Global News, August 2025:Nationalism, Faith, and Foreign Influence - From Germany’s AfD to Gaza and Brazil

Edited Money and Weapons Commentary

Germany, with Mr. Merz at the helm (a former BlackRock advisor) has in the first 100 days of the new chancellor and red–black government coalition achieved what they actually wanted to avoid—a growing AfD. But the woke and the warmongers (the former peaceniks) as a minority seem to manage all the wrong priorities and suffer a decline in popularity while excluding the party with the highest approval in a coalition, and still think they are a democracy. Well, is there still a connection with the AZOV thinking in Ukraine, and is Putin really an anti-Semite ?

If you ever wonder if the October 7 attack was really a surprise, it is like watching the Chinese wall being built and at the last stone you have a eureka moment. You may wonder— in this 2013 article , Israel already discovered tunnels, and here is an article about the whole tunnel system , originally smuggle tunnels and then re-functioned to military purposes. So, they built tunnels for almost 70 years, and nobody noticed? Wonder if all the foreign aid was finding the right people— the Borgen Project , AP News, billions of dollars, 2021 , USAID 2023–2024 , here are New Republic sources. So by all this money, how do you establish a control mechanism unless your NGO is politically engaged? Certainly not a recipe for fighting famine. The more you follow this conflict, it makes you think if this was not a biblical welcoming, and the way this may turn out, Israel may get the territories for its expansion. The settlers had their sight on it almost as long as Hamas built tunnels. (Some of the settlers move to the occupied territories for religious reasons while others are drawn by a relatively lower cost of living and financial incentives offered by the government. Ultraorthodox Jews form one-third of all settlers.) So, it begs the question: who is the aggressor? Yes, we know Hamas wants to eliminate Israel, but does that justify stealing land, or is it sanctioned under the "holy"? Hopefully there is a solution before all fighters are dead, and people can go on with life—and if there is a door in the middle of nowhere, it might be a tunnel. And for the states accepting Palestine as a state, Israel has a clear answer.

Digital missionaries and the Catholic Church —are we seeing the next Crusade with priest bloggers, influencers, and probably some instigators? So far so good, but what about separation of church and state? What are vulnerable migrants , or is it simply defying the state for the good? But in that case, what sets the limits— human rights and accusation of ? Mr. Ossoff seems to have credible evidence , but was he also aware of the kids in cages ? Kelly asked Johnson about a 2014 photograph of him touring an Arizona facility for migrants along with former Gov. Jan Brewer. The picture is archived on the website for the Arizona Capitol Times. That image was also part of another social media meme accusing Michelle Obama of lying about "kids in cages" during her DNC speech. Facebook user Eulalia Maria Jimenez posted it to her page on Aug. 18. Johnson is circled in red in the image. It is only inhumane under Trump.

Meddling in elections —while we now have some confidence that the Russian hoax was an attack on the 2016 election as well as the 2020, and if so, certainly had a fundamental effect on the US–Russia relation and the consequence of the Ukrainian war. But any idea what Biden was thinking (translate) to sabotage the Brazilian election—fascism? In a hearing before the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies on August 6, 2025, Benz said that the CIA, in close cooperation with the Biden administration, rigged the 2022 elections to prevent the re-election of then-President Jair Bolsonaro and secure the victory of left-wing candidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. This approach, according to Benz, was orchestrated via the US Agency for International Development (USAID), which was used as an instrument of geopolitical influence until its closure by Donald Trump in 2025.

The Democratic Party Shutdown Strategy: We've got ANTIFA and Weathermen in Congress, and a shutdown to please the 5%—is that a winning strategy? Perhaps a clear indication that the Democratic Party no longer exists. It is a Kimmel–Colbert–Springsteen sound-setting orchestra, with tunes from Rosie, Joy Reid, The View and Psaki, and MSNBC and other leftist commentators. Schumer and Jeffries are no longer relevant; the squad rule is on. Thank you, Bernie and Soros, but the shutdown will hopefully silence all government waste, a shutdown DOGE? If we miss you, we let you know, but for now, it is the Republicans in favor 70:30. Here's an explainer: fight, fight, fight against Trump—the only reasoning the Democrats offer these days. We need to elect politicians, not litigators and Soros activists. Axios has reported throughout the year how Hill Democrats have been besieged by an increasingly angry base demanding that they " fight harder " and "do something" about Trump. – In February, shortly after President Trump's inauguration, it was voters blowing up Democrats' phone lines with demands to "fight back" against DOGE. – In March, it was angry crowds gathered at town halls to chew Democrats out for purportedly not doing enough to resist Trump, which some lawmakers compared to the rise of the Tea Party. – By July, Democratic lawmakers were expressing concerns about their base demanding they put themselves in harm's way to draw attention to the administration's use of physical force. But it looks like the Democrats are united, with presidential candidates proposing and supporting the radical stance. Just wonder: Gavin Newsom urged Democrats to stand firm amid the government shutdown Friday, saying, "You lose leverage, you lose this country." ANTIFA leverage? The shutdown —essential and non-essential—or why are there government non-essential functions? Are the SPLC (no leftists), ACLU, ANTIFA , and the Redneck Revolt all part of non-essential feeding grounds? And what about academia ? Or are we at the start of a John Brown revolution, with unidentified actors/founders ? Portland, Oregon: Portland Oregon —why is ICE and the Trump administration so focused on Portland? It looks like an Eldorado to live in the state and city , but also a hotspot of the rebellion, because the elite rulers use it to provide what? A one-party state for many years . Oregon hasn't always had a lack of affordable housing, costly and poor-performing public schools, high taxes and heavy regulations on businesses, rampant drug addiction and homeless campers everywhere. Whom do you blame for all of this? Perhaps because people move there to live a hippy life—I mean a happy life—or the political mix. The people in rural areas don't care if the cities get waxed by anti-fascists. A 2008 analysis by political statistician Nate Silver on states' political ideology noted that the state's conservatives were the most conservative of any state (more so than Utah or Tennessee) and that the state's liberals were more liberal than any state (more so than Vermont or D.C.). For now, a Trump judge ruled in favor of ANTIFA . Let the demolition go on—happy winter. 'Justice has been served': Gov. Tina Kotek, others praise judge's ruling blocking troops to Portland. FBI Political Affiliations: Is the FBI politically Republican-charged? There is some social media claim that since the 1950s, no Democrat was leading the FBI. If you are counting James Comey, Robert Mueller, and Christopher Wray as Republicans, you perhaps need to note there is a litany of Trump haters in the Republican Party. But for good measure, it is called the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and nominations are approved by Congress and controlled by the AG and the US intelligence committee. Wonder why this is a question when Trump is president? Looks to me, with 90% lawyers on committees, like a straightforward legal matter. And shifting priorities —left and right have extreme activism . It is just a question of who you ask, so why not check them both accurately? But mental sickness is not part of an ideology—unless some publishers are politically biased.
