Sept. 14—Sources in the U.S. intelligence community say that the NATO war party intends to use propaganda about the "climate of violence" in the country following the assassination of GOP youth organizer Charlie Kirk to cover for the possible assassination of Kirk's friend and ally, President Donald Trump.
Kirk was gunned down at an open-air debate on a Utah campus Sept. 10 by an alleged "lone assassin," Tyler Robinson, 22 years old, who fired a single shot from a hidden position on the roof of a campus building, at a distance of 200 yards, using a military-grade sight. The bullet struck Kirk in his neck as he sat on a chair while addressing a crowd of more than 3,000. Nothing has been said yet by authorities about his motives, but the NATO propaganda machine is working overtime to depict Robinson as a quiet young man who had become politically obsessed with the alleged fascist characteristics of conservative Christians like Kirk and Trump, and their violent rhetorical attacks on liberals, leftists, and transgenders. Robinson, it has been reported, had a transgender partner until recently.
Narrative Framing and Geopolitical Context
"So, the story becomes the 'fascist,' 'Nazi' Trump, with his anti-immigrant, anti-transgender, anti-liberal 'conservative' rhetoric, has stirred up a hornet's nest coming at him and his supporters from the other side," said one source, "and then we are to believe that the political assassinations are merely reflective of this climate of violence. That's the narrative, but it is not the real story."
"The decadent, post-World War II global order, and its financial system, dominated by the City of London and Wall Street, for which NATO is the thug enforcer, is collapsing," the source continued. "But now, an alternative to the unipolar order is rising: the Global Majority in the South and in Asia, supported by nuclear superpowers Russia and China. NATO opposes this development with wars, such as Netanyahu's genocide in Gaza and the attack on Iran, and most notably NATO's losing proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. Charlie Kirk got into NATO's crosshairs because he questioned and called for an end to support for Ukraine, and because he was open to discussion and dialogue with the Global South, including with Russia and China. Charlie was open to dialogue and meaningful discussion with everyone. That made him dangerous—especially since some people were grooming him to be President in the not-too-distant future."
Trump’s Policy Threats and NATO’s Alleged Response
"But even more dangerous than Charlie is his friend Trump, because as President he can make and steer policy," the source continued. "They had tried to destroy him with 'Russia Russia Russia,' but they failed. Now he is President again and has said he is going to end NATO's wars. He has threatened to take over the Fed, the financial thug of Wall Street. This keeps him in NATO's sights for elimination."
This and other sources say that when Trump decided to seek normalization of relations with Russia and even cooperation on joint projects, NATO decided to move for his elimination, by whatever means it takes. "NATO had tried to kill him during the campaign in 2024," said the source. "The full story of that July 2024 Bethel, Pennsylvania hit has not been told. But suffice to say that the kid who was gunned down was not acting alone. Trump survived because he moved his head contrary to what is normal when under fire. If he doesn't do that, he is dead. The next hit cannot fail, but it must also be covered up, as to who was behind it. There is more involved than random violence when dealing with political figures like Kirk or the President."
Networks of Assassins and Groomed Operatives
The source said that NATO and its assets in the U.S. and other countries, in collaboration with networks in our own intelligence services, maintain what amounts to a "global assassination bureau" of professional assassins, who would be used for certain "high-value" hits. But it also operates a less formal network of potential hitmen, who are targeted and groomed to carry out hits. They are usually loners who have some competence as shooters, or at least familiarity with guns. They may have had military training or are just "enthusiasts." Such people are steered—sometimes with handlers, other times through the media and internet networks—and are often, once the suggestion is accepted, given help from inside security operations intended to protect targets.
Such individuals or groups (such as gangs) are useful to carry out what has been labeled "a strategy of tension" in what appear to be dissociated acts of random violence that create tension in society, which political forces then use to create outcomes. This Strategy of Tension was used in the 1970s by the ruling powers to control the population during the collapse of the old Bretton Woods system: it involved various mass terrorist events but also included targeted political assassinations, with the NATO propaganda machine both setting these up and then covering up what was really happening.
Russian Analysis and Parallels to Trump Assassination Attempt
In seeking analysis of the Kirk assassination, the Russian news service Sputnik turned to “a veteran of Russia’s elite Alpha counterterrorism unit,” former FSB expert Lt. Col. (ret.) Andrey Popov, who confirmed the source’s assessment of how such things are run and covered up.
The Russian news service offered its readers access to views about the Charlie Kirk assassination. According to Sputnik, Popov’s view is that “the assassin wasn’t necessarily a pro and may have been an ordinary American with firearms experience groomed and manipulated into becoming a willing killer, either by partisan media or even security services.”
Popov explained the idea of “grooming,” RT reported. “U.S. security agencies are known to run an entire cohort of informal ‘agents,’ identified ahead of time, led on, controlled and given the chance to carry out their crime, after which they are liquidated or allowed to disappear (ensuring plausible deniability for powerful forces behind the scenes). Free access to military-grade firearms eases the process considerably,” Popov says.
Popov also noted that Kirk’s murder had “the same handwriting” as the 2024 failed Trump assassination. RT added: “The FSB vet suspects ‘some kind of criminal organization’ has been in control of law enforcement and domestic intelligence in the U.S. going back to the Kennedy era, organizing them in such a way as to ease political murder and protect the masterminds. The ability to freely kill politicians means control, ‘exercised in the most radical way imaginable—by eliminating people influencing public opinion in a direction that’s not favorable to this organized criminal group,’” Popov summed up.
Death Threats, Ashton-Cirillo, and the Intelligence Trail
Kirk fit the profile of such a political target, and he realized that they might come for him.
A death threat was communicated to Charlie Kirk, assassinated Sept. 10 in Utah, and his response to the threat is on record: “Are they going to murder, or try to murder Steve Bannon or Tucker Carlson, or myself? None of us are Putin puppets or Russian propagandists, but the New York Times calls us that, Twitter calls us that. And that person, who is funded by the U.S. Treasury, says: we are gonna come murder you.” That was two years ago.
“That person” is Las Vegas resident, transgender activist Sarah Ashton-Cirillo. On Sept. 13, 2023, speaking as the head of Ukraine’s Territorial Defense’s English-language outreach program, she vowed that “Russia’s war criminal propagandists will all be hunted down, and justice will be served.” Further, she intimated inside knowledge on her part, saying that a “favorite Kremlin propagandist will pay for their crimes.” Within a week, she issued a second video, explaining that the “Russian propagandists and war criminals who are spreading lies and pushing false narratives are not journalists, they are information agents and an extension of the Putin-Prigozhin effort to spread chaos and wreak havoc across the globe.” She/he was echoing the 2022 line from Kiev’s Center for Countering Disinformation, that journalists who dissent from Kiev’s narrative are “information terrorists,” to be hunted down as terrorists. Charlie Kirk had been identified by the CCD as such an information terrorist.
Then-Senator J.D. Vance, Sept. 18, 2023, wrote to several Biden administration officials, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, inquiring whether Ashton-Cirillo was being employed by the Ukrainian military and if she was being “compensated using American resources.” Kirk’s citation of “that person, who is funded by the U.S. Treasury” is based upon the investigation launched by Vance, his longtime collaborator—who had received similar treatment by the CCD.
Shortly after her 2023 controversy, Ashton-Cirillo was dismissed from her position with Ukraine’s Territorial Defense operation. She and her controllers may have had no direct connection with Kirk's assassination; however, it is a live operation that cannot be ignored. She went on to work for Kyrylo Budanov’s Military Intelligence Division (HUR), heavily involved in the operational side (wet works) of eliminating such information terrorists.
Recently, she’s been employed by Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense, and she represented them in August on Poland’s TVP World show. (She appears to have reverted to identifying as a man, judging by appearances, and seems to have dropped both the name “Sarah” and the hyphenation, calling him- or herself “Ashton Cirillo,” though this awaits confirmation.) There, two days before the Alaska summit, she warned of the danger of Trump being fooled by Putin and explained that he and the U.S. had to become aware of “Russian terrorism” and of “the evil dictated by Putin on behalf of these terrorists.”
Eliminate the Assassination Bureau
"Trump has some good people, like [FBI Director Kash] Patel and [Director of National Intelligence Tulsi] Gabbard working for him," said the source. "It were best he dispatches them to get to the bottom of the assassination of Kirk and the failed hit on him in 2024. If they put that picture together with what took place in the killing of the Kennedys, we might be able to protect him and other political figures who go against NATO’s outside narrative. In an interview just before his death in 1973, former President Lyndon Johnson was asked whether he believed that Lee Harvey Oswald was the 'lone assassin' of President John Kennedy. He answered, 'We run a God damn international assassination bureau.' It is about time that we dismantled that capability, now run by NATO."
Sept. 13—After their Aug. 24-Sept. 1 fact-finding trip to Southwest Asia Senators Chris Van Hollen of Maryland and Jeff Merkley of Oregon released a report stating that Israel is acting on a systematic plan to destroy and ethnically cleanse Palestinians from Gaza, for which they provide evidence that the U.S. is complicit. The report titled, “The Netanyahu Government Is Implementing a Plan To Ethnically Cleanse Gaza of Palestinians,” was released Sept. 11 and argues that the two senators came to the “inescapable conclusion” that the deaths of civilians in Gaza are not “collateral damage” from a war against Hamas, but rather a deliberate strategy by Israel to ethnically cleanse the local population.
The senators met with several former Israel Defense Forces soldiers, who told them in detail how they participated in the “systematic destruction of civilian infrastructure,” and gave first-hand accounts of “how this was a part of an intentional pattern of using explosives to blow up whole city blocks, houses, schools and other civilian sites.”
At a Sept. 11 press conference Senator Van Hollen described their visit to the Egyptian-Gaza border at Rafah and saw the city of 270,000 people reduced to rubble. Not allowed to enter Gaza, both senators climbed an outside fire escape from the Egyptian side of the border to see in better detail the extent of the destruction.
According to the report, humanitarian aid shipments are reduced to less than 10% of capacity due to arbitrary restrictions. Simple items such as peanut butter, honey, or dates may be suddenly banned and entire trucks turned away because they carry a single jar of peanut butter. Each truck is subject to a new $400 customs processing fee, and when a truck is forced to make a second attempt to enter Gaza without that jar of peanut butter, it must pay another $400 processing fee. Other items are banned under “dual use” [potential military and civilian use] restrictions such as water pumps, tents, wheelchairs, and spare parts for trucks.
In Egypt, the senators inspected the fleet of trucks from the United Nations which have “sustained severe damage.” The UN officials showed the senators videos of UN convoys coming under fire from the IDF, which they said was “a regular occurrence.” Also, in Egypt, the senators toured a warehouse run by the Egyptian Red Crescent and the UN World Food Program filled with humanitarian goods that had been banned by Israel.
In Israel, the senators inspected the 2,200 shipping containers of food (enough to feed the entire population of Gaza for three weeks) which sit at the Israeli port of Asdod, where they are delayed by screening requirements—each pallet must be individually screened. The senators met with the family members of several Israeli hostages held by Hamas who said that the Butcher of Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister "Bibi" Netanyahu prioritizes his own political survival over the survival of the hostages and he has blown up several peace deals which would have ended the war and released all the hostages.
At the press conference, Senator Merkley said, “The same values that made me a champion for Israel compel me to say what they are doing to the Palestinians, both in the West Bank and in Gaza, is absolutely wrong.”
Their report concludes, “The world has a moral and legal obligation to stop the ongoing ethnic cleansing. Strong words alone will not be sufficient. The world must impose penalties and costs on those carrying out this plan.”
Sept. 12—NATO has used its patsy, Poland, to stage a dangerous provocation against Russia to undermine the Trump-Putin peace process. On Sept. 10, Poland, declaring it was under the threat of attack, shot down Russian drones that had entered its airspace in a joint operation involving other NATO countries, marking the first time a member of NATO has fired shots at Russian targets in nearly three years of its proxy war against Russia in Ukraine.
Poland said that 19 drones had entered its space, and it shot down those it deemed a threat, while providing no evidence that the drones were armed or targeted against Polish assets. The Russian drones were first reported by the Poles to be part of a massive attack—over 400 drones—against Ukrainian targets, with Ukraine providing that information.
Article 4 Activated Amid Escalation Talk
In so doing, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk activated Article 4 of the NATO charter, which demanded full consultations with Poland's NATO allies. Sources report that the Poles had actually considered invoking Article 5, which would have compelled NATO allies to come to the defense of Poland, declared as "under attack"—a characterization repeatedly used by Polish spokesmen, as well as NATO's Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who urged NATO to become more directly involved in supporting NATO's losing war using Ukrainians against the Russians, and to put Russia and its enablers, like China, under new sanctions.
"We are dealing with a large-scale provocation," said Tusk. "We are ready to repel such provocations. The situation is serious, and no one doubts that we must prepare for various scenarios."
Russia Denies Incursion, Offers Consultation
Russia's RIA state news agency quoted a Russian diplomat as calling the accusations of an incursion "groundless" and saying Poland had not given any evidence that the drones shot down were of Russian origin. Instead, the Russians have urged consultation with Poland to belay any fears and answer questions of about the drones.
Instead, several European officials described the incursion as intentional and a sign of Russian escalation the Ukraine conflict.
"The fact that these drones, which posed a security threat, were shot down changes the political situation," said Tusk.
The Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces urged residents to stay at home, with three eastern regions at particular risk.
"This is an act of aggression that posed a real threat to the safety of our citizens," it said.
A NATO spokesperson said NATO chief Mark Rutte was in touch with Polish leadership and the alliance was consulting closely with Poland. A source said NATO was not treating the incident as an attack but as an intentional incursion.
EU and NATO Officials Call for Tougher Measures
"Russia's war is escalating, not ending. We must raise the cost on Moscow, strengthen support for Ukraine, and invest in Europe's defense," the European Union's top diplomat Kaja Kallas said Sept. 10. "The EU plays a major role and we will support initiatives like the Eastern Border Shield defense line," Kallas, who in the past has called for tough sanctions against Russia and greater NATO involvement, wrote in a post on X.
Regarding Western allegations that Russia had attacked Poland with drones, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov Sept. 10 said that no evidence has been provided linking the UAVs that had fallen on Poland to Russia. Russia’s Chargé d’Affaires in Warsaw, Andrey Ordash, told RIA Novosti that when he was summoned to the Polish Foreign Ministry this morning, the Polish authorities did not provide any evidence that the downed UAVs belonged to Russia. Apparently, they did not think it relevant. Ordash also noted that the drones had flown into Poland from Ukraine.
Shortly afterwards, Russia’s Ministry of Defense made clear that they targeted nothing in Poland, but that they are prepared to meet with Poland’s Ministry of Defense over any concerns. Their statement, machine-translated, says:
“Armed Forces of the Russian Federation launched a massive strike with high-precision long-range land-based, sea- and air-based weapons, as well as attack unmanned aerial vehicles on enterprises of the military-industrial complex of Ukraine in the Ivano-Frankivsk, Khmelnytskyi, Zhytomyr regions, as well as in the cities of Vinnytsia and Lviv. These enterprises of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex carried out the production and repair of armored and aviation equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the production of engines and electronic components for them, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles.
“On the southern and southwestern outskirts of the city of Lviv, the workshops of the Lviv Armored Plant, in which armored vehicles were repaired and modernized, as well as the Lviv Aircraft Plant LDARZ, where long-range unmanned aerial vehicles were produced and combat aircraft of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were repaired, were hit. The objectives of the strike have been achieved. All designated objects have been hit.
“Targets for destruction on the territory of Poland were not planned. The maximum flight range of the Russian UAVs used in the strike, which allegedly crossed the border with Poland, does not exceed 700 km. Nevertheless, we are ready to hold consultations on this topic with the Polish Ministry of Defense.”
Trump Rejects NATO Pressure, Urges Restraint
A source close to the White House said that President Trump, who had initially been alarmed by press reports claiming Russia was attacking Poland with drones, now sees clearly that this is a NATO-staged provocation, blown out of proportion in part to pressure him to go along with Europe on new sanctions for Russia. "The President does not see new sanctions as helpful," said the source, "and he has told the NATO allies to calm the fuck down—that there is no evidence that these drones were an 'attack' on Poland. When Tusk called him, he told him to talk to the Russians, who he said were showing great restraint in the face of wild, unsubstantiated claims of an attack.
"The Poles are stupidly following the same reasoning as that clown Zelenskyy," the source said. "He is constantly waving the bloody shirts of innocent women and children that are the victims of alleged Russian drone attacks which he claims deliberately target civilians. Yet, he knows that Ukrainians and other countries, including Poland, jam the Russian drones, which send them off paths to guided targets. Also, they shoot these things down and they fall everywhere and anywhere, killing people who were never targeted. Trump knows that the way to stop all the killing is to end the damn, senseless war, which is what he is trying to do."
British Officials Amplify Crisis Narrative
Meanwhile, the British are trying to play the "Russia Attacks Poland" lie for all it's worth. British Defense Secretary John Healey said he had asked the U.K. armed forces to look at “options to bolster NATO’s air defense over Poland.” He was speaking after an E5 meeting of ministers from France, Germany, the U.K., Italy, and Poland, which the Polish Defense Secretary had left early to return home due to the drone incursion. Healey said: “Today, as five nations, we say to President Putin: Your aggression only serves to strengthen the unity between our NATO nations; your aggression only serves to strengthen our determination to stand with Ukraine.”
Their efforts to pull Trump into this have clearly failed. Sources report that Trump asked for and received an American intelligence report on the alleged drone attack. The sources say that the report concluded there was no attack, that the drones were unarmed, and likely strayed off course due to Ukrainian jamming of guidance systems. American intelligence, contrary to NATO intelligence, does not believe that Poland was ever under any threat. What was not said in the intel report, but is strongly believed by the White House, is that NATO staged this incident to try to force Trump into an escalated attack on the Russians and President Vladimir Putin, including joining Europe in new sanctions.
In remarks to the press Sept. 11, Trump downplayed the incident, saying: “Could have been a mistake. Could have been a mistake. But regardless, I’m not happy about anything having to do with that whole situation. But hopefully it’s going to come to an end.”
A U.S. intelligence-connected source pointed out another important thing that no one ever talks about: "The Russians have followed certain rules in this war, which have kept it from expanding, but actually hurt the Russians," the source stated. "In any large military conflict, you always target the lines of supply that get the weapons to the soldiers you are fighting. The U.S. and NATO are the main suppliers of weapons and munitions to Ukraine. Have you ever seen the Russians target the means by which Ukraine is supplied, through the air or overland from Poland? There are bases in Poland where these supplies are brought in. They are either then flown or trucked into Ukraine. Have the Russians targeted these supply operations? No. The why for this should be obvious—because they involve NATO and American personnel who would be killed if these operations were attacked. The Russians have honored this rule. They know exactly how these operations are run, yet they do not attack them. If they cut off these supplies, Ukraine could not fight. This is a crazy war, unlike anything in history."
Sept. 11—U.S. Vice-President J.D. Vance stated Sept. 9, contrary to the reports from the BBC, Financial Times and The Telegraph, that President Trump does not view attempts to isolate Russia economically as a sustainable strategy. Rather, economic cooperation involving Moscow, Kyiv, and Washington could be the key for a stable peace in Eastern Europe.
He was asked by OAN host and former Congressman Matt Gaetz: “Do you see economic cooperation with Russia as one of the things that could bring an end to some of the hostilities that we want to see concluded?” to which Vance replied, “Absolutely, and it’s one of the carrots we’ve thrown out there.” President Trump “doesn’t see any reason why we should economically isolate Russia, except for the continuation of the conflict.” While Trump “wants the killing to stop,” he is also “very open to a whole host of economic arrangements that are beneficial to the United States of America...
“Let’s be honest, whether you like or dislike Russia, whether you agree or disagree with their underlying arguments for the conflict, the simple fact is they have a lot of oil, they’ve got a lot of gas, they’ve got a lot of mineral wealth…. [O]nce we get this peace settled, we could have a very productive economic relationship with both Russia and Ukraine…. Frankly, if we had a better relationship economically in Eastern Europe, it might actually be the best guarantee of a long-term peace.”
Sept. 11—Charles Kirk, the executive director of Turning Point USA, was assassinated today in Utah, having been cited multiple times in 2023 and 2024 by Ukraine’s infamous Center for Countering Disinformation for “spreading pro-Russian narratives in the West.” Such a designation put Kirk into the CCD’s category of an “information terrorist,” someone who should be treated as an actual terrorist. The CCD defined information terrorism as:
“A Crime against Humanity committed by means of instruments affecting the consciousness,” putting people who publicly criticize Kiev’s government on the same level of people who employ physical violence to terrorize. The CCD is a subdivision of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, part of its Office of the President. Before 2022, Kiev’s target list, maintained by the Myrotvorets gang, concentrated on Ukrainian enemies, and several of the targets were assassinated. In 2022, the CCD expanded such “information terrorists” to include targets outside of Ukraine, including Americans. Background on their operations is available at and at.
In 2023, the CCD objected specifically to Kirk’s calling for an end to the American provision of financial aid to Ukraine and criticizing the activities of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy; but they also cited as another offense, his praise of the BRICS.
The 31-year-old had played a significant in Trump's 2024 victory. He organized a network of tens of thousands of young people to deploy to battleground and other states, specifically charged with organizing people to register and to vote for Trump, including in early voting. Kirk's warriors especially targeted young people, especially those who no longer believed the popular narratives, and trolled the internet in search of the truth and new ideas. His efforts succeeded in gaining Trump a double digit increase in young voters over the 2020 election, and along with increased GOP registrations and other votes, provided Trump with his margin of victory.
Kirk preached that people need to be willing to engage in open debate with everyone about things they believed important, which he said was an American tradition. There should be no efforts to restrict or program this debate, and everyone should be allowed to question his and their own beliefs. He toured college campuses, practicing what he preached, and was doing so when he was murdered.
In May, Kirk hosted Vice-President J.D. Vance on his show.
Today he was shot and killed while fielding questions on a Utah campus. Authorities said the shooter, who had fired from a rooftop on campus some distance away, is still at large. Sources say that this appears to be a highly organzied and professional hit of the type carried out through agents of NATO's international assassination bureau which trains and deploys Ukrainian assassins. Sources believe that this NATO network ran the assassination attempt against Trump in Bethel, Pa. In July 2024; these intelligence sources say that the attempt, which nearly succeeded but for a random turn of Trump's head, was done with collaboration from NATO's supporters inside the U.S. government.
Kirk, who called for a full and open investigation of the Trump assassination attempts, was an open and bitter opponent of NATO and its Ukrainian proxies, who he argued refused to hear what the Russians or anyone else was saying, and acted like Nazis in their repression of Russian speakers in Ukraine.
Kirk was also named as a target on two other regime-tied Ukrainian hitlists. Molfar OSINT (now rebranded as Molfar Intelligence Firm) included Kirk on their list of so-called Russian “Foreign Propagandists” and “Enemies of Ukraine,” published in February, 2023. Molfar brags that a major part of its work is with and for Ukrainian military intelligence, providing target lists. When Ukraine’s pro-regime Texty Data Journalism Agency published its enemies list of 390 Americans and 76 organizations on June 6, 2024, titled “Roller Coaster: From Trumpists to Communists. The forces in the U.S. impeding aid to Ukraine and how they do it”—Kirk was again included. Again, this was because his Turning Point USA “opposes U.S. involvement in the Ukrainian conflict and advocates for an end to U.S. aid to Ukraine.”
Other Americans who have been targeted by Kiev’s multiple hitlists range from Vice President J.D. Vance and DNI Tulsi Gabbard to Sen. Rand Paul, The LaRouche Organization’s Diane Sare, a former candidate for U.S. Senate, peace activists Ray McGovern and Scott Ritter, among other such notables.
Russia’s Deputy Security Council Chairman and former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev posted Sept. 10: “Political crimes and assassinations have been carried out lately by a variety of left-wing liberal scum who support Banderite Kyiv regime]. Fico, Kirk. Who’s next? Maybe it’s time for the MAGA team to realize that by supporting Ukraine, they’re supporting murderers.” Of note, Kyiv has celebrated Stepan Bandera and his Banderite followers, Ukrainian collaborators with Hitler's Nazis in World War II. Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico, a critic of the West’s use of Ukraine in a proxy war, survived an assassination attempt in May last year, as did then-Presidential candidate Donald Trump in July 2024
by Mr. X
Sept. 11—In a situation of extreme political turbulence, such as today, when two distinct prospects stand before the world, and civilization itself hangs in the balance, it is possible to not only survive, but to prosper—but only by thinking clearly. “Extreme events,” such as those of the past five days, should not be assumed to necessarily originate from separate causes. For example, is there a larger process that subsumes a) the Israeli attempt, apparently without the knowledge of U.S. President Donald Trump, to kill the Hamas negotiators in Doha; b) the attempt to claim, without evidence, that Russia has attacked the nation of Poland with drones; and c) the attempt to introduce “civil war” chaos into American political life, through the assassination of a Trump ally, the young founder and chairman of Turning Point International, Charlie Kirk?
Executive Intelligence Review, particularly in these moments, in order to discover the truth, goes beyond “information gathering” to the realm of “intelligence,” whatever the prejudices of its audience, or the dominant “analytical institutions” may be. In cases such as current history, it is important, as American author Edgar Poe illustrated in his tale, “A Descent Into the Maelstrom,” not to drown one’s judgment in the particulars of what are erroneously called “current events.” In this particular case, it is important to investigate apparently unconnected events as the expression of underlying processes. It is understanding the manifold of those underlying processes which can provide the means to discover the truth.
Helga Zepp-LaRouche has written a statement for wide circulation, by the name: “The Nations of the Western Must Cooperate with the New World Economic Order!” It is, in reality, a peace proposal, a proposal for a new security and development architecture. It describes how last week’s multiple conferences in Asia brought into being an increasingly consolidated, new world economic reality. The world is already now oriented to the Pacific Ocean, and potentially, to the Arctic Ocean, no longer to the Atlantic and NATO.
India, Russia and China, containing 3 billion people, and a great concentration of the world’s resources, are at the fulcrum of a larger concentration (including the Koreas, Japan and Indonesia) of the world’s most skilled workforces and most advanced technologies. If the United States joins that process, and abandons war, the world’s greatest age of prosperity in its history can result. And in a different, sobering way, the Beijing military parade, the largest in human history, commemorating the victory against fascism in Asia—not accomplished by the atomic bomb, as is believed in America and Europe, but through the great suffering of the 30 million Chinese and 27 million Russians who died in the war—makes the same point, demonstrating the resolve never to capitulate to fascism again.
Against that new, happy reality, decapitation strikes (Yemen, Lebanon, Iran), color revolutions (Serbia, Serb Republic, Georgia) and sanctions, including tariffs (many nations) are being utilized by a dying empire. The British-American “special relationship” could end if Trump pursues a new relationship with Russia and China, adopting Abraham Lincoln’s policy of constructive engagement with both those nations as allies against imperialism, rather than Winston Churchill’s policy of racialist perpetual war. With that in mind, consider the following questions regarding two recent “extreme events.”
First, with respect to the Israeli illegal attack on Doha, President Trump’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt reported that the United States had called its ally Qatar, to warn that nation of an impending attack by Israel: “President Trump immediately directed special envoy Witkoff to inform the Qataris of the impending attack, which he did.” She was quickly corrected by Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani: “The attack happened at 3:46 p.m. The first call we had from an American official was at 3:56 p.m., which was 10 minutes after the attack. After that, President Trump had spoken with His Highness The Amir, and said that he condemned the attack.”
After this, Trump posted the following: “This morning, the Trump Administration was notified by the United States Military that Israel was attacking Hamas which, very unfortunately, was located in a section of Doha, the Capital of Qatar. This was a decision made by Prime Minister Netanyahu, it was not a decision made by me. Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a Sovereign Nation and close Ally of the United States, that is working very hard and bravely taking risks with us to broker Peace, does not advance Israel or America’s goals.”
Economist Jeffrey Sachs, in an interview with Judge Andrew Napolitano, commented that, like the attack on Iran, the Israelis were trying to kill the negotiators, because peace might break out. Trump was saying he did not know about something that had to be prepared over weeks—and it’s very possible that he did not know. Is that the case? Blackmail, as in the case of what Sachs described as “a Mossad agent engaged in gathering compromising materials on the American political class,” named Jeffrey Epstein, also involved Britain’s Prince Andrew, once chief weapons salesman for the Crown, and U.K. Ambassador to the United States Peter Mandelson, who told the London press yesterday that “very embarrassing” revelations are about to appear about him. There are also the Maxwells, not only Ghislaine, but her siblings, the children of the Mossad agent Robert Maxwell.
Next, consider the following EIR item:
Charles Kirk, the executive director of Turning Point USA, assassinated today in Utah, was cited multiple times in 2023 and 2024 by Ukraine’s infamous Center for Countering Disinformation for “spreading pro-Russian narratives in the West.” Such a designation put Kirk into the CCD’s category of an “information terrorist,” someone who can and should be treated as an actual terrorist. What had Kirk said to land him on the CCD list?
Commenting on a statement on Ukraine made by Marco Rubio in January, Kirk pointed out that Rubio “acknowledges that funding another war ‘as long as it takes’ is not realistic, and any end to the war must be a negotiated compromise. Otherwise, Ukraine will be destroyed from the loss of every last young man in the country. This is the way. End the war.”
In this context, recall an earlier report from BBC News, September 17, 2024: “Ukrainian officials have firmly distanced themselves from the man accused of trying to assassinate Donald Trump at the former President’s Florida golf course. Ryan Routh, 58, has repeatedly tried to recruit foreign soldiers for the Ukrainian military, but was unsuccessful.” Helga Zepp-LaRouche has also appeared on that list, along with former U.S. Senate candidate Diane Sare, who wrote in July of 2022:
“On July 14 the Ukrainian Government’s ‘Center to Counter Disinformation’ posted my name and photograph on a list of 72 individuals whom they accuse on their website of ‘promoting narratives consonant with Russian propaganda.’ While that is already an egregious assault on our Constitutional right to Freedom of Speech by a foreign power, I have since learned that on the day the Ukrainian blacklist was posted, the Center’s Director Andriy Shapolavov, speaking at an international roundtable on ‘countering disinformation’ with ‘representatives of state authorities, public organizations, mass media and international experts … supported by the U.S. State Department’ called such people as those listed, ‘information terrorists,’ and said that Ukraine is preparing legislation so that such people can be prosecuted as ‘war criminals.’ (See the Center’s website.)
“This has obvious security implications for myself and each of the individuals listed, who include former U.S. Representative Tulsi Gabbard, current U.S. Senator Rand Paul, and notably 30 of us who spoke at conferences sponsored by the Schiller Institute of Helga Zepp-LaRouche, who made the top of the list.”
We need not comment here on the “Russia Bombs Poland” story, other than to point out that Vice-President Vance indicated that once the Ukraine matter is settled, perhaps Russia and the United States will engage in expanded trade and collaboration in areas such as the Arctic. Circulation of the Zepp-LaRouche statement and daily reading of Executive Intelligence Review is the surest way to avoid manipulation in the maelstrom of current “extreme events,” and to concentrate on bring the trans-Atlantic world into a post-imperialism 21st century without war.
Sept. 11—The Butcher of Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu, under pressure from President Donald Trump to end his drive for further slaughter in Gaza and to accept a new plan from Trump to end the war and free the hostages, yesterday ordered Israeli stealth fighters to attack Hamas leaders in Doha, Qatar as they met to discuss the new Trump proposal.
The attack reportedly failed to kill the targeted top Hamas leaders and negotiators, but did kill several others, including the son of top negotiator Kahil al-Hayya. The operation, sources close to the White House report, was run without American approval or assistance and had been in planning for weeks. The U.S. had indications that an attack on Hamas leaders by Israel was imminent and had instead asked Bibi to allow the new Trump plan—presented to Hamas over the course of the last week through intermediaries—a chance to work. With Qatar at the center of the diplomatic efforts, the Israelis were told, and have been told in the past, that any attack on Hamas in Doha would potentially cripple Trump's efforts to end the war.
White House Responds to Israeli Action
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt read a statement to reporters, expressing regret that Hamas leaders were in Qatar when they were targeted by Israel:
“This morning, the Trump administration was notified by the United States military that Israel was attacking Hamas, which very unfortunately was located in a section of Doha, the capital of Qatar. Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a sovereign nation and close ally of the United States that is working very hard and bravely taking risks with us to broker peace, does not advance Israel or America’s goals.
“However, eliminating Hamas, who have profited off the misery of those living in Gaza, is a worthy goal. President Trump immediately directed special envoy Witkoff to inform the Qataris of the impending attack, which he did. The President views Qatar as a strong ally and friend of the United States and feels very badly about the location of this attack.
“President Trump wants all of the hostages in Gaza and the bodies of the dead released, and this war to end now. President Trump also spoke to Prime Minister Netanyahu after the attack. The Prime Minister told President Trump that he wants to make peace, and quickly.
“President Trump believes this unfortunate incident could serve as an opportunity for peace.
“The President also spoke to the Emir and Prime Minister of Qatar and thanked them for their support and friendship to our country. He assured them that such a thing will not happen again on their soil.”
Qatar denied that they were given advance warning, saying they were told after the attack had already begun. Meanwhile, there are reports that Trump intends to sign a defense treaty with Qatar, which would have the U.S. defend it if it comes under attack.
Netanyahu Claims Independence While Trump Pushes Ceasefire
Netanyahu spoke at the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem Sept. 9 following the attack, claiming Israel “acted wholly independently” and asserting the war could end if Palestinians accept Trump’s ceasefire “proposal,” which he said Israel supports, even though there has been no discussion of the plan in the Security Cabinet.
"The fact is, no matter what he says, Netanyahu wants the war to continue until Hamas is annihilated," said a source. "He wants to go into Gaza City, guns blazing, killing Hamas and thousands of other Gazans. Trump does not want this, but has yet to tell Bibi it is over. Trump and [Special Envoy] Steve Witkoff think they have hit on a plan that will release all the hostages at once and end the war. They thought that Hamas would agree to this, despite knowing that Bibi does not agree. But if Hamas would agree, then Trump believes he could use his leverage in Israel against Bibi to force an end to the war. Especially if he brings all the hostages, living and dead, home at once. Whether you agree or not, that's Trump's sequencing: Hamas agrees to his plan, which means they relinquish political control of Gaza forever, with a ceasefire in place, then he forces Bibi to end the war. The IDF withdraws to agreed areas, the killing stops, and America makes sure that huge amounts of aid prevent further deaths, including by starvation.
Diplomatic Fallout and Hamas Reaction
"This requires diplomacy, but it has to be founded on faith that war will not be used to settle things," the source said. "There is no way that Trump conspired with Bibi to get Hamas in one place so they could be struck. But that is what it might look like, and this will be used by the faction of Hamas that wants no deal. Bibi knows this, which is why he took the chance. He also knows that Trump needs Qatar to help Witkoff bring the deal to realization. And it looks like Trump did not protect them from what is a humiliating attack by Israel, even if it did not really hit anything in Doha except Hamas.
Trump and Steve have a lot of pulling to keep Qatar in this game."
Doha has formed a legal team to initiate legal proceedings against what they called a “rogue act.” Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Qatar’s prime minister and foreign minister, issued a statement today condemning the attack, saying Qatar “will not tolerate any violation of its sovereignty, territorial integrity, or security, stressing that the blatant Israeli attack targeting Hamas political bureau leaders during negotiations in Doha amounts to state terrorism” and said the attack “not only violated international law but also ethical and humanitarian standards, particularly as Qatar was officially hosting negotiations with US involvement and Israeli awareness.”
Arab States Rally Around Qatar
Meanwhile, other Arab states are rallying to support Qatar. The leader of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, traveled to Qatar today in a show of support. Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is scheduled to visit Sept. 11.
But this should also tell you that Netanyahu does not care about diplomacy. He has said that only force, sometimes savagely administered, can settle Israel's issues with the Palestinians. He does not care that his targets were in effect not just Hamas leaders, but also serving as diplomats. "There is some truth to the Israeli contention that these people in Doha were living the 'fat cat's' life while their people were starving and dying in Gaza," said the source. "They lived well, almost like pashas. Not all of them, but many of them. And they were supposedly out of harm's way, beyond Bibi's long arm of wrath. Not any more. That's what [IDF chief Lt. Gen. Eyal] Zamir said over the weekend: No matter where they are, Israel will take out those leaders of Hamas responsible for Oct. 7."
Trump’s Urgency and the Stakes Ahead
So, what's next? Trump has sent a message to Hamas, through backchannels and the mediators, that they should accept his plan immediately without quibbling over details that can be resolved in future talks. "He believes that the attack may make them realize that their only protection comes with agreeing to the diplomatic solution that he can enforce. So, he wants to use what happened to push the deal. The Israelis said we missed this time, but we won't miss again. Trump needs to make it clear that he did not support or greenlight what happened, but that he needs to push through a deal, if Bibi is to be controlled."
"The next 48 hours will be crucial in this process," the source concluded. "Forget about the Hamas 'fat cats' in Doha. Trump needs a deal in place to stop Bibi's slaughter of tens of thousands of innocents in Gaza City. That is what should be paramount to Hamas, whose stupidity in going for the massacre of Oct. 7 [2023] gave Bibi his excuse to launch the genocide that has killed likely 100,000 innocents, so many women and children. If Hamas quibbles now about the Trump plan, if they chirp that Hamas will never surrender, it will cost tens of thousands more lives. The Trump plan traps and cages Bibi, and ultimately gets him and his messianic lunatics like [Finance Minister Belazel] Snotrich and [National Security Minister Itamar] Ben-Gvir out of there. It is the best hope for the Palestinians. The best hope for Israel. And for all people who want the killing to stop. There really is nothing else on the table."
Sept. 8—A draft of the Trump Administration’s National Defense Strategy has reportedly landed on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s desk. According to Politico’s unnamed sources, it “places domestic and regional missions above countering adversaries such as Beijing and Moscow.” This, Politico [who is a part of the NATO propaganda machine] says, is a major shift from recent Democrat and Republican administrations, including President Donald Trump’s first term in office, when he referred to Beijing as America’s greatest rival. Furthermore, it would likely inflame China hawks in both parties who view the country’s leadership as a danger to U.S. security.
“This is going to be a major shift for the U.S. and its allies on multiple continents,” said a source, briefed on the draft document. “The old, trusted U.S. promises are being questioned.” Politico notes that the shift is already occurring, citing, among other things, the militarization of the southern border with Mexico, the deployment of National Guard troops into Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., and the deployment of naval forces into the Caribbean. It is also occurring as Trump spokesman challenge NATO's assumptions about the Russian threat to Europe, which might drag the U.S. into war that Europe creates. Trump has personally questioned the validity of the Article 5 commitment to involve NATO in the defense of any member—especially if NATO members provoke war with Russia, as has happened in Ukraine.
The new strategy would largely overturn the focus of the first Trump administration’s 2018 National Defense Strategy, which placed deterring China at the forefront of the Pentagon’s efforts, Politico goes on. The shift “doesn’t seem aligned with President Trump’s hawkish views on China at all,” said an unnamed Republican foreign policy expert briefed on the report, although Trump has never said that he sees China as a military threat but rather an economic competitor. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been at the forefront of efforts to prevent China from expanding its economic influence in the South and Central America, with Politico claims, reflects the changed policy focus.
Politico points out that the strategy also seems at odds with the views those of Deputy Secretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby, who is in charge of producing the report. Despite his long track record as a China hawk, Colby aligns with Vice President J.D. Vance on the desire to disentangle the U.S. from foreign commitments, Politico claims. Notable, also, is that Colby played a crucial role in the composition of the 2018 document. Colby has strongly supported Trump's efforts to disengage from NATO's losing proxy war with Russia in Ukraine, and improving diplomatic and other relations with Russia.
Colby’s policy team is also responsible for a forthcoming global posture review, which outlines where U.S. forces are stationed around the globe, and a theater air and missile defense review, which takes stock of U.S. and allies’ air defenses and makes recommendations for where to locate American systems. Though it has yet to come out, the global posture review is already causing tremors among NATO. Other sources say that Trump currently has a disjointed view on these matters but has nonetheless freaked NATO out by questioning its post-Soviet Union mission, saying that it needs to create enemies to oppose.
Sept. 8—Recent NATO provocations against Russia in the North Sea and Norwegian Sea serve as a stark reminder that, even as U.S.-Russian relations are improving under the direction of President Donald Trump, there still exists supporters of NATO's war policy within the Washington policy establishment that are following path that would lead to dangerous confrontations and a possible nuclear war with Russia. This grouping, controlled and coordinated with NATO and British direct military provocations against Russia, even as Trump talks cooperation for mutual benefit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
On Aug. 24, as the nuclear aircraft carrier group the USS Gerald Ford and the Royal Norwegian Navy ran patrols off the coast of Norway, NATO forces were mobilized to hunt for a Russian submarine which was supposedly tracking the carrier. The U.K.’s Royal Air Force scrambled spy planes to join NATO in what some sources called a “highly unusual surge” of activity. American, Norwegian, and French planes also participated in the search, with NATO allies deploying at least 27 specialist submarine-hunting sorties that ran along the border of Russia’s air defense zone.
In an interview Sept. 5 with Glenn Diesen, Col. Douglas Macgregor commented on the pattern of such provocations: “We’ve also got a lot of vessels carrying Tomahawk missiles … moving towards Novaya Zemlya, which is very unusual. It’s up on the Arctic. Then you also had a B2A bomber fly a route to Norway and back to the United States in the middle of all of this. And somebody said, well, this is because of the upcoming ‘Zapad 2025’ exercise that the Russians schedule years in advance…. I don’t think that’s really true. I think what we’re seeing right now is an attempt to bully by practicing strikes on Russian facilities using bombers and missile carriers, practicing for the purpose of attacking Russian submarines.”
It is important to note in this context that the standing U.S. Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) does not rule out a first strike. This was emphasized by Russian President Vladimir Putin in his news conference on Dec. 9, 2022 in Bishkek, in which he said: “The United States has a theory and even practice. They have the concept of a preventive strike in their strategy and other policy documents. We do not. Our Strategy talks about a retaliatory strike…. But if a potential adversary believes it is possible to use the preventive strike theory, while we do not, this still makes us think about the threat that such ideas in the sphere of other countries’ defense pose to us.”
Trump has followed the practice of letting these dangerous policies "roll on," as Administrations change and he has not ordered a change to this aspect of the U.S. NPR, either in his first administration, or, so far, his second. Nor has he reversed most of the Biden-era military doctrines. Without a change in the West’s commitment to geopolitics and dangerous confrontation against both Russia and China, we may, despite improvements in the diplomatic realm, find ourselves locked into a confrontation that could quickly turn nuclear.
Sept. 8—During the Q&A session following his speech at the Sept. 5 plenary session of the Vladivostok Eastern Economic Forum, Russian President Vladimir Putin raised the intention for trilateral economic cooperation between Russia, China and third countries, including the United States:
“By the way, we have already discussed possible work in a trilateral format on some of our Arctic fields with our Chinese friends. In fact, all these options are being discussed, they are on the table. We only need a political decision. This is possible, and cooperation in both gas and oil would be mutually beneficial.”
This came immediately after Putin had stated that cooperation with American companies in Alaska and the Arctic more generally was a real possibility: “We can work together in the Arctic.”
While Putin didn’t specify trilateral cooperation between the U.S., China, and Russia, his special envoy Kirill Dmitriev did raise the possibility explicitly on the eve of the Vladivostok Forum. Dmitriev told Zvezda television on Sept. 2, “Certainly, Russia is eyeing the opportunity of joint Russia-China-U.S. projects, including in the Arctic region, specifically in the energy sector also. We exactly see that projects should not be divided there into Russian-Chinese or Russian-U.S.,” he remarked. “We see joint investments are possible, including for Chinese and American investors, into joint projects, including in hydrocarbon projects in the Arctic.”
Sept. 9—The Schiller Institute released the following statement on Sept. 5, 2025 for immediate circulation internationally. It was written as a rallying call during this period of change and tumult, and individuals are encouraged to endorse it.
At the summit of the SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization) in Tianjin—representing around 42 percent of the world’s population—a new world order has emerged, independent of the West, founded on the principles of sovereignty, non-interference, mutually-beneficial economic cooperation, and peaceful collaboration. It is an event of global historical significance that China and India—the two most populous nations, already representing 35 percent of the world’s population—have now begun to cooperate closely with each other and with Russia. The countries gathered at the SCO, along with the various interconnected organizations such as the BRICS, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), ASEAN, CELAC, and the African Union (AU), collectively represent 85 percent of humanity.
The emergence of this new world order is a response to the collective West’s attempt, after the end of the Cold War, to establish a unipolar world under Anglo-American dominance—marked by endless interventionist wars, sanctions, and regime-change efforts—which has ultimately backfired completely. The nations of the Global Majority are now overcoming an era of 500 years of colonialism and asserting their right to independent economic development. This is made possible above all by China’s unprecedented rise, which offers countries of the Global South a model and the cooperation that the West denied them for centuries.
Thus, the world has reached an absolute turning point. We can either continue the geopolitical confrontation against Russia and China, risking a third—and this time final—world war, or we can choose to cooperate with this emerging new economic system. President Xi Jinping has proposed the vision of a “Community with a Shared Future for Mankind,” which he emphasized in his Sept. 3 speech commemorating the 80th anniversary of Japan’s defeat: “Humanity will either sink together, or rise together!”
It is in the fundamental self-interest of the nations of the Collective West—no longer truly united—to cooperate with the states of the Global Majority and to jointly address the great challenges facing humankind: overcoming poverty and underdevelopment, ensuring lasting world peace, and securing the right of every person on this planet to fulfill their potential.
For the realization of a shared community for the future of humanity!
Sept. 8—Financial Times headlines: “Thailand’s ‘Cannabis King’ Poised To Be Next Prime Minister.” Anutin Charnvirakul, the leader of Bhumjaithai party, reports FT , “from a family that owns a major construction company and who has been kingmaker in Thailand for the past decade, is best known for his support for the decriminalization of cannabis.”
Five prime ministers have been removed by the royalist Constitutional Court over the past 17 years, including the ousting, just last week, of former Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra after the court found her guilty of ethics violations. This is the third member of the still very popular Shinawatra family: Thaksin, who broke the royalist domination of the country’s political leadership, his wife Yingluck, and now his daughter Paetongtarn. The so-called “red shirts” ran foreign-instigated color revolutions against the family.
Anutin, whose Bhumjaithai party, or Pride of Thailand, is the third-largest in parliament, struck a deal this week with the opposition People’s Party, the largest political group, which should give him enough votes in the lower house to win. As part of that pact, Anutin has vowed to dissolve Parliament within four months and call a general election.
The People’s Party, formerly known as Move Forward, received the most votes in the 2023 election, but was blocked from power, and its leader barred from politics for a decade, because of the party’s calls to reform the royal defamation law, FT reports. While the People’s Party will vote for Anutin, it will not join the new government.
Anutin, 58, is a conservative and staunch royalist. He served as Paetongtarn’s deputy and interior minister as part of the coalition government.
