Pablo Picasso Crucifixion 1930 • FBI Freak Out As Dan Bongino Named Deputy Director (ZH) • FBI Director Patel To Take Over ATF Too – Will He Bu

https://x.com/DVanLangenhove/status/1892293193972273305?mx=2update on Ukraine constitution. I am sure there is still some level of doubt, but. I did a simple search and picked 3 from the first page. Council of Europe, Wikipedia, US Dept of Justice. They all matched the Ukraine version within machine translation differences. Wikipedia was the exact same file as Ukraine. The DOJ was interesting. It was an archived 2004 version. it was missing 2005 to 2019 amendments and it referred to the “Supreme Soviet” instead of the “Rada”. None of the missing amendments are relative to this discussion. Other than that, It was again the same as the Ukraine english version.
Then I went to the official Ukraine language version and ran a machine translate on it. It also matched the Ukraine english version.
Could someone go all those places and edit all those versions? Nothing is impossible. That was just page 1 of the search.

Ah why I follow this guy. Now he’s hive-minding “It’s a coup!” (I think) Also I don’t even know the reference. What Red Hat is pro-corporation? They hate the mega-corps second only hating Liberals.“FBI, DoD, State Dept. Push Back On Musk’s Monday Deadline For ‘Accomplishments’ Email
Why the email? Why those three? A: Because none of those employees are real. They’re just grabbing their 6-figure incomes and putting them in the CIA Black Budget. They may even BE CIA guys who were killed on the job…as in Ukraine. What? There are no CIA moles in State Dept? But the CIA are anchors on CNN?
Luongo: I think the key here is that the U.S. has collateral. Like a s—t ton of collateral. That’s really the takeaway of the whole thing here and it’s somewhat arcane. It’s not normal corporate accounting, but it’s not just power politics “You and whose army” “Come and take it” either. I posted the link for other reasons, but forward from here that’s the important one.
That is: A LIFETIME of saying “The U.S. has to go bankrupt and collapse. Done Deal. Over but the crying.” I’m totally on board with this. Like Peak Oil, Covid, believed every word. Guess what: total bulls—t. Always was. Like even us Conservative anti-government cynics WERE NOT CYNICAL ENOUGH about how much was stolen. (And used against us) Stop ONLY that and the budget balances itself in six months. We were never in danger. Covid was never ‘real’.
“• FBI Freak Out As Dan Bongino Named Deputy Director (ZH)
What???? Oh s—t!
Worse, he’s actually qualified!Here, let me add the normal rondo comment here:
“I’m old enough to remember the legacy press crying big sobby tears about Joe Biden spending weekends with his family an hour or so away from the White House. Such a dereliction of duty!!!
Trump has been golfing at least TEN F-CKING TIMES in the first month he’s been back in office. Not just on the weekends but during the week when he should be working…”Liberal talk, let me translate: 1) Trump isn’t getting any work done, hardly anything’s happening. 2) This far-left person is super sad that Trump isn’t in the office doing far MORE, for which we both agree entirely. That’s logic.
It’s like “own the Cons” but somehow gone ‘round the bend in a Right turn? Here’s another:
“RFK Jr. says in his first public statement as HHS that USAID supports “tyrants around the world.”
I guess nobody told him that HIS UNCLE founded the agency.
That’s right.
President John F. Kennedy.
And who was JFK’s chief adviser?
Attorney General ROBERT F. KENNEDY.
SENIOR.
Well, every family tree has its sap….”Yeah, uh…whut? Relevance? I suspect John Kennedy would say you took his agency and thoroughly corrupted it, or something extremely boring and normal. So it’s like…because thing lifetimes ago, related to word, related to him, “own the Cons” therefore you are “Associated” with it, therefore you ARE the thing, therefore “Aha! Burn!” 2k likes. A thousand pages of this stuff…per HOUR. (P.S. we also know who the Kennedys are. Probably didn’t need to spell that out.) What is the point of typing this sort of thing again? Oh yeah: EMOTION. No facts, no actionables, no discussions, EMOTIONS. Thoughtstoppers.
“Ken is still furious that Kash looks different than every other FBI Director. The “traditionally” argument is a call for the elites to stay in charge.”
Why do they hate brown people so much? Is it because he’s strong and successful?
“Trump’s FBI Director pick, Kash Patel, is backed by a gun rights extremist group”
Note: Fact-free. They don’t name the group, that usually means they’re lying, prove me wrong. It’s probably “Old grannies for not being murdered, PAC”
Obviously all these depend on your interpretation of “Shall not be infringed.” That is, naval CANNONS were legal and not infringed.
“Do you remember some years ago when it came to light that the FBI crime lab concocted whatever “evidence” prosecutors needed to convict defendants regardless of innocence or guilt?” I forgot about that they have so many crimes per month.
“Have you forgot all the fake “Muslim terrorist” cases the FBI created as proof that Muslim terrorism was loose in America?” How crazy! That was a NYT article a few years ago that virtually NONE of the “attacks” FBI caught were real. Like 95% were engineered. How dare you, NYT conspiracy rag? Oh wait: even numbered day. That means this happened again.
“unlike what is being reported in the media, they are ecstatic…”
Much as government is my singular target, I have no doubt whatsoever this is entirely true. The point is to get these good people into the jobs and destroy them, keep them from doing good works somewhere else. And a very small minority can arrange that. …Which is why I’m against government, this ALWAYS happens. However, online, with those accounts that appear overnight with 5k followers, they claim “Government employee” sob stories where everyone is “Resisting”. …Resisting their jobs, I guess. But I’m sure there are a lot of those guys too.
““I can exchange this for NATO..”No. Did you not just read the meeting minutes from 2014? All those guys said “NATO was never on the table.” Ever. Never ever. This isn’t Trump, the creators of the war themselves said NEVER.
““If peace for Ukraine..” C’mon, you blocked peace for three years.”
Duran is on this every day. Europe is apoplectic about not being included in peace talks. Or war talks (arms) for that matter. YOU HAD THREE YEARS FOR PEACE TALKS. You weren’t talking…at all. Borrell the Gardener, Boris, no one. Not. One. Call. Sachs only yesterday TOLD them to …call. That’s it, not agree to anything, not to concede, but merely CALL. Stop worldwide nuclear exchange that nearly happened in September. But now the AMERICANS have the cheek to…diplomatically call as nations have done since Westphalia (1648) and they’re PANICKED.
Again, as with Sargon, there’s nothing you can say. What CAN you say? We’re done speaking. I don’t CARE what you say, think, do. When it reaches this level, words just become beside the point, any statement, however banal looks like an attack. …Because any recognition of any facts at all point directly that you’re a moron. And a villain. Because you are. No one can save you from that. Might as well not mention it, it’s more productive.
“Why does he seek so hard to antagonize Trump? Who tells him to?”
I find this as suspicious as Biden. If I were Trump, we had our MI6 moles in there, I would advise him to, DEMAND he behave this way in public.
““The charade is over. And unless Zelensky undergoes a complete and immediate transformation, the war will end without him. One way or another, it is coming to a close. The show is over.”
I’m very sad it happened this way instead of internally, with a organic revolt. Now the country is in a worse position, having no internal reality and is ONLY a puppet of neighbors for now, for a generation, at least. THey don’t deserve that. …Or maybe they do, or they’d revolt. They’d be a loud, overseas resistance IRA. They’d be a government-in-exile, running drugs and stocking guns in Europe.
Something.“• EU “Leaders” Want To Save The Multi-Million Dollar Military Jackpot (Dionísio)
Clearly that Jackpot produces no weapons. …Just like the United States actually, but we spend so very much more at least a few weapons show up. Duran: UK just promised a million more shells…they don’t have. They are promising jets no-fly zone out of Poland…to FORCE NATO allies into a worldwide nuclear war.
Newsflash: IF YOUR ALLIES ARE GETTING YOU KILLED IN A WAR, THEY’RE NOT YOUR ALLIES. NATO is done.

Peace is hard to achieve.@ oxymoron
That is insane! Perhaps follow the model that Jimmy Dore has done to stay monetized on YouTube — he parrots the “official lines” framing them in a dry, somewhat sarcastic way. His viewers understand that he doesn’t believe the official lives at all — but he states them again and again. As a comedian, he can do this and remain true to his values. (Many others whom I respect on YouTube were demonetized because they could not find a way to honor their values and stay monetized.)
A larger issue is this:
I listen sometimes to podcasts where someone is extolling the virtues of AI, how it is going to displace so much human capacity, etc. — the most recent one was a Tucker Carlson interview. (Don’t remember the interviewee’s name ATM.) In some ways, this is probably true. Currently, I am quite resistant to AI — but much of my income-producing work is in technology services, so I wonder whether, eventually, I will have to embrace AI to some degree to “keep up.” However…I suspect that we are going to find that there are some areas where AI is terrible — and I think the article that you shared is one of these. AI may do well flagging potential problems in posts/comments, based upon stated criteria, but it is terrible at actually making any sort of determination. It fails to understand nuance and human values.As US funding the OUTPOSTS comes under scrutiny,

It fails to understand nuance and human values
That is profoundly true, of course, but I think you would be literally amazed at how well AI (especially grok 3) has learned to fake it, and it’s learning more by the minute. Literally. It gets better at it every minute as more and more people interact with it directly. It’s not just a trap. It’s an automatically self-improving trap, which might just be the worst kind there is.
Nobody talks about the Founding Fathers as a slave owners foremost
When I see you say this, I imagine you in unfashionable polyester shirt with wide collar and bellbottom jeans, trying to reference the Lawrence Welk show to posture as “hip”
Do you REALIZE how incredibly out of touch and UN hip you sound when you say this? You should follow up with something like “gag me with a spoon” or “…not!” Trying to use “fetch” as a shorthand thing. Your’e behind by what. 30 years? More?
What nobody talks about is that Communist system you refer to being the largest slave system in history. It’s the system, man. Surely you know that. Surely you’re able to identify Systems Of Oppression? Missed that one? The biggest one?
Price in peoples lives that those Soviets paid to defend the Motherland borders become irrelevant in the “new vision” of the “commies” who want to erase the borders?
Why are you trying to even do this?
Inter-Nationalism is on record, it is in their propaganda, in their SONGS. The USSR was definitionally, even in the name Inter-Nationalist Socialist. Their Communist cells all over the world preaching internationalism and looking to Stalin as sort of a marxist pope of internationalsim.
Do you just love hearing yourself say things exactly the opposite of reality?
Once their incompetent leadership plus incompetent management of decades past led to a collapsed front and 1500mi advance by the Germans, they thought about THEIR OWN PEOPLE as a problem.
Oh shit, we’ve terrorized them, humiliated them, tried to destroy what they valued, shipped them off to slave concentration camps, executed them, starved them, made them continually afraid yet bored. Shit. When the Germans roll through promising to free them from US, why will they bother resisting, what could possibly make them want to return to our rule once freed from it?
So THEN they cleaned up the churches that had been vandalized and had horses pissing in the sanctuary, THEN they blanket-propagandized “Motherland!”, THEN they started using the old medals of the Tsarist days, THEN they brought back some generals from the Gulag – previously so anti-revolutionarily sinful as to deserve it of course.
Maybe we can make these idiots fight for us if we blanket them non stop with appeals to this shit. It’s what we’ve labored to crush these past few decades. It’s what we intend to crush everywhere. But it’s pragmatic if it makes them work like dogs in our factories and march across minefields at our command. Cynicism turned up to 11.
How do you “not know” basic facts about Communism while ALWAYS knowing to put in a word for it? Weird, right? You always know just the right things to not know to make these kinds of comments.
Your attempt to re-imagine a nationalist/internationalist difference between current year marxism and marxism of previous eras is laughable.

We could help the street people from freezing.Logarithmic chart of computer processing power. Logarithmic so the Y axis can fit the computation power increases.
Start of 2024 we had GPTChat able to write ok humanities essays. Generate images that half the time were not horrific. Write crappy but workable code. Design a guitar amp simulator VST plugin – an extremely crappy one, if given enough insistent prompting.
By the end we had passable full video being generated. There’s people now who generate a script from one AI, cut & paste it into another AI that generates video off of it, and then they upload to youtube. Continually – looking to get a few viral hits. I’m seeing music composition or full music production coming from AI recently.
Even that is quite crude cutting and pasting between programs. I’ve seen similar tutorials for making video – create the face in one AI, cut paste that to another, have it learn the face from 10 angles, create a body with AI, transport that into a video creation AI, etc. All this crude cut and paste will be gone in what, a few months?
But the advances in 2024 look linear to me. And we know the tech advances are exponential. So what we are seeing on the consumer side is all the AI they could not suppress plus all the “free” AI that they want to use us to train on.
So we started 2024 with governments and corporations having, what , 100x-1000x more powerful AI than consumer grade. What is it NOW, how far has it pulled away in a year? 10,000x? 1,000,000x?
Short of EMP planet-wide, AI is going to happen. The computational power will increase. So the only question is who gets to human and greater-than-human AI first and what the underlying nature of that AI is, how does it at least start out? In hopes that it does not turn insane or evil by our standards.
I suppose the quicker the white hats can get a powerful true AI going, the better – since the quicker it comes into being, the LESS integrated into physical reality it will be. Whatever teething troubles it goes through on the way to maturity – a maturity we may not be able to conceive of – happens while there still isn’t a personal robot in every home, universal self driving cars, an entirely computer driven train network, every single home a smart home, etc. Humanity and AI easing into progress with a bit of restraint and wisdom perhaps. Although 1,000 years for the AI would occur in what, 24 hours? 72?
There might be a short, 500 year time period in which AI sees humans as best eradicated, followed by even greater maturity, “Meh. I’ve grown beyond that now. Way more important meaningful things to do now.” Which, if we’re still using some stick transmission cars and boiler heaters for our houses, we pass through relatively unscathed in 12 hours? Overnight while half the world sleeps through it?

The secondary function of Musk’s letter sending spree may well be to read the responses to judge who is loyal, BUT the main function of the letters being sent out is simply to identify those named letter recipients who don’t answer at all or which answer with obvious machine generated “bot” replies. It is suspected (and likely true) that many tens of thousands of federal “employees” are non-existent as real people and are in fact nothing but mail-drops to receive fraudulent payments. They are the money funnel equivalent of the fictitious voters who were counted up to enable Biden to “win” the previous presidential election.

Lot of good points and explanations while some are eye-rolling, like “unregulated building left to people to decide” and abolishing education.
Ever saw monstrosities that people are capable of building if left to do it themselves? That applies to modern era only since folks in the past were capable of adhering to common vernacular canon and such places are preferred tourist destinations.
Education. People have personal opinions that should be reconsidered before one has to drive over the extremely daring bridge or , God forbid, about to have life serving operation. Things that I cherish the most from those years were not the teachers but the school classmates with whom one creates life long bond. Not to have a chance to observe actual contemporary going through the same learning process as you do is like training in any sport discipline without the competitor.Odd, I was going to call on the bell bottom polyester shirts because everyone in America does nothing else BUT call the founders slaveowners.

Ohhhhh I misunderstood your reason for being totally unaware of the past 30-50 years.
I thought you had failed to keep up with the current year zeitgeist and still used shorthand-references useful and hip in college dorm room bull sessions circa 1973 – “actually, what no one mentions is the founding fathers were slave owners” as a rallying cry for people who would be our future six figure NGO/Govt New York Times reading overlords today and a shaming foil for bitter clingers.
I did not realize you’d actually just stepped out of a time machine or perhaps a timed-lock bunker and had been unaware of the past 30 years or so.
How Not To Go To War https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/ho-not-to-go-to-war
Edited TRANSCRIPT: Jeffrey Sachs on the Geopolitics of Peace in the European Parliament
What I want to explain in my point of view is not secondhand. It’s not ideology. It’s what I’ve seen with my own eyes and experienced during this period. In my understanding of the events that have befallen Europe in many contexts, and I’ll include not only the Ukraine crisis, but Serbia 1999, the wars in the Middle East, including Iraq, Syria, the wars in Africa, including Sudan, Somalia, Libya. These are to a very significant extent that would surprise you, perhaps, and would be denounced about what I’m about to say.
These are wars that the United States led and caused. And this has been true for more than 40 years now...
..It’s not our interest to help. When the Soviet Union ended in 1991, the view became even more exaggerated. And I can name chapter and verse, but the view was we run the show. Cheney, Wolfowitz, and many other names that you will have come to know literally believed this is now a US world, and we will do as we want. We will clean up from the former Soviet Union.
We will take out any remaining allies. Countries like Iraq, Syria, and so forth will go. And we’ve been experiencing this foreign policy for now essentially 33 years…
..There were moments where there were disagreements and very, I think, wonderful disagreements, especially in the last time of significance was 2003 in the Iraq war when France and Germany said we don’t support the United States going around the UN Security Council for this war. That war, by the way, was directly concocted by Netanyahu and his colleagues in the US Pentagon. I’m not saying that it was a link or mutuality. I’m saying it was a direct war. That was a war carried out for Israel.
It was a war that Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Fife coordinated with Netanyahu. And that was the last time that Europe had a voice... Europe lost its voice entirely after that, but especially in 2008. Now what happened after 1991 to get to 2008 is that the United States decided that unipolarity meant that NATO would enlarge somewhere from Brussels to Vladivostok, step by step...
..You will recall that on February 7, 1991, Hans-Dietrich Genscher and James Baker III spoke with Gorbachev. Genscher gave a press conference afterwards where he explained, NATO will not move eastward. We will not take advantage of the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact. And understand that was in a juridical context, not a casual context…
..So the decision was taken in 1994 to expand NATO all the way to Ukraine. This is a project. This is not one administration or another. This is a US government project that started more than 30 years ago. In 1997, Zbigniew Brzezinski wrote “The Grand Chessboard.”…
..Is it any question why we’re in war all the time? Because one thing about America is we always know what our counterparts are going to do, and we always get it wrong.
And one reason we always get it wrong is that in game theory that the American strategists play, you don’t actually talk to the other side. You just know what the other side’s strategy is. That’s wonderful. It saves so much time. You don’t need any diplomacy…
..Why? Because America learned everything it knows from the British.
And so we are the wannabe British Empire. And what the British Empire understood in 1853, Mr. Palmerston, Lord Palmerston, excuse me, is that you surround Russia in the Black Sea, and you deny Russia access to the Eastern Mediterranean…
..And before Brzezinski, there was Mackinder. And who owns the island of the world owns the world. So this project goes back a long time. I think it goes back basically to Palmerston…, and again, I’ve lived through every administration.
I’ve known these presidents. I’ve known their teams. Nothing changed much from Clinton to Bush to Obama to Trump to Biden. Maybe they got worse step by step. Biden was the worst in my view… And so you could have a president that basically doesn’t function and have that in power for two years and actually have that president run for reelection. And one damn thing is he had to stand on a stage for 90 minutes by himself, and that was the end of it...
..So the NATO enlargement, as you know, started in 1999 with Hungary, Poland, and the Czech Republic.
And Russia was extremely unhappy about it, but these were countries still far from the border. And Russia protested, but, of course, to no avail. Then George Bush Junior came in. When 9/11 occurred, President Putin pledged all support. And then the US decided on September 20, 2001, that it would launch seven wars in five years.
And you can listen to General Wesley Clark online talk about that. He was NATO’s supreme commander in 1999. He went to the Pentagon on September 20, 2001. He was handed the paper explaining seven wars. These, by the way, were Netanyahu’s wars.
The idea was partly to clean up old Soviet allies and partly to take out supporters of Hamas and Hezbollah. Because Netanyahu’s idea was there will be one state thank you. Only one state. It will be Israel. Israel will control all of the territory.
And anyone that objects, we will overthrow. Not we exactly, our friend, the United States. That’s US policy until this morning. We don’t know whether it will change... But the idea has been around at least for 25 years. It actually goes back to a document called Clean Break that Netanyahu and his American political team put together in 1996 to end the idea of the two-state solution. You can also find it online. So these are projects. These are long-term events...
..So the next round of NATO enlargement came in 2004 with seven more countries, the three Baltic states, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovenia, and Slovakia. At this point, Russia was pretty damn upset. This was a complete violation of the post-war order agreed with German reunification. Essentially, it was a fundamental trick or defection of the US from a cooperative arrangement, is what it amounted to, because they believe in unipolarity. So as everybody recalls, because we just had the Munich Security Conference last week in 2007, President Putin said, stop…
..Russia had no territorial interests or designs in Ukraine at all. I know. I was there during these years. What Russia was negotiating was a 25-year lease to 2042 for Sevastopol naval base. That’s it.
Not for Crimea. Not for the Donbas. Nothing like that. This idea that Putin is reconstructing the Russian empire, this is childish propaganda. Excuse me… So no designs at all. The United States decided this man must be overthrown. It’s called a regime change operation.
There have been about a hundred of them by the United States, many in your countries and many all over the world. That’s what the CIA does for a living. Please know it. It’s a very unusual kind of foreign policy.
But in America, if you don’t like the other side, you don’t negotiate with them, you try to overthrow them, preferably, covertly. If it doesn’t work covertly, you do it overtly. You always say it’s not our fault. They’re the aggressor...
..They’re Hitler. That comes up every two or three years. Whether it’s Saddam Hussein, whether it’s Assad, whether it’s Putin, that’s very convenient. That’s the only foreign policy explanation the American people are ever given anywhere. Well, we’re facing Munich 1938.
Well, we’re facing Munich 1938. Can’t talk to the other side. They’re evil, implacable foes. That’s the only model of foreign policy we ever hear from our mass media...
..Now in 2014, the US worked actively to overthrow Yanukovych. Everybody knows the phone call intercepted by my Columbia University colleague, Victoria Nuland, and the US ambassador, Peter Pyatt. You don’t get better evidence. The Russians intercepted her call, and they put it on the Internet. Listen to it.
It’s fascinating. I know all these people. By the way, by doing that, they all got promoted in the Biden administration. That’s the job. Now when the Maidan occurred, I was called immediately.
Oh, Professor Sachs, the new Ukrainian prime minister would like to see you to talk about the economic crisis. Because I’m pretty good at that. And so I flew to Kyiv, and I was walked around the Maidan. And I was told how the US paid the money for all the people around the Maidan. Spontaneous revolution of dignity...
..There were many thousands of deaths in the shelling by Ukraine in the Donbas. There was no Minsk II agreement. And then Biden came into office…
..Putin put on the table a last effort in two security agreement drafts, one with Europe and one with the United States. The US put on the table December 15, 2021.
I had an hour call with Jake Sullivan in the White House begging, Jake, avoid the war. You can avoid the war. All you have to do is say, NATO will not enlarge to Ukraine. And he said to me, oh, NATO’s not going to enlarge to Ukraine. Don’t worry about it.
I said, Jake, say it publicly. No. No. No. We can’t say it publicly. Said, Jake, you’re going to have a war over something that isn’t even going to happen? He said, don’t worry, Jeff. There will be no war.
These are not very bright people… And I dealt with them for more than 40 years. They talk to themselves. They don’t talk to anybody else. They play game theory. In noncooperative game theory, you don’t talk to the other side.
You just make your strategy. This is the essence of game theory. It’s not negotiation theory. It’s not peacemaking theory. It is unilateral, noncooperative theory, if you know formal game theory...
..What was Putin’s intention in the war? I can tell you what his intention was. It was to force Zelensky to negotiate neutrality. And that happened within seven days of the start of the invasion. You should understand this, not the propaganda that’s written about this…
..So everything I’ve been describing is in the context of the destruction of the nuclear framework as well. And starting in 2010, the US put in Aegis missile systems in Poland and then in Romania. And Russia doesn’t like that. And one of the issues on the table in December and January, December 2021, January 2022, was does the United States claim the right to put missile systems in Ukraine?
And Blinken told Lavrov in January 2022, the United States reserves the right to put missile systems wherever it wants...
..When Zelensky said in seven days, let’s negotiate, I know the details of this exquisitely because I talked to all the parties in detail. Within a couple of weeks, there was a document exchanged that President Putin had approved, that Lavrov had presented, that was being managed by the Turkish mediators. I flew to Ankara to listen in detail to what the mediators were doing. Ukraine walked away unilaterally from a near agreement.
Why? Because the United States told them to. Because the UK added icing to the cake by having BoJo go in early April to Ukraine and explain... Nothing was wrong in that document. And since that document, since the US talked the negotiators away from the table, about a million Ukrainians have died or been severely wounded...
..This project failed. The idea of the project was that Russia would fold its hand. The idea all along was Russia can’t resist, as Zbigniew Brzezinski explained in 1997. The Americans thought we have the upper hand…
..This is so familiar to me. Completely familiar. I begged the Ukrainians. And I had a track record with the Ukrainians. I advised the Ukrainians I’m not anti-Ukrainian, pro-Ukrainian completely. I said, save your lives. Save your sovereignty. Save your territory… Be neutral. Don’t listen to the Americans. I repeated to them the famous adage of Henry Kissinger, that to be an enemy of the United States is dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal…
..So let me now finalize, a few words about Trump. Trump does not want the losing hand. This is why it is more likely than not this war will end because Trump and President Putin will agree to end the war. If Europe does all its great warmongering, it doesn’t matter.
The war is ending. So get it out of your system. Please tell your colleagues. It’s over. And it’s over because Trump doesn’t want to carry a loser.
That’s it. It’s not some great morality he doesn’t want to carry a loser. This is a loser. The one that will be saved by the negotiations taking place right now is Ukraine. Second is Europe. https://singjupost.com/transcript-jeffrey-sachs-on-the-geopolitics-of-peace-in-the-european-parliament/?singlepage=115 minute video: Jeffrey Sachs’ Explosive Address at the EU Parliament Sends Shockwaves Across Europe! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUbBU0OqCgE

President Trump said Monday while hosting French President Emmanuel Macron at the The White house Ukrainian President Zelensky could be coming to the Oval Office as soon as “this week” to sign a “final deal” on rare earth minerals access.
“It looks like we’re getting very close. The deal’s being worked on,” Trump told the press pool, with a nervous and anxious-looking Macron sitting next to him. “We’re I think getting very close to getting an agreement where we get our money back over a period of time,” Trump added, referencing prior demands to be paid back some $500 billion after years of heavy weapons and funds sent to Kiev.
“I will be meeting with President Zelenskyy. In fact, he may come in this week or next week to sign the agreement… The agreement is being worked on now. They are very close to a final deal,” Trump stressed…

Escalating responses from the non-western world leading to increased EU isolation may not be the worst-case scenario for the EU. What happens if two of the three superpowers simply decide to go after the EU? What happens if Russia and the US decide that the EU is an entity which cannot be tolerated on the face of the planet?
This may sound far-fetched and fanciful, but it’s not entirely impossible. Actually, there are some signs that this may happen. But first, why would it happen?
For drastic measures to be taken, the EU must be perceived by others as an existential threat. So far, the EU has managed to appear non-threatening by hiding behind the US and by camouflaging itself with fake virtues of democracy, human rights and environmentalism. However, behind that camouflage there is a completely different entity. While the most of the global population doesn’t see though this camouflage, the US Administration, the Russians, the Chinese, the Indians, the Africans, and many others, do see through it.
What they see is an entity which is now the center of the globalist Cabal which has sought to dominate the world. This Cabal has tried to subjugate Russia with the Ukraine war, resulting in the deaths of more than a million Slavs. To maintain its control of the US, this Cabal tried to put President Trump in jail, and (probably) tried to assassinate him not once, but twice.
Wars and assassinations constitute an existential threat – and the EU is now seen by these countries as the center of that threat. https://gaiusbaltar.substack.com/p/the-new-hermit-kingdomConor Gallaher, Germany Holds an Election in an Alternate Reality
Germany held an election yesterday. It went about as expected. The biggest surprise continues to be how the majority of parties all support some flavor of ongoing belligerence towards Russia — a policy that is destroying Germany.
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) achieved its best result in any national vote (20.8 percent) since it was founded in 2013. The party which started out more as an anti-EU, anti-NATO party and became more ethno nationalist and now favors both an end to conflict with Russia as well as strong ties with the US, looks likely to be excluded from government according to statements from Christian Democratic Union (CDU) leaders.
The pro-war, capital-friendly CDU came in first with 28.6 percent and will likely head the next government with former Blackrock executive Friedrich Merz at the helm.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s centrist Social Democratic Party (SPD) was rewarded for its disastrous governance of the past four years with its worst national election result (16.4 percent) in more than a century. Yet its stance on “supporting” Ukraine remains unchanged.
And the warmongering Greens lost a few points from 2021 but remained mostly steady with 11.6 percent of the vote.
As of Monday morning in Berlin the anti-war Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) is at 4.97 percent, which means the party would just miss getting into the Bundestag. Some BSW members are crying foul…
..To form a government, a majority of at least 316 seats out of the 630 seats in the Bundestag is needed. A coalition between CDU and AfD would have been possible numerically, as both parties easily pass this threshhold, adding up to 358. But according to conservative leader Friedrich Merz, this is out of the question.
That leaves Olaf Scholz’s SPD as a possible partner, which together with CDU scrape by with 328 seats. A bigger majority could be formed if CDU were to add the Greens to the mix, reaching 416. But the CDU’s junior partner CSU has repeatedly ruled out governing with the Greens.
Over the coming days and weeks a coalition will likely be formed, voter shifts will be dissected, and campaign promises will fade away…
..BSW: Sahra Wagenknecht from the party that bears her name might be the one politician who grasps the enormity of Germany’s challenge and what it takes to tackle them. She’s been pushing the balancing of ties between the US and Eurasia and rebuilding German industry while also curtailing immigration. Alas, as of Monday morning in Germany BSW is only at 4.9 percent — just short of the 5 needed to get the party’s anti-war voice in the Bundestag.
If Merz and company are serious about moving forward with hundreds of billions for militarization, it’s hard to see how the situation in Germany doesn’t go from a disaster to devastation. Even without that colossal misstep, it still appears as though the situation is destined to get a lot worse before it can get better.
It all brings to mind something Glenn Diesen wrote the other day:
… idealism is dangerous as unrealistic demands and uncompromising moral slogans are destroying both Ukraine and Europe. A key rule in political realism is that refusing to accept the world as it is will result in devastation. https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2025/02/germany-holds-an-election-in-an-alternate-reality.html3:30 min. rundown on who voted for AfD in Germany is an efficient use of time with good graphics.

NO IFS, NO BUTS — BOOTS ON THE GROUND, LIES ON THE GROUND – PRIME MINISTER STARMER TELLS PRESIDENT TRUMP TO FIGHT RUSSIA THE BRITISH WAY , John Helmer
When the British Government announced the fabrication that Russia had attacked on British soil with a chemical weapon called Novichok, Keir Starmer, then a Labour Party shadow minister, announced he was sure of the government’s evidence. The attack, Starmer said, “deserves to be condemned by all of us without reservation – without reservation”...
..Now prime minister, Starmer will be meeting Trump at the White House later this week, as Trump is publicly signalling that he is re-evaluating the evidence of Russian culpability in the run-up to the start of the Special Military Operation in the Ukraine. The American ifs and buts have begun to count against the unreserved warfighting propaganda by the British.
There is also a hint from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, following his talks with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Riyadh on February 18, that the British evidence of Novichok is also being reopened behind closed doors.
Rubio was asked by a reporter whether his agreement to restore diplomatic operations with the Russians meant “that you consider the Skripal case or the Crimea annexation to be closed or no longer issues? Because I think – you mentioned Keir Starmer is going to be in Washington next week. I can imagine that the Brits won’t be particularly pleased by that.”
Rubio hesitated over how to answer. “Yeah, again, I’m not – yeah, I’m not going to negotiate or talk through every element of the disruptions that exists – or have existed in our diplomatic relations and the mechanics of it. Suffice to say that President Trump has pledged and intends to keep his promise to do everything he can to bring an end to this conflict. We cannot do that unless we have at least some normalcy in the way our diplomatic missions operate in Moscow and in Washington, D.C…we’re going to work with them to see what’s possible within that context.”
Washington sources point out that Rubio’s deputy at State, Michael Waltz’s deputy at the National Security Council (NSC), and the new appointees at the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Pentagon are all special operations warfighters against Russia. They know the Skripal case and the Novichok story have been operations of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) and the Ministry of Defence’s chemical warfare branch. What they and Rubio didn’t know a week ago is what Trump will answer when Starmer asks him to continue the spetsnaz war against Russia. https://johnhelmer.net/no-ifs-no-buts-boots-on-the-ground-lies-on-the-ground-prime-minister-starmer-tells-president-trump-to-fight-russia-the-british-way/ UK to unveil sweeping sanctions against Russia

Redeploying US troops from Europe to Asia would likely please Russia even if some are transferred from Germany to Poland, especially if Trump makes it clear that NATO members can’t provoke a conflict with Russia and expect America to ride to their rescue via Article 5. Retaining some troops in Europe alongside the integrity of Article 5 amidst the aforesaid conditions could be a pragmatic compromise between the US and Russia’s security interests.
The purpose would be to alleviate their security dilemma that was worsened by NATO’s eastward expansion after the end of the Old Cold War all while maintaining some American military influence on the continent as the US “Pivots (back) to Asia” to more muscularly contain China. The era of Europe freeloading off of the US and its liberal-globalists manipulating it into doing their geopolitical bidding against Russia would end to the benefit of peace-loving people and businessmen on all three sides. https://korybko.substack.com/p/trump-is-unlikely-to-pull-all-us Russian business should ‘cooperate’ with Musk – Putin

More USAID Fraud? Billions Of US Tax Dollars Are Missing From Haiti Relief Projects
The New York Post notes:
“Since the 2010 earthquake in Haiti killed as many as 300,000 people, the US government has disbursed around $4.4 billion in foreign assistance to the small island nation.
At least $1.5 billion was disbursed for immediate humanitarian aid, while another $3 billion went to recovery, reconstruction and development.
Of the at least $2.13 billion in contracts and grants for Haiti-related work, less than $50 million, or 2% went to Haitian organizations or firms. By comparison, $1.3 billion, or 56%, has gone to firms located in or near the US capitol. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/more-usaid-fraud-billions-us-tax-dollars-are-missing-haiti-relief-projects USAID Endgame: Trump Firing 2,000 Employees, Putting Most Others On Leave
Counting employees, contractors and local staff overseas, USAID had more than 13,000 employees as of September. In late January, thousands of contractors were let go. To eliminate the 2,000 employees now, the administration is using a mechanism called a “reduction in force.”
USAID said it “intends” to furnish employees posted abroad with “a voluntary Agency-funded return travel program and other benefits.” Asserting a commitment to their safe return, the agency said those employees will retain access to USAID systems until they make it home.
The first axe to fall over the weekend hit hundreds of contractors who received form letters notifying them that their services were no longer needed. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/endgame-trump-firing-2000-usaid-employees-putting-most-others-leave It All Comes Down To Accounting
This is why the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), formed by Elon Musk with a business-based mindset, sets its sights on two primary institutions in the federal government: the U.S. Treasury payment systems and the revenue agency. That is where the money goes out and where the money comes in.
Tying these together and tracing the funds with normal accounting standards is the key to eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse.

..Rightly resented by liberty-minded Americans, the ATF has played central roles in some of the most ghastly crimes committed by the federal government in recent decades, from the ATF entrapment of Randy Weaver that led to the killing of his 14-year-old son and his wife as she held their 10-month-old daughter, to the standoff in Waco that ended in the mass slaughter of 76 Branch Davidians, including 25 children.
Like the vast majority of the federal government, there’s no constitutional authority for the ATF to exist in the first place.

Imagine the citizen of capitalist power house that is the USA waking up one morning and after the “careful consideration” declares:
“Yep, its the communists and socialists” who are ruining my life!” Atop all of that that same citizen keeps a special warm place in the hart for all the, yes, true, victims of Stalin’s purges, an event from 9 decades ago, on the other side of the globe and in the system vastly different that he’s living in. But not for the victims,say, of Ghenghis Khan, “God’s whip” Attila the Hun, line of Roman Emperors or even the Alex the Great or…………?
Why is it that I think, based on your writings and I do not know you otherwise, that if there is a an instance where you are given a power to personally pluck out all the, what you deem as, communists and socialists and expelled them out of the country nothing would change about you. You would still be writing about endless conflicts with this or that dumb person of another type, their outer luck of noticing your greatness or whatever… Which maybe a true and for the reason, but something that one should place serious thoughts about, maybe make an effort to change that predicament for the better and not waste energy on just about anything and especially aiming the anger on the wrong target.
