flushing bolton and his boxes out....

The FBI raided the D.C.-area home of former Trump National Security Advisor John Bolton on Friday.

According to the New York Post’s Caitlin Doornbos, who initially broke the story, “Federal agents went to Bolton’s house in Bethesda, Md., at 7 a.m. in an investigation ordered by FBI Director Kash Patel, a Trump administration official told The Post.” Per Fox News, agency officials were later spotted at Bolton’s Washington, D.C. office “removing boxes and Bolton was seen in the lobby.”

Executives at Walt Disney Studios are reportedly pressing Hollywood creatives for movie ideas that will bring young men back to the theaters. According to Variety, Disney is hoping to get Gen Z men, which it defines as ages 13 to 28, interested in original films.

“The sources say Disney has been seeking new IP and pitches such as splashy global adventures and treasure hunts, as well as seasonal fare like films for the Halloween corridor,” Variety reports. “The calls come as the Star Wars machine struggles to produce any film project and the superhero genre sheds audiences by the minute.”

As Israel ticks off its list of Nazi-like atrocities against the Palestinians, including mass starvation, it prepares for yet another – the demolition of Gaza City, one of the oldest cities on Earth. Heavy engineering equipment and gigantic armored bulldozers are tearing down hundreds of heavily damaged buildings. Cement trucks are churning out concrete to fill tunnels. Israeli tanks and fighter jets pummel neighborhoods to drive Palestinians who remain in the ruins of the city to the south.

 

the danger of change.....

When I was growing up in central Pennsylvania, my working-class family took vacations to places we could drive to—for example, Pine Creek Gorge upstate, better known to locals as the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon, or Delaware, where an aunt and uncle lived on the way to Rehoboth Beach. To this day, neither of my parents have been on an airplane, or west of the Mississippi River. The first time I flew anywhere was the summer after I graduated from college.

peace please....

Not too far from where the principal military industrial complex power players work and live, hundreds of liberty-lovers congregated in the suburbs of Washington DC at the ninth annual Ron Paul Peace and Prosperity Institute (RPI) conference. RPI brings together voices of differing ideologies to achieve its core mission. In its own orderly, diplomatic manner, the event was a raging against the war machine and a reminder that there is opposition to the trillions spent on military budgets in pursuit of a global empire, an empire that is nonetheless destined to collapse.

Let's call our first AUKUS submarine the HMAS Donald J Trump! A deadset brainwave by the Lowy Institute this week. And nobody, not a one, can figure out why the Coalition is still tumbling into oblivion in the polls when they have such noble ideas like defending the honour of 'war hero' Benjamin Netanyahu from the Hamas Labor Government.

Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, who is seeking a pardon from Donald Trump, told top Justice Department officials during an interview last month that she never witnessed the president “in any inappropriate setting” with girls introduced to him by disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

self-critically speaking......

The German economy is experiencing a “structural crisis” rather than just temporary “weakness,” Chancellor Friedrich Merz has said, admitting that steering the country’s economy back on track has proven harder than he had anticipated.

Merz made the remarks on Saturday in a speech before members of his Christian Democratic Union party in the Lower Saxony city of Osnabrueck, the home state of major carmaker Volkswagen. 

“I say this also self-critically – this task is bigger than one or the other may have imagined a year ago,” Merz stated.

We’re not just in a period of economic weakness, we are in a structural crisis of our economy.

not even a frenchman would follow him....

 

France has summoned Italy’s ambassador following “unacceptable”remarks made by Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini about President Emmanuel Macron’s proposal to send troops from EU members to Ukraine, French media has reported, citing a diplomatic source.

Salvini suggested on Wednesday that the French leader should go himself.

vanishing foggy windows....

I have entered the age of incomprehension

Possibly because of the infernal confusion

Up there in my old lofty pigeon

Due to a blow from a truncheon

Not even wearing an hearing aid

Would sort this inner devil afraid

Did she say a bunch of arseholes 

Or announced the next batch of households

Should I say I am too old for this piss

As Donald trumpets talks of peace

When I understand nothing any more

And everyone seems to be a freegin’ bore

Someone said political progress

I really heard decrepit congress

My brain has passed beyond the age of reason

So I could be accused of deluded treason

For thinking she said towards the future

When in truth I heard tower of King Arthur

It could be my past mixing with eternity

Which makes as much sense as the nativity

 

anchored on the free and open indo-pacific "for peace"....

An Australian Navy destroyer has joined ships from the Philippines and Canada for a joint sail in the South China Sea, an area of flaring tensions following a collision between two Chinese vessels last week.

The Philippine frigate BRP Jose Rizal, Australian ship HMAS Brisbane and Canadian frigate HMCS Ville de Quebec were participating in the operation, which a Philippine military official said was not directed at any country.

one city at a time....

This is no longer about partisan politics, wag-the-dog distractions from the Epstein debacle, or even genuine national security concerns.

This is martial law disguised as law-and-order—the oldest trick in the authoritarian playbook.

We have been traveling this slippery slope toward a police state for some time, but under Trump 2.0, the descent towards outright tyranny is accelerating.

Amid an ongoing assault on its neighbors, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) is attempting to improve its image by posting highly sexually suggestive content featuring its soldiers, changing the prevailing emotion of onlookers from outrage to lust.

 

Gooning For Apartheid: How Israel Uses Sex to Whitewash Genocide

 

ALAN MACLEOD, MINTPRESS NEWS

 

A wide range of IDF thirst trap accounts—many with hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of followers—proliferate on social media. These accounts are quietly sanctioned by the Israeli government, in an attempt, in its own words, to “appeal” to a young male demographic.

MintPress News explores the phenomenon of Israel using sex to whitewash its actions.

when good yarns are in the way of bent history...

In the wake of the much-anticipated Anchorage summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russian philosopher and nationalist ideologue Alexander Dugin ignited controversy with a social media post on X.

Dugin claimed that Putin had handed Trump “solid, considerable documents on Russian history proving that Ukraine is a fake.”

The statement, made late on August 15, quickly went viral, garnering both support and ridicule, and spotlighting the Kremlin’s longstanding narrative that challenges Ukraine’s sovereignty.
