FBI Reveals That Iran Hacked Trump Campaign Materials And Handed To Biden/Harris
The AP is reporting that the FBI has uncovered evidence that Iranian hackers stole materials from the Trump campaign in the Summer and provided them to what was then the Biden/Harris campaign.
The report notes that the emails were sent to “people who were associated with Biden’s campaign” in June and July when he was still the Democratic nominee.
The FBI uncovered the “unsolicited” evidence as part of its efforts to investigate election interference.
The emails “contained an excerpt taken from stolen, non-public material from former President Trump’s campaign as text in the emails,” a government statement noted.
It is not known if the Biden/Harris campaign reviewed the materials.
Hilariously, however, the Harris campaign issued a statement saying that they were “victims” of the hack. — Modernity News

Putin Accepts Foreign Ministry's Proposal to Sign Partnership Treaty With Iran: Decree
In June, Russia and Iran finalized the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty. The editorial work on the document lasted for two and a half years.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has accepted the Russian Foreign Ministry's proposal to sign the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty with Iran, according to a decree published on the official website for legal information on Wednesday.
"To accept the proposal of the Russian Foreign Ministry, agreed with the interested federal government agencies and organizations, on signing the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty between the Russian Federation and the Islamic Republic of Iran," the document said, adding that it was advisable to realize the signing of the treaty "at the highest level."
Putin authorized the Russian Foreign Ministry to make changes to the draft during the negotiations that do not alter general points, the decree said. — Sputnik
Our Take: There are so many different layers of delicious irony and happenstance, that one can't help but be encouraged by all of it.
First of all, the Kamala-Iran ties are now going to become Kamala-Russia ties, since the two nations are now officially "strategic allies."
We all know that Putin is no fan of Kamala and is obviously not helping her officially ascend the throne, and I agree with
that Iran was most likely not the actual culprit of this "hack." (sting?)With that said, the narrative value of these developments cannot be overstated. Think about it: according to the official story, Russia's now close ally just engaged in espionage at the highest levels to help the pseudo-incumbent US [Vice?]President remain in power. A total inversion of the Russia, Russia, Russia psyop.
That oughta keep the Deep State's wheels spinning for a while, as they scramble to play defense and explain why Kamala accepted help from Putin and the homies.
What makes this even more hilariously embarrassing for the Deep State is that this strategic partnership between Iran and Russia isn't exactly a shocking turn of events. As the sourced article states, this was a negotiation that has been in the works for two and a half years, and it wasn't a secret.
Here's an article talking about it from back in May, when the former Iranian Foreign Minister and President were both still alive, and another article from nearly three weeks ago reminding everybody that the finalization of the deal was imminent.
Then there's the actual geopolitical happenings, and the significance of the timing of this announcement, which I don't think is a coincidence, at all.
Israel has been bombing southern Lebanon for at least the past 24 hours—much more so than usual—as it is being widely reported that a ground invasion by the IDF is mobilizing. (Something that has been teased for months, but now actually appears to be happening—maybe.)
The real kicker here that nobody is talking about is that the Wagner Group and Russian military are both dug in alongside Hezbollah—and have been, this whole time—waiting for the attack. The IDF signaled months ago (when they began moving most of their armor north to the Lebanese border) that their intended strategy would be a blitzkrieg, and the Russians basically said, ‘Perfect. We know exactly how to defeat it—just ask Zelensky.’
I surmise that the main reason that Netanyahu has not already invaded Lebanon to take on Hezbollah is not because of Iran—whom Netanyahu has wanted to fight for 40 years, by his own public comments—but because of the presence of Russian military and the Wagner Group, who have already demonstrated their willingness [and ability] to invade and occupy a belligerent sovereign nation.
The "success" of the pager attack, at least from a narrative standpoint, seems to have emboldened the Netanyahu regime, and by Defense Minister Gallant's own words, initiated a new phase of war for the IDF. So it seems they are now both desperate enough and stupid enough to actually blitzkrieg the Russians.
What's really interesting is that CENTCOM Commander General Michael Kurilla has gone to Israel twice in the past week to remind Netanyahu and the IDF that if they initiate a ground war with Lebanon/Syria/Iran, they are on their own.
Take a listen to what [retired] Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson told Judge Andrew Napolitano on Wednesday.
Ummm... excuse me? A Combatant Commander has effectively usurped the White House, State Department and CIA and taken control of US diplomacy in the Middle East?
Because this is so important, I went ahead and trimmed the clip down to the most critical part:

Fed/Powell Unleash Chaos Across Markets With 'Not A Crisis At All' 50bps Rate-Cut
50bps cut... uber-dovish Dots... Powell pushed back... stocks end red, dollar and yields end higher.
“The US economy is in a good place and our decision today is designed to keep it there,” said Fed Chair Pay Powell during the press conference.
So a crisis-level 50bps rate-cut at record highs for stocks and home prices, just two months ahead of the election is warranted because the "economy is in a good place."
The next time the Fed meets, voters will have already cast their vote for the next president.
Powell on incorporating political factors into Fed decisions:
“We just don’t do that.”
But Kamala liked it:
"The Fed's rate decision is welcome news for Americans."
And none other than Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters of California applauded the Fed’s rate cut in a statement:
“I am pleased that the Fed has not only remained independent, but shown the importance of remaining independent as it followed the data and not politics.”
Republican Senator Kevin Cramer of North Dakota criticized the Fed’s move in a post on social media:
“The Federal Reserve claims political independence. They could have waited to move rates until after the election to confirm it. 25 basis points would’ve received minor grumblings, but the claim rings hollow with 50 basis points.”
It's a good job The Fed is "strongly independent"!!! — ZeroHedge
Our Take: The funniest part of this story is that both Democrat politicians and the Fed are applauding Wednesday’s 50bps cut as proof that the Fed is politically independent.
The economy is being held together by duct tape and popsicle sticks — judging by the widespread lived experiences of Americans — but the very smart people want you to believe that a crisis level rate cut is an indicator of economic strength.
This is hilarious, even for clown world.
My best guess is that the illegitimate powers that be can see the writing on the wall with the 2024 election, and are seeding economic disaster for Trump’s incoming administration.
As Forbes reported yesterday, history both repeats and rhymes, and it’s notable that exactly 17 years ago — to the day —the Fed made the exact same rate cut.
Did anything economically notable happen downstream from that cut in 2008?
Buy Bitcoin. And it’s also probably a good idea to get your family’s survival gear dialed in. (*Not financial advice.*)
I’m not FUDing ‘the plan,’ spreading panic or black pilling. The plan has always been self governance and individually sovereignty. As the regime finds themselves cornered, trapped, with their history of corruption and heinous crimes coming to light more and more each day, ask yourself if there are lines they won’t cross before their eventual demise.
I can’t think of any. Cornered animals are dangerous. The global enemy and their plans for mutually assured destruction are dangerous.
Stay frosty, and take custody of your own security in every essential domain.

Israel declares ‘new phase’ of war after anti-Hezbollah operation
Israel is shifting its military strength north to focus on Hezbollah, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said on Wednesday, after thousands of pagers and radios belonging to the Lebanese paramilitary group were detonated in a devastating operation widely attributed to Israeli secret services.
Speaking to troops at the Ramat David Airbase near Haifa, Gallant said that “a new phase” of Israel’s almost year-long war was beginning, focused on Hezbollah rather than Hamas.
“The center of gravity is moving north. We are diverting forces, resources, and energy toward the north,” he said, according to a statement published on social media by his office.
Hezbollah has waged a low-intensity military campaign against Israel since the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) began bombing Gaza almost a year ago. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has said that his goal is to tie up Israeli forces near the Israel-Lebanon border in order to prevent their deployment to Gaza, but Israeli officials – including Gallant – have threatened on multiple occasions to launch a major offensive into Lebanon in response.
Less than two months ago, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz announced that the Jewish state was preparing for “all out war” with Hezbollah, adding that he would “not go into detail” about the “disproportionate” strike that would open such a war. — RT
Our Take: In a statement on Wednesday, Hezbollah said it holds “the Israeli enemy fully responsible” for the pager attacks, and promised a “difficult reckoning” for Israel in response.
Have you noticed that it's never the leaders hatching these schemes on the front lines, in the vanguard, leading the attack. They are always off somewhere else, in the safety of a secluded location, hatching the next scheme.
Back in the day, what made a man a leader of men was his willingness to draw his sword and lead the vanguard— and his ability to survive the violence and deliver a victory. Such conditions required strength, courage, valor, but also discipline, discernment, and even empathy.
These new conditions of war require none of those things. Any craven with a desire to rule the world and the sociopathy to manipulate those around him— and sacrifice their lives— can ascend the throne with relative ease. It is a perfect system for evil to fester.
The kings of old could not survive without a nexus of trusted confidantes around them. Men who followed a king into battle, bled next to him, witnessed his courage, and perhaps was even saved by him, developed bonds to that leader which were greater than any legal document, treaty, or declaration.
They loved the man, because they knew he loved them.
It is a bond that we have had the privilege of witnessing and cultivating— maybe to a lesser extent— with President Trump, as we have watched him traverse the myriad forms of evil that has sought to destroy him, as he has fought, tooth and nail, to deliver us from the cravens described above; the schemers who desire power for the sake of power, and their own greatness over the prosperity of their people.
This moment in time is about so much more than a political movement, and therefore, is about so much more than a mere election. Our problems will not be miraculously solved by simply casting a vote and going about our day, because our problems have become deeply embedded in our collective zeitgeist.
A fundamental transformation of our society at the psychological level— a spiritual transcendence of sorts, if you will— is the only way to solve the problems plaguing us. It is true that President Trump personifies that transformation, and serves as its catalyst, but the impetus is ultimately on the rest of us to see it through.
Simply put, Donald Trump cannot do this alone. It will require all of our collective effort, working together— sometimes disagreeing, in earnest— to save this civilization and fulfill the promises made by forbearers 250 years ago.

China says it tailed US aircraft over Taiwan Strait
The Chinese military tailed a U.S. aircraft that flew through the politically sensitive Taiwan Strait on Tuesday, Beijing's army said, vowing to "resolutely defend national sovereignty."
"On September 17, a U.S. P-8A anti-submarine patrol aircraft flew through the Taiwan Strait," Li Xi, a senior captain and spokesperson for the Eastern Theater Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, PLA, said in a statement.
The PLA theater command "organized fighter jets to tail and stand guard against the US aircraft's flight, dealing with it in accordance with the law," Li said.
"Theater troops are on constant high alert to resolutely defend national sovereignty and security and regional peace and stability."
Beijing views self-ruled Taiwan as a renegade province and claims jurisdiction over the body of water that separates the island from the Chinese mainland.
The U.S. Navy's Seventh Fleet said in a statement that a "P-8A Poseidon transited the Taiwan Strait in international airspace on Sept. 17 (local time)."
The statement did not mention the aircraft being tailed by the Chinese military. — Voice of America News
Our Take: Theories surrounding the "Scare Event" range from the sudden breakout of World War 3 to a mass crash in the US financial system that rivals 1929.
As I've been saying for a few years, now, why can't we have both?
From a Narrative perspective, I have long believed the Scare Event is going to resemble both a Crisis Cascade and a Convergence, both of which I've written about extensively.
The capital WHY is to prompt mass population awakening, which can only occur when the Collective Mind is stretched to its logical breaking point, where it can then be overwhelmed (positively) with the catharsis inherent in seeming salvation.
This month , we've got Russia & NATO openly threatening nuclear war, Israel opening up a two-front war in the Middle East, China buzzing US aircraft (which I said would happen last week,) and the start of a Fed-engineered inflationary crack-up boom in the US financial system.
The choice to know the story, and to defect from it, has been yours.

Teamsters won’t endorse in presidential race after releasing internal polling showing most members support Trump
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters declined to endorse a presidential candidate on Wednesday after releasing internal polling that showed a majority of its members supported former President Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris.
It’s the first time in nearly three decades that the union has not endorsed a presidential candidate.
“Unfortunately, neither major candidate was able to make serious commitments to our union to ensure the interests of working people are always put before Big Business,” Teamsters President Sean O’Brien said in a statement. “We sought commitments from both Trump and Harris not to interfere in critical union campaigns or core Teamsters industries – and to honor our members’ right to strike – but were unable to secure those pledges.”
Ahead of the decision, the Teamsters shared internal data showing that a majority of members supported Trump over Harris. According to an electronic member poll that was initiated after President Joe Biden withdrew from the race, about 60% of members believed the union should endorse Trump while 34% supported Harris. About 6% said they supported another candidate.
“It’s a great honor. They’re not going to endorse the Democrats. That’s a big thing,” Trump said during a campaign stop in New York City on Wednesday. “Democrats automatically have the Teamsters. They took a vote, and I guess I was at 60% or more, and that’s a great honor.” — CNN
Our Take: The Teamster’s decision to abstain from endorsing a presidential candidate for 2024 is a devastating blow to Harris and the Democrats. It is, in fact, the ‘first time in nearly three decades that the union has not endorsed a presidential candidate.’
The Teamsters made the decision to abstain after their internal polling showed a majority of members supported President Trump. Trump took advantage of the development during his rally on Long Island Wednesday, stating:
‘Earlier today, I was honored to receive the endorsement of the rank-and-file membership of the Teamsters…we will rebuild our country with American skill.’
The abstention is essentially an endorsement for Trump, in a campaign that Democrats have been working hard to position as a labor movement.
Second to abortion, Labor is the highest priority for blue campaigns this season, but it was always going to be a hard angle to pull off given the current state of American labor, the gaming of metrics by the administration, and the failure of the current regime to deliver on the needs of workers.
Over 300 labor strikes in 2023 preempted Democrats’ inauthentic talking points about their commitment to workers, particularly since those strikes ended in short term deals (~18mo) that wholly failed to address true root causes (globalization, corporatism, corruption) or future concerns about the job market across all industries (automation, robotics, AI).
The DNCC went hard on labor earlier this year, and Labor Day was an alarming throwback to the ‘workers of the world unite’ messaging that accompanied some of the worst periods in world history.
Reportedly, Kamala met with the Teamsters on Monday, ostensibly begging them to lay astroturf for her undemocratic campaign. They refused, and Democrats are going to memory hole this story faster than a trans mass shooter that donated to Act Blue. —
Zelensky to Meet with Harris and Trump During US Visit – Bloomberg
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to meet with Democratic US presidential candidate Kamala Harris during his upcoming visit to Washington, according to Bloomberg. The meeting is scheduled for next week, where Zelensky is expected to present his victory plan to President Joe Biden.
This plan includes Ukraine's aspirations for NATO and EU membership, economic and security agreements, and requests for continued supplies of advanced weapons.
In addition to his meeting with Harris, Zelensky is also likely to meet with Republican candidate Donald Trump.
When asked about a potential meeting with Zelensky during his visit to the United States for the UN General Assembly, Trump said, "Probably yes," as reported by Reuters, though he did not provide further details.
The two last spoke by phone in July but have not met in person since Trump's presidency from 2017 to 2021.
Zelensky is scheduled to address the UN General Assembly in the United States on Sept. 25, where he plans to present his victory plan.
The plan has already been reviewed by the White House and is considered a generally viable option, according to US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield. — Kyiv Post
Our Take:
TrumpaMania, baby!
Some of you probably think my fixation on that memetic deployment is a bit silly, and you're right; it is a little silly. But you know what's even more silly?
The fact that the official story is that the CIA and NATO chose this guy serve as commander in chief of the Khazarian Mafia's homeland during perhaps the most critical moment in the history of the Khazarian Deep State, as it fights an existential battle against its ancient enemy (Russia) that could easily become World War 3.
To be frank, in order to find that video, I had to go to X and search "Zelensky plays piano with his p***s." (I'm not proud of it.)
How about this one?
(For that one, I had to search "Zelensky assless chaps." Now I'm probably going to get flood by the gay porn algorithms.)
(Editor’s Note: Ghost was probably already infected with such algorithms. Speculation, but informed speculation.)
I guess TrumpaMania doesn't seem so weird, after all, huh?
Some normies may want off of this ride, but you and I both know the truth: there is no "going back." The Donald stomped on the proverbial tube of toothpaste, and shot it clear across the room. Good luck finding it, let alone scooping it back into the tube.
has long speculated that "The Klown of Kiev" (yes, that's his TrumpaMania name) is maybe a white hat plant, and I think that actually makes a lot of sense, when you consider headlines like this one:
Or this one:
Or this one:
Or the fact that the CIA media has to dedicate bandwidth to debunking Kremlin trolling and anon memes.
I'll stop now, but only out of respect for
and his time in pasting these images into the copy. I could literally do this all night. Volodymyr Zelensky is a meme machine; an absolute treasure mine of content. If the CIA did pick him, in earnest, then they have lost all of their self-awareness, which maybe they have, since they are basically run now by ornery feminists.Can't wait until Zelensky visits Mar-a-Lago. You know I'm going to compare it to Netanyahu's visit—so ghosts, please give us some comms ;) —

Ex-Border Patrol agent says Biden-Harris admin hid spike in terrorist-tied border migrants
A former Border Patrol chief agent on Wednesday accused the Biden-Harris administration of trying to hide an increase in the number of people with ties to terrorism at California’s border with Mexico.
Aaron Heitke, who served as the chief patrol agent for U.S. Border Patrol’s San Diego sector, claimed during a House hearingWednesday that arrests of “significant interest aliens” have increased since President Joe Biden took office.
He defined “significant interest aliens” as people with ties to terrorism and accused the administration of trying to cover up a rise in arrest statistics.
“At the time, I was told I could not release any information on this increase in SIAs or mention any of the arrests,” Heitke said. “The administration was trying to convince the public there was no threat at the border.”
The number of arrests of such individuals in the San Diego sector has increased from 10-15 before 2021 to more than 100 in 2022, according to Heitke.
“Once word was out the border was far easier to cross, San Diego went to over 100 SIAs in 2022, well over that in 2023 and even more than that registered this year. These are only the ones we caught,” he said.
Heitke added that he had to let people who crossed the border illegally into local communities that could not support them. San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond, who also testified at the hearing, has criticized that action, at times pointing to the costs of transporting those immigrants. — ABC3340
FBI Informant Played Key Role In 9/11 Attacks, Newly Unsealed Evidence Shows
An FBI informant who shared his home with two of the 9/11 hijackers has been accused in civil court of being “co-opted” by Saudi Arabian intelligence to help carry out the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
That informant, Dr. Abdussattar Shaikh, was presented in the 9/11 Commission Report as “an apparently law-abiding citizen with friendly, long-standing contacts among local police and FBI personnel.” Shaikh was recruited as an informant in 1994, according to his handler.
But according to plaintiffs suing Saudi Arabia for its role in 9/11, at some point Dr. Shaikh was “hired” by Saudi intelligence agent and Omar al-Bayoumi to house the two hijackers, Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar.
“It was a plan that had been carefully and meticulously developed by Bayoumi in conjunction with other Saudi officials,” a plaintiffs’ lawyer argued at a July 31 court hearing, according to the Florida Bulldog. — Headline USA
CEOs Scale Back Hiring Plans Amid Weaker Sales Projections, Cooling Economy
America’s corporate leaders plan to pull back on hiring over the next six months and expect a slowdown in sales, according to a survey of CEOs, which comes as cooling in the jobs market has prompted the Federal Reserve to deliver a significant 50 basis-point rate cut.
The Business Roundtable’s CEO Economic Outlook Survey, released on Sept. 18, paints a picture of a softening labor market and expectations for a decline in consumer spending.
The survey’s composite index, which measures CEO expectations for capital spending, hiring, and sales over the next six months, fell five points, to 79, in the latest survey. This marks the first time that the index has dipped below its historical average of 83 this year.
The drop in the index is largely driven by reduced hiring expectations and a sharp decrease in anticipated sales, despite a slight uptick in capital investment plans.
“This is the second consecutive quarter in which CEOs have reported they are moderating their hiring plans,” Business Roundtable CEO Joshua Bolten said in a statement.
Capital-investment plans showed a slight improvement, with the subindex tracking capital expenditures rising by three points, to 73. Bolten said this signals ongoing near-term business investment in things such as equipment and technology, which drive growth and productivity.
Sales expectations took a significant hit, however, with the sales subindex falling 13 points, to 110, in the latest survey. This suggests that CEOs are increasingly concerned about moderating demand for goods and services as the economy cools.
CEOs also reported more cautious hiring plans over the next six months, with the hiring subindex falling by five points, to 55. Despite the slowdown, less than 30 percent of the surveyed executives indicated they plan to cut headcount, a figure that is not far below the historical average. In addition, 37 percent of CEOs said they expect no change in their workforce, while 34 percent expect to increase hiring. — The Epoch Times

Yesterday Icommented about how the 1/2% drop was used by stock market manipulators to push the idea that the cut was a negative and the markets dropped. My position was this was stupid because lower rates make stocks more competitive and we should be seeing a market rise. I suggested we watch to see what actually happens.
Sure enough the markets roared up yesterday. The manipulators love to encourage selling before a nice boom begins. That makes their gains more lucrative. But, that is a short term trader’s trick. Long term investors never fall for that silliness.
May I try one more time to explain my two economy belief. The FED chairman stated the economy is strong and the rate cut is justified, but other experts say the economy is weak and inflation is likely to come roaring back. I say both opinions are absolutely correct! It is because we have two different economies as I have been saying here for quite a while.
Let’s look at the two economies. First, the government economy is in trouble due to the enormous debt, high inflation, and unsustainable debt payments. So, cutting rates is necessary to save itself from itself. That economy is failing and nothing can save it…except the other economy that is booming! GOD! This is so clear to me and so few Americans see it. No one on television ever talks about it either. You are hearing it here and nowhere else, but that doesn’t make it false. All I ask is for us the just THINK! This is not rocket science, this is irrefutable logic.
OK, now to the other economy. The business economy has learned to exist no matter how stupidly the government economy acts. Inflation helps the business economy. If we must pay $5 for what we could buy for $4 three years ago, what happens to the value of an asset like Gold? But, a stock in a great company is also an asset so why would it go down in value?
Also, if costs to a company go up due to inflation the business merely increases the selling price to compensate. The consumer pays more, but the business stays in business. That is what they exist for…to continue in business. The consumer pays an inflated price using deflated dollars, so the consumer pays doubly. That is why food and other energy consuming goods inflate faster than other goods.
Here is the bottom line. The business economy is different from the government economy but it exists inside of the overall economy that include both government and business economies. This, by the way, is what caused the Treaty of 1871 to create the U.S. CORPORATION. Think about it! It makes complete sense and it why Trump bankrupted the corporation and left Biden/Harris in charge as it’s president/VP. The president of the old corporation is a useless, powerless, and corrupt nothing. The failed corporation is still floundering, and we are watching it fail along with the rest of the world.
Somehow, America needs to understand all of this before they waste a vote on a losing proposition. I need the folks here to help get the word out. I cannot do it alone, but we can do it collectively. The first step is to get you to believe I am correct. I am trying my best.
