The games we play... Video from the Armed Services hearing for Austin Dahmer's nomination as Assistant Sec. of Defense for Strategy, Plans, and Capabilities. These long mostly boring rarely, if ever even get a mention in the mainstream press, sometimes has some revealing gems.

During his testimony he confirms several facts including:

1. The US never "paused" military aid to Ukraine. (@40:20 & asked again @2:21:20)

2. The US is NOT withdrawing from Europe, simply forcing Europe to spend more on US objectives in the region through "burden sharing" or "division of labor" per Pete Hegseth orders back in February. (@44:40 / @59:10)

3. The US is not "retreating" to the Western hemisphere and abandoning its containment of China - containing China remains Washington/Wall Street's TOP priority. (1:05:25)

Full video

I guess this is reality on foreign policy, regardless of what "Politico" or lying politicians and naive/delusional/dishonest "analysts" say - continuity of agenda drives US policy, the US will never accept multipolarism unless multipolarism forces it to do so.

Quote:November 5, 2025 / Joseph P. Farrell

In my opinion, there can be no doubt that the covert hot wars are in full swing. One need only think of the Trump administration's naval strikes against alleged Venezuelan drug-running boats. We're supposed to be all-in "O.K." with this, because after all, we're being protected from drugs and evil cartels. And don't get me wrong: that's a good thing. Those Latin American cartels are nasty, and they're in bed with some very nasty regimes, both on their own continent, and across various "ponds".  But by the same token, we're supposed to just "trust" that our "intelligence" is accurate, and that their is not a minim of impure motivation or intention on the part of our incorrupt government.  Trust us. We know what we're doing. Follow The Science. Follow the Intelligence Intercepts. The Tacoma Narrows Bridge is entirely safe and we built it for a mere six million dollars. We have all the evidence. It's clear. There was no conspiracy in Lincoln's Kennedy's murder. The financial system is sound. 9/11 had absolutely no help from inside the goobernment. Our intelligence on those drug boats is crystal clear. But we just can't share it because it would reveal methods, and that's national security.

Trust us.

Well, all of this is Prelude to the following story shared by E.E., and in relation to a blog I composed here:

KYLE BASS SOUNDS ALARM ON THAT MUNITIONS PLANT EXPLOSION


In that blog, I reached the following conclusion:

Quote:Placed in the context of my earlier blogs about similar events, however, this recent event could be viewed as part of a much larger picture, one of a covert hot war taking place, with the earlier explosions at Russian, Chinese, British, German, Iranian, and French facilities as the manifestations of that war.   If the earlier pattern of those events - Russian and Chinese explosions followed by French, British, and German  "incidents" - then we may reasonably assume that there will be some retaliation for this event against whomever the American investigators determine was behind it, and rest assured, if Kyle Bass can think of it, the Department of Defense's investigators already have, and are pursuing it. They will not make any announcements, however.  But if plants in China or Russia suddenly explode in a few weeks or months, we may reasonably assume that it might not be another unfortunate accident. (Emphasis added)

Prompted by this conclusion, E.E. spotted and shared the following article (with our gratitude):

Mystery Blast At Russian Artillery Ammo Plant Results In 23 Dead

Notice that the explosion occurred within a matter of a couple of weeks after the Tennessee plant explosion, that, like the incident in Tennessee, it leveled the plant, and caused deaths among the workers. Note too that the Russian authorities are ruling out that it was the result of a drone attack, which leaves two basic possibilities (1) an accident, which is certainly a plausible explanation, or (2) sabotage, and therefore, the result of covert action and operation. By itself, one would lean toward an accident. But given the pattern of such accidents over the past few years, a pattern approaching over a decade of such incidents, I simply have difficult believing that there is that much incompetence in the munitions and chemical industries of the world. There may indeed be incompetence involved in the accidents in plants in the West, and such incompetence is understandable given the state of the quackademy in western countries and the stupid people they're churning out. But Russia and China - and particularly Russia - do not have nearly the same institutionalized quackademic mess as does the West. More importantly, the number of such events over the past few years would seem to imply that some of them, at least, are not merely the result of accident.

But while you're contemplating the possibility that my own blog's prediction was quickly born out by reality, consider also this article, also spotted and shared by E.E. (again, with our gratitude):

Explosion at New Mexico oil refinery sends thick smoke across Artesia

Note that this article about the oil refinery explosion occurred a mere day after the Russian munitions plant explosion. While there is absolutely no evidence that suggests this explosion was anything other than an accident, there is, as of this writing, no evidence to suggest that it was not. what does remain is that Russian munitions plant explosion, and here I am increasingly of the opinion that we're watching a genuine covert war, one that has been going on for some time, taking place.

After all, one is an accident, two is an unfortunate coincidence, and three or more is a pattern...

See you on the flip side...

I allways had bad feeling about freemasons , their whole secrecy and inner circle club ....Yikes!


Since i am not in their club , i can only point out an opinion/view from other people with some historical relationship in the freemasons .


Dr. Bill Schneobelen: Freemasonry and Islam

Quote:Few realise the historical and current connections between Freemasonry and Islam.  In his Book ‘Masonry: Beyond the Light’, Dr. Bill Schnoebelen describes the most obvious connection between the two religions: the Shriners.

Quote:Last week, we published an article highlighting an interview with Dr. William (“Bill”) Schnoebelen, a former 33rd degree Mason, on the Almost False podcast.  During this interview, Dr. Shnoebelen mentioned a book he had written titled ‘Masonry: Beyond the Light’.

In the book, which is an important exposé for both Freemasons and non-Freemasons alike, he demonstrates the historical occult roots of Masonry in fertility cults and Illuminism.  He provides the history of the Masonic Lodge and its connection to Rosicrucianism, the Knights Templar and the Illuminati. Using God’s written word, the Christian Bible, Dr. Schnoebelen proves how the Lodge violates God’s commandments.  The book culminates in showing how Masons can be set free from Masonry’s dark bondage.

Dr. Schnoebelen’s book also describes the connections between Islam and Freemasonry. “Throughout this book, there have been allusions to the frequent historical links between the Muslim religion and the origins of Masonry. The most obvious connection with Islam in the world of the Lodge is, of course, the Shrine. Most don’t know that the actual title of the Shriner organisation is the ‘Ancient Arabic Order, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine.” Arabic Order, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine’,” he wrote.

In June, we published an article ‘Who controls the Muslim Brotherhood?’  As part of our investigation, we highlighted a lecture given by Walter Veith in 2004.  In the section of the article titled ‘Islamic Connection to the Vatican’,  we summarised Veith’s lecture.  “In addition to the symbolism and rituals, Catholic and Islamic insiders have an infamous organisation in common: Freemasonry.  Freemasons of the highest order – 32nd Degree in the Scottish Rite and 29th Degree in the York Rite – can become Shriners, Veith said.  The Shriners are an Arabic Order,” we wrote.

Quoting from James Shaw’s 1988 book ‘The Deadly Deception’, Veith pointed out that “the Shrine” used by Shriners is a shrine to Allah.  Before converting to Christianity, Shaw was a 33rd-degree Mason in the Scottish Rite.  Speaking of the ritual performed to initiate him into the Shiners, Shaw said, “With the Koran on the altar, we sealed our solemn oath in the name of ‘Allah, the God of Arab, Moslem and Mohammedan, the God of our fathers’.”

Shaw was recounting his personal experience.  In ‘Masonry: Beyond the Light’, Dr Schnoebelen does the same, but also includes his personal research both during his time as a Mason and afterwards.  It is interesting, then, that Dr. Schnoebelen gives a similar view to Shaw.  There is no indication that the two men have collaborated, and so we have two independent witnesses who are corroborating each other.

The following is what Dr. Schnoebelen wrote in his Book ‘Masonry: Beyond the Light’.  As can be seen from the diagram below, “the Shrine” sits above the York and Scottish Rites in the Masonic hierarchy.

Quote:The Islam Connection

Throughout this book, there have been allusions to the frequent historical links between the Muslim religion and the origins of Masonry. The most obvious connection with Islam in the world of the Lodge is, of course, the Shrine. Most don’t know that the actual title of the Shriner organisation is the “Ancient Arabic Order, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine.”

Not only is the Shrine openly evocative of Arab culture, but the “shrine” is actually the sacred shrine of Islam, the Kaaba in Mecca! Few outsiders realise that behind its exotic, clownish exterior, the Shrine ceremonial is steeped in demonic Islamic religion, utterly foreign to the God of the Bible! For example, the Shrine initiate must swear the usual awful oath on the holy book of the Islamic faith, the Koran, in addition to the Bible, ending thus:

…and may Allah, the god of Arab, Moslem and Mohammedan, the God of our Fathers, support me to the entire fulfilment of the same, Amen, Amen, Amen. (Shrine Ritual Monitor, Allen Publishing, pp. 35-39)

The Shriner is swearing in the name of Allah. Contrary to popular belief, the Islamic Allah is not just another name for the true God. He has no more resemblance to the God of the Bible than does the “Great Architect.”

History shows that before the “prophet” Muhammed elevated Allah to special status, he was essentially a second-rate little rock of an idol inside the pagan shrine, the Kaaba. He was one of a crowd of some 365 little “rocks” in there, and was the tribal god of Muhammed’s tribe, the Quraish.

Yet today, this “rock” is worshipped by 600 million Muslims! Like any other idol, there is a demon behind it! (Leviticus 17:7, Deuteronomy 32:16-17). That demon draws energy from being worshipped for his master, Satan! It is certain that this “Allah” draws a great deal of foul satisfaction from watching good “Christian” men kneel down and swear allegiance to him!

The Muslim denies the deity of Jesus Christ and His resurrection, to say nothing of the gospel of grace. Islam denies all the cardinal fundamentals of the Christian faith. You cannot be a faithful Christian and call Allah the “God of our fathers!” The Shriner is calling a demon named “Allah” his god!

Celestial Prostitutes
People often marvel at the high level of immorality which surrounds Shrine conventions. One of my female friends was highly offended when I told her I was joining the Shrine. She told me that whenever the Shriners were in town, she was continually harassed, and even physically accosted in an improper manner by them.

Shriners are exhorted to regard their red Fez as an analogue to the [Masons’] white apron and to never do anything while wearing it that would bring shame to their mothers. They either have very strange mothers, or their consciences have been completely numbed!

By submitting to the god of Islam, they have come under the power of a religion that has a strange view of the afterlife. Both in this life and in the next, women are viewed as property. Most people know that Muslims are polygamous, and that Islamic women in strict Muslim nations have virtually no rights. They must be covered from head to toe, and are basically treated as if they have no souls or identity of their own.

In the Islamic paradise, the men are waited on by houris-beautiful, angelic women. These women are mindless and exist only to serve the sexual needs of the Islamic “saints.” They are basically celestial prostitutes! If this Islamic spirit has come upon the Shrine “Nobles,” no wonder they behave like over sexed adolescents in these conventions.

In the “Jesters” club, an elite group within the Shrine, women have reported to us that their husbands abused them physically and sexually and even share them with other Jesters, like a wife-swapping club. If this is true in the larger Order, it could explain the horrible Islamic attitude toward women which basically regards them as objects.

With or without the immorality, the Islamic powers which loom over the Shrine should make it a place any Christian would flee.

Quote:The red Fez itself, associated with the Shrine, is actually an article of ceremonial attire among Moroccan Muslims. Its colour is said to reflect the fact that centuries ago, Islamic armies invaded Fez and slaughtered thousands of Christians who resided there. The blood of Christian martyrs ran in the streets, and the Islamic “holy” warriors dipped their headgear in the blood and dyed them scarlet. Thus, the Fez is a commemoration of the murder of thousands of Christians! No wonder Satan smiles when Christians wear it proudly!

How is Jesus glorified by men who are supposedly His disciples riding around on funny little expensive motor cars in parades wearing evil red hats, while millions of people have never heard about the good news of salvation through the cross?

I’m not trying to be a spoil-sport here, and I like a good time as much as the next guy. However, this should be done only after your spiritual obligations have been met! It is estimated that the average Christian in the US gives 3 cents a day to missions. That is certainly less than the typical Shriner spends on his activities! Every missiologist I have read would agree that the US is far behind in its support of foreign missions. We are nowhere near being tithe-payers!

I’m not trying to be a legalist. We are not saved by tithing. However, if the vast majority of Christian men aren’t paying a full tithe, (and they are not) there is something wrong. This is literally draining millions of dollars a year out of the church at a time when many Godly missionary organisations (both church and parachurch) are barely able to keep afloat! What a fine trick on the church by Satan!

A catastrophe is unfolding in the strategic city of Pokrovsk, where thousands of Ukrainian soldiers are encircled. However, the media downplays the situation to maintain public support for the war as some Europeans might start calling for a return to diplomacy. Can't have that!



Stanislav Krapivnik: Dangerous Endgame in the NATO-Russia Proxy War

Stanislav Krapivnik is a former US Army officer, supply chain exec and military-political expert, now living in Russia. He was born in Lugansk during the Soviet times, migrated to the US as a child and served in the US Army. Krapivnik discusses the different misunderstandings between the West and Russia, and why further escalations will likely result in a much more powerful Russian response.

A whole different perspective you won't hear about in the mainstream. Highly recommended...

Has anyone here been playing with cryptocurrency tokens? 

If so, do you have any advice?

Quote:Meet Khutulun - the Mongol warrior princess who terrified men on and off the battlefield. In the 13th century, while European princesses were locked in towers waiting for rescue, Khutulun was riding into battle alongside her father, leading cavalry charges, and earning a reputation as one of the most formidable warriors in the Mongol Empire. Marco Polo himself wrote about her, describing a woman so skilled in combat that her father wanted to make her his successor over all his sons. But here's where her story gets incredible: Khutulun refused every marriage proposal unless the suitor could defeat her in wrestling. Mongol wrestling wasn't ceremonial - it was brutal, full-contact combat that tested strength, strategy, and endurance. Princes, warriors, and nobles came from across Asia to try their luck. They bet horses on their ability to beat her. She never lost. Not once. The horses she won became a massive herd - a symbol of her dominance and a fortune in Mongol society. But it also became a problem. Her unmarried status threatened political alliances. Rival factions whispered that her independence would destroy the empire. The pressure mounted until even her father, who adored her military genius, begged her to choose a husband. What happened next reveals everything about who Khutulun really was - and why her story matters today.

Quote:Surely you’ve noticed in recent years just how gruesome the Halloween townscape has become with our competitive yard displays of giant skeletons, shrieking ghouls, corpses seeming to emerge from the crabgrass, and miscellaneous body parts strewn about the property. The symbolism seems pretty overt: America yearns to become a death cult.

The world has seen this before and it generally doesn’t end well. Something in their equivalent of the zeitgeist drove the Aztecs to sharply ramp-up the scale of their human sacrifices in the years just before Hernán Cortés came to their capital city, Tenochtitlán. Bernal Diaz, a foot-soldier in Cortés’s legion, later wrote:

Quote:“I remember that they had in a plaza, where there were some shrines, so many places of dead skulls, which could be counted, according to the concert as they were set, that when they appeared they would be more than one hundred thousand; and I say again about one hundred thousand. And in another part of the square were as many rows of bones without meat, bones of the dead, that could not be counted; and they had in many beams many heads hanging from one part to another. And keeping those bones and skulls were three priests, who, as we understood, were in charge of them. . . . “

Cortés had arrived in Mexico in April of 1519 with an expeditionary force of about 500 soldiers and by August of 1521, it was all over. He defeated the empire of a million Aztecs and commenced the systematic demolition of their monuments, including the horrifying great rack-of-skulls (tzompantli) where they displayed their thousands of trophies.



Something — more precisely, some cabal of somebodies — is attempting to systematically demolish the social scaffold of our country now. It can’t just be the Soros network of NGOs. The best we can do to identify the central animating agent is the Deep State or Blob, a malignancy within our own organs of national management. It’s shaping up as a kind of American Armageddon, a battle between the forces of darkness and light, death and life. The battle has been going on for at least ten years, since Mr. Trump invaded the body politic — rather like when Cortés entered Mexico and set off a chain of events that ended the cruel and despotic culture embedded there. We’re acting out something along those lines now.

The death cult is vividly on display in our time and place. Minneapolis is poised to elect the skeletal-looking Somali Omar Fateh as its next mayor. The once-emblematic city of Garrison Keillor’s “above average,” relentlessly “nice” prairie folk was wrecked in 2020 in tribute to BLM’s patron saint, George Floyd, and has never recovered, written off as a national sacrifice zone for the sake of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Omar Fateh styles himself as a “Democratic Socialist.” This is the next new thing.



Likewise, New York City is about to elevate the Ugandan Marxist Jihadi (and self-styled Democratic Socialist) Zohran Mamdani into the top job at city hall. As usual with this brand of insurrectionists — that is, persons bent on destroying our society — the label is yet another language game meant to scramble your brain.

You have probably not failed to notice the incessant recital of the phrase “our democracy” by Democratic Party field marshals starting with “Joe Biden” in the final months of his, uh, late performance. “Our democracy” has nothing to do, really, with citizen participation in governance. The phrase is a cover for their desperate power-seeking — for instance, the “nomination” of Kamala Harris with zero democratic voting procedure — in the service of preserving a vast empire of rackets that siphon taxpayer dollars into multitudinous NGOs and countless government programs that provide jobs and free stuff to an ever-growing class of parasitic dependents in the party’s thrall.

So, the next ploy upcoming will be the sequel to the “No Kings” demos of recent months: “The Fall of the Trump Fascist Regime” mass protest event planned for Washington, DC, on November 5, following election day. The stated idea is to surround the White House with millions of shrieking “Resistance” warriors to exorcise President Trump. The unstated idea is to provoke the president to invoke the Insurrection Act and thus, supposedly, demonstrate that he is a tyrant to their satisfaction.

More likely, if things get out of hand and violence erupts, the Resistance warriors and their Antifa shock troops — sure to be on-hand — will only prove that they are the actual insurrectionists. In which case, this time, expect arrests and indictments of the folks behind the extravaganza, with the prospect of pretty harsh penalties. (Are you listening, Norm Eisen, Mary McCord, and friends?)

Meanwhile, the emerging scandal around the “Arctic Frost” scheme executed under “Joe Biden’s” DOJ to harass and persecute his admin’s political adversaries, takes shape as “worse than Watergate,” in the words of Senate Judiciary Committee chair Charles Grassley. Fresh evidence about this nefarious activity only reinforces the developing seditious conspiracy case that will be prosecuted out of the Southern District of Florida encompassing the entirety of treasonous acts from RussiaGate forward amounting to a long-running coup that never did manage to succeed, no matter how they keep at it.

You know the names of most of the major players involved, and ever more members of the supporting cast, lodged in the Deep State, are being revealed daily. Think of them when you see the ghouls and skeletons on display in America’s yards this Halloween eve.

More idiots in positions of authority. The Los Angeles Times is reporting that firefighters were ordered to leave a smoldering brush fire days before it reignited... Big winds came and big fire to follow ! https://www.latimes.com/california/story...-burn-site

Quote:

• Firefighters alerted a battalion chief that areas of a New Year’s Day fire in Pacific Palisades, known as the Lachman fire, were still smoldering the next day, according to text messages.
  
• The firefighters were ordered to pack up and leave anyway, instead of monitoring the burn area for reignitions.
  
• Federal authorities say the blaze reignited on Jan. 7, destroying thousands of homes and killing 12 people.
  

Firefighters mopping up a small brush fire that authorities say reignited as the Palisades fire five days later were ordered to leave the original burn scene even though they complained the ground was still smoldering and rocks remained hot to the touch, according to firefighter text messages reviewed by The Times.
To the firefighters’ surprise, their battalion chief ordered them to roll up their hoses and pull out of the area on Jan. 2 — the day after the 8-acre blaze was declared contained — rather than stay and make sure there were no hidden embers that could spark a new fire, the text messages said.
On the morning of Jan. 7, according to federal authorities, strong winds stoked the remnants of the New Year’s Day blaze into the firestorm that killed 12 people and destroyed thousands of homes in Pacific Palisades, Malibu and Topanga.

In one text message, a firefighter who was at the scene on Jan. 2 wrote that the battalion chief had been told it was a “bad idea” to leave the burn scar unprotected because of the visible signs of smoldering terrain. “And the rest is history,” the firefighter wrote in recent weeks.
The text exchanges among three firefighters and a third party provide previously undisclosed details about the Los Angeles Fire Department’s handling of the Lachman fire, which federal investigators say was deliberately set and had burned underground in a canyon root system until the winds rekindled it. The third party ask

Quote:A lesbian Canadian couple tortured a 12-year-old boy until he shrunk and died as a family doctor and social worker failed to save him from the horror, a court heard.

The child, only identified as LL, had stopped growing and even got shorter than he was a year before he died on December 21, 2022, while in the care of Brandy Cooney and Becky Hamber.
He was found soaking wet, unresponsive and emaciated in the basement of the couple's home before being rushed to the hospital where he later died. 

LL and his brother, identified as JL, started living with the couple in their Ontario home in 2017 after being moved from a foster home in Ottawa. 
They had planned on adopting the Indigenous brothers, who were still wards of the Children's Aid Society (CAS) at the time of LL's death, but the adoption was never finalized, CBC reported.
