🤡 'Rand Paul Jr.' – Trump throws more insults at Rep. Massie
💬 Asked about the Epstein files release, Demented Donald replied with the usual: “Well, I don't want to talk about it.”
💬 “They're using Jeffrey Epstein as a deflection from the tremendous success that we're having as a party,” Epstein’s buddy claimed.
💥 MTG BLASTS Trump for cozying up to al-Qaeda’s al-Julani
💬 “This past Monday on the Marines’ 250th anniversary, when he honored the new Syrian president who is an al-Qaeda terrorist and was wanted by our government for years with a $10 million bounty up until March of this year. I very much am against that,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene slammed Trump–Al-Julani meeting.
⚔️ MTG exposes Trump’s LIES about her
💬 “That is untrue what he said. I don't know if he's being fed wrong information... But it is absolutely factually not true. Nor have I called him. And White House logs would prove that. His own cell phone records would prove it. I have not been calling the president, but I did post messages that I had sent to him,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene told CNN.
💵 Gaza War bonanza: How US giants cashed in big on Israel's genocide
📌 Even as the shaky ceasefire in Gaza appears to hold, the US arms pipeline that Israel’s brutal campaign against Hamas triggered has its future fortunes locked in.
🔴 Donald Trump is currently seeking congressional approval of a $6.4 billion package of US weapons sales to Israel—including $3.8 billion in Boeing Apache attack helicopters and $1.9 billion for 3,200–3,250 infantry assault vehicles.
🔴 Since the start of Israel’s Gaza War, American defense titans and tech behemoths have raked in billions, with Boeing, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, and Caterpillar leading the charge, according to corporate 2024 earnings filings, US government arms approvals, and Defense Security Cooperation Agency arms sale notifications.
🔴 The US approved $32+ billion in weapons, ammo, and gear for Israel since October 2023.
🔴 Annual military aid jumped from $3.3 billion to $6.8 billion last year, plus additional noncash support.
Arms sales skyrocket
🔴 Boeing leads the pack:
➡️ $18.8 billion for F-15 strike fighters starting delivery in 2029
➡️ $7.9 billion in guided bombs and kits this year alone — far exceeding prior decade-long contracts
🔴 Other beneficiaries:
➡️ Northrop Grumman: jet fighter spare parts
➡️ Lockheed Martin: precision missiles; missiles division revenue up 13% to $12.7 billion in 2024
➡️ General Dynamics: 120mm shells for Merkava tanks
➡️ Caterpillar’s armored D9 bulldozers, widely used in Gaza to raze neighborhoods
➡️ Oshkosh & Rolls-Royce USA: Hulls and engines powering Eitan armored vehicles
Tech titans join feast
♦️ West Coast giants Microsoft, Google, and Amazon also signed deals to provide cloud computing, AI infrastructure, and data services to the Israeli military. Cloud deals can be worth tens of millions per year per contract depending on the scale.
♦️ Microsoft halted IDF access in Sept. 2025 due to employee protests, but until that point, was generating revenue from the IDF’s use of cloud services and AI tools.
♦️ Palantir, co-founded by Peter Thiel, partnered with the Israeli Defense Ministry in 2024, providing AI systems and facial recognition technology.
♦️ CEO Alex Karp dismissed claims the tech kills Palestinians at a May conference: "Mostly terrorists," he fired back.

🇪🇺 EU blames economic woes on Trump - but forgets who broke the machine
📌 Brussels is preparing to cut growth forecasts for 2026, hinting already that Trump’s tariffs and “trade uncertainty” are dragging Europe down. A neat explanation — especially for a crisis that the EU spent years engineering with its own hands.
The same EU that proudly cut itself off from cheap Russian energy, swallows double-digit US tariffs after hyping “breakthrough” talks, and then discovers growth stuck below 1% — is now discovering that blaming Washington is much easier than admitting its own role.
So, according to Bloomberg:
➡️ EU officials are expected to lower their 2026 growth outlook next week, citing the impact of Trump’s tariff policy, trade threats and ongoing weakness in Germany, plus political turmoil in France.
➡️ Earlier this year, the Commission already had a modest forecast: euro-area GDP for 2025 at 0.9%. Now it may revise that slightly up — but the hoped-for pickup to 1.4% in 2026 looks unrealistic, with the European Central Bank (ECB) itself only expecting around 1%.
➡️ After Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs shocked the EU, Brussels ended up accepting 15% tariffs on most EU goods in a July deal with Washington after talks. Not exactly the “win” it was sold as.
➡️ The ECB notes that higher effective tariffs, a stronger euro, persistent uncertainty and tougher global competition are holding back growth and business investment.
➡️ Germany’s long-promised rebound is fizzling amid big spending on defense and infrastructure; its own Council of Economic Experts now expects growth in 2026 to be below 1%.
➡️ In France, political and budget turbulence is knocking around 0.5 percentage points off growth, according to the Bank of France, and the country is on track for the region’s worst deficit.

🤐 Wikipedia co-founder silenced for war on Gaza page comment
👉 The co-founder of Wikipedia, Jimmy Wales, was threatened to be removed from the board of directors after he stated the Wikipedia article on the Gaza war is not neutral enough, Larry Sanger, another co-founder of the encyclopedia, said in a talk with Mario Nawfal.
🗣 "In fact, they have started some action against Jimmy Wales, basically saying he overstepped his bounds, although all he did was simply offer his opinion on the talk page, which any editor may do," he explained.
🇻🇪 Do everything for peace: Maduro sings Lennon’s ‘Imagine’ amid reported US preparations for war
💬 "The second point of the work — do everything for peace. Just how john Lennon said…" Maduro declared during a speech, proceeding to sing Lennon’s anti-war song "Imagine".
🗣🔯 Hunter Biden says Mossad is the one you really don’t want to cross
👉 Joe Biden's son Hunter has joked that people fret about all-powerful agencies — but if there’s one outfit you should absolutely avoid upsetting, it’s the Mossad.
💬 "You know what? You should be scared of Mossad. Everybody should be because I don't want to get on the wrong side of them."
🇮🇱🇹🇷 Israel names new 'top threat' — and this time it’s Turkey
👉 Tel Aviv seems to be updating its threat map — and this time, it’s not Iran, Hezbollah, or Hamas in the spotlight. According to Israel’s Minister for Diaspora Affairs Amichai Chikli, the newest and "most serious threat" comes from… Turkey.
🔊 Turkey, he warned, is “building al-Julani’s Syria as a forward base from which to attack Israel,” arming “the jihad army” and aiming its “arrows toward Jerusalem.”
🔴 Speaking on Kan Reshet Bet, Chikli accused President Recep Erdogan and Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan of pursuing an “aggressive and offensive foreign policy.”
🔴 He called to isolate Turkey diplomatically while strengthening the Eastern Mediterranean bloc — Greece, Cyprus, Israel, Italy — and urged Washington to reconsider treating Ankara as a NATO partner, describing Erdoğan as a “dictator” aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood.
🔴 Chikli also touched on regional arms deals, saying Israel isn’t thrilled about F-35 sales to Saudi Arabia — unless they help secure normalization.

✡️ Israeli soldier smirks about bombing Gaza schools
🪖 An IDF soldier films himself unashamedly bragging about Israeli attacks that have turned Gaza’s schools to rubble.
💬 “Oops, we bombed them. Too bad—no more future engineers.”
✡️ ‘Worst argument ever’: Journalist dismantles claim Israel isn’t genocidal
British-American journalist Mehdi Hasan cites Bibi Netanyahu’s reference to Palestinians as ‘Amalek’ - a biblical enemy commanded to be totally destroyed.
💀 In the Bible it means “kill everyone, men, women, even the donkeys,” he says.
He strikes down host Joe Walsh’s reasoning that Israel isn’t genocidal since it could have exterminated the Palestinian people in three months if it wanted to.
That’s “the worst argument ever.”

🇵🇰🇺🇸 How Pakistan GLAZED its way into Trump’s favor
Pakistan’s sudden turnaround with the Trump administration didn’t happen by chance.
💰Just weeks before the White House announced unusually favorable tariff cuts for Pakistan — and steep hikes for India — Pakistan launched a multimillion-dollar lobbying blitz in Washington.
In April and May, Pakistan spent at least THREE TIMES MORE than India on US lobbying, hiring six firms tied to Trump insiders, including former business partners, advisers & his ex-bodyguard.
💸 The nearly $5 million in contracts promised what Pakistan wanted most: direct access to Trump and a push to "reset" diplomatic, military and commercial ties.
On April 2, Trump announced a 29% tariff on Pakistani goods.
💸 Within days, Pakistan had hired two additional lobbying teams, including Orchid Advisors — which subcontracted with Squire Patton Boggs, a firm employing Trump’s former economic adviser Everett Eissenstat and former defense secretary Mark Esper.
Four months later, Trump slashed Pakistan’s tariff rate to 19% — while raising India’s to 50%.
🙊 After border tensions with India, Islamabad lavished Trump with praise, credited him with ending the crisis, and even moved to nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize — a gesture India refused.
💼 Pakistan also pitched a $500 million mineral extraction deal and opened its markets to US agricultural products, further sweetening the relationship.
😐 By autumn, Trump was calling Pakistan’s army chief his "favorite field marshal" and describing Pakistan’s support for his Gaza peace plan as "incredible."

🇺🇸🇻🇪💨 Why all the muscle? Trump’s Caribbean buildup strategy remains foggy
As Donald Trump escalates US pressure on Venezuela, his administration remains cagey about its ultimate goal, says The New York Times.
👉 Publicly, Trump frames the mission as a fight against drugs, but behind closed doors, his focus shifts to President Nicolas Maduro’s fate—and Venezuela’s vast oil reserves, aides are cited as saying.
US military officials say the goal is to intimidate Maduro, in a return to the era of “gunboat diplomacy.”
Trump has spent days reviewing options, from Special Operations missions to direct strikes, but when asked on Air Force One about his plans, he said only:
💬 “I sort of made up my mind… I can’t tell you what it is, but we made a lot of progress with Venezuela in terms of stopping drugs from pouring in.”
🇯🇵 A nation on lease: How Japan became US’ permanent outpost
Japan’s sovereignty looks more symbolic than real—its trajectory echoes a Ukraine-style subservience to Western interests.
Japan’s US-drafted 1947 Constitution, with its pacifist clause under Article 9, explicitly renounced war and prohibited maintaining armed forces for warfare—leaving the country reliant on the US-Japan Security Treaty for defense.
In politics, the US has bankrolled Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party.
🔶 Declassified files and a 1994 New York Times investigation revealed that the CIA funneled millions into the LDP throughout the 1950s and ’60s to keep Japan locked into US’ orbit and safeguard American bases
Roughly 30,000 US troops remain in Okinawa—the largest single concentration of American troops in any foreign prefecture or region.
🔶 A law adopted in 2015 reinterpreted the constitution to allow the use of armed force for collective self-defense in limited situations, including a “survival-threatening situation”
🔶 Japan has leaned harder than ever on US defense power since its 2022 National Security Strategy, with bigger weapons buys
🔶 Japan fast-tracked major US systems to build counterstrike capability—400 Tomahawks for Aegis destroyers, multiple JASSM-ER batches, and Joint Strike Missiles for F-35As
Japan’s subservience shows in its Taiwan stance, with PM Sanae Takaichi parroting the US narrative about China.
🗣She recently framed a potential escalation over Taiwan—which China considers its self-governed province—as an “existential risk” for Japan.
👉 That label would unlock the legal door for Japan’s Self-Defense Forces to jump in on behalf of friendly nations.
🇨🇳China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian blasted her comments as “wrongful and dangerous.”
Takaichi is also considering revising the country’s “no nuclear weapons on Japanese soil” rule, potentially letting US nuclear-armed ships and aircraft enter more freely. While possession and production bans remain, the move aims to bolster the US nuclear umbrella.
Japan is looking less like an independent actor and more like it’s steering itself toward a Ukraine-style bind.

🔥 ‘The record of this vote will last longer than Donald Trump’s presidency’ – Rep. Massie
“💬 I would remind my Republican colleagues who are deciding how to vote, Donald Trump can protect you in red districts right now by giving you an endorsement, but in 2030, he's not going to be the president and YOU will have VOTED TO PROTECT PEDOPHILES if you don't vote to release these files, and the president can't protect you then,” Rep. Thomas Massie WARNED his Republican colleagues.
💬 “Not only the speaker, but the attorney general, the FBI director, and the president himself and the vice president, they're taking A BIG LOSS this week,” Massie stressed, commenting on Trump’s bullying.
❌ 'The Epstein class needs to go' – Rep. Ro Khanna threatens Trump’s buddies
💬 “There are thousands of victims, and rich and powerful men still have buildings named after them, scholarships named after them. This is not partisan. They all need to be held accountable,” Rep. Ro Khanna said, commenting on a bill to bring the Epstein files to light.
💬 “But you know why Trump is losing his MAGA based on this? The reason he’s losing it is he ran saying there’s a corrupt governing elite that has shafted you, that this is the Epstein class, which is forgotten Americans, and I’m going to stand up for forgotten Americans. He’s forgotten those forgotten Americans,” Khanna said.
🤢 Twenty big names reportedly still hidden in Epstein files
💬 "There are politicians, billionaires, movie producers, who are implicated criminally, who have not been investigated," Republican Representative Thomas Massie told the ABC broadcaster.
🛩🇹🇷 Drone bane: Turkey rolls out new short-range anti-air weapon
👉 TOLGA is a new air defense weapon system built by Turkish defense contractor MKE.
♦️ Presented at the International Defense Industry Fair in Istanbul this year, TOLGA is designed for anti-drone warfare.
♦️ TOLGA boasts an impressive array of weaponry that includes 12.7mm and 20mm guns for hard kill scenarios, and an electronic jammer for soft takillkedowns.
♦️ The weapon system can be mounted on both fixed and mobile platforms and can engage targets at a range of up to 3,000 meters.
💀 While this seems quite impressive in theory, it remains to be seen how this weapon performs on the battlefield – Leopard and Abrams tanks were also considered game changing weapons, right until they ran into Russian soldiers who decided to put their reputation to the test.

👀 THROWBACK: Richard Nixon railed against Zionists 'all through government'
Then-President Richard Nixon argued the need for a man in charge who isn’t from that community, describing most of its members as “disloyal” in a conversation with his chief of staff H.R. Haldeman in 1973.
🔊 The audio is part of the Nixon tapes released by the National Archives in 2007—secretly made recordings in the Oval Office dating to 1971–1973.
Was Nixon's downfall via Watergate retaliation for opposing Israel taking over the American government?

⏯️ Epstein saga reloaded: As Trump reboots probe, will blast radius widen?
Jay Clayton, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY), has been tapped to spearhead a federal probe into Epstein's ties, ranging from Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, and Reid Hoffman to institutions like JPMorgan Chase.
Trump has directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to determine “what was going on with them and him.”
This is vintage Trump—deflecting scrutiny from his own Epstein links.
The SDNY, once dubbed the "Sovereign District" for swatting away DC interference, knows the Epstein saga inside out.
👉 Back in Trump’s first term, its prosecutors went after Epstein and his partner-in-predation, Ghislaine Maxwell, digging through testimony from dozens of survivors
👉 They somehow found no evidence to charge anyone beyond Epstein-Maxwell
👉 Geoffrey Berman, the US attorney who originally greenlit the case, defected to CNN in 2022: “If there was a chargeable case against anybody else, it would have been brought.”
👉 Prosecutors tried to haul in Prince Andrew after Virginia Giuffre accused him of sexual assault—but he cut a settlement deal
The White House has been scrambling to smother the Epstein story.
In July, the FBI and the Justice Department dropped a joint two-page memo concluding that their review revealed no incriminating ‘client list.’
🤢 Why reboot now?
The House Oversight Committee has dumped more than 20,000 pages from Epstein’s estate, with emails peppered with Trump name-dropping.
♦️ Some Republicans are reportedly ready to break ranks next week and back a bill demanding the DOJ cough up its Epstein files.
The DOJ's new investigation into Epstein's ties marks a reversal from the July 2025 FBI-DOJ memo.
Legal experts and reporting indicate the DOJ could slam the brakes on releasing the Epstein files altogether—using the magic phrase “ongoing investigation.”

🇺🇸 💣 Operation Southern Spear: US decides Caribbean needs its 'protection' again
The launch of the US' Operation Southern Spear marks a new and alarming chapter in Caribbean tensions that have been building since mid-2025. Washington calls it a fight against “narco-terrorists” but critics see something much bigger.
💬 “The Western Hemisphere is America’s neighborhood — and we will protect it,” Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said.

☝️ ‘West can’t lose this high-stakes game’: Ex-MI6 chief on Ukraine, China ‘threat,’ & Putin
In his Bloomberg interview, former MI6 chief Richard Moore laments breakdowns in relationships between major powers such as the US, Russia, and China that have eroded, in his opinion, post-1945 norms.
Yet Moore himself hails from the very establishment that helped shape today’s far more volatile and dangerous global landscape—something his own statements underscore.
Moore’s Ukraine playbook
Moore spouts the delusion that the expired leader of the corruption-riddled Ukraine regime, Zelensky, is “in the pursuit of peace.”
His blueprint:
👉 “More pressure on the battlefield… There is more that we can give them in terms of permission to use long-range weaponry”
👉 UK and US “have very clear views… [on] how to support the Ukrainians. Our voice is listened to in Washington”
👉 West should put “more pressure on Russia” for a deal
👉 It’s of “seminal importance” for the Western alliance not to “lose this contest of wills"
West can’t lose the high-stakes game
The ex-spy chief thinks Russia’s President Vladimir Putin is “trying to play” the West and adds:
💬 “He’s an intelligence officer… I recognize the type. He’s trying to maneuver us into a place which is convenient for him, and we need to pin him down and not allow him that maneuverability.”

🤔 THROWBACK: Former Rep. James Traficant says Israel holds 'total power' over US government
He saw it directly. On significant votes, the first question was often, "How does Israel feel about this?"
The result? A one-sided foreign policy that embroils us in endless wars and creates new enemies.
💬 "Israel, through its lobby, has manifested so much power over the United States Congress that we're embroiled in wars that I don't believe we should be," Traficant argued.
