Why Risk WW3 By Sending Tomahawks? TYLER DURDENPoll after poll has shown that the overwhelming majority of Americans reject direct US military involvement in Ukraine – such as sending troops or other actions which could constitute the start of direct conflict with nuclear-armed Russia.The reality also remains that most Americans can’t find Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia on a map. Does the American public really want to constantly poke the Russian bear over places they can barely pronounce? Do they really care who owns the Donbass? “Where!?…” – your average Joe sixpack is likely asking.Why then, Mr. Trump, are you actually contemplating giving Zelensky, who you once dubbed the ‘greatest salesman on Earth’, America’s own vital long-range Tomahawk missiles?Why are you indulging yet a fourth in-person meeting with Zelensky (and specifically his third trip to the Oval Office) since you took office in January? Where is the pressure on Zelensky to cede territory and rapidly end this bloody and tragic war? Where are the loud assurances of no more NATO expansion to Russia’s border?Why can’t the Ukrainian government, which has already received billions in US taxpayer funds, so much as admit that it has lost Crimea forever? Even this smallest of admissions and concessions would be a big something offered on the path to peace. And yet Kiev remains vocally against ever ceding Crimea, despite the obviously impossibility of ever getting it back (and absolutely everyone knows this).Instead of any semblance of the ability to make compromise, even though it’s obvious to pretty much all that Ukraine’s military has been steadily losing a ‘war of attrition’, Zelensky is busy meeting with Raytheon executives before walking into the White House on Friday morning. This is all part of the pressure and pitch to persuade Trump to give Ukraine the sought after long-range missiles capable of reaching all main population centers in Russia.Even mainstream, generally anti-Kremlin outlets like the BBC understand that this would open up a new phase in the war, where powerful American weapons are directly raining down on Russian cities:We’ve been reporting that the possibility of the US sending Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine is causing “extreme concern” in the Kremlin. That’s because these missiles could drastically increase Ukraine’s range capabilities.As the map below shows, Tomahawks can strike objects up to 1,600km (995 miles) away – putting dozens of Russian military bases, air defense sites and command centers in the range of fire.There’s also been much reporting saying that American contractors and personnel would have to themselves man the systems or oversee them, which is yet more ‘boots on the ground’ mission creep which Trump had earlier vowed to resist.Below, a ZeroHedge reader and top commenter submitted this astute observation on the likely true state of things vis-a-vis Washington and Europe in the context of the Ukraine crisis.The “Democracy vs. Autocracy” myth died in Ukraine’s trenches. What replaced it is far darker: the engineered deconstruction of Europe itself. Cheap Russian energy was severed (via Nord Stream sabotage), not to help Ukraine win — but to break Europe’s economic spine. Weapons stockpiles were drained into a black hole, and now the continent is left dependent on overpriced U.S. arms, powerless to forge its own peace.NATO’s eastern expansion was never about defense — it was about destabilizing Russia and locking Europe into vassal status. Now, as Ukraine bleeds dry, the Empire smiles: the real target was never Moscow, but Brussels, Berlin, and Paris. This isn’t a blunder. It’s a controlled demolition.

ENGINEERING DESPERATIONVia CamusIn a stark analysis, journalist Whitney Webb dissects the fundamental mechanism of control being rolled out globally: the desperate need for our consent.The entire digital architecture—from government-backed CBDCs and stablecoins to the linchpin of Digital ID—is designed to fail without one crucial element: a captive user base. They cannot build the digital prison if no one enters voluntarily.Their strategy, Webb warns, is a classic “carrot and stick.” The allure of convenience and financial incentives is the “carrot” used to lure the masses in. Once dependency is established, “out comes the stick.”The ultimate goal is to engineer desperation. By attacking our wealth and controlling wealth transfers, they create a population fixated on survival. When you are desperate, rational thought erodes. The hierarchy of needs is weaponized; you stop worrying about civil liberties or constitutional rights when you are fighting to survive.This is the core of the problem-reaction-solution paradigm. They create the crisis, anticipate our fearful reaction, and then offer their pre-planned, liberty-eroding “solution.”The critical question Webb leaves us with is not how to fight back later, but how we can insulate ourselves and our communities now—to refuse the reaction and collapse their solution before it ever begins.

Insurrection Anyone?Jim KunstlerTomorrow, Saturday, October 18, you might have heard, is this year’s culminating “No Kings” protest demo all over land. We’ve been to a couple of these curious spectacles since springtime here in the Hudson River Valley, in the next town over. The crowd there was just about entirely made up of aging Boomers, joyfully re-living the halcyon days of the Vietnam protests. It was kind of like a street production of the old Broadway hit Hair, only with a cast of 75-year-olds. Let the sun shine in! But this rural, small-town corner of America is overwhelmingly geriatric. There is next to nothing for young people to do around here, so they flee at the earliest opportunity. The catch is: turns out that opportunity is rather scarce elsewhere, too.For sure, many of these hippie elders have children, even grandchildren now, who are exactly those who are not thriving in the places they have fled to. Deep down, they don’t really know who to blame. Something has gone wrong in this country. But their placards said “Resist.” Resist what? We asked. Trump, of course. Trump, Trump, Trump, we go a’marchin’. He’s Stealing our democracy! Meaning: Trump is the one responsible for our country’s decades-long descent into economic failure, political animus, and social degeneracy. You had to wonder who is paying them to yell an empty slogan that Nancy Pelosi has repeated a million times. We are going to find out.Tomorrow’s “No Kings” action is apt to be a bit livelier in the crisp fall weather, at least in the cities where the under-employed, debt-oppressed, hormonally-driven younger gen folk gravitate into organized cadres more prone to physically acting-out their discontents — groups like Antifa. The street action lately in places like Portland, Oregon, Chicago, and Los Angeles has gotten quite a bit rowdier since last spring.Positions have hardened, largely because the Democratic Party is going extinct. As that occurs, its tactics wax more desperate, tending more towards riots and violence. A lot of the recent violence is in service to the project of rescuing illegal immigrants from deportation. Democratic Party leaders such as LA Mayor Karen Bass say the protesters are defending “the community.”Community is a magic word in the argot of The Resistance. Community is a giant, warm, welcoming amoeba that absorbs all comers into its gelatinous folds, conferring solidarity and safety from outside threats such as the US immigration laws. Of course, the reason that the Democrats are so desperate to rescue illegal immigrants is that millions were allowed to enter the country on-purpose by “Joe Biden” in order to provide a gigantic legion of fresh voters inclined to elect Democrats, so the party won’t go extinct. Thus, expelling them, as the professors might say, is problematic.Flooding the land with illegal immigrants for four years was a deliberate program, then. It was melded with such devices as the motor-voter process that automatically registers to vote anyone who applies for a driver’s license. All a state had to do was declare that anyone, citizen or not, is eligible for the driver’s license. . . and, cazart. . . newly-minted voters by the millions! It was so arrantly in-your-face that you have to wonder why nobody has moved to stop it.But they didn’t. Not even the hated Trump, at least not yet. But we have reason to hope that motor-voter and the other devices for rigging elections can be disassembled before the 2026 midterms. Surely the mail-in ballot has lost its justification — if it even had any — now that the Covid op is bygone. How can any state justify not requiring voter ID based on proof of citizenship at registration? It’s a sign of how generally psychotic — or nefariously careless —our culture had become that there should be any question about proof of citizenship.You might have heard the good news that the Dominion Voting Machine company was sold last month to Liberty Vote, a Missouri-based company. Dominion machines had been used in twenty-eight states, including states with the sketchiest election results: Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. Dominion was previously owned and based in Canada, a country lately captured by crypto-Marxists in thrall to European banking interests. The Dominion machines have long been accused of containing modems enabling connection to the Internet, and thus to hacking. Plus, they’d contained lines of Chinese software. The new owner promises major changes in the way that votes are tabulated.Don’t be surprised if tomorrow’s “No Kings” demo descends into violence, arson, and looting. The Democratic Party needs this happen so it can provoke the president to invoke the Insurrection Act, so they can label him “Hitler” again. It is another absolutely in-your-face move. Mr. Trump has discussed the possibility of having to invoke the act. Such a dynamic course of events will backfire badly on the desperate Democrats. More than half the country has had enough of Woke Marxist roguery. They will probably be glad to see extraordinary measures used to stop it, and to override the rogue judiciary that lets it loose on the nation.It can’t be hard at all to discover who has been paying for this Resistance uprising that includes the “No Kings” demos. It is relatively easy to track the money trails from one bank to another, or many banks to many others, and to see which NGOs are sending all the dough. . . and then who among the operational units are receiving it. It is all going to be shut down. People will be charged and indicted, perhaps even mayors and governors. The charges will be serious. Stand by to see how all this unspools tomorrow.

CHINA UNVEILS QUANTUM RADAR THAT COULD MAKE U.S. STEALTH JETS USELESSSgt Pat and Mal Antoni at Whatfinger NewsChina just announced the mass production of a quantum radar component that can detect even the most advanced U.S. stealth fighters. The F-22? No longer invisible, just very expensive and very exposed. The device is miniaturized, energy-efficient, and nearly impossible to detect, unlike the Pentagon’s panic. Beijing’s message is loud and clear: your air superiority has an expiration date. Source: La RazónIn a stark revelation that underscores the perils of unchecked Chinese espionage, a recent X post by Mario Nawfal highlighted China’s unveiling of a quantum radar capable of rendering U.S. stealth fighters like the F-22 obsolete. The announcement, sourced from Spanish outlet La Razón but echoing alarms from conservative analysts, signals Beijing’s mass production of miniaturized, energy-efficient devices that detect even the most advanced American jets. This isn’t innovation—it’s the culmination of decades of intellectual property theft from the United States, propelling China to military parity and making any defense of Taiwan an insurmountable challenge when Xi Jinping inevitably moves to conquer the island. Conservative experts have long warned that China’s military buildup is rooted in pilfered American secrets. The Chengdu J-20 stealth fighter, often dubbed a “knockoff” of the F-22 Raptor, exemplifies this brazen strategy. According to defense officials, Beijing leveraged stolen U.S. technology to develop its signature stealth aircraft, hacking into Department of Defense systems and extracting blueprints.Fox News reports detail how China accessed sensitive data on the F-22 and F-35 programs, with breaches numbering in the tens of thousands. One notorious case involved Su Bin, a Chinese national who conspired with hackers to steal F-22 and F-35 designs, funneling them to the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). As a result, the J-20 entered service in 2017, boasting capabilities that mirror America’s fifth-generation fighters, including advanced avionics and stealth coatings—tech that China couldn’t have developed independently so quickly. This theft extends to hypersonic weapons, where China has surged ahead. Conservative outlets like the Daily Wire and Fox News highlight cases of Chinese nationals stealing missile defense blueprints, including space-based detection systems critical for intercepting hypersonics.More…

“Fueled By Billionaires”: No Kings Prepares Color-Revolution-Style Mobilization Against TrumpTYLER DURDENThe Democratic Party’s dark-money NGO network, bankrolled by left-wing billionaires, is reportedly preparing to activate a coordinated, color-revolution-style mobilization across the U.S. this weekend – a replay of failed agitation attempts seen earlier this year targeting President Trump and Elon Musk. The operation, marketed under the “No Kings” banner and portrayed publicly as a grassroots movement, in reality functions as a professionalized protest-industrial complex. Its composition includes a blend of paid activists, white boomers suffering from Stage 4 Trump Derangement Syndrome, and a smaller contingent of organic, unhinged leftists who recite MSNBC talking points by heart.Little do these white boomers know, the “No Kings”movement, supposedly against “kings and billionaires”, is, in reality, funded by leftist billionaire kings themselves. In truth, No Kings is bankrolled by far-left foundations backed by the same billionaire class that has been waging a political war against President Trump since his first term. Essentially, one faction of billionaires hates another, so their woke non-profit soldiers create a front group, brand it “No Kings,” and bankroll an army of paid protesters and unhinged left-wing activists. This is America in 2025: the permanent protest-industrial complex of hate and chaos, financed by the left.Drilling down into the dark-money network funding No Kings are investigative researchers Peter Schweizer and Seamus Bruner of the Government Accountability Institute. Their new bombshell reportexposes how the protest-industrial complex, dubbed “Riot, Inc.,” is, in their words, “FUELED BY BILLIONAIRES.””We traced $294,487,641 to the official No Kings 2.0 partners & organizers…all funneled through the same “Riot Inc.” dark-money networks: Arabella network $79.7M+ Soros network $72.1M+ Ford network $51.7M+, Tides $45.5M+, Rockefeller $28.6M+, and Buffett $16.6M+,” Bruner wrote on X. Soros’s Open Society network directly contributed $72 million+ to official No Kings 2.0 organizers & partners. Soros is a primary architect of the “Riot Inc.” political protest model and a master of “color revolutions.”Billionaire #2: MARK ZUCKERBERG Zuck orgs funneled $50 million+ into the Riot Inc. dark-money network through Arabella- and Tides-linked foundations. His money helps underwrite the same protest infrastructure now powering “No Kings 2.0.” Billionaire #4: BILL GATES Gates Foundation pumped $100 million+ into the same Arabella–Tides–Ford infrastructure funding this weekend’s global protests.More…
