20 Million Preppers In America ATM

CNN’s Nick Paton Walsh Reports in “The End of the World As We Know It” for The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper NEW EPISODE PREMIERES SUNDAY, AUGUST 30 AT 8PM ET/PT NEW YORK, NY – (August 24, 2026) – The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper, a seven-time Emmy® Award-winning CNN Original, returns with an examination of the rapidly growing doomsday prepper movement in North America. “The End of the World as We Know It” with CNN Chief International Security Correspondent Nick Paton Walsh premieres Sunday, August 30 at 8pm ET/PT and will be available to stream the following day at CNN.com/watch and on the CNN app for CNN streaming subscribers. Once considered a fringe movement, preparing for disasters and long-term emergencies has become increasingly mainstream, with an estimated 20 million Americans now identifying as preppers and the community expanding to include younger and more diverse followers. In this hour, Paton Walsh embarks on a monthslong journey across North America to explore both the survival tactics and mindset behind prepping. Drawing on his 25 years of experience covering conflict and its aftermath around the world, he puts his own survival skills to the test and immerses himself in the worlds of those preparing for a range of catastrophic scenarios. “It is extraordinary how the world of prepping suck you in to its emotions – that fish antibiotics, crossbows and ferro rods suddenly feel like something you need to have under the bed at home,” Paton Walsh said. “But its mainstream emergence is all a very real reflection of how vulnerable people feel – in the climate emergency, political eruptions, and sense of endless war – to the omni-crisis around us. One thing I learned was the stereotype of going it alone in the woods is still a bit nuts. You are going to need other people when the world as we know it ends.” Along the way, Paton Walsh explores a converted nuclear missile silo in Kansas that has been transformed into a luxury survival bunker. In the mountains of Colorado, he visits a survivalist community designed to shelter more than 100 people in the event of a collapse. And on a remote island off the coast of Mexico, he learns the fundamentals of wilderness survival, from building shelter and starting a fire to finding water and food. The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper is a collection of unique and immersive single subject, one-hour episodes from CNN’s award-winning longform storytelling team showcasing character-driven stories, special interviews, and investigative deep dives featuring reporting from CNN’s anchors and correspondents. The series, which has been honored with three consecutive Emmy® Awards for Outstanding Recorded News Program, is executive produced by Susan Chun. Paton Walsh and director of photography Brice Laine previously reported for The Whole Story on the two-time Emmy® Award-winning “The Trek: A Migrant Trail to America”, “Elephant vs. Man” in Sri Lanka and “The Wired Rainforest” in the indigenous lands of Brazil. The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper will stream live for pay TV subscribers via CNN.com, CNN connected TV and mobile apps on Sunday, August 30. The hour will also be available beginning Monday, August 31 to CNN’s streaming subscribers and pay TV subscribers via CNN.com, CNN connected TV and mobile apps, and Cable Operator Platforms.

Russia Nuking Ukraine

Of course Putin has no choice but to Nuke Ukraine int submission - the West has eft him no alternative...

Fears are mounting that Russia could be considering using nuclear weapons in Ukraine as strikes between the two countries continue. Sources close to the Kremlin told Bloomberg that Vladimir Putin is hellbent on a new escalation after peace talks have reached a dead end. Earlier this week it was reported CIA Director John Ratcliffe travelled to Moscow for unannounced talks, possibly to warn the Kremlin against plans it may have to escalate the conflict. ‘The Americans don’t normally send such a high-ranking official to Moscow unannounced at short notice unless something is up,’ he explained. Russia has launched a number of drones and covert UAVs towards the UK and Europe in recent years. The International Institute of Strategic Studies issued a sobering report in which they found Vladimir Putin’s shadow fleet ships sent drones into Britain and Europe, targeting airports, bases and nuclear sites. Ratcliffe is thought to have warned Putin against ‘testing NATO’s resolve’ by staging a limited attack in the Baltics. Russia is continuing to experience mounting, unprecedented attacks on oil and gas infrastructure, ports and military sites. Russia would likely choose to use tactical nuclear weapons, which are much less powerful than the bombs used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, at the end of World War II. RUSSIA will have to use limited mini-Nukes just to ensure it does not "Lose Face" and have to completely withdraw fromo Ukraine because as the saying goes "Russia is a Nation with Ukraine but a Country without it... PG PS Russia Nuking Ukraine is inevitable atm.

Jews Fight Jews

Ziva Sharp said her Jewish faith motivated her to travel from Jerusalem to the West Bank to stand up for Palestinians -- a commitment that led to her being set upon by fellow Israelis also professing to be driven by Judaism.

Sharp and around 30 other activists are part of a small movement of Israelis, many of them religious Jews, who periodically go to the occupied West Bank with a mission to protect Palestinians under growing assault by violent settlers. On Tuesday, at least five of the activists were injured as settlers violently expelled them, throwing stones, unleashing pepper spray and injuring this AFP journalist, who was hit in the chin with a stick. Sharp said she joined the movement to "practice my commitment to my Judaism, which is humanistic and not violent", and to "decrease, to the extent that we can, the damage the Jewish people do to the Palestinians". She said her inspiration came from Jewish religious texts. "We are supposed to be part of tzelem elokim (the image of God), and to follow God's ways, and God's ways are pity, compassion and justice." The activists travelled to Jannatah, near Bethlehem, to build a protective fence around the home of the Faraj family, who have come under pressure from Jewish extremists. A member of the Palestinian family, Mohammed Faraj, was killed in clashes with settlers in March, and several relatives were wounded. Nobody has been arrested over the killing, his brother Hassan told AFP. The activists went to clear road obstacles blocking the Faraj family after settlers put up a prefabricated home on the family's private land. The activists and accompanying journalists returned to find their cars vandalised, with windows smashed and tyres punctured. After activists went to confront the settlers, two cars full of settler reinforcements -- many of them young and wearing dark hoodies -- rushed in to attack the visitors. According to the activists, the settlers' outpost, dubbed Kochav Yehuda, has been dismantled 64 times by Israeli authorities and rebuilt each time, most recently on Monday, the day before the activists' visit. The encroaching settlers belong to the extremist Hilltop Youth movement, which seeks to pressure Palestinian residents to abandon their homes -- often through violence -- and to establish outposts that are illegal even under Israeli law, in the hope they will later be legalised and upgraded into full settlements. More than 500,000 Israelis live in the West Bank, which Israel has occupied since 1967, and which is home to around three million Palestinians. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing government is advancing more settlement construction ahead of October 27 elections. Violence against Palestinians by Israeli settlers has increased dramatically since the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel by Hamas from the Gaza Strip. - Children of Abraham - Many of the Israeli activists are part of Bnei Avraham (Children of Abraham), a movement of religious Jews named after the Biblical patriarch regarded in tradition as the common forebear of Jews, Muslims and Christians. Unlike the broader Israeli peace movement, which is largely secular, it was founded four years ago by a group of religious Jews who said their faith compelled them to confront what they saw as injustices against Palestinians. That stance has placed them in direct opposition to religious Zionist extremists who invoke Judaism to justify expelling Palestinians from their land. Avishai Liss, 26, who grew up in a religious Zionist community in northern Israel, has been active with Bnei Avraham for more than a year. "I feel as a Jewish person, as a Zionist, that what's happening now in the West Bank is not Jewish. And it's definitely not moral. And that's why I come here, to help the Palestinian people, to defend their houses from the violent settlers," he told AFP. He said his activism had strained his relationships within his own community but that he believed Judaism came in many forms. "You can be a Fascist Jew, like them... and think that all your Judaism is about conquering land and trees and destroying and using violence," he said. "My Judaism is to love the creation that God has created." Dror Nadel, 27, grew up in an ultra-Orthodox community outside Tel Aviv but left the fold as a teenager and became secular. He said his ultra-Orthodox upbringing had shaped his "socialist" outlook, as his father had followed the Jewish commandment to give charity to the poor. The Jewish way of thinking "helped me to analyse the conflict and what I wanted to do, and how I want to be involved in this conflict in a different way", he said. "I think religion is a really dangerous thing," Nadel said. "It's a really beautiful thing, but it can lead you in really wrong directions." "This is why we need to study our religion and to research it, even in the 21st century, to see what we got wrong and how we can fix it." "Fascists Jewws", now I have heard it all... PG

Build a Personal Brand That Creates Opportunities

For decades, the formula was simple. Get a good education. Land a stable job. Work hard. Get promoted. Save and invest. For a long time, it worked well. But something has shifted in recent years. The top 1% of Americans now hold 31.7% of all U.S. wealth, the highest share since the Federal Reserve started tracking it in 1989. Collectively, that group holds roughly as much wealth as the bottom 90% combined. Meanwhile, wage growth for lower- and middle-income workers in 2025 ranged from 1.1% to 1.5%. For higher-income workers, it ran at 3%. The wealth gap is widening. But it’s important to remember that income is not the same as wealth. A salary gives you money. Assets give you leverage. And right now, the divide between people with leverage and people without it is accelerating faster than at any point in recent history. PG

"Bug-out locations" (BOL)

A last-ditch, emergency retreat or backup location is commonly referred to in survival, military, or prepping contexts as a "bug-out location" (BOL), "fallback position", or a "redoubt". Bse-Camp; While a traditional base camp serves as a primary, fully equipped staging area for planned operations, exploration, or regular outdoor activities, a desperate "last-ditch" version used when your primary base camp or home is compromised is often categorized by specific tactical terms. Depending on the context, the exact name for this type of refuge changes: 1. Bug-Out Location (BOL): In survivalist and prepping communities, this is a pre-determined, hidden, or fortified location (like a cabin, bunker, or remote camp) where you flee when your primary residence is no longer safe. 2. Fallback Position / Secondary Base Camp: In military and tactical operations, this is a secondary defensive line or encampment prepared in advance. If the frontline or primary base camp is overrun, forces "fall back" to this position to regroup. 3. Redoubt: Historically and architecturally, a redoubt is a stronghold, fort, or last-ditch refuge system where a military force or community retires when cut off from the main base.Safehouse: In intelligence or security contexts, a secret, secure location used for emergency concealment or a last-resort retreat.

Gates Essay On AI

Bill Gates Microsoft Chairman and one of the GREAT MINDS of our time say we must watch AI in this critically provocative and important 6k word essay; During my entire life I’ve only had two jobs. In the first one, I played a role in developing software to empower people through my work at Microsoft. In my second one, which I started full time in 2008, I am giving back the wealth I made at Microsoft with the goal of making the world a healthier, better educated, and more equitable place. This is the job I will have for the rest of my life. Both of these experiences inform my perspective on artificial intelligence. When I first learned about computers at age 13 I was fascinated by the idea of making them more intelligent and able to perform things that, at the time, only humans could do. Although the term “AI” was used from around the time I was born, the technology has only made significant progress in the last decade. It is now incredibly capable and it is continuing to improve at a mind-blowing rate. AI for the first time can replace and even exceed human cognition... - Bill Gates's essay on the risks and limits of artificial intelligence is approximately 6,000 words long (running to about 5,784 words or 12 pages). - Essay Overview; Length: Nearly 6,000 words (12 pages). - Where to read: Published on GatesNotes. - Release Date: yesterday August 26, 2026. - Key Topics Covered a.

AI Taxes: Suggestions to tax AI and robots similarly to human employee payroll taxes to slow the displacement of human labor. d. Safety Thresholds: Concern that clear criteria and guardrails to stop severe cyber and biological threats are missing
