9/11: Still a Mystery

Writes Bill Madden:

There are too many professionals like test, corporate and airline pilots, architects, structural engineers et al. claiming that important aspects of the 9/11 event could not possibly have happened as theorized by the 9/11 Commission.  The book: “Solving 9-11” by Christopher Bollyn documents a serious connection between the Israelis, the Mossad and 9/11.

If Israel were created to help our rulers conquer the world, 9/11 certainly could be a major factor.

Hi Lew,

Mr. Kramer makes the mistake of equating money with happiness. And chemotherapy being less vomit-prone? Jeez, if you have cancer, you are in for a tough time anytime.

Happiness is subjective. I was happier in the 1950s to 1990s, even though I was poor. Now, I have money, but liberty is dying. Society is dying. Human interaction is dying. This world from 2001 on sucks! 

Money isn’t happiness.

Recruiting New Spies Via Internet – Genius Decision or Lost Cause

Writes, Martin Averick:

It’s no secret that almost every state conducts intelligence both at home and abroad. However, if several decades ago this activity was in the sidelines, the emergence and development of the Internet and information technologies lifted the veil on espionage and empowered intelligence with new, although sometimes controversial, capabilities.

Thus, on September 19, 2025, the United Kingdom’s spy agency launched a web portal on the dark web to recruit informants and receive secret data from agents worldwide. The portal created by MI6 builds on a similar approach taken by the US Central Intelligence Agency that published videos on social media to target potential spies in 2023. Despite the decision to use the web space in such a specific sphere seems to be rather doubtful, it is likely to be reasoned by the fact that in online space the young generation can be influenced most effectively. Moreover, taking into account close interaction between the spy agencies of the USA and the UK, the launch of the web portal by the latter can serve as a confirmation that the US recruiting campaign in 2023 proved to be successful.

In recent days the usage of web resources has been noted not only among the states, whose spy agencies’ names are in the public eye of the world community. Thus, on September 10, 2025, the video targeted at recruiting new spies was released by South Korea’s most secretive military intelligence unit, the Korea Defense Intelligence Command (KDIC), whose servicemen carry out missions foremost abroad. Using the tactic similar to the one of the US and the UK, KDIC is probably trying to compensate for the staff shortage caused by its unsuccessful activity abroad, which resulted in Russia and the USA.

Taking into account modern trends, recruiting new spies via internet can become either a genius decision or a lost cause. Data collection with the help of web portals will definitely speed up obtaining intelligence information from the sources, however, free access to these portals will ramp up the number of messages drastically. That is why to distinguish valuable data from fakes will be a rather difficult and time-consuming task.

John Stossel: The myth of the good old days

Johnny Kramer wrote:

It’s funny that this should pop up on my feed tonight, because earlier tonight another video popped up of people shopping at Sears in 1982, and the old people in the comments who could remember that time were going on and on about how much better “everything” was back then and how they wish they could go back.

I saw microwaves for $399; I just looked and that’s about $1,340 today. I bought my current microwave a couple of years ago for $80 — less than 6% of that.

(As another, much more important example, I had no nausea during my chemo last year; some of the older nurses told me that as recently as the late 1990s, people were often puking DURING the treatment!

(And that protocol was only developed in 1974; if my condition happened to me before then, I wouldn’t even be here now to type this.)

Of course we still have plenty of problems today, and I hate almost everything about smartphones and the way people dress today compared to the past.

Hayek for the 21st Century: Get Your Free Copy Today!

Writes Bill Madden:

This organization, www.mises.org, promotes non-interventionist economic thought.  Because interventionist economics like Keynesian Economics allows our super-rich controllers to more easily loot the masses by having their minions, our politicians, intervene on their behalf in the economy, Keynesian Economics is taught in our universities and is used by the governments of most countries.

We have a managed economy which is subject to mismanagement for the benefit of our controllers.  They help the politicians become millionaires and the politicians help the controllers become billionaires. 

Our economy is predicated on waste and defense spending is very wasteful.  So we have many wars that we fight and/or bankroll for a proxy.  Because we don’t or won’t see the waste, we pay for it in dollars and blood.

Tariffs

Writes Pluto9999:

Hi Lew

The faux libertarians supporting the unpredictable, expensive, war-inducing, and economy-destroying tariffs would do well to heed Von Mises insight:

“What generates war is the economic philosophy of nationalism: embargoes, trade and foreign exchange controls, monetary devaluation, etc. The philosophy of protectionism is a philosophy of war.”

Trump has been and will always be a war president.  He wouldn’t stop the bloodshed in Afghanistan, and will not work to stop the bloodshed in Ukraine, Gaza, Africa, and elsewhere where the USA military subsidies continue.  His tariffs are simply war on the citizens of the USA, and on citizens of the world.

The Income Tax

JC wrote:

Taxation is an attribute of Sovereignty. That over which the taxation agent is not sovereign is not an acceptable object to tax. A State cannot tax any federal property nor charge a sales tax for federal purchases. [immune is the word used].

Article IV, Section 4, of the Constitution requires the federal government to “guarantee” a “Republican” form of government to the Sovereign Citizens. The Preamble affirms that mandate. The clause of “Liberty” in the Fifth Amendment has been adjudicated to include the “Right to Pursue a Livelihood” as a Constitutional asset. Such Rights are not subject to taxation or conditions.

The 16th Amendment is written to remove the condition of an excise tax [income tax] to be conditioned upon a privilege being received by the taxed object [Sovereign Citizen]. Basic core Constitutional values cannot be negated by amendment. The 16th Amendment is an effort to overthrow a Constitutional Right to Sovereignty. It is a coup. Enforcement of a coup would be treason. The Amendment cannot be enforced.

PAYCON and the FBI’s Sensitive Informant Program

Writes, Jesse Trentadue:

Patel’s sudden crackdown on FBI agents who spied on Republicans is laughable. For decades, Grassley and the judiciary committee have known about PATCON but chose to  ignore it.  As a consequence, you have Artic Frost, the Whitmer Kidnapping Plot and lord knows how many other similar events that were orchestrated by the DOJ/FBI?

For many years, Grassley and the judiciary committee have known about the Bureau’s Sensitive Informant Program designed to place informants in the media, on staffs of federal judges and members of Congress, the Whitehouse and within other federal agencies, but ignored it.

Now, however, when it is the Republican Senators’ ox that is being gored it is a very big deal.  But when it was the ordinary American who was being abused by the DOJ/FBI, Grassley and the other hypocrites in Congress did not give a damn.

Putin Explains The Fall Of The American Empire

Writes Bill Madden

It’s difficult to call the turning point when the empire stopped growing, leveled off and then began contracting or, in our case, imploding.  The confluence of two major factors was, I feel, the beginning of the end for our country.  The late 1960s was close to the end of the post-war boom that made the USA such a great place to live domestically and a world leader internationally.  In 1965, we were about 90% European ancestry and our controllers felt that we were too White for easy control on their part.  So, we had the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act which drastically reduced White immigration and increased immigration of poor, uneducated people from mostly third-world countries.

In 1965, the few people who realized what was going on claimed that such a stupid immigration policy was bad for the country.  Time has proven them correct.

The Complete Innocence of Lee Harvey Oswald

Robert Morrow wrote:

Howdy Folks,

Here is a good thread at the Education Forum that has good information on the complete innocence of Lee Harvey Oswald in the shooting of JFK, the shooting of John Conally, the murder of Officer J.D. Tippit, the attempted shooting of Gen. Edwin Walker on the night of April 10, 1963.

What is the best and most concise evidence that Lee Harvey Oswald was framed? – JFK Assassination Debate – The Education Forum

A murdered Oswald got posthumously framed for all of that in the wake of the JFK assassination. I personally think Lyndon Johnson murdered both JFK and then two days later Lee Harvey Oswald using his Dallas connections to procure Jack Ruby for the dirty deed.

DC-3s flying in the Amazon

Writes Tim McGraw :

This is a good video. It shows how radial engine maintenance is done in the Amazon. I helped do a twin-engine change on a DC-3 in the US Virgin Islands in 1983. We used the same old WWII lifting cranes. The engines and propellers are fairly easy to remove and install. It’s the engine overhauls that are expensive. To do it right by overhauling the engine, replacing all the hoses and accessories, with overhauled propellers, is about $250,000 for both engines. It could be more.

The flight time between overhauls is probably about the same as for the Pratt & Whitney R-985, which is 1600 flight hours. My guess is that these DC-3s fly their engines and propellers until something breaks, then they fix it, and fly it until something else breaks. It’s a risky way to fly, but it’s cheaper than a total overhaul.

Flying on these DC-3s over the Amazon is very risky business.

And yes, you have to watch out for the kids around the airplane.

Here’s Proof that the World has gone Mad

Writes Patrick Foy:

I came to the conclusion that the world had gone mad decades ago. What else is new? I guess it is only now becoming apparent to the average observer. 

BTW, President “America First” Trump has turned over TikTok to Billionare Israel First influencers. In the meantime, Israel continues its campaign of genocide in Gaza and on the West Bank, as Europe and America stand by and watch. Everything will become clear, as Netanyahu predicted years ago. How clearer could it get that the U.S. of A. has been hijacked? It was your country.

Latest with MacGregor on Looming Wars

Writes Transportphenomena:

I very rarely watch political YouTubes, primarily because they’re almost always way too long, and also don’t contain anything that I can’t get through written source material, which I can read about 100 times more quickly than I can watch a video. But …

There are certainly exceptions, and Col. Douglas MacGregor perhaps most of all. In a segment of one of the videos below they discuss a paper that MacGregor wrote, at the request of RFKJ, who in turn gave it to Trump, which was eventually read by a number of WH staff, including Hegseth — and somewhat misunderstood or misapplied.

 The two videos, each of which (I believe) are about 55 minutes long. Throughout both (with very different emphases in each), they discuss the looming wars in Israel (finishing the extermination of the Palestinians, and instigating war with Iran), Russia (ultimate goal being regime change) … and oh! – let’s not forget about invading Venezuela!

FBI Cuts All Ties With ADL, Calling It ‘Political Front’ Disguised As A Watchdog

Brian Dunaway wrote:

Next: How About the SPLC!

Arguably worse than the ADL is the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). It’s sickening that anyone listens to these charlatans – it’s bad enough that the entirety of the MSM has been using them as a source for decades, but the law enforcement community!?

From what I can gather, the FBI has used the SPLC as a source for many years but does not hold them in very high regard. Nevertheless, after stating more than once they would no longer consider them a source, the boys in the Bureau can’t seem to kick the habit.

As recently as Oct 2023, US Senators Lankford and Grassley sent a letter to the FBI, asking for them to, at long last, cut all ties. The letter stated that “The SPLC is an extremely biased and unreliable source that classifies organizations as ‘hate groups’ if they promote traditional conservative values. Their website features a ‘hate map’ that shows the location of these hate groups. Users of the website can filter the hate map to single out hate groups. These filters include ‘Christian Identity’ and ‘Radical Traditional Catholicism.’ The FBI should not lend credibility to an organization that labels traditional values as ‘hate.’”

During a Sep 2025 House Judiciary Committee hearing, Patel acknowledged a complaint from Rep. Chip Roy regarding this hate map.

The time has come, Mr. Patel!

Intueas: Why are Spiritually Awakened People Leaving Society?

Intueas keeps repeating himself. Intueas isn’t aware of his audience, and he doesn’t respect their intelligence. He keeps hitting the same nail with a sledgehammer.

Still, the video has some good points. There are energy vampires out there. It is very difficult for me to be in crowds and around people. But I have no intention of going back to the collective to save it or pave the way for it. I can handle people in ones and twos. 

It’s an interesting video. The narrator is right. More and more, especially since the Covid lockdowns, people are retreating from society. Social media is losing its appeal. So are podcasts, and political videos. It’s all a show. A show of mass delusions.
