Dude, the Comanches were ruthless warriors. They were a marginalized subsistence tribe in undesirable land in the area that is now Wyoming until the Spaniards left a bunch of horses they domesticated and used for raiding. They raided other tribes for years and expanded their dominance before fighting against US settlers. In a relatively short time, they conquered and ruled the southern Great Plains where the Bison were plentiful. They scalped, raped, mutilated, and tortured enemies. There was no quarter. Several other tribes were no more “moral”, they just couldn’t compete with the Comanches mastery of the horse - specifically, its use in battle. War and its spoils were the core of status in the tribe.
Now that doesn’t mean the US settlers were any more “moral”. All were humans capable of unspeakable atrocities. We still are. Our culture dictates the type of adult we raise.
I think some souls came to earth to show other souls not to cheat to win and help tje new earth with love & truth. Lots of play time, but fair and honest. Lastly bro, I'm not sure everything these liars teach us and show us through the Tel A Vision is true, like the Truman show.
That's so completely unprofessional to air your dirty employment laundry in public like that. Just goes to show his lack of character. These journalists act like spoiled children that are told no for the first time.
That looks like a "Yes" answer to the first question.
Now to continue -- what did they get wrong in the cited article?
The impending demise of 60 Minutes is of compelling interest to all Americans (and to the rest of the world, for that matter). Dismissing it as "dirty employment laundry" shows your bias.
I have been posting such things since you returned. Haven't you noticed?

5. The Machinery With No Face: One Billionaire, One Ex-PM, One Pipeline Into Washington
THE CLIPThis week’s Iran-pressure story does not stand alone. It sits on top of a network that is already documented.
Since 2021, Larry Ellison’s foundation has pledged or given at least £257 million to the Tony Blair Institute, which now runs AI and digital-ID projects for governments around the world. And the institute’s former Iran Program lead, Kasra Aarabi, now directs IRGC research at United Against Nuclear Iran, chaired by Jeb Bush and run by Mark Wallace.
So the network is real: an Ellison-funded, London-anchored institute, with a personnel pipeline running straight into Washington’s Iran-pressure apparatus.
THE RECORDThe City That Owns Everything and Answers to No One, the second half of the same lesson.
The City survived by replacing the visible family with the invisible function. Today that function does not run through a banking dynasty with a name. It runs through institutes, foundations, “independents,” and think tanks. Influence with no face to put on a pamphlet.
THE SEQUENCEYou were trained to look for the villain. A name. A face. A single hand to blame.
The record says stop looking for the face and start mapping the function. One billionaire’s money, one former prime minister’s institute, one analyst moving from that institute into the apparatus pressing for war. That is the machinery doing exactly what the City taught it to do: operate without a name.
Document the network. That part is solid and citable. The motive, whether this was a plot or a behavior, is the argument. Keep those two separate and nobody can knock the piece down.

6. Financial Warfare Used to Run Through London. This Week It Ran Through the Treasury.
THE CLIPThis week, Treasury kept escalating the campaign it calls Operation Economic Fury. On May 28, Bessent said more sanctions had gone on the day before, including two Iranian airlines, and described a financial blockade running alongside the Navy’s blockade of Iran’s oil terminal at Kharg Island.
This is documented, not just talk. Treasury has frozen close to half a billion dollars in regime-linked crypto and has sanctioned Iranian banks, oil-revenue networks, front companies, and foreign financial institutions. In his own words at the forum, Bessent said they “grabbed the wallets” outright.
THE RECORDThe Machine That Runs the World, the architecture of financial warfare. How freezing accounts, controlling settlement, and weaponizing the plumbing of money has been the real weapon, run for centuries through the City.
THE SEQUENCEFor two hundred years, this exact playbook (freeze the accounts, seize the assets, blockade the trade, choke the oil) was the empire’s weapon, run through London.
This week it ran out of the United States Treasury, and a sitting Treasury Secretary described doing it on camera.
Same weapon. Different hand. So which is it? The American System turning the empire’s own tool against the empire, or the same machine with a new operator, and we are cheering because this time the gun points somewhere we like?
I have my read. You will have yours. But do not let anyone tell you financial warfare is new, or that it is somebody else’s specialty. It just changed addresses.

From This Week’s Conversation: The Drug War Was Never About Drugs
THE CLIPThe Western Hemisphere campaign kept running this week, and on May 30 I sat down to talk about what is actually moving underneath it.
The record on the table: the Trump administration has designated the major cartels, including Tren de Aragua, as foreign terrorist organizations, has told Congress the United States is in an “armed conflict” with them, and has carried out dozens of military strikes on alleged drug boats across the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was taken into U.S. custody early in 2026 and moved to New York to face federal drug charges. The administration has named the hemisphere its top priority.
On May 30, I joined Rich Does Politics and Tom Luongo for a conversation that did not stop at the drugs. It followed the money. Guatemala, Colombia, Venezuela, Panama, the UAE, Turkey, Iran, gold flows, NGO money, laundering networks, free zones, and the agencies that look away. Pieces of the same octopus.
Watch the full conversation: Blood Money, with Rich Does Politics and Tom Luongo.
THE RECORD
The Empire That Never Died: How Britain Used Conflict to Build the Invisible System That Controls Your Money, and the whole City of London series.
A cartel does not survive on violence alone. It needs banking access. It needs protection. It needs corrupt agencies. It needs political cover. It needs laundering. And above all, it needs you watching the surface while the money keeps moving underneath.
The old empire did not disappear. It changed its management structure. It learned to move through banks, agencies, cartels, NGOs, free zones, intelligence networks, media narratives, and political puppets. The empire does not need to own a country openly when it controls the routes, the debt, the institutions, the ports, the banks, and the vocabulary people use to explain what is happening. That is how control survives without wearing a crown.
THE SEQUENCESo read the strikes the way you read everything else in this issue. Not as a drug story. As a money story.
Trump is not just fighting cartels at the surface. He is going after the financial legs that keep them alive. Cut the money flow, and the machine starts eating itself.
Stop chasing symptoms. Start studying architecture. The boats are the symptom. The banking access, the free zones, the laundering routes, and the agencies that protect them are the architecture. That is the conversation I had this week, and it sits directly on top of the City of London series.
What to Watch (the quiet ones that may matter more)
The parallel insurance stack. The United States is trying to build marine insurance outside London, through a government-backed reinsurance arrangement and a Treasury shipping-insurance plan. Barely covered. It is the City of London story hiding under the Iran headlines.Gold flowing east. Near record highs, with physical metal leaving London vaults. The settlement question, paper claim versus real bar, is the pressure point.
The Senate behavior. Paxton burying Cornyn on May 26 was loud and personal. The structural story is loyalty replacing policy as the test. Managed politics, at home.
"RUSSIA—GATE!
The timeline is not complicated and I am done pretending it requires any further investigation to understand what happened.
On January 10, 2017, according to a court filing by my attorney Sidney Powell, James Clapper made a phone call to Washington Post columnist David Ignatius directing him, in words to the effect of, "take the kill shot on Flynn." Two days later, Ignatius published a column disclosing the contents of my legally intercepted phone calls with Ambassador Kislyak and the machine that had been built to destroy me and my family lurched into motion.
Leaking those transcripts was a serious felony.
An egregious federal crime, committed by people with security clearances, committed against an incoming National Security Advisor, committed for the explicit purpose of kneecapping a president before he ever set foot in the Oval Office.
Here is the question that has never been asked loudly enough and I am asking it now. David Ignatius did not operate in a vacuum. He was not some lone columnist who stumbled onto a classified intercept by accident. He had cultivated sources across official Washington for decades and some of those sources were not in the outgoing Obama administration. Some were sitting inside the incoming Trump transition.
I am not naming names in this post. But I am stating plainly and for the record that there are individuals who held positions inside that transition, who maintained regular contact with Ignatius, and who have never once been placed under oath and asked what they knew, what they communicated, and when they communicated it.
The kill shot did not fire itself. Someone inside what was supposed to be our own team made sure that Ignatius had what he needed, when he needed it, to pull the trigger. Someone made certain that the investigation that followed went absolutely nowhere. Every one of them has a name, a phone record, and a paper trail. Accountability doesn’t expire.
Trust that there is a Grand Jury coming for you." Gen Flynn

Epstein Files.....
60 Minutes lost all credibility when Dan Rather presented a completely fabricated story on George Bush. That was the beginning of the demise of independent journalism.
If it makes you feel any better I think Barri Weiss is in over her head.
