Britain has become a WOKE nation under Starmer who is eager to adjust the culture to fit this new narrative. There are countless stories of censorship coming from the UK, but one of the most bizarre stories is the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) placing a trigger warning on the film “Wicked” for discriminating against fictional characters.
The PG-rated musical “may be upsetting and poignant for some audiences,” according to the BBFC. Why?“A green-skinned woman is mocked, bullied and humiliated because of her skin colour,” the agency stated. “Talking animals are persecuted in a fantastical society,” the warning continues. Everyone and anyone is now considered a victim under the WOKE movement. I cannot think of a single film that would not be deemed offensive in some way under these vague guidelines.
The only group of people you can openly offend are the Christians. Football/soccer Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi has been canceled for writing“I love Jesus” on a rainbow LGBTQ+ armband that the Premier League forced players to wear. “It was a message of love, of truth as well. A message of inclusivity so I think it speaks for itself,” Guehi told reporters after the league considered penalizing him.
The player’s father defended his son’s demonized actions: “The FA are happy for the crowd to sing God Save The King when England plays, which mentions God and religion. And they are happy to have the religious hymn Abide With Me during the cup final and yet they have a go at my son for expressing his beliefs. Where is the sense in that? What exactly has he done wrong?”
Ipswich Town captain Sam Morsy, who is Muslim, chose not to wear the rainbow armband. He was not penalized for his actions, and he did not make top headlines. He simply was permitted to exercise his freedom of religion.
They can only force their ideals down our throats when it fits the WOKE narrative. They do not want England to remain a Christian nation and are hellbent on dividing the people into peculiar categories to encourage the divisive culture war.

DEI has no place in the military. The purpose of the military is to protect the people of the United States not to virtue signal or focus on the identities of individuals. Biden and Harris appointed a slew of individuals to top positions to promote a woke military. Trump is restoring sanity and dignity to our armed forces by removing these DEI policies.
Trump will sign an executive order to retire any three or four-star general “lacking in requisite leadership qualities.” We suddenly have about three times as many three and four-star generals and admirals now than we did at the peak of World War II. Trump’s order could create a super-majority of the 162 three-star and 44 four-star officers off active duty.
There is an onslaught of strange perversions happening in the US military that are quite frankly embarrassing. Maryland National Guard Colonel Brian T. Connellymarked his retirement by posing in his military uniform while wearing perverse fetish gear that made him appear to look like a dog. You simply cannot make this stuff up.
This June, Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks said that the military needed to focus its efforts on trans members. “We’ve heard concerns about … policies focused on the needs of nonbinary service members. Please know our commitment is resolute, just as it has been over the past three-and-a-half years, to continue our progress in full alignment with our focus on readiness and our focus on the well-being of our people, on which our readiness depends,” Hicks said.
Just look at our US Assistant Secretary of Health, Dr. Rachel Levine. They likely cannot pass the fitness portion requirement of the military requirement. How is this person the face of health? How we even allowed things to deteriorate to this point is beyond comprehension. Levine infamously claimed climate change disproportionately hurt black Americans as the woke pandering message has become utter nonsense.
The Department of Defense has spent countless funds on DEI initiatives under Biden-Harris, shelling out $68 million in 2022, $86.5 million in 2023, and a requested $114.7 million in 2024. Instead of using funds to improve national security, Biden and Harris spent millions on woke ideology that weakened our military.
Bureaucrats are incapable of changing course even when their policies fail. Amid low recruitment, the US Navy invited an active-duty drag queen to be its digital ambassador. Former US Navy SEAL Team Six member Robert J. O’Neill was part of the special operation to kill Osama bin Laden, one of the best and bravest our country has to offer. “Alright. The US Navy is now using an enlisted sailor Drag Queen as a recruiter. I’m done. China is going to destroy us. YOU GOT THIS NAVY. I can’t believe I fought for this bulls-t,” O’Neill wrote. “Not this Navy veteran. I’m ashamed of the Navy,” wrote another veteran. “It’s an insult to every veteran. The army kept making me go to trans EO-type classes before I retired. Nope. Didn’t go.”
Who the hell were they trying to recruit? Are these people even mentally fit to serve? It’s almost like they’re begging for a future draft of “all persons,” because the military knows better. The Airforce saw an uptick in recruitment after Tom Cruise released his film “Top Gun” portraying a fearless fighter pilot. You are not “fearless” for dressing up as the opposite sex. You can do what you want in the privacy of your bedroom but it has no place in the military, classrooms, or elsewhere. This recruitment strategy FAILED and was a slap in the face to our veterans who do not want to be portrayed in this light.
We saw the LGBTQ+ flag flown alongside our proud branches of the military – WHY? This claim that WOKE is somehow establishing EQUALITY is total nonsense. We are equal as human beings but not in talent, and it is a threat to the security of the United States to appoint people to top roles in our military when they lack the proper qualifications. The intense woke narrative that defies all logic has caused the pendulum to swing in the other direction. People, even if not especially within the gay community, are no longer afraid to call the woke narrative utter nonsense.

QUESTION: Marty, I know you will not say who you advise, but we know you were the only Western analyst called in by China during the Asian Currency Crisis. People have also seen you in India at that famous hotel that the terrorists attacked. China even issued a white paper on how their central bank uses Capital Flow Analysis, which you invented. That said, my question is: The BRICS had everyone expecting a gold-backed currency if that failed. You also said in an interview that the new BRICS currency would not displace the dollar. Would you comment on why a gold-backed BRIC note would fail since they seem to have taken that position from you?
QB
ANSWER: The BRICS currency was created for geopolitical reasons when the Neocons transformed the SWIFT system into an economic weapon and even threatened China that they would do the same to them if they supported Russia. Once that occurred, the Neocons transformed the entire world’s monetary system into a weapon of war. That is why we have the BRICS. It had nothing to do with killing the dollar or backing their currency with gold.
Many hoped for an official announcement regarding a gold-backed currency, which failed to materialize. Look—a gold-backed currency would be massively deflationary. The money supply could not expand with the population or in times of need without new discoveries. Just because a currency is gold does not eliminate inflation or deflation. All the gold discoveries during the 19th century in California, Alaska, and Australia caused havoc economically. Then there were wars. The fact that gold was the currency did not prevent inflation.
Spain defaulted 7 times. All the gold and silver they brought back from the New World caused massive European inflation. Those who preach that a gold standard is the answer know nothing about history.
They blame “fiat currency” as if this will solve all the problems by eliminating it. There were booms and busts throughout ancient times long before there was paper money. ALL currency is fiat, even when it is gold. I have shown that Southern India routinely imitated Roman gold coins because they had a premium over gold – fiat. Northern India and the Kushan Empire did issue their own coinage mainly because they traded more with China. Southern India stuck imitation Roman gold coins for about 250 years. That confirms that the Roman coinage was worth more than the metal content.
BRICS Will Not be a Gold-Backed Currency or a Dollar Killer
They made the same claims about the Euro. That, too, did not work out well. Why? The value of a currency is the productive capacity of its people—not its gold reserves. Japan and Germany lost the war and rose to the top of the economic food chain because their people were productive. The United States has the largest CONSUMER-BASED economy, so everyone needs to sell their products here. That means that they must sell in dollars. The US is also strong militarily. That also adds to the foundation of the currency.
It is time we abandon all of these old, stupid economic theories, leftovers from the 18th and 19th centuries. The economy has evolved since then. The Neocons are destroying the dollar. They are undermining the future of the United States, and when we lose another one of their endless wars, the financial capital will shift from New York to Beijing. Just as war killed Britain, so will it kill the dollar and the United States.

Kuwait has forced over one million citizens to hand over their biometric data in one of the most extreme pushes for digital ID. Kuwait introduced a national electronic ID (eID) that they say will assist with identification verification, digital signatures, E-government access, and the secure exchange of data. The deadline to file for this mandatory program was September 30 and the consequences for failing to comply were swift.
On October 1, the Ministry of Interior announced that those who failed to submit their data would be prohibited from all electronic services such as withdrawals, transfers, and account transfers. One cannot even withdraw cash. Around 35,000people have been blocked out of their bank accounts and are unable to even view the balance. A few weeks later, those in noncompliance has their electronic bank cards deactivated. Visa, MasterCard, and K-Net all abided by the government’s rule.
Beginning on November 1, The Kuwait Banking Association stated it will implement a “complete block” on all accounts, which means one cannot even withdraw funds if they go to the bank in person. Expatriates have until December 31 to submit their biometric registration.
The government has reported an uptick of 6,000 new registrants per day compared to 600 since they began blocking citizens from accessing their own bank accounts. The government called this a “phased approach,” believing they’ve offered leniency to the public.
The issue here is that governments globally are strapped for funds and believe that they can increase revenues by at least 35% if they hunt down their citizens for taxes. Then we have the layer of the Great Reset put forth by Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum that is aiming to create a One World Government complete with a global database to track absolutely everyone. Australian journalist Maria Zaric has called it a “digital prison.” Once you’re locked in, you’re locked in. People will be less likely to speak out against the government, protest, or refuse vaccinations if they know their government can immediately exile them from society. This is more than a mere identification as it provides the government with instant access to all of your information and they will track your every movement. This is only the beginning of a massive wave of tyranny. Our computer has been warning that we have been entering into a more authoritarian mode that will reach a head in 2032.

The European Union is beginning to change its stance on its open border policy. Over 1.14 million sought asylum in the EU last year, a completely unsustainable population spike. European Union Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has faced harsh criticism from member states throughout the bloc who are calling upon Brussels to address the situation. Von der Leyen has now expressed interest in creating “return hubs” to house and deport migrants whose applications are denied.
I reported that Italy saw a 64% reduction in illegal migration under President Giorgia Meloni, who promised to curb immigration once elected. Instead of building shelters to house migrants with taxpayer funds, Meloni sought to build detention centers. Centri di Permanenza per il Rimpatrio (CPRs) or Repatriation Centers were extremely controversial but effective. Thousands of migrants were detained and deported if their application for asylum was denied. Word traveled that conditions in these centers were less desirable, making Italy less desirable for would-be intruders.
Ursula von der Leyen supported Meloni once she realized migrants were spilling into the rest of the bloc from Italy and has pointed to Meloni’s “out of the box thinking” to stop the inflow of newcomers. Specifically, the European Commission president stated that the Italy-Albania protocol proved effective whereby both nations signed a treaty that permitted Italy to send asylum seekers found in international waters back to Albania where they are then held in detention centers. “We should also continue to explore possible ways forward as regards the idea of developing return hubs outside the EU, especially in view of a new legislative proposal on return,” von der Leyen writes. “With the start of operations of the Italy-Albania protocol, we will also be able to draw lessons from this experience in practice.”
Now, 17 members of the EU sent a document to Brussels earlier in the month demanding border reform. “People without the right to stay must be held accountable. A new legal basis must clearly define their obligations and duties,” the members said. “Non-cooperation must have consequences and be sanctioned.” Suddenly, leaders of European nations realized that they were beneath Brussels in terms of power and had lost the ability to secure their own borders.
The 17 member nations are demanding that Brussels implements rules to detain and deport migrants who could be a threat to national security. Furthermore, they want to non-EU nations to accept their own citizens back once they are deported. As with everything, money rules all and these nations are willing to use trade and monetary gifts or aid as leverage, as Italy did with numerous African nations under the Mattei Plan.
Countless EU nations are attempting to control their borders, and in doing so, Brussels is relinquishing its power. Poland even attempted to announce a temporary suspension of asylum seekers the same week that Ursula voiced concern over the migrant crisis. The forced cohesion of the European Union is coming undone.
