Whiteboard Lesson: How Fake News Destroyed the Planet

Why every problem you can name traces back to one source.

- These people are bad. Those people are bad. That's the diversion.
- Fake news and the fact-checkers are the same people.
- Most people still think the news is real.
- If someone says the problem is anything else, they're wrong. That's the filter.

"There is one source of the problem that is destroying the planet. There's just one. It's fake news."

[Andy Ngo @MrAndyNgo]

On the morning of Aug. 28, all anarchist and far-left extremist blogs hosted by terror network NoBlogs went offline temporarily after the @StateDept sanctioned its parent group.

Some blog owners have responded to the news by urging their comrades to meet and organize in person and to avoid any future use of NoBlogs, as they are worried it could be a trap set by the U.S. Government.

NoBlogs launched in 2006 and has been used worldwide by violent Antifa, anarchist, far-left, and communist groups. Content has ranged from planned protests to instructions for arson or explosives and claims of responsibility for violent terrorist attacks.

He's not wrong.
A little over 10 years ago Jamie Dimon told Congress they had 10 years until it was a mathematical certainty we'd hit a financial brick wall.
He gave them a way to begin fixing it.
They chose to do nothing instead.

🚨🚨!!! Spygate Foia update. !!! 🚨🚨
We have known since Horowitz released his report in Dec 2019 that the FBI interviewed Danchenko in March and May of 2017 (during which interviews he provided details on how his dossier was totally uncorroborated hearsay nonsense). During that period, Danchenko was represented by attorney Mark Schamel, who succeeded in getting the FBI into eventually making Danchenko a paid CHS. It was years before his identity was uncovered, and the public was never told much regarding why he was so hidden. It is reasonable to suspect this was part of a politicized coverup.
I foia’d OIG for documentation on the March/May ‘17 interviews in April of 2021. In April of 2025, after four years, OIG “found” 14 pages and sent them to the FBI for the purpose of processing my Foia request. I kept on top of the FBI, and after some delay, they told me to expect a response this month of August 2026. They repeated this as late as August 17.
Guess what I just received?

It's estimated there is 133:1 paper-to-gold on the London Metal Exchange (LME) in the UK which creates massive systemic risk if there were a sudden demand for physical delivery.

Major Chinese banks stopped retail paper gold trading on July 24, 2026, forcing everyday investors to liquidate their holdings or take physical delivery of the metal.

The Shanghai Gold Exchange now requires physical delivery instead of paper between financial institutions, suggesting SGE is about to become a 3rd major metals trading market backed entirely by physical.

China is also building a global network of gold vaults and accelerating its central bank reserve buying as part of a plan to promote the yuan’s role in international trade.

There are increasing signs China is about to trigger some type of rebalancing in the gold market by specifically targeting the global derivatives market. If this coincides with a Japanese yen carry trade unwind, we could see a sudden liquidity shortage among financial institutions.

The global over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives market has a total notional value of $846 trillion and a gross market value of $21.8 trillion, according to reports from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS)

CASHE, ALWYN C.

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty:

Sergeant First Class Alwyn C. Cashe distinguished himself by acts of gallantry above and beyond the call of duty while serving as Platoon Sergeant with Company A, 1st Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division in Salah Ad Din Province, Iraq, on October 17th, 2005.

While on a nighttime mounted patrol near an enemy-laden village, the Bradley Fighting Vehicle which Sergeant First Class Cashe was commanding was attacked by enemy small-arms fire and an improvised explosive device, which disabled the vehicle and engulfed it in flames.

After extracting himself from the vehicle, Sergeant First Class Cashe set about extracting the driver, who was trapped in the vehicle. After opening the driver’s hatch, Sergeant First Class Cashe and a fellow soldier extracted the driver, who was engulfed in the flames.

During the course of extinguishing the flames on the driver and extracting him from the vehicle, Sergeant First Class Cashe’s fuel soaked his uniform, igniting and causing severe burns to his body. Ignoring his painful wounds, Sergeant First Class Cashe then moved to the rear of the vehicle to continue in aiding his fellow soldiers who were trapped in the troop compartment.

At this time, the enemy noted his movements and began to direct their fire on his position. When another element of the company engaged the enemy, Sergeant First Class Cashe seized the opportunity and moved into the open troop door and aided four of his soldiers in escaping the burning vehicle.

Having extracted the four soldiers, Sergeant First Class Cashe noticed two other soldiers had not been accounted for and again he entered the building to retrieve them. At this time, reinforcements arrived to further suppress the enemy and establish a Casualty Collection Point. Despite the severe second- and third-degree burns covering the majority of his body, Sergeant First Class Cashe persevered through the pain to encourage his fellow soldiers and ensure they received needed medical care.

When medical evacuation helicopters began to arrive, Sergeant First Class Cashe selflessly refused evacuation until all of the other wounded soldiers were evacuated first. Sergeant First Class Cashe’s extraordinary heroism and selflessness above and beyond the call of duty were keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.

PAYNE, THOMAS P.

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty:

Sergeant First Class Thomas P. Payne distinguished himself by conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity, above and beyond the call of duty, on October 22, 2015, during a daring nighttime hostage rescue in Kirkuk Province, Iraq, in support of Operation INHERENT RESOLVE. Sergeant Payne led a combined assault team charged with clearing one of two buildings known to house the hostages. With speed, audacity, and courage, he led his team as they quickly cleared the assigned building, liberating 38 hostages.

Upon hearing a request for additional assaulters to assist with clearing the other building, Sergeant Payne, on his own initiative, left his secured position, exposing himself to enemy fire as he bounded across the compound to the other building from which entrenched enemy forces were engaging his comrades.

Sergeant Payne climbed a ladder to the building’s roof, which was partially engulfed in flames, and engaged enemy fighters below with grenades and small arms fire. He then moved back to ground level to engage the enemy forces through a breach hole in the west side of the building.

Knowing time was running out for the hostages trapped inside the burning building, Sergeant Payne moved to the main entrance, where heavy enemy fire had thwarted previous attempts to enter. He knowingly risked his own life by bravely entering the building under intense enemy fire, enduring smoke, heat, and flames to identify the armored door imprisoning the hostages.

Upon exiting, Sergeant Payne exchanged his rifle for bolt cutters, and again entered the building, ignoring the enemy rounds impacting the walls around him as he cut the locks on a complex locking mechanism.

His courageous actions motivated the coalition assault team members to enter the breach and assist with cutting the locks. After exiting to catch his breath, he reentered the building to make the final lock cuts, freeing 37 hostages. Sergeant Payne then facilitated the evacuation of the hostages, even though ordered to evacuate the collapsing building himself, which was now structurally unsound due to the fire.

Sergeant Payne then reentered the burning building one last time to ensure everyone had been evacuated. He consciously exposed himself to enemy automatic gunfire each time he entered the building.

His extraordinary heroism and selfless actions were key to liberating 75 hostages during a contested rescue mission that resulted in 20 enemies killed in action. Sergeant First Class Payne’s gallantry under fire and uncommon valor are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, the United States Special Operations Command, and the United States Army.

His book is called Five Years to Freedom, and it's worth reading.

[Voices From Vietnam @VoicesfromNam]

Almost everyone has heard of the American POWs in the Hanoi Hilton, the pilots shot down over the North. Almost no one has heard of Nick Rowe, who spent five years not in a prison but in a bamboo cage in a swamp, and got out by his own hand. His story is one of the most incredible of the entire war.

Nick Rowe was a young Special Forces lieutenant, one of the early Green Berets, and he was captured way back in October 1963, before most Americans even knew there was a war. On a patrol deep in the Mekong Delta, his position was overrun and he and two other Americans were taken by the Viet Cong. They marched him into the U Minh Forest, a vast, flooded mangrove swamp, and there they kept him. Not in a building. In a cage made of saplings, roughly three feet by four feet by six feet, sitting in the muck of the jungle. He would be there, in cages like that, for more than five years, 1,903 days.

To survive, Rowe played a long, desperate game of deception. He knew that if the Viet Cong ever learned he was a Green Beret trained in intelligence and unconventional warfare, they would squeeze him hard or kill him. So he made up an entire false identity. He told them he was just a drafted civilian engineer, a low level nobody who built roads and bridges and knew nothing worth asking about, and he kept that lie alive under interrogation for years, inventing endless technical nonsense to explain himself. He tried to escape three separate times over those years. Three times he was hunted down in the swamp, dragged back, and punished.

Then his cover collapsed, and it came from home. Antiwar activists in the United States, trying to help, published lists of American prisoners, and Rowe's real name and real background reached his captors. The Viet Cong realized the engineer they had been holding was actually a Special Forces officer who had been lying to them for years. They sentenced him to death.

On the last day of 1968, they marched Nick Rowe out into the swamp to execute him. And then, by pure chance, a flight of American helicopters came clattering over the trees on an unrelated mission. The guards scattered for cover from the aircraft. Rowe saw his one instant, clubbed down the guard nearest him, and bolted into an open clearing, waving his arms at the sky. A door gunner on one of the helicopters looked down and saw a wild figure in black pajamas and nearly opened fire, taking him for a Viet Cong. What saved Nick Rowe's life was his beard, a thick beard no Vietnamese guerrilla would have. The crew realized he was an American, dropped down, and pulled him aboard. After five years in a cage, he flew out of that swamp a free man.

He was one of only a tiny handful of Americans, around 34 in the whole war, to escape enemy captivity. And he did not just go home and rest. Nick Rowe took everything he had learned in those cages and built it into a school. In 1981 he founded the Army's SERE course, Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape, the brutal training that teaches soldiers how to survive exactly what he had survived. To this day, American special operators learn to endure captivity from a program built by a man who lived it.

The end of his story is as unlikely as the rest. In 1989, serving as a military adviser in the Philippines, Nick Rowe was assassinated in his car by a communist hit squad on a Manila street. A man who beat five years in a jungle cage, only to be killed decades later by the same ideology, half a world away. Most people have never heard his name. They should.

[Andy Ngo @MrAndyNgo]

Read this thread. The U.S. State Department has sanctioned the Italian-based extremist online collective that provides the digital infrastructure for Antifa terror cells and far-left terrorist groups around the world. Several terrorists tied to the Autistici/Inventati network have been involved in attacks such as bombings and other terrorist activity. Portland Rose City Counter-Info uses the A/I infrastructure to organize targeted attacks and claim terror attacks, for example.

Antifa and anarchist extremists are freaking out and are furious as they will likely lose access to thousands of terror blogs used for recruitment, training and radicalization. https://t.co/eruxyD69G9

Market Report 8-26-2026: Bessent's Naughty List
Scott Bessent's announcement yesterday of Operation Economic Isolation was a statement that I do not believe Iran, their Middle Eastern partners, or London ever banked on hearing.

It was clear from the outset that they never thought the US had the stomach for the kind of total war necessary to win the conflict. This statement pertains to the ground war in Iran as well as the financial war over the Eurodollar market.

But since Iran's oil business franchise is intimately tied up in London's shadow banking franchise, these are the same war. And that real framing of the conflict couldn't be articulated during actual military operations. The idea of it is way too out-of-the-box for the normal American voter to grasp.

I know how hard it is for me, personally, to communicate even my portion of what I see in any 1) coherent and 2) digestible manner. It's easily laughed off by many commentators who either willfully or our of ignorance (not stupidity, but an actual lack of knowledge/skillset) as not applicable.

It's hard enough for people to grasp the subtleties of what's happening with NATO to see the story as having anything to do with our greatest allies north of the English Channel. It's easily brushed aside as conspiracy or lunatic.

But, our willingness to fight this thing to the bitter end is now on full display and those that have denied reality for nearly six months, who have worked so hard to deflect from this moment, rather than work with those trying to tease out the meaning, will be left speechless, rudderless, and gobsmacked when the hammer comes down on someone they never thought would be taken to task.

It explains why gold bounced, oil collapsed, and why Mark Carney had no other choice but to try and play the victim as a last ditch effort to hurt the US before the midterm elections, even though Trump never cared about them in the first place.
