Kasparov is in the news to be in the news, because the News makes sure to put him there. Like Lindsay Graham.

There are 100 Senators and 99 of them think Lindsay is an -sshole. I’m sorry, I thought all Senators had EQUAL votes, and equal weights, thus very equal relevance, but I guess I’m wrong. There is but only ONE U.S. Senator, and his name is Graham.

…That’s what the News tells me!

Now Whyyyyyyy? All Ukraine news is “Graham says this! Graham says that!” IDGAF what Graham says, when I hear, I’ll do the #Opposite like everyone else. Graham DOES NOT EXIST. He is not a living human being. He’s a non-being, non-person with no more relevance than a fly. So. WHO is pushing this ONE – only one – of One hunned, Senators? Always, reliably, unmistakably, invariably?

Yeah, I want to know who THAT guy is. What’s HIS name. You know, the real living, relevant person that is not Lindsay Graham.

Alexander is still on this! He loves, loves, loves, LOVES “Bone crushing sanctions” almost more than life, more than the Catholic liturgy, more than his dogs and children. He says it many, many, many times every show.

Alex: THERE ARE NO SANCTIONS. AT ALL. And certainly not “Bone-crunching” ones. They don’t exist, they are no more, they never were. And you should know that because they are likewise from Lindsay Graham, the world’s least relevant Senator. When I hear you say “Sanctions” I hear “Santa Claus”.

We’re very very busy! Why are we talking about things that don’t exist? Again.

By the way, that Jewbacabra hunt in going well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omJV1EGgwx0

“Mila Joy”

Yes, it’s all Kayfabe. They have to get you invested in the story. What if “They” just cleaned up, arrested, shot some folks? We’d all be on the couch, doing nothing, risking nothing, fighting nothing, a minute later America is lost again. They HAVE to make it hurt for us. They HAVE to have it lost, then found, so we know WHY American values have meaning. If they held the line and didn’t allow any suppression of speech, courts, etc, we wouldn’t know WHY.

Now that’s not to say there aren’t real good guys and bad guys out there, but IF the Good Guys get an upper hand, they can’t/shouldn’t use it until YOU say they should. …Which is now “happening” as Trump says he arrests Obama, and crickets. No riots, no outrage. Everyone thinks Epstein is real, all demanding arrests, Left and Right alike. You think this was, but it wasn’t true only two years ago. If Trump called out the Nat’l Guard on D.C. when they BURNED A WHITE HOUSE BUILDING, in 2020, they would have removed him, we would have lost.

Now people are so fed up, when he does, they shrug.

It takes what it takes.

But that’s the real quote and arc with Obama and the law. Remember: Obama isn’t the mastermind either, he’s just another muppet, he may head a few committee meetings, but his power comes from the CIA/Derp State and they can add and remove him seamlessly.

“Kash Patel announced 1600 people have been arrested for CRIMES against KIDS in the last 200 days”

Soooo….The Biden administration had no idea this was going on? None? Huh. So weird.

And yesterday, the Biden Administration is DOING THE TRAFFICKING. They lost 200-500k kids and didn’t care.

Yay! Now they can finally own it. A flicker of truth appears at last.

““The fact that Trump is even meeting with Putin is being felt as a huge slap in the face in Kiev.”

Duran: the ceasefire terms are: Frozen conflict forever, We go back to the 1991 borders, take Crimea, and re-arm with infinity weapons as a few more Ukrainian men clock into age.

Then the U.S. gives “Security Guarantees”, NATO sends an occupying force, and France bombs them, causing the U.S. to attack and conquer Russia while the Euro bat their eyelashes and clutch their pearls.

…I see no problem, sounds awesome.

These people need to be nuked. Those aren’t even reasonable terms for WINNING a war, much less catastrophically and completely LOSING one, as Ze said publicly only yesterday. Was it Kellogg who said, “We will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever recognize ANY territorial wins from Russia, if it takes 1,000 years”? Seems like.

These people need to get nuked. As long as no one is socked in the eye, collapsed, and hung upside down in the streets, they just go on forever like this.

UK, Labour Party is like, “We don’t like a particular Indian stature here in Parliament.” That’s our top talk and priority. So, the people are about to hang you in the streets, and this is your focus? It’s a Bold Plan, I hope it pays off.

Anyway, none of this matters. It’s all Trump trying to set peace, Putin pretending to give pretty generous historical terms, so all Europe can reject them and look like the deranged psychopathic maniacs they are. Then Trump turns to the American people and goes, “Eh?” and America says F– It. We already have, and if fact always do, 100 years running, but the sell is to the 30 million PMC laptop Federal Workers, most of whom are in Defense, the others are women who apparently vote for having every man (and child) killed if they can. That’s the audience he needs to swing. Out on the streets is an easy sell: we dgaf.

“In Rutte’s dreams, Trump goes to Alaska to “test” Putin, Putin fails the test, and Trump will then support a full-blown NATO war against Russia. “

Yup. But UK will need to kill a few thousand NATO, maybe with a nuke, just to make sure. Don’t worry: they’re always up to something. Busy-Busy.

“He basically broke the deadlock, President Trump, in February, starting the dialogue with Putin. I think that was crucial.”

Wow, that’s great. One question: if it was so good, why didn’t BIDEN break the deadlock by … Talking? It takes a Trump to use a telephone now? Talk about -ss kissing: “Trump used a telephone and I think it’s magical. World-setting.”

You got me.

“President Donald Trump hosted the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan for the signing of an historic peace deal between the two countries and the U.S.”

Depends on what’s in it, but I thought Trump was a man of war. War everywhere all the time. What gives?

““Europe is heading inexorably towards centralism. The question remains: Will the monetary coup succeed, or will the eurozone collapse first?”

Excellent way to put it. Time is chasing them, can they add enough fascism in time?

And in good news, Peanut the Election-swinging squirrel may be avenged yet again. Looks like NY will lose $1M for wrongful death, and also for a raccoon, same time. So people of New York are overjoyed they paid for the million dollar SWAT Team to kill a squirrel they didn’t want harmed, THEN pay another $1M for the reparations of the murder. Circle of Life.

I say no: Agencies keep insurance for this, but if it is ruled “Wrongful” then by definition it is not part of their government duties, but entirely rogue. Same as if I kill my ex as a policeman.

“The Goods

(Fuentes). Nails Tucker Carlson on the issue of Carlson’s knowledge of whether his father, a colour-revolution operative, was in the CIA! Carlson seems relatively sane and reasonable, but he is deep, deep, deep, deep swamp. It is ironic that the gist of Carlson’s attack on Fuentes – that he is inauthentic and working for the enemies of the reasonable people – applies to Carlson, who is pushing swamp lines by pretending to be a reasonable person. As an example, Vance isn’t a good guy, he is a bizarre and obvious tool of Peter Thiel (which Fuentes notes, as well as connecting him to David Frum, and noting Thiel gave Vance a sinecure so Vance could promote his ‘Hillbilly’ book to give him his working class credibility!). Note also that Vance was supposed to take Trump’s position as a Thiel-owned President, but Trump upset the plan by winning the election (so they repurposed Vance and made a truce with Trump

Former US Senator Norm Coleman has raised eyebrows by declaring that “the masters of the universe are Jews” at a major Zionist lobby event in Jerusalem. In an address to a summit hosted by the Adelson-funded Jewish News Syndicate on April 27, Coleman pointed to various major technology firms founded by Jews, suggesting the shared religion of the companies’ creators should translate into a greater zeal for censoring criticism of Israel.

Enigmatic Alaskan Rendezvous https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/enigmatic-alaskan-rendeszvous

I have been focused upon the assumption that Trump and Putin will meet to negotiate a Ukrainian peace deal in Alaska, as has everybody else. All interested parties are applying pressure to influence this assumed agenda. That makes something-else easier to accomplish quickly. America making a “completely acceptable offer” looks different, when cast in that light. It may have been an offer about something else.
Russia has said all along that the fundamental issue of European security arrangements, which respect Russian security needs, also, must be addressed first. How might that begin? Would nuclear-missile agreements cool down that stressful situation as a beginning? Gilbert Doctorow believes that to be the key first step for a win-win-win situation.
The question of a trans-Bering-Strait-train-tunnel is a new one to me, but Abraham Lincoln favored such a rail connection after the US bought Alaska from Russia, and before he died. There does not appear to be organized resistance to such an endeavor right now. It could be a bold initiative.

Air security is an issue for the Russian head of state. Russian air defense missiles have something like a 400 km range.
The closest US airport to Russia (45 miles?) is Gambell Airport, created in WW-2 to fly supplies to the Russian Allies from St. Lawrence Island, Alaska.
On 27 February 1974, a Soviet Union An-24LR carrying a crew of three and ten scientists on an ice-reconnaissance mission landed at Gambell due to fuel exhaustion in bad weather, causing a minor Cold War incident. Villagers, mostly Yupik Native Americans, provided space heaters and food. A U.S. Air Force C-130 flew in a load of fuel bladders with JP-1 fuel from Anchorage to refuel the An-24, which departed at 7:30 pm. She dipped her wings in salute in a pass over the airfield, then returned to Soviet airspace. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambell_Airport

Gilbert Doctorow, Transcript of Diesen interview, 8 August
What is the big issue that would have persuaded Mr. Putin and his close advisors that they should meet with Trump now? What could Mr. Witkoff have brought with him? Well, I think he had to have addressed the core issues. What he could have done to make the whole thing palatable to all sides, meaning also the Ukrainians if they are strong-armed and the Europeans, is to speak about phasing in what is essentially the Russian solution and presenting it in such a way that it would not look like what it is, which is virtual surrender. Virtual surrender is not acceptable to NATO, is not acceptable to the United States.
​ Mr. Trump will be pilloried if he does nothing to sweeten the settlement and to make it seem as though he’s in control. All the news we see on every possible subject these weeks has one newsmaker, and his name is Donald Trump. It gives you the sense that he’s in control of things even if he absolutely is not. And he is certainly not in control of how this war will end.
​ But he has to have the appearance of that. And so he has decided that he should meet with Mr. Putin. And Mr. Putin has responded.
​ Although if you read yesterday’s and today’s “Financial Times”, oh, no, sorry, if you listened to the BBC this morning, you would understand that Putin was eagerly pursuing Trump for a meeting, because that will restore his prestige as an international player. That’s how they turn everything on its head.
​ Well, coming back to this answer to your question, I’ve been a bit long-winded, but the answer to your question: the Americans probably brought a phasing in, stage one, stage two, stage three, which makes it possible to sit and negotiate. The end result will be very much in accordance with the Russians’ demands, which are not maximalist. They haven’t changed one iota from where they were in June 2024, when Mr. Putin reiterated what he first said in February 2022, what Russia’s ambition is, although he put it more clearly and in easier-to- understand terms. But essentially it came to the same thing, what this denazification, well that’s regime change, the demilitarization, well the Ukrainian army goes, but mostly it’s evaporating in front of our eyes. So these things are being achieved and now they want to codify it, but they cannot do it in one session. That will be too awful for the West.
​ So I think the issue to discuss is how to phase this in, in a way that leaves Mr. Trump at least with an off-ramp that’s respectable and the Europeans can go to hell. They’ll have to accommodate to whatever the Americans and the Russians agree, because they will have no weapons to supply to the Ukraine and Ukraine will sink.​..
​..What exactly? The overall overarching concept could be “separate the Russians from the Chinese so we can proceed with taking on China”.
​ However, that falls flat. There is no way conceivable that Russia is going to betray China.​.. It is inconceivable that Mr. Putin will give free access to Russian rare-earth metals to spite China. That is off the table.
​ So what exactly Mr. Trump hopes to achieve considering that Russia and China are inseparable, I’m not quite sure. So we really have to look a little bit further. And I’m not sure that Mr. Trump is, his advisors are blind to that reality. I also have mentioned the timing coming back to why 10 days or what 50 days because September 3rd is inconvenient.
​ It’s too close to the convening of this end of the Pacific war for World War Two the 80th anniversary celebrations will be in Beijing, to which Mr. Trump presumably is desperate to be invited. That is possible. It suggests that the Yalta type meeting that we all thought might possibly happen, when Moscow celebrated the 80th anniversary of the end of the European war, and didn’t happen. Maybe would happen now in the Pacific, in Beijing.​..
..Can’t see a solution on the ceasefire without the Europeans being brought in. But obviously not at the first meeting, just as it’s senseless to have Zelensky there when the only thing that could have motivated the Russians to agree to a meeting has nothing to do directly with the Ukraine conflict. It has to do, as you said, with revising the security architecture of Europe, for which Mr. Zelensky has no place at the table.​..
​..What could they possibly have said to President Putin, what Witkoff could have brought with him, that would be considered constructive and could justify this meeting? And let’s take, put it in the historical context. What did the Americans and the Russians, who disliked one another, who didn’t necessarily respect one another, always put forward as the first topic for discussion? Arms control.
​ Arms control. That is the most value-neutral thing that they could discuss next week, which would set the tone for solving all the other issues, which would receive the undeserved acclaim in Europe and the United States. If they were to discuss restoring the intermediate and short-range missile agreement in a new form and preventing or removing the advance-positioned Russian missiles and the plans for stationing American missiles in Germany next year, that would be hailed by everybody. And from that good atmosphere, they could proceed to the really tough and miserable discussions about concluding the Ukraine war.​..
..If you take off this five-minute long delivery strike times of missiles within the European theatre, life gets a lot easier. You can breathe much easier, and the tension over European security would be toned down considerably. So that could be it, but it’s a guess, nothing more than a guess.​ https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/08/09/transcript-of-diesen-interview-8-august/

​ Gilbert Doctorow, Transcript of RT Interview, 8 August
​ What is decisive is how did this territory ​[Alaska] become American? I haven’t heard a word about that. By the way, it was bought. It was bought. It was sold by the Russian Tsar, and it was bought by the Americans.
​ And that’s what we’re going to see now in Ukraine. And nobody’s saying a word about it. But let’s use our minds. Let’s expand a little bit. Let’s be extravagant like Mr. Trump is. The Russians have $350 billion worth of assets that are now frozen in the West. Practically speaking, they have written that off. In their bookkeeping internally, they recouped most of that money by the extraordinary profitability of selling hydrocarbons in the first days of the war. So $350 billion, well, you can buy a lot in Ukraine with that, can’t you?
​ And the opinion of Mr. Zelensky about refusing or accepting the $350 billion in exchange for all of the territory of Ukraine that Russia wants, which is the whole Donbass, the four oblasts that were named. Well, that’s a deal. That is Mr. Trump’s great art of the deal.​..
..Joint projects, of course. Kirill Dmitriev, the head of the Direct Investment Fund, has been an integral part of all discussions. And everyone knows that he is a backer of the old idea of a tunnel bridge connecting Russia and the United States over the Bering Strait. So that, of course, is an element that cannot be excluded. At the same time, the real possibilities for further development of whatever is reached on the 15th of August are on a different level. They are at global security.​..
​..Mr. Trump has this problem of navigating Congress, and he is stuck with this Zionist presence in Congress. And he cannot, he doesn’t have much wiggle room in dealing with Israel for that reason. For this very reason, it is incumbent on Europe to do something and to take a lead and do something of importance on the world stage and not just kick the tires about Trump’s policies here and there. So, Europe has a great opportunity to lead peace in Palestine. I hope they take it.​ https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/08/10/transcript-of-rt-interview-8-august/

​Alex Krainer, The significance of Alaska
On Friday, 15 August Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin will meet in Alaska. The choice of that location sends a very hopeful message to the world.
​ Alaska is where the United States borders with Russia and where the two powers can and should connect. As Matthew Ehret summarized it superbly in his recent Substack article, the idea of physically connecting the US and Russia across the Bering Strait is an old idea because it’s a rather obvious one. It was first advanced already under President Abraham Lincoln in 1864, but sadly, it died with him. It was revived again in 1890 by William Gilpin, the former governor of Colorado, as his “Cosmopolitan Rail” vision, which included building a tunnel under the Bering Strait.
​ The importance of this project was not lost on the Russian government under Czar Nicholas II and his Finance Minister Sergei Witte who hired a number of American and French railway engineers in 1905 to carry out feasibility studies for the project. Unfortunately, the Czar was soon forced to abdicate, his Prime Minister was assassinated and the project never saw light of day.
​ It was revived once more under Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s administration and discussed in 1942 by his Vice President Henry Wallace and Stalin’s Foreign Minister Molotov…
​..However, Wallace would soon be sidelined and replaced with Harry Truman, the clueless tool of the British oligarchy. Once FDR was safely dead, the project was memory holed again: connecting the two superpowers, whether physically, politically, socially, culturally or commercially, fell into disfavor.
​ In his “Iron Curtain” speech in 1946, Winston Churchill declared the Soviet Union as the enemy of the West. He delivered that speech in front of Harry Truman.​ https://alexkrainer.substack.com/p/the-significance-of-alaska

​ The United States is now following the same path we have seen throughout history. In ancient Rome, once the Praetorian Guard was stationed in the city to guard the emperor, it became the power behind the throne. Their loyalty was to themselves and the politicians in control at the moment. The guard was not sent to protect the Republic, and certainly not the people. By the time Commodus was in power, the Guard was deciding who would rule, and the Senate’s role was ceremonial at best.
​ The same predicament happened in America’s short history. There was genuine fear in late 1860 and early 1861 that secessionist militias or Confederate sympathizers might attack Washington, capture federal buildings, or even seize Lincoln before his inauguration. At the start of 1861, Federal troops were quietly moved into the city.​..
..We have reached a point where neither side of the political aisle sees the other as a legitimate rival. They see their opponents as an existential threat. That goes beyond the politicians themselves and extends to their supporters…
​..Historically, militarizing a capital is interpreted by foreign capital as a sign of internal instability. The US government fears its citizens, and the leaders believe they need added layers of protection.​ https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/north_america/americas-current-economy/militarizing-the-capital/

​ Blaming Russia,​ not a download for Wikilieaks from murdered Seth Rich: Whistleblower Ties Clinton Campaign to Fake Russia Hack
​ After examining state-reported breaches of election networks, the whistleblower said, “It seemed only brief interaction was occurring – in some cases, no unauthorized access, or even attempted access, was detected on ‘victim’ systems.” Though the suspicious activity initially was attributed to Russian actors, further analysis raised doubts.
​ But when he brought his findings to his boss, ODNI’s national intelligence officer for cyber issues, he was ordered to stop investigating and not include his findings in the final ICA draft.
​ “After being directed to conduct analysis of Russian-attributed cyber activity for the ICA, I had been abruptly directed to abandon further investigation,” the whistleblower analyst said.
​ He added that his boss, whose name was blacked out in the whistleblower statement, “directed me to abandon analysis of these events, stating reports of Russia-attributed cyber activity were ‘something else.'”
​ While the names of the whistleblower and his boss are blacked out in the report, a RealClearInvestigations search of federal records shows Vinh Nguyen was the national intelligence officer for cyber issues at the time. The whistleblower would have been Nguyen’s deputy.​ https://realclearwire.com/articles/2025/08/08/whistleblower_ties_clinton_campaign_to_fake_russia_hack_1127658.html
