Fulford’s Report:
Summer Political Assassinations Portend Autumn Revolution
Three, or more likely four, high-level political assassinations last week are a foretaste of what is likely to be a revolutionary autumn. The people killed were US warmonger Lindsey Graham, Sheikh Al Thani of Qatar, Reform UK spokeswoman Ann Widdecombe and, most likely, Senator Mitch McConnell.
In addition to these deaths, many high-profile individuals have gone into hiding, such as US Vice President JD Vance, Palantir head Peter Thiel, the head of British Intelligence, and others as a high-stakes battle over control of the West enters its final phase.
Meanwhile, attempts to gouge other countries for money to pay US bills have led to popular protests and riots in multiple countries and regions as the common people take arms against the Western elite.
There are also huge geopolitical tectonic shifts underway as former US allies prepare for the collapse of their former master.
Let us start with the death of warmonger Zionist Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. “On the evening of Saturday, July 11, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham passed away from a brief and sudden illness. Senator Graham’s family appreciates prayers at this time and asks for privacy during this incredibly difficult period,” Graham’s office posted on the senator’s social media page.
However, nobody really believes he died of illness. Iranian sources contacted us to say he died before arriving in the US. Others have pointed out he was visiting a drone factory in the Ukraine on July 10th as it got bombed by Russia. Train and plane schedules make it clear he could not have returned by the 11th. Meanwhile, US military intelligence says he was hit by a particle beam weapon similar to the one that killed [North Korean Leader] Kim Jong-un.
Regardless, the vast majority of the blogosphere said “good riddance.” The Russian news agency Tass commented “Senator Lindsey Graham was known for his anti-Russian activities. Moscow included him on the list of terrorists and extremists.”
https://tass.com/world/2159139
In the US he was notorious for saying Israel was more important than America. He also said “I love Donald Trump because his [MAGA] supporters believe he’s on their side.”
Graham died just after he informed Ukrainian dictator Vladimir Zelensky that the Trump White House approved high tariffs to be imposed on countries like India and China that continue to buy Russian oil and natural gas.
A death likely linked to that of Graham was Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani of Qatar, who passed away on the morning of July 12 at the age of 74,

Al Thani died after US Vice President JD Vance, Jared Kushner, special envoy Steve Witkoff, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio went to Oman on July 11th to negotiate the opening of the Straits of Hormuz.
Iran’s news agency reported earlier that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was set to travel to Oman on July 11 to discuss the situation in the Strait of Hormuz with the country’s authorities.
https://tass.com/world/2158933
Clearly the negotiations did not go well because the next day as Al Thani died: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps struck the Port of Duqm and Musandam Governorate in Oman, less than twenty-four hours after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi sat across from his Omani counterpart Badr al-Busaidi in Muscat to negotiate safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC described the targets as “logistical support centres for naval vessels and refuelling facilities for US aircraft carriers,” according to Tasnim
https://houseofsaud.com/iran-strikes-oman-mediator/
What happened was the Americans convinced Oman to allow US ships to go through their side of the straits without paying a fee. The Iranians made it clear that is not going to happen.
This is a life-and-death situation for the UNITED STATES Corporation. Oil controlled by the Corporation and its Rockefeller owners is being cut off. Saudi exports in June were 4.3 million bpd, around 3 million bpd below February levels. Kuwaiti output is 1 million bpd short of pre-conflict production. Iraq, OPEC’s second-largest producer, exported about 780,000 bpd in June, down 3.1 million bpd from before the war. So, the US Corporation is running an over 7 million bpd shortfall.
This is why US Presidential Avatar Donald Trump declared a National Fertilizer Emergency. The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve is now so low that the US only has 10 to 20 days of emergency oil left. A full National Oil Emergency is coming soon.
The real question now is, will the US military white hats throw the entire fake Trump regime under the bus to prevent an economic shutdown. White hat military sources say the answer is likely to be the end of the Trump regime. One senior Pentagon source said:
Donald Trump’s immunity has been stripped… The US Supreme Court has ruled to strip Trump of his immunity within the framework of the Epstein Case. The path to his trial has been cleared. He could be impeached.
This brings us to Senator Mitch McConnell. Mitch McConnell has been missing in action since June 14th. If he is dead, then an election will have to be held that will almost certainly have Epstein exposer Rep. Thomas Massie take over his seat.
White House officials say McConnell is: Officially brain-dead, organ failure is accelerating, life-support machine is keeping him “alive” but his brain is officially dead, and his wife has fled the country to China.
https://x.com/LauraLoomer/status/2074281550535934173
However, hours after the sudden death of Lindsey Graham, his office released a photo showing him to be apparently alive.
If McConnell has died and Republicans covered it up to avoid the special election required under Kentucky law, those responsible will face prison.
The Graham-McConnell drama is part of a bigger battle to bring the Epstein criminals to justice.
On that front, FBI director Kash Patel faces angry Senate Republican demands and faces a looming threat next week: Todd Blanche’s confirmation as Attorney General.
The white hats in the US military and intelligence community are also thinking of giving up on their “white hat” version of Trump because the brand has been hopelessly damaged.
For one thing, “Trump” is a hunted man. Iranian Judiciary chief Gholamhossein Mohseni Eje’I says Iran is determined to prosecute those responsible for war crimes committed by the United States and the Israeli regime against the nation.
“We are determined to prosecute and punish the war criminals. They must be punished in proportion to their crimes and compensate for the damages they have caused,” he noted.
Iranian media has shown a list of politicians being personally targeted for revenge. This includes “Trump,” Netanyahu, several of his ministers, the head of the Israeli President’s administration, along with leaders of European countries.
“Trump” has responded by posting:
1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands of more to immediately follow, should the Iranian Government act on its threat, pronounced in many corners of the Globe, to assassinate, or attempt to assassinate, the sitting President of the United States of America, in this case, ME! (insert Trump tweet)
This is the first time in history a president announcing war crimes in advance. Donald Trump just threatened to destroy an entire country—Iran—and kill all its civilians, and mocked Islam. This is not diplomacy, nor foreign policy, nor even wants to make a deal. This is terrorism
The other reason the Trump brand is beyond repair is the rampant corruption it is involved in.
In the latest example:
The U.S. loosened export controls on the United Arab Emirates on Friday, making it easier to export Nvidia AI chips, military equipment, commercial satellites and spacecraft…
Elizabeth Warren, the ranking member of the Senate Banking Committee.
“We already know that the UAE royal behind G42 and MGX secretly bought a 49% stake in the Trump crypto company, World Liberty Financial,” Warren said in a statement.
“Now, Trump’s Commerce Department is giving G42 license-free access to advanced AI chips and promising favorable treatment for MGX, despite reported concerns about the diversion of sensitive technology to China and other national security risks.”
Donald Trump earned $636 million from his memecoin, while one million retail investors lost a combined $3.81 billion. Just imagine a sitting President scamming his own people. Never happened before in American history.
The Trump administration on Friday moved to open the habitats of imperiled animals to farming, drilling, mining, real estate development, and other activities in what environmentalists characterized as the most severe erosion of protections for wildlife in half a century.
Under the rule, destroying an endangered species’ nest or habitat would no longer be considered illegal.
These Messianic whack jobs think there is no need to protect the environment because we are living in end times.
This is why there is a move to replace the entire “Trump” regime with a white-hat group using JD Vance as their spokesperson. Vance is leasing part of a sprawling property in rural Virginia to serve as an additional residence for his family. Former President John F. Kennedy once owned an estate in the area, while former President Ronald Reagan once rented a home in the area to serve as a base of operations during his 1980 presidential campaign. So, clearly, the faction behind Kennedy and Reagan is pinning its hopes on Vance.

Regardless of who is in charge, nothing can stop the end of the UNITED STATES Corporation and the post-war international system they presided over.
As things stand, defense officials asked for more than $67 billion in supplemental funding, but cannot get it.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/pentagon-running-money-rcna352232
The money is not there:
US monthly borrowing for 2026 now sits at roughly $155 billion, or $39 billion per week. And, like any borrower, the latest from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) confirms that net interest on public debt for the fiscal year has hit $857 billion: roughly $23.8 billion a week.
Interest payments on the debt are now $20 billion larger than the outlays for the Departments of Defense, Commerce, Homeland Security, Education, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Small Business Administration, and the U.S. Coronavirus Refundable Credits scheme—combined.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/ar-AA27Dx34
This money is being paid to the trillionaire owners of the Federal Reserve Board as well as China.
This is leading to widely under-reported mass unrest in the US. For example, rioters in L.A. are burning self-driving Waymo cars, each worth $600K. Police are asking the company to shut down the app as people lure cars into protest zones and set them on fire.
This is not just an American problem:
Most developing countries spent less on education than they did on repaying debt last year, according to the UN, at the same time as global aid to education is predicted to decline by up to 30%.
More was spent on servicing foreign debt than on education in 113 developing countries in 2025, according to research by the UN’s culture and education agency, Unesco.
The Khazarian Mafia have been trying to squeeze so much money from developing countries that it is leading to riots worldwide.
In Argentina, Javier Milei’s approval rating has plummeted to 35.5 percent, with disapproval surging to 63 percent.
Commuter transit costs have skyrocketed following subsidy removals, and utility bills have tripled for middle-class households. The poverty rate has spiked drastically, leaving vast swathes of the population entirely disenfranchised by the administration’s refusal to fund social safety nets.
In Kenya, President William Ruto’s administration is facing violent nationwide protests over IMF-backed tax hikes and austerity measures mandated to service a crushing sovereign debt load.
In Brazil, rioters are attacking and destroying HAARP facilities as part of a general revolt against the elite.
In Chile, President José Antonio Kast thought that, just like in Argentina, people were going to stay quiet watching as they destroy jobs, healthcare, and education, and now his police are being attacked with Molotov cocktails….
These nations are trying to balance the merciless demands of international creditors against a deeply impoverished, increasingly desperate electorate.
The Ukraine is the worst example of bad governance.
Ukraine government admitted in May 2026 that only 22–25 million people now live in Kyiv-controlled territory, compared to over 50 million in 1991. Indirect indicators — banking users, SIM card registrations, social payment recipients — suggest the real population may already be below 20 million.
Now, Ukrainians are lynching regime thugs trying to drag people into their losing war.
So now the Ukrainian regime is trying to replace its population with people from India and other developing nations.
The economic rationale is stated plainly in Ukrainian policy discussions: migrants work for less, demand less, and — as one analysis put it with unusual candor — “do not pose political risks.” Unlike Ukrainian workers, who demand living wages and have the nerve to resist forced mobilization, foreign labor is convenient. Compliant. Cheap.
The KM corruption is leading to regime change in many countries. In Albania, riots continue daily as its government was caught trying to sell a military base to Jared Kushner.
Now a Miami-based businessman wanted in Albania for allegedly laundering drug money is suspected of faking the deeds to land where Jared Kushner wants to build a multi-billion-dollar resort, the country’s organized crime-fighting agency says.
Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vucic was forced to resign following public fury over a controversial luxury development deal involving Jared Kushner. Kushner’s firm, Affinity Partners, planned to build a luxury hotel and Trump-branded tower on the site of a historic, NATO-bombed Yugoslav military building.
With this background “Trump” and his regime were treated like a pariah at last week’s NATO summit meeting in Turkey.
For example, when Spanish President Pedro Sanchez was told by Trump “We will cut trade relations with Spain for Israel,” Sanchez responded: “There are things more valuable than trade, like human life. We won’t be part of a war where women, children, and the elderly are brutally slaughtered.”
While other Western countries were less directly confrontational, it is clear they are moving away from the current US administration\
This was seen in all the deals that emerged from the arms merchants organization known as NATO.
Canada announced the largest defense contract in its history when it agreed to buy submarines from Germany in a program that could be worth $100 billion or more.
Canada also announced it would buy Norwegian missiles, Canadian military satellites and Canadian military vehicles.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/submarines-germany-canada-norway-south-korea-9.7259709
Meanwhile, NATO said it would replace 10 aging surveillance planes with new ones supplied by Swedish manufacturer Saab as part of a ten nation consortium. Also, representatives from 15 nations announced a multinational effort to buy air-to-air refueling and transport planes from Airbus.
This amounts to a Western boycott of US arms manufacturers. So, NATO is saying “we will boost military budgets like you keep asking us to, but you won’t get any of the money.”
More significantly still, the UK signed a new military alliance with Turkey:
The Partnership will enable the UK and Türkiye to strengthen their co-operation by deepening consultations through new mechanisms on the politico-military aspects of security and defense policy, including deterrence and defense, military co-operation, defense industry and technology, cybersecurity and hybrid threats, counter-terrorism, resilience and civil preparedness and space.
This is interesting because France and Israel have announced an alliance with Turkish enemy Greece.
The Greek newspaper EFSYN has published a report alleging that a series of sensitive underwater military tests were carried out in the Aegean Sea earlier this year, with the participation of Israeli defense firms. The media outlet claimed that the tests involved the use of explosives like TNT, as well as toxic and radioactive substances.
British intelligence explains that with the US leaving the region, Turkey will fill the gap. Turkey will preside over the transformation of the satanic state of Israel into the multi-ethnic, multi-religious state of Judea. They will also help ensure Iran does not take over the entire Middle East.
This is why “Trump” offered to provide Turkey with F-35 warplanes despite Israeli objections. At the same time Turkey is breaking with Russia and offering to sell its S400 Russian anti-aircraft missile defenses of the UAE.
Western Europe desperately needs Turkey to help deal with Russia because without US help, it is the only country that can protect them.
Right now, the UK is losing the proxy war in Ukraine against Russia. This is because Russia is using a 100GW Chinese Starlink destroyer microwave weapon that disables drones, comm networks and satellites.
Now Russia has deployed 10 Starlink jammers on the front to counter Ukrainian drone strikes.
They announced: Russian air defense forces have destroyed over 180,000 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) since the start of the special military operation in Ukraine, according to the latest report released by Russia’s Defense Ministry.
“Overall, the following targets have been destroyed since the start of the special military operation: 673 aircraft, 284 helicopters, 180,451 unmanned aerial vehicles, 665 surface-to-air missile systems, 30,143 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 1,757 multiple rocket launchers, 35,747 field artillery guns and mortars and 66,376 special military motor vehicles,” the ministry said in a statement.
https://tass.com/politics/2159563
However, a peace deal has already been reached with Russia and this is likely to be announced after regime change comes to the UK this autumn. This regime change is going to be bumpy: The savage killing of 78-year-old Reform UK spokeswoman Ann Widdecombe has unleashed a torrent of vile celebration from left-wing activists, revealing the depths of ideological hatred among the left in the UK.
Nigel Farage, the leader of Reform UK, said he feared that “for anybody in public life, or especially the political space, things have become even more dangerous to them.”
UK intelligence assures us the British military will make sure the KM will not be able to use political murders to stay in power after September. This will make peace in Ukraine possible.
However, in the Middle East Turkey is headed for some sort of proxy war, or else a big bargain is about to be made with Iran over the fate of Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Middle East.
This needs to happen soon because Yemen has just declared war on Saudi Arabia:
Yemen’s Houthi Government said an aircraft carrying stranded civilians, patients, and an official Yemeni delegation landed safely at homeland despite Saudi airstrikes targeting Sana’a International Airport earlier in the day…the aircraft’s successful landing dealt a major blow to the Saudi regime and its proxies, arguing that the attack on Sana’a International Airport has opened the gates of hell for Riyadh and its mercenary forces.
Yemen’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the strike marked “the beginning of a new war,” asserting that Saudi Arabia bears full responsibility for the attack and “all its consequences.”
Saudi Arabia admitted it was helpless when it reported:
Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, and Jordan issued a joint condemnation of Iranian attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz on July 12, united by a condemnation that none of them can individually or collectively enforce.
https://houseofsaud.com/four-states-condemned-iran-none-can-enforce-it/
Make no mistake, the fall of Saudi Arabia will mean the fall of Israel and its UNITED STATES Corporation.
Even if by some miracle the US gets its hands on more oil before economic activity grinds to a halt, the bursting of the AI bubble will finish it off:
Career Treasury analysts found that AI firms are more deeply entrenched in the U.S. economy than their dot-com predecessors and pose significant risk to the entire system if financial conditions change, productivity goals are missed or various choke points stymie growth.
A downturn in the AI market would send shockwaves throughout the entire economic ecosystem, the analysts wrote.
https://www.notus.org/economy/treasury-internal-report-warning-dangers-ai-bubble
That downturn is a mathematical certainty:
Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora told CNBC AI token prices need to fall as much as 90% before enterprise adoption can actually scale.
They need $2-3T of AI spending by 2030 for the buildout to make sense. It probably won’t even be $100B.
So that means AI is overvalued by as much as 30 times what it is really worth.
By the way, as further proof that this AI push was a last-minute effort to enslave us, on July 10, 2026, Japan enacted a “Personal Information Protection Law” to “support of AI development.” It will pass along the most sensitive information such as our medical history, creed, and criminal record to the outside without your consent as a part of a contract with Palantir.
The UK, France, Spain, Holland, and others have already dumped Palantir. Japan will do so as well. Their KM slave government is being saved for last, but its end is near.
The regime in France is also close to its end. A French patriot with strong government links tells us “The old guard is really retiring.”
The July 14th celebrations to commemorate the start of the French Revolution with the storming of the Bastille will make it clear. According to our source, the government will be deploying Ukrainian units on the Champs-Élysées for security instead of French troops. He says they won’t be playing the Marseillaise. Instead, they will be playing the German EU anthem Ode to Joy. “The event is going to be boycotted by most senior French officials, including the military. The Élysée Palace decided to pay people to applaud, and it’s getting more and more expensive to find people. Élysée Palace is forbidding wide shots for television channels so we don’t see that the Champs-Élysées is almost deserted during the parade. A pathetic end to his [President Emmanuel Macron’s] reign.”
Given this overall situation, it is clear we need a major international conference this autumn to reboot the entire Western system. This will require a jubilee to cancel all debts both public and private. It will also mean a redistribution of assets. We also need to set up a future planning organization.
At the highest levels, an agreement has already been reached between Eastern and Western secret societies that from now on our purpose as a species will be to increase the amount and variety of life, including human life. The only thing that is preventing a new Cambrian explosion on this planet is an ancient death cult that controls Western elites. In thousands of years they have never been as weak as they are now. If we all make one big push we can remove them from power and set humanity free.

Stillness General Comment on Fulford Reports
I decided to add this general comment to all Fulford reports since I frequently receive the same questions about them.
Commentary:
In response to many questions and comments I receive from people wondering why I share these reports, I offer the following.
Speaking as someone who has been following Fulford’s reports since 2011, reading them should probably be done with a large grain of salt. That is to say, he seems to share information directly from alleged sources within the Pentagon, CIA, White Dragon Society, and so on. Often the data presented is contradictory on the surface.
The predictions and statements Fulford makes sometimes are highly accurate, whereas, in other instances, they are completely unfounded. Instead of looking to Fulford as one who is “tapped into” some greater truth, it would probably be more productive to consider his data as one possible perspective on what is happening on Earth at this time.
This of course extends to all sources of information. Fulford, like all of us, is only human and can make mistakes. But that doesn’t detract from the work he has done to spread awareness and move things forward to a brighter future for humanity.
Discernment is the process of understanding what something is, which in Fulford’s case, means entertaining his reports without believing them blindly, and then doing the follow-up research/fact-checking to determine what actually happened. In this way, it is a real-time discernment exercise.
The fact that so many people continue to read his reports despite their sensational and wildly inaccurate nature at times—while also being accurate and poignant—means the people he receives information from are probably using him as a mouthpiece to speak to you—the reader who is on their awakening path. As such, blind belief or callous rejection are not our allies but critical thinking and open-mindedness are.
As I have said before, if he is serving as a mouthpiece for various groups working to change the status quo or agents within the Cabal, we can decipher the data as if it is a form of awakening propaganda—information that certain players want to expose the masses to. What effect this has on your personal process is largely up to you. But I would suggest taking an active role in discernment and not falling into the trap of total acceptance or rejection.
