Interesting Articles: Mid July, 2025
After running out of weapons, Russia is now running out of soldiers ;) Also, RussiaGate, Anti-genocide-ism, Epstein fluff, Krainer on Mackinder, and an old archive resurrected.
[“Just last night, Russia again broke the record, this time walloping Ukraine with over 700+ drones and missiles in a single night.” — Simplicius]

Russia isn't running out of weapons anymore, its running out of soldiers!
Rubio Claims Russia Suffered 100k KIA in Six Months, Ukrainian Casualties Remain 'Vague' ; Simplicius; Simplicius' Garden of Knowledge; 2025-07-12
Simplicius deconstructed the obviously fraudulent basis for statistics derived by The Economist, in-line with the latest hogwash spouted by Rubio.
Comedy-Turned-Farce: Trump Pledges a Whole Ten Missiles to Ukraine ; Simplicius; Simplicius' Garden of Knowledge; 2025-07-11
In the previous article, Simplicius noted that Trump is gifting Ukraine “10 missiles” to solve this problem:
He then moved onto the economic war on Russia implemented by the EU and its leading NATO nations via piracy on the Baltic Sea:
This maritime economic blockade on Russia has been ramping up for months. It, and its counterpart in Black Sea, have been written about in British policy papers for over a year.
The West is fighting to maintain world hegemony
The Europeans And The U.S. Against Russia - Who Is Really The Patsy?; b.; Moon of Alabama; 2025-07-11
Bernard from Moon of Alabama mused on the perspectives on each side of the pond on who is using who? I can reliably inform you that outside of the Political West nobody cares.
Bernard did provide us with an accurate translation of Dmitri Trenin's recent article. It provided the less widely published and accurate analysis of the Russian foreign policy establishment on what is happening in the world, via the lens of the war in Ukraine:
The war will not end in 2025. It will not end after the end of hostilities in Ukraine.
We need to realize that the current conflict is not about Ukraine as such.
This is a proxy (so far) war of the West against Russia. And this confrontation itself is part of an ongoing world war, in which the West is fighting to maintain world hegemony.
Zombie RussiaGate: The fabrication cannot die
Brennan, MSNBC Can't Stop Lying About Trump and Russia; Matt Taibbi; Natylie's Place: Understanding Russia (republished from Substack of 2025-07-10); 2025-07-11
Irrespective of the recent mild CIA mea culpa, the guilty continue to press the case which could not be supported by years of effort and a "special counsel" DoJ/FBI investigation.
Fabrications from elements of the US deepstate are like US economic sanctions, immortal (except for rebraded Jihadists appointed in Syria).
Enoys are proliferating
Australia Unveils Plan To Fight "Antisemitism" By Crushing Free Speech; Caitlin Johnston; Caitlin's Newsletter; 2025-07-11
Australia is dutifully implementing the US/Zionist agenda and adopting unofficial officials. Oz is about to get an "envoy" to implement whatever Israel thinks is "antisemitism". Caitlin Johnstone pointed out that the envoy has no clothes by flipping an old US election aphorism:
Its about the genocide, stupid!
The 12 Day Warp
Everything You Need To Know About War With Iran (w/ Alastair Crooke); The Chris Hedges Report; Chris Hedges; Scheerpost; 2025-07-10
Hedges had Crooke on to provide the latest summary of what actually happened during the "12 Day War". Nothing particularly new here, if you've read this newsletter's article.
Is Epstein a Jewish name?
The Epstein Client List — Why is Trump Breaking His Promise to Publish?; Larry Johnson (SONAR21); Archive.today; 2025-07-10
Larry Johnson mused on reasons behind Trump's halt on releasing the Epstein files. He could do well to read "One Nation Under Blackmail" by Whitney Webb. The reason a complete list will never be released is the same reason that the JFK files were redacted before release: too many powerful people and institutions are involved in them.
Threatening to release them, and delaying it, is a useful political ploy for Trump.
Mackinder on steriods
Alex Krainer: The Russia-Iran Partnership & US-Europe Divorce; Glenn Diesen; Glenn's Substack; 2025-07-05
Krainer outlined a summary of the Mackinderian analysis which forms one of the analytic perspectives used in this newsletter. He omitted the heart of the matter, which is central Asia. The nations there must either be under control or in permanent political instability. For, if this is so, no Asia wide land based empire which could counter the maritime empire will ever form.
An Archive Resurrected
The 9/11 Timeline - #SolutionsWatch; James Corbett; The Corbett Report; 2025-07-02
The Complete 9/11 Timeline has been republished by the International Center for 9/11 Justice, whose research director is Dr. Piers Robinson. To find out how amazing this re-published, annotated, open source intelligence archive is, please listen to James Corbett interviewing IC911 Executive Director Ted Walter.
September 1, 1976-Early 1980s: Secret Intelligence Cabal Works with Rogue CIA Elements to Influence Middle East and Africa; Complete 9/11 Timeline; International Centre for 9/11 Justice
As an example of how good the thousands of entries are, here's a quote from the one (of 7000+) cited above. The ‘tied up’, mentioned below were the Church Committee hearings.
Prince Turki al-Faisal, head of Saudi intelligence from 1979, will say in a 2002 speech in the US: “In 1976, after the Watergate matters took place here, your intelligence community was literally tied up by Congress. It could not do anything. It could not send spies, it could not write reports, and it could not pay money. In order to compensate for that, a group of countries got together in the hope of fighting Communism and established what was called the Safari Club. The Safari Club included France, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and Iran.”
...
Author Joe Trento will allege that the Safari Club, and especially the Saudi intelligence agency led by Kamal Adham and then his nephew Prince Turki from 1979 onwards, fund off-the-books covert operations for the CIA. But rather than working with the CIA as it is being reformed during the Carter administration, this group prefers to work with a private CIA made up of fired agents close to ex-CIA Director George H. W. Bush and Theodore Shackley, who Trento will allege is at the center of a “private, shadow spy organization within” the CIA until he is fired in 1979. The Safari Club and rogue CIA will play a major role in supporting the mujaheddin in Afghanistan.
While under the thumb of the Church Committee hearings, a private CIA was collaborating with a foreign network of foreign intelligence organisations.
