The No World Order Meir Kahane, Netanyahu, Trump, and the war beyond Iran.

"One cannot understand the Iran War without understanding the Kahanists. But I rarely see analysts mention them. Maybe they did, and it was behind a paywall. If a war crime is subscription-only, does it make a sound? Is that sound a stifled scream?"

Yes but I was already right. No one contested the information in my books. The history I documented was meticulously researched and subject to rigorous legal review. My assumptions were also accurate. The books sold well.

What happened is no one ACTED on the information right in front of them.

I'm not sure why people think it matters what cable news says. I said on air for years that Trump was in a transnational crime syndicate and that Epstein was a key figure and the criming continued. Now the actual criminals and people once married to the criminals are "pundits", so that's better? LOL

I originally posted this on Twitter six years ago. Then I reposted it on Bluesky in 2024 to make them easy to find. Then BlueSky admins suspended me over Johnny Cash lyrics. While I was suspended, they deleted many of my book excerpts. I'm reposting some of them because they're relevant to the news.

The Invaders Thieves of American empire are gunning for your future.

My newsletter is back! I wrote about a road trip through Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas — and what it tells us about America’s imperial ambitions.

Thank you! And yes, above all, learn and preserve history. This country was doing much better about that in the previous decade, which is why the backlash to accurate history is so intense now. But preservation is more important than ever given AI/digital erasure and government force.

I don't think their ancestry is very important and it's interesting that their corrupt mentors who shaped their views AND hired them for their jobs are ignored in favor of distant family history. Look at David Horowitz for Miller. Look at Jamie Gorelick for Garland. That's why this is happening.

Yes that is what I'm saying. Dems fight the people who fight fascism. The Dems went after the "Abolish ICE" movement and anti-genocide movements far harder than they went after Trump and the GOP. They "reached across the aisle" to fascists.

If 2025 was the year fossil fuels caught fire, 2026 will be the year of cold water Does Canada’s re-embrace of fossil fuels make economic sense? This question will come into sharp focus in 2026.

Almost entirely missing from the rhetoric are questions of whether Canada’s re-embrace of fossil fuels makes economic sense. But it will come into focus in 2026, because someone needs to pay for the projects, write Michael Sambasivam and Matt Price. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/07/o...

Rep. Ilhan Omar Clashes With Elliott Abrams YouTube video by Bloomberg News

One of the only members of Congress to take Elliott Abrams to task was Ilhan Omar, which is part of the reason you’re seeing a coordinated attack on her and on Somali-Americans and an attempt to oust her from office. Clip: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EGr...

I wonder if Ronan Farrow would be allowed to publish "Catch and Kill" now. I'm pretty sure I would not be allowed to publish "Hiding in Plain Sight" or "They Knew". Hell, even "Last American Road Trip" (my fun book!) got targeted; I think it's seen as a gateway drug to my other books...

Yes, I'm unsafe. It's worse at certain times; after an election and before inauguration is always bad. I had to have a bodyguard in late 2016. I've been threatened by both parties, but the threats largely originate from the same network and have to do with Epstein, organized crime, and Israel.

The method to Mark Carney’s madness The memorandum of understanding with Alberta might look like surrender. Look closer

So far, Mark Carney has gotten two standing ovations and lost one cabinet minister as a result of his "grand bargain" with Alberta. The best, or worst, is almost certainly yet to come. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/27/o...

Not really, just passing through. I got curious what else I posted on the day I posted the Johnny Cash reference for which I was suspended, since it was back in Oct. I had posted book excerpts about things in the Epstein emails later released on the day they suspended me. bsky.app/profile/sara...

“For decades, the media did not cover Epstein. They covered *for* Epstein.”

From 2022, from the chapter “Epstein Wasn’t the First”, featuring Landon Thomas Jr.

I am also grateful to the people who sent me screenshots of the posts BlueSky administrators wrote about me. They never contacted me with this information. They blocked me from the site, making it impossible to know what they had said, correct it, and defend myself from their false allegations.

How to Get Lost Rejecting the world in favor of humanity

As for heroes...

"I don’t like the idea of heroes, not only because they betray you, but because they bore you. But I seek consolation same as anyone, and I find some in this kindred spirit, who rejected the world in favor of humanity."

THEY KNEW book cover

Knowing this question would be asked, I wrote a book about it in 2021. Basically, they have to feign ignorance to avoid accountability. If they admit they knew of the crisis all along, everyone will ask why they did nothing to stop it, and I can prove that they knew.

Which is why I called the book:

Thanks! I don't feel silenced since my books are bestsellers, but people who *just* figured out this information really should not be covering Trump. All of the evidence was, as the book says, Hiding in Plain Sight.

There's been some uncertainty because of the tariffs but try Left Bank -- they shipped to Canada before this year and hopefully still do www.left-bank.com/sarah-kendzi...

Which is why it would be nice to know who is an actual expert in Venezuela vs the "experts" that popped up yesterday. I'd like to hear from people with deep knowledge of regional history, key players, agendas etc. Especially with the dearth of even basic reliable news on simply what's happening.

The US getting into a regime change war in Venezuela doesn’t make much sense if viewed through an authoritarian personalist frame of Trump and his administration—but it makes perfect sense if you instead look at it through the frame of Trump also being a tool of even more powerful capital interests.

Are you thinking of fictional representations or real people? There are a lot of both — “9 to 5” (Dolly movie and story that inspired it), Roseanne, Erin Brockovich, “Working Girl”, etc. There was a switch in the 21st century from this type of storytelling though. “Hunger Games” the big exception…
