“Ghislaine Maxwell Asks Court To Overturn Convictions, Citing ‘Newly Discovered Evidence’
The evidence is there were no Johns, so clearly she could not traffic to anybody.
MIT Shooter “Found Dead in NH” Just got really, really sad and died. It happens. Could be because news reporters are now unaware the English language has an “Active Tense.” All things are written in the Passive Tense, and that makes sense because things Just Happen. We are all victims and personally I blame the Patriarchy. The shooter died of Patriarchy. Or Capitalism. One or the other, I’m sure. If there were an Active Tense then people would have agency and have to make decisions and do work and Millennials can’t do that.
“Watch: US Naval Forces Now Have Suicide Drones
In the “We’re an Empire but also make no bullets” category. Here, 20 years after, they have the 1st most basic level. But note these aren’t going to be very offensive, and you can’t uphold Empire on them. So sad.
Cue how “We’re Stupid” and ought to field weapons that CAN uphold Empire. If we have those weapons it’s bad, and if we don’t have them it’s bad. All things are bad.
“China Says Region Closer To War Due To US Record Taiwan Arms Package
Why is this a headline except to yank my crank? Yes, they’re “Closer to war” in the same sense that Ukraine is “Closer to Peace”. That is, not at all.
“California Expected To Defy Federal Pressure, And Reissue 17,000 Non-Domiciled CDLs
Exactly why all Trump has to do is “Just tell” Ukraine, Israel, London, China, what to do, and they do it! They have no choice, and if they don’t do it, it’s Trump’s fault. Meanwhile California won’t do the simplest, most legally-founded Federal action and demands The Federal level invade, hang, and occupy everyone by force.
That’s why only America exists and only Americans matter. Apparently we’re the only ones with choice and agency.
“”No Arrests!” But More ‘Developments’…
Hmmm. And “No Reporting” either. Soooo…Grassley won’t seat any DAs so the Agencies can take these cases. Oops! Did we forget to mention that Congress has essentially defunded and stonewalled all prosecutions? Huh, my bad. Then Comey, WHYYYYY? Why? Because the existing DAs knew exactly what would happen, so they only put forward the case bc it was clocking out. Then exactly what they expected happened, as a Federal Judge tossed it as a favor to a Pal. No loss since it was only put forward to demonstrate this reality. To YOU. You took the Opposite lesson.
Oh, did I refuse to report on that too? So you think it’s TRUMP who isn’t prosecuting? Wow, what a coincidence when all mistakes point the same direction for generations in a row. Who can figure it all out?
Oh He’ll “Just tell them” not to. Ah. Like he tells California to stop killing people on the highway and screwing Federal Immigration law? (Note they literally hamper Federal Agents everywhere, including the mile of the border)
Oh you “Just Tell” People! Right. How’s that work at your workplace? When you tell BillyBob to stop coming in drunk and do his job, he “Just does it” and becomes a completely new person and not a lying, thieving low-life scoundrel at all.
Have we all not said for years, for GENERATIONS that the Government was like this, and almost no good people in it, which is why they needed to be defunded? And now, when that’s happening before your eyes, no, they’re all good people who “you just tell” and they all follow orders and arrest themselves. Hey: go re-watch “The Untouchables” 1920. What did Ness have to do? 100 years ago, already EVERY Jury was crooked. He had to swap juries to even have a CHANCE. …And that was also illegal. All of you would scream your heads off about how “it’s illegal” (to arrest criminals). Spare me.
“Brown University Accused Of Removing Cameras To Evade ICEWhat? The Police and Administrators are all crooked? Whoodaknewd? When did this start and why don’t they arrest themselves? Btw, I don’t believe this either. Not just because they said it, but because it’s POWER and they’d never give it up. They’d “Break” them by shutting off the feeds and diverting them to a sub-routine only they could access, then sell that data/power to their friends. Whitey Bulgar? Mueller says you’re doing a murder/robbery for the FBI again? We’ll have all the cameras off and I’ll keep a copy for my insurance. NOT “Got up in a bucket truck at $100/hr and removed them.”
Am I crazy here? All police now have body cams, and exactly as cynics like me said, every time something happens, the body cams suddenly “Break” and nothing happens. Evidence, hard drives, just appear and disappear and no one goes to jail. No one even asks the question.
Oh why don’t they go to jail, Docktor? Uhhh, because they’d have to arrest themselves? THIS IS WHY YOU HAVE NO GOVERNMENT, or more exactly, the smallest possible government, at the lowest possible level. With everyone balancing off each other, say State Police and Sheriffs, Local, State, and Federal prosecutors. Because every power you create with them, is a power they can use against YOU. And will, and have. That’s why the power has to rest with the People. Who are armed and responsible, moral, and dutiful. We have one of those.
“The Burevestnik can project power to any place on earth”Yes, only ONE kind of power, same as an ICBM since 1950. Nothing’s changed. Carrier Groups are on the opposite end. They project very detailed and variable power in ordinary circumstances, but are sitting ducks in any real war.
We are cooing over Russia’s “Escalation Dominance” in Ukraine. Correct! They control everything from .32 caliber bullets up to Nuclear missiles. The “West” has only blather and Nukes. THAT WAS THE POINT. That the “Cowboy Americans” who are too retarded and violent to do anything but Nuke Russia for us when Putin “Impunes thy honor suh.” Retards. No, Americans are NOT like that. And you keep LOSING when you say every gun toting Redneck is a violent hack. Then keep doing it while you keep losing, decade after decade, ignoring the Cleetus may be dumb, but he’s smarter than YOU. Narcissism 101. Same here. Russia in “Projecting Power” terms has near zero “Escalation Dominance”. …And that’s not a slight on them, they didn’t WANT any, because it’s expensive and they are Defensive. But that means only two power projections anywhere off the Russian border: Blather, and ICBMs, same as us.
Irony is, of course, we have only OFFENSE and no Defense, because our borders are completely open and we’re projecting everything and Defending nothing. Russia is defending everything and projecting nothing. …Or not more than 200 miles with direct physical supply lines on their own borders, i.e. a man could put on sneakers and walk there.
Now the task of “No Empire” is to make us like them. Where we only Defend and don’t Project, which is infinitely cheaper as well as moral. This is what American People wanted all along, aside from like 1,000 crazies at the top. Those crazies are also not Americans, they are Globalists, as we see so many hop the pond and work for UK or EU seamlessly, even on a revolving door. Russiagate crew was full of them, but Jancowitz (Mary Poppins) comes to mind. This is also expressly against all American Law, since Law One, if you want another level on how categorically unAmerican it is.
Anyway, today’s talk is about Power Projection. We have 800 military bases and they have two? When we have nothing in the field at all (in Ukraine) except Minuteman Missiles that means the U.S. sucks and has no army, but when Russia has the same thing for us, only Burevestnik, it’s suddenly good? Why would Russia need to hit Antarctica? Do they know something? We already have no missile defense against Khrushchev’s missiles from 1957, so why bother?
I’m quite certain we can still level all Russia with sheer numbers and no finesse, so we can return the favor. Why bother? We can blow up the world 100x over, but now suck so bad we can only blow it up 2x over. And?
None of this changes the strategic equation. Or I should say the OFFICIAL strategic equation. We probably have all kinds of things.
“if either side were serious, they’d kill 2 million men in one hour, not 3 years.
“The Russians have demilitarized NATO and sent the west into bankruptcyThat’s exactly my point. Russia could end the Ukraine war in the first 5 minutes: Push (nuke) button here. Bad man go bye-bye. They are not by showing supernatural RESTRAINT. And the purpose of that restraint, which their citizens are very annoyed with, is to lose thousands of very excellent and rare Russians to collapse Europe INSTEAD. And that’s going very nicely, thank you.
But my point was exactly they are not at all serious about war. If they wanted to fight a serious all-in war and not just choke out Europe specifically, they’d hit the master button, go drink tea, and 7 billion people would be dead in 6 months. 1B on the first hour, and 5 Billion more shortly as the radiation and economies collapse. 1B would in-fight in the few months thereafter.
This was EUROPE’S plan, which is why Russia doesn’t prefer doing what their enemies desire.But in any serious war, taking out all Kiev, and London, Paris, or NY, and I dunno, killing 50M in the few capital cities alone is the work of about 5 minutes. Therefore: this we have now is not a “War”, or not in the way any normal person would account it. And that is precisely in agreement with Putin, which is why as a lawyer he specifically and pointedly classifies it as a “Police Action.” Because it’s NOT serious, is a minor annoyance to Russia, and they want Europe to think about that.
Trump is a hard core Christian which you can tell by his amazingly Christian-charity-like actions, and is most certainly a Zionist puppet, which is why they hamper his every action and try to murder him every other month. Make it make sense.
So it wasn’t the Zionists, the CIA trying to assassinate him? It was good Constitution loving Americans? You’re so tangled up you can’t tell a Thing and an #Opposite to a Thing. Deep breaths: if Trump is their boy, why are they stopping him everywhere, at every turn, by every means?“a jaw-dropping visit to a “dark factory” churning out mobile phones with barely a human in sight.”
Totally true! Absolutely! …Now I just go over to the loading docks, put two flat tires on the trucks and salt the formula of their plastic in-feed so it’s slightly more sticky. Bye-bye factory! All shut down now. All these patterns are Efficient. = Cheap. But that means they are Anti-Resilient. Efficiency is the enemy of Resiliency. Now – I – don’t have to do that. Bad banking, finance, will erase the factory exactly the same. A supplier vanishes, remember Thai hard drives? Customers have no free cash and only buy half as many this year. Factory goes dark 6 months, but it RoI on 80% capacity. Boom, bankrupt, sold off, bye.
And at every level, with more problems than you can swing a cat at. Real ones, financial ones, but also all TIMING ones, as bonds must be paid. On a Date. Then every product goes obsolete instantly now. It’s not creating light switches good for 100 years, small-block pistons. That chip is worthless 9 months from now, ask Nvidia and ChatGPT.
They are looking at one end of the system and not the other. But weigh it: this is how the U.S. military acts, our gear is only barely functional with perfect supply chains and infinity money. Nevertheless, 50 years after taking that ill-advised bet, supply hasn’t been shut off and we won every day. Russia builds robust, lasting gear, but is slightly heavier and less capable. They’ve instead had to cope with that 80% level compared to us, because we were never in a real, ugly, dirty war so far. So I’m saying I recognize that factory can stay lit far longer than one might expect it can.
What I mean by Robots, $100 is 1) they need to be out operating, not sitting on a shelf in a box, 2) they need to be fixed. So there are no fixers in this whole factory? They never chase weird bugs in the code and servos that make them fall down on the floor and chimp out, stopping that part of the line? Must be a new type of machine, as no human construction has ever not broken before. AI constructions are provably far worse. These are extremely complicated.
“Meanwhile the Donald claims to have achieved peace in the Middle East”
Ugh. Just one of the many retarded things in that speech. He was trying to get enough peace to last to this speech: a mere month! Nope. As expected. Nevertheless, the other option was “No Peace”. So everyone would be far happier if he has tried no peace at all, even knowing everyone would double-cross all deals. Right? War = Peace guys. Think about what you’re saying. Oh he’s going to “Just tell them?” Hahahahaha! Oh so maybe you want US to invade and occupy both Gaza AND Israel, and shoot anyone who defies us in BOTH countries. I think that’s what you’re saying, bc otherwise the reality is where we are.
“buttering does work well on that Trumpian ego alright.”
You say this at the same time he’s been buttered up then double-crosses the butterer. Which is it? If flattery worked it wouldn’t also reliably fail. If Trump was “Influenced” he cannot also be “Rogue.” Pick one. You can’t just flip back and forth based on which one makes Trump ‘bad man”.
Trump has to cope with them and keep them in a large corral because he can’t knock them out yet. In fact he doesn’t’ want to be controlled AT ALL, by ANYONE, and will sink them the minute he can. But that’s not exactly what you all want? He’s fighting 20 enemies, but that’s not enough. You’ll impeach him if he doesn’t fight 21. General Washington would be so proud. We really need to invade Canada and declare war on the French now. Maybe occupy Florida too. Yorktown will come much sooner that way.
Larry Wilkerson? Who’s been wrong about everything so far? Yeah, great, another hour I’ll never get back.
“Trump is willing to go over everyone’s head, around Europe, to get a peace deal with Russia. But whether he can get support with Rubio, congress, his staff, is anyone’s guess.” — Wilkerson. Ohhhh! So he DOES get it. So he and I are on the same page, but that’s the Opposite of what you’re saying. You’re saying 1) Everyone wants peace except Trump, who is uniquely bad, or 2) Everyone is lock-step aligned, which is why they attack, halt, and shoot Trump monthly. Orrrrr, it could be like Wilkerson, Luongo, and I suggest. “Trump has no power over his own staffing” — Wilkerson. No, what? And when he can’t hire or fire anyone, somehow he’s responsible for what the people he can’t fire didn’t do? Got it.
“Chain Reaction to WWIII has begun”. Oh. So WWIII already happened! Who knew? That’s it boys! it’s a done deal, bye. Oh wait, it’s one of these “Chain Reactions” that doesn’t actually move forward and can just be stopped at any time by anyone? Yeah, that’s called “Every other normal day” and not what the common invocation of “Chain Reaction” means. It means “Fast” and “Nearly unstoppable” which is what the headline is intended to invoke. But in point of fact, nothing has happened, and nothing CAN happen, because Europe has no men and no weapons and won’t until 2030 if ever, and has no “money” to do anything, which is a huge obstacle. We say we’ll sell them the weapons. Everyone goes insane! Chimps out in the cage, throws poo. Trump is 120% prowar! This PROVES it!!! Bombshell. Walls are closing in.
Yeah, Europe has no MONEY, you dips, they ain’t bying s—t. And we don’t HAVE the hardware and aren’t building any factories. AND…and sadly we’ve already had to get to these levels because of these pathetic war-mongering freaks – IF Europe said they’d buy them, we’d instantly go up a level and tell them to pay us in GOLD because you’re gonna lose. Duh. And then, poof! No money, no weapons again.
So much for “Escalation” and “Unstoppable chain reaction.” Bye. How about there is neither escalation NOR chain reaction.
I’m not a genius here. CLEARLY. I can just tell X from “Not-X”. Having NO weapons and factories is categorically different from having weapons, men, and factories. But everyone has WORDS, so they are baffled. If a guy is working for you, you don’t come down from the high office and try to stop everything he does. CLEARLY. Stop outsmarting yourselves.
“The Jews are central to everything”That’s amazing and you’re so right. All the Non-Jews have no choice but to obey because the Jews are so racially superior that resistance is futile. We have no option to say no but must obey all commands given and believe all words said. I mean, that’s what you’re saying, right? It’s alright. Every day you re-affirm that Jews are God. You obey them. I understand. What else can mere non-Jews do?
Oh wait, because if it weren’t US, then WE would just say No. Wouldn’t we?
Near the end, half an hour on how we ALREADY land-invaded Venezuela, and already were mired in a deadly war for 2, 4, 20 years. Oh noe!!!. And we lost! All because nobody would listen to him, and nobody knewd or saw it coming!!!
Yup, well I read this history book we all did that, years n years ago.
Then in two throwaway sentences, both say “Yeah, Trump isn’t actually doing that because it’s stupid, he’s just laying leverage on them to get a deal and try to squeeze out China from the West.” Whaaaa??? You don’t say???
Does that also mean we DIDN’T invade? Then a minute later “The idea Trump is paying 3D chess is laughable…he is uniquely terrible…” Wait, YOU just SAID he was playing 3D chess! I didn’t say that. Pick one.
Then they say, “Trump is just trying to bluff to leverage Maduro to an agreement. If that’s a Win-Win then…” Sir? A “Win-Win” is called…A “Win”? That’s not a euphemism, a “Win-Win” by all human definitions, even the original corporate one, means “Everybody Wins.” Comes out ahead.
So you do NOT want a Win-Win, sir? You want an Empire. Where WE win but everyone else loses.
So after admitting this again, they then return to how “The entire Pentagon is a ship of fools, they are incapable of war and do not Defend…” Oh. You mean YOUR people. The organization YOU come from and speak for. Trump doesn’t know anything, because they have telepathy, and Hegseth has bad personal habits.
Man, they’d sure hate Patton! What an idiot that Patton guy was, unfitting of a General. And Grant too, the lout. Losers the lot of them, I say, as a CIA analyst-man.
Continuing BothNeitherAii, Johnson then says Everyone in the whole CIA is lying with every breath, barely able to get out the vaguest truth in all their intel reports, decades ago, before it got bad, and also “Trump never listens to or reads our CIA intel reports!!! Why not!?!?! What an idiot!” Larry, YOU JUST SAID everything in those reports was false AND you JUST SAID they are all meant to channel, direct, and control Presidents, sooo…you want him to read all those lies anyway? And do what exactly with those lies sir?
These aren’t MY words, they are YOURS. …And you wonder why I’ve grown cold and frustrated with these guys.

Clearly you have a very high intelligence, and just as clearly you are exceedingly frustrated by the words and deeds of your fellow humans, especially those other humans who aspire to big thinking and meaningful deeds.
What is very apparent to me (and probably less apparent to you, since you’re the one intellectually suffering so painfully from it), is that you are stuck in some sort of paradigm that still does not make good enough sense to you that you can claim to understand it.
I think (I speculate from evidence, though I too cannot claim to fully understand it) that the paradigm you’re stuck in is the notion that Truth and Lies exist independently of each other in such a way that the Universe would function better (or function at all!) if there were no lies in it.
If you stand back from the fray for a moment (a very long moment perhaps) and apply that excellent mind of yours to its fullest effect, then you will see that this Universe consists of practically innumerable dichotomies which are essentially truth at one pole and lie at the other. The Universe’s very existence, consequently, is dependent upon both for its continual operational existence. Heaven at one extreme and Hell at the other.
The amount of concentrated mental and spiritual focus that’s required to THINK in these terms is ferociously difficult because the lies and truths must be unpacked in their finest detail before they release the understanding which exists, and makes perfect sense, once you sort it all out.
If Geoffrey Sachs (or any other of your favorite heroes and villains) engage in what seems to you to be nonsensible double-speak then you can still know at least one thing about that phenomenon: It DOES make sense to those who understand WHY they are doing so.
In other words, it DOES make sense, and WILL make sense to you, too, once you understand WHY those weird behaviors are happening.
I sure hope that you like to work hard, because you’ve got some hard work cut out for you if you choose to continue trying to sort the mess out to your satisfaction.

@MyParentsSaidKnow
But of course the Luddites are right, you know. The machines are going to be the death of us (or a LOT of us anyway, in even the best of possible cases) and attempting to reverse course now (which we of course SHALL do because current trends are PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTINUE without catastrophic loss of human life consequent to misallocation of limited resources towards AI instead of to human beings.) will not avert the catastrophic loss of human life that is now baked into the hemlock regardless of which path is chosen (AI-Machine controlled future or NOT such an AI Everything future.)
That escape hatch that you see swinging closed never closes completely, but the price that must be paid for using it is just going to get higher and higher until that choice is made ….. and that “price” is for the truth to come out.
The truth is WAY worse than anyone wants to admit right now. But they will admit it, because AI-for-the-masses has put that capability within reach of anyone with a few hundred bucks and the notion to use that AI to make some money, by fair means or foul, depending solely upon personal preference.
There are half a dozen major criminal enterprises that would be absolutely and quite literally impossible without the intense and concentrated use of computer machine intelligence over the time span of several decades AND also the complete capture of all of the main societal institutions like Justice, Media, Finance, Government, Intelligence Services, Health, Education and Warfare.
In other words, as of this writing, the foxes still own and operate the hen house. It looks like its about to come to end, but it AIN’T over yet.
“
Venezuela has ties with hamas and they have ties with hisbola and they have condemned the genocide. They don’t support Israel. The Zionist bankers don’t want Venezuela oil outside of their purview. The military industrial complex does not want Venezuela oil or other resources to escape its grasp. That is why we are going after Venezuela. It has nothing to do with drugs. There are other countries that supply more drugs than Venezuela. It is absurd. Anybody who would believe that has been living under a rock.

Dear Dr. D please watch
The names Burevestnik and Harrier jump jet refer to two entirely different military technologies from different eras and nations: the former is a Russian nuclear-powered cruise missile, and the latter is a British-developed vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) fighter jet. There is no single aircraft that is both.
The Burevestnik (SSC-X-9 Skyfall)
The Burevestnik (Russian for “Storm Petrel”) is a Russian nuclear-powered, nuclear-armed cruise missile with a reported “effectively unlimited” range.
Type: A subsonic cruise missile, not a jump jet aircraft.
Propulsion: It uses a small onboard nuclear reactor for propulsion, allowing for extended flight times and ranges of thousands of kilometers to evade conventional missile defense systems.
Status: Russia announced a successful test flight in October 2025. Western experts, however, have questioned its strategic value, noting its development has been fraught with challenges and a 2019 accident that killed several specialists.
Function: It is a strategic weapon designed to carry a nuclear warhead.
The Harrier Jump Jet
The Harrier is the first successful vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) jet aircraft.
Type: A British-developed ground attack and air defense fighter jet, developed by Hawker Siddeley and later British Aerospace (and McDonnell Douglas/Boeing in the US).
Propulsion: It is powered by a conventional Rolls-Royce Pegasus turbofan engine that uses a system of rotating nozzles to direct thrust downward for vertical flight and to the rear for forward flight.
Function: The Harrier was used for close air support, reconnaissance, and naval defense, notably by the UK’s Royal Air Force and Royal Navy, and the United States Marine Corps.
Legacy: The Harrier influenced the design of subsequent VTOL aircraft, such as the F-35B Lightning II, which is its eventual replacement.
The two systems are entirely unrelated, representing different military technologies developed by different nations for different purposes.BUT
Imagine a Burevestnik jump jet
Bitcoin: I’d think it would have to go to $70~ to shake out, but it’s a weird world and that’s a long way down. It appears to be capped and controlled right now, as it doesn’t move in any normal way. It remains below a trendline, which is very dangerous.
Gold trying to build a continuing flag, but yet to occur. Silver is bananas, it OUGHT to come back to breakout, re-test, and continue, which will take some time, but doesn’t look in the mood. That’s what, 20% down? But that leaves little to chart on.
“CIA is Broken… Can It Be Fixed?
It is simple human nature… If you want to get promoted, don’t tell the truth, just go along with the program…”
Why doesn’t Trump hang on every word of an agency who has been known not to tell the truth to Presidents for generations? Why, that’s just silly. He simply must, MUST listen to and act on their clever lies…“Imran Khan & Wife Sentenced To 17 Years In Latest ‘Sham, Secretive’ Trial”
If you want to know what’s really going on, who’s running Pakistan like this? Who’s running Cuba? Okay, who’s running Chile? Who’s running Belgium who is bucking them all?
I thought there was only one group, who were lockstep and indistinguishable. “The West”, “The Amish”. If so, why is there any fighting at all? That group already won and there’s nothing to fight over. We know there’s no White Hats because no one’s fighting and it’s peaceful all day long, right? Also you’re not a White Hat, or when I say there are White Hats you’d say “Yeah, I know, it’s ME, and I’m tired.” Yes?
Other news: since literally nothing can be reported, and none of that honestly, then what can we infer? I am so tired of having to invent new levels of clever just to do Very. Obvious. Things. Okay, there’s blockade in Venezuela – I saw it on the news! …Ummm, they are letting all the ships through. Huh? Yes, a “Blockade” and therefore an Act of War, is when you allow NO ships through. In Ven MOST ships are getting through, in fact they are stopping almost NONE of them. How many? A tanker, a few rowboats?
So they “Just Make S—t Up” about a “Blockade” and therefore an “Act of War” for “Impeachment”. And thus Congress, who works for “them” — whoever they are. “They” have six ways to Sunday to get to you” – Schumer. But fine, we love the Press on this, makes people think we’re doing something when we’re totally not, go to court and what will the Judge say? “What is the legal definition of ‘Blockade’?” A: it’s when you stop ships. “We are not stopping ships, case dismissed.” How did we miss this?
Okay, other direction: we ARE stopping ships, why only this one, and why in public? A: We did not find 100 trafficked children, or they would spread it widely on the news as a win. It’s not 100 tons of drugs, same thing. It’s not the oil, we probably print more money in 10 minutes than the whole cargo was worth. Sooo…what exactly?
And why nobody wants to say. They only say Orange Man Bad, no other questions are asked – at all. No other details are given – at all. If there are no details, the news story is, always, a lie.
So it’s something else. They DID have a de-facto “embargo” as it caused insurance rates to rise and ships to get cold feet. But you can’t really say it’s illegal to make your car insurance go up. Plenty of ships do plenty of non-safe runs right now, and we’re not sinking tankers (so far) we’re sinking homemade submarines that are totally not suspicious at all. And of course no fishing boat ever ran any drugs and contraband, ask Hemingway. “To Have and Have Not,”1944. But it’s 2025 and all fishermen in drug-cartel areas have never met a criminal ever of course. That’s because people in America are uniquely evil, but all other people are earth are completely innocent and unable to commit crimes. They hand you the crime sheet when you get your naturalization papers here, true fact.
Anyway, is stopping boats in international waters illegal? Depends what you do with them. Roughly speaking, file that lawsuit, Congress is overseeing this, and they have. I would stop them, because they won’t tell the truth and give me information. We’re also not local police who can arrest people in Columbia, Brazil, or Martinique either, we have no business and no jurisdiction. On high international waters? Well…show me, but don’t.
“Venezuela risks becoming “the American Ukraine”… a war of choice that bogs the U.S. down and consumes an entire presidency…”
Where we ALSO didn’t fight and have no troops on the ground? Lie + Lie = Lie. Point taken, though. It’s bulls—t and just like Ukr, if you want it, then explain it to me. Otherwise, no, not a nickel. And yes, I’ll file what I must to stop it. You can discuss it at your impeachment trial, like all the other wars.
Dan Davis: Oreshnik and Odessa.
Looks like they already have Odessa. The plan was to make them bomb this beautiful, historic, Russian city, and all the Russians in it. However, it seems Russia is there all night, walking about any time they like, and Ukr is unable to stop them. It’s street-by-street mixed up, buuuuuut… If that can happen, it’s gone, wouldn’t you say?
Roughly, while keeping the squeeze on them in the east. Well…everywhere at once, in Russian fashion, they starved Odessa and cut them off. Any time troops were had, they were prioritized out of Odessa. And since the population is Russian, they’re just saps in the crossfire. Russia hit nearly nothing there, a few ships in port, a few intel bases. And already it’s nearly theirs. This is a Loooooong way from the river, and Crimea behind it.
Strategywise, second, yes they need it. Yes it’s a major center and apparently a deeper, more important port. Yes London and Kiev would love to scorched-earth it and make Russia watch. But also Crimea is not entirely safe without it, either. As we saw with Romania haunting the Black Sea by air, which is further away. But since it’s practically on the border, just rushing up and grabbing Odessa is touchy and Romania/NATO would immediately start shelling on them.
So here they “own” the city, but also don’t. Schrodinger’s Occupation. Then if you push in and want it for real, what fight is there? None, not even street to street. They ask Kiev politely to leave if they don’t all want to die, and Kiev withdraws, essentially, to fight elsewhere. That doesn’t solve the Romania problem – YET – but NATO is about to collapse and other Visegrad nations have flipped. We already see Romania is essentially hostile occupation by Brussels. That can’t last.
So Definitions vs Definitions. Noting Odessa is virtually captured now, and that matters. Leading the question, what does Russia WANT to happen? Today, and in the future? They “Capture” the place, “But then they need to administer it”, like Lviv. Do you WANT to? They’re hostile. Odessa is overwhelmingly friendly. And when? If NATO/Europe sinks, loses money, all wealth is on Russia’s side of the line, then Odessa will VOTE to be Russian, just like last four oblasts, and possibly across the river too. So they add one every 4 years and in 30 years, all Ukraine is decisively and legally “Russia”, and Europe is Sudan, a war state that hasn’t even the time to think about you. Why be in a hurry?Okay, Duran yesterday, Alex(s) assure us, in the strongest terms, that if Trump had got elected, then a minute later said “War’s over, don’t’ care about any of it, you’re on your own” and refused to talk to anyone at all, the whole would would have loved, loved, LOVED Trump, and approved in the strongest terms. However, the MINUTE he talked to anyone, or floated ANY peace plan, then Trump becomes responsible for ALL American actions back to 1994. Completely and totally. And no backsies!! He can’t float peace, demonstrate Europe is a posse of war-mongering lunatics, and THEN leave and have peace. No. He cannot. The MINUTE “Ukraine” crosses his lips – that’s it! All blame of the world collapses on him, like Jesus Christ. Because Trump Is God.
Yup. And that’s not the first time they’ve said that. They said that weekly. ANY attempt at peace – if not completely and overwhelmingly successful, worldwide, with no reservations – then the entire war back to 1054 is Trump’s fault, and the only solution is to nuke everybody. Thanks, Alex, you’re a genius.
Alex then says “Trump chose Epstein as the hill to die on” “It’s his fault”. Yup. So after TWENTY-FIVE years of denying EVERYTHING, there was no pedos, there is no Israel, there was no Clinton, Epstein WHO? The man who RELEASES the docs is actually the guy who is SUPPORTING Epstein. Yes. Totes. And HE is going to die on this, although he is the one NOT in the docs. Right. AND they will impeach Bondi. Yay! Go ahead! I’ll help!
Yes, the guy who keeps Jeffy in the News, daily, and releases docs is Guilty, while the last 10 guys, including all the guys in the pictures, like Mr. Clinton, are mere irrelevant afterthoughts, totally innocent! Yup, yup, according to Alex. ANY thing not done perfectly means he raped and murdered EVERYONE on earth. He and he alone is at fault. Really, it’s because he did NOT do that that makes him guilty, and it’s BECAUSE Clinton, Gate, Branson were there, that makes them all perfectly innocent. Because: OMB.
So we now have a new level of TDS. Complex, or cTDS. It operates in far more complex half-truths than the normal knee-jerk variety.
I say by this standard, Alex Christophorus is guilty too! He ALSO did not go to Epstein Island, so he’s just as guilty as Trump is. He hated Epstein and kicked him out when he first found out, just like Trump. Guilty as charged! So I’m expecting jail time for Alex, any day now. #Logic. cTDS Logic.
No, it’s not about the drugs, but it’s not about the oil either. Ven’s oil system has collapsed from being robbed and gutted out, just like the “Capitalists” said it would when you steal maintenance to free money citizens. It also cannot be refined here, so it’s useless to us. I can think of several paths from this, but it makes is definitely NOT “It’s the Oil”. You mean the oil that can’t be lifted, piped, moved, or refined? How valuable is it in that condition? How many decades will that take?
So if I have to describe how Ven does do drugs, but fewer, and is the CIA CONTROL center there, working for the Derp State against nation states, especially us, and why, then YOU need to tell me how almost the world’s worst oil, that’s locked in the ground, barely mobile, pipelines all collapsed, is relevant and valuable in the same way. Both are complex, but you seem to think saying “It’s the oil” can just be a thought-stopper. Howso?
There is copper on asteroids in space too, and no one can get to that either. Does that mean “It’s the copper” is an answer to why we build rockets? Not so much.

Deciding not to crash the western financial system yet: EU Folds On Russian Asset ‘Reparations’, Commits $105BN Loan To Ukraine https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/eu-commits-105bn-loan-ukraine-fails-steal-russian-assets-reparations
EU blocks protesting farmers in Brussels using barbed wire, tear gas and water cannons, while Orbán says farmers are ‘100% right’
EU farmers protesting the free trade Mercosur agreement are being met with force in Brussels https://rmx.news/article/eu-blocks-protesting-farmers-in-brussels-using-barbed-wire-tear-gas-and-water-cannons-while-orban-says-farmers-are-100-right/EU “Russia Confiscation” Summit Ends In Failure As Brussels Quietly Paves Way For Eurobonds
The solution to Ukraine’s massive financing gap looks as follows: the European Union will provide Kyiv with an interest-free loan of €90 billion for the next two years. Repayment will only be required if Russia pays reparations—which it will not. In that case, the EU plans to fall back on frozen Russian assets to cover the deficit.
That immediate expropriation did not occur is largely due to Belgium’s insistence—given that Euroclear is legally domiciled there—on a collective assumption of liability risks. As so often when consequences might arise from its own actions, Brussels opted for a diluted compromise.
Through the back door, this effectively introduces Eurobonds—a joint debt issuance—without explicitly saying so…
..The Commission will issue bonds officially secured by Russian assets, but for which all member states ultimately bear proportional liability. Put differently: the EU is concealing yet another gigantic debt program, for which taxpayers will be on the hook in the end.
A large portion of this money will flow back into the European and American military-industrial sectors.
We are witnessing a classic EU solution: the existing rulebook is systematically undermined, while the representatives of the so-called “rules-based order” continue their erosion campaign—until even the last residue of trust in the integrity of EU institutions is ground down…
..On Thursday, the EU summit also failed to ratify the Mercosur agreement with South America. At the insistence of France and Italy, the decision was postponed by one month.
Negotiations have stalled for a quarter century. A finalized draft is on the table, providing for a phased tariff reduction over 15 years and covering Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. With 780 million people, a significant integrated market could emerge.
The agreement aims to boost European exports in automobiles and mechanical engineering while reducing tariffs on agricultural imports from South America—blocked primarily by the French farm lobby. Once again, the EU refuses to ease regulatory burdens on domestic farmers in order to balance competing interests.
In sum, the European Union keeps its debt machinery alive for another two years—while remaining incapable of making substantive moves on the international stage. The politics of postponement, and the costs of delayed decision-making, will ultimately be passed on to European taxpayers. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/eu-summit-ends-failure-brussels-quietly-paves-way-eurobondsMoon of Alabama, Russia Is In A Security Dilemma – Europe Pretends To Be In One
Yesterday the President of the Russian Federation took part in an extended board meeting of the Ministry of Defense.
..Putin in his second part with regards to Ukraine:
They engineered a coup, initiated military operations, and deliberately – I am convinced, deliberately – precipitated a war.
President Trump has said that had he been in office at the time, none of this would have happened. He may well be right. Because the previous administration deliberately brought matters to an armed conflict. And I think the reason is clear: they believed Russia could be swiftly broken up and dismantled. European “swine underlings”1 immediately joined the efforts of that previous American administration, hoping to profit from our country’s collapse: to reclaim what had been lost in earlier historical periods and to exact a form of revenge. As has now become evident to all, every one of those attempts, every destructive design against Russia, has ended in complete and total failure.
Russia has demonstrated its resilience in the economy, finance, domestic politics, the state of society, and, ultimately, in its defence capability…
…And our Armed Forces are on the rise. I repeat, much remains to be done, but it will all be done…
..1 ‘swine underlings’ is a verbal translation from the Russian [под-свинки] ‘under-pigs’. It means ‘small piglets’ who are completely depending on the mother sow.
Russia is much smaller than a united NATO. It has way less people and money. NATO countries are arming up. Their populations are actively manipulated into seeing Russia as THE enemy. Russia is in a security dilemma:
[A] security dilemma is when the increase in one state’s security leads other states to fear for their own security. Consequently, security-increasing measures can lead to tensions, escalation or conflict with one or more other parties, producing an outcome which no party truly desires; a political instance of the prisoner’s dilemma.
Europe pretends to be in a security dilemma. There is no way that Russia, with half the population size of the Soviet Union and without Warsaw Pact allies, could march to Berlin. It is completely unrealistic to say that Russia is a danger for the rest of Europe.

The ultimate perversion of decency: Caitlyn Johnstone, The Australian Israel Lobby Is Flat-Out Saying They Want A Ban On Criticism Of Israel
Australians everywhere should be made acutely aware that the Australian Israel lobby is now explicitly advocating a ban on criticism of the state of Israel.
Not just hate speech against Jews. Criticism of a foreign state. They’re coming right out and saying it.
During a recent public video conference with the American Jewish Committee on the topic of the Bondi Beach shooting, the Executive Manager of the Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council (AIJAC) explicitly says he wants pro-Palestine protests to be banned by the Australian government, and that addressing the problem of antisemitic hate speech in Australia necessarily means stopping opposition to Israel’s actions. https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/the-australian-israel-lobby-is-flatPalestinian journalist recounts rape and torture in Israeli prison https://israelpalestinenews.org/palestinian-journalist-recounts-rape-and-torture-in-israeli-prison/

Alex Krainer has fresh insights on mideast power relationships. Middle East tectonic shift: is Israel slipping through the cracks?
December 11 was the anniversary of the Syrian “revolution,” which toppled the regime of Bashar al Assad. A relatively small force of 20 to 30 thousand HTS Jihadi troops (formerly known as Al Nusra) overran the 260,000-strong Syrian Arab Army in only 11 days…
..Fast forward one year, and things appear to have changed, and quite radically. On 15 October this year, Syria’s new president visited Moscow and met with his counterpart, Vladimir Putin. Three weeks later, Al Jolani was at the White House for a working meeting with president Trump… Al Jolani was probably summoned to Moscow and Washington to meet the new bosses: “now you work for us!” This is perhaps what Trump was doing, in his own style, when he sprayed his “Victory” perfume on Al Jolani and his Foreign Minister Al Shibani…
..Tony Blair, who was supposed to be take charge of Gaza peace talks was abruptly dumped by the wayside and the Trump administration wrested the lead role in Syria from the British. At last week’s Doha Forum, independent journalist C. J. Wellerman spoke with U.S. Ambassador to Syria, Tom Barrack, who told him that tensions between the U.S. and Israel have reached an unprecedented boiling point over Syria, adding that “President Trump told Netanyahu to back off, or else…”
Barrack explained that Israel wants to foment a new war in Syria to divide the country, keep it weak and sabotage the new government, whereas the U.S. believes that maintaining peace and stability in the Arab country will have positive repercussions throughout the region.
This stance infuriated Israel, which is why the regime is now publicly attacking the U.S. Ambassador by accusing him of advancing Turkey’s interests at the expense of Israel’s security. According to a recent report in MEMO (Middle East Monitor), “… Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sees Barrack as ‘someone acting with hostility towards Israel,” and that he “is overly influenced by Turkish interests in Syria and behaves like an ambassador serving Ankara’s interests.”
Tom Barrack acknowledged that for the Israelis, a unified Sunni Arab state on their border is the sum total of their worst fears because it would pose an existential threat to the Israeli occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights and the Palestinian West Bank…
..One of the strange things about HTS and its predecessors was that they never showed any hostility towards Israel and until not so long ago, Al Jolani was speaking openly about peace and normalization of relations with Israel. As recently as last July, Benjamin Netanyahu himself asked Trump to lift Syria sanctions. Trump did as his friend asked, but Bibi might be having regrets about that request. By now, Al Jolani and his government dropped the Israel friendly mask.
On 8 December, the new Syrian Army held a parade at which the troops chanted pro-Palestine slogans, expressing solidarity with Gaza and vowing to liberate the Palestinian people. The reactions in Israel weren’t moderate: “Israeli minister says war ‘inevitable’ after Syrian troops chant for Gaza.”…
..Trump said he would not allow Israel to interfere in Syria’s development into a prosperous state. However, Israel isn’t backing down and is challenging the U.S. to a showdown over Syria. The deaths of two U.S. servicemen in Syria over the weekend might have been a warning.
Tel Aviv’s growing headaches also include Hamas, which now appears to have a close relationship with the new Syrian regime. Israel believes Hamas still has some 40,000 fighters in Gaza, the same number as they did before October 7, 2023 attacks… And it’s still a bit worse than that: U.S. intelligence believes that Hamas’ influence has grown over the past two years and that “Hamas has positioned itself successfully in other parts of the Arab and Muslim world.”…
..As The Times of Israel reported, Tel Aviv regards Turkey as “an immediate strategic threat to Israel.” Turkey has by far the largest military in the region with a huge arsenal of advanced weapons that include some 300 F-16 jets and thousands of powerful Bayraktar drones. Last but not least, Israel’s greatest enemy might be Israel itself. By recklessly opening hostilities with six regional powers and refusing to back down for over two years, it has gutted its own economy and its military strength.
And now another piece of bad news for Israel emerged: Trump administration has requested Pakistan to provide peacekeeping troops for Gaza. Apparently, Trump wants the peacekeepers to be from Muslim countries. At the moment, there seems to be great resistance to the idea, but ultimately Trump might get his way. https://alexkrainer.substack.com/p/middle-east-tectonic-shift-is-israelUS imposes sanctions on 29 ‘shadow fleet’ tankers carrying Iranian oil

Wednesday, President Donald Trump demanded Venezuela return assets seized years ago from U.S. oil companies, citing lost U.S. investments as part of his pressure campaign against Nicolás Maduro.
Venezuela first moved to nationalize its oil industry in the 1970s and expanded expropriations under Hugo Chávez, leading a 2014 international arbitration panel to order $1.6 billion to ExxonMobil.
U.S. forces last week seized an oil tanker off Venezuela’s coast amid a naval buildup including the U.S. Navy’s most advanced aircraft carrier; officials said the announced ‘blockade’ targets previously sanctioned vessels as some tankers divert.
Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil demanded in a letter to the U.N. Security Council that the U.S. release the ‘kidnapped crew’ and return oil seized on the high seas. https://ground.news/article/trump-venezuela-must-pay-for-seized-us-oil-assets‘Venezuela Will Never Again Be a Colony’: Maduro Government Denounces Trump’s Oil Blockade https://scheerpost.com/2025/12/18/venezuela-will-never-again-be-a-colony-maduro-government-denounces-trumps-oil-blockade/
Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez has said Venezuela would defend the “homeland at any cost” in response to President Trump’s declaration that he’s imposing a blockade on all “sanctioned” tankers entering and leaving Venezuelan ports.
The New York Times reported that, in the wake of Trump’s threat, which he issued on Tuesday night, the Venezuelan Navy began escorting tankers leaving Venezuelan ports, meaning that if the US attempts to seize another tanker that has a naval escort, it could lead to a direct clash between the US and Venezuelan militaries. https://news.antiwar.com/2025/12/18/venezuela-defense-minister-vows-to-defend-the-homeland-at-any-cost-after-trumps-blockade-threat/This tanker is reportedly Chinese: Gunboat Diplomacy Accelerated: US Seizes Another Oil Tanker Off Venezuela’s Coast https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/gunboat-diplomacy-accelerated-us-reportedly-interdicts-seizes-another-oil-tanker

They could assist her, but don’t: Canada was unable to treat a sick woman so it offered to assist her in taking her own life
She describes waking up sick every day, unable even to tolerate being awake for long hours, and has spent much of her life curled up on a couch, wishing the suffering would end. Her friends have stopped visiting, and she feels isolated from the world outside her front door.
Medical experts have told her that the definitive treatment for her condition—a specialized surgery to locate and remove the remaining overactive parathyroid gland—is available only from a surgeon with particular expertise.
Unfortunately, none are practicing in Saskatchewan, and she cannot access care elsewhere without a referral from an endocrinologist, yet no endocrinologist in her province is currently accepting new patients.
This has left Van Alstine trapped in an impossible situation: unable to get the medical help she needs, unable to travel for proper treatment, and facing unrelenting suffering.
Faced with this lack of viable medical support, Van Alstine applied for Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying program—legislation that was instituted in 2016 and allows adults suffering from grievous and irremediable conditions to request a medically supervised end to their lives when they meet specific criteria.
One physician has approved her application, and she is now waiting for a second approval, effectively scheduling her death under the terms of the assisted dying law if nothing changes. https://endtimeheadlines.org/2025/12/canada-was-unable-to-treat-a-sick-woman-so-it-offered-to-assisted-her-into-taking-her-own-life/ Loving this: BREAKING: CDC Sued for Pushing Illegal 72-Dose Childhood Vaccine Schedule

A Midwestern Doctor, What Vaccine Injuries Reveal About the Root Causes of Disease
The zeta potential concept is foundational not only to vaccine injury but also health and longevity
•Vaccines often cause various side effects, making it hard to identify common causes—many of which overlap with other mysterious and “incurable” ailments.
•Neurologist Andrew Moulden discovered that vaccines frequently trigger microstrokes, which can lead to a myriad of acute and chronic diseases.
•Forgotten research from the 1960s shows that blood cell clumping is a root cause of many diseases—a belief also shared by Chinese Medicine.
•Colloidal chemistry and zeta potential science reveal that positive charges around blood cells cause clumping. Agents with concentrated positive charges, such as aluminum and the COVID spike protein, are especially problematic.
•Improving the physiologic zeta potential benefits a wide range of acute and chronic illnesses. A strong case can also be made that many conventional and holistic therapies work in part by enhancing zeta potential. https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/what-vaccine-injuries-reveal-about Meryl Nass MD reviews, The latest UN/WHO document on mental health care and non-communicable disease.
