  100. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  101. <h2>The Fed’s rate cut: a band-aid on a bullet wound</h2>
  102. <p>Jerome Powell’s Federal Reserve is about to do what it does best: apply a temporary fix to a structural problem and call it prudence. When the FOMC announces its <a href="https://www.kitco.com/news/article/2025-09-16/gold-hits-record-high-fed-set-cut-interest-rates" target="_blank" rel="noopener">widely telegraphed 25-basis-point rate cut on Wednesday</a>, the move will be framed as a measured response to “softening economic data.” Translation? The economy is wobbling like a drunkard on a tightrope, and the Fed’s solution is to loosen the rope further. Lower interest rates mean cheaper borrowing, which, in theory, spurs spending and investment. But when the cost of money is artificially suppressed for years on end, the result isn’t growth — it’s a sugar high followed by a crash. The only difference now is that the masses are demanding the rate cuts just to survive &#8211; but this comes with an inevitable collapse that will stretch the dollar&#8217;s value to its breaking point.</p>
  103. <p>The Fed’s own projections are expected to show slower growth and rising unemployment. That’s not the backdrop for a confident, thriving economy. It’s the setup for a classic central bank panic. Powell will face tough questions at his press conference, but don’t expect straight answers. The Fed’s playbook hasn’t changed since the 2008 financial crisis—print money, prop up asset prices, and pray the music doesn’t stop. The difference now? The band is playing louder, the dance floor is more crowded, and the exits are narrowing.</p>
  104. <p><a href="https://www.kitco.com/charts/gold" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gold’s meteoric rise</a> isn’t just about inflation hedging; it’s a vote of no confidence in the entire monetary system. When the world’s reserve currency starts to look like a leaky boat, investors don’t wait for the captain’s reassurances. They start swimming for shore. And right now, shore is anything that can’t be inflated away with a keystroke.</p>
  105. <h2>The great migration: from dollars to dynamite (and everything in between)</h2>
  106. <p>If gold is the canary in the coal mine, then the canary is currently screeching at the top of its lungs. The yellow metal doesn’t just climb to record highs on a whim. It does so when the people who move markets — hedge funds, sovereign wealth funds, billionaires with yachts bigger than football fields — decide that cash is trash. And they’re not wrong. The <a href="http://dollardemise.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">U.S. dollar index just hit a seven-week low</a>, a quiet but damning indictment of the greenback’s eroding strength. Meanwhile, silver, the poor man’s gold, is surging toward $44, a level it hasn’t seen since the aftermath of the 2008 collapse. Coincidence? Hardly.</p>
  107. <p>But here’s where it gets interesting. The smart money isn’t just buying metals. It’s diversifying into assets that don’t rely on the kindness of central bankers. Bitcoin, once dismissed as a fringe experiment, is now trading in the $60,000s, a far cry from its post-FTX lows. Privacy coins like Monero are gaining traction among those who prefer their wealth untraceable by prying eyes. And then there are the tangibles — the kind of things that don’t need a blockchain or a bank vault to hold value. Ammunition. Diesel fuel. Iodine tablets. Emergency medical supplies. These aren’t just preppers’ fantasies; they’re the new frontier of wealth preservation for those who’ve lost faith in the system’s ability to provide.</p>
  108. <p>Why the shift? Because history has a nasty habit of repeating itself. The last time the Fed cut rates in the face of a wobbly economy, we got the 2008 financial crisis. The time before that? The dot-com bubble burst. Each time, the Fed’s solution was to print more money, bail out the reckless, and leave the little guy holding the bag. This time, the bag is heavier, the stakes are higher, and the alternatives — gold, silver, crypto, and yes, even bullets — are looking like the only lifeboats left.</p>
  109. <h2>Trade wars, TikTok, and the illusion of stability</h2>
  110. <p>Amid the monetary chaos, there’s a subplot playing out in Madrid, where U.S. and Chinese officials are hashing out trade terms. The headlines will focus on TikTok’s divestment and the thawing of tensions between the world’s two largest economies. Better trade relations mean better economic growth, or so the narrative goes. But dig deeper, and the real story is about demand — specifically, the demand for hard assets in a world where trust in paper promises is evaporating.</p>
  111. <p><a href="http://communistchina.news/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">China, the world’s largest gold consumer</a>, has been on a buying spree, vacuuming up bullion at a pace that would make Fort Knox blush. The People’s Bank of China added another 10 tons to its reserves last month, part of a years-long strategy to reduce reliance on the dollar. Russia, Iran, and a growing list of nations are doing the same. Even Wall Street, that temple of fiat worship, is starting to wake up. Bank of America recently told its clients that gold could hit $4,000 by next year. That’s not a prediction; it’s a warning.</p>
  112. <p>The Fed’s rate cut this week won’t be the last. It’s the first domino in a line that <a href="http://brighteon.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stretches back to the 1971 abandonment of the gold standard</a>, when Richard Nixon severed the dollar’s last tether to reality. Since then, the U.S. has operated on a faith-based currency system, where the dollar’s value is backed by nothing more than the belief that it has value. But belief is a fragile thing. And right now, that belief is fraying at the edges.</p>

  149. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The United States is deepening its war efforts by sending Ukraine drone strike kits to fulfill a Pentagon contract by the end of the year. If anyone thought this administration was going to be different than the previous one, this is just more evidence to the contrary. Both are willing to fund and keep a war going between Ukraine and Russia.</p>
  150. <p>This drone package was first reported on by the<a href="https://www.ft.com/content/42b8f467-fc17-4501-aa32-23fd95314a12" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em> Financial Times </em>[behind a paywall</a>]. According to the outlet, the U.S. is going to send 33,000 AI-controlled drones to Ukraine with plans to upgrade them later using swarm technology.</p>
  151. <p>Auterion, the US-German start-up that developed the UAV (unmanned aerial vehicles), recently unveiled its “drone swarm strike engine,” dubbed Nemyx, which transforms individual drones into a single force through a software app that allows any compatible system to join the swarm.</p>
  152. <blockquote><p>The new software has yet to be tested on the battlefield, but Auterion has said it plans to upload it to the AI drone “strike kits” it is set to deliver to Ukraine by the end of the year under a Pentagon contract.</p>
  153. <p>While the delivery would be one of the largest of its kind, the volume is still relatively small compared to the hundreds of thousands of drones already used by Ukrainian forces each month. &#8211;<a href="https://www.rt.com/russia/624872-us-ukraine-drone-swarm/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>RT</em></a></p></blockquote>
  154. <p><a class="refer-link" style="line-height: 1.3em; display: block; background-color: #f1f1f1; color: #870404; padding: 8px 30px 8px 15px; font-weight: 600; border-radius: 8px; font-size: 1.2em; position: relative; border-left: 12px solid #870404;" href="https://www.shtfplan.com/war/no-match-high-tech-western-weapons-useless-against-russias-superior-jamming-technology" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NO MATCH: High-Tech Western Weapons “USELESS” Against Russia’s Superior Jamming Technology</a></p>
  155. <p>This is only going to prolong the inevitable. The Western countries responsible for Ukraine&#8217;s ability to even remain in existence are unable to convince their taxpayers to continue to keep this war propped up. Russia has repeatedly condemned the continued deliveries of Western weapons to Ukraine, arguing they only lead to more bloodshed and prolong the conflict without affecting its outcome.</p>
  156. <p>Moscow has also consistently denounced Ukraine’s continued use of drones to strike civilian targets. These attacks often lead to the deaths of innocent people, including children. Russian officials have described these strikes as blatant terrorism carried out by the Kiev regime.</p>

  192. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is Project 2025 the goal of the religious right? No longer is prosthelitizing good enough.

It’s made up by secular humanists.”  Secular humanism posits that human beings are capable of being ethical and moral without religion or belief in a deity. Considering the most tyrannical governments in history have been religious theocracies (again, look at Islamic nations in the Middle East), it seems more moral to align with secular humanism than a religion right now.</p>

Once you start dehumanizing those who don&#8217;t believe as you do and call for a ruling class to impose your beliefs on everyone else, you have lost the script and can no longer claim the moral high ground. This is what&#8217;s happening with Christian nationalism, something Charlie Kirk promoted.</p>

It is also immoral to punish others for not believing like you do. What you can do is isolate yourself with others who only think like you and create an ever-increasing echo chamber where you are never exposed to others who see the world differently.  If the right is truly the party of freedom, this will make sense.</p>

  253. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The ruling class, at the behest of right-leaning Americans, is becoming more unhinged. Pam Bondi, the United States attorney general, said the government will “absolutely target” people who use “hate speech” in the wake of the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.</p>

  255. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
  256. <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Attorney General Pam Bondi: &#8220;There&#8217;s free speech and then there&#8217;s hate speech, and there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie, in our society&#8230;We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech.&#8221; <a href="https://t.co/Bqj6TQOGwP">pic.twitter.com/Bqj6TQOGwP</a></p>

  258. <p>U.S. head tyrant, Donald Trump, doubled down on Bondi&#8217;s rhetoric. When asked about Bondi’s comments on Tuesday, <a href="https://x.com/atrupar/status/1967957633370828892" data-link-name="in body link">Trump told</a> an <em>ABC News</em> reporter, “We’ll probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly.

  263. <p>Even hate speech, speech you don&#8217;t like, lies, and evil or cruel speech are covered by the First Amendment. The ruling class should never target anyone for speaking their mind.</p>
  264. <p>The right has consistently blamed the murder of Charlie Kirk on &#8220;lies&#8221; and &#8220;propaganda&#8221; about the things Kirk had said. The inflammatory figure has used his Bible to say things that<a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/nfl/news/submit-to-your-husband-charlie-kirk-under-fire-after-resurfaced-rant-about-taylor-swifts-engagement-to-travis-kelce/articleshow/123838223.cms" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> disparage women</a>, and he&#8217;s made comments that could <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/11/charlie-kirk-quotes-beliefs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">definitely be considered racist.</a> He&#8217;s also a<a href="https://religionmediacentre.org.uk/news/charlie-kirk-from-secular-activist-to-christian-nationalist-icon/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Christian nationalist,</a> which means he wanted to impose a theocracy that would force Christianity by law on everyone. (And yes, I have personally read or listened to his entire commentary in context, and the context does not make what he says &#8220;better.&#8221;)</p>
  265. <p><a class="refer-link" style="line-height: 1.3em; display: block; background-color: #f1f1f1; color: #870404; padding: 8px 30px 8px 15px; font-weight: 600; border-radius: 8px; font-size: 1.2em; position: relative; border-left: 12px solid #870404;" href="https://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/christian-nationalism-on-the-rise-ruler-reposts-video-saying-women-should-not-be-allowed-to-vote" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christian Nationalism On the Rise: Ruler Reposts Video Saying Women Should Not Be Allowed To Vote</a></p>
  266. <p>A lot of the things Kirk said should be called out, and people have every right to take issue with and criticize what he says. Like everyone else, though, Kirk also has the right to say whatever he wants. A law or regulation targeting Americans can only end one way. Whether it&#8217;s Christian Nationalism or socialism, the result will look the same for everyone. The ruling class will control everyone else, and if you step out of line, you&#8217;ll be punished. Liberty and freedom will evaporate.</p>
  267. <p><a class="refer-link" style="line-height: 1.3em; display: block; background-color: #f1f1f1; color: #870404; padding: 8px 30px 8px 15px; font-weight: 600; border-radius: 8px; font-size: 1.2em; position: relative; border-left: 12px solid #870404;" href="https://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/germany-begins-hate-speech-raids-on-its-own-civilians" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Germany Begins “Hate Speech” Raids On Its Own Civilians</a></p>
  268. <p>We are not responsible for what others say, and policing the speech of others is a double-edged sword that will be wielded against you in the future, when you don&#8217;t like the next ruler. We are responsible for our actions and what we believe.</p>

  304. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>This article was originally published by<a href="https://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/our-society-has-produced-a-lost-generation-that-doesnt-have-any-hope/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. </a></em></p>
  305. <p>How can we possibly undo the severe long-term damage that has been done to an entire generation of young people over the course of several decades?  One of the most powerful pieces of evidence that our society is a failure is the fact that we have produced a “lost generation” of young adults that doesn’t have any hope.</p>
  306. <p>We shipped most of them off to public schools, where they were trained to believe that they came from monkeys, that there is no purpose to their lives, and that when they die, nothing waits for them on the other side.  This sick philosophy is endlessly pounded into the heads of our young people, and many of those who have adopted it have come to the conclusion that they might as well live as hedonistically as they can while they are here.  Of course, that doesn’t give them any meaning or purpose either, and so a lot of them end up sort of drifting through life seeking anything that can fill the painful emptiness that they feel inside.</p>
  307. <p>It isn’t really a mystery why so many of our young people <a title="have gone completely insane" href="https://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/this-is-the-most-evil-reaction-to-charlie-kirks-assassination-that-i-have-seen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">have gone completely insane</a>.  Our modern liberal society urges them to constantly chase after things that will never satisfy them.  As a result, we have a national epidemic of loneliness, a national epidemic of depression, a national epidemic of drug abuse, and a national epidemic of suicide.</p>
  308. <p>Our young people are offered one hamster wheel after another.  Each time, they are told that if they just run hard enough, they will finally be happy.</p>
  309. <p>Of course, that never actually happens.</p>
  310. <p>It all starts in the public schools.  Parents send their children to these schools believing that they will receive a quality education, but the truth is that the quality of education in our public schools <a title="just keeps getting worse" href="https://www.newsweek.com/naep-scores-report-teachers-education-technology-absenteeism-2128903" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">just keeps getting worse</a>…</p>
  311. <blockquote><p>The reading and math scores of 12th graders have plunged to their lowest level in over 20 years.</p>
  312. <p>The scores, part of a test from the National Assessment of Education Progress, showed the average reading score for 12th graders dropped to the lowest level since the NAEP first administered the reading assessment in 1992. The average score for 12th graders in math in 2024 was the lowest since 2005, when the math assessment framework changed significantly.</p></blockquote>
  313. <p>I went to public schools all the way through high school, and then I attended two public universities for a total of eight years.</p>
  314. <p>The quality of the education that I received was a joke.</p>
  315. <p>The entire system is a fraud!  It is about time that we all finally admit that the emperor doesn’t have any clothes on.</p>
  316. <p>But what our public schools are good at is indoctrinating young minds.  For example, just consider what has been happening <a title="in the state of Maryland" href="https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/schools-make-kids-crazy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">in the state of Maryland</a>…</p>
  317. <blockquote><p>Schools are subverting students’ mental health by endlessly hectoring them to doubt or despise their own bodies. These school antics reached epidemic level even before the start of the Covid pandemic. In 2019, the state of Maryland issued regulations to promote “viewing each student’s” “gender identity and expression” as “valuable.” Government officials and political appointees arrogated to themselves the prerogative to redefine gender in the state of Maryland. Montgomery County, the largest school system in the state, announced that it would choose books for the curriculum “through an ‘LGBTQ+ Lens’ and ask whether books ‘reinforced or disrupted’ ‘stereotypes,’ ‘cisnormativity,’ and ‘power hierarchies,’” according to a brief filed at the Supreme Court by parents who successfully challenged the school system. That brief also noted that “teachers are told to frame disagreement with [pro-LGBTQ] ideas as ‘hurtful,’ and to counter with examples of ‘men who paint their nails’ or ‘wear dresses.’” The goal is to instill in children “a new perspective not easily contravened by their parents,” as the county school board admitted.</p>
  318. <p>The indoctrination produced a 582% increase in the number of kids self-identifying as “non-binary” in Montgomery County schools. “Disrupting children’s thinking” has been so successful that almost half of the students identified themselves as non-binary.</p></blockquote>
  319. <p>Sadly, most parents have no idea what is really going on in these schools.</p>
  320. <p>They just assume that their kids are being prepared for life in the real world.</p>
  321. <p>But instead, they are having leftist “values” systematically shoved down their throats.</p>
  322. <p>Needless to say, it gets even worse at the next level.</p>
  323. <p>Our colleges and universities are completely and utterly dominated by radical leftists.</p>
  324. <p>This is why so many of our young people abandon the values that they were raised with once they enroll in these “institutions of higher learning”.  This is a point that was made exceptionally well <a title="in a recent article by Victor Davis Hanson" href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/was-current-madness-birthed-university" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">in a recent article by Victor Davis Hanson</a>…</p>
  325. <blockquote><p>Hundreds of thousands of students emerge from campuses not just indoctrinated with contempt for the Western tradition and American exceptionalism, and not just often thousands of dollars in debt from inflated tuition, but also poorly educated by the standards that once defined education.</p>
  326. <p>The working classes and high school graduates, supposedly the losers of our society, are not those who are dividing the country. They are not often advocating violence or trying to use any means necessary to overturn the established order. But so often the products of the modern university are doing just that.</p>
  327. <p>Sadly, in all these recent horrors, the ideology behind them—the premise that either birthed or appeased them—was birthed in modern higher education.</p></blockquote>
  328. <p>He is right.</p>
  329. <p>Once upon a time, colleges and universities were primarily concerned with equipping students with the skills that they would need for their future careers.</p>
  330. <p>Today, colleges and universities are primarily concerned with brainwashing impressionable young kids.</p>
  331. <p>So, how is that working out for our society?</p>
  332. <p>Well, we now have <a title="a raging epidemic of loneliness" href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/family-and-relationships/child-development-and-psychology/exclusive-half-of-young-people-plagued-by-loneliness-family-problems/ar-AA1MEkQU" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">a raging epidemic of loneliness</a> among our young people…</p>
  333. <blockquote><p>Half of U.S. youth say that loneliness has a daily disruptive impact on their mental health, according to Hopelab and Data For Progress survey results shared exclusively with Axios.</p></blockquote>
  334. <p>In addition, the percentage of the population that is suffering with or receiving treatment for depression <a title="has nearly doubled" href="https://www.newsweek.com/depression-rates-increase-america-2127097" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">has nearly doubled</a> over the past decade…</p>
  335. <blockquote><p>Depression remains an ongoing problem in the U.S. as historically high rates persist, polling company Gallup reveals.</p>
  336. <p>The reported percentage of U.S. adults suffering or receiving treatment for depression has been higher than 18 percent for the past two years. A decade ago, in 2015, the number was just over 10 percent.</p>
  337. <p>“The increase is alarming, and it is important that we keep an open mind and explore all possible causes for the rapid, and apparently sustained, rise in depression rates over the past decade,” Dr. Gerard Sanacora, a professor of psychiatry, director of Yale Depression Research Program and co-director of Yale New Haven Hospital Interventional Psychiatry Service at Yale University, told Newsweek.</p></blockquote>
  338. <p>On top of everything else, “deaths of despair” caused by alcohol abuse, drug abuse, and suicide <a title="are absolutely soaring" href="https://www.addictioncenter.com/community/millennials-alcohol-drugs-suicide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">are absolutely soaring</a>…</p>
  339. <blockquote><p>Two non-profits, Trust for America’s Health and Well Being Trust, published a report this month which paints a harrowing picture of reality for millennials with an addiction in the United States. According to the report, which is an analysis of data from the CDC, millennials are the most likely age demographic to die from alcohol, drug abuse, and suicide. Millennials are most often defined as people who were born between the years 1981 and 1996, although some definitions expand the category to cover people who were born up through the year 2000.</p>
  340. <p>Over the course of one decade, from 2007 to 2017, the rate of alcohol-related deaths among millennials rose by 69%, the rate of deaths caused by drugs rose by 108%, and the suicide rate rose by 35%. The report also indicates that the opioid epidemic has devastated millennials. From 1999 to 2017, the rate of fatal opioid overdoses among millennials rose by 500% and the rate of fatal overdoses involving synthetic opioids (especially fentanyl) skyrocketed by 6,000%.</p></blockquote>
  341. <p>Please go back and look at those numbers one more time.</p>
  342. <p>What we are doing is clearly not working.</p>
  343. <p>We have a system that does not give our young people any hope, and the consequences have been absolutely devastating.</p>
  344. <p>Those of us that refuse to go along with the system are increasingly being marginalized and pushed to the fringes of our society, but we will not yield because we have found hope in Jesus Christ.  If you would like to study the evidence that proves that the Christian faith is true, I would strongly encourage you <a title="to read my book entitled “Why”" href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DFVKTRJR" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">to read my book entitled “Why”</a>, because it contains a lot of information that has been kept from the general population.</p>
  345. <p>Our schools aren’t going to tell you the truth.</p>
  346. <p>Neither will the other major institutions in our society.</p>
  347. <p>If you are tired of being lied to, it is time to wake up and start thinking for yourself.</p>

  396. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>This article was originally published by <a href="https://mises.org/mises-wire/kirk-assassination-has-exposed-our-political-rot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Connor O&#8217;Keefe at The Mises Institute. </a></em></p>
  397. <p>A week ago today, Charlie Kirk was assassinated. In the days since, details about and reactions to the very public and widely-watched <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/interactive/2025/charlie-kirk-shooting-timeline/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">murder</a> of the prominent conservative commentator and organizer have been everywhere.</p>
  398. <p>Supporters of Kirk are devastated and frustrated. And many have documented the blatant <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/charlie-kirk-shooting-employees-fired/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">celebrations</a> that took place in many progressive corners of the internet and the ongoing references to wanting someone to do “The Thing” (which means killing Trump) that are everywhere in these online spaces to argue that the collective delusion that a literal 1930s-style Nazi takeover of the US is taking place that in all likelihood convinced two <a href="https://mises.org/mises-wire/second-trump-shooter-believed-exactly-what-establishment-media-wanted-him-believe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gunmen</a> to try and assassinate Trump last year has not been adequately reckoned with and is just as present as it was last summer.</p>
  399. <p>People on the left and establishment figures closer to the center have <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/opinion/charlie-kirk-assassination-ideology.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">countered</a> by arguing that the killing of Kirk takes place in the context of a larger uptick of violence aimed at public figures that does not fall easily within partisan lines, but that is increasing at a concerning rate.</p>
  400. <p>Both are right.</p>
  401. <p>Many people in politics, media, and industry who had been doing well before the Trump years have maliciously exaggerated and embellished many aspects of the MAGA movement to terrify millions of people into thinking that a minor threat to the establishment’s power is actually a threat to their very lives. This is a sentiment that those in power, who are stoking these fears, clearly do not believe themselves, as could be seen in their cordiality to Trump after he was shot and Kirk after he was killed.</p>
  402. <p>But this is not the only source behind the surge of violence in American political life that we’re now living through. Delusional online worldviews, collective fears about the future of the country, and even suspiciously <a href="https://headlineusa.com/gov-whitmer-trump-promised-no-pardons-for-men-ensnared-in-fbi-kidnapping-plot/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">belligerent</a> FBI informants have increasingly been convincing people of many different ideological persuasions to adopt more violent means in attempting to achieve their political goals.</p>
  403. <p>Where most have erred, however, is in viewing the “political violence” we’re seeing these days as some kind of unprecedented deviation from the political norm. It is not.</p>
  404. <p>Politics <em>is</em> <a href="https://cdn.mises.org/anatomy-of-the-state.pdf?_gl=1*qcl73l*_gcl_au*MjMwMTQ4OTUyLjE3NTYxMzM5MDE.*_ga*NDE0MTY0MDEuMTc1NjEzMzkwMQ..*_ga_MC3JLVEDHF*czE3NTc5NDI4NTUkbzE4JGcxJHQxNzU3OTk0MTAyJGo1NCRsMCRoMTg3Nzk5NzgzMg.." target="_blank" rel="noopener">violence</a>. Political history is full of violence. And, even though this kind of officially-unsanctioned violence against public figures has been mostly absent from domestic American politics since the late 1960s, Americans have—all this time—lived under a very violent regime in Washington, DC.</p>
  405. <p>The only reason that may not seem obvious is that most of our government’s violence has been committed against people in foreign lands. And that is only because, for the familiar past, no serious threat to their power has materialized here at home. So the unseemly activities of our so-called leaders happen mostly out of sight.</p>
  406. <p>But that cannot remain the case for long as the size of the federal government continues to rapidly grow. As the government comes to control more and more aspects of our daily lives, the sheer amount of alluring power available to whichever political tribe can momentarily grab the reins grows too. As does the danger of losing to an enemy tribe that—like nearly all political tribes—seeks to dominate their ideological enemies.</p>
  407. <p>Adding fuel to that already perilous fire is the fact that young Americans—especially young American men—are growing historically disillusioned and disenchanted with the current system, mostly for reasons that are not their fault.</p>
  408. <p>They were born into a world where politicians have borrowed an absurd amount of money, which is ratcheting up the future tax burden. These politicians have also deliberately destroyed the value of money, structured the entire economy around short-term consumption and debt over meaningful investment and production, prioritized the well-being of about every group above young native-born Americans, and turned nearly every big industry into a giant racket designed to transfer as much money as possible to well-connected companies. And now, as a result, Gen Z is at serious risk of being the <a href="https://ssrs.com/insights/gen-zs-red-flag-what-the-next-generation-tells-us-about-americas-economic-future/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first generation</a> in American history to not live as materially or financially well as their parents’ generation.</p>
  409. <p>Growing disillusioned with a system that is ripping you and your entire generation off is absolutely justified. But things can quickly get much worse if all that righteous anger is not mobilized and deployed in a precise, effective, and ethical direction that actually addresses the root cause of the problem.</p>
  410. <p>And unfortunately, as righteously disillusioned as young Americans are, they remain mostly adrift.</p>
  411. <p>Many have fallen into fringe, incoherent online ideologies or fallen for insincere political figures who promise imminent change without having any serious intention of delivering that change. Others have completely <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Men-Without-Work-Americas-Invisible/dp/1599474697" target="_blank" rel="noopener">checked out</a> of not just politics, but social life entirely—showing no interest in having a career or starting a family. And having a lot of young, out-of-work, single, disenchanted, and overall frustrated men, especially, is a major driver of violence and chaos.</p>
  412. <p>So, again, the stakes of American politics have gotten much higher for all sides at the same time, young American men are becoming more isolated and frustrated than we’ve seen before. So it is reasonable to expect that we will only see more “political violence” in the future. We’re on a bad path.</p>
  413. <p><strong>There is a better one. But getting there involves bringing about a significant rollback of federal power and dramatic political decentralization—not trying to grab federal power, expand it, and use it to subjugate your ideological enemies in the ahistorical assumption that it will get them to calm down.</strong></p>
  414. <p>It also comes from those who are justifiably disillusioned, recognizing that the real source of our problems stems less from their pink-haired leftist college classmate or some tiny purposefully provocative anonymous account on X and more from the government officials and bureaucrats actively running all the corrupt rackets in Washington, DC.</p>
  415. <p>But above all, if we’re ever going to see meaningful improvements to our national situation, we must face the fact that evil exists and that it is present in our country and in our political system. And that, especially when it seems advantageous or tempting in these increasingly frequent, highly-charged moments, it is imperative that we do not give in to that evil, but—as a <a href="https://mises.org/profile/ludwig-von-mises" target="_blank" rel="noopener">great man</a> once adopted as his personal motto—that we proceed ever more boldly against it.</p>

  453. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The conservatives in the country are pushing for censorship in the aftermath of their hero, Charlie Kirk&#8217;s, assassination in Utah last week. Notice what&#8217;s coming out of the republican side of the government right now. It is heavily aligned with what the liberal leftists did back during the Obama years when they sought to silence anyone in disagreement with their ideology.</p>
  454. <p><a class="refer-link" style="line-height: 1.3em; display: block; background-color: #f1f1f1; color: #870404; padding: 8px 30px 8px 15px; font-weight: 600; border-radius: 8px; font-size: 1.2em; position: relative; border-left: 12px solid #870404;" href="https://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/breaking-irs-admits-to-specifically-targeting-tea-party-conservatives-obama-was-going-after-his-political-enemies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Breaking: IRS Admits To Specifically Targeting Tea Party Conservatives – Obama Was Going After His Political Enemies</a></p>
  455. <p>The biggest problem is that the ruling class has the two sides fighting each other instead of looking at the real problem: the government itself that controls and manipulates, even pulls the strings to inflame these tensions further.</p>
  456. <p>This is just more evidence that the problem isn&#8217;t the sides. The problem is that there&#8217;s a throne and a ruling class (s)elected by those sides to control everyone in the name of statism and power. Now the right can wield power to silence people who say things they don&#8217;t like, and the left will complain because they disagree.</p>
  457. <p class="p1">“We are going to channel all of the anger that we have over the organised campaign that led to this assassination, to uproot and dismantle these terrorist networks,” said Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff. “It will happen, and we will do it in Charlie’s name.”</p>
  458. <p>Conservatives have urged that businesses fire individuals who made celebratory posts over his death, fueling questions about free speech and cancel culture. According to a <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/charlie-kirk-shooting-cancel-culture-2130291" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report by <em>Newsweek,</em></a> a website called the Charlie Kirk Data Foundation asks people to submit names of people who have celebrated the shooting. The group wrote to X that it has nearly 50,000 identities and that it&#8217;s not meant for &#8220;doxxing&#8221;—only to &#8220;lawfully collect publicly-available data to analyze the prominence of support for political violence in the interest of public education.&#8221;</p>
  459. <p>Call it what you will, but that was doxxing, and the right spoke out when it was done to them.</p>
  460. <p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not &#8216;cancel culture&#8217; for someone to lose his job for celebrating a political assassination. It&#8217;s a just and necessary consequence if we want to maintain freedom of speech and our constitutional order,&#8221; wrote Representative Brandon Gill, a Texas Republican, to X.</p>
  461. <p><a href="https://amzn.to/46Hr13J" target="_blank" rel="noopener">There is a better way. </a></p>
  462. <p><a href="https://amzn.to/46Hr13J" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-364099 size-medium" src="https://www.shtfplan.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/mostdangeroussperstition-234x300.jpg" alt="" width="234" height="300" srcset="https://www.shtfplan.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/mostdangeroussperstition-234x300.jpg 234w, https://www.shtfplan.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/mostdangeroussperstition.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 234px) 100vw, 234px" /></a>When someone looks out at the world and sees all manner of suffering and injustice, stretching back for thousands of years and continuing today, he invariably blames such problems on someone else&#8217;s hatred, greed, or stupidity. Rarely will someone consider the possibility that his own belief system is the cause of the pain and suffering he sees around him. But in most cases, it is. The root cause of most of society&#8217;s ills&#8211;the main source of man&#8217;s inhumanity to man&#8211;is neither malice nor negligence, but a mere superstition&#8211;an unquestioned assumption which has been accepted on faith by nearly everyone, of all ages, races, religions, education, and income levels. If people were to recognize that one belief for what it is&#8211;an utterly irrational, self-contradictory, and horribly destructive myth&#8211;most of the violence, oppression, and injustice in the world would cease. But that will happen only when people dare to honestly and objectively re-examine their belief systems. &#8220;The Most Dangerous Superstition&#8221; exposes the myth for what it is, showing how nearly everyone, as a result of one particular unquestioned assumption, is directly contributing to violence and oppression without even realizing it. If you imagine yourself to be a compassionate, peace-loving, civilized human being, you must read this book.</p>

  500. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While most of the United States is still laser-focused on Charlie Kirk and what his legacy should be, the genocide in Gaza continues. Israel has started a massive incursion into Gaza City, and it&#8217;s committing genocide and leaving the city burning.</p>
  501. <p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao MvWXB TjIXL aGjvy ebVHC ">The Israeli military began a ground offensive in Gaza City, the Israel Defense Forces said on Tuesday, with two IDF divisions moving toward the city. A third was expected to join them. accoridng to a<a href="https://abcnews.go.com/International/live-updates/israel-gaza-live-updates?id=125613581&amp;entryId=125652584" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> report by<em> ABC News</em>. </a> The Israel Defense Forces said its warplanes and artillery units attacked more than 150 targets in the Gaza Strip in the previous 48 hours, as Israeli troops began their offensive into Gaza City.</p>

  517. <p>Two weeks ago, a resolution was passed by the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) stating that Israel&#8217;s conduct meets the legal definition as laid out in the United Nations Convention on genocide, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cde3eyzdr63o" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to a report by the <em>BBC. </em></a></p>
  518. <p>Charlie Kirk&#8217;s death has been quite good at taking attention away from basic human rights violations happening in Gaza. Kirk has defended Israel and claimed that it was not &#8220;starving Gazans,&#8221; although some conservative outlets have been quick to point out the Christian nationalist&#8217;s sudden change of heart.<a href="https://thegrayzone.com/2025/09/12/charlie-kirk-netanyahu-israel-assassination/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <em>Grayzone</em> reported that</a> Kirk refused a funding offer from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu just before his death in Utah at an event at Utah Valley University. Could this have something to do with his death? Or was it just incredibly convenient that he happened to be talking about it?</p>
  519. <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfAPpAFeaMc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">As an evangelical Christian,</a> Kirk had framed his support in religious and moral terms, stating that Israel is &#8220;not like every other nation&#8221; and that there is a &#8220;moral commitment&#8221; to the land based on biblical truth. <span class="svelte-1sntxl4">He condemned antisemitism as &#8220;poison for the mind&#8221; and &#8220;demonic evil,&#8221; and positioned TPUSA as a counter to anti-Israel activism on college campuses.</span></p>
  520. <p>Is it all a part of the psyop? Why is everything about Kirk and his rhetoric lately? Why has the right descended into mass hysteria, threatening and doxing those who didn&#8217;t like Kirk?</p>
  521. <p>Is Israel&#8217;s incursion into Gaza being ignored because so many are focused on the death of Kirk? What do you think? We want to hear your thoughts!</p>

  556. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The United States ruling class is becoming increasingly unhinged. They no longer seek just to control those underneath them; they are now eating their own, likely with a wider goal in mind. Representative Nancy Mace has accused Ilhan Omar of inciting violence and wants to &#8220;punish&#8221; the democrat.</p>
  557. <p>Mace has said she will introduce a resolution to remove Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar from her House committee assignments over remarks the latter made following the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk.  Omar singled out Mace in her comments, claiming harassment, <a href="https://www.rt.com/news/624812-kirk-remakrs-congress-clash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accoridng to a report by <em>RT. </em></a></p>
  558. <p><a class="refer-link" style="line-height: 1.3em; display: block; background-color: #f1f1f1; color: #870404; padding: 8px 30px 8px 15px; font-weight: 600; border-radius: 8px; font-size: 1.2em; position: relative; border-left: 12px solid #870404;" href="https://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/charlie-kirk-psyop-continues-divide-and-conquer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charlie Kirk Psyop Continues: Divide And Conquer</a></p>
  559. <p>Omar, who was born in Somalia and became a US citizen in 2000, criticized Republican lawmakers who blamed the left for Kirk’s death. Speaking last week to commentator Mehdi Hasan, she accused them of fostering hostility toward political opponents and said: “These people are full of s**t.”</p>
  560. <p>She singled out Mace and US President Donald Trump, saying, “You have people like Nancy Mace, who constantly harass people that she finds inferior and wants them not to exist in this country … and you have people like Trump, who has incited violence against people like me.”</p>
  561. <p><a class="refer-link" style="line-height: 1.3em; display: block; background-color: #f1f1f1; color: #870404; padding: 8px 30px 8px 15px; font-weight: 600; border-radius: 8px; font-size: 1.2em; position: relative; border-left: 12px solid #870404;" href="https://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/christian-nationalism-on-the-rise-ruler-reposts-video-saying-women-should-not-be-allowed-to-vote" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christian Nationalism On the Rise: Ruler Reposts Video Saying Women Should Not Be Allowed To Vote</a></p>
  562. <p>Omar also called the video of Kirk’s shooting “really mortifying,” and she said that her thoughts were with his wife and children.</p>
  563. <p>“She is inciting violence against conservatives in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s political assassination,” Mace said in a video standing outside Omar’s office. “We have been villainized and dehumanized far too long. You can take your Sharia-loving, anti-American self back to Somalia.”</p>
  564. <p>Mace, in earlier posts, had blamed Democrats for fostering a climate of political violence, saying, “If you have a different opinion from the left, they want to kill you.”  To be honest, it sure looks like republicans are harboring the same opinion. Just ask what they want done to you if you didn&#8217;t like Charlie Kirk.</p>
  565. <p>Neither side is the party of freedom, and neither is the party of free speech. Neither party is the party of &#8220;live and let live.&#8217; Both parties want to use the force of the ruling class to make you comply with their ideas, whether they are good ideas or not. That is not freedom. That&#8217;s slavery.</p>
  566. <p>The murder of Charlie Kirk has turned out the worst in both sides of the political spectrum, showing, once again, that statism is not moral. Stop being republicans and democrats and start being humans.</p>

  646. <p>When a nation’s top military commander openly admits to slaughtering more than 200,000 people — more than 10 percent of an entire population — while boasting that no legal constraints ever slowed him down, the world must recognize this for what it is: genocide. That is exactly what former Israeli army chief Herzi Halevi confessed this week, confirming what human rights groups, legal scholars, and the Palestinian Health Ministry have long documented.</p>
  647. <p>Halevi, who led Israel’s assault on Gaza for 17 months before resigning in March, spoke to residents in southern Israel: “This isn’t a gentle war. We took the gloves off from the first minute. Sadly not earlier.” His words were not a slip; they were a proud declaration of a campaign so brutal that even Israel’s own military lawyers never once restricted his actions.</p>
  648. <p>“Not once has anyone restricted me. Not once,” he repeated, dismissing the idea that legal or moral boundaries applied. Instead, he framed military lawyers as little more than PR cover: “There are legal advisers who say, ‘We will know how to defend this legally in the world,’ and this is very important for the state of Israel.” In other words, the law isn’t a constraint; it’s a narrative to be manipulated.</p>
  649. <h2>A death toll too massive to ignore</h2>
  650. <p>The <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/former-israeli-army-chief-admits-palestinian-casualties-gaza" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scale of the carnage</a> is almost unfathomable. Gaza’s Health Ministry reports 64,803 Palestinians killed and 164,264 wounded since October 7, 2023, but thousands more remain buried under rubble, uncounted. Independent analyses, including leaked Israeli intelligence data, suggest more than 80% of the dead are civilians, including women and children. To put it in perspective: If a foreign military killed 10% of America’s population, that would mean 33 million Americans dead or maimed.</p>
  651. <p>Yet Israel’s apologists still dismiss these numbers as “Hamas propaganda”, a claim debunked by the United Nations and humanitarian agencies worldwide. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is <a href="http://genocide.news/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investigating Israel for genocide</a>, while the International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes. Even the world’s largest association of genocide scholars recently passed a resolution, endorsed by 86% of its members, stating that Israel’s actions “meet the legal definition of genocide” under the 1948 UN convention.</p>
  652. <h2>Starvation as a weapon, hospitals as targets</h2>
  653. <p>The brutality extends far beyond bombs. Last month, famine was officially declared in Gaza after Israel enforced a total blockade, cutting off food, water, and medical supplies. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that 361 <a href="http://starvation.news/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Palestinians have already died from malnutrition</a>, including 124 children. Hospitals, which are supposedly protected under the Geneva Conventions, have been systematically bombed, with Israeli forces even dressing as medics to infiltrate and attack patients.</p>
  654. <p>When a nation deliberately starves civilians and obliterates healthcare infrastructure, it’s a premeditated campaign of annihilation.</p>
  655. <p>Israel’s defenders still cling to the narrative of “self-defense” after the October 7 Hamas attacks, which killed 1,200 people. But two years of relentless bombardment — with a death toll now 50 times higher on the Palestinian side — exposes the lie.</p>
  656. <p>Halevi’s successor, current IDF chief Eyal Zamir, has continued the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/sep/12/israeli-ex-commander-confirms-palestinian-casualties-are-more-than-200000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pattern of defiance</a>. According to Haaretz, Zamir ignored legal advice from Israel’s military advocate general, who warned against displacing 1 million Gazans without ensuring their safety. The result? Thousands trapped in rubble, families forced to flee repeatedly, and a humanitarian catastrophe that grows worse by the day.</p>
  657. <p>Halevi’s admissions aren’t just a smoking gun. They’re a confession. When a military commander brags about taking “the gloves off” while <a href="http://violence.news/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">200,000 people lie dead or wounded</a>, there’s no more room for denial.</p>
