    4 years of Theatre of Macabre. Boom, 4 weeks Theatre of Absurd. They know, you know, they tried to kill everybody. Frantic backpedaling and reversals as the hearts blow, cancers grow, and the bodies pile up.

    Iron Mountain….jesus the stupid gets deeper in the face of The Brainiacs, The 160s and 182ers.

    Why doesn’t Elongated Musk repatriate a few shares of stock and volunteer to “digitize” it all for free? What would a New Elevator or Two really cost TESLA, StarLink, and SpaceX?

    Btw, Iron Mountain wasn’t a secret except to Elongated Musk and His 160s/182ers.

    Last year and 6 years into employment as a physician, a VA apparatchik demanded I produce a hard copy of my med school diploma circa 1988.

    Of course the request was harassment pure simple and Mike Reid knows the impoverished brains that concoct and confabulate such schemes. My boss The Chiropractor let me know “kindly” that I couldn’t just refuse the “demand”. I replied “Identify the authority making the demand and i will take it up we with Her

    Try surviving without the original or certified copy when the independent source fails to verify your credentials…………35 years after the diploma was conferred. Then try to prove The Independent Source deliberately erred or The Requesting Authority acted corruptly. How many H1B Indian doctors had their med school diplomas demanded by Mike Reid’s peers? Choose 0, none, zero. White ppl from western Pennsylvania conditioned to accept hind teat and enforce the rule.

    Or try obtaining a Real ID in Pennsylvania without an original birth certificate containing any spelling errors in your name at the age of 90. See if that Gov’t employee budges

    Starting with Krainer. He’s been all over lately so I don’t know which interview.

    1) Very complex issue that we at TAE know but seldom brought up. The debt-compounding that doesn’t allow for interest created has a very fixed death date. Thus the war. Thus Biden(Europe, Bankers) to bankrupt the U.S. and get us over the event horizon, collapsing as the Twitterati demand, balkanized, same plan as for Russia, plus Russia Rev 2.0. We STILL are too strong for them. STILL won’t war OR collapse. I think Team Trump ran the numbers and were aware with special conditions they could withstand the 4 years. As the offset is the 4 Biden years would sap the Left out of Rebellion.

    Okay, that leaves him back in, but WITH the debt-clock at the last grains of sand for a debt-compounding spiral. ALL things that are being done – FAST – super fast, are the same: Money. CUT COSTS. CUT Budget deficit. Get some panic economic motion in deregulation and optimism. Get some world investment. Right ff-ing now. Next: time-proven way of doing this, extending debt-collapse clock? Conquest. Adding land. Thus Canada, Greenland…and why Trudeau says “He’s totally serious about it”, which is otherwise a surprise. My take is no way, never. GOP would never win another election for 40 years. However, also yes, and that fits where IF they join “Currencies” in some way undefined, it works.

    All this exists ONLY until they can swap currencies, which is cultural and not overnight. Aaaaaaaaand: crypto. Headlined not just all over, every person, every regulator, but headline, Trump floating his coin. He does this as PR is a critical part of any endeavor. He drops PR bombs but WHICH PR bombs? What WORDS is he trying to get in the media? We’re nowhere to running BTC worldwide (not should we probably) but it can be competing currencies. …AS LONG AS IT’S NOT THE USD. With it’s debt-compounding dead date.

    He does, however, have to keep the plane aloft until we run out of airspace. This is what, say, Europe and their Bankers were trying NOT to do, as they were the currency/market alternative. …Except the 7 idiot sons of idiot sons couldn’t run a taco stand and screwed every individual act that would make all that functional. They didn’t win the Russian invasion, sure, but they can’t even run France. That’s why they needed a Civil War, a world war, or Technocratic Fascism. All steps involve the U.S. collapsing, war, or becoming essentially “European”, that is in translation to us, “Woke”. A simpering cuck. A colony.

    “Great Britain and European powers might not like what’s coming, but there is probably little they could do about it if Russia and the United States decided to move in this direction. Over the last 30 years they’ve essentially disarmed and rendered themselves wholly dependent on the United States. The British establishment saw all this coming too: in a report issued by the House of Lords in December 2018 titled, “UK Foreign Policy in a Shifting World Order,” they conceded that their “Special Relationship” with the United States was the “top priority and cornerstone of what we wish to achieve in the world.” They warned that the second Trump administration could jeopardize, or even end the special relationship. Ouch! –Krainer

    Yes, that’s why…everything. Europe had so little leverage or breathing room after 50 years of trying, that even if a moderate like Trump got in, it would probably fail. Thus Steele dossier, all MI6 Ops for 4 years. And as this quote, a Trump 2.0 for 4 yeas is definitely, definitive Euro-death. Oh well. Sucks to be you, trying to rob and kill everyone.

    2) I guess this doesn’t reach the level of #1, but U.S. IS BACKING A TREASURY NOTE. J. F. Kennedy’s Executive Order 11110. That is, the U.S. Treasury $2 bill, backed by silver, replacing (phasing out) the Federal Reserve. Trump just did this.

    You won’t hear about it because, being careful, it’s not exactly. We probably have no silver and although probably a lot of gold, has the same mental effect. He’s just saying, as per step one GET ME SOME G-DD—-N AIRSPACE!!! To “Monetize” the U.S. Assets, U.S. Treasury. That is, like the Assignat or something, back it with Real Estate – the US AID building is open, I hear – and anything else we got.

    Now that CAN go bad, the Left objections aren’t wrong here. They CAN hide a trillion giveaway of oil rights, clearcut National Parks, etc. Very bad. ...Or they could not, because we don’t have to. I see nothing on no intent right now. Like, the media is really busy, but the Bush-era oil giveaways were obvious and easily reported. We’re not even running that much, EVEN WITH Drill Baby Drill. But this is just our backstop: they’ll add as much as they need to to prevent collapse and get the necessary days to transition.

    As Krainer, again, in that article, the arrangement was Russia and our White Hats would ally – because they have toto permit a US Transition OUT of what we were doing. There are like 1,000 inexplicable things, esp in Ukraine about this. Neither behavior makes any tactical or strategic sense on the face-level. Only if you add something like this do you see Russia willing to blow 200k men to NOT win 100 miles of Ukraine, and WHILE the U.S. is sending one bullet at a time. …And both looking at Europe all the while.

    If it all collapses as the Death Cult wishes, the worldwide chaos means the worst guys prosper. Who had the most money, and also can nuke widely if they want. That’s the Hillary Clinton vision. But building things is a lot harder than breaking them. Russia wants to keep off worldwide technocratic dark ages for 500 years, and the U.S. Patriots don’t really want to collapse and lose America, the Enlightenment, and all Human Rights on behalf of gay EuroCommies. No thank you. So we’re here.

    As BOTH of us have the upper hand, basically, they’re Fucked.

    We’re going to run the field and do anything we Goddamned want. Starting with Woke, it seems. The DNC isn’t gong to do ANYTHING, clearly, and neither is the CIA or anyone else, as we just mud f—ked their entire budget in USAID raw, without the slightest opposition. Britain can barely lift their head and are collapsing in so many ways that no one can count. Elon is ordered to pile on, just for lols. TODAY’S statement on Ukraine/Europe blows Germany a 30 foot hole below the waterline, letting AfD in.

    So, who’s up boys? Who’s spoiling for a scrap? I can keep this up all day.

    In fact, please, PLEASE, for the love of God, now that we’ve got to this, PLEASE say you won’t give up so I can hit you again, in the face again and kick you in the balls, please. PLEASE give me the slightest pretext to keep hitting you until I get so tired of hitting you we all get so bored we wander off to do something useful for a change.

    Trump: 180 IQ. Nope, that’s impossible. As impossible as the “Millions of Russians killed in Ukraine” and the…I guess billions lost in WWII? Example: 100 is average. 70 is like mongoloid, can’t hold a spoon in an institution for the retarded. So, 1) a 30 point difference means you’re essentially not human, a different species, unable to interact with anyone “average” at all. 2) So a 30-point change on the other side means what? Yes, you’re not only unwilling, but incapable of interacting, speaking with anyone. Imagine spending your day with at the retarded home and bus outreach all day. Ask me how I know. So CLEARLY there are barely any real 140s out there, and 180 would mean you could levitate and fly into space like Magneto, so NO. The very concept is bulls—t and if any 180 says so, they’re morons. …Which is almost always what happens if someone cites IQ numbers online.

    “JOHN BOLTON: KREMLIN DRINKING VODKA OVER TULSI’S DNI NOMINATION”

    Yup, but: Bolton. So no one believes him or cares. The whole nation prays he’s miserable and dies drinking away his misery.

    Again, as above, so FOR WHY????????? Can they just pop through EVERY appointment, EVERY judge, EVERY media, EVERY Schumer and Pelosi, EVERY Zuck and Bezos. …That’s oddddddddddd…..

    “Yahoo Finance said the Pentagon had a $35T accounting black hole. That’s larger than the entire national debt..”

    Gee, I guess turning the dial even slightly on fraud will balance the budget and send US$ and T-Bills to the moon then, won’t they? We can also INFLATE in that dollar-confidence window.

    Oh, but it’s all over, we’re going to collapse, call it in, start a Civil War, we’re run by fascists, I guess the only thing is to go die in the way we think best…Sez EUROPE.

    ….And the entire Left, Reddit, Substack, Facebook…you know, the munching morons who know nothing and have never read a book.

    Giving up: that’s the only way you win! Always always surrender.

    “The DOGE subcommittee just discovered $2.7 TRILLION in improper payments in Medicare and Medicaid overseas, to people who should not have gotten it.”

    Yes, EUROPE. That’s how they’re running the EuroDollar system on us, using our own money to attack us.

    “she literally pulls out the pieces of paper and rattles off each one.”

    They did this only yesterday, Elon named some high-level fraud and 100% of pundits said “Where’s the proof???” Are you high? This happened only AN HOUR AGO. You think we registered it at the courthouse n stuff yet Mr. Newsman? THE GUY READING THE LEDGER SAID IT’S THERE. “I saw the car crash.” That’s usually what we call “Proof”.

    Okay, you know what, FINE. She LITERALLY said this yesterday, “DOGE is out ALL DAY on X posting things they find. Transparency. You want that Elon should walk into the presser with 30,000 pages of docs?” Apparently yes, so 24 hours later, she printed up the docs. Happy?

    “Does Elon Musk have powers of the presidency?”

    …For anyone who thought the media weren’t retards that need to be strapped to their chairs with a helmet. “Ms. Levitt, Ms. Levitt, is it true Elon is an alien creature from Krypton called Superman?” No. No little Jimmy, that’s called “A fantasy.” You’re delusional. Reality is over here now.

    Just a reminder, for the OTHER “We just make s—t up, minute by minute, whatever comes into our heads”, DOGE is a repurposed Department. That is, it has standing and funding in Congress. …Not that it should matter, but it’s an additional layer of this thing called “Reality” that doesn’t seem to interact with anyone anymore.

    “Elon Musk is a PRIVATE CITIZEN!!!! Muh stealin’ me records!!!!

    …WHO IS ALSO THE PRESIDENT!!!!!! With the Nuclear codes!!!!!

    For the love of Jesus, get off the floor, stop drooling and get a grip. At the very least just pick ONE reality to be afraid of. How about: he either IS or IS NOT a government employee. Pick one.

    “This disgusting threat was made against @elonmusk for helping President Trump”

    Actually, they’re attacking his children. Because…children. Of disabled African-Americans. Who? Loonies on Bluesky? Well, yes, they’re calling 30% for mass murder including all kids, but here I mean Jimmy Kimmel, the View…attacking Elon’s children in public, on TV. Stay Classy!

    “The long-anticipated phone call between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump has finally taken place,”

    Remember how they impeached for talking to Putin for even 60 seconds? Subpoena’d the translator, news for a month? Huh, whatever happened to that? MI6 was afraid Trump could tell Putin: “Talk to guy X you’ve never heard of and create a back-channel coordination with Team White Hat.” That’s it. Once said, a single breath of air, MI6/CIA is blind. Too bad so sad. You see they are NOT worried about that anymore right now. Almost no one is disobeying. Trump is daily in the worst security environments, the SuperbOwl, just gonna a’fly to Moscow unescorted, whatevah! Not a suicide shooter in sight. Huh. Dat ODDDDD. I guess new physics where bullets don’t go boom anymore.

    “The long-anticipated phone call between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump has finally taken place,”

    But apparently they can’t afford an assassination team, even? Not even one “Day of the Jackal”? Not a single one of the hundred billionaires on earth?

    “• RFK Jr. Confirmed As Trump’s Health Secretary (RT)

    Nor this guy either? With a TRILLLLLLLLION dollars at stake? Dat oddd.

    “MSNBC: “Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is not a trained health expert, is going to be ahead of these 13 health agencies in a truly remarkable fashion.”

    Never mention he’s spent his life suing them and winning on the evidence. Soooo…he’s got something on them, I guess.

    Why on earth would Trump and Putin want the likes of von der Leyen or Macron at the table? They would just be in the way.”

    Actually, everyone is doing this all the time now. Like China made her walk out on the tarmac, register as a random tourist, and take a taxi. Why? Everyone is just saying “The EU doesn’t exist.” Officially, legally, so therefore they only deal with Nation States, which DO legally exist. Ouch.

    “Hillary Clinton, former US secretary of state and presidential candidate, notably popularized the tactic of blaming Russia following her loss to Donald Trump in the 2016 US presidential election”

    As Trump wins, the Left is pulling up the “Stolen election” thing now. Elon stole it, remember? Why? Because they WANT that, like they want a pony and an oompa-loompa, so it becomes reality then. Oddly, although expanding, it doesn’t seem to be spreading, and would lead immediately to question of why Kamala didn’t…um, do…anything? Contest it? MENTION it?

    …Speaking of: Kamala who? No, literally who, her name is never mentioned ever. I see posts of “If only Kamala had been elected” …and then the DUMBEST S—T you’ve ever G-dd—-d seen, like “We wouldnt’ have Gaza”.

    I’m like, SHE’S STILL ALIVE YOU KNOW. Life is like a movie now? When you shut off the VCR Mr. Darcy goes away, Poof! Vanishes. It’s magic! Little Jimmy, when we put on “Blue’s Clues” Blue is alive again!

    IF KAMALA WANTED TO DO ANYTHING – EVER – SHE WOULD BE DOING IT. She’s alive, mobile, really wealthy, extremely well-known and could be influential person. SHE DOES NOT CARE. Not now, never has, DOES NOT CARE about anything. Any issues, any Trump, any Coup, any immigrant, any trans, NOTHING.

    They just say it. It came in their head like a 3 year old saying cute stuff.

    If the Conservatives are the “Male” party and the Liberals are the “Woman” party, what does that say about their relative abilities? Not. Good. For the love of God. They’re crashing their copter into a jumbo jet in broad daylight because they can’t follow simple tower instructions a 12-year old could.

    ““Even Ronald Reagan, the great apostle of smaller government, couldn’t achieve in eight years what Mr. Musk has done in 3 1/2 weeks.”

    Hilarious because as I say, Reagan was the apostle of larger government.

    Recommend you don’t watch this, but the entire City of Wooster MA, is completely blithering lunatics, fit to be institutionalized. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OovFWtnoEWk This is Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse than any courtroom scene in Idiocracy. As Tim says, “They’re trying to save their lives.” From what?? “Because the Federal Government won’t” Huh? The Federal Government never did, that’s not their jurisdiction. Because they’re being hunted and killed like rats, which is why they took 3 hours to dress up in trans/drag and go to a public meeting on camera and complain about cab fare. …That’s what people who are hunted do. I mean, look at “Defiance” Daniel Craig, 2008. Obviously people starving and being hunted….um, get no guns, store no food, go out in public, make a big stink.

    Please, PLEASE for the love of a Holy God air-drop these people into Kursk.

    But honestly, I don’t think reality actually CAN re-enter them, ever. Not even in death. I fear there are now no events, actions, life experiences that could ever make them sane again. Meanwhile, 4 streets over in the S—thole called Massachusetts, one of the roughest places you can go, in Holyoke, real people are ACTUALLY hustling, responding, trying to ACTUALLY not be killed hourly, by g-d d—-d EVERYTHING. Costs, jobs, traffic, guns, drugs, immigrants. Like Sadr Iraq.

    CIA – Ukraine:

    It is interesting watching the contrast in political statements about Ukr coming from Trump & company verses what the CIA’s controlled Ukrainian, EU, and Nato politicians are currently saying!

    Trump is saying peace.
    CIA is saying more war!

    Yesterday, Trump signed an executive order saying any CIA employee not fully carrying out the president’s orders will be dismissed!

    In order for there to be peace in the Ukraine, Trump has to deal with all of the deep state traitors in the US first!

    So, grab some pop corn, and watch deep state heads roll!

    • Trump Freezes All National Endowment for Democracy Funding (RT)

    US President Donald Trump’s administration has frozen all funding to the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), several media outlets reported on Wednesday.
    The move is said to have caused a “bloodbath” within the organization, leaving it unable to pay staff or fulfill financial commitments.
    The NED, established in 1983, is officially a nonprofit organization that provides grants to support democratic initiatives worldwide.
    However, over the years, it has faced allegations of covertly influencing political outcomes, with critics arguing that it has taken over covert functions previously handled by the CIA, particularly those aimed at overthrowing foreign governments.

    Home


    The Center for Renewing America, a think tank founded by Russell Vought, Trump’s director of the Office of Management and Budget, released a policy paper on February 7,

    accusing the NED of acting as the “tip of the proverbial spear for heightened CIA and State Department efforts to foster political revolution in Ukraine.”

    Homepage


    (The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) is a private, nonprofit foundation dedicated to the growth and strengthening of democratic institutions around the world. Each year, NED makes more than 2,000 grants to support the projects of non-governmental groups abroad who are working for democratic goals in more than 100 countries.)

    The report claimed that the NED had funneled tens of millions of dollars to a myriad of Ukrainian political entities and anti-Russian interests and “advanced both the ‘Orange Revolution’ and ‘Maidan Revolution’ that paved the way for the current Ukraine-Russia war.”

    From kultsommer lauding the USSR yesterday

    — Today’s comfort Russia’s citizens can thank and is carry-on from the “social nest as a way of life” of a previous system.

    ah yes. Full socialism that ended in 1990 is what Russians in 2025 can thank for current well-being.

    Kind of like, a child or wife who escapes an abusive step-father or ex-husband, who grows up to be successful, have a loving family of their own, and visits their abuser for the first time in 35 years on their deathbed, hears them croak out….

    Your success is because of me. Anything you did was a result of MY influence.

    Right? If you visit the museum in Berlin showing people trying to escape through security guards, tall brick walls, barbed wire, minefields, and machine guns, you can see all the different cool ways people outwitted the Soviet authorities.

    “It was my abuse, it was the way I terrorized you that inspired you to think of such delightful, inventive ways of escaping me!”

    In the “logic” of the twisted abuser, time does not exist. To be miserable and dreaming of escape, then escape, then find relief = “your relief and everything else depended on me, even if you cut all contact with me 35 years ago”

    Weird how everywhere, every country, there’s this same pattern of reason for “gratitude” to communism on a decades-long delay after getting rid of it. It only helps after an absence of 35 years. one weird trick.

    Project UKR is being abandoned by the US, and ‘supposedly’ turned over to the Europeans.

    (Who won’t do anything much except whine, how that all turns out, other topic.)

    Russia! bis, bis! emanated from Great Britain, obsessed since at least 200 years about the Russkies, and was taken up by the US Democrats, e.g. Trump elected first time round by Russian interference, or some other such fantastic nonsense.

    The Christopher Steele Dossier, other info supporting same, was all made up out of whole cloth, by Brits essentially, then embraced by the Dems, or maybe paid for from the start, Idk.

    At the beginning of Trump’s first term it was clear that his strategy was to make ‘deals’ with / accept as a ‘partner’ -> Russia. To split it away from China, integrate it into the EU, the Atlantic ‘sphere.’

    Updated 2025 version. UKR will not be allowed to join NATO, will not be able to conserve its 2014 borders (Hegseth speech), must give up territory, and “pay back” the HUUGE investments the US put in via furnishing ‘rare earths’ to the US. (Trump decl., rather fanciful) Russia is rehabilitated, a rump Ukr can well who knows ***.

    I wonder if Israel is waking up to the horrifying corner they have just gotten themselves into?

    It all comes back to a few of those most basic of all basic human rights that I spoke of yesterday.

    If Israel takes away the Palestinians basic human rights of being allowed to exist, communicate and defend themselves AT ALL, then Israel officially denies that those rights exist as inalienable basic human rights that NO ONE can take away. Pretty simple.

    But if those rights are NOT really basic and inalienable (by anybody), then Israel can no longer claim right to them either. In other words, if Iran, China or Russia were to just come in and TAKE Israel (the way Syria just got taken without permission) then nobody can get up a high horse and claim that it just ain’t RIGHT to take away peoples’ rights like that. Why? Because Israel has just acted out their unshakable belief that those things are NOT basic human rights. They’re saying that there are no such things as inalienable human rights..

    Can’t have it both ways.

    So if someone decides to just take whatever they want (like Israel or Palestine, for example), without so much as a “by your leave”, then the victim has no right to call it a wrong or even complain. Dog eat dog, and stop the whining.

    That is the corner that Israel is in, and they painted themselves into it all by their lonesome.

    “It is in reference to this experience that I say that socialism was the greatest mistake of the last two centuries, and if over the next few decades we do not survive the ravages of capitalism, the dead end of socialism will bear much of the blame…

    All of their hypotheses about causation and order—where these oppressions come from, how they will change, how to change them—are worse than trash. They are either phrased in a way that is pseudo-scientific and untestable, which helps explain why Marxism has held increasing appeal among leftwing cults the more Marxist experiments proved to be real life failures (cults thrive on pseudo-sciences). Or, their affirmations about the future of capitalism and how to change it that were phrased in a falsifiable, testable way have all proven dreadfully wrong. Exactly as their anarchist contemporaries predicted.

    …Every single state created after a revolution by a socialist or communist Party has resulted in a continuation of capitalism….Lenin himself admitted that what they had created was a form of state capitalism.

    …Socialist governments are also imperialist. The USSR deployed a geopolitics that in many ways was a continuation of Russian imperialism.”

    He then procedes to list the times Socialists pointedly undermined all revolution, and handed power to Capital, or even war, Right, and Nazis. …This is apparently from an armed Communist himself.

    His first foreign visit was to PARIS at an AI summit.

    Watch the first part, below, his 4 points. Very domineering.

    The US will be the BIG BOSS. The US will not accept any ‘briding’ of US cos. We will collaborate with (implied…) those who accept our supremacy…He was very agressive, forceful, overall (imho), interesting, as it is about AI, and not, say, about Movie Copyrights, Women’s Rights, or whatever.

    So, when Macron says only the Ukraine can negotiate with Russia, what he is really saying is only the CIA can negotiate with Russia!
    To underscore this message, the Ukraine (CIA) put a hole in a Russian nuclear power plant to tell the Russians that the CIA is still running things, not Trump!

    Scandalous Speech https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/scandalous-speech

    Russia and US to hold ‘high-level’ meeting in Munich – Trump​ Ukrainian representatives are “also invited,” the US leader added
    ​ The Munich Security Conference is taking place from February 14 to 16 in Munich, Germany. US Vice President J.D. Vance will lead the American delegation, and is expected to meet with Vladimir Zelensky. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the conference is an opportunity for American officials to “lay out a broad path forward” on Ukraine.
    ​ Meanwhile, US presidential envoy Keith Kellogg is reportedly expected to make it clear that the US has no intention of deploying troops to protect Ukraine and wants Washington’s European NATO allies to increase their defense spending.
    ​ Russian officials have not attended the Munich Conference since 2022, and Moscow has yet to confirm its participation this year or announce the composition of its delegation.​ https://swentr.site/news/612680-russia-us-munich-trump/

    ​Alex Krainer has been on this for a long time, but his book got banned. Why US-Russia relations matter more than anyone knew?
    Hegel prophesized, that, America is the land where, in the ages that lie before us, “the burden of the World’s history shall reveal itself.” Those ages have begun.
    ​ President Trump posted a statement on his TruthSocial platform that he had a “lengthy and productive phone call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia.” Among other things, Trump stated that he and Putin, “each talked about the strengths of our respective Nations, and the great benefit that we will someday have in working together.”​…
    ..Other commenters said that the US is dominated by the banking cartel of the Wall Street – City of London axis of evil, that these bankers hate Russia and will not allow friendly relations between the two powers to hold. Now we’re getting closer to “Mordor.” The role of the banking cartel has been critical in defining the US-Russia relations, reminding us once more of Lord Acton’s statement that, “The issue that has swept down the centuries and which will have to be fought sooner or later is the people versus the banks.”​…
    ..Trusting in the commonality of Russian and American interests, Putin has indeed maintained this attitude even in the face of disapproval on the part of many Russians. One Russian diplomat told Lev Alburt that, “In our government, there is only one man who still believes that Russo-American partnership is possible, and worth aiming for. Because that man is Vladimir Putin the rest of us follow.”
    ​ One possible reason why Vladimir Putin might believe in the commonality of U.S. and Russian interest is because he understood that the enemy that has had Russia in its crosshairs for over two centuries now, is the same system, or structure of power that has taken the American people and their government captive, squandering America’s wealth and destroying her prosperity in their drive to build a global empire. This enemy is the global financial oligarchy that has been able to impose control over most nations of the world through their system of money and credit and their central banking franchise.​..
    ..This very same financial oligarchy that took control of the Bank of England and set up the Federal Reserve System in the U.S., has today spawned a global central banking franchise that controls most of the world’s central banks. The ultimate owners of this system belong to the same dynastic oligarchy that has over the centuries supported multiple attacks on Russia, from Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815), Crimean War (1853-1856), the Bolshevik Coup (1917), Hitler’s 1941 invasion, as well as the 1990s raid conducted under the guise of Shock Therapy transition…
    ..Perhaps he has resolved instead to build bridges of understanding and cooperation with Russia’s American friends and work together to rid both nations, and perhaps all of humanity, of the money changers for good. If this truly is Mr. Putin’s game plan, and if he finds in the United States true partners and allies in this struggle, we may be so fortunate to witness a new U.S.-Russian alliance.​ https://alexkrainer.substack.com/p/why-us-russia-relations-matter-more

    ​Gilbert Doctorow, J.D. Vance speech to the Munich Security Conference
    ​ I urge you to watch Vice President Vance’s speech to the plenary session of the Munich Security Conference earlier today. It was surely the most important speech given at this venue since Vladimir Putin delivered his lengthy criticism of United States hegemonic behavior and the monopolar world in 2007…
    ..Vance opened by saying that the biggest threat to Europe comes not from Russia or China or other external threats. It comes from within by the antidemocratic instincts and behavior of those in power, who trample free speech in the name of fighting ‘disinformation’ and show no respect for political opposition. His first point of reference was the scandalous overturning of the election results in Romania when the candidate who favors normalization of relations with Russia was said to have received illicit support from Moscow. Vance was directly criticizing the authorities in Romania who refused to accept the verdict of the people when it went against them, and also the authorities in Brussels and elsewhere in the EU who encouraged this anti-democratic behavior…
    ​..Vance’s point is that the military defense of Europe is pointless if the leadership in Europe does not respect the values of democracy and free speech, if it does not accept the validity of those voters who happen to have different interests from the ruling parties.​..
    ..In Germany the censorious behavior is seen in the ‘firewall’ of the centrist parties against the supposedly ‘extreme right’ Alternative for Germany party.​.. Germany can put up with Elon Musk campaigning in favor of the AfD for a month or two. If their democracy is so fragile that it cannot stand up to dissonant voices, then there is in effect no democracy to speak of, and nothing to defend by military forces.
    ​ Vance’s speech was brilliant, very well composed and delivered. The man has to be the very best Vice President of the United States since the days of the Founding Fathers.​.. It was remarkable to be treated to such brave words from a top American official in defense of the people against the authoritarian rulers in Brussels, in Berlin, in Paris.​ It is hard to see how the usurper Ursula van der Leyen and her whole team of people-haters will be able to hold onto power in these conditions.​ https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/02/14/j-d-vance-speech-to-the-munich-security-conference/

    ​ Putin-Trump summit on the way – Kremlin​. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov has welcomed the US administration’s desire to reach peace in Ukraine
    ​ It is hard to overestimate the significance of the recent phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said. He also noted that the presidents have instructed their teams to lay the groundwork for the summit.
    ​ The call on Wednesday marked the first known conversation between the US and Russian leaders since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in February 2022. Trump has since signaled that he is “okay” with keeping Ukraine out of NATO and suggested that it is “unlikely” that Kiev could regain all of the territory it has lost to Russia over the past decade. Trump also noted that the presidents had exchanged invitations to visit each other’s countries…
    ..At the same time, Peskov would not confirm or deny Trump’s remarks that Saudi Arabia would host a summit between the two leaders. He also did not provide any timeline for a potential Trump-Putin meeting, or when Russian and American work groups could get down to negotiations.​ https://swentr.site/russia/612646-kremlin-prospects-trump-putin/

    US President Donald Trump will see his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Saudi Arabia for their first meeting since taking office in January.
    ​ Trump’s announcement came after an almost 90-minute phone conversation with the Russian leader, where they discussed in ending the nearly three-year Moscow offensive in Ukraine.
    “We ultimately expect to meet. In fact, we expect that he’ll come here, and I’ll go there, and we’re gonna meet also probably in Saudi Arabia the first time, we’ll meet in Saudi Arabia, see if we can get something something done,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.​..
    ..A date for the meeting “hasn’t been set” but it will happen in the “not too distant future,” the US president said.
    He suggested the meeting would involve Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. “We know the crown prince, and I think it’d be a very good place to meet.”​ https://www.arabnews.com/node/2590037/world
