October 2026 sees the final stage in the last six years of 5th Generation, undeclared warfare after commencing with the Covid in 2020. We now move to the next phase; warfare, or negotiated peace.
Protect & SurviveThe Financial Jigsaw Part 2, Episode (100): Completes this series for Part 2 and will now move to Part 3, for the coming years, as the final phase of The Fourth Turning reaches its climax. The Atlanticist cabal are on the back foot as Ukraine takes its last breath and economic mayhem threatens UK and Europe this autumn. Dockworkers launched global strikes against Israeli and US military shipments, with more than 25 unions announcing actions spanning 113 ports in 22 countries and regions. Hope for peace and reconciliation is increasing by the day
Editor’s Note to Readers: “The Financial Jigsaw (TFJ) Part 2 (100 Episodes) is planned to be consolidated into a second book in TFJ series (The Financial Jigsaw Part 2), having documented a six-year period (2020-26), as a disturbing reminder of the effects caused mainly by pursuit of the US ‘Full Spectrum Dominance’ over the last 30 years. The final conclusion of This Fourth Turning will come in the years ahead. This new phase of ‘multipolar geopolitics’ will be tracked in a new TFJ Part 3 series beginning during Q4 2026.”
For the ‘Controllers of the Pentagon’, the Military Industrial Complex (MIC), and the hydrocarbon industry the Cold War never ended. They engineered an incredible plan to seize total control of the planet, by land, sea, air, outer space, and cyberspace. America, enthusiastically assisted by its allies, especially Britain and the EU, created a global network of some 800 military bases producing continuous conflicts to advance a policy of Full Spectrum Dominance. The United States continues to demand that the world bow down to its leadership. A failure to do so is met with the full force of international military action controlled by the USA. This has been the stated United States policy since 1997, but it is now rapidly coming to an end.

The US tactics included control of propaganda, use of NGOs for regime change and nefarious activities under the cloak of charity works. ‘Colour Revolutions’ were perpetuated and NATO was advanced eastward to the very frontiers of the Russian Federation, creating the Ukraine conflict in 2014-22. A vast array of psychological, economic, and 5th Generation warfare techniques were used. Even ‘Save the Gorilla’ organisations in Africa were infiltrated to secretly run arms and wars for vital raw materials. It was all part of a ‘Revolution in Military Affairs’, as the politicians termed it.
China’s ‘State Council Information Office’ issued a report that accused the United States of being the world’s biggest offender of human rights. In “The Report on Human Rights Violations in the United States in 2022,” the Chinese government stated that the United States “has sanctions in place against more than 20 countries, including Cuba since 1962, Iran since 1979, Syria since 2011 and Afghanistan in recent years.”
Calling out the United States as the most prolific enforcer of unilateral sanctions in the world, the report said Washington pursued geopolitical power politics, frequently using its unchallenged military to provoke local proxy wars. The report added that, under the guise of anti-terrorism activities, the US killed 929,000 civilians and displaced some 38 million civilians in 85 countries. During 2017-20, the United States launched 23 “proxy wars” in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific region, the report stated.
The American hysterical reaction to the events of September 11, 2001 caused a worldwide ‘War on Terror’, against an enemy who was everywhere, and yet nowhere. 9/11 justified the Patriot Act, the very act that destroyed the American Constitutional freedoms in the name of ‘National Security’. America had its hegemonic moment after the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union. For a decade, Pentagon spending was curbed and the Clinton administration produced budgetary surpluses by the end of the 1990s. By 2026, the US national debt rose above $40 trillion because of hegemonic hubris, conceit, and covert deception using military might in place of true statesmanship and traditional diplomacy to avoid kinetic warfare.
The importance of using diplomacy to broker peace drove the creation of the United Nations in 1945. That year, the UN Charter, the organisation’s foundational treaty, was adopted to “save succeeding generations from the scourge of war”. America abandoned this crucial policy directive.
For the first time in history, America suffered sudden national trauma after the 9/11 attacks on its own soil in 2001. The response was typical of a reaction to any extreme personal loss and grief: anger and revenge became the state-sponsored precedent and a declaration of a global “War on Terror.” Meanwhile, losses in Afghanistan, Iraq, and now Iran, have devastated the US strategic weapons inventory to the point that a profligate Pentagon achieved eight failed audits… and counting. Nobody has yet been held accountable for these lost wars, squandered spending, and wanton corruption.
The paradox is that those punished were patriotic whistleblowers who had tried to warn about what became a massive system of gangsterism corruption and outright theft from ordinary American citizens. In addition, there were those on the receiving end of US military power; all those innocents killed, maimed, and displaced by America’s state of permanent wars across the globe, both military and increasingly with random civilians, in the name of ‘National Security’; an all-embracing term for egregious grift, corruption, and the blind pursuit of power for its own sake.
Any state’s security comes from the exercise of constitutional rights and freedoms, a collective moral wisdom, and a willingness to defend what is right, legal, and true to God’s laws. War is not security in any form. War certainly isn’t peace, although many implicated politicians claim that peace can only be obtained through warfare; a state of permanent war isn’t sustainable and is now threatening to bring economic and financial ruin on people committed to liberty and justice for all, especially the weak and the vulnerable.
The two major conflicts today, Ukraine and Iran, will either be resolved by peaceful diplomacy or by brutal kinetic warfare. Source: Edited extracts from Bill Astore’s essay:
UKRAINE: The Strategic Balance Sheet
Andrey Sushentsov, dean of the Faculty of International Relations at MGIMO and a member of the Scientific-Expert Council under the Security Council of the Russian Federation, discusses why Western Europe is so afraid of a direct confrontation with Russia, how the US is shifting the burden of the Ukraine crisis onto the EU, why the “pyramid of trust” surrounding Kiev is crumbling, and when the Ukraine conflict might come to an end. His interview, first published in Russian by TASS, was translated and edited by RT. Sources

Late October 2026 marks the arrival of a structural breaking point in this battlespace:
- The Transit Spine is Fractured: The ballistic destruction of the rail bed on Kyiv’s South Bridge initiates the physical isolation of Ukrainian forces operating on the Left Bank, cutting the high-tonnage supply of artillery munitions and fuel.
- The Diplomatic Channel is Dead: Vladimir Putin’s rejection of the Støre-Stubb initiative proves that Moscow will not grant operational pauses or entertain frozen conflicts. The terms of peace require the unconditional acceptance of Russia’s security perimeter.
- The Western War Machine is Deluded: Trapped in a loop where the CIA manufactures its own operational successes, European leaders accumulate trillions in debt, and think-tanks publish fictional maps, the Atlanticist alliance has lost contact with reality.
The Russian General Staff is not waiting for the November 10 talks in Abu Dhabi. The bridges are cracking, the locomotives are burning, the cauldrons are compressing. The combined-arms forces of the Russian Federation are finalising the military geography of the region on the battlefield.
On Sonar21, former CIA officer, Larry Johnson provided an analysis explaining why Washington remains incapable of formulating a coherent policy: the Central Intelligence Agency under Director John Ratcliffe is no longer acting as an objective intelligence agency, but as an operational combatant running a covert war.
By institutional design, operational managers suppress negative field assessments, purge dissenting analysts, and feed the White House a steady stream of politicised intelligence to justify an escalation cycle against Donald Trump’s bilateral fuel agreements with Moscow.
On Sonar21, former CIA counter-terrorism analyst Larry Johnson provided an insider assessment of why the Western national security apparatus continues to misjudge the correlation of forces. Johnson pointed to the dynamic that led to historic failures like the 1961 Bay of Pigs: the moment an intelligence agency ceases to be an objective observer and becomes the direct operational manager of a covert war, analytical integrity is extinguished. Under Director John Ratcliffe, the CIA has taken ownership of Ukraine’s deep-strike and targeting campaigns.
Because the CIA leadership promised the Oval Office that asymmetric drone strikes against Russian refineries and airfields would destabilise Vladimir Putin’s domestic standing, the analytical branches have been incentivised to validate that premise. Assessments documenting the failure of the drone offensive, the depletion of Ukrainian manpower, and the inaccuracy of casualty figures are systematically suppressed or returned for “re-sourcing.”
The resignation of senior analysts, like Julia Curley who stated that Ratcliffe is actively politicising the CIA, revealed an institution structured to fight a proxy war rather than understand it. This analytical distortion explains why the White House oscillates between pursuing diesel agreements with Moscow and endorsing escalatory targeting policies driven by an intelligence bureaucracy operating on self-generated metrics.
WEST ASIA & ISRAEL – SitRep October 2026
The US has warned several Gulf Arab countries to prepare for a short but intense military campaign against Iran after the November 3, US mid-term elections, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter. According to the WSJ, Donald Trump is leaning toward launching major strikes on Iran’s infrastructure and nuclear facilities, although no final decision has been made.

THE GAZA TRAGEDY – SPECIAL REPORT FROM 2023
It should also be understood that Netanyahu’s October 7, 2023 illegal declaration of war against Gaza is in fact a continuation of its 2008-09 invasion of Gaza under “Operation Cast Lead.” The underlying objective is the outright military occupation of Gaza by Israel’s IDF forces and the expulsion of Palestinians from their homeland.

The purpose of Operation Cast Lead was to confiscate Palestine’s maritime natural gas reserves. In the wake of the invasion, Palestinian gas fields were de facto confiscated by Israel in derogation of international law. A year following “Operation Cast Lead,” Tel Aviv announced the discovery of the Leviathan natural gas field in the Eastern Mediterranean, “off the coast of Israel.”
At the time the gas field was, “… the most prominent field ever found in the sub-explored area of the Levantine Basin, which covers about 83,000 square kilometres of the eastern Mediterranean region.” Coupled with the Tamar field, in the same location, discovered in 2009, there are prospects for an energy bonanza for Israel, Houston, Texas Noble Energy & Delek Drilling, Avner Oil Exploration, and Ratio Oil Exploration.

EUROPE – THE FUTURE OF THE EU
Europe’s next crisis is already hiding behind the riots. The streets may eventually fall silent, but the struggle over who governs, who pays, and what survives is only just beginning. None of these people know what to expect from the future of mainstream European politics. In this shifting landscape, old institutions are losing their legitimacy, while right-wing political forces, whose ideas are increasingly seen as rational amid the chaos, are emerging on the broader European stage.
Today, it has reached the point of aggressive absurdity. The old narratives of ‘liberation’ have been successfully adopted by the bourgeois youth, whose behaviour is more violent than that of a barbaric tribe, as HSE professor Alexander Filippov, notes. However, we might remember that, centuries ago, the Bastille wasn’t stormed by migrants either.
Unelected President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen suggested at a Paris business forum in August that Europeans should tighten their belts and become a continent that “produces, invests, and protects” by tapping into “idle” domestic savings. Her logic implies using household savings (think pension funds – €3.5 Trillion!) to fund the real economy through the Capital Markets Union.
Clearly, the proposal to dip into citizens’ savings while shifting the risks of factory bankruptcies can only be met with outrage by the decent bourgeoisie brought up on ‘European ideals’. History demonstrates that the middle class often struggles to maintain their standard of living during economic downturns. The liberal mainstream would rather burn cities than allow rational thinkers, with world-views grounded in national interests, to come to power.
In Western Europe, political recriminations over the telephone conversation between Vladimir Putin, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre have escalated into open administrative conflict. In Washington and London, official commitments to underwrite the war effort are increasingly colliding with domestic political exhaustion and budget crises.
Meanwhile, European efforts to force their way into the upcoming trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi have been systematically shut down by the Kremlin, underscoring the continent’s deepening diplomatic irrelevance in the high-stakes negotiations between Washington and Moscow.
Budapest serves as a prime example of this systemic failure. The Hungarian Parliament is currently reviewing the national budget proposal. Prime Minister Peter Magyar acknowledged that the country is grappling with a record-breaking, suffocating budget deficit of 7.5% to 8.3% of GDP. The economic strategies of past years, reliant on uninterrupted cheap energy from Russia and long-term loans from China, have collapsed under the pressure of the ‘REPowerEU plan’. This is the roadmap for the EU’s strategy to remove Russian oil, gas, and nuclear energy imports from EU markets in a gradual and coordinated way.

Editor’s Note: WAR & PEACE; SUMMARY UPDATES: Reports have been postponed due to limited editorial space. Nothing of significance is expected to happen until after US mid-terms. Except in the global financial system: I have argued that at some point between now and Q2 2027; expect a crash.
AFTERWORD: Israel Election Result: “Netanyahu may be giving us a clue as to the card that his friend Donald Trump will play when his party loses the mid-term elections next Tuesday, November 3. Trump has already made it clear that if he loses it could only be because the other side rigged the deck against him. In Trump’s mind, he has never lost an election and if he were to lose, it could never be because a majority of Americans have come to realise he’s a theatrical drama queen who lies continuously and acts recklessly. No, it could only be because his opponents cheated. These are the actions of dictators.
Expect them to pull out every trick in the book to hold onto power and throw the world into deeper chaos and division, as this provides cover for the international war crimes that both men have committed and will continue committing unless forcibly stopped. In both cases, they know that if they lose their hold on power there’s a good chance they will go to jail for a very long time.” Sources
