[PJ] Many people over the years how the left, with its glorification of delusion and deviance, could possibly align with Islamic movements that disparage the West for the very hedonism and dissipation that the left idolizes. In this brisk, clear, and massively important new investigation of this peculiar coalition, The Red/Green Axis 3.0: America Wake Up or Be Destroyed, veteran investigative journalist James Simpson offers a chilling answer: "Their ultimate goal is power. Period. Nothing more, nothing less; and of course, the unearned wealth that goes with it." In this indispensable little volume, Simpson details the myriad ways they’re working now to attain that power.
Simpson exposes the interlocking structure of tax-exempt organizations that fuel what he describes forthrightly as a Communist movement — not socialist, certainly not democratic, but full-on Communist in its desire to destroy the United States as a free society and establish in its place a totalitarian government that will, due to modern technological advances, be able to control every aspect of individual lives more than the Soviet Union or East Germany or Democratic Kampuchea ever dreamed of doing.
And they’re working toward this goal with tax relief from the United States government. Simpson notes that many tax-exempt organizations are legitimate, "like many churches. But many are very partisan, and in some cases, like George Soros’ Open Society foundations, openly advocate and promote America’s destruction."
While these movements present themselves as grass-roots groupings of committed activists, in reality, they’re massively-funded, top-down, rigidly controlled organizations in which the cadres dutifully march in lockstep, anticipating the totalitarian future their leaders so ardently desire to impose upon us.
[NYP] If "The Golden Thread," the new two-volume history of the Western tradition, landed with a thud, it’s a matter of sheer weight.
Altogether about 12 pounds of book and 1,968 pages of text, "The Golden Thread" is a prodigious product — and an even more prodigious achievement.
At a time when Western civilization has been successfully "de-centered" in academia and Western civ classes relegated to the dustbin of history, the book is a counter-cultural act.
It’s devoted to the idea that learning about our own civilization should take priority over learning about others, and that we won’t realize why it’s so vital to defend our tradition without first understanding it.
"It should come as no surprise," co-authors Allen Guelzo and James Hankins write in the introduction, "that the recent generations of Westerners who believe that the West is uniquely evil have been taught nothing at all about it."
#1
The joke is that younger generation, the one that needs it most because civics has been dropped, no longer read. Better bet would be to turn it into a entertaining Youtube series.
#2
Only those of that generation who got all their information from bad teachers and the left side of the internet. The growth of Turning Point USA snd such shows that ever more of Gen Z and Millennials hinger for real information instead of propaganda, and have enough background to recognize and appreciate it when they find a source.

[Regnum] The war in Yemen is rapidly escalating. Houthi forces (Ansar Allah) currently control vast swathes of northern and western Yemen, including the Red Sea coast.
The central government of Yemen, with its capital in Aden, retains control of a significant part of the south and east of the country, as well as the important areas of Marib and Taiz, where active fighting is ongoing.
Passions are so intense and the stakes are so high that both sides are gradually beginning to seek out so-called "game-changers"—tools and tactics that will break the opponent's will. Everything from previously unannounced missiles to deepfakes is being used. However, such moves don't always lead to successful outcomes.
Ansar Allah's opponents—primarily Saudi Arabia—have for years portrayed the Houthis as poorly educated militias fighting with outdated weapons. However, the 2026 campaign has shown that they are quite capable of keeping up with the times.
For example, Anthropic, a company developing AI solutions, discovered that the Houthis were using the Claude app extensively to adjust artillery fire and improve the accuracy of ballistic missile and UAV launches.
To avoid suspicion, Yemeni proxies purchased accounts belonging to residents of other Arab countries (including Saudi Arabia) and Eastern Europe. Later, the British platform Sheba Intelligence reported a similar problem: according to its data, Ansar Allah activists created a network of fake shell organizations that purchased satellite imagery from private individuals and used it to plan operations in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and against targets in Saudi Arabia.
The project didn't stop at simply calculating the projectiles' trajectories: Ansar Allah utilized artificial intelligence to its fullest potential, including actively generating provocative deepfakes featuring senior officers and political figures in the pro-Saudi government.
The most effective was the AI avatar of Lieutenant General Tariq Saleh, one of the leaders of the anti-Houthi camp and a civil war veteran. A fake recording, allegedly showing Saleh ordering an organized retreat from the West Bank, instantly went viral and was shared among dozens of local journalists and online activists. As a result, at least four major units voluntarily abandoned their positions, facilitating the Houthis' capture of strategic heights.
By the time Aden learned of the AI attack and attempted to take action, it was too late: the Houthis had not only escalated their offensive along the coast but also threatened the garrison on the islands at the mouth of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, forcing them to lay down their arms. As a result, the pro-Saudi forces' defenses in the coastal areas, built over years, crumbled.
Subsequently, innovations were noticed not only in the offensive. The Houthis' approach to their defenses also changed. Within two weeks, Ansar Allah fighters dug a network of trenches in the mountainous region of Jabal Kabub, near the coast of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
According to preliminary estimates, the total length of the fortifications is approximately 30 kilometers, and they are constructed using the latest engineering techniques. For the Houthis, accustomed to relying on mobility and daring semi-guerrilla raids in their war with the government in Aden, this behavior appears highly atypical and seemingly dictated from the outside. However, it is entirely consistent with the logic of maintaining long-term control over strategically important territories.
However, it appears that the Houthis aren't the only ones seeking to revise the traditional model of military operations in these parts. Their main adversary, Saudi Arabia, is also seeking alternatives. After the virtual defeat of pro-Saudi forces on the west coast, Riyadh found itself in a vulnerable position. Coupled with the diminishing effectiveness of airstrikes against the advancing forces, the kingdom needed a move with a powerful media impact.
This marked the first use of the Chinese Dongfeng-15A (DF-15A) short-range ballistic missile, the possession of which by the Saudis had previously only been rumored. The DF-15A booster module was discovered, in particular, in Marib province, where fierce fighting has been ongoing for several weeks, with Ansar Allah advance units attempting to drive central government forces into a cauldron.
Given the stated range of the missile (600–900 km), the strike could well have been carried out from the kingdom’s border regions, which could be considered the first instance of Saudi strategic missile forces participating in the war in Yemen.
And judging by the rapidly growing effectiveness of Ansar Allah's air defenses—in mid-September, Houthi anti-aircraft gunners even managed to shoot down a modified Royal Air Force Boeing F-15SA Eagle II fighter jet, marking the first loss in the Saudi Arabian military's air force in a decade—the importance of diversifying strike assets will only increase in the near future.
However, Riyadh, apparently, at the last minute became alarmed by the potential consequences of a drastic change in the status quo. This is not so much about possible retaliatory strikes by the Houthis, whose missile capabilities are comparable to those of the Saudis, but rather about complaints from its strategic ally, the United States.
Riyadh has sworn for decades that it has not purchased missiles from Beijing since the 2000s and is focused solely on the American military-industrial complex. Therefore, the Saudi Ministry of Defense has made no comment on the missile strike on Marib.
At the same time, both the Houthis and the opposing camp are convinced that the enemy is exhausted by the fighting and is already at the limit of its capabilities. Therefore, a single, effective, targeted strike will break it.
This means that in the near future, everyone will be trying out more and more new tactics and tools in search of that very “game changer” that will finally turn the tide in their favor.

We’ve reported on European countries that are barely recognizable anymore after allowing a virtual invasion of immigrants, many of them from Middle Eastern and North African countries.
In Paris, some residents claim there are “no-go zones" in the City of Light, where non-Muslims and law enforcement are most certainly not welcomed. In England, meanwhile, newly arrived migrants openly push for Sharia law. In Spain, which in January gave expedited citizenship to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, they’ve recently been facing waves of protests after an estimated 72,000 Moroccans swarmed into the Spanish city of Ceuta in July.
Many went back, but authorities estimate that over 10,000-13,000 remain.
One country that’s been pushing back is Italy under the direction of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. At the end of July, in the wake of the Ceuta travesty, the Interior Ministry ordered air and sea borders with Spain closed, temporarily suspending the Schengen free movement pact. (Spain and Italy do not share a land border.)
On Sunday, she announced further moves intended to keep Italy… Italian.
Italian PM Meloni:
The proposed measure will introduce an obligation for the parents of foreign students with serious school-integration problems to learn Italian, and it will introduce a ban on the burqa and niqab at school.
The proposed measure will introduce an obligation for the parents of foreign students with serious school-integration problems to learn Italian, and it will introduce a ban on the burqa and niqab at school.
In Italy, nobody, in the name of a real or supposed tradition, can decide that a young woman must hide herself.
Equality between men and women is not negotiable. It is not negotiable on our streets and it is not negotiable in our schools.
She said Sunday that she will not allow the foreign takeover of schools to the point where Italian natives don’t even feel like they belong:
Appearing on Sunday at the Fenix, the annual national youth festival organised by Gioventù Nazionale, the youth wing of her Brothers of Italy (FdI) party, told her student supporters that Italian children should not become a minority in their own classrooms.
It’s unthinkable that in an Italian classroom, Italian children feel cornered because they’ve become the minority. It can’t be done,” she said, according to Corriere della Sera.
The Italian premier said her Council of Ministers would therefore “soon introduce a law on the maximum number of foreign students in classes.”
Those are common sense proposals, ones that are surely causing other European leaders’ heads to explode — but she had more.
If you come to Italy, she continued, you will treat women the way we treat them in the West, and Italia will not tolerate sex crimes, discrimination and rampant oppression of females. “We go to school with our faces uncovered, and in Italy, no one, in the name of a real or presumed tradition, can decide that a young woman must hide. Gender equality is non-negotiable,” she said.
This measure is a decade too late but EU globalists love bragging about low-hanging fruit. pic.twitter.com/WqclQkOcYs
It’s been a terrible thing to watch as too many European countries have decided that giving up their identity, bowing to their suicidal compassion, and allowing values and norms that are antithetical to Western civilization to become the norm is the way forward. The failure is also a massive warning of what will happen here if the Democratic Socialists and far leftists expand their already-growing power base, because what’s happened to Europe is exactly what they want.
Meloni is saying loud and clear, Basta (enough!).

[Federalist] Pro-Palestinian protesters descended on Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia over the weekend, waving flags and chanting "Free Palestine" outside Ed Sheeran's concert, one week after Macklemore got pulled from Sheeran's Loop Tour entirely. The rapper had used his opening slot at MetLife Stadium to push the same slogan from the stage, and according to Macklemore, Sheeran told him that Patriots owner Robert Kraft rallied other stadium owners behind an ultimatum: keep Macklemore on the bill, lose the venue. Sheeran, for his part, says the call wasn't his, calls the whole conflict "a human tragedy" on both sides, and has mostly tried to stay out of the blast radius.
That was then. More recently, the coward has gone all in on the Palestine genocide side rather than contradict people he wants to share the stage with, no matter their propensity for appearing on stage in a giant hook-nose, making the Nazi salute — stage-owners be damned.
I want to set the tour drama aside for a moment, because underneath the chanting and the flags is a premise nobody in that crowd seems to have actually examined: free Palestine from what, exactly, to become what, exactly?
There has never been a sovereign Palestinian state. Not once, not ever, not under any government, any constitution, any flag flying over internationally recognized borders. The land in question passed from the Ottoman Empire to the British Mandate to a 1947 partition plan the surrounding Arab nations rejected outright, choosing war instead. From 1948 to 1967, the West Bank sat under Jordanian control and Gaza under Egyptian control — not under Palestinian self-governance, and neither Jordan nor Egypt showed the slightest interest in creating one during those nineteen years when they held the exact territory activists now insist must be "freed." Today's Palestinian Authority holds observer status at the United Nations, not full member-state recognition, because full statehood has never actually existed to lose.
Contrast that with the land's other history, the one "Free Palestine" chants tend to skip past entirely. The United Kingdom of Israel under Saul, David, and Solomon. The divided Kingdom of Israel in the north and Kingdom of Judah in the south after that. The Hasmonean Kingdom, won back through actual armed revolt against a Greek empire trying to stamp out Jewish worship by force. And now the modern State of Israel, re-established in 1948 and internationally recognized within about 11 minutes of declaring independence. Four distinct eras of Jewish sovereignty stretching back 3,000 years, plus the modern state — five separate governments, on the same land, predating any Arab national claim to it by millennia. That's not propaganda. That's archaeology, ancient text, and a documentary record longer than most nations on earth can produce for their own founding.
[IsraelTimes] Singer calls Hamas October 7 attack ‘horrific,’ says ‘what is happening in Gaza is catastrophic,’ as small group protests outside show over rapper’s removal for anti-Israel remarks.
This “free Palestine” movement is a social contagion. None of these people have any knowledge of the history of the conflict or the current politics of the region.
It’s just the latest thing to show off, like the trans movement or a new pair of Nikes.
[twitchy] Leftists like Bernie Sanders and AOC spend a whole bunch of time deriding billionaires.
To listen to them, billionaires are the cause of every bad thing in the world currently.
One of their frequent targets is Elon Musk. They really hate that guy. One family would probably disagree with them, though.
Terry lost his ability to talk to his family due to ALS. Because of Elon's Neuralink brain implant, Terry can now think a thought and the machine will speak it to his family.
He was able to say 'I love you' to his wife for the first time in a long time. Literal tears. The video is a must watch.
