🚨 BREAKING UPDATE: Spain's Civil Guard chief declares the border has "TOTALLY COLLAPSED," per @BillMelugin_ THOUSANDS of military-aged African men have poured over the border in the past several hours. This is because Spain just gave AMNESTY to illegals. All amnesty does is ENCOURAGE more illegal immigration.

The PREP Act, aka “medical malpractice martial law,” was implemented for COVID by Trump’s HHS Director in 2020. It was extended by Biden’s HHS, and is STILL IN PLACE today. If you are harmed by the jabs, remdesivir, test kits, masks, or any other countermeasure, you can’t sue!

Woah. Bret Weinstein just revealed that a 2012 law quietly dismantled the Bill of Rights. And almost no one noticed. “All the rights in the Bill of Rights became privileges the day that Barack Obama signed NDAA 2012.” “The NDAA of 2012 … said: until the end of hostilities in the Global War on Terror, we can pull you off any street in the world.” “We don’t have to admit that we have you.” “You don’t have the right to see a lawyer, to see the evidence against you.” “All that has to happen is the President needs to decide that you’re a terrorist or a supporter of them.” And a federal court ruling later decided that we don’t even know how many people have been legally disappeared under that law. “Lots of people are missing.” “We don’t know if any of those are missing because of the provisions of NDAA 2012.” Obama signed the NDAA 2012 on December 31. Why is that important? “By signing late in the day on New Year’s Eve in Hawaii, the rest of the country was already drunk, and it didn’t show up in The New York Times the next day.” Leslie Manookian: “This is why I say we live in a post-constitutional order.” “In that same NDAA, they repealed the Smith-Mundt Act … which prohibited the CIA from propagandizing Americans.” “They said: don’t worry, we’re not setting up a program, and we don’t have any funding for it.” “Well, in 2015 and 2016, they set up the program and funded it.” @BretWeinstein @LeslieManookian

Anthropic maintains that it is entitled to train for free on all the world’s output, even if the author objects. But if a competitor trains on Anthropic’s output after paying for it, that is IP theft. The hypocrisy is breathtaking.
Ole Lehmann@itsolelehmann

btw anthropic's internal document on this literally said "we don't want it to be known that we are working on this.” it was called project panama. here's exactly what happened: 1: anthropic concluded that books were the cheapest way to build a world-class model because they gave claude curated facts, structured arguments, compelling stories, and writing “an editor would approve of.” 2: once anthropic decided it needed books at enormous scale, its first solution was piracy. it downloaded 7m+ books from online libraries including libgen. the judge later wrote that although anthropic had legal ways to buy them, it chose piracy to avoid what dario amodei called the “legal/practice/business slog.” 3: that piracy created a massive legal risk. so in february 2024, anthropic hired tom turvey, the former head of partnerships for google books, to find a legally safer way of obtaining “all the books in the world.” 4: turvey first contacted major publishers about licensing their catalogs. those attempts didn’t produce agreements, so anthropic chose a route that required no publisher permission: buying millions of physical books through distributors and used-book retailers. 5: within about a year, anthropic spent tens of millions acquiring and scanning millions of books, including many rare and 1/1 titles. one vendor proposal targeted 500,000 to 2 million books in six months. 6: to scan that many books within months, the vendors physically dismantled them. a hydraulic cutter removed each spine. the pages were trimmed to size, fed as loose sheets through high-speed industrial scanners, and converted into searchable PDFs. the paper remains were then sent for recycling. 7: these PDFs were fed into claude as training data. the complete collection became a private, searchable anthropic library that the company planned to “store forever.” the scans aren’t available to the public and were never open-sourced.

I'm a second-generation bookseller. My family runs Houston's largest used & rare bookstore and I'm building an AI tool for used bookstores. We got hit by exactly these orders, including a single order for 70 obscure books that made us pause online sales entirely. So I dug in. I don't think this connects the way people want it to. Every ingredient of the viral story is true. ISBNdb really does advertise sourcing books for AI companies. Anthropic really did destructively scan millions of books though they were mostly acquired through things like library deaccessions, not bookstore inventory. And booksellers really are getting bizarre bulk orders. But "rare" here isn't what you're picturing. It's The Insider's Guide to Metro Denver (1995) and how-to-use-WordPerfect 1991 manuals. Obscure, but often not precious. When we combed through our orders, nearly every book bought from us was either unavailable on Amazon or listed there at 5, 10, 20x our price on the platform they were purchased on. And the shipments are going to FBA prep companies: which is what you do with a book you're about to resell, not one you're about to cut apart. There is more than circumstantial evidence that this is a well-funded company running algorithmic arbitrage, buying underpriced or out-of-stock books to relist on Amazon at markup. This evidence includes an official denial that they are selling to train AI but I don't want to mention them for several reasons. You can Google it. That's more mundane than the shredder story. The actual risk is worse, though, because it's quieter: books that don't sell via FBA eventually get liquidated. If we really hold the last copies of some of these (and comparing platforms, it looks like we might) we're feeding them into a portal they may not come back from. No AI company required. Everyone assumes the internet preserved everything. It didn't. Many of these books have almost no metadata anywhere, just a scattered listings across proprietary databases then nothing. That's what my project is for: building better bibliographic records for these books than exist anywhere else, so we at least have a map of what we stand to lose. So the Library of Alexandria is still burning, just more slowly, and kore from “who cares” than from some cinematic villain. (I am open to being corrected.)

🦔AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they're free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain "all the books in the world." My Take This got to me. A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email. ISBNdb's website literally says "'AI company destroys two million books' is not a headline that generates sympathy," and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it "digital preservation." I've covered AI companies scraping the internet, torrenting libraries, and stealing music. This is worse because it's irreversible. You can re-upload a website. You can reprint a bestseller. You can't replace the last three copies of an 18th-century botanical text once someone shreds them for training data. And the judge said it's legal. So it's going to accelerate. "We shred rare books and offer NDAs so nobody finds out" is a legitimate business model in 2026. What a timeline. Hedgie🤗

Winston Churchill, Zionism versus Bolshevism, 1920. A struggle for the soul of the Jewish People. In February 1920 Winston Churchill wrote a newspaper article so direct, so honest, and so politically explosive that no politician alive today could publish it without being destroyed within the hour. It appeared in a Sunday newspaper. It named names. It called out ideologies. It identified factions. It used language that would end careers in 2026 before the ink dried. And it has been sitting in a free public archive online for years while most people have never heard of it. The article is called Zionism versus Bolshevism: A Struggle for the Soul of the Jewish People. Churchill was not yet Prime Minister when he wrote it. He was 45 years old, a senior cabinet minister, and one of the most consequential political minds in the British Empire. He wrote it because he believed a battle was taking place inside Jewish civilization itself that would determine the fate of the Western world. And he was not subtle about it. Before you read any further, understand something about the historical context that changes how you process everything in this article. In 2026 the idea that Jewish people were disproportionately represented in Bolshevik leadership is treated in mainstream discourse as a conspiracy theory, the kind of thing that gets accounts banned and careers ended. In 1920 it was not a conspiracy theory. It was common political knowledge discussed openly by senior British politicians in mainstream Sunday newspapers. Churchill was not writing something radical or fringe. He was writing something that every informed person in the British political class already knew and discussed openly. The composition of the Bolshevik leadership was public record. Trotsky was Jewish. Zinoviev was Jewish. Kamenev was Jewish. The disproportionate Jewish representation in the Cheka and Soviet institutions was documented in contemporaneous reports from journalists, diplomats, and intelligence services of multiple countries. Churchill was not revealing a secret. He was writing about common knowledge in the same tone that a modern journalist would write about the demographic composition of Wall Street or Silicon Valley. The fact that this common knowledge of 1920 has been reclassified as conspiracy theory by 2026 is itself one of the most significant and least discussed transformations in the history of Western public discourse. It did not happen because the underlying facts changed. The facts are the same. What changed was what you are allowed to say about them. Churchill starts with something that would make any modern editor sweat. He calls Jewish people beyond all question the most formidable and most remarkable race that has ever appeared in the world. He means it as an observation about extraordinary collective capacity, not a slur. His entire argument is built on this premise. Extraordinary capacity cuts both ways. The same people who produced something as transformative as Christianity can also produce something as destructive as Bolshevism. That is his framework and he never lets go of it. Then he drops the line that has kept this article alive and controversial for over a hundred years. He writes that it would almost seem as if the gospel of Christ and the gospel of Antichrist were destined to originate among the same people. He is saying that the force that built Western civilization and the force now threatening to destroy it both came from the same source. Christianity gave the West its moral architecture. International communism, in his view, is that architecture's deliberate demolition. Both originated in Jewish thought and Jewish leadership. One was the best thing that ever happened to humanity. The other, if not stopped, would shatter everything the first one built. He then does something that most people who quote this article choose to ignore. He makes a passionate argument against collective blame. He says there is no greater mistake than to hold individuals responsible for the characteristics of their group, that nothing is more wrong than to judge a person based on their race or origin, and that every person deserves to be assessed on their personal conduct and merit. He is doing this because he is about to say things about Jewish representation in the Bolshevik leadership that he knows will be weaponized against individual Jewish people who have nothing to do with it. He is trying to build a firewall before he walks through the door. He divides Jewish people into three groups and explains each one. The first group he calls National Jews. These are Jewish people who have settled in a country, become citizens, fought in its armies, supported its institutions, and practiced their faith privately. He is enthusiastically in favor of this group. He says Jewish soldiers fought with distinction for the Allies throughout the First World War. He says Jewish communities across Europe and America supported the fight against Germany. These people in Churchill's view are exactly what a good citizen looks like and their religion is nobody's business but their own. The second group he calls International Jews and this is where it gets uncomfortable. He argues that a specific faction of Jewish people, mostly from countries where Jews had been violently persecuted for generations, had abandoned their faith, abandoned any sense of national identity, and had become the primary intellectual and organizational engine of the Bolshevik revolutionary movement. He traces the ideology from an 18th century figure named Weishaupt through Karl Marx to the leadership of the Russian Revolution. Then he starts listing names with their roles in the Soviet state. Trotsky commanding the Red Army. Zinoviev running the Communist International. Litvinoff running foreign policy. Krassin. Radek. He says the predominance of Jews in the Soviet institutions is astonishing and that the principal role in the system of terror run by the Cheka, the secret police that at this moment was operating concentration camps and mass executions, had been taken by Jewish figures. He adds that non-Jewish people are equally capable of this kind of violence and equally involved in it. But the Jewish representation in the leadership is disproportionate relative to their numbers and the fact that it is disproportionate matters because it is being used to paint all Jewish people with a brush that belongs to a tiny fraction of them. The ordinary Jewish population of Russia, he notes, is itself suffering under the revolutionary regime alongside everyone else. The third group he calls Zionists and this is the group Churchill wants to win. His case for Zionism is not religious. He is not making detailed arguments about ancient claims to land. He is making a strategic and ideological argument. He says Zionism gives Jewish people a national identity, a national home, and a national purpose. It channels the enormous collective energy of Jewish civilization into building something. A state. A culture. A homeland. And that is the direct competitor to what Bolshevism is offering, which is the complete abandonment of national identity in favor of rootless international revolution aimed at destroying everything that exists. He then makes what is probably the smartest observation in the whole article. He says Trotsky hated Zionism with unusual fury and that the fury was completely rational. Trotsky understood exactly what a Jewish national home would do. You cannot be a revolutionary dedicated to destroying all nations if you have a nation of your own that you love and want to build. National identity and revolutionary internationalism are incompatible. Trotsky knew that every Jewish person who chose Zionism was one less revolutionary for his movement. Churchill understood that Trotsky understood this. And from that Churchill concluded that the real battle was not between Jews and non-Jews or between Russia and the West. The real battle was inside Jewish civilization itself, between the Zionist path and the Bolshevik path, and he called it a struggle for the soul of the Jewish people. He closes with a call to National Jews across the world to publicly reject Bolshevism, make clear it does not represent Jewish values, and actively support both their adopted nations and the Zionist project. He argues this will demonstrate to the world that Bolshevism is not a Jewish movement but is in fact opposed by the vast majority of Jewish people. Now here is why the article has been controversial for over a hundred years and why the controversy runs in three completely different directions. Antisemites have been selectively quoting it since the day it was published. They pull out the phrases about Jewish predominance in the Bolshevik leadership and quote those passages stripped of everything else Churchill wrote. They leave out the explicit defense of individual Jewish people. They leave out the condemnation of collective blame. They leave out the entire argument about Zionism as a positive alternative. This misrepresentation has been happening for a hundred years and it continues today. Critics from a Jewish perspective find the gospel of Antichrist framing genuinely offensive regardless of Churchill's intention. Telling a people that they are the source of both the world's salvation and its potential destruction, even as an observation rather than a condemnation, treats that people as uniquely other in a way that history has shown repeatedly leads somewhere very dark. Historians find the article remarkable for a completely different reason. Churchill is saying plainly, in 1920, in a mainstream British newspaper, things about the composition of the Bolshevik leadership that are confirmed by the historical record and that serious scholars have documented in detail, but that mainstream political culture has treated as too dangerous to discuss directly ever since. The disproportionate Jewish representation in the early Bolshevik leadership is not an antisemitic invention. It is documented history. The reason it happened, given what Jewish people had endured under the Tsarist system for centuries, is entirely explicable without attributing it to anything more mysterious than cause and effect. But the fact that it is documentable and explicable has not made it discussable in polite public discourse, which is why a 1920 newspaper article by a man who had not yet been Prime Minister is still circulating a hundred years later. What Churchill was trying to do, taking the whole article seriously and taking his own disclaimers at face value, was build a distinction that the 20th century refused to honor. He wanted people to be able to say: this pattern exists, here is why it exists, it does not make individual Jewish people responsible for it, and here is the political movement that offers an alternative. The century that followed made that kind of nuance almost impossible because the language got picked up and stripped of its context so many times that the nuance itself became politically toxic. The transformation of 1920 common political knowledge into 2026 conspiracy theory did not happen through open debate. No one held a public discussion and decided by democratic consensus that these facts were now off limits. It happened gradually, through the accumulation of institutional decisions about what could be published, what could be taught, what could be said in a newspaper, and what would end a career. The facts did not change. The permission to discuss them did. Seventy-eight years after Churchill wrote his article the state he envisioned on the banks of the Jordan existed. Whether the struggle for the soul of the Jewish people that he identified in 1920 has been resolved, or whether it simply transformed into different conflicts with different names, is something anyone reading this in 2026 can judge for themselves. The article is ten minutes long. It is free. It is public domain. It is one of the most direct treatments of these questions ever published by a major Western political figure and it reads today as if it was written by someone who had decided that the truth was more important than his career. In 1920 he could still make that choice and survive politically. That is probably the most interesting thing about it.

Yes. A group of about 50 Jewish Holocaust survivors known as Nakam (the Avengers), led by Abba Kovner, planned in 1945-46 to poison the water supplies of major German cities to kill 6 million Germans as revenge for the Holocaust. They obtained arsenic and scouted targets like Nuremberg but the large-scale water plan was never executed. A related effort to poison bread for German POWs sickened over 2,000 but caused no confirmed mass deaths.
