L'ex-chef du FBI James Comey inculpé, les promesses de vengeance de Trump se concrétisent

«Je n'ai pas peur» a réagi jeudi l'ancien patron du FBI James Comey, inculpé pour entrave à la justice et fausses déclarations «en relation avec son témoignage devant la commission judiciaire du Sénat» en 2020. Une décision dont s'est réjoui Donald TrumpIl est l'une des bêtes noires de Donald Trump. L'ancien directeur du FBI James Comey a été inculpé, jeudi, notamment pour entrave à la justice, une décision immédiatement saluée par le président américain, dont les pressions visant les adversaires politiques commencent à porter leurs fruits.

«Aujourd'hui, un grand jury fédéral (une commission de citoyens investie de pouvoirs d'enquête) a inculpé l'ancien directeur du FBI, James Comey, d'infractions graves liées à la divulgation d'informations sensibles», a annoncé le ministère de la Justice dans un communiqué. L'ancien chef de la police fédérale, âge de 64 ans, est poursuivi pour fausse déclaration et entrave à la justice «en relation avec son témoignage oral devant la commission judiciaire du Sénat américain» en 2020, selon le ministère, précisant qu'il encourait jusqu'à cinq ans d'emprisonnement.James Comey était alors interrogé dans le cadre de l'enquête du FBI sur les liens supposés entre la Russie et la première campagne présidentielle de Donald Trump, en 2016.

Comey refuse de vivre «à genoux» face au président

«JUSTICE EN AMERIQUE!», s'est félicité ce dernier sur son réseau Truth Social, en décrivant James Comey comme «l'un des pires êtres humains que ce pays ait connu».

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/115267513846352215

L'intéressé lui a rapidement répondu: «Je n'ai pas peur. La peur est l'arme des tyrans». «Ma famille et moi savons depuis des années ce qu'il en coûte de s'opposer à Donald Trump», a-t-il assuré dans une vidéo sur Instagram, appelant à ne pas vivre «à genoux» face au président. «J'ai confiance dans la justice fédérale et je suis innocent», a conclu l'ex-chef du FBI.

Promesses de vengeance de Donald Trump

Depuis le retour au pouvoir en janvier de Donald Trump, après une campagne où il avait juré de se venger de ses adversaires politiques, les autorités américaines ont lancé plusieurs procédures contre des personnalités considérées comme hostiles au républicain, dont James Comey et l'ancien directeur de la CIA John Brennan.Le président américain avait mis la pression ce week-end sur le ministère de la Justice pour qu'il poursuive plus rapidement ceux qui lui ont mis des bâtons dans les roues, accroissant les craintes de l'opposition démocrate sur un risque de remise en cause de la séparation des pouvoirs.En juillet, il avait déjà suggéré que James Comey, comme John Brennan, pourrait devoir rendre des comptes. «Ce sont deux personnes très malhonnêtes. Je pense que ce sont des crapules finies et peut-être qu'ils devront en payer le prix», avait lancé Donald Trump devant la presse à la Maison-Blanche.

En attente de poursuites contre Letitia James

Lors de son premier mandat, il avait brutalement limogé James Comey en 2017 alors que le FBI enquêtait sur d'éventuelles ingérences russes dans la campagne présidentielle de 2016. Dans un rapport en 2019, le FBI avait conclu à l'insuffisance de preuves de collusion entre Moscou et l'équipe de Donald Trump mais avait relevé une série de pressions troublantes exercées par le président sur l'enquête.

A ce sujet: Violente passe d’armes entre James Comey et Donald Trump

Alors que ses opposants l'accusent de dérive autoritaire, Donald Trump n'a pas caché son impatience face aux atermoiements du ministère de la Justice dans d'éventuelles poursuites contre d'autres adversaires, dont la procureure générale de l'Etat de New York Letitia James. Cette dernière est accusée par le responsable de l'Agence de financement du logement Bill Pulte, un proche de Donald Trump, de falsification de documents concernant des demandes de prêts immobiliers.La semaine dernière, le départ du procureur fédéral Erik Siebert avait été annoncé par les médias quelques heures après que Donald Trump eut publiquement réclamé son départ. Selon la presse américaine, Erik Siebert avait refusé, faute de preuves suffisantes, d'engager des poursuites contre Letitia James mais aussi James Comey.Depuis, Donald Trump a nommé Lindsey Halligan, une conseillère de la Maison-Blanche, à sa place, estimant que la ministre de la Justice Pam Bondi avait «besoin d'un procureur dur» à ses côtés «pour faire bouger les choses».

Lisa Cook Tells Supreme Court There Will Be Market "Chaos And Disruption" If She Is Fired

Lisa Cook Tells Supreme Court There Will Be Market "Chaos And Disruption" If She Is Fired

What do you do when you are highly underqualified for your job, which you https://x.com/realchrisrufo/status/1778090579303522533

, and on top of it all you broke the law and now your current boss doesn't want you any more? Well, you sue of course... and if that doesn't work, you claim that the world will end if you are let go.

Yes, that's the traditional flowchart for government DEI hires, it's also what Fed governor Lisa Cook is doing as she fights tooth and nail to say on at the Fed.

?itok=tTUvYxQU

Fed Governor Lisa Cook’s attorneys urged the US Supreme Court to let her stay on the job while she fights President Donald Trump’s attempt to fire her, warning that even her temporary removal risks “chaos and disruption” in financial markets.

Granting the Justice Department’s request to allow Trump to immediately oust her “would sound the death knell for the central-bank independence that has helped make the United States’ economy the strongest in the world,” her lawyers https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25/25A312/377893/20250925151427957_20250925%20Cook%20SCOTUS%20Stay%20Opposition.pdf

.

Or maybe just keep your client from breaking the law? Of course, since that's impossible, you go straight to the apocalypse that will follow should Trump get to say his favorite phrase.

In her brief, Cook's lawyers claim that Trump should have no authority to fire her, and that as of 2023, "only 12 nations with central banks allow the removal of central-bank board members at the executive’s discretion for policy reasons or for no reason at all." Those 12 nations are Bangladesh, Chile, China, Comoros, Iran, Kazakhstan, Laos, Morocco, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkmenistan, and Vietnam.

Well, the US will make it 13.

The DOJ has asked the Supreme Court to let Trump remove Cook, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, who has continued serving in her post since late August when Trump announced he would remove her due to mortgage fraud allegations that she’s denied.

The Supreme Court set a fast schedule for written briefs in the case but hasn’t signaled precisely when it intends to rule.

In the new filing, Cook’s lawyers argued that the Justice Department’s delay in asking for Supreme Court intervention until after the Fed’s last policy meeting on Sept. 16-17 was a possible sign the administration “understood the chaos” that might unleash in markets. It also undercut the government’s demand for “immediate relief,” according to the filing.

Cook’s brief cites a 2009 law review article in which then-Judge Brett Kavanaugh discussed how the Fed is insulated from direct presidential control because of its “power to directly affect the short-term functioning of the US economy.” Kavanaugh, now a Supreme Court justice, will be a pivotal vote in the case.

The largely conservative Supreme Court this year has largely sided with Trump in fights over his firings of other federal agency officials, but the justices previously made a point of distinguishing the Fed as a “uniquely structured, quasi-private entity.” A key question with Cook is whether the court will apply that distinction in a case involving alleged wrongdoing by a Fed official, albeit before she was appointed to her post.

Cook’s theatrical filing came hours after she won the support of a bipartisan group of former Treasury secretaries, former Federal chairs and other experts who all https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25/25A312/376844/20250925093950081_25A312%20-%20Amicus%20Br.%20in%20Opposition%20to%20Application.pdf

, backing her case with the justices. The group, which includes former Fed chairs Ben Bernanke, Alan Greenspan and Janet Yellen - the people directly responsible for America's catastrophic debt load - said allowing Trump to oust Cook while she challenges her removal would do lasting damage to the public’s trust in the Fed while jeopardizing the credibility and efficacy of US monetary policy.

As if anyone believes the Federal "Inflation is transitory" Reserve has credibility, especially after it slashed rates 50bps 2 months before the 2024 election to ensure that Kamala Harris is elected. As for the letter, it's not the first time we have seen https://intelligence.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1432

bend over backwards and trample their reputation, just to lie just to perpetuate the broken status quo.

NEW: Every living former Fed chair (Greenspan, Bernanke, Yellen) ...

Trump said last month he was firing Cook after Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte accused her of fraudulently listing homes in Michigan and Georgia as a “primary residence” when she obtained mortgages in 2021 to secure more favorable terms on loans.

Cook’s lawyers have said the allegations are part of a “smear campaign” aimed at discrediting Cook and helping Trump seize control of the Fed, which he has pressured for months to lower interest rates. They argued in the latest brief to the Supreme Court that “fundamental flaws” in the mortgage fraud claims “have already come to light,” citing media reports that she “properly declared her Michigan home as her principal residence” and “accurately described the Georgia property in question as a vacation home.”

“When that record is compiled, it will demonstrate that Governor Cook never acted improperly with respect to her mortgages and thus will eliminate the president’s stated ground for his purported removal,” her lawyers wrote.

A month ago, Cook filed a lawsuit in federal court in Washington to block her dismissal, arguing Trump’s unproven claims about mortgage fraud do not amount to “cause” under US law for firing her, and that her purported dismissal via social media post deprived her of her constitutional right to due process.

Shortly after, her sorority sister, US District Judge Jia Cobb on Sept. 9 ruled that Cook could remain on the job as her case proceeded, saying that Trump’s attempt to oust her likely violated the law. A divided federal appeals court upheld the ruling on Sept. 15, just hours before the start of the Fed’s highly anticipated two-day meeting to vote on interest rates.

The officials lowered their benchmark interest rate by a quarter percentage point. One year ago they lowered the rate by half a percentage point when the economy was in stronger shape and when inflation was hotter. However, back then the Fed was also tasked with helping elected Kamala Harris. It failed.

Denmark Alerts NATO After Mystery Drone Incursions Disrupt Airports

Denmark Alerts NATO After Mystery Drone Incursions Disrupt Airports

European countries have over the last several weeks been growing more vocal over alleged Russian-backed 'hybrid attacks' on their infrastructure, and the latest focal points have been airports.

Denmark now says its airports are under threat from mysterious unauthorized drones, and was forced to close Aalborg airport - one of the nation's largest - for several hours Wednesday evening. The international airport is located in the northern Jutland region and facilitates commercial and at times military flights.

This comes after on Monday Copenhagen airport was temporarily closed due to a drone incursion. Danish authorities say they can't rule out a prank, but have pointed to professional actors being behind the incidents. "Aalborg, Esbjerg, Sonderborg and Skrydstrup airports were all affected overnight on Thursday," European sources https://www.euronews.com/2025/09/25/denmark-is-on-alert-after-unauthorised-drone-activity-over-four-airports-on-wednesday-nigh

.

?itok=NZevjSYz

There were additional UAV sightings near military bases, in a series of incidents which took place between 10pm on Wednesday and about 1am on https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/sep/25/drones-aalborg-airport-denmark-closed-days-after-copenhagen-oslo

:

The Danish military said it had seen drones at “several military installations” – including Skrydstrup airbase and the The Jutland Dragoon Regiment barracks in Holstebro, warning it may “take down” drones at military sites.

Police in Denmark and in Sweden said they were investigating multiple reports of drone sightings – including over Danish oilfields and in Stockholm.

Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen in a Thursday news briefing used the words "hybrid attack" that appears part of a "systematic operation" - but also disclosed that the drones were deployed locally.

The goal is to supposedly sow fear and division, again suggesting Danish authorities believe external state actors are behind the https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/25/denmark-shuts-second-airport-in-a-week-more-unidentified-drones-spotted

:

"There can be no doubt that everything points to this being the work of a professional actor when we are talking about such a systematic operation in so many locations at virtually the same time. This is what I would define as a hybrid attack using different types of drones."

Three smaller airports this week also had drone sightings which were monitored, but these incidents didn't result in any closures or flight stoppages.

NATO countries have been in a heightened state of alert after last week's Russian drone and jet incursion incidents in Poland, Romania, and Estonia.

Denmark could simply be hyping this week's occurrences near airports to shine a further spotlight on Russia, given nothing definitive has been established - and it is not entirely unusual for some individual's hobby drone to get too close to an operating airport.

EuroNews reports that Denmark is even raising the issue with https://www.euronews.com/2025/09/25/denmark-is-on-alert-after-unauthorised-drone-activity-over-four-airports-on-wednesday-nigh

:

Denmark has reached out to NATO and the EU after it was forced to close Aalborg airport and placed three other airports on alert on Thursday as unauthorized drones conducted what authorities described as coordinated attacks.

Copenhagen was considering whether to trigger the alliance's Article 4, in what was a hybrid attack involving a "systematic approach" in flying the drones near critical infrastructure, Danish Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said at a press conference on Thursday.

Authorization was given to shoot down the drones in case of future incidents, authorities said.

Drones reportedly circle over Denmark near F-16 and F-35 bases as authorities consider state of emergency — prepping for a false flag? https://t.co/TIHkQDuZFx

— Jungle Journey (@JnglJourney) https://twitter.com/JnglJourney/status/1971084752687071377?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

"We are going to find the people who are behind this," Poulsen said. "We need to have a wide range of tools to combat what comes our way, whether it's missiles or drones."

So clearly this is being seized upon to call for greater defense preparedness and investment, and to get the population ready to 'confront' Russia - despite the mystery drone incidents still not being solved.

​​​​​​​"I'm Not Afraid": James Comey Fires Back After Indictment

​​​​​​​"I'm Not Afraid": James Comey Fires Back After Indictment

Update (2045ET):

Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey has released a video statement in response to the indictments against him, saying, "I’m innocent… I'm not afraid… Let's have a trial."

🚨 BREAKING: Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey responds to his indictment, reading an obvious script

“I’m innocent… I’m not afraid… Let’s have a trial.”

Yes, James. Let’s do that 😏 https://t.co/cDaJebFJ6s

— Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/1971368328938877404?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

*   *   *

Finally.

With just days to go until the statute of limitations ran out, disgraced former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted on two of three counts sought by prosecutors - one count of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice - just days after President Donald Trump issued a public demand for his Justice Department to act "now" to bring prosecutions against Comey.

The charges against Comey are a long-overdue escalation in what Trump's liberal critics have described as a campaign of retribution by Trump to use the powers of the federal government to enact revenge against those he believes have wronged him. Others, have pointed out that Trump is merely doing to his opponents what they repeatedly tried to do to him.

The way Comey not only tried to destroy General Flynn and his family by framing him, but later mockingly bragged about it, remains one of the most disgraceful abuses ever committed by an FBI director. He deserves prison for that alone. https://t.co/nQ32z8wr8u

— Hans Mahncke (@HansMahncke) https://twitter.com/HansMahncke/status/1971001479101305238?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

The charges follow Trump's decision to oust U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Erik Siebert, who had reportedly refused to bring cases against Comey, as well as New York Attorney General Letitia James, after Trump appointed him to lead the office. Trump then immediately moved to install Lindsey Halligan, a White House aide and his former defense attorney, to lead the office.

The preemptive false framing of a potential James Comey indictment as a political hit is being driven by leaks from inside DOJ and/or the U.S. Attorney’s Office in EDVA. Kash and his team must launch a full-scale leak investigation into who’s behind it and chase it to the end. https://t.co/BwRCtzRuAe

— Hans Mahncke (@HansMahncke) https://twitter.com/HansMahncke/status/1971004420080140467?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

In a series of social media posts over the weekend, Trump said Halligan was being appointed to the office to "get things moving," after attacking Siebert for his resistance to bring what Trump described as a "GREAT CASE."

"Pam Bondi is doing a GREAT job as Attorney General of the United States. She is very careful, very smart, loves our Country, but needs a tough prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia, like my recommendation, Lindsey Halligan, to get things moving," Trump said.

Comey, who was fired by Trump during Trump's first term over the investigation into Trump's 2016 campaign and its ties to Russia - which as everyone knows by now was one giant hoax -  has been a vocal critic of what he says are Trump's efforts to politicize the justice system. Comey proceeded to leak the ongoing case to the NYT and to weaponize not only the deep state but the entire liberal press against the president.

That argument is now likely to be central to Comey's defense in his criminal case, which could prove to be a highly consequential test for both the Justice Department and the federal judiciary.

A chunk of Bangkok’s busy Samsen Road collapsed in a dramatic sinkhole on Wednesday, snapping power poles, dragging cars into the abyss, and forcing evacuations as videos of the disaster ricocheted across social media.

White House Plans Emergency Orders To Keep Coal Plants Running As Power Bill Crisis Emerges

White House Plans Emergency Orders To Keep Coal Plants Running As Power Bill Crisis Emerges

The Trump administration is urgently addressing the power bill crisis by continuing to use emergency authority to prevent coal-fired power plants from retiring, https://news.bloomberglaw.com/environment-and-energy/us-plans-to-use-emergency-powers-to-stop-more-coal-closures

the severity of the crisis as it now becomes a "major political issue" and liability for Democrats.

The Energy Department has already issued emergency orders to keep two fossil fuel plants open (a Michigan coal plant owned by Consumers Energy and a Pennsylvania oil-gas generator owned by Constellation Energy), and plans will include other fossil fuel power generation plants in the weeks and months ahead. There are approximately 8.1 GW of coal power capacity, or about 5% of the U.S. fleet, slated for retirement this year, according to the latest EIA data.

"I think this administration's policy is going to be to stop the closure of coal plants," Wright told the audience Wednesday during an event hosted by the New York Times. He said retiring coal-fired power plants "that are working today" would send power prices higher, and derail efforts to reindustrialize the U.S. economy.

?itok=0e_3Cs_S

"We're not going to not close any coal plants, but we're trying to protect the American consumers to get affordable electricity," Wright continued. "We want data centers to be able to locate here. We want semiconductor manufacturing to locate here. We want aluminum and steel production to come back and that takes energy."

Climate alarmist Democrats pushed years of 'climate crisis' hoax narrative in an informational war against the American people. This resulted in climate change laws that forced the retirement of stable fossil fuel power plants in favor of unreliable solar and wind energy, which only sent reliable spare capacity on the grid sliding lower.

Just remember, the climate crisis was a leftist grift ...

?itok=HzkwlFyI

Goldman analysts, led by Hongcen Wei, recently warned that America's power crisis is just getting started, with "https://www.zerohedge.com/ai/price-spikes-blackouts-americas-power-crisis-just-getting-started

" ahead. The problem is that nine out of 13 U.S. regional power grids have reached dangerously low spare capacity levels that are at or below the critical reliability threshold. This raises blackout threats and results in power price spikes during high-demand usage hours.

?itok=R2Ynie1l

Wright told Congress earlier this year that solar and wind subsidies have been disastrous for the grid.

Lobbyists' worst nightmare: 4 minutes of Energy Secretary Chris Wright telling Congress why solar and wind subsidies must be terminated ASAP. https://t.co/GlBNv75pDp

In July, Wright told Fox Business about Trump's plan to add "more energy to the grid."

Sec. Chris Wright: "For 30 years... we've paid people to build intermittent sources that only work when the wind's blowing or when the sun's shining. The more of that you put on the grid, the more expensive electricity becomes for Americans."https://t.co/P0iXZKlFMj

It's time to hold those accountable who pushed disastrous green policies, such as the Democratic Party leadership at the local, state, and federal levels. On top of this climate crisis grift, Democrats tried to loot taxpayers in a $20 billion heist to enrich their NGOs (https://www.zerohedge.com/political/biden-epa-tossed-20-billion-gold-bars-titanic-ngo-network

). That money is still apparently locked at Citi in an unfolding court battle.

Watch: Trump Signs TikTok Executive Order, Avoiding US Ban

Watch: Trump Signs TikTok Executive Order, Avoiding US Ban

Update (1655ET): President Trump on Thursday signed an executive order approving a deal to keep TikTok in the United States.

?itok=KyMxX8qP

The Chinese-owned social media platform is set to be spun off into a separate US entity in order to comply with a 2024 law requiring ByteDance to divest or face a US ban.

The deal comes nine months after the law was originally set to go into effect, with Trump issuing repeated delays on enforcement in the hopes of striking an agreement.

Last week admin officials revealed that there was a "framework" for a deal following trade talks with China - which Trump said on Friday Chinese President Xi Jinping had approved.

Under the deal, a group of US investors including Oracle and Silver Lake will take a majority stake in the new TikTok entity, while ByteDance will maintain less than 20% equity to comply with the law. Oracle will also provide security for the new TikTok, and will inspect and retrain a copy of the platform's recommendation algorithm on US user data (not Palantir?).

VP JD Vance said the company is valued at around $14 billion.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/trump-to-sign-tiktok-us-deal-on-thursday-5919807?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=ZeroHedge

President Donald Trump will sign an executive order approving a new TikTok U.S. joint venture on Sept. 25, a White House official told The Epoch Times.

The order will extend China-based ByteDance’s divestment deadline for 120 days, giving U.S. investors and ByteDance time to seek regulatory approvals and close a deal.

The TikTok U.S. joint venture will have a new board with seven seats, six of which will be held by Americans with backgrounds in cybersecurity and national security. The seventh will be held by ByteDance, which will be excluded from security-related decisions.

In accordance with the law requiring ByteDance to divest itself of TikTok, ByteDance will retain a stake of less than 20 percent in the new venture.

The popular social media app has approximately 170 million monthly users, and White House officials anticipate that it will contribute $178 billion to economic development over the next four years.

U.S. cloud company Oracle is among the investors and will serve as the venture’s trusted technology partner, overseeing the app’s source code and security matters.

White House officials have said this means that Oracle will be tasked with taking its copy of the infamous TikTok algorithm, retraining it on U.S. user data, and observing it for any signs of malicious influence.

It is a role similar to the one proposed in TikTok’s “Project Texas” plan, pitched a few years ago, with a key difference being that ByteDance is no longer in charge of code operations and will no longer send U.S. data to China.

Trump had deemed China’s access to TikTok a national security risk in his first administration, ordering an investigation and later issuing an executive order that required ByteDance to sell the app to a U.S. buyer in 2020.

The years-long efforts to secure the app from Chinese influence have seen https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/trump-hints-tiktok-deal-reached-with-china-will-speaks-with-xi-on-friday-5915108

developments recently, as U.S. and Chinese trade negotiators met in Madrid on Sept. 15, with a looming deadline of Sept. 17 that would have seen TikTok go dark unless Trump ordered otherwise.

A Chinese export control law covering recommendation algorithms had made selling the app untenable, https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/tiktok-mired-in-legal-battles-as-deadline-looms-over-ban-5733972

.

On Sept. 19, Trump announced that, following a two-hour call with Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping, approval had apparently been given at the highest level.

This means that ByteDance will now need to secure an export license for the algorithm on the Chinese side. On the U.S. side, the venture will likely need to undergo antitrust reviews, officials have said.

U.S. officials have said that securing the algorithm and having it outside of ByteDance’s control in the new venture was a “tough point of negotiation,” as Chinese negotiators had sought significant trade and technology concessions in return.

“We are not willing to sacrifice national security for a social media app,” U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/trump-hints-tiktok-deal-reached-with-china-will-speaks-with-xi-on-friday-5915108?ea_src=author_manual&ea_med=related_stories

reporters in Madrid on Sept. 15.

China hawks in Congress have expressed cautious approval, wanting to ensure that the terms of the final deal satisfy the law Congress passed in 2024 to block foreign adversaries from accessing apps with more than 1 million monthly users.

NATO Has Already 'Declared Real War' On Russia Through Ukraine, Lavrov Says

NATO Has Already 'Declared Real War' On Russia Through Ukraine, Lavrov Says

Update(1535ET): Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov addressed a meeting of G20 foreign ministers on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly meeting in New York on Thursday, and he really unleashed, going after NATO and the European Union for declaring a real war on Russia through Ukraine.

His remarks came on the heels of NATO warning Russia it is prepared to defend "every inch of allied territory" after Estonia said that Russian fighter jets had violated its airspace last week. He started by accusing the Western alliance of failing to adhere to the principles of the UN Charter, which he described as "a manifestation of neocolonial ambitions, [which] leads to increased global instability and breeds regional conflicts."

"A clear example is the crisis in Ukraine, provoked by the collective West, through which NATO and the European Union want to declare, in fact, have already declared a real war on my country and are directly participating in it," Lavrov https://tass.com/politics/2021401

.

"The escalation in the Middle East is in the same row," Lavrov continued. "The unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza has already claimed the lives of 65,000 people, and some UN officials working in the Middle East say there are estimates that the death toll is 10 times higher. None of Israel's neighbors can feel safe; we see this every day." Watch below:

Both NATO and EU officials have indicated that shooting Russian planes out of the sky is an option "on the table" if there are further breaches of European airspace, in a dire warning.

* * *

The below interview exchange between CNN's warmonger in chief Christiane Amanpour and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is a perfect illustrator of why NATO countries in eastern Europe and the Baltics are now hyping recent Russian drones incursions into European airspace. There is a new dangerous drive to 'confront' Russia, potentially sparking WW3, at a moment Ukraine forces continue steadily losing ground along the front lines...

CNN's Amanpour: Türkiye shot down a Russian jet 10 years ago, and did not suffer consequences necessarily.

Ursula von der Leyen: It is a principle of NATO and Article 5.

Amanpour: What is taking you so long? Is it time now to punch back in the nose?

Ursula von der Leyen: It is… https://t.co/772aWwWFKk

Amanpour wants NATO and the EU to "punch back" against Russia and hit it "on the nose" - even though this chickenhawk armchair general herself will never fight this conflict.

Von der Leyen assured Amanpour that the option of shooting Russian aircraft out of the sky is "on the table" - following last week's alleged drone and jet incursion incidents which took place in Poland, Romania, and Estonia. In each instance jets were scrambled from the NATO countries.

"My opinion is we have to defend every square centimeter of the territory," von der Leyen told the CNN correspondent. "That means if there is an intrusion in the airspace, after warning, after being very clear, of course the option of shooting down a fighter jet that is intruding our airspace is on the table."

President Trump could potentially veto such a drastic action if formal consultations were held, but it does present the highly dangerous scenario of a NATO member choosing to 'shoot first, consult later' if airspace is violated.

Russian Ambassador to France, Alexey Meshkov, has said in a fresh interview with the RTL news channel published Thursday that if NATO shoots down a Russian plane this "would be war".

He warned: "You know, there are many NATO planes that violate Russian airspace, deliberately or not, but it happens quite often. They are not shot down afterward." He didn't follow with any specific example of this, however.

If NATO shoots down a Russian plane, it would be WAR.

— Clash Report (@clashreport) https://twitter.com/clashreport/status/1971214933598798060?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Meshkov further in the remarks denied accusations that Russian warplanes have been deliberately entering NATO countries' airspace. The biggest instance was Estonia's allegation that three Russian MiG-31 jets violated Estonia for 12-minutes over the Gulf of Finland last Friday morning.

Currently, there's been a lot of speculation over where President Trump stands in all of this. He has made comments which appeared to downplay the drone and jet incursion incidents, but he's also this week at the UN encouraged Ukraine's Zelensky to seek to take back all territory currently held by the Russians. He has previously repeatedly said that the world must avoid WW3 with Russia at all costs, and has sought to improve US-Russia bilateral relations of late.

Hegseth Abruptly Summons All Generals, Admirals From Across Globe For Quantico Meeting

Hegseth Abruptly Summons All Generals, Admirals From Across Globe For Quantico Meeting

There's intense, ongoing rampant speculation in the aftermath of breaking news reports saying Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has called top US military leaders from across the globe to gather at a meeting next week at Marine Corps base Quantico - which lies some 30 minutes south of Washington D.C.

Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/09/25/hegseth-generals-quantico-meeting/

over a dozen people familiar with the matter who described all senior officers with the rank of brigadier general or above have been summoned, including all Navy admirals, which will amount to some 800 top commanders being gathered. No explanation has been given by the Pentagon chief.

Despite President Trump this week having boasted that his administration has solved "seven conflicts" - it remains that the globe's biggest wars are still raging: Ukraine and Gaza. At the moment, European officials have been warning Russia that NATO is ready and willing to https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/gold-oil-jump-after-europe-privately-warned-russia-its-ready-shoot-down-its-jets

if they breach NATO airspace.

?itok=zk1gGgnk

These are tense and very on edge times, and so "The unexpected confab has created confusion and alarm, as there has not been a defense secretary in recent history who has ordered such a large number of the military’s top officers to gather like this," https://thehill.com/homenews/5521707-hegseth-summons-top-generals/

points out.

Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell has meanwhile confirmed, "The Secretary of War will be addressing his senior military leaders early next week." Specifically the meeting is set for Tuesday, Sept. 30.

It's become clear that all of these top commanders, even those stationed at far-flung bases overseas in Europe, the Middle East or across the Pacific, are expected to be there in person - again, making this highly unusual. Some outlets asked the Pentagon to clarify whether some will participate remotely but there was no response.

The Washington Post described Hegseth's summons was sent worldwide, across the Middle East, Europe and Indo-Pacific, via secure government means of communication which is available to bases and embassies across countries and time zones.

Will a new force posture related to Russia and the Ukraine war be announced? Is this brink of WW3-related stuff?

BREAKING: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth calls a “rare, urgent meeting” of hundreds of generals and admirals. https://t.co/v7nKMqUaaB

— Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1971223648754336210?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Will Hegseth roll out more on his prioritizing China within DoD intelligence in readiness?

Or will this meeting concern more drastic changes at top command ranks? After all, there has been a significant amount of firings, hirings, and reshufflings within the DoD. Just last month Hegseth fired Defense Intelligence Agency Director Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse, Navy Reserve Chief Vice Adm. Nancy Lacore, and Naval Special Warfare Command head Rear Adm. Milton Sands.

There's been plenty of other movement and 'house-cleaning' happening at the Pentagon and within the DoD of late.

This is either a meeting that could have been an email (amid Russian incursions on NATO territory, including Alaska) or something ominous. https://t.co/8Da1SAgKzZ

— Matthew Gertz (@MattGertz) https://twitter.com/MattGertz/status/1971225353520807966?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Possibly, this whole thing could just be somewhat mundane and ceremonial. The administration has shown a penchant for parades and public displays of military strength. Could this be another very costly waste of time and resources that the summoned generals end up complaining about behind closed doors? A loyalty test maybe? The speculation continues.

DoJ Reportedly Directs Prosecutors To Investigate Soros Foundation Amid Far-Left Chaos Nationwide

DoJ Reportedly Directs Prosecutors To Investigate Soros Foundation Amid Far-Left Chaos Nationwide

The news cycle for dark-money, billionaire-funded NGOs is about to get optically displeasing for the Democratic Party and its elitist donor class, who have bankrolled what we consider the "protest-industrial complex."

For years, these leftist billionaire-backed nonprofits have waged an all-out war against President Trump and his MAGA base, funding and facilitating nonstop leftist "color revolution" operations, propping up extremist movements, https://www.zerohedge.com/political/soros-funded-dark-money-group-secretly-paying-democrat-influencers-shape-gen-z-politics

and turning them into revolutionaries, and amplifying a decade of dangerous rhetoric that smeared MAGA as "fascists" and "Nazis." These leftist, or Marxists, also fueled nation-killing agendas like DEI and criminal and social-justice reforms, which have proven disastrous for the longevity of the country.

?itok=A7U8Lr5A

A new report from https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/us/politics/justice-trump-george-soros-foundation.html

shows the Trump administration is preparing to investigate dark-money-funded NGOs that operate in the shadows, with the ultimate goal of not only destroying President Trump and MAGA, but also driving capitalism to collapse and ensuring the nation as we know it today no longer exists in the next decade.

NYT said a senior Justice Department official directed at least six U.S. attorneys' offices to prepare investigative plans targeting the Open Society Foundations (OSF), bankrolled by radical leftist billionaire Democratic donor George Soros - now his leftist son, Alex, runs operations.

?itok=pbC0PIrn

NYT's report comes after the https://capitalresearch.org/article/exclusive-soros-open-society-gave-80-million-to-pro-terror-groups/

, a think tank that tracks foundations, charities, and other nonprofits, released a report last week detailing an explosive revelation: OSF "gave $80 million to pro-terror groups."

?itok=l4DTbMzH

Let's take a step back to understand that cracks were already rapidly forming across the NGO world shortly after the Trump administration nuked the United States Agency for International Development. Then came domestic terrorist operations by far-left groups that burned Tesla showrooms and vehicles nationwide. At the time, we focused on the Gates Foundation that funded the Aarbella network that plowed millions into 'No Kings' protests (https://www.zerohedge.com/political/dark-money-network-funneled-millions-no-kings-nationwide-color-revolution-operation

). These protests ultimately failed, but there were color revolution-style operations aimed at influencing public opinion polls and promoting regime change in Washington. This is the same bullshit strategy U.S. intelligence agencies use overseas.

💰 $114.8 Million Dark Money Infusion: The Arabella Advisors network has funneled at least $114.8 million to “No Kings” protest organizers and affiliates

according to most recent ('19-'23) financial disclosures analyzed by GAI. https://t.co/qWHyuAa7Tg

— Seamus Bruner (@seamusbruner) https://twitter.com/seamusbruner/status/1933626755358863457?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

More context here:

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/dark-money-network-funneled-millions-no-kings-nationwide-color-revolution-operation

?itok=t6YyGpRV

Then came revelations late in the summer, via a NYT report, that the Gates Foundation had severed ties with the Arabella dark-money network. And for good reason: the foundation likely realized that money funneled into the Arabella network would only strengthen Trump's push to launch investigations into the NGO world (deep state/parallel government). And that's precisely what might have happened.

?itok=XGL7C3Oa

Late summer arrived when Trump, out of the blue, began blasting Soros on Truth Social: he "should be charged with RICO because they support violent protests." Trump was likely referring to anti-ICE and Tesla takedown protests earlier in the year.

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/gates-foundation-cuts-ties-arabella-advisors-linked-funding-radical-leftist-causes

Shortly after, a series of leftist violence erupted - from the transgender shooter who stormed a church in Minneapolis, to the leftist with a transgender boyfriend suspected in the Kirk political assassination, to https://www.zerohedge.com/political/sniper-attack-dallas-ice-facility-leaves-three-wounded-local-media-reports

describes the rise in far militancy as "nihilistic accelerationism" suggesting that "Far-left extremism extends far beyond groups like Antifa. There is an entire revolutionary (marxist) ecosystem of interconnected entities: billion-dollar progressive NGOs, anarchist networks, political organizations such as the DSA, foreign influence operations like the Singham network, gaming platforms, Discord servers and reddit threads, the dark web, and even civil-rights organizations staffed with "movement lawyers" fully dedicated to waging war against the West until it collapses."

Marxist-aligned groups operating across America to subvert the nation and collapse capitalism are already "planning war against fascists."

Where did Charlie Kirk's murderer learn to call conservatives "fascists"?

Meanwhile, the Trump administration is moving full steam ahead to neutralize radical leftists and their NGOs that sow chaos - a crackdown that will extend well beyond Soros and likely include Roy Singham in China, as well as PFLP, Samidoun, and leftist American dynasty families and their nonprofits. Americans remember who funded the BLM riots that destroyed their businesses and cities. Accountability is coming.

Obama Defends Tylenol, Gets Wrecked In Replies

Obama Defends Tylenol, Gets Wrecked In Replies

Former President Barack Hussein Obama has chimed in on the Tylenol controversy, after President Donald Trump warned pregnant women not to take the drug (acetaminophen), citing research showing a link to autism in children.

?itok=iA6Gf5KT

In a Thursday post to X, Obama defended the drug - writing that 'broad claims around certain drugs and autism' have been 'continuously disproven,' - and as such, 'undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant,' and 'create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic...

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven. The degree to which those comments can undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant, create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic –… https://t.co/rxCZ7OIzs8

Perhaps now is a good time to point out that donations from employees of Tylenol maker Kenvue have https://www.opensecrets.org/donor-lookup/results?name=&cycle=&state=&zip=&employ=kenvue&occupation=&jurisdiction=&cand=&type=

to Democrats.

Needless to say, Obama must have missed all the receipts showing a mountain of research - as well as Tylenol's own warnings - that pregnant women avoid the drug, or 'talk to your doctor' - and got scorched in the replies.

Wait, you're now actually calling these warnings some kind of "violence"? Even though this Mount Sinai study, summarized via press release around a month ago, supports a link between acetaminophen and autism/ADHD?

Truly next level.https://t.co/Qvap9HSU4u

Tylenol, meanwhile, has issued a hilarious statement in the wake of this PR disaster:

"Acetaminophen is the safest pain reliever option for pregnant women as needed throughout their entire pregnancy," said a spokesperson. "Our products are safe and effective when used as directed on the product label. We recommend pregnant women do not take any over-the-counter medication, including acetaminophen, without talking to their doctor first."

Yes, talk to your doctor first.

My Entrepreneurial Journey - Part Eight

Onward with my adventures (and misadventures) as an entrepreneur. In my last article, I told you about how I made money using OPM (Other People's Money). So let's skip ahead a few chapters and get right to it.

Naturally, after the success of investing other people's money, I figured all I had to do was get more money from more people and my commission would take off.

I was wrong. Immediately, I used my experience and results to attract new clients. It worked! The year was 2020. The pandemic was easing, and people were starting to have faith again.

At that moment, the financial market did something never seen before: an incredible upward curve of growth. Many "experts" said it was going to crash, that it was impossible to keep going up, that we were at the top.

But none of them managed to spot the most important thing at that moment: THE WORLD HAD CHANGED! And for good.

New fortunes were made (and lost), new professions emerged. Being a YouTuber was now a legitimate career, and we discovered that we didn't need offices for work to get done. And just like that, the financial market changed too.

Cryptocurrencies exploded, new financial instruments were created, and ETFs emerged (including crypto ETFs). More and more "artificial money" was created. All of this happened with the "blessing of the Father Fed."

[I'll leave these two excellent videos that explain why our system was, is, and will continue to be manipulated. (Sorry...)

* https://youtu.be/DyV0OfU3-FU?si=9sTB6Wp1rPmuHDll

In short, everyone wanted to get rich from the stock market opportunities.

Opportunity, Patience, and More Money

By then, I had raised a six-figure sum from a handful of clients. I invested in undervalued stocks with a good performance record for the year. We saw an 18% return in 2020, then 12% in 2021.

In absolute terms, these were solid numbers with low risk exposure. However, you already know what clients want, right?

100, 200, 300% annual returns. That was the REAL expectation of the clients. Honestly, if I knew how to achieve those numbers, I wouldn't have taken money from anyone else to invest. I would have mortgaged everything my family owned and gotten rich in 3, 2, 1...

In the end, patience (or the lack of it) is what beat me. I always traded very little—maybe two or three trades per month. Most of my time was dedicated to reading, researching, understanding, and tracking the businesses we were invested in. Each month, I'd make small adjustments, either reducing or increasing our position based on the company's value movement each quarter or significant news.

Disillusionment or a Lack of Understanding?

The part of the financial market that frustrated me the most was always having to warn people about the risks and manage their expectations. And in the end, I'd hear the same excuses.

Investors need to understand how boring and complex the financial market is. In the end, what we know is just a drop in the ocean of what we don't know.

That's why my recommendation is (if possible): Never sell anything! Good investment ideas are rare. You're lucky if you have two or three good ideas a year, except during major events like the COVID pandemic.

We have less control over a company's price and fundamentals than we like to assume. I always recommend: have savings, avoid debt, have a three-month emergency fund, and have cash-generating assets or a highly specialized job (because it increases your salary).

Only then should you invest.

At the end of 2021, I returned 100% of the money to investors without charging my commission fee. Making 12% for the year wasn't enough for them.

Lesson learned: Create businesses where you have the most control over the outcomes.

In Part 9, I'll talk about the next steps I took toward the business I have today and how my path was shaped. Until next time.
