WEEKLY NEWS ROUNDUP: MAHA is DOA, pro-lifers betrayed, Israel-Hamas peace pact, and US taxpayers foot the bill for Trump’s AI surveillance-state superstructure

Exactly one month after President Trump questioned the efficacy of mRNA Covid jabs, demanding he get accurate data on the results of the jabs, he announced a sweeping new deal with Pfizer to rebrand and cut the cost of many drugs while also promising the continued development of new mRNA gene-altering injections.

He announced the deal with the slimy Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla at his side inside the Oval Office of the White House. The transformation was stunning. If anyone is still uncertain of where Trump stands on Warp Speed and new mRNA jabs, they must not want to see the truth that is staring us all in the face.

This is a man, Albert Bourla, who has ended the lives of millions and ruined countless others but Trump showered him with the highest praise.

“I want to thank him, one of the great, great people, one of the great business people. Thank you, Albert. Thank you very much!”

As the boos rang out, Trump laughed and repeated “Thank you very much!”

Some are calling this a betrayal, but I never saw Trump as anything but a shyster when it came to gene-altering killer vaccines. He was always for them, but tried to say just enough to keep the undiscerning masses guessing.

He’s even positioning himself to make money on this deal, rebranding the new cheaper drugs as TrumpRX.

Wall Street soared on Friday to fresh record highs during the week, brushing aside the U.S. government shutdown and another disappointing jobs report. Why? Because investors doubled down on bets for interest rate cuts and cheered strong gains in pharmaceutical and AI-driven tech stocks. Pfizer was one of the big winners.

Pfizer pledged a $70 billion investment in U.S. drug manufacturing and will participate in TrumpRx.gov, the new government-backed drug discount platform. 

Some are now proclaiming the MAHA movement is basically dead. If not dead, it’s certainly been made a mockery by Trump standing there and proclaiming the arch-technocrat and poisoner-in-chief Albert Bourla to be a “great great person.”

A reckoning is coming, and President Trump is going to be found on the wrong side of history. Warp Speed will be seen for what it was, the launching pad for a broader mass die off and depopulation scheme that inevitably will also include World War III.

Hamas has agreed to a deal negotiated by President Donald Trump to release all of the remaining hostages in captivity from the heinous attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

The president has been trying to secure peace in the Gaza Strip after Israel responded to the attack, aided by the U.S.-based tech giant Palantir, with the stated goal of targeting and eliminating all Hamas terrorists.

On Friday the terror group said it would agree to the deal and signaled that it was ready to discuss the details, according to Reuters. If approved, Hamas will release the hostages who are alive and deliver the remains of those who have died.

Interestingly, Hamas has not agreed to lay down its arms as originally demanded by Trump and Netanyahu as a key condition of any peace deal.

On Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced his support for the latest deal negotiations.

Critics of Israel and the U.S. backing its ally have accused the nation of committing genocide and indiscriminately targeting civilians in Gaza. Supporters of Israel counter that the nation was justified in seeking to destroy Hamas after the attack on its citizens on October 7.

Whatever position you take on this matter, we can all agree that it’s highly controversial!

Assuming this deal goes forward, Trump is now positioned as the global peacemaker, the first president, in fact the first leader from any country, able to come up with a plan that is apparently acceptable to both the Palestinians and Israelis. This is monumental with all manner of potential for biblical relevance for years to come.

Whatever the case, we know that any peace in Israel will be temporary at best.

The Trump administration announced the U.S. is in a “non-international armed conflict” with Venezuelan drug cartels it has designated as terrorist organizations, it said in a notification to Congress.

CBS News, claiming to have seen the notification, reported Thursday that the administration delivered the notification after a mid-September strike on an alleged drug boat hailing from Venezuela. It was the second of three publicly disclosed U.S. attacks on boats in the southern Caribbean Sea last month. Another fourth attack was announced Thursday night.

The notice calls the three individuals killed by the Sept. 15 strike “unlawful combatants,” which is the same term President George W. Bush’s administration used to describe al-Qaeda and other terrorist networks. After the terrorist attacks on the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001, Congress authorized the use of military force against terrorist organizations responsible. 

Congress has not authorized the use of military force to target drug cartels. 

A White House official told CBS the information was part of a report to Congress required by the National Defense Authorization Act after the U.S. military conducts an attack. The specific notification concerned the strike on Sept. 15 against an alleged cartel boat.

The Trump administration has designated several drug cartels and gangs as terrorist organizations, including Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua, Mexico’s Sinaloa Cartel and El Salvador’s MS-13.

The notice reads:

“Although this strike was limited in scope, U.S. forces remain postured to carry out military operations as necessary to prevent further deaths or injury to American citizens by eliminating the threat posed by these designated terrorist organizations.”

This notification uses language like “armed conflict” not seen in a previous letter to Congress from the White House that justified the Sept. 2 strike.

Whatever way you want to slice or dice it, this “armed conflict” is just another way of saying we are at war with Venezuela, just as round two of the war between Israel and Iran is also getting ready to kick off.

This war has absolutely nothing to do with drugs and everything to do with regime change. The U.S. opposes the Maduro regime, which is in alliance with China and Iran, and that might be OK if it wasn’t for the fact that Venezuela is so rich in oil and other natural resources.

LifeSite News reports that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a new version of the abortion pill, in a stark contradiction to the Trump administration’s promises of a more critical approach to abortion drugs.

Reuters reports that the FDA approved generic mifepristone tablets, manufactured by Evita Solution and sold with the help of GenBioPro. Evita’s stated mission is to “normalize abortion” and make it “accessible to all.”

U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) said:

 “FDA had promised to do a top-to-bottom safety review of the chemical abortion drug, but instead they’ve just greenlighted new versions of it for distribution. I have lost confidence in the leadership at FDA.”

SBA Pro-Life America said:

“This drug starves babies and harms mothers! The FDA just said it would do a new serious safety study – so why approve a another generic now?” asked Live Action founder Lila Rose. “This reckless move doesn’t protect women – it empowers abusers and tramples pro-life laws across the country.”

Students for Life president Kristen Hawkins said:

“The Pro-Life Generation asked during the campaign and from day one in this new administration for one Republican President to undo the political manipulations of three Democratic Party Presidents who prioritized the business model of Chemical Abortion Pill pushers. More babies will die; More women will be harmed; and More Americans exposed to Abortion Water Pollution as a direct result of this unfathomable decision. This is a stain on the Trump Presidency and another sign that the deep state at the FDA must go.”

Many pro-lifers expressed fear during the 2024 Republican primaries about how pro-life a second Trump administration would really be, because despite the generally pro-life record of his first term, President Donald Trump made clear since 2022 he wanted the Republican Party to chart a more “moderate” position on abortion, including removing a support for a federal ban from the party platform and declaring he would not enforce a federal law prohibiting abortion pills from being dispensed by mail.

The Daily Mail reports that Russia has officially declared that a Cold War is over and a “fiery” conflict with the West is now underway.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova was asked at a briefing Friday whether the nation was in a second Cold War with the West with a new Iron Curtain being drawn, due to the sheer volume of drones deployed on Ukraine’s frontlines. 

Zakharova answered the question bluntly, saying: “I would disagree with the comparison with the Cold War. We are already in another form of conflict. 

“There has been no cold here for a long time; there is already fire here.”

It’s about time someone answered this question honestly.

I’m still waiting for someone in the U.S. federal government to answer it as well. We still have politicians who haven’t even acknowledged that the Cold War resumed, let alone advanced to the stage of a hot war. But when a Russian neighbor state is firing U.S. missiles into Russian territory using U.S. and British personnel and targeting data, that’s a hot war. Why is the U.S. government hiding this from the American people?

I’m tired of hearing that U.S.-Russian relations are at their lowest level since the Cuban Missile Crisis. What we are engaged in now with the Russians makes that 1962 crisis look like a walk in the park. No missiles were fired by either side during that crisis, and now we are seeing the U.S. fire missiles and drones at Russian oil refineries. That’s an outright act of war. And we can no longer say this is Biden’s war. It’s Trump’s war.

Yet, all the Western press wants to talk about is Russian drone sightings in European cities. They don’t talk about the almost daily strikes on Russia’s energy infrastructure.

As usual, the war-mongering media is bought and paid for by the military-industrial complex. They will continue to whip up Russia hatred and fear-monger the people into supporting World War III.

As I sit back and watch this I have to ask: Where is the peace movement in America? Is everyone on both the right and the left oblivious to what is going on internationally? Or are they too distracted by Donald Trump’s daily posts on social media threatening to send troops into another U.S. city?

Ben Bartee at Armageddon Prose reports that American parents are abandoning the biomedical plantation at jaw-dropping rates.

For the corporate media and the pharmaceutical industry that it dutifully serves, this is unthinkable and deeply disturbing. The idea that parents are no longer trusting pediatricians to inject unknown pharmaceutical cocktails into their children, in numbers never before seen in history, is terrifying.

NBC writes: “For more than a half-century, vaccines have had remarkable success eradicating the most lethal and devastating childhood infectious diseases, saving millions of lives and ushering in a relative golden era of global public health.”

But now, Bartee notes, America is dangerously backsliding.

The vast majority of counties across the United States are experiencing declining rates of childhood vaccination and have been for years, according to an NBC News data investigation, the most comprehensive analysis of vaccinations and school exemptions to date.

NBC further reports:

“This six-month investigation, done in collaboration with Stanford University, gathered massive amounts of data from state governments and archives of public records reaching back years or decades. The data focused on core childhood vaccines that, together, regard someone to be up to date on immunizations; these are the measles, mumps, rubella, polio, whooping cough and diphtheria shots.

“Since 2019, 77% of counties and jurisdictions in the U.S. have reported notable declines in childhood vaccination rates. The declines span from less than 1 percentage point to more than 40 percentage points.

“Vaccine exemptions for school children are rising nationwide: As many as 53% of counties and jurisdictions saw exemption rates more than double from their first year of collecting data to the most recent.”

Thank God parents are starting to wake up and advocate for their kids. Pray that even more of them do.

Electricity bills are skyrocketing all over the country, and water reserves are dwindling, yet Big Tech giants like OpenAI, Meta, and Amazon are thriving.

Vanessa Wingardh reports that they’ve secured billions of dollars in tax breaks while you foot the bill through higher electric rates and higher property taxes to power their AI servers.

ChatGPT’s true cost goes far beyond its $20 monthly subscription: consumers are shouldering $9.3 billion in increased electricity costs. Multi-trillion-dollar companies are receiving billions in tax breaks, consuming more than 463 million gallons of water during droughts, and signing secret sweetheart deals with city officials.

Wingardh writes: “We are subsidizing the very tech billionaires who are actively working to replace human workers.”

The Independent Sentinel reports that the Gates Foundation is the initial major stakeholder in the Global Digital ID scheme being rolled out by the World Economic Forum. Gates originally said it was a conspiracy theory.

At the World Governments Summit in Dubai, Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison proposed unifying citizen data including health records, finances, and voting history into databases to enable AI applications in public services like fraud detection and resource allocation.

Ellison said he supported body cameras for police and citizens to promote accountability through constant recording and endorsed biometric authentication over passwords.

Critics such as journalist Michael Shellenberger and activist Shaun King have condemned the plan as a step toward dystopian surveillance, citing severe privacy risks and comparisons to authoritarian Orwellian control.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced plans to introduce digital ID cards in a major speech before his countrymen.

Starmer has claimed the digital ID cards will crack down on people who want to work illegally in the country. The government has argued the scheme will combat illegal working while making it easier for people to use its services.

He claimed the UK has been too “squeamish” talking about illegal immigration in the past, as he lashed out at the divisive politics of the far-right. As he uses IDs to ward off illegal workers, he continues to let illegals pour into the UK.

The Canadian federal government is also moving forward with plans to establish a nationwide digital ID system for the general public.

Gates warned that anyone not going along with it will be left behind.

Global technocrat Sam Altman has rolled out a digital ID project in six Democrat-controlled cities across America, called World ID.

Launched in Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, and San Francisco, the program offers $40 worth of cryptocurrency to anyone willing to let their eyes be scanned.

In return, participants receive a so-called World ID that can be used to log into various online platforms like Reddit, Telegram, and Shopify.

Digital IDs are only a step in a process getting us to global citizenship, central world rule, and the end of sovereignty. In short, it’s pivotal to creating a global superstate where everyone lives in accordance with the dictates of a centralized system run by AI. For those familiar with Bible prophecy, that sounds eerily similar to what many refer to as the beast system, which at some point will be handed off to an antichrist figure bent on world domination. Don’t let this system sneak up on you. I would say it’s knocking at our very door. Are you ready?

The only escape hatch will be Jesus Christ, making Him your Lord and Savior. If you haven’t done that, don’t put it off.

The Hollywood Reporter reports that video game giant Electronic Arts has inked a major $55 billion deal to be taken private, backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, the Egon Durban-led private equity giant Silver Lake, and Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners.

Kushner is, of course, the son in-law of President Trump, married to his daughter Ivanka.

EA shareholders will receive $210 per share in cash, with the PIF also rolling over its nearly 10 percent stake.

The studio, which is behind titles like the Battlefield and Madden NFL franchises, is one of the biggest players in gaming, with CEO Andrew Wilson spending the last decade-plus transforming its business model to focus more on recurring revenue like subscriptions.

Wilson will remain CEO of the company under the new ownership.

Wilson said in a statement:

“Looking ahead, we will continue to push the boundaries of entertainment, sports, and technology, unlocking new opportunities. Together with our partners, we will create transformative experiences to inspire generations to come.”

The journal Everyday Health reports that over the past decade, the number of adults taking medication for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, has increased exponentially.

And now a new large-sample study shows that the commonly prescribed medications for ADHD are not without risk. The study, published this month in the American Journal of Psychiatry, found that individuals who take high doses of certain ADHD drugs see their likelihood of developing psychosis increase fivefold.

Psychosis is a mental health disorder in which people have difficulty distinguishing between what is real and not real. The medication can also cause mania, which is a condition characterized by unusual and over-the-top levels of activity or energy, mood, or behavior.

The lead study author, Dr. Lauren Moran, a psychiatrist and epidemiology researcher at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts, writes:

“This is a rare but serious side effect that patients, family members, and their doctors should be aware of whenever these medications are prescribed. Stimulant medications don’t have a dose limit listed on their labels, and our results show that it is clear that dose is a factor in psychosis risk and should be a chief consideration when prescribing stimulants.”

Interesting how she says it’s rare, and yet taking these doctor-prescribed stimulants make psychosis 500 times less rare than if you didn’t take them.

In fact, the study found that nearly 63 percent of those exposed to any of these ADHD medications, including the most common one, Adderall, were at risk of experiencing psychosis or mania.

The U.S. Treasury is buying back its own debt at record levels this year, and almost nobody is talking about it. This isn’t smart fiscal management — it’s a warning sign that the dollar is imploding. Nobody else in the world wants our debt anymore, so we have to buy it ourselves. What does that say about America’s standing in the world?

The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced in June it had repurchased $10 billion worth of Treasury debt, marking the largest debt buyback operation in American history.

This unprecedented action arrives at a crucial moment for U.S. fiscal policy and could signal new approaches in managing the federal government’s $37 trillion national debt load amid changing economic conditions worldwide.

  1. Well…as usual….the latest peace treaty with Hamas was immediately broken by Netanyahu’s bombing of Gaza (killing 60, wounding 160—deliberately targeting with a US missile a center for the blind run by UNRAA in central Gaza city). Israel never abides by treaties, and Netayahu has been bragging how he controls Trump (very true). Besides that, this “peace treaty” was Trump’s plan, never Netanyahu’s. Hamas atttempted to negotiate on this treaty despite the repeated assassination operations against Hamas negotiators. The policy of Netanyahu and the Likkud party is to eradicate the Palestinians from Gaza, from the entire region (hostages included). Netanyahu said this spring that he’s not interested in saving the hostages). Nor he has ever abided by any cease fire arrangements. Needless to say, Trump is not happy with Netanyahu, but too afraid of him to do what’s necessary to put Netanyahu in his place.

    Of course under the circumstances, Hamas would not give up its weapons for this “peace” treaty (actually a pacification policy). Why should it when they have the example of the Palestinian Authority of the West Bank giving up weapons, and even turn their weapons upon the Palestinians on behalf of Israel? The PA and Israeli coordinate their terror upon the West Bank residents in a shameful alliance. Why should Hamas follow suit?

    Why is Venezuela such a threat?? Not only does it have to do with Venezuela’s relationship with China and Iran, but also with Russia (whose navy ships sometimes docks there). Trump .
    and his oligarch friends can’t allow a multipolar world. Wonder how many will be killed for this.

    The Covid vaccine program just won’t quit. One thing forgotten in that covid “pandemic” a few years ago was that Trump wanted the military to force vaccination. That really alarmed me when he said that. For someone who never served in the military, he sure likes to impose it on every problem. Kind of like using a sledge hammer to swat a fly. And I haven’t heard that Fauci is getting prosecuted for anything, have you??

    We are being attacked on every front by Deep State techno-feudalists, banksters, Israel–a malign foreign proxy which strangely controls our politicians and media, and our toadying, entirely corruptible government to suppress all resistance and dissent. It’s shocking the many violations of Constitutional rights of citizens that is occurring now. Too many “conservatives” are going along with all this, thinking that Trump is a savior bringing “law and order” through violent suppression. In fact, he and his rapacious oligarch class are shaking us down and tyrannizing us through unwarranted surveillance and house invasion, shredding the Constitution and violently assaulting citizens in our cities. We are not getting “peace and safety” but something sinister, the End of America (the ideals of which we once loved) to be replaced by something monstrous and evil. Once we lose this nation and its former values, it will be centuries before our descendants will get it back, if ever.

    1. It seems that Hamas and Israel have struck a peace deal. I think we can expect a war between Israel and Iran in the very near future

  2. I’m increasingly convinced that there is an enormous mass of humans that may appear to be humanly functioning, but that are essentially totally indolent. Therefore, they may also suffer from a complete disconnect with what is going on in the world around them. It is this human mass, however, that is pushed around by globalists to achieve their neurotic goals. These humans are referred to as “sheeple” or “zombies” etc, but it may actually be the case that they are genetically predisposed to remain stunted in the development of a fully receptive and agile consciousness. It is this malleable mass of people that moves the tide between goodwill and evil. Entropy, inherent in materialism, plays an additional role to push the indolent mass towards evil. In all, we are witnessing a slow, but steady decay into human rot that many conscientious humans are duly describing and warning against, but it may be fate itself that is driving all this? An implosion or extinction of the human creature seems almost inevitable due to the synergy between the disconnected mass and the exploitation of it by a handful of wrongdoers.

  3. Leo, here is a comment that I sent today to a Christian brother in Australia :

    “Am I the only one who sees a pattern in Trump’s behavior regarding Israel and his behavior regarding Covid ? ? It is called “Controlled Opposition” = an expression not used so much these days. In his first term, Trump stated that he was against mandating the “jab”. {[ Although qualified medical doctors & health practitioners tried — repeatedly — to show him Fauci’s faulty science, he never listened to them …… But, ….. that is another story….. ]} Then, in the next administration, what Trump did NOT oppose became mandatory….. Now, the issue with Israel is bigger, more complex. However, the same “Deal of the Century” that was faulty — amounting to Israel’s surrender — “comes back to haunt us”….. becoming mandatory…..” As I have said before {[ Do I sound like a broken record ? ? ]}, the “Global Soap Opera” goes wayyyyyyyyy back, and has been planned / timed / scripted. President Trump is a businessman. I remember when Jimmy Durante used to sing : “There’s no business like show business….” By the way, PM Netanyahu mandated the Covid “jab”, plus masking, etc. I put on a home-made mask right outside the door of the store, and took it off upon exiting. In spite of scary text messages from my local health clinic, I never got the shot and never got tested….. and never got sick !! Take care…..

  4. my personal research showed that all insulin is now made with mRNA technology as are cancer and other disease medications even though it is proven to actually cause cancer. An article said they want to put mRNA technology into inhalents if they haven’t already. I would certainly guestion any injectables including hospital injectable pain meds. My diabetes doctor tried to convince me that mRNA is perfectly safe. Sorry, I have read dozens and dozens of articles by different sources and know otherwise. Big pharma appears to be completely corrupt undoubtedly on behalf of politicians heavily invested in them.
