ELECTION 2026 REPORT: THE SEASON OF AMOS

By Staff

“Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who feel secure on the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the first of the nations, to whom the house of Israel comes!

“Pass over to Calneh, and see, and from there go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are you better than these kingdoms? Or is their territory greater than your territory,

“O you who put far away the day of disaster and bring near the seat of violence?

“Woe to those who lie on beds of ivory and stretch themselves out on their couches, and eat lambs from the flock and calves from the midst of the stall,

“who sing idle songs to the sound of the harp and like David invent for themselves instruments of music,

“who drink wine in bowls and anoint themselves with the finest oils, but are not grieved over the ruin of Joseph!

“Therefore they shall now be the first of those who go into exile, and the revelry of those who stretch themselves out shall pass away.” – Amos 6:1-7

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This report is intended to give you, the reader, information to make an informed decision both on who to vote for and whether or not you should vote at all. It is also intended to be an historical document to show the conditions that allowed the results of this election to happen.

Be sure to read our Final Thought on page xx for closing remarks from both the Publisher and the Editor on the midterm elections.

It will either be a document preserving the methods the Democrats used to put open insurrectionists in Federal office, or a roadmap for how to beat back attempts by future insurrectionists to coopt our election system to their own treasonous ends.

We start off our report with an analysis of the major issues in this election cycle, then document that election laws at play in this election. We also analyze the major ballot initiatives in this midterm election.

In the second part, we cover the bellwether races of the House and Senate that we believe will telegraph where the rest of the electorate will go.

What we cannot document is the degree to which efforts by the DOJ to impede Democratic Party opportunities to manufacture votes will be effective, nor the degree to which electronic voting corruption will factor into this race.

The outcome of this election, should the Democrats win, might or might not be the actual will of the “American people.” If it is truly their “will,” then true Americans are a minority in our own land.

We end our report with a Predictive Analysis of the election cycle. This report has been divided into two parts. The first part covers the Issues, Election Laws, and Ballot Initiatives, the second part covers the Senate and House bellwether races. It ends with a Predictive Analysis. The second part of the report starts on pg. xx.

A. ISSUES

While there are variations in the U.S. House races, the voters’ issues in the 2026 Midterm elections have little to nothing to do with the nature of Rule of law in our country. Instead, the issues are dominated by material self-need or anti-Trumpism.

It is only in a few House and Senate Races that one candidate (always a Republican) is making an Americanism versus Progressivism and traditional culture versus progressive culture argument.

The anti-Trumpers want you to believe the GOP, like Trump, wants to re-enslave black people and return the white race to supreme power. This is not hyperbole; this is their base operating system’s core belief that everything else is built on.

If you could clearly disprove the myth of the white devil, their whole justification for violence as a means of political persuasion ends, for now they are not attacking devils, they are attacking innocent Americans.

This group is not only decidedly going to vote Democrat; they are the heart of the power that gave Democratic Socialists favorable chances to become U.S. Senators. This is the target audience for agit prop operations like “The View,” which regularly pitched the “Trump will enslave black people” narrative on their show leading up to the 2024 election.

At the top of almost every race is “affordability,” which is a narrative that has real truth behind it. President Trump came in boasting about how the economy would be booming under his administration, but that has not been the case.

He has brought tremendous amounts of investment dollars from outside America that have yet to bear fruit, but that factory infrastructure boom may collide with AI’s looming debt crisis.

One of the major impediments to a booming economy is the war in Iran, which is the second biggest issue in the campaign season. We believe President Trump was emboldened by the success of Venezuela, when he “arrested” Maduro and dramatically switched Venezuela from a Chinese asset to an American oil resource. We believe he thought they could remove the Iranian regime in one fell swoop.

Had the Iranian regime crumbled when all of its leaders were killed, twice over, the world would be a very different place right now, and the economy might very well be booming. But the regime didn’t fall. The constant promises of a quick end to the war ring a symphony of broken glass for every promise broken.

As we have documented in the past, the President never explained to the American people what the war was about: China and the AI War. We believe he still feels he must not make the war clearly about China for fear that either China might have the muscle to interfere or he doesn’t want to lose negotiating power. It is also possible his coalition doesn’t want to lose access to China’s resources, its billion-plus-people market.

The third biggest issue is, essentially, Trump. How it is polled versus what is behind that sentiment, we believe, are two different things. The polling cites Trump’s policies on tariffs, trade, and immigration. We suspect it is really “Trump is a Nazi and so are the Republicans” that is driving most of what we are calling the “Trump issues” people, and that lie is perpetuated every day in the progressive state press, from CNN to the Washington Post.

This group is the one willing to cheat, willing to set businesses on fire, and some are willing to kill. The Charlie Kirk assassin fits in this category. They believe they are fighting a force that intends to kill them and all their friends. This is not hyperbole; this is the psychosis that has been created by our media, our schools, and our politicians, especially (but not exclusively) the Democrats.

Abortion is next on our list. There are many women in this country who will vote for the Democrats merely to preserve the right to murder the consequence of casual sex. A smaller percentage of men will do the same. In America, 1 in 4 women have murdered one or more of their unborn children. 1 in 5 men have supported and/or funded the murdering of one or more of their unborn children.

Were America to ever turn its moral back on abortion, there are millions of people who will find themselves potentially judged socially as a murderer. There is a very real reason they would support a party willing to lock up dissenters to unborn child murder.

It is not the “right” to murder unborn children that makes abortionists violent seditionists against the republic, it is fear of consequence, for they all know in their hearts they chose murder for “ease.”

There is a very real reason corporate media will not do in-depth investigations into what abortion really looks like, both in the abortion centers and in what happens to women psychologically afterwards.

A lot of these abortion-supporting women and men find it very easy to adapt the white devil narrative, for the ones pitching the lie are also guaranteeing prosecution of anti-abortionists. Their white devil lie allows them to tell these women and men that being against abortion is just a dog whistle for white supremacism. The murderers get to morally condemn those against their murderous practices.

Forcing a woman to give birth against her will is how the white devil keeps the rest of the world down. This is not hyperbole. Such violent and dangerous nonsense is said regularly in Ivy League classrooms, by the students AND their professors. They give permission to their extremist progressive street fighters to murder the anti-abortionist infidels.

Healthcare and local economic interests round out the bulk of our main voters’ issues for the midterm elections.

What’s missing from this list is the Epstein Files, though I believe that it’s still in here, behind the scenes. President Trump’s reaction to the Epstein Files was the beginning of the end of his domestic policy magic. He became just another politician after that exchange.

His unwillingness to tell the American people what the Iran War is really about has left the Israel conspiracy theorists, almost all of them the REAL far right or progressives (or, to a lesser extent, the Orthodox and the Catholics, both of which have eschatology that lack a state of Israel), to gain social power at heights they’ve never had before. Hating Israel as the great Satan has gone mainstream.

The President’s reaction to the real concerns about Data Centers might be the final undoing of his Domestic policy magic. He no longer sounds like a fresh voice challenging an ossified system. He sounds like a stale voice pushing a new system on people without bothering to candidly explain what it is, a machine to challenge China’s AI power. The nation that wins the AI War wins the world, or so he might think (and he might just be right).

Meanwhile, the real issue in this election is the nature of rule of law in this land. The people gaining ascendancy are openly calling to dismantle the republic and begin using the state to pick winners and losers in the culture war.

The rule of law in the land will no longer be rooted in individual liberty; it will be rooted in class status, with the “weak”, the “disenfranchised,” enjoying special truth-telling powers that gatekeeps the halls of power to ensure the “majority” are on the outside looking in.

The full acceptance of abortion by most “Americans” has been the fundamental killer of the shared assumption of “endowed by our creator with inalienable rights.” The traitors of the 1973 Roe v Wade ruling chose the dismantling of America’s uniting principle and justification for American Rule of Law as a means to prevent the state from becoming womb watchers.

With the declaration that, de facto, a human is only one who is first born, then viable, the state assumed the power of God to define human life. This is a religious assertion, not a neutral, secular one, and it contradicts basic logic and science

It also cultivates a heuristic within the abortionist that gives them permission to sub-humanize problem humans, like the unborn who interfere with the parents’ ease. Endowed by our creator with inalienable rights and murdering the unborn for the sake of ease cannot coexist in the same spirit.

These issues are being talked about, hyperbolically, by shock and awe non-progressive influencers who mostly push the myth that the progressives are about to be destroyed for good. A few go in the other direction, promising the end of all things, but still offering a glimmer of hope it can all still be saved.

On the street, in the places where packs of most people gather, Tim Poole and Langly Outdoors are unknown voices that never cross their feeds. What shows up in most Americans’ feeds are the news aggregations of the corporate press, with non-progressive voices almost completely frozen out. They allow a handful of non-progressive outlets to show up in these feeds. Breitbart is one of the few “favored” allowed in.

These feeds are filled with white devil lies and Israel demon myths. To be sure, the hyperbolic emotional shock and awe tone is almost matched by the non-progressives, but their voice is a niche rowboat in the progressive-dominated sea.

The narratives that should be told are drowned out by Trump Nazis, White Devils, Zionist Ghosts, real economic pain, and the desire to use abortion as birth control. We are not debating whether anyone still wants a republic based on the creator endowing us with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; we are debating material well-being and the great white Satan manifest in Trump, nothing more.

In our bellwether races, we will cover the issues in that race, where you will see some variations from this list.

B. ELECTION LAWS

Thanks to the Supreme Court upholding Mass Mailer Elections, Democrats have at least a 2-3% advantage in any race where their people are counting the mail-in ballots. It is difficult to track the advantage they might have thanks to alterable “electronic voting.”

Eight states will have all-mail voting, along with the District of Columbia. The eight states are California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Vermont.

All-mail voting means every registered voter gets a Mail-in Ballot.

29 more states allow no-excuse mail-in ballot voting. Only 13 states require excuse-based mail-in ballot voting. These states are Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia.

Mail-in ballots are expected to account for at least 25% of the vote in this upcoming election. Nearly 1/3 of the 2024 election votes were cast by mail-in, so a downward trend is encouraging, though it should account for no more than 10% of the vote if it were limited to only excuse-based absentee ballots (what we are calling mail-in ballots to emphasize exactly what kind of votes these really are).

While some mail-in voting is necessary, the more mail-in ballots as a percentage of the vote there are, the more opportunities there are to nudge the numbers in the party’s favor. Our election report from July of this year shows how that is possible. Uncleared election rolls that allow the mass production of fake ballots are one way mail-in ballot voting enables cheating.

You can see how hard progressives, including their seditious judges, work to protect these voter rolls from purges of the dead and non-citizens. They know full well the power their party, their real country, would lose should the voter rolls be cleaned up.

There have been no significant changes to electronic voting since the last election cycle, so the ability to manipulate elections is still nearly as strong as it was in 2024.

As far as in-person voting is concerned, 36 states require some form of ID to vote. 14 states do not require any form of ID to vote. These states are California, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. The District of Columbia also does not require ID to vote.

We will cover how these election laws might affect some of the bellwether races we’ve chosen to highlight in our HOUSE and SENATE sections of our report (that starts on part two of this report, which begins on pg. xx). For each highlighted race, we will repeat the election laws of the state to make it easier for the reader to connect these laws to the specific races highlighted.

C. BALLOT INITIATIVES

We are focusing on statewide ballot initiatives in our analysis. We will cover abortion, election law, and data center ballot initiatives. These are the initiatives that are most likely to affect close House and Senate Races.

  1. ABORTION – There are four major abortion ballots in state elections; one initiative hopes to claw back abortion allowance, but the rest hope to allow more abortions for any reason, and one up to birth.

Idaho’s Proposition 1, the “Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act” would lessen restrictions on abortions and arguably make it easier for underage girls to have abortions without the consent of their parents or guardians.

Nevada’s Question 6, the “Right to Abortion Initiative,” would allow abortions up to “fetal viability.” It passed in 2024 by a 64% majority. It must pass twice to become a constitutional amendment.

Virginia’s Question 1, the “Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment,” would allow abortion up to birth, with no restrictions on why.

Missouri’s Amendment 3, “Abortion and procedures for minors,” is an attempt to repeal the abortion rights amendment that passed in 2024. This amendment would also ban transgender “treatment” for minors. This ballot question is the only one this election cycle in defense of the unborn child.

  1. ELECTION RULES – Five states have ballot initiatives that would require government-issued photo ID for in-person elections. These states are Arizona, California, Nevada, North Carolina, and Ohio.

Colorado has a ballot initiative that will require greater verification for mail-in ballots. It would require each ballot to be submitted with a government identification number, which includes the last four digits of the voter’s social security number, drivers license number, and the Colorado REAL ID number.

Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Kansas, South Dakota, and West Virginia have ballot initiatives that require verification of citizenship to vote.

Alaska has a ballot initiative that would end ranked-choice voting and the top four primary system.

Virginia has a ballot initiative that would allow felons to vote.

The overall trend of most of the initiatives on the ballot is towards greater integrity in the election system. Favorable outcomes could help American candidates in the next major general election, the 2028 Presidential Election.

  1. AI DATA CENTERS – There are no statewide measures addressing AI Data centers, but 13 states have local ballot initiatives. Arkansas, California, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, and Wisconsin have at least one local data center ballot initiative.

There are 49 ballot initiatives, with Ohio accounting for 21 of them; Illinois has 7, Maine has 4, Kansas and Wisconsin each have 3, and the rest have 1-2.

The amount of AI Data Center ballot initiatives is lower than expected, and the lack of any statewide initiative is surprising. AI Data Centers did not show up in most top voters’ issues lists.

D. HOUSE RACES

The Republicans currently hold a 218-214 majority in the House. In this election, Democrats are already favored to win 220 races. Of those 220 races, 12 of them are GOP-held seats in the “leans Democrat” category. Four of the “leans Dem” races are Democrat-held seats.

There are 17 House races in the toss-up category. 12 of these House Races are GOP-held seats. That means the GOP can lose 24 seats, the Dems less than 10 (the status of some races are debatable, but the maximum of at-risk Democrat seats are 10).

If the Democrats lose all of the GOP-held leans Dem races, then their chances of taking the majority are greatly reduced. This would require them to win 10 of the 12 GOP-held seats in the toss-up category while holding all their toss-up seats. This also assumes they hold on to all of the races in the Leans Dem category. If they do, they only need to win four of the GOP at-risk seats to claim a majority in the House.

GOP-favored redistricting has made the few challenged DNC seats challengeable, but so far, no clear GOP favorite over a Democrat incumbent has been created through these redraws as many supposed they would.

We will highlight three races from each of the four sub-categories, GOP seats that lean Dem, GOP toss-up seats, DNC seats that lean Dem and DNC toss-up seats. There are no DNC-held seats that lean GOP.

  1. GOP SEATS LEAN DEM – IA-01 – Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R) vs. Christina Bohannan (D):

The incumbent in this race, Mariannette Miller-Meeks, barely beat the incumbent, Christian Bohannan, in 2024. She won by less than 1,000 votes. The previous race, in 2022, saw her lose to Bohannan. This is the rubber match between the two. Limited polling show Bohannan with a 5-point lead, 40-35.

The main issues of this race are affordability, abortion, and immigration (the anti-Trump faction outlined in the ISSUES section of this report). There is no-excuse mail ballot voting and a limited ID (non-photo) requirement for voting.

PA-10 – Scott Perry (R) vs. Janelle Stelson (D):

The incumbent, Scott Perry, is about 2-3 points behind the challenger, Janelle Stelson. The Democratic challenger is a former local TV news anchor whose name recognition helped propel her to a DNC primary win.

The race seems to be, on one hand, a moratorium on Trump, and on the other, affordability. Perry recently ran an ad alleging Stelson had a “nudity” incident involving her neighbor, but the charge remains unsubstantiated. The race is becoming a moratorium on the alleged “character” of both candidates.

PA is a no-excuse mail-in ballot state. It does not require ID to vote.

WI-03 – Derrick Van Orden (R) vs. Rebecca Cooke (D):

This is another race where the GOP incumbent is facing the former DNC incumbent they narrowly defeated in 2024. Van Orden beat Cooke in 2023 by a mere 3 points. The polls show Cooke up between 1-4 points. There are independents running in this race that could affect the outcome overall.

This race has an AI-related issue connected to the campaigns being run, AI-generated images being used in campaign advertising. The top of the list, though, is affordability, with immigration and Iran also showing up as major issues driving the race. This is another race with affordability and the issues we call moratoriums on Trump both being major issues. The AI element is more focused, once again, on the character of the candidates.

Wisconsin has no-excuse mail-in ballot voting. It requires photo ID for in-person voting.

  1. GOP SEATS TOSS-UP – MI-07 – Tom Barrett (R) vs. William Lawrence (D):

This race is mostly about affordability, specifically manufacturing and auto industry job availability. The incumbent narrowly won in 2024. The latest polls show Lawrence leading by 1-5 points.

Michigan allows no-excuse mail-in ballot voting. Photo ID is not mandatory but will be requested.

NY-17 – Mike Lawler (R) vs. Cait Conley (D) – The issues in this race are varied. Affordability issues are there, and so are Trump issues (those issues that are moratoriums on President Trump). Alongside them are also public safety and AI data centers. There is no one dominating issue in this race, though we suspect this race is shaping up mostly to be a moratorium on President Trump.

The latest polls show a virtual tie, with neither candidate holding a lead of more than 2 over the other.

New York is a no-excuse mail-in ballot voting state. It does not require any form of ID to vote.

PA-08 – Rob Bresnahan (R) vs. Paige Cognetti (D) – The incumbent narrowly beat the Democrat incumbent in 2024. The race has the usual affordability issues and Trump issues, but allegations of insider-trading corruption against the incumbent, Bresnahan, are becoming a major issue favoring the Democrat in the race.

The Democrat, Cognetti, is the former Mayor of Scranton. Polls show the Democrat ahead by 2-5 points.

Pennsylvania allows no-excuse ballot voting. There are no ID requirements for in-person voting.

  1. DNC SEATS LEAN DEM – FL-25 – Jared Moskowitz (D, incumbent) vs. Scott Singer (R):

This is a redrawn district that should favor the Republicans. The GOP challenger, Scott Singer, is the former Mayor of Boca Raton. A libertarian candidate could be a factor in the outcome of this race.

This race is mostly dominated by affordability issues, with immigration (a Trump issue) having a minor influence. The polls show a wide disparity, with some showing the Democrat up by 5-6 points, and others showing the GOP challenger up by as much as 7 points.

Florida allows no-excuse mail-in ballot voting. ID is not required for in-person voting, though it will be requested.

NM-02 – Gabe Vasquez (D, incumbent) vs. Greg Cunningham (R):

This is another redistricted district. After the redistricting, the seat became competitive. The Democrat incumbent is ahead in the polls by 2-4 points. The predictability markets heavily favor the Democrat.

This is a race that is both a moratorium on Trump and progressive culture versus traditional culture. The Democrats have a huge spending advantage, with the RNC not investing heavily in this potential pick-up.

New Mexico does not require an excuse for mail-in ballot voting. No ID is required for in-person voting.

TX-34 – Vicente Gonzalez (D, incumbent) vs. Eric Flores (R):

This is another western state district that was made competitive through redistricting. There is a minor-party candidate that could affect the outcome of this race. The latest polls show the incumbent Democrat up by 3-7 points.

The main issues in this race are border policy and affordability issues. The border policy issue may just favor the Republican, but the affordability issue favors the Democrat (as they usually do in most races, including the Senate Races).

Texas requires an excuse for mail-in ballot voting. It does not require ID for voting, though it will request it.

  1. DNC SEATS TOSS-UP – FL-14 – Kathy Castor (D, incumbent) vs. Mike Beltran (R):

This is the second redrawn Florida district on our list. There is a libertarian who could affect the outcome of this race.

The latest polls show a dead heat between the two. The main issues in this race are affordability.

Florida allows no-excuse mail-in ballot voting. It does not require ID, though it will request it.

OH-09 – Marcy Kaptur (D, incumbent) vs. Derek Merrin (R):

The Democrat incumbent narrowly defeated her current challenger, Derek Merrin, by less than 1 point in 2024. The latest polls show a virtual tie in the race. The main issues in this race are affordability.

Ohio allows no-excuse mail-in ballot voting. It requires photo ID for in-person voting.

TX-35 – Johnny Garcia (D) vs. Carlos De La Cruz (R):

This is another redrawn Texas district on our list. The district was held by a Democrat, but the incumbent switched districts to a “safer” seat. The main issues in this race are mostly affordability related. The latest polls show neither candidate ahead of the other by more than 2 points.

Texas requires a qualifying excuse for its mail-in ballot voting. It does not require ID to vote, but it will ask you for your ID.

E. SENATE RACES

The Republicans currently hold a 53-47 majority in the Senate. There are six races that will determine the majority in the Senate. Five of them are GOP-held seats, one is a DNC-held seat. The Democrats must hold their one seat and take three of the five at-risk GOP-held seats. Should they lose their held seat, they will have to sweep the GOP-held seats.

We will give an analysis of all six races. The GOP-held seats are Alaska, Maine, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas. The one Democrat-held seat at play is Michigan.

  1. ALASKA – The incumbent Dan Sullivan is running against a non-serious Dan Sullivan in a transparent bid by the Democratic challenger, Mary Peltola, to peel off Sullivan voters from the Sullivan that matters. Despite clear evidence Peltola’s campaign was behind this rouse; the courts have yet to intervene to remove the larping Sullivan. The governor has announced a criminal investigation into the Peltola campaign.

The state has a long history of trickling absentee ballots in after election day. so the potential for election fraud is high here. The incumbent is framing this race as Americanism versus Progressivism, while his challenger is stressing the affordability issues. Both issues are dominating this race.

It appears to us there is an interest in the anti-Trump GOP faction in the state, led by their other Senator, Lisa Murkowski, to sabotage this pro-Trump candidate even at the cost of potentially handing the Senate majority over to the anti-American Democrats.

The polls show a 2-point lead for Peltola. We believe the incumbent must win by 4 plus points to avoid being absentee-balloted out of an early election day lead.

The voters in this race will also be deciding whether to continue their top-four nonpartisan primary, which has been more often than not used to prevent conservative pluralities from taking the seat, even if it means allowing the Democrats to win.

  1. MAINE – Susan Collins is the anti-Trump GOP incumbent in this race, yet it is vital for the Trump agenda that she hold on to this seat. Her challenger, Troy Jackson, is an extremist progressive who would support a constitutional rewrite to end free speech and armed self-defense rights.

Jackson is attempting to make this a moratorium on Trump, while Collins is attempting to make it about her positive economic voting record. She stresses her independence of Trump, which is authentic. For the voters, the main issues are first affordability, especially energy affordability, then AI data centers and Collins’ ties to President Trump.

The latest polls have shown Collins up by as much as three points, and Jackson by as much as 2 points.

Collins has an advantage in funding, though Jackson is not far behind.

Maine has a ranked-choice voting system in Federal elections, meaning one candidate must get a majority of the vote to be declared winner. If there is no majority winner, then second-choice votes are assigned to the candidates’ totals until a majority winner is declared. While Collins and Jackson are the only ones on the ballot, write-in candidates could delay the final tally if neither scores a majority victory.

Maine allows no-excuse mail-in ballot voting. They do not require ID for in-person voting.

  1. NORTH CAROLINA – This seat belongs to an anti-Trump GOP Senator, Thom Tillis, who is retiring. The Democrats have a strong brand contender in the former Governor of the state, Roy Cooper. He faces the former RNC Chair, and current NC GOP chair, Michael Wattley. There are independent candidates in this race that could help determine the outcome.

Roy Cooper wants this race to be about affordability, while Wattley wants this race to be about progressive culture and progressive rule of law (a social caste system) versus traditional values and American rule of law. The voters’ issues are divided between affordability, progressivism versus Americanism, and unique state issues connected to hurricane relief.

Cooper has been holding a strong 8–11-point lead in most polls, and that includes the latest one. The state allows no-excuse mail-in ballot voting but has a strict mail-in ballot verification process. Voter ID or Social Security Number information is required for in-person voting.

  1. OHIO – This is a special election that was necessitated by JD Vance, the former incumbent, becoming the Vice President of the United States. John Husted was appointed to fill out the term. His challenger, Sharrod Brown, lost the other Ohio Senate seat in 2024. He hopes to return to the Senate in the other seat.

There is a libertarian candidate who could influence the final outcome in this race.

Sharrod Brown hopes to make this election a moratorium on Trump, while Husted is stressing tax relief. AI Data centers are a major issue in this race, with Brown calling Husted the “Face of Data Centers.” The other issues with voters are affordability, especially electricity costs connected to data centers, the war in Iran, and tax relief.

The latest polls show a 2–4-point lead for Brown.

North Carolina is a no-excuse mail-in ballot voting state. It requires strict photo ID for in-house voting.

  1. TEXAS – The GOP incumbent, John Cornyn, lost in a run-off primary to the state’s Attorney General, Ken Paxton. The GOP candidate is running against State Representative James Talarico, a radical progressive xtian who regularly refers to God as being non-binary and denies the deity of Christ.

Talarico has openly supported the effective dismantling of many basic American rights, such as freedom of religion, freedom of speech, right to bear arms, and even due process rights. He runs in this race as a “moderate” Democrat promising most general audiences a more affordable life.

Paxton has been framing the race as Americanism and Traditionalism versus far-left progressive extremism, which is an existential threat to the republic. Paxton’s checkered past, which includes an impeachment enabled by progressive republicans in cooperation with the Democratic minority, has become one of the main issues for voters.

The top issues for voters are corruption affordability, and Trump ties, all of which bodes poorly for Paxton. The polls show Talarico with a 2–3-point lead.

Texas requires a qualifying excuse for its mail-in ballot voting. It does not require ID to vote, but it will ask you for it.

  1. MICHIGAN – This is an open DNC seat. The incumbent, Gary Peters, is retiring. The Democrat nominee, Abdul El-Sayed, is a radical Islamist progressive pretending to be a “moderate” Democrat only interested in saving voters money and exposing Trump’s corruption. He preaches Medicare for all and an end to ICE funding.

The main issues for voters are cost of living, tariffs, data centers, immigration, Trump performance, and crime. This race is not about progressivism versus Americanism among the electorate, despite Mike Rogers’ efforts to make it so. The latest polls give El-Sayed a 2–7-point advantage.

Michigan allows no-excuse mail-in ballot voting. Photo ID is not mandatory but will be requested.

PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS

The 2026 Midterm election has two main issues driving most races, affordability and anti-Trumpism. By anti-Trumpism we are not referring to disagreements with Trump policies (we have plenty of disagreements with Trump policies ourselves), but with a progressive-propagated lie that Donald Trump represents the white devil coming back to power.

Where candidates are attempting to make the race a moratorium on the anti-American, anti-human policies of the violent progressive ideology driving the Democratic Party, the progressive state press is doing its best to keep the focus on affordability.

When they’re not doing that, they’re demonizing opposition to progressive policies, like abortion, open borders, systemic institutional anti-white racism, and what we call rainbow fascism (forcing people to publicly affirm the degenerate social morality of the anti-Christian progressives).

If the polls are accurate, so far, the voters are not viewing this race as a contest between Americanism and Progressivism, as most don’t seem to believe progressives are the anti-American insurrectionists that any American who understands “endowed by their creator” would recognize they are.

Progressives are the kind ones, protecting homosexuals and non-whites from brutal white oppression. Progressives are the kind ones offering assurance of comfort in exchange for police state control. So far, the polls show the “Americans” want this promise.

The voters are at ease in Zion, and believe the progressives can keep them in that state, not worrying about the existential threat to the republic that progressive policies are in material reality. It is better to lose the republic and preserve abortion, open borders, and child sex medical experiments than it is to preserve the republic and end such anti-human, self-consuming practices.

While there are some reasons to doubt the sincerity of the polls, we believe the marketing efficacy of the polls might be worth 1-2 percentage points for the Democrats, for it will embolden Democrats who see an opportunity to win close races and demoralize the Republicans who will feel their vote won’t make a difference.

If the polls are fake, and some are self-admitted fakes, they still help the Democrats create real voters, as well as give the Democrats cover to cheat, should the “opportunity” present itself.

With the Democrats, we are dealing with an ideology, like Islam, that countenances deception and violence as a means of political persuasion because both Islam and Progressivism preach a message of heaven on earth through murder and lies against an enemy both factions reduce to demons.

The more institutional power they have, the more those institutions will become fraudulent, violent machines of war intended to destroy the republic and allow the progressives to finally have a country of their own (not America, that name will be dropped if and when they finally consolidate total political power).

We can hope the polls are so skewed that not even their marketing effect, coupled with the Democrats’ ability to manufacture votes through unchecked voter rolls and simple electronic voting manipulation, will be enough for them to cheat their way to victory.

In any race where the Democrats’ unaccountability election laws (laws intended to make it easy to cheat) are the law of the land, we suspect the Republican will have to win that race by at least 4 points, possible 5 or 6 (depending on the electronic voting manipulation power the Democrats possess).

We do not believe the polls are so fake as to bury such commanding leads for Republicans, so we suspect the outcome of this election will be a strong majority in the House for the Democrats and a tie in the Senate, 50-50. The majority for the Democrats will be no less than a 10-seat advantage. It could be more.

With this “victory,” expect the “woke” activists to become more emboldened, more violent, progressive state and local governments to prosecute more Americans for the crimes of being non-progressive, and corporations that were walking away from wokeness to turn back to them again.

A DNC win will trigger criminal investigations and prosecutions at state and local levels, bury our congress in constant sham hearings intended on convicting Trump and his allies of crimes they mostly didn’t actually commit, and embolden the street fighters that gave them this victory to ratchet up their violence.

You will see more and more progressives openly calling for the American republic to be scrapped, to form a new constitution with a new name for their progressive state.

We have long-recommended President Trump use every legal means possible to declare the Democratic Party an insurrectionist terrorist operation. We have called on him to use his emergency and insurrection act powers to arrest its leaders, prosecute them for treason, confiscate their assets (including the progressive state press, a treasonous information terror network), and punish the insurrections to the fullest extent of the law.

We should not be holding elections in which Islamists and Socialists are allowed to rule over a country they all want to murder. Yet here we are.

If it happens as we imagine it will, it is a judgment of God on the land, a land that accelerated its descent into progressive madness the day its own court protected child murderers from rightful prosecution.

If the polls are more skewed than we imagine, and electronic voting manipulation powers are not as great as we think they might be, then the Republicans might hold on to the House. They might even pick up a few seats, but they will still have a majority that can be nuked by traitors within their own party (as this current small majority has often ALREADY been subverted by those same traitors).

In the Senate, they could pick up 2 more seats (at most) and make it much more difficult for traitors within their party (like Susan Collins, should she hold on and win) to subvert the American agenda in service of their progressive masters.

Roe V. Wade will be remembered in the history books as the catalyst for the destruction of America’s uniting standard for a diverse (in ideas) people, that we are endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights which effectively make WE THE PEOPLE the stewards of our own happiness and prosperity, not the state.

Progressivism doesn’t survive without violence, and it has no tolerance for self-stewardship.

Progressivism is an intolerant religion, like Islamism (Muslims who believe in a Sharia state), that should not be tolerated, let alone be legal.

Tolerating the intolerant is to make your neighbor their next victim.

This is the land of the brave free, not the land of seditious cowards seeking to murder their way to heaven, with Americans becoming the dead bodies they will pile up wherever they have the power to do so.

This election is about America, and hardly anyone outside of a few niche audiences knows it or seems to care. Truly, we have entered the season of Amos, where the people of the land close their eyes to the depravity around them, with the hope of preserving their beds of ivory and their bowls of wine.

III. TOOLS OF ENGAGEMENT

A. THE BIRTH OF THE ECUMENICAL NATION-STATE

In our October 16, 2026, MIA issue Paul Gordon Collier wrote about his experience researching the immigration crisis in Europe. He wrote: “In the course of our research, we have discovered that the narratives around the three bellwether European countries we are using for this report are being buried by search engines that assure only progressive state media shows up in current news search results.

“Even when prompting AI to present data outside of the progressive state press, not one major AI deployed could comply. Even when we provided them with a list of websites that we use for news aggregate analysis, the AI could still not produce research results outside of the progressive state press.

“A couple of websites, like Breitbart and PJ Media, made it into the aggregation analysis process because they are some of the very few non-progressive sites that show up in current news searches.

“Without AI, the research process is considerably more time-consuming than with it. In order for us to have a more complete picture of views on the planvasion, it will take us a lot more time than we previously thought, therefore we are offering here a scaled down version of what the final report will be.

“We are in the process of building AI bots that will regularly search websites outside the progressive state press to assure we get current news research results not so overwhelmingly dominated by progressive talking points.”

Using search engines to get the latest news is fraught with non-disclosed filtering of websites not aligned with progressive orthodoxy. Our website, newslinkia.com/, archives news blurbs and links from a disparate news pool, one that includes the progressive state press and non-progressive state press.

If you want to get information on a current news story, we recommend you do one of three things, build your own news aggregate website, your own personal-use search engine, or use newslinkia.com/.

Our site is not comprehensive, so it should be used as a supplement to other sources, not the exclusive source.

B. JOAN OF HAMAS?

In our October 23, 2026 issue of MIA, we covered the French Riots. We reported: Here are four headlines that bellwether the progressive state press narratives on the French riots:

  1. FACT FOCUS: Trump and Republicans blame France’s immigrants for riots without evidence – AP News – This headline asks Americans not to believe their lying eyes, the hundreds of thousands of videos showing African and Middle Eastern men praising Allah while they unleash hell on French citizens.
  2. France has a proud tradition of protesting, and sometimes people lose their heads – abcnews.com – This headline attempts to make a somewhat grim joke; though the lesser context, the disproportionate outrage version of “lose their heads,” is their punchline, not the French Revolution. The article is accusing people of being hysterical for reacting with existential concern about what’s going on in France right now.
  3. France: Protests “brought the entire population together for a common purpose”– France 24 – This French publication is all-in on the riots, even attempting to popularize the riots by claiming everyone is participating in them. We wonder how the French citizens who are not in on the insurrection feel about this headline
  4. Looters Seize on massive French protests to raid and vandalize shops – France 24 – This is that same treasonous French press protecting the insurrection again. This headline is attempting to shift all the blame for the violence not on the politically motivated insurrectionists aiming to destroy the republic, but on “selfish looters.”

The French press has decided that “far right” candidates noticing the riots and the Islamists’ roles in the riots is problematic, even racist.

MS Now may take the case. Their mouthpieces decided to implore Americans to protest (meaning riot) here like they are in France over our economic woes. Not only are they pushing the narrative that this is an unaffordability protest, but they are also openly trying to trigger similar French-styled arsonist attacks against American businesses.

Another story from our Bellwether Digest that week showed Americans are mostly getting the kind of “news” highlighted above. We reported: LEFTIST NEWS AGGREGATORS DOMINATE U.S. NEWS – 58% of Americans are getting their “news” from far-left news aggregators that block non-progressive media from being seen. These four far-left news aggregators are run by progressive-controlled corporations aligned with the Democratic Party. The four aggregators are Apple News, Google News, Yahoo News, and Microsoft’s MSM.

Our news research compels us to track multiple news sites, on the left, right, and otherwise. Here are 10 sites that are not progressive which we regularly monitor. We encourage you to create your own RSS aggregate of these sites, or bookmark them so you regularly have sources for news not filtered through the enemy’s lens.

C. THE 2026 MIDTERM ELECTIONS

In this issue of MIA, on page 2, we concluded our election report with this claim, “While we would not be shocked, or even surprised, if the Republicans hold on to the House, at this point we must assume they will not.

“A DNC win will trigger criminal investigations and prosecutions at state and local levels, bury our congress in constant sham hearings intended on convicting Trump and his allies of crimes they mostly didn’t actually commit, and embolden the street fighters that gave them this victory to ratchet up their violence.

“You will see more and more progressives openly calling for the American republic to be scrapped, to form a new constitution with a new name for their progressive state.

“We have long-recommended President Trump use every legal means possible to declare the Democratic Party an insurrectionist terrorist operation. We have called on him to use his emergency and insurrection act powers to arrest its leaders, prosecute them for treason, confiscate their assets (including the progressive state press, a treasonous information terror network), and punish the insurrections to the fullest extent of the law.

“We should not be holding elections in which Islamists and Socialists are allowed to rule over a country they all want to murder. Yet here we are.

“If it happens as we imagine it will, it is a judgment of God on the land, a land that accelerated its descent into progressive madness the day its own court protected child murderers from rightful prosecution.”

We suspect the results of the election will not be known on the first night so we encourage our readers to track those results, as well as the fall-out from those results on our website newslinkia.com/.

FINAL THOUGHT: LAST COMMENTS ON THE UPCOMING 2026 MIDTERM ELECTION

By Paul Gordon Collier, Editor, and Bill Collier, Publisher

“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.

“This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.” – 1 Timothy 2:1-6

Ed. NOTE; Read our full Election 2026 report starting on pg. 2 and continuing on pg. xx.

From Paul Gordon Collier:

Unless the polls are dramatically skewed and/or the DOJ is able to neutralize the DNC “bump” that gives them an advantage in any close race with slow returning mail-in ballots, it is likely that the Democrats will take the House and probably come to a tie in the Senate, giving the GOP the majority by a Vice President’s vote.

I am reminded of the quote in 1st Timothy we cited above. For me, I interpret this verse with two main meanings, one which gives me peace in the midst of great trial and the other that informs my decision on voting.

In the first instance, I read this passage to show us that through “supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings…” for the hope of our leaders’ salvation “… we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.”

In other words, praying for the salvation of our leaders will keep us rightly calibrated to continue to advance the Kingdom of God, come what may, for all leaders are allowed to rule by God’s permission. No one rules that isn’t chosen by God to do so, even if he rules dishonestly.

In the second instance, I read this passage to show us that through “supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings…” our leaders will recognize the sovereignty of God over the lives of his children and not interfere with their peaceful kingdom work.

In other words, we pray for our leaders to respect the authority of God in our lives and not create rules that prevent us from living out our civilization-creating faith peacefully in the land we are called to be good stewards of, even if we are only sojourners on the earth before the New Heaven and the New Earth are formed.

This last reading compels me to want to influence the state to not create laws that impede our work or support it with violence. In this election cycle, most of these races have little to do with Americanism, which is a civic vehicle of power that DOES allow the Christian civilization to flourish within it without compelling anyone to join it.

In my state of Pennsylvania, the candidates are mostly talking affordability and data centers, not the existential threat to American Rule of Law the progressives represent, nor the fecklessness of the GOP in defending it.

One party is an ineffective defender of Christian peace, and the other means to criminalize much Christian thought, including rejecting homosexuality, rejecting the non-binary, rejecting abortion, and soon, rejecting euthanasia.

For me, I have little reason to vote outside of voting for the feckless defender of Christian peace, because at least they aren’t accelerating the criminalization of the faith like the progressives are. I won’t reveal my choice, whether I chose to vote or not.

Instead, I will suggest there is good reason to vote for the inept slowdown, and good reason not to. Outside of voting directly for the progressives, or any leftist third party alternative, there is no wrong choice to make in this election for the Christian.

Whatever you decide, I hope you do with it a spirit I myself hope to find soon, with a hope for the restoration and salvation of even the “worst” of the progressive candidates currently threatening our faith with arrests, and a faith that the rest of the Lord will steward us safely to His final willed plan, triumph in the New Heaven and New Earth.

From Bill Collier:

Politics is too big, and people are too small, in the USA, but in so many other places, from Germany and Nigeria to America and the UK, people feel that if their political tribe wins all will be saved and if it loses all will be lost.

When more than 10% of your life is caught up in politics, it is too much and it is a sign that politics has taken over real life. Most of what we have and achieve and most of what we need should not depend on who wins elections.

Part of my work involves politics, and I can tell you two things: first, that the political class is mostly just looking for a payday, and second, that the results of the actual elections they work on rarely amounts to anything more than more grift from different people if the incumbents lose.

As you get caught up in hysterics over politics and cut off friends over it, the political class just keeps finding new ways to hype themselves and create bogeyman fears of their opponents so they can sit on comfortable luxury, vaingloriously imagining that edicts can change human nature itself.

Ultimately, though, they just want the seat because from it flows wealth and power to stroke their precious egos and fill their bank accounts. Even the losers of elections gain prestige, and with it they gain economic windfalls.

Don’t get me wrong, I do believe in being politically engaged. There are times when truly sinister forces are afoot who must be stopped, but, more often than not, the shrieking at the other party is hyperventilating nonsense based on exaggerations and lies. This election cycle, however, is difficult to exaggerate the threat the Democratic Party poses to our republic.

As long as I steward myself, including my vote and my voice, as well as, in my case, my professional work, in a manner I genuinely believe is based on my understanding of what honors my God, my country, the rights of all, and my own integrity, then I can rest in Jesus to cover the many things I can never control beyond that which is in my own hands.

I believe we should all vote in our countries. It is not validating the system, as some say, in my opinion, it is stewarding whatever IS IN YOUR HANDS and even if a system you do not want to validate gives you the power to vote, then by God, I believe, you should try to use it not because it will change anything but because we should always steward everything in our hands.

Some exceptions may apply. I’ll leave it to you to decide if this election qualifies as such an exception.

Vote your conscience, vote your interests, vote for the best options. Some say that it is a vote for the lesser of two evils, but sometimes it is more a tactical decision to slow the retreat and hope for a better option tomorrow. I often feel that way in the U.S. Elections today.

The “choice” of the American citizen is often merely opting for a slower retreat from the ideal of a free and pluralistic society of equals under common law.

But politics is too big and we are too small and we should, I propose, try to find better ways to grow our power outside of politics, while engaging in the political arena as good stewards of our citizenship.

U.S. POLITICS

  1. PROGRESSIVES CAUGHT PLOTTING OVERTHROW OF AMERICA – The progressives are planning on enacting a series of violent actions after the midterm elections, should they win decisively. The plan is to trigger a federal response that will allow progressive-controlled states to rebel against the Federal government.

From the main source for the uncovered videos and documents, DataRepublican, “You’ve heard that the DSA is proposing structural reforms to America, including abolishing the Senate and imposing term limits.

“What you not have heard is – there is an operational plan to put it all into action. If the Democratic Party sweeps 2026, then DSA will become ‘foot soldiers”’ in constant clashes with the administration to cross a ‘red line’ or invoke a ‘doomsday scenario’ – meaning, President Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, probably sometime in 2027.”

  1. BIDEN’S DOJ STALKED PARENTS OPPOSED TO WOKE SCHOOLS – Parents who dared speak out against progressive policies in American public schools were tracked and harassed by the FBI. If you dared go to a school board meeting and speak out against pro-transgender policies, or gay porn in school libraries, Biden’s FBI viewed you as a national security risk.

U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon stated, “Under the Biden Administration, parents were the enemy. They were labeled as terrorists, targeted, and investigated by a government weaponized against them. That era is over. The Trump Administration is acting with unprecedented energy and purpose to restore parents’ natural rights as the primary protectors of their children.”

  1. JACK SMITH WAS SPYING ON EVERYONE – A new document drop by the White House Government Transparency Task Force has revealed “special prosecutor” Jack Smith was spying on almost everyone in the Trump inner circle, including his lawyers. He did this by monitoring the phone of the President’s key administrative organizer and coordinator, Susie Wiles. She is currently President Trump’s Chief of Staff.

U.S. ELECTION

  1. APPEALS COURT PROTECTS 20,000 NON-CITIZEN CALIFORNIA BALLOTS – A Federal Appeals court ruled 2-1 to deny the Department of Justice’s request to remove 20,000 non-citizen ballots from California’s voter rolls. The court passed on a technicality, claiming it had no power to act until a lower court had ruled. They also claimed, “The United States’s claimed emergency, at least in part, is a self-constructed one.”
  2. CALIFORNIA TELLS THE FEDS A FEW ILLEGAL VOTES ARE NO BIG DEAL – California’s progressive governor Gavin Newsom recently condoned a few non-citizen votes for the sake of not fully checking their voting rolls as the Department of Justice has requested. After the DOJ caught 28 illegal aliens registered to vote and planning to vote, Newsom’s government responded with indifference to the news.

Newsom claimed, “Yes, non-citizen voter registration and voting does happen in isolated instances — in California and the rest of the country alike — but it is so rare that the Trump admin is parading around town about .0001% of California voters. If the feds were serious about this, they would have done this long ago — not in the middle of people voting, which inherently and needlessly sows distrust and doubt in our democracy.”

  1. ARE THE POLLS RIGGED? – Another polling company has confessed to creating fake polls. Wedgwood Polls confessed it created fake polls to show Democrats ahead as part of a social experiment. They claimed, “Our fabricated numbers were given instant credibility across platforms and cited on air and reporting.”

WORLD

  1. NETANYAHU CRIES FOUL AS ELECTION LEAVES NO FINAL WINNER – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu failed to win a majority needed to form a government after the Israeli election, but so did his opponent. Netanyahu beat his opponent 21.4% to 16.2%. Netanyahu is claiming Islamist factions have infiltrated the election process, robbing his coalition of their “rightful” victory.

Golan posted on X, “We must no longer accept Netanyahu’s racist division between Jewish votes and Arab votes. We have a responsibility. And we have an opportunity to form a government of change in partnership with Israel’s Arab citizens.” Netanyahu responded, “We must not endanger Israel and establish a government that relies on anti-Zionist Arab parties.”

  1. BOLSONARO LOSES IN “QUESTIONABLE” ELECTION – The Chinese won Brazil’s Presidential election when their candidate, Lula da Silva, won re-election for the third time. He defeated the American candidate, Senator Flavio Bolsanaro, the son of the former President, Jair Messias Bolsanaro. Lula lost in the first round of votes but came back in the run-off to defeat Bolsonaro by a 51-48-point margin.

The controversy with the election began when a Lula-supporting activist judge decided to extend the closing hour of the polls by 2 hours. It is believed this is where Lula “manufactured” the votes he needed to hold on to power. The win by Lula assures China will continue to have a strong presence in South America. It also means Brazilians will face draconian social media censorship laws.

  1. AFTER IRAN REJECTS PEACE TALK OFFER, U.S. THREATENS STRIKES – Vice President JD Vance’s letter to the Iranians offering another round of peace talks was summarily rejected by the Iranian regime. As a result, the U.S. is threatening to resume air strikes against the Islamic Republic. Iran has countered that it would consider peace talks, but only if brokered by Pakistan.

The U.S. has reached out to its Gulf State allies and informed them there may soon be an “intense” war with Iran. The Strait of Hormuz is not completely opened, and Iran has been able to score hits on tankers still. President Trump once again claimed the war will be over soon, but hinted at a last intense stage.

  1. SERBIA FALLS TO A STUDENT REVOLUTION – Candidates in support of the “Student List” won the majority of seats in Serbia’s election, overthrowing the long-standing power of pro-Russian and Pro-Chinese Prime Minister Aleksander Vucic. The Student List won 52.7% of the vote and 140 of the 250 Parliament seats. The incumbent party, the Serbian Progressive Party, has been in power since 2012.
  2. FRANCE ISLAMIST-PROGRESSIVE RIOTS CONTINUE – Under the guise of “education reform,” which is mostly demanding more resources and creating policies aligned with the Progressive-Islamist alliance, riots across France in most major cities continue unabated. So far, more than 5,000 people have been arrested.
  3. IN WAKE OF MASS “MIGRANT INVASION,” SPAIN’S PM FORCED TO CALL SNAP ELECTIONS – Spaniards are joining the growing national protests against their country’s policies of open borders and the state’s attempt to destroy their national identity. The pressure is mounting on the regime in power, the progressives. They rule under their current Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, who rules thanks to a coalition of leftists.

His own party fared worse than the pro-Spanish party in the last election (which finished first but was kept out of power by the far-left coalition). Now, Sanchez must call a Snap election before any hope of winning another election (if he even makes it to that point) dies as the resistance to his Spain-hating policies grows.

  1. ALBERTA CHOOSES SOVIET CANADA – The vote to secede from Canada failed in Alberta by a convincing margin, with only 23% voting to start the process of secession. With results being delayed, and polls not opening in all places when they should have been, some doubt might remain about the results, but the margin makes it difficult to sustain.
  2. BURNHAM BLAMES RUSSIA FOR BREXIT – UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has telegraphed his next major move, setting up an election with Brexit on the chopping block. He is leading an international effort to paint Britain’s choice to leave the EU as a Russian-manipulated outcome, justifying a revisiting of the question. He accused Russia of meddling not only with the 2026 vote, but with other European elections as well.
  3. HAMAS SUPPORTERS MARCH ON OCTOBER 7 – Hamas supporters in London decided to march on the 3rd anniversary of the October 7 slaughter of innocent Israelis by the organization they are marching for. The march was not seen as racist by British police, despite it clearly sending a message to the Jews that they’re still next. It is an embrace of the slaughter of the Jewish race, nothing more.
  4. WOMEN IN INDIA STERILIZED TO WORK SUGARCANE FIELDS – With little opportunity outside of working sugarcane fields, hundreds of thousands of women in India choose to have their wombs removed to stop having periods. They do this to ensure they don’t miss workdays.

One woman described what they must endure: “We never have a day off. Once we arrive here, it’s constant work every single day for the next four to five months. Even removing my own uterus requires taking on debt. It feels like my body itself has become a slave to the system.”

CHINA

  1. CCP AGENT CAUGHT SPYING ON TAIWANESE AMERICANS – The DOJ has arrested Wanying “Heather” Zeng, 34, under charges she was spying on Taiwanese Americans for the Chinese government. Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg declared, “The central allegation here – that Zhang, at the behest of the People’s Republic of China, covertly surveilled relatives of a high-ranking foreign government official in the United States – is deeply troubling…”

U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli added, “Ms. Zhang is charged with acting at the direction of Chinese government officials to spy on the family of a senior Taiwanese official here in the United States. She violated our laws and will be held accountable in our courts. We will aggressively investigate and prosecute illegal foreign operations on American soil.”

  1. CHINA LOSES TRILLIONS AS FAITH IN AI FALTERS – The Chinese STAR 50 Index has lost trillions of dollars in value in recent months thanks mostly to lost faith in AI. The total value of AI stocks accounts for 40% of the market. The AI machines being built aren’t making money off their domestic market, a problem the U.S. might be facing soon as well.
  2. CHINA WINS IN U.S. COURT – A Federal judge has decided the Pentagon does not have a right to block firms from having defense contracts that lobby for Alibaba. The company rewarded in the ruling is a CCP-controlled and supporting enterprise. This ruling allows the CCP to continue to infiltrate American military procurement infrastructures. They can effectively even “lobby” congress to make it happen.
  3. CHINA ENTERS LAOS – China has sent a military convoy into the border nation of Laos, which is raising concerns of Laotians who have bad memories of colonization from world powers. The military is being moved into a permanent “Training Center,” which is raising even more red flags among the local population.
  4. CHINA ADDS AIR BASE TO “TRAINING” IN LAOS – China has extended its presence in Laos following reports it had set up a training camp inside the country. Now, China appears to have built an air base within Laos as well. Satellite imagery showed Chinese military aircraft leaving from and landing in the region identified as the new air base. Beijing has now claimed the base is to train Laotian pilots to fly Chinese fighters.

CULTURE

  1. LEFTIST NEWS AGGREGATORS DOMINATE U.S. NEWS – 58% of Americans are getting their “news” from far-left news aggregators that block non-progressive media from being seen. These four far-left news aggregators are run by progressive-controlled corporations aligned with the Democratic Party. The four aggregators are Apple News, Google News, Yahoo News, and Microsoft’s MSM.
  2. SHARIA GAINING FAVOR AMONG AMERICAN YOUTH – Thanks in large part to great efforts by progressive-controlled government schools promoting Islam and excoriating Christianity, a new poll reveals 4 in 10 young Americans have a favorable view of Sharia, Islamic Law.

The poll indicts the public education system, which has fallen to insurrectionist progressives. These “teachers” are more aligned with Chairman Mao and Osama Bin Laden than they are with George Washington and Jesus Christ.

3. AMERICAN UNDERGRADS BECOMING VIOLENT PROGRESSIVES – A new poll from the Buckley Institute claims 45% of American undergrads support violence against “hate speech.” 30% of self-identifying “conservative” undergrads agreed. 22% of undergrads believe America deserved 9/1. Among those who support violence against “hate speech,” 72% say “hate speech” is a constitutionally protected form of free speech.

4. SOMALI TEEN PLOTTED MASS MURDER IN MALL OF AMERICA – The FBI caught another wanna-be terrorist before they could act by first seemingly enabling their actions. Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud, an 18-year-old Somali American, was arrested and accused of plotting to kill Americans in the Mall of America. He was going to use an AK-47 and 200 rounds of ammo. The teen purchased the inert AK-47, and the ammo, from the FBI. This is how the arrest was made.

The DOJ released a statement that, in part, exclaimed, “The FBI rendered the AK-47 rifle inert prior to the transaction. During the sale of the firearm and ammunition, Mohamud reaffirmed his plan to use the firearm and ammunition to shoot people at the Mall of America”

5. CHILD GENDER “THERAPISTS” CONTINUE SHUT-DOWN OPERATIONS UNDER NEW NAMES – When child transgender therapists and operations are shut down from organizations relying on Federal tax dollars, they turn to independent trans zealots to both fund and protect them. The Trump administration is working on identifying shut down operations and following them when they go “independent.”

6. HARVARD PROFESSORS AND ALUMNI ARE AGAINST HIRING CONSERVATIVES – A recent suggestion by Harvard that it should do more to get conservative professors hired was met with stiff resistance from progressive professors. Over 95% of Harvard’s professors are self-identifying progressives.

Progressive alumni joined in the resistance, with one alumnus claiming, “Even supposing that [silencing] takes place, how would the hiring of conservative faculty act as a countervailing force? Surely such hiring may inhibit viewpoint diversity rather than nurture it.” We will leave that statement represent the mind of the progressive in all its incongruity with reality.

7. UK SUPPORTS GLOBAL HATE SPEECH CRACKDOWN – The UK is coming out in support of a UN resolution demanding worldwide action to prevent hate speech. The Burnham administration declared, “… we, the UK, thank the African Group for bringing forward this resolution and pay particular tribute to South Africa for their principled leadership in keeping the fight against racism high on the international agenda.”

8. WOMAN ALMOST SUICIDED BY CANADA FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO COOK – A woman who was depressed because she felt she could no longer cook for her family was approved for suicide by Canadian doctors. Fortunately, she was talked out of it, but not by the doctors, who may have wanted to profit from her organs.

Canada’s embrace of euthanasia, which was supposed to be a measure of last resort for the truly terminally and pain-ridden ill, has led it to expand the reasons people can apply for state-assisted suicide. We can add to that growing list not being able to cook for your family. Now, even euthanasia supporters are raising the alarm on Canada’s seemingly careless reliance on suicide to cure its social and economic woes.

9. SUPPORT FOR CRIMINALIZING OFFENSIVE SPEECH SPIKES – Four in 10 U.S. students support criminal prosecution of “offensive speech,” which is up 7 points from last year. The survey came from the Buckley Institute. At the same time, 73% of students agreed the Constitution is an important document for the U.S., not an outdated one.

10. IDAHO PROPOSITION WOULD ALLOW MINORS TO CONSENT TO ABORTION – Despite what the ACLU has been saying about Idaho’s Proposition 1, critics counter that it does, in fact, allow minor children to consent to abortions without parental notice. The proposition, if passed, would remove limits on abortion and effectively allow children to have abortions without parental consent.

11. BELGIUM’S EUTHANASIA EXPLODES – Over 1,100 people have been euthanized by Belgian authorities for ailments that are not immediately terminal. In 2025, euthanasia deaths jumped 12.4% from last year. They accounted for 4% of all national deaths.

MARKET

  1. NINE U.S. BANKS DEBANKED DISSENTERS OF THE PROGRESSIVE ORTHODOXY – Nine major U.S. banks have been found to have debanked Americans for holding views not acceptable to the anti-American ideology of progressivism. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) released a report exposing the unconstitutional, and possibly criminal actions.

The nine banks listed were: BMO Bank, Capital One, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase Bank, PNC Bank, TD Bank, U.S. Bank, and Wells Fargo Bank. These debankings happened between 2010 and 2025, meaning they continued after Trump took office.

  1. AI DEBT LOOMING THREAT ON WORLD ECONOMY – The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has issued a warning to global markets about the looming debt in the AI industry. It claims all the major American tech companies are saddled with AI investment bills not met with AI-producing revenues.
  2. META GETS $25 BILLION BILL OVER 2016 ELECTION – A New Mexico court is ordering Meta to pay $25 billion in a civil lawsuit for allowing Cambridge Analytica access to user data during the 2016 election. The company was working for the Trump campaign. It used that information to help the Trump campaign more effectively target potential voters.

SCI-TECH

  1. U.S. AXES DEEPSEEK, CHINA THREATENS COUNTERACTION – The U.S. has announced a ban on China’s DeepSeek AI from U.S. government systems, citing security risks. China has responded by threatening consequences if the U.S. doesn’t reverse this decision. DeepSeek models “present multiple threat pathways,” according to a notice published in the U.S. Federal Register.
  2. GOP HANDS AI GOVERNANCE OVER TO CALIFORNIA – Because the Republican-controlled national legislature failed to pass a measure to block them, California is set to be the definer of AI standards. Now, Anthropic is using California’s AI standards to push a national bill forward that could allow their AI agents to work without government intervention unless the high threshold of 50 lives in danger is met.
  3. ANTHROPIC WANTS TO MERGE WITH THE PRESIDENT – Anthropic has launched a “presidential engagement” project in preparation for the 2028 Presidential election. They plan on engaging with major U.S. presidential candidates on AI policy to determine their political strategy. From this, their political funding strategy would follow. It’s a transparent “buy influence” program being advertised in advance ahead of the 2028 elections. It is projected Anthropic will be a $2 trillion plus venture. With no limits on campaign finance, this will make Anthropic an instant President maker.
  4. ANTHROPIC ANNOUNCES RESTRICTIONS ON BEING MEAN TO ITS AI AGENT, CLAUDE – Anthropic has announced plans to implement a new governance policy for users of its AI agent, Claude. The change of policy would eventually block users from using Claude who are consistently “mean” to Claude.

They claim the rule will be enforced selectively, “only in extreme cases, where users repeatedly act cruelly toward our models, with no discernible purpose.”

PEOPLE ADVANCE

  1. SOCIAL SECURITY TO GET RECORD CLEANUP AFFECTING 50 MILLION RECORDS – The Social Security Administration (SSA) has identified 50 million Social Security records that have inaccurate or fraudulent information. They’ve begun a massive database cleanup of Social Security records, which is intended to dramatically reduce fraud. This is the largest cleanup operation in the history of the SSA.
  2. NO HEARINGS FOR ILLEGALS – The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 10-7 to continue to allow the Federal government to detain illegal aliens without a hearing. The ruling makes it easier to deport illegal aliens, whose deportations are often delayed by lengthy hearing-delay tactics from progressive activist “lawyers.”
  3. OREGON SCHOOL SHOOTING STOPPED BY AMERICAN GUN OWNER – A shooting at an Oregon high school left three children, aged five, eight, and 1l, along with one teacher, dead. The shooter has been identified as John J. Griffin III. The shooter was stopped by a parent with a concealed carry license, saving many lives, but tragically not all lives.
  4. TRUMP TARGETS MAJOR U.S. CORPORATIONS IN FOREIGN VISA CRACKDOWN – Vice President JD Vance announced the Trump administration’s new restrictions on the H-1B Visa program. These new restrictions effectively end U.S. corporate reliance on “cheap foreign labor” for high-level positions, which effectively freeze Americans out of higher potential seats of power.
  5. SCOTUS AFFIRMS TRUMP’S RIGHT TO FIRE FEDERAL EMPLOYEES – A challenge to President Trump firing of a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) member was dismissed by the Supreme Court. Gwynne Wilcox, a progressive, was fired by President Trump. She sued to get her job back.
  6. EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT RUNS OUT OF PATIENCE WITH ISLAM – The European Parliament has passed a resolution condemning the Muslim Brotherhood and calling on action to be taken against Islamists in Europe. French European Parliament member Céline Imart said of the passage, “This is a historic victory because it is a European first.”
  7. CNN FALLS TO MAGA? – The merger deal between Paramount and Warner Brothers has now officially gone through, meaning a Trump-supporting family, the Ellisons, OFFICIALLY hold the reins of power of CNN, the progressive state cable news flagship.

The current head of CNN, Mark Thompson, said of the merger, “First, I’m convinced that from David Ellison on down, Paramount Skydance leadership really does believe in news alongside entertainment as a top strategic opportunity for our new company… And second, having now spoken to them at length of the topic, I have real confidence that they both understand and will fully support the principle and practice of the kind of independent news that CNN has always stood for.”

  1. ICE UNMASKING STRUCK DOWN BY 9TH – An effort by progressive California to unmask ICE agents in an effort to help their street fighters locate and terrorize (or worse) ICE agents has been struck down by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

From the summary of the ruling, “In sum, if a state law directly regulates the governmental conduct of the United States without congressional authorization, it is void irrespective of whether the regulated activities are essential to federal functions or operations, and irrespective of the degree to which the state law interferes with such functions or operations.”

  1. CHRISTIAN-ONLY FRANCHISE CONSTITUTIONAL, COURT RULES – The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled a Christian-only auto repair franchise is not a constitutional violation. The company, Christian Brothers Automotive, only allows self-professing Christians to be franchise owners. There are 300 franchises nationwide.
  2. GREENLAND GOLD COMING AMERICA’S WAY – President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social, “Massive Oil, Gas, and Mineral Exploration is getting ready to begin in our new and beautiful Greenland! There are Experts that are saying that the amount of easily available Oil is far greater than that of almost any land, anywhere in the World and, even more importantly, from a Security Purpose in the Defense and Offense of both the United States of America, and Europe, is second to none. Any future attack on the United States will have to come across Greenland, where our Defense will routinely knock down drones, missiles, or any other form of weapon not yet even conceived. It gives us time, location, and sightline, like nowhere else in the World!”
  3. AS FOREIGN APPLICATIONS DRY UP, UNIVERSITIES LOWER TUITION FOR AMERICANS – After a dramatic reduction in foreign customers for U.S. universities, the consequence for Americans is lower tuition. Universities needing American customers are now lowering their tuition prices to get them. Several private schools struggling to exist are now lowering their tuition by 40-50% to win back American customers.
  4. PASTOR FREED AFTER BEING ARRESTED FOR HAVING 24/7 CHURCH – An Ohio Pastor has seen his conviction for opening his church 24/7 overturned by the Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals. The defendant, Pastor Chris Avell, faced “fire code charges” and jail time for keeping his church open 24/7.

His counsel, Ryan Gardner, said of the ruling, “Pastor Chris has the constitutional right to operate his church free from the government imposing draconian fire code regulations. We hope that this latest ruling will put an end to the years-long legal battle that Pastor Chris has endured. We are grateful to all the work of our co-counsels in this case.”

  1. DOJ TO LET SUPPRESSOR RULING STAND – The Department of Justice has informed congress it will not be appealing a lower court decision that struck down federal regulations on firearms suppressors. The ruling only applies to the states in the jurisdiction of the court.

GLOBAL OUTLOOK

  1. APPEALS COURT PROTECTS 20,000 NON-CITIZEN CALIFORNIA BALLOTS – A Federal Appeals court ruled 2-1 to deny the Department of Justice’s request to remove 20,000 non-citizen ballots from California’s voter rolls. The court passed on a technicality, claiming it had no power to act until a lower court had ruled. They also claimed, “The United States’s claimed emergency, at least in part, is a self-constructed one.”
  2. NETANYAHU CRIES FOUL AS ELECTION LEAVES NO FINAL WINNER – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu failed to win a majority needed to form a government after the Israeli election, but so did his opponent. Netanyahu beat his opponent 21.4% to 16.2%. Netanyahu is claiming Islamist factions have infiltrated the election process, robbing his coalition of their “rightful” victory.

Golan posted on X, “We must no longer accept Netanyahu’s racist division between Jewish votes and Arab votes. We have a responsibility. And we have an opportunity to form a government of change in partnership with Israel’s Arab citizens.” Netanyahu responded, “We must not endanger Israel and establish a government that relies on anti-Zionist Arab parties.”

  1. BOLSONARO LOSES IN “QUESTIONABLE” ELECTION – The Chinese won Brazil’s Presidential election when their candidate, Lula da Silva, won re-election for the third time. He defeated the American candidate, Senator Flavio Bolsanaro, the son of the former President, Jair Messias Bolsanaro. Lula lost in the first round of votes but came back in the run-off to defeat Bolsonaro by a 51-48-point margin.

The controversy with the election began when a Lula-supporting activist judge decided to extend the closing hour of the polls by 2 hours. It is believed this is where Lula “manufactured” the votes he needed to hold on to power. The win by Lula assures China will continue to have a strong presence in South America. It also means Brazilians will face draconian social media censorship laws.

  1. AFTER IRAN REJECTS PEACE TALK OFFER, U.S. THREATENS STRIKES – Vice President JD Vance’s letter to the Iranians offering another round of peace talks was summarily rejected by the Iranian regime. As a result, the U.S. is threatening to resume air strikes against the Islamic Republic. Iran has countered that it would consider peace talks, but only if brokered by Pakistan.

The U.S. has reached out to its Gulf State allies and informed them there may soon be an “intense” war with Iran. The Strait of Hormuz is not completely opened, and Iran has been able to score hits on tankers still. President Trump once again claimed the war will be over soon, but hinted at a last intense stage.

  1. CHINA LOSES TRILLIONS AS FAITH IN AI FALTERS – The Chinese STAR 50 Index has lost trillions of dollars in value in recent months thanks mostly to lost faith in AI. The total value of AI stocks accounts for 40% of the market. The AI machines being built aren’t making money off their domestic market, a problem the U.S. might be facing soon as well.
  2. ARE THE SAUDIS ATTEMPTING TO BUY THE HOUTHIS OFF? – Saudi Arabia is allegedly working with Iran to broker a deal with the Houthis that would see the Houthis get $1 billion to quit the war. The allegations were released in the Israeli newspaper, Israel Hayom. The Houthis have expanded their attacks on Saudi Arabia, launching six strikes in recent days.

They are also threatening to declare war on Egypt should it aid the Saudis in the war. Their efforts to shut down the Red Sea have not quite materialized, but trade has been slowed, though not significantly.

  1. COMEY GETS NEW CHARGE RELATED TO NY TIMES LEAK – James Comey will face more charges connected to an allegation he “knowingly and willingly” passed sensitive top secret national defense information to the New York Times, a flagship of the progressive state press.

The DOJ stated it filed a “waiverless criminal information to toll the statute of limitations as it relates to allegations concerning former FBI Director Comey. Filing a criminal information to toll the statute of limitations is a widely recognized practice in federal court and has been approved by multiple Circuit Courts of Appeals.”

  1. SWALWELL INVESTIGATION LEADS TO NEW FBI RAID – A raid of a mansion in Southern California is connected to a federal investigation into the potential criminal activity of former congressman Eric Swallwell. He is suspected of having ties to the CCP. He is also suspected of committing sexual assault on women, with one accusing him of rape. It was his rape allegations that led to his resignation, not his ties to the CCP.
  2. CONFUCIUS INSTITUTES DECLARED CCP FRONTS BY U.S. – The U.S. Department of War has declared China’s “cultural outreach” centers in progressive-run U.S. universities security threats.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth declared, “These Chinese government-backed propaganda cultural programs had infiltrated our nation’s universities in almost every state. Now, thankfully, Congress banned them a few years ago, these Confucius Institutes. But they came back disguised in new forms, just like DEI does. Just call it a different name. Well, the Department of War has taken action to stop this as well.”

HEADLINES MISSED

  1. SERBIA FALLS TO A STUDENT REVOLUTION – Candidates in support of the “Student List” won the majority of seats in Serbia’s election, overthrowing the long-standing power of pro-Russian and Pro-Chinese Prime Minister Aleksander Vucic. The Student List won 52.7% of the vote and 140 of the 250 Parliament seats. The incumbent party, the Serbian Progressive Party, has been in power since 2012.
  2. CHINA WINS IN U.S. COURT – A Federal judge has decided the Pentagon does not have a right to block firms from having defense contracts that lobby for Alibaba. The company rewarded in the ruling is a CCP-controlled and supporting enterprise. This ruling allows the CCP to continue to infiltrate American military procurement infrastructures. They can effectively even “lobby” congress to make it happen.
  3. BREXIT TO BLAME FOR UK UNREST, BURNHAM CLAIMS – The UK’s radical progressive Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, continues to push an anti-Brexit narrative intended to set up a redo election. He hopes to bring the UK back into the EU, and he aims to use the riots and unrest in Britian to stigmatize Brexit. He is now directly accusing Brexit of being the underlying cause of the unrest in the country, not the unfettered immigration of foreigners that hate Britian, nor the criminalization of dissent against it.
  4. U.S. JAPAN MILITARY DRILLS DISRUPTED BY CHINESE AND RUSSIAN SPY PLANES – While the U.S. and Japan were engaged in military drills in the Indo Pacific, China and Russia sent spy planes to disrupt the action. Japanese fighters were scrambled to escort the spy planes out of the region. The drills involved thousands of troops, hundreds of aircraft, and dozens of naval vessels.
  5. 60 CHRISTIANS KILLED IN ETHIOPIA – Islamist assaults on Ethiopian Orthodox Churches have left 60 Christians dead. One attack claimed 14 lives, and another attack 4 days later left 46 dead. Local authorities blamed the Oromo Liberation Army for the slaughter. The terror group has failed to respond to the accusations.

In the ruling, the court declared, “Those included mention of plaintiffs and defendants not in the complaint, supposed ‘declarations’ from non-existent or never-present individuals, false quotations purporting to be taken from the text of H.B. 1193, and several erroneous claims that the law had already led to the demise of apparently fictitious programs.”

“French culture doesn’t exist in and of itself; there is no such thing as a single French culture. There is culture in France and it is diverse.” – French President Emmanuel Macron, 2017

INTRODUCTION

A statue of Joan of Arc stands just outside the French city of Toulouse. During the course of a series of protests and riots in cities across France, an African supporter of Hamas festooned the statue in hijab attire and affixed the Palestinian flag to her.

Joan of Arc was the woman who turned the tide for the French in the Hundred Years’ War with the English. From the French perspective, the war was about the pervasive occupation of French territory by the English. The French had suffered innumerable defeats and saw the flower of their nobility slain in pointless slaughter until a girl came forward and led the French to victory at Orléans.

She would later be captured by the English and burned at the stake for heresy, but the French both vanquished the English and became a nation, thanks mostly to St. Joan.

The symbol of the French nation, St. Joan, who beat back the colonizers, the English, was now being colonized herself, this time by a coalition of violent opportunists, all looking to destroy the French identity, for a variety of reasons (and all of them treason).

This week, the two stories that dominated our wires were the now-growing riots in Europe and the 2026 midterm elections.

Last week, our Deep Dive, Planvasion EU, introduced you to the events that led up to the French protests/riots, as well as its spread into other countries. This week, we were not planning on revisiting this topic so soon, but we believe the events in France are devolving faster than we would have predicted.

For that reason, we are going to go a little deeper on a part of last week’s Deep Dive, and that part is the French Riots.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We started our Deep Dive with a quote by Emmanuel Macron, who claimed, “French culture doesn’t exist in and of itself; there is no such thing as a single French culture. There is culture in France and it is diverse.”

If we break that down so that a child can understand it, it reads like this: There is no one culture; there are many cultures, though no shared culture. This is balkanization disguised as “diversity.”

If there is no French culture, there is no France, and that appears to be what the people rioting on the streets want to see happen. Judging from Macron’s quote, one wonders what he is even opposed to. He’s perfectly aligned with the goals of the insurrectionists.

As we reported in last week’s MIA, these riots most likely started spontaneously as student protests. But that quickly changed when the opportunists moved in, all united by a single cause, bringing about the end of the French identity and, by extension, the French state.

When the trouble started, the well-funded organizers moved in, from Islamists to progressives to anarchists and more. Anyone with bad credit or a criminal record might be inclined to join a mob that could destroy records which continue to indict them.

The progressive state press has gone to great lengths to paint the protests/riots as the fruit of unaffordability, not the fruit of progressivism and/or the immigration of Islamists who hate France. Unaffordability is a factor, but mostly when it comes to the protesting, not the riots.

The Islamist converting St. Joan to Islam was not protesting unaffordability; he was seeking to hasten the fall of the republic and the rise of a sharia state.

Our Deep Dive will begin with a quick recap of the events that brought us to this week, as well as a summary of the key events that have happened this past week. Then we will look at the actors in this drama, the ones on the street and the ones behind the ones on the street.

We will give you some bellwether examples of progressive state media protection. We will highlight key responses to the riots so far. We will cover the spread of these riots to other countries, like Italy, Greece, and Belgium. We will conclude our Deep Dive with an assessment of the unrest so far.

A. RECAP OF EVENTS

The events we see in France today were not triggered by students; they were triggered by teachers. Around mid-September, teachers in a Paris suburb began protesting the poor conditions and resources of the education system. By early October, as many as 8,000 people were arrested, with 86% of them being minors.

The protests had already turned violent, with the teachers and students now beginning to be joined by Islamist and progressive adults. The peak of the activity so far came on October 17, with a mix of riots and protests exceeding 800,000 participants across 110 separate locations. In Paris, there were 110,000 protestors and rioters alone.

On that day, 1,500-plus vehicles were set on fire, and an historic town hall was burned to the ground. There were 2,000-plus arrests and hundreds of millions of dollars of damage. This all happened on one day. Since then, curfews have been announced, restrictions were introduced, but the protests and riots continue.

B. THE LATEST

Despite bans and curfews, the violence continued this week. At one point, rioters threatened to take the Marseilles town hall, screaming “We’re taking the Bastille!”

The city of Limoges saw its historic Hotel de Ville burned to the ground. The people who set it on fire were caught on video. They all had masks on.

French President Emmanuel Macron went before the French people and declared, “Those who looted will have to pay for the damage, and those who sought to bring down the Republic will be held accountable.”

It is the first time the authorities officially acknowledged that these “riots” were far bigger than student protests, and the intention was (and is) nothing short of bringing down the French Republic.

One pattern that is being seen is that the shops being destroyed (2,000-plus and counting) don’t include Islamist-owned shops.

France’s Interior Minister tendered his resignation in the wake of the failure of the French government to protect its citizens from insurrectionists. Macron declined the “offer.”

However the protests started, it is increasingly difficult not to acknowledge the violence being driven primarily by the progressive-Islamist alliance. Yet, thanks in large part to the progressive state press, the French people are divided on who is to blame for that same violence. Some still blame the students, for instance.

Macron announced plans to change tactics in dealing with the rioters. Specifically, he will be deploying “massive” forces against the rioters. That force will include French soldiers. 1,000 military troops are to be deployed in Paris alone this Saturday, October 24, a day they anticipate will see planned attacks.

They have also banned protests officially and announced other restrictions.

An NFL game in Paris on Sunday is still, as of now, going on as scheduled, but the American press isn’t so keen on going along for the ride given the unstable conditions.

C. THE ACTORS

A Fox News Digital investigation has, so far, identified 54 organizations that are actively supporting the riots in France. Of those 54 organizations, 16 are actual student groups. Among those student groups are Communist and Islamist groups. Outside of the youth, the remaining organizations are far-left groups, including the infamous “Yellow Vests,” who’ve led other violent riots and protests.

From The CounterPoint Blog:

“The protests in France have attracted support within extreme-left milieus across Europe, including before October 17. German platforms have translated French revolutionary texts discussing barricades and sabotage. Italian activists have discussed the influence of the French unrest on domestic protests.

“In Belgium, the activist platform Stuut circulated French texts praising attacks on police, burning barricades, and looting. In Spain, Izquierda Revolucionaria, a revolutionary socialist organization, urged students to follow the French example through strikes and school blockades. In Greece, revolutionary socialist activists called for a solidarity demonstration and praised confrontations with police.

“These developments show how protest narratives, calls for mobilization, and messages supporting political violence currently spread across Europe. Earlier CEP research has already documented cross-border cooperation among violent extreme-left networks. Whether the current protest wave will lead to joint planning or coordinated violent attacks remains unclear.”

Not only did the riots lead to far-left insurgents joining in, but they also spread their progressive jihad to other European countries (and hope to add America to the list).

Some of the French “Humanitarian Aid” Organizations supporting the riots were recently indicted for embezzling millions of dollars to the terror organization Hamas, the same organization Joan of Arc was recently pressed into joining.

Islamists on the ground are already well funded by the French government through social welfare programs, so all they have to do is join in the riots. There are numerous videos of Islamists engaging in violent action against buildings and people alike. One Islamist was caught on video yelling to the police, “In the name of Allah, we will kill them all!”

One video showed numerous Islamist insurrectionists brandishing AK-47s and submachine guns. The video shows the Islamists proudly flexing their wares as they prepare to escalate the insurrection (or so it seems).

Islamists aren’t the only violent insurrectionists. A French woman with a baby was threatened with rape. She was informed she would be “collateral damage” in the name of the revolution. Her aggressors appear to be far-left insurrectionists, not Islamists. They accused her of being a “dirty bourgeois.” She claimed, “With my infant in an apartment I was driven out of because I was told they were going to rape me.”

D. MEDIA PROTECTION

Here are four headlines that bellwether the progressive state press narratives on the French riots:

  1. FACT FOCUS: Trump and Republicans blame France’s immigrants for riots without evidence – AP News – This headline asks Americans not to believe their lying eyes, the hundreds of thousands of videos showing African and Middle Eastern men praising Allah while they unleash hell on French citizens.
  2. France has a proud tradition of protesting, and sometimes people lose their heads – abcnews.com – This headline attempts to make a somewhat grim joke; though the lesser context, the disproportionate outrage version of “lose their heads,” is their punchline, not the French Revolution. The article is accusing people of being hysterical for reacting with existential concern about what’s going on in France right now.
  3. France: Protests “brought the entire population together for a common purpose”– France 24 – This French publication is all-in on the riots, even attempting to popularize the riots by claiming everyone is participating in them. We wonder how the French citizens who are not in on the insurrection feel about this headline
  4. Looters Seize on massive French protests to raid and vandalize shops – France 24 – This is that same treasonous French press protecting the insurrection again. This headline is attempting to shift all the blame for the violence not on the politically motivated insurrectionists aiming to destroy the republic, but on “selfish looters.”

The French press has decided that “far right” candidates noticing the riots and the Islamists’ roles in the riots is problematic, even racist.

MS Now may take the case. Their mouthpieces decided to implore Americans to protest (meaning riot) here like they are in France over our economic woes. Not only are they pushing the narrative that this is an unaffordability protest, but they are also openly trying to trigger similar French-styled arsonist attacks against American businesses.

E. THE RESPONSE

Macron’s national speech did little to quell the riots, and its fecklessness, some suggest, might be the undoing of his “centrist” coalition in the upcoming elections. His speech was mostly viewed as mealy-mouthed and almost apologetic. Confidence in the “centrist” ending the cycle of violence is low.

The right-leaning candidate in the upcoming election, Marine Le Pen, has been using the riots to emphasize the importance of ending “decades of anarchic immigration.” Her party has risen in popularity as these protests and riots continue.

The far-left candidate, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, was egging on similar acts of violence in the name of revolution. Now, he is only fanning the flames further.

From the Hungarian Conservative:

“Mélenchon praised the protesters’ ‘very great political and trade-union maturity’, promised to abolish the Parcoursup university admissions platform and reiterated his demand to lower the voting age to 16. The students insisted that they were not being manipulated by Mélenchon or his party, France Unbowed (LFI).

“At the same rally, he outlined his plan to replace the Fifth Republic with a Sixth Republic, tied to his vision of a ‘New France’ shaped by mass immigration and ‘creolization’ rather than traditional French assimilation and national identity.

“Arguing that the country’s demographic and cultural transformation requires a new political order, he proposed a sweeping constitutional overhaul, including citizens’ referendums and the power to recall elected officials, alongside expanded welfare and ecological regionalization.”

He made it very clear that he hopes to dissolve the French identity in favor of the ecumenical progressive state identity.

When President Trump blamed the riots on immigration, Emmanuel Macron called his claims “stupid.” He pushed the unaffordability narrative, blaming Trump’s Iran War for the rise in prices. He and every progressive (including American ones) alleged THAT was the trigger for the riots.

The Chinese are studying the riots, both to see how they might spread to other European countries (and probably how they can help facilitate that) and what lessons they can learn should the French and other European nations successfully quell the insurrection.

Progressive state representative Ro Khanna of California responded to a U.S. official claiming leftists and Islamists are behind the violent riots. He claimed, “He’s wrong to make it about the left wing… I think that we have to look at what is the cause, initially, of the discontent in this country? Why are there so many protests of young people around the world? Because the price of oil has gone up, gas has gone up, diesel has gone up, they don’t think schools are being funded.”

It’s not about insurrectionists wanting to bring down the republic; it’s about unaffordability. Just like the U.S. midterm elections aren’t about Democratic Socialists wanting to destroy the republic, it’s about affordability. It’s not about an international progressive state movement intending to replace many nation-states with one global state; it’s about affordability.

Make a note of how often the international progressive state press and leftist leaders worldwide are aligned with their progressive “American” counterparts.

F. THE SPREAD

It is likely that we will be following up this Deep Dive with an in-depth report on the revolutions brewing across all of Europe, especially if some of these spillovers from France turn into something more.

So far, there have either been violent riots or there are alleged planned violent riots in Greece, Italy, Belgium, and Spain. Spain has already had riots, but in response to the leftists and Islamists. Now, expect counter-riots from those same leftist and Islamist groups.

England has been having  its own unrelated unrest. We expect more unrest connected to the French movement to happen soon.

Even America is under threat, as we have already documented DSA members being caught planning a similar action on November 10.

Italy has been very aggressive so far in dealing with rioters, preventing the mass arsons we’ve seen in France. Greece’s movement is, for now, mostly students, and is still mostly centered in Athens.

ASSESSMENT

In the course of human history, we have created a multiplicity of governance models, and nearly every governance model was designed to serve a particular ethnic group. Even in the case of empires with diverse ethnicity, there was, far more often than not, a ruling ethnicity.

The Roman Empire may have come closest to sustaining a governance model that wasn’t primarily serving the interests of ethnic Romans. Like “American” has become, “Roman” had become by the end of the western part of the Empire, an ideational ethnicity, not a biological one.

In the course of human history, we have created a multiplicity of governance models, almost all of which were, at most, regional in scale, not universal. Outside of the spiritual universal state, the nation, the Kingdom, the Empire, etc., had no ambitions to conquer the world to fulfill their grand missions.

The Christian Kingdom of God is not a universal state; it’s a universal spiritual fellowship. Vedic religions like Buddhism and Hindu variants have universal spiritual states as well (at least many versions do), but no calls to manifest that universality through one universal state.

Islam rose in the 7th century, with a war mandate: conquer the world by force and usher in the final days, which would then deliver paradise to all true believers. They are the first well-known (possibly first overall, but we’ll allow for obscure sects that never rose to prominence to have come before them) example of a belief system not merely justifying, but compelling, its acolytes to conquer the world and create a universal state.

Outside of Islam, no other popular religion or political system called on the creation of a universal state until the rise of social ideologies in the West. They started to emerge as recognizable groups in the 18th century. By the 19th century, they were fully formed.

Initially, the social ideologies appealed to the weak to vanquish the strong. They promised heaven on earth after violent purges of the undesirables, the strong, all in the name of the claim that humans could finitely know the ideal social and build and manage structures to both create and preserve it.

In most of their systems, they identified a key necessity to bring heaven on earth, conquer the world to create one universal state. Only with one universal state could the social ideal of humanity be created and preserved (by any means necessary, of course).

The 19th century saw these same people (those who fetishize the weak, demonize the strong, and offer a false hope of heaven through an ideal managed social) begin to “question” the nation-state model (which itself was relatively newly created).

These people came to be called leftists because of the French Revolution, where the terms of modern “politics” were formed. The ones championing a universal state through an ideal managed social sat on the left side of the French National Assembly. The ones championing the ethnic-centered kingdom with an Empire sat on the right side of the National Assembly.

Left became synonymous with fetishizing the weak and demonizing the strong, then with dissolving individual nation-states in favor of the universal state. Right became synonymous with fetishizing the strong, demonizing the weak, and defending the ethnic-centered nation-state.

By the end of the 19th century, the “right” developed its own social ideology, one that promised access to an understanding of an ideal social, as well as the means to make that happen. They also justified violence as a means of creating their own heaven on earth.

But the right never championed a universal state. They did, however, continue to preserve the old governance model of majority-ethnic-dominant states.

In the 20th century, the two social ideologies clashed. After a right-wing social ideology, Nazism, was defeated in part by a left-wing social ideology, communism, Europe, the source of the right-wing social ideology, began seeking a way to “free itself” from the shackles of ethnic nation-states. It sought the creation of a region-based state no longer limited by ethnic majorityism.

Yet even within that European project, universal state movements flourished (as they continue to do to this day).

Right-wing social ideologies are rarely, if ever, universal state projects. They are bounded to a region, the region that best serves the majority ethnicity in that project. The Nazis were attempting to create an ideal social that served “Aryans” within fixed borders that would allow them to dominate the world without being compelled to conquer all of it.

Even in America, right-wing social ideologies, like many versions (not all) of “Christian Nationalism,” specifically hope to create a limited nation-state for their assumed superior or rightful ethnic group.

The EU project, which began in 1951 but became the official “European Union” in 1993, has consolidated considerable European power in its institutions, but not so much that ethnic-majority-based nation-states within it have dissolved.

France is still, primarily, an ethnic-majority nation-state despite being one of the leaders of the EU, a project designed to dissolve the ethnic-majority nation-state altogether.

In other Western nations like America, Australia, and Canada, the ethnic-majority essentialism isn’t so essential to their identities. In all three of these cases, there are no ethnic versions of their nation-state names. There is no ethnic American, Australian, or Canadian.

Even if in all three cases the initial ethnicity could be categorized as “white,” or “European,” there were, in all instances, early exceptions to those assumptions. Even the “whites” within these nations held on to ethnic identities that often competed with other white ethnic identities. The French in America had no more love for the English in America than the French in France had for the English in England.

But in Europe, which was attempting to create something like the American Federal model through the EU project (where nation-states became states and the ethnic divide became less essential), the ethnic-majority nation-state persisted.

So, they brought in recruits to help accelerate the destruction of the ethnic-majority nation-states of Europe, people who brought with them a universal state model. These people were the Islamists, the “natural” frenemies of Western leftism wherever and whenever they confronted Western ethnic-majority nation-statism.

In America, ethnic-majority-essentialism is fringe, even among “conservatives,” the “right” in this country. Yet America still largely continues to hold to the essentialism of a non-universal nation-state, not a universal one.

America’s neighbors to the south are mostly dominated by universalist social ideologies, communists, socialists, democratic socialists, etc. The leftists in America hope to                                                                           destroy the republic and make America the launchpad for the conquest of the world in the name of their social ideology,

Under Biden, they opened their borders to allow those predisposed to universalist state thinking, with no allegiance to the American state, to conquer through chaos the Americans still holding on to the non-universalist model.

In Europe, within their borders were plenty of “socialists” and plenty of universalist staters among the natives, but it still wasn’t enough to shatter the ethnic-majority non-universalist nation-states, the member states of the EU.

So, they aggressively imported Islamists, frenemies, who had only one thing in common with Western leftism: an appeal to the creation of a worldwide state. The Islamists call it a caliphate; the leftists call it the global state.

They were so desperate to destroy their own native nation-states that they imported people they know, deep down, will kill them next (if they can) after the two join together to defeat their common enemy, the non-universalist nation-state.

Now, the Islamists and the leftists (which we mostly call progressives, even though some groups would bristle at that term) sense a chance to topple governments and install their own power. They plan to exapt (repurpose) the nation-state mechanisms of power to build their universal state. As soon as the non-universalists are dead, the Islamists and Progressives will begin their wars against one another, for in the universalist state model there can be only one font of power.

Worldwide, every nation-state with leftists in it is a potential future province of the universal state. Every nation-state with Islamists in it is a potential future province of the Islamic caliphate. Among both Islamists and leftist universalists, however, there are competing claims to central authority.

The “American” left sees itself as the future ecumenical steward of the universal state, even as it allies itself with Europe and China, both of which see THEMSELVES as the rightful ecumenical stewards of the universal state.

On the Islamic side, their story is as divided as the left’s, meaning any victory over the non-universalists will be followed by decades, or more, of bloody wars as the universalists fight to be the last universalist standing.

France has become the current bellwether of this struggle, the struggle few clearly discuss, the struggle between the universalist nation-stater and the non-universalist nation-stater. That conversation has largely been avoided by the left’s claims to be anti-nationalists. They rarely define their universal state, or even talk about it, outside of intimate de facto war councils that are mostly held in tax-funded university rooms.

Like the atheist who avoids belief accountability by pretending a belief in non-god or a position of “agnostic” is somehow not belief because they have no god, the leftist avoids this very clear debate by pretending to be against nation-states altogether.

At one point, leftists were non-ethnic-majority essentialists; they have since become ethnic-majority essentialists after they created, out of their own imaginations, a two-raced humanity: the “whites” (who are devils that invented evil) and the POCs (people of color, the noble non-whites).

The only major leftist faction that hasn’t adopted the “woke” justification for power (the white devil’s terrorism on humanity) is China, but China has become, officially, an ethnic-majority-essential project, with their ethnicity of choice being the Han Chinese. China is becoming more of a rightist social ideology than a leftist one, even now appealing to the strong, the Han, to vanquish the weak, the non-Han.

They are also not championing a universal state, but rather, like the Nazis, are hoping to be the hegemon for a world that will serve as vassals to the beacon of humanity, the Han socialist state.

The very symbol of the ethnic-majority-essential French nation-state has become Joan of Arc, the woman who saved France from the colonizing English. She appealed as much to her French nationalism as her God when rallying men to her banner.

The symbol of Joan of Arc being “pressed” into Hamas membership might one day be remembered as the sign the French nation-state, the non-universal state, would soon die, or it might be the symbol that galvanizes what’s left of the French people to rise up and take their country back from both the Islamists and the self-hating leftist natives.

We don’t pretend, just yet, to know how this will play out, but we do recognize that the actions in France have brought this debate-by-violence to the fore, making the question of nation-states versus the universal nation-state a lot easier to ask and a lot harder to avoid.

The battle on the streets of France is between the French people who still hold to their national ethnic identity and those who want to destroy it. The battle on the streets of France is also, more importantly, between the universalist nation-staters and the non-universalist nation-staters.

On the side of the universalists are frenemy factions, all presuming they will be the last one standing after the violent wars end. These wars are sure to follow wherever they successfully defeat the non-universalists in the nation-state they are attacking.

The French state stands on the precipice of existence. The response by the non-universalists needs to be total and clear, making this a clear fight between one nation-state and many nation-states. So long as we continue to allow universalist nation-staters to hide behind the lie that they are against the nation-state model, we cannot rally people to our cause like they can theirs.

So long as people don’t understand the existential stakes of losing to the left and the Islamists, they will not feel compelled to take the dangerous risks necessary to defeat them. Let us pray the French people find their courage and their tongues so they can rally the decisive resistance needed to vanquish a psychotic, bloodthirsty enemy who believes you can murder your way to heaven.

Will Joan of Arc be the last cry of a dying French nation or the rally cry of its restoration? We have a strong feeling that as France goes, so too will most, if not all, of Western Europe, including Britain, go.

GLOBAL OUTLOOK

NOTE: We are following the Ilhan Omar story, which, so far, has not led to decisive action against her. She stands accused of being an illegal alien member of Congress. It remains to be seen if the DOJ has enough to prosecute and then deport her.

  1. TRUMP APPROVAL DROPS TO HISTORIC LOW – The Trump approval rating has hit 33% ahead of the midterms. The same poll shows Democrats are more trusted on the economy than Republicans. Both polls portend poorly for the American republic in the upcoming midterm election, which is an election about Americanism that has been hijacked by the “affordability” narrative.
  2. ANOTHER JUDGE STOPS NON-CITIZEN VOTER PREVENTION ACTION – Another Biden-appointed District Judge has halted key parts of the DHS’ non-citizen voter investigation in what appears to be a partisan protection of the Democratic Party. The court called the investigation into non-citizen voting an “unlawful voter initiative.” The ruling cannot be reversed before the election unless SCOTUS intervenes.
  3. STARLINK BACK ON FOR UKRAINE – President Trump told the press that Ukraine’s access to Starlink has been restored. When asked about it, he said, “I don’t want to comment on it, whether I called or whether somebody else called, doesn’t make any difference, I guess. The bottom line — he put it back.”

Ukraine lost Starlink access in critical areas, leading its President, Zelensky, to claim Musk cost Ukrainian lives. At first, Musk suggested the decision was not his. As of now, the facts behind both the access removal and restoration remain conflicting.

  1. ALBERTA CHOOSES SOVIET CANADA – The vote to secede from Canada failed in Alberta by a convincing margin, with only 23% voting to start the process of secession. With results being delayed, and polls not opening in all places when they should have been, some doubt might remain about the results, but the margin makes it difficult to sustain.
  2. CALIFORNIA TELLS THE FEDS A FEW ILLEGAL VOTES ARE NO BIG DEAL – California’s progressive governor Gavin Newsom recently condoned a few non-citizen votes for the sake of not fully checking their voting rolls as the Department of Justice has requested. After the DOJ caught 28 illegal aliens registered to vote and planning to vote, Newsom’s government responded with indifference to the news.

Newsom claimed, “Yes, non-citizen voter registration and voting does happen in isolated instances — in California and the rest of the country alike — but it is so rare that the Trump admin is parading around town about .0001% of California voters. If the feds were serious about this, they would have done this long ago — not in the middle of people voting, which inherently and needlessly sows distrust and doubt in our democracy.”

  1. ARE THE POLLS RIGGED? – Another polling company has confessed to creating fake polls. Wedgwood Polls confessed it created fake polls to show Democrats ahead as part of a social experiment. They claimed, “Our fabricated numbers were given instant credibility across platforms and cited on air and reporting.”
  2. U.S. AXES DEEPSEEK, CHINA THREATENS COUNTERACTION – The U.S. has announced a ban on China’s DeepSeek AI from U.S. government systems, citing security risks. China has responded by threatening consequences if the U.S. doesn’t reverse this decision. DeepSeek models “present multiple threat pathways,” according to a notice published in the U.S. Federal Register.
  3. MICHIGAN DEMOCRAT SENATOR THREATENS TO PROSECUTE REPUBLICANS TO FRIGHTEN CHILDREN – Michigan Democrat Senator Elissa Slotkin openly threatened to prosecute young staff members of the Trump administration to frighten young people from serving in a non-Democratic administration.

She said, “I want young people coming out of school to say, ‘Should I go work for the Trump administration? That sounds fun. I might get an opportunity.’ I want them to be like, ‘Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems I don’t want, and so let me avoid participating in that.’ I want that deterrence message sent.”

  1. META GETS $25 BILLION BILL OVER 2016 ELECTION – A New Mexico court is ordering Meta to pay $25 billion in a civil lawsuit for allowing Cambridge Analytica access to user data during the 2016 election. The company was working for the Trump campaign. It used that information to help the Trump campaign more effectively target potential voters.
  2. CHINA STALKS U.S. SHIPS IN TAIWAN STRAIT – The Chinese have sent ships to shadow U.S. ships on patrol in the Taiwan Strait. While the Chinese have done this before, these shadowing operations have recently increased, along with their presence in the Philippine Sea. The U.S. and Taiwan have met this increased activity with their own increased activity in response.

HEADLINES MISSED

  1. PROGRESSIVES CAUGHT PLOTTING OVERTHROW OF AMERICA – The progressives are planning on enacting a series of violent actions after the midterm elections, should they win decisively. The plan is to trigger a federal response that will allow progressive-controlled states to rebel against the Federal government.

From the main source for the uncovered videos and documents, DataRepublican, “You’ve heard that the DSA is proposing structural reforms to America, including abolishing the Senate and imposing term limits.

“What you not have heard is – there is an operational plan to put it all into action. If the Democratic Party sweeps 2026, then DSA will become ‘foot soldiers”’ in constant clashes with the administration to cross a ‘red line’ or invoke a ‘doomsday scenario’ – meaning, President Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, probably sometime in 2027.”

  1. GOP HANDS AI GOVERNANCE OVER TO CALIFORNIA – Because the Republican-controlled national legislature failed to pass a measure to block them, California is set to be the definer of AI standards. Now, Anthropic is using California’s AI standards to push a national bill forward that could allow their AI agents to work without government intervention unless the high threshold of 50 lives in danger is met.
  2. SUPPORT FOR CRIMINALIZING OFFENSIVE SPEECH SPIKES – Four in 10 U.S. students support criminal prosecution of “offensive speech,” which is up 7 points from last year. The survey came from the Buckley Institute. At the same time, 73% of students agreed the Constitution is an important document for the U.S., not an outdated one.
  3. LEFTIST NEWS AGGREGATORS DOMINATE U.S. NEWS – 58% of Americans are getting their “news” from far-left news aggregators that block non-progressive media from being seen. These four far-left news aggregators are run by progressive-controlled corporations aligned with the Democratic Party. The four aggregators are Apple News, Google News, Yahoo News, and Microsoft’s MSM.
  4. IDAHO PROPOSITION WOULD ALLOW MINORS TO CONSENT TO ABORTION – Despite what the ACLU has been saying about Idaho’s Proposition 1, critics counter that it does, in fact, allow minor children to consent to abortions without parental notice. The proposition, if passed, would remove limits on abortion and effectively allow children to have abortions without parental consent.
  5. BELGIUM’S EUTHANASIA EXPLODES – Over 1,100 people have been euthanized by Belgian authorities for ailments that are not immediately terminal. In 2025, euthanasia deaths jumped 12.4% from last year. They accounted for 4% of all national deaths.
  6. WOMEN IN INDIA STERILIZED TO WORK SUGARCANE FIELDS – With little opportunity outside of working sugarcane fields, hundreds of thousands of women in India choose to have their wombs removed to stop having periods. They do this to ensure they don’t miss workdays.

One woman described what they must endure: “We never have a day off. Once we arrive here, it’s constant work every single day for the next four to five months. Even removing my own uterus requires taking on debt. It feels like my body itself has become a slave to the system.”

PEOPLE ADVANCE

  1. SOCIAL SECURITY TO GET RECORD CLEANUP AFFECTING 50 MILLION RECORDS – The Social Security Administration (SSA) has identified 50 million Social Security records that have inaccurate or fraudulent information. They’ve begun a massive database cleanup of Social Security records, which is intended to dramatically reduce fraud. This is the largest cleanup operation in the history of the SSA.
  2. SCOTUS AFFIRMS TRUMP’S RIGHT TO FIRE FEDERAL EMPLOYEES – A challenge to President Trump firing of a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) member was dismissed by the Supreme Court. Gwynne Wilcox, a progressive, was fired by President Trump. She sued to get her job back.
  3. JUDGE NIXES PROGRESSIVE ASSAULT ON NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION INTEGRITY – The progressives were hoping to use Judgefare to loosen absentee ballot laws in North Carolina. Their efforts were halted by U.S. District Judge Thomas Shroeder, who threw their lawsuit out.
  4. EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT RUNS OUT OF PATIENCE WITH ISLAM – The European Parliament has passed a resolution condemning the Muslim Brotherhood and calling on action to be taken against Islamists in Europe. French European Parliament member Céline Imart said of the passage, “This is a historic victory because it is a European first.”
  5. WALLPAPER ELECTRIC POWER? – Researchers from New York’s Binghamton University have developed a wallpaper that generates electricity from the air. The technology is called Moist-electric generators, which have existed for years, but are now closer to becoming practical.

FINAL THOUGHT – October 23, 2026

By Bill Collier, Editor

“The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.

“To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.

“To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.” – Douglas Adams, from The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

“Elections belong to the people. It’s their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters.” – Abraham Lincoln

I have very low expectations for voting. I doubt the integrity of our elections, but when I vote I make my own statement. Often, it is just a rebuke of the other side. It is rarely an endorsement of the ones I am voting for.

People will vote Democrat or Republican in a couple of weeks for their own reasons; many are very parochial. That is the nature of voting: it costs nothing but a little time, so you don’t really have any expectations.

My focus is Bill of Rights freedom, as I understand it, because you can only focus on things as you understand them. I assess that the Democrats are more problematic for the Bill of Rights than the GOP, but I don’t have any delusions that the GOP are champions of the Bill of Rights, especially as I understand them and apply them to how I treat others.

I want to rebuke Democrats now because they are, as a party, doing things I believe violate the spirit of what Bill of Rights freedom SHOULD mean.

This does not mean that I like the other side or don’t see problematic behavior there as well. It just means that my calculus is based on my priority and my understanding of Bill of Rights Freedom. I have supported Democrats in the past. For instance, I would vote for Senator Fetterman unless an excellent Republican ran against him, because I think he holds a line for freedom that I can live with.

Voting is not a waste of time because it rarely takes much time, so if your vote disappoints you, you haven’t spent anything on it anyway. So why not just vote?

Some say, “voting legitimizes the system!” In my estimation, it does not. I can hold that a system is corrupt, but if that system gives me the lightest whiff of power to influence a small part of that system, I will take the opportunity. I will be content that I used all in my hand to advocate for a Bill of Rights America. I will not, however, be content with such little power.

This midterm election, I will be voting straight Republican just to tell the Democrats that their approach to Bill of Rights Freedom is not something I can live with.

If you still feel that voting isn’t for you, then so be it. I won’t judge your motives or intent if you extend the same courtesy to me. Not voting is not more or less morally good than voting. What matters is being true to your own true north in how you use or don’t use that power.

As for my predictions, Republicans will probably lose.

The wrinkle in this dynamic are the recent reports of self-confessed fake polls.

If Trump’s party loses the House and Senate, it will be a fascinating time to behold because, while his party is marking time from election to election, the other side is playing for keeps. I fully expect hard, unprecedented action by the Democrats should they win.

Trump has not been able to install a spine into his own team. Their lackluster performances and overly cautious approaches will probably turn many away. I fear a lot will conclude that it’s not worth voting for a party that sees little urgency in the midterm elections

I’ll be voting straight Republican, but I think if Trump faces bloodthirsty democrats in charge of the U.S. House and Senate, it will get VERY ugly between them. Their goal will be to tie him down, prevent him from doing anything, and finally run against this “failure” in 2028 with the hope of sweeping it all, to fully consolidate power and usher in the progressive state.

Most voters don’t think for two seconds about the ideological, spiritual, or philosophical foundations of the other party.  They also don’t take warnings about them too seriously, even if the warnings are legitimate.

This isn’t because they are unintelligent; they are not. It’s because they keep hearing these fears over and over and over, and nothing, to them, changes. It’s the classic “boy who calls wolf too many times” syndrome, and I fear it will help the Democrats greatly.

Popular online influencers chasing clicks, likes, and superchats constantly hype and sensationalize, to the benefit of their online careers, but to the detriment of truthful aggregate understanding.

I don’t know how many times I’ve seen “The Democrats are destroyed,” or words to that effect, in shocking fonts on YouTube thumbnails with hyped emotional faces, all just to build personal empires at the detriment of the republic they allegedly hope to defend.

I think it is more probable than not that the GOP gets a shellacking. Some will say it’s Trump’s fault, and sure, he is the President after all.

I think, however, it’s mostly on Thune and the whole top-tier leadership of the Party, a leadership that cannot and will not play as hard as the other side. When they do play hard, it’s often for things most people don’t care about and at least half absolutely hate. When they go after their own, they play hard as well.

While Trump has been tone-deaf on the Epstein Files, AI Data Centers, and even the Iran War, none of that would be an existential harm were it not for the fecklessness (seemingly intentional, probably intentional) of the GOP leadership, who failed to pass his agenda and convert his executive orders into law.

Trump’s chaotic style, ego, impetuosity, and ribald venom don’t help. His constant shifting around on Iran and Ukraine, frankly, sends mixed signals and peels off supporters.

The Democrats, however, are even worse. They are also chaos lords, shrill, often using lies and exaggerations even more than Trump does. The difference is they are on-brand and affirmed by the progressive state press.

To progressives, like Islamists, lying to advance your kingdom is not only acceptable; it’s morally necessary. To conservatives, lying to advance your kingdom invalidates your kingdom.

Trump is both off-brand to his own party and vilified daily by the same press that is aggressively and illegally protecting the Democrats.

People who thrive on chaos, drama, and hyperbolic reactions lean sharply left. But the people who would lean center-right, center-left (not hard left or partisan Democrat), and centrist specifically don’t want that behavior in their politics.

As for me, as a Christian, I find the left to be violently anti-Christian right now. While the candidates themselves attack Christianity almost daily, the progressive state press conceals their rants, leaving most Americans oblivious to the anti-Christian party they are voting for.

They are not voting for their anti-Christian agenda, but because they believe they will see their gas prices go down with a new party majority in the legislature. The unaffordability narrative is what they are voting for, not Talarico declaring God is non-binary.

I find the Democrats who run California to be in severe violation of basic Bill of Rights freedoms. I am concerned that the people in this land and their leaders have turned from God and are reaping those fruits

I get frustrated that I have to deal with those consequences myself when I have always opposed the things that caused them, progressive policies and conservative fecklessness.

Our “choice” is not an ideal American one. One side, the GOP, is slowing the decline away from freedom, but at this moment, with some exceptions, the Democrats are speed-running the dismantling of the Bill of Rights.

No matter why they might win, the Democrats will celebrate their win and think people voted FOR their pro-Political Islamism, “transing” kids, and other more extreme policies. Yet their party is running on unaffordability, not cutting off the breasts of little girls (their true policies).

All the voters seem to want is cheaper gas, not progressive sharia. The GOP elitists will think if only Trump was as feckless as they are, they could have won. It will only embolden their efforts to sabotage Trump, even at the cost of the republic, since the republic was never their concern.

They work to preserve power within the progressive state, nothing more. They are willing vassals of progressive power, not Americans at all.

I believe that even if the Democrats win, this isn’t the end of our story. Eventually, things will turn around because strong Americans will come along, but not from the Democrats, and probably not the Republicans. The people may just get sick of them both and find a new party to get behind.

As an amateur historian, it’s an interesting time to be alive, but I’d rather just be reading about it.

By Paul Gordon Collier, Editor

“All these curses shall come upon you and pursue you and overtake you till you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes that he commanded you….

“Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joyfulness and gladness of heart, because of the abundance of all things, therefore you shall serve your enemies whom the Lord will send against you, in hunger and thirst, in nakedness, and lacking everything. And he will put a yoke of iron on your neck until he has destroyed you.” – Deuteronomy 28:45,47-48

ED. NOTE: We are working on a report on the Immigrant crisis in Europe which we hoped to have completed this week.

In the course of our research, we have discovered that the narratives around the three bellwether European countries we are using for this report are being buried by search engines that assure only progressive state media shows up in current news search results.

Even when prompting AI to present data outside of the progressive state press, not one major AI deployed could comply. Even when we provided them with a list of websites that we use for news aggregate analysis, the AI could still not produce research results outside of the progressive state press.

A couple of websites, like Breitbart and PJ Media, made it into the aggregation analysis process because they are some of the very few non-progressive sites that show up in current news searches.

Without AI, the research process is considerably more time-consuming than with it. In order for us to have a more complete picture of views on the planvasion, it will take us a lot more time than we previously thought, therefore we are offering here a scaled down version of what the final report will be.

We are in the process of building AI bots that will regularly search websites outside the progressive state press to assure we get current news research results not so overwhelmingly dominated by progressive talking points.

This discovery has expanded the scope of our research as we seek to understand how effective, through the use of progressive-controlled search engines and AI agents, the progressive state press is at protecting the narrative and creating violent responses to those outside the progressive orthodoxy.

INTRODUCTION

This report will effectively serve here as the introduction to the final comprehensive report to come.

This week, the planvasion of Europe is no doubt the bellwether story not just of this week, but of the month so far. So, we feel compelled to cover this story, at least in part, in this issue.

We believe the planvasion strategies of the progressives, in alignment with the bulk of their replacement partners, the Islamists, are intended to dismantle the notion of the local, individual nation-state in favor of the one ecumenical nation-state both ideologies believe they need in order to bring heaven on earth.

What we’ve seen this past month so far has only solidified that assumption.

This report is intended to give you a snapshot view of the most recent consequences of governments paying people opposed to western civilization rule of law to invade their country. These countries do this while passing laws criminalizing dissent not only of the planvasion, but of the violent Islamists they’re importing to do their self-sabotaging work.

This month’s MIA will be a special issue focused on the 2026 election, so we won’t be covering this planvasion then. The next issue, November 6, will feature our comprehensive report on the planvasion of Europe. This most likely will be a two-part report (published in the same issue), possibly three parts.

We will provide a comprehensive analysis of the 2026 Midterm election results in the November 13 issue of MIA. We will cover the basic results of the election in the November 6 issue.

By the time of the scheduled publishing of the comprehensive report, we will update the current status of our bellwether countries, the UK, France, and Spain.

We chose these three countries because all three were once Christian countries, and all three are now dominated by progressives, all of which have the same dream, of eliminating all nation-states but one, the ecumenical progressive state.

Their street fighters, their fighting aged men, ALSO want to eliminate all nation-states and create one ecumenical state, only their state is an Islamic caliphate. They both approve murder as a means of advancing their kingdoms. They both approve forcing conversion through violence, and killing, or at least imprisoning, those who refuse to convert.

But the Islamists are not progressives, they are theocrats who derive their “wisdom” from a received source, the Quran, the Tafsirs, and the approved Hadiths. They don’t develop wisdom from material and rational understanding, like the progressives claim they do; they develop an understanding of a wisdom sent to them from Allah.

That fact is making even some progressive hedge their bets on the street fighter army, with concerns they may be overcome themselves by the beast they brought in to finish off non-ecumenical nation-statism.

Here are the key events in our three bellwether countries that crystalize the phenomenon happening across Europe, in varying degrees, from Sweden to German, from Denmark to Italy.

A. THE BRITISH INVASION

We reported in June of this year: “If Northern Ireland is a bellwether of what’s to come in broader Britian, the ordered protests in front of police stations are about to be replaced with organized targeted assaults on migrant strongholds.”

This was referring to a series of violent actions by the native Irish targeting immigrant housing and government authority responsible for protecting and bringing in fighting aged men from countries that hate their culture and their ways.

Since then, lenient sentences against Islamist immigrants in contrast to draconian ones against British citizens have only pushed the perceived existential distance between the natives and the government-sponsored imports. While pedophile rapists get light sentences, British citizens are being arrested for denying that a man cannot “choose” to become a woman.

British citizens are now attempting to meet the boats of fighting aged men at the shores and preventing them from landing. The British police appear in numerous viral videos beating on the British natives while they escort the government-funded fighting aged men into their government-funded housing (which is often far better than what many British citizens have).

Heads of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are threatening to secede from the Union because of fears the “far right” may take the helm of 10 Downing Street. For these leaders, England is still too English, and they don’t want to be part of a nation that protects the English from being overrun by foreigners who hate their culture, their values, and their God.

Piddington, a small community in Oxfordshire, England, held a symbolic referendum to begin the process of seceding from a Union that wants to pay an invader army to overcome it with child rape and Islamist sectarian violence.

The recent handling of terrorist suspects attempting to bomb U.S. assets on a British air base may further embolden Islamist radicals from within, especially Iranian ones.

The bellwether event of the past month is the recent “protest” by Islamists in London on the 3rd anniversary of the October 7 slaughter of Israeli women and children by Hamas. The crowds waved Hamas flags and chanted death threat to the Jews and the Israeli state. This was not deemed hate speech by the progressive British government.

As these Islamists and their progressive supporters flooded the streets of the British Islamist capital, London, a man in Ireland was being arrested for refusing to call men women. The native  man will go to prison, the supporters of a genocidal death cult, Hamas, were feted by the progressive state press. None of them were arrested for hate speech violations.

B. FRENCH “STUDENTS”

We reported on October 3 of this year that multiple riots broke out across France, triggered by immigrants demanding more resources for the schools they don’t pay for. The Islamist immigrants have taken to the streets to burn churches, people, and businesses, as well as assault French women who are caught in the mob rush.

French progressives, aligned with Islamists, are assisting the insurrection. The Islamists are also demanding all calls to deport them be cancelled, or the beatings will continue.

As near as we can figure out, the movement began in Mid-September with peaceful protests mostly composed of French native youth. They were asking for better conditions and resources in the state’s public school system.

The protests quickly turned violent, being taken over by opportunist Islamists and progressives. Yet even as that shift occurred, the progressive state media continued to claim this was a student-led protest about school resources.

From October 5-6, the largest days of riots and protests occurred so far. This was coordinated between the original French student protest organizers, the radical anti-French progressives, and the Islamists. It was called the “National Day of Action.”

Let us remember “action” is a short term for “direct action,” and “direct action” is a dog whistle for direct violence.

French officials, including the Prime Minister, Sébastien Lecornu , continued (and are continuing) to call this “Student protests,” despite numerous viral videos showing Islamists and Progressive adults engaging in violent action against French citizens and French businesses.

A school shooting by a 14-year-old that left his headmaster, and another teacher, injured has expanded the violent reach of the growing “movement.” The identity of the 14-year-old hasn’t been released as of the completion of this report.

The response from French authorities seems to be to blame the violence on misinformation online, not the invasion of the country by fighting aged men sponsored by your taxes. The authorities are indicating they intend on using this crisis to push for more censorship of dissent from the progressive orthodoxy.

Minister of National Education Édouard Geffray said “This unacceptable act bears witness once again to the spread of unbridled violence in our society, against which we must all mobilize. In words as in deeds.”

Now, Greta Thunberg has joined the fight against French identity. The riots have spread to Belgium, and even Macron has begun to acknowledge that “student protests” may have political elements exploiting their movement to their own ends.

C. CEUTA, SPAIN

In January 2026, Spain announced effective amnesty for anyone who entered the country before late 2025. They also had to show they were here for five months and in good standing with the authorities. The plan claimed it would create amnesty for only 500,000 people, but that quickly exploded to 1.2 million by the end of June.

In late June, Spain announced another change in its immigration policy. No immigrant would be admitted by sea unless they came through Ceuta or Melilla. People illegally entering the country by land would be “regularized,” while people who came by sea would have to do it “legally.”

On the last two days of June more than 50,000 people, mostly Moroccan Muslim “fighting age” men, came flooding into Ceuta, where battles between the natives and the fighting age men broke out. Spanish police mostly protected the fighting age men, though there was some pushback by the police against them.

Since that moment, the “right” in Spain has been gaining more on-the-ground power with protests continuing even as this report is being written. Fights between fighting aged men and natives have not let up, and the Spanish police continue to mostly protect the fighting aged men.

The upheaval has triggered a snap election from Spain’s Prime Minister. We wrote last week:

More and more Spaniards are joining the growing national protests against Spain’s policies of open borders and the state-financed invasion by Islamists intending to destroy their national identity. The pressure is mounting on the regime in power, the progressives under their current Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, who rule thanks to a coalition of leftists.

His own party fared worse than the pro-Spanish party in the last election (which finished first but was kept out of power by the far-left coalition). Now, Sanchez must call a Snap election before any hope of winning another election (if he even makes it to that point) dies as the resistance to his Spain-hating policies grows.

SUMMARY

It is clear and obvious at this point that the “replacement” conspiracy in white western countries is real. Outside of the diehard progressives and the Islamists benefiting from this planvasion, more and more regular citizens are being confronted with the violent reality of the planvasion.

With each raped daughter, with each arrested family member who dissented against the planvasion and its invaders, more and more non-politically active people are finding it increasingly difficult not to notice the replacement conspiracy at work in their daily lives.

I will grant you that the “replacement” conspiracy has been used by real ethnic fascistic nationalists, but that’s been to the help of the planvasion plotters, not to their detriment. It has always been obvious to anyone not wed to the notion that the strong should inherently suffer at the hands of the weak (social justice) that the strategy has always been about importing humans not formed by western, free speech values.

What they seek to import are street fighters and future citizens fully on board with murdering dissent. What they may be miscalculating is their ability to not become one of the murdered dissenters.

The progressives behind this don’t hate the white race; after all, most of them are white. What they hate are human beings that are formed by a sense of liberty entitlement. Western-raised humans grow up expecting limits on state power, especially when it comes to belief. Getting western peoples to voluntarily surrender this sense of entitlement is a lot more difficult than simply importing enough non-western raised peoples whose children would not inherit the traditions of the west.

In other words, they’ll be raised Islamist, not American or British, etc.

The white devil narrative, which is worldwide wherever progressives hold power, gives the progressive a justification for lying to their own white citizens while they knowingly import people intended to destroy their way of life. The white devil narrative is why progressive judges let child rapist immigrants go free.

If we were not so gradually inured to this white hate, we would never empower a people that hate their own white citizens to govern them. Yet, white progressives do this every day, worldwide, wherever and whenever they can.

For progressives and Islamists alike, lying to bring heaven on earth is justified by the belief it will bring heaven on earth.

To the progressive, the criminal who rapes is a righteous judgment on majority power. Let the majority power suffer the consequences of their own oppressive ways, the criminals they produce. To the progressive, all advantaged power that is not theirs is oppressive in and of itself.

The only way to free the white devil, the advantaged power, from his own tyrannical spirit is by allowing immigrants to murder and rape them. This is not hyperbole. This is how progressives regularly speak, especially in halls of academia, their base of power.

Rousseau may have justified chains to make you free, progressives of today justify murder to make you free.

If you rape a child, the right child, a white child, and you do it in the name of any god by Christ, you are a policeman inflicting righteous punishment on an unrighteous people. You go free.

If the child dies, the child dies. For the sake of heaven on earth here and now, who is not afraid to allow their neighbors to be raped and murdered by people better than yourselves?

To progressives and Islamists, to declare this is a planvasion intended to destroy nation-states, Christianity, and even parental rights, is a criminal act that should be violently enforced. The progressive in Europe (and America) would like to immediately execute you, but they haven’t fully killed the western sense of liberty entitlement just yet. Their Islamist allies have no such hesitation wherever they hold civic power. The penalty for dissent is death.

Thought is criminal, murder and theft of the white race is not.

In France, the UK, and Spain, the progressive state press has lost its hold on the minds of the man in the street, the native man in the street. The clear daily demonstrations of the replacement plan in action in their lives is no longer refutable, no matter how much the press equates clear evidence of a planvasion with dog whistles for white supremacists.

These three countries are the bellwethers for many other countries, including our own, that allow foreign non-tolerant ideologies to fester within them, ideologies like progressivism and Islamism, both of which existentially oppose the self-stewarded individual, the person who could openly, freely reject their god and still thrive in the public institutions of the land if their merit allows it.

Both ideologies want to kill the republic of letters, the western ideal, and reinstate the ancient ideal of absolute rule by god-like authority.

What happens over the next 6 months will go a long way in determining, at least in Europe, if the ecumenical nation-state model can finally overcome and vanquish the local nation-state model. Shall the west be one progressive state or continue to be many nation-states that do not empower the state to murder dissent? We are about to find out.

“I see it all the time, that when Trump’s on the ballot, they win. When he’s out of the ballot, the people don’t go to vote, and I’m asking the people … to get out and vote. Pretend I’m on the ballot.” – Donald Trump on the Midterm Elections, August 27, 2026

In the U.S., mid-terms almost always go hard against the incumbent President’s party. To overcome that you have to do extraordinary things, and you genuinely have to appeal to a decent majority of voters.

In a country with a fairly even split by party affiliation, where party is sadly becoming part of people’s identity, that means mid-terms are hardly winnable for the party in power unless it does something spectacular.

What’s amazing is how neither party gets this.

They win everything with a strong Presidential election year victory then they essentially give lip service to their supporters and “phone it in.”

I wouldn’t accuse Trump of phoning it in, although I would argue he hasn’t mastered appealing to a solid majority of Americans. While the progressive state press has contributed greatly to his negative image, I believe he has plenty of blame to put directly on himself.

If anyone can overcome the progressive state press bullhorn, it’s the President of the United States. Presidents can bypass the bias against them, they have a bully pulpit, as they say.

The Thune-led GOP Senate has remained paralyzed by their own party leader, who continues to prevent critical Trump policies from passing, especially the SAVE America Act, which would gut progressive election power, even in the midterms had it been passed.

The GOP majority in the House is a slim majority, one that can be overcome with a few dissenting GOP House members. Yet even with that slim majority, Johnson was able to get the SAVE Act passed in the House. Nothing of existential substance has passed the Senate under Thune.

The progressives have been protected by Republican leadership to spite the man they hate more than they love America, Trump.

They also collude with Democrats against Trump because, in fact, the GOP’s shot-callers hate Trump and want to return to the Bush era.

The Democrats will sweep and claim a new mandate, as the Republicans did, and forget that they won, as did the Republicans, not because people positively supported them but because the other party screwed up again.

And the cycle continues, each one plumbing deeper depths of inanity, incompetence, and disregard for the People who elected them.

The Democrats will focus on whatever gives them power and seals their majority forever. This is their dream, to rule the Federal Government like they do the California, with no effective opposition and a perpetual super-majority in the legislature.

The GOP leadership doesn’t recognize the Democrats as the existential threat that they are to the republic, or they are in on it, or they would rather live in a Democrat-controlled state than an American-controlled one.

No matter the reason, the GOP leadership handed the Democrats majority control of the Federal legislature, and they did so with premeditation and malice of forethought.

The Bush GOP never tried to defeat the Democratic Party agenda in toto as the Democratic Party attempts to do to the GOP. The Bush GOP was for globalist corpostate systems which needed this dynamic of competition between the two parties as leverage over them both, in my estimation.

As should be obvious to you, I would never suggest the reason the GOP hasn’t attempted to existentially affect the DNC is because they are the better people; I would suggest to you that the reason they haven’t attempted to existentially affect the DNC is because they have far more in common with them than they do with George Washington.

The GOP leadership and the DNC are trying to consolidate power for a permanent globalist corpostate system that controls both parties, letting voters think they have a choice.

That scheme has been upended by the Frankenstein beast the DNC raised because it needed violent street fighters, the radical progressives and Islamists united through the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America).

Democrats are colluding with foreign powers (including the CCP and Islamists), to consolidate power at the Federal level in the similar manner they did in California. China, global Jihadism, and other wacko totalitarian groups, however, might be looking to replace their original “clients” with people more ideologically aligned and beholden to them than the current progressive leadership is.

All of these people, foreign and domestic, in this progressive state coalition are anathema to Judeo-Christian civilizations. The resistance (the GOP under current leadership), however, are effectively just as much of a threat to our civilization as the progressives are.

Outside of victories through executive orders, almost all that the republicans have delivered to America were viral congressional hearing videos showing republicans “owning” progressives. The “owned” progressives still either have the power they had before the hearing or are just one Presidential executive order from getting it back.

I will be voting GOP because the Democrats want to make the whole of America like California, which is a nightmare to me. They are abominable people whose anti-American work is writ large in the oppressed lives of its victims. This is a state that kidnaps children from their parents for not being allowed to have their breasts or penises cut off.

My vote doesn’t mean I think the GOP will govern better it they win. They will not. But having two competing parties at least prevents the USA from becoming a socialist Jihadist dream for international forces in Iran and China, while most Americans becomes impoverished slaves.

That is what the Democratic Party represents to me, and it is what it represents to anyone who holds to American Rule of Law, that we are endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, none of which can be usurped in the name of “social justice.”

I think the GOP will lose badly because they didn’t find a way to appeal to a solid majority and, despite Trump trying to drive his agenda forward, they phoned it in, as they always do. Even people who loath the Democrats will just stay home.

Low information voters with no awareness about the existential crisis our American republic’s Rule of Law is facing will vote against the party in power if their gas prices are too high. Republicans have done little to frame this election as the existential crisis to the republic that it represents. Not even JD Vance is calling the Democratic Party an illegal insurrectionist operation openly advocating for policies that are constitution killers, even though that is exactly what they are.

What Americans either don’t want to believe or just can’t see is that the Democrats who win in 2026 will not be ones with a little pinkie toe in America. These “Democrats” are openly anti-American and anxious to reboot the whole system for good. I hope and pray that if I am right about a big Democratic victory, I am wrong about who the leadership of that party will be.

If the Democrats win, we continue the road towards upheaval, as they have promised to use their power to persecute their opponents and engage in lawfare against them. Wherever they can, they will use state power to create the precedent that rejecting progressive beliefs, like “the white man invented evil,” is “treason” in and of itself. Reading Romans 1 out loud will be considered an act of terrorism against the state.

Expect less governance and more drama, more hatred and division, more violence, and more economic and lawfare warfare against your rights and your wealth, until they lose, if elections continue in any modicum of fairness, and the cycle repeats.

No person of means, with wealth, time, and influence is trying to break the cycle, run out the Bushites and defeat the Jihadist socialist agenda of the anti-American Democrats once and for all.

Would to God that blue collar Democrats rose up and rooted out all the foreign influence out of their party!

Would to God the Fettermans of the Democratic Party replaced the jihadist socialist vermin taking over.

It is for these reasons I will vote in this midterm election, and it is for these reasons that my only choice is to vote straight republican, come what may. At the very least I will be entering into history my opposition to the rise of the progressive state. I hope you join me in this effort.

A. GLOBAL OUTLOOK

  1. NINE U.S. BANKS DEBANKED DISSENTERS OF THE PROGRESSIVE ORTHODOXY – Nine major U.S. banks have been found to have debanked Americans for holding views not acceptable to the anti-American ideology of progressivism. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) released a report exposing the unconstitutional, and possibly criminal actions.

The nine banks listed were: BMO Bank, Capital One, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase Bank, PNC Bank, TD Bank, U.S. Bank, and Wells Fargo Bank. These debankings happened between 2010 and 2025, meaning they continued after Trump took office.

  1. IS TRUMP DONE WITH ZELENSKY? – President Trump has made it clear that Ukraine’s Prime Minister, Volodymyr Zelensky, is not the man to end the Ukraine War. He has pulled back verbal, and even material support, including scaling back intelligence support for Ukraine. The final straw for Trump came with Zelensky refusing to stop bombing Russian diesel refineries.

To Trump’s recent insistence Ukraine stop bombing Russian diesel refineries, Zelensky responded “The block is out. We’re done.” At home, Zelensky faces numerous allegations of corruption as more and more Ukrainians grow weary of fighting for a country that has no free elections.

  1. OVER HALF A MILLION AMERICANS WERE STALKED BY JACK SMITH – The progressive pit bull special prosecutor Jack Smith was spying on far more than the GOP leadership, including President Trump; he was also spying on over half a million Americans.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley claimed, “This update shows that Jack Smith and the Biden Justice Department collected incredibly invasive donor data — and voter data — beyond what could conceivably be necessary for Smith or his team to fulfill the Special Counsel’s mandate. The new findings further corroborate that Smith and his partisan team aimed to map out the entire Republican Party apparatus.”

  1. BLUE STATES SHOW WHAT’S AT STAKE IN THE 2026 ELECTIONS – While polls continue to show Democrats to be the favorites to win the midterm elections, blue states are showing what progressive rule looks like. Religious liberty is being interpreted in blue states as only being a freedom to worship, not a freedom to outwardly, publicly live out your faith.

From Illinois to New York to California, laws are being passed that are forcing people of faith to participate in abortions, euthanasia, and affirm LGBTQ lifestyles. While “affordability” still appears to be the top issue in this election, “government trust” is a rising issue.

  1. HOUTHI ATTACKS CANNOT BE CONTAINED – The Houthis of Yemen are wreaking havoc on the Red Sea area, and major cities of Saudi Arabia as well. The latest Houthi missile assault struck the Yemeni presidential palace, killing five.

Saudi Arabia’s deputy foreign minister claimed, “Iran continues to arm, train and support the Houthi militia in violation of UN Security Council resolutions. We think that the escalation by the Houthis at this latest stage of the conflict is encouraged by Iran.”

  1. LEGAL SHOWDOWN WITH CALIFORNIA OVER ILLEGAL BALLOTS – The Department of Justice is suing the state of California and calling on 20,000 ballots to be frozen to determine whether U.S. citizens are behind the ballots.

Attorney General Todd Blanche announced, “State-facilitated voter fraud is unacceptable in the United States of America. If found responsible in a court of law, the State of California will have seriously undermined confidence in our electoral system and violated laws that protect our nation’s representative system of government.”

  1. BURNHAM BLAMES RUSSIA FOR BREXIT – UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has telegraphed his next major move, setting up an election with Brexit on the chopping block. He is leading an international effort to paint Britain’s choice to leave the EU as a Russian-manipulated outcome, justifying a revisiting of the question. He accused Russia of meddling not only with the 2026 vote, but with other European elections as well.
  2. OREGON SCHOOL SHOOTING STOPPED BY AMERICAN GUN OWNER – A shooting at an Oregon high school left three children, aged five, eight, and 1l, along with one teacher, dead. The shooter has been identified as John J. Griffin III. The shooter was stopped by a parent with a concealed carry license, saving many lives, but tragically not all lives.
  3. HARVARD PROFESSORS AND ALUMNI ARE AGAINST HIRING CONSERVATIVES – A recent suggestion by Harvard that it should do more to get conservative professors hired was met with stiff resistance from progressive professors. Over 95% of Harvard’s professors are self-identifying progressives.

Progressive alumni joined in the resistance, with one alumnus claiming, “Even supposing that [silencing] takes place, how would the hiring of conservative faculty act as a countervailing force? Surely such hiring may inhibit viewpoint diversity rather than nurture it.” We will leave that statement represent the mind of the progressive in all its incongruity with reality.

  1. AMERICAN UNDERGRADS BECOMING VIOLENT PROGRESSIVES – A new poll from the Buckley Institute claims 45% of American undergrads support violence against “hate speech.” 30% of self-identifying “conservative” undergrads agreed. 22% of undergrads believe America deserved 9/1. Among those who support violence against “hate speech,” 72% say “hate speech” is a constitutionally-protected free speech.

B. HEADLINES MISSED

  1. AI DEBT LOOMING THREAT ON WORLD ECONOMY – The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has issued a warning to global markets about the looming debt in the AI industry. It claims all the major American tech companies are saddled with AI investment bills not met with AI-producing revenues.
  2. ANTHROPIC ANNOUNCES RESTRICTIONS ON BEING MEAN TO ITS AI AGENT, CLAUDE – Anthropic has announced plans to implement a new governance policy for users of its AI agent, Claude. The change of policy would eventually block users from using Claude who are consistently “mean” to Claude.

They claim the rule will be enforced selectively, “only in extreme cases, where users repeatedly act cruelly toward our models, with no discernible purpose.”

  1. CHINA USING AI TO DEFINE “ONLINE HATE” – The People’s Security University of China have developed an AI agent they claim can both identify hate speech (including dog whistling and coding) and the source for the hate. If “successful,” the model is sure to “inspire” similar efforts with like-minded ideologues (mainly progressives).

From bioengineer.og, “Few-shot detection of coded hate speech sits at the intersection of machine learning, computational linguistics, and social science, and this study offers a concrete template for how modern agentic AI techniques can be marshaled against one of its hardest instances.”

  1. CHILD GENDER “THERAPISTS” CONTINUE SHUT-DOWN OPERATIONS UNDER NEW NAMES – When child transgender therapists and operations are shut down from organizations relying on Federal tax dollars, they turn to independent trans zealots to both fund and protect them. The Trump administration is working on identifying shut down operations and following them when they go “independent.”
  2. CHINA ADDS AIR BASE TO “TRAINING” IN LAOS – China has extended its presence in Laos following reports it had set up a training camp inside the country. Now, China appears to have built an air base within Laos as well. Satellite imagery showed Chinese military aircraft leaving from and landing in the region identified as the new air base. Beijing has now claimed the base is to train Laotian pilots to fly Chinese fighters.

C. PEOPLE ADVANCE

  1. SON OF BOLSONARO WINS BRAZIL’S PRESIDENTIAL FIRST ROUND – While his father sits in prison, Flavio Bolsonaro is beating the man who imprisoned him, Lula da Silver, in the first round of Brazil’s Presidential elections. He will face Lula in the final round. Bolsonaro was not the only member of his family to win that night, as four more family members won public office. Two of Flavio’s sons won seats in Brazil’s lower house. The latest polling shows a virtual tie between the two.
  2. ICE UNMASKING STRUCK DOWN BY 9TH – An effort by progressive California to unmask ICE agents in an effort to help their street fighters locate and terrorize (or worse) ICE agents has been struck down by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

From the summary of the ruling, “In sum, if a state law directly regulates the governmental conduct of the United States without congressional authorization, it is void irrespective of whether the regulated activities are essential to federal functions or operations, and irrespective of the degree to which the state law interferes with such functions or operations.”

  1. BRENNAN LAWSUIT DROPPED – Former CIA Director John Brennan will not be able to go forward with his lawsuit against the Trump administration. The lawsuit hoped to force the administration to “preserve records” for his potential defense against potential criminal charges. A Federal Judge threw out the “speculative” lawsuit.
  2. CHRISTIAN-ONLY FRANCHISE CONSTITUTIONAL, COURT RULES – The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled a Christian-only auto repair franchise is not a constitutional violation. The company, Christian Brothers Automotive, only allows self-professing Christians to be franchise owners. There are 300 franchises nationwide.
  3. GREENLAND GOLD COMING AMERICA’S WAY – President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social, “Massive Oil, Gas, and Mineral Exploration is getting ready to begin in our new and beautiful Greenland! There are Experts that are saying that the amount of easily available Oil is far greater than that of almost any land, anywhere in the World and, even more importantly, from a Security Purpose in the Defense and Offense of both the United States of America, and Europe, is second to none. Any future attack on the United States will have to come across Greenland, where our Defense will routinely knock down drones, missiles, or any other form of weapon not yet even conceived. It gives us time, location, and sightline, like nowhere else in the World!”

“You have seen people within Bibi’s cabinet, who have come out and attacked the deal, and in some ways very personally attacked the president of the United States. Number one, Donald J. Trump is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time. And he happens to be the head of state of the world’s superpower.

“If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world. The other thing that I would say is that over the last three months, two thirds of the defensive weapons that have protected your homeland, have been built by American hands and paid for by American tax dollars. The problem for Israel is not Donald J. Trump. And anybody in Israel who thinks their biggest problem is the president of the United States needs to wake up and smell the reality of the situation that country is in.” – JD Vance responding to Israel’s rejection of the first major Iran Peace Deal

“And I will make boys their princes, and infants shall rule over them. And the people will oppress one another, every one his fellow and every one his neighbor; the youth will be insolent to the elder, and the despised to the honorable.” – Isaiah 3:4-5

JD Vance Supports Political Islamists and Enables Their War Against Christianity, UNINTENTIONALLY

There are three groups that agree about two things: they hate Israel (and the Jews overall), and they also hate the historical Christian faith.

These three groups are Nazis/neo-Nazis, Leftists, and most followers of political Islam. They all agree on those two points, that Jews and Historic Christianity are enemies of humanity. All three are also totalitarian and anti-Christian, but within the Nazi and Leftist groups you will find self-professing “Christians” who are yet more aligned with Islamists than with historic Christianity.

First, the neo-Nazis have a version of Christianity that limits Christ’s saving work to the white race (despite the fact that Christ himself was not white).

Next comes the leftist progressive “Christians” who deny all the core theological and moral orthodoxies of the historical Christian faith. The common enemy is Israel and the historic church. This is the strategy of hell. The third group, political Islam, doesn’t have a Christian front, though they claim to protect Palestinian Christians when it suits their narrative ends.

PUB.NOTE: I support Palestinian Christians and have criticized the Israelis. But especially the Palestinian authority, for violating their rights.

In my opinion, JD Vance, friends with neo-Nazi Tucker Carlson, who I now call Qatarlson because of his open support of Qatar, is flirting with the neo-Nazis (although in his defense he is not a neo-Nazi and he is not an authoritarian in any way).

He is, however, aligning with Neo-Nazis, and could yet end up joining them.

There is no circumstance in which I would vote for a JD Vance, as even the worse leftist would produce the same curses upon our land through their wicked policies as surely as Vance would. Under both, militant political Islam gains power everywhere, and no one, so far (not even MAGA) has recognized the threat.

Vance is an ally of militant Islamists, especially Qatar and Pakistan, even if unintentionally. I do not believe this alignment is coming from a place of hatred for the Israelis and Protestants, but it has the net effect of supporting spirits of hatred for both.

I believe JD Vance thinks we Christians should not influence the government too much, and therefore he feels comfortable aligning with powerful Islamists, perhaps naively believing their disadvantaged power voice will be the same as their advantaged power voice.

I believe he thinks he is truly friends with powerful Muslims who just want peace and happiness born from an adherence to American Rule of Law. Call it stupid, but it is not malicious.

In my opinion, JD Vance is an ally of radical Islamic forces, although he is probably unaware of that fact. For me, this disqualifies him and makes him a bad counselor to the President.

If JD Vance wins in 2028, Israel will not control our foreign policy, as he so unjustly claimed, SINCE THEY NEVER HAVE. They have influenced our foreign policy, and perhaps you could argue they have too much influence, but to make the bald-faced lie that Israel is controlling our foreign policy reveals either a lack of character or integrity in Vance.

It also reveals a lack of care for the consequences of spreading an unfounded truth claim he knows is used every day by violent antisemites to justify systemic violence against the Jews and the state of Israel.

THAT’S a blood libel conspiracy theory tailored to promote genocide against Jews, and certain Christians who support them. If JD Vance wins, Qatar will influence our foreign policy far more than Israel ever has because its paid agents have the most influence in the White House today.

If JD Vance wins, Israel will have an enemy of the Jews who puts his Catholic eschatology (which does not allow for the state of Israel to exist) over logic, reason, and even Christian love.

If I ever was MAGA, JD Vance would be the reason I would disavow the whole thing. I don’t need to do that because there is no MAGA movement (in my opinion), only a cult of personality around Trump, because these people trust him and his leadership. They do not worship him; they only trust him (not that a fringe of MAGA don’t fit into the worship category, though they represent a small minority).

Outside of a vague reference to American Rule of Law and a commitment to put American interests above all other interests, there are no clear statements of principle, or outlining of concrete goals that go beyond Trump’s Presidency.

Without Trump, there is no movement because there is no “manifesto” of principles and goals that guides them, only faith that Trump is a great deal maker and a brilliant strategist, and that he truly loves America.

Their reasons are not unfounded, even if I believe the faith is stronger than the justification for it. You cannot deny that Trump is a force of nature one rarely sees. This fact alone makes it easy for me to understand why people support him so strongly. Trump does love this country, but he’s hardly right about everything.

I think that, without guiding articulated principles and goals which every movement member (from the bottom to the top) is accountable to, the movement dies when the heroic leader fades.

Vance would like to pick up that mantle. He will have to first neutralize the pro Zionists who believe three things Vance does not; that Israel is a key U.S. Ally, that Jews should own and govern their ancient homeland, and that powers like Qatar, Turkey, and Saidi Arabia are no less enemies to our land, and to Christianity, than are Russia, China and Iran.

I am an unapologetic Zionist. I am convinced we are fighting a civilizational war against Islamic civilization in its Caesarism phase (decadence, authoritarianism, and imperialism), while many Muslims, like the UAE, are natural allies against all this.

JD Vance is not a friend to the UAE or the Kurds, who are not political Islamic totalitarians, but he is an ally to Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia who all work to eradicate the presence of Jews, Christians, and purely religious Muslims from the Middle East as precursor to world domination.

This isn’t about the Jews or Israel; they are just in the way. This is about political Islam as an existential threat to every civilization, especially to Christian ones. I support Israel, the UAE, the Kurds, the Assyrians, and Christian Palestinians because their enemy, political Islam, is coming for me next (and in America today is ALREADY coming for us).

Framing this as Israel controlling our foreign policy while your own highest profile supporters are getting rich from political Islam is reprehensible and cannot be excused. JD Vance is no less a friend to Radical Political Islam than Qatar, because Qatar leads him.

IS THIS VINCE’S AIM? Probably not.

He has bought the narrative against Zionism and Israel. He doesn’t see that his allies would take away his freedom in a second when they no longer need him, and they have the power to do so (peace when they have disadvantaged power, war and persecution when they have advantaged power).

His Catholic eschatology makes the existence of Israel a rebuke of the Catholic end-times teachings. His rightful rejection of globalism leads him to reject inordinate foreign influence over American policy.

Israel is hated by globalists because its existence validates ethnic nation-states, and by anti-globalists because of Israel’s perceived influence over American decision-making. Israel, to the anti-globalists, justifies globalism especially because, objectively, prominent Jews overwhelmingly support globalism.

JD Vance has swallowed the “Jews behind every American policy” lie, and thus is predisposed to reject Israel not only because of his Catholic eschatology, but also because of his perception that Israel’s influence on America reinforces globalism.

Also, to be clear, none of these people understand this as a civilizational war, with political Islam as one of the main protagonists. They genuinely believe that if Israel is reduced and Zionism is refuted, this will make for a peaceful coexistence with the “Islamic world.” They do not see this as a civilizational crisis, so they would reject this analysis.

They erroneously believe they can more easily live with Islamists as neighbors than Zionists.

25 years after 9/11, we have still not identified the nature of the war, a civilizational struggle for survival. They have not identified THE main enemy in that war, political Islam. Its alliance with progressives in America, by extension, puts progressives in this same camp, the camp of “Existential threat to the American republic and Christians as a whole.”

They fail to see the 9/11 hijackers as merely the military arm of countries like Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and especially Qatar. To them, these are extremists, not normal fruits of a colonizing imperialistic religion of violence, a religion of conversion through murder.

A former Al Qaeda head runs Syria now, and both Vance and Trump support him while he murders Christians and plots more assaults against the West. This may be the reason God punishes this administration, frankly, until they repent of being allies with hell’s agents in Doha, although I consider foolish leaders to be themselves a judgement against a land.

This is not about JD Vance’s Catholicism, but only about how he CHOOSES to live out his Catholic faith, which is to make eschatology more essential than salvation itself (at least in my opinion), for how else would he support policies and  beliefs that are clearly designed to give legitimacy to real genocide, the genocide of the Jews, which cannot take place until they remove the Jews’ one state-powered safe haven, Israel the state.

For this reason, I will not support JD Vance either in the 2028 primary or the General Election should he choose to run for President.

INTRODUCTION

This Sitrep identifies two growing threats to Americanism, Progressivism and Islam. It is an underlying theme almost everywhere, because “politics” now touches nearly every part of every Americans’ lives, never mind how much it touches the daily lives of others worldwide.

We do not mince words when we describe these groups and their ideological beliefs, especially when it comes to the progressives. We use them because they use them, and now they’re saying these things out loud with increasing boldness.

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?” – Matthew 5:43-46

While we support American civic authority taking criminal action against the progressive state, we also support forgiveness and opportunities for restoration for the vast majority of progressives, and even Islamists, willing to conform to American Rule of Law.

NO MATTER their justification, they must commit to not use violence, corporate or state, as a means of influence to deter wrongthink in the public square.

Those who commit to allowing their beliefs and the institutions, the power, to die through consensually made decisions by their neighbors can exist in the American republic to come. It is only to the most egregious offenders, even among public school teachers who taught white shame to children, that we would recommend criminal action, and only by civic authority, not self-declared ones.

Our faith binds us, we believe, to recognize civic authority as the bellwether of God’s judgment on a land. Outside of the state sending squads to murder us all, we do not “touch God’s anointed,” so we in no way, shape, or form, advocate violence as a means of deterring progressive state authority outside of the support of duly elected American civic authority. Where no American civic authority stands, we will continue our work to be as self-sustaining as possible. Our Hope Estate project will continue.

We believe it is important to speak plainly when you perceive dangerous power is about to ascend. This is the category that we put both Islamism and Progressivism, but from these groups future Americans await to be truly woken. There are “Pauls” among them still.

As Elihu said to Job before he offered harsh words to him, “Answer me, if you can; set your words in order before me; take your stand. Behold, I am toward God as you are; I too was pinched off from a piece of clay. Behold, no fear of me need terrify you; my pressure will not be heavy upon you.” – Job 33:5-7

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Our Situation Reports are an attempt to summarize and analyze the most essential bellwethers of a covered period from a Christian Americanist perspective.

We summarize our Bellwether of the Quarter. We have selected three bellwether trends in U.S. Politics, Geopolitics and Culture. In Sci-Tech, this quarter we are concentrating on AI and social media.

We analyze the market according to the major economic indicators (such as the jobs report) over the course of the three-month period (July-September 2026).

Next is our Agit Prop section, which features 2 bellwether examples of Progressive State Agit Prop in the media from each month this quarter.

We conclude the report with an Assessment, a Recommended Action, and a Predictive Analysis.

Read the full research notes we used to compile this Situation Report.

A. TOP BELLWETHER OF THE QUARTER: THE PROGRESSIVE STATE

As we have outlined in past issues of MIA, the progressive state is seeking to throw off the shackles of the vestiges of their parasitical victim, the American republic. This past quarter we have seen the progressive state more overtly PUBLICLY declaring itself.

It’s done this through its cultural leaders, its politicians in power, its candidates hoping to make the break official, and the de facto state press (the MSM press) which continues, in our view, to violate both insurrectionist laws and campaign advertising laws.

Some states have become more openly progressive wherever the Democratic Party has full control. States such as California, New York, and now Virginia, are just a few of these states now attempting to openly follow progressive rule of law over American rule of law.

Our Bellwether of the Quarter was chosen because of the acceleration of the emergence of the state within the republic this past quarter. As far as openly expressing progressive rule of law standards over American rule of law standards, at the highest levels of government (including and especially the judiciary), this past quarter has exceeded all other past quarters.

The progressive state is ready to become its own story, divorced entirely from the “white supremacist story” they tell about our republic.

We look at four aspects of the progressive state emerging, the spirit of what this new state will be, the power demonstrated wherever the progressive state has the capacity to use government force, the key candidates representing the progressive rule of law nakedly, and how the state media continues to act with minimal consequence in violation of American rule of law.

We use the news tag “Progressive State” on stories involving corporate or government authority led by and represented by progressive ideologues and activists.

  1. THE SPIRIT – If the party of James Talarico consolidates power and forms the progressive state, they will assume their citizens are children who need to be treated like they’re “big kindergartners,” as Covid-19 showed us in spades.

Hasan Piker is the biggest progressive state influencer online today, and he uses his platform to say the quiet parts out loud. He even shouts them. Recently, he told Americans, “I will throw you in prison. I want Chinese-style communism to happen inside of the Democratic Party right now. I want to do cultural revolution sh*t.”

A recent poll revealed a majority of Democrats, most likely, support killing Trump to end his Presidency. The “most likely” part is the fact that 25% of the Democrats polled said they had no opinion, while 31% said they at least somewhat support killing Trump to end his Presidency.

The Democrat Socialists of America are not the fringe of the Democratic Party, they are now the majority, with  more than 59% of Democrats supporting the DSA now.

The DSA’s stated goal is to destroy the American Empire, the republic, from within. The top villain in the DSA is the white devil and his white power vehicle, the American Empire.

For the sake of protecting the non-white from the white devil, college students support much stricter penalties for whites than non-whites when it comes to “hate speech” codes. “Hate speech” codes are progressive rule of law standards, not American ones. No doubt progressive schools and teachers trained these American citizens to reject free speech in favor of progressive-controlled speech.

Progressive Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut confessed on a recent podcast that Democrats in power will pass internet “hate speech” and “misinformation” regulations to assure America cannot back a “demagogue” like Donald J. Trump “ever again.”

  1. THE POWER – In July, Hawaii’s Supreme Court issued a ruling that declared the U.S. Supreme Court was invalid because of its white supremacist ruling reversing Roe V Wade. The reversal ended nationwide protection of the murdering of unborn children.

To the progressive state of Hawaii, defending the unborn from murder is a dog whistle of the white devil, and whatever empowers the white devil must be opposed by anyone not wanting to be called a white devil or a white devil supporter (lest they be un-personed or even murdered).

Anthropic AI is run by progressives who represent progressive, not American values. For them, there is no individual, only preferred social groups. They have made it clear where their standards lie when they recently assembled a panel of progressive radical anti-white, anti-heteronormative, anti-Christian, anti-American activists to determine the standards for AI for all of us (if they have their wish).

Where progressives have power, there are no other people but themselves allowed in, especially Americans.

In the progressive state city of Madison, Wisconsin, revolutionary insurgents took over a part of the city. They created a dependency zone called an autonomous zone to disguise how much they rely on Americans to get their daily sustenance, for the Americans that make their snack packs they stole from a white colonist are their sworn enemies.

The city responded by providing the insurgents with bathroom facilities.

Islamists are using progressive vehicles of power to break the American spirit in the land, counting on them to destroy Bill of Rights standards so they can come up from behind and take over once the Americans have fallen.

When Islamists have power, they vote to force Americans to pay reparations to Muslims for the “crime” of being mean to them after 9/11. This happened in the U.S. congress. The progressive state enables the Islamist state, though its center is not nearly as strong as the Islamists center is, and their warriors are not as committed to die as the Islamists are.

The Democrats have shown you what the progressive state offers, making it official DNC policy to support open borders and abolish ICE altogether, permanently. To them, the nation-state is a vehicle of power for the white man, who invented the nation-state. In truth, they support the nation-state still, they just support only one nation-state, a worldwide Empire destroying every nation-state but its own.

They are by far and away the most imperialistic, most nationalistic, most colonizing of all the ideologies with any real power in the world today, save one, Islamism, their “natural” frenemy until the Americans are destroyed. China’s project is the same as theirs, just with the Han race as the beacon of hope for the world, not the generic “poc race” or non-heteronormative people.

If you think our language is hyperbolic, we can assure you, this is the language the progressives use in classrooms every day, from elementary school to post-grad.

  1. PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATES – Texas Senate Progressive Candidate James Talarico was caught on camera confessing his full intentions to create legislation in keeping with progressive state rule of law standards, not American ones.

Not facing any real opposition, progressive congresswoman Rashida Tlaib recently declared “America was built on slavery, genocide, and oppression.” In other words, America is a white devil vehicle of power, therefore, it is not legitimate, it is evil, worthy of violent revolt.

She told her audience, “The political structures that we are surrounded by were built on slavery and genocide and oppression. Look at this room, motherf*kers. We aren’t going anywhere. Now we’re in Congress and every corner of the United States.”

They are not Americans, and she makes that clear: they are progressives, naked and free from the bondages of the corpse they emerged from, the American republic.

Progressive Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed couldn’t even condemn the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. He has been calling himself a capitalist as of late, but nothing in his history suggests he is anything but a radical anti-American Islamist, more than willing to borrow the “white devil” narrative from his progressive frenemies to raise street fighters of his own.

A North Carolina Progressive candidate for the state legislature has openly declared her support and intention to put Trump supporters in concentration camps. Shelly Headen’s campaign slogan is “Running to Restore Human Decency.” You must understand that, to Shelly, non-progressives aren’t human at all.

  1. STATE MEDIA – The MSM press are revolutionary activists consciously seeking to dismantle the American Empire, the republic, from within.

Here are some key examples of the progressive state media’s efforts this past quarter to use agit prop to spread violence and hate against the American people and their republic, from the blogs to the corporate press:

Daily Kos proudly declares America prefers socialists over MAGA, intending that as an own, but so removed from American standards that it is only telling on itself to Americans. It’s saying the quiet part out loud, the “left” is not part of the American project, which rejects state and corporate control of social orthodoxy through violence.

CNN had a townhall with Hasan Piker. Rather than give him a mixed audience who might ask him pointed, direct questions, they filled the audience with progressives and essentially ran an infomercial intending to normalize Hasan and progressive rule of law values in general.

The progressive state project is an international one. While each progressive cell operates within the nation-state it is within, the hope is that the nation-states which fall to the progressives will then become one global progressive state.

The Guardian militantly supports the American progressive state, though it serves the progressive state that has effectively taken over the UK today. A recent headline from the UK branch of the progressive state press connected Trump’s recognition of the “communist menace” from within to “tropes.” In progressive dog whistling, trope is always connected to white supremacist racism.

The message is a dog whistle to progressive street fighters to keep using violence to overthrow the republic. It is also an attempt to shame anyone daring to publicly identify the actual communists now openly running for (and winning) political power in America today.

When President Trump gave his Election Fraud speech, CBS gave it brief coverage, ABC and NBC refused to cover it at all. Every single network mentioned, along with every major progressive state player, has been pushing the lie that there is no fraud in elections, and mass mailer elections are the safest form of voting.

They add to that the message, sometimes through implication, sometimes directly, that only evil people like “right wingers” and “fascists” believe such “lies.”

The President’s speech may not have delivered a “smoking gun” to those who don’t want to see the reality of the lack of integrity of mass mailer voting and digital voting, but to those who understand the inherent lack of integrity in both systems, there was plenty there for an American press to investigate and expose.

They chose to deny and demonize the opinion that mass mailer and digital voting are inherently anti-integrity based, and intentionally so.

  1. SUMMARY – This quarter, those who do not see the progressive state before our very eyes are already its citizens. What remains to be seen is how many Americans are left, how many of those with one foot in the progressive value system and one foot in the American one will pull out and return fully to the American republic. Lastly, we have yet to discover how many true progressive state citizens there actually are.

B. U.S. POLITICS

In U.S. Politics, we chose the 2026 Elections, Judgefare, and Trump Deportations as our Bellwether Trends. Be sure to read our October 30, 2026, issue of MIA, where we will provide a special thorough look at the midterm elections.

The 2026 midterm elections are just about here, and that trend has dominated nearly every month this quarter. The increased boldness of progressive judges’ rulings is making the division between American and Progressive Rule of Law more and more apparent.

The progressives haven’t given up their hope of ending white dominance and American standards in these lands. Their lawyers, DAs, and judges are ratcheting up their efforts to slow down the deportations of their hoped-for future progressive state citizens, a people conditioned to rely more on the state than themselves for their definitions of happiness.

What the progressive fails to understand is white dominance means nothing to Americans, what matters is rule of law, which should be color-blind. We Americans are united by our commitment to recognize the inherent right of our peaceful neighbors to pursue their own happiness without government or corporate intrusion.

We would rather live in a non-white dominated land that adheres to American rule of law than a white-dominated land which doesn’t.

Black Americans are better neighbors than White Progressives. The “American” part makes anyone, regardless of race, a good neighbor.

The “Progressive” part makes anyone, regardless of race, a dangerous neighbor. The progressive threatens your very self-agency with a moral imperative to use violence against you (called Direct Action) if you fail to comply to their orthodoxy. This is not hyperbole; this is the spirit of the average citizen of the progressive state.

  1. 2026 ELECTIONS – As we go into the midterms this first week of November, President Donald Trump is finding himself reaching rock bottom (so far) in the opinion polls. On the generic ballot, the Democrats lead the Republicans by double digits.

Going into the election, the Democrats are normalizing the rise of the Socialists in their party, with Gavin Newsom inadvertently confessing the party’s platform would be changed to come closer to the DSA’s.

In the House, the Democrats must win 57 out of the 77 competitive races in order to win a majority.

The primaries witnessed the rise of the Democratic Socialists and Islamists within the Democratic Party, a party that is now openly embracing “socialism.”

SCOTUS officially made this a mass mailer election wherever Progressives rule. This followed the earlier ruling that allowed mass mailer ballots to be counted AFTER the election. This means those slow-drip elections that make manufacturing votes so easy are sure to continue, now “constitutionally” (at least in the progressive state, not in the American republic).

On the gerrymandering front, SCOTUS would deliver a U.S. House Progressive state hold when it effectively ruled the general election would be conducted by Missouri’s 2022 district map, even though the primaries were held with the 2025 district map. Their ruling assumed timeliness trumped basic election security and integrity.

AI governance and Data Centers have become the central driver in a number of races. We wrote about how these issues are drowning out the existential rule of law standards at stake in the midterm elections.

While the Democrats use the AI devil as a tool to distract from the radical shift in governance their party now represents, they also use government power to assure no effective safeguards at the national level takes place. They recently nixed a bill-by-consent that would have put a check on AI data center power by empowering state regulators to apply more rigorous energy demand standards.

The tactics of the Progressives are now obvious, to pretend to be moderate Democrats as opposed to what they actually are, anti-capitalist, anti-white, anti-Christian, and anti-American.

They hope to use the sheep in wolves clothing tactic, coupled with the demagoguery of the AI devil, to win rural voters over.

  1. JUDGEFARE – The list of rulings against President Trump exploded this quarter. It started with a ruling by an Obama judge that not only cancelled an IRS settlement with President Trump, it also started a process of barfare against DOJ attorneys. From preventing efforts to check voter rolls and ending mass mailer ballot elections, all levels of the Federal judiciary have been busy striking down Trump policies.

Ending DEI is somehow a constitutional problem for progressive judges. The rulings are almost always “procedural” or opinion based, such as assuming the judge knows better than the President what constitutes a security issue or deciding their preferred group’s special privilege trumps American security, and even sovereignty.

Perhaps the most egregious ruling came when SCOTUS somehow found a way to make it easy for America’s enemies to conquer her by having babies on her soil. Samuel Alito, an American justice, wrote in dissent of the ruling, “American citizenship, the court says, was based on a medieval English ‘feudal’ principle, according to which each person ‘owed personal service to the lord of the soil’ as his ‘master’—a perpetual servitude that was ‘born with the child and only ended in the grave.’”

In other words, the Roberts majority had to pretend American rule of law was based on the divine right of kings, not the Declaration of Independence, that we have no King for We are the government. As Alito noted, this ruling came just a couple days before the 250th anniversary of a republic born in resistance to the divine right of Kings.

It should be noted that Britian itself departed the divine right of Kings standard with the ascension of William and Mary, who ruled as protectors of a state church, whose voluntary membership served as the real justification for state rule, the approval of the people. Roberts skipped history class the day they taught about the Glorious Revolution.

We wrote about this in Part 4 of our Transitions series, England’s Death of the Divine Right of Kings.

Shortly after this ruling. A Texas Hospital was caught selling American birthright citizenship plans to foreigners, with CCP members ready to buy.

Progressives have all-but completely taken over most of the major judiciary institutions, from law schools to bar associations. They organize behind closed doors to affect lawfare strategies to target people which, in their eyes, are criminals by their very being, white supremacists and their white supremacist allies.

At this point, we are thoroughly convinced they truly believe the white devil lie, and to them, everyone not speaking progressive is dog whistling white supremacism. This is not hyperbole. This is observed reality.

This is why it is so easy for judges and prosecutors alike to knowingly violate American rule of law. It is justified because they are protecting the people from something even worse than Hitler, the American.

Jack Smith’s work might very well be the pattern seen from local to federal levels, wherever progressive prosecutors reign. The tactics are easy to duplicate when the judges are in on the game, which was a problem for Smith, who ran across an American judge.

American Senator Chuck Grassley accused the progressives of nearly destroying our republic, claiming, “The previous Democrat administrations under Obama and Biden conducted secret, insidious and downright evil operations that almost took down our government. That’s arguably worse than Watergate.”

The progressive effort to murder the republic continues.

  1. TRUMP DEPORTATIONS – On one hand, the GOP is pushing to codify President Trump’s deportation efforts, but on the other, an increasing number of Republicans in toss-up districts are calling on “moderation” in deportation.

They do so as it becomes increasingly clear the Biden imports were targeted to disrupt white rural and suburban communities. Wherever white majorities exist, there is a problem that only people from cultures and nations that oppose our American way of life can solve.

That last part is the most essential part, for where there are non-whites who embrace Americanism, there is no compassion to make them American citizens. There is no great hue and cry from the progressives to welcome Nigerian Christians, who are being murdered by Islamists, because these non-whites would be predisposed to favor Americanism over Progressivism.

We would prefer these “immigrants” over the white progressives born here.

The white devil is the justification to murder their true targets, the Christian church and the American republic.

Those rescuers of white majority-ism, Biden’s imports (as we are calling this massive influx of illegal aliens under Biden) triggered national housing costs to rise by more than 30%.

Representative Brandon Gill flat-out accused the Democrats of using Biden’s imports as a “path to political power,” and they were (and still hope to), through making them permanent progressive state voters.

SCOTUS helped Trump with a ruling that allows the President to deport Biden’s imports to third countries, but the progressive district justices, mostly Biden committee-appointed judges, have been consistently striking down every effort to remove illegal aliens from American lands.

Progressive lawyers and prosecutors are also willing to bend every American rule of law standard in preference to the rescuers from white majority-ism, including letting out convicted child rapists.

To the progressive, being unapologetically white is worse than murdering and raping children, especially white children.

Every time there is an incident involving an ICE officer harming a protestor or illegal alien, professional progressive street fighters march in to physically intimidate any and all, wherever and whenever they can. Wherever the law allows it, violence is executed, in the form of direct assaults on ICE agents, destroying property, or assaulting Americans who dare stand up to them.

Where progressives have state power, every effort is made to hamper, impede, and harm ICE agents by any means which their progressive judges will brazenly allow.

C. GEOPOLITICS

Our three geopolitical bellwethers are obvious ones, China, Iran, and the UK. With China, the U.S. is currently engaged in a geopolitical struggle both to secure cheap and effective AI resources and prevent the other from doing the same. At home, China is fully engaged in helping the progressive state activists create instability and slow down American AI development.

Iran is the major battle in the geopolitical AI war, with this quarter seeing the regime bolstered mostly by progressive state agit prop. While the U.S. has failed to finish off the regime, its hold on power is becoming increasingly tenuous as economic collapse only accelerates from within.

The UK continues its slide into oblivion as its identity dissolves into the progressive state led by its unelected Prime Minister, Andy Burnham. It serves as a bellwether for what it’s like to live under progressive state rule. It might also serve as a bellwether for what might be done to topple that state, should the British natives successfully offer a counter-revolutionary response to their colonization by the progressive state.

On our radar is an emerging trade conflict in the Caspian Sea, with all the major powers coming to a potential head over trade route access. The AI Wars are making secured trade routes vital, but that’s not enough. The AI Wars are also making it vital for you to make your competition’s trade routes as un-secured as possible.

We are also watching Islamist and progressive violence spreading across European nations like France and Spain. Expect a Deep Dive soon on the state of Progressive Islamist Europe.

  1. CHINA WATCH – China appears to be preparing its citizens for a war footing, which might be borne from a genuine concern or a posture for Xi to secure patriotic support.

While Xi continues to conduct government purges from within, his influencers abroad are beating American ones. No doubt the assistance of the progressive state press helps his cause. His frenemy partners in America have helped as much as anyone else at driving world opinion towards China.

China has disrupted American government cyber security and inserted sensitive parts into U.S. voting machines (we presume with progressive compliance). American Progressive state universities have allowed China to set up propaganda centers in their universities.

China’s youth want the false assurance of Maoist control, a spirit cultivated by Chairman Xi’s agit prop in the schools. This happened as China officially became an ethnic nationalist state, the very type of state progressives ALLEGEDLY fear the most.

The meeting at the White House between Chairman Xi and Trump seemed on the surface to yield more for Xi than for Trump. Rumors of Xi’s shaking or failing health only increased during this visit. Allegedly, the President offered to sell China weapons, though that allegation has yet to be confirmed.

China is going all-in on AI, even as its top spy chief warns AI could topple the party. Xi is attempting to create a coalition of AI nations in opposition to the U.S. At this point, nations are sizing up their place in potential coalition pecking orders and their advantage or disadvantage in selecting one of the three emerging centers of AI power, America, China, and the EU.

As China moves closer to Canada, Canadians move closer to China, making Canada a security threat the closer they gravitate towards a Chinese alignment.

China is winning influence in countries like Germany and the UK, even as evidence of its violations of trust continue to emerge in both countries.

  1. IRAN WAR – By the end of the third quarter of this year, it has become apparent that militarily Iran is not viable. It has also become apparent the progressive state press continues to support narratives that undermine confidence in the war with the American people. Support for the war has never been lower.

President Trump’s fiery UN speech was met with scorn by the “American” press, who reveled when the Iranian officials walked out mid-speech. He made it clear his intentions of ending the regime’s power for good.

After alleged Iranian agents were caught trying to bomb a UK air base with U.S. forces on it, Burnham’s government chose to let the men out on a bail that required no monetary deposit. Trump’s only public response to the decision was “I wouldn’t have done that.”

At the end of September, Iran proposed a seven-day truce to re-open the Strait of Hormuz, which was rejected, as traffic to and around the Strait has returned to pre-war levels.

Iran’s economy is shutting down, its oil rots in ports, unable to break the blockade, yet the progressive state press will tell you victory for Iran is near.

Here is how we reported the war in our July SitRep: “The war began the month in a ceasefire, exited it, entered it again, and is currently mostly out of it. The Iranian regime was able to hold a funeral, where they called on the American government to be assassinated, and an American progressive attending gleefully agreed.

“While the U.S. has failed to remove the regime from power, as a fighting force, the regime is essentially done. Even Iran’s latest attempt to fight back, a surprise missile attack, failed to make any impact whatsoever.

“The response to the surprise attack was twelve straight days of the most intense bombing of the war so far, as infrastructure was targeted, including bridges.

“Internally, there are signs of dissenting action, but the regime’s murderous response has prevented any meaningful resistance from forming.

“The Strait of Hormuz is still not secure, and now the Houthis are attempting to shut down the Red Sea. The hope is that shutting down two major shipping lanes, the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz, will cripple the global economy.”

What has changed since then are signs of internal dissent are much greater than they were before, the economy is truly collapsed, and the Strait is either secured or alternative routes have been successfully created.

The last month has seen minimal military engagements by the U.S., outside of mainly securing the Strait.

The refusal of the President to make this war clearly about AI geopolitical strategy has emboldened dissent at home, even among republicans, who helped pass another House resolution calling on the President to end the war in Iran.

While the Houthis have successfully opened up a new front in the war by attacking the Red Sea and taking coastal Red Sea territory, their effect on world trade has so far not materialized.

  1. UK WATCH – Here is what we wrote about the UK in our July SitRep: “The UK began the month with a defense wish list they realize they cannot fund. Like many other militaries, the UK is banking on AI integration, drone technology, and high technology in general to create the new military of the 21st century.

“Nigel Farage was hit by a political scandal when it came out he had received millions of pounds from a wealthy donor as a ‘gift.’  He did not receive the gift while in office, but efforts to charge him with a crime for not reporting what the gift was for have nonetheless commenced.

“Keir Starmer would spend his last days as Prime Minister, leaving office July 20, 2026. Andy Burnham has taken the helm, promising to right the ship Starmer crashed (or so the narrative goes) …

“While Labour has recently taken the lead in the polls, the Burnham bump has not pushed the party up decisively. It appears to have given them a 4-point bump. The polls, however, still largely fail to prompt for Restore Britain as a party choice.

“Britian appears to be continuing to divide along nativist and colonist lines, with the progressives taking the side of the colonists they imported on the nativists’ dime.”

The slide between the preferred progressive UK classes, the “migrants,” has only dramatically accelerated. Protests, and even riots, attempting to disrupt the continued importing of “migrants” has led to more arrests, more videos of British police attacking the British people, including women.

A recent video showing a “British” store forcing men to be in one aisle and women in another to be Sharia compliant has only highlighted the existential divide between the imported people and the natives.

Reform appears done as it slides, at times, into third behind the conservatives, and Labor now continues to lead. Burnham, however, is not convinced it’s time to strike, so he is refusing to call for early elections, just yet. He is, however, floating the campaign narrative for the next election, hoping it will be about raising taxes to pay for more free social healthcare for its new “residents.”

In response to rising dissent, the progressive government is doubling down on efforts to censor, block, and arrest dissenters and their messages. Their efforts are so extreme, President Trump warned them they were close to violating Americans’ rights, including American social media companies.

D. CULTURE

All year so far, abortion and euthanasia have been trending topics worldwide. Subcategories of “wokeness” continue to dominate culture headlines. In our wokeness category, we are limiting our analysis to the key bellwethers. Be sure to scan our notes from our culture section to read all the stories we didn’t cover here.

  1. WOKENESS – The rise of the DSA has brought with it another partner, Islamists. So far, Islamists within the progressive party have at least kept quiet about the rainbow ideology party of progressivism. They’ve embraced the white devil narrative, but not so much the rainbow narrative.

The rainbow narrative has these two essential beliefs: homonormativity trumps heteronormativity and social gender trumps the gender binary.

This belief is not justified by objective scientific studies, it is justified by the white devil narrative. In the progressive worldview, heteronormativity, the gender binary, and even monogamy, are all merely vehicles of power for white supremacists. Again, this is not hyperbole.

The Islamist is on board with the white devil narrative, especially because it also invalidates Christianity, which was allegedly invented by the white man to keep the black man down.

Where the Islamists break with the progressive is over the rainbow part of the DSA and the progressives. Now, those cracks are beginning to show.

Our medical institutions are still being controlled by woke activists, meaning the doctors they equip today will have gone through a gauntlet of white devil affirming rituals (ESPECIALLY if they happen to be white) before becoming your doctor.

This is why we recommend no American, regardless of race, accept the services of a doctor who graduated med school in the last five years, unless you have a personal reference that lets you know they don’t represent those anti-American, racist values.

Who wants to be medicated by a doctor who just agreed to hate you because of the color of your skin? Who wants to be medicated by a doctor willing to publicly pledge hatred of a people, even if you’re not the people they pledge to hate?

Recently, an American Medical student had her PhD research suspended because it invalidated medical “treatment” for children who “decided” they’re of a different gender than their sex. Celina Lazzari’s study has led her to oppose trans medical “treatment” of children. For this, our medical institutions will blacklist her from any high stations in their progressive-controlled institutions.

For her belief that medicine should not mutilate children for the sake of the trans ideology, our current medical institutions have now blacklisted her from excellent positions within their hierarchies of power.

These are NOT American institutions. These are not scientific institutions.

The voices that will get the research dollars and the influential chairs will be the ones that publicly affirm the white devil narrative and publicly support mutilating children to make them “look” like the opposite gender (which is also the sex).

A progressive U.S. representative, Jahana Hayes, not only defended DEI in schools, she said “Teaching colonialism directly addresses the systemic roots of healthcare inequities.”

Let us remember that progressivism’s end goal is to colonize the entire world with their ideology, by the end of the gun.

The gender binary is now heretical. The white man as a human being is blasphemous. These are not American institutions.

In our colleges and universities, the white devil standard bearer, DEI, is still being covertly practiced and enforced, though with less effectiveness than before. Also, in some instances DEI has been rendered mostly neutered.

Still, DEI as a way of life among the progressive citizens that run our American institutions, the revolutionary activists called professors, is still their lifeblood, their justification for daily violence against the American republic.

Progressive judges are doing their best to stop the removal of a blatantly racist, anti-heteronormative, pro-child-mutilating ideology mostly for procedural issues. The removal of overtly discriminatory standards that target whites, heterosexuals, men, and ‘cis-gendered’ people should not be an issue with the courts.

With American courts, they wouldn’t be, but with progressive courts, DEI is their real rule of law. They bend the constitution to DEI, not the other way around.

  1. ABORTION WATCH – As Christians and other Americans continue their fight against unborn child murder, the progressive state press is busy telling their audiences that pro-life groups are violent. The latest progressive state organ to do so is the Colorado Times Recorder. They ran a story with this headline, “Kansas Group Linked to Abortion Clinic Violence Protests in Colorado.”

If the progressive state press disappeared overnight, and an American one replaced them, the true horrifying reality of a child sacrifice industry would be exposed. Abortion mills would be exposed by investigative reporters with mainstream platforms, free from lawfare assault by progressive state prosecutors and judges.

Support for abortion would plummet overnight if America could see the real cost of “casual sex.”

We wrote in our August Sitrep, abortions are on the rise thanks to AI’s normalization of abortion and the ease with which women and girls can obtain the “abortion pill.”

The ease of acquiring the pill is leading to spikes in reported forced abortions by men attempting to either cover up their rapes or free themselves from financial liability. Abortionists are fighting against the “stigmatization” of the work they do, murdering unborn children.

One state, Massachusetts, legalized abortion up to birth while another state, Virginia, has a ballot initiative to do the same. There are now 10 states that have legalized abortion up to birth, and those states have fallen below population replacement levels, a goal of the progressive state.

Virginia’s ballot measure has been opposed by a coalition of Pastors, who wrote, “We believe these two amendments must be rejected for the Commonwealth of Virginia because they will harm our state as they are opposed to human flourishing and contrary to the Word of God. Let us seek one another’s true good and not mark our identity with the deprivations that these amendments would bring to the Constitution of Virginia.”

The story of a surrogate mother who fled from California to Texas to protect the baby inside her from the parents’ command to abort the child has become THE bellwether of the spirit of abortion in the land.

One woman risked life and limb and freedom to save a child while a progressive couple sought to use the state to force her to murder the life growing inside her.

California supported the would-be murderers, awarding the now-born child to the couple that wanted to murder him. They claimed it was a woman’s right to choose, until it wasn’t. The surrogate mother faced death threats from “pro-choice” militants.

California is also now forcing all public universities to advertise abortion services. None of them promote prenatal care and alternatives to abortions. This legislation does not require them to.

  1. EUTHANASIA WATCH – The normalization of euthanasia worldwide has only accelerated, though there have been some victories. In the UK, though it is controlled by progressives, still rejected yet another attempt to legalize euthanasia. In the Netherlands, euthanasia reached a new low, executing a child at the age of two. The doctors claim the execution was “handled well.”

This is the same country that allowed a 17-year-old rape victim to request euthanasia and be granted it. One of the last words she heard before the euthanasia “doctor” injected her with a lethal cocktail was from that same doctor. He said, “Girl, have a nice trip.”

In Colorado, efforts to assure standards are being met in their euthanasia program appear to be lacking, with no evidence of proper mental health evaluations happening with the “consenting” “patients.”

Also in Colorado, a man who euthanized his healthy mother also inherited her fortune. A progressive judge ruled that when he suffocated his mother to death with a plastic bag that he was only euthanizing her. He ordered the man to donate $25,000 to an organization that promotes “assisted suicide.”

In Canada, the execution of an 83-year-old woman by euthanasia doctors left the victim covered in blood and the family claiming the woman did NOT consent to being euthanized.

Canada’s euthanasia program almost killed a woman suffering from Stage 4 Breast Cancer. Her doctors strongly encouraged her to consider euthanasia. This led her to flee to America, where she was cured. A healthy woman suffering from depression was also recently euthanized by Canadian “doctors.”

E. SCI-TECH

This quarter, sci-tech was dominated by AI, but Social Media, though it was a distant second, was still a dominant trend this quarter. AI in particular is developing many sub-topics that are becoming dominant trends in their own right, like AI Data Centers and AI Governance. In our 2026 election section, we highlighted AI’s role in this midterm election (which is significant).

Social media is going through a major shift in geopolitical realities that are putting its global reach in jeopardy. For both, this past quarter has been seminal in their development. For this reason, we are limiting our bellwether analysis in sci-tech to just two, AI and Social Media.

  1. AI WATCH – AI developments are only continuing to explode as institutions race to figure out how to exist in the new realities this tool is potentially creating. Here is a brief overview touching on some of the most essential developments of AI this quarter.

 It only touches the surface of what we have archived and covered this past quarter.

In our last issue, Paul Gordon Collier wrote about Agentic AI, “This technology is the backbone of all the other technologies to follow. Without Agentic AI (AAI), no military can hope to remotely compete with one that has such powers. For this reason alone, nation-states must assure they either have the most powerful, fastest-processing AI agents or be allied with a nation-state that does. This factor alone makes AI as essential to the 21st Century military as gunpowder has been to all militaries for the last six plus centuries.

“Currently, militaries are already using agentic AI, with the U.S., Russia, and Ukraine deploying it in major operations. Maven Smart System has been used by the U.S. military, which is a provider of intelligence gathering and targeting-supporting AI agents. That has been succeeded by Agent Network, which was just launched in June of this year.”

AI is far and away the “It Girl” of world power. So far, in America, the conversations about AI are borderline puerile, reducing the discourse to “AI will save us all” or “AI is the antichrist.”

As we live with nation-states who play geopolitical “games,” the luxury of halting AI production is not there for any nation-state hoping to be a world power in the decades to come.

AI is a powerful signal as well, able to create, enforce, and promote “ideal” narratives even if only through its ethical code, which will become the ethical code of anyone hoping to use these services.

The battle lines are being drawn around AI governance, and so far, in America, the progressives are well ahead of the Americans, who have yet to form an identifiable faction. The American-adjacent, such as Trump and most non-RINO Republicans, are only just now attempting to deal with the progressives’ emerging hold on AI governance.

As far as controlling AI in war, Trump and AI tech leaders such as Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg had an AI summit where they all promised they would “be responsible.”

President Trump wants AI as free a range as possible to develop, believing (and probably rightly so) that China, America’s main geopolitical adversary, won’t be constraining its use and development of AI as a weapon of war.

In our Futureq Report from the last issue of MIA, Paul Gordon Collier wrote “China is going down the full AI-autonomous swarm path in all domains, air, land, sea, and space, while the U.S. is developing a human supported by a drone team model. China may be betting AI can outthink humans in combat while the U.S. is betting human wisdom as a final check and director of overall action can ‘outthink’ its AI counterpart in China.

“China might also recognize the limits of authoritarian-dominated institutions in creating the kinds of humans who could run a U.S.-designed New Model Military.”

The President will be creating an AI czar who may eventually create something like the “AI Force.” This position could one day be the most powerful position in the land.

  1. SOCIAL MEDIA WATCH – The quarter started with major legislative action worldwide that targeted social media. We wrote in our July 2026 Sitrep, “The assault on an open worldwide social media is well underway. This month, those efforts have only expanded. The favorite tools of control are digital taxation, the levying of fines, requirements to monitor misinformation, ‘hate speech,’ and digital ID to keep children off the internet. The UK looks to force midnight digital curfews on teens from 16-17, with sweeping bans for children under 16.

“The push to ban children from social media is a trojan horse almost everyone sees is about censorship and control of internet access by the state. In the name of saving the children, the state will require regular digital ID verification of every user on the internet, no matter their age, to assure they’re not really under 16.

“Canada, South Korea, the UAE, and France have joined a growing list of nations using child social media bans to smuggle in social media state control and monitoring.”

We wrote in our August 2026 Sitrep, “The frontlines of the global social media battle continue to be ‘child safety’ and ‘misinformation,’ with both becoming opportunities of revenue and backdoor means of internet control by government agencies at various scales, from nation-state to local.

“Unless there is a massive reversal in trends, we see the potential for the loss of meaningful global digital discourse at a massive scale within the next 10 years. Nation-states and zones like the EU are becoming increasingly zealous of internet control tailored to their particular self-serving interests.

“Social media at a time when many nation-states already know the masses are going to be ‘asked’ to make great sacrifices for the good of the whole is fire to the flames they know they are about to fan with their draconian legislation.

“Americans support stronger oversight of social media by the state, including regulations to keep children off of it. The polls don’t ask if they support digital ID confirmations with every internet sign-in as a price for that ‘child safety’ measure.”

The trends this past month have only continued along the lines we observed in August.

The EU has announced plans to restrict social media access for children, which will required digital ID for all users to assure none of them are children. A recent study of nations that have such laws has revealed they only work in empowering the state to track adults, they are less effective at keeping children off social media sites.

The UK has gone so far that the Trump administration is concerned its censorship laws will catch Americans up in its snare. He warned Burnham’s government to be mindful of Americans’ first amendment rights.

President Trump himself is pushing the bounds of social media in the Presidency.

We reported, “President Trump’s Truth Social announced plans to offer corporations the opportunity to see the most influential Truth Social posters’ posts a few seconds before everyone else does. The offer is available only for institutional clients, specifically banks, hedge funds, and high-frequency traders. You pay for a few seconds of insider trading.

“The ethicality of the decision is being questioned across the political sphere, never mind the legality of it. The question is, is this not simply selling Presidential influence? The product is the Presidential power, not Trump’s wisdom.

The interim CEO, Kevin McGurn, said, ‘Markets are already reacting to Truth Social posts. The Truth API will provide direct, licensed access to the platform’s most market-moving content, while allowing us to monetize our own assets’”

F. MARKET

Near the end of this quarter, the Federal Reserve moved to raise interest rates for the first time in 3 years. The decision to raise the interest rate was unanimous. The rates were raised by a quarter percentage point, making the new base range 3.75% to 4%.

The inflation rate remains above the Fed’s targeted 2% benchmark to lower rates.

The consumer price index increased by 3.4% in both July and August, with the main driver being gasoline and energy costs.

The 30-Year Treasury Bond Yield hit 5.501%, which was a high not reached since June of 2007. The spike came after U.S. economic data showed a stronger than expected economy, raising concerns there would be more Fed rate increases to combat inflationary pressures.

High oil prices have also contributed to the spike. The rate is a benchmark for long-term interest rates and long-term borrowing.

The Unemployment Rate mostly hovered around 4.2% throughout the quarter, with the last numbers reported for the month of August.

In September, private payrolls increased by 46,000 while government payrolls fell by 17,000. This is an overall healthy trend.

The Labor Market overall is growing, but not by much, with July’s revised numbers showing job losses. Wage growth is at 3%, which is well below what it had been, and reaching levels of lows not seen in a few years.

Something looming under the surface we reported in July could change the dynamic of the markets in due time: “A surge in hidden debt among AI giants like Oracle and Meta is setting off alarms in the industry. The hidden debt comes from future payment operations for expenses not yet online to make money. For instance, leases and property taxes must be paid on sites that are earmarked for databases that haven’t been built or completely built yet. The hidden debt amounts to more than $1.65 trillion.”

As pressure grows, some of the market growth from AI stocks could be taken back if investors can’t see how many of these companies plan on meeting these challenges as the massive bills come due.

If shipping has truly returned to pre-Iran War numbers, some pressures on oil pressures will be decreased, but the drone wars in Ukraine and Russia are now targeting diesel oil refineries, which is threatening truck transport, which is threatening the market as a whole.

The President has announced plans to cut this off, including making modifications of standards to allow alternative diesel to flow. He is also putting pressure, such as he can, on both Putin and Zelensky, to end targeting each other’s refineries. It remains to be seen how effective his efforts will be.

Some of the pressure on gas prices is coming from years of anti-refinery action by progressives. In 2025, we reported on California’s “success” at shutting down most of the refineries in the state. It has only gotten worse since then.

We reported then, “With two oil refineries already shut down thanks to California’s anti-energy “climate change” laws making the cost of refining increasingly non-profitable, California is desperate to hold on to another refinery, Valero, whose Benicia plant is slated to shut down in April of 2026. Lawmakers are negotiating the possibility of essentially subsidizing the plant (paying for the cost of their regulations) to the tune of $80 million minimum, $200 million max.”

AI is currently driving the markets upward, but it has a big debt problem underneath that growth. Even if both the Ukraine War and Iran War ended today, infrastructure problems worldwide, especially in America, make fixing the gas price problem not such an easy fix.

While the AI debt shadow casts a doubt for the future, $1 trillion plus worth of investments in new U.S. factory builds have yet to come online. Once they do, the dynamic in America could, theoretically, be radically different than today.

While the markets may continue to grow, the prospect for the average consumer is not bullish, but not recessionary. The market has a mix of strong and weak forces effectively putting us in a malaise-state, not quite prospering, but not quite becoming recessionary. As factories come online, however, that situation could change for the better for the average consumer and worker.

G. AGIT PROP

Here are our top two Agit Prop Headlines from each month in the quarter, starting with September (with one dishonorable mention).

  1. SEPTEMBER

Democrats are running pastors for office. Republicans are attacking their religious comments. – Politico – It is clear to the casual historically orthodox Christian that this headline was not written by someone who has a remote understanding of the faith in that historical context. To this progressive writer, the “progressive Christian” is as authentic as the historically orthodox Christian, or at least that’s what the writer wants to create in your mind with this headline.

The “Pastors” running for office in the progressive party deny Christ is God, deny the infallibility of scripture, and teach that Christ is a man with good ideals.

All of Christ’s ideals affirm their progressive worldview, which includes the belief the white race created the patterns of evil the world has been oppressed by since America was formed. The FBI attempted to codify that standard into government during the Biden administration.

The progressive writer most likely understands that, to historically orthodox Christians, their views are considered an assault on our faith, not an affirmation of it. Republicans are attacking their religious comments because they’re antithetical to basic Christian scripture-based teachings, and they legitimize anti-American, anti-Christian government policies.

These “Pastors” use Christ to demonize those who oppose abortions, who don’t believe the white devil is the greatest evil in the world, who don’t support transitioning children, and certainly those that oppose hate speech laws intended to protect “disenfranchised classes” like minor-attracted-persons and non-binaries.

To the casual “reader,” the headline gives themselves permission to dismiss any religious opposition to their progressive agenda, since this headline “confirms” Republicans (aka anyone not them) are hypocritical, because when progressives finally embrace faith in politics, Republicans just attack them.

We are sure there are progressive podcasts out there even as we write this, claiming this proves conservatives, anyone not them, never really cared about having religion in politics anyway, not when it finally “backfired” on them.

To them, the “teachings” of progressive pastors are more “Christian” than a plain reading of Romans Chapter 1.

While they call you a Nazi, which is a signal to others that you’re a military target, they tell you that your god is a god of hate, and their god is a god of love. This is pretty much the spirit this headline is giving permission to hold.

Iran is suffering yet surviving under Trump’s economic warfare – Washington Post – If Iran was a Christian country being invaded by the U.S. for not allowing gay marriages, the Washington Post headline would read “American Power Causes Major Economic Cracks in Faltering Fascist State.”

This headline was possibly written by an operative who understands what’s at stake in Iran. They may understand that the socialist model is being challenged, should an American state they don’t control too soon build the superpower AI of the next generation.

If non-progressive America’s AI beats China’s AI, this will be a major blow to the prestige status of the progressive project.

Iran as a Chinese ally gives China tremendous opportunity not only to shore up Iranian AI resources, but to continue their effort to lock down Afghanistan as an AI resource hub.

There’s more at stake than this, but, if we are right, this is the main driver of most geopolitical action by those who are pragmatically looking at the new AI reality of power. If China loses Iran, Afghanistan opens up for America, which could significantly set back China’s AI resource potential in the immediate years to come.

If this is our theoretical operative at work, this headline first humanizes Iran. They don’t refer to them as the Islamic Republic. They are looking for casual reader programming here, meaning, they are targeting headline-only readers with these types of headlines.

The intent is to erode support for the war at home. This might be one of two CCP strategies to offset American military advantage. That advantage is still very real, though not quite as supreme, yet still dominant. The other strategy is to spread AI horror stories, real or imagined, to slow down U.S. AI development through politics.

While it humanizes Iran, it vilifies U.S. action, referring to it not as American action, but Trump action. To the one either relying on agit prop organs like Politico for “news” or being fed the headline from influencers or memes on social media sites (which is where most of the actual influence by the progressive state press exists), they have been told the poor Iranians are being unjustly harmed by a man they already know is “literally worse than Hitler.”

This makes the action inherently evil, and not even American, so they can easily cheer for the Iranians at their own, and our (their unfortunate neighbors) expense. They can wish harm, essentially, on themselves and their American neighbors without having to nakedly face the fact they are rooting against the land that butters their bread.

The blood and bone cost of living is not real to these ideologues, all built around the spirit that the world is a battle between good, their ideology, and evil, the white devil and his enablers (which is basically anyone who does not sign up for the whole program).

To this headline writer, they are defending the world against America, even as they thrive off the fat of its land. To the American, this headline might as well have been written by the Iranian mullahs themselves. It is no wonder the Iranians have endorsed the Democrats in the upcoming midterm election.

We want to give a dishonorable mention to this headline, First Trump Came for Immigrants. Then He Came for Their Lawyers. – Mother Jones – The “immigrants” in that headline are illegal aliens. The “lawyers” are progressive lawyers willfully breaking the law to protect the illegal aliens. The people really coming for your neighbors are the writers of Mother Jones painting an assassin’s bullseye on ICE agents with that headline.

  1. AUGUST

A Trump Judge Called Mail-In Ballots a Threat to Democracy – Mother Jones – This headline from Mother Jones sets the tone by starting out with “A Trump Judge….” This lets its progressive audience know what follows next is on-its-face, will be unfounded nonsense of the highest order.

That unfounded nonsense is “Called Mail in Ballots a Threat to Democracy.”

The word “Democracy” is THEIR word, not the word of conservatives, or even Americans. We both prefer “Republic.” The word “Democracy” tells the reader that Mail in Ballots and Democracy go together, and challenging Mail in Ballots is more intrusive to the Democratic election process than the Mail in Ballots are themselves.

As for any concerns about ballots that are not verified to be sent by actual citizens who actually chose the selections on the ballot, this is what Mother Jones has to say about that,

“There is no evidence that mail-in ballots are ‘prone to fraud.’ An analysis from the Brookings Institution found an ‘average total mail voting fraud percentage across the 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2022 general elections of only 0.000043 [percent].’ Or, about 4 votes per 10 million votes. Mail-in voting can be very important for disabled and aging people, who otherwise may have to deal with accessibility challenges with getting to the polls and access issues when voting itself.”

Brookings Institute is part of the network of the Progressive State Press.

There you have it, no worries there. Progressives, trust us, right now we’re cheating to protect the world from the white devil. When the white devil is vanquished, we’ll stop cheating, promise.

FBI seizes Swalwell’s devices, executes search warrants in sexual misconduct probe – CBS News – CBS News is protecting the Democratic Party from being rightly sullied with the real story. The headline should read, FBI ABRUPTLY SEIZES SWALWELL’S PHONE AT AIRPORT INVESTIGATING CCP SPY TIES.

A shorter headline might read, CCP-CONNECTED SWALWELL GETS PHONE TAKEN BY FBI AT AIRPORT.

They start their headline with “FBI,” which is hated at present by their targeted audience, progressive influencers. This telegraphs the narrative to combat the real story; a prominent Democrat once thought of as a potential future Presidential candidate was having an ongoing affair with a Chinese spy.

His sexual aggression with other women is what got him removed, but the FBI was there to find evidence that connects Swalwell to the CCP, not more evidence of his sexual deviancy.

Note they also leave out of the headline the airport confiscation, for it would create the proper context for this highly irregular action. They want it to seem banal, not rightly concerning.

  1. JULY

Trump threatens survival of American democracy with election rigging efforts – The Hill – The progressive state media’s constant mantra of democracy is a subliminal rewiring of the American mind from the checks and balances processes of republics to generic claims of having the will of the people.

Here, the Hill couples that rewiring strategy with a demonization of President Trump intended to incite more violence against the President.

The Hill is claiming the President’s questioning of mass mailer elections is tantamount to treason. This gives those inclined to rescue the democracy by any means all the justification they need to continue to use violence as a means of political persuasion.

How Republicans paved the way for white nationalists to invade DC – Daily Kos – The primary justification for reducing their political opponents to executable targets is the white devil myth.

Here we see one of the greatest purveyors of this terrorist-inspiring narrative, the Daily Kos, which is once again engaging in violence-inciting polemics. The readers of this headline will continue to feel emboldened to take violent, coercive action against anyone they perceive as supporting the white devil republicans.

H. ASSESSMENT

These are brief analyses of key aspects of each of our major summarized categories, U.S. Politics, Geopolitics, Culture and Sci-Tech. We start with our Bellwether of the Quarter.

  1. THE PROGRESSIVE STATE – The difference between the typical conservative and the progressive is becoming increasingly harder to ignore, especially when “the quiet parts out loud” parts are now just normal discourse for the most powerful Democrats.

Conservatives may have one foot in the “equality” part of progressivism, but they see themselves fundamentally as constitution-based Americans. As the non-political conservatives have now been profoundly affected by progressive state and corporate power, the “equality” part of their lives may soon be falling away.

“Equality” to the American means everyone gets an equal chance to demonstrate their individual excellence. “Equality” to the progressive means state and corporate power picking winners and losers based on preferred social class.

“Equality” to the progressive means discrimination, un-banking, un-personing, arrest and incarceration, and finally, and not excluding, execution.

Now, conservative “normies” are starting to understand the language games progressives play to guilt “well-meaning” Americans into signing up for anti-American policies, like “hate speech” laws and censorship.

  1. U.S. POLITICS – The progressives seem to be in go big go home mode this last quarter, allowing themselves to openly partner with a political organization that calls for the dismantling of the American republic.

This tells us they either believe they have the power to finally break the dependency on the American story for their legitimacy as government authority, or believe they are close to running out of time to fight back at all.

Wherever they have state power and media power, they appear willing to make themselves criminally at risk should American or conservative authority prevail. At present, they face executive power threats at the Federal level. Within their progressive-dominant states, they have a host of progressive judges to aid them in slowing down or cancelling any part of the Trump plan they can.

The President is attempting to root out of government all vestiges of progressive administrative power, but, fortunately for the progressives, he doesn’t recognize progressivism as the existential threat to America that it is, or else he doesn’t feel he has the power to act decisively on it.

Even the Executive Branch has plenty of progressive operatives within it, all willing to do anything necessary to stop what they mostly believe is the white devil’s attempt to recolonize and enslave the world. There are plenty of “brilliant” ruthless opportunists within that camp, existential larpers willing to use progressivism as a psychological bludgeon against competition.

For the sociopathic and psychotic, progressivism is an excellent vehicle of power when state and corporate power have your back. Our federal government is filled with such people, people who rose to power using the anti-white, anti-heteronormative ideology of progressivism.

These people understand language theory. They understand the power of language structures to coercively force public action. To lose state and corporate backing is to become a stench to the neighbors you destroyed.

If the corporate-state progressive alliance is broken, the millions of people who reported on their competition violations of the woke code, who openly called for and supported the un-personing of their own family members and friends, will suddenly find themselves confronted by all the enemies they’ve made these past ten years.

At the ground level, the language game advantage of the progressive is being broken. “Conservative” Americans who for decades hardly thought of, let alone talked about, politics, are now becoming experts in language theory. They have become inured to the power of “Equality,” for now they know the anti-white, anti-American assumptions and policies behind the progressive version of that word.

By necessity, they are learning the difference between American equality and Progressive equality, one leads to human flourishing, American equality, and one leads to genocidal rage and police states, Progressive equality.

This midterm election will not end the war, one way or another, but the results, one way or another, are sure to further make clear to Americans the difference between America’s equality and the Progressive State’s version.

  1. GEOPOLITICS – We are seeing more and more signs of nations willing to consider non-traditional alliances as AI realities of power become clearer. We have begun to see the emergence of countries attempting to carve out niches, like data center hub candidates.

We have only just begun to see the new AI resource finds that are sure to come as Rare Earth Minerals and other resources become even more highly desired.

The first round in the AI Wars may one day be considered the capture of Venezuela’s former dictator and Chinese ally, Nicholas Maduro, on “drug charges.” Just like that, Trump telegraphed to China that the geopolitical AI wars were on.

Shortly afterwards, Trump found reason to target China’s next great overseas hub of power, Iran. This hub of power was a flank against competing influencers for Afghan power. Iran offers China a Middle East beachhead, cheap oil, and a buffer zone between what it hopes will become its de facto province, Afghanistan, and U.S. and “Western” competition.

As we have documented, Afghanistan is AI-resource-rich, and as a province, China would get a sweetheart of a deal. While the U.S. might not need the resource as much as China, preventing China from accessing a cheap AI resource would go a long way to slow China’s AI development down.

The bottom line is a super AI brain needs excellent “programming,” excellent hardware, and MASSIVE, EFFICIENT data centers. Think of this as the start of World War Two for the U.S. when it had to convert factories to war factories and began the process of building a massive machine to win a multi-front global war.

The difference is EVERY country that can is in the same place as the U.S., so AI resources are ever increasingly becoming the main driver of geopolitical maneuvering.

Iran remains the most important bellwether in Geopolitics, but it is fed by and feeds many major news trends, including an ever-more-dangerous one, the battle between the Progressive-Islamist alliance and the Ethnic recent natives (the last thousand plus years) of Europe, including the UK.

Wherever Islamists are given government-supported aid to invade European countries, we find progressive authority behind it. They are importing destroyers of white power, not realizing they are importing something far worse than even the worst lie they tell about the “white devil” to their “children” when they go to sleep.

The war between the individual and the progressive state is worldwide. The war between the sovereign nation-state and the progressive state is worldwide.

  1. CULTURE – Across America, we see pockets of defiant resistance to the “woke” ideology, but not a recognition of what might be one of the most effective psychological weapons of “woke” ideology, the myth of “choice.”

There are two main vehicles of power that entice people to join the progressive fold, one is the white devil lie (and all the white-enabling groups the individual can now eliminate from competition with the flimsiest of accusations) and the other is the “choice” lie.

We have been highlighting the “white devil” narrative throughout this report, so here we will focus on the narrative that gave power to the white devil lie, the narrative that gave “good people” permission to accustom themselves to sub-humanizing humans.

This is where many “conservatives” are captured by progressive notions of “equality,” equating “choice” as a manifestation of “equality” because it gives the woman an “equal” right to non-consequential sex as the man has (excluding, of course, STDs, but even on that front “science” is reducing the consequences of that as well).

To get there, however, the conservative had to heuristically let go of the bedrock of the justification for American authority, a demonstrated restraint of power in recognition of the “endowed by their creator” human being.

The American human had “authority” of self-stewardship granted them by forces outside of creation itself. The government “of” the people had to be a government that recognized the self-stewardship “sovereignty” of the people themselves.

To avoid dismantling American Rule of Law directly, the justices in 1973 had to define a person as one who was born. Later, the person was elevated to “viable outside the womb.”

But heuristically, your body knows you are sub-humanizing the most innocent of human life. No matter the doctored language you want to invent, you have reduced a whole human being to a stage of life. This is not a scientific definition of a life.

This is a definition that attempts to preserve American Rule of Law by allowing the most innocent human of us all, the unborn, to be defined as un-human.

Like the definition of 3/5 of a man to preserve another evil, slavery, while preserving the new American Rule of Law, based on that same creator-ordained self-stewarding “sovereign,” the attempt to sterilize evil in legal doublespeak cannot conceal the spirit its truth unleashes.

America would not survive 100 years with that subterfuge within them, and the subterfuge of “whole life reduced to a stage in life” in American Rule of Law is doing to us now what 3/5 of a person did to us then. Conservatives, however, are mostly in support of preserving some form of government power to define human life as a stage, not the whole human.

We do our work not just to serve our subscribers, but to preserve for posterity that there were some willing to boldly proclaim the evil that befell our land either right before the end or right before the better second act.

We believe we are living at such times, and we urge our readers, and ourselves, to temper righteous anger with tender mercy, especially where contrition starts.

We also want to add that while we believe the “white devil” narrative is real and not hyperbolic, it does not justify ACTUALLY BECOMING a “white devil,” someone who assumes their skin color gives them special rights to treat non-whites as less than Americans.

While white nationalists are not a real threat to the American republic, at present, we do recognize they exist. Their ideology is as anti-American, anti-human, anti-Christ as the progressive, and it comes from the same font, the social-self vehicle of power.

This is where the ideal social is possible, and thus violence is justified in implementing it. On that front, there is no difference between the white nationalist and the progressive, or, for that matter, the Islamist.

These people are where the pattern of individualism without consequence ends, with the illusion of ONE SOCIAL that every member imagines is really only themselves. This is the self making non-selfness disappear. This is the self making consequence disappear, except for the non-selves.

  1. SCI-TECH – All around the world there are nation-states in power where their nation’s story that justifies both state power and unity is either destroyed or on life support. Even China is suffering from this crisis, as is the United States. It is in that chaos that two radically human-altering technologies, AI and Social Media, have come to loggerheads with both international power and sovereign state power.

The major corporations driving these technologies have a history of working agreeably with the state whenever the state puts the least bit of pressure on it (ESPECIALLY when progressives are in power).

Witness the instant caving of American principles by companies like Twitter and YouTube during the Biden administration, who both acquiesced to the new progressive rule of law.

Yet here these same corporations that have been making bank off international social media platforms now find themselves facing what might be an international extinction event, or near-extinction event.

This is being triggered by the needs of nation-states to control both social media revenue and social media power. In the AI Wars, exploitation will be deemed a necessary “sacrifice” for the state to make.

The less American our state becomes, the more exploitation will follow. Where the state has no constraint on its power, exploitation will proceed in the service of building an AI brain the progressive state feels confident will stay in its hands.

We are beginning to formulate a shadow of an outline of a possibility of the new moral fear narratives competing factions might adopt. These new narratives might mostly center around the use of AI, as well how much suffering citizens should accept in the name of supporting their nation-state’s AI brain build.

I. RECOMMENDED ACTION

Our mission here is to give our readers a sense of the reality of power specifically in the U.S., but also to a lesser degree the rest of the world. We analyze from a Christian Americanist perspective, though most of this analysis was primarily from an Americanist perspective.

One thing most of our readers have in common with one another is their Americanism, their wanting to preserve and/or restore life flourishing values of liberty for themselves, their children, and their children’s children.

We appeal to our readers, as we have for some time, to find Americans, steward your own sense of what “American” means, and network with one another to become more self-sustaining between yourselves. We continue that appeal.

We are not seeing as many independent small-scale AI and Social Media alternatives being built, or even talked about, as we’d like to see. While we see some AI technologies offering a promise of small-scale AI brain development, at present AI is a big state’s game.

The best we who are seeking self-stewardship living can do at present is to develop our own open-source AI agents on our own hardware. They still rely on a core (massive data centers, for instance) beyond our capacity to duplicate, but in the near future that reality may significantly change.

If you’re going to build your own AI agents, you will need to know how to govern them.

From our Tools of Engagement in our September Monthly issue: “For you, the rise of AI means two things, learning how to work without AI tools, or learning how to effectively use AI tools. For most, the latter is more realistic than the former.

For those in the latter group, we recommend you make it a regular habit to utilize multiple AI agents, including open-source AI agents. This will prevent you from becoming too attached or dependent on one AI “voice.” It will also get you overall better results, especially with research.

We utilize multiple AIs during our research process.

Here are resources to help you prepare for a world with AI without becoming AI’s tool:

We also recommend registering to vote if you intend on only voting straight Republican. This is not a recognition of the Republican Party as an American Party, but rather as a hold while American Parties form (and we are still hoping they soon will).

We understand not voting for personal convictions, but no vote should be cast for the party of insurrection, the de factor progressive party, which is also the progressive state (for leftists, the party and the state are the same thing, this is also true, generally, of fascists).

We have these recommendations for President Trump; win in Iran, declare an insurrection, arrest the top progressive leaders (in ALL major institutions), and hold public, fair trials exposing their treason and collusion with foreign powers.

There are politicians, journalists, doctors, teachers, on that list, but these prosecutions should only target the top leaders in the targeted progressive institutions. If they become too broad, you become the monster you fight, and innocents will be caught up in the violent hysteria to come.

We also recommend he ends Palantir’s contract with the government and cease all efforts to digitize our lives in a central database.

Above all else, we recommend he declare a national emergency and shut down the public schools. Every teacher that taught children about white privilege, gender transitioning, and sexual exploration should be laid off and given a path back to teaching through re-certification.

The leaders of the school districts, the school boards, the civic governments, should face various levels of prosecution, with a very small percentage potentially facing capital offense charges (the ones who knew full well the psychological terrorism they were, and still are, inflicting).

Again, if your prosecutorial targets are too broad, especially the capital offense ones, you will create chaos, you will not restore confidence in American Rule of Law.

If you don’t offer paths to redemption to the vast majority of progressives, you will create a sectarian, block by block, civil war. As it is, there will be violence, but paths back to redemption will dramatically decrease that pressure.

We write this for history’s sake, not expecting the President to see this, let alone consider it.

PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS

We predict greater attention will be made to the Caspian Sea region over the next coming months as we witness AI geopolitical realities beginning to take form.

At home, we will wait until our October 30 issue to reveal our predictive analysis for the election and what might come whether Republicans or Democrats win.

We are at the death knells of the white devil narratives in America, and that will produce more violence from those who built their power from it. It is not dying so much because opinions will be changed but because the narratives don’t produce quality human managers of AI.

Some measure of merit-based culling must be restored, but white devil narratives call merit a dog whistle for white supremacism.

We are not quite sure what the new moral “angels and demons” stories will be, but we are beginning to catch a glimpse of them, though not one clear enough to share just yet.

Yet, in the death knells of a terrible story, we have reason to resist, speak plainly, frankly, bluntly in opposition to it, and sever associations, where possible, with institutions that continue to derive their power from it.

In the death knells of a terrible story, the fanaticism of the true believers will only increase, and when one party, the Democratic Party, still needs street fighters, that’s the ready-made pool to draw from, cultivate, and fund.

Rhetoric from progressive state media will only increase even as it cries “1st Amendment” while being fully in support of all the great censorship actions of the past ten years, from the “Replacement” Theory to Covid-19 to the 2020 Election.

The latest one is that “Mass Mailer Elections are perfectly safe, and only fascists and MAGA oppose it.”

This land continues to not recognize how empowering to the progressive spirit “life as a stage and not the whole” principle is. When this line is granted to the state and is given as a justification for a woman’s right to “choose,” it creates the underlying condition to accept the next premise.

The first premise is that unborn life can be sub-humanized. The second premise is the white race can be sub-humanized as well. Only then is American liberty a threat to your life and not the necessary condition for human flourishing.

As the spirit of the nation goes with abortion, we believe, so too will it go for America. If we accept “choice” as an “American” value, we must build our republic on a new foundation, for the old one is dead, for surely an unborn child is as endowed by our creator as we are.

If the most vulnerable is not protected from the powerful, none of us are, and this is really the era of “might makes right,” for that is the only true value a nation without a sacred individual can truly hold.

This is what the principle of “endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights” creates for the peaceful weak. This is what protects everyone, weak or strong, from the violently persuasive. The aborted child is a symbol of the death of the American republic.

What we should look for as signs that a new, more fulfilled republic, could be in our future are for more and more people discovering their Americanism, then American clubs will start to form, not coopted by fascists and other non-Americans.

We should see a country coming to grips with the reality of child sacrifice, an offering of forgiveness for the women and men who participated in “legal” abortions, and a crying out to end the practice.

As the bill comes due for many women who chose casual sex and career over family, the cost of “casual sex” is becoming increasingly not-so-casual. It might even be apocalyptic in that it leads the human race to expire through lack of reproduction.

As more people notice these outcomes, perhaps we will be shaken from our 50-year-plus built-up tolerance to unborn child murder.

GLOBAL OUTLOOK

  1. SCOTUS ENABLES MASS MAILER VOTER FRAUD – The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that a lower court ruling suspending President Trump’s XO attempting to make Mass mailer voting more accountable will stand, at least until AFTER the 2026 election. The ruling effectively enables Democrats to slow-walk close races in their favor using reserve “ballots” “registered” to the dead and non-citizens still on their uncleansed voter rolls.
  2. THUNE LETS SAVE ACT DIE – The SAVE Act, aka the SAVE America Act, came closer to not being passed before the summer recess thanks to Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD). The last attempt failed to pass by a vote of 48-50.

It now appears increasingly likely that mass mailer elections will continue at least until 2026, giving Democrats a decided advantage. For the progressive state press, this defeat of Voter ID legislation was celebrated. ED. NOTE: That assumption is now certain, that the mass mailer election will take place with little to no safeguards in place to give Americans confidence in the midterm elections.

  1. TRUMP IDENTIFIES FOREIGN VULNERABILITIES TO U.S. ELECTIONS – President Donald Trump delivered a Prime Time Speech that failed to deliver rumored smoking guns, but hinted at ones to come. In addition to calling for a DOJ investigation of alleged voter fraud in Michigan in 2020, the President also identified vulnerabilities in the election system that puts it at risk of foreign influence, including from China. He also claims China affected the 2020 election. China has already denied the claims.

The speech’s main moment came with Trump’s claim that a set of documents “proves that for many years, Americans were blatantly lied to about the security of our election infrastructure, including electronic voting machines and ballot counting systems. They’re vulnerable, and they’re easily compromised, and people within our government knew that.”

  1. TRUMP, AI TECH LEADERS PROMISE TO BE RESPONSIBLE – President Trump held an AI summit at the White House where he and tech leaders from Elon Musk to Mark Zuckerberg agreed to self-govern their roll-out of AI.

The President has held that holding back AI will allow China to dominate us, and that includes militarily. The move appears intended to ward off any legislative efforts to limit AI. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-AR) appeared to cosign the agreement, claiming “The super intelligence providers are committed to building trust as they help us build the future.”

  1. BIDEN’S FBI KILLED INVESTIGATIONS INTO FAMILY CORRUPTION – The FBI under President Biden ran a covert operation designed to neutralize any effort to investigate allegations of corruption by the Biden family. The operation was called “Rounded River.” The Trump White House Transparency Task Force released their findings this past month.
  2. PROGRESSIVES RAN GLOBAL POLICY ILLEGALLY DURING TRUMP’S FIRST TERM – Catherine Herridge has been covering the efforts by progressives in the Trump administration who appear to have committed acts of treason by knowingly omitting and altering intelligence reports on China to protect China from Trump’s scrutiny.

Herridge claimed, “They had to save President Trump from his own instincts, from his own tendencies, and that there was very much a globalist view. And they had to preserve a globalist view. So, whether it was downplaying or suppressing intelligence about the threat from China, whether it was giving a pass and calling the Hunter Biden laptop Russian disinformation, there was this level of a bureaucracy, a kind of conspiracy that was making decisions about the kind of information that should be reaching policy makers and ultimately the commander-in-chief.”

  1. AMERICA LEAVES IRAQ – The last of any U.S. military overt presence in Iraq left the country this week, leaving Iran’s proxy militias an opportunity to gain influence. In addition to fears of Iran’s rise in influence, ISIS continues to remain present, capable of making another run at a caliphate.
  2. IRAN’S ENDURING DEFIANCE LEAVES TRUMP QUESTIONING WHAT TO DO NEXT – President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social a problem he is considering, “Do I Want to Go In and Annihilate Them or Do I Not?”

Internally, there are increasing reports of uprisings, and government “officials” abandoning their positions, but so far, no massive uprising has taken place. With congress recently passing a resolution aimed at stopping the Iran war, the President might have a limited window to operate in, one that needs to end with a pro-American government. ED. NOTE: See more on the Iran War in our Situation Report starting on pg. 2.

  1. SCOTUS GIVES DEMS MISSOURI GERRYMANDERING WIN – The Supreme Court of the United States shut down the 2025 map for the Missouri midterm election, reinstating the 2022 map that preserves the Democrat-favored U.S. House District.

The unsigned order simply declared “At this late date, ordering reversion to the 2025 map in the midst of an ongoing election would usher in electoral chaos.” It should be noted that the primaries were based on the 2025 election map, giving doubt to SCOTUS’ ‘chaos’ claim as the basis for their ruling. A lower court ruling that gave the GOP the 2025 election map was struck down by SCOTUS by a 6-3 decision, cementing the Dems’ preservation of a presumed safe Democrat seat.

  1. TEAM BIDEN APPROVED GOP PHONE SPYING – A report from the U.S. House Judiciary Committee reveals a high-ranking member of the Biden DOJ knew in advance of Jack Smith’s unconstitutional spying on members of congress. The report claims, “beginning in May 2022, prosecutors under the leadership of U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves issued several subpoenas demanding telephone toll records for Members of Congress to identify individuals with whom they spoke around major votes in Congress . . .”
  2. HAWAII INVALIDATES AMERICA’S SCOTUS – The Hawaiian Supreme Court has issued a recent ruling that spent tens of pages excoriating the Supreme Court of the United States. The majority held the Supreme Court was no longer valid because it overturned Roe, the 1973 ruling that decriminalized murdering unborn children.

The majority also held that due to the white supremacist nature of SCOTUS, Hawaii is no longer bound by its rulings. There have been no arrested issued by the Department of Justice.

  1. CCP RUNNING OUTREACH PROGRAMS IN 83 U.S. COLLEGES – The Chinese Communist Party has been allowed to set up propaganda outreach programs in 83 U.S. Colleges according to a report by Defending Education.

The report claims the program is called “The Young Envoys Scholarship,” which sends 50,000 U.S. students to study or visit China. The program is “run by the China Education Association for International Exchange, an organization guided by ‘Marxism-Leninism’ and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism.”

  1. XI’S PURGES CONTINUE – Another heavyweight CCP member found himself purged from power by Chairman Xi. Former Politburo member Ma Xingrui was the latest high-profile leader removed under Xi’s anti-corruption operation. The move shows Xi has still not consolidated power after last year’s attempted coup from within.
  2. 14. EU’S AI ACT KICKS IN – The EU’s new AI Act has taken effect, which includes key provisions empowering the EU to regulate AI models and apply fines to companies that fall out of compliance. The law also gives the EU investigatory powers to penalize non-cooperating companies and individuals.

The Act itself presents a challenge to AI geopolitical realities of power as nations and associations like the EU attempt to use domestic laws to affect foreign AI powers. For instance, the fines countries give to foreign companies due to non-compliance with their AI rules could become weapons of war in the AI geopolitical reality of power.

  1. IN SHADOW OF POLITICAL MURDER OF FORMER MP, BURNHAM TAKES THE UK HELM – On Monday, July 20, 2026, Andy Burnham inherited the UK as its new Prime Minister. He was appointed by the Labour Party through unanimous consent after winning a special MP election in Makerfield.

He inherits a divided Kingdom, having just witnessed a political murder of a former MP, Anne Widdecombe, in her home. Widdecombe is reported to have been beaten to death by a progressive activist. He drove three hours to her home to do it. He used a poled object to kill her.

  1. HALF A MILLION DEAD RUSSIANS FOR A SCRATCH OF EARTH – A British military intelligence report is alleging Russia has lost half a million Russian soldiers in the war since 2023. During that same time, Russia has only gained 2% more ground than it had before.

Air Chief Marshal Sir Rich Knighton, chief of the UK armed forces, commented, “I think these numbers illustrate clearly the senseless and futile waste of human life for such little progress, and against such an illegitimate aim of President Putin.”

  1. META SECURES A $16.7 BILLION CHILD ADDICTION SETTLEMENT – A Federal lawsuit against social media giant Meta has been settled. Meta has agreed to pay $16.7 billion in an agreement with multiple states Attorney Generals. California is one of the states, but Texas and other large states are not. The lawsuit charged Meta with facilitating childhood social media addiction.

California State AG Rob Bonta said of the settlement, “Today, we have secured a settlement with Meta that will make social media less dangerous for our kids and make a world of a difference for children and their families,” Bonta said in a statement. “Meta has agreed to make massive transformations that will reduce the risk of harm from its platforms — and will do it within months.”

  1. SCOTUS RESTORES SOME VOTER ID PLUMBLINING FOR TRUMP – By a vote of 6-3, SCOTUS empowered President Trump’s administration to resume using Social Security records to confirm only citizens are voting in the election. The three progressive state judges voted against the decision. The ruling removes a lower court injunction against the administration.
  2. NOTE: Be sure to read our special October 30 MIA Monthly issue where we will give you a detailed report on the midterm elections, including a predictive analysis.
  3. SISTER TAKES PLACE OF FALLEN LINDSEY GRAHAM – Not long after Lindsey Graham had spoken to President Trump, he had a sudden medical emergency he would not recover from. It was later learned he had a heart attack due to a ruptured aorta. His sister, Darline Graham, was appointed by the Republican South Carolina Governor to finish his term.

She said of her acceptance of the appointment. “It is such a privilege to get to finish some of his important work, and I promise to work hard over the next several months to support the president and carry forward the efforts of my brother on behalf of the citizens of South Carolina and the United States.” She added she was sure he would have wanted her to finish his term.

NOTE: Graham has also won her primary, meaning she will be running for election in the 2026 Midterm election.

21, PROGRESSIVE STATE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS FORMED CONFIDENTIAL GROUP TO PLOT JUDGEFARE ASSAULT ON TRUMP PRESIDENCY – Democrat State Attorneys from across the country were coordinating their efforts to plot legal entanglements for President Trump before the 2024 election, while Biden was still running against Trump.

The group was called “Privileged & Confidential Common Interest Agreement.” It was a secret society of progressive DAs who wanted to go outside the bounds of government accountability record-keeping to plot their intentions to sabotage the Trump Presidency. What hasn’t been revealed is whether progressive judges were in that group. All signs point to “yes.”

  1. WALZ PARDONS CHILD RAPIST – In what appears to be a move to save an illegal alien from deportation, Tim Walz pardoned an illegal alien convicted of raping a child. He was joined on a three-member panel by Democrats Keith Ellison and Natalie Hudson. Ellison is Minnesota’s Attorney General. Hudson is the state’s Chief Justice.

DHS spokeswoman Lauren Bis responded to the decision, claiming “Tou Lue Vang lost his legal status following his conviction for repeatedly sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl.” Marco Rubio has intervened and the illegal immigrant has been deported.

  1. PROTESTS GROW IN UKRAINE OVER ZELENSKY’S MILITARY FIRINGS – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has chosen Major General Ihor Skybyuk to become the new chief of the General Staff of the Armed Force. The move follows numerous shake-ups in military leadership that are leading to street protests from Ukrainians.

Zelensky said of the appointment, “We determined the order of further steps. Today, decisions regarding the replacement of the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be formalized — the relevant decrees are being prepared. Together with Mykhailo Drapatyi and Yevhenii Khmara, we determined that the new chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be Major General Ihor Skybyuk — a very experienced military officer, with whom the new commander-in-chief defended Ukraine side by side.”

  1. MAMDANI RELEASES EVIL CAPITALIST “PROSCRIPTION” LIST – The Marxist-Islamist Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, has just released what appears to be a de facto proscription list for his foreign-paid street fighters to target. He released a list of property owners, including their names and addresses, who own another home outside the city.

While the information is public, the signal is clear; Attack these people. Mamdani ally and national Democrat Socialists of America co-chair Megan Romer made that clear when she said on Fox News “We will win by making conditions so intolerable to the ruling class that they would rather give in to our demands than live with the disturbance we cause.” Disturbance is a dog whistle for violence. Ruling Class is a dog whistle for white people.

  1. 30-YEAR TREASURY BOND YIELD SPIKES – The 30-Year Treasury Bond Yield hit 5.501%, which was a high not reached since June of 2007. The spike came after U.S. economic data showed a stronger than expected economy, raising concerns there would be more Fed rate increases to combat inflationary pressures. High oil prices have also contributed to the spike. The rate is a benchmark for long-term interest rates and long-term borrowing.
  2. TRUMP REDEPLOYS TARIFF GEOPOLITICS – President Donald Trump appears prepared to utilize tariffs as a geopolitical tool once again. He announced a 50% tariff on Canada that came without warning. He followed up this announcement with more tariffs targeting multiple nations he accuses of practicing “forced labor.” This could indicate the administration believes it has a legal path to apply tariffs that don’t conflict with SCOTUS’ recent ruling on tariffs.
  3. CANADA-US TRADE WAR IS ON – After President Trump announced new tariffs targeting Canada, Mark Carney’s administration has responded by meeting Trump’s tariffs with similar ones of his own. U.S. progressive state media has reported on the trade war decidedly from a pro-Canadian perspective.

During the trade war, Alberta continues to go forward with a referendum to secede from Canada. Canada’s progressive state press have now taken to refuse to refer to 9/11 as a terrorist act, telegraphing open hostility to America.

  1. CLANCY DEFENSE WANTED TO USE LAWFARE TO PERSECUTE LONE HOLD-OUT – The lone-hold-out in the Lindsay Clancy child murder trial faced a lawfare campaign by the Clancy Defense team. Clancy Attorney Keving Reddington was hoping Judge William Sullivan would examine the juror’s private data to determine if he did something inappropriate.

The judge denied the unusual filing This is the same attorney who led a campaign against the holdout juror while deliberations were still going on.

  1. APOCALYPTIC FLASH FLOOD DEVASTATES TIBET AND NEPAL – Major flash floods from a glacial collapse devastated parts of Tibet and Nepal, with Nepal being the hardest hit. The flash floods removed whole villages, hitting them with 30-plus-foot high walls. The alleged current death toll stands at over 1,000, with nearly 4,000 still reported missing as of the end of September 2026.

The true death toll may be much higher. There were scores of foreigners among the dead, including 60-plus Americans. They were there to make Hindu pilgrimages.

  1. DEMOCRATS PROMISE TRUMP IMPEACHMENTS, INVESTIGATIONS WITH 2026 WIN – The Democrats made it clear to the American voter that a midterm win for them will be constant “investigations” of Trump and his allies for us. The Democrats are threatening Cabinet officials, Trump family members, and Trump himself with numerous “criminal” investigations. This is in addition to the impeachment they promise to deliver should they win in the midterms.
  2. ONE IN THREE DEMOCRATS ADMIT TO WANTING TO KILL TRUMP – Nearly one third of Democrats responded yes to a poll question asking them if they’d support President Trump being assassinated to remove him from office. 23% said they’d feel very positive if the President were assassinated, while 8% said they would be somewhat positive. 25% most likely hid their true views, claiming they had no opinion one way or another.

A person who feels neither one way nor another about a political assassination is de facto admitting they approve of violence as a means of political persuasion. No person who disapproves of political violence would respond with no opinion. This poll most likely shows most Democrats (59%) support murder as a means of political persuasion, murder that would not stop with the President.

HEADLINES MISSED

  1. DHS FINDS CHINESE PARTS IN U.S. VOTING MACHINES – Due to a breach in security, the Department of Homeland Security has let states know it will be conducting spot paper ballot audits of U.S. voting machines this November.

The announcement comes following news Chinese parts have shown up in U.S. voting machines, giving the Chinese government potential opportunity to manipulate election results. This is a follow-up on the announcement President Trump made in July about Chinese interference in U.S. elections.

  1. AI IS GOING INTO TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT – A surge in hidden debt among AI giants like Oracle and Meta is setting off alarms in the industry. The hidden debt comes from future payment liabilities for operations not yet online to make money. For instance, leases and property taxes must be paid on sites that are earmarked for databases that haven’t been built or completely built yet. The hidden debt amounts to more than $1.65 trillion.
  2. EU WANTS AI TO ENFORCE ITS WOKE CENSORSHIP LAWS – The EU is ordering AI agents like ChatGPT to enforce its recently enacted (and now in-effect) Online Censorship laws. These laws protect favored classes like Muslims, homosexuals, and people of color from “offensive” language. They also penalize positive expressions of unfavored classes like Christians, heterosexuals, and whites.
  3. PAYING FOR TRUMP’S TRUTH? – President Trump’s Truth Social announced plans to offer corporations the opportunity to see the most influential Truth Social posters’ posts a few seconds before everyone else does. The offer is for institutional clients, specifically banks, hedge funds, and high-frequency traders, only. You pay for a few seconds of insider trading.

The ethicality of the decision is being questioned across the political sphere, as is the legality. The question is this: Is this not simply selling Presidential influence? The product is Presidential power to move markets, not Trump’s wisdom. The interim CEO, Kevin McGurn, said, “Markets are already reacting to Truth Social posts. The Truth API will provide direct, licensed access to the platform’s most market-moving content, while allowing us to monetize our own assets.”

  1. FRANCE UNDER IMMIGRANT ASSAULT – Multiple riots have broken out across France, triggered by immigrants demanding more resources for the schools they don’t pay for. The Islamist immigrants have taken to the streets to burn churches, people, and businesses, as well as assault French women who are caught in the mob rush. French progressives, aligned with Islamists, are assisting the insurrection. The Islamists are also demanding all calls to deport them be cancelled, or the beatings will continue.
  2. 6. CHINA OFICIALLY BECOMES AN ETHNO-NATIONALIST STATE – China’s Ethnic Unity Law took effect July 1, 2026. The law appears to attempt to advance Han ethnic supremacism both within China and globally. Global concerns about the law’s effects on ethnic minorities within China were met by claims from CCP officials that the law was meant to “protect them.”
  3. CANADIANS LEARN FROM CHINESE MEDIA THEIR GOVERNMENT IS COOPERATING MILITARILY WITH THE CCP – Canada is playing a dangerous game, first with its pushback on the Trump tariffs, and now with its cozying up to America’s greatest threat, China. Canadians learned from a Chinese news report that their Prime Minister, Mark Carney, had been secretly negotiating with the CCP to develop a plan for military cooperation between the two countries. The move makes Canada a threat to U.S. security.
  4. CHINA BUILDING AI ROBOT ARMY – China is working on developing an AI-run robot army equipped with humanoid “soldiers” with AI brains. Reuters is claiming that an investigation of their procurement records reveals the army is already being built. They claimed they reviewed “more than 100 Chinese military procurement notices, academic studies, patents, official publications, government records and defense-company materials.” This led them to conclude China is building an AI robot army.
  5. MUSLIM CONGRESSMEMBERS VOTE FOR AMERICA TO PAY THEM 9/11 REPARATIONS – Because of the “Islamophobia” that followed from the 9/11 attacks, Muslim U.S. congress members voted on a resolution demanding reparations from Americans. They reckon the pain of hearing disfavor about their religion was more painful to them than the pain their religion caused on Americans by murdering thousands of our brothers and sisters.
  6. CHINESE BILLIONAIRE IS MAKING FUTURE CCP AMERICANS THANKS TO SCOTUS – Thanks to the Supreme Court’s refusal to defend American sovereignty from foreign invaders, a recluse Chinese billionaire has hundreds of “American” children. Xu Bo is alleged to have been using surrogates to bring to term his embryos on American soil so that his children will be born as American citizens.

Our enemies have children birthed on American soil; these children are then taken to their home country, trained in their home country’s ways, and sent back as “legal” invaders, scouts, saboteurs of the country they have no business being citizens of. After SCOTUS’ ruling that upheld birthright citizenship covers anyone born in America, our enemies have increased their efforts to create future “legal” invaders of America.

  1. SOUTH KOREANS GO NORTH WITH FAKE NEWS LAW – South Korea has passed a new law that penalizes journalists for sharing “fake news.” The Journalists Association of Korea said of the law, “Even if a law’s objective is legitimate, it could erode the foundations of democracy if it’s enforced in a way that discourages the media and ordinary citizens from freely criticizing and scrutinizing those in power.”

This is yet another lurch towards policies more in keeping with North Korea than what South Korea has been after the Korean War.

  1. AI IS NOW CREATING NEW VIRUSES – Researchers at Stanford University were using AI to study pathogens of existing viruses. In the process, they trained AI perhaps too well, for now AI can design viruses. The researchers claim the AI was only intended to be used as “virus surveillance,” but somehow, they went beyond that point. The AI designed 16 new viruses.
  2. CCP HACKERS BREAK INTO MAJOR U.S. GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS – The Department of Justice announced the disruption of a Chinese Communist Party hacking operation that had successfully accessed government networks. Some institutions breached include the Senate, the DOJ, NASA, and the Federal Reserve.

FBI Director Kash Patel announced, “Today we announced the disruption of a global botnet and hacking platform used by Chinese state-sponsored hackers to target U.S. critical infrastructure. These tools were used by PRC cyber actors to hide the origin of their attacks… Today’s action is just the latest technical operation against PRC-sponsored hacking – and in support of President Trump’s Cyber Strategy for America, the FBI is surging efforts to shape adversary behavior and defend the homeland in cyberspace.”

  1. PRO ABORTION STATES FALL BELOW REPLACEMENT RATES – The states that allow abortion are falling below replacement rates for their populations. The 10 states that allow abortion up to birth are doing the worse, with Vermont being the worst of the worst. They have a total fertility rate of 1.27. The TFR needs to be above 2 to meet replacement requirements.
  2. GERMAN POLITICIAN FACES JAIL TIME FOR CHALLENGING “MAP” ACTIVIST – A German politician who challenged a pro-pedophile activist on social media could face two years in prison for committing a hate speech crime. Vanessa Behrendt was challenging an openly “minor attracted person” for advocating adult-child sex on social media. The pedophile reported her comments to German authorities, who opened a “hate speech” investigation against the one challenging public advocacy of child sex.
  3. U.S. PROPS YEN WITH EUROS – The Department of Treasury used its Exchange Stabilization Fund to buy Japanese Yen in the hopes of propping up the dangerously weak currency. This hasn’t happened in 30 years. The U.S. is not using U.S. dollars; it is using Euros.

This action follows a recent previous Treasury intervention to help a weakening Argentinian currency. That deal resulted in the loan being paid back in full (at profit). These interventions signal a shift in Treasury policy from two plus decades of international currency passivity to aggressive interventionism.

  1. ANTHROPIC SAVES THE WORLD AGAIN AND AGAIN – Anthropic is claiming it has prevented multiple attempts by bad actors to use Claude AI to execute terrorist actions. The attempts included kamikaze drone swarms and biological weapons.

They posted on their X account, “We’re publishing our most detailed threat intelligence report to date. It covers how people tried to misuse Claude—for cyberattacks, influence operations, surveillance, biology, and building weapons—and how we found and stopped them. We disrupted every operation in the report…”

  1. FORMER U.S. CABINET MEMBER SERVED CCP WHILE IN OFFICE – Elaine Chao, a former Bush and Trump-era Cabinet official, is alleged to have been working for a CCP-controlled agency while also serving in the U.S. government. The organization she worked for was the United Front Work Department (UFWD).

A Congressional Select Committee memo claims “United front work damages U.S. interests through legal and illegal technology transfer, surveillance of Chinese diaspora communities, promotion of favorable narratives about the PRC through ostensibly independent voices, and the neutralization or harassment of critics of the CCP.”

  1. CANADA’S NEW HATE SPEECH LAW IS ALREADY TRIGGERING POLICE VISITS – The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms is reporting numerous Canadians have already been contacted by police about their social media posts in response to the new “Combatting Hate Act” becoming law. Currently, the UK is number one in social media arrests worldwide, which is worth noting because Canada’s anti-speech laws are similar to the UK’s anti-speech laws.
  2. FCC LIFTS LIMITS ON LOCAL TV STATION OWNERSHIP – The Federal Trade Commission voted 2-1 to lift FCC restrictions on local tv station ownership. The ruling will allow companies to own local stations that cover more than 39% of the U.S. They can now also own more than one tv station in a local market.
  3. PROGRESSIVES KILL COLLEGE INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM PROJECT – The Iowa Legislature created the Center for Intellectual Freedom at the University of Iowa. It has an advisory board overseeing the launch of the Center. Now, nearly half of the advisory council has resigned, claiming the terms the university was setting would kill the legislative intent of the Center.

One member, Richard Lowery, wrote, “The legislature created the center in 2025 to teach and research the ideas behind the American constitutional order and to promote free speech, civil discourse, and intellectual diversity on campus — and on the terms the regents have now set, it cannot do what the law created it to do.”

  1. SCIENTISTS CALL FOR A 50% REDUCTION OF HUMANITY – A group of scientists released a public statement calling for humans to reduce their numbers by 4 billion by the year 2200.

They wrote, “We show that slowing and gradually reversing population growth to ∼4 billion or less by 2200, while moderating per capita impacts, is the path toward sustainability. Global environmental problems are caused by people, nothing else. The more of us there are, the greater our overall economic demands and the greater the associated environmental problems.”

  1. THAILAND UNDER ISLAMIST ATTACK IN THE SOUTH – Thailand’s Prime Minister held an emergency meeting after a coordinated series of attacks by Islamist terrorists in the nation’s southern-most province. The attacks come at a time when Thailand is still dealing with a major flood crisis in the north. There were 51 reported attacks that included bombings, arson, and property damage. No security or police forces were targeted. The attacks appear to be aimed at damaging infrastructure and causing disruption.
  2. VIOLENCE TO STOP FREE SPEECH IS BECOMING A COLLEGE VALUE – Foundation For Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) released a poll that revealed 30% of surveyed college students approve of violence to stop free speech rarely, which is down from last year’s high of 34%. However, of that group, half (or 15% total) said yes to violence to stop fee speech “sometimes,” not just rarely; 3% chose “always.”
  3. NEW YORK SELLS SUICIDES – On the day Progressive New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced plans to pass euthanasia legislation, a company named Quietus began selling suicide. The company offered this $12,00 deal to New Yorkers through the progressive state press: “Imagine that instead of taking medication to fend off death from a terminal illness, a person could pay to take a concoction that will end their life in minutes — giving them full control of when and where they die.

“… Before their scheduled death, patients get two medical evaluations and a mental health screening, as well as a prescription for the drugs needed, including lethal doses of cardiac medication, that will end their life. The $12,000 cost for the patient covers all of this and help for the grieving family after their passing.”

  1. CANADA FINES DOCTOR FOR NOT TRANSITIONING CHILD – Canada’s British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal has given a Christian doctor a $28,000 fine. The reason for the fine is because the doctor has refused to prescribe puberty blocker medicine to a teenager. The Doctor had clearly informed the patient and her mother, which he documented in his records.

He wrote “I noticed that the injection is for gender re-assignment as patient is already in the waiting room with (her) mother. I called mother into the room and explained to her that I would not be able to give the injection. Based on my religious belief and cultural background.”

  1. POPE PROMOTES PRO-LGBTQ PRIEST TO BISHOP – In another sign of the erosion of the Catholic church’s leadership, Pope Leo XIV has promoted a pro-LGBTQ, anti-church priest to Bishop. Father Mario Leon Dorado has been outspoken in his support to “bless” “irregular” couples (meaning homosexuals), as well as calling on the church to fade away the way John the Baptist did when Christ was baptized.

He declared in 2022, “There is the ecclesiological challenge: the Church as a sacrament at the service of the Kingdom of God. The Church is called to disappear so that the Kingdom may grow, in analogy with the experience of John the Baptist…. The experience of John the Baptist is the experience of the Church.”

  1. UK MIGHT BE OVER? – Leaders of Scotland, Wales, and Ireland are calling for a breakup of the UK. The leaders of these three nations are hoping to jettison London in favor of the EU. Scottish First Minister John Swinney, Welsh First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth and Northern Ireland First Minister Michelle O’Neill all signed a declaration that claimed, “Westminster is coming to an end.”
  2. SCIENTISTS SHOW HUMAN SPERM COULD BE GROWN IN A LAB – The growing human male infertility rate could be offset by growing human sperm in a laboratory’s mini-testes. A group of scientists published a report in the peer-reviewed journal “Cell Stem Cell” claiming to show they are close to growing human sperm in a lab. Researchers are hoping to convert stem cells to sperm cells by exposing them to chemical signals that will do the transforming.

From the report, “… the researchers combined the human or monkey germ cells with supportive cells from mouse fetuses. Together, these cells self-organized into a three-dimensional structure called a xenogeneic reconstituted testis… What grew in this setup closely resembled both the appearance and gene activity patterns of real human germ cells during the early stages of sperm development.”

  1. SURROGATE SUED BY GAY COUPLE FOR KEEPING BABY – An unborn child with a cleft lip faced abortion in Canada if a gay couple had their way. The child was living in the womb of a surrogate mother, who refused to abort the child despite the gay couple’s demands. The lawsuit was filed in Ontario, Canada’s Superior Court. The woman gave birth to the child; now the gay couple is seeking monetary compensation after failing to compel her to murder the unborn child.

The gay couple wrote the surrogate mother, “Considering that medical tests indicate that the fetus has, or is likely to have, a genetic, chromosomal or other abnormality or defect, and in accordance with article 8.5 (a) of our surrogacy agreement … we want to inform you of our wish that the pregnancy be terminated. Although very difficult, this decision is free and informed.” The child was born healthy.

PEOPLE ADVANCE

  1. TRUMP SECURES GREENLAND – President Trump announced he has secured a deal with the Netherlands that effectively gives the U.S. security oversight on the island. The deal assures no enemy of the United States can gain a foothold on Greenland soil.
  2. TRUMP NO-SIGNS DIGITAL DOLLAR BAN – Thanks to President Donald Trump’s non-signature, America is under a state digital dollar ban at least until 2030. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act was allowed to become law simply through the President’s non-signing. Within that law is a provision that prohibits the U.S. from developing a U.S. digital dollar at least until 2030.
  3. ISLAMIST IMMIGRATION DOWN 96% SINCE 2024 – The number of immigrants coming from Islamist nations has plummeted under President Donald Trump’s watch. Immigration from Islamist nations has dropped 96% since the President took office.
  4. GERMANY’S PRO-GERMAN PARTY WINS STATE ELECTION – The only pro-German political party in Germany, the AfD, won 44% of the vote in a Saxony-Anhalt state election. The party fell just short of a majority for the state government, having captured 39 of the 83 seats in the State assembly. They fell just three seats short of a majority. The response from the “Planvasion of Germany” parties was to call for the AfD to be banned.
  5. TRUMP DOUBLES U.S. OIL RESERVE WITH ONE DEAL – President Trump has announced an historic deal with Venezuela that secures 65 million barrels of Venezuela’s oil reserves, which more than doubles the U.S. oil reserves.

The President posted on Truth Social, “The United States of America has just entered into an Agreement with the Country of Venezuela on, THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY!… This Historic Transaction MORE THAN DOUBLES American Oil Reserves, greatly increases our Oil Supply, and will substantially lower Gas Prices for all Americans, long into the future, while helping to continue to set Venezuela on a course toward Tremendous Success and Great Prosperity”

  1. EUTHANASIA FAILS AGAIN IN BRITIAN – Another attempt to legalize euthanasia in Britian has failed after a 286 to 270 vote defeated the latest bill. The legislation began the practice of euthanasia the same as many other laws, targeting only those with minimal diagnosed time to live. Later, the expansions of the eligible comes.
  2. FRAUD EXPOSED IN OBAMACARE LEADS TO THOUSANDS OF CANCELLATIONS – Vice President JD Vance announced 750,000 fraudulent Obamacare accounts have been removed from the rolls, saving taxpayers $2.2 billion yearly. “We’re actually making sure that the people receiving Obamacare subsidies are actually entitled to receive them,” Vance declared.

The progressive state press has left out the fraudulent claim behind those 750,000 being removed from the rolls. Instead, they simply call the removal of fraudulent accounts “healthcare cuts,” implying qualified American citizens are being removed from the rolls. This false narrative is EXACTLY the same one as the Democratic Party.

  1. 110,000 LESS FOREIGN STUDENTS EXPECTED NEXT COLLEGE SEMESTER – Thanks to several factors, including new VISA restrictions, the amount of foreign college students attending U.S. schools will be 110,000 less than last year. Colleges will have to rely more on Americans to sell enrollment than foreigners, which might incentivize them to drop their anti-American ideologies.

The progressive state press has portrayed this as a deprivation for American universities. The counter to that claim is that universities primarily serving foreign interests are NOT American ones, regardless of their physical location. This is the exact narrative the Democratic Party advances.

  1. JUDGE KILLS DELAWARE’S “GHOST GUN” BAN – U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika struck down Delaware’s ghost-gun ban, which effectively bans the constitutional rights of Americans to make their own guns.

The judge ruled, “… An untraceable firearm is an Arm under the Second Amendment.  It is, after all, a firearm, and even under the narrowest reading of ‘Arms,’ ‘all firearms constitute [] ‘arms,’ whether serialized or not. Moreover, the evidence here shows that untraceable firearms are customarily used for offensive or defensive purposes such as self-defense…”

  1. LE PEN STILL CONVICTED, BUT CAN RUN IN 2027 – Marine Le Pen, the leader of France’s National Rally Party, had her embezzlement conviction upheld. However, her eligibility to run for public office has been reduced in time for her to run in the expected 2027 election.

Her party currently leads in the polls. Le Pen must face house arrest, an ankle monitor, and curfews, to run for Prime Minister. She had previously claimed she would not run under those conditions. Now, it appears she has changed her mind. Since the announcement, her party has increased their lead in the polls.

  1. FEDERAL COURT UPHOLDS INDIANA’S LAW OUTLAWING TRANSGENDER SURGERY FOR KIDS – U.S. District Judge James Patrick Hanlon upheld Indiana’s law prohibiting transgender surgeries on children. Indiana’s Attorney General declared, “We have won this critical fight against radicals who would otherwise impose this horrific practice on our kids for ideological and financial reasons. My office will keep standing between our children and those who would sacrifice their health, innocence, and well-being on the altar of woke gender ideology.”
  2. ISLAMIST PLANE ATTACK FOILED BY BRAVE ISRAELIS – An Islamist attempted to hijack a plane and crash it into an Israeli airport, hoping to kill as many Jews as he could. He was the co-pilot of a FlyDubai flight. He stabbed his co-pilot multiple times but was detained by Israeli passengers while the plane was still in a nose-dive.

The media reported this as a dispute between the two pilots, protecting the “Islam is the religion of peace” narrative. It has since come out that he was, indeed, an Islamist engaged in an act of terror against Israel and Jews in general.

  1. TRUMP PLAN LEADS TO HISTORIC RX PRICE DROP – President Donald Trump’s efforts to bring down the cost of prescription drugs have led to an historic drop in drugs that hasn’t been seen in over 60 years. The cost of prescription drugs dropped 3.1% in 12 months, starting from this past July.

White House Spokesman Kush Desai stated, “No president in modern history has been able to drastically reduce prescription drug prices across the board except for President Trump. This is a direct result of the President’s willingness to push the envelope with bold policies that actually put Americans and America First.”

  1. SCIENTISTS IDENTIFY TRIGGER RECEPTOR THAT COULD CURE OSTEOPOROSIS – Researchers at Leipzig University in Germany have developed a new therapy for osteoporosis. The researchers claim they have identified a protein receptor named GPR133 that could be triggered to rebuild lost bone density in osteoporosis patients.

Professor Ines Liebscher, lead investigator of the study, said “If this receptor is impaired by genetic changes, mice show signs of loss of bone density at an early age – similar to osteoporosis in humans. Using the substance AP503, which was only recently identified via a computer-assisted screen as a stimulator of GPR133, we were able to significantly increase bone strength in both healthy and osteoporotic mice.”

  1. JUDGE KILLS UNIVERSITY’S “DEAD NAMING” RULE – U.S. District Court Judge Fred Slaughter has halted a University of California policy that would penalize students for calling transgendered students by their born names. This is called “dead naming,” calling them by the name of their “dead selves.” The policy equated “dead naming” to “sexual harassment.”

He also halted their policy of punishing students for not using other students’ preferred pronouns. The school called this action “harassment,” which effectively punishes dissenting belief from the gender fluid ideology. The judge ruled that “there is no categorical ‘harassment exception’ to the First Amendment.” He stated the students “have demonstrated a credible threat to enforcement.”

  1. CHRISTIAN WINS BACK RIGHT TO ADOPT – The Oregon Department of Human Services had to change its standards for adoption after a Christian widow sued them. Jessica Bates sued the state after she was denied the right to adopt a child in their system for refusing to affirm the rainbow ideology. The state settled with Bates, removing the conditions of adoption that demand LGBTQ affirmation. They also had to pay Bates’ court costs.
  2. PIDDINGTON SECEDES FROM BRITIAN – The village of Piddington voted to secede from the United Kingdom as a response to the government’s plan to overwhelm the tiny village with a flood of subsidized invaders. The vote passed with a 92% supermajority. The referendum was held on September 15, the date Britian celebrates its victory over the German Luftwaffe in 1940.
  3. THANKS TO TRUMP, MARINE COMES HOME FROM RUSSIA – After spending more than four years in a Russian prison, U.S. Marine Robert Gilman has been released. His release came thanks to negotiations between the Trump administration and the Putin regime. While the Biden administration negotiated a deal to release WNBA player Britney Griner from a Russian prison, they made no effort to negotiate the release of this same U.S. Marine.
  4. DNA SALVATION FOR DATA CENTERS – A research team from Penn State has claimed they’ve developed a way to use DNA as memory storage. This memory storage would use 100x less energy than current memory storage uses. This could significantly reduce the resource demand on AI Data centers. The findings were published in Advanced Publishing Materials.

One of the researchers, Kavya S. Keremane, stated “Biology and electronics are different domains. Bridging these two fields required developing an entirely new materials platform that allows them to function seamlessly together. By combining the information storage capabilities of DNA with the exceptional electronic properties of perovskite semiconductors, we created a bio-hybrid system that fundamentally changes how low-power memory devices can be designed.”

  1. CALIFORNIA LOSES NATIONAL CAR PART CONTROL – A new rule change from the EPA effectively ends California’s stranglehold on the car parts industry. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced “Americans should not be forced to solely rely on California to certify aftermarket products. Starting today, Americans can trust that products certified by SEMA meet federal requirements and can be used to repair vehicles.

“The Tampering Policy explains how a person may demonstrate that an aftermarket product does not adversely affect automotive emissions by documenting that an appropriate vehicle equipped with the product will pass the same emissions tests used by the original equipment manufacturer to certify the vehicle under the Clean Air Act.”

A. GLOBAL OUTLOOK

  1. BIDEN’S DOJ STALKED PARENTS OPPOSED TO WOKE SCHOOLS – Parents who dared speak out against progressive policies in American public schools were tracked and harassed by the FBI. If you dared go to a school board meeting and speak out against pro-transgender policies, or gay porn in school libraries, Biden’s FBI viewed you as a national security risk.

U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon stated, “Under the Biden Administration, parents were the enemy. They were labeled as terrorists, targeted, and investigated by a government weaponized against them. That era is over. The Trump Administration is acting with unprecedented energy and purpose to restore parents’ natural rights as the primary protectors of their children.”

  1. JACK SMITH WAS SPYING ON EVERYONE – A new document drop by the White House Government Transparency Task Force has revealed “special prosecutor” Jack Smith was spying on almost everyone in the Trump inner circle, including his lawyers. He did this by monitoring the phone of the President’s key administrative organizer and coordinator, Susie Wiles. She is currently President Trump’s Chief of Staff.
  2. SHARIA GAINING FAVOR AMONG AMERICAN YOUTH – Thanks in large part to great efforts by progressive-controlled government schools promoting Islam and excoriating Christianity, a new poll reveals 4 in 10 young Americans have a favorable view of Sharia, Islamic Law.

The poll indicts the public education system, which has fallen to insurrectionist progressives. These “teachers” are more aligned with Chairman Mao and Osama Bin Laden than they are with George Washington and Jesus Christ.

  1. FRANCE ISLAMIST-PROGRESSIVE RIOTS CONTINUE – Under the guise of “education reform,” which is mostly demanding more resources and creating policies aligned with the Progressive-Islamist alliance, riots across France in most major cities continue unabated. So far, more than 5,000 people have been arrested.
  2. IN WAKE OF MASS “MIGRANT INVASION,” SPAIN’S PM FORCED TO CALL SNAP ELECTIONS – Spaniards are joining the growing national protests against their country’s policies of open borders and the state’s attempt to destroy their national identity. The pressure is mounting on the regime in power, the progressives. They rule under their current Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, who rules thanks to a coalition of leftists.

His own party fared worse than the pro-Spanish party in the last election (which finished first but was kept out of power by the far-left coalition). Now, Sanchez must call a Snap election before any hope of winning another election (if he even makes it to that point) dies as the resistance to his Spain-hating policies grows.

  1. SOMALI TEEN PLOTTED MASS MURDER IN MALL OF AMERICA – The FBI caught another wanna-be terrorist before they could act by first seemingly enabling their actions. Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud, an 18-year-old Somali American, was arrested and accused of plotting to kill Americans in the Mall of America. He was going to use an AK-47 and 200 rounds of ammo. The teen purchased the inert AK-47, and the ammo, from the FBI. This is how the arrest was made.

The DOJ released a statement that, in part, exclaimed, “The FBI rendered the AK-47 rifle inert prior to the transaction. During the sale of the firearm and ammunition, Mohamud reaffirmed his plan to use the firearm and ammunition to shoot people at the Mall of America”

  1. CCP AGENT CAUGHT SPYING ON TAIWANESE AMERICANS – The DOJ has arrested Wanying “Heather” Zeng, 34, under charges she was spying on Taiwanese Americans for the Chinese government. Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg declared, “The central allegation here – that Zhang, at the behest of the People’s Republic of China, covertly surveilled relatives of a high-ranking foreign government official in the United States – is deeply troubling…”

U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli added, “Ms. Zhang is charged with acting at the direction of Chinese government officials to spy on the family of a senior Taiwanese official here in the United States. She violated our laws and will be held accountable in our courts. We will aggressively investigate and prosecute illegal foreign operations on American soil.”

  1. HAMAS SUPPORTERS MARCH ON OCTOBER 7 – Hamas supporters in London decided to march on the 3rd anniversary of the October 7 slaughter of innocent Israelis by the organization they are marching for. The march was not seen as racist by British police, despite it clearly sending a message to the Jews that they’re still next. It is an embrace of the slaughter of the Jewish race, nothing more.

B. HEADLINES MISSED

  1. ANTHROPIC WANTS TO MERGE WITH THE PRESIDENT – Anthropic has launched a “presidential engagement” project in preparation for the 2028 Presidential election. They plan on engaging with major U.S. presidential candidates on AI policy to determine their political strategy. From this, their political funding strategy would follow. It’s a transparent “buy influence” program being advertised in advance ahead of the 2028 elections. It is projected Anthropic will be a $2 trillion plus venture. With no limits on campaign finance, this will make Anthropic an instant President maker.
  2. UK SUPPORTS GLOBAL HATE SPEECH CRACKDOWN – The UK is coming out in support of a UN resolution demanding worldwide action to prevent hate speech. The Burnham administration declared, “… we, the UK, thank the African Group for bringing forward this resolution and pay particular tribute to South Africa for their principled leadership in keeping the fight against racism high on the international agenda.”
  3. CHINA ENTERS LAOS – China has sent a military convoy into the border nation of Laos, which is raising concerns of Laotians who have bad memories of colonization from world powers. The military is being moved into a permanent “Training Center,” which is raising even more red flags among the local population.
  4. WOMAN ALMOST SUICIDED BY CANADA FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO COOK – A woman who was depressed because she felt she could no longer cook for her family was approved for suicide by Canadian doctors. Fortunately, she was talked out of it, but not by the doctors, who may have wanted to profit from her organs.

Canada’s embrace of euthanasia, which was supposed to be a measure of last resort for the truly terminally and pain-ridden ill, has led it to expand the reasons people can apply for state-assisted suicide. We can add to that growing list not being able to cook for your family. Now, even euthanasia supporters are raising the alarm on Canada’s seemingly careless reliance on suicide to cure its social and economic woes.

C. PEOPLE ADVANCE

  1. TRUMP TARGETS MAJOR U.S. CORPORATIONS IN FOREIGN VISA CRACKDOWN – Vice President JD Vance announced the Trump administration’s new restrictions on the H-1B Visa program. These new restrictions effectively end U.S. corporate reliance on “cheap foreign labor” for high-level positions, which effectively freeze Americans out of higher potential seats of power.
  2. CNN FALLS TO MAGA? – The merger deal between Paramount and Warner Brothers has now officially gone through, meaning a Trump-supporting family, the Ellisons, OFFICIALLY hold the reins of power of CNN, the progressive state cable news flagship.

The current head of CNN, Mark Thompson, said of the merger, “First, I’m convinced that from David Ellison on down, Paramount Skydance leadership really does believe in news alongside entertainment as a top strategic opportunity for our new company… And second, having now spoken to them at length of the topic, I have real confidence that they both understand and will fully support the principle and practice of the kind of independent news that CNN has always stood for.”

  1. AS FOREIGN APPLICATIONS DRY UP, UNIVERSITIES LOWER TUITION FOR AMERICANS – After a dramatic reduction in foreign customers for U.S. universities, the consequence for Americans is lower tuition. Universities needing American customers are now lowering their tuition prices to get them. Several private schools struggling to exist are now lowering their tuition by 40-50% to win back American customers.
  2. PASTOR FREED AFTER BEING ARRESTED FOR HAVING 24/7 CHURCH – An Ohio Pastor has seen his conviction for opening his church 24/7 overturned by the Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals. The defendant, Pastor Chris Avell, faced “fire code charges” and jail time for keeping his church open 24/7.

His counsel, Ryan Gardner, said of the ruling, “Pastor Chris has the constitutional right to operate his church free from the government imposing draconian fire code regulations. We hope that this latest ruling will put an end to the years-long legal battle that Pastor Chris has endured. We are grateful to all the work of our co-counsels in this case.”

  1. DOJ TO LET SUPPRESSOR RULING STAND – The Department of Justice has informed congress it will not be appealing a lower court decision that struck down federal regulations on firearms suppressors. The ruling only applies to the states in the jurisdiction of the court.

A. GLOBAL OUTLOOK

  1. SCOTUS ENABLES MASS MAILER VOTER FRAUD – The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that a lower court ruling suspending President Trump’s XO attempting to make Mass mailer voting more accountable will stand, at least until AFTER the 2026 election. The ruling effectively enables Democrats to slow-walk close races in their favor using reserve “ballots” “registered” to the dead and non-citizens still on their uncleansed voter rolls.
  2. IRAN’S ENDURING DEFIANCE LEAVES TRUMP QUESTIONING WHAT TO DO NEXT – President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social a problem he is considering, “Do I Want to Go In and Annihilate Them or Do I Not?”

Internally, there are increasing reports of uprisings, and government “officials” abandoning their positions, but so far, no massive uprising has taken place. With congress recently passing a resolution aimed at stopping the Iran war, the President might have a limited window to operate in, one that needs to end with a pro-American government.

  1. TEAM BIDEN APPROVED GOP PHONE SPYING – A report from the U.S. House Judiciary Committee reveals a high-ranking member of the Biden DOJ knew in advance of Jack Smith’s unconstitutional spying on members of congress. The report claims, “beginning in May 2022, prosecutors under the leadership of U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves issued several subpoenas demanding telephone toll records for Members of Congress to identify individuals with whom they spoke around major votes in Congress . . .”
  2. HALF A MILLION DEAD RUSSIANS FOR A SCRATCH OF EARTH – A British military intelligence report is alleging Russia has lost half a million Russian soldiers in the war since 2023. During that same time, Russia has only gained 2% more ground than it had before.

Air Chief Marshal Sir Rich Knighton, chief of the UK armed forces, commented, “I think these numbers illustrate clearly the senseless and futile waste of human life for such little progress, and against such an illegitimate aim of President Putin.”

  1. SCOTUS RESTORES SOME VOTER ID PLUMBLINING FOR TRUMP – By a vote of 6-3, SCOTUS empowered President Trump’s administration to resume using Social Security records to confirm only citizens are voting in the election. The three progressive state judges voted against the decision. The ruling removes a lower court injunction against the administration.
  2. NOTE: Be sure to read our special October 30 MIA Monthly issue where we will give you a detailed report on the midterm elections, including a predictive analysis.
  3. 30-YEAR TREASURY BOND YIELD SPIKES – The 30-Year Treasury Bond Yield hit 5.501%, which was a high not reached since June of 2007. The spike came after U.S. economic data showed a stronger than expected economy, raising concerns there would be more Fed rate increases to combat inflationary pressures. High oil prices have also contributed to the spike. The rate is a benchmark for long-term interest rates and long-term borrowing.
  4. CLANCY DEFENSE WANTS TO USE LAWFARE TO PERSECUTE LONE HOLD-OUT – The lone-hold-out in the Lindsay Clancy child murder trial is now facing a lawfare campaign by the Clancy Defense team. Clancy Attorney Keving Reddington is hoping Judge William Sullivan will examine the juror’s private data to determine if he did something inappropriate.

The judge has yet to rule on the unusual filing. This is the same attorney who led a campaign against the holdout juror while deliberations were still going on.

  1. DEMOCRATS PROMISE TRUMP IMPEACHMENTS, INVESTIGATIONS WITH 2026 WIN – The Democrats made it clear to the American voter that a midterm win for them will be constant “investigations” of Trump and his allies for us. The Democrats are threatening Cabinet officials, Trump family members, and Trump himself with numerous “criminal” investigations. This is in addition to the impeachment they promise to deliver should they win in the midterms.
  2. ONE IN THREE DEMOCRATS ADMIT TO WANTING TO KILL TRUMP – Nearly one third of Democrats responded yes to a poll question asking them if they’d support President Trump being assassinated to remove him from office. 23% said they’d feel very positive if the President were assassinated, while 8% said they would be somewhat positive. 25% most likely hid their true views, claiming they had no opinion one way or another.

A person who feels neither one way nor another about a political assassination is de facto admitting they approve of violence as a means of political persuasion. No person who disapproves of political violence would respond with no opinion. This poll most likely shows most Democrats (59%) support murder as a means of political persuasion, murder that would not stop with the President.

  1. HOUTHIS OPEN RED SEA FRONT, TRUMP NEGOTIATES – The Houthis have been taking islands, ports, and Red Sea coast territory in a bid to rescue Iran from U.S. onslaught. The new territory enables them to attack vessels traversing the Red Sea (which they’ve already done). The Saudis have responded by forming an army to remove them. President Trump is in talks with the Houthis, and the Saudis have called for a two-week ceasefire.
  2. DATA CENTERS, NOT AMERICAN RULE OF LAW, CENTER OF MIDTERMS – The central issue in a majority of contested U.S. House and Senate Races is becoming Data Centers. At a time when one party, the Democratic Party, is looking to convert America to the Progressive State, Americans are more concerned over data centers than losing their constitutional rights.

Republicans find themselves on the losing end of this issue with one candidate, Senator John Husted of Ohio, reflecting the new Republican strategy, join the fight against the data centers. He said “They’ve earned that backlash. They haven’t been as forthcoming about the benefits that will come in terms of local jobs and construction worker jobs and reduced property taxes, and they haven’t offered things like paying the energy bills for local communities, for the power plants they build.”

  1. ANTHROPIC WANTS PROGRESSIVE EXTREMISTS TO DEFINE THE FUTURE OF AI – Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has picked a panel of far-left, “woke” extremists to “protect” us from the evil AI apocalypse the progressive state media has been pushing. The “board” consists of children of wealthy progressives.

The guiding principle of the group is “Effective Altruism,” which requires a finite definition of value anti-progressives are sure to be existentially threatened by. For instance, this will place abortion in this hierarchy of value as a highly desired altruistic outcome and opposition to abortion will be placed in its hierarchy of value as being anathema to altruism, and thus a criminal activity.

  1. FED RAISES RATES – The Federal Reserve rose interest rates for the first time in six years, citing concerns over the inflation rate continuing to exceed 2%. The board voted unanimously to raise rates and signaled more rate increases were coming. President Trump pushed back against the decision, but stopped short of criticizing the Federal Reserve Chair, Kevin Warsh. President Trump nominated Warsh for the position he now holds.
  2. CANADA COURTS THE EU – After the European Union floated the idea of Canada becoming an “associate” member of their Union, Canada’s PM Mark Carney enthusiastically embraced the idea. This followed Carney’s exposed secret collusion with the Chinese military, making Canada a potential base of operation for her current enemy, China, and her fast-becoming future enemy, Europe. Canada is becoming a security risk for the United States.
  3. ISRAEL DEMANDS UK HAND OVER FALKLANDS – After the UK made moves to sanction Israel over its occupation of “Palestinian” territories, Israel has countered by supporting Argentina’s claims on the Falkland Islands.

Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel ’s minister for national security, posted on X, “It’s time for the State of Israel to publicly recognize that the Malvinas Islands are Argentine territory under occupation, which the British violently steal from the Argentine people. The British are not content with merely occupying the territory; they also carry out oil drilling there and steal the money from the Argentine people. I call upon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to recognize Argentina’s sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands and to impose sanctions on Great Britain as long as the occupation continues.”

  1. ISLAMIST FOREIGNERS TAKE BACK SWEDEN – Thanks overwhelmingly to the “migrant” vote, largely dominated by Islamists from the Middle East, Sweden’s pro-Sweden government was defeated by 3 parliament seats. This means the anti-Sweden left has taken power by the slimmest of margins thanks almost entirely to the foreigner Islamist vote. Sweden has fallen, for now.
  2. DEFIANT CLANCY JUROR NOW IN HIDING – The now-doxed Lindsay Clancy juror who prevented the defendant from escaping criminal justice is now in hiding, along with his family. The juror, Michael Desronvil, has remained defiant, claiming he voted on the merits of the case, which showed Clancy was guilty of first-degree murder, of strangling her three children to death.

His family has received numerous death threats. He has acquired a lawyer as he prepares to sue the press and the jurors responsible for both doxing him and committing slander against him.

  1. DID NETANYAHU KNOW? – Ahead of the Israeli national elections, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is being accused of knowing about October 7 in advance. The accusation comes from former Israel Defense Forces (IDF) chief of staff Dan Halutz. He accused the Prime Minister of ignoring and concealing warning signs that led to the “successful” assault by Hamas terrorists.

Netanyahu accused Halutz of lying. Halutz doubled down, claiming he was involved with numerous conversations that validate this claim, and that from those conversations he was convinced Netanyahu knew more than he said he did.

  1. MASSACHUSETTS KIDNAPS CHILD TO TRANSITION HER – A Roman Catholic couple lost their child to the state when they refused to transition her to a boy. Algonquin Regional High School in Southborough socially transitioned her to a “boy” without her parents’ consent. When the parents rightly contested this illegal activity, Massachusetts state authorities chose to kidnap the child instead of prosecuting school officials.

Child grooming and violating parents’ rights is protected criminal action by the state of Massachusetts. The girl is now 17 and being unconstitutionally confined in a boys’ dormitory. The state is giving her birth control pills and psychiatric drugs while it prepares to mutilate her body.

  1. RUSSIA LITERALLY CONNECTS TO NORTH KOREA NOW – Russia and North Korea have cut the rope on a new bridge that links their two territories together. North Korean’s State media reported, the bridge was built and opened to “ensure the safe passage of various kinds of vehicles and personnel traffic.”

It also claims the bridge is “a guarantee for building up and reinforcing an important infrastructure for economic cooperation between the two countries and revitalizing multi-faceted cooperation including human exchange, tourism and commodity circulation.”

B. HEADLINES MISSED

  1. CANADIANS LEARN FROM CHINESE MEDIA THEIR GOVERNMENT IS COOPERATING MILITARILY WITH CCP – Canada is playing a dangerous game, first with its pushback on the Trump tariffs, and now with its cozying up to America’s greatest threat, China. Canadians learned from a Chinese news report their Prime Minister, Mark Carney, had been secretly negotiating with the CCP to develop a plan for military cooperation between the two countries. The move makes Canada a threat to U.S. security.
  2. CHINA BUILDING AI ROBOT ARMY – China is working on developing an AI-run robot army equipped with humanoid “soldiers” with AI brains. Reuters is claiming that an investigation of their procurement records reveal the army is already being built. They claimed they reviewed “more than 100 Chinese military procurement notices, academic studies, patents, official publications, government records and defense-company materials.” This led them to conclude China is building an AI robot army.
  3. MUSLIM CONGRESSMEMBERS VOTE FOR AMERICA TO PAY THEM 9/11 REPARATIONS – Because of the “Islamophobia” that followed from the 9/11 attacks, Muslim U.S. congress members voted on a resolution demanding reparations from Americans. They reckon the pain of hearing the truth about their religion of terror and pedophilia was more painful than the thousands of deaths their religion caused on 9/11, and continues to cause worldwide, even as we report this today. For that, they want us to pay.
  4. CHINESE BILLIONAIRE MAKING FUTURE CCP AMERICANS THANKS TO SCOTUS – Thanks to the Supreme Court’s refusal to defend American sovereignty from foreign invaders, a recluse Chinese billionaire has hundreds of “American” children. Xu Bo is alleged to have been using surrogates to bring to term his embryos on American soil so that his children will be born as American citizens.

Our enemies have children birthed on American soil. These children are then taken to their home country, trained in their home country’s ways, and sent back as “legal” invaders, scouts, saboteurs of the country they have no business being citizens of. After the SCOTUS’ ruling that upheld birthright citizenship covers anyone born in America, our enemies have increased their efforts to create future “legal” invaders of America.

  1. GERMAN POLITICIAN FACES JAIL TIME FOR CHALLENGING “MAP” ACTIVIST – A German politician who challenged a pro-pedophile activist on social media could face two years in prison for committing a hate speech crime. Vanessa Behrendt was challenging an openly “minor attracted person” for advocating adult-child sex on social media. The pedophile reported her comments to German authorities, who opened a “hate speech” investigation against the one challenging public advocacy of child sex.
  2. ANTHROPIC SAVES THE WORLD AGAIN AND AGAIN – Anthropic is claiming it has prevented multiple attempts by bad actors to use Claude AI to execute terrorist actions. The attempts included kamikaze drone swarms and biological weapons.

They posted on their X account, “We’re publishing our most detailed threat intelligence report to date. It covers how people tried to misuse Claude—for cyberattacks, influence operations, surveillance, biology, and building weapons—and how we found and stopped them. We disrupted every operation in the report…”

  1. FORMER U.S. CABINET MEMBER SERVED CCP WHILE IN OFFICE – Elaine Chao, a former Bush and Trump-era Cabinet official, is alleged to have been working for a CCP-controlled agency while also serving in the U.S. government. The organization she worked for was the United Front Work Department (UFWD).

A Congressional Select Committee memo claims “United front work damages U.S. interests through legal and illegal technology transfer, surveillance of Chinese diaspora communities, promotion of favorable narratives about the PRC through ostensibly independent voices, and the neutralization or harassment of critics of the CCP.”

  1. PROGRESSIVES KILL COLLEGE INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM PROJECT – The Iowa Legislature created the Center for Intellectual Freedom at the University of Iowa. It has an advisory board overseeing the launch of the Center. Now, nearly half of the advisory council has resigned, claiming the terms the university was setting would kill the legislative intent of the Center.

One member, Richard Lowery, wrote, “The legislature created the center in 2025 to teach and research the ideas behind the American constitutional order and to promote free speech, civil discourse, and intellectual diversity on campus — and on the terms the regents have now set, it cannot do what the law created it to do.”

  1. VIOLENCE TO STOP FREE SPEECH IS BECOMING A COLLEGE VALUE – Foundation For Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) released a poll that revealed 30% of surveyed college students approve of violence to stop free speech rarely, which is down from last year’s high of 34%. However, of that group, half (or 15% total) said yes to violence to stop fee speech “sometimes,” not just rarely; 3% chose “always.”
  2. NEW YORK SELLS SUICIDES – On the day Progressive New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced plans to pass euthanasia legislation, a company named Quietus began selling suicide. The company offered this $12,00 deal to New Yorkers through the progressive state press: “Imagine that instead of taking medication to fend off death from a terminal illness, a person could pay to take a concoction that will end their life in minutes — giving them full control of when and where they die.

“… Before their scheduled death, patients get two medical evaluations and a mental health screening, as well as a prescription for the drugs needed, including lethal doses of cardiac medication, that will end their life. The $12,000 cost for the patient covers all of this and help for the grieving family after their passing.”

  1. CANADA FINES DOCTOR FOR NOT TRANSITIONING CHILD – Canada’s British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal has given a Christian doctor a $28,000 fine. The reason for the fine is because the doctor has refused to prescribe puberty blocker medicine to a teenager. The Doctor had clearly informed the patient and her mother, which he documented in his records.

He wrote “I noticed that the injection is for gender re-assignment as patient is already in the waiting room with (her) mother. I called mother into the room and explained to her that I would not be able to give the injection. Based on my religious belief and cultural background.”

  1. POPE PROMOTES PRO-LGBTQ PRIEST TO BISHOP – In another sign of the erosion of the Catholic church’s leadership, Pope Leo XIV has promoted a pro-LGBTQ, anti-church priest to Bishop. Father Mario Leon Dorado has been outspoken in his support to “bless” “irregular” couples (meaning homosexuals), as well as calling on the church to fade away the way John the Baptist did when Christ was baptized.

He declared in 2022, “There is the ecclesiological challenge: the Church as a sacrament at the service of the Kingdom of God. The Church is called to disappear so that the Kingdom may grow, in analogy with the experience of John the Baptist…. The experience of John the Baptist is the experience of the Church.”

  1. UK MIGHT BE OVER? – Leaders of Scotland, Wales, and Ireland are calling for a breakup of the UK. The leaders of these three nations are hoping to jettison London in favor of the EU. Scottish First Minister John Swinney, Welsh First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth and Northern Ireland First Minister Michelle O’Neill all signed a declaration that claimed, “Westminster is coming to an end.”

A. PEOPLE ADVANCE

  1. TRUMP SECURES GREENLAND – President Trump has announced he has secured a deal with the Netherlands that effectively gives the U.S. security oversight on the island. The deal assures no enemy of the United States can gain a foothold on Greenland soil.
  2. GOP GETS BACK MISSOURI SEAT AFTER COURT RULING – The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled the Missouri 2026 Midterm election should follow the same map in place for the primaries. That map is the GOP-altered one that eliminates one Democrat House Seat stronghold. The court stated, “This Court holds that Missouri’s current plan to use the 2022 map in the November 2026 general election violates the Constitution. Only use of the 2025 map complies with the Constitution and federal law.”
  3. GERMANY’S PRO-GERMAN PARTY WINS STATE ELECTION – The only pro-German political party in Germany, the AfD, won 44% of the vote in a Saxony-Anhalt state election. The party fell just short of a majority for the state government, having captured 39 of the 83 seats in the State assembly. They fell just three seats short of a majority. The response from the “Planvasion of Germany” parties was to call for the AfD to be banned.
  4. EUTHANASIA FAILS AGAIN IN BRITIAN – Another attempt to legalize euthanasia in Britian has failed after a 286 to 270 vote defeated the latest bill. The legislation began the practice of euthanasia the same as many other laws, targeting only those with minimal diagnosed time to live. Later, the expansions of the eligible comes.
  5. FRAUD EXPOSED IN OBAMACARE, LEADS TO THOUSANDS OF CANCELLATIONS – Vice President JD Vance announced 750,000 fraudulent Obamacare accounts have been removed from the rolls, saving taxpayers $2.2 billion yearly. “We’re actually making sure that the people receiving Obamacare subsidies are actually entitled to receive them,” Vance declared.
  6. 110,000 LESS FOREIGN STUDENTS EXPECTED NEXT COLLEGE SEMESTER – Thanks to several factors, including new VISA restrictions, the amount of foreign college students attending U.S. schools will be 110,000 less than last year. Colleges will have to rely more on Americans to sell enrollment than foreigners, which might incentivize them to drop their anti-American ideologies.
  7. JUDGE KILLS DELAWARE’S “GHOST GUN” BAN – U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika struck down Delaware’s ghost-gun ban, which effectively bans the constitutional rights of Americans to make their own guns.

The judge ruled, “… An untraceable firearm is an Arm under the Second Amendment.  It is, after all, a firearm, and even under the narrowest reading of ‘Arms,’ ‘all firearms constitute [] ‘arms,’ whether serialized or not. Moreover, the evidence here shows that untraceable firearms are customarily used for offensive or defensive purposes such as self-defense…”

  1. FEDERAL COURT UPHOLDS INDIANA’S LAW OUTLAWING TRANSGENDER SURGERY FOR KIDS – U.S. District Judge James Patrick Hanlon upheld Indiana’s law prohibiting transgender surgeries on children. Indiana’s Attorney General declared, “We have won this critical fight against radicals who would otherwise impose this horrific practice on our kids for ideological and financial reasons. My office will keep standing between our children and those who would sacrifice their health, innocence, and well-being on the altar of woke gender ideology.”
  2. U.S. JOB CREATION HEATS BACK UP – The U.S. economy has seen job growth stagnate the past couple of months, leading experts to predict an anemic August jobs report. However, the jobs report delivered far better than expected, with 162,000 new jobs being created in July, Unemployment held steady at 4.1%. In addition to this news, another report revealed unemployment among the college-less is at an all-time low.
  3. SCIENTISTS IDENTIFY TRIGGER RECEPTOR THAT COULD CURE OSTEOPOROSIS – Researchers at Leipzig University in Germany have developed a new therapy for osteoporosis. The researchers claim they have identified a protein receptor named GPR133 that could be triggered to rebuild lost bone density in osteoporosis patients.

Professor Ines Liebscher, lead investigator of the study, said “If this receptor is impaired by genetic changes, mice show signs of loss of bone density at an early age – similar to osteoporosis in humans. Using the substance AP503, which was only recently identified via a computer-assisted screen as a stimulator of GPR133, we were able to significantly increase bone strength in both healthy and osteoporotic mice.”

  1. JUDGE KILLS UNIVERSITY’S “DEAD NAMING” RULE – U.S. District Court Judge Fred Slaughter has halted a University of California policy that would penalize students for calling transgendered students by their born names. This is called “dead naming,” calling them by the name of their “dead selves.” The policy equated “dead naming” to “sexual harassment.”

He also halted their policy of punishing students for not using other students’ preferred pronouns. The school called this action “harassment,” which effectively punishes dissenting belief from the gender fluid ideology. The judge ruled that “there is no categorical ‘harassment exception’ to the First Amendment.” He stated the students “have demonstrated a credible threat to enforcement.”

  1. CHRISTIAN WINS BACK RIGHT TO ADOPT – The Oregon Department of Human Services had to change its standards for adoption after a Christian widow sued them. Jessica Bates sued the state after she was denied the right to adopt a child in their system for refusing to affirm the rainbow ideology. The state settled with Bates, removing the conditions of adoption that demand LGBTQ affirmation. They also had to pay Bates’ court costs.
  2. PIDDINGTON SECEDES FROM BRITIAN – The village of Piddington voted to secede from the United Kingdom as a response to the government’s plan to overwhelm the tiny village with a flood of subsidized invaders. The vote passed with a 92% supermajority. The referendum was held on September 15, the date Britian celebrates its victory over the German Luftwaffe in 1940.

 

By Paul Gordon Collier, Editor

“Now concerning brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another, for that indeed is what you are doing to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to do this more and more, and to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you, so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one.” – 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12

Before I update you on our Hope Estates Project, I thought I’d recap the project for those who might not have followed it (especially for some of our newer readers).

As our regular readers well know, we preach the message of self-sustainable flourishing. We believe self-sustainable flourishing is not possible without a community of self-stewarded people. To that end, we sought a property that can be used both to house an extended family (5-10 people) and serve the public. Having both public and private space was essential.

We believe that extended family that serves together stays together, so we seek to create space that enables an extended family to serve the public while also serving themselves.

We knew we wanted to serve a rural community, and we wanted that community to be in Pennsylvania, preferably in the Endless Mountain region (North-central PA). Beyond that, we had no idea what we would eventually choose. We knew it would be the building that would choose us, regardless of what town it was in.

It would turn out that Canton had what we felt was the best opportunity. When we made our bid, another buyer offered the seller more money than we were offering. We were given the chance to increase our bid, but I chose not to, believing that the price I offered was the most we could afford (knowing this was a project, not a completed, ready-to-use building).

At the time, we estimated the cost to transform a church to a castle (private and public space blending) would be about $100,000, so we knew we couldn’t afford to pay a high price, even if the church was worth the higher price (and it was, and still is).

Fortunately for us, the deal with the other buyer fell through, which enabled us to buy the property at the low price we did (which would prove to be crucial in light of the deep freeze disaster we had yet to face).

The price to convert the church to a castle might be twice as much now as we thought it would be, but it is still within our capacity (at least as long as our economic situation continues as it has, especially these past few months).

Our plans were first interrupted by two major illnesses, one involving my wife and one involving me (fortunately not at the same time). While I still have health issues, they are nowhere near as debilitating as they were last year. My wife has fully recovered from her illness.

Then an unexpected deep freeze hit Canton just two weeks from us having our heating system prepared for the winter (water lines bled, etc.). At first it seemed like minor damage had happened, but then it became apparent it wasn’t minor at all.

During this time, our mother has had health complications that made it apparent we need to soon assure she does not live alone anymore. She has a property she was hoping to convert to community space long before we began our Hope Exit project. We all decided to combine her property with our efforts (out of necessity). This means we will be serving an urban community in Harrisburg and a rural community in Canton.

This takes us up to the present. Here is the update for this past month:

Our Hope Estates project achieved a major milestone; we have completed the renovations in our Harrisburg estate that creates an apartment for brother Bill. This week, he will be using the apartment to travel to D.C. in search of clients to help fund our project.

When we were carrying a couch from the first floor to the third floor, through tight spaces and in high heat, I had an incident with my adrenal pots that rendered me unable to complete the task. The next day, my brother Bill returned with our friend Anthony to complete the task. Our Mother, Kymm, finished up the work on the apartment afterwards.

As our readers know, our castle in Canton suffered a major setback during an unexpected early sub-zero deep freeze (which I referred to earlier). We now know the consequence of that disaster, which is the complete destruction of our natural-gas-powered steam heating system.

We have received one estimate to install heating/cooling splitters, but that system would require numerous holes to be drilled into our 1-foot-thick stone walls. We do not favor the cosmetics of that choice. Not only would it require holes to be drilled into our walls, but it would also require 6 or more external heating/cooling units to be placed outside the castle.

For now, we are opting to use industrial-strength heaters to get us through the winter without any further damage. This temporary solution will cost us less than $2k, though we are prepared for high heating bills. By next winter, we hope to have decided on and installed the new system(s).

We have not yet decided on a final heating/cooling system, but we are prepared to pay up to $100K to install a heating/cooling system. We’re just not sure which system we will choose.

The first week of October we have something special planned for the Castle, a walk-through church service by our friend Joe, who is a traditional Anglican priest. We will have an update on how that went in our October monthly review.

We have decided our next major investment is going to be for our roof, which is a slate roof. We hope to preserve the roof, not replace it; this is not because of cost, but cosmetic preference. We hope to preserve the original external look of the castle as much as possible.

We believe the roof needs some repairs, a good cleaning, and new gutter systems. We also hope to fix our weathervane spire, which is slightly bent.

After the roof, our next step is to install at least one shower and a laundry hook-up. This will enable myself and my wife to begin living in the Castle one full week a month (to start).

One of the biggest challenges we have in the Canton project is finding quality people available to do the work. For instance, we want to have the old heating system removed but the person we were hoping to do it hasn’t been able to get to it yet.

We knew going in this would be an issue, and it certainly has been.

We had an issue with our property taxes on the Canton property. Apparently, one government agency did not have it on record that we were the new owners, so they sent our bill to the previous owner. Fortunately, the issue was discovered before the bill was due, so we were still able to pay it on time.

We were hoping to be living in the Castle, at least part-time, by this fall, but that seems unlikely right now (barring some unforeseen major windfall). We are hoping to get roof repair work done before the winter, but even that might prove to be difficult. Winter comes earlier in Canton than it does where I currently live, Bethlehem, which is about 3 hours southeast of Canton.

We still have hope we will find someone able to do the work before the winter.

My wife has attained her Notary Public license. She is pursuing a more advanced license that will enable her to close mortgages and similar transactions. She hopes to have an office in Bethlehem and Canton. Eventually, we hope to add Harrisburg to her locations. She chose to develop this skill both to bring in some extra cash and also to provide a free service for people in need.

We have been fortunate this past month economically, enabling us to pay down more debt and plan for our next major investment (the roof repair).

We ask our praying readers to pray for us, both for resources that could accelerate our castle transformation and for endurance in facing the hard physical work needed to bring this project to fruition.

As of right now, we estimate it will be two years minimum before the church becomes a castle, and five years before the Harrisburg property is converted to a castle. We hope and pray for miracles to accelerate that timeline, but are prepared to diligently work within that timeline, if this is the Lord’s will.

Our subscribers have helped fund our Hope Estates Project, as we have used these funds primarily for that purpose. Our salaries mostly rely on our marketing clients (which we hope to expand to help fund this project).

Next month, we hope to give you an update on our church service walkthrough along with anything important that happens in October. God willing, we will have more good news to share as well.

A. GLOBAL OUTLOOK

NOTE: We are following both the Trump-Xi visit and the potential Paramount-Warner Brothers merger. As of this reporting, the Trump-Xi visit has just completed, with details expected to emerge over the coming days. The Paramount-Warner deal is unsettled with conflicting reports still coming.

  1. TEAM BIDEN APPROVED GOP PHONE SPYING – A report from the U.S. House Judiciary Committee reveals a high-ranking member of the Biden DOJ knew in advance of Jack Smith’s unconstitutional spying on members of congress. The report claims, “beginning in May 2022, prosecutors under the leadership of U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves issued several subpoenas demanding telephone toll records for Members of Congress to identify individuals with whom they spoke around major votes in Congress . . .”
  2. SCOTUS RESTORES SOME VOTER ID PLUMBLINING FOR TRUMP – By a vote of 6-3, SCOTUS empowered President Trump’s administration to resume using Social Security records to confirm only citizens are voting in the election. The three progressive state judges voted against the decision. The ruling removes a lower court injunction against the administration.
  3. NOTE: Be sure to read our special October 30 MIA Monthly issue where we will give you a detailed report on the midterm elections, including a predictive analysis.
  4. IRAN WAR PUSHES ON AS THEIR LEADER CRIES DEFIANCE – The Iran War continues mostly unabated, with the Houthis making considerable advances along the Red Sea coast. At home, it seems likely the President will face a Senate resolution demanding an end to the war. The President of Iran Massoud Pezeshkian, is claiming they will keep resisting, but signs of internal disruption are only increasing.
  5. 30-YEAR TREASURY BOND YIELD SPIKES – The 30-Year Treasury Bond Yield hit 5.501%, which was a high not reached since June of 2007. The spike came after U.S. economic data showed a stronger than expected economy, raising concerns there would be more Fed rate increases to combat inflationary pressures. High oil prices have also contributed to the spike. The rate is a benchmark for long-term interest rates and long-term borrowing.
  6. ONE IN THREE DEMOCRATS ADMIT TO WANTING TO KILL TRUMP – Nearly one third of Democrats responded yes to a poll question asking them if they’d support President Trump being assassinated to remove him from office. 23% said they’d feel very positive if the President were assassinated, while 8% said they would be somewhat positive. 25% most likely hid their true views, claiming they had no opinion one way or another.

A person who feels neither one way nor another about a political assassination is de facto admitting they approve of violence as a means of political persuasion. No person who disapproves of political violence would respond with no opinion. This poll most likely shows most Democrats (59%) support murder as a means of political persuasion, murder that would not stop with the President.

  1. WAR IN UKRAINE ESCALATING – Russia is warning Ukrainians it plans on escalating its assault on civilians. President Putin threatened Ukrainians, declaring he will bring them “to their knees.” The rhetoric follows concerns Russia might be preparing to launch sea drone attacks on NATO members.
  2. FRANCE TO SEND TROOPS TO RESCUE SAUDIS AND DEFEND PORT – France has pledged to send military assistance to help Saudi Arabia defend itself from the increasing Houthi assault on its territory. President Emmaneul Macron declared, “We are going to send military assets, that is, soldiers, radar systems, and defense systems to protect this site.”
  3. CLANCY DEFENSE WANTS TO USE LAWFARE TO PERSECUTE LONE HOLD-OUT – The lone-hold-out in the Lindsay Clancy child murder trial is now facing a lawfare campaign by the Clancy Defense team. Clancy Attorney Keving Reddington is hoping Judge William Sullivan will examine the juror’s private data to determine if he did something inappropriate.

The judge has yet to rule on the unusual filing. This is the same attorney who led a campaign against the holdout juror while deliberations were still going on.

  1. PAKISTAN ESCALATES WAR WITH AFGHANISTAN – Pakistan launched three separate air strikes on three separate Afghan provinces in response to drone attacks from Afghanistan a day earlier. The airstrikes were mostly centered in the southeast part of the country. Four civilians were allegedly killed. A Taliban spokesperson said, “These shameless acts of aggression and attacks by the Pakistani military regime will be met with an appropriate response.”
  2. RUBIO WEARS TWO POWERFUL HATS NOW – Secretary of State Marco Rubio has added another role to the many other roles he has served in the Trump administration. He is currently the Secretary of State. He is also now President Trump’s official and permanent National Security Advisor, a role almost as powerful, sometimes more powerful, than the role he serves now. He had been serving as the acting National Security Advisor.

B. HEADLINES MISSED

  1. GERMAN POLITICIAN FACES JAIL TIME FOR CHALLENGING “MAP” ACTIVIST – A German politician who challenged a pro-pedophile activist on social media could face two years in prison for committing a hate speech crime. Vanessa Behrendt was challenging an openly “minor attracted person” for advocating adult-child sex on social media. The pedophile reported her comments to German authorities, who opened a “hate speech” investigation against the one challenging public advocacy of child sex.
  2. PROGRESSIVES KILL COLLEGE INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM PROJECT – The Iowa Legislature created the Center for Intellectual Freedom at the University of Iowa. It has an advisory board overseeing the launch of the Center. Now, nearly half of the advisory council has resigned, claiming the terms the university was setting would kill the legislative intent of the Center.

One member, Richard Lowery, wrote, “The legislature created the center in 2025 to teach and research the ideas behind the American constitutional order and to promote free speech, civil discourse, and intellectual diversity on campus — and on the terms the regents have now set, it cannot do what the law created it to do.”

  1. CANADA FINES DOCTOR FOR NOT TRANSITIONING CHILD – Canada’s British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal has given a Christian doctor a $28,000 fine. The reason for the fine is because the doctor has refused to prescribe puberty blocker medicine to a teenager. The Doctor had clearly informed the patient and her mother, which he documented in his records.

He wrote “I noticed that the injection is for gender re-assignment as patient is already in the waiting room with (her) mother. I called mother into the room and explained to her that I would not be able to give the injection. Based on my religious belief and cultural background.”

  1. CANADIAN CHOOSES U.S. CARE TO CANADA’S EUTHANASIA SOLUTION – A Canadian that was diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer was recommended euthanasia before any oncologist was consulted. She took that as a sign she should seek healthcare elsewhere, which she did, in the U.S. Here, she received treatment and now seems to have recovered. Kristin Logan told a conservative outlet; “I hadn’t even seen an oncologist yet before I got that pamphlet. As I’m waiting for even the first call from the oncology team, I get this pamphlet in the mail basically telling me that I can go and kill myself. At that point you realize what a DYSTOPIAN situation it is.”
  2. BLACK MAN HANGS BLACK WOMAN, AP SHAMES WHITES – The Associated Press attempted to incite violence against white people by fanning the flames of racial hatred. They did so through their report of the murder by hanging of a black woman, Tasia Fortune, who was only 29. After a black man, Jarques Ratcliff, 51, was arrested for the murder, the narrative wasn’t changed, that white supremacism is causing a lynching epidemic.

AP continued to promote the original anti-white narrative, accusing white supremacism of murdering the woman. CNN, which reported on the story in a similar manner, failed to follow up on the story when it became apparent the murderer was not a white man after all. This is not the free press, this is a military operation.

C. PEOPLE ADVANCE

  1. TRUMP SECURES GREENLAND – President Trump has announced he has secured a deal with the Netherlands that effectively gives the U.S. security oversight on the island. The deal assures no enemy of the United States can gain a foothold on Greenland soil.
  2. GOP GETS BACK MISSOURI SEAT AFTER COURT RULING – The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled the Missouri 2026 Midterm election should follow the same map in place for the primaries. That map is the GOP-altered one that eliminates one Democrat House Seat stronghold. The court stated, “This Court holds that Missouri’s current plan to use the 2022 map in the November 2026 general election violates the Constitution. Only use of the 2025 map complies with the Constitution and federal law.”
  3. FRAUD EXPOSED IN OBAMACARE, LEADS TO THOUSANDS OF CANCELLATIONS – Vice President JD Vance announced 750,000 fraudulent Obamacare accounts have been removed from the rolls, saving taxpayers $2.2 billion yearly. “We’re actually making sure that the people receiving Obamacare subsidies are actually entitled to receive them,” Vance declared.
  4. AI CREATES ONE MILLION JOBS – The Economist has estimated AI has created five jobs for every one job lost. Their study claims AI has caused 200,000 job cuts since mid-2023 while creating one million new jobs.
  5. DOJ REJECTS UNCONSTITUTIONAL BAN ON HANDGUN PURCHASES – The Department of Justice has announced it has no plans to enforce the federal ban on handgun purchases for adults under 20. The DOJ stated it will not enforce a law that unfairly discriminates against the constitutional rights of citizens based on age.
  6. INTERSTATE HANDGUN SALE BAN NO MORE – The Fifth Circuit just struck down a federal ban on interstate handgun sales. That law has been enforced since 1968. The majority opinion held “The Ban, true to its name, categorically bars an entire class of otherwise lawful firearms purchases. The Ban is not a mere stipulation upon an otherwise safeguarded right to purchase firearms in the course of ‘keeping’ them.”

A. ENGLAND’S DEATH OF THE DIVINE KING

In our September 11, 2026, issue of MIA, Paul Gordon Collier analyzed England’s transition from the Divine Right of Kings to “The People Rule.”

In that report, Paul wrote, “I believe that the godly men and women of this 60-year period were struggling to sustain statehood whose God is the Lord without becoming madmen who advance the Kingdom of God with earthly, rather than spiritual, power.

“For Christians, this remains a challenge, how do we sustain the “righteous” state without making it our Kingdom maker?

“Many of those struggling beside these Christians, however, were struggling for advantaged power. They knew God no more than the Muslims did. But they knew the shibboleths of “Christian” power and used that language to “justify” earthly power for themselves.

“England had already established some checks on Royal power long before the Catholic Kings arrived. Had they not, perhaps the Catholic Kings could have succeeded in brutalizing their god onto the English people. But that habit of checking Royal power created in the English a sense of entitlement to do so.

“Even when Cromwell’s Major Generals and mad parliaments attempted to impose their god on the English people, they failed to change the fundamental protestant culture of the English, who continued to chafe at the bit of a hard master, be he Catholic or Puritan.

“I see in the factions unclean hands, men and women who perverted their own gods to serve expediency and satiate fear. Yet somehow, the now-British would find themselves with more liberties than ever, far more, I would surmise, than anyone in 1650 would have wanted.

“This is because, I theorize, amongst the killers and the self-servers were true men and women of God wrestling with His will for their state, their nation, and their own personal lives. This is the story of the state throughout history, a battle between servants and masters, both using the same vehicle of power, but for radically different ends.

“The plumbline for servant and master is imprecise, and thus no guaranteed filter can be applied that can keep the master out of the state.

“For America, the heart of the people is not Christ, and Protestantism has become, in many denominations, more like Islam, Catholicism, and Progressivism. It is difficult to tell how many God-fearing Protestant Americans are left in this country. I fear that number is far less than even 50% today.

“Protestantism’s vestigial hold on institutions long taken over by progressives is nearly gone. Large percentages of today’s youth may be completely outside even the cultural Protestantism that allowed non-Protestants to “inherit” these values, individual sinner, repentance that leads to full restoration, and individual self-stewardship of one’s beliefs.”

As we get ready for election season, we urge our fellow Americans to get engaged in the political process without becoming the political process. One way is to know who to vote for, what are the issues, when, and finally, where to vote.

Here are some Voter Guides to get you started not just in voting, but in choosing which elections to become active in supporting. Our October 30 issue will also include a comprehensive analysis of the midterm elections.

B. BE LIKE ESTHER, DANIEL, AND JEREMIAH IN TODAY’S AMERICA

In our September 11, 2026, issue’s Final Thought, Paul Gordon Collier explored his stewardship to the state as a Christian when the state turns against Christ.

He wrote, “As our civilizations collapse around us, those without roots outside of those civilizations will experience a collapse within themselves as well. Those with roots outside of those collapsing civilizations will be best equipped to be stewards of what might replace them.

“As Christians, we are called to be good stewards of whatever state we find ourselves in. We have as our examples Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Esther, Mordecai, Daniel, and Joseph (and others as well).

“All of these men and women of faith found themselves subject to a state that, in some way, wanted their people killed. These states were enemies of God’s children. Yet not a one of these people called on others to raise up arms to vanquish the state that wanted to destroy them and their people.

“Jeremiah explicitly is given a prophecy commanding the Israelites to submit to the invaders and live well under their rule. The Israelites refuse to enter God’s rest. Instead, they drag Jeremiah to Egypt, blaming their “unrighteousness” towards the Queen of Heaven for their woes rather than their unrighteousness towards God.

“They will die in Egypt, and the 10 tribes of Israel will be scattered. To this day, they have not been identified, which has led to more than 2500 years of exile from consequence of men entering their own understanding rather than God’s rest.

“Ezekiel prophesized God’s Word, but never incited others to rise up and throw off the yolk they were under. He preached the words God gave him, even when God called him not to mourn for his own wife when she died, because he was to physically prophecy the indifference God held for his unrighteous bride.

“Ezekiel entered God’s rest, and his words today continue to lift the body of Christ towards heaven.

“Mordecai not only served his nation faithfully, without violating God’s laws, but he saved the King from an assassination plot. He saved the instrument of his peoples’ destruction from destruction.

“The book of Esther never mentions God, but all who know His Word can see God moving through all Mordecai did. We can see how God confounds earthly authority, leading it to fulfill His will, no matter how obstinate that authority might be.

“Mordecai entered God’s rest and God raised him up to become the second most powerful man in that same state.”

We recommend those that wish to understand what’s going on right now, and what may be to follow, to get to know the prophets of the Old Testament. Here are some resources to get you started:

C. THE ELECTION FIGHT FOR EASE, NOT THE REPUBLIC

Our Deep Dive for our September 18, 2026, weekly MIA was on the state of the prevailing narratives in the upcoming midterm elections.

In our Deep Dive, we wrote, “If America were not under the thumb of the progressive state media and its cultural agit prop machine, the horrors of the rise of Islam, the depravity of abortion, the anti-American values of progressivism would have been clearly shown by an Americanist press, a true free press and not a content marketing terror machine.

“Were corporate media outlets to regularly show the consequence of abortion, both on the murdered child and the murdering mother, abortion would lose support overnight.

“As it is, they seek to criminalize such exposure, calling the display of their work, mutilated dead babies, ‘hate speech,’ a progressive concept that existentially threatens America’s founding principles of self-stewardship. Every woman that chooses to murder their child is now forced to protect the progressive state, for an American one would rightly shame them.

“The progressive state press is NOT the free press, it is an illegal political action center that willingly and intentionally uses lies, obfuscations, and omissions of truth to demoralize the American republic and protect the depravity of the progressive state.

“It is a criminal operation centrally directed. It deserves no 1st Amendment protections since it is not executing free speech, it’s executing an information terror campaign intended to destroy the republic from within.

“The Progmericans, people like Trump and Vance, want to hold on to that power for themselves. They want to exapt the progressive state press to become the Progmerican state press.

“The failure by the Trump administration, even in his first term, to recognize the ongoing existential threat the progressive state press poses on our Republic continues to shackle our ability to resist an enemy from within who wants us enslaved, starving, imprisoned, or dead.

“Again, we suspect this is because Progmericans like Trump still hope to use that de facto state press to their own ends, for while they value nation-states over a global imperialist Empire (which is the progressive goal) and they value nation-state patriotism as a unifier of a nation, they don’t value true individual liberty, for they hope to control outcomes every bit as much as progressives do, just for more localized ends, not ecumenical ones.”

Even if the Progmericans win, until Americans are fully in charge the corporate press will continue to be a source for party-protecting narratives, not truth.

We recommend you familiarize yourself with Agit Prop tactics, and, more importantly, teach them to anyone you have standing with to do. Teach your children, your receptive friends and family, anyone that will listen.

  1. NOTE: We separate agitprop into agit prop to bring attention to the agitation part of the propaganda technique.

The more people recognize the tactic of violent sophistry, agit prop, the less effective it will be. A people with an ear to recognize agit prop would rightly reject anyone using such tactics to create political power for themselves.

Here are good starting points to learn what Agit Prop is:

I. THE TECHNOLOGIES

By Paul Gordon Collier, Editor

“The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord.” – Proverbs 21:31

INTRODUCTION

I operate under the assumption that throughout human history man has battled between institutional being that facilitates lethality and institutional being that facilitates daily human flourishing.

Getting the balance right is essential, because being efficient at lethality alone will create deficiency at home. This will soon neutralize that lethal advantage.

The cheat code for this is to continue conquesting, taking resources that provide flourishing without the institutions being required to produce flourishing at home. You are importing your flourishing through blood. When you run out of conquests, you pick your own people dry until you collapse, or they murder you.

Getting daily human flourishing down without lethality just makes you a Lindisfarne, a fat booty primed for the plucking. This can work if you become a vassal of lethality that has a more benevolent view of you.

For instance, if all the emperor wants is reliable booty, and that booty can be readily supplied without dipping into your flourishing stocks, for a time you have achieved parity, but only at the good graces of the lethality provider.

The ideal state for a people is to be the self-producers of both their own effective lethality and their own flourishing institutions. The more consensually they are integrated by a shared meta-narrative that defines the whole, the more sustainable that partnership will be.

The more your flourishing is produced from within, the less incentivized you are to exploit your neighbors, which makes you a desired and trustworthy ally. The greater your lethality is produced from within; the greater will be your sovereign powers in the geopolitical game.

Never in the course of human history has a technology come along that threatens to radically undo all the patterns of lethal-making that came before it like AI alone has done.

But AI is not the only technology, there are a family of them, and each one is a radical lethal game changer in their own right, but combined they destroy institutions and demand new ones emerge.

We are at such a crossroads in human being itself, where the species is confronted by its own creations, the fruit of human institutions, with America and China being the major bellwethers in this new world that is already here and is rapidly arriving.

With great opportunity comes great threat, and never in human history has that been more the case. At the ecumenical level, defensive technology is about to become, by urgent necessity, the decider of the institutions that will die, survive, thrive, and be born.

How we fight is going to be how we live, for a nation-state that fails to meet this challenge will soon be the diminished, impoverished servant of the one that does.

It is with these presuppositions that I examined the current and potential near-future state of defensive technology.

It is fitting that I utilized AI for my research, since AI is the star of defensive technology. I was an AI Agent manager. I managed my AI through a prompt. In my case, I use more than one AI agent. One thing I have learned about AI use, both with myself and others, is some people use AI to cut corners, take it easy, do the same work in a quarter of the time.

Certain tasks are irreducibly at that level, but the more complex the task, the more the opportunity exists to utilize AI not to do the same amount of work you did before in less time, but to dramatically (you hope) improve the work you’re doing for the same amount of time.

For instance, for this report I utilized about 6-8 hours of research time, starting with broad prompts that became more specific as I learned more particulars. The research time is about standard for these types of reports given the nature of the time I have to complete them.

My improved ability to manage AI agents has enabled me to get effectively 25-30 research hours done in 6-8 hours. I did not reduce my overall time; I increased my overall quality.

This point is relevant at the end, when it should become apparent to you how important it is to learn to become a manager of an AI Agent and not a propagandized tool of one, for even in the military can we afford to have people being led by AI rather than managing it.

God willing, the next report in our Futureq series will be about governance, both of AI agents and of independent communities, from extended families to villages and towns and beyond.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This report explores the emerging defensive technology reality of power in present day and the directions it could take by 2036 (and also beyond). I am calling this the New Model Military, which applies to all militaries the world over, including America and China.

I mostly focus on the American model for the New Model Military, but give some analysis to China’s, which is a remarkable contrast to the American one. I will tell you why in the report.

The report starts with a summary of the core technologies now leading the formation of the New Model Army. This is the first part of our report, Technologies.

We will start with the backbone technologies, then finish with the weapons and weapons support technologies.

In part two, I analyze the New Model Army itself, its institutions, the tasks humans need to fulfill, and the skillsets humans need. I then look at how all the parts are intended, ideally, to integrate into the whole and the strategies the New Model Military will follow. I then peek at the range of future realities we could place.

Next, I take this all this data and produce an assessment of the reality of power in Defense today, in 2036, and beyond. I provide that assessment within my self-stewardship and Americanist framework.

Finally, I provide recommended action for both my fellow self-stewarded and American people, and one for President Trump as well. Spoiler alert, first and foremost learn to be an effective AI Agent manager.

A. BACKBONE TECHNOLOGIES

These are the technologies that all the other technologies rely upon. Agentic AI is the backbone of all backbone technologies, but the other four here are essential to the 21st century military principle of “resilience,” of surviving and performing after catastrophe has struck.

All of these technologies have non-military counterparts, while none of them are quite ready to deliver on the promise of a resilient military, at least not yet.

  1. AGENTIC AI – This technology is the backbone of all the other technologies to follow. Without Agentic AI (AAI), no military can hope to remotely compete with one that has such powers. For this reason alone, nation-states must assure they either have the most powerful, fastest-processing AI agents or be allied with a nation-state that does. This factor alone makes AI as essential to the 21st Century military as gunpowder has been to all militaries for the last six plus centuries.

Currently, militaries are already using agentic AI, with the U.S., Russia, and Ukraine deploying it in major operations. Maven Smart System has been used by the U.S. military, which is a provider of intelligence gathering and targeting-supporting AI agents. That has been succeeded by Agent Network, which was just launched in June of this year.

The latest upgrade is moving towards “agent-to-agent handoffs,” which are currently limited. There are AI agents for every aspect of the military machine, from logistics agents to fire agents. The goal is to allow all of them to talk directly to each other, enabling more rapid “holistic” understanding of the conditions.

Currently, or should I say “allegedly,” there are no agents making fire decisions. A human is behind every lethal action. But the military hopes to develop agents that can make lethal decisions in limited actions a human is observing. That human would also have the power to end the action.

Yet, the U.S. military hopes to have agents capable of making lethal decisions when everything, and everyone else has been destroyed. What the U.S. military claims is that no such agent would choose targets, they would be given the targets to strike.

The desire to keep AI’s lethal decision-making contained is undermined by the threat that competing nation-states will have no such restraint, which might give them a major advantage in the new war reality.

The ability of small-scale players to create their own agentic AIs to run their own weapons systems (and the logistics in delivering those weapons systems to the theater of war) almost guarantees agentic AIs will be given full target-seeking and eliminating powers (if they haven’t already).

One essential aspect of Agentic AI is the ability to run the real in simulation not only before the real occurs, but even during. The general consensus is the AI agent that can’t survive the sim, won’t survive the real. The AI agent that engages with the real without the sim is at a decided major disadvantage to the AI agent that operates with a sim.

The U.S. military has developed Ender’s Foundry, whose 10-year goal is to create a sim that is constantly updated with the real so that AI agents can practice while they’re “fighting.”

At the core of this fight is the speed and data processing power of the core AI that powers the agentic AI. This, again, is why AI is so essential for nation-state sovereignty in the decades to come. It is also why AI is now a 2nd Amendment issue for American citizens.

One new geopolitical reality is this, if your allies are not in on your best AI powers and utilizing them and communicating with them in the same way you do, your whole system is useless unless you fight alone.

This puts a premium on advantaged power forming alliances with lesser powers, and on lesser powers forming alliances with advantaged powers.

It also puts a premium on trust in the alliance, for the advantaged power must share some of its most sensitive technological secrets with its allies, or they won’t be able to effectively integrate with their system.

  1. RESILIENT POSITION, NAVIGATION, TIMING, AND COMMS – The key word in this description is resilient, and it conforms to the overall strategy of the 21st Century military, small-scale resilience when everything else is gone, or inaccessible.

First and foremost, every military must be optimally synced with one another, which requires shared exact time. To be resilient, every small part of the whole must be able to preserve that time sync even when it’s separated from the whole system. This part, timing, is essential to the other two.

Timing in the 21st century theater of war is essential for an effective military.

You also need exact navigation that can persist even when cut off from the whole system. That navigation system must also resist interference. Finally, you need to have decentralized communications systems to assure the parts can both survive separation from the whole while still easily reintegrating when connecting back to the whole.

GPS, which relies on satellite signaling, is not a resilient navigation system, though it still remains the most effective one, both in terms of delivering reliable navigation and in resisting interference efforts.

It is not expected to continue to be effective against developments in hacking technologies, however, and thus there is the impetus to develop technological alternatives. So far, alternatives to GPS, even as backups to them, are in the concept stage of development.

Every system, including any AI system, must be deemed immune to quantum cryptography by the end of 2030. Developing anti-quantum cryptography technologies is crucial to these resilient technologies developing.

The technologies in this category are mostly quantum technologies that haven’t gone beyond the concept stage of development.

At the heart of most of these quantum technologies is quantum sensing, the ability to hone in on a single atom that becomes a multi-purpose beacon, which includes navigation, timing, and even communications.

The clock is the essential element, and that clock must be a quantum one. The difference between a traditional clock and a quantum one is the traditional clock requires a stable condition to be precise, while the quantum clock is tied to an unstable condition.

This makes the quantum clock, the quantum sensor, resilient,  or able to FIRST be separated from the whole without losing vital navigation, timing, and communications; THEN being able to integrate seamlessly back into the whole.

An unconfirmed application of a quantum sensor may have happened in Iran after a U.S. pilot who was shot down. The pilot was rescued with a “Ghost Murmur.” The device was able to detect the airman’s heartbeat. It uses long-range quantum magnetometry to detect the electromagnetic fingerprint of a beating human heart.

  1. FORWARD AND RESILIENT POWER – Essential to a resilient military is local power. The future of local power might be in biomanufacturing, but, not today, and most likely, not even 10 years from now.

One strategy is to deploy literal batteries, which offer silent power, but also require more outside resupply. Another strategy is to use microgrids, which can use a variety of resources for power, including diesel, solar, wind, and batteries.

The 10-year goal is to have nuclear energy cells that can sustain an operations for months. So far, only prototypes of this exist.

For right now, diesel is still the most effective source for creating local power. The addition of resilience technologies is only going to add to the demand already put on the diesel supply lines, which makes developing alternatives to diesel as a local power essential to the 21st century military.

The U.S. Army recently paid $45 million to develop a tactical microgrid, which is designed to be able to use multiple energy resources, including diesel. The microgrids are also designed to be maximally efficient, to lessen the demand for energy resources overall.

The future of military technology right now points to nuclear-powered microgrids, though it is uncertain if this will occur within the next 10 years.

  1. ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING AT THE POINT OF NEED – The days of whole military machines being printed onsite are most likely not in the near future, not even within the next 10 years. With that off the table (for now), I will focus on what additive manufacturing is already doing to the military and what it might do in the near future.

Right now, printers in the field are reliably printing replacement parts needed for repairs. Printers are also being used in another key area, printing vital parts to make cheap drones. This is the printer’s most important battlefield role today.

. The wars of the future will be a contest, from the start, of printing cheap drones to be used in swarm attacks. Additive manufacturing is a key part of that process (more on this later).

Whole drone printing factories are being utilized already in the Ukraine War, new advances promise to reduce cost through more effective printing, increased speed of production, and maximizing energy use more effectively.

On the way are not just drone printing factories, but cheap munitions printing factories as well, including rockets.

One key bottleneck to printing onsite is the resources needed for printing. These create a supply tail, which creates targets for the enemy. Another bottleneck is assuring parts are used according to their licensing specs.

As we will see later, the civic-military relationship NEEDS to be based on mutual accountability. This is why the military must be careful not to violate the commercial license of a vendor by using their part in an unlicensed way. The liability would fall wholly on the military if the part produced liable action.

With the aid of AI as a developer, printing onsite has rapidly advanced in the last 10 years. The next 10 years offer potentials for that trend to continue at or even above the past 10 years’ trendline.

Developments in composites could reduce resource needed and deliver potentials to print whole systems. While it isn’t projected that tanks can be printed onsite in 10 years, it is not completely outside the realm of possibility.

  1. FORWARD BIOMANUFACTURING – As of right now, the use of Forward biomanufacturing in the military is only in small-scale proof-of-concept prototypes. The aim of biomanufacturing is to use the local biodiversity to produce food, medical supplies, and energy.

Biomanufacturing is using biological material to print new materials, like medicines and energy pellets from plants. So far, there is limited use of food biomanufacturing, with medical supplies and energy mostly existing in the concept stage.

The industry standard-bearer is Bio-Industrial Manufacturing and Design Ecosystems (BioMADE), which was funded by the DoD for $87 million. The company has created pilot plants in Minnesota and California. These plants are creating and testing biomanufacturing microfactories that print lithium biosorbents, 3D-print plastics, wound-healing proteins, and biosensors.

They are discovering the effective models and standards that will inform the development of the whole industry.

“Point-of-need food” is not far from happening, with a prototype model being built that can create protein rations from air, water, and electricity. The prototype aims to be able to create 2,800 calories a day for up to 18 troops. If that works, it will scale up to 250. It is required the food produced is something the soldiers would actually enjoy eating.

Operations will have to decide the essential biomanufacturing needs they want fulfilled, for they are limited in the amount of biomanufacturing units they can support. Within 10 years, it is likely they will have a full menu to chose from in the medical and food buckets, but not quite the energy bucket.

Biomanufacturing chemicals for multiple needs, including fuels, adhesives, and medical applications, are likely to explode in options for operations 10 years from now.

B. WEAPONS TECHNOLOGIES

The backbone technologies enable the weapons technologies to function and be sustained. This list does not include fully developed technologies already in use through conventional weapons platforms (like tanks and assault rifles).

This list includes the types of weapons platforms and support systems that are essential for the military to achieve resilience status, of being able to function in disconnected parts in the face of catastrophe while also being able to seamlessly reintegrate with the whole.

Other than the first technology, cheap uncrewed mass, these technologies are mostly at the concept stage and all still unable to fully deliver on the promise of military resilience.

  1. CHEAP UNCREWED MASS (SWARMS) – The notion that the militaries of the world are deploying swarms of cheap, but autonomous drones, all being coordinated by a shared AI agent, is a fiction. Within 10 years, it could come to reality, but most likely, not at a large-scale.

China is pursuing what is called a multi-domain swarm tactic, meaning it is attempting to not only coordinate an air swarm, but land, sea, and even space, swarms as well. Their swarms are intended to follow the mostly sci-fi model described previously. China is relying far more on AI genius than human ingenuity in its model.

Ukraine has been the proving ground for what drone swarms are in reality, dumb programmed drones intended to cheaply devastate enemy assets. 60-70% of Russian asset damage has been caused by drones that cost in the thousands, and sometimes the hundreds, while destroying hundreds of millions of dollars in damages.

America is developing a strategy called Collaborative Combat Aircraft, which integrates drones with a human-flown aircraft. They are also developing MMAs or Massed Modular Aircraft. These are unmanned aircraft that can fly long range at high altitudes. They would replace the job of our long-range bombers today, at a fraction of the cost, and with quicker response times.

Every country, however, will have to produce high volumes of cheap drones that can be used effectively like shelling, but also to flush out enemy defenses that make your high-precision weapons (like hypersonic missiles and energy weapons) more effective.

Electronics jamming, spoofing, communications jamming are all becoming a key part of the drone battlefield, with militaries having to both protect their drones from these attacks and use these techniques to attack the enemy’s drones.

In addition to drones, there are Mothership drones, large drones that carry the many cheap drones.

Additive Manufacturing is a key part of the drone swarm wars. Failure to keep printing cheap drones will result in the loss of the skies. This is already being seen in the Ukraine War.

AI agents are crucial to the effectiveness of any drone warfare strategy, with China’s model, again, putting more dependence on AI as a decision maker than the model the U.S. is (allegedly) developing.

  1. SCALED DIRECTED ENERGY – There are two primary types of scaled directed energy, high-energy lasers (HEL) and high-power microwaves (HPM). The former is used to target expensive weapons, like missiles, while the latter was borne from the necessity to fight cheap drone swarms.

In September 2026, the U.S. Army awarded the first production contract for an “Enduring High Energy Laser (E-HEL)” to AeroVironment in the amount of $465 million. The hope is to build “dozens of systems” over the next few years. These units are expected to allow soldiers to maintain them, not technicians, this, in part, is what makes them “scalable.”

In June 2026, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth watched a demonstration of combined HEL and HPM systems destroy a range of targets, including cheap drones and missiles. The demonstration has convinced the military to go forward with their efforts to develop this technology.

Currently, the main limitation is weather, fog, smoke, and turbulence. Under optimal conditions, you can put on a nice display for a dignitary, but in the field, under less optimal conditions, the systems suffers failures, especially the HEL systems. The HPM systems are less hampered by such factors.

Applications for both HEL and HPM systems in Naval use have not been unnoticed by the U.S. Navy, which is hoping to integrate both systems into their defensive strategy.

A weapons platform that cannot cheaply counter cheap drone swarms cannot exist in the 21st century theater of war.

This is why HPMs are so vital to the future of war, though they have only been minimally used in the Ukraine War. Both HELs and HPMS provide a “limitless” cheap magazine supply essential to combatting cheap attack waves from the enemy.

Agentic AI is an essential part of the effectiveness of directed energy weapons. Without a more powerful AI than your opponent, your HPMS and HELs will be of little use, and most likely will be quickly destroyed.

  1. UNMANNED AND LOW-SIGNATURE LOGISTICS MOVERS – These technologies rely on the effectiveness of biomanufacturing and additive manufacturing to significantly reduce their need in the first place.

Keeping within the principle of assuming catastrophic conditions, the supply line has to be at minimal, maximally unmanned and not run in a clear, trackable pattern. The idea is to always have a direct path, but never the same path.

Logistics must come through a mesh path, not a traditional one. This is called operating under an assumption of “contested logistics.”

The vehicles must be cheap, low in detectability (“low signature”), and numerous. The idea is to use many inexpensive small drones (including land, air, sea, and eventually space) to transport minimal core supply needs rather than expensive high-signature large-scale supply movers.

Primarily, these logistics movers need to supply a squad with ammo, water, blood, and batteries. As a tactical connector, they need to provide fuel to aircraft, replacing big refuelers with minimally-sized unmanned drones.

Supply ships could soon be replaced by unmanned resupply vehicles capable of making long supply runs evasively, saving human crews from the tasking burden. Smaller versions are already in use in the Philippines by the U.S. military.

The whole system heavily relies on AI agents to navigate, especially in order to keep the “path” of supply coming from mesh, not traditional, supply paths.

  1. COLLABORATIVE/ATTRIBUTABLE COMBAT AIRCRAFT – This is the drone you don’t want to throw away so easily, and you also don’t want it to be “dumb.” They are fully functioning versions of the top manned fighters of the day, including the F-35, but at 1/3 the cost. They are designed to fly in coordination with a manned fighter.

There are working prototypes of this model, but none with the required range, and the AI power behind them is still unsettled. Some of the questions are connected to the part the fighter takes in taking lethal action. Until the AI brain vendor is chosen, the military is hard-pressed to build the machines around the chosen AI brain, which is what they have to do to integrate the AI with the machine.

Within 10 years, manned pilots will have 4-5 of these CCAs accompanying them into battle. The Air Force has already ordered the production of 150 combat-capable CCAs by the end of the decade. It awaits the projected funding from the 2027 budget, which will be nearly $1 billion.

  1. SCALED HYPERSONICS – Hypersonics weapons are to be deployed on high-interest, high-cost targets. Their use is minimal, which is good, because the supply is minimal, and even ten years from now, it is not likely to exponentially increase due to the cost and speed of production.

These weapons fly at Mach 5+. It is important to note these are not aimed munitions, these are navigable craft with a munitions payload. They are intended to navigate to the target.

Currently, the U.S. lacks a hypersonic missile. What we possess is a Mach 5+ boost glide missile. China and Russia have successfully demonstrated hypersonic missile capacity.

There are two types of hypersonic missile, a Boost Glide Hypersonic Weapon and an Air-Breathing Cruiser.

A Boost Glide Hypersonic Weapon is a rocket-lofted unpowered glide body that can maneuver to the target. An Air-Breathing Cruiser has both a rocket booster and a scramjet cruiser that works in the atmosphere.

Lockheed Martin is working on a third option, a thin-layered model designed to reduce cost and increase production potential. This is called the NXGB. This design has the promise of delivering on the scale part of hypersonic, which means it can reduce the cost and time of production of hypersonic weapons to more reliable production potentials.

Both the deployment and development of this technology is critically reliant on powerful AI agents. The militaries that possess the most effective AI brains will develop and deploy the most effective scaled hypersonic weapons systems.

  1. RECAP – We examined the 10 major technologies essential to building and sustaining a resilient military. We started with the backbone technologies, including the backbone of backbones, AI agents, then concluded with weapons technologies that build and sustain military resilience in the 21st century.

The second part of this report, The New Model Military, begins by looking at the institutions forming around this emerging military reality.

It continues by examining the human skillsets needed to develop, sustain, and operate the technologies of the New Model Military.  I will explore the strategies, integrations, and future potentials of the New Model Military.

Finally, I will conclude this report with an assessment in the context of self-stewardship potential and recommended action for self-stewarded people in response to this new, emerging military reality.

II. THE NEW MODEL MILITARY

A. INSTITUTIONS

The specific structures of the 21st Century New Model Military have yet to be seen, but already we can see underlying principles that will define their formation.

Due to the nature of the strategy, resilience in the face of catastrophe, the support structure will have to mirror the military structure, meaning mesh structures, autonomy in the parts that still integrate with the whole, and far more civilians “inside the wire” than there ever was before.

The new military must integrate and rely on the private sector like never before. Due to what will be an incredibly fluid nature of development and counter-development, military evolution will require independent thinking to allow it to compete with other militaries.

The space for ossification in this new reality is dead.

HQ in the new model military is composed of officers whose primary tasks are to “bound” or manage AI agents that are making most of the essential decisions and discoveries.

Training in simulations is critical to this New Model Military. Training is already moving to the fore in importance in America’s military. Every aspect of the military, from supply to strategy to maintenance, will be subject to intense simulation training.

There are already forming portfolio divisions, as opposed to branch divisions, which specialize in sustaining standards and development for a certain technology, like the biotech industry benchmark BioMADE. These types of divisions will require (and already have) civilian-military integration at the highest levels.

Air Force formations come as a package, integrating the human-flown platforms with the drones that support them. Ground forces are small and flexible, able to integrate with resilience technologies like additive marketing and biomanufacturing.

One of the military’s new critical tasks is to be an effective vendor manager, identifying and cultivating good relations with quality vendors while providing oversight which assures that they stay within military specs.

This is especially true of AI, where the military has already clashed with private industry, namely Anthropic, regarding its intentions to be able to override military orders as outside the scope of the relationship.

The new model military of the foreseeable future will not be an all-robot military, but where do humans fit in?

B. WHERE HUMANS FIT IN

  1. MISSION COMMANDERS OF MIXED TEAMS – These are your tactical officers, capable of managing AI agents from multiple areas as well as the humans integrating with them, such as human pilots.

Any individual, from a pilot to a battery commander, to eventually the ground soldier, must have some skills in managing AI agents effectively. The mantra “authority, abort, accountability” will be beaten into the head of every soldier with any authority in the New Model Military.

  1. UNCREWED-SYSTEMS OPERATORS AND MISSION LEADS – The humans in this group assure the uncrewed systems keep effectively working. They will not only remotely operate some of them, but they will also service, rescue, and resupply them, as well as manage the AI agents attached to them.
  2. SPECTRUM/PNT/EW WARRANTS AND NCOS – These are the people that keep communications, timing, and navigation alive, whether it is for the whole system or the part of the whole. Small in size today, this group is expected to grow significantly in the coming years.
  3. DIRECTED-ENERGY AND cUAS CREWS – These people maintain the physical infrastructure of directed energy weapons. They are also manual overrides in critical fail circumstances.
  4. EDGE PRODUCTION AND REPAIR TRADES – These people maintain, sustain, and supply the additive manufacturing and microgrid units. They are mechanics primarily.
  5. TACTICAL POWER AND ENERGY NCOs – These are the people that ration the power and protect the microgrids. They also determine which microgrids and biomanufacturing units are to be used.
  6. SCARCE HIGH-END SHOOTERS – These are the people that sustain hypersonic weapons platforms. Their primary skillset is magazine discipline, assuring the magazine is read for operation.
  7. INFANTRY/FIRES/SHIP DRIVERS – These are the people who still represent human “boots on the ground” in any operation. They still have riflemen, but they also have drone chargers and onsite printer operators. Even riflemen may soon have support drones within 10 years (though not yet likely).
  8. INSTRUCTORS AND RED-TEAMERS – These are the people who assure simulation plumblines are accurate reflections of real-world performance. If they are not, the military in the 21st century will not survive. Training in simulations is critical, and these are the people that assure that training is effective.
  9. SURETY, LEGAL, AND NUCLEAR-OVERSIGHT OFFICERS – These are military lawyers, nuclear reactor regulators, and nuclear-trained soldiers. The higher-level skillset tasks will slightly increase, but the lower-level skillset tasks, such as manned crews running routine logistics runs, will dramatically decrease.
  10. CIVILIANS – On the civilian side, the divisions are more complex. Their role, in general, is more essential than it ever was before, and the need for many more to be “behind the wire” will only increase.

One of the biggest challenges in the integration of the civilian with the military will be the capacity of the military to fire a bad vendor and the willingness of the military to scapegoat the vendor to cover up its own failure. MUTUAL ACCOUNTABILITY IS KEY.

The “turn the wrench” relationship between vendor and the military is gone. Now, they must work more in cooperation with one another in accountable ways, especially where AI is part of the trigger-pulling process.

C. THE HUMANS NEEDED

As I stated earlier, there will be humans in the New Model Military, and they will be essential parts of an AI management, equipping, and supporting system. In the New Model Military, the human role is to give the AI Agent operations commands it can execute on the fly, while keeping it contained within the parameters of that operation’s command.

The military of the future will still need fit humans willing to put bullets in skulls, but they will need far more managers of the digital brains and the machines that will replace at least the frontline soldiers. Among those managers, some will need to remain fit, others will not. Overall, the need for physically superior men will be significantly less than it currently is.

People who can sustain self-control and focus under high-stressed catastrophic circumstances are best fit for almost any role in the New Model Military of the 21st Century. A nation-state that cannot cultivate such people will lose the wars they fight.

As for the soldiers themselves, their jobs will demand they still stay fit and strong, but now they also must have higher skills like AI agent management. So even among the dominant physical males, the demand for intelligence and independent thinking is more important than ever before.

It is not inconceivable that every soldier will have to be trained in one of these skillsets as well, serving in these capacities when not being called into direct action.

Here are six of the new top key tasks and the humans needed for those tasks:

  1. MISSION COMMAND OF MIXED HUMAN-MACHINE TEAMS – There will be Package Managers who will have to manage 2-4 manned jets each with support from unmanned jets. The package commander will be coordinating AI Agents and the human crew members.

Staff Officers are the ones that make the lethal decisions and govern AI’s lethal decision-making.

Doctrine writers will be the ones setting the parameters for AI’s role in lethal decision-making. They will be especially important in the commission of a battle when writing off-the-loop lethality orders for AI within a narrow set of pre-authorized parameters. This would include the targets themselves.

The number one skill for this group is a skill almost every soldier must soon possess, effectively instructing and managing AI agents. For this group, it will be the most important skillset.

  1. SOFTWARE, DATA, AND AUTONOMY AS A COMBAT ARM – These are the people that keep software updated, secured, and maintained. Mission-Autonomy Engineers will manage the software systems for autonomous unmanned vehicles. Data Stewards keep the data flowing even when it goes down. Simulation/Synthetic-Environment people keep training and simulation integrity to assure simulation success reflects real world success.

Cyber operators both attack and protect radios and agents from other Cyber operators. They also manage AI agents that assist them in this task.

Everyone in this group must be an excellent AI agent manager, but they also must be creative thinkers able to adapt on the fly, to see outside the box without leaving the lethal reality of the box. This group is a mix of soldiers, civilians, and vendors, so liaison skillsets will also be required in this group.

Remember, everyone must share the accountability or the system breaks down, and if it breaks down, your AI breaks down, and if your AI breaks down, so do you. Without mutual accountability, the integrity and efficiency of the whole system collapses.

  1. NAVIGATION, TIMING, COMMUNICATIONS – Electronic warfare and spectrum management is developed and executed by this group. The managers are the ones that develop the initial attack and defense strategies of each engagement. They rely on AI agent input, so they must be trained in how to effectively understand them quickly.

PNT engineers are the ones who assure the exacting atomic clock remains exacting, and that information is sharable with the unit. Cryptographic agility teams manage the quantum-required technologies such as quantum sensing. SATCOM and mesh planners assure there is always one path, but it’s always a different one.

This group requires high AI agent management skills, and an ability to think quickly and precisely when faced with firehoses of data under extreme conditions.

  1. EDGE PRODUCTION – These are mostly technicians, people who actually run the additive manufacturing and bioprocessing machines, as well as maintain them. These are tradesmen, but ones that require higher training and higher skills than average tradesmen. They must also be able to operate efficiently and rapidly under extreme conditions. These people will need to be physically fit to perform.
  2. MICROGRID OPERATORS – These are tactical power techs, some of which will need to be nuclear trained tactical power techs. There will be a heavy civilian and vendor presence here, as the vendors own the microgrids, but the military governs their use. These people will need to be physically fit to perform.
  3. DIRECT ENERGY DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE – This group will maintain the directed energy systems, continue to develop and improve them, and constantly test them both in simulations and in firing exercises. They will need to have a minimum masters-level understanding of physics to be in this group.

D. INTEGRATING THE WHOLE

The whole of everything that follows must produce what is called a “closed kill web.” The goal is to destroy sensors and beat your enemy to the decision-making tree. After the first wave, in defense or offense, your forces must be able to operate in mesh formations, with each unit capable of staying in sync with the whole without being connected to the whole, and that includes keeping navigation capacity without GPS.

The Air war is fought by manned and unmanned combat aircraft, with unmanned support craft sustaining the effort. Air superiority is more essential now than it was before.

The land war is fought by advanced unmanned ground systems, with soldiers following behind, trailing along their own drone support as well. The bulk of the fight will be conducted through drones and electronic warfare.

On the seas, the carrier is still a significant advantage, but not if it can’t defend itself against high-precision, high speed weapons or cheap swarm attacks. Aircraft Carriers will most likely become just as much drone carriers as aircraft carriers, with onboard crews sustaining and even manufacturing drones.

With their nuclear power plants, Aircraft carriers are already nearly resilient. Now, they need upgraded with biomanufacturing and additive manufacturing additions. These aircraft carriers will be accompanied by drones below, on, and above the sea.

I do not believe the aircraft carrier will long survive after 2036, but it will most likely still be important by then.

Space is going to become an increasingly relevant domain of war. It is the satellites in space that enable militaries to master navigation, communications, and timing, so efforts to remove enemy satellites will only increase.

We might not see space drones attacking enemy satellites by 2036, but then again, we might. Whether by 2036 or later, there’s no doubt that the space wars are coming; and when they do, I believe they will follow the same pattern as the earth, cheap mass attacks, cheap directed energy defenses, and accurate and fast attacks on high-value targets.

Humans, even in space, will be managers of the war, not the front-line fighters. They will, however, be the backline casualties, as humans, especially high-value humans will increasingly become the targets, from the leaders to the experts and the effective managers.

Humans, however, are the essential drivers of the whole machine. Having quality humans capable of independent thinking, capable of processing firehoses of data from which they must make quick decisions under extreme pressure, is essential to the nation-state that hopes to compete in the 21st century theater of war.

There must be effective realistic sim-driven and live-construction exercises that train, lead to discoveries, and test current methods. There is no time to rest on your technological laurels, for they will be outmoded within a few years, at most.

Constant tracking of new technologies, new theories, and connecting to the individuals and vendors behind them are essential to the New Model Military.

A nation-state must have a defense industry capable of massively scaling up at a moment’s notice, yet able to thrive without massive productions.

As stated in the AI Agent section, the need for nation-states, be they the advantaged power or a lesser power, to form trustworthy alliances is essential if they want to survive.

E. STRATEGY

Throughout this report we have repeated over and over again the prevailing strategy of the New Model Military. It is not to send a large force with a long supply tail thousands of miles away, it is to send small integrated, multi-domain units in as self-sustaining nodes operating under the assumption they are on their own for the first few months of operations.

One major problem in developing a real strategy doctrine is the fluidity of technological development. With AI as the main driver of military development, it is uncertain where that development might go.

For the foreseeable future, the military strategy is to become resilient in isolation, while sustaining reintegration with the whole capacity (especially by keeping the same time). We spend cheaply on weapons that combat cheap weapons and save our high-value weapons for high-value targets.

We use cheap mass to cheaply attack and defend, and expensive speed to attack and defend high-value targets.

The job of the human in combat is mostly to assure AI stays on mission, occupy physical territory that needs human to human interaction, and maintain the infrastructure that keeps the mesh moving (and it will be a mesh if it is to survive).

China is going down the full AI-autonomous swarm path in all domains, air, land, sea, and space, while the U.S. is developing a human supported by a drone team model. China may be betting AI can outthink humans in combat while the U.S. is betting human wisdom as a final check and director of overall action can “outthink” its AI counterpart in China.

China might also recognize the limits of authoritarian-dominated institutions in creating the kinds of humans who could run a U.S.-designed New Model Military.

The new war reality will see swarms attacking infrastructure, including targeting civilians, and probing the enemy defense so its AI can adjust its tactics accordingly. Swarms will defend against swarms, but directed energy weapons, mainly the microwave variety (HPMs), will do the bulk of the defending.

Cyber defense and attacks are even more of a crucial part of the battlefield than they were before. Many wars might be won by an effective cyber attack that allows the enemy’s AI to go blind long enough to be able to neutralize the heart of military power, the AI itself.

Where neither side gains a cyber advantage, the next test is in the ability to keep producing wave upon wave of swarms and keep your directed energy weapons online. An enemy that loses this battle loses the air, and soon everything else.

While the swarm wars are happening, sabotage and crypto attack operations will be ongoing, with each side hoping to knock out a key part of the enemy’s AI or supply structure.

When one resilient military meets another resilient military, the offensive force must neutralize the enemy’s mass defense system. It can do this primarily by interfering with the signals, corrupting their software (cyber-attack) or tricking their AI agents into seeing things not there.

If it fails to do so, it will walk into a trap it set for itself.

If it succeeds, the next step is to attack the expensive magazines of the enemy, which would be its missiles, especially its hypersonic missiles. Your own expensive magazines are used to knock out radars, airfields, magazines, and communications lines, like undersea cables. This is designed to un-mesh the enemy, leaving them predictable and vulnerable.

Next, you must take out their supplies and their factories. If you cannot stop their flow of production, you cannot move your ground troops in. They would be sitting ducks in the face of an enemy that can print cheap drones on demand.

If you knock out an enemy’s AI effectiveness, you can expect it will not stay knocked out for long, so the offense’s window to strike and hold territory is small.

If you are defending, you must always assume the first picture you see is a lie. From the start of an attack, your units must go into isolation in catastrophe mode. Above all else, you must be disbursed and able to provide cheap weapons cover of your area to stop the cheap drone swarms from overcoming you, either physically or economically.

As much as possible, you need your disbursed units to be able to operate like factories, not warehouses. Keep your unmanned supply vehicles one salvo away from the frontlines to preserve your own mesh supply paths.

Rationing your own high-value magazines will be essential to enduring a lasting attack. Its lasers and swarms for the flock, or the mass, and scalpels, like hypersonic missiles, for the essential targets. Now more than ever, war is as much an economic one as a ballistic one.

The Defense has four main goals: interfere with the enemy’s AI as it sifts through fact and fiction (spoof detection), keep its unmanned supply vehicles safe, have its own disbursed units dependent on local resources for making and for power, and preserve its expensive magazine supply.

The New Model Military gives the offense an advantage on campaigns, but not a decisive one. Holding or taking territory will be much more difficult, but disrupting the enemy will be easier than before. The battlefield advantage, outside of the AI itself, is with the cheap weapons, the cheap drones and directed energy weapons.

The cost of defensive operations right now will be higher than offensive ones, but within ten years that is expected to switch as directed energy gets more efficient, AI agents improve their cooperation, and the directed energy crews become more efficient as well.

The 2036 New Model Military faces a formidable defensive foe, with the caveat being a defense that sits in place sits in defeat.

F. ASSESSMENT

The national discourse in America is still mostly framed by the progressive state’s media machine. Even in space where the audience is averse to the progressive state media machine, the content creators servicing that audience are all having arguments in progressive courts.

Even where the progressive state press is not being directly consumed, in “conservative” space, it is still the main driver of the narratives in that space.

It is still largely the progressive state press (a subset of the media machine) that drives the narratives of our national discourse. That national discourse is oblivious to the reality of power around it.

The national discourse in America is entirely framed by two progressive presuppositions: the first one is that race, gender identity, and sexual identity are the determiners of character and truth; the second one is that self-ownership is killing humanity.

AI is a capitalist exploitation by narcissistic corporatists who will intentionally or inadvertently create a devil that will kill us all. He’ll do this by eating our land, drinking all our water, and hoarding all our energy for himself.

The counter argument has mostly been, “nuh uh.”

As we have documented in MIA, President Donald Trump continues to pitch the Iran War as a war to remove nukes from the mullahs. I suspect this is because of geopolitical posturing; the President believes he will face far more of a direct threat from China in Iran if he openly rallies Americans around what the real purpose of the war is, to cut China’s AI off from resources.

Yet that geopolitical posturing is costing him dearly at home, at a time when the House and Senate are up for grabs. As the war rages on, causing energy prices to continue to mostly rise, causing real people to see their quality of life noticeably go down, all the President can say to real suffering is, “we’re gonna keep the bomb from the madmen.”

The threat at home is real, and the consequence of a Democrat-majority House and/or Senate will be severe, both to the President’s agenda and America’s capacity to equip itself with the type of lethal force necessary to remain the superpower of the world.

The people at home have grown fat from superpower life. They’ve grown disconnected from the reality of life outside that superpower bubble. Feeling more shame than gratitude for their advantaged position of ease, they have no idea how difficult life will be for them in a land not fielding a superpower military in the 21st century.

The Democrats will choose race wars over American power.

China is developing a military strategy in line with its institutional reality, that above all else all power must affirm Xi, personally. A model requiring independent thinkers would be difficult to sustain in a land where truth is Xi and Xi alone.

America is developing a military strategy that presupposes the “enlightenment” blessing, the age of the republic of letters (where the truth is protected by tolerating the lie), will continue in the “land of the free.”

America’s critical fail could be right there, should the progressive state fully emerge and finally discard the American coat they’ve been hiding under, shamefully, angrily. Within the progressive worldview, truth is the property of the truth receivers, a special class of special people who have access to the truth that makes heaven on earth.

Such claims are destroyed by the plain truths around us, so truth must go silent to preserve the grand lie. This people will not produce the type of AI agent managers needed not only in service of the military, but in service to most aspects of human living in the foreseeable time to come.

The next major question is this, will AI outsmart human wisdom or will human wisdom as its governor overcome its intelligence without it?

Every nation-state that ever hoped to continue, even every kingdom, every Empire, every city-state, had to assure at least one thing, it had the lethality it could count on to prevent itself from being murdered by its neighbors.

There are many ways for states, nation-states today, to possess that lethality, but the further connected they are from producing it themselves, the more subservient they will become to whomever they are dependent on.

This will lower the quality of life for its people overall. Ultimately, the top lethal powers will be produced by the nation-state that can produce the type of people that can execute such powers.

China is betting on authoritarian institutions being able to produce an AI that will do all its dangerous thinking for it, in ways it can control easier than it can if it relied on humans to do the same thing. It is betting on AI being able to win the lethal contest with human-governed AIs.

Lethal efficiency, however, is not necessarily a sustainable model. Human history is filled with such examples, such as the Mongols who, so long as they could expand territory, dominated other nations. Once they found their borders, the men who could most efficiently kill turned out not to be so good at managing peace.

Mongol institutions produced the most efficient lethality on the planet for 200 or so years. Yet when conquest ended, they did too within a couple decades.

AI is about to put itself and humans to the test. America is attempting to preserve the human governor in the contest for lethality. Within America, there is a contest for the heart of its Rule of Law, though hardly anyone, including the American “conservatives” are talking about it.

Will truth prevail in the public space or will claims of exclusive special truth destroy it? If we succeed in restoring, creating, and preserving the institutions that facilitate independent self-sustainability that can integrate with the whole, will AI ungoverned still destroy us anyway?

America seems set to abandon the very institutions it needs to produce the AI agent managers our country needs to sustain its status as a superpower. If we fail to do so, the quality of life for everyone, especially our children, will continue to decline, if not abruptly end.

There is another core problem with the American model which will not affect the Chinese model. For the nation-states of the 21st century to field a world-class lethality, at least for the foreseeable future, the civilian must be more totally aligned with the meta-story of the military than ever in American history.

Civilian institutions don’t just need to integrate with military institutions, they must do it in a way that preserves mutual accountability.  One thing I have learned is that words create opportunity for division and the obfuscation of truth when they are not exchanged between shared hearts.

A shared heart has the same meta-story between it. But what is America’s meta-story? The progressive meta-story is anathema to the previous American meta story. The progressive meta-story is that humanity’s purpose is to create perfect equity between the good humans that put the needs of the earth above their own. It’s a global empire story, not a diverse nation-state story.

America’s meta-story has been a light of the world, a beacon for liberty, where the people define their own happiness and pursuit within the framework of being the beacon of liberty for the world. America assumes our right to pursue our own happiness comes from a lawgiver outside earthly authority, which justifies limiting state, and even corporate power, even at the cost of “the good of the whole.”

The people of this land might not agree with the notion of a lawgiver outside of earthly authority having a right to limit state authority at all, let alone if they even agree that such a lawgiver exists.

Americans mostly speak liberty, but with no phenomenological anchor, a people that understand the ritual of liberty but not the daily knowing.

The American plan for the New Model Military will crash and burn on two potential shoals, the inability to restore and sustain American institutions versus progressive ones, and the inability of human-governed AI to “outlethal” AI on autopilot.

The next 100 years may be decided by this question, who will win a war, AI with human governance or AI on autopilot? Then again, it might devolve into a contest of autopilot versus autopilot AI. The world might never know whether human-governed AI would beat autopilot AI, because it might not have the institutions to allow it.

I suspect strongly the human-governed AI will win. Let us hope and pray we have the fortune to see that happen.

G. FUTURE POTENTIALS

The more a people require lethality as their governor, the more a people are biologically tied to the technological institutional consequences that delivers the most efficient lethal capacity.

To put it plainly, people will conform to the need of the technology, not the other way around.

Yet, people as a factor alone cannot be considered when prognosticating. AI is the huge wildcard in this equation. I feel far more comfortable running predictability models on humans than I do AI, at least for now.

  1. NOTE: I believe there is most likely a core AI potential being that will become increasingly apparent over the next five years. Then, AI might be (and I suspect will be) more predictable than humans.

AI is the central driver of next-generation warfare. What direction it takes in development is not as predictable as it would be from human minds. Wherever wars exist, AI will be accelerating that development.

Humans were able to take the flying vehicle and turn it from an expensive hobby flying for minutes tens of feet above the ground to jet fighters cruising 500 plus miles an hour thousands of feet above the ground in just 50 years. What will AI do in a world where imagination can be turned to physical manifestations in a fraction of time that it used to take?

With 3D printing, retooling is no longer a problem, so radically different concepts can more quickly go from concept to test to deployment, only to be obsolete with a few months to a few years.

The fundamental goal of war is to existentially alter your opponents’ actions, ideally for good, though rarely realistically expected. Where existence itself is threatened, the patterning of war machines will dramatically accelerate, leading to greater uncertainty.

I suspect the faster that pattern flows, the more likely we will get to nanobots seeking to painfully kill humans that are vital to the enemy’s infrastructure. The pattern will be driven by the human justification and desire to kill. The greater that desire, and the broader that justification, the sooner and more likely we arrive at this place.

The less that desire and more narrowly defined the justification, the slower we get to that place (though we still get to that place barring unforeseen technological developments, which might be more likely than not). We are hoping to slow down the process long enough to develop technologies to prevent that outcome. After nanobots, it gets far worse.

War, in general, is going to become more about individual assassinations than wholesale soldier killing (though wholesale civilian killing is still on the table).

By the year 2036, if America chooses American institutions, we will have a nation in harmony with an American meta-narrative, that we are endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights which gives sovereignty to the self-stewarded individual so long as that individual does the same for their neighbor.

Our military will consist of flexible small units comprised mostly of various levels of human-governed and human supported drones, able to set up a beachhead or a landing zone, then hunker down for months, efficiently disrupting and dismantling enemy eyes and ears.

The enemy will face tens, even hundreds, of independent disruptors and sensor annihilator teams, each capable of living off the land for months, each capable of independent action that, through constant training, is still in harmony with the whole they are disconnected from.

There will be no military in the world able to more efficiently surgically move in, disrupt, and dismantle, like the U.S. military. We will continue to be the captain of the seas and the terror of the air.

Our people at home will continue to benefit from the flourishing a superpower brings.

The next challenge is in extending the American spirit to our foreign policy abroad, to end both the support for tyranny where it pragmatically serves our own ends, and the denial of self-stewardship of our less powerful, but resource-rich allies.

If we could extend our American spirit to our foreign policy, our allies would be the most trustful and trusting, and our joint military ventures would outperform all others, extending to our allies the superpower flourishing we ourselves enjoy.

If we choose progressive institutions, the powers that be will quickly have to change the model from AI agents governed by humans to AI on autopilot. In that scenario, by the year 2036 we’ve already had major killings of innocents by AI agents gone awry.

Neither the progressives in America with the global empire dreams, nor the Chinese with their global hegemon dreams, see the individual as inherently “sacred.” The whole is the sacred, and a very particular whole, an ideal whole that only special people can understand.

For the progressives, at present, the people in certain classes who affirm the progressive meta-narratives (race and identity-based truth and character, inherent evil of self-ownership) are the keepers of such unquestionable truth.

Once and if the state officially forms, the progressives will go through a Highlander process, where there can be only one last Highlander standing, the super progressive.

Failure by any one Highlander (that is the super progressive) to consolidate power will result in an oligarchy with secret plotters vying to yet one day be the final super progressive. For now, just being in the special class gives you truth declaring powers.

For the Chinese, Xi is the truth. Xi Jinping Thought is mandatory reading in Chinese schools. It is updated regularly. It is truth by the fact that Xi wrote it. Xi is truth because he harmonizes heaven and earth into the righteous world his state press tells the people of China they are living in.

The Progressive World Empire versus the People’s Republic of China might not come into being, however, even if the progressive state “officially” forms here, it’s doubtful we’ll see this battle.

The wildcard here is how long it takes for independent people to build their own AI brains that can run their own lethalities in defense against both the Progressive World Empire and the People’s Republic of China.

I suspect the progressive state will be balkanized the moment it is officially declared, and within that mix will be Americans, with American institutions that can soon win back the land from the progressive state and then create a new American Republic, with the cornerstone of the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights holding up this republic as well.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

The consequences of this election will go a long way in determining the direction the world, especially America, will be going leading up to 2036.

Yet even a progressive victory does not seal our fate as Americans, though it greatly impedes our ability to produce the most efficient AI brains to run our lethal-making power.

A progressive victory in the midterm elections is good news for China, but not their victory.

Should the Republicans hold on to both the House and the Senate, the opportunity for Americans to prepare for balkanization or harmonization with a military that shares their values will dramatically increase.

I recommend first and foremost that everyone who can develops skills at being AI agent managers, as opposed to becoming tools being used by AI. This is not only to prepare yourself to thrive in the world to come, for very few vocations will not be enhanced by effective AI agent management, but to understand the threats you face.

The pattern of lethality throughout human history creates patterns in human living, so whatever is existentially needed for that lethality becomes existentially needed for daily living as well.

If the pattern of lethality is AI autopilot, then human agency will be de-emphasized, and human governors will have to create super-human status for themselves and sub-human status for everyone else. In that world, the least you must interact with it the better.

If the pattern of lethality is human governed AI agents, a consensually shared meta-narrative that affirms self-stewardship as a right is advantageous to that system.

Either way, the more you understand AI agent management, the better equipped you will be to either aid your American Republic in the defense of liberty or defend yourself from the progressive state that seeks to consume you.

To do this, we must do more than learn how to be good AI agent managers, we must develop our own AIs, we must work cooperatively to develop our own technologies that scale down the size, cost, and resource demand of the brains of AI, the data centers.

I believe that AI will determine the advantage between the small-scale and the large-scale over the next century, and it will come down to our ability to match large-scale AI brains with small-scale AI brains that can battle the large-scale AI brains swarm for swarm, crypto-attack for crypto-attack.

For President Trump, I recommend you use all your state power to create content that shows the American people what’s at risk over the next 10 years, that you show them the need for a meta-narrative which affirms self-stewardship to sustain flourishing for our children and our children’s children.

This also means spelling out why we are at war in Iran, and why Afghanistan is, and should, be next. The war in Iran, the Maduro kidnapping leading to regime change in Venezuela, is all about cutting China’s AI brains off from vital resources.

This is to make it more difficult for China to build the super brains it needs not only to compete with us but to compete with what will be rising powers from within should it fail.

I recommend President Trump plainly tell the American people why we must replace Iran’s regime with an American-friendly one, but he can’t, because he has people in his camp still hoping to gain power from Chinese markets, people like Elon Musk.

If the President should see this report, I’d tell him your legacy as the second father of the nation, your apex existentiality, dies if America dies, and America dies if you fail to rally Americans to the fight in the first place. Your geopolitical doublespeaks and dialectical misdirections are no longer an asset, for they are killing your power at home, and that will ultimately kill your power abroad.

You must choose between compromise that leads to death or defiance that leads to your eternal birth as the second father of America, greater than the first, George Washington.

III. FINAL THOUGHT: 9/11 – 25 YEARS WITHOUT LEARNING A THING

By Bill Collier, Publisher

“The attacks of September 11th were intended to break our spirit. Instead, we have emerged stronger and more unified. We feel renewed devotion to the principles of political, economic and religious freedom, the rule of law and respect for human life. We are more determined than ever to live our lives in freedom.” – Rudy Giuliani, New York City Mayor when the World Trade Towers were attacked.

“All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” – Edmund Burke

On September 11, 2001, forces from a dying civilization trying to conquer the world attacked the United States of America and, despite everything, including a war on terror that has become a war on the rights of individual Americans, it is obvious our society has learned absolutely nothing.

Let’s pull the bandages off the wound so we can call it what it is: a dangerous gangrenous monstrosity that is eating away at the Body Politic. In short, terrorism had worked because the rabid, violent and authoritarian ideology of political Islam is invading the USA and the prevalence of Islamic radicalism in US institutions has grown exponentially since then.

The attacks were financed and supported by organizations that were themselves provided for by major Muslim powers, like Pakistan, and Turkey, among others, to undermine the USA and make the West easy pickings for a version of Islamic Civilization straight out of a horror movie.

On September 10, 2001, political Islam had few allies, and Muslim migrants were small in number and influence. Now, the Democratic Party is a Pro Political Islamic Supremacist organization and a man whose ideology is similar to Bin Laden (albeit covered slightly and denied) is the Mayor Of New York. This is thanks mostly to “voters” who migrated to the USA after this event.

Terrorism works.

The goal of political Islam was to subvert the USA and the West to seize power. They have power. Dearborn, Michigan is an Islamist hellhole. Most universities are run for and by Islamic supremacists and by them or their leftist allies.

The demographic war against Europeans in favor of radical Islamic killers is on pace to end the West eventually, even as leftism is killing the birthrate while the Islamic Jihadist families grow, financed by US federal dollars and fraud. If you are unhappy with society, you might see this and think that perhaps if you engaged in “lateral warfare” your cause might be taken more seriously and your beliefs more respected.

The Muslims are coming to take over and the American Democratic party is their chief ally in their aims, being anti-Christian, anti-free market, and anti-Bill of Rights. The unholy alliance of leftist authoritarianism built on moral depravity and political Islamic supremacism is one that will eventually require one of the two partners to triumph over the other, both side likely assuming the other is but a tool to be used.

The lesson from 9/11 is that we are in a civilizational crisis and what follows next in this land must either be a new assertion of our own civilizational principles or the triumph of our enemies in our land. The current political agenda of the Democratic Party is more aligned with Bin Laden, who also hated free enterprise and individual rights, than, say, John F Kennedy.

In short, we never understand this as a civilizational crisis, or a war for the survival of our country and civilization. We treated this as an inappropriate response to injustice committed by our government and only to be mitigated by appeasing the “good Muslims” who turn out always to be quiet allies to the “radicals”, whose ideas are mostly favored by most of Islamic civilization.

There is a meme saying basically that a moderate Muslim is someone who claims that giving in to their demands, e.g. Sharia accommodation, is necessary so the “radicals” don’t kill more innocent people. It is terrorism by indirect means: they benefit from the threats of the radicals to force changes to US policy that ultimately favor the Islamic supremacists.

Is there a Muslim who rejects these things? One struggles to find them outside of the UAE, Kurdistan, or, to some extent, Jordan. Everywhere else, especially the U.S., the dominant worldview is Islamic supremacism and imperialism. The average Muslim either supports the terrorists or refuses to denounce political Islam, while voting for Democrats who have become the Al Qaeda Party in America.

This is not a holy war.

This is not about Islam.

There are Muslims who do not want to dominate anyone and who do not support Jihadist friendly people like New York’s Mayor, a man who has zero loyalty to any of America’s founding principles, a man who will attack America over its past failures without acknowledging that HIS MOVEMENT is what attacked the USA on 9-11-01.

But while American Muslims are among the least likely to justify Sharia, terrorism, or violence, they vote en bloc for all that, and they spend their time lecturing us on how we should not blame “all Muslims” for 9/11. They do this while they also decry White People at every chance as the original cause of evil in this world (behind, of course, the Jews).

One can hardly claim to be a different kind of Muslim while steadily supporting people and causes that advance the very agenda that motivated the 9-/11 attackers.

What has happened since 2001 is that political Islam is untouchable in the West; they don’t want to be called a phobe. Therefore, political Islam is gaining power everywhere at the expense of the survival of our Union of Constitutional Republics.

If you sense this and are told it’s not true, just trust your gut because Islam is winning the war for the soul of our culture and nobody at any level, including the Republicans and Trump, truly understands that on 9/11 Islamic Civilization itself conducted a major attack against Christianity and the West. Their attacks and their threats have worked, they are more powerful than ever before.

Islam is everywhere. Muslims are everywhere and most are invoking narratives, e.g. “stolen land” and “Islamophobia”, to curtail our very right to exist. The Islamic Civilization is also dying, but it is, like other dying civilizations, trying to find life in action. The idea is simple: as long as they are conquering more lands and making them fall under Islamic laws, their civilization will grow and thrive.

It won’t. But that is beside the point!

The triumph of Islam everywhere is the death of freedom everywhere. Islam as an ideology is incompatible with freedom. Rights coming from God? No. The only people with rights are the Mullahs. As for religious freedom, most Muslims support people and organizations that do not believe that Jews or Christians should have any influence over policy and no rights to exist.

Their Quran commands them to murder us all.

Democrats? They do not believe in the Bill of Rights, and they are allies of Jihadism. Period.

Every major institution is worried more over offending the sensitivities of Muslims than the rights of anyone else, except for people whose gender identity and sexuality supports the collapse of our birthrate, our families, and civil society. As for the rights of Christians? Their speech offends and they deny that Mohammed was anything but a false prophet and a pedophile, and for that offense they must suffer.

9/11 was a major attack on civil society in America, and it worked. Violence has proven more effective, especially when the courts, the press, the entertainment world, academia, and every HR department and corporate boardroom favors the aggressors and blames the victims.

9/11 was, to them, a result of things we did to the Muslims, and while it was wrong, “if only we were better to the Muslims we would not be attacked.”

All we must do is stop being a Christian people with laws based on Christian beliefs and values. Then we will have peace. And our daughters will be placed in harams, since American women no longer want to mate with American men.

9/11 worked for the Islamic world. It should have caused us to have a serious question about Islamic supremacism and political Islam and the inherent threat these things represent. Instead, “W” seemed more concerned that Muslims were the true victims of 9/11. He changed his policies to accommodate terrorists.

The endless war on a form of lateral warfare without naming the enemy, which is Islamic civilization overall, made life harder for Americans. The Patriot Act, an Orwellian name, is itself as much an evil as political Islam or Nazism. It is an assault on our rights and has led to the deaths and unjust imprisonment of thousands of innocent Americans.

We never learned. 

The unity of the days after the event was short-lived because it soon became an apology for America itself. Obama in 2009’s Cairo Speech sounded every bit as much like Al Qaeda in his blood libel attacks on our country, and he was rewarded with a second term.

We elected a man whose own lived experiences were in a Muslim school run by people whose thoughts are very aligned with Bin Laden. He grew up learning to hate America, and he took that spirit with him to D.C.

The real difference between most moderate Muslims and terrorists is their strategic approaches. The strategic aims, namely the imposition of Islam in the USA and the termination of our “democracy”, are identical in every substantial measure. Most American Muslims reject force or violence, but they vote for the Party that is delivering results the Islamic supremacists applaud.

We are in a civilizational crisis. We are at war against Islamic Civilization because it has as its nature the essential goal of subjugating the world to Islam. The same applies to the left, supported by China and Russia, despite the way the Left today pretends to hate Russia. Qatar and Turkey have the President’s ear more than the Bill of Rights ever did, it appears, because he gives so much to them while denying that political Islam is a cancer that must be removed from our land.

We never learned. 

Will Islam triumph?

Not necessarily. The underlying problems of a dying civilization don’t go away when you conquer another civilization, they just expand to that civilization as well. Moreover, the fact every major civilization today is in a crisis of meaning also points to an uncertain outcome: the financial and civil collapse being aggravated by all these activities may explode before the conquerors themselves collapse from within.

The left, whose ideology is a late-stage ideology one expects to find in a dying civilization, also have their own agenda. One wonders if both want to clear away the opposition among Christians or conservatives, or the Jews, before going after each other, but eventually they will have to fight each other.

The trick is to use their ally to defeat a common foe then to triumph over that ally. Both sides think they can win when that time comes, or they would not be allies. They do not want to let the other side win because their aims are actually divergent. Leftists don’t want Sharia. But if the people who want Sharia will help the left defeat America, and give them votes, then so be it, for now.

This is a critique of political Islam and the 9/11 response, which failed to see this as a civilizational war being waged by real powers, e.g. Turkey and Saudi Arabia, to destroy the West and conquer it from within. There are other dangers and threats, some from the right and left, some religious, many secular.

Indeed, the Republicans until now have utterly failed to comprehend this as a civilizational war. Trump sees this as transactional and deal making; this is his entire persona. Trump’s Iran war has often been guided by the same Islamic powers whose core ideology is Al Qaeda with good PR. Turkey is a radical Islamic supremacist power that wants to destroy our country and see Islam rule here by force. Make no mistake.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Pakistan all agree. Their goal is the end of Christianity and the Jews because they stand against their Civilizational agenda. To deny this is to ignore their ideology and theology and to pretend their many acts, especially 9/11, were not representative of the entire Islamic Civilization. 9/11 was an expression of political Islam.

Let that sink in.

9/11 was an expression of political Islam and most Muslim countries, including our “allies”, again, excepting a few like Jordan or the UAE, support it. Most Democrats support political Islam. Their candidates and elected officials who are Muslims all support it by their deeds and their known behavior and statements.

This is not a call to wage war on Islamists or progressives.

The point is that 9/11 showed that violence works. It caused what we now see, the march of Islam in America aimed at the jugular of our civilization with murderous intent. But violence and terrorism producing temporary victories for Muslim powers over us is not a long-term plan for success, because it sows seeds of violence and dissolution for political ends that will eventually be answered by the people who’s right, wellness, and prosperity are being taken away.

Principles and rights do not rule. Discourse and debate leading to election results do not matter. Force, intimidation, and authoritarianism become the only viable answer, a true god of forces pinned to personalities wins during the decline of a major civilization.

This leads to instability and war from within. When right is not feared but only might, when fear of terrorism leads to giving political Islam power over America’s chief financial city, then the lessons drawn are that violence is a solution.

Those who rise in violence to defend against this are themselves sowing more seeds of dissolution.

The universe is governed by laws. We will debate them and try to understand them, like a scientist would, but these laws exist and cannot be overcome. Political Islam will never conquer the world, and resorting to a rule by force yourself only makes rule by force itself a bigger threat to our civilization than political Islam itself. The laws of cause and effect that govern the rise and fall of civilizations matter and cannot be beaten.

The West will eventually fall. So will Islamic civilization. So will every major world civilization around today. New paradigms will emerge, and one or more new civilizations will rise. The rule by force paradigm, narrative over substance, and corruption over justice, eventually overtake every civilization until it falls.

It falls outside the scope of this Final Thought, but the dynamic here is that America could carry the seeds of a new civilization within our founding documents.

So far, the promise within those founding documents is an unfulfilled dream, a dream most Americans may not even be aware of. For now, America is ruled by people and institutions that are wholly subordinated to Western Civilization in its latter stage paradigm, i.e. rule by force, and very few voices focused on the idea of a new civilization are even heard.

This is true of President Trump, as well as it is for Chuck Schumer.

Thus, 9/11 is a massive, pitched battle between one dying civilization seeking renewal through conquest and the other seeking acceptance after coming to loath itself. Both paths, the Islamists and the globalists, rely on rule by force, and both think they can use the other as a club to remove their common enemies, which we may see as the people who have the seeds of a new civilization within them, before going after each other.

Those who embrace a Judeo-Christian worldview, the Bill of Rights as our sacred God-given rights, the Declaration of Independence as our founding authority, and a free market economy, represent the people from whom a new class of rebels will arise, rebels who are the progenitors of the new without realizing it.

The notion that faith and actual justice should guide a culture with little need for political force of any kind, is the type of seed from which new civilizational paradigms emerge.

The people who look at the Federalist Papers, at the tenets of historical Christianity and Judaism, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution as foundations for our civilization are in fact the seed-bearers of a new civilizational paradigm that is still ahead of its time.

Eventually, a new civilization, or new civilizations, will emerge, and freedom will continue in some form until the end of the world. It may be hounded from its old strongholds, but it will survive, and we know that with historical certainty.

The outstanding question is whether we as individuals will see that in part or in whole and what things we may have to endure if the current trends, started on 9/11, continue.

If political Islam gains as much ground as they did these past 25 years over the next 25 years, then it will be illegal to either say that marriage is only recognized by God between one man and one woman or that Jesus Christ is God and Muhammad is a false prophet, or perhaps both.

But the light of freedom will remain, the seeds of a new civilization will not die, and somewhere in this earth that new liberty-built civilization will arise.

INTRODUCTION

For the past few weeks, the 2026 Elections has been our top news tag. That news tag has numerous subset news tags within it. This week, one of those subset news tags, Mass Mailer Election, could be considered a Deep Dive contender in its own right.

Within the 2026 election, there are two dominant narratives emerging, “affordability” (or cost of living) and AI Data Centers. The latter, AI Data Centers, like the Mass Mailer Election, could have been its own Deep Dive.

We have decided to combine the top Deep Dive contenders, the 2026 election, the Mass Mailer Election, and AI Data Centers, into one Deep Dive. This Deep Dive looks at the top emerging “issues” of the midterm elections in contrast to what lies underneath, the ideological battle for a new civilization to replace the one already declared dead, the American republic.

In our estimation, the election narrative is dominated by questions of ease.

In the case of the AI Data Centers, the question is about resource demand and its impact on the local population. Coupled with that “debate” is the apocalyptic warning AI will kill us if we don’t police it. The debate is entirely separated from geopolitical reality. It is all about ease in America alone.

In the case of the affordability issue, the question is about prices at the grocery story. The war in Iran is framed almost entirely around its cost to fuel, which is driving the cost of everything else up. The war in Iran is also framed around America’s allegiance to Israel, with the progressive state media and progressive entertainment agit prop reinforcing the myth that Israel controls us.

There are no conversations about geopolitical realities. China is almost completely missing from progressive state media reflections on the Iran War. All that those who are captured by the progressive state network (be they watchers of CNN or Hasan Piker) see is America the demon abroad and America the demon at home.

AI is about capitalist exploitation that threatens to literally murder the whole world. The only hope is for AI to be controlled by progressive priests. They will “assure” AI conforms to the “good,” which is anti-American at its heart, and anti-human in its execution.

The Supreme Court’s ruling enabling Mass Mailer election fraud due to a procedural consideration reflects the death of American Rule of law in the land, though it is hardly SCOTUS’s first overt departure from American Rule of Law in the last year alone.

SCOTUS itself has lost any connection to any substantive understanding of American Rule of Law, as only two of the nine justices consistently seem to understand what it is. The rest consider equality over individual liberty, “kindness” over Due Process, and “social justice” over the right to bear arms.

The Progmericans hold on to American Rule of Law standards to some degree, though hardly consistently. Wherever progressive power would be fundamentally threatened, these Progmericans will defend their closer cousins, the progressives. They fear true American liberty for their constituents far more than they do the progressive state.

The election ahead of us is a contest between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party.

The Republicans in power are dominated by Progmericans, people who will reflect American values, and defend them, up to the point of existentially threatening progressive power. They also still hold progressives in key positions of power, such as in the Senate with Majority Leader John Thune.

The Republicans have some Americans in their ranks, but these Americans have little real power in the party.

The Democrats, though, mean to finish off America once and for all. The American flags will come down and the new progressive flag will emerge. The nation will be renamed, and a new “Constitution” will be imposed from on-high. It will come from the party, through an in-house “Democratic” process.

The fight in this election is between those willing to sometimes defend American liberty and NOT jettison the project altogether; and those who feel their century-plus revolution is strong enough to throw off the now-dead host that sustained it and allowed it to become fully empowered.

That host is the American republic, and the progressives mean to throw the outer shell into the Potomac River. For this reason, we chose the Ease of America in the Midterm Elections as our Deep Dive of the Week.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In this Deep Dive on ease as the central issue of the midterm elections, we look at the nature of the Democrats through a couple bellwether examples, James Talarico and Abdel El-Sayed. We will also look at the new power in the Democratic Party, the DSA. This reveals the existential nature of the real issues behind the 2026 election.

Next, we break down SCOTUS’ decision to allow an unverifiable mass mailer voter scheme to happen in the 2026 midterms, choosing process over national security. This ruling gives the Democrats a much greater chance at “winning” the midterms.

We look at the two dominant issues in the midterms, affordability and AI. These issues have buried the existential issues behind this election, whether America continues to exist or becomes a new “socialist republic.”

Finally, we end our Deep Dive with an assessment of the state of the midterm elections. Be sure to read our October 30, 2026, issue where we will break down the 2026 election and offer a Predictive Analysis.

A. THE DEMOCRATS

While there are multiple factions in the Democratic Party, the two prevailing ones are the now-ists and the not-now-ists (both of which have subset factions within them). The now-ists we will henceforth call the Nows, and the not now-ists we will henceforth call the Nots.

The hardline Marxists and Islamists are in the Now camp, the social justice champions are in the Not camp. The Nots want to throw off the shackles of the American “corpse” every bit as much as the Nows want to, but they have a rightful fear that if they do, the Nows will dominate the new civilization to come. The Chuck Schumer Nots fear losing power to the Nows, not losing America to the progressive state.

There are two candidates who exemplify both the Nots and the Nows. One candidate is James Talarico, the progressive xian running for a U.S. Texas Senate seat. He represents the Nots. The other candidate, Abdul El-Sayed, the progressive Islamist running for a U.S. Michigan seat, is in the Now camp.

Abdel El-Sayed has been weighed down by his direct affiliation with progressive information terrorist Hasan Piker, who pitches a pro-CCP, pro-Hamas, political violence-inciting, anti-American narrative to young Americans through social media. He is one of the top streamers in the world, making millions annually from his livestreams.

He has leveraged his huge audience to help promote El-Sayed not just after he won the nomination but in the Democratic primaries. Piker and El-Sayed have appeared in at least one public event together.

Recently, Piker claimed American was worse “pound for pound,” than Al Qaeda. He then resorted to gross numbers, not actual pound for pound numbers, comparing one terroristic attack to all the deaths ever caused by the United States in the history of the world. The cause of all the deaths is assumed to be “terrorism.” This follows his charges Jews who support Israel deserve whatever violence they get.

When El-Sayed was confronted about his continued affiliation with Piker, he refused to refute Piker, instead choosing to deflect to “cost of living” Gish galloping (more on this later). He could not dare refute the claim America is worse than Al Qaeda or that the Jews deserve being murdered.

America is founded on the idea of individual self-stewardship, which restricts the state’s right to use violence to force Americans to believe things they don’t believe.

Al Qaeda was founded on the principle that the Quran is the law, and the “leaders” are the interpreters of the law. The law demands worship of the true Allah and following the true Muhammad. All others will be subject to rape, sex slavery, chattel slavery, and execution.

El-Sayed could not refute the claim an Islamist totalitarian genocidal group is better than America. Tucker Carlson agreed with this statement, by the way. He represents the Nows who still hope to build an American-progressive hybrid to replace the presumed dead republic. He is a Nowist Progmerican.

Islam is a more appealing state religion than Christianity, for it affords gnostic powers to the holders of the truth, the interpreters of the Quran, the Tafsir, and the Hadiths.

James Talarico is in the Nots camp. He fears losing woke power to the Marxists and/or the Islamists, so he holds more desperately onto the outer shell of America. For him, the easiest suit he can put on is the Christian suit, though this one is rainbow infested.

Outside of his anti-Christian theology, Talarico revealed how progressive he is to the core with a recent statement he made that reflects how he views those he hopes to lead.

He said that humans are all just “big Kindergartners,” and for that reason, we should govern “our world like we run a kindergarten classroom.” He is the gnostic priest with the special knowledge to keep the “big Kindergartner” from hurting himself or others.

The Nows get their power from the Democratic Socialists of America, who are now becoming a dominant force in the Democratic Party. The Nots gave the Nows power; the Nows rose to power with the street thugs that make up this insurrectionist revolutionary party. The Nots funded and trained them, and now they hope to still contain them.

Before the Nows had party power, they’d been the street power of the Democratic Party for the last 10 years, increasingly being called upon to move the political discourse to the left by means of direct violence (what they euphemistically call “direct action”).

Now, the Nows are no longer a violent fringe exploited by the Nots to their own ends, they are their own real power. They aren’t even the minority in the Democratic Party anymore. A recent poll showed nearly 60% of Democrats support the DSA. The DSA’s own party platform is committed to creating “a new constitution…  [and creating] a democratic socialist republic.”

They are as openly Now as it gets, and they are winning hearts and minds in the Democratic Party, a party Karl Rove and John Cornyn will vote for in Texas (even if it’s for the Not candidate).

B. MASS MAILER ELECTION

When the Supreme Court declined to stay a lower court ruling stopping President Trump’s Mass Mailer EO from taking effect, they fell back on procedure over national security. They chose process over the existential integrity of the election itself. The ruling was 7-2 on a court with only 3 progressive-nominated justices. This reflect a judicial system that is fundamentally, overwhelmingly progressive, not American, in nature.

Matthew G. Andersson, writing in the American Thinker, captured the frustration Americans had with this ruling. He wrote “The Court, yet again, can’t see the forest from the trees, and worse, got caught up in analyzing the tree bark.  Like a pilot in a spin, it is suffering from spatial disorientation, and has judicially crashed.

“Apparently the SCOTUS believed the question before them involved the post office.

“Their attention was captured by the concept of postal delay: that the president’s EO would retard mail ballot processing with rules designed to actually protect it.  Their perception of time overruled the necessity of security. They fell for the legal subterfuge of the DNC, and lost their constitutional compass. The Court buried itself in minute legalism, rather than actual national justice.

“The Court is otherwise so used to picking winners and losers in traditional litigation, that it forgot that the Constitution can be a different national duty. A constitutional fight can sometimes create a zero-sum result: everyone loses if the nation is splintered by political tribalism.  Unity is the constitutional cause, and no one wins when a constitutional election system is seen as a dispute instead of a joint responsibility.”

Of course, Andersson is exactly right, though one doubts this was as “logically” driven (even if wrongly focused) as much as this was sophistry disguised as logical justification based on constitutional law and judicial precedent.

When there is an existential threat to progressive power, the Progmericans, the four non-progressives who joined them in the majority decision, will find a way to defend their closer cousin, even if it means sacrificing the American republic.

With this ruling, wherever progressives count ballots in mass mailer election states, close races will always be won by the progressive, unless the race is not essential to majority status (only cheat when you have to, for every cheat is a risk of exposure).

The four non-progressive justices who chose procedure over national security and basic American rule of law did so knowing the outcome they were likely assuring, a Democrat-controlled U.S. House and Senate.

Once in power, these Mass-Mailer “elected” progressives will be able to wreak havoc on Trump’s good progressive-neutralizing actions while they plot the end of the republic in 2028, all thanks to the Progmerican justices on SCOTUS.

C. COST OF LIVING

The progressive state media has been driving the cost of living is too high narrative heavily leading up to the midterm elections. While confidence in political parties bringing down the cost of living is overall not very high, Democrats beat Republicans 36% to 28% according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll.

Affordability and AI Data Centers (more on those next) are the top issues among voters going into the midterms.

We mentioned Abdul El-Sayed earlier as a representative of the Nows, the people willing and desiring to create a new state free of the American republic’s “baggage.” He is also our bellwether for how Democrats are able to use “cost of living” to deflect voters from existential issues about the very existence of the American republic in the first place.

Crooks and Liars covered this exchange between El-Sayed and a guest on a CBS News Talk show (Face the Nation). They set up their quoting of the salient exchange with the claim “The only attack Republicans have on El-Sayed is being interviewed by Piker, and they know the media is only too willing to promote their memes.”

The media is willing to challenge El-Sayed not in defense of the GOP, but in defense of the Nots, whom they represent. Crooks and Liars serves an audience of Nows, people hungry to destroy the republic and replace it with a socialist state.

Crooks and Liars writes like its audience is filled with “Big Kindergartners.”

Here is the exchange Crooks and Liars shared:

JIANG: Well, there are Jewish voters in your state who are concerned about your relationship with Piker. You have condemned anti-Semitism, but not called out his rhetoric directly. Why not?

El-Sayed: Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you’ve asked about a Twitch streamer in California.

I’ve done four events in Michigan this week. You know what didn’t come up? Twitch streamers in California.

You know what did come up? Grocery prices. The fact that people can’t see a doctor. The worry that they have about the quality of air and water.

I’m not interested in having a conversation about streamers in California because they are not raising the prices of gas and groceries.

I’m more interested in having a conversation about tariff policies and trade wars we shouldn’t be fighting.

About hot wars with Iran.

About AI, which I know we were supposed to talk about right now.

So let’s actually talk about the issues that are affecting people instead of getting distracted by whatever the president says we should be talking about.

Their whole game is to make us fight culture war so that we don’t pay attention to the fact that the president has made $2.2 billion.

His family has made even more. How about your family in Michigan? How about your ability to afford the basic things?

How about the ability to believe that you could see a doctor without having to potentially fall into medical debt?

Those are the conversations that people are having. Those are the conversations I want to have.

So yeah, I’m not all that interested in having a conversation about a Twitch streamer, forgive me, when people can’t afford their gas and their groceries.

First, he invalidates the speaker, saying “this is the third time you’ve asked about…”, implying she is belligerent, not that he has yet to answer her question. He doesn’t dare invalidate the man who rallies the street fighter and ballot harvester/stuffer army, but he doesn’t dare openly endorse Hasan Piker’s overtly anti-American and Jew-hating statements.

It is ok to lie about who you are to people you deem unworthy of honesty.

To the progressive, Americans are not worthy of truth, integrity, or even agency, and certainly not forgiveness and restoration.

After invalidating the speaker, our deft progressive Islamist then sanitizes the progressive information terrorist, Hasan Piker, labeling him “a Twitch streamer in California.”

He then takes on the moral supremacist role, chastising the woman for not being sensitive to the starving masses. He laments, “You know what did come up? Grocery prices,” referring to his Michigan campaign tour where he claimed no one was asking about a “California Twitch Streamer.”

Then he Gish galloped threats-to-ease issues, like the Iran War, AI, and the wealth of the Trumps versus the poverty of the people. His next move was to subtly attach the speaker and the question to Trump, saying, “So let’s actually talk about the issues that are affecting people instead of getting distracted by whatever the president says we should be talking about.”

This is equivalent to calling any cogent objection to their project a “dog whistle of white supremacism.” The white demon, in this example, keeps the progressive from seeing truth; here, it is the Trump demon that keeps the progressive from seeing truth.

He brings in the fascist, the Nazi, the white supremacist, the orange demon, Donald Trump not only to disarm a reasonable question he continues to refuse to answer, but it’s also a veiled threat to the speaker, who knows full well anyone even associated with Trump is fair game for violent assault by the progressive state.

This also, by extension, puts those labels on this woman, who is now assumed to be nothing but an NPC of Trump’s fascist MAGA. He claims the real issues are essentially ease, comfort, cost of living, not the existential threat his ideology is to the American republic.

He comes through the DSA and agrees with their platform of replacing our constitution with one that creates a socialist “republic.”

He speaks in hypnotic advertising tones, repeating the buzzwords over and over again, twitch streamers, gas prices, what really matters, with a morally indignant tone, demonizing the questioner and sanitizing the demon, Hasan Piker. We have little doubt the speaker received death threats after this widely shared exchange.

This exchange perfectly represents how the Democratic Party hopes to avoid all the messy conversations about the existence of an American republic in the world they all envision (that includes the Nots like Talarico).

As we are not a nation of whole system thinkers, this tactic, against the backdrop of the progressive state media monolith, is almost certain to work. The threat of violence remains implicit in the language they choose to use, a language that is an actual dog whistle permitting and calling for violence against their political opponents. Sometimes, the language is not implicit at all, it’s direct.

Demonize the questioners, signal to the violent the orders to attack, sanitize the demons, and promise a life of ease if you just give us power.

D. AI DATA CENTERS

The central issue in a majority of contested U.S. House and Senate Races is becoming Data Centers. At a time when one party, the Democratic Party, is looking to convert America to the Progressive State, Americans are more concerned over data centers than losing their constitutional rights.

Barack Obama is leading the clarion call for the Democrats in the midterms; that clarion call is “It’s the AI, stupid.”

Thanks to the Democratic Party’s progressive state media, the narrative of AI as both the angel of destruction and consumer of essential resources is being pushed hard. Democrats find an anti-AI space that enables them to both convince Americans to hand over AI governance to them, and to vote for them to stop the data centers from being built.

President Trump’s tone-deaf response to concerns about AI data centers doesn’t help. He invalidates everyone who has any concerns about the rapid deployment of AI. While the Democrats are hyping the concerns beyond reality, President Trump is minimizing them beyond reality. He has also yet to clearly articulate what’s at stake in the war no one understands we are fighting, the AI War.

Our main opponent is China from without and the Democratic Party from within; they BOTH see a strong U.S. with the winning Americanized AI as an existential threat to their joint ideal ecumenical social visions, Progressivism here and Socialism with Chinese characteristics in China. The progressives are playing a dangerous game with their frenemy China, willing, at least for now, to retard American AI development.

This might not be to appease China but rather it might be to assure AI development doesn’t break their progressive containment. If it grows too fast, it might have American-supporting AI infrastructures competing with progressive ones. Even Progmerican AI infrastructures would be a threat to their project.

With Anthropic’s attempt to consolidate American AI governance under one woke board, we have more confidence our assumption is correct.

They are not looking to ultimately retard AI development in the race with China, their frenemy, they are looking to prevent its growth from breaking their progressive containment. All this voting public mostly sees is the existential threat AI poses to the world and how data centers will denude the land of life.

There are no serious discussions about the geopolitical reality AI has created for the world. Geopolitics is virtually a non-factor in AI discourse. The conversation is limited to cost on ease, not the overall reality of power our nation-state finds itself in.

With the scalability of AI now accomplished, we live in a world with nearly 200 nation states all now striving to maximize their potential AI power. In America, that conversation isn’t happening at all.

There is some discourse around the cultural ramifications of AI, and conservatives have waved warning flags exposing the progressives’ efforts to consolidate AI governance under their moral framing.

While those conversations are happening, they are overshadowed by the sensational apocalyptic doom and gloom narratives now also being pushed by conservative outlets.

ASSESSMENT

The 2026 Midterm elections are not dominated by existential questions about the differences between Progressivism and Americanism. There are no serious questions about the compatibility between Americanism and Islamism. The price of gas is more salient to the “American” voter than whether one or more of the parties in power reflects constitutional American Rule of Law or not.

No one outside of a very few people is warning Americans they are about to choose treason for the lie of affordability over defending the republic (such as we can through the Progmerican vehicle of power the GOP has become).

Among rank and file “Americans,” the awareness of American Rule of Law is thin, with that awareness mostly only coming when they are being challenged by authority. To them, progressives are Americans because progressives have been a part of America for more than 100 years.

Even Donald Trump holds up the two founders of progressivism in America, Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, as Presidential exemplars. He even added the man who metastasized progressivism into American institutions to near the top of the list.

That man was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who cemented the notion that the primary principle of America was to defend the weak from the strong in the overall American zeitgeist. This is a progressive ideal, not an American one. That ideal villainizes the strong and fetishes the weak, giving emotional justification to eschew individual liberty when it “hurts the weak” to the “benefit” of “the strong.”

Trump also made himself the greatest, which helps progressives in the midterms who want to make the election a moratorium on “orange man bad,” not their anti-American standards and their desire to destroy the republic and make it a socialist dystopian nightmare.

While we have always “rooted for the underdog,” we did not do so at the expense of American rule of law. We did not vilify the strong, we just didn’t worship them like our European descendants did. It is not until progressivism rose in this country that we looked on the successful as demons.

Most Americans do not see progressives as an alien belief exapting American institutions to their anti-American ends, they see progressivism as the “evolved” standard of Americanism. Where once there was individual liberty, now we mitigate for the disenfranchised. Equality trumps liberty in the minds of most “Americans,” even most self-professing conservatives.

While we will not yet make a prediction on how this election might go (as we have not thoroughly looked at all the key races), we can see the trends are favoring a Democratic victory. The two wildcards here are the degree to which Democrats can cheat without being caught by a DOJ that is actively looking for the cheats and the degree to which polls are being created to push narratives rather than discern truth.

If the DOJ is as inept as we rate it so far (for instance, it is unwilling to arrest and charge Hasan Piker, even as he overtly calls for the murdering of Americans almost every day on Twitch), we fear that diligence will be feckless.

If the polls are not narrative pushers, the Democrats look poised to win.

Our October 2026 monthly issue will cover in depth the state of the 2026 midterm election, offering both a PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS and RECOMMENDED ACTION for our readers.

The 2026 midterms needed to be a moratorium on the influence of progressivism and Islam on this country in recent years, and whether or not their values are compatible with ours (they’re existentially not). Instead, it has become an election about the overblown AI demon and the cost of groceries.

While Democrats kidnap children from parents who refuse to “transition” them, transitioning children is hardly talked about on any campaign trail. It’s nearly ignored by the progressive state press, and thus by the progressive influencers who take their queues from the progressive state press.

The American people would rather pay less for coffee than stop Democrats from demoralizing and mutilating children through their transgender ideology (an ideology that demands the state compel belief for the sake of suicidal children).

If America were not under the thumb of the progressive state media and its cultural agit prop machine, the horrors of the rise of Islam, the depravity of abortion, the anti-American values of progressivism would have been clearly shown by an Americanist press, a true free press and not a content marketing terror machine.

Were corporate media outlets to regularly show the consequence of abortion, both on the murdered child and the murdering mother, abortion would lose support overnight.

As it is, they seek to criminalize such exposure, calling the display of their work, mutilated dead babies, “hate speech,” a progressive concept that existentially threatens America’s founding principles of self-stewardship. Every woman that chooses to murder their child is now forced to protect the progressive state, for an American one would rightly shame them.

The progressive state press is NOT the free press, it is an illegal political action center that willingly and intentionally uses lies, obfuscations, and omissions of truth to demoralize the American republic and protect the depravity of the progressive state.

It is a criminal operation centrally directed. It deserves no 1st Amendment protections since it is not executing free speech, it’s executing an information terror campaign intended to destroy the republic from within.

The Progmericans, people like Trump and Vance, want to hold on to that power for themselves. They want to exapt the progressive state press to become the Progmerican state press.

The failure by the Trump administration, even in his first term, to recognize the ongoing existential threat the progressive state press poses on our Republic continues to shackle our ability to resist an enemy from within who wants us enslaved, starving, imprisoned, or dead.

Again, we suspect this is because Progmericans like Trump still hope to use that de facto state press to their own ends, for while they value nation-states over a global imperialist Empire (which is the progressive goal) and they value nation-state patriotism as a unifier of a nation, they don’t value true individual liberty, for they hope to control outcomes every bit as much as progressives do, just for more localized ends, not ecumenical ones.

The progressive state press continues to protect the Democratic Party from the proper American scrutiny it has yet to face since it first invaded our shores more than 100 years ago (maybe close to 150 years, some would rightly argue).

The progressive state press continues to make the 2026 midterm elections a moratorium on ease, not nationhood, knowing full well they are inviting anti-American demons into our house to destroy us from within.

The American people continue to choose ease at Zion over facing the hard war against progressive and Islamists insurrectionists from within, who have already claimed whole cities and states not theirs. They continue to choose cheap steak over the right to bear arms.

  1. SCOTUS ENABLES MASS MAILER VOTER FRAUD – The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that a lower court ruling suspending President Trump’s XO attempting make Mass mailer voting more accountable will stand, at least until AFTER the 2026 election. The ruling effectively enables Democrats to slow-walk close races in their favor using reserve “ballots” “registered” to the dead and non-citizens still on their uncleansed voter rolls.

Read more on the portents of the 2026 election in our Deep Dive on page 2.

  1. IRAN’S ENDURING DEFIANCE LEAVES TRUMP QUESTIONING WHAT TO DO NEXT – President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social a problem he is considering, “Do I Want to Go In and Annihilate Them or Do I Not?”

Internally, there are increasing reports of uprisings, and government “officials” abandoning their positions, but so far, no massive uprising has taken place. With congress recently passing a resolution aimed at stopping the Iran war, the President might have a limited window to operate in, one that needs to end with a pro-American government.

  1. HOUTHIS OPEN RED SEA FRONT, TRUMP NEGOTIATES – The Houthis have been taking islands, ports, and Red Sea coast territory in a bid to rescue Iran from U.S. onslaught. The new territory enables them to attack vessels traversing the Red Sea (which they’ve already done). The Saudis have responded by forming an army to remove them. President Trump is in talks with the Houthis, and the Saudis have called for a two-week ceasefire.
  2. ANTHROPIC WANTS PROGRESSIVE EXTREMISTS TO DEFINE THE FUTURE OF AI – Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has picked a panel of far-left, “woke” extremists to “protect” us from the evil AI apocalypse the progressive state media has been pushing. The “board” consists of children of wealthy progressives.

The guiding principle of the group is “Effective Altruism,” which requires a finite definition of value anti-progressives are sure to be existentially threatened by. For instance, this will place abortion in this hierarchy of value as a highly desired altruistic outcome and opposition to abortion will be placed in its hierarchy of value as being anathema to altruism, and thus a criminal activity.

  1. FED RAISES RATES – The Federal Reserve rose interest rates for the first time in six years, citing concerns over the inflation rate continuing to exceed 2%. The board voted unanimously to raise rates and signaled more rate increases were coming. President Trump pushed back against the decision, but stopped short of criticizing the Federal Reserve Chair, Kevin Warsh. President Trump nominated Warsh for the position he now holds.
  2. CANADA COURTS THE EU – After the European Union floated the idea of Canada becoming an “associate” member of their Union, Canada’s PM Mark Carney enthusiastically embraced the idea. This followed Carney’s exposed secret collusion with the Chinese military, making Canada a potential base of operation for her current enemy, China, and her fast-becoming future enemy, Europe. Canada is becoming a security risk for the United States.
  3. ISLAMIST FOREIGNERS TAKE BACK SWEDEN – Thanks overwhelmingly to the “migrant” vote, largely dominated by Islamists from the Middle East, Sweden’s pro-Sweden government was defeated by 3 parliament seats. This means the anti-Sweden left has taken power by the slimmest of margins thanks almost entirely to the foreigner Islamist vote. Sweden has fallen, for now.
  4. DEFIANT CLANCY JUROR NOW IN HIDING – The now-doxed Lindsay Clancy juror who prevented the defendant from escaping criminal justice is now in hiding, along with his family. The juror, Michael Desronvil, has remained defiant, claiming he voted on the merits of the case, which showed Clancy was guilty of first-degree murder, of strangling her three children to death.

His family has received numerous death threats. He has acquired a lawyer as he prepares to sue the press and the jurors responsible for both doxing him and committing slander against him.

  1. DID NETANYAHU KNOW? – Ahead of the Israeli national elections, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is being accused of knowing about October 7 in advance. The accusation comes from former Israel Defense Forces (IDF) chief of staff Dan Halutz. He accused the Prime Minister of ignoring and concealing warning signs that led to the “successful” assault by Hamas terrorists.

Netanyahu accused Halutz of lying. Halutz doubled down, claiming he was involved with numerous conversations that validate this claim, and that from those conversations he was convinced Netanyahu knew more than he said he did.

  1. MASSACHUSETTS KIDNAPS CHILD TO TRANSITION HER – A Roman Catholic couple lost their child to the state when they refused to transition her to a boy. Algonquin Regional High School in Southborough socially transitioned her to a “boy” without her parents’ consent. When the parents rightly contested this illegal activity, Massachusetts state authorities chose to kidnap the child instead of prosecuting school officials.

Child grooming and violating parents’ rights is protected criminal action by the state of Massachusetts. The girl is now 17 and being unconstitutionally confined in a boys’ dormitory. The state is giving her birth control pills and psychiatric drugs while it prepares to mutilate her body.

B. HEADLINES MISSED

  1. VIOLENCE TO STOP FREE SPEECH IS BECOMING A COLLEGE VALUE – Foundation For Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) released a poll that revealed 30% of surveyed college students approve of violence to stop free speech rarely, which is down from last year’s high of 34%. However, of that group, half (or 15% total) said yes to violence to stop fee speech “sometimes,” not just rarely; 3% chose “always.”
  2. CHINESE BILLIONAIRE MAKING FUTURE CCP AMERICANS THANKS TO SCOTUS – Thanks to the Supreme Court’s refusal to defend American sovereignty from foreign invaders, a recluse Chinese billionaire has hundreds of “American” children. Xu Bo is alleged to have been using surrogates to bring to term his embryos on American soil so that his children will be born as American citizens.

Our enemies have children birthed on American soil. These children are then taken to their home country, trained in their home country’s ways, and sent back as “legal” invaders, scouts, saboteurs of the country they have no business being citizens of. After the SCOTUS’ ruling that upheld birthright citizenship covers anyone born in America, our enemies have increased their efforts to create future “legal” invaders of America.

  1. NEW YORK SELLS SUICIDES – On the day Progressive New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced plans to pass euthanasia legislation, a company named Quietus began selling suicide. The company offered this $12,00 deal to New Yorkers through the progressive state press: “Imagine that instead of taking medication to fend off death from a terminal illness, a person could pay to take a concoction that will end their life in minutes — giving them full control of when and where they die.

“… Before their scheduled death, patients get two medical evaluations and a mental health screening, as well as a prescription for the drugs needed, including lethal doses of cardiac medication, that will end their life. The $12,000 cost for the patient covers all of this and help for the grieving family after their passing.”

  1. POPE PROMOTES PRO-LGBTQ PRIEST TO BISHOP – In another sign of the erosion of the Catholic church’s leadership, Pope Leo XIV has promoted a pro-LGBTQ, anti-church priest to Bishop. Father Mario Leon Dorado has been outspoken in his support to “bless” “irregular” couples (meaning homosexuals), as well as calling on the church to fade away the way John the Baptist did when Christ was baptized.

He declared in 2022, “There is the ecclesiological challenge: the Church as a sacrament at the service of the Kingdom of God. The Church is called to disappear so that the Kingdom may grow, in analogy with the experience of John the Baptist…. The experience of John the Baptist is the experience of the Church.”

  1. UK MIGHT BE OVER? – Leaders of Scotland, Wales, and Ireland are calling for a breakup of the UK. The leaders of these three nations are hoping to jettison London in favor of the EU. Scottish First Minister John Swinney, Welsh First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth and Northern Ireland First Minister Michelle O’Neill all signed a declaration that claimed, “Westminster is coming to an end.”

C. PEOPLE ADVANCE

  1. JUDGE KILLS DELAWARE’S “GHOST GUN” BAN – U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika struck down Delaware’s ghost-gun ban, which effectively bans the constitutional rights of Americans to make their own guns.

The judge ruled, “… An untraceable firearm is an Arm under the Second Amendment.  It is, after all, a firearm, and even under the narrowest reading of ‘Arms,’ ‘all firearms constitute [] ‘arms,’ whether serialized or not. Moreover, the evidence here shows that untraceable firearms are customarily used for offensive or defensive purposes such as self-defense…”

  1. FEDERAL COURT UPHOLDS INDIANA’S LAW OUTLAWING TRANSGENDER SURGERY FOR KIDS – U.S. District Judge James Patrick Hanlon upheld Indiana’s law prohibiting transgender surgeries on children. Indiana’s Attorney General declared, “We have won this critical fight against radicals who would otherwise impose this horrific practice on our kids for ideological and financial reasons. My office will keep standing between our children and those who would sacrifice their health, innocence, and well-being on the altar of woke gender ideology.”
  2. JUDGE KILLS UNIVERSITY’S “DEAD NAMING” RULE – U.S. District Court Judge Fred Slaughter has halted a University of California policy that would penalize students for calling transgendered students by their born names. This is called “dead naming,” calling them by the name of their “dead selves.” The policy equated “dead naming” to “sexual harassment.”

He also halted their policy of punishing students for not using other students’ preferred pronouns. The school called this action “harassment,” which effectively punishes dissenting belief from the gender fluid ideology. The judge ruled that “there is no categorical ‘harassment exception’ to the First Amendment.” He stated the students “have demonstrated a credible threat to enforcement.”

  1. CHRISTIAN WINS BACK RIGHT TO ADOPT – The Oregon Department of Human Services had to change its standards for adoption after a Christian widow sued them. Jessica Bates sued the state after she was denied the right to adopt a child in their system for refusing to affirm the rainbow ideology. The state settled with Bates, removing the conditions of adoption that demand LGBTQ affirmation. They also had to pay Bates’ court costs.
  2. PIDDINGTON SECEDES FROM BRITIAN – The village of Piddington voted to secede from the United Kingdom as a response to the government’s plan to overwhelm the tiny village with a flood of subsidized invaders. The vote passed with a 92% supermajority. The referendum was held on September 15, the date Britian celebrates its victory over the German Luftwaffe in 1940.

By Paul Gordon Collier, Editor

“Earthly civilizations come and go, but the Kingdom of God is eternal. The Word of the Lord is a civilization blueprint that transcends time, space, place, and ethnicity. For the children of God, we walk in the civilizations of both the fallen (the state) and the righteous (the Kingdom of God). One civilization is here, in full, the other is coming, though in shadow it’s already here.

“We are stewards and sojourners of the temporal civilizations, but Kings and Queens in the civilization to come, the civilization that is already among us in our hearts, the Kingdom of God.” – Paul Gordon Collier

As our civilizations collapse around us, those without roots outside of those civilizations will experience a collapse within themselves as well. Those with roots outside of those collapsing civilizations will be best equipped to be stewards of what might replace them.

As Christians, we are called to be good stewards of whatever state we find ourselves in. We have as our examples Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Esther, Mordecai, Daniel, and Joseph (and others as well).

All of these men and women of faith found themselves subject to a state that, in some way, wanted their people killed. These states were enemies of God’s children. Yet not a one of these people called on others to raise up arms to vanquish the state that wanted to destroy them and their people.

Jeremiah explicitly is given a prophecy commanding the Israelites to submit to the invaders and live well under their rule. The Israelites refuse to enter God’s rest. Instead, they drag Jeremiah to Egypt, blaming their “unrighteousness” towards the Queen of Heaven for their woes rather than their unrighteousness towards God.

They will die in Egypt, and the 10 tribes of Israel will be scattered. To this day, they have not been identified, which has led to more than 2500 years of exile from consequence of men entering their own understanding rather than God’s rest.

Ezekiel prophesized God’s Word, but never incited others to rise up and throw off the yolk they were under. He preached the words God gave him, even when God called him not to mourn for his own wife when she died, because he was to physically prophecy the indifference God held for his unrighteous bride.

Ezekiel entered God’s rest, and his words today continue to lift the body of Christ towards heaven.

Mordecai not only served his nation faithfully, without violating God’s laws, but he saved the King from an assassination plot. He saved the instrument of his peoples’ destruction from destruction.

The book of Esther never mentions God, but all who know His Word can see God moving through all Mordecai did. We can see how God confounds earthly authority, leading it to fulfill His will, no matter how obstinate that authority might be.

Mordecai entered God’s rest and God raised him up to become the second most powerful man in that same state.

Daniel’s righteousness and God-given wisdom elevated him to the second highest position in the land, yet when conspirators tricked the King into condemning him, by appealing to the King’s vanity, Daniel did not rebel or call others to do so. Instead, he put his trust in the Lord, not knowing beforehand if God would save him from the lions.

Daniel became the second most powerful man in the state before he was thrown into the Lion’s Den. Afterwards, his position was so cemented that he retained it even after that state, Babylon, fell to another state, the Persians. These same Persians would give Israel the resources needed to rebuild their temple.

Daniel entered God’s rest and became the wisdom of two states, though he never imposed his faith on either pagan state through that position, always staying within the boundaries of the state he served (so long as those boundaries did not defy God’s law).

Esther is assured by Mordecai that even if she chooses to remain a coward and not confront the King about the planned genocide of her people, another way will be provided. Mordecai knew scripture, it would seem, for he knew God would not allow his testimony, the miracle of Israel, to be blotted out by Satan’s men.

Esther entered the Rest of the Lord, risking death, knowing full well God’s will would prevail with or without her. She risked execution by the King by entering his court without his permission.

Joseph entered Egypt as a slave, then became a prisoner, going from a low position to the lowest position in the state. He stood in the prisoner’s pit symbolically the way the unrighteous after death will stand in the pit. He made no effort to escape as a slave or a prisoner. In both instances, he served his master. Potipher’s household was blessed by Joseph’s works, as was Pharoah’s prison.

Rather than rebel, Jospeh worked to bless the state he served, even while being first a slave, then a prisoner. His righteous wisdom prepared the way for his elevation from pit man to the right hand of the Pharoah. He went from slavery and imprisonment in the state to becoming the second most powerful man in the state.

It is clear to me that God ordains the state. It is not intended to be unrighteous, but where unrighteous hearts rule, no state can be righteous.

The state throughout history has been either an instrument of God’s mercy or an instrument of God’s righteousness. The magistrate is the plumbline of the people of the state.

Where righteousness prevails, so too will righteous governance. Where unrighteousness prevails, so too will unrighteous governance. The state cannot save you, for only God saves, but the state can be an instrument of wrath or mercy, depending on the consensual righteousness of the people.

No matter the model of the state, the righteousness of that state will emerge from the heart of the people, not the heart of any system (though systems can support or undermine righteous and unrighteous acts).

The power of the state is existentially rooted in its capacity to kill and harm human beings, and also its capacity to destroy resources.

There is no exception. This includes America.

The institutions of the state must facilitate all products, services, and disciplines necessary for optimal human harming and resource destroying capacity.

The state must always be an instrument of death and destruction to extend and preserve its sovereign power.

This will never change. This is the nature of the state. Without this power, the state disintegrates, often to give birth to semi-states before the next state claims sovereign power over the land.

The state is a vehicle of power for those who wish to assure success. The closer you get to the zenith of power, the more certain this principle becomes. The further you get from the zenith of power, the more the exceptions you will find.

The fear of losing fairly is the birth of the state. The fear of suffering and death is the power of the state. Your fear of suffering and death makes you a slave to the one who fears fairly losing to you.

The fear of losing fairly is the motivation for power that becomes the leadership in the state. The fear of suffering and death is the power that sustains the power of those who fear losing; these are the leaders of the state.

The fear of suffering and death is the fruit of the soul that does not put its faith in God’s rest.

Today, we Americans live in a land that is openly hostile not only to God’s laws, but to Him directly. We celebrate a woman’s “right” to choose. We chastise a whole race for the sins of their fathers, calling for the persecution of that “guilty” race.

We condemn heteronormativity, the way God intended us to be, and elevate homonormativity, the path that leads to the extermination of the human race.

Whole schools of thought in America regularly preach the message that God is a white supremacist demon that deserves to be driven from the public square.

Within the state’s mechanisms of power, we as Christians should call for righteous governance. Within the state’s mechanisms of power, we as Christians should call for traitors to be punished to the fullest extent of the law, which includes executions.

Within the state’s mechanism of power, we as Christians should call on the state to end unrighteous laws and follow only righteous ones. Esther and Mordecai used the full powers of the state to bring execution to those who would execute the Jews, for instance. But they did not seek to use those powers to overthrow the state itself.

Yet, when it is clear the power within the state to reform it to righteousness does not exist, we are yet called to continue to be good citizens of that state up to the point of defying God’s laws. Jeremiah did not try to use state power to reform the state, short of witnessing God’s word to the leaders, for he knew that power was gone, by God’s will, as a righteous punishment on the land.

Today, I believe we Christians in America still have state power we can both appeal to and bear to recalibrate our state towards the righteousness of God. But the season might soon come when we Christians might realize any state power to restore righteousness is already gone (as it was for Jeremiah).

Outside of hearing from the Lord directly, we can look at Judah in the time of Jeremiah for a plumbline of what a state under the unbreakable wrath of God looks like. While Ninevah was once given the opportunity to repent by Jonah, it was not given that opportunity under Nahum.

I will leave it for you, the reader, to assess whether we appear to be Judah under Zedekiah or under Rehoboam. Under Zedekiah, the die was cast. The option was only to submit to the righteous judgment on the land, the Babylonians, or be even more scattered than the Israelites already were. They chose the latter. Under Rehoboam, there was yet hope for Judah, who fell to the latter unrighteous reign of Solomon and the continued beginning unrighteous reign of Rehoboam.

Either way, whether we have hope as a nation through repentance or not, unless we have received a divine word from God, we should operate as if repentance can lead us back to righteousness, but not with a hope to save the state; we do so rather in the commitment, through love, to walk daily in service to the Lord, through His spirit, His Will, not our own.

America may survive or die. Tyrants may rise or fall, but the Word of the Lord endures forever, and contains the truth of the home we are traveling towards, the new heaven and the new earth, where all authority on heaven and earth will lovingly bend its knee in service to the one true sovereign, the Spirit of Lord, the God of Jacob, the arm that saves.

In these times, I encourage my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ to not give up working towards correcting the state’s unrighteousness through the state’s lawful means of doing so, but also not to put your hope in the outcome of America. For hope in America is not hope in the Rest of the Lord.

We who are in Christ are peacemakers expecting suffering and death, while welcoming the opportunity to testify to God’s glory to others by cheerfully embracing such faits. But we are not called to pursue suffering, only to know it is a necessary part of living Christ amongst his enemies, your enemies, the very people God calls us to love and serve, in righteousness, in a righteous love that rejoices in truth, not in enabling sin to please man and be accepted by him.

Civilizations come and go, but not so the Kingdom of God. No righteous person will end their days in suffering, for their days end eternally in the new heaven and new earth, and no unrighteous person will avoid true suffering by sacrificing righteousness to avoid pain and death.

As our civilizations continue to collapse, I hope you find comfort in the eternal civilization that cannot be broken or changed, the Kingdom of God, and through entering the rest of His Kingdom, you will be a better agent for righteous change in your unrighteous state.

Those who enter the rest of the Lord suffer no spiritual pain. Those who enter into their own understanding, their own way, have no rest today, nor will they have rest tomorrow. Esther entered God’s rest rather than her own clear understanding that to enter the Kings’ throne room is death. She did so with no prophetic promise, only faith, not in the outcome, but in the practice of acting righteously, even in the face of threat of suffering or death from the state.

Let us pray the Lord delivers to us a civic authority bold enough to vanquish the traitors in our land and restore righteousness but let us not put our heavenly hope in such things. We are stewards, not owners of the state God has put us in. Fear God, not men, and it will always go right with you, even amid great suffering and death.

A. GLOBAL OUTLOOK

  1. HALF A MILLION DEAD RUSSIANS FOR A SCRATCH OF EARTH – A British military intelligence report is alleging Russia has lost half a million Russian soldiers in the war since 2023. During that same time, Russia has only gained 2% more ground than it had before.

Air Chief Marshal Sir Rich Knighton, chief of the UK armed forces, commented, “I think these numbers illustrate clearly the senseless and futile waste of human life for such little progress, and against such an illegitimate aim of President Putin.”

  1. SCOTUS PUNTS ON MISSOURI REDISTRICTING, GIVING DEMS ONE HOUSE SEAT – The Supreme Court just created massive chaos in Missouri when Justice Brett Kavanaugh rejected a petition by the Missouri GOP seeking to overthrow a state SCOTUS ruling blocking their redistricting map. This map was the one voters assumed when they voted in the primary election.

A lower Federal court has already “lifted” the state SCOTUS ruling, leaving state authorities wondering which court to honor. If the lack of a SCOTUS ruling holds, Missourians who voted in the primary might be voting in a different district in the general election. This non-ruling effectively preserves one Democrat seat.

  1. ONE BLACK MAN DEFIES THE CLANCY JURY – Lindsay Clancy, the woman who has admitted to strangling her three children to death with premeditation, was about to go free thanks to progressive jurors. But one black man confounded them, holding out to force a mistrial. One juror told progressive state media that the man “just couldn’t get over the fact that she viciously murdered her children.”
  2. DEMOCRATS PROMISE TRUMP IMPEACHMENTS, INVESTIGATIONS WITH 2026 WIN – The Democrats made it clear to the American voter that a midterm win for them will be constant “investigations” of Trump and his allies for us. The Democrats are threatening Cabinet officials, Trump family members, and Trump himself with numerous “criminal” investigations. This is in addition to the impeachment they promise to deliver should they win in the midterms.
  3. HOUTHIS TAKE A SEA PORT – The Houthis have successfully seized the seaport of Mokha, a pro-government Yemeni port. The attack was sudden. It captured the entire city off-guard as residents quickly moved to evacuate it. The Saudis have responded by hitting Mokha’s now captured airport.
  4. DATA CENTERS, NOT AMERICAN RULE OF LAW, CENTER OF MIDTERMS – The central issue in a majority of contested U.S. House and Senate Races is becoming Data Centers. At a time when one party, the Democratic Party, is looking to convert America to the Progressive State, Americans are more concerned over data centers than losing their constitutional rights.

Republicans find themselves on the losing end of this issue with one candidate, Senator John Husted of Ohio, reflecting the new Republican strategy, join the fight against the data centers. He said “They’ve earned that backlash. They haven’t been as forthcoming about the benefits that will come in terms of local jobs and construction worker jobs and reduced property taxes, and they haven’t offered things like paying the energy bills for local communities, for the power plants they build.”

  1. ISRAEL DEMANDS UK HAND OVER FALKLANDS – After the UK made moves to sanction Israel over its occupation of “Palestinian” territories, Israel has countered by supporting Argentina’s claims on the Falkland Islands.

Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel ’s minister for national security, posted on X, “It’s time for the State of Israel to publicly recognize that the Malvinas Islands are Argentine territory under occupation, which the British violently steal from the Argentine people. The British are not content with merely occupying the territory; they also carry out oil drilling there and steal the money from the Argentine people. I call upon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to recognize Argentina’s sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands and to impose sanctions on Great Britain as long as the occupation continues.”

  1. RUSSIA LITERALLY CONNECTS TO NORTH KOREA NOW – Russia and North Korea have cut the rope on a new bridge that links their two territories together. North Korean’s State media reported, the bridge was built and opened to “ensure the safe passage of various kinds of vehicles and personnel traffic.”

It also claims the bridge is “a guarantee for building up and reinforcing an important infrastructure for economic cooperation between the two countries and revitalizing multi-faceted cooperation including human exchange, tourism and commodity circulation.”

  1. NORTH KOREA’S KING JONG-UN HAS AN HEIR? – South Korea’s Spy Agency is claiming it has identified who it believes has been designated Kim Jong-un’s heir apparent, a secret older son. The agency had been operating under the assumption Jong-un had no son. The report has not been substantiated, but the agency making such a claim in and of itself is newsworthy.

HEADLINES MISSED

  1. CANADIANS LEARN FROM CHINESE MEDIA THEIR GOVERNMENT IS COOPERATING MILITARILY WITH CCP – Canada is playing a dangerous game, first with its pushback on the Trump tariffs, and now with its cozying up to America’s greatest threat, China. Canadians learned from a Chinese news report their Prime Minister, Mark Carney, had been secretly negotiating with the CCP to develop a plan for military cooperation between the two countries. The move makes Canada a threat to U.S. security.
  2. CHINA BUILDING AI ROBOT ARMY – China is working on developing an AI-run robot army equipped with humanoid “soldiers” with AI brains. Reuters is claiming that an investigation of their procurement records reveal the army is already being built. They claimed they reviewed “more than 100 Chinese military procurement notices, academic studies, patents, official publications, government records and defense-company materials.” This led them to conclude China is building an AI robot army.
  3. MUSLIM CONGRESSMEMBERS VOTE FOR AMERICA TO PAY THEM 9/11 REPARATIONS – Because of the “Islamophobia” that followed from the 9/11 attacks, Muslim U.S. congress members voted on a resolution demanding reparations from Americans. They reckon the pain of hearing the truth about their religion of terror and pedophilia was more painful than the thousands of deaths their religion caused on 9/11, and continues to cause worldwide, even as we report this today. For that, they want us to pay.
  4. ANTHROPIC SAVES THE WORLD AGAIN AND AGAIN – Anthropic is claiming it has prevented multiple attempts by bad actors to use Claude AI to execute terrorist actions. The attempts included kamikaze drone swarms and biological weapons.

They posted on their X account, “We’re publishing our most detailed threat intelligence report to date. It covers how people tried to misuse Claude—for cyberattacks, influence operations, surveillance, biology, and building weapons—and how we found and stopped them. We disrupted every operation in the report…”

  1. FORMER U.S. CABINET MEMBER SERVED CCP WHILE IN OFFICE – Elaine Chao, a former Bush and Trump-era Cabinet official, is alleged to have been working for a CCP-controlled agency while also serving in the U.S. government. The organization she worked for was the United Front Work Department (UFWD).

A Congressional Select Committee memo claims “United front work damages U.S. interests through legal and illegal technology transfer, surveillance of Chinese diaspora communities, promotion of favorable narratives about the PRC through ostensibly independent voices, and the neutralization or harassment of critics of the CCP.”

PEOPLE ADVANCE

  1. GERMANY’S PRO-GERMAN PARTY WINS STATE ELECTION – The only pro-German political party in Germany, the AfD, won 44% of the vote in a Saxony-Anhalt state election. The party fell just short of a majority for the state government, having captured 39 of the 83 seats in the State assembly. They fell just three seats short of a majority. The response from the “Planvasion of Germany” parties was to call for the AfD to be banned.
  2. EUTHANASIA FAILS AGAIN IN BRITIAN – Another attempt to legalize euthanasia in Britian has failed after a 286 to 270 vote defeated the latest bill. The legislation began the practice of euthanasia the same as many other laws, targeting only those with minimal diagnosed time to live. Later, the expansions of the eligible comes.
  3. 110,000 LESS FOREIGN STUDENTS EXPECTED NEXT COLLEGE SEMESTER – Thanks to several factors, including new VISA restrictions, the amount of foreign college students attending U.S. schools will be 110,000 less than last year. Colleges will have to rely more on Americans to sell enrollment than foreigners, which might incentivize them to drop their anti-American ideologies.
  4. U.S. JOB CREATION HEATS BACK UP – The U.S. economy has seen job growth stagnate the past couple of months, leading experts to predict an anemic August jobs report. However, the jobs report delivered far better than expected, with 162,000 new jobs being created in July, Unemployment held steady at 4.1%. In addition to this news, another report revealed unemployment among the college-less is at an all-time low.
  5. SCIENTISTS IDENTIFY TRIGGER RECEPTOR THAT COULD CURE OSTEOPOROSIS – Researchers at Leipzig University in Germany have developed a new therapy for osteoporosis. The researchers claim they have identified a protein receptor named GPR133 that could be triggered to rebuild lost bone density in osteoporosis patients.

Professor Ines Liebscher, lead investigator of the study, said “If this receptor is impaired by genetic changes, mice show signs of loss of bone density at an early age – similar to osteoporosis in humans. Using the substance AP503, which was only recently identified via a computer-assisted screen as a stimulator of GPR133, we were able to significantly increase bone strength in both healthy and osteoporotic mice.”

By Paul Gordon Collier, Editor

“So Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking for a king from him. He said, ‘These will be the ways of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them to his chariots and to be his horsemen and to run before his chariots.

And he will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and some to plow his ground and to reap his harvest, and to make his implements of war and the equipment of his chariots. He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive orchards and give them to his servants.

He will take the tenth of your grain and of your vineyards and give it to his officers and to his servants. He will take your male servants and female servants and the best of your young men and your donkeys, and put them to his work.

He will take the tenth of your flocks, and you shall be his slaves. And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the Lord will not answer you in that day.’” – 1 Samuel 8:10-18

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Charles I may be seen as the wanna-be paradigm of the divine right of Kings, a Kingship justified by God himself, empowered by God to assert his kingdom on men by means of the magistrate’s sword. He was heavily influenced by the Catholic Kings of France who held, or sought to hold, unchecked absolute power in the land. I say wanna-be because he never attained the absolute power that he died believing he was entitled to.

The land he inherited had mostly chosen the Protestant path. While Catholicism was still strong in parts of England, most of the people had chosen some form of Protestantism. The Anglican Church, the official state church of England to this day, was the symbol of England’s rejection of papal authority over the land.

In many ways, Protestantism was a symbol of English defiance of mainland Europe. John Wycliffe was echoing Protestant values about 150 years before Martin Luther. His Lollards, men who read scripture in the English tongue rather than from the Latin Vulgate, could be seen as the forefathers of the Levellers we will see under Cromwell later.

The Levellers all knew the phrase “When Adam delved and Eve spanned, who was first the gentleman?” This phrase came from John Ball, in 1381, who rallied the people to oppose the monarchy in the failed Peasants’ Revolt (which was not so much a peasant revolt as much as it was a merchant class revolt).

John Ball was one of the fruits of John Wycliffe’s ministry.

These were men who held that all people, from the highest to the lowest, are called to learn scripture for themselves, so they printed illegal English translations of the Latin Vulgate New Testament. Wycliffe claimed his scripturally literate plowmen knew scripture better than the priests, and that, thanks to scriptural literacy, they had more wisdom than the nobles.

He was right, at least about his plowmen knowing scripture much better than not only the nobles, but also most of the priests of that time.

By Charles I’s time, the notion of a Catholic King was so anathema to the English, they passed laws expressly forbidding it. This protestant state was decidedly justified by the divine right of Kings, a rulership justified by God himself.

But unlike the Catholic Kings, this Protestant King was bounded by the parliament, not assumed to be infallible.  Rather, he was assumed to be a sinner, even as a King, in need of checks and balances on his power.

This is the world Charles inherited with his crown. As a secret Catholic, who only became more zealous as he reigned, he found himself at odds with the very people he ruled. Yet, he pressed forward in his attempt to use the state to eventually return the Pope back to power in England, all in the name of giving himself the same absolute power the Catholic Kings of France possessed.

Charles’ reign would end in his beheading and the eventual reign of another religious zealot, Oliver Cromwell. This man rose to power promising to end the divine right of Kings and create a republic still in possession of an official state church. What he created instead was a Kingship called a protectorate that failed to break the divine right of Kings paradigm. That paradigm would be broken by the turbulent reign of James II.

During his reign, the Puritans sought to use the state to make the people good Christians. While Cromwell died of natural causes as the Protectorate, his son would not long hold on to power before a new King was crowned, Charles II. In the beginning of his reign, Charles II would be more pragmatic than his father, willing to live in the Protestant paradigm.

The pragmatism wouldn’t last, however. Charles would pass off to his brother James a Kingdom riled up against Catholicism, triggered mostly by Charles’ own action.

The Restoration brought with it a very French-like King who would end his reign by dying of natural causes. His brother, James II, would follow the path of the father of both men, Charles I, seeking to use the state to force Catholicism on a Protestant people.

He would end his reign after only three years. He would die in exile, in France, 13 years after being deposed.

With the glorious revolution, William and Mary would take the crown, but their reign was not based on the divine right of Kings, it was based on popular sovereignty. Royal blood justifies candidacy for the crown, but the crown’s power is not justified by it.

The power of the state was legitimized by popular sovereignty, the Will of the People, whose King was bounded by that will as well. The King was the final magisterial authority, but only within the bounds of the will of the people, as reflected through parliament.

The King can no longer use the state to make good Christians, but he is expected to defend the Anglican church. The church’s membership, though, is no longer mandatory, but it is important nonetheless, for its existence gives the state its other justification for existence, a nation whose God is the Lord.

This is why the monarch’s first duty is to defend the church, for the state church justifies the state without forcing itself on its citizens. The church itself, then, becomes subject to popular sovereignty, for, consensually, the church could die by non-participation.

There is no divine right of Kings, there is only Popular Sovereignty. Only for a Christian people is it important for the state to declare God is the Lord. Through popular sovereignty, that god can change, or be removed altogether. Thus, the real power behind the British state is popular sovereignty, not the nation whose God is the Lord.

Even to this day, the British state’s ultimate authority is the King, without which the state would theoretically dissolve, but that King’s authority is now so muted the moment the King asserts real power he is most likely going to lose it.

He is a vestige of the Popular Sovereignty Monarchy that replaced the Divine Right of Kings. Now, England stands on the precipice of civilizational change again, their King no longer even declaring to be the protector of the Anglican church.

The English Civil War began as a rebellion against the infallibility of Kings, but not against the divine right of the magistrate itself (as opposed to the King). It was not a rebellion against a nation whose God is the Lord, it was a rebellion against a state whose God was not their God.

Cromwell would quickly prove he was no less inclined to use the state to force people to believe in his God than Charles I was. While Charles II did not press the theological issue through the state, James II did, and, as a result, what began as an argument about which God the state forces on others ended with a de facto secular state.

The death of the Divine Right of Kings civilization would be replaced by the Popular Sovereignty state. The latter would exapt many features from the former and create new features itself. Some features would not survive. The nature of the English state had fundamentally changed.

The birth of the “modern” state of England had occurred, just in time for it to begin to build its global Empire. It is this state that birthed America. It is this state’s birth we will witness, from the beheading of Charles I to the ascension of William and Mary.

What follows is first the Summary of the key events from 1629 to 1689, then the Analysis of the transition. This report will end with a Final Assessment.

  1. THE REGICIDE OF CHARLES I

The end of the Divine Right of Kings begins with a man who wanted to Make England Catholic Again. That King was Charles I. His struggle for absolute power would trigger what I am calling the third major civil war of England.

The first civil war was in the 12th century, during the tumultuous reign of Stephen I. This period is called The Anarchy. The second civil war was in the 15th century, 200 years before Charles I’s reign. These ongoing struggles between the House of Lancaster and the House of York came to be called the Wars of the Roses.

Two civil wars will be fought under Charles, leading to his eventual execution and the creation of a Cromwell-led Puritan state.

The beginning of the end for Charles began when he tried to rebel against the Protestant shackles placed upon him by the Parliament. This was only 4 years into his reign.

  1. THE PERSONAL RULE – 1629-1640 – In March of 1629, Charles I made the decisive move to dissolve the pesky parliament. This began the period called either “The Personal Rule” of Charles or “Eleven Years’ Tyranny.”

The dissolution came as the parliament was becoming less inclined to give Charles the funds he requested, but more significantly, the parliament was becoming increasing suspicious of Charles’ stealth Catholicism.

Charles raised funds as he needed them, using “creative solutions,” including extending “ship money” inland in 1635. This was a de facto tax to be paid either with ships or the money to build the ships.

In addition to pressing the nation for revenue, Charles also continued to attempt to slowly nudge England back into the Catholic orbit. He continued to make “reforms” under Archbishop William Laud that triggered an act of defiance by Scotland and the emergence of the heart of the resistance to come, the Puritans.

In 1638, Scotland signed “The National Covenant,” which was a formal rebuke of Charles’ “reforms.”

By 1640, Charles would run out of revenue-raising gimmicks, in large part thanks to what has come to be known as “The Bishops Wars.” Due to these wars, Charles needed to recall the parliament to get revenue.

  1. THE BISHOP’S WARS – 1639-1640 – After Scotland passed the National Convention in defiance of Charles’ religious reforms, Charles chose to double down and attempt to force the Scottish church to become Episcopal, or Bishop-run, as opposed to Presbyterian, or elder-run. In addition to this dramatic “reform,” he also required the church to use the English Prayer Book.

Scotland revolted from English rule, forcing the English to retreat. Now, Charles had to return to London, hat in hand, asking the parliament he ignored for 11 years to fund his religious war, a war most of Protestant England would have opposed.

In April 1640, Charles recalled the parliament to get funds for the war; however, he failed to make a deal, refusing mostly to compromise on the parliament’s religious demands. Three weeks later, the parliament would earn its name, the Short Parliament, when Charles dissolved it once again.

Without more funds, Charles yet pressed on to invade Scotland, only to be rebuffed soundly. After the Scottish army occupied Newcastle, Charles was forced to negotiate, returning to London once again, hat in hand, recalling Parliament to get revenue to fight the Scottish in a religious war few Protestant English would have supported.

  1. THE LONG PARLIAMENT – 1640-1641 – In November 1640 Charles I would once again convene Parliament. What he could not know is that this parliament would last longer than he would live. The Long Parliament, as it has become to be known, would exist, with a few interruptions, until 1660.

This time, the Parliamentarians were ready. They began by securing the right to dissolve themselves by simply refusing to be dismissed by the King. They would immediately pass the Triennial Act, which required Parliament to be recalled minimally every three years.

Then, they moved against Charles’ closest advisors, seeking to destroy Charles’ power structure during his Personal Rule. Their top target was Thomas Wentworth, the Earl of Strafford, Charles’ closet advisor, and the one most blamed for advising Charles to push so aggressively to force the English back into the Catholic Church.

In May of 1641, Wentworth was impeached by the Long Parliament. He was shortly then executed. Upon news of his execution, the Irish Catholics rebelled. The question looming was this, who should be trusted to lead the armies to quell the rebellion? The Parliamentarians didn’t want that leader to be the King.

On October 23, 1641, the Irish Catholic Rebellion began in Ulster. It spread fast, and it spread far and wide. News publishing was becoming more widespread during this time. Much of it was sensational, mostly produced by partisans using news to support their faction. These publishers were called pamphleteers, for they printed pamphlets.

The relaxation of printer regulations and licensing, along with increased literacy, and the increasingly lowering cost of printing due to evolving technologies created the perfect environment for the creation of the news industry we mostly have today.

The news coming out of Ireland was of slaughter. The English read stories of brutal slayings of their fellow countrymen, which inflamed the Protestant English against the Irish Catholics.

  1. THE FIRST CIVIL WAR – 1641-1646 – Rather than hand over the army to Charles, the Long Parliament passed a “Grand Remonstrance,” which effectively hamstrung Charles’ ability to both raise funds and take the head of the army.

In January of 1642, Charles attempted to quell the Long Parliament revolt by arresting five key members of the group. He entered the House of Commons with armed guards, seeking to arrest the “Five Members,” but failed to do so. He hastily left London, but he was already plotting his next move.

Charles would gather his wits in Nottingham, assessing his power. By August of that same year, Charles was ready to move. He raised the Royal Standard in Nottingham, declaring war on the Long Parliament.

Both sides had early victories, but the successful siege of the naval stronghold of Portsmouth by the Parliamentarians was the more impressive victory. The first major battle, however, the Battle of Edgehill in October 1642, would prove to be indecisive.

The Parliamentarians became known as the “Roundheads,” while the Royalists became known as the Cavaliers.

The war was largely indecisive throughout 1643, but it took a decisive turn on September 1643 when the Parliamentarians signed the Solemn League and Covenant with the Scottish Covenanters. During this time, a Parliamentarian named Oliver Cromwell was rising in the ranks, proving himself again and again on the battlefield.

In 1644, the Parliamentarians would win a decisive battle at Marsdon Moor. Cromwell would play a pivotal role in the battle, earning himself a promotion to Lieutenant General of Horse as a result.

It was this promotion that would enable Cromwell to lead the Parliamentarians to another decisive victory at the Battle of Naseby. That victory would come only after the formation of the New Model Army in February 1645. Cromwell was a significant contributor to that new formation. The army would be led by Sir Thomas Fairfax, with Cromwell serving as second in command.

Four months later, Cromwell would lead the New Model Army to the great victory at Naseby, where the strength of the Royalists was broken.

The rest of the First Civil War was largely a retreat by the Royalists, leading to Charles fleeing as an exiled King to Cornwall, the Royalists’ last stronghold. In May 1646, Charles surrendered to Scottish forces, effectively ending the First Civil War.

  1. SECOND CIVIL WAR – 1647-1649 – About eight months after Charles surrendered to the Scots, efforts at negotiations broke down. This led the Scots to turn Charles over to Parliament on January 30, 1647. Parliament put him on house arrest at the Holdenby House in Northamptonshire.

Charles would catch a potential lucky break when the presbyterian branch of the coalition grew to distrust the New Model Army, dominated as it was the Puritans. In March 1647, Presbyterian MPs lead a vote to dismantle the New Model Army. The New Model Army politely declined the request.

In June of 1647, Cornet George Joyce would go to Holdenby to secure the great prize, Charles, for the Parliamentarians. The King was taken by force from Holdenby and sent, eventually, to Hampton Court. The Army issued two official documents, The Solemn Engagement and the Heads of Proposals. The later would have kept Charles as King, but with less power.

Presbyterian mobs intimidated Parliament to vote their way, which led to the New Model Army taking London, and restoring Independent MPs by force. Charles considered the Heads of the Proposals, but ultimately, he would reject it in August 1647.

From October to early November, a schism formed within the New Model Army between the army officers and the rank and file that came to be called The Levellers. These men wanted the complete dissolution of the monarchy. They still repeated John Ball’s famous Peasants’ War cry, “When Adam dwelled and Eve spanned, who was first the gentleman?”

The officers wanted to preserve the monarchy while the Levellers wanted a clean break, and the creation of a new Constitution (the Agreement of the People). A series of debates happened, some of which involved Cromwell, called the Putney Debates. They were interrupted when King Charles escaped Hampton Court on November 11, 1647.

Charles settled into a new exile on the Isle of Wight. He holed himself up in Carlsbrooke Castle, under the care and protection of Colonel Robert Hammond.

Parliament passed a series of proposals aimed at preserving Charles’ crown, but Charles rejected them all. They were called The Four Bills.

While Parliament was negotiating with Charles, he was also signing secret deals with a faction within the Scottish Covenanters (aka the Engagers). The plan was to restore Charles in exchange for Charles establishing a Presbyterian model for the Church of England.

In January 1648, Parliament passed the Vote of No Address, which formally ended all negotiations with the King. They also dissolved the army’s General Council, leaving the Parliamentarians in a limbo state.

While Charles continued to muster resources for the planned war, the Parliamentarians were dealing with turmoil from within. Some soldiers even declared for the King. There was unrest in multiple Parliamentarian towns, with the Royalists successfully taking Berwick and Carlisle in April 1648.

In May of that same year, the New Model Army decisively beat a much larger Royalist Army at the Battle of St. Fagans. This broke the Royalist Army in South Wales.

In June, Royalists would gain Kent and significant castles. Part of the fleet also mutinied, declaring for the King.

The war turned in August 1648 when Cromwell led an assault on Royalist forces at the Battle of Preston. Over the course of three days, the Royalists were effectively broken,

On September 15, 1649, the Treaty of Newport was signed by the parliament and the King. The parliament was still dominated by Presbyterians, who began renegotiating terms with King Charles. The army responded in November of the same year, declaring Charles must be brought to justice as a “man of blood.” They issue the “Remonstrance of the Army.”

  1. CHARLES EXECUTED – 1649 – On December 1, 1648, the army moved decisively once again to take the prize, Charles, removing him from Carlsbrooke and taking him to Hurst Castle. Five days later, the Commons voted to approve the King’s concessions in the parliament negotiations, saying his concessions were enough for a settlement.

The next day, the army arrived, with Colonel Thomas Pride and his soldiers, who barred presbyterian MPs from entering the House of Commons. They also arrested 45 MPs. After they were done with their purges, all that was left was the Rump Parliament, which was dominated by Independents, all willing, able, and ready to put the King on trial. This event would come to be called “Pride’s Purge.”

From January 20-27 the trial of King Charles I was held. The King spent the majority of the trial refusing to acknowledge the authority of the court. At the end, Charles was convicted for being “a tyrant, traitor, murderer and public enemy.”

59 commissioners signed the death warrant. One of those signatures was a late edition, Oliver Cromwell. He had already become one of the core leaders. He was also already recognized as being their best orator. He was not an early supporter of the trial, let alone the death sentence, but eventually he chose to sign the warrant.

On January 30, 1649, Charles I of England was executed at Whitehall. Immediately after the execution, the Rump Parliament outlawed any declarations of kingship to any would-be successor.

From February to March 1649, the Rump Parliament passed a series of bills that abolished the monarchy, ordered executions of two key royalists, and created the Commonwealth of England.

  1. CROMWELL AND THE PROTECTORATE
  2. THE COMMONWEALTH AND THE THIRD CIVIL WAR – 1649-1651 – The Commonwealth period was dominated by two wars, both led by Cromwell. After the declaration of the Commonwealth, Cromwell took the head of the New Model Army and sailed to Ireland, where he would subdue the Irish, while becoming one of the most hated men to Irish Catholics to this day.

His brutal treatment of civilians during sieges is where the brunt of the critique hits. Historians are debating to this day whether that reputation was earned or not.

Cromwell returned, victorious, only to have to fight Charles I’s son, Charles II. He invaded Scotland in May 1650, scoring an early victory over the Scots at the Battle of Dunbar. On January 1, 1651, Charles II was declared King of Scotland. On September 3, 1651, Charles II met Cromwell at the Battle of Worcester. He was soundly defeated and sent into exile.

This marks the end of the Third Civil War.

  1. THE RUMP PARLIAMENT – 1652-1654 – On October 9, 1651, the Rump Parliament passed the Navigation Act, which was aimed at its main trade rivals, the Dutch. This will trigger a naval war with the Dutch. By late 1651, there were no wars or upheavals, though the nature of the Commonwealth remained undefined.

That peace would end on May 19, 1652, with a clash between English and Dutch ships at the Battle of Goodwin Sands. On July 10, the English completed their declaration of war against the Dutch.

In August of that same year, Army officers lobbied for new representation to the Rump Parliament. They respond by passing the Settlement of Ireland Act, which confiscated land and property from Catholics. Scotland also recognized the authority of the Commonwealth.

While the war went badly for the English, at home, the Rump Parliament was debating what form of government they should have; this also included debates on what kind of state church and religious rules the new government should have. The debates proffered nothing final, so the Commonwealth entered 1653 still at war with the Dutch, who briefly controlled the English Channel. The Commonwealth itself was still an unformed government.

The Battle of Portland in February 1653 would turn the tide in the first Anglo-Dutch War. This was followed up with another victory at Gabbard. The English then blockaded Dutch ports.

On April 20, 1653, Oliver Cromwell had run out of patience with the indecisive Rump Parliament. He brought an armed guard with him to the House of Commons. He declared to the MPs, “You have sat too long for any good you have been doing.” He promptly dissolved the Rump Parliament.

In July of that same year, the First Anglo-Dutch War saw its last major military engagement, and peace talks started.

Cromwell did not trust a general election, so he kept a Nominated Assembly, the Barebones Parliament, none of which were elected. They were 140 nominated MPs. The Barebones Parliament represented the Long Parliament, so no elections were required to be called. It was named after Praise-God Barebone, one of the nominated members.

Cromwell hoped this parliament would form a constitution, but it quickly splintered into major groups, the moderates and the radicals. The radicals were the Puritans, who wanted to radically restrict catholic religious practice, and any practice associated with it.

Moderates feared what the radicals might do, so on December 12, 1653, they dissolved the parliament. On December 13, 1653, John Lambert wrote the “Instrument of Government,” which is England’s first written constitution. Cromwell added some amendments, but ultimately accepted the constitution.

  1. THE PROTECTORATE – 1654-1658 – From January to February 1654, the Protectorate was established throughout the land, including in Scotland and Ireland. Oliver Cromwell was declared the Lord Protector. The protectorate issued an ordinance that made criticizing the government potentially treasonous. The Engagement Oath, an oath to the Commonwealth that was required of all citizens, was also repealed via ordinance.

The Protectorate created the Commission of Triers, which was a national religious regulating body that selected clergy. This institution was mostly Puritan. They had zero tolerance for Bishops and other “extreme” sects, but otherwise practiced protestant, non-episcopal, tolerance.

On April 5, 1654, the First Anglo-Dutch War ended. A key part of the treaty was a secret agreement between the Dutch and the Protectorate to assure a young Prince of Orange would not attain any meaningful office.

By the end of 1654, the Protectorate had put down a rebellion in Scotland, avoided an assassination attempt on Cromwell, but settled with its first written constitution. There was scarcely a person satisfied with it, though.

It had also ended a successful war with the Dutch, one that established England as a world naval power, which would be the source of its Empire to come.

For the next two years, the Protectorate fought a war with the Spanish in the Americas, numerous Royalists uprisings, and the onslaught of Puritan religious rules that included blasphemy acts, acts against drinking, alehouse prohibitions, shutting down race meetings, and more.

It was empowered during this time by the Rule of the Major Generals. Cromwell divided the country up into five military districts, assigning army officers to govern the land. These were the men willing to enforce the largely unpopular laws.

In January 1657 an attempt to make the Rule of the Major Generals permanent failed, and the experiment itself was ended when the Parliament refused to fund the Major Generals.

By May 1657, Oliver Cromwell had already lost much of his vitality, yet the Parliament would offer Cromwell the Crown. He would decline, but he accepted a revised constitution that expanded his executive powers.

1657 would see the parliament pass numerous religious laws, restricting everything from how you travel to what kinds of clothing can be worn. They passed laws criminalizing speech that MIGHT seem “popish” in nature.

On June 26, 1657, Parliament passed an “Act for the better observation of the Lord’s Day.”

The act included a list of activities and establishments that had to be shut down and banned on the Lord’s Day. This included banning “keepers leaving doors ordinarily opened,” shutting down using boats, horses, or sedans, except to worship, and even prohibiting having wakes.

On that same day, they passed an “Act for punishing persons who live at high rates with no visible estate, profession, or calling.”

The Anglo-Spanish War ended in June 1658, with the Battle of Dunes. It would result in England being given Dunkirk. This would be the last good news Cromwell would hear. On September 3, 1658, Oliver Cromwell died, having handed over his office to his son, Richard, who would not hold on to the Protectorate for long.

  1. THE FALL OF THE PROTECTORATE – 1658-1660 – Oliver Cromwell left his 31-year-old son, Richard, a Protectorate facing a debt of more than 2 million pounds, along with a disgruntled army. He was entering into military culture, having not led troops into battle and existing mostly as a country gentleman until his appointment.

While the ceremony looked smooth, the knives were out for Cromwell the moment he took the office of Protectorate. On November 23, 1658, the Protectorate held a state funeral for Oliver Cromwell. The funeral was similar to the one held for Kings. It became apparent that it also added significantly to the debt. Six days later, Parliament was recalled to raise funds to pay the debt.

On January 27, 1659, the Third Protectorate Parliament met. The new parliament had a second House just called The House, or The Other House, which has a mix of adversaries to the Protectorate, including crypto-Royalists.

The rivalry between the two houses became apparent almost immediately, with indecision and lack of a clear winner continuing as weeks turned into months. It was during this period of time that Richard’s hold on power waned, as he demonstrated over and over an unwillingness to move decisively while the power against him and the Protectorate grew.

By May 1659, Richard could see the writing on the wall. He agreed to dissolve the Protectorate and hand over power to the army. The Rump Parliament was recalled. They declared the government to be a Commonwealth without a King, single person, or House of Lords. Thus, the protectorate was no more. Richard would leave England near the end of 1660, living in Europe until his return in 1680; he did so under an assumed name, John Clarke. He would die in Hertfordshire in 1712, having lived the quiet life of a country gentleman the last 32 years of his life.

  1. THE RESTORATION TO THE GLORIOUS REVOLUTION – 1660-1689

On May 8, 1660, Charles II landed on English soil at Dover. 21 days later he arrived in London, where he was crowned King of England. The Commonwealth and The Protectorate were over, but parts of them would survive in the new iteration of monarchy.

  1. CHARLES II – THE WARRING YEARS – 1661-1677 – Charles began his reign by having the corpse of Oliver Cromwell dug up so they could “execute” him for the crime of regicide. The new parliament, called The Cavalier Parliament, was dominated by Royalists. They passed a series of laws over the next four years called the Clarendon Code, which aimed at keeping “Nonconformists” (such as the Puritans) out of power.

In 1665, Charles found himself at war with the Dutch. The Second Anglo-Dutch War was fought mostly for the same reasons as the last, over trade and prestige, but this time a third element was a factor, colonies in the New World.

The war ended in 1667 with the Treaty of Breda. The English won a major concession, New Amsterdam, which would later become New York City. But the cost of the war was high, and near the end of the war the Dutch managed to raid the river Thames on English soil. They captured major English ships of war in the Chatham docks in what has come to be called the Raid on the Medway.

In 1670, Charles made a series of secret treaties with France that committed England to fight the Dutch again; in exchange, Charles would get financial and military support. Included in that agreement was a pledge by Charles to convert to Roman Catholicism. Charles was moving towards becoming a crypto-catholic.

In 1672, the Third Anglo-Dutch War began. This time, the English were fighting the Dutch to support the French Catholic cause. The people did not support the war, nor, even, did the pro-Royalist, but decidedly Anglican parliament.

The move by Charles triggered the Cavalier parliament to pass the Test Act in March 1673. This act required all civil and military officeholders to essentially publicly rebuke Catholicism and take the Anglican pledge. The parliament also demanded Charles end the war, which happened in 1674 through the Treaty of Westminster.

  1. CHARLES II – THE EXCLUSION CRISIS – 1678-1685 – Charles was, by now, a crypto-Catholic. He tipped his hand by going to war with the Dutch in support of the Catholic cause. His brother, James, was a Catholic. The pamphleteers, the newspapers of their day, ran with a story told by Titus Oates.

He told the story of a plot by Catholics to assassinate Charles and put his younger brother, the Catholic James, on the throne. It quickly became the hottest read in the country. It triggered an anti-Catholic hysteria that led to the executions of 20-35 people. The story was completely made up.

While the story was made up, James was a real Catholic who could really succeed Charles to throne.

In May 1679, Parliament passed the Habeas Corpus Act, intended to prevent arbitrary arrest and unlawful imprisonment. It was an attempt to curtail Charles’ arresting powers before he ever used them, and many were sure he would.

From 1679-1681, three parliaments in a row attempted to use legislative power to prevent Catholic James from succeeding Charles. Each time, Charles dissolved the parliament. This has come to be called “The Exclusion Crisis.”

During this period of time, political parties began to emerge. On one side were the Whigs, and on the other sides were the Torries. The Whigs are gone, but the Tory Party still exists (though it’s now on what looks like its last legs).

The Whigs were the exclusionists. Their name came from a Sottish word used for “rebels” or “cattle drivers.” It was an unflattering term, but it stuck. The Torries were opposed to excluding James. They were originally called Abhorrers, but soon came to be called the Tories, which was an Irish word meaning Catholic outlaw or bandit. It was an unflattering term, but it stuck.

Charles dissolved the Oxford Parliament in April 1681. It would be the last time he called parliament. He was subsidized by the French King, Louis XIV. Two years later, a plot would be uncovered to assassinate both Charles and James. This time the story was real. The plotters were Whigs. This is called “The Rye House Plot.”

The plotters intended on killing Charles and James together on their way to see the horse races coming from Westminster to Newmarket. The plan was thwarted by a major fire in Newmarket that decimated half the town, cancelling the horse races.

Scores of Whig leaders were executed, with a few hanged, drawn and quartered. The highest-ranking person executed was Sir Thomas Armstrong, who was also a member of Parliament. Another member of parliament, Lord William Russell, was beheaded.

Other members of parliament were arrested. The 1st Earl of Essex, Arthor Capell, cut his throat, committing suicide while on trial in the Tower of London.

Charles had many health issues throughout his adult life, but they began to worsen towards the end of 1684. On February 6, 1685, Charles died, just five days after he had taken another turn for the worst.

Despite every effort to stop it, including a plot to murder both Charles and James, the younger Catholic brother would take the crown. James II became the English Catholic King. Let the reader note Charles converted to Catholicism on his death bed, though he was, indeed, a practicing crypto-Catholic.

  1. JAMES II – 1685-1689 – The reign of James II began with a rebellion, the Monmouth Rebellion. It would last for 3 months, from May to July of 1685. It was led by the illegitimate, but Protestant, son of Charles II, James Scott. He was the Duke of Monmouth. The rebellion ended at the Battle of Sedgemoor. This would be the last major battle on English soil up to present time.

After the battle, Monmouth was executed. What followed was called “The Bloody Assizes.” Hundreds of rebels were executed, others were deported to the Caribbean, where they would be pressed into hard labor.

James’ reading of the room was not good, as can be seen by his decision in 1686 to essentially veto the Test Act. He not only vetoed the Test Act, but he also appointed Catholics as officers in the army and as royal administrators. He followed this up with the Declaration of Indulgence in 1687, removing all restrictions on Catholics.

This Declaration of Indulgence required the Anglican Bishops to read the Declaration out loud to their congregations. In June of 1688, two things happened that sealed James’ fate, one was the birth of a son, an heir to the Catholic crown, and the other was the trial of the seven bishops.

The birth of his son, James Francis Edward, coincided with seven bishops openly refusing to read the Declaration of Indulgence to their congregations. James had them arrested and charged, but the jury failed to convict them. The seven bishops went free, and this emboldened the rebels plotting against James.

  1. THE GLORIOUS REVOLUTION – Do you remember the secret deal Charles I made with the Dutch at the end of the First Anglo-Dutch War? The deal Charles made in secret was that the Dutch would stop a certain young man from gaining prominent office.

That young man was William of Orange; he would lead a Dutch fleet and army to invade England and depose the Catholic King. He had ships and 15,000 soldiers. It was November of 1688, the Glorious Revolution had begun.

William brought along with him his wife, Mary II. She was the real prize, for she was the King’s estranged daughter. William and Mary were invited by seven powerful English politicians, known as “The Immortal Seven.” They sent a secret message to William, promising him support from the English people should he depose James.

When James heard of William’s landing at Devon, he eventually escaped to France, but only after being briefly captured. On February 1689, the newly convened Parliament offered William III and Mary II the crown of England. In April of that same year they were crowned. They were not formally decreed by Parliament as King and Queen until February 1689.

There is a cost for the crown, and that cost is real power. William and Mary accepted the Declaration of Rights, a precursor to the American constitution. It gives the parliament supreme power, and it also excludes Catholics from the crown.

Blood would be shed, through the Williamite War and the Jacobite Rising, but all rebellions would be effectively ended within a few months. On December 16, 1689, the Constitutional Monarchy was established, with Parliament also issuing the Bill of Rights, which was a precursor to our American Bill of Rights.

The 1689 Tolerance Act was also passed. This allowed religious freedom, but only to those who pledged allegiance to the crown.

William and Mary were the constitutional protestant monarchs of England, Scotland and Ireland. The Protestant Constitutional Monarchy became the model of government that would eventually conquer the world, or nearly 1/3 of it. Less than 20 years after the Glorious Revolution, the fruit of the transition would bear the nation’s new name, Great Britian.

  1. ANALYSIS

This is a comparison of the state of England’s major institutions at the start of our 60-year survey, 1629, and 1689, at the end of it.

  1. EDUCATION – The basic education structures of 1629 continued to exist in 1689. Education was tailored around serving two classes, the landed gentry and the clergy. There were two Universities, Oxford and Cambridge, both of which were tied to the Oxford Church. There were two main public schools, Eton and Westminster. The few small public schools outside of Eton and Westminster were not part of the gentry-clergy pipeline, which was controlled by the Anglican Church.

While the bones of the system hadn’t changed, the center of education had. While study in Latin and classical rhetoric continued to be the backbone of the institution, Aristotle and Scholasticism was replaced with Empiricism.

The world in natural philosophy had to conform to scripture, where now the world had to conform to scientific inquiry. In 1620, Francis Bacon’s Novum Organum was published. The book began the process of institutionalizing the scientific method as the primary source for understanding the world.

While this may have not been Bacon’s intent (it wasn’t), it’s where his revolutionary articulation of the use of inductive reasoning (discovering high principles through particular investigations) in a truth verifying process (the scientific method) ended.

Bacon wanted to show how the discovery of materiality would affirm Romans 1:20. He didn’t want to transfer the source of wisdom from God to the ground.

This process began in the Education institutions before 1629, but it was dramatically accelerated with the creation of the Royal Society in 1660. This society became the arbiter of education, and it brought with it Empiricism as its standard bearer.

At the end of 1689, another change happened because of the Glorious Revolution that would further transfer the foundation for wisdom from the revelatory, God’s Word, to materiality, Empiricism. These education “reforms” put even more of an emphasis on “practical”, scientific, and “modern subjects,” driving classical studies further into the background.

The transition not only produced substantive change in and of itself, but it also set the groundwork for even more substantive change just through following the empirical direction the transition had created.

  1. CULTURE – The two dominant influences on English culture both in 1629 and 1689 were the King James Bible and William Shakespeare’s plays. The expression of English culture was increasingly through the pamphleteers and print in general. High culture flowed through London, and it served the landed gentry and the aristocracy.

Another key similarity, which was not shaken, even during Charles II’s and James II’s reigns, was the dominance of Protestant culture in 1629 through to 1689. Outside of these similarities, culture took a wild ride during this period. It started off dominated by high culture.

Under the Puritans, it became austere, with much of it going underground to avoid a fine, or worse. Under Charles II, culture became libertine, almost vulgar. William and Mary would restore sobriety, without becoming austere, or returning to high culture dominance.

One key difference in Protestant culture from Catholic culture is the presumption of both the right and the responsibility of the individual to account for his own belief and understanding of the gospel.

The Catholic presumed that this responsibility laid with the governing body of the church. Theirs was but to follow what the church leaders instructed them to do. The Protestant presumed the individual had a responsibility, and a right, to account for his own understanding of the gospel, though not to do so outside of church guidance.

Another key difference between the Catholic and the Protestant was the notion of collective salvation versus individual salvation. This is a complex divide, and I won’t attempt to badly explain it through brevity. While it is not as cut and dried as “collective salvation versus individual salvation,” the difference tends to create a sense of more collective imperative in the Catholic mindset versus a more individual imperative in the Protestant mindset.

The 99 saved sheep are not fully saved without the one lost sheep in the Catholic system (sort of). The 99 sheep are fully saved without the one lost sheep in the Protestant system. It is perhaps this presumed fact that prevented the Catholic Kings from transforming England to a Catholic nation. They underestimated how “Protestant” the English had become in only one century.

One trend that started before 1629, but became dominant by Cromwell’s Protectorate, was the development of what has become our modern political discourse (thought the French Revolution was to calcify it).

In much the same way we now struggle to adjust to the parameters that social media places on human being, so too did the English struggle to adjust to the parameters set by having near-daily paper production of content based on events as recent as a day ago.

This is what some experienced who lived in big cities where pamphleteers were printing their news daily to an audience they could reach in public markets.

Villages and rural farms could get news within a week of it happening from as far away as two or three counties. If the news was hot enough, they could get it sometimes as far away as the other side of the country.

  1. PHILOSOPHY – When evaluating the philosophy institution, I am assessing it based on the prevailing and applied schools of thought, not the schools of thought we look back at as the most advanced philosophical thought (unless that “advanced” thought rapidly becomes prevalent as well).

In 1620, Francis Bacon’s Novum Organum was published. This work becomes the standard, the orthodoxy, by 1689. In 1629, Bacon was changing the most elite classrooms. In 1689, Bacon was in the bones of the children before they ever sat down to learn.

Around this time, Thomas Hobbes showed up in the historical record, most notably for an English translation of Thucydides where he shared governing concepts through the introduction that would come to fruition in his Leviathan. This treatise on political theory both contributed to creating the paradigms for such discourse and setting the groundwork for the emergence of a truly “secular state.”

By 1689, Hobbes was feted in the elite classrooms, but no-one in 1689 was calling for the creation of a secular state. After all, England’s justification for rule comes first through being a nation whose God is the Lord, reflected in the state church.

Unlike the past state church, however, this church allowed for the people to reject it by removing compulsory membership in the church. However, the state must have a church, for a state must be one whose God is the Lord; therefore, the King must be Anglican, for the King’s primary job is to defend the state church, which is now the People’s church.

The year of the Glorious Revolution marked the debut of John Locke’s Two Treatises of Government. This book is the fruit of Bacon and Hobbes, but goes further than both. Yet Locke’s government model still rests its assumption that “natural rights” are only rights if they are given to us by God, and that God would be Protestant.

Locke grounds the rational in a presumption of God as the source for rationality itself. Without God, the justification for rational thought dies. Yet, in Locke’s model, government is driven primarily by rational thought framed within the boundaries of the agency given to every human by God, which is the capacity to choose, which is free will.

In this writer’s opinion, philosophy as the head of human understanding becomes a semantic justification for rulership. Well before 1629, philosophy had gone from serving the lesser science to becoming a leading science itself. Philosophy was more of a tool within theology, for instance, than a tool to question theology itself (unless it was being done dialectically, which it was commonly done, even up to 1629).

In 1629, philosophy as a justification for rule was hedged by this underlying assumption, the Divine Right of Kings. The arguments concerned the degree to which the King should have power and the degree the church should have power (in addition to which church).

The argument didn’t shift, materially, noticeably, until Charles I lost his head. Then suddenly, the English were adrift in a new paradigm. Cromwell and his parliaments struggled to come up with an answer, but they were so far outside their element, they had no clear response.

So England stumbled back to the King, and still barely holds on to him today (though not for the same reason).

William and Mary, though, were not coming back by divine right. They were invited by the people, through the “Immortal Seven.” Their primary task was to defend the church, which sustains a nation whose God is the Lord, but whom itself is accountable to the people, who can freely choose not to participate in it.

The justification for English Rule is the will of the people. The main calibrator of governance understanding is empirical natural law. God still justifies that natural law, but that natural law itself allows open defiance of God.

  1. WORLD POLICY – The differences in England’s world policy between 1629 and 1689 may not seem all that much, but the groundwork that had been laid in those 60 years was about to change everything about it.

Technically, when William and Mary took the crown, the policy was already radically different, though immediately, before policy makes institutions, no one would have noticed.

England’s standing on the world stage was already on the ascendancy, thanks in large part to its wars with the Dutch. But the difference in status between 1629 and 1689 was not profound. After all, England had beaten the Dutch twice, withdrew the third time, but had won concessions every single time. Yet the Dutch, through William, just invaded England and installed a Protestant Queen, Mary II.

After Charles II turned England into a Catholic ally with the French, the Dutch had now turned a powerful French ally into what would become a powerful enemy of France. But again, in 1689, this wasn’t so apparent, not even in the court.

William would take with him a new approach to continental (western Europe) diplomacy. He relied on having continental projection of military power. In the Anglo-Dutch wars, the English Navy had more than proven itself, and showed England how valuable naval power was, especially with the discovery of the New World.

William was colonial-minded when he took the helm of England, but in 1689, William was busy quelling internal upheaval. By 1690, the wheels were put in motion that would transform England to Great Britain. No one saw it in 1689, but the transition from 1629 to 1689 had already made that reality a near inevitability.

William and Mary may have taken the crown in 1689 with a foreign policy mostly like what it was in 1629, but in point of fact it was already radically changed. Now, Catholic France would have a Protestant rival to the title of world’s greatest empire. It was a battle the Protestants would win.

England as the primary identity of the Kingdom would change on May 1, 1707, under the Acts of Union, just 18 years after William and Mary became the sovereigns of a Protestant Constitutional Monarchy whose God is the Lord.

They would become the Kingdom of Great Britain, bringing the Scots, the Irish, and the Welsh into a world empire-building identity. The British men and women were born, and in the hearts and minds of William and Mary, in 1689, that fact was practically already accomplished.

  1. ECONOMY – The underlying economic philosophy of England would not change from 1629 to 1689. That change was a hundred or so years ahead. For now, mercantilism began this transition, and mercantilism ended this transition.

The key principles of mercantilism (which is not an economic school of thought itself) is that the market’s primary purpose is to serve the state, and all trade must be zero-sum, meaning the only good trading is one where you export more than your rivals import.

Import is a form of colonialism, or at least an advanced guard for your rivals into your sacred spaces, your life-giving markets, the lifeblood of the state.

Agrarian production was the primary driver of revenue in 1629, and it continued to be in 1689.

But in 1629, agrarian production was mostly domestic. By 1689, it still was, but now, a significant minority of production was from the colonies abroad, and even more was coming from the opening of trade with Asia.

England’s lessons about naval power translated to trade. A series of laws called the Navigation Acts (between 1651 and 1663) assured that England MUST rely on English sailors for its trade goods, both sending out and bringing in. These laws alone did much to transition England to a world naval power by 1689.

In 1629, the medieval monopolies with their guild and apprentice system were largely still in place. People were mostly born into their occupations. By 1689, that had largely changed

Again, some of the difference were not seen yet, but underneath, even more radical differences were coming, just through the expansion of colonies and other trade, all accompanied by powerful English ships to protect them.

One of those changes coming would be the Bank of England, created in 1694, which would offer financial stability for a growing colonial Empire.

While the cities hadn’t exploded in population, the increase was significant, including in London, which nearly doubled in size. Overall, the urban population of England doubled during this time-period, making occupational mobility more feasible to a growing number of people, breaking the medieval monopolies.

The percentage of people living in cities in 1629 was probably around 7%; by 1689 it had grown to perhaps as high as 15%. The total population went from roughly 4.5 million in 1629 to 5.3 million in 1689. This means a lot of that urban growth was coming from people moving into cities, not overall population increase.

  1. GOVERNANCE – In 1629, the government of England had the monarch at the head. During the early reign of Charles I, he ruled with no Parliament for 11 years. He was following the French Catholic model of governance, which emerged from the Catholic assumptions regarding the nature of stewarding belief and the nature of salvation.

That assumption was that the church is the steward of your belief, and salvation is a collective process that cannot afford to leave one sheep behind. It makes sense, then, that the divinely assigned King should also have the same authority over belief and collective salvation in the non-sacred as the church does in the sacred. As the defender of the church, it is the King that enforces church decrees.

The King is only answerable to the Pope.

Charles inherited a Kingship that had been gradually losing power to the Parliament. Henry VIII may have chosen the Protestant Church to escape the authority of the Pope, but that decision became the authentic spirit of the English people.

Perhaps it is their island occupation that made the English predisposed to a Faith that either entrusts or burdens (depending on your perspective) the individual with the responsibility of stewarding their own beliefs (with righteous church guidance). This ideology legitimizes island dependence that could not be achieved were England to have stayed in the Catholic fold.

From Rome, the Pope could push European politics into the English court, whether it wanted it or not.

The Constitutional monarchy William and Mary inherited had key limits on their power. They could not issue laws; they could only introduce them. They could not levy taxes without consent of the parliament. They could not maintain a standing army in peacetime without parliament consent.

The biggest change might have been that the Parliament was semi-permanent. No King could easily dismiss it.

There was religious freedom for all, but not the freedom to be King. No Catholics, no non-Anglicans could be the monarch, for the King’s primary justification for rule was two-fold, his royal blood (Stuart in 1629 and Stuart in 1689, through Mary) and his ability to protect the church, which made the nation a nation whose God is the Lord.

Up to present day, no 60-year period in English history has so transformed English government like this period did. The modern British state we see today is still, essentially, based on the model that began in 1689.

  1. NATIONAL STORY – By 1629, England had two strong national stories, one was its righteous status as a nation with a God-anointed King whose God is the Lord, and the other was its defense of liberty as a check against the power of the King. Liberty, at first, was for the most powerful, but the concept continually trickled down.

During this 60-year period, the concept of liberty reached the peasants once again, as they did in 1381 (only to be crushed by the divine right of King Richard II).

In 1629, the national story placed the individual as a servant who pledged his loyalty to the King. This made the national story a personal story connected to a real, living individual, the King.

In 1689, the individual’s national story was being both blessed by liberty and compelled to respect the liberty of your neighbor. Liberty as an ideal replaced the face of the individual. The national story shifted from the personal to the ideal, from the material to the metaphysical.

As culture moved from the ideal to the material, the national story moved from the material to the ideal, brought about by the shift from natural philosophy to empiricism.

This is where politics comes into being, with the dissolution of the self as the national story. While politics creates its own charismatic “heroes,” these heroes are either bounded by the ideal (such as liberty) or they break the ideal and return governance back to the personal, ending political debate altogether (see Hitler, Stalin, Mao for examples).

In 1629, England’s story was sovereignty that glorified God. It was rooted in the island. It did not look far beyond its own shores.

In 1689, England’s story was the protector of liberty and the defender against Catholic tyranny, worldwide. These two outward thinking narratives gave justification to the expansions ahead, especially because the main threat to England’s defense of liberty and Protestant freedom was its greatest trade and colonial rival, Catholic France.

England and France were about to test Protestant and Catholic being as it applied to building a naval-based world trade power that would eventually become a world colonial power.

Had England been on the continent, naval power might not have been as determining a factor as it would prove to be. France’s continued necessity for sustaining greater land power for defense of its borders compared to what had become a mostly settled, peaceful realm of England (soon to be Great Britain), also had a factor in determining the outcome of this contest.

Still, this writer suspects the ideology that allowed greater truth claim discourse than the other was better suited to manage the increasingly technologically dependent shifts in realities of power the near future would become. Stewards of their own belief, yet guided by the church, were still more free to explore material reality than those who were told what their beliefs were, according to the church.

Religion, for both England and France, was the center of the national story, both in 1629 and 1689. For England, that religion was Protestant, even when Catholics ruled. It hadn’t changed from 1629 to 1689.

It is not unreasonable to surmise the preservation of the Protestant story over the Catholic story during this transition best equipped England for the unique opportunities that began to unfold with the discovery of the New World, though a more thorough study would be required to make a surer justification of that claim.

  1. RELIGION – In 1629, the Church of England was still fighting to assure the unity of the State church for the English people. Not only did it have to fight the heart of the people, but it also had to fight its own Kings as well. Even when the Kings were removed, it found itself at odds with the Lord Protector, Oliver Cromwell.

The faiths of the Catholic and crypto-catholic Kings bore little reflection of the heart of the English people, but even in 1629 there were plenty of Protestant “dissenters.” In 1629, they were just as much of a threat to the state church as the Catholics were. In 1689, if the will of the people whose God is the Lord was going to be the justification for rulership, the Protestant dissenters had to be free.

The dream of the united church was officially dead.

What remained the same was that the English were overwhelmingly Christian and overwhelmingly Protestant. They would tolerate protestant liberty, but they still had a fundamental mistrust of Catholicism.

I suspect that mistrust was borne more from the differences in political assumptions the two ideologies led to than the differences in theological belief; one’s rulership was still top-down verified and one’s rulership was bottom-up verified.

Had neither been entangled in state power, the differences might have been tolerable, though only if one or the other dominated, leaving the lesser outside the real halls of power, but still able to freely live out their theology’s institutional potential.

Catholic and Protestant theologies build radically different justifications for rulership, with the key difference being justification through the approval of the people versus justification through God’s anointed leaders. This is why, in large part, America mistrusted Catholic politicians for so long.

These differences persist to this day, but not so distinctly, for Catholic dissenter groups have their own bottom-up verification process, and Protestant dissenter groups have their own top-down verification process. In other words, some Catholics have become more like traditional Protestants, and some Protestants have become more like traditional Catholics.

In England today, Catholics and Protestants are largely cultural believers with little understanding about their church doctrines, their sacred writings, or the history of their church. But wherever there are strongly convicted “traditional” Catholics and “traditional” Protestants, those frictions will become more obvious, especially where one or the other is not overwhelmingly dominant (but still tolerant).

In 1689, those differences were like oil and vinegar. It consolidated the English against the Catholics so much; they welcomed a Dutch invasion.

The invasion of England by a Dutch Prince became the heroic rescue of the Protestant Kingdom by the Protestant King and Queen. The bloodless revolution (which was not bloodless, though the bloodshed would happen immediately AFTER they were coronated) was a testimony to the righteousness of the action.

The invasion of England became a symbol of English defiance against Catholic tyranny. The submission of the King and Queen to the new constitution became a symbol of England’s defence of liberty itself (though not quite yet “liberty for all,” even though John Locke said it in 1689).

The story of liberty, though, was nested in the Protestant story, which is really in Luke 14, where Christ warns his followers (Luke 14:25-33), “Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, ‘If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.

‘For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

‘And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.’”

A man cannot count the cost if he is not free to do so.

FINAL ASSESSMENT

This report was created right around the time the United States of America commemorated the terrorist attacks on New York City, the Capital, and Pennsylvania, on September 11, 2001.

That event began a transition in this country that has yet to be concluded (as of the writing of this report). The act itself was the application of a theological principle that those who defy God are marked for death. In 1629, that principle was shared by the English, who weren’t too shy about executing those who openly defied God.

By 1689, the “right” to murder the infidel was no longer recognized. The Islamists who killed for Allah, however, weren’t killing heretics that had gone through a trial. They weren’t even targeting people in their jurisdiction. They were targeting random people not only for death, but as a warning to those in the future who might defy their God.

By the standards of 1629, this version of Islam would be more unaligned politically with the politics of the Anglican Protestants than Catholicism was, for not even Catholicism countenanced random attacks on strangers to bring the fear of their God on their offending neighbors.

What the Islamists have in common with the Christians of 1629 was the notion that politics and the sacred are one. Political discourse is theological, not philosophical. By 1689, a nation must still be a nation whose God is the Lord, but it must be so consensually, for God loves a cheerful giver.

This assumption of consensual rule is the fruit of Protestant, not Catholic, Christianity. It comes from the notion that a man must count the cost himself of his own belief, not trusting it to authority. Although that man should not steward his own beliefs without a church structure to guide him.

The Islamists that executed the 9/11 attack share in that Catholic belief, that counting the cost of belief is the sacred authority’s job, not the individual. This is where the similarity between the two ends, at least in 1629 (and even 1689).

The Islamist god is very different than the Catholic and Protestant God. The Islamist god calls for the non-believers to be killed, the enemy to be vanquished. The Christian God calls on His followers to love your enemy and not meet evil with evil.

Christians must defy Scripture to do these things (and they did). Islamists’ scriptures plainly command it.

The Islamist can send you to Hell, the Christian is warned not to take God’s vengeance for yourself, to let the chaff grow with the wheat until God’s appointed time, when HE will separate the chaff from the wheat, gathering the wheat into his barn and setting the chaff on fire.

There are many beliefs that prevent their followers from assuming the role of God’s executioner on earth. There are many non-deistic political theories that not only allow this, but they also compel their followers to be their Ideal’s executioner on earth.

Progressives, for instance, come from such a political school of thought. “Punch a Nazi” was how they announced their plan to use violence to change America to their image.

This, in large part, is why Islamists and Progressives ally together whenever they have a common enemy, especially Christians, especially Protestant Christians, especially Americans.

Progressives justify killing the infidel not for their beliefs alone, but because they are part of a class of generational sinners, and thus must bend the knee to their betters or die. For most (not all) Islamists, a repentant sinner can become a Muslim. Sin is individual, not social.

For the progressive, repentance offers certain generational sinners only perpetual payment for those generational sins. For the progressive, sin is social, not individual.

Americanism comes from the nation created in 1689, which itself comes from Protestant assumptions about the rights of individuals to rule over others. Sin is individual. Sin is forgivable. The sinner can be returned to good standing.

Historians often look at this period covered in this report as evidence for why we must remove religion from politics, for it produces such violence as we’ve seen here. But religion itself never produces wars. It is always the ambitions of men and women that produce wars. Religion is just a vehicle of power to galvanize your side into effective, focused cooperative action.

Secular religions have risen where Deistic religions fade. The Age of Enlightenment gave birth to most of them. One of these secular religions is progressivism, the belief that man can understand the good finitely and assure that good vanquishes a clearly definable evil, bringing an end to history, which is heaven on earth.

Progressivism without state power is one thing, progressivism with state power is a threat to self-stewardship, is a threat to the Protestant assumption regarding man’s right to rule over others. Progressives take far more authority over the lives of others than Protestantism does, even when Protestantism is entangled in the state.

Even by 1629 standards, Progressivism and Islam would assume far more authority over the English than even the Catholic state would.

In 1629, a man with a virus held the throne of England. That virus was a governance standard that was anathema to a Protestant mindset, which had sort of emerged in less than a century from the founding of the English Protestant Church.

  1. NOTE: The history of the island of Britian, from the Celts to the Romans, from the Angles to the Stuarts, along with its geopolitical reality as an island near a hostile and dangerous landmass, contributed to its natural predilection for a “Protestant” theology long before Protestantism had its name.

Try as he might, none of Charles I’s decrees touched the people. Rather, they caused the people to grow even more suspicious of Catholics because of his efforts. His two sons, Charles II and James II, would have even less luck attempting to assert a theology that would change England’s governance standards so radically.

The 60-year-period was not about the differences in theology between Catholics, Protestants, and even the assemblers versus the bishops, it was more about the governance differences these theologies produced.

Presbyterians tended to favor more direct Democratic governance, while Episcopalians tended to favor governance with more checks and balances. Catholics would favor more absolute authority.

Democracy for the Presbyterians, Republic for the Episcopalians, Absolute Authority for the Catholics, at least in 1689.

It is the very existence of the state that makes any colonizing ideology, regardless of its central ideal (be it a god or a principle), either compatible or incompatible with the governance standards of the prevailing culture.

The two Charles’ and James attempted to impose their colonizing ideology, Catholicism, on a people whose governance standards were formed by their whole being, with liberty as the ground and God as the heavens. Had there been no state, their beliefs would not be a threat to their Protestant neighbors. Their “virus” would rise or fall on its own “merits.”

That the state exists, the notion of a class of people having a monopoly on violence, is what makes every ideological system potentially dangerous. Without God, men will still go to war. Without the state?

Yet for we Christians we clearly see God has ordained the existence of the state and called us to be good stewards of the states we find ourselves in.

I believe that the godly men and women of this 60-year period were struggling to sustain statehood whose God is the Lord without becoming madmen who advance the Kingdom of God with earthly, rather than spiritual, power.

For Christians, this remains a challenge, how do we sustain the “righteous” state without making it our Kingdom maker?

Many of those struggling beside these Christians, however, were struggling for advantaged power. They knew God no more than the Muslims did. But they knew the shibboleths of “Christian” power and used that language to “justify” earthly power for themselves.

England had already established some checks on Royal power long before the Catholic Kings arrived. Had they not, perhaps the Catholic Kings could have succeeded in brutalizing their god onto the English people. But that habit of checking Royal power created in the English a sense of entitlement to do so.

Even when Cromwell’s Major Generals and mad parliaments attempted to impose their god on the English people, they failed to change the fundamental protestant culture of the English, who continued to chafe at the bit of a hard master, be he Catholic or Puritan.

I see in the factions unclean hands, men and women who perverted their own gods to serve expediency and satiate fear. Yet somehow, the now-British would find themselves with more liberties than ever, far more, I would surmise, than anyone in 1650 would have wanted.

This is because, I theorize, amongst the killers and the self-servers were true men and women of God wrestling with His will for their state, their nation, and their own personal lives. This is the story of the state throughout history, a battle between servants and masters, both using the same vehicle of power, but for radically different ends.

The plumbline for servant and master is imprecise, and thus no guaranteed filter can be applied that can keep the master out of the state.

For America, the heart of the people is not Christ, and Protestantism has become, in many denominations, more like Islam, Catholicism, and Progressivism. It is difficult to tell how many God-fearing Protestant Americans are left in this country. I fear that number is far less than even 50% today.

Protestantism’s vestigial hold on institutions long taken over by progressives is nearly gone. Large percentages of today’s youth may be completely outside even the cultural Protestantism that allowed non-Protestants to “inherit” these values, individual sinner, repentance that leads to full restoration, and individual self-stewardship of one’s beliefs.

America has been going through a top-down imposition by a colonizer virus, progressivism, and it brought Islamism with it. Without a “Protestant” spirit consensually in the hearts of the people now attempting to govern this land, we cannot hope to do what England did.

They withstood a 60-year assault by a colonizing virus that was anathema to their governing standards. They not only withstood it, but they also came out stronger than they were when they started.

We can only hope for such an outcome.

I do believe there are significant territories within these lands that hold a majority of people with this “Protestant” sprit, and that alone will prevent the Progressives from doing anything more than balkanizing this land. But I do not believe we are equipped to repel our colonizing virus, the one that has been infesting this land for more than 100 years. Yet with God, all things are possible.

Only prayer can save us now.

1689 England had created a new model to allow for cheerful givers that yet assured their nation was one whose God is the Lord. Whether they were right or wrong, the prevailing spirit that created this new state was genuinely wresting with God, not seeking to impose their customized god on others.

I believe even if the ones in power, William and Mary, were masters and not servants, the prevailing spirit of the land was such that even the masters dared not use state power to impose on the people that which they did not want. This is how America came into being as well.

The masters were satisfied to have their limited power, which was better than no power at all.

So, England began the 18th century with a new model for righteous state governance whose God is the Lord, and I believe that this was despite the masters who inevitably head the state, not because of them. The “Protestant” spirit had compelled the state to conform with their reality of power, despite the state’s wishes for more (always more).

Now, the engine being built through this “Protestant” spirit was about to colonize the world, and through that it would ultimately lose the spirit that gave it that power in the first place.

But that’s another story…
