So some idiot wanted a hit on Pam Bondi and was offering a $45,000 contract for the deed on Tic Toc. Obviously not the smartest move for a wanna-be-an-assassin... Lord save us from idiots but alas I fear it might be to late. 

Good news with anarchists like this, the job of the FBI and law enforcement is a lot easier than it used to be IMO.

Quote:October 27, 2025 / Joseph P. Farrell

If you're a regular reader here you'll have noticed that I've refrained from much public commentary on the sad assassination of Mr. Charlie Kirk last month during his visit to a Utah college campus. My reasons for doing so, or rather, not doing so, were basically two-fold. Firstly, I did not think nor feel extended comment or analysis was courteous. He, his family, friends, and followers deserved some privacy to grieve and process the whole thing. But secondly, it quickly became clear that, as the story began to be unfolded, there were massive problems with "the narrative." Planes were taking off from local airports under very suspicious circumstances. The alleged assassin supposedly pulled off a feat of marksmanship worthy of magic bullets, misaligned telescopic sites on World War Two Italian  bolt-action rifles, and Marine veterans who spent time in the Soviet Union and married the daughter of a colonel of Soviet military intelligence. Some witnesses were not so sure that the shots even came from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository roof of a college building, while film videos of the event surfaced strongly suggesting that the kill shot came from the Grassy Knoll from behind the victim, while in both cases the security seemed to have been inadequate and stripped from the intended victim.

The parallels, when one gets right down to it, are uncanny... and profoundly disturbing.

Then there was this seemingly unrelated story of an explosion of a munitions plant in Tennessee (we are grateful to V.T. for pointing this one out):

Investigators Identify Origin of Massive Tennessee Bomb-factory Blast

Note the following points: (1) The name of the affected firm is A.E.S., or Accurate Energetic Systems, and sadly, the entire factory was destroyed and sixteen people died in the explosion:

Quote:The explosion took place at the Accurate Energetic Systems facility in Bucksnort, about 90 minutes west of Nashville, on 10 October. Sixteen people were killed and the factory was destroyed, along with large quantities of munitions.

As to what caused the explosion, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms is presently not saying, noting only that up to 28,000 pounds of explosives were detonated, and that the result will probably have effects on the U.S.A.'s military supply chain:

Quote:“They have developed multiple scientific hypotheses regarding what caused this tragedy,” ATF Special Agent in Charge Jamey VanVliet said at a press conference outside of the AES plant on Friday.

“The building contained a mezzanine level with six melting kettles, and the main floor contained at least three production kettles,” said Brice McCracken, special agent in charge of the ATF’s National Center for Explosives Training and Research (NCETR).

Between 24,000 and 28,000 lb of explosives detonated during the explosion.


Although the investigators said they’ve identified the area where the explosion took place, they did not announce an official cause and refused to speculate about it.

The next phase of the investigation will attempt to determine the cause.


“The next phase of this investigation happens at ATF labs and testing facilities, where the evidence collected from the scene will be analyzed, examined, and tested,” VanVliet said.

All on-site examinations have been concluded and the site has been handed back to AES.

Last week, defense experts warned the explosion could have a severe impact on military supply chains, which are already under severe strain because of the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. The US has provided four million artillery shells to Ukraine since the war began in 2022.

These points led me previously to speculate that perhaps this event was an act in an ongoing "covert hot war" being waged between the USA and its geopolitical rivals. After all, this website covered a series of similar explosions in Russian, Chinese, French, British, and German facilities in years past, and speculated that they were perhaps the result of covert operations (as a simple search for the blogs on this website's search engine will reveal). Usually I accompanied these early munitions plants explosions with the warning "covert operations are a game two can play," trying to warn the insane leadership of the West that if they were indeed involved in sanctioning covert sabotage of rivals' ammunition plants and other facilities, they could expect retaliation.

But in this case, a story has emerged that there might be an entirely different connection to the  Tennessee munitions plant explosion: Mr. Kirk's assassination(story also courtesy of V.T.):

Quote:Unraveling the Mystery of Who Assassinated Charlie Kirk and Why

There is much in this article to ponder, for example, problems with the emerging "official narrative":

Quote:The official FBI narrative is preposterous and has been thoroughly debunked by many independent investigative reporters. A few of many specifics: snipers, veterans, gun enthusiasts and hunters agree the magic 30-06 bullet would have blown the back of Charlie’s head off. Despite the claims of Laura Loomer and Jack Posobiec and other influencers that we all saw a leftist shoot Charlie (we didn’t), no video of Tyler Robinson shooting the rifle has been released. Why is that? And why was the crime scene destroyed?) Robinson may indeed be the man seen running across the roof, but despite the 2024 installation of 1,000+ state of the art cameras on UVU grounds, the video released to the public was too far away to actually identify who was running.

But my focus was upon this important paragraph, because it deals with a theory which, like the article's authoress, I originally rejected, but am coming to at least entertain, and it is here that the tenuous connection to the Tennessee munitions plant explosion emerges:

Quote:The scenario that seems the most plausible to me is there were two events. Video and photo analysis and audio forensics indicate perhaps a subsonic projectile shot and what has been dubbed the “exploding microphone” theory promoted by Jon Bray in his highly technical analytical videos and explanations on X.

I dismissed this hypothesis weeks ago but revisited it when additional facts were uncovered. Charlie’s black microphone clasp seen on his white t-shirt was connected to a RODE battery beneath his shirt that contained a shaped charge – a plastic explosive, metal cone and pellet. The device was remotely detonated by someone in the audience, possibly the security guard wearing the beige plaid shirt standing directly in front of Charlie when he touched his arm at the exact moment Kirk was hit. The magnetic clasp/mic was propelled into his neck and then fell out of his neck making the entry point also the exit wound.

A video can be seen of this object entering and exiting his neck, although it is possible the video was altered. Many dismiss this theory because no burn marks were left on his shirt, however, the residue could have been crystals which would eliminate any scorching. This scenario would involve high-tech, perhaps even classified technology.

According to UFO and assassinations expert Daniel Liszt, known as Dark Journalist, advanced technology is always used in assassinations. This theory is the only one that explains the extreme billowing of Charlie’s shirt in front and back.

Additionally, it was discovered that a company in Tennessee, Accurate Energetic Systems, received a contract from May-August 2025 to manufacture “miniaturized demolition charges anti-personnel to support special purpose missions.” AES delivered the product and then the factory was totally demolished in September prior to the murder. A shot may have occurred simultaneously from a low velocity gun or rifle as a decoy to cover for the high tech explosion but perhaps also for redundancy purposes. (Emphasis added)

Other than getting the timing of the munitions plant explosion relative to Mr. Kirk's death wrong( the two events occurred exactly a month apart, but Mr. Kirk was murdered first, on Sept. 10, 2025, and the plant exploded on Oct 10, 2025), the article makes the astonishing assertion that the company's specialty was miniaturized explosive devices, such as pagers and cell phones that can be detonated remotely at the push of a button.

It does not take a great leap of the imagination to see that small lapel microphones could be made to fire a close range projectile, and with great close range accuracy. They are, after all, fixed to the lapel of the intended target, and can thus be aligned to the target.  If so, then the explosion of the munitions factory follows the pattern in evidence in Utah: destruction of the crime scene (and therefore of evidence), elimination of witnesses (the employees at the plant), selection of a patsy, and so on.

While a glance at the company's website suggests that it would have been capable of fabricating such a device, I do not think it was involved at all, except in a very tenuous way, for as is more probably the case, it provided the perpetrators with the talent pool of expert consultation necessary for someone else to fabricate such a miniature demolition device. Indeed, it seems highly unlikely that the company itself would be involved in a one-off production of an exploding lapel microphone sort of one-shot-derringer contraption, even though the company's name is, after all, "Accurate Energetic Systems".

In any case, some employee or employees might have had the expertise to do so under private "contract":

Accurate Energetic Systems, LLC

Note the following statements from the site:

Quote:Our core areas of expertise include:

• Pelletized Explosives
  
• Casting Specialty Melt Pour Explosives
  
• Fabricating Energetic Devices
  
• Load, Assemble, Pack (LAP)
  
• Manufacturing and Processing Bulk Explosives (emphasis added)
  

And this, which seems particularly relevant to the article's assertions:

Quote:

• Explosives melt pour processing: This area consists of two multi-level buildings purpose built for explosive melt pour operations. Each building contains specialized equipment for controlled melting, pouring and cooling of explosive compositions. Examples of cast items include mining boosters, warheads, grenades, mortars, shaped charges and TNT cylinders. A reactor for granular explosive composition processing is also located in this area.
  

Time will tell, of course, if any of this high octane speculation gains more traction as more information emerges. But the implications are very clear if the speculation be true: deep and covert expertise and sophisticated secret planning was involved, and the players themselves are broad and extensive, with the ability to literally eliminate not just one, but two potential crime scenes. And small explosive devices in cell phones? Well, that too has been tried, and I suspect every reader here knows who did that.

See you on the flip side...

This is a parody piece, yet it sure sounds like a solid prediction to me. If this were happening, that Information could help with stock choices.

Parody or prediction, I'm saving my Halloween candy this year. Seal it up and put it in the freezer, just to be sure.

Ernst Florens Friedrich Chladni (1756–1827) and the origins of modern meteorite research (1819)

Quote:“In 1794, Ernst F. F. Chladni published a 63-page book in which he proposed that meteor-stones and iron masses enter the atmosphere from cosmic space and form fireballs as they plunge to Earth.”

“These ideas violated two strongly held contemporary beliefs: (1) fragments of rock and metal do not fall from the sky, and (2) no small bodies exist in space beyond the Moon.”

Quote:In all ages meteoric stones have fallen on the earth. Many of

them were found by persons who were in search of them; they pre-
served them, and thus collections were made in private rarity cabinets
and in natural history cabinets. Many learned persons believed in
meteoric stones, but many others were sceptical, and their attacks
were so violent, and their mockery about stones that fell from the
atmosphere, or were thrown by the men in the Moon to the inhab-
itants of the Earth, so sharp as to shake the belief of many a
collector, and the happy possessor, fearing the mockery of the so-
called learned men, concealed his treasures, or threw them away on
the dust-hill, or in a ditch.

Quote:The U.S. Army, Marines, and Special Forces have all replaced their sniper rifles with one system — the Barrett MK22 MRAD Precision Sniper Rifle. In this video, Chris Cappy breaks down why every American sniper switched to this new long-range bolt-action rifle and how it’s changing modern warfare. The MK22 fires multiple calibers including .338 Lapua Magnum, .300 Norma, and 7.62 NATO, offering extreme accuracy beyond 1,500 meters. It’s modular, deadly precise, and part of a new global sniper revolution reshaping U.S. military doctrine. We’ll explore how the Precision Sniper Rifle program began under SOCOM, why modular chassis systems dominate today, and how drones, AI, and battlefield sensors are transforming the sniper’s role. From the civilian precision-shooting world to Army modernization, this is the story of how America built the most advanced sniper rifle ever made.

For those who have a slight interest in this sort of stuff the announcement about Google's Quantum chip breakthrough just might be the biggest thing since the first 0s and 1s were used to create Pong the video game..One big down side is there is no current encryption that can stand up to a Quantum computers attack ... Think banking, Crypto coins, protected military and company secrets all available to a Quantum computer that wants to take a look. 

Quote:October 22nd, 2025 changed everything. Google just achieved verifiable quantum advantage—and what they discovered breaks 200 years of physics. This isn’t about faster computers. This is about quantum systems exceeding the Carnot efficiency limits we thought were fundamental to reality itself. Google’s Willow chip just performed one trillion measurements, peer inside molecules in ways that were literally impossible before, and shattered our understanding of what’s physically possible. In this video, I break down:

• How Google’s Willow chip achieved 99.97% fidelity (and why that matters)
  
• The German breakthrough that violated 200-year-old thermodynamic laws
  
• Why quantum error correction below threshold changes EVERYTHING
  
• The Quantum Echoes algorithm that creates “butterfly effects” inside processors
  
• Real timeline: When quantum moves from labs to industrial applications (18-36 months)
  
• The three-part pattern accelerating us toward fault-tolerant quantum computing
  
• What this means for drug discovery, materials science, AI, and cryptography
  
• The dark side nobody wants to discuss
  

Here’s what keeps me up at night: The gap between classical and quantum capabilities isn’t just wide—it’s exponential. Tasks taking classical supercomputers 13,000 times longer are running on quantum processors TODAY. As these systems improve, that gap grows. We’re entering an era where quantum-powered discovery will reshape human civilization within a decade. Organizations making moves RIGHT NOW will define the next decade. Those waiting will become obsolete. The bottom line: This is the most important technology transition of our lifetime. More important than the internet. More important than AI alone. Because quantum enables everything else—it’s the foundation accelerating every other field. The only question is whether you ride the wave or get swept away by it.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — June Lockhart, who became a mother figure for a generation of television viewers whether at home in “Lassie” or up in the stratosphere in “Lost In Space,” has died. She was 100.
Lockhart died Thursday of natural causes at her home in Santa Monica, family spokesman Lyle Gregory, a friend of 40 years, said Saturday.
“She was very happy up until the very end, reading the New York Times and LA Times everyday,” he said. “It was very important to her to stay focused on the news of the day.”

Quote:October 24, 2025 / Joseph P. Farrell

Regular readers of this site who have been here for a few years will recall that I blogged some years ago about all those explosions that seemed to be afflicting munitions and chemical plants around the world, particularly in Russia, as a few of its munitions factories exploded. There were also explosions at Iranian ammunition dumps, an explosions in German and British ammunition factories, and explosions in Chinese and French chemical plants in Tianjing and Rouen.

At the time I was blogging about these events, I was arguing that one could not rule out two possibilities: (1) that the events were not accidental, but deliberate sabotage as the result of covert action, or (2) as the result of the covert deployment of some sophisticated technology or weaponry.  In particular, the crater signature of the Tianjin chemical plant explosion intrigued me, because the crater did not look wide and shallow, but rather narrow and deep, as if it had been formed by a deep penetrator bomb, or perhaps even a "rod-of-God" kinetic device deployed from space. This opinion was not based on anything other than what photographs were available at the time. (For a list or my blogs on the prior explosions, search for "munitions plant explosions" on this website's search engine. The most useful article summarizing the pattern is here:

FIRST TIANJIN, THEN SIBERIA, THEN IRAQ, THEN ROUEN, FRANCE, AND NOW

When news came out about the explosion of the munitions plant in Tennessee recently, covert action was again my first thought, but at the time there was not much information to go on, until S.D. sent along the following article, and it's worth pondering:

More Than An Accident? Kyle Bass Sounds Alarm On U.S. Military Explosives Supply Chain After Tennessee Plant Blast

What should catch one's attention here is the assertion of Kyle Bass - made without any corroboration - that the plant provided explosives for about 60% of the Department of Defense's various weapons systems:

Quote:The Accurate Energetics Systems explosion in Tennessee demands urgent, independent scrutiny. With China moving aggressively toward Taiwan and historical precedents of sabotaging munitions facilities, we cannot dismiss the possibility this was more than an accident. AES provides over 60% of the Department of War’s high-explosives systems, losing it for years is a strategic shock. Every indicator and warning in the system is flashing red.

After a commenter remarked on this concentration, Bass modified his comment:

Quote:Across 60% of the platforms…not 60% outright. It’s not quite worded properly.

Even with the correction, one is left with the impression that serious damage to the long-term strategic supply chain for American military forces has been dramatically effected, and the timing of the event, as noted by Bass himself, is suspicious, with the recent Chinese pressures on Taiwan. One might also note that the explosion occurred in an even more suggestive temporal context, namely, the announcement of the Trump administration that Mr. Putin and Mr. Trump would hold a summit meeting hosted by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in Budapest, to deal with the Ukrainian issue. At a time when the Ukraine seems to be in a nearly hysterical panic for more weapons from the west, damage to the munitions infrastructure needed to supply them weakens the negotiating strength of Mr. Trump.  In any case, the article itself reaches a similar conclusion regarding this event as I reached years ago with other similar events:

Quote:And circling back to Bass' warning about potential sabotage in Tennessee - given China's ongoing hybrid warfare campaign against the U.S. - nothing can be ruled out. As an old Chinese saying goes, it's "death by a thousand cuts." That's the best way to explain the CCP's hybrid warfare against the U.S.

Placed in the context of my earlier blogs about similar events, however, this recent event could be viewed as part of a much larger picture, one of a covert hot war taking place, with the earlier explosions at Russian, Chinese, British, German, Iranian, and French facilities as the manifestations of that war. If the earlier pattern of those events - Russian and Chinese explosions followed by French, British, and German  "incidents" - then we may reasonably assume that there will be some retaliation for this event against whomever the American investigators determine was behind it, and rest assured, if Kyle Bass can think of it, the Department of Defense's investigators already have, and are pursuing it. They will not make any announcements, however. But if plants in China or Russia suddenly explode in a few weeks or months, we may reasonably assume that it might not be another unfortunate accident.

Swedish Astrophysicists have been examining pre-satellite era photographic plates from 1949 to 1957 to see if anything was in Earth orbit before we started sending stuff up there and they may have come up with the goods , of the 5 potential anomalous objects found they discovered one event with 5 dots in a row in Earth orbit interestingly on July 27th 1952 the weekend of the Washington lights sightings.

I would request they look at plates 1945-1948 , see if we can't find Skinny Bobs ship before his accident.

Why a rant ?

Because of the manufactured mystery aspect of the Stones.

A mysterious individual engages a local firm to erect huge granite stones.  Not only that, the stones are so arranged and carved that they can function as both a clock and a calendar.  And to top it all off, they include "commandments" in several languages intended to guide humanity as to how to survive after an apocalypse.

I mean, think about it.  This person revealed their identity to the local banker but told him to keep it secret.  The project in 1980 cost some $100,000 and the money was sent by bank transfer.

Umm, that means there are bank records regarding the transfer, like ... whose account it came from.  But no one has apparently ever shown any curiosity about that.

The other huge red flag is the property upon which the stones were erected.  Who owned that property ?  Let's get real, OF COURSE they knew about the construction and probably had a good idea of, at the least, the group behind the construction of the stones.  But again, no one seemed curious about that.

Finally, there is the question of local planning officials, the mayor, etc.  They knew damned well about the project and were happy with it, else it would NOT have been completed.  I mean (again), one doesn't just go to one state in the USA from another state and fund the construction of such a project without collaborators.  Just the permissions required can be a legal mess, but in this case, it was apparently no issue at all.

= = = =

Some people have dug into this affair.  It seems likely the person who spoke to the banker and construction company in Elberton was a Doctor Herbert Kersten from Fort Dodge, Iowa.  Kersten was known for having far ranging speculations on topics like overpopulation (something mentioned on the stones).  As well, his writing style depicted in letters to the editor in his local newspaper resemble the style used in the written communications to the banker in Elberton.

As someone on find-a-grave asked, "why all the secrecy" ?
