a far more threatening set of solutions...![]() The galloping US national debt had reached $37.5 trillion, according to the US Treasury site, which was last updated on September 30, 2025. At 123% of the GDP, the debt has doubled since 2015, when it was slightly over 18 trillion, showing an incredible rate of expansion, which pushes Washington to accelerate reckless plans of plundering other countries.
nursing the church of england that had relinquished its authority to lead......The Church of England has appointed its first female Archbishop of Canterbury, ending 1,400 years of male leadership. Former top British nurse, Sarah Mullally, was installed as the confession’s highest-ranking clergy by a church synod on Friday. Though female priests were first ordained in 1994, women were not permitted to take senior posts until 2014, a reform that followed years of internal schisms and debates within the Church. Before entering the clergy, Mullally built a distinguished career in nursing, rising to become England’s Chief Nursing Officer. She was ordained as a priest in 2002, and went on to serve as as Bishop of Crediton and then Bishop of London, the Church’s third most senior post. Known for her inclusive stance, she has supported prayers and blessings for same-sex couples, framing her leadership around openness and pastoral care.

Monetary power and public debt BY Thomas Erpé
going nuts or being there a long time ago?....Given his behaviour, it could very well be that the president of the United States is going nuts. Over the weekend, on his Truth Social, Trump shared a video purporting to be a segment on Fox News — it wasn’t — in which an AI-generated, deep-faked version of himself sat in the White House and promised that “every American will soon receive their own MedBed card” that will grant them access to new “MedBed hospitals.” What? Dementia president: Could it be that Trump has truly lost his mind?
israhell being exposed as genocidistic can create "moral injury"........Civilisation is under attack from Australian doctors, warns pro-Israel psychiatrist Doron Samuell. Royal Children’s Hospital agrees. Wendy Bacon and Stephanie Tran investigate. In September, Sydney psychiatrist Doron Samuell wrote to the CEO of the Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) advising him that a scheduled staff panel on ‘Children and War’ would risk inflicting “moral injury, vicarious trauma, and harmful workplace behaviours” on Jewish staff and patients.

betrayed once more....The Trump Plan is designed to reframe the issues in favour of Israel. Palestinians have been betrayed again. The indicted war criminal Netanyahu has got what he wants. The felon, Trump, so eager for a Nobel Peace Prize, has obliged him. Tony Blair’s involvement suggests satire rather than diplomacy. No justice or peace for Palestinians in Trump’s Plan
like it or not, putin proposes a values manifesto....
Russian president Vladimir Putin used his address at the Valdai forum on Thursday to issue a challenge: Western liberal societies are crumbling, convulsing in moral chaos, and Russia is emerging as a sanctuary of tradition. He warned of “gender terrorism” driving Europeans toward Russia, and spotlighted the televised killing of conservative American voice Charlie Kirk as evidence of the West’s internal collapse.
The hidden frontline: Here’s why Putin’s Valdai speech was actually a cultural manifesto
so, you hate putin....Ladies and gentlemen, journalists and news watchers of the Western world, lend me your biased ear….
I have a question for you. Why do you hate Russia? YOU HATE RUSSIA, DON’T YOU? Putin?… What’s not to hate about invading a neighbouring country and killing many people, you might say for starters…
I know with a very high degree of certainty that you are wrong, but I also know that you wont change your mind easily. You have been well trained....
BY GUS LEONISKY
You might listen to my alternative point of view, but, considering that you have been “propagandised” to the max by the “colonial residue” that still controls Western thinking that gives you a belief in traditional superiority, you wont change your mind…

subsidised carbon emissions...Federal subsidies for the fossil fuel industry have more than doubled since 2017 to an estimated $34.8 billion each year, a new analysis from Oil Change International has found. The report’s authors say that amount could soar to hundreds of billions of dollars in the years to come if lawmakers fail to rein in subsidies for controversial carbon capture and hydrogen technologies.
Subsidies for Fossil Fuel Firms Have Doubled Since 2017, Now $35 Billion a Year
the pirates from israhell strike again.....The pirates of Israeli supremacy: The West’s favorite rogue state has done it again The long-expected if perfectly criminal has happened again: Israel’s navy has intercepted the Gaza-bound Sumud Flotilla by force, stopping almost 50 boats and, in effect, kidnapping hundreds of their crews and passengers.

merz opposes von der leyen’s proposals for new EU taxes.....
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is seeking to claw back decision-making power from European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday, citing diplomats familiar with the matter. Merz, increasingly critical of Brussels, wants Berlin to have greater influence over issues directly affecting EU members, according to one of the sources. He has already opposed von der Leyen’s proposals for new EU taxes and her plan to send peacekeepers to Ukraine, while also clashing with her over a tariff agreement with the US and climate regulations. “We must now put a stick in the wheels of this machine in Brussels,” Merz told business leaders on Friday, Bloomberg noted.
nominated by dracula — the genocidist....US President Donald Trump has suggested that denying him the Nobel Peace Prize would amount to an insult to the United States. Speaking to top military brass in Quantico, Virginia, on Tuesday, Trump said he has repeatedly been overlooked for the award, even though he believes his record qualifies him. The president pointed to his latest Middle East peace plan, claiming it was the eighth conflict he has helped resolve in as many months. “We’ll have eight, eight in eight months… Will you get the Nobel Prize? Absolutely not,” he said, before adding, “They’ll give it to some guy that didn’t do a damn thing.”
netanyahu is paying for effluencers....
Israel has been paying influencers for social media posts to improve its image in the US, according to online magazine Responsible Statecraft. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has recently stressed the role of content creators in maintaining support for the Jewish state. Responsible Statecraft reported on Tuesday that documents filed under the US Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) revealed details of an “Influencer Campaign” run by Bridge Partners, a Washington-based consulting firm working for Israel’s Foreign Ministry.
