#1 – A Day Of Reckoning Is Here: The Timing And The Targets For Israel’s Attack On Iran Have Been Selected
by Michael Snyder | The Economic Collapse Blog
Can you imagine what a full-blown war between Israel and Iran would look like? We are literally on the verge of an apocalyptic war in the Middle East, but it isn’t getting much attention in the western world because everyone is so focused on the upcoming U.S. presidential election.

According to CNN, U.S. officials are saying that they expect Israel to attack Iran before the U.S. presidential election on November 5th… Read full article >

The Ukrainian President told European Union leaders during a speech in Brussels that Kyiv needed a strong deterrent against Russia.

#5 – “Hackers” and Big Business Take Down The Internet Archive and Wayback Machine
By
The Wayback Machine stores over 890 billion pieces of saved webpages, almost 100 petabytes (1,000 terabytes, TB). The data the Internet Archive has is virtually irreplaceable. Google is perhaps the only other backup of cached data, but just recently Google announced they would no longer be using their own cached archives, and it directed users to the Internet Archive – which is now in limbo.
“Have you ever felt like the Internet Archive runs on sticks and is constantly on the verge of suffering a catastrophic security breach? It just happened. See 31 million of you on HIBP!,” stated the JavaScript alert shown on the archive.org site, referencing the data breach notification site Have I Been Pwned, as reported by Bleeping Computer.

By Olivia Murray | American Thinker
When the rubber met the road and the progressive climate change warriors in Silicon Valley needed energy to power their AI and data centers, you might be surprised to learn they didn’t opt for the “renewable” energy technologies they’ve been forcing down our throats (wind turbines and solar panels), using the weight of big government, but instead went for…reliability and affordability.
Or maybe it’s not all that unexpected, considering these are the same people who fly from climate conference to climate conference in personal private jets and gorge themselves on Kobe beef while calling on us to limit ourselves to crickets and lab-grown “meat” mash. Read full article >
