that’s why i laugh when they say “muslim drug gang”.

https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/us-news/pete-hegseth-wearing-russia-flag-tie-jd-vance-clarifies-amid-massive-outcry-101760801766568.htmlRed-Blue-White vs Red-White-Blue… Hegseth probably had no idea.
No Tomahawks. What a surprise, who could ever see that coming? Except everyone.
And dragged out another week, with hope so they didn’t nuke anybody and Russia took another dozen towns while JPM takes down London LBMA.
What next I wonder. We’ll need to come up with some new BS to string them along. Or the banking system will break. Which it has.
They’re like “The dollar will collapse!!!” No, it won’t. If it did, LeGarde would print infinity Euros, spend them, and keep it near $1.00. If you mean the OTHER way, then the USD$ ALREADY collapsed, from $1 to $112,000 in Bitcoin. From $250 to $4,000 against gold. From $5 to $50 against silver. Past tense. It’s late to buy if you didn’t notice.
So in that sense, “The Banking system did collapse”. House, CRE, even stocks outside the top 7, the entire Russell, all “collapsed” against money. Past tense. They have now dropped 90% against it. Past Tense.
So this radio commentator is all sooper-surprised and wants us to take over the country and defeat foreign influence by having no money and making no compromises. Welp! I guess we know why you all COMPLETELY TOTALLY LOST for 62 years in a row now! And BECAUSE you lost, MILLIONS of Americans were killed. Because you couldn’t get your hands dirty and TAKE POWER so you could stop it.
Nope. You let Kaiser Soze stand unopposed, and do as he wished, so you could be the Oh-so-GOOD people, who never dun no wrong. In a WAR. Alright then, I’ve made my case. Think about it.
Their brilliant plan now is, He/We are taking on EVERY power in the world from the last 100 years – except Russia, and maybe them too – and you want to say “tis but a scratch” and take on MORE power blocks, by adding the Pentagon, AIPAC, and Pharma? Not sideways but directly? Or else you’ll bail, give up, and hand power back to them?
Well I am so, SO glad you are such a good GOOD person that another million Americans killed this year by ODs, by pharma, by bad health care, by suicide, war, cartels, crime, abortion, or whatever it might be, doesn’t bother you at all, being such a Very Good Person.™
Millions dead = Good, ackshully. As long as it’s ME who dies, and not some gun-toting Palestinian somewhere. Any American dead = Good ; all other people on earth = Bad. This is your version of Wokeness, so thanks for volunteering me and helping me into the ovens, pal. We won’t forget. We’ll always remember how you didn’t help and said we deserved it.
Orrrr…we could all just be adults for a second and do stuff. Only when you lift a finger, stop being a child, do you realize it’s more complicated than that.
It’s not me. It’s them.

Ted Cruz blames Nigeria for ‘mass murder’ of Christians: What’s the truth?
Nigeria is suffering complex security crises, but Republicans in US are eager to paint them as purely religious.

—————–Sneaking Out Of World War Three https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/sneaking-out-of-world-war-three
Putin and Trump have some plan to wind down the war in Ukraine, which they discussed in Alaska in August. European “leaders”, and presumably European banking, did not like it, and aggressively pushed things like NATO country “peacekeeping forces” in Ukraine.Russia wants NATO militaries farther away, not closer to Russia.
Trump said in September, about 3 weeks ago, that he “would know within a month if he could trust Putin”, and has been insulting him and disparaging Russia since then, finally looking like he would supply Ukraine with nuclear-capable tomahawk missiles and Americans to target and launch them, an overt act of war.
Ukraine, most EU heads of state, and Raytheon ate that up. Much was made of Trump’s turn away from peace towards WW-3, and also of Putin’s unwise tolerance of Trump’s crossing of Russia’s red-lines from just last year, with so little public reaction. “Tomahawk missiles would not change the realities on the battlefield”, as opposed to “nuclear capable Tomahawk missiles launched from Ukraine into Russia would be an act of war by the US”.
I have wondered if Trump and Putin had enough of a trusting relationship to be able to act in concert without having frequent communications, which would be very hard to keep secret from intelligence agencies, bankers and other “interested parties”. Could Putin and Trump have agreed to drag things out,Trump pretending to finally agree with war-hawks up until this sudden shift of a 2 1/2 hour phone call with Putin, while Zelensky was in the air to Washington to be given Tomahawk missiles?
Tomahawk missiles would actually have to be treated as nuclear-capable when they entered Russian airspace, wouldn’t they? Russia has nuclear doctrines which cover that.
I have not seen this possibility presented, but it has been rolling around in my mind the whole time. Putin does know that the enemy of Russia is “western” finance, which really needs Russian assets to shore up its balance sheets, which are purportedly in the red, though we can’t look.
Europeans have been strung along with the belief that Trump would “give” Ukraine tomahawks and would launch some into Russia, which would at least ruin things between Trump and Putin, and could be made to spark war between them, the ideal outcome for European financiers and financially failing nations.
They have been preparing to enter war against Russia in 2028 or 2029, but if the war ends this winter, what can they do to control their citizens, without the Russian threat? They will be entering their financial collapse without an external enemy, so their citizens will focus on fixing the national political economies. They will be ejected as the first step. Banking and finance, such as BlackRock, will be audited in step-2. Losses will be tallied and distributed without special wartime emergency powers.
This would be a different “great reset” than the WEF has planned. We can hope for it, but maybe not bet on it.
So freezing the line of contact seems to be the plan. Zelensky has to accept it, and has openly done so with the usual proviso to freeze then talk.
Zelensky calls for ceasefire along current front lines
The Ukrainian leader has said he agrees with US President Donald Trump’s proposal for an immediate truce with RussiaAfter Zelensky meeting, https://www.rt.com/russia/626637-zelesnky-ceasefire-front-lines/Trump calls on Ukraine and Russia to ‘stop where they are’ and end the war https://www.arabnews.com/node/2619295/world
Russia has previously said they would freeze when they got all of Novorussia, and if Ukraine would retreat to what Russia claims, then that would work fine.
Who can negotiate lasting peace? Zelensky doesn’t want to, and can’t, unless he is re-elected. Any Ukrainian who officially gives up territory to Russia might die very quickly. Whoever is to sign that paper will need protection and probably a new home somewhere else.
Russia really wants an official treaty to end the war.
If the line of contact can be frozen before the end of the year, perhaps in November, as the killing-cold blows in, then it might become the new border. Ukrainians will have to stop fighting, no matter how much they are goaded by European powers, who really can’t supply then with arms, absent US supplies, which are already drawn down.
Would Russia settle for an incomplete meeting of their goals, absent civil rights for Russian speakers in Ukraine, de-militarization and de-nazification?
I’m not saying that they would settle for modified goals, but a negotiated treate would take WW-3 off the table for European elites and financiers, leaving them to face the consequences of their many bad financial bets with the resources of Europe.
I think Russia will demand a negotiated end to the war by treaty. I think they will be willing to sweeten the deal and soften this winter as much as they can for Ukrainians. Who will sign the treaty, the speaker of the Rada, who is constitutionally next, after the now non-existent president?Andrew Korybko lays out the history of this war to date, and considerations for ending it in Budapest, though he reasons from the position of nation-states being the deciding entities, rather than financial elites.

Simplicius sees it as all circus, and that Putin cannot budge from strategic objectives: Zelensky Gets the Fig Amid Trump Admin’s Whacky Day
Again what we see is Trump having likely euchred the world in gaining another extension on his perpetual ‘two-more-weeks’ sham of kicking the ceasefire can down the road. The Tomahoax served as lure to drive another PR moment to re-energize “talks” in order to continue the hoodwink that the peace process is again reaching some turning point or culmination.
In reality, no such thing is happening, as the US has proven entirely incapable of so much as even passingly acknowledging Russian security interests necessary for the war’s conclusion. So, what can the newly-proposed Budapest talks possibly achieve? …
..Now, just as in the Alaska meeting ‘coverup’, sources indicate yesterday’s Trump-Zelensky meeting was a total bust…
“One of the sources said the meeting ‘was not easy,’ while the other simply said ‘it was bad.’…
In reality, the sources said, Zelensky pushed hard on Tomahawks but Trump pushed back and showed no flexibility…
..As the political carousel whirls and whirls, the inexorable Russian military machine continues steamrolling ahead. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/zelensky-gets-the-fig-amid-trumpBig deals could be in the works: Head Of Russia’s Sovereign Wealth Fund Pitches “Putin-Trump” Undersea Tunnel Linking Russia-US https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/head-russias-sovereign-wealth-fund-pitches-putin-trump-undersea-tunnel-linking-russia

The New York Times reports Head of the U.S. Military’s Southern Command Is Stepping Down
The officer, Adm. Alvin Holsey, is leaving his job as head of the U.S. Southern Command, which oversees all operations in Central and South America, even as the Pentagon has rapidly built up some 10,000 forces in the region in what it says is a major counterdrug and counterterrorism mission.
It was unclear why Admiral Holsey is suddenly departing, less than a year into what is typically a three-year job, and in the midst of the biggest operation in his 37-year career. But one current and one former U.S. official, both of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss personnel matters, said that Admiral Holsey had raised concerns about the mission and the attacks on the alleged drug boats.
“Prior to Trump, I can’t think of a combatant commander who left his or her post early, ever,” said Representative Adam Smith of Washington, the senior Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/us-masses-10000-troops-near-venezuela-top-admiral-resignsHead of US command overseeing Trump ‘drug boat’ strikes steps down after expressing concern with the attacks: report

Bush-Clinton-CIA Cocaine Funded Iran-Contra: The Irony Of Trump’s New ‘War On Drugs’: Recalling The History Of CIA Narco Trafficking
For those who are aware of the CIA’s 20th century decades-long legacy in Latin America, the idea that the United States government and its intelligence agencies are fundamentally and on principle stand against drug trafficking is laughable.
There was a time, not too far back in history, where the CIA itself was the biggest narco-trafficker in United States and perhaps the entire Western hemisphere (if not the world). This was to fund regime change and covert operations in Latin America after a belated Congressional crackdown on taxpayer funding for black ops. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/irony-trumps-new-war-drugs-recalling-history-cia-narco-traffickingGently extending the new Chinese Empire: 12 Years Of Data Prove China’s Belt & Road Initiative Is A Debt Trap https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/12-years-data-prove-chinas-belt-road-initiative-debt-trap

Twenty-two of 23 products tested by CR had detectable amounts of lead, and more than two-thirds had unsafe levels of lead, according to the organization. https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/tests-find-high-levels-lead-protein-powders-shakes-consumer-reportsProtein Powders and Shakes Contain High Amounts of Lead, New Report Says – A Pharmacologist Explains the Data By C. Michael White, Distinguished Professor of Pharmacy Practice, University of Connecticut. Originally published at The Conversation
The new study assessed 23 powder and ready-to-drink protein products from popular brands by sending three samples of each product to an independent commercial laboratory.
Consumer Reports considered anything over 0.5 micrograms per day from any single source to be above recommended maximum lead levels. That number comes from the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, which established recommended maximum levels for a variety of substances that could cause cancer or fetal harm.
It is significantly more conservative than the safety standard for lead exposure used by the FDA for drugs and supplements. The discrepancy is driven by Consumer Reports’ aspirational goals of very low exposure versus the more realistic but actionable requirements from the FDA.
According to the FDA, the limit for the amount of lead that a person should consume from any single dietary supplement product is 5 micrograms per day. That number is 10 times higher than the Consumer Report limit…
..Four of the 23 products exceeded 2.2 micrograms, the FDA’s cutoff for the total daily amount of lead children should consume. Two products contained 72% and 88%, respectively, of the total daily amount of lead that the FDA deems safe for pregnant women.
In addition, Consumer Reports found that two of the 23 products delivered more than what it considers a safe amount of cadmium per serving, and one had more arsenic than was recommended.
The organization’s safety cutoff for cadmium is 4.1 micrograms per day, and for arsenic it is 7 micrograms per day. These numbers align fairly closely with the FDA’s recommended exposure limit for cadmium and arsenic from a single product. For cadmium, the FDA’s limit is set at 5 micrograms per day for a given dietary supplement product and 15 micrograms per day for arsenic.
The study found that the source of protein was key: Plant-derived protein products had nine times the lead found in dairy proteins like whey, and twice as much as beef-based protein. https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2025/10/protein-powders-and-shakes-contain-high-amounts-of-lead-new-report-says-a-pharmacologist-explains-the-data.htmlThis is a more accurate methodology.

As soon as they stop invading and meatsuiting everything, as soon as they depart, they won’t be an issue. As soon as they pledge not to use coercion and lies, but instead use good faith and honesty, as soon as they pledge to submit their views openly for review to honestly CONVINCE people, in other words, as soon as they give up on full spectrum war by any means, lay down their weapons, and rejoin civil society, there won’t be this current left/right thing you “don’t understand”
Leftists always know what to not understand and what to not remember.
Current year, practically 90% of arguing with a leftist consists of the Leftist pretending to not understand things and not remember things.
Repeating, to emphasize the hidden truth.
Putin does know that the enemy of Russia is “western” finance, which really needs Russian assets to shore up its balance sheets, which are purportedly in the red, though we can’t look.

Your post #197620 (above) is the most accurately succinct explanation I have ever read of the financially situational quicksand that the West (the West especially, but not alone) is currently sinking into. The only words I would revise in your statement is the phrase “enemy of Russia”, to more accurately read, “…enemy of Russia and everyone else who believe themselves to have the right to survive and lead a reasonably good and successful life.
Re Kimo
I agree. The site appears fully functional. Problematic WordPress sites don’t typically have comments working this well. Except for one thing — the comment html tag buttons are missing today. Something *is* up. It is possible that the RIM’s news each day is using a specific plugin that is malfunctioning. And it is very likely that RIM is doing poorly.
Regarding reforming TAE elsewhere — this could be done. One very important aspect is that we have uncensored and unproctored comments. Yes, sometimes there is rudeness, mocking, trolling, name-calling, over-sharing, etc. — but in a world of AI and propaganda, TAE is deliciously <i>real<i\>. (Let’s see if manually placed HTML tags still work.)
