Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown is suing the Trump administration over its plan to convert a vacant warehouse into an immigration detention facility.

The federal lawsuit, filed Monday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, alleges the Department of Homeland Security’s decision to establish such a facility in Washington County is unlawful under the Administrative Procedure Act and the National Environmental Policy Act.

Brown argued the federal government needed to conduct an environmental review concerning the land on which the 825,000-square-foot warehouse lies.

South Korea’s takeover by their Democratic Party has launched the country towards a Chinese death spiral that was confirmed when the U.S. changed its defense agreement with the now-CCP-captured country.

Defense Minister Ahn Gyu-back issued a formal complain with the USFK commander, Army General Xavier Brunson. He was complaining about an incident that saw 10 U.S. F-16 Fighting Falcons entering South Korean and Chinese air defense identification zones. After it entered the space, China sent two fighter aircraft, resulting in what was only described as a “rare standoff.”

Seoul protests US-China fighter jet encounter over Yellow Sea, report says  – Stars and Stripes
from news.google.com

South Korea’s Ministry of National Defense has lodged a complaint with U.S. Forces Korea over a brief standoff between American and Chinese fighter jets, according to local media. Defense Minister Ahn Gyu-back contacted the USFK commander, Army Gen. Xavier Brunson, after learning of Wednesday’s incident, the Yonhap News Agency reported Saturday. Gen. Jin Yong-sung, chairman of South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, also raised concerns with Brunson, said the report, which cited unnamed military sources. According to Yonhap, about 10 U.S. F-16 Fighting Falcons were training over the Yellow Sea when they entered an area between the air defense identification zones of South Korea and China. Beijing dispatched its own fighter aircraft in response, resulting in what Yonhap described as a “rare standoff,” though no clash occurred.

President Donald Trump announced Saturday an increase in the global tariff rate on imports from 10 percent to 15 percent. The change — which comes just a day after the administration was forced to restructure due to a controversial Supreme Court ruling — took effect immediately and applies to goods imported from most countries.

The announcement came one day after the U.S. Supreme Court issued a 6-3 ruling on in the consolidated cases Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump and Trump v. V.O.S. Selections, Inc. The Court held that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not authorize the president to impose tariffs.

New images inside Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘Lolita Express’ private jet show some of the chilling items that have been left on the aircraft, which is now abandoned.

Now rotting away in an aircraft yard in Georgia, newly released footage shows the plane deteriorating on an outdoor tarmac, its structure corroding and worn after long exposure to the elements. The new images have revealed the plane’s current state, which is a far cry from its days carrying high-profile passengers, including former President Bill Clinton.

Covering the news cycle between February 13 – 19, 2026

  1. BRITAIN GETS A NEW HOPE WITH A NEW BRITAIN FIRST PARTY – As Nigel Farage of Reform UK appears to have plateaued in his lead in the polls (around 20-25%), frustration has grown that his half approach to the planvasion assault on the British people is wearing thin with British citizens. Rupert Lowe, who was forced out of Reform by Farage (who even tried to get Lowe arrested based on now-proven trumped up sexual abuse charges), has formed a new party, Restore Britain. He promises not to merely slow down or halt “migration,” he plans on reversing it and sending most recent “migrants” back where they came from.

Since he has entered the race, his party has already hit 10% in the polls, taking mostly from disenfranchised Labour and Conservative voters. The corporate globalist media is doing their best to paint the fascist-nazi-racist label on Lowe, but the target audience most likely is now immune to such baseless treasonous dog whistles of anti-white, anti-British racism.

  1. WHO SHUTDOWN CONTINUES AS MEMBER NATIONS FAIL TO COME TO THE RESCUE – The World Health Organization (WHO) is shutting down major parts of its operation as it continues to run out of funds. The WHO will be shutting down the Department of Policy, Law, and Human Rights. The WHO and its surrogates continue to appeal to nation-states to rescue it before it’s too late, but so far, there are no takers to that challenge.
  2. SCOTUS CUTS OFF LEFTIST FOREIGN AID SLUSH FUNDS – After lower-level insurrectionist DNC-CCP judges repeatedly attempted to force the Trump administration to keep funding their party’s money laundering foreign aid fund scheme, the Supreme Court has officially ended their judicial tyranny. SCOTUS ruled 6-3 the Trump administration has every right to cut off $4 billion in foreign aid if he so chooses. The six justices assessed that “the harms to the Executive’s conduct of foreign affairs appear to outweigh the potential harm faced by respondents.”
  3. PUERTO RICO’S UNBORN CHILD LAW TAKES EFFECT – Puerto Rican Governor Jenniffer Gonzalez signed an amendment to Senate Bill 823 that recognizes an unborn child as being a human being. The bill is seen as an assault on the abortion industry, which it thankfully is. The Governor declared an unborn child is legally a person, and now, that declaration is codified into Puerto Rican law.

She said at the signing that the law “aims to maintain consistency between civil and criminal provisions by recognizing the unborn child as a human being.” Puerto Rico joins 38 states that recognize the unborn as a person and 27 states that provide protection of the unborn throughout the prenatal period of human development.

She added,Every human being has legal personality and capacity from the moment of conception and is a subject of law for all purposes that are favorable to him or her. The inheritance rights that the law recognizes in favor of the unborn child are subject to the event of birth. The representation of the human being in gestation corresponds to whoever will exercise it when he or she is born and, in case of impossibility or incapacity, to a legal representative or court-appointed guardian.”

  1. PERU AXES PRO-CHINA PRESIDENT – After it was revealed that Peru’s President, Jose Jeri, had secret meetings with members of the Chinese Communist Party, Peru’s congress moved quickly to remove the President, who had only been in power for four months. He is the eighth President in eight years and the third President in the time-period to be removed by the congress.
  2. VIRGINIA GUN TAX DIES IN SUBCOMMITTEE – One part of DNC Virginia’s plan to remake the state in a Progmerican image has failed before it ever reached a floor vote in the Virginia General Assembly. A bill that would have added a $500 gun suppressor tax failed in the subcommittee unanimously. This doesn’t mean the DNC won’t reintroduce the bill later, but, for now, they have to retreat, to the good of the American people behind DNC enemy lines in Insurrectionist Virginia.
  3. COALITION OF STATES TO OPPOSE MAIL-ORDER ABORTIONS GROWS TO 22 – Alabama has just joined 22 other states in opposing the 2023 FDA decision that allowed a deadly drug designed to terminate the unborn to be purchased over the counter, and even through the mail. The drug has already been used by men to murder unborn children against the mother’s will.

Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall said, “This rule is unlawful, plain and simple. The Biden FDA eliminated critical safety safeguards, authorized the mailing of abortion drugs in direct conflict with federal law, and empowered out-of-state providers to violate the laws of pro-life States. After Dobbs returned abortion policy to the States, the Biden administration attempted to override that decision through executive action. We are standing with Louisiana to defend state sovereignty, enforce the law, and protect unborn life.”

  1. CORPORATE AMERICA IS TUNING OUT RAINBOW MAFIA FLAGSHIP – The legal extortionist operation known as Human Rights Campaign (HRC) sends out a questionnaire every year to corporate America, designed to de facto threaten them if they don’t continue to enact policies that grant privilege to non-heterosexuals. Last year, 377 Fortune 500 companies responded, or 75%. This year, that plummeted to just 131, a 65% drop.
  2. NYU HOSPITAL DROPS TRANS SURGERIES FOR KIDS – Another hospital is being forced to stop its Moloch practice of sacrificing children to the transgendered god. NYU Langone Health has announced it is cancelling its transgender treatment program for kids out of fear of losing federal funding.

The hospital appeared to be clueless to the violent pedophilic crimes it has committed, confessing it ended the program due to the “current regulatory environment,” and not because mutilating children to satisfy your transgender ideology is pure evil, a fact that is easy to see for non-ideological normal human beings.

It stated, “Given the recent departure of our medical director, coupled with the current regulatory environment, we made the difficult decision to discontinue our Transgender Youth Health Program. We are committed to helping patients in our care manage this change. This does not impact our pediatric mental health care programs, which will continue.”

  1. IOWA MOVES TO STOP COLLEGE CAMPUS GUN GRABBERS – While Iowa Universities appear to want to create soft targets for mass shooters by creating “gun free zones,” the Iowa legislature is preparing to check their anti-American power grab. Iowa State Senator Jason Schults (R) has introduced a bill that appears on a fast track to passage.

The bill limits the restrictions on gun rights that colleges and universities can impose on their students and staff. It essentially allows Americans to possess firearms in secured positions in some places, including college campuses, and expands the right to conceal carry to include school parking lots.

  1. 3RD TRANSGENDERED MASS SHOOTER IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR KILLS SELF, WIFE, SON – A man presenting as a woman opened fire at a Rhode Island hockey game, killing his wife, his son, and then himself. The killer was Robert Dorgan, who has a long social media history of making violent threats, including to Kevin Sorbo and Alec Jones. He threatened people online saying, “Keep bashing us, but do not wonder why we Go BERSERK.” It could have been worse had a male bystander not intervened, causing the shooter to pull out another gun to shoot himself with. Our publisher, Bill Collier, has a Final Thought on pg. xx that goes deeper on this story.

  1. FIRST MAJOR ARRESTS HAPPEN IN EPSTEIN FILES – Britain and France have made the first major arrests connected to the Epstein Files while the U.S.’s Department of Justice has announced there are no more files to release, and no more redactions to be unredacted. The highest profile arrest is in Britain where former Prince Andrew was arrested. At home, former Trump strategist Steve Bannon has taken the biggest hit, with emails and texts suggesting he was working to help Epstein overcome his broken image AFTER he was convicted of pedophile-related charges. Bannon has denied the characterization.

We are beginning to suspect that the reason the Trump administration continues to protect the truth from coming out is that they believe the damage to the U.S. and Israel would be worse than whatever happens as a result of hiding such an abominable truth. We note that in the Old Testament prophets, the two great sins charged against Judah and Israel were child sacrifice and whoredom. The truth behind the Epstein Files reveals an international class of “leaders” who have been engaging in both at the most extreme, darkest depths of both whoredom and child sacrifice. Fear the Lord, not men, President Trump.

  1. RUSSIA AND CHINA JOIN IRAN MILITARY EXERCISES AS TRUMP CONSIDERS NEXT MOVE – President Trump has been moving more U.S. military assets, including carrier groups, into the Persian Gulf region as he threatens war with Iran while continuing to engage diplomatically with Iran. China and Russia have participated in a joint military exercise with Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. At home, the President faces a potential congressional challenge to his authority to start a war with Iran. While protests continue sporadically in Iran, and reports of explosions continue to leak out, the regime appears fully in charge as it continues to slaughter the opposition.

  1. XI’S HOLD ON CHINA NOT SO SECURE AFTER ALL – Signs within China point to instability continuing in the wake of Chairman Xi’s recent purge of an attempted coup. The coup appears to have been led by the-then second most powerful man in China, Zhang Youxia. Zhang was well-respected by the military, and they appear willing to send public signals they continue to support him.

That signal came through their newspaper, the Liberation Army Daily, which featured an article signaling support for an historic figure like Zhang Youxia. That historic figure is Zhang Guotao, who broke with Mao Zedong in the 30s. This was the first of six similar articles released following the reported arrest of Zhang Youxia.

  1. POTOMAC RIVER SEWAGE DISASTER TRIGGERED BY DNC INCOMPETENCE, TRUMP PROMISES RELIEF – HHS Secretary Kristi Noem is accusing Maryland’s State Democrat leadership of gross incompetence that led to a catastrophic environmental disaster in the Potomac River. Millions of gallons of sewage water were released into the Potomac because of a faulty pipe.

Noem said, “Thanks to gross mismanagement by Maryland’s Democrat leaders, hundreds of millions of gallons of raw sewage has reportedly been dumped into the Potomac River—flowing straight through our nation’s capital and endangering millions of people, wildlife, and the entire DC region’s water supply.”

The President has responded by pledging to use Federal resources to attempt to clean up the mess. DC Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) has officially declared a public emergency and requested Federal rescue.

  1. AS ANTI-ICE TERROR ASSAULTS CONTINUE, SENATOR CLAIMS OPERATION IS FOREIGN-FUNDED – The terrorist assaults on ICE agents in the lawful commission of a Presidential order are decreasing, but hardly ending. Public schools run by insurrectionists have built children’s armies, taking them away from learning and into the frontlines of their insurrectionist war.

Senator Jim Banks (R-IN) has sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, urging her to investigate the foreign funding of the terrorist operation. He wrote, “I urge you to investigate foreign influence behind anti-ICE activism. Progressive groups across the country are organizing protests, economic boycotts, and school walkouts to oppose immigration enforcement, they are inciting the obstruction of federal law.”

  1. NOTE: We support the rights of Americans to lawfully protest ICE action until it interferes with the lawful commission of a Presidential order. We do NOT support the use of children as political weapons whipped up into an anti-American frenzy by a treasonous class of Progmericans, the leftist public-school teachers.

  1. JUDGEFARE INSURRECTION EXPOSED BY THE NEW YORK TIMES – An article in the New York Times called “The Plan for a Radically Different Supreme Court Is Here,” exposes the Progmerican ideological capture of Federal judges and its plans to only accelerate the acts of insurrectionist judges.

The organization cultivating and identifying potential and existing jurists willing to rule based on social justice (Progmerican Rule of Law) over Individual Justice (American Rule of Law) is called the American Constitution Society (which is, in real spirit, the Progmerican Social Justice Rule of Law Society). This is the society the Biden committee used to select the 235 judges now working as one in opposition to the American republic, in lock step with Progmerican rule of law.

Jeffrey Toobin of CNN echoed the plan the article exposed, saying “For now, under Mr. Brest, the A.C.S. seems headed for an approach that looks like the one that Democratic politicians have so far adopted: aimed more at opposition to Mr. Trump’s record rather than on a specific, alternative vision for the Constitution. In his opening message to the group, Mr. Brest described the A.C.S. as building ‘a bulwark against overreach by the Trump administration and the Roberts court. Mr. Brest has pledged that A.C.S. will continue its Biden-era focus on judicial appointments … As for what those judges will stand for — as opposed to what they stand against — Mr. Brest has no clear answer.”

  1. VA HIGH COURT GIVES GO-AHEAD FOR NEW GERRYMANDERING REFERENDUM – The Virginia Supreme Court has just given the insurrectionist DNC state the go-ahead to push a referendum that will effectively cancel 4 U.S. House seats for conservatives. DNC Virginia looks to cement its hold on American soil by effectively making it impossible for non-Democrats to ever win in the state again. The referendum, the new district map, will be voted on starting this March through mid-April. The move followed the GOP’s failure to secure a gerrymandering scheme favorable to their party in Indiana, a state they fully control.

The courts have failed at all levels to recognize the constitutional violations of gerrymandering as a principle, which allows political parties to create geographically unnatural voting districts to assure their party cannot be defeated in a general election ever again. Now, millions of conservatives will be effectively disenfranchised from the voting rolls. They will be effectively taxed without representation. SCOTUS continues to allow this unconstitutional practice.

  1. COLBERT DEFIES NETWORK, SPREADS MISINFORMATION ABOUT RESTRICTIONS ON TALARICO INTERVIEW – Progmerican Late Night Host Stephen Colbert was told by CBS News that his scheduled interview with Texas Democrat Candidate for Senate James Talarico would be required to include an opposite counter, mainly another Democrat candidate running against him in the same Senate Primary.

Stephen Colbert used his show’s dwindling platform to push forth the lie CBS news simply did not want Talarico on the show altogether, claiming, “He was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network’s lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast. Then I was told in some uncertain terms that not only could I not have him on, I could not mention me not having him on, and because my network clearly doesn’t want us to talk about this, let’s talk about this.”

The action is seen as a direct challenge to the new head of CBS News, Bari Weiss, whose department was behind the decision. As of this writing, CBS News has doubled down on its counter to Colbert’s claims, but no overt action has been taken in response to what was an overt act of misinformation intended to undermine the credibility of the company that pays his salary. This was not the act of a whistleblower, it was the act of an information terrorist, an agit propagandist, a Marat Molotov-cocktail thrower.

  1. UK LOOKS TO “SOCIALLY TRANSITION” 4 YEARS OLD – The United Kingdom’s Department of Education is set to issue guidelines for transitioning children to genders of their choosing. The current draft reveals the department plans on allowing schools to “socially transition” children as young as four. The policy “acknowledged that there is a lack of good evidence on the long-term impact of social transition on young people, but it is clear that social transition should be viewed as an active intervention that may have significant effects on the child or young person in terms of their psychological functioning and longer-term outcomes.”

Maya Forstater of the biological-sex human rights group Sex Matters, responded to the report, stating “Schools are still being left with the idea that they can facilitate ‘social transition’ – which remains undefined – and that they should negotiate this on a case-by-case basis. They are being encouraged to think that children have a ‘birth sex’ as well as some other concept of sex. This has no basis in law or reality, and undermines safeguarding. It should be clear by now that allowing children and parents to think that a child who starts their education as a girl can graduate as a boy or vice versa is a dangerous fairy tale.”

  1. MAMDANI’S HOLD ON NY HIGHLIGHTS DNC ISLAM IN PRACTICE – If you want to get a sense of what DNC Islam rule is like, New York’s new Mayor, DNC Islamist Zohran Mamdani, is putting to flesh those policies. Already, Israeli companies are being forced out, the Muslim call to prayer is polluting New York airspace, and Mamdani is threatening to raise property taxes by 9.5% if New York state doesn’t give Mamdani the bloated budget he wants (a budget that is almost as much as the entire state of Florida).

Now, Mamdani is also bringing in violent radical Islamists into his government, which includes a former CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) staffer. CAIR is considered a terrorist organization by Americans, though our own government so far has failed to recognize this reality. The operative, Faizi Ali, will now be New York City’s chief immigration officer. Expect an army of violent Islamist radicals to be imported to their new American caliphate HQ, New York City, a fallen city.

In 2024 alone, Dying with Dignity had $9 million in tax free assets. The latest figures haven’t been released yet, but in Canada, suicide advocacy groups are treated like religious groups in America, they don’t pay taxes. The profit for pushing death is high.

They hope to use the stolen funds to plug a deficit in their budget caused by their own bloated socialist programs.

One recipient of that stolen money will be the “Climate Commitment Account,” which is a de facto DNC-CCP political slush fund that helps arm its street fighters we see across America on a regular basis. These street fighters have been terrorizing cities and burning down businesses for years now. They will receive over half a billion dollars, or 12.5% of the Police and Firefighters pension fund.

Four families, 25 believers, were affected by the assault, which was carried out by 20 villagers. Attacks by Hindus against Christians have only increased under the Hindu nationalist Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi.

Christian Solidarity Worldwide President Mervyn Thomas said of the attacks, “It is deeply concerning to witness the grave and unacceptable assault and humiliation these families have been subjected to on account of their religion. Even more alarming is the failure of the police to protect these vulnerable citizens, which has emboldened the perpetrators. We call upon the district administration and state authorities to intervene as matter of urgency, ensuring the safety of the affected families, restoring their rights, compensating them for the loss of their homes, and holding those responsible to account under the law.”

“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? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” – Matthew 5:43-48

“And he answered, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.’” – Luke 10:12

  1. NOTE: Satan wants us to hate the sinner, not the sin. God calls us to ONLY to hate the sin. In the wake of yet another mass shooting by a transgendered person, the temptation to vilify and demonize this whole group of people, transgendered people, is strong. The temptation to make the transgendered person the enemy, the “other” is strong as well.

But transgendered people are human beings, all with the image of God within them, all as sacred to God as non-trans people are. Our publisher, Bill Collier, shares a few thoughts on being a good neighbor to whoever the “other” is in your life. In this case, the “other” might become the transgendered person. Should you fall for this temptation from Satan, your list of “others” is only sure to grow, as Satan designed it.

Violent psychotics appear in every era, in every society under different psychosis, from religious fanatics to anarchists. Now, we are seeing climate alarmist fanatics, neo-Nazis, Islamists, and, especially more recently, trans extremist wackos.

Religion doesn’t make people psychotic.

Concern for the environment isn’t psychotic.

Islam as a religion doesn’t make people psychotic.

Neo–Nazism IS psychotic: there are no good neo-Nazis.

But trans people aren’t inherently psychotic.

I think people who have a propensity toward psychosis pick something as a cause. Right now, people who would likely have been psychotics for another reason are on the trans bandwagon, their
vehicle of power.”

The radical trans ideology is, in my opinion and estimation, a close cousin and “gateway drug” to transhumanism, which is as maleficent as Nazism or Stalinism.

We used to use the term “trans sexual” for people who believed they were the opposite sex to their biology. They didn’t try and force anyone to speak a certain way, to use their preferred pronouns, or to affirm them in any way.

Back in the 80s, in MY experience, trans sexual people were treated like anyone else. You weren’t compelled to call a man a woman, but you were expected to be polite and respectful. You were expected to not judge them as a human being, even if you disagreed with their life choices or their beliefs. In the 80s, the spirit of “mind your own business” was still strong in the American street.

Of course, there were the truly intolerant, the people who preyed on difference as a sport. The transgendered person was an easy target for them, though they didn’t get much support for their actions. They also suffered little consequence other than social disassociation.

In the late 80s, a dear friend of mine had AIDS. He was treated as a pariah by his own family, and many of his friends. He was dying in a hospice with few visitors. When someone did visit, they wouldn’t hug him, wouldn’t eat with him.

My Mother and I were the last two people regularly visiting him. We already knew AIDS was not as contagious as people feared, so we happily hugged him and ate with him. He was a homosexual. He was a family friend. That latter point weighed far more than the former point did. Back then, I was a Christian as I still am today. He understood clearly that I did not approve of his lifestyle, but I was still his friend, and he was mine.

Near the end, I was able to give him a gospel message, and in the last few weeks of his life he became a Christian like me. My time with him in those last few months was precious, and through him I learned a lot about myself, life, and my God, for it was not my stone heart, but my heart of flesh, that compelled me through God’s love to follow God’s commands, to love your neighbor, even your enemy, as yourself.

It was in spite of me that God blessed this man through me, just as surely as it will be in spite of you that you will do the same, if you haven’t already (and most of you probably have similar stories to tell).

While my friend had to face people rejecting him, people being bigoted towards him (and far beyond committing “micro-aggressions”), he also had us. And most of my friends back then were like us. It was OK to say you believe in certain things and disagree with others, but when it comes to doing life together, you still had to be decent and kind to everyone. The spirit of “mind your own business” was still strong in these American streets.

Being transgendered doesn’t make you a trans ideologue. THIS is where the psychosis comes from, NOT from transgenderism in and of itself. The trans ideology imposes conformity, celebrates transness and vilifies “cis-gendered” people (which is 95 plus percent of humanity). The trans ideology, not transgenderism, is as psychotic as Nazism, and has the same outcome, it produces serial killers, people who shoot up schools, churches, and even hockey games.

Their vision for society could not happen without canceling the entirety of the Judeo-Christian way of life and civilizational paradigm. It would mean the corrupting of children as official policy in every school. It is mentally destabilizing and dangerous.

Transgendered people do not necessarily embrace the current extremist version of trans ideology (especially not the older ones), but when they do, they become ticking time bombs. Just as people feared all gays would give them AIDS, now people fear all transgendered people will become violently deranged and shoot the place up.

The response from the Trans Ideologues to credible concerns about the ideology has been to accuse people of being bigots, transphobes, worthy of economic assassination, for even expressing concern at this growing violent trend (on the margins of extreme violence, but not overall). These accusations are tiring, and only serve at this point to harden hearts against ALL transgendered people.

If you truly hated transgendered people, you’d want the Trans Ideologues to continue to respond to critique just the way they have, knowing they are winning converts over to your own dark ideology of unrighteous and anti-American hate.

Their reactions make it appear to be more of a cover-up and a way to shame people rather than a good faith effort to address the underlying fears.

It is a denial of reality to say that back in the 80s gay people weren’t more likely to get AIDS, and that getting AIDS was most likely a death sentence; therefore, it was not paranoia or bigotry that led Americans to believe AIDS was something to avoid.

People had a legitimate fear that they might catch this. It was irrational when it became “all gays” and when people thought merely shaking someone’s hand or hugging a person could give you AIDS. It became more and more irrational as evidence piled up showing AIDS wasn’t so contagious, and as treatment for AIDS became more effective.

As a sidenote, we do understand the dark history of the “development” of treatment for AIDS and how it ties to Dr. Anthony Fauci, but we’ll save that rabbit hole for another time.

It is also a denial of reality to say that the extremist version of trans ideology doesn’t exist, and that transgendered people are NOT more drawn to it than anyone else. It is not transphobic to acknowledge this ideology causes real harm, which includes leading trans ideologues to target heterosexuals, especially kids, for assassination.

That fear becomes irrational, and maybe transphobic, when you start to think every trans person is out to kill you, or even that EVERY trans person is a trans ideologue (not even the majority are) or that EVERY trans person is psychotic (crime statistics, outside of the extreme category of mass murder, do not back up such claims).

Some ideologies are inherently evil, like Nazism and Communism. There are no good nazis or communists. But there are good transgendered people. There are good religious people. I mean good in an American sense, not in a Christian sense (in that sense, none of us are good, Psalm 53).

The modern trans ideology being pushed by the corporate world, entertainment, and education institutions, and by every HR department, is inherently evil, but it isn’t the predominant ideology of transgendered people. There are far more “cis-gendered” adherents to this ideology than transgendered ones.

I think a perfect litmus test is to ask someone if they think people who refuse to use alternative pronouns should be canceled or even punished by the law. Anyone who says yes to that might just be a ticking time bomb and a real danger you need to avoid.

If someone cannot simply agree that there are only two natural genders and all else is a social construct, they are on the spectrum toward the trans ideology and could become a danger to society.

Most transgendered people are not trying to force you to comply with their alternative ideas on sex, sexuality, and gender, they just want you to respect their beliefs and treat them as a human being. Seeing another transgendered shooting should not be the basis for hating transgendered people any more than watching Roots, a mini-series about the REAL hell of American slavery, should make you hate all white people.

We should be aware that some ideologies are inherently dangerous but also, we should be aware that radical ideologies that may champion a group are rarely ever followed by most people in that group. Some versions of Christian Nationalism, for instance, claim to champion Christianity but most all Christians reject these ideologies.

Unless you want to outlaw my dissent from the idea that gender can be a social construct, I’m fine with you being what you see as your authentic self. If you act in that ideological militancy, I’m just going to avoid you and consider you a potential hazard to others.

In times of upheaval, the fear of the other winning leads us to make our neighbors (the transgendered person) our enemies (the trans ideologue), and our enemies an “other” we are exempt from loving, exempt from still seeing as humans.

Be wise, be awake, carry two swords, but remember to love your neighbor as yourself, even if they’re your enemy. If we can resist the temptation Satan has set before us, to lead us to hate the whole of humanity by first hating our transgendered neighbors, we as a people can get through this dark valley to the other side, where dry bones will come to life and our land will be revitalized with hope.

The transgendered person has become a bellwether for our own hate, our own love. What comes next will follow as a result of the spirit we allow this time to create for us. Love breaks the cycle of violence, hatred of the other (not hatred of sin, which is good and righteous) keeps it going.

Let us love in truth, not hate in fear.

“… the state cannot take authority over men that God himself has chosen not to. Free will must be preserved lest you be spitting into the face of God.” – Paul Gordon Collier

“Mr. Speaker, in 1848, Karl Marx said, a progressive income tax is needed to transfer wealth and power to the state. Thus, Marx’s Communist Manifesto had as its major economic tenet a progressive income tax. Think about it, 1848 Karl Marx, Communism…. I say it is time to replace the progressive income tax with a national retail sales tax, and it is time to abolish the IRS, my colleagues. I yield back all the rules, regulations, fear, and intimidation of our current system.”James Traficant, former Democrat U.S. representative, one of the last American Democrats to serve in congress (maybe Senator John Fetterman of PA is the last?)

I had originally planned on listening to the “competing” Halftime Shows of this year’s Superbowl, the championship game of America’s premiere professional sport, football, and that sports’ premiere football league, the NFL (National Football League).

My original intention was to analyze the content of each performance, with the TPUSA halftime show taking up the space of “America” and the Bad Bunny OFFICIAL halftime show representing Progmerica (which the NFL also represents).

The fact that the Bad Bunny songs were all in Spanish made that last part a bit of a challenge. The fact that, even if you remove the political context completely, I have no interest to listen to the types of music being played in either halftime show, sealed my decision. I could not bring myself to watch the totality of either show. Therefore, I won’t be talking too specifically about the content of each show, but rather about the bellwether elements of both shows as they represent the zeitgeist of America today.

First of all, right from the start, the felt NEED for conservatives to have their own halftime show reveals the existential divide in this land between those who embrace the progressive nation and those who refuse to bend their knee to it.

The NFL highlighted that divide, as they have done again and again, by having TWO “national” anthems, one for the POC (Person of Color, the High Priests of Progmerica, the progressive nation) and one for the country they hate, the American nation.

They performed the American anthem not because they wanted to, but because they had to. They understand that Progmerica has risen from within America, that it has hijacked America’s symbols and terminology, and converted them into something wholly and completely unamerican, though Progmerica cannot as of yet stand on its own until the legal definition of America changes (and they’re working on that).

The word racism is the bellwether of their tactics. It is a word that is born from America’s rightly felt guilt for sub humanizing the African race and allowing them to be legally bought and sold as property. It is a word that helped us understand the nature of our sin, our willingness to sub humanize the other, and conquer the possible fatal flaw of our constitution, that it began with a wild hypocrisy.

As a matter of fact, our ideal of the divine right of self-stewardship is what made American slavery so vicious. Having a principle that protected ALL HUMANS from the tyranny of the state that JUSTIFIES that state’s very authority meant either slavery had to die, or the black man had to become a gorilla, or worse (anything but human).

The NFL has taken to use its space as political agit prop, and the Superbowl was no exception, though thankfully the NFL’s most violent slogan wasn’t used, “End Racism.” Instead, they chose the Motte in opposition to rounding up illegal aliens with “Choose Love” and “It Takes All of Us,” leaving out the violent looting Bailey, the fact that those who support the illegal aliens do so at the expense of their neighbors, who aren’t’ given a choice as to whether or not they want to sacrifice their wealth (and their lives, in many instances, especially the lives of their children) for the benefit of foreigners.

They are not advocating love, they are using the word love in replacement of what they REALLY support, CONQUEST. This is the punishment of the haves at the benefit of the have-nots, with the ultimate haves being WHITE American citizens, and the have nots being the poor POC from the “Global South,” their new victim class shield they’ve been developing these last few years.

Yet those slogans were nowhere near as bad as the slogan “End Racism” if you understand how the NFL terms racism. This bears taking a bit of a detour before we get back to our main point, because it clarifies the spirit of the NFL even better than the Superbowl Halftime show did (it also helps explain how an “American” institution could make such anti-American choices).

I asked Grok how the NFL defines racism, and in that answer Grok revealed it’s just as racist in its assumptions as the NFL is. Grok summarized its report to me with this paragraph:

“The NFL aligns its stance with recognizing both individual prejudice and systemic/institutional forms of racism, as seen in condemnations of discriminatory practices (e.g., hiring biases, racial tropes, or policies disadvantaging Black players/employees). This mirrors broader contemporary understandings (e.g., post-2020 dictionary updates emphasizing systemic oppression and power imbalances), but the league frames it through commitments to equality, inclusion, diversity, and anti-discrimination policies rather than a precise dictionary-style definition.”

I asked Grok what the definition of racism is post-2020, and it revealed dictionary definitions that don’t go as far as progressive definitions, but most of these definitions prepare the ground for them. They also don’t contradict the progressive definitions.

The closest they come to the progressive definition is in Merriam-Webster, which makes “racism” social, not individual, calling it “the systemic oppression of a racial group to the social, economic, and political advantage of another.” That definition is JUST about where the progressive definition is, the one that would be used by Progmerica.

Grok did tell me, “The prevailing definition of racism in major American dictionaries today (as of February 2026) emphasizes both individual beliefs/prejudice and systemic or institutional aspects, reflecting updates made around 2020 in response to evolving usage.”

Let’s make this clear, this isn’t evolving usage, it’s nudging. The dictionaries aren’t reflective of common usage, they’re reflecting Academia’s WILL for common usage. They’re engaging in political information terrorist action intended to overthrow America’s justification for existence, INDIVIDUAL justice, not SOCIAL justice.

There is no individual racism definition in the progressive lexicon. Grok’s answer on what the progressive academic definition of racism is reveals EXACTLY what racism is to Progmericans, living while being white.

Grok wrote, “The prevailing definition of racism in progressive academic scholarship – particularly in fields like sociology, education, critical race theory (CRT), ethnic studies, and anti-racism activism-centers on racism as a systemic phenomenon rather than merely individual prejudice or hatred. This view, dominant since the late 20th century and especially post-2010s in progressive circles, often frames racism through variations of ‘prejudice plus power’ (or ‘power + prejudice,’ sometimes stylized as R = P + P) …

Racism requires the combination of such prejudice with social, institutional, or structural power to enforce it systemically, resulting in oppression, unequal outcomes, and advantage for the dominant racial group (typically white people in Western contexts) …

It is a system of advantage/oppression based on race, often described as a ‘white supremacy system’ or hierarchy that benefits whiteness at the expense of people of color.”

If you walk out that definition, you realize the ONLY PEOPLE CAPABLE of being racist are white people in America, and the progressive will tell you the white man can’t HELP but be racist (since they invented racism in the first place, according to Progmericans), perpetually.

When the NFL puts out that label on their endzones, “End Racism,” they are creating a violent heuristic against the white race, engaging in ACTUAL systemic racism, by sending the subtle message “End the White Race,” because, to the progressive, so long as the white race lives, so does evil.

The NFL also represents the tactic of a virus that invades a cell, clones its structures, but uses them to attack the body itself. It’s red-white-and-blue American shield remains unchanged, but the principles of the league are no longer American. The NFL was an American institution, born from American values, coopted by progressives who turned the vehicle of power that is the NFL, the richest sports league in the world, bar none, and turned it into a violent vehicle of power intended to overthrow the very country that gave birth to it.

This brings us back to the Superbowl Halftime Show.

Building an American answer to the Progmericans’ hijacked NFL (the national part is Progmerican, not American anymore) is impossible, especially because many Americans, including this writer, still enjoy NFL games (though this might be the last straw for me at this point). But building an alternative to the NFL’s halftime show is NOT impossible ESPECIALLY if you have a central rallying point, which Americans thought they did in TPUSA.

We thought we had an American rallying point in Donald Trump as well, though this writer never fully supported that assumption. TPUSA is a perfect symbol of the type of power President Trump truly represents, thin Americanism, which is no real Americanism at all.

The headliner for the TPUSA halftime show was a talent-broke has-been named Kid Rock who has revitalized his dead career making thin pandering “Murica” songs that exploit hot headlines. His songs are built to make money now and never be played again (and I doubt 50 years from now ANY of the songs he wrote in this era will be remembered by anyone).

Kid Rock contrasted against Bad Bunny, a man who has genuine fans and real talent. Bad Bunny’s music isn’t remotely my cup of tea, but my gauge of the culture is he is respected as a real talent, an innovator in his genre. Kid Rock has none of that cultural power, and justifiably so.

As a result of this halftime show, Bad Bunny has a lot of political fans now as well, like Kid Rock, people who would otherwise not like his music one iota but now see it as a social power signal that needs boosted by their public displays of fandom.

Bad Bunny put a middle finger up to America and called it “love.” He sang in Spanish to symbolize the eventual conquering of white America by the global south. He did this as an American citizen, which makes this treasonous in spirit, at the very least.  I doubt Bad Bunny understands this is essentially what he did, heuristically, for he’s more an instrument of propaganda than the actual propagandists are.

Kid Rock lied to his audience right from the start by letting them believe he was performing live when he later revealed his performance was prerecorded and parts of it were even lip-synced. Hearing snippets of his songs, I heard what I expected, cartoon-simple chord progressions designed for cliched emotional effects, with lyrics a 10-year-old child of average intelligence could write.

He didn’t create art, he created art-like structures designed to give his political supporters enough suspension of disbelief that this is an art they are purchasing because they enjoy it and not what it really is, AI-music-level quality slop they’ve purchased to own the progressives at the benefit to only Kid Rock and his bank account.

I listened to excerpts of Bad Bunny’s performance, and, while it isn’t my cup of tea, I recognize art, craft, excellence in his work I doubt I will ever see again in Kid Rock’s.

The halftime shows were competing social power signals that were followed up by pushes to sell the songs connected to the shows. Kid Rock “won” that race, allegedly, and made tens of thousands of dollars (or more) I am sure will be used to fight Progmericans (note the sarcasm I intend in this sentence).

TPUSA is leaning into the cartoon-simple Murica spirit to grift off the well-meaning Americans who somehow believe if we get more views on our low-quality halftime show we will beat the progressives. If Kid Rock outsells Bad Bunny and outranks him on the music charts, AMERICA WINS, only it doesn’t. For every TPUSA halftime show viewing, the heuristic is being sent to the viewer who saw both, Progmerica is more real than America.

As a result, America’s credibility continues to decline as young people can clearly see Progmericans offer art and Americans offer Kid Rock, only Kid Rock and TPUSA are only as American as Donald Trump, which is “just barely,” and “not enough to end Progmerica.”

While TPUSA had a stage and a few dancers with the performers, Progmerica had a grand epic stage with a cast of thousands working in complex, organized, aesthetically pleasing harmonies with one another. One was slapped together; one took months to perfect. To the young, Progmerica offers a better future.

The problem as I see it is progressivism is the default moral code of MOST PEOPLE in America, including self-identifying conservatives, and DEFINITELY among self-identifying MAGAs. The most powerful counters to Progmerica today are progressive-Americans at best. Few self-stewarded Americans have any real power in this land today.

While they intellectually value individual liberty, individual rights, they operate under social justice moralities all the time. Think of how President Trump is ready to ban ALL Somalis from coming to America because of what’s going on in Minnesota. This is social justice, not American justice.

American justice would mean we assess individuals based on their individual experiences, not their social identities. President Trump is a social justice warrior, in part, though unlike Progmericans he walks more inconsistently in that he still also genuinely acts in an American justice spirit as well, as does TPUSA.

The reason for this is few people in this country fully understand what Americanism is, why it’s being threatened as a bridging standard for diverse peoples with unity, and what might be done to restore this bridging standard. Individual liberty was justified by the shared belief that an external creator has limited the power of the state to respect that creator’s sacred creations the way the creator intended.

The sacred creations are us, and self-stewardship is what the creator endows in all of us (grants us, allows us). This is free will, this is so men come to Christ consensually in love, not as automatons responding the only way they can.

This is the heart of our unity, and without it, Progmerica is fully unbounded and unmasked, and America and all its symbols will be burned, blown up, and buried, her history erased, her people forgotten (should the Progmerican project come into full fruition).

These battling Superbowl Halftime shows reveal the paltry state of America and what Americans’ next tactics should be to attempt to stem the tide of the ready-to-burst Progmerican nation that has been gestating within us for the last 100 plus years.

Americans are un-stewarded in their beliefs and thus are unaware of the progressive spirits that guide their thoughts. Progmericans can sense the time is soon for them to fully throw off the old cell their virus hijacked, and openly declare this land their own, come what may, for they may never have the chance they have now to make that happen.

COUNT THE COST OF YOUR BELIEF! Be Self-Stewarded:

‘“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.’”- Luke 14:26-30

The concentration of oppositional power is currently in the hands of grifting opportunists like TPUSA and narcissistic madmen like Donald Trump, who equates American greatness with material bounty, not spiritual soundness that binds authority, so the individual does not disappear in the social.

If you agree with that assessment, then you might agree that it is time for Americans to give up the institutions (for now) they cannot duplicate, including the ones that only Progressive-infested “conservatives” can duplicate. Sponsoring the pallid progressive-American imitations only supports Progmerica in the end.

It’s time for Americans to recognize what “social justice” really means so they can understand when they hear it in the mouths of conservatives like Trump, who slips into social justice spirits all the time.

Ideally, the Holy Spirit delivers us through a great revival of the fear and love of the Lord. This miraculous delivery would preserve Americanism under the previous justification, that the state cannot take authority over men that God himself has chosen not to. Free will must be preserved lest you be spitting into the face of God.

Outside of that, our bridging standard can only be justified pragmatically, amongst competing groups that agree they will limit their efforts to make their neighbors in their own image in exchange for being allowed to openly be wrong in public space. This agreement can only be made among groups that have no mandate to use violence to win converts or punish the unbeliever. It cannot include the groups that cannot come to this agreement.

We should remove ourselves from fellowships from groups and individuals that reject our Americanism, in whole or in part (as TPUSA and Trump do) and seek out fellowships with groups and individuals brave enough to allow themselves to lose a fair war of ideas against their neighbor.

This means we simply must sacrifice our pleasures, our joys that cannot be met by Americans. This includes America’s college and NFL football entertainment, for both are now vehicles of power of Progmerica, enemies of our republic, a republic that still lives within the hearts of we remaining Americans.

We cannot give up necessities provided by Progmericans or Progressive Americans, but we CAN give up the pleasures, the joys they alone provide us.

Bad Bunny and Kid Rock are competing for personal power disguised as causal power. They are both exploiting emotions, but Bad Bunny is providing the better product because, in part, his art is aligned with his Progmerican values while Kid Rock walks in both Progmerica and America, equally, completely oblivious to his un-stewarded habits of being that operate in progressive values, not American ones.

Neither man represents the rock of Americanism, individual liberty, but the Progmericans are TRUER to themselves than the “Americans” are, and as such are bound to produce a better product. Passion alone makes them better. They are both bad rocks performing bad rock (with Kid Rock’s being far worse).

This is not to say there aren’t Americans out there producing great art reflective of self-stewarded American values, it’s only to say that these Americans have been frozen out of the top slots of entertainment power by the Progmericans on one side, and the Kid Rockians on the other side, the progressive Americans (which are BARELY American at all).

Signs within China point to instability continuing in the wake of Chairman Xi’s recent purge of an attempted coup that appears to have been led by the-then second most powerful man in China, Zhang Youxia. Zhang was well-respected by the military, and they appear willing to send public signals they continue to support him.

That signal came through their newspaper, the Liberation Army Daily, which featured an article signaling support for an historic figure like Zhang Youxia, Zhang Guotao, who broke with Mao Zedong in the 30s. This was the first of six similar articles released following the reported arrest of Zhang Youxia.

Xi Jinping Has Turned China’s Military Against Him, and the Party’s Own Newspaper Proves It  Vision Times
from news.google.com

On Feb. 11, the Liberation Army Daily, the official newspaper of China’s military, published yet another article invoking Zhang Guotao, a founding member of the Chinese Communist Party who broke with Mao Zedong in the 1930s and is remembered in Party mythology as the archetype of treachery and “splitting the Party and the army.” The article accused Zhang Guotao of “carrying out activities to split the Party and the Red Army,” language that transparently targets two recently purged military leaders: Zhang Youxia, the former vice chairman of China’s top military command body (the Central Military Commission), and Liu Zhenli, the former chief of the Joint Staff Department, China’s most senior operational military commander.

This was the sixth such article since Jan.16, the date that online sources say Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli were physically detained, eight days before their purge was officially announced on Jan. 24. All six articles share a revealing pattern: every one of them invokes the historical villain Zhang Guotao, and every one of them avoids mentioning Zhang Youxia or Liu Zhenli by name. The gap between the fury of the rhetoric and the absence of the actual targets’ names speaks volumes about how politically explosive these purges remain.

The six articles, with their dates and titles, are:

President Trump has been moving more U.S. military assets, including carrier groups, into the Persian Gulf region as he threatens war with Iran while continuing to engage diplomatically with Iran. China and Russia have participated in a joint military exercise with Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. At home, the President faces a potential congressional challenge to his authority to start a war with Iran. While protests continue sporadically in Iran, and reports of explosions continue to leak out, the regime appears fully in charge as it continues to slaughter the opposition.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iran and the United States leaned into gunboat diplomacy Thursday as nuclear talks between the nations hung in the balance, with Tehran holding drills with Russia and the Americans bringing another aircraft carrier closer to the Mideast.

The Iranian drill and the arrival of the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier near the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea underscore the tensions between the nations. Iran earlier this week also launched a drill that involved live-fire in the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow opening of the Persian Gulf through which a fifth of the world’s traded oil passes.

The movements of additional American warships and airplanes don’t guarantee a U.S. strike on Iran — but it does give President Donald Trump the ability to carry out one should he choose to do so. He’s so far held off on striking Iran after setting red lines over the killing of peaceful protesters and Tehran holding mass executions, while reengaging Tehran in nuclear talks earlier disrupted by the Iran-Israel war in June.

“Should Iran decide not to make a Deal, it may be necessary for the United States to use Diego Garcia, and the Airfield located in Fairford, in order to eradicate a potential attack by a highly unstable and dangerous Regime,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social website, seeking to pressure the United Kingdom over its plans to settle the future of the Chagos Islands with Mauritius.

Meanwhile, Iran struggles with unrest at home following its crackdown on protests, with mourners now holding ceremonies honoring their dead 40 days after their killing by security forces. Some of the gatherings have included anti-government cries, despite threats from authorities.

The drill Thursday saw Iranian forces and Russian sailors conduct operations in the Gulf of Oman and the Indian Ocean, Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency reported. The drill will be aimed at “upgrading operational coordination as well as exchange of military experiences,” IRNA added.

China had joined the “Security Belt” drill in previous years, but there was no acknowledgment it participated in this round. In recent days, a vessel that appeared to be a Steregushchiy-class Russian corvette had been seen at a military port in the Iranian city of Bandar Abbas.

Iran also issued a rocket-fire warning to pilots in the region, suggesting they planned to launch anti-ship missiles in the exercise.

Meanwhile, tracking data showed the Ford off the coast of Morocco in the Atlantic Ocean midday Wednesday, meaning the carrier could transit through Gibraltar and potentially station in the eastern Mediterranean with its supporting guided-missile destroyers.

Having the carrier there could allow American forces to have extra aircraft and anti-missile power to potentially protect Israel and Jordan should a conflict break out with Iran. The U.S. similarly placed warships there during the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip to protect against Iranian fire.

Mourning ceremonies for those killed by security forces in the protests last month also have increased. Iranians traditionally mark the death of a loved one 40 days after the loss. Both witnesses and social media videos showed memorials taking place at Tehran’s massive Behesht-e Zahra cemetery. Some memorials included people chanting against Iran’s theocracy while singing nationalistic songs.

The demonstrations began Dec. 28 at Tehran’s historic Grand Bazaar, initially over the collapse of Iran’s currency, the rial, then spread across the country. Tensions exploded on Jan. 8, with demonstrations called for by Iran’s exiled crown prince, Reza Pahlavi.

Iran’s government has offered only one death toll for the violence, with 3,117 people killed. The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency, which has been accurate in previous rounds of unrest in Iran, puts the death toll at over 7,000 killed, with many more feared dead.

Britain and France have made the first major arrests connected to the Epstein Files while the U.S.’s Department of Justice has announced there are no more files to release, and no more redactions to be unredacted. The highest profile arrest is in the UK where former Prince Andrew was arrested. At home, former Trump strategist Steve Bannon has taken the biggest hit, with emails and texts suggesting he was working to help Epstein overcome his broken image AFTER he was convicted of pedophile-related charges. Bannon has denied the characterization.

What we are beginning to suspect the reason the Trump administration continues to protect the truth from coming out is that the damage to the U.S. and Israel would be so great that our “leaders” believe hiding such an abominable truth would somehow be a better outcome. We note that in the Old Testament prophets, the two great sins charged against Judah and Israel were child sacrifice and whoredom. The truth behind the Epstein Files reveals an international class of “leaders” who have been engaging in both at the most extreme, darkest depths of both whoredom and child sacrifice.

Giuffre family thanks police over former Prince Andrew’s arrest: “Our broken hearts have been lifted” – cbsnews.com

The family of Virginia Giuffre, who alleged she was trafficked to engage in sex with former Prince Andrew when she was a teenager, thanked British police on Thursday after his arrest for suspected misconduct in public office.

“At last, today, our broken hearts have been lifted at the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty,” Giuffre’s siblings said in a statement shared with CBS News.

“On behalf of our sister, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, we extend our gratitude to the U.K.’s Thames Valley Police for their investigation, and the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor,” Sky and Amanda Roberts and Danny and Lanette Wilson said. “He was never a prince. For survivors everywhere, Virginia did this for you.”

Giuffre, an American who was one of the most outspoken accusers of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, died by suicide last year at 41. She accused Mountbatten-Windsor — former Prince Andrew — of assaulting her on three separate occasions when she was 17, which he has denied.

  1. JAPAN GOES CONSERVATIVE AFTER LANDSLIDE ELECTION BURIES THE LEFT – A new Japan is about to emerge that is sure to frighten China after a landslide victory by Japan’s conservative party leaves leftists with only 5 seats in the parliament. The victory is credited to Japan’s Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, who appeared to take a risk by calling for a snap election soon after her party appointed her Prime Minister.

The gamble has paid off, leaving conservatives with a super majority that will most likely alter Japan’s passivist constitution. One of the major changes expected is ending Japan’s self-imposed limitations on military spending and operations. President Trump congratulated the PM, sharing on Truth Social, “Congratulations to Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and her Coalition on a LANDSLIDE Victory in today’s very important Vote. She is a highly respected and very popular Leader. Sanae’s bold and wise decision to call for an Election paid off big time.”

AS UNEMPLOYMENT DROPS, SURGE IN JOBS SHOWS ECONOMY POISED FOR TAKEOFF – The U.S. created 130,000 jobs in January 2026 according to the Department of Labor, which is twice the number of jobs predicted to be created. The unemployment rate has also fallen to 4.3%. The jobs gains are all the stronger because, during this time there was a net loss in Government jobs of 34,000.
  2. DETRANSITIONER’S LAWSUIT VICTORY SETS PRECEDENT TRANS DOCTORS MIGHT NOT SURVIVE – At the end of last month, a malpractice lawsuit was ruled on that opens the door for more challenges to the medical industry’s rush to push patience into transgender surgeries and chemical “therapies.” The lawsuit awarded a 16-year-old girl $2 million for being hastened into life-altering “therapies.” After a couple of weeks have followed, the ruling appears to be setting off a potential wave of new lawsuits by more detransitioners that could price most transgender treatments out of the market.

More lawsuits could bankrupt transgender therapy programs that aggressively pushed the therapies by not clearly letting their patients know the cost of transitioning and also by lowering the previous standards for determining if this type of treatment is needed after all.

CALIFORNIA’S ICE UNMASKING LAW CRUSHED BY CLINTON JUDGE – After California Governor Gavin Newsome (D) signed an illegal law forcing ICE agents to be unmasked to make it easier for his army of antifa revolutionaries to hunt and murder them, he was immediately shut down by Clinton-appointed U.S. District Judge Christian Snyder. The so-called “No Secret Police” act aims to help the DNC’s secret and street police, ANTIFA, enforce their unconstitutional “laws.” The judge says the law unfairly discriminates against Federal officers.

The judge did not address the underlying insurrectionist spirit behind the violent law. Attorney General Pam Bondi said of the ruling, “Law enforcement officers risk their lives every day to keep Americans safe, and they do not deserve to be doxed or harassed simply for carrying out their duties. California’s anti-law enforcement policies discriminate against the federal government and are designed to create risk for our agents.”

  1. DEI DYING IN CORPORATE BOARDROOMS, EXTREME LEFT ORG REPORTS – The far-left anti-human extortion group, Human Rights Campaign, is waving a red flag to alert its far-left anti-human base that their ideology of hate, fear, and fake hope, DEI, is dying. The organization reports only 131 Fortune 500 companies are participating in their extortion questionnaire called the “Corporate Equity Index.” The Index reads as demands, not questions, when you understand what HRC does, with the aid of the DNC-CCP and its corporate allies, to those who do not comply with their demands.
  2. ANTIFA LEADER ARRESTED BY DOJ – An Antifa leader, Kyle Wagner, 37, was arrested and charged with making federal threats and cyberstalking. The arrest comes after the Antifa leader proclaimed on numerous livestreams his intentions to start an open war against ICE. AG Pam Bondi said of the arrest, “This man allegedly doxxed and called for the murder of law enforcement officers, encouraged bloodshed in the streets, and proudly claimed affiliation with the terrorist organization Antifa before going on the run.”
  3. BIDEN’S MASS-MIGRANT PAROLE PROGRAM KILLED FOR 15 YEARS – The criminal use of the Department of Homeland Security’s parole authority to broadly allow mass undocumented invasion by foreigners has been struck down by Federal Judge T. Kent Wetherell. The judge oversaw a settlement with the State of Florida that bans the Biden loophole from being allowed to be used again by any administration within 15 years of the signing of the agreement.
  4. BENGHAZI ATTACK “MASTERMIND” CAPTURED – 14 years after the attack on a U.S. Embassy in Benghazi, Libya that left four Americans dead, the alleged mastermind of the attack, Zubayar al-Bakoush, has been arrested and transferred to American soil where he will face numerous charges in an American court, including first degree murder.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced, “In 2012, Islamist terrorists carried out an horrific attack on a U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya, murdering four Americans: Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods, and Glen Doherty. For 14 years, their families suffered through the pain of devastating loss with no accountability,” Gabbard said. “President Donald Trump made clear that honoring their sacrifice to our nation meant accountability, and today one of the terrorists behind this attack will finally be brought to justice.”

  1. THE SAME WAPO EMPLOYEES THAT FUELED THE FLAMES OF CANCEL CULTURE ARE NOW CALLING THEIR FIRINGS “ILLEGAL” – The union representing the fired employees of the Washington Post is giving schadenfreude fans great grist as they claim the firings of the cancel brigade is “illegal.” The union declared, “When they came to work this morning — to continue the jobs they were hired to do — they were blocked from entering the building. Our members are still employees. We are in Status Quo, which means that these layoffs are illegal. Last night after working hours, our members who are being targeted for layoffs by the Washington Post were locked out of their work devices, platforms, and the Post building.”

The post reflects their fundamental lack of understanding of American law and their communist ignorance regarding PRIVATE PROPERTY. Their sense of socialist entitlement created a mask-off moment that Americans could clearly witness, only to resume with their lives, comforted with the fact that one Cancel Culture terror machine has been gutted from within. This is hardly enough to fully address the criminal actions of the DNC criminal media, but it is yet another major blow to the information terror machine of the DNC-CCP.

  1. BACKLASH FORCES AXIOS TO CHANGE INFO TERROR HEADLINE INTENDED TO INCITE VIOLENCE AGAINST ICE AGENTS – A recent Axios’ headline suggests that crime fell at historic levels in major U.S. cities “despite” Trump’s “crackdown,” not because of it. The headline was designed to protect the criminal press’ narrative that ICE agents are unconstitutional paramilitary Nazis destroying the nation.

To protect that libelous narrative, Americans are being gaslit to believe that somehow ICE agents are still sources of violence, not mostly preventers of it. The readers reacted so overwhelmingly that even the criminal terror outfit Axios had to retreat from its mask-off moment. This is our first documented incident of the Insurrectionist press being brought to heel by its own readership.

INTRODUCTION

Canada was struck with the news of a mass shooting that left 8 victims dead, and scores more injured. The dead included five students from the location of the second part of the mass shooting, Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, near Vancouver, Canada.

The shooter would then turn the gun on himself.

The motive for the shooting, so far, remains unclear. The shooter, Jesse van Rootselaar, was originally reported as a female shooter, but it would later be revealed “she” was a male presenting as a female.

It might turn out the motive for the shooting had nothing to do with the shooter’s transgenderism, but we suggest you could rightly assume it had something to do with it, though we would not recommend you make that conclusion until more information comes out (which might have by the time this report is published).

For this bellwether analysis, we want to look at this event in the context of Canada’s current governing spirit. We will bracket off the motive. What we want to consider is the promise Canada has offered to Canadians, that if they lay down their arms and shut their mouths in submission to the state orthodoxy, their lives will be safe from hate. Lose your guns, lose your tongues, and you will be safer.

They gave up Christ in the public square in part to protect the very person that murdered their children.

A. THE DETAILS

On February 10, 2026, 18-year-old Jesse van Rootselaar kicked off a killing spree in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, Canada. He killed his mother and his stepbrother at his residence, with a young female relative escaping. She ran to a neighbor to seek help, who then alerted the police. The shooting happened at 2:20PM. The police did not arrive until 15 minutes later.

While the police were going to the residence, Rootselaar was on his way to the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, with a shotgun and a modified handgun. The school is a gun-free zone. There was no armed security. There were no armed teachers.

By the time the Rootselaar arrived at the school it was 2:30PM, just 10 minutes after he killed his mother and stepbrother. The shooting was reported at 2:32 PM, another team of officers arrived two minutes later. By the time the officers who were called to his residence arrived, he was already dead in the school.

Rootselaar would have just 4 minutes to do his worst. His victims were powerless to stop him. The police were also powerless to stop him. By the time they arrived, Rootselaar was already dead by suicide, but so were six others, one adult teacher and five students (three females and two males aged 12-17). Along with the dead were 27 more injured, mostly students.

The motivation for the killings is not clear, but Rootselaar has a years-long history of causing disturbances at his home, some of which involved firearms. At one point, law enforcement confiscated the weapons, but later returned them after a petition was started. The firearms do not appear to be owned by Rootselaar, however.

Rootselaar began the process of “transitioning” to a “female” four to six years ago (we have conflicting information on this point), at the age of 13. He was on anti-psychotic drugs, in addition to transitioning drugs at the time of the shooting. His transgendered status was concealed from the public as long as it could be by both the Canadian government and the international corporatist press.

While the motive is not clear, the presence of anti-psychotic drugs in the shooter has become a tragically well-earned trope of mass shootings that this event follows as well. His transgenderism as a factor is ambiguous, though one wonders if the transgender “solution” was masking a much deeper problem transitioning only made worse (as this writer suspects is happening a lot in the age of trans mania).

B. THE IMMEDIATE REPORTING

We asked Grok to give us the headlines that were immediately shared by the international corporatist press after the shooting, and Grok’s answer revealed these cherry-picked headlines:

  • CBC News: “10 dead, including suspect, following shooting in Tumbler Ridge
  • The Globe and Mail: “Ten killed, including suspect, in mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C.”
  • Vancouver Sun: “LIVE: Nine dead, 27 injured in mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge
  • National Post: “Canada in shock after one of the country’s worst mass shootings
  • CTV News: “C. RCMP give an update in their investigation into a mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge
  • BBC News: “At least seven dead after school shooting in British Columbia, Canada, police say
  • The Guardian: “Canada shooting: 10 dead including suspect in attack on Tumbler Ridge high school, police say

All of these answers provided a pretty generic telling of the event, but what Grok gave me was not indicative of the REAL spirit international corporatist media chose to operate within.

After these headlines, Grok started listing headlines acknowledging the shooter was transgendered. Grok would leave one with the impression the international corporatist media acted responsibly, with no political agenda. However, that was not reality; we believe that was programming protecting the disenfranchised class over simply answering a question truthfully.

Here are some of the headlines we found when we did time-based searches:

  • Collingwood Today – “‘Beyond devastating’: 10 dead, including female suspect, in B.C. school shooting
  • MSN – “10 dead, including female suspect, in ‘devastating’ shootings at BC school and home.”
  • MSN – “Female Identified as Suspect in Worst Canada School Shooting in Decades That Killed 10 and Injured at Least 25
  • Reuters – “Ten dead, including female suspect, after Canada school shooting – as it happened

A Royal Mounted Police officer at a press conference just after the shooting referred to the shooter as a “woman.”

C. THE BACKGROUND

We have created a special news tag in our aggregation process called “Canada Soviet” to tag all the stories that cover Canada’s lurch into authoritarianism. A trans person in Canada has more personal power as a normal private citizen than most people have in America today. A trans person in Canada cannot have their identity challenged. A trans person in Canada can destroy competition with a false accusation that won’t dare be challenged lest the challenger face hate speech charges.

You can call Christ the devil in public, but you can’t call abortion murder.

As for guns, Canada has effectively criminalized gun defense, along with most gun possessions. The shooter violated Canada’s gun laws, yet was able to accomplish his dark deed, nonetheless.

  1. LEGAL TRANS PRIVILEGE – In June of 2017 Canada introduced the now-famous bill C-16, which launched psychologist Jordan Peterson into the stratosphere as he stood as one of the few Canadians warning against the intolerance pregnant in this bill.

The bill was an amendment to Canada’s Orwellian-named Human Rights Act, which sought to limit liberty in the name of protecting the disenfranchised from being insulted in public. This amendment added “gender identity or expression” as a protected expression that ALL Canadians must comply with, regardless of whether they believed men could become women or not.

The Criminal Code already protected certain groups from what it calls “hate propaganda.” This bill added transgenders to that protected class. In other words, it de facto ennobled the transgender class as a protected class that should no longer be expected to hear opinions that invalidated their assertions that a man could become a woman, a woman could be a man, or that genders even existed at all. If they said it, you better parrot it, end stop.

In January 2022, a bill that was passed in 2021 took effect, Bill C-4. That bill made it illegal to attempt to persuade anyone, including children, that they should be heterosexual or “cis” gendered (a pejorative attempting to both vilify conventional binary gender constructions and invalidate them).

The fact that the bill included a phrase most humans would consider hate speech at this point, “cis gendered” shows the futility in allowing the state to define what “hate” is (as if hate, in and of itself, is a bad thing, unless you want to argue that hating murder is evil).

These are the two major acts, though provinces and local governments have their own “protections” for the ennobled trans class (except in the case of Alberta, which seems to be fighting back against the ennobled trans class).

ED. NOTE: While we join our readers in their concern over “trans mania,” we hold the view that some people might very well need transgender “therapy.” We also want to make it clear the evidence for the rise in trans violence is ambiguous. The majority of transgendered people should not be stigmatized by the minority ‘bad actors.’ We believe in individual justice, not social justice, and that applies to transgendered people as well.

2. ANTI-GUN LAWS – Canada has some of the strictest anti-gun laws in the nation. It began in 1995, one year before the UK began the process of surrendering their guns.

The Firearms Act of 1995 added a host of new requirements for gun ownership, which included licensing, background checks, safety training, and rules that effectively made it illegal to use your gun to defend yourself in your own home (outside of the most bizarre circumstances).

The only non-restricted weapons Canadians can currently own are bolt-action rifles and pump action shotguns. Any weapon capable of semi-automatic firing is highly restricted or prohibited altogether.

In 2022, Canada’s Bill C-21 took effect, which put a freeze on the sale, purchase, transfer, or import of handguns. It also ended ALL conceal carry for civilians, with some limited open carry allowances which basically allowed Canadians to hunt with their non-semi-automatic long guns.

While an unidentified adult in his household was legally able to possess the firearms the shooter used to kill 8 people, the shooter was not. The shooter violated multiple gun laws, appeared to use limited-action firearms (still unconfirmed), and was yet able to kill 8 people and himself in the span of 14 minutes, and that included the time it took him to get to the school from his residence.

  1. ANTI-SPEECH LAWS – During our research, we used Grok to search for Canada’s anti-speech laws. Grok began its results for me with this dystopian, unreal statement: “Freedom of expression in Canada is protected as a fundamental freedom under section 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (part of the Constitution Act, 1982). This includes freedom of thought, belief, opinion, expression, and the press and other media of communication.”

What followed next was a complete disconnect from that opening statement.

Grok would “clarify,” not realizing (or being allowed to realize) that this next statement wholly invalidates the first one and makes Grok read like an Orwellian propagandist delivering the new definitions of the day and the new list of friends and enemies.

Grok “clarified,” “However, these rights are not absolute. Section 1 of the Charter allows ‘reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.’ Courts apply the Oakes test to assess such limits, requiring the objective to be pressing/substantial, the means rationally connected and minimally impairing, and the benefits outweighing the harm.”

Grok also buried the lead. In 1985, C-46 was passed, which created a new Criminal Code called “Hate Propaganda and Related Offences.” This bill was challenged in the courts where it was “validated” by their Supreme Court on numerous cases, the two key ones being R. v. Keegstra (1990) and Saskatchewan (Human Rights Commission) v. Whatcott (2013).

Here are some of the vaguer, and thus more disturbing parts of the criminal code (from Grok):

Section 319(1): Public incitement of hatred – Communicating statements in a public place that incite hatred against an identifiable group where likely to lead to a breach of the peace (up to 2 years).

Section 319(2): Wilful promotion of hatred – Communicating statements (other than in private conversation) that wilfully promote hatred against an identifiable group (up to 2 years). Defences include truth, public interest discussion, good faith religious opinion (under subsection 319(3)(b)), and good faith belief on religious grounds.

Section 319(2.1): Wilful promotion of antisemitism – Specifically condoning, denying, or downplaying the Holocaust (added in recent amendments; up to 2 years).

Had the shooter lived, he might “enjoy” the “extra” protections his ennobled class might soon receive should Bill C-9 pass. This bill hopes to remove religious exemptions from speech restrictions, as well as add new offenses for displaying hate symbols. It also seeks to eliminate the need for the Attorney General to consent to speech violation prosecutions. In other words, they want more people to be subject to their thought control, and they want to make it EASIER to prosecute them.

D. BELLWETHER ANALYSIS

  1. NOTE: This is a new feature we have created. Unlike a PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS, this type of analysis is about understanding the context of the “present,” not predicting what might come next. Unlike a SUMMARY, it is not simply a synthesis of the facts as a review, it is an analysis of the spirit of the whole event as a bellwether.

A somewhat simplistic, but mostly accurate timeline of events will show the kernel of Wokeness was most closely created by the Frankfurt School starting in the early 20s. The kernel of wokeness was born in Europe.

Under the label, “critical theory,” the notion of social justice over economic justice began to emerge. By the 60s, American leftists decided to exploit that path, having realized capitalism wasn’t going to collapse anytime soon, and, unlike their predictions, was continuing to offer greater prosperity to more people in society than communism ever did (or would).

Wokeness, long before we used the term, was infiltrating American academia, which in turn spread its wokeness to other nations. As it infiltrated direct government power, the American state began to export wokeness to the rest of the world. They offered cash to the compliant and interference (to put it mildly) to the non-compliant.

Unfortunately for Canada, they got our wokeness in spades. As our next-door neighbor, Canada was most affected by the U.S.’s new woke promotions.

In America, the battle for the spirit of the land continues, with wokeness currently taking major hits (but hardly dead). In other countries like Canada, the UK, and Australia, wokeness has ended their status as a traditional Western “democratic” power. There is no free speech in any of these lands.

Wokeness may have started in Europe, but America gave it international strength, poisoning the rest of the world with an ideology that hates its citizens. Yet, America is still holding out while the others seem to have fallen (at least for now).

Why is that? It is because America’s right to rule is based on the premise that we are endowed by an authority outside the state with certain rights, rights that enable us to define and choose our own paths to happiness and prosperity.

Canada and Australia are no longer directly under the rule of the British crown, so the monarchy does not justify their rule. For these two countries, the right to rule is from “popular sovereignty,” the approval of the people, which is just mob rule with extra steps if that is your own right to rule principle.

In Britian, the monarch is the final authority, not God, so there are no absolute restrictions on government power.

Canada, Australia, and Britain all quickly gutted the public of guns starting around the same time, the late 90s, as it became apparent that technology was beginning to advantage small-scale resistance over large-scale conquest.

After the guns fell, the tongue followed behind, in all three countries, with Canada and the UK fighting neck-and-neck to be the most Soviet western nation of them all.

Now, here Canadians sit, having been promised security in exchange for surrendering dangerous freedom but getting neither. They sit in a world in which the press and the government must lie about the basic facts of a shooter to protect a special class of people from free tongues, enslaving all, including the special class (which are now desperately dependent on the state to protect them from mean thoughts, a protection they’ve been propagandized to militantly expect).

The “security” through disarming your neighbors’ guns and tongues has made Canada fundamentally less safe than it was before. A madman grew up among them, indulged by the system, protected from reality (you have a mental illness, you’re not a girl), and medically conditioned to be predisposed to even greater psychotic breaks with reality.

While children’s bodies were yet cold, the “authorities” were doubling down on the toxic lie that this boy was a girl. They were probably more frightened of the authorities sending them to jail for violating the psychotic safe space of transgendered people than they were of anything that happened at that school.

This bellwether event shows what happens when a government is too afraid of its citizens to let them have the tools to defend their children from a 4-minute execution by a mentally ill child indulged by the same system that took Canadians’ guns away. They created the beast and they disarmed its victims.

For we Americans, this should compel us even more to resist any effort to confiscate our guns. Vast swathes of American land are occupied by Progmerican overlords who seek to do to us what Canada has done to its citizens, disarm us while they raise beasts to kill us.

  1. EARLY ON, TRUMP WANTED EPSTEIN, MAXWELL PROSECUTED, RECORDS SHOW – Epstein court documents reveal President Trump was one of the first people to raise an alarm about Jeffrey Epstein. He did so in 2006 when he called the police to recommend that they investigate Jeffrey Epstein AND Gislaine Maxwell, whom he called evil. The transcript of the phone call reveals Trump suspected Maxwell of being Epstein’s “operative.” He also called her “evil.” The call happened shortly after the Epstein investigation began.
  2. AMERICA, UK LEADERSHIP STILL UNDER INCREASING EPSTEIN FILES SCRUTINY – Pam Bondi’s showdown with U.S. congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) highlights the growing GOP divide between those who think there’s something serious to the Epstein Files and those who don’t. President Trump’s disconnect from this issue appears to be leading his strongest supporters to want to follow the lead.

Thomas Massie isn’t the only congressmember pressing for a full disclose of the people involved in the “alleged” child sex trafficking and blackmailing for real political power ring, including Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Nancy Mace (R-SC), both of whom claim to have seen some of the unredacted names, names that are still powerful and well-known today.

Also connected to the Epstein files is the growing scandal in the UK that continues to threaten their Prime Minster, Keir Starmer, who continues to hold on even as top members of his cabinet have been forced to resign. His connection to the Epstein files is through allowing members of his cabinet, including his hand-picked U.S. ambassador, to continue to serve in government even after he KNEW they stayed connected to Epstein AFTER his conviction, a fact they had lied about to the public (but not to Starmer).

  1. XI SURVIVES COUP ATTEMPT, MAKES FIRST PUBLIC ADDRESS OF THE PURGE THAT FOLLOWED – Chairman Xi of China has finally publicly addressed the purge of most of his military leaders and political “allies” in response to what appears to have been a coup attempt by his second-in-command, Zhang Youxia. He addressed the military, stating, “The past year has been unusual and extraordinary, The People’s Army has deepened its political education, effectively addressed various risks and challenges and undergone revolutionary forging in the fight against corruption.”

While Xi has survived the coup, mobilizations within China suggest he has yet to fully restore stability. So far, none of the top spots have been replaced by anyone else. The purge leaves the military without seasoned Generals, and one of the few who has experienced combat, Youxia, is among the Generals that have been purged. As of right now, the conditions in China are still fluid by our assessment.

  1. AFTER CARTEL DRONE ATTACK, MEXICO APPROVES OF U.S. TROOPS ON THEIR SOIL – According to U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy, the FAA had to avert a serious cartel drone attack on U.S. soil. The FAA shut down airspace around El Paso immediately to allow for a military response to the attack. The Secretary said “The FAA and DOW acted swiftly to address a cartel drone incursion. The threat has been neutralized, and there is no danger to commercial travel in the region. The restrictions have been lifted and normal flights are resuming.”

After the attack, Mexico’s government passed legislation signed by President Sheinbaum that will allow U.S. troops to enter Mexico to go after the cartels. The vote in the Senate was 105 for, 0 against, and one abstention. The ruling specifically allows U.S. Navy SEALs to operate on their territory in pursuit of the drug cartels.

FOREIGN NATIONALS ARE FUNDING DNC INSURRECTIONIST OPERATIONS THROUGH NON-PROFIT FRAUD – Witnesses testifying at a House Ways and Means Committee hearing are claiming that foreign nationals are illegally sending millions (if not billions) of dollars to bankroll DNC insurrectionist organizations.

Capital Research Center President Scott Walker said of the testimonies, “It’s refreshing to have a hearing where all witnesses share strong agreement on a central point, namely, foreign money should be kept out of American politics. A lot of these [foreign funding] problems involve America’s nonprofit sector, which is traditionally a glory and a strength of this exceptional country. But foreigners abuse this sector — especially tools like fiscal sponsorship and donor-advised funds, which aren’t inherently bad things — in order to hide their influence ops.”

GUN-FREE CANADA HIT WITH SCHOOL MASS MURDER BY MALE PRESENTING AS FEMALE – A Canadian transgendered male who transitioned to female has killed 9 people and injured 25 more others, with the bulk of the killings and injuries happening at the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School. The school is a few minutes outside of Vancouver, Canada.

The police were there within 2 minutes, but the shooter had already killed 6 people at the school, then he killed himself. The school was not armed. Citizens are not allowed to effectively possess guns for self-defense in Canada anymore.

  1. PBS PANEL ACCUSES “HITLERIAN” ICE OF PLOTTING TO STEAL 2026 ELECTION – PBS led the charge in insurrectionist propaganda this week when it left Boston Globe Columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr and Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker essentially spin a conspiracy theory that the Hitlerian ICE agents are going to make sure the Republicans win the 2026 midterms and finalize their fascist masterplan. This week was filled with DNC criminal media info-terrorist attacks on Americans. No arrests have been made, so far.

Stohr threw out the libelous invective. She claimed, “… I’m concerned about call—not denying that ICE will show up at election stations, that the call for this increasing redistricting, mid-decade redistricting in states in order to try to game the system. Elections are supposed to be sacred in any functioning democracy. And that the president of the United States is the one making the call to disparage them and try to rig the system is really alarming.”

Parker added to the info-terrorist attack in what we believe is her effort to signal to the DNC’s Antifa Army to continue their murderous assault on American ICE agents, “ “And he can’t let it go because I think he’s taken a page from Mein Kampf, frankly, you know, the saying that if you say—tell a big lie often enough and repeat it, then people will believe it. And the theory was further refined by the propaganda head in Nazi Germany, Mr. Joseph Goebbels. And the idea is, apparently, it’s true that—they would know, I guess—that people will believe a big lie quicker than they will believe a small lie.”

NATURALIZED “CITIZEN” DEMOCRAT POLITICIAN THREATENS TO ARREST AMERICANS IF PROGMERICANS WIN BACK THE WHITE HOUSE – Foreign-born naturalized citizen U.S. representative Shri Thanedar (D) made it clear to Americans if his foreign-favoring party, the DNC-CCP, wins back the White House in 2028, the GOP will face arrests.

He struggled in broken English, sounding like a CCP Chairman excoriating his American enemy, threatening the Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott, yelling, “You better hope you get pardoned because you will be held accountable for the absolute disregard of the law your agencies have shown over the past year. Your agencies have lost the trust of the American people, with millions taking to the streets to protect the illegal actions of your agencies. And that’s why I introduce a bill in the United States Congress to abolish ICE. ICE must be abolished.”

The DNC’s House leader, Hakeem Jeffries, echoed this violent threat, saying, “One thing to understand as people who are flirting with the Trump administration, or doing the bidding of the Trump administration, or engaging in the pay-to-play schemes of the Trump administration: The statute of limitations is five years. Donald Trump and this toxic administration will be long gone, but there will still be accountability to be had.”

The CCP has sentenced the freedom fighter and newspaper publisher Jimmy Lai to 20 years in prison. Lai is 78 years old, so the sentence is seen as a de facto death sentence. The judge gave him the harsh sentence because he accused Lai of being the mastermind behind the resistance to the CCP’s infiltration of Hong Kong.

  1. CANADA WANTS TO CRIMINALIZE FAMILY CONFLICT – Soviet Canada is looking to pass a bill that will essentially equip leftists to get their family members arrested if they don’t agree with their anti-human ideology. Bill C-16, the “Protecting Victims Act” would create a new classification of “crime” called “coercive or controlling conduct.” The bill appears to be intended to force Canadians to comply with the party’s orthodoxy at home or else be turned into the police by your own family members. The bill should be renamed the Secret Police bill.

Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis warned his constituents of the dark bill, telling them, “Do you think the government should criminalize everyday interactions in your home with your family? If not, you should read Bill C-16. The bill creates new offences… which are deeply concerning for normal, loving family interactions, based on a ‘pattern of coercive or controlling conduct,’ even when no violence, threats, or illegal acts occur. It criminalizes a pattern of otherwise lawful and often common behaviour that may later be perceived as threatening by an intimate partner.”

  1. PROGMERICAN JUDGE CUTS RAPIST-KIDNAPPER’S SENTENCE BECAUSE HE’S BLACK – Progmerican Judge Tracy Davis cut a rapist’s sentence in half because he is in African American. The judge cut a 65-year sentence down to 32 years for the convicted rapist kidnapper because he’s a “poor black man.” This is after he told her “I don’t have sympathy for nobody. I don’t have sympathy for you, the victim, the victim’s family, I don’t care. Boo hoo.”

  1. TEXAS HOUSE DEM EXPOSES RACIST IDEOLOGY OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY Racist Texas House Democrat Gene Wu went on a tirade on a podcast where he made it clear he hates the white race and wants a new nation ruled by POCs at the expense of the whites. The insurrectionist Progmerican said, “The day the Latino, African American, Asian and other communities realize that they share the same oppressor is the day we start winning, because we are the majority in this country now, we have the ability to take over this country and to do what is needed for everyone and to make things fairer.”

“If Balak should give me his house full of silver and gold, I would not be able to go beyond the word of the Lord, to do either good or bad of my own will. What the Lord speaks, that will I speak? And now, behold, I am going to my people. Come, I will let you know what this people will do to your people in the latter days.”-

Numbers 24:13-14

INTRODUCTION

Just as we were wrapping up our monthly MIA report for January 2026, news broke that the Department of Justice had released over 3 million documents related to the massive conspiracy surrounding the now-deceased Jeffrey Epstein. This was a sort of prophetic utterance on the land from the highest echelons of power. It was meant for a curse, a curse by omission. It kept the black hole mystery alive but offered no clear justice. It keeps the land unsatisfied and unsecure.

When the Israelites were about to enter into the promised land, Balaam of Peor, a prophet of Ba’al, was enticing Israelites to worship the god that calls you to sacrifice your child. He was preparing to give a curse to the Israelites, but instead, God compelled him to give them a blessing, which he did.

Balaam’s reward was to later be killed by Joshua for the crime he committed of bringing Israelites to worship Ba’al.

The Israelites were about to enter their Promised Land, which was a Hope Exit of their time from Egyptian and Wilderness bondage when a curse was about to befall them. But that curse was turned into a blessing by the supernatural intervention of God, who was compelled to speak blessings on Israel and curses on Moab.

We Americans are about to enter our Hope Exit (hopefully) as well, as the division between American and Progmerican becomes clearer and clearer over the coming months. Just as we face this challenge, we see once again the Ba’al priests protected by the establishment. It seems they hold the high places still and they mean to protect their child-sacrificing god, come what may.

Yet, even as Balaam hoped to pronounce a curse with his mountaintop declarations, what might have been meant as a form of a curse on the land in the Epstein files release will yet be a blessing on the land, though it might be difficult to see that now.

After the releases, the partisan information warriors scampered off to their platforms and produced agit prop and content marketing condemning the other and protecting the ingroup. There were some, mostly outside of the Progmerican left (but not exclusively), that took measured wait-and-see takes, but, for the most part, Trump was exonerated or condemned, Bill Clinton was exonerated or condemned. There was little ground in between being created by the info warriors in the partisan camps.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche made the announcement, not Attorney General Pam Bondi, which might be telling in and of itself. He gave a measured statement, exclaiming these documents only represented half of the documents the government had yet not released. He claimed these files were held back because they identified victims, exposed medical files, had child pornographic images, or showed death, or showed abuse.

Right from the start he made it clear we were getting a sanitized look at the madness, which might be to our favor, but then again, it might be a demon we need to look at to see that the demon was fed by us as well. THIS might lead us to the repentance we have yet, as a nation, to experience, the repentance against our worshiping of Ba’al, the god who calls a nation to sacrifice their children to his fire.

Remember, many of the highest-level leaders of our country, in all sectors of life, were part of this child rape-murder-sacrifice-torture cabal. None, so far, have faced criminal consequence for their actions. Most of them continue to walk amongst us, our masters, dictating our terms of existence to us from behind a veil of moral supremacism concealing child sacrifice at its heart.

If it’s not them, it’s their adult children, who, by now, have most likely been initiated into the family affair, the family “business.”

These same leaders were the ones making deals with China that sold our vitality to the Chinese Communist Party for a promise of an Eldorado that would never come (the burgeoning consumer class in China that would one day dwarf America’s).

While they sold our vocations to China, at home they were browbeating us with a morality they used to justify corporate censorship and the unpersoning of the unorthodox. While they were browbeating us in public, in private, they were stealing life to satisfy Ba’al’s fire within them all, a fire that is never quenched, which is an eternal torment to the worm that never dies.

The documents were only released in what we imagine is a “minimal” adherence to a law ordering the DOJ to release the Epstein Files. The Deputy Attorney General stated, “We comply with the act, and there is no ‘protect President Trump.’ We didn’t protect or not protect anybody.”

The statement itself is a minimal affirmation of the Act, which would support our theory the DOJ “minimally” complied with the law. As for the claim they didn’t protect anyone, let us see if we find this statement to be accurate after our analysis.

It should be noted that this release was six weeks past the due date outlined in the November 19, 2025 Act signed into law by President Donald Trump.

The releases include 2,000 videos and 180,000 images. The two biggest names everyone was looking for, Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, failed to deliver the proverbial smoking gun, as these releases largely did (with some noted exceptions).

First, we will look at the two biggest names and what these Epstein Files say about them, then in general at who was most damaged and who escaped any serious harm, and finally we’ll analyze what this type of release tells us about the Reality of Power at the global scale, behind closed doors, where the children are most likely still being used as elixirs of youth and deification.

A. DONALD TRUMP

Shortly after the Epstein Files release, President Donald Trump told the press on Air Force One, “I didn’t see (the files) myself, but I was told by some very important people that not only does it absolve me, it’s the opposite of what people were hoping.”

He was referring specifically to what he alleges the Epstein Files show, a conspiracy between Jeffrey Epstein and author Michael Wolff to besmirch Trump’s name out of revenge. This charge has some suggestions through the email correspondence between Wolff and Epstein that might corroborate that claim, but there is no smoking guns affirming the claim. Trump has threatened to sue Wolff, who expressed no alleged fear at such possibility.

Progmerican Info Warriors have taken to sharing a meme that says “Donald Trump was mentioned more times in the Epstein Files than Jesus was mentioned in the Bible.” As usual, category “errors” abound in that narrative, the first of which is that one category is the Holy Word of God, and the other category is criminal child sex trafficking investigation files.

The meme itself reveals that the Progmericans have no hoped-for smoking gun from the Epstein files. The most damaging files are anonymous complaints that are filled with horrifying details. However, most of the other high-profile people, including Bill Clinton, suffer from this same circumstance.  These are mostly unsubstantiated claims by anonymous sources that were either followed up on and ruled out as uncredible or ruled out as uncredible from the start.

The “best” attack the left had was to malapropistically use Christ as a bludgeon against Trump’s presumed Christian base. Not understanding scripture at all, they had no idea such comparisons would ring hollow, especially for those who hold to the rather orthodox belief that ALL of scripture points to Christ. Where His name is not spoken, the Word yet points to Him.

It also cheapens the profundity and sacredness of scripture by comparing it to child pornographic criminal records. THIS was not by accident.

While the DOJ says Trump has been mentioned over 5,000 times in the files, Bill Clinton’s number of mentions hasn’t been released. When you do a search for Bill Clinton in the DOJ’s Epstein Files library, you get 1,230 mentions. When you do a search for Donald Trump, you get 1,478 results.

B. BILL CLINTON

Bill Clinton will find nothing even suggesting an exoneration like President Trump did in this release, nor was there a smoking gun condemning him. The evidence against him still remains circumstantial, which includes the new photos of him with Jeffrey Epstein, including some with young women, sometimes in questionable (but not obviously so) positions.

When the U.S. House Oversight Committee subpoenaed both Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary to testify under oath, the Clintons initially refused. Now, they have agreed, in principle, to testify in the face of potential criminal charges of contempt for continuing to refuse to comply to the subpoena.

Perhaps the most damaging evidence against the Clintons, in general, is Jeffrey Epstein’s deposition in 2016 when he invoked the Fifth Amendment numerous times to avoid answering questions about the nature of his involvement with Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation. Outside of that, this release introduced no real new information about the Clintons and their relationship to Jeffrey Epstein.

C. THOSE MOST AFFECTED

This category excludes, of course, the ones obviously most affected from this whole operation (one probably still going on in one way, shape, or form), the victims of these little gods, the men and women consuming the future to preserve the illusion of the eternal now.

  1. KIER STARMER – The UK Prime Minister was not originally on this list, but circumstances have changed. Momentum continues to grow for the PM to resign after it was revealed Starmer KNEW about Peter Mandelson’s connections to Jeffrey Epstein BEFORE he approved of Mandelson becoming the U.S. ambassador.

His own intelligence service flagged Mandelson, but Starmer overruled the flag. The only reason this was discovered was because the second person on this list, Peter Mandelson, was exposed in the Epstein Files in a way that led British authorities to discover this fact.

  1. PETER MANDELSON – After the Epstein Files were released, Peter Mandelson was exposed as having leaked sensitive information to Jeffrey Epstein that could result in criminal charges. The fallout was immediate, as Mandelson was forced to resign from the Labour Party and from the House of Lords. He had already been forced to resign as the UK ambassador to the U.S. It was the notification from the Epstein Files that Mandelson had leaked this information that led to an investigation exposing the initial flag by the intelligence community on Mandelson and Starmer’s direct override of the flag.
  2. MIROSLAV LAJCAK – Slovakia’s National Security Adviser was forced to resign after the Epstein files release revealed he had numerous parties and meetings with Epstein back in 2018. The opposition party pounced on the releases, while Lajcak claimed he had done no wrong.
  3. STEVE TISCH – The Co-owner of the New York Giants, Steve Tisch, showed up in this new batch release 400 times, and that includes emails from him using terms like “working girl” that made it highly probable he was referring to sexual activity, though not underage activity.

While the NFL has announced plans to investigate Steve Tish, so far, he hasn’t been forced to resign, nor has he offered to.

  1. BILL CLINTON – While no smoking gun was revealed in the release, they did help to fuel the House Oversight Committee’s efforts to get the Clintons to testify under oath (something they wanted to do for some time).
  2. OTHERS – Some lesser affected include Harvey Weinstein, Leon Black, Casey Wasserman, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. The last one is most noteworthy, with Lutnick showing up for an Epstein Island lunch visit years after he claimed he last contacted Epstein.

ED.NOTE: We consider one Democrat hard hit by the Epstein Files release, Stacey Plaskett, a minor actor. What she has alleged to do, text Jeffrey Epstein during U.S. House hearings, indicts the system. Her removal as an actor, however, is almost inconsequential.

While Donald Trump doesn’t appear to have the clear exoneration he claims, he has taken no real damage beyond what he’s already received from his handling of the Epstein files in general.

D. WHAT’S MISSING

At the now culturally irrelevant Grammy Awards, British actor and comedian Trevor Noah made a joke about Donald Trump, saying, “That’s a Grammy that every artist wants — almost as much as Trump wants Greenland. Which makes sense because, since Epstein’s gone, he needs a new island to hang out with Bill Clinton. I told you, it’s my last year! What are you going to do about it?”

Upon hearing this, President Trump responded on Truth Social, “The host, Trevor Noah, whoever he may be, is almost as bad as Jimmy Kimmel at the Low Ratings Academy Awards. I can’t speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close, and until tonight’s false and defamatory statement, have never been accused of being there, not even by the Fake News Media. Noah, a total loser, better get his facts straight, and get them straight fast. It looks like I’ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C., and suing him for plenty$. Ask Little George Slopadopolus and others how that all worked out. Also, ask CBS!” added Trump. “Get ready, Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you!”

This exchange right here might be the most amount of action these file releases have generated far. A far-left anti-American British citizen on an American television show to an American audience made a joke about a former and current President going to an island that is known for child rape (and probably child murder as well).

The CURRENT President responded to this jokester by threatening to sue him, demonstrating a critical unawareness of basic first amendment constitutional law, or an indifference to it. Either way, the most dramatic exchange to come after this mega-release turns out to be between an anti-American agit prop activist properly exploiting American freedom and the sitting President not properly understanding it.

What’s missing is evidence that leads to criminal prosecution for anyone, which we can only surmise includes a high proportion of leaders in all segments of society. Hundreds, if not thousands, of powerful men and women who participated in consuming children to satisfy their little god fires, are still among us, still holding social, cultural, political, and even sacred leadership and gatekeeping positions.

What’s missing is accountability, what’s missing is a transparent assurance the operation is actually shut down and is not being continued with different Epsteins and Maxwells.

E. THE CASE FOR SEEING MORE

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche let us know this release was only half of the files the DOJ still has. We suggested he complied as minimally as he thought he could get away with, and the fruit of this release suggests to us he wasn’t being truthful when he said he wasn’t protecting anyone.

We don’t presume he is protecting President Trump, or NOT protecting President Trump. We don’t presume Trump is guilty beyond turning a blind eye to something he AT LEAST should have figured out a lot sooner than he did (if he’s even guilty of that).

We don’t even suggest this for President Clinton as well. For all we know, both these men could be innocent. For all we know, both these men could be guilty of comparable crimes.

Blanche revealed the released files did not include those files that showed child pornographic images, or showed death, or showed abuse. He also cited medical records concerns and victim identities; both seem credible enough. However, those first three categories don’t, especially because sensitive areas can be blurred to at least expose the criminal, something we must assume has already been done, but led to no arrests.

As stated above, we have no idea who walks among us that is part of this Satanic cult, and the cost of shocking Americans with the awful sins of our leaders is overshadowed by the much costlier consequence of continuing to protect the criminals of Epstein Island. Protect no one, not even Donald Trump (if it’s needed at all).

Failure to let Americans see the horrifying truth will only further erode the state’s legitimacy of rule, which is already on life support as it is. Release the Kraken, come what may, for the guilty can no longer be protected if the state in its current form (officially still American) hopes to continue to exist.

SUMMARY

The Department of Justice, under the direction of Pam Bondi, did the minimum it felt it had to do to at least give the political leadership of both parties plausible deniability that yet did not remove the Epstein fangs pointed at one another.

The goal here, it would seem, was to sustain the status quo between the real competing factions. These competing main factions are Trump’s elites now hedging their bets on the China model and leaning towards an America-lite model, and the “China Model through the Woke Vehicle of Power” elites who have been the center of power until recently.

We see here King Kong versus Godzilla, fighting over our city, with the Epstein files being performative missiles shot off now and then by the city security forces, who assure us the monsters are under control. We Americans find ourselves rooting for King Kong, the American-like monster, for at least this monster won’t completely destroy our city, whereas we KNOW Godzilla wants to destroy us completely.

We have a real chance in the post-Kong victory world to fully live out our Americanism. We have little chance to fully live out our Americanism if Godzilla wins. Still, we see the monster that King Kong is clearly for ourselves, and we are not prepared to bend our knee to him anymore than we would be prepared to bend our knee to Godzilla. Or so the metaphor goes.

PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS

The latest attempt by the Trump administration and the DNC to placate the masses without giving too much safe harbor to the enemy has served only to delay the soon-to-be louder voices demanding the real damaging files get released, come what may.

We can’t imagine anyone seriously thought this would put the Epstein files to bed, and possibly that was never the intended outcome. For as much as we want to know the full truth of the child sex ring designed to blackmail thought leaders in multiple countries, we also understand the black hole mystery that is the Epstein Files.

This black hole mystery can gobble up minds, resources, that might otherwise have discovered practical paths to blunt centralized control over human action. This is not to suggest the effort to expose the truth shouldn’t continue, but only that the continuation of this black hole mystery is not completely disadvantageous to the elites.

This is especially true of the elites who continue to be part of the blackmailers group, not the blackmailed leaders group Clinton, Trump, etc., are candidates for being in. The blackmailers have every reason for the mystery to continue, and our passion to continue to be absorbed by it, for, even as we speak, most likely they’ve long moved on to their new centers of child sacrifice.

We always allow for God’s intervention, but outside of that, this black hole mystery is set to continue at least for another year, maybe longer.

We doubt the Clinton hearings will yield much more than body language videos and montages of “I plea the Fifth,” which is assuming the hearings happen at all, something far from certain at this point. If they do, the Clintons will try to look hard and determined in the same way Hillary did during the Benghazi hearings (presaging Trump).

Trump has standardized the bluster, the WWE promotion-style savaging, which the Clintons will try to manifest in their outfits and their demeanor.

They will address the Republicans curtly, with a tinge of contempt. Bill could be a wildcard if he gets caught in a logic trap and says more than he should. The DNC criminal media will cover them with plaudits and heap shame on the Republicans daring to question their integrity.

The press will carry headlines comparing Trump’s 5K mentions to Bill’s “fewer” mentions as proof this is merely a political witch hunt. The girls at the View may offer this as proof that the Department of Justice is protecting Donald Trump by going after the Clintons to distract them from Trump, who, after all, is mentioned more

The net result will be a blunting of the Epstein Files as a uniquely Republican or Democrat problem, which is not a good overall net result for America, because it means less creators will find incentives in producing content keeping the pressure on these people to release files (since it doesn’t exclusively hurt the other faction).

On one hand this might be good if those same creators start showing their audiences how to build Americanist communities right where they live, starting in their own homes. But this seems less likely, as that type of content is not nearly as monetizable as Epstein content that eviscerates the opposing faction.

On the other hand, if this is swept under the rug, it will only embolden the elites to do more, which means more victims than ever before, for surely, they haven’t stopped Jeffrey Epstein’s work. What this means is they haven’t stopped offering children for power to the people who will still rule over us as if WE were the ones that needed THEIR moral authority for our lives to be “good.”

There is a Goldilocks zone for our engagement with this black hole mystery, and it’s not silence or indifference, nor is it where the bulk of our energies should be spent.

The blackmailers would ultimately be happy with either/or extreme, total obsession that saps restorative energies to total crickets allowing the conspiracy to operate in silence. The blackmailers prefer to see the pendulum swing wildly from the obsession extreme to the cricket extreme. This assures the blackmailed still feel threatened while also assuring the blackmailers continue to remain invisible (as they mostly still are).

A consistent, steady approach to investigating the Epstein files is what is needed amongst us Americans (see Whitney Webb), but only a handful of us.

Unless a brave whistleblower manages to get the irrefutable proof of the dark sins of our leaders, expect the black hole mystery of the Epstein Files to continue to burn, for good and for ill, against a backdrop of an America struggling to find her people amongst peoples who have long ago forgotten what America is.

Our ability to confront these sins, to bring to account the main criminals, will most likely be what finally determines if the spirit of Americanism prevails in this land or the spirit of Progmericanism, child sacrifice, prevails in this land.

The Epstein Files release has not fooled the Americans, it is only helping us to clarify whose clearly with us and whose clearly against us. In other words, the Epstein Files release is already proving to be a blessing, not the curse it was intended to be. If you are too partisan in your defense of ANY suspected politician, including Trump, we have reason to question your Americanist credentials.

Will Ba’al replace Christ, officially, as the centerpiece of the “new Progmerican republic” or will Christ remain muted under an American-lite MAGA banner, or will Christ be unbounded in a restored Americanist nation? So far, the release hasn’t had its intended results, which bodes well for the Americanists.

Chairman Xi of China has finally publicly addressed the purge of most of his military leaders and political “allies” in response to what appears to have been a coup attempt by his second-in-command, Zhang Youxia. He addressed the military, stating, “The past year has been unusual and extraordinary, The People’s Army has deepened its political education, effectively addressed various risks and challenges and undergone revolutionary forging in the fight against corruption.”

While Xi has survived the coup, mobilizations within China suggest he has yet to fully restoyre stability. So far, none of the top spots have been replaced by anyone else. The purge leaves the military without seasoned Generals, and one of the few who has experienced combat, Youxia, is among the Generals that have been purged. As of right now, the conditions in China are still fluid by our assessment.

Chinese President Xi Jinping makes rare public reference to recent military purges  The Straits Times

China’s military has grown stronger in the past year in its fight against corruption, Chinese President Xi Jinping told the Chinese armed forces on Feb 11, making a rare public reference to the graft probes linked to the country’s top generals.

China’s two highest-ranked generals have been ensnared in disciplinary probes, with

Mr He Weidong expelled in October 2025

 and Mr Zhang Youxia placed under investigation in January, marking one of the most high-profile purges of the Chinese military in decades.

“The past year has been unusual and extraordinary,” Mr Xi told the military in a virtual address.
