The Grotesque Tangle Of Sedition

“We are also starting to consult federal workers on how to do some blocking inside the govt agencies during emergency situations — but please do not put that on the form.” —Eric Manton, of the DRG

They put it on the form, though, cuz somebody screwed up. Oopsie. . . .

Get this: the reason that a color revolution is underway at all in America is not really political anymore — if it ever even was. It’s because a whole lot of people have committed crimes against this country. And with each wave of attempted sedition, they have compounded their crimes with more seditious acts, arrant hoaxes, lawfare, election fraud, censorship, and wholesale looting of taxpayer dollars to keep themselves out of prison.

That’s what USAID was all about, and why it was taken down early in Trump 2.0. It was a nexus of racketeering and the home-base of the Deep State’s foot soldiers, bureaucrats who actually managed the money streams to NGOs that ran everything from election rigging operations to vast social services fraud in blue states, in concert with a Democratic Party that had nothing but rackets to keep it going.

That’s how the USAID’s defunct Bureau for Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance (DRG) has morphed into the new Democracy Renewal Group (DRG). This new DRG operates under another project called Branch-4 — as in a fourth branch of government, the permanent bureaucracy — and Branch-4 operates under an NGO called the Action Center on Race and the Economy Institute (ACRE Institute), a 501(c)(3) public charity based in Chicago (EIN 82-1199695). Note, the ACRE Institute’s primary funders include the Ford Foundations and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. You see how byzantine this is, echoing exactly the hyper-complex administrative workings of government bureaucracy itself?

And so, that’s why, for instance, one Eric Manton, a former USAID employee now working with DRG said, “. . . we are also starting to consult federal workers on how to do some blocking inside the govt agencies during emergency situations.” Blocking? What they mean by that is federal employees lodged in the official agencies should “help run out the clock. . . develop selective hearing. . . forgetfulness. . . or blame your workload” for whatever it takes to block enforcement of any executive action proposed by the Trump administration.

Those tactics are explicitly proposed by another org, the Federal Workers Alliance for Democracy (FWAD formerly known as Federal Workers Against DOGE), which is affiliated with DRG primarily as a partner in the Renew American Democracy (RAD) strategy and through the broader Branch-4 ecosystem. Confused yet? You should be. The flak-storm of acronyms is beloved by Lefty-leftists for exactly that purpose.

RAD is run by Daniella Reiff, a 20-year veteran of USAID color revolution programs in Europe and Africa. Her co-coordinator at RAD is one Paul Zeitz, an osteopath and rabbi who worked previously for USAID in Africa and for the State Department as Director of the Data Revolution for Sustainable Development, whatever that was. FWAD is led by one Beverly Schreiber

Woman Arrested for Attacking Jews in NYC with Syringe- Faces Multiple Charges Including Hate Crime

A woman was arrested on Saturday after an attack on a rabbi and another Jewish man in New York City

The New York Post reports that Anna Mochalova, 32, was arrested and is facing charges, including assault as a hate crime, after jabbing a young rabbi in Midtown Manhattan. Officials also revealed she attacked another Jewish man just minutes later.

Per The New York Post:

The alleged bigot began to stalk Yosef, a 26-year-old rabbi, who is seen in surveillance video wearing traditional Orthodox garb, before stabbing him in the back with a needle near West 47th Street and Fifth Avenue on Wednesday at 5:50 p.m., according to prosecutors.

Yosef, the young rabbi stabbed with a syringe, previously told The Post he believes he was targeted because he is “visibly Jewish.”

In another incident a few minutes laters, Mochalova is alleged to have deliberately bumped into a 37-year-old Jewish man wearing a yarmulke.

Mochalova bumped into the man several times, causing a stinging sensation in his right arm, prosecutors alleged – before chillingly telling the man “run away from here. I have a gun. I’m going to shoot you.”

The man was later treated for lacerations, according to authorities.

Prosecutors also claim that a third potential victim was not harmed after he was Muslim.

Serbia’s Nationalist Leader Concedes Defeat to ‘Deep State’-Backed Student Movement, Vows to Return

Aleksandar Vučić, the longtime nationalist and populist leader of Serbia, conceded defeat in the country’s parliamentary election while arguing that the student-led movement that won was backed by the same “deep American state” that works “against President Trump.”

Vučić made the announcement shortly after the polls closed on Sunday evening, saying, “Based on the stratified sample, it is clear that we have lost the election” to the Student List that was born from anti-government student protests.

“The Student List has won and will have between 135 and 140 seats, while we will have around 105,” the former president and prime minister added.

While he admitted he was beaten in the recent election, Vučić vowed to make a comeback.

“I love Serbia. I will never leave Serbia. From freedom and from prison, from any place, I will defeat them much faster than they think,” an English translation from the Clash Report reads:

“From tonight, we start preparing. We are going to defeat them,” Vučić told supporters from his podium after the preliminary results showed the opposition movement with a strong lead.

He continued, saying, “You will see in six months, no one will be happy and joyful anymore.”

How Government Intervention Destroys Markets and Mandates Scarcity

The systematic erosion of purchasing power over the last few decades has coincided directly with a devastating decline in living standards for middle-class wage earners and prudent savers alike. You can visibly see it in most cities across America.

Areas that a generation ago were nice, clean neighborhoods are now blighted and decayed. Those with the means to do so moved on long ago. Those who remain are left with the ugliness.

But that’s not all. As we recently noted, when central planners intentionally debase a currency, they don’t just erode hard-earned savings; they tear apart the very moral fabric of society.

From revolutionary France’s catastrophic reliance on paper assignats to the modern Federal Reserve’s relentless balance-sheet expansions, the ruinous playbook never changes. Hard work and patient, disciplined saving are gradually replaced by financial desperation and wild, speculative gambling.

And once a populace begins to feel the suffocating squeeze of rapid dollar debasement, they look for someone – anyone – to stop the bleeding. They don’t typically point their angry fingers at the central bank or the reckless spending sprees in Washington. Instead, they look at the retail checkout counter, wrongly blaming local merchants and business owners.

They demand immediate, forceful relief from high prices. And opportunistic politicians, eager to avoid blame for the inflation they created, are more than happy to offer the brainless, counterproductive solution of government-imposed price controls.

Here in the USA, and across the entire planet, we’ve arrived at a dangerous and muddled place where the appetite for heavy-handed government intervention has crossed party lines entirely. Unaware that state-sponsored dollar debasement is the real thief in the night, everyday citizens are crying out for the state to slap artificial price caps on basic necessities.

“They’re not protesting and they’re not French”: The False Narratives Of The Far Right

A masked young lad is filming from his seat on a runaway tourist train as it careens through the Paris streets. “Waaaooh” he shouts as it whizzes along, waving at other kids dressed all in black, to the sounds of cheering. His eyes tell the story – he’s high as a kite on adrenaline and the unexpected joy of total freedom, unshackled, for a fleeting moment, from the grinding manacles of economic necessity.

He is one of tens of thousands. They’ve filled the streets for weeks, clambered onto statues, fought the cops, made demands for their futures. As police violence has escalated against them, they’ve fought back in kind under the slogan “if we burn, you burn.” An increasingly literal interpretation as public buildings collapse in flames. The youth in full, uninhibited revolt the likes of which we haven’t seen for many years.

And their furious rebellion has been caught by the wind, spreading across Europe, reflecting the economic and social malaise that afflicts the entire Western hemisphere, a crisis of capital and demographics that States have decided the young must bear and fix, white offering nothing in return. The motivation for that delirious nihilistic moment of a stolen buggy rampaging down cobbled tourist streets, a wild young man hollering to the crowds, is as understandable as it is universal.

But the kid is brown, and that’s all the excuse the commenters need.

Similar can be found under every news item posted by every news organisation. They’re not protesters, they’re jihadis taking their chance. They aren’t French students, they’re Muslim foreigners. Never mind that in every video we can see how young the people kicking off are, never mind how many white faces are all over the place, never mind what the demands are or the many anarchist and socialist slogans that have been daubed on every wall.

For those of us with a bit of grey along their temples, the words sound all too familiar. We hear some variation on the theme whenever any social rebellion begins, from Hosni Mubarak and pals during the Egyptian revolution in 2011 to Donald Trump shrieking about anteefa after the January 6th riots. It’s the elites’ favourite excuse – outside agitators. It can’t be what it looks like, we must unite against an amorphous, pernicious alien influence and, merely by happy accident, preserve the status quo.

Blah blah blah. It’s as tiresome as it is predictable. We know it’s bullshit. So why are the far-right’s socials full of exactly that rhetoric?

Why did Carney’s two days in New York need a five-day, $95,343 hotel contract?

Global Affairs Canada awarded a $95,343.45 contract to the Loews Regency, on Park Avenue in Manhattan, for Prime Minister Mark Carney’s two-day visit to New York in May, according to the federal government’s proactive disclosure of contracts. The contract, dated May 25, 2026, is listed as “Hospitality” with the comment “Accomodation Services for PM travel.” It runs five days, May 25 to 29, was awarded without competition, and lists one bid.

The Canadian Press reported on Sunday, May 24, that the prime minister would travel “to New York City on Wednesday and Thursday,” May 27 and 28, to “court more investment.” The Logic reported that on Thursday, May 28, Carney met JPMorgan Chase chief executive Jamie Dimon and other chief executives who were members of the Business Roundtable, and told the Economic Club of New York that “Canada strong will help make America great again.”

The Loews Regency, at 540 Park Avenue and 61st Street, has 379 rooms including 58 suites. The record, a contract value at award rather than a final invoice, does not say how many rooms were booked or who stayed, and it began two days before the reported visit. A separate sole-sourced contract, $29,565 to Jacquemin Transportation Services, for “Transportation Services” from May 26 to 28, falls inside the same window, but the record does not name the city.

The same American firm was contracted a month earlier for Governor General Mary Simon: Global Affairs lists $24,223 to Jacquemin for “Governor General to New York Transportation April 16-22, 2026” and $36,809 to Jolly Hotels USA Inc., operating as NH Collection Hotels, for “GG Visit to New York Accomodation Services” from April 15 to 22, both without competition.

Rideau Hall says Simon gave a keynote at the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues on April 20. The three contracts that name New York total $156,375; if the May transport contract is the New York leg, the four come to $185,940, not counting flights, security or meals.

Rebel News reported on October 14 that the same database lists $1,382,640.67 in sole-sourced contracts for Carney’s June trip to Europe. The records name only a contracting officer and are marked as not from a minister’s office; the department reports to Anita Anand, Minister of Foreign Affairs.

The Fallout From Corruption: How Did a Florida Mayor Defraud Thousands With a COVID-19 Program?

There’s nothing that bothers me more than when a person is elected to a position of power, but then chooses to abuse that power instead of actually doing something good with it. And that’s the case with Kissimmee, Fla., Mayor Jackie Espinosa, who has reportedly defrauded a large number of people with, of all things, a COVID-19 scheme.

According to this report from ABC News, Espinosa was arrested earlier this week on charges of theft and fraud, with her and family members running some kind of COVID-19 business relief program – under her own administration.

Charges include grand theft, a second-degree felony, as well as an organized scheme to defraud, which is a first-degree felony.

This comes from a case where she reportedly utilized $50,000 in funds through the city’s Business Boost 2.0 program for her own personal use.

“This is the local government equivalent of insider congressional stock trading,” noted Blaise Ingoglia, who serves as Florida’s chief financial officer.

Espinosa has been charged, posting a $70,000 bond and pleading not guilty to the charges.

But the details get more disturbing. According to the report, the money, provided through grant funds in the program, went towards businesses including a dance studio, a diner, and a real estate company, all owned by Espinosa’s family.

“The evidence makes it very clear that there was intent to engage in this conflict of interest that ultimately abused her office to enrich herself,” said Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier in a statement. “Mayor Espinosa demonstrated an intent to create, streamline and simplify, reduce oversight of, and more easily enable a process where by herself and immediate family could apply for and receive city funds to which she was not entitled.”

Myanmar Army: $476 and Two Sacks of Rice, the Cost of a Conscript’s Life

Burma’s (Myanmar’s) military junta has never disclosed how many people it has conscripted. When it activated the People’s Military Service Law in February 2024, the regime said it would draft 5,000 people per batch, or about 50,000 a year, from a pool of about 13 million eligible citizens. By September 2026, it had reached Batch 28.

The Myanmar Defense and Security Institute (MDSI), a research group founded by defected officers, estimates that more than 130,000 new soldiers have been recruited since the law took effect. The national quota was raised in April to 5,000 recruits weekly.

According to sources close to the regime, only about 631 of the first batch’s 5,155 recruits had been allowed to return home two years after their training began.

The law covers men aged 18 to 35, women aged 18 to 27, and professionals up to age 45. In practice, the burden falls on the poor, because wealthy families that receive a summons can pay poorer young men to serve in their place.

In Hpa-An, the Karen State capital, authorities mainly target casual laborers, masons, shop employees, and commuters. They also target internal migrant workers who fled fighting in the Ayeyarwady, Bago, Magway, and Sagaing regions. In Taunggyi, the Shan State capital, the junta abducted 140 men in a single week in November 2024, most of them drug users who were out at night.

In Mandalay, high school students have been entered into conscription lotteries, and ward administrators have threatened to arrest parents who fail to attend. Since January 2026, the junta has been compiling lists of women aged 18 to 27 in Hsihseng Township, southern Shan State.

The MDSI documented 23 child recruits, some as young as 15, at four training camps. Human Rights Watch reported that the military abducted and forcibly recruited more than 1,000 Rohingya men and boys from Rakhine State.

Ideology, Intolerance, and Emotional Reactivity Behind Unsupported Claims That Online Words and Images Cause Violence

Over the last decade, politicians, NGOs, and journalists across the West have blamed online speech for real-world political violence. In Australia recently, politicians and others blamed social media for an attack on a left-wing member of parliament, Helen Haines, who was run over by a man in his car. “We’ve got these big US social media companies and their business model, to me, seems pretty incompatible,” said Senator David Pocock after the attack. “That’s something we’ve got to look very hard at as a country and as elected representatives.” Said Bill Shorten, a former Labor leader who now runs the University of Canberra, “I think that some people, through the algorithms of the big tech bros and social media, have been radicalized online.” Mike Burgess, director-general of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO), Australia’s FBI, decried a “permissive environment of violence.” And Commissioner of the Australian Federal Police Krissy Barrett said the things politicians said online “does have a direct correlation to what we see in terms of threats and abuse.”

But it was clear within hours that the alleged attacker of the Australian MP was intoxicated and likely mentally ill, and within days it was revealed that he and his family had been friends with her for years. A source close to the investigation said he “was known to police” and that “It is understood he has undergone a mental health assessment.” People online quickly discovered that the alleged attacker had posted regularly about climate change and Gaza and that the head of the Australian Green Party followed him on X. As such, he attacked the member of Parliament closest to his apparent views, which challenges the notion that his politics motivated him. As for Barrett, she declined to give a single example of things people said online resulting in real-world violence.

Correlation is not causation. Killers may have consumed violent media, but so too did practically everyone else in society. It would make sense that would-be killers, who often fantasize about their violence before doing it, would consume more violent content. And so if there is a relationship, it could show the opposite causal direction.

Moreover, relying on the testimony of killers, many of whom suffer from personality disorders or mental illness, is irrational. The man who shot Ronald Reagan said he did so out of an obsession with Jodie Foster in Martin Scorsese’s “Taxi Driver.” Nobody proposed censoring “Taxi Driver,” Scorsese movies, or Foster, and yet politicians and bureaucrats around the world proposed mass online censorship because the Buffalo shooter said he was inspired by Christchurch.
