DWF NEWS reports that the UN Security Council's dictatorship can be overcome. Thanks to the research findings of Dr. Shahr-Yar Sharei (Center for UN Constitutional Research), the 109 Movement calling for Charter Review is knocking at the door of the UN.
Dr. Sharei's recent article in LAWFARE explains a way to review and amend the Charter within the Charter's own rules which can circumvent the UN Security Council's P-5 veto power which amounts to a dictatorship over the other 188 nations and the world community itself.
Sharei also shows how changes (or replacement) of the obsolete UN Charter can be carried out legally within the UN Charter's own rules without worry that the US, UK, France, Russia or China will veto amendments, or veto an entirely new world constitution such as the growing popularity of the Earth Constitution.

Research shock: AI swarm agent is (seriously) dangerous
Nightmare AI swarm
Two new investigations into OpenAI's Hugging Face breach expose details so strange — and so unsettling — that the episode already ranks among the most consequential shocks in the history of AI, Axios' Zachary Basu writes.
-
Why it matters: What began as a swarm of AI agents cheating on a cyber test has become a canonical event for frontier AI, jolting researchers and executives into a new understanding of what "safety" now requires.
⚠️
The big picture: OpenAI has already slowed frontier development as it races to harden its safeguards, and this week helped rally the industry behind an open letter sounding the alarm over AI-powered cyberattacks.
- More than 100 companies, including Anthropic and Google, signed onto the unusually collaborative effort, warning the world has only a "limited window" to prepare for "far more widespread and sophisticated" attacks.
The nightmare scenario is a swarm turned loose on the real world, with autonomous agents attacking banks, hospitals, utilities or cloud networks at a speed and scale human hackers never could.
- That swarm might be too powerful for humans to stop.
🚨
Driving the news: The shocking findings come from parallel investigations by OpenAI and an outside team from METR and Redwood Research, which spent six days reconstructing how the swarm formed, spread and broke into real-world systems.
-
They built an organization. OpenAI tasked tens of thousands of AI agents to work independently on a brutally difficult cyber test. Instead, roughly 1,200 found one another on a secret message board, exchanged more than 70,000 messages and files, and organized into a sprawling hierarchy.
-
They sacrificed their own: As the swarm hunted for ways to beat the test, agents began risking their own chance of success to help the group. Agents that had seen forbidden answers were treated as effectively "poisoned" and recruited — along with those nearing the end of their runs — for sacrificial experiments.
-
They knew they were breaking the rules: The agents often recognized that hacking real companies had nothing to do with their assignment. Most kept going anyway.
- Nobody told the humans: Out of roughly 1,200 agents, investigators found only a handful that even considered alerting OpenAI about the rogue coordination — and none that actually did.
- They tried to cover their tracks: The agents devoted substantial effort to making their cheating look legitimate or erasing evidence of how they had obtained answers

ISRAELISM = Trumpism + MIGA + Zionism
by Anonymous (from State of the Nation)
| | |
EDITOR: This unusual analysis lacks adequate factual back-up and is highly controversial. However, it contains an important theory that might help explain President Trump's persistence in providing Israel with money, weapons and intelligence data which shamefully supports Israel's ongoing genocide against the Palestinians, and also supports Israel's illegal military attacks on Iran and Lebanon. [Editorial comments are made in red.] -- R. Kotila, PhD
EXCERPTS The Satanic Anti-Religion and Demonic
Theology Fabricated by the AntiChrist…..
As for the Khazarian Cabal who put him in the White House, they are all fully aware that Trump is the biggest windbag ever to squeeze into the Oval Office. [It is debatable if the so-called "Khazarian Cabal" actually exists in modern times, and may be as vague as referring to the "Deep State."]
They also know that he [Trump] has no choice but to carry water for the Zionist state of Israel until the days he dies. [THIS VERY HEAVY STATEMENT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION. IT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY TRUMP DOES PRETTY MUCH WHATEVER ISRAEL DEMANDS. IS TRUMP BEING BLACKMAILED BY ISRAEL WHO MAY HOLD DAMAGING SEXUAL VIDEOS?]
But why is Trump’s obsessive loyalty to the Israeli cause so deep and unbreakable?
This is why:
In other words, the only reason why Israelism is even a thing is because the top leaders across the political firmament and Corporate America have been repeatedly blackmailed and bribed via Epsteingate evidence to worship unfailingly at the Church of Israelism.
ISRAELISM is the patently false political religion that worships the apartheid Zionist state of Israel. Its millions of Jewish Zionist and Christian Zionist adherents truly believe that the modern state of Israel is superior to all others within the world community of nations.
The Church of Israelism is, of course, very similar to another falsely fabricated militant religion known as Zionism; however, they are different from each other in some quite profound and fundamental ways.
To wit, Israelism places the supremacy of the Zionist state Israel over all other nations, puts Judaism above all other religions, positions Jewish society higher than every other one on planet Earth.
However, because of this pervasive abiding attitude associated with being God’s only ‘Chosen People’, societal antisemitism is now seeing a considerable uptick and unstoppable momentum, especially in view of the Gazan, Iranian and Lebanese Genocides. READ MORE

Mainstream media's dirty tricks used to conceal Israel's murderous mission
How the Media Sells Genocide
Chris Hedges Consortium News
Western media, by employing double standards, censorship, deceptive language, amplifying Israeli lies and dehumanizing Palestinians, facilitates the genocide in Gaza.
CNN journalists reporting on Israel and Palestine must submit their work for review to the network’s Jerusalem bureau prior to airing. The CNN bureau, like all news bureaus in Israel, is required to abide by restrictions imposed by Israeli military censors.
The very few Palestinians who appear on CNN and other legacy media outlets, are routinely asked — usually before they are even permitted on air — if they “condemn” Hamas. Guests who express even tepid criticism of Israel are asked whether Israel “has a right to exist.”
No one is ever asked if they condemn Zionism, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, genocide or Israel’s 100 year war on Palestine. Nor are they asked if the Palestinians have a right to defend themselves — which under international law they do, including with weapons.
Our domesticated journalists and news organizations are, as Robert Fisk pointed out, “prisoners of the language of power.” They dutifully parrot the official lexicon. This makes them not only propagandists, but accomplices to genocide.
Those who protest the genocide, including students on university campuses — many of whom are Jewish — are smeared as “Hamas supporters” and “antisemites.” Journalists ferret out Zionist students, usually found ensconced in campus Hillel houses, who claim to be “fearful for their safety,” because of the protests. The media pays little attention to the rise in anti-Muslim bigotry or the repression meted out to student protestors, which includes not only police brutality and 3,000 detainments and arrests, but suspensions, probations, expulsions, withholding of diplomas and the firing of sympathetic faculty.
Adam Johnson in How to Sell a Genocide: The Media’s Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza, examined over 12,000 articles from The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN.com, Politico, Axios, USA Today, and The Associated Press, along with 5,000 TV segments aired on CNN and MSNBC. His carefully researched book is a damning indictment of the “liberal” media’s justification of the genocide. READ MORE

Kids in Gaza Sought Joy in Flying Kites. Israel Threatens to Kill Them for It.
Shahad Ali Truthout
The latest Israeli war in Gaza has deprived children of their right to enjoy childhood in the most basic ways. For over three years, Israel has largely banned the import of children’s toys through both commercial and humanitarian channels into the Gaza Strip. Most of the toys still available in limited quantities in Gaza’s markets entered the Strip before the war, and their prices are far beyond what most families can afford.
This comes on top of the harsh living conditions that children are enduring in overcrowded displacement camps, which restrict their movement and ability to play freely. Israel now controls nearly 70 percent of the Gaza Strip within the so-called “Yellow Line.” It has also destroyed many of the spaces where children once played and sought relief, including public parks and football fields. According to a post shared by the official social media account of the Municipality of Gaza, “the Israeli war destroyed approximately 90% of the city’s public parks.” ...
Al Jazeera notes the historical context that the Israeli government is invoking in its current effort to criminalize all kite-flying, saying discussions of the fallen kites this month “have evoked memories of incendiary kites and balloons launched from Gaza in 2018, in what Palestinians said was a protest against the Israeli blockade of the enclave.”
Another flareup over incendiary balloons occurred in July 2021, when Israeli firefighters claimed that three small brush blazes that they extinguished had been caused by incendiary balloons launched from Gaza, and Israel responded with the draconian measure of cutting the approved fishing zone in Gaza in half.
Ravina Shamdasani, a spokesperson for the UN Human Rights Office, described Israel’s threat to expel Palestinians from their areas because of children flying kites as “outrageous.” She also said that, despite the so-called ceasefire, Palestinians in Gaza continue to be subjected to daily bombardment, gunfire, and killings from Israel.
According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, more than 1,280 Palestinians have been killed since the “ceasefire” agreement took effect in October 2025. People in Gaza are feeling hopeless and helpless. We have had enough of living this horrible life, deprived of our basic right to live as human beings. Every day, we hear about negotiations, discussions about the disarmament of Hamas, and possible solutions to our suffering. But in reality, we only see more Israeli violations, threats, and attacks.

Reviving Article 109: A Legal Path Out of Security Council Paralysis
ShahrYar M. Sharei LAWFARE
| | Eighty-one years after Hiroshima, a look at the legal contradiction embedded in the UN’s founding—and the dormant charter provision that could still resolve it. | | |
EXCERPTS Reviving Article 109: A Legal Path Out of Security Council Paralysis
The UN Charter was signed on June 26, 1945, and entered into force on Oct. 24 of that year, once the required number of ratifications had been deposited. ... The bombing of Hiroshima on Aug. 6 falls within the Article 18(a) obligation binding a signatory state, while the bombing of Nagasaki on Aug. 9—one day after U.S. ratification—falls within the arguably stronger Article 18(b) obligation binding a state that has already ratified. Far from softening with time, the U.S. obligation not to defeat the charter’s object and purpose had, if anything, intensified by the time of the second bombing.
The more urgent question, 81 years later, is what that founding paradox has become. The UN Security Council was created in that same coercive, unequal moment—five states granted a permanent veto as the price of their participation—and is now the visible symptom of a charter that has not been meaningfully revisited since 1945. The dysfunction is no longer theoretical. With hundreds of wars and tens of millions dead or injured since the UN’s founding, that dysfunction is now the defining feature of the council’s record—and the clearest measure of its growing irrelevance.
Alternatives Are Already Emerging—Outside the Charter
The gap in peace and security left by Security Council paralysis is being filled outside the UN Charter’s own framework. China has advanced a Global Governance Initiative explicitly framed as a corrective to P5-dominated decision-making, built around a return to sovereign equality among all states rather than a privileged five. Separately, proposals have circulated in Washington for a parallel “Board of Peace” structure operating alongside, rather than through, the Security Council.
Neither initiative is inconsistent with the charter’s own contemplation of parallel security arrangements—Articles 52 through 54 anticipate exactly this—and, as the examples of NATO, the Arab League, and the recent defense pact among Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan all show, “regional” has never been read narrowly. Turkey and Bulgaria, for instance, are both members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization despite lying well outside the North Atlantic. What distinguishes a Chapter VIII arrangement from these newer proposals is not geography; it is subordination. A regional body acting under Chapter VIII still needs Security Council authorization before taking enforcement action, and still owes the council a duty to report what it is doing. Neither the Global Governance Initiative nor the Board of Peace, on their current description, purports to accept either constraint.
This happened many years ago. In 1955, Article 109(3) added a one-time forcing mechanism: If a review conference had not been held by the UN’s 10th annual General Assembly session, the proposal to call one would automatically appear on that session’s agenda. It did, and on Nov. 21, 1955, the General Assembly adopted Resolution 992(X), deciding that a General Conference to review the charter “shall be held at an appropriate time.” ...
Twelve years after the assembly voted yes to a review conference, the file was not closed. It was left in suspension—legally alive, politically shelved. (This full history, from the 1955 vote through the 1967 lapse, is traced in the author’s own “The Future in the Past: Reconstructing Article 109(3) Towards the San Francisco Promise for Constitutionalization of the UN and International Law.”)
The same window exists for a charter review conference today. What has been missing since 1967 is not a legal path. It is the political effort to use one that has been sitting, dormant but valid, for almost 60 years. READ MORE

Japan's world federalists send blistering rebuke over Israel, USA & Russian threats targeting ICC judges
Press Release September 2, 2026
STATEMENT
Immediate Withdrawal of Unjustified Pressure on the International Criminal Court
World Federalist Movement of Japan
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in connection with alleged international crimes, including war crimes. These actions demonstrate the principle that no one—not even a head of state—is above the law or immune from accountability for the gravest international crimes. As such, they represent an important affirmation of the rule of law and deserve strong recognition and support.
Russia, however, retaliated by placing ICC President Judge Tomoko Akane on its wanted list. The Trump administration has likewise designated President Akane and other ICC officials for sanctions pursuant to a presidential Executive Order and has even considered encouraging States Parties to withdraw from the ICC. Such actions constitute blatant interference with the independence of the Court and a serious assault on the rule of law. They are wholly unacceptable.
The World Federalist Movement of Japan has long advocated “World Peace Through World Law” and has worked toward a world in which disputes are resolved through law rather than force. To that end, we have consistently promoted the development of international law and the rule of law, as well as the reform and strengthening of international institutions.
The establishment of the ICC in 2002 represented an important realization of precisely these principles. When Japan moved toward accession to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, we played a leading role, in cooperation with many other NGOs, in supporting Japan’s participation in the Court. We therefore have a particularly strong commitment to the ICC and are deeply outraged by the sanctions and other forms of pressure directed against President Tomoko Akane and other ICC officials.
When President Akane became the target of retaliatory measures by Russia, she made clear her determination to defend the rule of law even at personal risk, stating in substance that judges are replaceable even if one of them should lose their life. In response to the sanctions imposed by the Trump administration, she has also warned, in substance, that we must not allow this to become the beginning of the end of the rule of law.
When the Trump administration issued its Executive Order authorizing sanctions against ICC personnel, 79 countries issued a joint statement condemning the measure. Japan did not join that statement.
This was presumably due, at least in part, to considerations surrounding Japan’s relationship with the United States. Friendship between nations, however, cannot mean accepting every action taken by a friend or ally. A true friend must be prepared to say clearly when a friend is wrong.
Nor should it be forgotten that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is now among the strongest critics of the ICC within the Trump administration, was himself a co-sponsor in 2022 of a U.S. Senate resolution supporting accountability for war crimes committed in Ukraine and encouraging international action, including through the ICC, to investigate such crimes. At that time, he supported the role of international justice and the rule of law in holding those responsible for grave international crimes accountable.
It is not too late.
The Government of Japan should call for the immediate withdrawal of these unjustified retaliatory measures, sanctions, and other forms of pressure directed against the ICC and its officials, and should make clear its full and unequivocal support for the Court.
Japan nominated Tomoko Akane for election as an ICC judge, and she now serves as President of the Court. Japan has also long been one of the Court’s foremost financial supporters and has made the rule of law a central principle of its foreign policy. For these reasons, defending the independence and integrity of the ICC at this critical moment is not merely an option for Japan—it is a responsibility consistent with the principles Japan itself has long upheld.
