AFTER 25 YEARS, GOVERNMENT STILL COVERING UP FOR 9/11
It seems hard to believe that after 25 years, and all that we have discovered disproving the official story surrounding the 9/11 attack, the US government continues to stick to the official narrative, as contradictory as it is, and the mainstream media continues to repeat it at on each anniversary of that terrible day. “Remembering 9/11" events are happening all over the country yesterday and today—reinforcing the official false narrative. If Americans realized, this was the work of the dark side of the government, from the hiring of the “terrorists” to the loading of the buildings with explosives, they wouldn’t be honoring this day. The FBI is still covering for Saudi Arabia providing monetary support and living quarters for hijackers while taking flight lessons, and refuses to cooperate with Congress trying to investigate it. And CIA assets are still socializing with al Qaeda “enemies” on the terrorist watchlist and even removing them from that list—yet more evidence that terrorism is a controlled Deep State creation. When you look at the complexity of the 9/11 attack, you quickly come to the realization that no foreign terrorists could have carried out this attack—only insiders with a vast network of technical and military assets at their disposal. I will summarize the most important points to remember this week. To receive a free, one-time copy of the Brief, along with options on how to subscribe, click on Request a sample on the left.
Throughout the war, Iran has launched missiles and drones at U.S. military bases in the Middle East and Gulf, destroying “hundreds of buildings and structures” at American bases in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman, and Jordan, according to the inspector general’s report.
Dozens of U.S. aircraft were damaged or destroyed as well, it also said, including four F-15E fighter jets, one F-35 advanced fighter plane, multiple refueling aircraft, several helicopters, and others.
"This is major damage to our bases that hasn't been communicated to the American public," one deployed service member told CBS News. "We're standing there with our eyes closed getting punched in the face."
Drone attack on Mecca from unknown location being reported overnight, though the Saudi coalition has been prompted to blame Yemen's Shia Houthis:
Saudi Arabia and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation have condemned what they described as a “heinous” Houthi attack targeting Mecca.
The 1,200-kilometer pipeline was shut after an attack last week damaged the system. Wright said Saudi officials were still assessing the damage, but expected repairs to be measured in days rather than weeks.
President Donald Trump's administration is planning to sell to Israel a munitions package worth $2.8 billion, which will include tens of thousands of highly destructive 2,000-pound bombs, according to a U.S. official familiar with the sale.
The planned sale, which has been informally communicated to relevant congressional committees who weigh in on large arms sales, includes 20,000 MK 84s and 20,000 BLU-117s, the official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said.
“And then the party of my body, my choice forced citizens to wear masks and to submit to invasive and intrusive medical interventions against their own wills. The party of MeToo — remember that we were all supposed to listen to women and to believe women— they cruelly silenced the voices of tens of thousands of mothers who believed that their children had suffered vaccine injuries. The Democrats declared war on women’s sports, effectively destroying Title IX.
“Democrats condemned meritocracy openly and celebrated mediocrity. The Democratic Party became the party of elites, labeling working Americans as deplorables. Democrats cultivated deep ties with Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Ag, Big Food, Big Insurance, and the mainstream media. They embraced policies that divided Americans along racial lines. They abolished my uncle’s physical fitness test because they said that competition was bad for children.
Kennedy reflects on his family’s Democratic legacy, argues that the party has abandoned its traditional values, and criticizes its handling of COVID-era policies, constitutional rights, women’s sports, immigration and corporate influence.
He also discusses his 2024 campaign, his alliance with President Donald Trump, Charlie Kirk’s role in bringing them together, and the “Make America Healthy Again” agenda.
In his dissenting opinion, Alito said the states’ lawsuit aiming to block the rule was the kind of “Hail Mary pass” that shouldn’t stop a rule that the USPS had the power to issue.
“The plaintiff States cannot claim the timing of the rule tilts the equities in their favor when they, and courts hearing their claims, are responsible for so much of the delay,” he said.
“Not only was the Government subject to months of premature litigation and a series of injunctions that this Court later determined were likely issued without jurisdiction, the Government had to wait nearly another full month for this Court to issue its decision so holding.”
Houthis attacked a Saudi air base with missiles and drones, claiming major damage.
Houthis seized more Red Sea territory, including Perim Island near the Bab al-Mandab Strait.

Iran-Gulf diplomacy was postponed, delaying efforts to address the Strait of Hormuz crisis in what was to be a rare GCC-Iran meeting.
Saudi oil exports face ongoing disruption after a pipeline shutdown, pushing oil prices above $100/barrel.
"I've asked Zelensky not to hit the Russian refineries. Diesel is being driven up by the fact that it’s having a hard time coming out of Russia," Trump additionally stated. "That’s a case that hurts the world, and we’ve got to stop it."
The drought has transformed the man-made lake into a shrunken version of itself, with no end in sight. The falling water level threatens supplies and hydroelectric power for millions and has forced some boat ramps to close.
Saudi Arabia temporarily shut its 7 million-barrel-a-day East-West pipeline following multiple drone attacks, exposing a massive vulnerability in a critical export route used to bypass the Strait of Hormuz during more than six months of US-Iran conflict.
As of Friday, after having the day prior entered the strategic port of Mocha, it is being widely reported including in Al Jazeera that the Houthis have taken control of Yemen's entire Red Sea coastline. This gives the group, and by extension Tehran, immensely greater leverage over the Bab al-Mandab Strait and vital global energy chokepoint.
The official line is that 1,256 single adult males will be placed at the old MoD depot on the edge of the Oxfordshire hamlet. Yet the document villagers pulled out of the consultation pack talks about “accommodation for 3,510 service users.”
That is not a rounding error. In a place of 350 people and 46 children, it is a demographic wrecking ball.
CSIS estimates that the United States had about 2,300 Patriot interceptors before the conflict with Iran. The remaining inventory is estimated at between 759 and 827 missiles, or roughly one-third of the prewar stockpile.
The Patriot inventory is not the only U.S. missile stockpile under pressure. CSIS estimates that 234 to 278 Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) interceptors remain from a prewar inventory of about 452, representing approximately 52% to 62%. Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) stocks are estimated at only 10% to 22% of pre-conflict levels. Tomahawk cruise missile inventories are estimated at about two-thirds of their prewar level.

“They even blocked Gulfstream Aerospace from doing business in Canada — Completely unjust and unfair! That Era is OVER! If they want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a ‘piggybank,’” he added, while urging “buy American” and using American airlines and liquor.
A coalition of small-business owners is suing for antitrust violations and predatory pricing after the city promised to provide food staples for 30 percent off.
People who were vaccinated against measles can still contract and transmit the virus to others, and in some instances can initiate substantial chains of transmission, according to a new systematic review and meta-analysis. The study, published Aug. 14 in Expert Review of Vaccines, examined decades of evidence on measles transmission from people who had received at least one dose of a measles-containing vaccine.

President Trump just issued remarks sure to spark fierce controversy once again. Widespread reports have long documented that he was miles away from Ground Zero on that fateful day, but now he's using language as if he was a victim or barely escaped, or as if he was so close to the action and tragedy akin to a first responder. In the below he seems to confusedly switch between settings - as is often his style - going from talking about his own claimed rescue efforts with a crew of responders, to then narrating a dramatic tale of "running" from the site as it was feared a building could come down on them.
"If they haven't understood by now, they should understand before it’s too late that the rules of the game have changed and that from now on, any violation of Iran’s interests and security will receive a ‘faster, heavier, and more painful’ response,” Ghalibaf said in a post on Telegram. He has warned that Iranian retaliation will no longer be "proportionate".
