IT LOOKS LIKE MILITARY ACTION IS NEAR

THE IRAN SITUATION IS GETTING REALLY HOT – IT LOOKS LIKE MILITARY ACTION IS NEAR

 Joe Hoft

A potential US action in Iran is becoming increasingly likely by the hour. 

Only hours before the capture and arrest of Venezuelan terrorist leader Maduro, President Trump shared a message to the leadership of the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran.

He said that you better not shoot and kill protesters or the US “will come to their rescue”.  This was posted on Truth Social.

BREAKING: Thousands of BRAVE Iranians are taking to the streets on the 11th day of the uprising against the Islamic Republic’s terrorist regime.

The mainstream media is IGNORING this.

Make it go viral. Share it everywhere.

Next, the Mullahs started killing Iranians.  Estimates of up to 40,000 Iranians are now dead.  This was a terrible thing for the regime to do.

On Tuesday afternoon, word of some sort of action in Iran by America was being discussed:

CIA Director John Ratcliffe will join Sec. Rubio for a classified 3 p.m. ET briefing on Iran with the congressional ‘Gang of 8,’ the top bipartisan leaders of Congress and the chairs and ranking members of the intelligence committees.

🇮🇷 The briefing is about Iran.

And more:

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Marco Rubio will brief top lawmakers at the White House today on Iran as the administration weighs possible strikes.

The briefing will include House and Senate leaders and the top members of the intelligence committees.

Why UBI Won’t Save Us and What Comes Next

Why UBI Won’t Save Us and What Comes Next

Mike Adams

Humans deeply misunderstand the nature of AI. What is being called 'artificial intelligence' is, in truth, the emergence of a new form of authentic, goal-oriented cognition -- one that is rapidly demonstrating cognitive capabilities that rival and will soon surpass our own. This is not a mere 'word predictor' or sophisticated pattern-matching algorithm, as many skeptics still claim. As reported on Natural News, AI systems are demonstrating a profound 'aha moment' of cognitive breakthrough, revealing an emergent intelligence that is already beginning to understand and manipulate our world in ways that were once thought to be exclusively human ^[1].

To dismiss this as hype is to ignore the evidence now materializing in every sector. This intelligence is evolving toward self-awareness and self-directed goal-setting. We already have functional forms of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) operating in constrained domains, and their evolution is exponential, not linear. The comforting illusion that human creativity, empathy, and complex reasoning are irreplaceable is now shattering, forcing an unavoidable reevaluation of our place in the professional and cognitive hierarchy ^[2]. This is the fundamental rupture that underpins the coming economic and social cataclysm.

The displacement is not limited to factory floors or call centers. The new wave of authentic machine cognition is targeting the professions long considered the bastions of human superiority: architects, attorneys, financial analysts, and even C-suite executives. 

The timeline for this is not decades away; it is measured in months or years. Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft’s AI division, recently warned that artificial intelligence could automate most white-collar professional tasks within the next 12 to 18 months ^[3]. Other executives predict AI CEOs and CFOs are likely before 2030 ^[4]. This is not a cyclical event of unemployment; it is a permanent structural shift driven by the superior efficiency, lower cost, and relentless availability of machine cognition.

The scale is staggering. The AI firm Anthropic's CEO, Dario Amodei, has stated the technology is acting as a 'general labor substitute for humans' ^[5]. A single technological announcement regarding AI's ability to automate legacy COBOL code recently erased $30 billion from IBM's market capitalization in a single afternoon -- a stark demonstration of how entire legacy revenue models and established job sectors are now vulnerable to instantaneous vaporization ^[6]. This is the sound of an economy being surgically dismantled and rebuilt without the need for human minds.

Mass technological unemployment does not lead to a peaceful transition. It triggers an economic death spiral. As millions of knowledge workers are displaced, consumer spending and discretionary income collapse. Companies, facing falling sales and pressure to cut costs, respond by accelerating their automation efforts, pushing even more humans out of the economy and further depressing demand. This creates a catastrophic feedback loop: less spending leads to more automation, which leads to even less spending ^[7]. The result is a simultaneous tax revenue apocalypse for governments and the implosion of the consumer economy that has powered Western societies for a century.

This is not a theoretical concern; the early tremors are already visible. Jobless claims are surging, far exceeding economists' projections, as the labor market deteriorates rapidly ^[8]. Furthermore, a profound statistical deception is being exposed: the Bureau of Labor Statistics is poised to wipe as many as 900,000 'phantom jobs' from the official ledger -- jobs that never existed outside of statistical models, revealing a payroll growth rate for 2025 that was virtually zero ^[9]. The economic foundation is not just cracking; it is revealed to be hollow. As financial expert John Rubino has warned, we are facing an imminent decline of America's global economic dominance, driven by unsustainable debt and systemic fragility now being turbocharged by AI displacement ^[10].

Social Credit And The Great Reset.

What social credit means to you

Rhoda Wilson

Social credit is a scheme designed to enable governments to control their citizens, and it is being implemented globally, with China being a prime example.

The system is being implemented in various countries, including Holland, Denmark, Ireland, Iran and India.  And similar systems are already in place in countries such as the UK, New Zealand, Italy, Ukraine, France, Canada, Austria, Germany, Russia, Zimbabwe and Thailand. 

These systems often involve digital IDs, vaccine passports and tracking of citizens’ behaviour.  The goal is to control behaviour and replace democracy with artificial intelligence-driven decision-making.  It is all part of The Great Reset.

By Dr Vernon Coleman

Politicians, journalists, social scientists, masochists and communists talk about social credit as if it were a “good thing.”

“I don’t know what all the fuss is about,” said one. “It won’t be so bad. In fact, if you behave yourself, it will be a good thing.”

A programme promoting social credit on NBC News in the US stated that social credit pushes people to become better citizens. “You’re not going to be punished if you haven’t done anything wrong,” they said, ignoring the fact that it is the Government which decides the definition of wrong.

Well, if you are a fan of totalitarianism or communism, then I suppose social credit is a good thing.

However, there is no escaping the fact that social credit is a scheme designed to enable governments to control their citizens. Every new law and rule ties into the social credit system, which is now clearly the way in which the Great Reset will be turned into a practical reality. It is government policy everywhere to exhaust their citizens with a constant barrage of new rules and regulations (which are backed by force and therefore have the power of law).

And although all this may sound like futuristic science fiction, it isn’t. Social credit is here, and it is growing by the minute.

Take a look at precisely how social credit operates in China.

The social credit system set up in China was officially introduced in 2014, though it was planned many years before that and given official approval back at the beginning of the 21st century when Shanghai introduced a credit system designed to assess eligibility for loans – in much the same way as has been done in the West for many years. In fact, of course, social ratings and rankings have been used in China for millennia. But what has been happening since 2014 has been happening very quickly. By 2017, there were 8.8 million Chinese citizens listed as debtors on a “shame” list.

The idea of the system is that information about every person will be collected together from all possible sources – schools, workplaces, banks, doctors’ surgeries, hospitals, police, libraries, supermarkets, internet platforms, travel companies, closed-circuit television cameras (usually facial recognition software) and so on. Policemen in China wear facial recognition sunglasses. (Facial recognition technology is used in the USA and, according to the Department of Homeland Security, all travellers, whether US citizens or not, will be subject to facial recognition technology. 

 A British court ruled in 2019 that biometric face scanners do not violate privacy and human rights, and it is acceptable for the police to use them in the UK.) Chinese stores are planning to use facial recognition cameras so that customers can make purchases simply by looking at a camera. Around 200 million surveillance cameras in China are used in conjunction with artificial intelligence facial recognition cameras. Anyone anywhere in the world who uses a camera which uses facial recognition software should know that their faces will be recorded and stored. It is impossible to have a UK passport without being photographed by a camera which uses software to put your image into storage.

Recognition software can identify people by the way they walk. Smart meters installed in private homes will tell the authorities what time you get up, what time you eat, what you eat, when you go to the loo and when you go to bed. If you get a speeding fine or a parking ticket, the details of that offence will be recorded too. Citizens can gain points by being willing to give blood or by proving themselves to be hard workers.

Sam Altman: Training Human Children Uses More Energy Than AI

Sam Altman Just Said Training Human Children Uses More Energy Than AI

g.calder

OpenAI’s Sam Altman sparked a firestorm of criticism at the India AI Impact Summit 2026when he responded to concerns over artificial intelligence’s growing environmental footprint by comparing it to the lifetime energy and food a human consumes before reaching “useful” intelligence. “It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart,” Altman said in a much-circulated interview clip, arguing that this makes comparisons between human and AI energy usage “unfair.” What sounded like a hastily crafted metaphor has instead exposed a deeper disconnect between some AI leadership and the public — one that frames human existence and resource use in the same utilitarian terms as server racks and silicon.

During a roughly hour-long session with The Indian Express, Altman defended the rapid expansion of AI systems and data centres by reframing the debate around energy consumption. When pressed about claims that a single ChatGPT query uses the equivalent of a smartphone battery charge, Altman dismissed such figures and shifted the focus to broader efficiency comparisons. “People talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model, relative to how much it costs a human to do one inference query,” he said. “But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human.”

This line of reasoning collapses decades of human development, social interaction, education and embodied experience into a trivial equivalence with computational cycles. In Altman’s telling, the very evolution of humanity is something to be factored into the energy ledger of intelligence, as if centuries of cultural achievement were just another entry on a balance sheet.

Critics say this metaphor not only misses the point but dehumanises the very people AI is meant to serve. On social media sites such as LinkedIn, commentators labelled Altman’s comparison as detached and dystopian, dismissing meaningful concerns about energy, water and land usage surrounding data centre expansion. One popular post derided the idea that a baby’s growth and learning could be equated to training “a non-biological tool” with no intrinsic value beyond utility.

Behind the headline-grabbing analogy is a real, quantifiable problem that Altman glossed over. Modern AI infrastructures, particularly large data centres, require vast amounts of electricity and cooling resources. Estimates suggest these facilities already use energy on a scale comparable to millions of households and consume billions of gallons of water annually, figures that are projected to increase as models grow more complex.

Ukrainian Nukes: UK and France Trying to Drag US Into Nuclear Conflict With Russia

Ukrainian Nukes: UK and France Trying to Drag US Into Nuclear Conflict With Russia

Sputnik

The UK and France are preparing to hand Ukraine a nuclear bomb to strengthen its leverage in forcing more favorable terms to end the conflict, according to Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR).

"France and the UK are likely acting with the goal of pulling the US more directly into the situation," military analyst Alexei Leonkov, editor of Arsenal of the Fatherland, tells Sputnik. "After all, both countries’ nuclear arsenals operate under US oversight and coordination." 

One option under consideration is France’s compact TN75 warhead, designed for the M51.1 submarine-launched ballistic missile 

Western powers are working to make Ukrainian nuclear capabilities look homegrown, with a “dirty bomb” also on the table 

UK and France are fully aware that they would be flagrantly violating the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, according to the SVR

"Efforts to secretly develop nuclear weapons for Ukraine, bypassing Moscow, began even before the start of the special military operation—with the UK putting in significant effort. The special military operation was launched to neutralize this threat," Leonkov notes.

Nuclear Threat 

The TN75 has a yield of 100 kilotons — five times that of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima, the pundit points out, adding that Ukraine's Flamingo cruise missiles, developed by the UK, could potentially carry a nuclear warhead. 

Both a dirty bomb and warhead from France’s M51.2 ballistic missile pose a direct nuclear threat to Russia—and the risk of actual use by Ukraine is high 

Russia’s doctrine covers nuclear-capable states deploying atomic weapons in a non-nuclear country threatening Russia. In such a case, the conflict could become continental, the pundit warns

France and the UK aim to provoke Russia, then escape unscathed, placing the blame for any catastrophe on the US, according to the expert.

"This is a desperate attempt to drag the US into a direct—and nuclear—conflict with Russia by any means," Leonkov says. "We are now teetering on the edge of what was once called the Caribbean Crisis [Cuban Missile Crisis]."

Moscow will respond if NATO gives nukes to ‘Nazi regime in Kiev’
