Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine.
In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted.

Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

Catherine Austin Fitts on how psychopaths are able to run the world
"people who have no empathy are really good at... organizing for self-benefit"
"[So] you have... 3 to 5% sort of psychopath[s] [at the top], [and then] 20 to 25% who are making a lot of money helping them"
"then you have the other 60 to 70% [of the population] who can't fathom what's going on. And what the others are doing, what the smaller groups are doing, drives them crazy. And they become neurotic"
This clip of Catherine Austin Fitts, a former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, investment banker, and founder of the Solari Report (@solari_the), is taken from a discussion with Alix Mayer (@alixm) posted to YouTube on June 3, 2026.

"There's a wonderful book called Political Ponerology. Have you ever read it? Okay, so, the, the description of the book is as follows. It was a psychologist who had been a young man during Hitler in Poland. And after the war then Stalin came in and he was at university and he and a group of colleagues decided, you know, because they'd been so traumatized by all this tyranny, they said, we're going to study the intersection of psychopathy with politics.
"And that's ponerology, the study of psychopathy mixed— And here's what they— And they wrote the book, he said, three times, tried to get it out from behind the Iron Curtain and then, failed, had to destroy it. And then when he finally got out after '89, he wrote it from memory.
"And here's what it said. And what he said was that most people are born with empathy and they can't fathom not only that other people don't have empathy, but that the people who have no empathy are really good at getting together and organizing for self-benefit.
"So the people with no empathy are much more effective at conspiracies than the people with empathy. Okay?
"So anyway, what he said was about 20 to 25% of the population who are competent at running things are willing to work for the people who don't have empathy as long as they get paid well.
"And if you look at the history of America, the way we've gotten here is a lot of people got paid a lot of money, whether with their stocks and bonds or whether their job helping the people who have no empathy do all the evil doing.
"I mean, you know that because if you look at what's going on in medicine, you can see it clearly.
"So what happens is you have the 3 to 5% sort of psychopathic, then you have the 20 to 25% who are making a lot of money helping them. And then you have the other 60 to 70% who can't fathom what's going on. And what the others are doing, what the smaller groups are doing drives them crazy. And they become neurotic.
"They become neurotic about the food, they become neurotic about the healthcare, they become neurotic about programmable money. And until they finally come to understand, you're dealing with psychopathic and you're dealing with people who will help the psychopaths for money.
"And what he said was once people could fathom what was going on, suddenly they started being effective."
An audience member at a Q&A recently asked me why I'm so apocalyptic. The genocide in Gaza, beyond being a tragedy, marks an irreversible shift in the global world order. Before the genocide, the imperialist ambitions of the Western oligarchic class were partially constrained by the utopian ideal of the rules-based order. Now that ideal is gone, and unrestrained barbarity will characterize the methodology of the war-making ruling class. In other words — our future is an apocalyptic one.
For the last five years, Canada has been gripped by a moral panic about the purported disappearance of indigenous children in their residential school system, initiated by the spurious discovery of apparent large scale “gravesites” in the apple orchard of the Kamloops school in BC, where radar showed 215 “anomalies” interpreted as unmarked graves of disappeared children.
Of course, no such graves existed. No remains were found. No matter. The entire Canadian establishment reoriented itself around this lie, and initiated a blood libel targeted at the Catholic Church (associated with many of these residential schools). A new federal holiday was created. Hundreds of millions were earmarked for investigations most of which found its way to the indigenous NGO apparatus. PM Trudeau flew flags at half mast for 215 hours at all Federal buildings. Canada day festivities were cancelled.
Following the “discovery”, approximately 100 Catholic Churches in Canada were vandalized, desecrated, or destroyed through arson.
The Canadian government explored criminalizing “residential school denialism” targeted at skeptics of the Kamloops mass grave finding.
Now, five years on, the Canadian establishment is finally admitting that there were no unmarked graves found by radar at Kamloops. The central atrocity that was alleged to have happened - indigenous children at residential schools murdered, disappeared, or killed through neglect, and then buried in unmarked graves and forgotten - was based on a complete misreading of radar. The children who had died at residential schools due to disease had been properly accounted for and buried in cemeteries. There was no excess of missing children.
Tens of millions were earmarked to excavate Kamloops, but excavations would have exposed the reality that there were no unmarked mass graves, so no excavations ever occurred. It’s a clever rhetorical trick. The apple orchard was a priori determined to be a “presumed gravesite” rather than an ordinary patch of land, and so it couldn’t be excavated to determine if it contained graves. Instead the public was expected to trust, without evidence, the veracity of an extraordinary claim: that the catholic church presided over the death (presumably from abuse or neglect) of hundreds of students, which they concealed by interring in unmarked and undocumented graves.
The First Nations tribes charged with the investigation have said they would keep data and findings private. The deliberate secrecy around the investigation was the point. The ambiguity allowed the blood libel against the Church and Canadian society in general to proliferate unchecked, never subject to any kind of empirical test.
Now, none of this contradicts the reality that the residential school system in Canada was designed to forcibly culturally assimilate indigenous children. That is true and Canada will continue to have to reckon with that historical fact. Children did in some cases die at these schools due to disease - remember we are talking about a system that began in the 1880s before antibiotics existed. But the extraordinary claim that was layered on top of that - that the deaths of hundreds of children were concealed by the Church - discredits the project of historical reckoning.
End of day, Canadian society was mobilised around a claim that was set up to be deliberately unfalsifiable. And dozens of churches burned as a result.
People seem to be misinterpreting why Seattle is fucked. Seattle is not fucked because they over-regulate big business or because of the “millionaire’s tax.” They’re fucked because they overregulate small and mid-sized businesses which caused a massive localized inflationary spiral that is forcing out big businesses because labor costs are too high
Seattle massively over regulated the service sector by imposing gargantuan minimum wages on restaurants and delivery apps + implementing a zillion other regulations that caused service sector costs to soar. Seattle’s housing prices are actually *declining* but their inflation rate has been 1-1.5 points higher than the national average despite reduced housing costs. This is caused mainly by food service prices rising at 7% a year due to Seattle’s minimum wage policies and excessive service sector regulations. Inflation in Seattle is now 5% and nominal wage growth is 3%, meaning real wages fell 2% in the last twelve months
High local inflation forced big companies to pay artificially high wages because highly paid corporate workers expect wages to keep up with living costs. On top of that, Seattle has a payroll tax that almost exclusively applies to huge companies. Those big companies are therefore paying insane wages to do business in Seattle, whereas if they relocated, they could pay people the same real wages relative to local cost of living and save tens of millions a year in corporate labor costs alone
But here’s the thing: Because Seattle overregulated their small and midsize businesses, those businesses are now operating on razor thin margins and are reliant on highly paid corporate workers who can pay exorbitant prices in order to stay in business. So when a corporate office relocates out of Seattle, all of the local restaurants collapse because they no longer have a customer base who can afford the prices they have to charge due to Seattle’s regulatory environment
What this means is that as corporations cut payroll in Seattle the entire city’s service sector is imploding, which has resulted in localized stagflation. Their whole labor market is quickly evaporating and now they have 5.5% unemployment, 5% inflation, and -2% real wage growth.
None of this has anything to do with the “millionaire’s tax” because the companies are leaving before the people do. Why would companies care about a tax on ultra high incomes that doesn’t impact their cost of doing business?
I’ve been banned from the UK. I tried to get on a flight to London to attend SXSW London and give a speech at Oxford. I’ve been banned for criticizing Israel. Are we free anymore? This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country!
former senior CIA officer Frank Snepp details how the CIA launders their propaganda through outlets like the New York Times: "When we wanted to circulate disinformation, we would pick out the most respected journalists and they would print it as exclusives."
@TinaKotek Do you remember championing HB 3115, a state measure that codified the standard from the landmark Martin v. City of Boise court ruling into state law? Codifying Boise v. Martin that was since then overturned by the Supreme Court but still exists as a law in Oregon?
This isn’t an apocalyptic film.
This is Tyre, South Lebanon, today.
A 5,000-year-old city.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Israel is wiping it out.
Turning one of humanity’s oldest cities into ash.
This is the destruction of civilization itself — unfolding in real time.
