Midterms 2026 – America goes to the polls! It’s voting day for the “most important election of our lifetime”. Again. These midterms will decide control of congress for the final two years of Trump’s Presidency, and set the narrative for those years and the next Presidential term. Either Trump retains control, and everything that goes wrong is the Republicans fault. Or there’s a “blue wave” and the Democrat controlled congress blocks Trump’s plans to finally “Make America Great Again” (for real this time). Traditionally you’d expect Team Blue to win this one, pumping some hopium into the Democrat supporters ahead of 2030 and intentionally paralysing…...

Encroachment and Blight: Visualising the Right to Be If someone were to suddenly drop you in Amsterdam Noord or a new-build project in Toronto or Copenhagen, you might have some difficulty knowing which country you were in. The architecture and activities of the street would be similar: the ‘universal city’ by design conveys a sense of placelessness. We see standardised architecture, chain retail dominating, zoned areas and surveillance networks monitoring every action and square inch of space. The right to ‘do nothing’ on the street or to indulge in spontaneous acts without ‘permission’ is seen as loitering or suspicious, as public space is converted into a purely…...

The Hive ‘In three hundred metres, turn right off the dual carriageway…’ A grey stack of cubes and rectangles sat on the horizon like an abandoned Tetris game as he finished his sausage McMuffin, washing it down with a sip of vanilla latte. As a food tech correspondent, Eliot Cranum permitted himself these small indulgences between reporting on the latest culinary innovations. Whether it was 3D-printed meat or dairy-free cheese, his rare position came with the added perks of investment opportunities, conference invites, expenses-paid work trips, and sponsored campaigns from leading brands to ensure their message was heard and crucially, understood…...

OfCom Says “Facial Scans Not Accurate Enough” – Digital ID, here we come! The UK’s much-anticipated “social media ban” isn’t even actually law yet, and it’s already proving itself an obvious front for pushing digital ID on the whole country. The so-called “social media ban for under-16s” – more accurately an “online anonymity ban” for everyone – is due to come into force in March 2027, and the build up to that happy day has already seen regulators clamouring for stricter measures. OfCom – the body empowered to enforce the ban, and other dystopian internet controls in the UK – has issued a warning that facial scans, put forward as one…...

Called it…Netanyahu alleges elections “stolen” A few days ago, in our discussion thread on the Israeli elections, I suggested that the next step of the agenda would be a “contested” electoral result and that we would witness something like “Israel’s January 6th”, with Bibi Netanyahu cast in the roll of Trump. Less than ten minutes after that post was published, Haaretz published an article headlined: Will Netanyahu Refuse to Accept the Election Results? Within twenty-four hours, that hypothetical had become a reality, when Netanyahu took to the podium to allege the elections had been stolen by “Arab parties” and…...

Let’s talk about…Israel’s Election Day It was polling day in Israel yesterday, and the world is waiting to see if Benjamin Netanyahu is going to retain his long-held position as Prime Minister of Israel or not. As of the time of writing, exit polls are putting the “anti-Netanyahu bloc” in front, but only slightly, with “no clear winner” indicated. They are supposedly counting votes even as we speak. But we know that’s not really what’s happening. Elections are largely fake, shows of “democracy” with steered – if not entirely faked – outcomes. They have been that way for years, the…...

Can We Be Anything We Want to Be? That is a rather narcissistic question to begin with, isn’t it? If we want to be something, then, according to this statement, we can be that thing, regardless of what it means to anyone else, or what it means to our own obligations to reality. The woke liberal culture would say yes: we can be anything we want to be. Anything? According to those who say we can, not quite. You cannot be a “toxic” male—or much of a male at all, especially a white one. You cannot be a racist, by their definition. You cannot think women should…...

Background Assumptions What is the explanation for the brainwashing of so many Americans when it involves the nefarious, unspeakable deeds of their government? Why are so many so easily duped time and again? Why is there such a vast ignorance of the truth behind national and international affairs? I would suggest that the answer lies not just with the specific issues themselves and the lies and propaganda used to befuddle people, but with the cultural and social background assumptions that frame their thinking. The latter serves to cut to the root of people’s belief in their own power to think freely…... Read full article ... https://off-guardian.org/2026/10/25/background-assumptions/

9/11, Judy Wood and “Directed Energy Weapons” – Part 1 The book Dr Judy Wood is a former Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Clemson University in South Carolina, her book Where Did the Towers Go? was first published in 2010. The central contention of the book is that the damage observed on 9/11 is not explicable by known methods of destruction, specifically citing what she perceives as anomalies. 1. Hurricane Erin was underreported and behaved abnormally. 2. There was unusual electro-magnetic activity in the atmosphere on the day of 9/11. 3. The destruction generated a smaller than expected seismic signal. 4. The “bathtub” – the subterranean wall built…...

WATCH: Hakeem Anwar – All Your Base Are Belong To Us? Hakeem Anwar joins Hrvoje Moric to discuss the rapid global expansion of the control grid, highlighting how governments and corporate entities are aggressively laying the infrastructure for surveillance, including the multi-billion-dollar BEAD Program for expanding satellite and fiber internet access to enforce digital ID and tracking. Furthermore, the conversation examines the troubling rise of AI-driven automation, ranging from autonomous warfare and teacher-free schools to the systematic sunsetting of copper landlines in favor of monitored networks. To counter, Hakeem emphasizes the vital importance of community, digital sovereignty, urging individuals to adopt privacy-focused technology, alternative communication devices, and cash-based barter systems…...

An Invitation to My Sentencing Hearing On Monday, October 26, I will return to the court where I was originally acquitted to be sentenced for a crime I didn’t commit. The public and press are cordially invited. Amtsgericht Tiergarten (District Court) Strafgericht (Criminal Court) Room A862, 3rd Floor Turmstraße, 10548 Berlin Monday, October 26, 10:45 a.m. I recently published a timeline of events in my case, so I won’t rehash the whole four-year saga here. The short version is, back in 2022, I published a book—a collection of my essays documenting the totalitarian actions of governments throughout the West during 2020-2021.…...

Quick Take…what’s up with the UK’s “Antisemitism Review”? Earlier today, the British government published their apparently long-awaited review into antisemitism in the education system. The purpose of the review was – allegedly – to assess the scale of antisemitism faced by Jewish pupils in British schools. The real aim seems to have been to torture definitions until they manage to create a problem of the desired scale. The report’s findings can be summed up in a headline plastered on every front page: 60% of Jewish school children have experienced antisemitism in school. The BBC calls it “shocking”. So does ITV.

WATCH: Unvandalism – #SolutionsWatch I have a mission for you, should you choose to accept it. But be forewarned: it’s not a glamorous mission and, given that it represents a real threat to the state, it might even become dangerous. But if we don’t undertake this mission, there’s little chance that we’ll be able to form the mutual aid organizations that will see us through the coming years of turbulence. Are you ready? Your mission is: unvandalism. Join James Corbett for the latest edition of #SolutionsWatch as he explains this concept and how this seemingly trivial activity can have very large consequences.

They’re Baaacck: The Rogue AIs will continue until regulation improves. Just when you thought it was safe to go back on the web – the Rogue AI agents are back, those cheeky little scamps, and getting up to their old tricks. That’s according to OpenAI, anyway, and why would they lie? It’s suddenly been a busy week or so on the AI front, with Anthropic publishing their (very, very dull) report on their supposed rogue AI “break out”. Apparently one of their agents submitted a fake homicide tip to the Philadelphia Police Department. Another submitted 20 visa applications to the department of immigration. The…...

An Alternative Perspective On Overdiagnosis of Autism There is growing pushback against the overdiagnosis of autism and its various offshoots (ADD, ADHD, etc). Before welcoming this pushback as a return to sanity, we might consider the trajectory in which it is a latest move. At the core of our great enthusiasm for autism and its like is a cohort of profoundly damaged children and young people. Beneath the contested statistical studies and quasi-medical classifications, there has continued a steady expansion of their numbers. Most likely, this is a crime. These children and young people do not present as a naturally-occurring glitch. They have suffered damage,…...

The Politics of Denial: When Americans Stop Seeing the Warning Signs “You see them on the street. You watch them on TV. You might even vote for one this fall. You think they’re people just like you. You’re wrong. Dead wrong.” They Live The spectacle of public executions. Deadly military strikes on foreign countries. Innocent civilian lives lost to war. Aggressive ICE raids. Government officials accused of using their powers to intimidate political opponents. Public office increasingly entangled with private financial interests.

WATCH: “AI-Enhanced Bird Flu Scenario Just Published” A narrative is emerging around an AI-enhanced H5 (Bird Flu) pathogen, released on American farms, that will be used to advance many agendas from the biosecurity/biosurveillance state, to locking down access to AI models, to the end of animal agriculture. A former Homeland Security official published such a scenario on the very same day she authored the policy response, and Anthropic’s recent warning that Claude was being used for gain-of-function research on H5 lends credibility. Is this the next plandemic? A very interesting video from Unshadowed, breaking down reports that “bad actors” may use AI…...

“Russian bots”, burning data centres & partitioning the internet The Ukrainian military used their surfeit of drones to destroy Yandex data centres in Russia, and as a resulting “hostile” Russian bot activity dropped to almost zero. That’s the story. There’s no evidence it’s true, of course, but since when did that make any difference? What were these alleged bots supposedly talking about? Well, that depends who you are. If you’re a Covid-era pro-vaccine nut job, they were talking about Fauci and ivermectin and vaccines harms. If you’re a Zionist, they were supporting about “free Palestine”. If you’re a…...

Andy Burnham’s Trojan Manchesterism – Part 3 In Part 1, we considered the network of political operators that have worked to ensure Andy Burnham became UK Prime Minister. In Part 2 we examined the media network that has propagandised the nation, creating a Burnham mythology to provide faux-legitimisation for his premiership in the absence of any political mandate. These UK-based political and propaganda networks are themselves representative of a much larger public-private global network. Andy Burnham has evidently been inserted into the top political job by the UK public-private network in order to digitally transform the UK at the behest…...

Russia, Satan, and the Parviscient Crowd Ten years ago I had lunch with a man who vehemently insisted that Vladimir Putin was the satanic leader of an evil country and Hilary Clinton was a great American who should be President. This was two years after the U.S. government under Barack Obama, Joseph Biden, Victoria Nuland, and the CIA had engineered a coup d’état in Ukraine as part of their proxy war against Russia, bringing Ukraine’s neo-Nazis into greater power. When Russia protested this coup on its western border, Washington mocked such concerns. Every time for decades that Russia has complained about such provocative…...

Quick Take…Masks (Still) Don’t Work Following the news that “American Covid” has stormed the beaches of the UK, the United Kingdom’s Health Security Agency has suggested people should break out the ineffective face diapers and start signalling their virtue again. If you have symptoms of a respiratory infection, such as COVID-19 […] wear a well-fitting face covering made with multiple layers or a surgical face mask Apparently the star-spangled virus is severe enough anyone with a sniffle needs to be masking up. Except masks don’t do anything. The data is and always has been clear: Between 2004 and 2016…... Read full article ... https://off-guardian.org/2026/10/10/quick-take-masks-still-dont-work/
