There is no cyber-system that is secure
WOOPS… MAYBE THOSE DIGITAL IDs AREN’T SO SECURE…
Well, we were warned, by none other than the former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Catherine Austin Fitts: "There is no cyber-system that is secure," an aphorism that, with time, I expect to find in collections of such aphorisms like the Analects of Confucius: priceless wisdom for the times. My philosophical turn of mind is prompted by the following important article that was shared by M.D. (with our gratitude):
Now, in case you did not know, India is one of those countries more or less on board with the moves toward an all-digital society, including for things like personal documentation, and money (in the form of so-called "digital currency", which, as Fitts, I, and many others have noted, is not a currency at all, but a corporate coupon whose "value" can be adjusted to your "social performance", i.e., your conformity to the wishes, desires, and agendas of oligarchs and plutocrats).
So when India, whose population is a little over one billion has the personal information of 815 million of that billion - a substantial majority - stolen, then you know you have a teensy-tiny little problem on your hands:
The news of what is claimed to be such a significant data leak couldn't come at a worse time for the Indian authorities.
In September, security researcher Sourajeet Majumder uncovered a vulnerability on an Indian government website that had unwittingly leaked documents which included Aadhaar numbers, identity card details and even copies of residents' fingerprints.
By mid-October the website flaw had been fixed, thanks to Majumder's responsible disclosure. But it is, of course, possible that fraudsters and online criminals had been able to exploit it for nefarious purposes beforehand.
If data breaches like these keep happening, it's understandable why many people will feel increasingly reluctant to trust the authorities with their personally identifiable and biometric data.
You can change a password, and you can change your bank account. Hey, you can even change your name if you really feel you have to. But good luck changing your fingerprints.
In other words, if one can hack the unhackable "wallets" behind klepto-currencies (as has been done), and any digital database whatsoever, one can hack those digital IDs as well. (And, bad news, there are ways of concealing or even "changing" your fingerprints, too.)
And of course, if one can hack those things, then one can hack bank accounts, particularly if those accounts are full of nothing but digital currency.
And all of that introduces a measure of risk and instability into the financial markets (it's called volatility by the finance wonks, but perhaps a better analogy would be "California brush fire").
But the article raises an intriguing possibility for high octane speculation, and regular readers here know all-too-well that I simply cannot resist a run to the end of the speculation twig and a Wile E. Coyote nosedive into the canyon of speculation below. That possibility was raised in my mind by the following statement, italicized in the quotation above:
"If data breaches like these keep happening, it's understandable why many people will feel increasingly reluctant to trust the authorities with their personally identifiable and biometric data."
Ya think?
Seriously, though, the speculation is simple: what if there is a group of computer nerds spread around the world, who see the looming crisis that this move to an all-digital financial-surveillance system entails, and are trying to wake people up, and simultaneously, fight "delaying actions" by such means? It may not be as goofy as it sounds. After all, the idea of such "cyber-warfare" has been around for a long time, even being popularized by the 1984 fiction novel Softwar. It became a reality during the infamous "Farewell" spy case, when a French government mole inside the KGB helped the Soviet Union "steal" software that had a back door planted into it by Western intelligence and software experts, who used it to create a gas pipeline explosion in the Soviet Union, critically wounding the Soviet economy. (The resulting explosion was visible from space.) More recently, we have seen the computer hacking group Anonymous, and now a similar group active in India. Finally, we know various nations - China, Russia, and the USA among them - have whole covert divisions of government working on cyber warfare. And in countries pondering moves to more and more digital "currency", "equities" and so on, those cyber warfare departments can quickly become economic warfare components, as nations compete to develop various nasty means of disrupting their adversaries' economies, including outright theft and distribution of assets before the victim has time to react.
We'll know when we wake up to the headlines "Bank of International Settlements Accounts Hacked; Authorities in Search for Culprits."
Permit me to utter those four wonderful words: "We told you so!"
Time to butter the popcorn... Sleep well, Mr. Carstens...
See you on the flip side...

An X5-class powerhouse
11-11-25
MAJOR SOLAR FLARE AND CME:
Sunspot 4274 erupted again this morning (1010 UTC), producing its strongest flare yet: An X5-class powerhouse. The flare caused a deep shortwave radio blackout over southern Africa and hurled a fast CME directly toward Earth. According to a preliminary NASA model, the CME will reach Earth on Nov. 12th, potentially adding itself to the Cannibal CME described below. This justifies a severe G4 geomagnetic storm watch for Nov 12th and 13th. CME impact alerts: SMS Text.
CANNIBAL CME ALERT: [Note: These two CMEs are preceding today's X5 CME.] Strong geomagnetic storms are possible on Nov. 12th when two CMEs are expected to hit Earth's magnetic field. In fact, the two storm clouds could merge to form a potent "Cannibal CME." This NOAA forecast model shows the merger happening just before they reach our planet:
Cannibal CMEs contain shock waves and enhanced magnetic fields that do a good job sparking and amplifying geomagnetic storms. The last time one hit, on April 15, 2025, it caused a severe G4-class storm with auroras sighted as far south as France.
The "cannibal" forecast is far from certain. NOAA's model shows the two CMEs merging just before they reach Earth. They could just as easily merge after passing our planet. If that happens, the double blow could still spark a strong G3 geomagnetic storm, so it's a win-win. Sky watchers should be alert for auroras on Wednesday night.
Trump: In Cognitive Decline?
Every fact a lie?
When a man who commands the world’s most powerful military starts threatening to bomb Nigeria because of a Fox News segment about Christian persecution, it’s not strategy — its cognitive decline exposed in public. Reports confirm that after watching an inflammatory TV story, Donald Trump demanded options for a military strike against Nigeria the very next day. It’s a red flag for serious executive dysfunction.
Another example, when Trump was asked who Changpeng Zhao is, despite pardoning the cryptocurrency multi-billionaire last month. Answer, “I don’t know who he is.” Oh my, so forgetful. This is the criminal who invested $2 Billion in his sons’ company,
The signs of decline have been visible for years, but we’ve become numb to them. Trump’s rambling speeches, word salads, and conspiratorial rants aren’t just stylistic quirks. In my opinion, a professional psychologist/psychiatrist would determine they fit a clinically recognized pattern of cognitive and frontal-lobe deterioration — the same regions that control judgment, inhibition, and coherent thought.
A ChatGPT analysis of Trump’s public speech, language, and behavior from 2015 through 2025 using neurocognitive tools: the Mini-Mental State Exam, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, and Frontal Systems Behavior Scale. The findings were striking. His average sentence length, vocabulary richness, and logical sequencing all fell steadily each year. His Flesch-Kincaid reading level dropped from grade 8.2 to 5.5 — a decline well beyond normal aging.
Behaviorally, Trump scored in the impaired range for disinhibition and executive dysfunction, with scores climbing sharply after 2020. The public symptoms match those seen in neurodegenerative disorders: impulsivity, emotional volatility, and loss of insight. His inability to absorb correction, his delusional fixation on “rigged” systems, and his manic repetition of falsehoods are not political tactics — they’re cognitive breakdowns.
For comparison, Ronald Reagan’s language decline became visible only near the end of his presidency, later tied to Alzheimer’s disease. Joe Biden, despite normal signs of aging, maintained a coherent syntax and policy depth. Trump’s regression is steeper, more chaotic, and behaviorally disinhibited.
When voters watch our leader unravel in real time, we can’t just call it eccentricity. This is what cognitive decline looks like in public view: shorter sentences, erratic emotion, conspiratorial thinking, and reckless impulse. The pattern is unmistakable — and dangerous in anyone holding the nuclear codes. America need to be on high alert. Almost any fact quoted by Trump is factually incorrect or an outright lie.
Dead Doctors Don't Lie (1999)
By Joel D. Wallach and Ma Lan - 30 Q&As - Unbekoming Book Summary
In 1895, the Journal of the American Medical Association published a peculiar statistic that should have triggered a revolution in healthcare: doctors were dying at age 55, twenty years younger than the average American. A century later, Dr. Joel Wallach checked again, expecting modern medicine’s advances would have surely closed this gap. What he found defied logic—physicians still die younger than their patients, averaging just 58 to 69 years compared to the national average of 75.5. Here were the people with unlimited access to healthcare, the first to spot symptoms, the ones who could write their own prescriptions and schedule immediate surgeries, yet they were falling like timber before everyone else. The dead doctors in the morgue told a truth their living colleagues wouldn’t: whatever they were practicing wasn’t working.
Wallach might never have noticed this deadly irony if he hadn’t spent thirty years as a veterinarian, performing 17,500 autopsies on 454 species of animals alongside thousands of human autopsies for comparison. In the livestock industry, there’s no insurance to cover sick animals—if farmers used human healthcare economics, hamburger would cost $275 per pound just to pay the medical bills. This brutal economic reality forced veterinarians to master something human doctors scorned: prevention through mineral supplementation. Every day, Wallach watched veterinarians cure diseases in million-dollar racehorses and prize cattle that physicians declared incurable in humans. White muscle disease in lambs, cured with selenium. Diabetes in dogs, reversed with chromium and vanadium. When he discovered he could reproduce cystic fibrosis at will in monkeys simply by creating a nutritional deficiency—proving it wasn’t genetic but nutritional—he rushed to share this breakthrough with the National Institutes of Health. Twenty-four hours later, he was fired. The NIH wasn’t interested in a cure that would eliminate millions in research grants.
The evidence was overwhelming once you knew where to look. Eight cultures scattered across mountain ranges from Tibet to Ecuador routinely produced people who lived to 120, 140, even allegedly 256 years old. The Hunza in Pakistan, the Georgians in the Caucasus Mountains, the Vilcabamba in Ecuador—they all shared something extraordinary. It wasn’t genetics, wasn’t exercise, wasn’t some mystical practice. They drank and irrigated their crops with “glacial milk,” water so thick with minerals it appeared white or gray. When you boiled away a quart of their water, two inches of mineral deposits remained in the pot. Boil away a quart of Evian or Perrier, and you’d get enough minerals to cover the head of a pin. These cultures had accidentally stumbled upon what Wallach’s comparative pathology had proven: every animal and every human that dies of natural causes dies of a nutritional deficiency disease. Not sometimes. Not usually. Always. The minerals ground from the mountains by millions of tons of glacial ice had given these people what modern agriculture had stolen from the rest of us—the 60 essential minerals that serve as cofactors for every biological process in the body.
The American people have been fed a lie so deadly it’s killed more of us than all foreign enemies combined: “You can get everything you need from the four food groups.” The 1936 U.S. Senate Document 264 proved our soils were catastrophically depleted of minerals. The 1992 Rio Earth Summit confirmed it had gotten worse—North American soils are now 85% mineral depleted. Plants can’t manufacture minerals; they can only absorb what’s in the soil, and what’s in the soil is almost nothing. The medical establishment knows this. They have the veterinary evidence, the geological evidence, the comparative pathology evidence. But acknowledging that diabetes is just chromium deficiency, that arthritis is calcium and mineral deficiency, that heart disease is selenium deficiency—that would collapse a trillion-dollar industry overnight. So they keep prescribing drugs that manage symptoms while the underlying deficiencies ravage the body, all while telling their patients to avoid the very supplements that could save them. The truth is so simple it’s almost insulting: for the price of livestock minerals—pennies a day—humans could live past 100 with the vitality of the Hunza elders who still farm at 140. This book is the story of how that truth was discovered, why it’s been suppressed, and what you can do about it starting today.
