On Friday morning, I taped an appearance on Tucker Carlson’s program to discuss the ongoing Iran War, growing Israeli influence in the U.S., and proliferating attacks on free speech in the West in the name of shielding that one foreign country from critique (I presume it will air in the next few days). Perhaps the most notable part of our conversation was what Tucker told me prior to the cameras rolling.
Tucker said he had learned from several high-placed sources — and he obviously has many within the Trump administration — that the CIA was preparing a criminal referral about him to the DOJ. The subject of the agency’s report of suspected crimes: conversations he allegedly had with Iranian officials and others in Iran prior to the start of the Trump/Netanyahu war. The clear implication was that Tucker had committed acts of subversion or even treason by speaking to Iranians in advance of the war that was about to be launched on their country.
[…]
All of that is to say that I harbored zero doubts that Tucker was accurately conveying to me what he had heard. And I also knew this was not just idle low-level DC gossip. Tucker’s decades in mainstream media and especially his years as the highest-rated prime-time cable host in the history of the medium — to say nothing of his closeness to key figures in Trump world — have resulted in an array of friends and sources at the highest levels of American power centers. His regular visits to the White House to meet with Trump by itself proves that point.
But still, the idea that an American journalist of any kind, let alone one of Tucker’s stature, could be surveilled by the CIA and then criminally investigated by the DOJ for treason or related offenses — all for trying to report the truth about an imminent and indescribably dangerous war — is so inherently shocking and unimaginable that I just assumed his sources were hyperbolically sounding an alarm out of caution.
[…]
Perhaps I was being naive, but I still regard the prospect of Tucker Carlson being charged by the Trump DOJ with felonies for his reporting to be quite low. But the fact that it is being aggressively promoted — not by random accounts online but some of the most influential voices in Washington — is, at the very least, designed to create a climate of fear and intimidation for anyone who has been harshly criticizing both Israel and the Trump/Netanyahu war and, especially, for those reporting that the U.S. government’s triumphalist claims do not correspond with reality.
Hours after we concluded our interview, Tucker on Saturday night published on various social media platforms a five-minute summary of what he had told me. The video, entitled “when you discover the CIA has been reading your texts in order to frame you for a crime,” described how the CIA’s referral to the DOJ is based on private conversations which Tucker, as a journalist, had with people inside Iran.
As Tucker explained, the only way for the U.S. government to have obtained those conversations is through eavesdropping and surveillance on his texts and calls: carried out either by the NSA through domestic surveillance or through use of the Mossad or some other allied spying agency which furnished those conversations to the CIA. One major part of the reporting we did from on the Snowden files detailed how the NSA often used allied spying agencies to snoop on Americans and provide them with the findings, all a way to circumvent constitutional and other legal limits on the ability of American security state agencies to spy on their own citizens.
This is not the first time that the NSA and/or allied agencies have spied on Tucker in his work as a journalist. Both times that he attempted to arrange an interview with Russian president Vladimir Putin, those conversations were intercepted by US spies.
Jared Kushner is reportedly seeking about $5B for his firm Affinity Partners, courting sovereign wealth funds from Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar, the New York Times reports, citing people familiar with the matter. Riyadh alone has already poured $2B into the fund.
Affinity Partners, founded in 2021, manages $5B+ and holds stakes tied to Israel’s defense sector, including companies connected to Elbit Systems and Israel Shipyards.
👉 The fundraising push comes as Kushner has increasingly acted as the public face of US diplomacy in the Middle East, representing Washington in regional talks as if the State Department barely exists.
Meanwhile, speculation about his influence in the region (https://t.me/geopolitics_prime/65226) keeps growing. According to reporting cited by The New York Times and other US outlets, Kushner has been among the advisers shaping Washington’s approach to Iran during the current crisis.
War sweeps the region — and apparently also primes fundraising season.
‘Everybody’s obviously worried,’ one industry leader said
Britain’s fruit and vegetable growers have warned soaring energy and transportation costs caused by the war in Iran could leave supermarket shelves bare.
Growers’ associations across the country have raised concerns they may be forced to end their season early, with some comparing the situation to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Lee Stiles, secretary of the Lea Valley Growers Association (LVGA), said: “Growers are in the same position now as they were when Russia invaded Ukraine, because the wholesale gas prices are creeping up.”
The LGVA represents 70 glasshouse growers across the UK, and produces around 75 per cent of Britain’s cucumbers, sweet peppers & aubergines.
Mr Stiles added: “With rising costs, many growers are thinking they might as well send the staff home, stop for the season and not produce anything.
“They’re going to have to make a decision in the next few weeks as to whether or not it’s going to be economic to continue for the rest of the year.”
The rising costs to heat glasshouses could lead to crops struggling to grow, subsequently reducing yields significantly.
“Back in 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine, we ended up with empty shelves in the supermarkets,” Mr Stiles continued.
Britain’s fruit and vegetable growers have warned soaring energy and transportation costs caused by the war in Iran could leave supermarket shelves bare
“The supermarkets agreed a fixed price with growers last year. They can intervene now if they wish and agree to pay more for the produce because of the increased cost of production.
“But it looks as though they’re prepared to have empty shelves again and reduced availability.”
In 2022, shelves were left so depleted that major supermarkets were forced to limit the amount of cooking oil people could buy.
Meanwhile, Rachel Williams, from the West Sussex Growers Association, which represents a network of over 50 members based in and around Chichester, revealed that “everybody’s obviously worried”.
“They are worried about what will happen, how it will develop, and the uncertainty of it all,” she said.
The rise in transportation costs, input costs, supply chain disruption and cost of heating glasshouses are very concerning, Ms Williams explained.
“On the transport cost, red diesel has gone up by more than 50 per cent in just 10 days, that’s huge for open field growers using tractors too,” she said.
With oil prices levelling out at over $100 per barrel, and red diesel prices soaring from 79.44 pence per litre on March 1 to 131.26 pence per litre by March 12, according to BoilerJuice, the comparisons to 2022 have become very real.
The National Farmers’ Union (NFU) met with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs earlier this month to discuss urgent farming issues caused by the conflict in Iran.
NFU president Tom Bradshaw said: “We’ve already seen this situation play out with the Russian invasion of Ukraine which drove an ongoing cost-of-living crisis here. And, with the removal of farm support which added a layer of resilience for many farm businesses, farmers are more exposed than ever to global markets.
“While the impact on food production and food price inflation will depend on what happens over the coming weeks, it is yet another sobering reminder of the need to build resilience in UK farming.”
It is easy to see why the UAE and western media does not want to show you these images and videos, and instead concentrate on the damage in Tehran (which is extensive also), or in Beirut as the poor Lebanese people, 30% of whom are Christians, just cannot catch a break from Zionist death and destruction.
Could we see attacks like this in American cities?
Absolutely we could. Whether or not they originate from Iran, or are “false flag” attacks from our own government, may not be so easy to determine, however.
But one thing I am sure about: A holy and righteous God will soon run out of patience with the American Christians who are supporting the pedophiles that run this country, and cheering on the death and destruction of people they do not like due to their Zionist Christian belief system.
Here are some of the articles I published on our Telegram channel today.
Grooming the Gulf: How Epstein Forged Emirati Elites Into Tools for Israel
Hidden within (the Epstein) documents, leaks, and email excerpts now circulating online, are connections that stretch far beyond Manhattan, Palm Beach, or even Paris.
They reach deep into the Persian Gulf, into Dubai’s executive suites, and into the personal inboxes of officials in the United Arab Emirates.
These emails offer a unique glimpse behind the opulent shadows of Dubai’s towers, where untraceable billions flow like oil.
In that world, a convicted pedophile whispers ministerial appointments to a UAE diplomat while discussing port deals that could move cargo and secrets across continents.
Jeffrey Epstein was not acting alone or merely chasing thrills; he was allegedly operating as a geopolitical asset, cultivating leverage over Gulf elites, with places like Somaliland emerging as potential pawns in a larger strategic game.
Iran’s Kharg Island ‘obliteration’ is Trump’s fantasy and an apparent pullout signal – ex-CIA analyst
Trump’s bombastic claim of flattening the island exposes his detachment from reality, Larry Johnson writes on Sonar21.
What’s Kharg Island?
Continental island of Iran in the Persian Gulf
About 25 km off Iran’s coast, 483 km northwest of the Strait of Hormuz
One of Iran’s oil export terminals
What’s wrong with Trump’s brag?
Trump “admits that the oil terminals were not attacked, just some unidentified military targets,” Johnson writes. “All bark, no bite.”
Only one of Iran’s five operational oil export terminals is located on Kharg Island
International firm Kpler’s data shows Kharg’s oil loadings jumped 1.5‑fold last month, implying Iran may have been drawing down storage ahead of the attack
Trump claimed the US destroyed all military targets and air defenses on Kharg Island, but air defense activity an hour later proved otherwise
Imagine if Kharg’s oil infrastructure were damaged. That could trigger retaliation on US allies’ oil facilities across the Gulf—is that what Trump wants?
Johnson details the likely paths of Iranian missiles:
♦️ Saudi Arabia: Ras Tanura – world’s largest marine oil loading center (6M b/d); Ras Al-Ju’aymah – second key terminal (3–3.6M b/d)
♦️ UAE: Fujairah – largest regional fueling hub; Jebel Ali – crude & petrochemical exports
♦️ Qatar: Ras Laffan – world’s largest LNG export facility
♦️ Kuwait: Mina Al-Ahmadi – main crude export terminal with deep docks
♦️ Bahrain: Sitra Terminal – refined oil exports
According to the CIA veteran, Trump’s brag can be seen two ways:
“Perhaps Trump’s lie about devastating Kharg Island is the start of his PR campaign to gaslight the American public into believing Iran is defeated, which would allow Trump to declare victory and start withdrawing US forces”
“Alternatively, he really believes the lie and is convinced that this latest strike will convince the Iranians to surrender.”
Panic is slowly gripping the stock market. Expect the selling to pick up next week.
Options traders are signaling trouble, and systematic funds are expected to cut their exposure to U.S. stocks
Excerpts:
Storm clouds are gathering over Wall Street.
U.S. stocks drifted lower in a slow grind over the past two weeks, as the conflict with Iran stoked worries about inflation and interest rates as oil prices shot higher. And investors are bracing for what could be a painful leg lower next week.
The pace of the selling could pick up next week as systematic trend-following funds are poised to cut $36 billion worth of exposure to U.S. stocks, according to a Friday report from Goldman Sachs. If the market moves sharply lower, those funds could be forced to unwind their positions even more aggressively.
The real name of the mysterious street artist, who has been hiding under the alias ‘Banksy’ for years, is David Jones, Reuters has claimed, citing the results of its own investigation.
Banksy’s identity has fueled speculation since his first graffiti appeared in 1999. He has become one of the world’s most famous artists, with his artworks popping up in various locations around the globe, including conflict hot spots, selling for millions of dollars at auctions and being frequent targets of thieves.
In its article on Friday, Reuters noted that Banksy’s actual name had been first mentioned by the Daily Mail in 2008, which identified him as Bristol-born artist Robin Gunningham.
According to the agency, he had since then changed his ID and now carries a passport with the name ‘David Jones.’
It’s one of the most common first and last name combinations in the UK, with 6,000 people bearing it in 2017, it stressed. It’s also the birth name of iconic British rock legend David Bowie.
Reuters explained that it established Banksy’s identity after reviewing publicly available records, including financial statements by his former accountant.
The journalists said that they also got clues about the artist’s real name after looking into the circumstances of several of his graffiti appearing in Ukraine in 2022.
There is no evidence of Robin Gunningham entering the country, but there is data on David Jones crossing the Ukrainian border, they stressed. He had been accompanied by photographer Giles Duley and co-founder of the band Massive Attack and artist Robert Del Naja, who had been previously suspected of being the one behind the Banksy nickname, according to the journalists.
The date of birth in David Jones’ passport matches that of Robin Gunningham, a source told Reuters.
The agency said that they forwarded the results of their investigation and questions to the person they believe to be Banksy, but he “didn’t reply.”
The artist’s lawyer, Mark Stephens, also declined to confirm his identity, but urged the journalists against publishing the report, arguing that it would violate his client’s privacy, interfere with his art and endanger him.
It probably won’t since Turkiye helps advance American interests at the crossroads of Afro-Eurasia in Iran, the Middle East-North Africa, and along Russia’s entire southern periphery.
The Wall Street Journal published an opinion piece last week titled, “An Urgent Need to Contain Turkey”, which warned that “If the Iranian regime falls, beware Ankara’s regional influence.” The author is Bradley Martin, who’s Executive Director of the Near East Center for Strategic Studies and used to be a Senior Fellow with the news and public policy group Haym Salomon Center and deputy editor for the Canadian Institute for Jewish Research. He also contributes to the Jerusalem Post and Jewish News Syndicate.
His credentials thus led to some interpreting his article as Israel lobbying the US to contain Turkiye after the end of the Third Gulf War that was sparked by their joint attack against Iran. Whatever one’s opinion about the intention of his latest article and his speculative ties with the State of Israel may be, he argues that Turkiye must ultimately be contained because it “opposes U.S. foreign policy and is a headache for its allies.” Several examples are cited in support of this claim for justifying his post-war policy proposal.
These are President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s opposition to the US’ war against Iran, his government’s ties with ISIS during the apex of its power, and its weaponization of the 2015 Migrant Crisis against the EU. What Martin didn’t mention, however, is Erdogan’s belief that the US colluded with his late American-based rival Fethullah Gulen to orchestrate summer 2016’s failed coup attempt. Turkish-US relations are therefore much complicated than he made them seem.
His oversimplification of them is obviously due to him wanting to manipulate his targeted American audience into supporting Turkiye’s post-war containment, but the argument can be made that regardless of whatever one thinks about the abovementioned examples, Turkiye’s expansion actually helps the US. For starters, it could launch a military intervention in Iran on the grounds of either targeting armed Kurdish rebels that it considers to be terrorists or helping its ally Azerbaijan, which might intervene first.
Even if that scenario doesn’t transpire, Turkiye reportedly plans to join the so-called “Islamic NATO”, whose core presently consists of September’s mutual defense alliance between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Whether or not it formally does so, Turkiye can still coordinate with those two and Egypt (another country with which Saudi Arabia might enter into an alliance) across the broad Middle East-North Africa (MENA) space, with all four US allies (each to varying legal extents) advancing its aims there.
Even in the absence of the aforesaid, Turkiye is now poised to expand Western – including NATO – influence along Russia’s entire southern periphery in the South Caucasus, the Caspian Sea, and Central Asia through last August’s “Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity” (TRIPP). Unaware readers can learn more about how TRIPP threatens Russa’s national security here, which links to five other analyses about this, but it’s suffice to say that this is arguably the next front for containing Russia.
These three roles make Turkiye one of the US’ most strategic allies due to its ability to advance American interests at the crossroads of Afro-Eurasia. The US is accordingly unlikely to contain Turkiye after it’s done with Iran, but Israel might try to do so since it feels very uncomfortable with Turkiye’s rise as the most powerful Muslim country, possibly soon with its own ballistic missile and even nuclear programs too. Martin is therefore lobbying to advance Israeli interests over American ones even if unintentionally.
I dedicate this article to all women invited to mammography screening and those who love them because the public has consistently been lied to, for over 40 years. In invitations to screening, women have been told that by detecting cancers early, screening saves lives and leads to less invasive surgery.1,2 I shall demonstrate that all three statements are wrong.
Women are still being told these lies, by professional associations, screening advocates, screening researchers, cancer charities, and national boards of health.3-5 The American Cancer Society declares in a headline that “Mammography Saves Lives”4 and claims, with no references, that results from many decades of research clearly show that women who have regular mammograms are less likely to need aggressive treatments like surgery to remove the entire breast (mastectomy).5
Screening Does Not Save Lives
In the randomised trials of mammography screening, the risk ratio for overall mortality after 13 years of follow-up was 0.99 (95% confidence interval 0.93 to 1.03) for those trials with adequate randomisation.6 The estimate happened to be the same for the other trials, some of which were so poorly randomised that the average age in the two compared groups was not the same, which makes an analysis of overall mortality unreliable.
For two of the three adequately randomised trials, those from Canada and the UK, there are follow-up data after 25 and 23 years, respectively.7,8 The risk ratio for overall mortality was 1.01 (95% confidence interval 0.98 to 1.03) for all three trials (both with a fixed effect and a random effects model, Comprehensive Meta Analysis Version 3.0). In the table, the year means the year the trial started:
This is a very strong result as it is derived from a total of 25,046 deaths. We can therefore say with great confidence that mammography screening does not save lives.
If we restrict the analysis to the two trials with a very long follow-up, the result is the same, a risk ratio of 1.01 (0.99 to 1.04).
Breast Cancer Mortality Is a Seriously Flawed Outcome
It will surprise most people to learn that we cannot trust what has been reported in the randomised trials about the effect of screening on breast cancer mortality but this is an objective fact.6
A minority of the women who died were autopsied, and in several trials, cause of death was not assessed blindly.6 I have documented that assessment of cause of death was seriously biased.6,9 If we include all trials in the analysis, we would expect to see the greatest reduction in breast cancer mortality in those trials that were most effective in lowering the rate of node-positive cancers (cancers that had metastasised) in the screened group.
This was indeed the case, but the regression line was in the wrong place. It predicts that a screening effectiveness of zero (i.e. the rate of node-positive cancers is the same in the screened groups as in the control groups) results in a 16% reduction in breast cancer mortality (95% confidence interval 9% to 23% reduction).6,9 This can only happen if there is bias, and further analyses showed that assessment of cause of death and of the number of cancers in advanced stages were both biased in favour of screening.
Systematic reviews that include all the trials, also the poorly randomised ones, have reported that mammography screening reduces breast cancer mortality by 16-19%.6,10 As this estimate is of the same size as the bias in the regression analysis, this suggests that screening does not lower breast cancer mortality.
Another reason why breast cancer mortality is a flawed outcome is that screening leads to overdiagnosis, which is the detection of cancers and precursors to cancer (carcinoma in situ), which would not have come to the attention of the woman in her remaining lifetime and therefore would not have become a problem without screening. Since it is not possible to distinguish between harmless cancers and dangerous ones, they are all treated, and radiotherapy and chemotherapy given to women who are healthy increase their mortality.6
If we take into account the cardiac and lung cancer deaths caused by the type of radiotherapy used when the screening trials were carried out and generously assume that screening reduces breast cancer mortality by 20% and results in only 20% overdiagnosis of healthy women, then there is no mortality benefit from screening.11
Finally, it is noteworthy that the most unreliable trials were those that reported the greatest reductions in breast cancer mortality.6 The difference in the effect estimates between the adequately randomised trials and the poorly conducted trials was statistically significant, both after 7 and 14 years of follow-up (P = 0.005 and P = 0.02, respectively).12
Total Cancer Mortality
Since misclassification of cause of death often concerns deaths from other cancers,6 total cancer mortality is a less biased outcome than breast cancer mortality.
Some trialists have not reported what the total cancer mortality was but we have data from the three adequately randomised trials.6,8 There was no effect of screening on total cancer mortality, including breast cancer, risk ratio 1.00, 95% confidence interval 0.96 to 1.04. There were two different age groups in the Canadian trial, 40-49 (a) and 50-59 years (b):
Since total cancer mortality is less biased than breast cancer mortality, it is of interest to see what the expected cancer mortality (including breast cancer mortality) would have been if the reported reduction in breast cancer mortality of 29% after 7 years in the poorly randomised trials6 were true.
It would have been a risk ratio of 0.95, which is significantly lower (P = 0.02)6 than what was actually found. This provides further evidence that assessment of cause of death was biased in favour of screening.
Breast Cancer Is Not Detected Early but Very Late
If we assume that the observed doubling times in longitudinal tumour studies are constant from initiation till the tumour becomes detectable, the average woman has harboured the cancer for 21 years before it acquires a size of 10 mm and becomes detectable on a mammogram.13
Given this large time span, it is misleading to call it “early detection” also because the effect of screening is trivial, namely to advance the diagnosis by less than a year.13
Yet all authorities repeat this mantra. As it is impossible that everyone working with cancer is unaware of the basics of tumour biology, we can draw the conclusion that the public all over the world is being misinformed. This is fraud because it is deliberate and because women think “early detection” will save their lives.
I once asked a famous tumour biologist, Keld Danø, during a coffee break at an international meeting, whether he agreed with me that it was impossible to lower breast cancer mortality by 30% with screening, based on our knowledge of tumour biology.14 He agreed. When I asked why people like him didn’t participate in the scientific debate, he didn’t reply and it is not difficult to imagine why. It is not wise to point out that your colleagues are wrong when you are on the receiving end of major funds from a cancer charity that touts screening.
The women suffer while everyone else prospers.
The earliest cell changes, carcinoma in situ, are not detected unless the women get a mammogram. In our systematic review of countries with organised screening programmes, we found an overdiagnosis of 35% for invasive cancer and 52% when we included carcinoma in situ.15
Although less than half of carcinoma in situ cases progress to invasive cancer,16,17 the women are nevertheless routinely treated with surgery, drugs, and radiotherapy.
The deep irony is that the surgery is often mastectomy because the cell changes may be diffusely spread in the breast, and sometimes even in both breasts. In New South Wales, one-third of women with carcinoma in situ had a mastectomy,18 and in the UK, carcinoma in situ was more often treated by mastectomy than invasive cancer,19 and the number of women treated by mastectomy almost doubled from 1998 to 2008.20
This brings us to the third big falsehood in the propaganda about mammography screening.
Screening Does Not Decrease but Increases Mastectomies
Because of the substantial overdiagnosis of invasive cancer and carcinoma in situ, and because screening only advances detection of invasive cancers slightly,13 it is inevitable that screening increases mastectomies.
In the randomised trials of screening, we found 31% more mastectomies in the screened groups than in the control groups.6
Denmark is a unique country to study this in practice as we had a period of 17 years (1991-2007) where only about 20% of potentially eligible women were invited to screening because some counties did not have screening.21 When screening starts, more breast cancer diagnoses than usual will be made and there will be more mastectomies. However, as can be seen on the graphs, the huge increases in mastectomies are not compensated by a drop in mastectomies later where there was a similar decline in mastectomies in non-screened areas as in screened areas:22
Moreover, as the next graph shows, there is no compensatory drop in old age groups:22
Yet women are told that screening leads to less invasive surgery, with fewer mastectomies. This is disinformation in the extreme.
The most commonly used trick used to disinform the women about this issue is to report percentages instead of numbers.3 Imagine a town with a certain level of crime. You divide the crimes into serious and less serious ones. Over a period of time, the rate of serious crime increases by 20% and the rate of less serious crime by 40%. This is a development for the worse. But although more people are exposed to serious crime and more people are exposed to less serious crime as well, a trickster would say that, as there are now relatively fewer cases of serious crime, the situation has improved.
It is deplorable that people who know better – screening researchers, cancer charities, national boards of health, etc – have lied to the public this way3 and still do, in direct contrast to logic and the scientific evidence.
I dryly remarked in my book that if they continued their line of research for other diseases, they may find the recipe for eternal life.3 I also noted that the problem with lying is that
sooner or later people usually contradict themselves, which they did in relation to a study they had published in The Lancet.3
A common way of duping the readers is to say that early detection of breast cancer “reduces mortality”34 without specifying what kind of mortality this is, which makes the reader believe that screening saves lives.
The most common error in the screening literature could be that people falsely translate a recorded effect on mortality from a cancer into an effect on all-cause mortality. We see claims everywhere that common cancer screening tests save lives but a systematic review of the randomised trials found that the only screening test with a significant lifetime gain was sigmoidoscopy. It extended life by 110 days on average, and as the 95% confidence interval went from 0 to 274 days, this result was on the verge of not being statistically significant.35
Another common trick is to use hypothetical statements when we have certain knowledge. For example, authors may write – even in our most esteemed medical journals – that overdetection “may” occur for invasive cancers and that it “may” cause harm through unnecessary labelling and treatment of patients who, without screening, “might” never have been diagnosed.34 These are not hypothetical possibilities; they are inevitable consequences of screening.
For the first time since 1980, Congress has fundamentally changed how the U.S. government registers young men for a potential military draft — and it no longer requires their participation.
Tucked inside the fiscal year 2026 National Defense Authorization Act, which President Trump signed on December 18, 2025, is a provision that quietly marks the most significant transformation of the Selective Service System in over four decades. Beginning on December 18, 2026, the requirement for male U.S. residents ages 18 through 25 to register themselves with the Selective Service System will be replaced with a requirement for the Selective Service System to register them automatically, based on other existing federal government databases.
What the Law Does
Under the new provision, the Selective Service System will be able to tap into existing government data, such as Social Security Administration records, to build its registry of potential draftees. The agency will then cross-reference that data to identify and locate eligible men without any action required on their part.
The Selective Service System will also be tasked with notifying men they have been registered, asking them for any missing contact or biographical information, and informing them of the process to unregister if they’re not actually required to register.
Importantly, reviving a military draft would still require separate congressional approval. The most recent draft ended in 1973, and draft registration resumed in 1980. Automatic registration does not mean anyone is being called up for service — it simply updates the mechanism for maintaining the roster of draft-eligible men.
Why Congress Acted
The move comes against a backdrop of declining registration rates and a broader military recruitment crisis. According to the Selective Service System’s annual report to Congress, total registrations nationwide for men ages 18 to 25 declined from 15.6 million in 2022 to 15.2 million in 2023, a decline driven largely by the removal of the SSS registration requirement from the FAFSA form.
Supporters of the change argue it simply modernizes a cumbersome and outdated process. Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa., a member of the Armed Services Committee who championed the provision, said that automatic registration “simply moves the burden of filing the registration paperwork from the individual to the government, where it belongs,” adding that it would save taxpayer money and make it easier for young men to comply with the law.
The provision had actually been attempted before. In 2024, the proposal for automatic draft registration was initially approved by both the House and Senate but was removed from the final version of that year’s NDAA after influencers, including rapper Cardi B, spread misinformation on social media that the legislation meant Congress would reinstate the draft.
Concerns and Opposition
Not everyone is pleased with the change. Critics have raised several objections spanning privacy, civil liberties, and the rights of conscientious objectors.
The Friends Committee on National Legislation, the lobbying arm of the Quakers, warned that “this extensive data gathering poses a significant risk of weaponization and misuse, particularly with the potential for targeting the most vulnerable such as immigrant and transgender young adults.”
The data collected will likely include sex assigned at birth, immigration status, visa status, and current address — information that some privacy advocates argue gives the federal government an unprecedented surveillance footprint over an entire demographic.
Conscientious objectors face a more nuanced situation. The Center on Conscience and War notes that some conscientious objectors consider registration with Selective Service to be a form of participation in war. While automatic registration would eliminate the requirement for these individuals to take an action contrary to their conscience, it also places their information within the system regardless.
Technical critics also question whether the system will even work as intended. Opponents argue that the current partially-automated draft registration system, based mainly on driver’s license records, has already produced a list of potential draftees so incomplete and inaccurate that it would be less than useless for an actual draft — and that the proposed fully-automated system based on federal records may make things worse.
What Happens Next
Regulations implementing and establishing procedures for automatic registration, including notices required for data collection, data matching, and data use, will be issued by the Selective Service System in 2026. The agency has until December 18, 2026 to have the system operational.
Men who are not required to register — for example, those with certain medical conditions or those present in the country on nonimmigrant visas — will have a process available to remove themselves from the rolls.
Analysts describe this as the largest change in Selective Service law since 1980, one that moves the United States closer to being able to activate a draft on demand than at any point in the past half century — even as the country continues to rely on an all-volunteer military with no current plans for conscription.
–The automatic registration provision is Section 535 of the FY2026 National Defense Authorization Act. Men with questions about their registration status can visit sss.gov.
All the signs are that the Epstein Axis is about to carry out a false flag to justify ground troops in Iran—or worse. They know they cannot achieve their regime change goal through air strikes alone and the public won’t support stronger action unless there is a powerful justification, such as a mass casualty event that they can blame on their enemy.
My hope is that by raising our collective voice and letting them know we’re onto them, we can stop this madness, but I suspect it’s already too late.
The US media is hyping the incoming “Iranian drone attack” like it’s a major sporting event—it might as well have an on-screen countdown. “Any second now,” they keep telling us on every news channel from Fox to CNN.
Anyone would think Iran had a fleet of killer drones just waiting off the California coast, but that can’t be, because Trump says he has destroyed the Iranian Navy. Even if one vessel had slipped through the net and reached the other side of the world, the US Navy would surely detect it and take it out, right?
There doesn’t seem to be any way that Iranians could get near US soil undetected, but that doesn’t mean their drones haven’t arrived. The US has boasted about capturing and reverse-engineering the Shahed-136, creating their own low-cost replica. If any Shaheds appear in California skies, all I’m saying is it doesn’t have to be Iran doing the launching.
Iran is using all of its firepower to fight off the US and Israel back home—why would it expend a single resource butchering a few Americans or attacking a statue of Gavin Newsom?! What would it possibly gain by giving the US an excuse for ground troops or even nukes? The only country that would benefit would be Israel.
Given the implausibility of such an attack, you would think the media would be asking serious questions, and yet not a single mainstream journalist is challenging the narrative—not that I’ve noticed anyway. It’s almost like they’ve been told what to say by the same intelligence people that gave us the Iraq WMDs story—the people who are smart enough to see this coming, but sadly too stupid to prevent it…
Netanyahu recently made one of those ominous speeches that he always makes when his crystal ball reveals something terrible is about to happen. He suggested Iran could soon be capable of nuking the US to set a narrative of an existential threat. The moment a drone attack happens, he will be telling you the answer is more war before the bodies are even cold. Just know the predicted attack was nothing to do with Israel—it was Iranian sleeper cells. Honest.
Trump is telling us all about these “Iranian sleeper cells” and that the US is “watching every single one of them.” He explained: “We’ve been very much on top of it,” insisting: “We’ve got very, very good intelligence into that.” Trump even claimed: “We know where Iranian sleeper cells are… We have eyes on all of them.” But he just left them in place? He didn’t immediately arrest them and brag about it on Truth Social?
Perhaps Trump magically discovered the locations of those cells moments before his speech, and instead of waiting for them to be arrested, he ran to the nearest camera and gave them the heads up. If there are any Iranian sleeper cells out there, the US president has just tipped them off!
Don’t worry though, if Trump fails to act in time to save lives, it was all Biden’s fault. The president was keen to emphasise that “a lot of people came in through Biden with this stupid open border policy.” He seems to know an awful lot about the sleeper cells that he can’t arrest, doesn’t he? I mean, come on, it’s so stupid only a MAGA supporter could fall for it!
We were told that an FBI alert was sent to police departments in California, warning that an Iranian drone attack was imminent. It stated: “We recently acquired information that as of early February 2026, Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United States Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the US conducted strikes against Iran.”
I’m assuming the memo was scrawled in crayon by Kash Patel with the words “trust me, bro” at the bottom because other agencies and officials are saying they have no intelligence to support this. Multiple sources describe the claim as “unverified” and “unvetted” with no details on timing, method, targets, or perpetrators. But the media is telling us “any second now”?
California Gov. Gavin Newsom said there’s no “imminent threat,” and law enforcement officials downplayed the alert as lacking credible backing—in other words, they don’t believe the FBI. Intelligence assessments suggest that Iran is years away from having the capability to meaningfully strike US soil.
The false flag plan was clearly falling apart so the Epstein Axis needed to come up with a story, fast. And after a two-minute emergency meeting at a mansion on Little St James, they came up with this gem: a couple of men strolled into Fort Campbell, Kentucky—a US military base—armed with big guns, and they walked out with four high-tech Skydio X10D AI-powered drones.
Now these are not just any old drones, they have capabilities like “thermal imaging, multiple attachment bays for payloads, and advanced autonomous flight”. We’re talking about serious tech and a major security breach.
No details have been released about how entry was achieved, whether force was used, if security systems were bypassed, or if there was any detection or alarm activation. We haven’t even been told the date of the incident, just a vague “between 21 and 24 November 2025”, but they’re only telling us about it now?
Now I had naturally assumed the intruders must have been wearing an invisibility cloak or something, but they were caught on security cameras. The Army Criminal Investigation Division is so concerned about being infiltrated that it is offering a measly $5,000 reward.
I didn’t think US propaganda could get any sillier than the Tyler Robinson transgender Antifa bullets story and yet here we are.
If you’re a US soldier, just know you’re about to be thrown into a meat grinder because your idiot politicians raped kids, started an illegal war, and then murdered their own citizens. Assuming the false flag succeeds and you buy the narrative, you’re about to kill and die for paedophile traitors.
Of course, the attack hasn’t happened yet, and given the number of people on social media speaking up, perhaps they will call it off at the last minute. We all need to raise our voices and let them know we’re onto them. If we do, we might save an awful lot of lives.
The famous Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC) has been hit by Iranian kamikaze drone wreckage – sending shivers to global banking bigwigs.
🔶 The Dubai authorities were quick to label it a “successful interception,” despite the conspicuous plume of smoke rising near the DIFC Innovation Hub
🔶 They offered no details about what had supposedly been “intercepted,” assuring the public only that the debris “caused a minor incident on the facade of a building”
🔶 Whatever minor damage was done to the building, the DIFC has sustained far greater reputational damage as a top global financial center
Everyone’s jumping the sinking ship?
🔶 The attack followed Iran’s March 11 warning (https://t.me/geopolitics_prime/66587) that it would retaliate against US and Israeli financial interests after a strike on a bank in Tehran
🔶 Iran’s warning triggered a hasty exodus of several major Western banks from offices in Dubai and elsewhere in the Gulf on the same day:
👉 Employees of the US financial services group Citi were instructed to vacate offices in the DIFC and Oud Metha district
👉 Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs followed suit
👉 British banking groups Standard Chartered and HSBC also began evacuating staff from their Dubai offices
👉 On the same day, British consulting firm PwC announced it would close offices in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, and Kuwait “for the remainder of the week”
👉 Staff of the British consulting firm Deloitte also evacuated their Dubai offices
🔶 Economic observers say the halo of safety that once surrounded Dubai has faded, warning that capital is likely to flee if the Iran war drags on
🔶 Even if the conflict eases, the vulnerability of Dubai’s airspace, infrastructure and communications has been laid bare for all to see

“Perhaps Trump’s lie about devastating Kharg Island is the start of his PR campaign to gaslight the American public into believing Iran is defeated, which would allow Trump to declare victory and start withdrawing US forces”
