Sure its a bit of a shock. And can you imagine the level of Paul Watson’s shock as he unleashes full critical thinking power while taking in the damage he now surveys in his native England? The Sharia forces have dug in. The police, under the instruction of NWO zealot Starmer, have rolled over. Content to enforce one Orwellian arrest after another. No go zones in your own Country. The rewritten history of your own people by the media. And certain arrest and imprisonment if you so much as utter the wrong position. Currently, the Muslim population in England is approaching 7%. And at 10% they will unleash a jihad against England that will be unbearable to watch as an ancestor from those ancient Isles.

The UK will be a NWO stronghold from its Capitol in the City of London before the stated UN Goals of 2030. The globalists will sacrifice their Countries on the alter of technocracy and Chinese style totalitarianism. And that will alter western culture in untold ways.

Back in the United States of America, the religious demographic landscape of the United States, particularly the relative sizes of Muslim, Christian, Catholic, and other religious populations offers a broader context for understanding the comparative scope of the activist movements relying on fear and illusion to intimidate the larger public.

Investigations, tax records, and leaks reveal a complex network of nonprofit foundations and intermediaries channeling millions to left wing causes, including groups tied to Antifa and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Funds, often funneled through “dark money” 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) nonprofits like the Tides Foundation and Arabella Advisors, support the anti American protests, fuel the bail funds, and train groups like Refuse Fascism and DSA chapters. It is an enemy within.

The same can be said for the race towards Sharia law in the United States.

In contrast, U.S. religious demographics (2020–2024) show 214.5M Christians (132M Protestant, 66M Catholic), 3.6M Muslims, and 85.8M unaffiliated, dwarf activist numbers.

Even the smallest religious group, Muslims, is 30–36 times larger than these activist cohorts. Despite their funding and visibility, the niche appeal and decentralized nature of Antifa, DSA, and CPUSA ensure they remain a tiny fraction (<0.04%) of the U.S. population, unlikely to overwhelm established religious or social institutions.

So that brings us to that number of Muslims. 3.6 million, projected to be roughly 5-6 million within ten years. By 2035, the number of Americans who are not Muslim is projected to be approximately 363.5–364.5 million, or about 98.3–98.5% of the total U.S. population.

And of course a portion of those Muslims have zero interest in pursuing Sharia law. Let me say that again, and of course a portion of those Muslims have zero interest in pursuing Sharia law. Data on recent Muslim immigrants to the U.S. is less detailed but can be estimated from Pew Research Center findings and U.S. Census immigration patterns. And, obviously, it is these patterns that have driven the American Muslim community toward embracing Sharia law.

Following the money and seditious activities into the financial backing of left wing activist groups like Antifa and the Democratic Socialists of America leads anyone remotely interested into a dark world of political vipers and NWO zealots.

And leading the charge publicly, everybody’s favorite NWO collaborator, Billionaire global sovereignty eater philanthropist poser George Soros and his sons Alex and Jonathan have orchestrated political unrest in the United States through funding from the Open Society Foundations since the mid 1990s. A network that has disbursed billions to progressive causes including human rights, criminal justice reform, and democratic initiatives. Causes now exposed for what they are after USAID was gutted and money trails lead back to bought politicians and riots disguised as protest funding.

In an August 27, 2025, Truth Social post, Trump demanded RICO charges against the Soroses, claiming their support for “violent protests” constituted organized crime. He reiterated this in a September 12 Fox News interview, vowing a racketeering probe into OSF for “real agitation” beyond mere demonstrations.

For decades, George Soros, the shadowy billionaire puppet master, has been funneling his fortune into the heart of America’s chaos, starting his dark crusade in the 1980s with so called “philanthropy” eventually morphing into tearing down the nation’s moral and legal fabric. The prime example of everything we were warned about by the Founders.

Through his Open Society Foundations, formalized in ’93, he’s pumped billions, $32 billion globally by some counts, into radical groups pushing everything from open borders to defunding the police, all under the guise of “human rights” and “racial equity.”

By the mid 90s, his U.S. operations were in full swing, bankrolling outfits like the Project on Death in America and anti-law enforcement initiatives, laying the groundwork for what many with eyes to see and ears to hear surmised as a deliberate assault on American sovereignty.

Matthew 24:9 “Then they shall deliver you up to be afflicted and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.”

We as a people, through our frustration and convenience have landed on the terms right and left to describe political views. Often expanded loosely as far right or far left to fuel the fire of those that would have us all destroyed.

As a musician, the first thing I am asked is “What kind of music do you play?” It is a simple and innocent question, but as a musician who draws from all genres, merely searching for a sound that resembles the now, it is a difficult question to answer. And so it goes with the question of, “Are you on the right or the left?” Most Americans would tell you neither. And like music, they are merely searching for the truth of the now.

We are Americans, with many roads leading us to our national identity. But the one thing that fuses that unity together has eroded into a shameful heap. And this is exactly what the founders explicitly warned us of. And their words are as relevant today as they were when they wrote them down. Some would argue, including myself, that they are critically important today. There can be no United States without a moral and ethical foundation.

The Founders believed that ethical integrity was essential for self governance, warning that moral failings in citizens or leaders could lead to despotism. And now we are up to our necks in treason. I guess it took until the 250th Anniversary for it all to be as clear as the noonday sun.

John Adams emphasized the dependency of the Constitution on a virtuous populace. Adams saw ethical perversion as a catalyst for societal collapse, driven by unchecked human passions.

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

In a 1798 letter to the Massachusetts Militia, he elaborated:

“But should the people of America once become capable of that deep simulation towards one another, and towards foreign nations, which assumes the language of justice and moderation while it is practising iniquity and extravagance... this country will be the most miserable habitation in the world; because we have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion.”

The mainstream media’s vendetta against Charlie Kirk isn’t about truth, it is about control. Kirk built his name by taking on the left’s sacred cows, the line between meritocracy and DEI, the political manipulation of open borders, and the morality of the hyper trend of gender ideology. Essentially in defense of the American family and the sanity and success of those traditional values.

His reward? A relentless globalist mockingbird media campaign to smear him as a bigot. Something he absolutely wasn't. Dropping hit pieces that cherry pick quotes or outright lie to inflame division.

So let’s dive into what Kirk really said and expose how the press distorted his words to bury his cogent and prescient message. Because calling out a corrupt media that thrives on lies and buries dissenters has to be done poste haste so that we can move forward.

First up, Kirk’s take on the Civil Rights Act. Media Matters and the NAACP screamed that he called the Civil Rights Act a “huge mistake,” accusing him of longing for segregation and peddling white supremacy. However... On a 2023 episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, Kirk stated, “The Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake in how it’s been applied. It’s been twisted into an anti-white weapon through quotas and DEI.”

In a 2022 X post, he wrote, “America was strong when immigration paused for 40 years. We need to prioritize our citizens.”

On MLK Day 2021, he posted, “MLK’s vision was noble, but his policies led to unintended consequences for families.” The media spin claimed he was glorifying Jim Crow. The truth? Kirk was criticizing how modern policies like affirmative action have been weaponized to favor groups over merit. A real problem for a society that is a thriving melting pot.

A 2023 Pew study shows 52% of Americans oppose race based admissions, backing Kirk’s point that DEI can divide rather than unite. Criticizing a system that punishes merit based fairness. Kirk’s argument was about policy gone haywire, not Black rights, and the press knows it, but the press dutifully counters Kirk’s argument with the ESG mandate of the Blackrock monopoly.

Then there’s the firestorm over Kirk’s comments on Black women and DEI. The Guardian and Black feminist bloggers howled that he claimed women like Michelle Obama, Joy Reid, Sheila Jackson Lee, and Ketanji Brown Jackson lacked “brain processing power” and “stole white slots,” branding it misogynoir.

What did Kirk actually say? On his show in July 2023, he said, “Some of these women Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, Sheila Jackson Lee, Ketanji Brown Jackson are elevated beyond their ability due to DEI. It’s not about their brain power, it’s about fairness.” An X post added, “Affirmative action often rewards identity over merit.” The media cropped his words to sound like a slur, but Kirk wasn’t denying their credentials, Obama’s got Princeton and Harvard Law, Jackson’s got Harvard undergrad and Law, Lee’s got NYU, Yale, and UVA Law.

His point? DEI can prioritize race over qualifications, a view 68% of Americans share, per a 2024 Gallup poll. Kirk was sparking a debate about meritocracy, not attacking Black women’s intelligence. The media sliced the quote, skipped the context, and cried hate speech. And I will add, that there are many more intelligent black women that are not elevated by mockingbird media due to beliefs that don't fit the script.

Yahoo News and PolitiFact hammered Kirk for saying he’d question a Black pilot’s qualifications, calling it a racist throwback to Jim Crow.

Kirk’s actual words, from a January 2024 Thoughtcrime episode (Rumble), were: “If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, ‘Boy, I hope he’s qualified.’ DEI in critical roles raises questions.” In a June 2025 YouTube Q&A, he doubled down: “Merit, not quotas, should decide who flies planes.” The media framed this as anti Black prejudice, but Kirk was questioning DEI policies in fields where lives were at stake ,not Black competence. FAA data confirms pilots of all races meet rigorous standards. Kirk’s concern echoes a 2024 Rasmussen poll where 55% of Americans worry DEI lowers standards. The media purposefully ignored the broader debate Kirk was trying to spark targeting a system half of the Country is concerned about. And the press played the race card to shut him down. Thus shutting half the Country down as well.

The SPLC and The Irish Times claimed Kirk said Black men “prowl” to “target whites for fun,” accusing him of inciting vigilante violence. What did he say? At a 2023 TPUSA Faith event (Media Matters clip), Kirk stated, “Happening all the time in urban America, prowling groups go around for fun to target people, and race plays a role.” Antifa and BLM blatantly target white people and anyone that threatens their Marxist narrative as Nazis and white supremacists and everybody knows it.

In a 2022 podcast, he asked, “If you’re a WNBA, pot smoking, Black lesbian, do you get treated better than a United States marine?” The media pounced, framing it as a racist blood libel.

But Kirk was referring to the Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan debacle where Griner was released and Whelan had been left behind until 2024.

A 2023 X post clarified his stance: “Crime is a problem, not a race. But the left excuses bad behavior when it fits their narrative.” The press ignored this, because “Kirk critiques crime culture, the finer details to his argument” doesn't sell pharmaceutical ads. And black criminals are routinely labeled as white or their race is completely ignored until public outcry demands answers.

The “great replacement” charge is another media lie dressed up as journalism. The ADL and Reuters claimed Kirk pushed a white genocide conspiracy, saying Democrats want to “replace white rural America” through immigration.

Kirk’s words, from a 2023 TPUSA event: “The great replacement strategy is about shifting demographics to favor one party.” An X post added, “Democrats love it when America becomes less white, it’s their path to power.”

The media screamed hate speech, tying it to the Buffalo shooting manifestos. But Kirk wasn’t preaching violence, he was analyzing electoral trends. Census data shows immigration boosts Democratic leaning populations, and a 2024 Gallup poll finds 60% of conservatives see illegal immigration as a cultural threat. Not to mention that Democrat politicians publicly defend their illegal immigrant constituent populations and their voting rights. Its not rocket science.

Kirk’s framing was provocative, but it’s a debate, not a dog whistle. The media’s reaction? Link him to extremists, ignore the data, and cash in. Kirk was calling out political strategy, not aiding and abetting the left's Marxist race war.

On transgender issues, the media went full scorched earth. GLAAD and HRC accused Kirk of calling for violence against trans people, citing his remark about handling them “like the 1950s.” But what did he say? On a 2023 Charlie Kirk Show episode, he said, “Transgender women in women’s locker rooms should be taken care of the way we used to take care of things in the 1950s and ‘60s.” On Lia Thomas: “It’s a mockery of fairness.” In 2021: “Transgenderism is a social contagion that confuses kids.” It all creates the question, when did transgenderism criticism become a holier than thou monolith? Its sudden injection into our civil discourse has been defended by the media as if it were a Religion.

The media spun this as a call for lynchings, but Kirk was referencing cultural pushback. Echoing social stigma, and not violence. The 1950s line was clumsy, no doubt, but it’s a far cry from incitement. A 2024 YouGov poll shows 65% of Americans oppose trans women in women’s sports, aligning with Kirk’s stance.

The media’s game? Take a metaphor, freeze it and polarize it as a threat, and bury the policy debate. Kirk was fighting for fairness, not hyperbole, and the press twisted it into hate.

Kirk’s point about a “militant edge” in some cases wasn’t a blanket slur, it was a call to examine rare but real patterns the media dismisses as “anecdotal” to protect their narrative.

Trans folks are far more likely to be victims four times the violence rate than shooters, but Kirk wasn’t denying that, he was urging scrutiny of ideology’s role in outliers, a debate the press shuts down with “epidemic” debunking that ignores the data’s nuances.

PolitiFact and Reuters claimed Kirk linked trans people to mass shootings, fueling anti-trans laws. Moments before his death, Kirk responded to a question about trans shooters, implying they’re overrepresented.

An X post after Nashville read: “Trans ideology has a militant edge.” In 2024: “Statistically, trans individuals are involved in violent incidents.” The media screamed disinformation, but Kirk was echoing a cultural concern.

Reuters data shows trans suspects in 0.11% of shootings (2014-2024), below their population share. Regardless of the rash of transgender violence in recent national jarring events.

And the media’s spin? Turn a sloppy statistic into a hate campaign, ignoring Kirk’s broader argument about mental health and ideology. He wasn’t targeting trans people, he was questioning a narrative, and the press shut it down with selective outrage.

Expanding on that, the last decade’s data reinforces Kirk’s instinct to probe deeper: Out of over 4,147 mass shootings from 2018-2025 per GVA, seven (0.17%) involved trans attackers under the broadest definition. No “epidemic,” as USA Today reported, with experts noting fewer than five trans involved plots out of 1,000+ since 2023.

Kirk wasn’t fabricating; he was spotlighting anomalies the media waves away, all while trans youth face 29% weapon threats at school vs. 7% of their peers. The real story? Bringing us to the undeniable fact that Guns save far more lives than they take in defense.

Giffords and Everytown accused Kirk of shrugging off school shootings as “the price” of the Second Amendment, tying it to trans issues. Kirk said in 2023: “Some gun deaths every single year are worth it to keep the Second Amendment.” Post-Uvalde: “More guns, not less.” The media called it callous, but Kirk was defending constitutional rights, not dismissing victims. CDC data cites 45,000 gun deaths annually, but a 2024 Gallup poll shows 58% of Americans support stronger 2A protections.

Kirk’s stance was unapologetic, but not heartless, he was prioritizing liberty over tragedy. The media’s trick? Frame him as a bloodthirsty gun nut, not a defender of rights. They buried the debate to vilify the man. But here’s the stat they really hate: Defensive gun uses (DGUs) by armed citizens dwarf the threats. Major studies peg DGUs at 500,000 to 3 million annually, per CDC-reviewed research, meaning guns save lives 2 to 100 times more often than they take them in crime contexts.

The 2021 National Firearms Survey, the most comprehensive to date, clocks 1.67 million DGUs yearly, with 81.9% protecting people vs. property. Civilians wield guns defensively 4.8 times more often than they’re murdered by one, and they stop threats more frequently than police, about 2.3% of homicides involve justifiable self defense shootings, but that’s an undercount since many agencies skip reporting. Heritage’s database logs hundreds of verified cases where armed citizens halted attacks, from home invasions to public rampages, proving the “good guy with a gun” isn’t a myth, it’s math. Rutgers notes DGUs happen, but exposure to gun violence is higher, yet even their data shows owners thwart threats without firing 70% of the time. Kirk’s “worth it” line? It’s backed by stark reality: 1.6 million lives potentially spared yearly, far outweighing rare tragedies the media amplifies.

The mainstream media’s war on Charlie Kirk isn’t about truth, it is about power. They took a man who challenged their dogma, twisted his words, and sold a caricature to the masses. Kirk’s takes on African Americans wasn’t racist, they were critiques of policies like DEI that 60% of Americans question, per Pew. Merit is key for a civilization to thrive. His transgender comments weren’t calls for violence, they were defenses of fairness and tradition, backed by majorities in polls like YouGov, and stats showing trans shooters as a statistical blip, 0.087% of mass incidents over a decade. While DGUs hit millions, saving countless lives. His words were sharp, sometimes sloppy, but never hateful. The media’s Alinskyite playbook? Clip the quote, kill the context, and crucify his character. Cater to ignorance and shutdown critical thinking. Kirk’s legacy isn’t division as the self serving politicians and pundits would have you believe. it’s defiance against a system that lies for clicks and control. Charlie Kirk represents anyo American that prefers to utilize their critical thinking skills in a logical and reasonable manner. And now that skill is under attack. That skill is protected by the First Amendment.

The Thin Red Line: From Mocking Martyrs to Muzzling the Masses. Is the FCC the New Thought Police in America's Descent into Authoritarian Anarchy or is their stance justified as America reaches a point of no return?

September 10, 2025, and Charlie Kirk, a firebrand conservative and founder of Turning Point USA, the scourge of campus snowflakes, and unapologetic voice for the forgotten flyover folks, takes a bullet while dropping truth bombs about gun violence at a Utah university. Thirty one years old, gunned down mid sentence by some deranged 22 year old punk named Tyler Robinson, who's now staring down the death penalty for aggravated murder. That is if Robinson truly has no tentacles attached to him from the deep state kraken lurking in the abyss of the murky depths.

The nation reels. And suddenly America The Beautiful stares at itself in a broken mirror. Reflecting a courageous and good natured, yet haggard Semiquincentennial visage standing strong regardless of the bleating insolence of its children.

One of the most insolent of these voices, emerges from the twisted sociopathic social media madness of the left, Youtube political streamer Steven "Destiny" Bonnell II who is now facing a major setback when his YouTube channel was demonetized, severely impacting his primary income source as an independent content creator. Now crashing out on national television due to psychopathic ramblings on par with Charles Manson.

(I randomly picked the version of this SRV song for Charlie Kirk and lo and behold at 9:08 Stevie says “Thank you Charlie!” he is likely talking about his guitar buddy. But wow. I encourage listening to the entire song.)

Strap in as we dive into the murky waters of government overreach and media manipulation, where the U.S. Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948, better known as the Smith-Mundt Act, was twisted 13 years ago by Manchurian candidate Barack Obama into a tool to foment a colour revolution in the United States.

Back in 1948, President Harry S. Truman signed the Smith-Mundt Act into law, a Cold War era move to counter Soviet propaganda with a global charm offensive. The mission had been simple, spread the gospel of American values abroad through radio broadcasts like Voice of America, glossy publications, films, and cultural exchange programs. The State Department was tasked with painting a picture of the U.S. as the land of the free, sending students, scholars, and professionals overseas to build bridges and showcase our way of life.

But here’s the caveat that continues to fly under the radar. The Act explicitly banned government produced materials from being distributed domestically. Why? To protect the American people from being fed state propaganda and to keep the domestic media industry from getting steamrolled by taxpayer funded competition. And more importantly, but apparently not a concern at the time, to protect the 1st Amendment rights and organic consensus from an intelligence department swaying Americans toward total mind control and rapid decline. Truman had signed the National Security Act of 1947 into law which created the CIA. Truman had created a monster, but the Smith-Mundt was a leash.

Advisory commissions were set up to keep things honest, ensuring the programs stayed true to their mission of truthful communication with foreign audiences. It was a firewall, a line in the sand to keep Uncle Sam’s storytelling machine from turning inward.

Fast forward to 2012, and enter the Obama administration, which slipped a poison pill into the National Defense Authorization Act for 2013, signed into law on January 2, 2013. The so called Smith-Mundt Modernization Act gutted that firewall, and regardless of what the bureaucrats foist upon your ears, this wasn’t just about updating old rules for the internet age.

The modernization allowed the State Department and the Broadcasting Board of Governors, now rebranded as the U.S. Agency for Global Media, to make their foreign targeted materials, like videos, audio, and films, available inside the U.S. upon request, including through FOIA demands and online platforms. Sure, they claimed it was about transparency, about letting Americans peek at what’s being beamed overseas. But don’t be naive. The law still says no funds can be used to actively propagandize Americans, but the floodgates were opened, and the safeguards are now as flimsy as a paper wall in a hurricane.

Now, let’s connect the dots. This modernization didn’t just make government content accessible, it unleashed a torrent of psychological warfare that’s been weaponized by the mainstream American media. The same narratives crafted to sway foreign hearts and minds are now seeping into our domestic discourse, creating a feedback loop of division and radicalization.

We’re talking about 59 million mentally ill Americans, folks already struggling with anxiety, depression, or worse, who no longer have a mental healthcare system that was gutted by progressive failures, being bombarded with carefully curated messages that amplify fear, distrust, and outrage. And furthermore broadcasting the domestic subversion of the Central Intelligence Agency.

These aren’t just newsreels anymore, they’re precision guided narratives designed to fracture society. The mainstream media, already a battleground for corporate agendas appealing to the organic demands of an American audience, gets outflanked by government backed content, slipping into social media echo chambers and radicalizing vulnerable minds. It’s not about informing, it’s about inflaming, pitting neighbor against neighbor in a cultural civil war.

And where does this lead? Straight to the universities, where Marxist ideology has taken root like a noxious weed. The modernization of Smith-Mundt has fueled a pipeline of radical ideas, repackaged as academic theory. Professors, emboldened by access to globalist narratives, push anti American, collectivist doctrines that demonize free markets and glorify centralized control.

These campuses aren’t just teaching critical thinking, they’re indoctrinating a generation with class warfare rhetoric, funded indirectly by the same government programs now unshackled by the 2013 changes. The result? Students graduate not as free thinkers but as foot soldiers for a Marxist agenda, ready to tear down the very system that gave them the freedom to learn.

But it gets darker. The Democrats, ever the masters of subtlety, have seized on this loosened framework to deploy indirect talking points that stoke domestic terrorism. Through carefully crafted dog whistles that they have since been forced to abandon due to the damage done to their poll ratings. Terms like “systemic injustice” or “reimagining society”.

Terms amplifying narratives that resonate with the unhinged, the disenfranchised, and the radicalized. These aren’t overt calls to violence, they’re sly, deniable prompts lighting the fuse for anarchy. The modernized Smith-Mundt Act gives them cover, letting government produced content bleed into domestic spaces where it can be picked up by activists and extremists alike.

From Antifa to lone wolf actors, the spark of these narratives is fanned into flames by a party that thrives on division, all while claiming to champion unity. This isn’t just policy, it’s a betrayal and it is treasonous. And it got Charlie Kirk murdered in front of the entire world. A good and kind man exercising his 1st Amendment, pushing back against Obama’s monstrosity.

Enter the so called "Podesta Plan". A plan that isn't a single, neatly titled document you can Google in a heartbeat, it's the insidious undercurrent of strategies hatched by John Podesta, the longtime Clinton operative and Obama whisperer, to weaponize division, radicalize the masses, and claw back power through engineered unrest. Hang on there, this isn't tinfoil hat territory just because there is zero mainstream media coverage on it, it's pieced together from leaked emails from incarcerated truth warriors, insider admissions, and the real time playbook unfolding before our eyes in 2025.

The truth is far uglier than you think. At its rotten heart, the Podesta Plan emerges from the WikiLeaks trove of over 50,000 emails hacked from Podesta's Gmail in 2016, a goldmine that exposed the Clinton campaign's guts like a surgeon's scalpel. These weren't just chit-chat about pizza parties. They revealed a calculated machine, Podesta, as Hillary's campaign chair and founder of the left wing think tank Center for American Progress, plotting to "plant the seeds of the revolution" in America.

One bombshell email from 2012, penned by activist Sandy Newman to Podesta, floated the idea of hijacking religious voters for a progressive uprising. Framing abortion rights as a divine calling to "plant the seeds of the revolution" in evangelical communities. Podesta forwarded it like a shopping list, signaling openness to subverting faith for political gain.

Fast forward through the leaks, and you see the blueprint solidify, coordinate with media allies to amplify outrage, fund agitators through shadowy foundations, and stoke racial and cultural fault lines to delegitimize elections. It's not about winning votes, it's about winning the narrative war, turning dissent into dynamite. And then it gets diabolical, post 2016, as Trump stormed the gates, Podesta and his ilk didn't slink away, they doubled down.

Remember James Carville, the Ragin' Cajun himself, teaming up with Podesta in leaked chats right after the election? They schemed to paint Trump as an existential threat to minorities and immigrants, priming blue cities for secession and street level sabotage. Carve up the map, let the coasts float off into socialist fantasy land, and use the chaos to rally the base. Podesta's fingerprints are everywhere, from emails coordinating with CNN's Donna Brazile to rig town halls, to whispers of pressuring donors like Saudi Arabia and Qatar over ISIS funding while ignoring Clinton Foundation ties. It's a masterclass in controlled demolition, it would make the Weather Underground blush. Leak just enough to erode trust, then fan the flames with astro turfed protests.

Now, zoom to today, September 12, 2025, and the Podesta Plan isn't theory, it's fully operational. With Trump back in the saddle and the deep state reeling, the battle cry from Infowars isn’t hyperbole, we are warning from the front lines. Sources are buzzing about a "Podesta-led Democrat plan" for 1,500 protests across all 50 states, scripted riots in LA, and false flags to frame Trump as a dictator, all to ignite a civil war scenario and seize power.

You can easily see it, as we have already endured complete chaos in recent times. Antifa foot soldiers, bankrolled by Alexander Soros, carving satanic symbols on bullets while campus radicals, fueled by Podesta's CAP playbook, chant "fascist regime" with pre printed signs popping up like weeds in D.C.

The recent attempt on Charlie Kirk? Not a lone wolf, it's the spark in this domestic war on America. The killer's ideology already reeks of Podesta fueled blind Trump hate. Those Podesta "Pizzagate" emails, handkerchiefs with "pizza-related maps," walnut sauces, and "spirit cooking" invites, weren't about appetizers they were allegedly code for elite depravity according to the FBI. A velvet rope behind which Podesta's circle trafficked influence and worse. Blackmail. These people mean business.

Pizzagate a distraction, sure, but the entire debacle had the effect of masking the real op, using BLM as a battering ram, trans activism as a Trojan horse, and every campus cult as a recruitment depot. Podesta's not just advising on climate scams like the Inflation Reduction Act's $370 billion green slush fund, he's the architect of the unrest that keeps the masses distracted while the elite consolidate. Democrats aren't playing checkers, they're checkmating democracy, one leaked email at a time.

This is the Podesta Plan, not a neat PDF sheet of raw data like the Panama papers, but a living virus injected into the body politic. From WikiLeaks' serialized dumps that trended worldwide 1,917 times in 2016, algorithms rigged to bury Clinton crimes while boosting Trump smears. An orchestrated uprising, riding out into this very day.

The Smith-Mundt Act was meant to protect our sovereignty, not erode it. Its modernization has turned a shield into a sword, continually stabbing and hacking for 12 years. Wielded against the American people to sow discord, radicalize the vulnerable, and push a Marxist agenda in our schools. Creating a generation of Anti American domestic terrorists. The Democrats’ fingerprints are all over this, using veiled rhetoric to incite chaos while hiding behind the guise of transparency. Time is up on this crazy train experiment of American propaganda. The domestic terror must stop now. In the name of Charlie Kirk and the senseless brutality against his and all of our 1st Amendment rights. It must end today.

Etched in Section 501 of the original Smith-Mundt Act, triggered felony charges under Title 22 U.S.C. § 1461: any willful breach carried a penalty of up to five years in federal prison, a fine hitting $10,000, or both. No slaps on the wrist here, this was designed to deter any bureaucrat or media minion from flooding the homeland with taxpayer-funded spin, but it has become far worse than original foresight.

Reinstate the Smith-Mundt to its original purpose and enforce it as it was intended. This singular action will unravel the entire subversion machine. Do it for Charlie.

Well here we go again, Infowars as a brand and a physical space of Free Speech Information is once again facing the totalitarian propaganda firing squad. For most of us, the shock and awe has subsided after years of fighting back in the Federal Bankruptcy Court in Houston. And at this point the boy that cried wolf has been outfitted with a ball gag and been told to sit down and shut up.

So alot of us have come to the conclusion, “I’ll believe it when I see it”. Meanwhile, all that this delay has done is weaken and expose the loaded argument made by the piranha swarm of lawyers and DOJ establishment thrashing about feeding on the bloated corpse of their own lies. While Alex Jones and the Infowars crew prepared for the next phase, come what may. Honestly, a year ago we weren’t completely prepared. But now, we won’t miss a beat. The awful truth will carry on come hell or highwater.

Infowars to these people insisting on ending it, broadcasts a message that is so threatening and so powerful that their very existence was jeopardized. And thanks to the Trump Administration we learned that the FBI had been surveilling Infowars since 2013. Which is not a small task, that requires a sign off by superiors every few months. The establishment has been appalled by the broadcasting of the awful truth for 12 years. Just one hour of listening to the truth was like the noon day sun to a vampire. Of course they publicly categorize it as lies and nonsense, to their own detriment. But anyone that ever actually listened knows better and they were educated in the process. Reassured that there were other people out there just like them that knew something was…….off. And that translates to millions upon millions of people that weren’t ever given an invitation to “The Club”. While offshoots of Infowars claimed pedestals in emerging podcasting platforms that were arrogantly overlooked by the dying establishment media.

One of my family member’s leftist friends once said to me after asking whether I still worked for Infowars “Have you or Alex discovered the bigfoot piloting the flying saucers over California yet?” and then laughed at me like I was a pitiful cult member retard to be put in my place. I simply replied, ”Have you ever actually watched the show?”. They replied “Why would I ?”.

Well if that person had even borrowed a tiny pair of nuts and simply listened at noon central to one hour of the Alex Jones Show on any given weekday. They would come to the revelation that we are discussing topics that the left doesn’t have the critical thinking fortitude to swallow cognitively. It hurts their brains. The wiring gets fried. That is why they are “the left”. As they are being shoved into the dark corners of American culture as new Generations, harmed by their hubris ridden rule, emerge.

Big boy pants stuff, like the truth behind the genocidal covid vaccine rollout or the 112 years that we have been occupied by a foreign globalist banking system or the unyielding corruption of a Government wielding legalized propaganda, human trafficking and dabbling in an AI fueled Chinese style technocratic surveillance state cooked up by treasonous think tanks, silicon valley sociopaths and globalist confabs. A constant education of the true players manning the levers of our existence. You know the important s**t that is killing humanity. And even, yep, the left.

Sure every once in a while, and its actually pretty damn rare, we might discuss interdimensional beings or supernatural and spiritual topics. But it always comes back to how they relate to the big awful truth picture. But more importantly we name big names. Power mad names that thought they were insulated and untouchable as they continued to fester in our Republic like a cancer and do more damage.

Naming them because they have zero recourse in a court room, because discovery is a b***h. And so that is why we are here. This was a court room that they could infiltrate. Where they could burrow in and find a warm home. That is why Alex Jones has been vilified by every elitist publication in the United States, even as the left’s ill gotten cultist message burns. And that is why the entire Sandy Hook lawsuit debacle has been a show trial. A sick joke where evidence of ordering our listeners to piss on graves was nonexistent, a claim instead originating from the sick minds of the left’s socialist regime at their skin crawling cocktail parties. Why would we even have malice toward the horrific tragedy that unfolded? Personally, I remember that day and I was emotionally devastated. We merely had questions. Questions protected by the First Amendment. And if they can get away with this. Then the First Amendment is effectively DOA. And that is why this is so damned important. If the questions we asked turn out to be relevant ten years down the road, then what happens to future questions by other truth seekers about similar future tragedies? Questions that can be answered in the court of public opinion. Questions that can be investigated and dismissed or revealed for the truth behind them?

For those of you new to this, the latest ruling follows Alex Jones’ defamation judgments for questioning if the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax, with Connecticut and Texas awarding the families approximately $1.3 billion in 2022. And for three years it has become abundantly clear that this was no routine defamation case. And now with the recent revelations of Alex Jones being on a Bill Barr led DOJ hit list, the tentacles are coming into view. This was never about rewarding the grieving families, it was about silencing the stinging questions haunting the establishment. Controlling their super duper important narrative sustaining their feed trough and control grid.

So as it stands, on August 14, 2025, The New York Times reported that Texas judge, Maya Guerra Gamble, ordered the assets of InfoWars’ parent company, Free Speech Systems, to be turned over to a court appointed receiver for liquidation to help pay over $1 billion owed to the Sandy Hook families, now potentially shutting down the platform.

The receiver has broad authority to seize and sell InfoWars’ assets within 5 days of the ruling, including studio equipment, domain names, and the brand itself, and can change locks, access storage facilities, and control websites, with assistance from law enforcement if needed. The new ruling allows The Onion to potentially revive its bid to acquire InfoWars and transform it into a satirical platform, an outcome that will be the Left’s greatest masterpiece of failure. An outcome that I am actually very curious to witness.

A wake up call of hot coffee tossed in the face of the dying establishment as millions of people rip The Onion’s lame ass bizarre twisted mocking of free speech on an acquired platform they never had the balls to understand. Like an insolent child inheriting a woodchipper without reading the manual and crawling in to see how it works. As leftist activist pseudo boomer comedy like SNL, Colbert, and Howard Stern twist in the wind, the timing is perfect for the Onion and its handful of derelict supporters to face the stark reality that they ignored in real time.

Of course, Alex Jones and the Infowars crew have vowed to continue broadcasting under a new brand if the sale proceeds. Legal experts suggest the state court process may allow faster and more flexible asset liquidation compared to federal bankruptcy proceedings. Alex Jones’ lawyer, Ben Broocks, has indicated plans to appeal the August 13, 2025, Texas state court ruling by Judge Maya Guerra Gamble. Broocks argued that the court was misled about bankruptcy rulings prohibiting such actions. With decisions subject to approval from Christopher Murray, the Chapter 7 trustee overseeing Jones’ personal bankruptcy in Houston.

The Sandy Hook families, particularly those from Connecticut, stating the receivership is a critical step toward holding Jones accountable, while the attorneys, who have been the true financial beneficiaries thus far of the entire debacle, emphasized the true goal of dismantling Infowars. The allegations of asset shielding, including transfers to his wife and father, continue to persist in the ongoing personal bankruptcy case.

The order follows the dismissal of Free Speech Systems’ Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2024, after which the Trustee, Murray was given control of Infowars assets, and comes after a federal bankruptcy judge rejected a proposed sale of InfoWars to The Onion in December 2024 due to what turned out to resemble a rigged auction. Regardless of what the Onion claimed publicly. The receivership has targeted the Connecticut families’ judgments, with a hearing scheduled for September 16, 2025, to consider extending it to the Texas judgment and to counter claim that Alex Jones filed a false affidavit about Free Speech Systems’ assets. When will enough be enough for the lawfare crazed Legion of doom?

But once the smoke clears, the road ahead looks very bright to the Infowars crew. And through it all, the players behind the scenes, hell bent on damaging the First Amendment, have been exposed. A buffet of dirty illegal lawfare tricks have yet to be dealt with. And nothing less than Free Speech hangs in the balance. The fat lady hasn’t even woken up to drink her tea yet. As one book closes another one opens. So it goes with the Saga of Infowars.

I want to thank recent paid subscribers to the Bowne Report.

Its due to the support of these kind folks that I will make The Bowne Report a reality. So again, I thank you and the truth thanks you. Even the half truths thank you.

Few acts of defiance burn as brightly or cost as much as state legislators fleeing their own turf to grind the gears of government to a halt. The latest spectacle, Texas House Democrats chartering private jets to Illinois in August 2025 to dodge a Republican led redistricting vote, is just another chapter in a saga that stretches back over a century. These quorum breaking stunts, steeped in a mix of principle and political posturing, come with a hefty price tag both in dollars and democratic credibility.

From 1870 to 2025 The roots of quorum breaking run deep in the Lone Star State. In 1870, 13 Texas senators bolted from the Capitol to block a bill granting the governor wartime powers. Dubbed the “Rump Senate incident,” the fleeing lawmakers were rounded up, but their act set a precedent for using absence as a weapon. This ended up costing $5,000-$10,000 in 2025 dollars, primarily for law enforcement efforts.

Fast forward to 1979, when the “Killer Bees” 12 Democratic state senators hid out for four days to derail a primary election shift favoring a GOP darling. They succeeded, but only briefly. This ended up costing $94,000–$188,000 in 2025 dollars.

In 2003, Texas Democrats, nicknamed the “Killer Ds,” fled to Oklahoma and New Mexico to stall a Republican redistricting plan. The 46 day Senate walkout and four day House walkout delayed other legislative priorities resulting in $9.8 million-$10.7 million in 2025 dollars with special sessions being the largest cost driver, followed by lawmaker expenses and law enforcement.

And in 2021, they jetted to Washington, D.C., for a 38 day stand against a voting restrictions bill. Over 50 lawmakers took private jets to D.C.. 2 Private jet charters cost $100,000-$150,000 round trip. Hotels and meals in D.C. for 38 days averaged $300-$500 per day per lawmaker totaling $570,000-$950,000 for 50 lawmakers. When it was all said and done, the Democrat’s hissy fit cost roughly $4.8 million-$5.6 million in 2025 dollars.

Each time, the gambit delayed the inevitable, as Republican majorities eventually pushed through their agendas. It doesn’t work, but these stunts cost alot of money.

Researcher Merissa Hansen @merissahansen17 posts “It appears that the Texas Democratic lawmakers who left the state were funded through numerous donations via ActBlue to Powered by People, which are linked to P.O. boxes.”

FEC Committee: POWERED BY PEOPLE

Now, in 2025, at least 51 Texas House Democrats have retreated to Illinois, New York, and Massachusetts to block a Trump backed redistricting map that could hand the GOP five more congressional seats. This isn’t just a Texas quirk, other states have seen similar walkouts. In 2011, Indiana Democrats holed up in Illinois for five weeks to protest union busting legislation, while Wisconsin’s “Wisconsin 14” fled to Rockford, Illinois, that same year to fight a bill stripping public employee bargaining rights.

I have added an original song by myself and my family at the bottom of the article. It seemed appropriate.

On July 23, 2025, President Trump signed three executive orders aimed at solidifying U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence, with one specifically targeting the acceleration of data center construction by streamlining environmental regulations and permitting processes. This move, part of a broader “AI Action Plan,” revokes the Biden era executive order that imposed stricter DEI and climate requirements on AI infrastructure development.

The new policy promotes the use of federal lands, including Brownfield and Superfund sites, for data center projects and leverages the FAST-41 framework to expedite permits for qualifying projects. Brownfield and Superfund sites are basically former industrial sites generally in urban areas that are complicated by the potential presence of hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants. The administration’s goal is to facilitate rapid infrastructure buildout to support AI’s computational demands, positioning the U.S. to outpace global competitors, particularly China, in technological innovation. Aligning with Trump’s previous "Stargate" initiative announcement on January 21, 2025, a $500 billion private sector partnership with companies like OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank to construct up to 20 AI data centers across the U.S.

Meanwhile, Meta has unveiled ambitious plans to build massive AI data centers, including the “Hyperion” project in Louisiana, projected to scale up to 5 gigawatts of computational power over several years, and the “Prometheus” cluster in Ohio, set to come online in 2026 with 1 gigawatt and 500,000 GPUs. Additionally, Meta is developing multiple “Titan clusters,” with each facility’s footprint rivaling significant portions of Manhattan. Meta plans to deploy between 2.75 and 3 million GPUs across its clusters. Enough energy to power millions of homes. Additionally, data centers use water for cooling servers and other IT equipment to prevent overheating. A hyperscale center can guzzle 3 to 5 million gallons per day. In 2021, data centers collectively consumed 449 million gallons per day.

The average total public water supply withdrawals in 2015 were approximately 39,000 million gallons per day, equivalent to 39 billion gallons per day or 142.35 trillion gallons annually. This represents about 14% of total U.S. water withdrawals, including irrigation, thermoelectric power, etc.

Of this, 61% came from rivers and lakes, and 39% came from groundwater sources, such as aquifers.

Public supply served 283 million people, or 87% of the U.S. population for household use, with additional deliveries for commercial, industrial, and public services. You know, firefighting, parks, water treatment plants and the like.

But as small as these numbers are today, the AI data center juggernaut is inevitably barreling headlong into a water starved future, and the battleground is smack dab in America’s driest regions. Out in the Southwest, Arizona’s a ticking time bomb, Phoenix and Mesa are drowning in data centers while the Colorado River chokes.

Google is already gulping millions of gallons a day, elbowing out farmers and folks just trying to keep their taps running. Nevada’s no better, its parched deserts are now hosting a data center gold rush while groundwater dwindles to nothing. California’s Central Valley and southern sprawl are getting hammered too, with new server farms piling onto a state already choked by drought and Newsom’s Big Ag water grab.

Then there’s Texas, where cheap power and loose rules have opened the floodgates for data centers. Abilene’s staring down the barrel of OpenAI’s Stargate behemoth, a project set to suck up water in a state where droughts are legendary and farmers are fighting for scraps. Over in Georgia, the humid air is irresistible to cooling hungry tech giants, places like Newton County are already paying the price wells running dry, water turning to sludge, and a looming deficit by 2030.

Is Healthcare finally scraping the bottom? I remember a time, pre obamacare, when I could afford full coverage for myself and my daughter. But that is a distant memory. And now I limp along with the best I can afford, which isn’t much. You see I’m neither poverty stricken nor an illegal immigrant, so I am not privileged enough to have full healthcare. Or maybe I am viewed as too privileged because of my supposed income and the fact that I am descended from Americans that got here 400 years ago and 400 years later I’m struggling to make ends meet as prices climb in every direction.

And wow those illegal aliens had it good. A 2024 report from the Congressional Budget Office estimated that between 2017 and 2023, Emergency Medicaid spending for undocumented immigrants reached approximately $27 billion, averaging about $4 billion annually. And the Obamacare recipients can schedule a specialist if something doesn’t feel or look right. The rest of us are lucky to get a doctors well check visit twice a year.

Yet, even before Obama did his Saul Alinskyite duty to dismantle our once, previously semi functioning healthcare system, twisting it into a cruel balloon animal wearing a pair of cruel shoes in the back of an Ambulance it can’t afford.

Even before all of that, the issue of Americans with chronic pain losing access to their opiate medications became a complex and multifaceted problem, that had become rooted in a combination of historical, medical, regulatory, and societal factors. The silent war on chronic pain sufferers, at its core, reflects a pendulum swing in public health policy, from liberal prescribing practices that fueled the opioid crisis to stringent restrictions aimed at curbing addiction and overdose deaths. A bunch of bad apples ruined it for the people that truly needed it.

This shift has had profound consequences for chronic pain patients, many of whom rely on opiates for functional quality of life. Many of whom are now suffering in silence and gathering on Redditt and other platforms to scramble to find alternatives for the unrelenting pain that they had already been enduring and managing with the help of opiates.

The OxyContin crisis, which began in the late 1990s, serves as the critical starting point for understanding the downward spiral into the current predicament. Personally, I had lived in Eastern Kentucky for a period of time in the late 1990s. I saw the epidemic with my own eyes. It was so rampant, that I remember that the grocery store I frequented in West Liberty, Kentucky had pulled a bunch of their shopping carts after several people had been unwittingly drugged by the powdery residue left on the cart’s handles. One woman even died.
