Weekend catchup.

A horrific mass murder is unfolding in Sudan, where no one can see it. The RSF are murdering civilians in El Fasher, having finally defeated the Sudanese army forces holding out in the city. The BBC has managed to speak to some who escaped www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7fC...

Judging by their speeches, neither Trump nor Hegseth has paid the slightest attention to how actual wars are being fought in the actual world. The “war fighting” and “lethality” they plan is inside their own country and comes from conflicts inside their own minds.

Norsk USA-dekning er så rar at NRK sende direkte frå eit høgrenasjonalistisk valmøte. Kommentar:

Donald Trump, dinner at Windsor. THAT is the most deranged speech I have ever heard from any American president. The guy is clearly mentally ill.

On Monday, Peter Thiel begins a secret four-part Antichrist lecture series in San Francisco. What the hell is going on? Why all this bible doom talk? I talked to an Antichrist historian & a theologian about this outbreak of tech apocalypse hype: www.thenerdreich.com/peter-thiel-...

Denne var veldig bra. Støre er stødig. Det er dette som formatet vi bør strebe etter, ikke #Debatten. Jeg anbefaler deg å gi en time til Støre og The Rest is Politics. Det var interessant. Og jeg ble faktisk litt stolt. Han er en god norgesambassadør.

Grundig reportasje om Trumps uvanlig inkompetente sjefsfikser, Steve Witkoff. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

“Trump’s march towards authoritarianism is so steady that it’s easy to become inured to it: you can’t be in a state of shock permanently. And besides, sober-minded people are wary of sounding hyperbolic or hysterical: their instinct is to play down rather than scream at the top of their voice.”

Mark Chadbourn is worth following on various topics chadbourn.substack.com?r=4su66v&utm...

Viktig påminnelse i forbindelse med Sylvi Listhaugs krav om å utvise Greta Thunberg.

Russian foreign ministry clarifies that they will under no circumstances accept NATO soldiers on Ukrainian territory after a peace agreement. So much for Steve Witkoff's claim that Putin had given this concession in Alaska.

Trump worked to kill a story about his friendship with Epstein. Now we know why | Margaret Sullivan

Wall Street Journal har vært i Kirkenes.

Another excellent piece from @alanderminna.bsky.social, and yes, I do read Danish newspapers on a regular basis.

The rise of Trump didn’t just shift politics. It empowered movements like this to build, recruit, and embed themselves deep inside American institutions. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I wrote about how the Everglades experiment fits into the history of concentration camps in the US and abroad, and how it will connect a domestic network of camps to an international one. We’re watching the imposition of a global concentration camp network.

We keep asking, why do these people vote against their own interests, as if the answer were a riddle or a trick of ignorance. But we know the truth. We’ve seen it. Read The Flattening: Part 2. It’s not about policy. It never was. open.substack.com/pub/joadt/p/...

Trump and Elon are fighting again and Trump is saying Elon should go back to Africa. 🍿🍿🍿

Tenker du å besøke USA sier du? VM i fotball 2026 sier du? Vel, tenk deg i så fall nøye om, og slett i det minste alt på sosiale medier før du reiser.

Take note.

Be prepared for the next terrorist attack, and what comes after.. snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-t...

Just want to make sure it's stuck here. Forever.

Russia will likely hit the 1 million casualty mark in the summer of 2025—a stunning and grizzly milestone.

1/11 Trump was never the main threat—just the opening act and Trojan horse. The technofascist oligarchs who backed him are already planning what comes next—and it’s darker, more authoritarian, more organized, and far more dangerous!

A clear and sound message to all russians from @alanderminna.bsky.social And I totally agree!

Ukrainian war journalist Yuri Butusov has summarized the details of the operation "Spiderweb" against Russian airbases: - At the moment, according to our sources, the destruction of 41 aircrafts of strategic and military transport aviation of the Russian Armed Forces at 4 bases has been recorded.

På tide å spørre seg selv hva Professor Glenn Diesen gjør på et universitet finansiert av norske skattebetalere.

Forhandlinger brukes som politisk dekke for militær fremdrift. I mangel av sterkt vestlig press utnytter Russland dialogsporet for å vinne tid militært og delegitimere Ukraina, skriver Karen-Anna Eggen www.altinget.no/forsvar/arti...

Trying to think of any instance in history where forced relocations of ethnic groups looked good in retrospect.

Here is what we confirmed: After Musk’s rise to power in the U.S. government, the State Department has repeatedly coaxed, lobbied and browbeat this tiny West African country into giving business to Musk’s satellite company Starlink.

Jeg og David Morse skriver i dagens Aftenposten om den Orwellianske valgloven som Trump og republikanerne i Kongressen nå prøver seg på. Skulle denne vedtas, snakker vi massiv velgerundetrykking. (1) www.aftenposten.no/meninger/kro...

Trump og hans medsammensvorne republikanere higer etter den perfekte orwellianske staten www.aftenposten.no/meninger/kro...?

Another great read from Minna Ålander. In a "world of wars", nothing can be ruled out.

Det er kanskje ikke en verdenskrig (ennå), men det er definitivt en verden i krig. www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

"We should be trying to stop this from coming to pass with the urgency we would try to stop a killer asteroid from striking Earth." A must-read by @xriskology.bsky.social on the apocalyptic End Times cult of tech www.truthdig.com/articles/the...

Musk, Bezos, Andreessen, they're completely nuts

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll discuss the state of X in May 2025. Since its acquisition by Elon Musk, this platform has rapidly transformed into his personal political tool and a breeding ground for hate speech and disinformation. 1/22

“They cut speed limits, changed street design, removed space for cars… Now it appears that work is paying off. #Oslo & #Helsinki are reaping the rewards of committed action on making their roads safer, reducing pedestrian fatalities to zero last year.” #VisionZero #SpeedKills

A good read

Bedtime for Democracy

How the Republic Falls   Constitutional protections suspended. The government purging “alien enemies” and the “enemy within.” Three months into Trumpist rule, despotism is rising in America.   New piece:
