+ Christopher Bollyn & James Corbett - Israeli Involvement & The Missing TRILLIONS
Dear Subscribers,
Up until January of 2001, I worked in the World Trade Center complex running a gladiator academy of commission-driven mercenaries selling networks to Wall Street for market data and trading floor technology. My office was in 3 World Financial (The American Express Building) and our corporate parent was in 2 World Trade so I was going in and out of the trade centers on a regular basis.
I am probably one of the few people you will ever meet that has actually been in WTC 7 – the 49 story, modern steel framed skyscraper that collapsed completely and symmetrically into it’s own footprint at free fall speed, defying the laws of physics and displaying all the hallmarks of a controlled demolition: visible squibs, auditory explosion, symmetrical collapse, and video-taped foreknowledge of the collapse with workers leaving the area announcing it would be coming down before it came down.
I didn’t understand at the time that it was the largest CIA station in the world outside of Langley, Virginia or they had just built the New York Emergency Management Center’s operations center on the 23rd floor with bomb-proof windows overlooking the whole WTC complex, its own air supply and military-grade communications a year before 9-11 where many would come to speculate that it was the intelligence agencies control center for the attack. All I knew was that it was a pain in the ass to get into with stricter security than any other building in the complex.
The building would become the world’s best example of the CIA’s “Mockingbird Media” program when the BBC, CNN, and Fox News all began reporting that the building had fallen and explaining why 20 minutes before the building actually collapsed. In the case of the BBC’s reporter Jane Standley, she is doing a live shot from New York with the building still standing visibly behind her as she explains how and why the building collapsed. We can only speculate how many people would “Mockingbird” what she said and explain to their friends how and why WTC 7 fell.
Screenshot of the BBC’s Jane Standley explaining how and why WTC 7 collapsed with WTC 7 still visible in the skyline behind her. Click HERE or video below to see the full video
I can understand how people fell for 9-11; hell, I fell for it for a month and ½.
The population is up against a trillion-dollar “control-of-perception” program that controls (almost!) every screen, major newspaper, radio network and news source on the planet.
I thought for sure it was blowback from our meddling in the affairs of others. It wasn’t until the pictures of the Pentagon began circulating without any visible plane wreckage that I began to have doubts. By the time I saw the footage of WTC 7 collapsing in what is obviously a controlled demolition, I knew we were being lied to, and the whole thing was a scam.
Now there has been so much evidence that has come out: over a dozen documentaries, dozens of books, hundreds of videos, thousands of architects and engineers blowing the whistle- that there is simply no excuse not to understand the basics and doubt the absolutely, positively ridiculous “official story.” Especially if you work for the military or federal law enforcement, which makes them all morally and intellectually suspect for either going along with the “government” that did it or being too stupid or intellectually dishonest to figure it out.
I know there is a younger generation that wasn’t alive or paying attention at the time, so I have put together a collection of the best documentaries, short videos, books and evidence so that even the kids can understand the basics. If your kids and grandkids don’t understand that the organized crime “government” was behind 9/11 and the monopoly media and social media companies covered it up and continue to hide the truth to this day, then they aren’t even in the game intellectually.
They simply don’t have the basic information to begin to understand the reality of their situation.
I recommend starting with my article: The False Flag Attack of 9-11 - Executive Summary for your Kids, Grandkids, Nieces and Nephews. There is a documentary in the article that I will reproduce here: 9-11 Anatomy of a Great Deception, which is my favorite: #1 because the director’s story parallels mine, and #2 because it is the best documentary to break down the role of the monopoly media in covering it up.
If you already know the basics, then I am including a 2 hour presentation by Christopher Bollyn on the case for Israeli involvement. If you already know everything, then I am including an update by James Corbett: The Incredible TRUE Story of the Pentagon’s Missing Trillions
I have a New Book Coming Out - Organized Crime Theory (OCT) – The Surprisingly Scholarly and Well-Evidenced Thesis that “Government” is Organized Crime.
What started out as a chapter in our upcoming book: Voluntaryism – How the Only “ISM” Fair for Everyone Leads to Harmony, Prosperity and Good Karma for All, turned into a book-length treatment. Unlike “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed!, which made the case BUT did so with speculation in a format that was easy to dismiss, Organized Crime Theory (OCT) makes the case in a scholarly way designed to give any college political science professor or high school civics teacher promoting “government” an intellectual curb-stomping!
We could use some help getting the book out and I am happy to share a preview copy with any heavy hitters that could help us with the initial print run and marketing campaign. E-mail me atEtienne (at) ArtOfLiberty.org if you are interested.
I’ll also send a preview copy to anyone who joins as a Sponsor ($125), Sustaining Member ($500), Patron ($1000), Benefactor ($5000) or President’s Club ($25,000) in addition to the other amazing perks we have to say THANK YOU!

“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”
- Voltaire
I have described 9-11 to my kids as a kind of national intelligence test. You either understand the basics of logic, science, physics and history or don’t.
You either believe a completely implausible story that violates the laws of physics and doesn’t make any sense, OR you don’t.
Christopher Bollyn: Solving 911 - Documenting Israel’s Role
Christopher Bollyn was a journalist for the American Free Press. He is the author of ‘Solving 9/11: the Deception that Changed the World’ and ‘The War on Terror: the Plot to Rule the Middle East.’ He treated 9/11 like a crime scene and investigated who perpetrated 9/11 and the motive for the attacks. He says the purpose of the 9/11 attack was to justify the American War on Terror, which was a cover for using American forces to attack Israel’s enemies and make Israel the dominant force in the Middle East.
Bollyn said that everywhere he looked into the facts surrounding 9/11, he found the presence of Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency and Zionists – specifically Likud Zionists that are a small, but dominant group of Zionists. This has triggered a bitter attack against him, claiming he is anti-Semitic.
His response is that these people are not acting as Jews but as political Zionists, which has nothing to do with race, ethnicity, or religion but everything to do with a New World Order based on the model of collectivism.
In 2006, Bollyn was attacked at his home in Illinois, by a heavily-armed three-man team of undercover police that had been prowling around his house for several days in a row. The result of the police assault on Bollyn was that he was falsely charged with assault and resisting arrest. He believed that police arrested him and shot him with a stun gun because of his views that Israeli agents were involved in the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center. He faced protests when giving presentations and reportedly moved to Europe.

Etienne Breaks Down the Scam of “Government” in Less Than 45 Minutes on Palm & Pine Podcast
Great Overview of the Situation for Your Friends and Family
I was a guest on the Palm & Pine Podcast and did a great soup-to-nuts overview of both the scam (illegitimacy & criminality) of “government” and how the monopoly media is censoring that information from the public. I covered what money is, how the banks and “government” are stealing the value out of everyone’s purchasing power through inflation, and how you can fight back. I illustrated the transcript below with images, memes and visualizations!
Introduction
Hello there, and welcome to the Palm and Pine Podcast. The boys are coming to you from their hidden camp, set deep in the Florida woods on the banks of the mystic Suwannee River. So let’s take a moment and hear from the boys of old Florida.
LG smart TVs caught logging audio with screen off and snooping on local devices
By Anubhav Sharma, Notebookcheck
An investigation by Gamers Nexus found LG smart TVs sweep local networks to map phones and nearby devices. Tests also showed the sets can capture microphone audio with the screen off — they then upload data once reconnected to the internet.
LG smart TVs continuously sweep home networks, map secondary devices, and log microphone audio while appearing to be turned off, according to a new 135-minute-long video published by Gamers Nexus (see below).
In more detail, Steve had been working with Level1Techs and independent security researchers. Together, they tested retail LG OLED models including the G5. Network packet captures taken through Wireshark showed the TVs actively scanning the local area network for unrelated hardware, including phones and smartwatches. Apart from internal IP addresses, the sets also gathered the names and signal strengths of neighboring Wi-Fi networks along with location data.
The Big Health Benefits of a Short Break Away from Your Desk
By Joseph Mercola, Mercola
Adults in high-income countries now spend about 11 to 12 hours every day sitting — more than three-quarters of their waking life.1 You might assume a daily workout makes up for all that sitting. It doesn’t. Long, uninterrupted stretches in a chair reduce muscle activity, slow blood flow, and interfere with the normal processes that help regulate blood sugar and fat metabolism. Over time, that pattern is linked to a higher risk of chronic disease, poorer mental health, and earlier death.
The latest research shows, however, that a small intervention can start reversing that damage, with benefits showing up quickly. Researchers recently tested several movement schedules in a real-world setting, not a lab, to see which one people would actually stick with.
The results point to a specific pattern that’s easy to build into an ordinary workday, no gym or extra hours required. Let’s explore exactly what happened when thousands of people put this simple habit into practice and why the results point to one of the easiest health upgrades you can make.

Gloria Steinem, who founded the feminist movement and did more to destroy the traditional American family while conveniently creating two taxpayers instead of one, died this week at the age of 92 in New York City.
Most people don’t realize that she was an admitted CIA agent who took money from the CIA’s International Organizations Division, run by Cord Meyer. Its whole function was manufacturing “independent” civil-society vehicles funded through pass-through foundations so the money appeared to be private.

FBI Knows Jan. 5 DC Pipe Bomber Was a Cop – They Have Cell Data
By Jimmy Dore and Kyle Seraphin, Need To Know
Steve Baker, the investigative reporter who presented compelling evidence that a Capitol Police officer planted dud pipe bombs on the RNC and DNC premisses, explains that the FBI knew that a law enforcement officer was in those areas during the 45-minute timeline that the bombs were planted. He said that a special phone number tied to the FirstNet network that gives priority to emergency officials pinged twice new the bomb drops.
It was previously reported that Shauni Kerkhoff, a white female former Capitol Police officer who went on to work for the CIA, was suspected in the January 5 pipe bomb scare that led to events at the Capitol on January 6.

REVEALED: CDC Paid 2,000 Influencers To Promote Vaccines “Using Their Own Voices.”
Taxpayer-funded vaccine promoters included Love Island winners
Etienne Note: This is part of what we call the “Brute Force Manufactured Consensus,” where organized crime “government” is tricking people by “painting the tape” and making it look like everyone supported the “vaccine,” while further algorithmically amplifying these voices on organized crime’s monopoly social media platforms, while simultaneously shadow banning, deindexing, demonetizing, and algorithmically censoring truth tellers. Same dynamic on their monopoly media platforms as well. They can even trick the population into thinking that “government” is legitimate, desirable and necessary using the same tricks while simultaneously product-placing the American flag into 1000+ movies and 1000+ TV shows at moments of high positive emotion to give you a warm and fuzzy feeling for the system that is going to steal $1.40 million from the typical American in inflation, confiscatory taxation and Social Security underpayment.
By Natalie Winters, Natalie Winters
An $80 million CDC award supported a sprawling vaccine-messaging network involving social-media influencers, community “trusted messengers” and journalism-style content.
Organizations funded through the CDC’s vaccine-equity program vetted, trained and partnered with 2,000 social-media influencers to address vaccine hesitancy “using their own voices,” according to a little-noticed paper written by CDC officials.
Trump’s oil investments have gained millions during Iran war as his accounts keep trading

By Luke Fountain, CNBC
As President Donald Trump’s wartime directives in Iran repeatedly jolted global markets, his personal energy portfolio surged.
Throughout the first six months of fighting, Trump’s investment accounts continued aggressively trading energy stocks. Between the eve of the war, on Feb. 27, and Aug. 31, his nine largest oil and gas holdings gained approximately $1.5 million to $4.4 million, according to a CNBC analysis of his annual financial disclosure, quarterly corporate reports and FactSet market data.

El socialismo se queda sin países en América Latina
Colombia, Perú, Chile, Ecuador, Bolivia y Argentina ya lo rechazaron. Venezuela vive sus consecuencias. La pregunta es por qué Estados Unidos avanza en la dirección contraria.
América Latina ha vivido el socialismo de primera mano, y país tras país lo está dejando atrás en las urnas. Colombia, Perú, El Salvador, Chile, Honduras, Ecuador, Bolivia y Argentina han rechazado liderazgos marxistas o socialistas, mientras Venezuela sigue siendo el recordatorio más doloroso de a dónde conduce ese camino. Mientras tanto, en Estados Unidos, donde nadie lo ha experimentado en carne propia, el socialismo gana terreno, muchas veces confundido con simples programas sociales en lugar de lo que realmente es: un sistema donde el gobierno controla los medios de producción.
“Daily News of The Week”
The Rising Cost of Electricity in the United States
Washington, D.C. had the largest increase in average retail electricity prices, rising 72% across all sectors from 2020 to 2025.
Etienne Note: As the organized crime banks and “government” steal the value out of the money, it takes more dollars to purchase every input of electricity, from labor to coal to wire, that is getting passed on to the consumer. See our expose: THE GREATEST THEFT IN HUMAN HISTORY! How the Banks and “Government” Will Steal At Least $1.40 Million From The Typical American Worker... “Legally” for details. In electricity, the organized crime “government” makes things worse with government-owned monopolies OR where they grant a private company (or co-op) a geographical monopoly for a service area, restricting competition. The overwhelming majority of U.S. utility service is provided through either a government-owned utility or a geographically protected monopoly. For electricity, the numbers are especially clear. In 2024, publicly owned electric utilities were about 59% of all electric utilities by number!
By Cody Good, Visual Capitalist
Across the U.S., Americans are paying roughly 30% more for electricity than in 2020.
This graphic, in partnership with the National Public Utilities Council, uses data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration to show the change in average retail electricity prices by state across all sectors from 2020 to 2025.
Carmakers Have a New Idea to Boost EV Range: Add a Gas Engine
Hyundai, Ford and Stellantis are planning to introduce larger EVs with gas generators to solve range anxiety
By Christopher Otts, The wall Street Journal
The auto industry has a new solution to Americans’ fear that electric vehicles will run out of juice: a gasoline engine.
Hyundai, Ford Motor F 1.46%increase; up pointing triangle and Jeep parent Stellantis STLA 1.28%increase; up pointing triangle are among the first U.S.-market automakers planning to roll out a new kind of plug-in vehicle called an extended-range EV. It is a fully electric car with the security blanket of a gas-powered generator to charge the battery, if needed—ensuring you won’t end up stranded as long as a gas station is nearby.
“It is simply a good answer,” said Micky Bly, head of propulsion systems at Stellantis, which aims to kick off the “EREV” trend in the U.S. later this year or early next with its Jeep Grand Wagoneer SUV. A second range-extended vehicle, a pickup truck called the Ram 1500 REV, will follow it. The truck couples a large EV battery with a gas V-6 to recharge it, promising up to 690 miles of driving—more than twice the typical EV in the U.S.

The pro-Germany, anti-globalist, anti-mass migration right-wing populist party known as Alternative für Deutschland delivered its strongest election result ever in Saxony-Anhalt on Sunday, dealing a sharp blow to Germany’s political establishment.
On Sunday, AfD secured 43.8% of the vote in Sunday’s regional election, exceeding polling estimates. Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s Christian Democrats lost about 19 percentage points, while turnout surged to 77.8% from 60.3% in 2021.
According to Marion Mühlberger, a senior economist at Deutsche Bank, AfD’s weekend win leaves the party holding 39 seats in the 83-member legislature, three short of an absolute majority. The CDU, Social Democrats, Greens and Left also have a combined 39 seats.
Huawei Crashes Apple’s Big Launch Week With $3,000 Trifold Smartphone
By Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge
Two days before Apple’s big launch event on Wednesday, when the company is expected to debut its long-awaited foldable iPhone, Huawei Technologies and Xiaomi are unveiling their premium foldable smartphones.
Huawei on Monday unveiled its Mate XT 2, a trifold smartphone that unfolds into a 10.2-inch tablet. The starting price is $2,980, representing a 10% increase over its predecessor.
Huawei Executive Director Richard Yu attributed part of that increase to the big memory squeeze that has sent prices skyrocketing. Despite its premium price, the entry-level device comes with 16GB of memory and 256GB of storage.
Where the Hell Did Our Outrage Go?
Profound autism remains a devastating disability that came out of nowhere: is anyone else pissed off?
By J.B. Handley, How to End the Autism Epidemic
TASMANIA, Australia—Country Artist Tyler Hudson came bombing through the U.S. last week (he’s a Texan living in Australia) and one of his Instagram posts about Autism did something that really doesn’t happen to me anymore after 22 years as an autism dad: it choked me up.
His post was a read-aloud excerpt from his new book, The Missing Lyrics, that discussed a poem written by his NT daughter about his teenage son with profound autism, whose name is Lyric.
I was fine until these words:
Simplicius: AfD’s Historic Win Sends Reverberations of ‘Shock’ Through German Establishment
Last night Germany’s much-maligned AfD party won a crushing and historic victory
Etienne Note: Notice the disparity in the mail-in ballots. All the organized crime “governments” are rigging their elections and pretending to let the population elect the “leaders.” Part of the reason that “government” is such a dumb idea is that the elections are so easily rigged with unauditable black box voting machines, mail-in ballots, monopoly media, disparity of campaign funds, splitting the vote, etc.
Last night Germany’s much-maligned AfD party won a crushing and historic victory. The victory is already being downplayed by many, owing to the fact that Saxony-Anhalt is technically one of Germany’s smallest and least consequential states. But there is far more to it than sheer numbers, as the win defines a turning point not only in German but European politics, and cements the gradual downfall of the globalist ruling class that has tried desperately for decades to keep populist movements from gaining power, in particular utilizing the “Brandmauer” or “firewall” to suppress the so-called far-right.
The destruction of this firewall is an historic occasion, even if it should come by way of such a seemingly inconsequential state.
Rise Of The Machines: China’s Military Prepares Humanoid Robots For Combat
Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge
At the start of the year, we warned about the prospect of humanoid robots moving beyond factory floors and into military operations.
China’s World Humanoid Robot Games last month showcased advances in robotic speed and mobility, while reports of Beijing’s expanding military research suggest preparations for eventual battlefield deployment are gathering pace. The prospect of humanoids operating alongside troops and one-way attack drones presents an unsettling new view of warfare’s next phase: the rise of the machines.
12 Things Your Dermatologist Was Trained Not to Tell You
An Essay on the Skin as Elimination Organ and the Specialty That Cannot See It
Unbekoming, Lies are Unbekoming
Author’s Note
The skin as elimination organ is one of the cleanest terrain teachings there is, and it is the one dermatology cannot allow itself to consider. Every intervention the specialty offers depends on the skin being a barrier to seal rather than a channel to support. Change that one assumption and the whole treatment ladder reverses.
Tylenol and Autism: Evidence, Scientific Blunders, and Medicine Gone Wrong: A Critical Review
William Parker found out that no one had tested Tylenol on a baby’s brain

I know Tony Lyons, who heads Skyhorse Publishing, the publisher of this book. I have interviewed him multiple times.
Dr. William Parker sent me the PDF and answered my questions by email within hours. He knew before sending it that I was writing a review, not a promotion, and he sent it anyway. Everything he told me appears below and reflects his words. You will see that I gave him the last word because a relatively unsophisticated analysis told me that he was telling the truth

No, Capitalism Doesn’t Work by Robert Ringer

Get on the waiting list at Voluntaryism-Book.org or help us finish it up by becoming a sponsor at ArtOfLiberty.org/Sponsor
One of the most commonly heard complaints today—especially among young people—is that “capitalism doesn’t work anymore.” News flash: Capitalism isn’t supposed to “work” for anyone. Capitalism is not a benevolent uncle who guarantees everyone a house, a new car, two vacations a year, and dining out a couple of times a week. It is not a government program or a promise of prosperity.
Not a single politician has made the point that capitalism is just a subcategory of freedom. Specifically, it is economic freedom. It means individuals are free to produce, buy, sell, invest, save, negotiate, succeed, and fail without asking permission from politicians. It does not guarantee that people will make intelligent choices, but it gives people the opportunity to make intelligent choices.
US Navy’s New Air-To-Air Missile AIM-424 Malice: Countering China’s Growing Airpow
Countering China’s Growing Airpower
By Rick Fisher, The Epoch Times
With its revealed range in “excess of 250 nautical miles” (287 miles), the U.S. Navy’s new long-range air-to-air missile (AAM) constitutes a major upgrade in the ability of the United States to arrest China’s quest for superior air power in Asia.
On May 7, 2025, Chinese air combat technology gave Pakistan a historic, beyond-visual-range (BVR) victory, when, during a record aerial engagement between 72 Indian Air Force and 42 Pakistan Air Force combat jets—that did not enter the other’s territory—Pakistan claimed to have shot down five Indian combat aircraft at ranges approaching a record 125 miles, including three French-made 4.5-generation Dassault Rafale fighters.
Pakistan’s victory was enabled by its acquisition of 20 Chengdu Aircraft Corporation 4.5-generation J-10CE fighters, equipped with an estimated 105- to 125-mile-range active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, and armed with 125-plus-mile-range Luoyang PL-15E (‘E’ for export model) long-range AAMs.
Nuclear’s Labor Day News Dump: Nine Reactors And An IPO
by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge
Across the holiday and into Tuesday, the nuclear sector delivered news of a potential eight-reactor construction MOU, pricing details for Holtec’s IPO, and a closed federal loan to resurrect another shuttered American nuclear plant.
The biggest headline is out of South Korea.
Korean outlets reported that Seoul and Washington are discussing a framework to jointly pursue up to eight large reactors in the US, with a memorandum of understanding potentially getting signed as early as September 18. The discussions sit within Korea’s previously announced $350 billion US investment package.
Apple announces the iPhone Duo, the company’s first foldable phone
After years of rumors, we’ve entered a new era of the iPhone.
Etienne Note: Never forget that Edward Snowden leaked NSA slides mocking Apple users for giving them their data “ iPhone Users Are ‘Zombies’ And Steve Jobs Was ‘Big Brother,’ According To The NSA: OR that Apple is populated with Dozens of Former Israeli Spies -Apple has quietly brought in dozens of veterans from Unit 8200, Israel’s shadowy military intelligence unit known for blackmail, mass surveillance, and targeted killings
By Billy Steele, Engadget
At Apple’s “surprise and shine” event, the company’s first foldable iPhone is undoubtedly the most anticipated device on the agenda. After years of rumors, it’s finally here, and as expected it’s called the iPhone Duo.
Like most of the competition, the first folding iPhone utilizes a smaller exterior display when closed before opening up to a larger internal screen. The idea is that this expanded real estate enables better multitasking and media consumption. Of course, this wouldn’t be iPhone without some emphasis on camera performance, and that’s once again a key aspect on the Duo. Plus, the Apple Pencil is along for the ride as well.
Want to Fall Asleep Faster? Write a To-Do List Before Bed
By Angela Haupt, TIME
Nothing deters sleep like a nighttime mental ambush. Just as your head hits the pillow, tomorrow’s to-do list crawls out from under the bed. You’re suddenly answering emails in your mind, crafting meeting agendas, and ruminating over the appointment you still need to schedule. Try this instead: Write down tomorrow’s to-do list tonight.
“One of the most common things I hear from patients with insomnia is, ‘I’m tired and exhausted, but my mind won’t shut off,’” says Dr. M. Taruj Ali, medical director of sleep medicine at Mary Washington Healthcare in Fredericksburg, Va. His patients often describe “a running mental inventory of unfinished tasks and what needs to happen tomorrow.” Spending a few minutes putting those thoughts on paper can give your brain permission to set them aside for the night.
The timing matters, however: Don’t save the exercise for the moment you climb into bed. Experts recommend spending five to 10 minutes on it in the evening when you wrap up your structured tasks, like finishing work, chores, or whatever occupies the bulk of your time. “Getting those things out of your head and onto paper can reduce the pressure to keep thinking about them,” says Sari Chait, a clinical psychologist in Dedham, Mass. If a forgotten task pops into your head later, jot it on a notepad by your bed without turning it into a full-blown planning session.
Former Navy SEAL Matt Bracken: Why We’re Losing the Iran War
The US is fighting a 21st Century war with a 20th Century military
By Matt Bracken
I’m a visual thinker, so I just put this “active vs. passive defense” info-meme together. No A.I. was used. The images are from the internet, the text is mine.
We’re fighting this war on the other side of the planet, and our personnel and extremely expensive and difficult to replace assets are sitting exposed above ground. Iran is fighting on its home turf, using its geography to great advantage.
Iran is six times bigger than Colorado, with significantly higher mountains (up to 18,000 feet). Tunneling into solid granite is something Iranian engineers mastered decades ago. Locating and striking a tunnel entrance with a multi-million-dollar standoff weapon does little to nothing to stop Iran from launching their ballistic missiles. These “missile cities” are built like gopher towns, with many entrances. Earthmoving equipment is on standby to clear temporarily blocked entrances, while the others remain operational.
The Pangram Paradox: The Problem with AI “Detecting” other AIs
AI-powered “detectors” of AI-authored content have been promoted as a way to protect human writing online in the age of AI slop. Unfortunately, that’s not what’s really happening.
By Whitney Webb, Unlimited Hangout
Op-ed: This is an opinion piece published on Unlimited Hangout. Most articles published on UH are not opinion pieces, so we are clearly labeling those that are.
It should be no secret to readers of Unlimited Hangout that I have a very negative view of the impact that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is having on independent media and media in general. As someone who has been impersonated by AI daily on large video platforms for a few years now, I have come to acutely feel that AI is becoming a dangerous force that is making it increasingly difficult for well-meaning readers/viewers to distinguish between what is real and what is false. I don’t mean just for those hoping to view my content, as the personal issue I am facing is a microcosm of a much larger problem.
As a result, one might think that I would have been pleased, if not relieved, to see Substack, a large platform for professional writers, partner with an “AI detection tool.” Not only am I not pleased, but I have now taken the time to write an opinion piece explaining why I think this is bad and to also explain where I think a lot of this is going.
By Simplicius
Last night Iran launched another massive attack against US assets in the region, its largest such attack since early in the year. The target was Muwaffaq Salti Airbase in Jordan, as well as US naval assets around the region. As seen in the video below, the US expended a huge amount of Patriot missiles, some believe upwards of 100+, which would constitute a major slice of the remaining stock:
Direct hits on the base bypass Patriot defenses:
As can be seen, many Iranian ballistic missiles got through the missile shield and hit their targets. Various reports of dozens of US soldier injuries made the rounds, which CENTCOM vehemently denied.

TORONTO (AP) — The United States is banning the import of some dairy products and motorcycles from Canada along with most alcoholic beverages, the White House said Tuesday, as part of a trade war that shows little sign of cooling off.
The ban will take effect Sept. 29 and comes after retaliatory tariffs promised by Canada kicked in earlier Tuesday on $20 billion in U.S. imports. Canada had responded to tariff moves by U.S. President Donald Trump after trade talks between the countries broke down last month.
Trump also moved to shut Canadian products out of large, long-term U.S. government contracts and directed the U.S. General Services Administration to declare Canadian products ineligible for those contracts until Canada allows “full and fair reciprocity″ for American products.

There is a moment before the fall. You will miss it. Everyone does.
The shelves still hold food. The lights still work. The news still talks about politics, sports, the usual noise. But somewhere in the background, something has shifted. The supply chain that moved your breakfast cereal every Tuesday for twenty years now operates on thinner margins than the quarterly reports acknowledge. The water treatment plant built in 1967 still runs, but the replacement parts that once took three days to arrive now take eighteen months, if they arrive at all. The pension checks clear, but the funds backing them have been borrowing from themselves since 2008, and the actuarial projections no longer align with the demographic reality. They just haven’t stopped clearing yet.
This is not collapse. This is the pre-collapse. The period when preparation remains possible, when geography can still be chosen, when the window sits open but narrowing.
Needham Spots Autonomous Trucking Inflection Point Arriving Next Year
By Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge
Swedish freight company Einride’s announcement last month that it plans to deploy 500 Tesla Semis on US roads, the largest publicly announced commitment to electric Class 8 trucks, suggests a shift toward fleet electrification. It also brings the next phase of trucking technology into focus: the gradual commercialization of autonomous freight.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has targeted late 2026 or early 2027 for self-driving capabilities to begin working on the Semi. That remains a Musk target, not a confirmed commercial rollout. Any version requiring a human operator would be supervised automation, like FSD on Tesla sedans, SUVs, and the Cybertruck.
Needham analysts Chris Pierce and Mackenzie Holleran see a broader industry inflection point approaching in 2027, as factory-integrated autonomous trucks begin reaching fleets in greater numbers. Their note to clients says automation in trucking will lower operating costs, while longer operating hours could accelerate deliveries and shift market share toward larger carriers.
Ten AI Jobs That Pay Up To 85% More Than Traditional Tech Jobs
By Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge
Tech professionals who add AI skills to their existing expertise can earn significantly more than those in traditional roles, according to a September 2026 study by software talent marketplace Lemon.io. In some cases, the salary premium approaches 85%, while several career transitions could take less than six months, according to Lemon.io.
The research compared established tech jobs with their AI focused equivalents using average base salary data from Indeed, Built In, and Coursera. It also analyzed Google Jobs postings and monthly search volume to determine which AI titles have genuine hiring demand. The roles were then ranked by the salary increase over their traditional counterparts.
ML site reliability engineers came out on top, earning an estimated $240,000 a year compared with $130,000 for traditional site reliability engineers. That is an increase of nearly 85%, or $110,000 annually. The role builds on distributed systems expertise while adding skills such as GPU fleet management and maintaining reliable machine learning training workloads. The transition is estimated to take five to nine months, with 587 job postings identified.
Upcoming Liberty Events
I have a New Book Coming Out - Organized Crime Theory (OCT) – The Surprisingly Scholarly and Well-Evidenced Thesis that “Government” is Organized Crime.
What started out as a chapter in our upcoming book: Voluntaryism – How the Only “ISM” Fair for Everyone Leads to Harmony, Prosperity and Good Karma for All, turned into a book-length treatment. Unlike “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed!, which made the case BUT did so with speculation in a format that was easy to dismiss, Organized Crime Theory (OCT) makes the case in a scholarly way designed to give any college political science professor or high school civics teacher promoting “government” an intellectual curb-stomping!
We could use some help getting the book out and I am happy to share a preview copy with any heavy hitters that could help us with the initial print run and marketing campaign. E-mail me at Etienne (at) ArtOfLiberty.org if you are interested.
I’ll also send a preview copy to anyone who joins as a Sponsor ($125), Sustaining Member ($500), Patron ($1000), Benefactor ($5000) or President’s Club ($25,000) in addition to the other amazing perks we have to say THANK YOU!
