Waltz UN Ambassador, Secretary of State Rubio takes over National Security Advisor as well. Not perfect, but doable.
Oh jesus….except Little Marco Rubio wasn’t exercising the role of Secretary of State at all especially with ÜberBusinessMan How-Ee Lutnik running Trump Show Internationalə for Los Estados United.
Zelensky nominally Jewish is selling off the natural resources of The Christian country ((Orthodox Christian, well, at least the few still alive and that remain)) having been “transitioned” from Plucky Ally to Beleaguered Outcast in less than 100 days.
Nice!
Try that in Israel with a Zionist Christian president/prime minister and an 85%? Jewish population.
Get Pepe Escobar to act as color commentator. Miker would watch and share vids. Jesus!Pepe doesnt know anything he-she but the writing is meant to persuade some of us what and how to think about it. Pepe sure gives the impression he knows, you know, been there doing that kinda thingy. Unshaven, unshowered, unkempt, low on Grecian formula, bedraggled, olive-drab t-shirt still impresses, right?? Oops, that was G.Lira and is ScottR. Still the affectation impresses the Masses no doubt.
No matter how many jobs n titles Trump puts on Little Marco, gravitas with capital G wont be bestowed until Little Marco buys some lifts for his shoes. I bet Howie Lutnick can sell him some.
Marco Rubio
1. Senator
2. SoS
3. NSA
4. Multi-tasker
5. ?????Not much left to say on Ukraine. Watching the map updates at military summary channel, patterns have changed. The Russians have started running out in front of their own defensive cover. In both strips and patches. Up to now, not running out has been crucial to minimize casualties and minimize the wests narrative Russia must be contained. Done with that. Could be that their defensive cover has improved. More likely that Ukraines offensive coverage is developing holes. No longer a threat. Squirrel.

“All radioactive materials and nuclear reactions emit neutrinos. Beamformable arrays of neutrino detectors, while useful for astronomy and physics research also can be used to locate nuclear submarines and their warheads. Enough big arrays in the right places and one can locate them fairly accurately. All the major powers and some of the secondary ones have these capabilities to a greater or lessor extent.
Beamformable neutrino emitters have some interesting properties. Send a sufficiently strong/large beam of neutrinos into a nuclear reactor and the reaction stops. One can also disable nuclear warheads with beams of neutrinos. Again, ALL the major powers and probably some of the secondary ones are aware of this.”TESLA OPTIMUS EYED FOR $5 TRILLION ROBOT TAKEOVER

All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving GraceI like to think (and
the sooner the better!)
of a cybernetic meadow
where mammals and computers
live together in mutually
programming harmony
like pure water
touching clear sky.I like to think
(right now, please!)
of a cybernetic forest
filled with pines and electronics
where deer stroll peacefully
past computers
as if they were flowers
with spinning blossoms.I like to think
(it has to be!)
of a cybernetic ecology
where we are free of our labors
and joined back to nature,
returned to our mammal
brothers and sisters,
and all watched over
by machines of loving grace.Richard Brautigan 1967

The US supplies all of the funding tor Ukraine to exist. The US has a budget deficit for the operation of the US Federal Government. The US will sell weapons on a promissory note to Ukrainse pending accepting a supply of minerals mined in Ukraine. The balance of the minerals are in regions of Ukraine that are now part of The Russion Federation. There is no established mining due to Ukraine national policies that control minerals. There is no direct shipping supply chain.
and
per Armstrong:
The United States now has preferential rights to extract minerals from Ukraine. This will provide the US with rare earth elements that are essential for technology and defense at a time when China is withholding sales.so a bird that is neither in hand nor in the bush is worth $50 million while the US increases it deficit spending by $50 million and uses the promissory note and preferential rights to replace an existing supply of minerals derailed by tariffs while making a transfer of payment to the MIC

Another NeoCon (Lite) bites the dust. They’re saying that for Kellogg, he’s a traitor, misleading, all that, but really we need him talking to Europe and Ukr to repeat and translate their point of view. Can’t send Vance. He’s doing what he does, and if he believes it, so much the better for the job. The POINT is, who is ultimately picked? Like who would I send as envoy to Thailand? Maybe somebody who empathizes with Thailand? Yet who do I pick at home, when we cut deals? Whatever best serves the American People, not Thailand.

But the vote was in a very specific way, so they are not clear majority. However, also have the sense Carney isn’t long, he may need to suspend Parliament and call elections again. Sooo, Canadians, what is the country in general, if the Parliament is just missing for years at a time? A) is that a Democracy? 2) I guess no one really needed the Federal government? …Especially considering your system has near-dictatorial powers as PM? These weren’t used, and great for you, but IF someone should try to push the outer edges, it can clearly go quite bad.
Added: Many sets with Carney show that he is signaled as entirely controlled. Why, don’t know. How, don’t know. He clearly appears to be the British Empire and WEF, yet at the same time has these weird photo ops that show he’s a nobody, an actor, doing what he’s told of the White Hats? Well, their purposes are enough that just the uncertainty works for it, but does it matter? Just flow of the story.

Answer: With MAGIC!
First 100 days:
While more witnesses die in strange circumstances.
“Waltz UN Ambassador, Secretary of State Rubio takes over National Security Advisor as well. Not perfect, but doable.

“US President Donald Trump’s misplaced tariff policies are hurting America’s allies but will fail to tank the Chinese economy,”
His DonaldTelepathy. Was it MEANT to tank the Chinese Economy? That’s not even what Trump said. He said he wanted ZERO tariffs and legal trade with property rights. That he wants more jobs and manufacturing here, IDGAF what China does: sell to Mars as if I care.
Believe him or not, if it will work or not, but This is so universal I feel like I’m in a loony bin. HE. JUST. TOLD. YOU. You don’t have to make stuff up. It’s okay not to lie for one minute, you’ll be fine, I promise.
“• US Ready To Spend Another 100 Days On Russia-Ukraine Peace – Vance (RT)
We have the mineral deal (barely, and most not admitted) so we can sell that to Russia for peace. But appears will be more complicated and hidden at that.
“• US Rejected Ukraine’s Security Guarantee Demands – NYT (RT)
In that sense, we won, they lost. They were trying to lock us into nuclear war with Russia and we kept ourselves free of that. What’s happening with UK? Anybody’s guess.
“• Kremlin On Minerals Deal: ‘Trump Has Broken The Zelensky Regime’ (ZH)
They agree this works, but why? No details.
“Three Republicans joined Democrats in rejecting the tariffs”,
..and Trump still wins. Forget beating him in the Senate.”There be Kayfabe in these parts. All these votes have someone pivotal, signal. Then the next vote that’s closer, they don’t signal. Let’s not play: did it pass or didn’t it? This is all a Yes/No, no horseshoes. To me it makes them all look dumb, but I follow this and Americans don’t. They’ll cave whenever I want or I’ll throw Epstein folder and the Ukraine banking records at them.
“the only strategy that the Democratic Party can come up with. And that is to attack Donald Trump..”
See this with whole sites of pundits. Not Cenk, but you know the type. 99 of 100 articles have Headline “Donald Trump!!!”. Ate Bacon!!! Soooo, he’s running things, isn’t he? You on the Left only look to him. YOU give him his power.
At the same time, Politico does a moderately normal reporting of his first 100 days. I’m like “Have aliens landed? Did someone release a brain-parasite at Politico? How is this possible?”
“During the Cold War, the British Army of the Rhine stood watch in West Germany for half a century with a force of 50,000 men — and the promise of swift reinforcements almost as quickly as the balloon went up. Today, all of European NATO couldn’t put a peacekeeping force in Ukraine of half that size”
Something else: Population and GDP has doubled since then. So they’re less than ¼ as strong as before per capita ratio size. For no reason, clearly they COULD. They don’t WANT to. Why?
We’re also incredibly smaller as well, btw. And recent podcast, apparently all our Navy does now is run into things and throw planes overboard? Every Carrier has hit every thing they can get near, never happened before. …Now as Krainer says, this is intentional. It’s not incompetence, although it ain’t good to LOOK incompetent. It’s meant to keep us juuuuuust barely unable to attack Iran “’cause today’s not a good day.”
But today IS a good day to pick on the Navy.

Never is a long time, but point taken.
“WSJ’s Glazer and her co-authors chose to publish the story—despite receiving a denial from Tesla’s board before publication..”
““It’s as if the Anglo-Zionist axis is using Kashmir as a volatile lab for a series of live tests – including pushing nuclear powers to the brink of confrontation..”
Yes, exactly, as Luongo points out, they leave a series of tripwires, then pull the pin whenever they feel like. Like for example, MI6 funds two, or more like 2 dozen violent groups, then Orders one to kill 35 people. …Which is nothing, sadly. BUT! IF you have long-term tension built, THEN it is INTERPRETED as NATIONAL violence, not some rando loon funded by London. They both jump in and mobilize a BILLION violent people.
Whyyyyyy does this work? Seriously? No one read history? Britain left WITH THE SOLE PURPOSE of F-ing India by dividing it and holding it down. Then the VIOLENCE – which they cause – means higher INTEREST RATES. Any time they need more money to flow to London, they have an “Accident” and Interest rates of LIBOR go up. Problem solved! Billions are transferred from India to Bristol.
Presidents: And at 1965, every third President was shot: Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, Roosevelt. Guess which ones fought the monetary system?
Then probably FDR, Kennedy, Reagan, Trump. A few others, but these were known and serious.

from ZH, at top post:
The Kremlin has said that what the newly signed minerals deal between Ukraine and Washington does is effectively force Kiev to pay for all future military aid.
DT is attempting to ‘get back the money’ that was ‘stolen’ from ‘us’ (USA) or ‘given away’ by us, by various culprits, such as, Biden, Zelensky, hoo, European idiotos, maybe even the British, whatever, you get the picture.
Imho these successive ‘mineral deals’ are a side issue. They may make Trumpy look smart, and make a ++ hit in some parts, but the contract is written on stained tissue paper.
(Idk the exact content of the latest agreement …)
UKR is a country with no ‘clear’ internal – external borders, a large part is occupied by Russia and is now, or soon set to be R, de facto, no matter what happens next. Who owns what territory is key in such agreements. Zel. is not a legit. Pres. according to many, any agreement he signs can be scrapped.
What is the pos. of the UKR parliament on this? Hmm…And who is going to organise / pay for / extraction, processing, transporting, selling, xyz ressources? To whom, at what cost, etc.? In a country that still exists and is not ‘at war’, and is not ravaged and mostly destroyed, non functioning? Unlikely…
The French call these kind of moves enfumage – en-smoking the audience, the opponents, etc.
“The biolabs are real!!!!!”
That is quite a delayed reaction to Victoria Nuland telling Congress, in public, broadcast on CSPAN and various news networks, announcing all the many biolabs in Ukraine were in Dire Peril – if Putin got his hands on them, it would be very, very dangerous.
That was in the first MONTH of the war, wasn’t it?
I met with an old friend about a year ago. He had been in the army when he was younger. Told me he just barely didn’t join up to fight for Ukraine as a merc. He is not a wealthy person, but he has nevertheless donated THOUSANDS of dollars to neo nazi organizations there.
…while being worried about Trumpian fascism, literally saying to me “But you must admit what an existential danger he poses to our democracy” I laughed and nodded because I thought he was doing the genx communication-via-sardonic-sarcasm bit. Repeat the Boomers’ words EXACTLY for maximum effect. Nope, totally serious.
He guffawed at the overthrow of the Ukraine government — I explained the leaked recording, the US State Dept PRESS CONFERENCE about that recording as REAL (to do damage control for having said “Fuck the EU” – but how would you need to smooth feathers by “explaining” and “creating spin” etc about a conversation that was not real? you’d just say “that’s a fake”)
I mentioned the biolabs and he guffawed “ho ho. what, an asprin factory???”
Dude, it was discussed by Congress and the US State dept on national television. You say you’ve spent THOUSANDS of hours studying the Ukraine conflict and you know nothing of even the coup or the biolabs? Nor the shelling of civilian populations for years?

ship carrying aid to Gaza in a bid to break Israel’s blockade has been hit by drones in international waters off Malta…
blew a hole in the vessel and set the engine ablaze…
a frantic effort to bail out water and keep the vessel afloat…
a vessel from Southern Cyprus had been dispatched after it sent SOS calls.
Aljazeera NewsCraig Murray says this about it —
Let me explain this to you plainly: I am a former Head of the Maritime Section of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. In international law, an authorised military attack on a ship in international waters is an act of war against the flag state of the vessel attacked.
Craig Murray also said this today —
Israel has bombed a civilian cargo vessel in international waters off Malta, carrying just aid and peace campaigners.
The failure of western governments to stand up to any aspect of this genocide is the worst example of the power of individual corruption in all of human history.
It would be mad to argue that Roosevelt or Churchill failed to prevent the Holocause because they were paid not to try. It is precisely true that Biden, Trump and Starmer have failed to prevent this Genocide because they were paid.
Headline yesterday in Stars and Stripes (The U.S. Military’s independent news source) —
“Turning a Navy carrier isn’t enough to cause a jet to fall into the sea, US defense official says”
It’s unknown why Truman would have been steered in a way that could send a plane overboard.
“Evasive maneuvers against anti-ship missiles (ASM) are not a standard procedure and would not generally be relevant or effective given the great difference in speed between ASMs and ships,” said Jan van Tol, a retired Navy captain and senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments in Washington.

The arrest of 72-year-old Medea Benjamin at the US Congress was very handsy but not overly rough. The length of the patdown gave Benjamin enough time in front of the camera to explain why she was there, what she was protesting, and what happened off the coast of Malta. The police officer did not interfere with her speaking or try to block the camera or hustle her away before she could make her statement.
So that’s something.Published today by a think tank in DC established by former president Nixon —
“America’s Aircraft Carriers Aren’t Helping Against the Houthis. Time for a Rethink.”American Carriers Are Useless in Today’s Contested Battlefield
Given that the Houthis are clearly getting better at threatening American carriers, the question everyone should be asking is: why is the Trump administration using the same military strategy in Yemen that their oft-criticized predecessors in the Biden administration used?
By having carriers loiter around the Red Sea, conducting endless airstrikes that apparently have done nothing to weaken the Houthis’ ability to launch missiles at ships, Trump is following Biden’s example in displaying American impotence.
Unless American leaders stop venerating the utterly obsolete aircraft carrier, if Washington doesn’t fundamentally change its approach to fighting the Houthis—namely by stopping its reliance on carriers in this fight—then sooner or later, the Houthis will get their carrier kill. And after that day, considering how important carriers are for the United States, it will be open season on whatever remains of U.S. military power.
US to Step Back From Mediating Ukraine-Russia Talks, Calls for Peace Proposals From Kyiv and Moscow
May 02, 2025No one knows. Everyone knows they failed, the entire Saudi army, all the mercenaries in the world plus all our tanks were like paper. No bombing troubles them, we only just had exercises demonstrating how vulnerable we are and how vital the Red Sea is to Europe. We’ve seemingly had several carriers and other ships hit, and many cargo were.
Yet we don’t care.
That leaves only Krainer’s theory. It MUST be intentional, bc above. It IS going to harm our reputation, and already has. It IS going to embolden the Yemenis, not reduce them. So we are doing it to “Protect” at EU/Israel request, while knowing full well it’s actually embargoed them and shut them off, adding percentages as all goods are moving through Good Hope instead.
Attacking Yemen = Attacking Europe and Israel. Yet Israel and Europe want it. Sold! Only that makes it worth the risk.
@ Dr. D,
I know very little but,
my assessment is that the US should get the fuck home and make up with Canada,
not fuck around with her but marry her,
stop fucking around with the other girls.@Michael Reid:
What’s up with posting that Sigma Boy video again?
I am clearly missing something.The Houthis are causing higher prices for British shoppers, says the UK Defence Secretary, so the RAF bombed Yemen this past week alongside the US forces.
The UK and allies have reportedly “dismissed” any anti-genocide motivations of the Houthis. The article doesn’t mention the word genocide, it refers to “Israel’s war on Hamas in Gaza.”
Shoppers face higher prices as a result of Houthi disruption to international shipping, the Defence Secretary has warned after airstrikes by British forces.
After a Royal Air Force strike against a drone manufacturing facility used by the Houthi militia in Yemen, John Healey said the UK took action in part because “ordinary people” pay the price for Red Sea disruption “in the food they buy, the goods they depend on”.
It is the first time the RAF has struck Houthi targets in Yemen since May 2024, under Rishi Sunak’s administration, and it was part of a joint operation alongside US forces.
It came after a leaked US Signal group chat revealed vice president JD Vance hated “bailing Europe out” and Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth said “European freeloading” was “pathetic”…
The Houthis claim their actions in the region are in response to Israel’s war on Hamas in Gaza, an assertion dismissed by the UK and allies.
Aircraft Carrierss:
The Black Hats are desperately trying to sink an aircraft carrier.
So the White Hats are letting them!US Ukraine Mineral Deal:
Now that Trump has successfully re-bribed Congress with the Ukraine Mineral Deal, Congress no longer has to worry that the war mode cleaning of billions in US taxpayer money through their Ukrainian Laundrymat, will be interrupted anytime soon, even if peace mode should accidently break out!!!
The Ukraine Mineral Deal ensures that no Ukrainian minerals will ever be harmed by mining them in the Ukraine!
Only US taxpayers will be harmed!
