00:00 The Midweek Update - Is Religious War London’s Last Shot at Trump? - August 12, 2026
01:22 The London Lineage of Mamdani, Abdul El-Sayed and Barack Hussein Obama
08:20 The “London–Soros–Obama” Apparatus Targets Trump
12:16 What President Trump Is Doing to Confront This

Barbara Boyd argues that British intelligence and allied Democrats are stoking U.S. religious conflict around Gaza, Iran, and Islam to target Donald Trump and the midterms, citing media narratives, claims about Israel’s influence, and a Texas proposal to ban hijabs and halal food.

She links New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, and Barack Obama to a London–Soros–Obama network, highlighting their biographies, Rhodes/Columbia and NYPIRG connections, and Democratic Socialists’ attempts to delete or soften past “woke” positions tied to 2020 unrest.

Boyd claims Britain has long used the Muslim Brotherhood and engineered Middle East sectarianism since Sykes-Picot, and similarly “invented” communism as a tool against industrial rivals.

She says Trump is countering this with limited Iran action, economic pressure, Gulf “Board of Peace” efforts, and a renewed focus on rebuilding a productive, nuclear-powered economy.

CIA had ‘low confidence’ in Trump assassination plot claims – WaPo
The intelligence on the alleged threat reportedly originated from Israel and was met with skepticism by American spies

August 13, 2026

The US intelligence community doubted reports of an Iranian plot to kill President Donald Trump by shooting down Air Force One as it departed a NATO summit in Türkiye, the Washington Post has reported. Their assessment was reportedly conveyed to the administration, yet the Secret Service still opted to covertly move Trump to another aircraft.

US media broke the story of the clandestine maneuver this Monday. On leaving the meeting, Trump abruptly switched from his new Qatari-gifted Boeing 747-8 to the previous Air Force One, but it turned out he secretly left that aircraft as well in an airport catering truck, flying aboard a smaller military plane to the UK. He is said to have reboarded the older Air Force One there to create the impression that he was on it the entire time.

CIA analysts were highly skeptical of intelligence on an imminent assassination plot and conveyed that position to the administration. Reports about the threat were “Israeli-derived, not US-generated, and viewed as low confidence,” an unnamed intel official told the Post.

The latest report adds more color to the whole affair, which has already sparked a major scandal. Reporters and many high-ranking officials were left in the dark about Trump’s maneuver and the perceived threat. Journalists felt they had been treated like “unwitting and unknowing decoys very much in the line of fire,” CNN senior reporter Aaron Blake has said.

Trump admitted to switching planes on Tuesday, insisting he was only doing what the Secret Service considered the best course of action. “I go by Secret Service and the military. They wanted me to go in a different flight, different plane. I just have to do what they say,” Trump told reporters.

The scandal also coincides with the departure of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who announced on Wednesday she would leave her position at the end of the month “so she can spend more time” with her family. The 28-year-old, who became a mother for the second time in May, returned to the White House after a hiatus in June. Leavitt’s abrupt departure has sprouted theories that she was among the unwitting officials left on the decoy aircraft and that the affair may have been the final straw for her.

"Many Sailors Injured and Killed, Others Jump From USS Abraham Lincoln" | Douglas Macgregor
In this interview, Colonel Douglas Macgregor discusses a growing crisis inside the United States, the strain on the U.S. military, and the consequences of maintaining a long-term military presence in the Middle East. He argues that Washington has lost focus on protecting American interests at home while continuing to commit resources overseas.
Macgregor also addresses the controversy surrounding U.S. policy toward Israel, arguing that what he describes as an “Israel first” approach is creating serious strategic problems for Washington. He discusses reports involving sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, including claims of sailors jumping overboard and reports of injuries and deaths amid what he describes as severe pressure on crews serving at sea for extended periods.

The discussion then turns to the Persian Gulf and Iran, with Macgregor questioning why the United States remains involved in the region and warning about the potential consequences of continued military escalation. He argues that prolonged operations, economic pressure, and overseas deployments could further weaken U.S. military readiness and increase the risk of a broader U.S.–Iran conflict.
The interview also examines the wider Middle East war, U.S. military strategy, Israel, Iran, and the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, while connecting regional tensions to America’s broader geopolitical challenges. Macgregor further discusses political polarization, economic instability, government power, and the possibility of deeper social unrest inside the United States.

John Hilton posted this on the Breaking News thread, but I thought it deserved a place here. The media has made an industry of bashing Trump, and they rarely report his successes and even when they do they don't attribute those successes to his policies. To find the Trump administration's successes you need to read trade or business publications. Case in point.....................

Apple officially opened its new Advanced Manufacturing Center in Houston, Texas. The 20,000-square-foot learning and training hub sits inside the larger Houston production campus that already builds AI servers and is slated to begin Mac mini production later this year. Apple's broader $600 billion domestic investment plan is a massive, four-year commitment to bring advanced tech manufacturing and supply chains back to the United States. The company accelerated its domestic spending goal to the $600 billion level in response to a push from the U.S. government to localize critical tech production.

Core Goals of the $600 Billion Plan

• Reshore the Tech Supply Chain: Move production of high-tech parts, rare earth materials and advanced packaging to U.S. soil.
• Job Creation: Directly adds 20,000 new American jobs while supporting over 450,000 existing supplier roles.
• Build End-to-End Silicon: Creates an American network for microchips so Apple does not rely entirely on overseas factories.

“This opening is an important step in Apple delivering on its promise to bring its manufacturing back to America,” said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick. “With this Advanced Manufacturing Center, Apple will equip American workers with the skills they need to lead the next generation of technology.”

And That's A Good Thing !!!

Today, at my direction, Dr. Mehmet Oz announced that Medicaid will NO LONGER fund gender transition surgeries and hormones for minors. We are not going to pay for our innocent children to undergo these barbaric surgeries and practices, which result in unthinkable and irreversible harm to their young bodies. Thanks to our strong position and pressure on this issue over the past year and a half, dozens of U.S. hospitals have already ended this so-called “gender-affirming care,” and we expect many more to follow.

Just think about all of the young, innocent, and perhaps confused children who will be spared!

While the Dumocrat Party wants your kids to be able to chop off their reproductive organs before they are old enough to vote, President Donald J. Trump (ME!) and the Republican Party say that is ABSURD, and we will protect America’s children.

Please remember this when you are casting your vote in the Midterm Elections in November. Thank you for your attention to this very important matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the U.S. is escalating economic isolation measures against Iran and forecasts the Strait of Hormuz will become “irrelevant” within two years, while Energy Secretary Chris Wright argues shipping continues under escorts and rerouting, citing 8–9 million barrels/day still moving through the strait plus 6 million diverted via expanding pipelines.

The episode frames this as part of a broader strategy since March 2025 targeting Iran’s financial networks while expanding alternative energy supplies, including increased U.S. production, changes in Venezuela, UAE production outside old OPEC quotas, and Iraq pipeline deals to bypass Hormuz, alongside a nuclear power “renaissance.”

It highlights remarks at Chatham House by Lebanese adviser Jean Aziz blaming Henry Kissinger’s 1976 actions for decades of conflict and IRGC entanglement, and Qatar’s Majed Al-Ansari describing a regional Gaza “20-point plan” leading to a Washington-based Board of Peace meeting on Feb. 19, 2026.

US won’t allow Gaza reconstruction until Hamas disarms – Kushner
Trump’s peace envoy said Gaza would not be rebuilt if it could be “taken over by terrorists or blown up again”

August 18, 2026

The US would not allow the reconstruction of Gaza until the Palestinian enclave is fully demilitarized, President Donald Trump’s peace envoy Jared Kushner said following meetings with Hamas officials and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, held a rare meeting with Hamas officials in Cairo on Sunday and spoke with Netanyahu the following day. According to the envoy, Hamas had reaffirmed its support for Trump’s peace plan and committed to “giving up their weapons.”

“Time will tell whether that’s going to be implemented,” Kushner told Fox News’ Trey Yingst.

“We have a plan to rebuild Gaza, but we will not allow Gaza to be rebuilt until the demilitarisation occurs,” Kushner said. “Nobody wants to put more money into a place that’s gone on for so long if it’s just going to be taken over by terrorists or blown up again,” he added.

Kushner said the US was “not going to restrict Israel’s right to defend itself if there are any imminent threats.”

Netanyahu rejected Trump’s 15-point plan, saying last week that the Israeli army would not withdraw from Gaza until Hamas completely disarms. Hamas officials, however, insisted that an Israeli withdrawal and an end to “all forms of aggression” were a “fundamental prerequisite” for the group’s disarmament.

The UN and human rights groups, both in Israel and abroad, have accused Israel of systematically targeting civilians and destroying civilian infrastructure, including high-rise buildings, during its war with Hamas. More than 73,000 people have been killed in Gaza since October 2023, and nearly all of the densely populated enclave’s pre-war population of 2 million have been displaced. Far-right Israeli politicians have argued that the Palestinian population should be driven out and Gaza resettled by Israelis.

Israel has denied deliberately targeting civilians and blamed Hamas for the destruction in Gaza.

At least 92% of Gaza’s housing units were either fully destroyed or damaged between October 2023 and October 2025, according to the UN. The organization’s special rapporteur on housing, Balakrishnan Rajagopal, described the devastation as domicide, defined as “the widespread or systematic destruction of housing and civilian infrastructure essential to the survival of a population.”

Last year, Trump unveiled a plan to redevelop Gaza into a “Riviera of the Middle East” and floated the idea of removing Palestinians and resettling them elsewhere. The proposal was promptly rejected by Arab states, the EU and the UN.

12:00 Why the USS Lincoln Story Blows Back on Them

Barbara Boyd argues the BBC/New York Times story about US sailors jumping off the USS Lincoln in the Persian Gulf is a psychological warfare operation aimed at undermining Donald Trump and will backfire by attacking Americans’ belief in troop resilience.

Citing comments from Afghanistan veteran Joey Jones and Navy Secretary Hung Cao, she criticizes media and Democrats for portraying service members as victims and notes Iran’s exploitation of the narrative.

Boyd frames the Iran conflict as focused on keeping oil and gas prices stable and preventing an Iranian nuclear weapon, while contending Iran has long used threats to the Strait of Hormuz to inflate an “oil and gas premium” tied to the petrodollar system and London finance.

She links modern propaganda to Bertrand Russell, the Tavistock Institute, RAND “swarming,” and NATO cognitive warfare, and calls for countering the “color revolution” apparatus ahead of the midterms.

Trump threatens to ‘bomb the sh*t out of’ Oman
Tehran and Muscat are discussing a parallel Hormuz deal as talks with Washington stall

August 17, 2026

US President Donald Trump has threatened to “bomb the sh*t out of” Oman if it strikes a separate deal with Iran on control of the Strait of Hormuz, despite Oman’s key role as a mediator between Washington and Tehran.

In addition to brokering talks between the US and Iran, Omani negotiators have been conducting parallel negotiations with Tehran aimed at establishing a safe route for shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran reportedly wants to charge fees for safe passage of the strait after an interim period, and Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei told reporters on Monday that Iran had reached an “understanding” with Oman on the matter.

Asked about these Omani-Iranian talks, Trump told Fox News that “if Oman gets in the way, we’ll bomb the sh*t out of them.”

The US rejects any agreement that would involve Iran collecting tolls, and Washington has signaled that it will not lift its blockade on Iranian ports unless Tehran relinquishes this demand. Speaking in New York on Friday, Trump claimed that the Islamic Republic was “very badly defeated,” and that he would soon “be declaring the Strait of Hormuz a territory of the US.”

A memorandum of understanding signed by the US and Iran in June set a 60-day window to bring the conflict to an end and reopen the strait. The memorandum expired without a deal, and with both sides threatening escalation, on Monday.

A senior Iranian official told Reuters that Iran is prepared “to escalate tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and wider region” if diplomacy fails, and to launch “timely and precise strikes” to break the US naval blockade if necessary. Trump did not reply directly to this threat in his comments to Fox News, but demanded that Iran “raise the white flag of surrender.”

In a post on X on Saturday, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi urged Trump to “accept the reality” that the US had suffered “strategic and heavy defeats.”

“The Strait of Hormuz has been Iranian, is Iranian, and will remain Iranian,” Gharibabadi wrote, adding that the waterway “will only be closed and opened under Iran’s command.”

US-Israeli strikes on Iran in late February prompted Tehran to close the Strait of Hormuz, with Washington responding by imposing a naval blockade of Iranian ports. The blockade disrupted traffic through one of the world’s most important energy corridors, sending global oil prices soaring to as high as $120 a barrel.

U.S. Treasury — Targeting Iran’s Shadow Banking and Weapons Network:
https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-...

Is the Trump administration dismantling the offshore financial system that has looted nations for decades—and is Scott Bessent laying the foundation for a new global economic order?

In this overview, Mike Steger examines the network of tax havens, shell companies, shadow banks, arms dealers, and financial institutions that he argues has extracted wealth from developing nations while financing corrupt regimes, terrorism, and global instability.

Mike traces the system back to the City of London and its web of British-linked offshore jurisdictions, including the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Jersey, the Isle of Man, and the British Virgin Islands. He argues that this “global casino” diverts money away from factories, infrastructure, hospitals, research, and national development into an economy that produces nothing.

The discussion then turns to Iran and Ali Ansari, an Iranian businessman sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury. Mike examines how Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s “Operation Economic Fury” is targeting Iran’s shadow-banking network, access to cryptocurrency, offshore shell companies, and international weapons market.

Mike also explores the economic pressure facing Iran, including inflation, rising living costs, labor unrest, and protests by retirees, nurses, bakers, and factory workers. He argues that these measures are intended to separate the Iranian people from a regime that has redirected the nation’s wealth toward terrorism and warfare.

The final section examines the global currency system. Mike traces today’s speculative currency markets back to the end of Bretton Woods in 1971 and explains why stable exchange rates are essential for long-term industrial investment.

He then examines Scott Bessent’s reported intervention involving the Japanese yen and what it could signal about the future: support for nations pursuing industrial revitalization, fair trade, stable currencies, and national development.

Could this be the opening move toward a new Bretton Woods system—and a global realignment led by the United States?

Trump declares Hormuz ‘new US territory’
Tehran has dismissed the US president’s cryptic claim on the strategic waterway as “delusional”

August 18, 2026

Iran has called US President Donald Trump “delusional” after he proclaimed the Strait of Hormuz a “new US territory.”

Trump made the claim on the strategic waterway, which remains heavily disrupted due to the ongoing standoff, in a post on Truth Social on Tuesday. The US president shared a map of the strait and its environs with an area circled out and labeled as “New territory of the United States.”

The post promptly elicited a reaction in Tehran, with Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi condemning Trump’s “delusions” and warning Iran would “correct” them. At the same time, he commended Trump for managing to “correctly write the name of the eternal Persian Gulf,” apparently referring to the reported intentions of the US president to rebrand the waterway as the ‘Arab Gulf.’
