundamentally Jewish and hostile towards white people and non-Jews. Finally, the mass casualties in Gaza are presented as a manifestation of the "Jewish racial character," stemming from their "hatred of Christ". Ashkenazi Jews are asserted to have bred for "deviant behavior" over 2,000 years, and rabbinical Judaism is characterized as a "cult to preserve the hatred of Christ".

Let's discuss Rhoda Wilson's article, "UK’s Online Safety Act is restricting speech globally; the UK government is censoring the world." The article highlights that the UK's Online Safety Act, or OSA, became fully operational in July 2025 and is being used to restrict content worldwide. This has raised significant concerns about the censorship of public interest information, prompting technology companies to implement broad age verification and content filtering measures. Content that has been restricted includes discussions on the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, parliamentary debates on serious crimes, and even historical art. It is suggested that governments globally, including the UK, are escalating their demands for censorship, with the ultimate goal of censoring the entire planet, including the United States. The OSA imposes age verification limits on a wide array of material, such as pornography, hate speech, content promoting drugs and weapons, online harassment, and depictions of violence. US officials have expressed concern that the law undermines American First Amendment values by exporting foreign speech codes. The UK's Office of Communications, Ofcom, is reportedly sending letters to websites outside the UK, demanding "harmful speech audits" with threats of imprisonment or fines for non-compliance. The OSA requires websites to self-regulate according to its terms and applies to major platforms like Meta, Reddit, and smaller discussion boards, which are expected to actively identify and age-gate hateful and violent content. Ofcom also possesses the authority to compel third-party service providers, such as payment services or app stores, to cease doing business with non-compliant US-based sites that lack a UK presence. The UK government has explicitly stated that the OSA is "not up for debate" in trade negotiations. In response, some social media platforms, like Gab and BitChute, have chosen to go offline or discontinue services to UK users rather than comply with demands for user information. The article also points to an international collaboration aimed at silencing dissent, reportedly spearheaded by the Biden-Harris administration in the US and the UK's Counter Disinformation Unit. Furthermore, the United Nations and World Health Organization are said to be tightening controls on free speech through treaties and "social listening" techniques, while the European Union is forming committees to address "disinformation," and the UK's Ofcom is also increasing its regulatory grip.

Finally, let's turn to Miles Mathis's "Attila was not a Hun." This article argues that Attila was not a Hun, and his historical narrative is a recycled fabrication, akin to the author's previous claim that Genghis Khan was Phoenician. The author states that the name Attila originates from the Roman name Atilius, predating the historical "Attila the Hun" by seven centuries. A key assertion is that the name "Hun," specifically from the Greek variant "Khounoi," is connected to the Hebrew name "Kohen". The author suggests that both Attila and the Byzantine Emperor Justinian the Great were of Phoenician high-class lineage, and that the Goths were also Phoenicians who had settled further north. It is posited that many historical wars, including those attributed to the Huns, were staged or fabricated. The alleged purposes of these fabricated conflicts include generating taxes for "defense," fostering patriotism, and controlling local populations. The narrative of the Hunnic Empire—emerging from obscurity, conquering half the world in just sixty years, extracting immense gold tributes from Rome, and then completely vanishing within seventy years—is presented as illogical and highly improbable. The fact that the "capital" of the Hunnic Empire is referred to as "Attila's Court," implying no fixed city or permanent structures, is used to support the idea that the empire itself was a fabrication, as it would leave no archaeological evidence. The gold that Rome allegedly paid in tribute is believed to have never left Rome or Byzantium, but was instead "looted from the treasuries and moved to private banks owned by the Phoenicians," illustrating a form of ancient war profiteering. The author draws a parallel between these historical "fake tributes" and numerous contemporary "cons" or scams, listing examples such as the Golden Dome, AI data centers, nuclear weapons, vaccines, and many others.

I. As America Soul Searches, the Rest of the West Is Falling Apart - 1. American ideals are presented as a rare dynamic globally, providing sanctuary for free thought against globalist oppression, and must be protected. The reality is that our ideals are an exceedingly rare dynamic found in no other society.

   We provide sanctuary to a fragile ember of free thought in an otherwise gloomy world of globalist oppression.

- 2. Progressive leaders in the UK, Canada, and Australia have abandoned Western civilization in exchange for the "Great Reset," rapidly moving towards technocracy and communism.

    In reality, progressive leaders have abandoned western civilization, forsaking it in exchange for the elitist “Great Reset”.

    The political landscape in the UK, Canada and Australia has turned decidedly sour.

- 3. Western civilization is described as a net positive for humanity over centuries, a fact denied only by those unfamiliar with history or the current situation in the EU.

    Western civilization has been a net positive for humanity over the centuries and the only people that deny this are those that don’t know history and those that refuse to look at what is happening in the EU today with any honesty.

    When you truly study the history of third-world societies you will find that life in these environments is brutal, devoid of compassion and bereft of freedom.

- 4. Multiculturalism is identified as a weaponized ideology designed to eliminate Western culture by destabilizing and diluting shared cultural principles to weaken the West.

    It’s important to understand that Multiculturalism is a weaponized ideology.

    The goal of globalists is to destabilize the connective tissue of the west, to saturate and dilute our shared cultural principles and make us as weak as possible.

- 5. Globalists are accused of hoping to use migrants as enforcers to create an atmosphere of crime and decay, terrorizing native Europeans into submission and apathy.

    They hope to use migrants as enforcers.

    Third world migrants are creating an atmosphere of crime and decay that globalists think will terrorize native Europeans into submission and apathy.

- 6. The EU is importing migrants primarily from Islamic societies who openly brag about coming to Europe to plunder and conquer, bringing a philosophy that non-believers are fair game.

    It’s no coincidence that the EU is importing migrants primarily from Islamic societies: They have no intention of integrating and they openly brag about how they’re coming to Europe to plunder and conquer.

    As these groups enter the west they bring with them a philosophy of exploitation – Their religious rules only apply to believers; non-believers are fair game and can be freely targeted.

- 7. An alliance between leftists and Muslims is possible due to their shared hatred of Western civilization and a desire to destroy it, with leftists seeing Muslims as "hired muscle" and Muslims seeing leftists as useful for opening Christian nations.

    One might wonder how an alliance between the leftists and the Muslims is even possible.

    Leftists, being generally weak and unable to project physical power, see Muslims as much needed hired muscle.

- 8. In Britain, Muslim gangs brandish knives with impunity while British patriots are targeted by the government for censorship and intimidation, as UK leaders see Muslim migrants as an effective tool to eliminate the "patriot threat."

    This relationship is made obvious in Britain where Muslim gangs are able to roam the streets brandishing knives and machetes with impunity while British patriots are consistently targeted by the government for censorship and intimidation.

    It’s no secret that the champagne socialist leaders of the UK want to eliminate the patriot threat and they see Muslim migrants as an effective tool.

- 9. Key elements of Christianity, such as hard work, meritocracy, independence, self-improvement, freedom, charity, and a moral compass, are rooted in the Christian tradition and represent the ideals of the Western world.

    I am thoroughly convinced that key elements of Christianity are ideals that best represent the western world – Our values of hard work, meritocracy, independence, self improvement, freedom, charity, and moral compass are rooted in the Christian tradition.

    Western civilization cannot exist without the fundamentals of Christian doctrine.

- 10. The author observes that globalists are intensely focused on creating a world where Christians cannot exist, while being hands-off with other religions, suggesting Christianity is a specific threat to their agenda.

    One thing that pushes me ever closer to Christianity is the fact that leftists and globalists are so keenly preoccupied with crushing it.

    Instead, the globalists are focused intensely on creating a world in which Christians cannot exist while playing hands-off with every other religion and ideology.

- 11. Canadian politicians are actively trying to cancel Christian events, such as Sean Feucht's concerts, and are moving to remove religious exemptions from hate speech laws, while not trying to shut down Muslim events or silence anti-LGBT rhetoric from Islamic speakers.

    This was just one of six Christian shows that Canadian politicians tried to cancel.

    No official in Canada is trying to shut down Muslim events; they are singling out Christians with censorship.

- 12. Canada is rapidly sinking into authoritarianism with draconian censorship laws, woke indoctrination, and a mass gun ban, which some conservative Canadians believe is an attempt to disarm them to prevent secession.

    Canada has been quickly sinking into authoritarianism with draconian censorship laws and woke indoctrination.

    Conservative Canadians in provinces like Alberta believe that the Carney government is trying to disarm them to prevent secession, a serious possibility under the current conditions.

- 13. The legal changes in Canada are expected to leave the US as the only Western nation with widespread civilian gun ownership and legitimate free speech rights.

    The legal changes in Canada will leave the US as the only nation left in the west with widespread civilian gun ownership, not to mention the only nation left with legitimate free speech rights.

    Incrementally, the majority of the western world has been turned into a pit of dystopian despair.

- 14. While the defeat of "woke doctrine" in the US is a relief, the US's "soul searching" is too slow, and populists are deeply divided despite shared opposition to wokeness.

    The defeat of woke doctrine in the US is certainly a relief.

    However, there is a deep divide among populists, from conservatives to libertarians to moderates.

- 15. A society needs a greater purpose beyond merely loving freedom or having a shared enemy to survive and thrive.

    There needs to be more for a society to survive and thrive.

    There needs to be a greater purpose.

- 16. The US still faces millions of illegal migrants and "unhinged woke militants," with a limited will to take necessary action due to a refusal to accept that "we are alone, and we are at war."

    In the meantime, we still have millions of illegal migrants to deal with as well as a small army of unhinged woke militants that are roaming the streets when they should be locked up in padded rooms.

    The will to take necessary action is limited by a refusal among many people to accept that we are alone, and we are at war.

- 17. Millions of patriots in the EU, UK, Australia, and Canada are waiting for the US to make a move and "spark a greater rebellion against globalism."

    There are millions of patriots in the EU, the UK, Australia and Canada that want to join the fight.

    They’re hoping we spark a greater rebellion against globalism.

- 18. This greater rebellion against globalism requires the US to "clean our own house first and rediscover the unifying ideals that make the west something worth fighting for."

    This requires that we clean our own house first and rediscover the unifying ideals that make the west something worth fighting for.

- 19. The author has observed for 20 years that the globalist agenda's intense focus is on preventing Christians from existing, more so than just whittling down personal freedom.

    I used to think that the globalist agenda was mostly concerned with whittling down personal freedom, but after 20 years of observing their schemes and propaganda it’s clear to me that freedom is a secondary issue.

    Instead, the globalists are focused intensely on creating a world in which Christians cannot exist while playing hands-off with every other religion and ideology.

II. EU’s technocratic border control will be launched in October; it applies to all non-EU visitors - 1. From October 12, all non-EU visitors to EU countries will have their biometric data collected and stored by a centralized agency, including data from criminal and justice systems. From 12 October, all visitors to all European Union countries will have their biometric data collected and stored by a centralised agency.

   This agency will not only collect data on our movements but will also collect data from the criminal and justice systems.

- 2. The new Entry/Exit System (EES) will digitally record entries and exits of non-EU nationals, capturing biometric data like fingerprints and facial images, replacing the current passport stamping system.

    The EES is an advanced technological system that will digitally record the entries and exits of non-EU nationals … It will capture biometric data, such as fingerprints, facial image, and other travel information, gradually replacing the current system of passport stamping.

    From 12 October onwards, Member States will start introducing the EES gradually over a period of six months.

- 3. The EU Commission plans to increase the entry permit fee for the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) from seven to twenty euros, a system mandatory for non-EU citizens from visa-exempt countries including the UK, Canada, and the US.

    The new EU entry system is scheduled to come into force at the end of 2026.

    Instead of the current seven euros, the price for the planned European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) will be 20 euros in the future.

- 4. The EES is part of the EU’s “Smart Borders package,” which aims to improve external border management using state-of-the-art technology, including ETIAS and expanded use of Automated Border Control (ABC) systems.

    The EES is part of the EU’s Smart Borders package, which aims to improve the management of the EU’s external borders by using state-of-the-art technology and innovative solutions.

    The package includes the EES, the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS), and an extended and more harmonised use of the Automated Border Control (ABC) systems utilised by the Member States.

- 5. The European Union Agency for the Operational Management of Large-Scale IT Systems in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (“eu-LISA”) manages significant IT systems for EU policies, and its mandate was broadened to include interoperability between existing and new systems.

    The European Union Agency for the Operational Management of Large-Scale IT Systems in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (“eu-LISA”) “manages large-scale IT systems that support the implementation of the EU’s policies”.

    eu-LISA’s mandate was broadened in 2018 to implement Interoperability between existing and new systems, including the Entry/Exit System (EES), the European Travel Information Authorisation System (ETIAS), the European Criminal Records Information System – Third Country Nationals (ECRIS-TCN), as well as the Joint Investigation Teams Collaboration Platform (JITs CP).

- 6. The collection and control of such a large amount of personal data by one agency, eu-LISA, should raise alarm bells for everyone, including non-EU citizens traveling to the EU.

    That’s a lot of information about any particular person collected and controlled by one agency.

    This should raise alarm bells for everyone, including non-EU citizens who choose to, or as part of their employment, travel to the EU.

- 7. Krum Garkov, a former eu-LISA Executive Director, stated in 2021 that a return to 2019 normalcy is not possible and crises should be embraced as opportunities to make the "passenger journey" more efficient, seamless, and secure.

    Although I am sure we all miss the good old days, I am certain that we cannot go back to what used to be normal back in 2019.

    Instead, we must embrace this crisis as an opportunity to bring changes to the passenger journey, making it even more efficient, seamless, and secure.

- 8. The third issue of eu-LISA’s digital newsletter discussed "Lessons learned from Covid-19" (implying Covid Passports), "Invisible Borders" as a "game-changer," and the EU needing to take the lead in AI.

    Epimetheus noted the three main aspects discussed in the third issue of Bits & Bytes: Lessons learned from Covid-19, i.e., Covid Passports for Everyone!.

    Invisible Borders, described as “a game-changer.” The EU needs to take the lead in the AI domain.

- 9. An eu-LISA "Industry Roundtable" agenda indicated collaboration with major tech companies, many of which have contracts with the US government in IT, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and advisory services, some with CIA and NSA contracts.

    “Industry insights from Capgemini, Gartner, NTT DATA, Inc., Deloitte, Palo Alto Neighbours, SAS, Sopra Steria, Nutanix, Red Hat, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Fortinet”.

    With the exception of Sopra Steria, all listed companies have confirmed contracts with the US government … primarily in IT, cloud computing, cybersecurity, analytics, and/or advisory services.

- 10. The collaboration between eu-LISA and US intelligence-linked partners strongly suggests intelligence cooperation, implying that all collected biometric data will likely end up on US government servers and be shared widely with US allies.

    Why on God’s green Earth would the EU team up with these intelligence community-linked partners.

    This also, very likely, means that all biometric data thus collected will end up on US government-operated/contractor servers, which means it will be widely shared among US allies and partners.

- 11. There is described to be a "global conspiracy to collect, centralise and control our personal data" at a supranational level, progressing from the European Union to the United Nations.

    We need to realise that there is a global conspiracy to collect, centralise and control our personal data.

    Not at the national level but at the supranational level.

- 12. The involvement of private corporations and non-governmental organizations is considered part of the plan for "global governance under a One World Government" following the UN-WEF public-private partnership model.

    The involvement of private corporations and non-governmental organisations is part of the plan.

    It is the UN-WEF public-private partnership model for global governance under a One World Government.

- 13. Technocratic governance, involving qualified experts influencing or controlling policy, has become a talking point in Western society, with broad support from those disillusioned with the political class.

    Over the last couple of years, the question of technocratic governance has become a talking point in Western society.

    Largely due to disillusionment with the political class, many people are broadly supportive of this idea.

- 14. Technocrats have had a plan for a scientific dictatorship since 1932, and with President Trump "co-opted," they are ready for an economic takeover.

    Technocrats have had a plan for scientific dictatorship since 1932.

    Now that they have co-opted President Donald Trump, they are ready for their economic takeover, Patrick Wood writes.

- 15. The EU is implementing an automated border registration computer system to replace manual passport stamping for non-EU travelers, including short-stay visa holders and visa-exempt travelers.

    The European Union (“EU”) is introducing an automated border registration computer system for registering travellers from countries outside the EU, including short-stay visa holders and visa-exempt travellers, each time they cross an EU external border.

    The system aims to replace the current manual passport stamping process.

III. Gaza, in November, by Philip Kraske - 1. By November, most children and elderly in Gaza have perished from thirst and malnutrition, with teenagers and middle-aged individuals surviving on stolen aid. By November, most of the children have died off and are down to less than fifteen percent of the Gaza population.

   The elderly too have perished of thirst and malnutrition.

- 2. Most European countries have recognized the State of Palestine, and media outlets have begun using the term "genocide" to describe the situation, causing nervousness in the American Congress.

    Most of the countries of Europe have now recognized the State of Palestine, and even in the American Congress, members are ever more nervous.

    Even the most stubborn pro-Israel media has turned angry and uses the term “genocide” without hesitation.

- 3. Hamas has offered to disarm in exchange for Israeli and US recognition of the State of Palestine and the deployment of well-armed UN peacekeepers, an offer refused by Israel and the US who deem it rewarding terrorism.

    Hamas has offered to lay down its arms if Israel and the United States first recognize the State of Palestine and well-armed UN peacekeepers by the thousand are allowed to enter Gaza and the West Bank, replacing the Israeli presence.

    Israel and the U.S., of course, refuse.

- 4. Israelis believe that easing pressure, opening hospitals, or allowing any semblance of normality would lead to Palestine becoming a permanent reality, existing as a country whose people fought for freedom.

    But even without taking this step, the Israelis know that if they ease the pressure, allow a few hospitals to open, let in a few hundred trucks a day — if they allow even a semblance of normality — it’s all over for them.

    Because then Palestine is a permanent reality; it exists; it will not disappear; its people have fought the good fight of freedom and are now a country.

- 5. Israel facilitates the travel of ailing Palestinian children and their families to Europe for treatment but creates interminable delays and paperwork for their return to Gaza.

    So Israelis have become famously obliging on one point: they allow hundreds of ailing Palestinian children to travel with their families to European countries for treatment; then they allow teenagers and the old.

    But now these same European nations are carping: the child gets better, the family visa expires, but the Israelis claim that the family must “register” at their embassy to return to Gaza, and the registration involves paperwork, and delays are interminable.

- 6. An American medical ship treats Palestinians but discharges them to refugee camps in the Sinai due to difficulties returning them, with only two families ever allowed back to Gaza.

    An American medical ship is also treating Palestinians, but the trouble returning them obligates them to discharge them to refugee camps in the Sinai.

    The Grayzone reveals that only two of these families has ever been allowed to return.

- 7. Egypt has set up a temporary camp for Palestinians near the border on humanitarian grounds but prevents them from migrating to cities and, courtesy of the Israelis, escorts anyone wanting out to an airplane departing Egypt, often to Libya.

    On purely humanitarian grounds, Egypt has finally allowed Palestinians to go to a camp they’ve set up near the border “on a purely temporary basis, until some agreement is reached between Israel and Hamas”.

    They also offer Palestinians plentiful food, water and medical supplies on good air-conditioned buses that will take Palestinians across northern Egypt to Libya, whose Tripoli government has agreed to take several thousand of them.

- 8. President Trump labels remaining Palestinians as "Hamas sympathizers" who "don’t want to cooperate," suggesting they should migrate like Germans after WWII because their cities are in ruins and "it’s all over."

    The remaining Palestinians are labeled “Hamas sympathizers, the ones that don’t want to cooperate”.

    “What did Germans do after World War II? They migrated.

- 9. Reporting from inside Gaza has ceased due to revoked visas and expulsion of foreign reporters, leading to a decline in news coverage of the "outcry of genocide."

    The flow of reporting from inside Gaza has ceased; all foreigners have seen their visas revoked, and reporters and camera people have been sent to Egypt and Jordan.

    Network news shows the world over are relieved not to have to show emaciated Palestinian children, and the outcry of genocide falls off the newcasts.

- 10. Media attention shifts to the West Bank, which is becoming a "replay of Gaza," where reporters also face bans and expulsion.

    Reporters turn their attention to the West Bank, which is turning into a replay of Gaza.

    Reporters soon find themselves banned there as well, and even a quick report turns into a manhunt for the reporter and camera operators, who are quickly expelled.

- 11. A "second outrage" in the West Bank in early October, involving a 500-strong Palestinian mob massacring 142 people in a Jewish settlement, is used as justification for an Israeli onslaught.

    The justification for the onslaught on the Weat Bank is a second outrage that occurred there in early October to “celebrate” the original massacre two years earlier.

    A whole Jewish settlement in the West Bank was massacred by a 500-strong Palestinian mob that broke out of an encampment and rampaged through the settlement all night.

- 12. "Chaotic scenes" released by the IDF and "copious GoPro videos" from the Palestinian mob depict horrific events, including beheadings and children thrown like rag dolls.

    Chaotic scenes that the IDF releases to the media are horrific: 142 murdered.

    Palestinians from the attacking mob conveniently makes up for the dearth of information and releases copious GoPro videos of the horror, including the beheading of settlers and children thrown around like rag dolls.

- 13. Prime Minister Netanyahu uses these videos to assert that Palestinians are "full of rage and violence," justifying Israeli defense, and news media are compelled to give "equal time" to the new massacre to avoid anti-Semitism charges.

    “It’s clear from these videos that Palestinians are a people full of rage and violence,” says Prime Minister Netanyahu.

    Now news media are obliged to give “equal time” to the new massacre in order to avoid charges of anti-semitism.

- 14. The Israeli government quietly stops all aid to Gaza, and the IDF begins drilling holes and flooding tunnels with water and chemicals, while real estate developers anticipate future plans for the area.

    The Israeli government quietly stops all aid to Gaza, though news of this is hotly contested in different media.

    The IDF begins to drill holes all over Gaza and flood them with water and chemicals.

- 15. The international community, including the UN General Assembly and the ICC, considers actions against Israel and the US, but the Israeli government dismisses these as anti-Semitism.

    The international community, of course, is up in arms.

    The Israeli government shrugs all this off as anti-semitism.

- 16. Israel maintains control of the situation and barrels ahead with its "Final Solution" because it has the American government's support, subdued Arab countries, and controls nearly all information about events.

    It just barely maintains control of the situation, barreling ahead, as conditions for their Final Solution are optimal: it has the American government in its back pocket, the Arab countries are either cowed or complaisant, and Israel can control nearly all the information about events.

    Yes, by November, Israel is in full chute en avance: forward retreat.

- 17. Israel believes it cannot afford to lose momentum, emphasizing "no ceasefires, no distractions with Iran," because a lull would "cheer Palestinians and make them look legitimate as a people and a country."

    Second and most crucially, Israelis cannot afford to lose momentum: no ceasefires, no distractions with Iran.

    With Gaza in its death throes and the West Bank beginning to disintegrate, a lull of even a month would cheer Palestinians and make them look legitimate as a people and a country.

IV. HHS Cancels $500 Million In Funding For mRNA Vaccines. Is It Part Of The Next Psy-op? - 1. _**On August 5, 2025, the US Department of Health and Human Services (H such as influenza, COVID-19, and the extremely silly bird flu. - 2. The author suggests that the cancellation of mRNA vaccine funding is not genuinely "good news" but part of a larger "show" and "control agenda" designed to keep people weak, confused, dumbed-down, and dependent. Of course, right-wing nutters and other programmed sheeple will celebrate this as “good news,” but is it, really.

   All this is just part of the big show and part of the control agenda.

- 3. HHS stated the funding would be redirected to "safer, broader vaccine platforms," claiming mRNA technology fails to protect effectively and poses more risks than benefits.

    In their announcement, HHS stated that the funding will instead be redirected toward “safer, broader vaccine platforms” like whole-virus vaccines and novel platforms, claiming mRNA technology fails to protect effectively against upper respiratory infections and poses more risks than benefits.

    Safer and broader vaccine platforms.

- 4. The author contends that all vaccines are built upon "lies" of non-existing viruses and contagions, and therefore cannot be safe, asserting they were invented to keep people sick, weak, and dependent.

    As vaccines are built upon lies, as in non-existing viruses and contagions, how can any of it be safe.

    It was invented to keep you sick, weak and dependent.

- 5. The 22 investments canceled are interpreted as a "Freemasonic Master Builder Number," setting the stage for a "next staged and fake pandemic."

    And 22 investments, as in the Freemasonic Master Builder Number, as in building towards the next staged and fake pandemic, uh.

    All this is just part of the big show and part of the control agenda.

- 6. The cancellation is seen as setting the stage for a future "staged and fake pandemic," potentially in late 2027, where the Trump and Kennedy administration will be blamed for removing mRNA vaccines.

    With that said, it also sets the stage for another act, that of running the next staged and fake pandemic, blaming the right-wing Trump and Kennedy administration for removing the mRNA vaccines that kept “immunity towards viruses and mutations in check” — and now, suddenly, new “mutations” are running wild without any real vaccine that work.

    Considering that we have seen hints for another stage and fake pandemic, likely in the third quarter of 2027, this would not surprise me.

- 7. This scenario could open the door for a "completely new pharmaceutical world order," with stricter policies and a social credit score system based on vaccination status.

    Not only would it open up for the return of Obama as the Antichrist in their Revelation reenactment, it would open up the stage for a completely new pharmaceutical world order.

    New stricter policies and the social credit score system based on your vaccination status.

- 8. The author suggests that in such a future scenario, people would be killed through "poisoning and/or radiation," and "programmed sheeple" would willingly beg for and line up for mRNA vaccines and multiple boosters.

    They would kill off a lot of people through poisoning and/or radiation, and all the programmed sheeple would beg for the return of the mRNA vaccine and multiple boosters.

    They would line up to get all their shots without hesitation.

- 9. The cancellation of mRNA vaccine development is asserted to have "no impact on vaccines nor their agenda" because it is merely a part of their script for manipulating the masses.

    No matter when the next staged and fake pandemic will take place, this cancellation of mRNA vaccine development has no impact on vaccines nor their agenda, as it is part of their script — their way of manipulating the masses.

    The only thing we can do is to refuse their self-imposed authority and their lies.

- 10. The author firmly states there is "no such thing as viruses" or "contagion," and therefore "no need for a vaccine," as the concept is built upon "lies and deceit."

    There is no such thing as viruses.

    There is no such thing as contagion.

V. How The 1987 Ban Came About in America and What It Means to Your Food Security Today - 1. Raw milk was subjected to a "scientific" ideology that banned it and vilified those who chose it, setting the stage for the decline of small farmers and food security in America. A “scientific” ideology banned raw milk and vilified mothers who chose it anyway.

   Behind this, was a wealthy philanthropist pushing his agenda and setting the stage for the demise of the small farmer and food security in America.

- 2. Historically, the normal activity of a milkman serving a community with milk and cheese from his cows was common in many civilizations for millennia, illustrating its normalcy.

    In this illustration of a time long ago, there was nothing unusual about a milkman feeding his community.

    It was what happened in many civilizations for millenia.

- 3. Raw dairy is described as a "perfect food" designed by nature, rich in nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and vital enzymes, and containing probiotic bacteria beneficial for the microbiome.

    Raw dairy is a perfect food–one of the two foods designed by nature to nourish the young (honey is the other).

    It is rich in nutrients humans need–filled with protein, fats, and sugars.

- 4. For millennia, human civilizations relied on relationships with animals like cows, goats, sheep, and camels, making milk a fundamental ingredient for their food security.

    For millennia, human civilizations have relied on a relationship between us and other mammals–most notably cows, goats, sheep, camels, water buffalo, and horses.

    But in those civilizations that did, milk became a fundamental ingredient in their food security.

- 5. Historically, dairy was local and primarily consumed raw, often undergoing natural fermentation in warm climates to produce clabber, yogurt, or kefir-like drinks.

    It was local.

    It was primarily consumed raw.

- 6. The shift in perception of raw milk from a staple to something feared and criminal began with the entangled relationship between whisky production and milk in 1800s America.

    What happened that changed raw milk from a staple of civilization to something obscure, scary, reviled, and even criminal.

    It all started with whisky….

- 7. Whisky distilleries in cities led to the practice of feeding cows spent grain in filthy, indoor conditions, producing "swill milk" that contributed to unacceptably high infant mortality rates.

    Disposing of the spent grain used to make whisky was expensive and cumbersome.

    This led to the concept of putting dairies right next to the distilleries and feeding the cows the spent grain from the whisky-making process.

- 8. The obvious solution to the swill milk problem was to return cows to their native diets, ensure clean milking conditions, and bring clean milk from the countryside, but this was not the solution adopted.

    This tragic situation had an easy-enough solution: stop feeding cows spent grain.

    But that was not the proposed solution.

- 9. Nathan Straus, a wealthy philanthropist, advocated for and subsidized the pasteurization of all milk in New York City in the late 1800s.

    By the late 1800s, Nathan Straus, a wealthy philanthropist and co-owner of Macy’s department store, advocated for and then subsidized the pasteurization of all milk in New York City.

    Several doctors spoke out against this policy noting that clean raw milk was highly nutritious and great for children.

- 10. Dr. Henry Coit proposed a decentralized solution: establishing a "Medical Milk Commission" to certify raw dairies outside the city for clean practices and healthy milk, allowing farmers to retain control.

    Leading the campaign for clean raw milk was Dr. Henry Coit.

    His approach was a decentralized approach to feeding communities.

- 11. Straus's argument against certified clean raw milk focused on its higher cost compared to his subsidized pasteurized milk, which ultimately led to pasteurization winning out due to perceived "efficiency."

    But Straus’ argument against this was that certified clean raw milk was more expensive than Straus’ subsidized, “efficient” pasteurized milk.

    Pasteurization won out on the better “efficiency” although most all players recognized that certified clean raw milk was the better option.

- 12. Doctors who advocated for clean, certified raw milk farms were "vilified, ridiculed, and bullied" by "public health advocates" who pushed for mandatory pasteurization without focusing on product quality.

    The doctors who advocated for clean, certified farms were vilified, ridiculed, and bullied.

    The “public health advocates” who spoke about the dangers of raw dairy and pushed for mandatory pasteurization shifted policy in many cities.

VI. It’s Here. AI Has Already Put 300 Million Jobs At Risk: What Next? - 1. AI-driven automation is no longer a future problem but a present reality, already impacting human jobs across various sectors, from graphic design to customer service. Once upon a time, talk of AI stealing jobs from people was science fiction.

   From graphic design and translation to copywriting and customer service, we have already seen how quickly automation can eat into work once done exclusively by humans.

- 2. The current trend is a total structural transformation of the world economy, with over 300 million jobs globally projected to be severely impacted or replaced by AI by 2030.

    What’s currently unfolding is not just a shift in productivity tools, but a total structural transformation in how the world economy functions.

    By 2030, the global workforce may look completely unrecognisable, with over 300 million jobs projected to be severely impacted or totally replaced in just the next few years.

- 3. McKinsey’s 2025 analysis projects that 8 million UK workers will be affected by AI by 2030, with 3.5 million facing complete job displacement.

    According to McKinsey’s 2025 analysis, 8 million workers in the UK will be affected by artificial intelligence by 2030, amounting more than a quarter of the current national workforce.

    Of those, 3.5 million could experience complete job displacement, with the rest seeing “significant task disruption”.

- 4. Women, young people, and lower-income workers are projected to be the most affected groups due to their high representation in fields like retail, clerical support, and hospitality, potentially widening existing labor market polarization.

    Notably, McKinsey’s report projects that the most affected groups will be women, young people, and lower-income workers, due to their saturation in fields such as retail, clerical support, and hospitality.

    However, health care jobs and roles in education and STEM-related fields are actually expected to grow as a result, meaning the UK’s already polarised labour market could widen further.

- 5. Roles highly vulnerable to automation include data entry clerks, call center agents, translators, customer service representatives, and bookkeepers, as they rely on pattern recognition, repetitive tasks, or templated responses.

    High-Risk Roles: Data entry clerks Call centre agents Translators and interpreters Customer service representatives Retail cashiers Legal assistants Junior Software Developers Bookkeepers and payroll clerks.

    As these jobs typically rely on pattern recognition, repetitive task cycles, or templated responses, they are particularly threatened by AI’s innate abilities.

- 6. Low-risk roles, such as electricians, therapists, nurses, teachers, and creative performers, require human presence, dexterity, creative nuance, or emotional intelligence, making them largely unaffected by automation "for the next 10 years at least."

    Low-Risk Roles: Electricians, plumbers, construction workers Therapists and social workers Nurses and healthcare assistants Primary school teachers Strategic decision-makers and senior advisors Creative performers (musicians, actors).

    According to the US Career Institute, these roles are likely to remain safe for the next 10 years at least.

- 7. While automation may create new roles, there is concern that AI might not generate enough new value to sustain mass employment, potentially leading to a shrinking labor market where people "fight for fewer seats."

    As with previous industrial revolutions, automation may create new roles as it destroys others.

    If AI becomes competent at knowledge work and manual roles such as with the developments in robots (as per Amazon, Google et al), the existing labour force may end up fighting for fewer seats at a shrinking table.

- 8. Futurist Adam Dorr suggests that most human labor will be economically unnecessary within 20 years, raising concerns not just about unemployment but also social disintegration, as work provides identity and structures time.

    Futurist Adam Dorr suggests that most human labour will be economically unnecessary in just 20 years’ time, as we are inevitably replaced by AI systems that can outperform us in every area.

    Dorr warns that the risk isn’t just unemployment, but also social disintegration.

- 9. AI is exacerbating inequality, making it harder for lower-income workers to navigate the shift compared to high-income earners with access to elite education and reskilling.

    There’s also the concern about exacerbating inequality.

    High-income earners with access to elite education and reskilling will have an easier time navigating the shift than the millions without the buffer, leaving existing lower-income workers stranded emotionally and economically.

- 10. Current data shows significant drops in job ads for occupations with both low and high AI exposure, with overall job listings down 43% between Q1 2022 and Q1 2025, indicating that AI is replacing entire teams.

    McKinsey recently reported that the volume of job ads for occupations with low AI exposure dropped 21%, while those with high exposure dropped 38%.

    Overall, job listings are down 43% between Q1 2022 and Q1 2025, as AI implementation isn’t just replacing one person at a time – it can usurp entire teams.

- 11. The shift to an AI-based workforce could automate boring or dangerous jobs, potentially leading society towards creativity, leisure, and entrepreneurship, but this requires conscious and deliberate policy design.

    Supporters say that automating boring or dangerous jobs is a clear net gain, and if fewer people are forced into low-value labour, society could start moving towards creativity, leisure, and entrepreneurship.

    But if that’s to be the case, it needs to be consciously designed.

- 12. Without deliberate policy reforming education, mental health support, and universal income, society risks ending up with fewer jobs, higher inequality, and no clear safety net.

    Without deliberate policy reforming education, mental health support, and universal income, we actually risk ending up with the worst of both worlds: fewer jobs, higher equality, and no clear safety net.

    These next few years will be decisive.

- 13. By 2030, increased reliance on automation in law, finance, education, and healthcare is expected, along with pressure on government systems to manage structural unemployment and a leaner white-collar job market.

    By 2030, reports suggest we should expect: Increased reliance on automation in law, finance, education, and healthcare Pressure on government systems to manage structural unemployment Leaner, more competitive white-collar job market.

    After 2030 is anyone’s guess.

- 14. It is difficult to imagine how 300 million displaced jobs by 2030 can be replaced quickly; instead, society may need to prepare technologically, socially, ethically, and structurally for this inevitability.

    If 300 million jobs do disappear by 2030, then it’s difficult to imagine how they can all possibly be replaced so quickly.

    But maybe the target isn’t to reshuffle people back into the workforce – maybe we just need technologically, socially, ethically and structurally prepare for the inevitability.

- 15. Yuval Noah Harari has warned that unregulated artificial intelligence could lead to human brains being "hacked soon," addressing humanity's worst fears about AI.

    We have heard the warnings from Yuval Noah Harari, that if we don't figure out how to regulate artificial intelligence (AI) human brains will be hacked soon," a statement that arguably speaks to humanity’s worst fears about AI.

    This may be especially so, when hearing from Schwab's advisor Harari that….

- 16. Society is at the "cusp of a Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR)" where digitalization is extending in new ways, with the "end game" being a "technocratic grid where AI controls" everything.

    In today’s society, high-tech technologies are affecting our daily lives in ways that indicate we are at the cusp of a Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), an era that builds and extends the impacts of digitalization in new and unexpected ways.

    The end game is a technocratic grid where AI controls….

VII. Juul’s Vindication Good for Individual Liberty - 1. Juul, the leading e-cigarette in the US, aims to help adult smokers transition from combustible cigarettes and combat underage usage of its products. JUUL is a vaporizer, also known as an electronic cigarette or e-cigarette, unlike any other — designed to be convenient, easy-to-use, and familiarly enjoyable for adult smokers.

   The mission of Juul Labs is to transition the world’s billion adult smokers away from combustible cigarettes, eliminate their use, and combat underage usage of our products.

- 2. The FDA, after years of attempting to ban Juul products due to a "supposed epidemic of teen vaping," has now authorized their sale, concluding they expose users to fewer deadly chemicals than traditional cigarettes.

    For several years, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) tried to ban Juul products from the market.

    But now, the FDA has given Juul authorization to sell its products after determining that Juul products provide less exposure to deadly chemicals than traditional cigarettes.

- 3. Juul Labs' CEO views the FDA authorization as an important step towards making cigarettes obsolete and establishing an orderly market for high-quality, regulated smokefree nicotine products.

    “Today’s FDA authorization of JUUL products marks an important step toward making the cigarette obsolete,” said K.C. Crosthwaite, Juul Labs’s CEO.

    “Americans who use nicotine deserve an orderly, reliable market in which they can confidently choose from a wide array of smokefree nicotine products that are high-quality, innovative, backed by rigorous research, made in FDA-inspected manufacturing facilities, and marketed and sold responsibly,” he added.

- 4. Critics, such as those from the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and the American Lung Association, strongly oppose the FDA's authorization, arguing Juul is responsible for the "youth vaping epidemic" and has "hooked a generation of kids on nicotine."

    However, Yolonda Richardson, president and CEO of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, had a different opinion: “It is a big step in the wrong direction to authorize sales of the product that was responsible for this public health crisis in the first place”.

    “Juul is responsible for the youth vaping epidemic, and its products have hooked a generation of kids on nicotine”.

- 5. The author asserts that the vindication of Juul is beneficial for individual liberty, regardless of whether its products are unhealthy, addictive, or harmful.

    Juul products may be unhealthy, they may be addictive, and they may be harmful, but the vindication of Juul is good for individual liberty.

    It is not the job of the government to prevent anyone from vaping, smoking, or ingesting dangerous, destructive, or even deadly products.

- 6. The author states it is not the government's role to prevent individuals from harming themselves with any substance, as this responsibility falls to parents.

    This is because it is simply not the job of government to keep people from harming themselves with any substance.

    It is the job of parents to keep their kids from vaping just like it is the job of parents to keep their kids from drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, becoming a couch potato, chewing tobacco, viewing pornography, reading raunchy literature, seeing bad movies, having premarital sex, eating junk food, surfing the Internet, taking drugs, watching too much television, staying on their phone too long, and hanging out with bad people.

- 7. The author advocates for the repeal of the Family Smoking and Tobacco Control Act, the abolition of the FDA and its Center for Tobacco Products, and the elimination of government regulations and taxes on tobacco products.

    The Family Smoking and Tobacco Control, which gave the FDA authority to regulate the manufacture, marketing, sale, and distribution of tobacco products, should be repealed.

    The FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) should be abolished, as should the FDA itself.

- 8. All warning labels on tobacco and vaping products should be voluntary, and all government smoking bans in private businesses should be ended.

    All warning labels on tobacco and vaping products should be voluntary.

    All taxes on tobacco products should be eliminated.

- 9. The author, despite personally considering smoking and vaping unhealthy, expresses a strong preference for living in a "free society" over a "nanny state."

    I don’t smoke or vape, and consider both to be unhealthy and harmful, but I much prefer to live in a free society than a nanny state.

VIII. Nathaniel Macon: The Forgotten Prophet of States’ Rights - 1. Nathaniel Macon, though largely unknown today, was a highly significant figure in early American history, recognized by his contemporaries as "the father of states' rights." Nathaniel Macon was one of the most significant figures during the first half century of American history.

   He was, to quote his contemporaries, “the father of states’ rights” and the figure most critical in the actual development and survival of the states’ rights philosophy.

- 2. Macon's defense of slavery was based on a strict interpretation of the Constitution, warning that abandoning its provisions on one major issue could "open the floodgates" to unforeseen changes and potentially lead to civil war.

    Although during his long tenure in Congress he stoutly defended the “peculiar institution,” his strictures were always based on a clear understanding of the Constitution and its provisions and that to abandon it on one major question was to in effect open the floodgates for other, often unforeseen or undesirable changes.

    And such changes, he predicted, could well lead to civil war.

- 3. Macon was admired across the political spectrum for his "probity of character and his steadfast devotion to principle," with leaders like John Quincy Adams and John Tyler expressing great admiration for him.

    It was Macon’s probity of character and his steadfast devotion to principle that won him general admiration from across the entire spectrum of antebellum political opinion.

    Leaders as diverse as Presidents John Quincy Adams and John Tyler expressed great admiration for Macon.

- 4. Serving in the US House of Representatives from 1790 to 1815 and as Speaker from 1801 to 1807, Macon was known for his "unbreakable 'old republican' principles."

    Macon was first elected to the United States House of Representatives from North Carolina in 1790—at the very beginning of the new American nation—serving there until 1815.

    During the presidency of Thomas Jefferson he served as Speaker of the House of Representatives from 1801

Here are 20 key takeaway points from the provided source, formatted as requested:

I. ☕️ BIGGER ONES ☙ Thursday, August 7, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠 by Jeff Childers Yesterday, the Washington Post ran the latest reel in 2025’s surreal Cinéma de l’absurde, but blandly headlined, “Trump threatens federal takeover of D.C. after attack on DOGE worker.”

If you had to pick one DOGE worker who would be most likely to single-handedly fight off a gang of urban hoodlums and carjackers while honorably defending his female companion, which candidate first springs to mind?

II. Edward Coristine's Heroic Stand According to the DC Metro Police Report, Edward Coristine, 19, and an unidentified female described as his girlfriend, stood next to his car when they were approached by a group of about 10 “teenagers” who demanded both his car and phone.

Coristine shoved his girlfriend into the car and told her to call 911 (she did).

III. Coristine's Injuries and Resilience By the time officers climbed out of their cruiser, Edward Coristine was barely standing.

His face was a crimson ruin— a broken nose flattened across his cheek, one eye swollen shut, the other rimmed in blood like a boxer’s final round.

IV. Edward Coristine's Symbolism What kind of 19-year-old stands his ground against a swarm of street thugs, face-first and fists out, while the smart move —maybe the only move— was to run?

And that, in this broken age of keyboard courage and bystander paralysis, makes him a man in full.

V. Trump and Musk's Joint Response to D.C. Crime The most heartwarming part of this unfolding story so far is how it has brought President Trump and Elon Musk back together, as both righteously responded in urgent anger on their respective social media platforms—.

—and both demanded the Nation’s Capital be restored to federal control.

VI. Washington Post's Coverage Focus The Washington Post reported almost no details about the attack —the most important part of the story— instead flinging itself headlong into the politics and quoting DC’s idiotic mayor.

You will understand *even better* why, once I tell you the story that corporate media won’t.

VII. Historical Context of D.C. Home Rule For most of its history, Congress kept the Nation’s capital city on a short leash, micromanaged like just another department of the federal government.

But President Nixon signed the District of Columbia Home Rule Act into law on December 24, 1973— months before resigning in disgrace the following August.

VIII. Impact of D.C.'s One-Party Rule What followed was a slow-motion car crash of unhinged one-party rule, fiscal mismanagement, corruption scandals, and ideological rot.

Since that fateful act, the city has been a political litterbox exclusively controlled by Democrats, with barely a whiff of opposition or dissent.

IX. D.C. as a Cautionary Tale Washington has become a cautionary tale in miniature: a $20 billion-a-year, inept local government incapable of keeping its streets safe three blocks from the White House, and now featuring roving gangs of teenage carjackers infesting its most valuable real estate.

Haha, WaPo provided *none* of this context, focusing only on Trump’s suggestion (not for the first time) of returning the City of Washington to federal control.

X. CNN's Recognition of Trump's Influence This week, Harry Enten, CNN’s senior data reporter, finally said out loud what I’ve been telling you for months: “Donald Trump is the most influential President of this century and probably dating back a good portion of last century.”

Regular readers probably roll their eyes whenever I use words like “historic,” “unprecedented,” and “record-shattering.”

XI. Trump's Record-Setting Accomplishments (per CNN) Invoking FDR twice in a minute and a half, reporter Enten rounded up a half dozen categories of record-setting accomplishments on tariffs, immigration, and executive orders.

He enthusiastically called it “a *tremendously* influential presidency.”

XII. Trump's Tariff and Executive Order Volume Enten on tariffs: “No TACOs* for Trump! The effective tariff rate, get this, 18%, the highest —the highest! — since the FDR Administration in the 1930’s … an effective tariff rate level nine times as high as this time last year.”

On policy: “In his entire term, Biden signed 77. Donald Trump, making history with 180 executive orders signed so far this year— the most in a year since Franklin Delano Roosevelt.”

XIII. Trump's Reshaping of the Country In sum, Enten concluded that President Trump is remaking the country:

*“He is remaking the country in terms of tariffs, he is remaking the country in terms of net migration, and he is remaking the country in terms of how much policymaking he is putting through in executive orders. It truly is history-making. He is the most influential president of this century and probably dating back a good portion of the last century. ”*

XIV. New York Times on Trump's Tariffs Trump’s tariffs are dominating the front page of the New York Times like it’s 1930 all over again, except this time Smoot and Hawley are tweeting about it in real time.

Haha, the Times coined the alliterative moniker “Hardest Hit Countries,” as though Trump were some kind of natural disaster.

XV. Market Response to Trump's Tariffs This morning (at midnight, to be precise), “staggering” new tariffs “snapped into place” on “more than 90 countries.”

But unlike Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariff barrage, when markets whipsawed, this time the markets didn’t flinch.

XVI. Investor Confidence in Trump's Trade Strategy Trump just unleashed the largest tariff barrage since FDR —over 90 countries hit simultaneously— and the market responded with … a gentle round of applause.

What it really says is that investors have *embraced* Trump’s aggressive reordering of global trade— even without knowing all the details.

XVII. Benefits for Main Street from Trump's Tactics Some of you will be wondering whether Goldman Sachs’ pleasure translates to any benefit for Joe the Plumber.

But Trump’s strongarming tactics aren’t just about tariffs— they also include demands for massive, multi-trillion-dollar direct investments by foreign governments *inside* the U.S.

XVIII. Trump's Diplomatic Leverage and Russia NBC ran a straight-faced headline this morning: “Kremlin says Putin-Trump meeting agreed, will happen in 'coming days.’”

A couple of weeks ago, Trump announced he’d sanction Russia and its allies with tariffs if there were no ceasefire in Ukraine.

XIX. Europe's Economic Dilemma Due to Trump's Policies But now —through their “good friend” Lindsey Graham— Trump just told Europe it must buy our oil and gas or get sanctioned like India.

Forced to pay full freight for oil and gas —no more Indian laundry discounts— the EU’s manufacturers will get hammered.

XX. Global Realization of Trump's Resolve What must other world leaders be thinking?

Not six months ago, they laughed when Trump pulled out of trade agreements, they mocked his “transactional” art of the deal, and they swore his tariff threats were just MAGA theater.
