TOP STORIES
SENATE PLANS ON RENEWING NSA SPYING THROUGH TRICKERY – According to “insiders,” a bipartisan effort is underway to renew the NSA surveillance “law,” Section 702, that allows the government to spy on Americans with little to no reason through the FISA court. The plan is to attach the renewal to another unrelated bill that everyone has to vote for.
UKRAINIAN OFFICER CONNECTED TO NORD STREAM PIPELINE EXPLOSION – According to a report produced by both Washington Post and Der Spiegel, a top Ukrainian officer is alleged to have played a leading role in the sabotaging of the Nord Stream pipeline. The report cited unnamed officials all claiming the officer was Roman Chervinsky, 48, who was a member of Ukraine’s Special Forces. He is the one who allegedly coordinated the operation.
AMERICA’S CREDIT RATING AT RISK OF BEING BUSTED DOWN – The credit rating agency Moody’s is warning the American government that they risk seeing their last AAA credit rating downgraded after they changed the outlook of America’s debt to “negative.”
”In the context of higher interest rates, without effective fiscal policy measures to reduce government spending or increase revenues, Moody’s expects that the US’ fiscal deficits will remain very large, significantly weakening debt affordability,” the statement said.
VIOLENCE AGAINST JEWS ON THE RISE AS MSM PRESSES IN ON ANTI-ISRAEL NARRATIVE – The MSM is working hard to paint Israel as a bloodthirsty genocidal maniac intent on killing all Palestinians, including children, and the result of their psychological terrorism can be seen in the latest statistics from the NYPD that shows “Anti-Jewish hate crimes” have risen by 214 percent in the month of October alone.
CENSUS BUREAU WANTS TO KNOW YOUR SEXUAL PREFERENCE – The U.S. Census Bureau wants Americans 15 or older to tell them what their sexual preference is. Republican Senators Marco Rubio and JD Vance sent a letter demanding the agency rescind the proposal as such questions bear no relevance to the mission of the census bureau.

LAHAINA POLICE DEFEND SHUTTING DOWN ROADS THAT LED TO SCORES DYING – Lahaina Police are defending their decisions to block roads that led to scores of citizens being trapped, to be burned alive in their cars, due to the gross negligence of the handling of the evacuation of the town as the wildfire bore down on it.
Their excuses include they cut off roads that had downed power lines and roads that led to the fire, though numerous eyewitnesses said they funneled people TOWARDS the fire, not away from it.
ICELAND ON VOLCANO ALERT – A series of earthquakes have rocked the tiny island of Iceland and led many to believe a major volcanic eruption is imminent. People have been evacuated from the regions where the earthquakes have been ongoing in anticipation of what could be a major volcanic eruption.

U.S. WARNS CHINA IT WILL PROTECT PHILIPPINES FROM THEIR AGGRESSION – As dozens of Chinese ships reportedly harassed and chased off Philippine vessels within their own waters, America is now warning China that it will protect the Philippines from Chinese aggression. The moves come as Xi and Biden are set to meet in San Francisco.
SPAIN’S RIGHT HEADING TOWARDS OPEN REVOLT? – After the Spanish right won the plurality of votes in this year’s election, but failed to win enough seats to form a new government ousting the cancer that is the left, the left made a deal with Catalan secessionists to secure power, a deal that is causing massive protests in the country, especially Madrid, where the latest protests may have drawn over half a million protesters, with no end in sight anytime soon.

U.S. POLITICS (M-F)
70 “REPUBLICANS” VOTED TO REWARD FBI WITH SHINY NEW HQ – U.S. House Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) tried to defund the FBI’s new plans to build a shiny new HQ to further increase their ability to target Americans for criminal prosecution for daring to oppose the DNC-CCP. The Republican Party showed that at least 70 “republicans” are quislings in league with the DNC when the motion was shot down 273 to 145 thanks to the votes by these DNC-CCP plants within the party.
RNC THREATENS CANDIDATES WHO ATTEND IOWA CHRISTIAN EVENT – An event the RNC alleges is in competition for their official debate events is deemed off-limits by the same failure of an organization who gave us the disasters of the 2020, 2022, and 2023 elections. They are warning candidates that they will blacklist them from future debates if they attend this Christian event in Iowa. Some believe the problem is the RNC doesn’t like to associate with Christianity anymore. This writer tends to agree with that assessment.
“It has come to the attention of the RNC Counsel’s Office that several Republican presidential candidates have been invited to participate in an open-press event in Iowa in November at which they would ‘gather around the table to have a moderated, friendly, and open discussion about the issues.’ In other words, a debate,” the RNC counsel’s office stated.

EU LAWS COULD PRICE CHICKENS OUT OF THE MARKET – In the name of allegedly saving the planet (at the expense of humans), the EU has passed draconian laws that will significantly raise the price of bringing chickens to the market. The law could have a profound effect on the poor, which most of these anti-human laws that promise to save the planet from humans usually do.
CREDIT TIGHTENS AS BANKS SIGNAL THE LITTLE GUY WILL SUFFER MOST – Efforts by the Federal Reserve to rein in inflation have led banks to increasingly tighten their lending standards so much that now 83 percent of banks have signaled their intentions to stop lending to small businesses and concentrate instead on lending to big businesses.
This will help accelerate the already-accelerated process begun by Covid lockdowns of less and less people owning more and more of our markets, making it all the easier for a few billionaire elites to dictate to the rest of Americans their terms of existence using the fascistic soft power of government-protected and approved monopolies.

CULTURE (M-TH)
POLISH NATIONALISTS PROTEST ANTI-POLISH LEFT’S “WIN” – After the anti-Polish, Pro-EU left “won the recent election, Polish nationalists have been taken to the streets to protest the election and signal their unwillingness to participate in a government that is by its own platform (like the DNC is to America) anti-Polish.
Hundreds of thousand protested in Warsaw again this past weekend, stating their intentions not to acknowledge a government that hates its own people. The left has yet to form a government as the right still has the first chance at staving out the seditionists before they ever take power.
CLIMATE CHANGE NARRATIVE LEADING TO HUMAN SELF-DEPOPULATION MOVEMENT – A combination of 13 studies involving more than 10,000 participants reveal that the people who support the narrative that the planet is about to die due to man-made climate change unless we hand over all of our freedoms, and our lives, to the state’s approved climate change experts don’t want to have kids.
The studies suggest the people who support the climate change beast narrative despise humanity as a whole, not wanting to contribute to the virus that humanity is to these depraved lunatics who now have more social and cultural power, significantly more, than Christians do.
