This week the top story is my review of a new documentary, CODEX 9-11, blowing the lid off the false flag attacks of September 11th, 2001! A truly superb effort that benefits from all the researchers who came before but still exposes aspects that I had never heard before and I have read 5+ books, watched at least 10+ documentaries, dozens of short videos, and countless interviews. Really a great summation of how the magicians pulled the trick.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who supports the Art of Liberty Foundation! We simply couldn’t do what we do without the sponsors, the folks who “Go Paid” on Substack, the folks who buy and gift our books, the rock stars who are helping us to translate To See The Cage into German and Spanish, the artists who were inspired by our work and write songs about it, and the amazing team we have. It is a team effort and THANK YOU to everyone who is on Team Liberty! We are going to win this thing! REAL Freedom… Worldwide!

Our lead story and videos this week are examples of why the Art of Liberty Foundation is so needed and why we are so unique. I have been wanting to write about the incremental tyranny that is being rapidly instituted in the US, but have been bogged down with customer service issues from “The Corbett Bump” that generated hundreds and hundreds of orders from 20+ countries. We were in the process of moving to a new Internet store at ArtOfLiberty.org/store from our existing store at Government-Scam.com/store when the bump hit, and the new store wasn’t ready for prime time.

PLUS Derrick Broze’s The Pyramid of Power is now streaming… on CiVL! Dear Subscribers,Short message this week. It took me a couple of weeks to dig myself out after our drives around the United States and Florida in June and July and the avalanche of book orders from the Corbett Report (and their attendant shipping issues to 20+ countries, customer service issues, and getting Amazon resupplied after selling out twice!) BUT… I can see the light at the end of the tunnel…I am stationary and ready to get back to work on my upcoming book: Voluntaryism! I expect to begin dropping articles on the Substack starting next week! Feels good to be writing again!Etienne Note: One of the metaphors in “The Matrix” was how hard it is to free one single mind from the (Propaganda) Matrix. Think about all the effort that went into freeing just Neo. There are essentially two groups of people on the planet.1. Those who understand that information about what is really going on (9-11, “The Covid,” the complete illegitimacy of “government,” the harmfulness of “vaccines” etc.) is being censored and controlled by a monopoly media system that includes the algorithmic censorship of the DARPA Internet AND 2. Those that don’t OR pretend not to understand to keep their jobs OR those who remain willfully ignorant because they don’t have the mental fortitude to deal with reality of the situation.Top Stories of the WeekHow to Leave the Cage – James Corbett & Etienne de la Boetie2Etienne Note: Get your popcorn on for this one and throw this up on the big screen.

Unlike traditional white LEDs used in grow operations, which focus mostly on light intensity, this approach uses specific wavelengths of light that plants actually respond to. Think of it as speaking a plant’s native language — instead of shouting the entire light spectrum.“Plants don’t just need light. They need the right signals at the right time. What we are doing is providing them with a language they understand,” says Bhola.And plants are clearly listening. In a recent study, crops grown under Symbiotic Systems’ LEDs showed a fivefold increase in beta-caryophyllene, a potent medicinal compound found in basil and cannabis. Each plant responds to different light cues, so this tech can be optimized by wavelength to encourage faster growth, greater resilience, and enhanced nutritional value.Continue readingThe Fast-Approaching Digital Control GridBy StudyFinds Analysis, Reviewed by Steve FinkScientists created an AI called Centaur that can predict human behavior across any psychological experiment with unprecedented accuracyThe AI outperformed decades-old specialized models and successfully predicted behavior in completely new scenarios it had never seen beforeCentaur’s internal workings became more aligned with human brain activity just by learning to predict our choices, potentially revolutionizing our understanding of cognitionMUNICH — An artificial intelligence system can now predict your next move before you make it.

An official autopsy, corroborated by a joint investigation from the Department of Justice and FBI, concluded that the disgraced financier died by suicide through hanging.Continue readingTrump’s EPA Fights Court Ruling on Fluoride’s Harmsby Veronika KyrylenkoThe Trump administration’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues a major legal battle that began nearly 10 years ago. Earlier this month, the EPA officially filed an appeal against a federal court ruling that found that fluoride in drinking water poses a risk to children’s brain development.The case, originally filed by parents and the Fluoride Action Network (FAN), challenged the EPA’s 2016 decision to reject a petition under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). That petition sought a ban on adding fluoride to public drinking water due to health concerns.Now, the unconstitutional agency has chosen to press forward with the appeal first initiated in the final days of the Biden administration.In September 2024, U.S. District Judge Edward Chen ruled that the fluoridation of water at the standard level of 0.7 milligrams per liter “poses an unreasonable risk of reduced IQ in children.”Continue readingPayPal to let U.S. merchants accept payment in more than 100 cryptocurrenciesby Tyler DurdenVia Brian McGlinchey at Stark RealitiesWhen asked how far the US government has plunged into the red, many fiscally-conscious Americans will tell you the national debt has reached $37 trillion. As distressing as that official number is, America’s true fiscal situation is even worse — far worse. According to a barely-publicized Treasury report, the actual grand total of Uncle Sam’s obligations is more than $151 trillion.That huge discrepancy springs from the fact that the federal government doesn’t hold itself to the same accounting standards it imposes on businesses. Rather than using accrual accounting — which recognizes expenses when they’re incurred — our Washington overlords self-servingly use simple cash accounting, only recognizing expenses when they’re paid. As a result, discourse on federal obligations solely focuses on the national debt, comprising Treasury bills, notes and bonds.Continue readingThink Uncle Sam Owes $37 Trillion?

It occurs naturally in trace amounts in kratom. Products containing 7-OH have potentially dangerous, enhanced levels and are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced the recommendation on June 29, stating that the 7-OH should be scheduled under the Controlled Substances Act because of its ability to bind to opioid receptors, which makes it a pain reliever that can be more powerful than morphine.HHS noted that it is focused on a concentrated byproduct of the kratom plant and not natural kratom products.Here’s what to know about the synthetic opioid.Continue Reading…YFQ-44A Unmanned Jets Will Fly With the F-47 Sixth Generation FighterThe US Air force is making YFQ-42A and YFQ-44A unmanned jets that will fly with the F-47 sixth generation fighter. There will be about five drones for eachby Brian Wang, nextbigfuture.comThe US Air force is making YFQ-42A and YFQ-44A unmanned jets that will fly with the F-47 sixth generation fighter. There will be about five drones for each F-47 fighter. Over 1,000 of the unmanned aircraft are planned. the unmanned jets will start operating first from 2025-2029 while the F-47 will start prototype flights in 2027. The YFQ-42A and YFQ-44A and F-47 systems will be built and designed to work together. The NGAD program is an overall plan for manned and unmanned aircraft, rather than a specific individual aircraft.These aircraft, from Increment 1 of the Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) contract, are designed to work closely in tandem with sixth generation aircraft like the F-47 in order to provide force multiplication with additional payload capacity, sensor picket capabilities, and decoy missions.Continue readingPolice nationwide are embracing a new first responder: Dronesby Marie-Rose SheinermanIn dozens of U.S. cities, the next time you call 911, a drone might show up before an officer does.The technology behind that — “Drone as First Responder,” or DFR — has skyrocketed in popularity among police departments nationwide since the Federal Aviation Administration streamlined the process for agencies to adopt the program this spring. While it could previously take up to a year to get approval, it now often takes just days.Law enforcement and drone industry leaders praise the technology as lifesaving, with the potential to help authorities in situations ranging from missing persons cases to active shooter incidents. But critics worry the programs encourage mass surveillance and violate the public’s privacy.“When you have a camera in the sky that can see things that police officers can’t normally see, that offers a huge potential for privacy invasion,” said Beryl Lipton, a senior researcher with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital rights group.Continue readingWorld’s first nuclear fusion plant being built in US to power Microsoft data centersby Prabhat Ranjan MishraA Washington-based company has started the construction of a nuclear fusion facility in Chelan County, Orion. Helion Energy aims to produce low-cost, clean electric energy using a fuel derived from water.The plan is to produce electricity from fusion by 2028 and supply the power to Microsoft data centres.“Today is an important day – not just for Helion, but for the entire fusion industry – as we unleash a new era of energy independence and industrial renewal,” said David Kirtley, Helion’s co-founder and CEO.“Since we founded the company, we have been completely focused on preparing fusion technology for commercialization and getting electrons on the grid. Starting site work brings us one step closer to that vision.”The energy company, focused on generating zero-carbon electricity, choose the Chelan County site for its ready access to transmission and legacy of energy innovation.Continue readingAging Spreads Through The Body Like An Infection, And This Protein Could Be To BlameBy StudyFinds Analysis, Reviewed by Steve FinkAbstract representation of aging (senescent) cells, depicting the gradual decline and transformation of biological structures over time, symbolizing the natural process of cellular deterioration and renewal. (© dang – stock.adobe.com)Aging may spread through the body via a protein called HMGB1, which sends pro-aging signals between cells—depending on its chemical state.Only the “reduced” form of HMGB1 triggers aging, causing healthy cells to stop dividing and release inflammatory molecules.Injecting this protein into mice induced signs of aging, while blocking it improved healing and physical performance in older animals.The findings suggest new paths for anti-aging treatments, including drugs that block HMGB1 or its downstream effects.SEOUL, South Korea — Researchers have identified a molecular culprit behind one of biology’s most puzzling phenomena: how cellular aging spreads from one part of the body to another, potentially accelerating the overall aging process.Continue readingThe Boomer Mirageby Joshua StylmanI saw this chart making the rounds on Twitter this week, and it stopped me cold. While the specific figures combine data from multiple sources, the trend is undeniable: in 1950, over half of 30-year-olds were married homeowners. By 2025, some analysts project that number as low as 13%.That’s not a societal transformation. It’s not an economic fluke. It’s the visible outcome of an invisible strategy—one that extracted everything it could from a three-generation arc and left only illusions in its place.They’ll tell you people just choose differently now—that marriage rates fell because of changing values. But people can’t choose what they can’t afford. When the economic foundation for family formation disappears, cultural changes follow inevitably. That chart doesn’t show us changing values or new priorities. It shows systemic breakdown, disguised for decades as freedom.Continue readingDARPA’s Theory of Mind Warfareby Matt SmithThe Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has an initiative called the Theory of Mind program. This effort is designed to give national security decision-makers the ability to model, simulate, and ultimately anticipate the intentions and behaviors of adversaries using a combination of advanced algorithms and human expertise.At its core, the program aims to:Build algorithmic models that “decompose” adversary strategies into elemental behaviors.Use massive data—signals intelligence, open-source information, even social media—to create high-fidelity “avatars” of enemy decision-makers.Simulate possible responses to a range of U.S. and allied actions, exploring which ones best deter, incentivize, or nudge adversaries toward preferred outcomes.Integrate insights from psychological profiling and machine learning to continually update these models as real-world conditions shift.Continue readingFed a Lie — The Truth About Seed Oilsby Dr. Joseph MercolaUltraprocessed vegetable oils have quietly become one of the most dominant and pernicious ingredients in the modern diet. They have driven a dramatic rise in linoleic acid (LA) intake over the past centuryThe documentary, “Fed a Lie: The Truth About Seed Oils,” reveals how marketing, subsidies, and flawed science replaced traditional animal fats with industrially produced oils made from soy, corn, cottonseed, and other cropsClinical and epidemiological studies have linked seed oil consumption to increased oxidative stress, inflammation, mitochondrial damage, cancer risk, and cardiovascular dysfunction, despite being touted as “healthy” fatsAncestral populations thrived on diets rich in saturated fat but free from processed seed oils. This allowed them low rates of chronic disease, even with widely varying macronutrient profilesContinue readingWho’s Responsible When No One’s Responsible for Driving?By ericTesla has just been found liable for the death of one person and the severe injury of another after one of its “self driving” cars ran over and killed a couple back in 2019. Twenty-two-year-old Naibel Benavides Leon and her boyfriend, Dillon Angulo, were out watching the night sky by the side of the road when the “self-driving” Tesla ran them down, killing Leon and almost killing Angulo. A Florida jury has ordered Tesla to pay the victims $243 million in damages.There are several interesting things about the case, the first thing being that – somehow – Tesla “lost” the video recording of the crash and also the data stream recorded by the car. A “mistake” was made, Tesla claimed. The same kind of mistake that was made the night Epstein didn’t kill himself, probably.The more interesting thing, however, is the liability precedent that has – at last – been set. Tesla has until now wriggled out of liability for the other crashes that have happened when a “self-driving” Tesla ran into something or someone by pointing out that it has always made it clear that the driver must “pay constant attention” and “be prepared to act immediately” at all times when the self-driving system is engaged – so as to be able to apply the brakes or steer when the tech fails to recognize/react to another vehicle (or person) in the path of the vehicle.Continue readingQuick Take…Are Digital IDs coming piecemeal?by Kit KnightlyI’m starting to think a full-scale, nationwide compulsory digital ID won’t ever be a thing. Not officially, anyway. Not for quite a while.It’s a vibe I feel coming off the news that gels more with the current methodology – the indirect authoritarianism of the easier path. Piecemeal tyranny washed in on waves of convenience.According to a 2023 report (which resurfaced last week for some reason), in the near future, British citizens will likely need electronic “Carbon Passports” to travel. These will be digital documents that track and limit your travel based on carbon emissions.During Covid, digital “vaccine passes” were needed to differentiate those who had been vaccinated from those who had not. If and when another “pandemic” rolls around, they will be used again.From the end of this year, British driver’s licenses will be digital and accessed through the government’s wallet app. In the future, your road tax will be paid via GPS tracking of your car, linked to your driver’s license.Continue readingRobot skin’ beats human reflexes, transforms grip with fabric-powered touchby Aamir KhollamRobots have become remarkably advanced, capable of executing complex tasks with impressive accuracy, speed, and coordination. Yet, despite these leaps, they often struggle with something fundamental like sensing and responding to touch.That limitation may soon change.A team from the University at Buffalo has developed an electronic textile (E-textile) that mimics how human skin senses pressure, slippage, and movement.This innovation enables robotic fingers to react in real time, tightening or loosening grip as needed, a significant upgrade in dexterity.The breakthrough could transform how robots interact with physical objects in collaborative environments like manufacturing, surgery, and prosthetics.It represents a notable step toward more sensitive and responsive machines, especially in settings that demand fine motor control.Continue readingMapped: Speeding Ticket Costs by StateEtienne Note: It obviously isn’t about the speeding. It is about raising revenue on the tax slaves for what is a victimless crime. In a voluntaryist world, road owners would have no incentive to keep speeds low to maximize fines and fees.

The biggest losers are America’s children.The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the major professional association of North American pediatricians, has overseen the rising rates of chronic illness and medicating of American children over recent decades. With 67,000 members in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, AAP distinguished itself during Covid-19 for its strident insistence that children’s faces should be covered and they should be injected with modified RNA vaccines, despite knowing from early 2020 that severe Covid-19 was very rare in healthy children.Funded by sources including Moderna, Merck, Sanofi, GSK, Eli Lilly, and other pharmaceutical companies, the AAP’s members are the cornerstone of the rapidly increasing pediatric pharma market in North America – by far greater than any other region. As a professional organization dedicated to ensuring income for its members, the AAP is like any similar professional association or union and acts in this manner.Continue readingFDA approves breakthrough eye drops that fix near vision without glassesby Bronwyn ThompsonThe first aceclidine-based eye drop to improve near vision in adults with presbyopia, which affects more than 100 million adults in the US alone, has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and will be available within three months.Known as VIZZ, from pharmaceutical company LENZ, the drops are an aceclidine ophthalmic solution that effectively treats presbyopia in adults. The once-daily drops offer relief from blurry near. vision for up to 10 hours.”The FDA approval of VIZZ is a defining moment for LENZ and represents a transformative improvement in the available treatment options for the 128 million adults living with blurry near vision in the United States,” said Eef Schimmelpennink, President and Chief Executive Officer of LENZ Therapeutics. “This significant milestone is the result of tremendous commitment and collaboration by the LENZ team and our partners, the dedication of our clinical investigators, and the contributions of hundreds of participants in our clinical trials.”Continue readingChinese Company Unitree Introduces Agile Robot Dog that Can Perform Impressive Stuntsby Futurism, needtoknow.newsThe Solactive China Humanoid Robotics Index that tracks Chinese companies involved in the commercialization of humanoid and robotics technologies jumped more than 4% on Wednesday after Chinese robotics firm Unitree released a stunning video of its new robot dog.

He highlights how it has resulted in age-gating innocuous material, such as speeches on grooming gangs or historical blog posts, under the guise of child protection, while failing to include robust free speech safeguards.Young argues this creates a chilling effect, with companies over-censoring to comply, and expresses concern that the Labour government, under figures like Peter Kyle, will strengthen it further rather than repeal it.Continue reading9 studies vaxxed vs. unvaxxed, all published in the peer-reviewed literature, show vaccinated are worse off in every measureby Steve KirschAnthony R.
