Interested Parties,
8 hours of work, in the form of a completed blog post draft, was discarded by gmail. This keeps "happening". I have started over..
Napolitano:
President Putin has indicated a desire to speak with President-elect Trump after he’s inaugurated, and Donald Trump has indicated a reciprocal desire. What do you think Putin wants from Trump? What will he ask for? What will his goal be in whatever conversations they have?
Doctorow:
The Russian goal is to put the discussion of a peace in Ukraine in the broader context of a revised security architecture for Europe. And that can only be discussed between Putin and Trump. They do not have an interest in Moscow in talking to the European Union or NATO member states in Europe, because they consider them all to be the proxies for the United States. They consider them all to be taking direction from the United States.
So they want to go to the source, which is not surprising. If you were a student of the Soviet Union as I was, you know that the Russians never had much interest in dealing with individual West European countries... I think that Mr. Putin wants to discuss with Donald Trump how, what NATO will look like going forward, how all sides, European and Russian, can find security if the role of NATO is redefined or if it’s dissolved. This will be the subject. And here, when you speak about dissolution or downscaling NATO, I think Mr. Trump is the right person... They’re not put off by these various proposals that have been produced by Kellogg and have gone to the press. They understand that this is not coming from number one, it’s coming from his advisors, and that in fact Mr. Trump takes counsel of himself, or perhaps with Elon Musk...

..Napolitano:
So how does the war end, Professor?
Doctorow:
With the collapse of the Ukrainian army. I think that once the army goes, then the political establishment around Mr. Zelensky will crumble, and they’ll all be looking for their first plane out. They are there because the army has resisted and resisted valiantly...

What happens if Donald Trump closes the spigot of military supplies and ammunition and cash on January 21st?
Doctorow:
I think the capitulation of the Ukrainian army would follow in a few weeks. The Europeans are in no position to provide the artillery shells, the new artillery pieces, the rapid-fire missile launchers, like HIMARS, they don’t have that. So the ability of the Ukrainian army to defend itself would be reduced to nil in a very few weeks. And the ultimate result would be capitulation...
..Napolitano:
What are the consequences to consumers and industries in Europe, to Zelensky’s decision to close down that pipeline, literally in the past 48 hours?
Doctorow:
Well, the most vulnerable country is Slovakia, and That’s why Fico made this unexpected visit to Moscow– this is what, comes back a week– to discuss with Vladimir Putin what his alternative sources of gas may be and what action he could take or Russia would take to ensure that he gets gas. There are three countries in Central Europe that are affected by this. There’s Austria, Hungary, and Slovakia. Slovakia is the most exposed.
Austria has found alternative sources, mostly coming, this is LNG gas, that is sent on through the European-wide gas pipelines to Austria. Some of the same solution has been found by Mr. Orban, though he seems to be receiving substantial deliveries of Russian gas through the Turkish pipelines. I don’t know whether that can be extended to Slovakia to help Mr. Fico out of his problem...

I don’t mean this to sound in a snarky way, but has the Nord Stream pipeline been repaired?
Doctorow:
I’ve seen various accounts that– they are not substantiated, and I can’t say that they are reliable– that the Russians have linked up the Nord Stream pipeline with Kaliningrad. So they would get some benefit from their own gas. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/01/02/transcript-of-judging-freedom-edition-of-2-january/
Andrew Korybko, Creative Energy Diplomacy Can Lay The Basis For A Grand Russian-American Deal
For as politically difficult as these compromises might be for each side, the US could spin them as having stopped Russia from controlling all of Ukraine and thus preventing it from planting its boots on the Polish border, while Russia could spin them as having stopped Ukraine from joining NATO and thus preventing that bloc from planting their boots on its exposed western border. Moreover, Russia would relieve pressure upon it in Europe, while the US Navy would control the bulk of China’s energy imports. https://korybko.substack.com/p/creative-energy-diplomacy-can-lay

His uncle Dean Livelsberger told The Independent that his nephew was ‘100 percent a patriot’, and described him as a ‘Rambo-type.’ https://endtimeheadlines.org/2025/01/cyber-truck-bomber-matthew-livelsbergers-leaves-family-stunned-claims-he-loved-trump-and-the-army/
The details surrounding Cybertruck bomber Matthew Livelsberger continue to drip - with two 'manifesto' letters found in the Cybertruck itself, and another 'manifesto' he allegedly emailed to retired intelligence officer Sam Shoemate.
In the letters found in the Cybertruck, Livelsberger described the USA as "terminally ill," and said his actions were meant as a "wake-up call," and not a terrorist attack...
..You can read the entire email below: In the letters found in the Cybertruck, Livelsberger described the USA as "terminally ill," and said his actions were meant as a "wake-up call," and not a terrorist attack...
"In case I do not make it to my decision point or on to the Mexico border I am sending this now. Please do not release this until 1JAN and keep my identity private until then.
First off I am not under duress or hostile influence or control. My first car was a 2006 Black Ford Mustang V6 for verification.
What we have been seeing with “drones” is the operational use of gravitic propulsion systems powered aircraft by most recently China in the east coast, but throughout history, the US. Only we and China have this capability. Our OPEN location for this activity in the box is below.
China has been launching them from the Atlantic from submarines for years, but this activity recently has picked up. As of now, it is just a show of force and they are using it similar to how they used the balloon for sigint and isr, which are also part of the integrated comms system. There are dozens of those balloons in the air at any given time.
The so what is because of the speed and stealth of these unmanned AC, they are the most dangerous threat to national security that has ever existed. They basically have an unlimited payload capacity and can park it over the WH if they wanted. It’s checkmate.
US needs to give the history of this, how we are employing it and weaponizing it, how China is employing them and what the way forward is. China is poised to attack anywhere in the east coast
I’ve been followed for over a week now from likely homeland or FBI, and they are looking to move on me and are unlikely going to let me cross into Mexico, but won’t because they know i am armed and I have a massive VBIED.
I’ve been trying to maintain a very visible profile and have kept my phone and they are definitely digitally tracking me. I have knowledge of this program and also war crimes that were covered up during airstrikes in Nimruz province Afghanistan in 2019 by the admin, DoD, DEA and CIA.
I conducted targeting for these strikes of over 125 buildings (65 were struck because of CIVCAS) that killed hundreds of civilians in a single day. USFORA continued strikes after spotting civilians on initial ISR, it was supposed to take 6 minutes and scramble all aircraft in CENTCOM. The UN basically called these war crimes, but the administration made them disappear.
I was part of that cover-up with USFORA and Agent [redacted] of the DEA. So I don’t know if my abduction attempt is related to either. I worked with GEN Millers 10 staff on this as well as the response to Bala Murghab. AOB-S Commander at the time [redacted] can validate this.
You need to elevate this to the media so we avoid a world war because this is a mutually assured destruction situation. For vetting my Linkedin is Matt Berg or Matthew Livelsberger, an active duty 18Z out of 1-10 my profile is public. I have an active TSSCI with UAP USAP access." https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/elon-musk-dismisses-cybertruck-bomber-fsd-theory-autopilot-requires-attentive-driver
Larry Johnson, Las Vegas Bomber Story Takes An Alarming Turn
The alleged driver of the Tesla cybertruck that exploded in front of the Trump building in Las Vegas is Matt Livelsberger aka Matt Berg. The “facts” the FBI is telling the public do not add up. Livelsberger was an active duty US Army Green Beret.....I saw Sam Shoemate’s interview with Shawn Ryan. The email from Livelsberger and Sam’s reporting suggest that something darker and more nefarious is afoot. Was Livelsberger murdered to silence him? Why? Because of information he had about Unidentified Aerial Phenomena aka UAPs. According to the email, Livelsberger claimed to hold a TSSCI clearance with “UAP USAP access.” USAP means, Unacknowledged Special Access Program. https://sonar21.com/las-vegas-bomber-story-takes-an-alarming-turn/
Matthew Livelsberger is a patsy, the question is for who and what purpose?
The first and most obvious reason is because the police have reported that he died from a GSW to his head 'prior' to the explosion, yet there were no reported gunshots in the 15-20 seconds before the Cybertruck exploded.
Needless to say, it is odd that one would shoot themselves in the head with a 50-caliber Desert Eagle right before blowing themselves up. It simply makes no sense...

..The third reason is that his Signal safety number changed just before the explosion, and then somehow his photo and safety number changed AFTER the explosion. Clearly this was manipulated by somebody other than him, as he was deceased and would not have been able to change anything. Find who changed his signal info and you find who shot him in the head. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1874932093081571618.html

The piece was written by British commentator Melanie Phillips and published on Tuesday with the headline “If you support the Palestinian cause in any form, you’re facilitating Jew-hate.” It was subsequently edited and the headline changed...
..She wrote: “Jew-hatred has not only been normalized. It’s been rebranded as social justice because support for Palestinianism, which seeks to write the Jews out of their country, their history and the world, is what now passes for a moral sense among swathes of the public, the entire intelligentsia and even — heaven help us — many Jews.”
Phillips continues: “Let’s not hear any protests that you were once a member of Habonim or have a holiday home in Herzliya … If you support the Palestinian Arab cause today, you are facilitating deranged and murderous Jew-hatred. Own it.” ...

Trump has expressed intentions to roll back many of Biden's climate initiatives to bolster energy production and stimulate economic growth. This regulatory push on water heaters is part of a series of actions targeting household appliances, including gas stoves and refrigerators, aimed at reducing carbon emissions and promoting electric alternatives.
Ben Lieberman, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, criticized the move, stating, "It bans an entire category of tankless water heaters and the ones that are most affordable. This is all part of the climate change agenda...an antipathy towards natural gas because they want to electrify everything." https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/biden-quietly-bans-most-gas-powered-tankless-water-heaters

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has called for opening up the UK North Sea to oil and gas and getting rid of windmills, in response to the recent announcement by Texas-based Apache that it would cease oil and gas production in the region due to the uneconomical windfall tax.

This stalwart Amish dairy farmer has gone through hell during attacks by state, and Federal government. Amish Farmer Celebrates "Big Win For Food Freedom"
Robert Barnes, an attorney for raw milk producer and Amish farmer Amos Miller, revealed on X late Friday night that the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania "affirmed the trial court decision allowing Amish farmer Amos Miller to continue to make his wonderful food available to customers outside the state."...
..Recall that the government raided Miller's farm in early 2024 for selling raw milk, organic eggs, grass-fed beef, and other nutritious foods to consumers, citing repeated failures to comply with overly burdensome federal farming regulations.
The USDA tried to bring Miller's farm into compliance with federal regulations, but the Amish farmer spent many months in court rather than obtaining a license to produce raw milk for sale.
Since last January's search warrant, the "Pennsylvania Dutch" community became outraged and mobilized in a rare vote in federal elections for Trump-Vance to stand up against rogue federal agencies captured by the processed foods industrial complex...
..Under the MAHA movement, led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nation's food supply chain must be restored into the hands of the people - not continued mega corporations poisoning consumers with seed oils and highly processed foods. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/amish-farmer-celebrates-big-win-today-food-freedom
