​  Thanks Dora: Transcript: Alex Jones on Globalist Death Cult Fueling the Next Civil War – Tucker Carlson Show​  
TUCKER CARLSON: What is the Podesta plan?
ALEX JONES: Well, when I talk about this, I get chills because in August of 2020, Breitbart wrote about it, the Daily Caller wrote about it, but the New York Times wrote about it first. And Podesta does this big Democrat Party war game.
TUCKER CARLSON: Which Podesta? John?
ALEX JONES: John Podesta, former White House. Yep. Absolutely. And then later, the climate czar for Biden... He comes out with this huge report. They published the whole thing, and I read it. It’s like 70 pages or something.
​  And they say if Trump wins in 2020 (this is in August, months before which they were able to steal it. So he didn’t.) 
He said, “We’re going to have western states secede. We’re going to have blue cities secede. But we’ll start with the western states, California, Oregon and Washington, and we’ll call it over migrants and sanctuary cities and healthcare at first,” which they’re now doing.
​  I’m getting chills because it’s all happening... I mean, it’s all right there. And they say if he wins, we will say it’s illegitimate. We will have blue states first secede and that they’re going to be sanctuary cities for the illegals.
​  Then when there’s civil unrest, which they’ll furnish, Trump will send the National Guard and then there’ll be a massacre of the migrants, and then we will kick off a civil war. Then all the blue cities across the country will secede. Then New York, Massachusetts and others will secede, and we’ll form what we call the Western Alliance.
​  And we will, then the US Military will be with us because they control the generals...That was Trump’s big mistake. He found out most of them are globalist. It’s the top, not your enlisted. They’re great people.
​  And that they would then form a military alliance if Trump didn’t stand down and they would march on D.C. And then they made a movie produced two years ago they released last year called “Civil War.” That is the last act of the Podesta plan. That’s in a two plus year Civil War race based...
..So the US Military reconvenes under a Gavin Newsom’s command type. And then they come in and then they take over the country and then they re-educate all the evil right wingers and evil white people.
​  And then I saw Gavin Newsom on Colbert about three weeks ago and he said, “Oh, we’re forming,” they hold a map up, “the Western Alliance and it’s for migrants and healthcare and we’re getting ready to go on offense.” ...
..We have countless videos at rallies in Austin and Denver and New York where the left goes, “Soon Trump and Homan will kill a bunch of us. And when they do, that’s when the uprising begins.” So they’re all read in on this. They all know it is the Podesta plan. They all know it’s the Western Alliance. They all know it’s the Western offense...
..But my point is now you have the No Kings this weekend. And we now have Schumer on Monday went on MSNBC and said, “We need to have a forceful uprising. We need to have a forceful uprising.”

​  John Helmer, WHAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THE TRUMP-MILLER WHITE HOUSE THAT PRIME MINISTER CARNEY IS MISJUDGING (NOT ONLY HIM)
  Manipulating the US president to make his domestic and foreign policy decisions as Stephen Miller of the White House is doing with President Donald Trump is not new.
​  Jimmy Carter tried to dismantle the bureaucracy and the mindset (ideology) of the “imperial presidency”, as he called the White House during the election campaign of 1976. But then Carter fell under the spell of National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski; he controlled what the president was told was the evidence for his policy choices, the risks, and the consequences. In this way, Brzezinski more than influenced the policy outcomes Carter believed he was deciding for himself.
​  (One of them was the secret US war with the Kremlin in Afghanistan.)
​  Carter required that his decision-making process start and end on paper; he read reams of it in the personal study off the Oval Office.  He demanded his intelligence briefing every morning. However, connected by an internal passage of connecting doors, Brzezinski supervised what was in the papers and vetted who walked in the outer Oval Office door to have words with the President.  
​  Trump prefers pictures, screens of them, and he gets one intelligence briefing per week, followed by interpretation over lunch in the private White House dining room from Vice President JD Vance.  Miller controls the paper, especially the virtual posts, the press gaggles on aircraft in flight and airfields at takeoff and landing, and in the Oval Office. Vance coaches Trump through his misspeaking, memory failures, political gaffes.
​  Listen now to the way in which the method and purpose of these new men differs from anything in the history of the American presidency; and how the leaders of the European allies, the UK, and Canada exploit what they believe they know in order to get the policy decisions they want from Trump — that is, after Miller, Vance and others have decided and Trump has been persuaded.​   https://johnhelmer.net/gorilla-radio-what-everyone-needs-to-know-about-the-trump-miller-white-house-that-prime-minister-carney-is-misjudging-not-only-him/#more-92572

​  Trump says he will meet Putin in Hungary for Ukraine talks after 'very productive' call
US President Donald Trump says "great progress" was made during a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday, with the pair agreeing to face-to-face talks in Hungary.
​  He said the call, the first with Putin since mid-August, was "very productive", adding that teams from Washington and Moscow will meet next week.​..
..Trump also said he would update Zelensky on his talks with Putin on Friday, adding: "I believe great progress was made with today's telephone conversation."
He later told reporters he expected to meet Putin "within two weeks".
​  Asked about the prospect of giving the missiles to Ukraine after his call with Putin, Trump said "we can't deplete" the US stockpile of Tomahawks, adding "we need them too... so I don't know what we can do about that".​

​  He might have been despondent... Bondi DOJ Backs Warrantless Invasion Of Gun Owners' Homes
​ The Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi is advancing an argument that threatens to hollow out the Fourth Amendment's core protection: that Americans may be secure in their homes against warrantless searches.
​  The lawsuit is Case v. Montana. After a difficult breakup, William Trevor Case was at home alone when police arrived for a so-called "welfare check." They spent nearly an hour outside his house. Officers walked around the property, shined flashlights through windows, and even discussed calling his relatives or reaching him directly. They never did. Instead, they retrieved rifles and a ballistic shield, broke down his door without a warrant, and shot him.
​  The Montana Supreme Court upheld the police's warrantless entry. Apparently, the government's "reasonable suspicion" that Treavor Case might need "help" was sufficient to justify an armed warrantless intrusion into his home. That standard is alarmingly low. The Fourth Amendment requires probable cause and judicial approval before government agents may enter a home. It does not permit entry based on a hunch.​

Andrew Korybko observes that Russia, China and India are not divided against each other now:  Trump 2.0’s Eurasian Balancing Act Has Failed   https://korybko.substack.com/p/trump-20s-eurasian-balancing-act

  Alex Krainer presents the conceptual key: The price of Venezuela's democracy
Those gunning for Venezuela are on Wall Street and in the City of London and the stakes are beyond huge. 
​  Yesterday, Venezuelan opposition leader and the newest nobel prize laureate, Maria Corina Machado gave a podcast interview to Donald Trump Jr., during which she gave an inspirational, moving speech about how much money the U.S. companies will make in Venezuela once she takes power: “Forget Saudi Arabia, I mean we have more oil than them, I mean endless possibilities. We will privatize our entire industry for you. American companies will profit greatly!” ...
..Of course, everyone understands that the real reason for the regime change is Venezuela’s oil wealth. But as we learned from the New York Times last week, President Maduro did reach out to the Trump administration, offering his country’s resources to the U.S. in order to avoid a military conflict...
..The answer from the Trump White House was, NO, confirmed with yesterday’s killing of another six very bad people on a Venezuelan boat...
..If Maduro was offering what the Trump administration wanted, and they could have had it without a fight, then why was that offer declined? In general, resources can always be obtained through trade. For the regional behemoth like the United States, they would always be able to negotiate guaranteed long-term contracts on very favorable terms, so Venezuela’s riches could flow to the U.S. markets even without Maria Corina Machado and still, the “American companies would profit greatly.”
  It’s all about bank collateral
  So then, how is Maduro a problem, and Machado the solution?
 As always, the key element in the geopolitical equation isn’t the resources as such, but resources as collateral. With political control over Caracas, Venezuelan resources would become the collateral of U.S. and other Western banks. Their clients - companies like BP, Shell, Exxon Mobil and even the Venezuelan state itself - would be able to obtain credit secured with Venezuelan oil, gold and other resources. In this way, Venezuela’s natural resource wealth magically turns into profit-generating assets on the balance sheets of banks like JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and others...
..To appreciate just how big an incentive this could be, back in April I wrote about the case of Alberta’s 175 billion barrels of proven oil reserves which, once they came under control of Rockefeller interests in New York in early 2000s, provided $9 trillion in new collateral (see the article and video linked below). The bulk of that collateral ended up fuelling the $5 trillion mortgage bubble which then burst in 2007/8.
​  After the bailout, the banks walked away with at least $16 trillion in profits, which works out to more than $42,000 per man woman and child living in the United States. That business model far eclipses oil trade, military industrial complex and all other industries. It truly is the business to kill for.​..
..It is obvious that with some 300 billion barrels of oil reserves, the collateral that Venezuela could provide would far eclipse that of Alberta.   https://alexkrainer.substack.com/p/the-price-of-venezuelas-democracy

​  Escape Key on smart-money, transaction-controlled by AI, From Rosalind to Mandala​ - How the BIS is Building a Planetary Control System
On paper, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) Innovation Hub is merely modernising the financial system. Its projects — Rosalind, mBridge, Mandala — are pitched as solutions for faster payments and smarter compliance.
​  Look closer, and a different picture emerges. These are not isolated proofs of concept; they are interlocking components of a planetary-scale adaptive management system, where money becomes a programmable control surface for policy enforcement.​   
https://escapekey.substack.com/p/from-rosalind-to-mandala

​  Escape Key, Internet algorithmic adaptive financial governancewas not foreseeable in the late 1700s. A Constitutional Void
In 2025, three US policy shifts quietly transformed government into an adaptive governance engine. When considered together, they assemble a compliant American node within an emerging, automatic planetary adaptive management system.
​  This is not a warning about what’s coming. It’s documentation of what already happened while no one was watching.​..
​..When the Council for Inclusive Capitalism​ explicitly advocates for financial systems that enforce social and environmental outcomes, and the BIS simultaneously builds the technical infrastructure to make transactions conditional on ESG compliance, we are observing not parallel evolution but coordinated implementation.
​  Project Gaia​ automates corporate climate disclosure verificationProject Symbiosis tracks supply-chain emissionsMandala embeds policy compliance — including presumably ESG criteria — directly into cross-border payment protocols. The ideological framework names the goal: align capitalism with stakeholder values rather than shareholder returns.
​  The technical architecture provides the enforcement mechanism: programmable money that only clears when algorithmic checks confirm compliance with those values. This is not reform or evolution — it is replacement of market coordination through price signals with algorithmic steering toward predetermined policy targets. Whether achieved through explicit conspiracy or through aligned institutional incentives among central banks, global governance bodies, and major financial institutions that share both ideology and technical capacity, the outcome is identical: economic participation becomes conditional upon compliance with machine-readable rules that encode ‘inclusive’ priorities directly into the unit of account itself.
​  The infrastructure does not enable this transformation — it is this transformation, dressed in the language of modernisation and efficiency.​

  "President" Larry Ellison, From AI to TikTok to TV, This Pro-Israel Billionaire Is Expanding Power in US
​  Ellison, the founder of the tech giant Oracle, is quickly emerging as the new face of oligarchic power in the U.S. Oracle has become an AI powerhouse at the same time Ellison and his son David have acquired Paramount and its vast media empire. With Donald Trump’s recent executive order, Ellison and Oracle will also now oversee TikTok’s algorithms, shaping a platform that reaches 150 million U.S. users.
​  What’s more alarming than Ellison’s sheer wealth — in September, he briefly surpassed Musk as the world’s richest person — is that he’s building his concentrated power and control in collaboration with the Trumpian project of attacking so-called “wokeness,” all while supercharging the corporate expansion of artificial intelligence and tech surveillance.
​  Moreover, Ellison is a vocal supporter of the Israeli military and a close confidant of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. As Israel looks to repair its image after two years of overseeing a genocide in Gaza, it’ll have a powerful booster in Ellison and his new media kingdom.​..
..Ellison has power. Notably, he’s forged a close relationship with Donald Trump, with one Trump adviser calling him a “shadow president of the United States.”​ ...
..This is seen starkly in Oracle’s stunning ascendency in the rush around generative AI. Oracle has rapidly secured nearly a half-trillion dollars in contracts to supply computing power through data centers to AI companies, joining the ranks of powerhouses like Microsoft and Amazon.
​  A huge swath of Oracle’s AI business comes from a $300 billion deal with OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT. Oracle’s partnership with OpenAI was supercharged by Trump’s announcement in January of the Stargate AI joint venture, which The New York Times called an “early trophy” for Trump.​..
..His family’s media company, Skydance, which is financially backed by Larry Ellison and run by his son David, struck a deal in 2024 to acquire Paramount, owner of CBS and a top-five movie studio along with a slew of popular cable channels...
​..Soon after, the Ellisons signaled their rightward swing with the $150-million hiring of Bari Weiss, founder of the anti-“woke” Free Press, as CBS News’s editor-in-chief, and their appointment of Kenneth Weinstein, former head of the conservative Hudson Institute think tank, as CBS’s new ombudsman, a position they agreed to fill as part of the merger’s approval.
​  The Ellisons’ quest for media dominance doesn’t end with Paramount. They’re reportedly eying Warner Brothers, the iconic movie studio and owner of CNN and HBO.​..
..Donald Trump attacked TikTok for years as part of his wider campaign against China, but the effort to ban the app gathered momentum in 2024.
​  As Israel carried out its genocide in Gaza, many politicians blamed the popular app, which has 150 million U.S. users who skew young, for spreading anti-Israel views because its algorithms showed the vast scale of Gaza’s destruction and the killing of Palestinians.​..
..But Larry Ellison is the true winner of Trump’s TikTok decree. In addition to a “rumored” 15 percent stake in the app, Oracle will serve as the “security provider” overseeing TikTok’s algorithms in the U.S.Trump joked that he’d like to make TikTok’s algorithm “100% MAGA” when he signed the new executive order in September.
  For Ellison, all his new acquisitions present the opportunity to forge a truly novel corporate mega-empire that will dominate the U.S. media and attention economy, injecting his agenda like a thread across an AI-powered chain of news outlets, streaming sites, film studios, and social media outlets.​..
..All of this is very good for Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel’s vast influence operation.
​  Ellison is a staunch backer of Israel. He is one of the top donors to the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF), a U.S. nonprofit that effectively subsidizes the Israeli military. Ellison has given the FIDF at least $26.6 million.
​  “I feel a deep emotional connection to the State of Israel and the Israeli people,” Ellison said at the 2014 FIDF gala. “We love the country of Israel and we’ll do everything we can to support the country of Israel,” he added, with his “we” seeming to refer to Oracle.​..
..Netanyahu recently called TikTok “the most important purchase going on right now,” adding that “weapons change over time,” and the most important ones today “are on social media.”
​  Now Oracle, led by Netanyahu’s friend and staunch ally Larry Ellison, is overseeing TikTok’s U.S. algorithms.​

​  From Eleni, Who is Larry Ellison?
Blair has recently emerged as “a potential Gaza interim consul and member of Donald Trump’s ‘board of peace.’”
​  Given that Ellison and Blair are both central to the Trump/Zionist plan, we might ask if they are also aware of each other? In fact, they are very closely intertwined.
​  According to Lighthouse Reports: Ellison invested $130 million in the Tony Blair Institute between 2021 and 2023, with a further $218 million pledged since then. The scale of funding took the TBI from a headcount of 200 to approaching 1,000. Blair himself takes no salary from TBI, but over this time, the institute has been able to recruit from bluechip firms like McKinsey and Silicon Valley giants Meta. In 2018, before the Oracle founder’s funding surge, TBI’s best-paid director earned $400,000. In 2023, the last year where accounts are available, the top earner took home $1.26 million.​

​  More Than An Accident? Kyle Bass Sounds Alarm On U.S. Military Explosives Supply Chain After Tennessee Plant Blast
​  The massive blast that rocked a Tennessee explosives plant last week that killed 16 people has caught the attention of Kyle Bass, founder and chief investment officer of Hayman Capital Management, who warned about potential sabotage by foreign adversaries. Investigators are still trying to determine what sparked the explosion.
​  "The Accurate Energetics Systems explosion in Tennessee demands urgent, independent scrutiny. With China moving aggressively toward Taiwan and historical precedents of sabotaging munitions facilities, we cannot dismiss the possibility this was more than an accident," Bass wrote on X.
​  He continued, "AES provides over 60% of the Department of War's high-explosives systems, losing it for years is a strategic shock. Every indicator and warning in the system is flashing red."​

John Bolton Indicted On 18 Counts Over Mishandling Classified Documents

​  "Distinguished" US Government Employee With Access To Nuclear Secrets Busted In 'Robot Porn' Scheme
​ A Department of Energy (DOE) employee with access to nuclear secrets has lost his security clearance after uploading a staggering 187,000 pornographic images to the agency's network...
..The man admitted breaching DOE rules but simply "did not think it was 'very wrong' to have adult images on an unclassified computer" and the DOE "was spying on him 'a little too much' given that the systems were unclassified." He also described the DOE software used to investigate the upload as "spyware" before going on to the Spanish Inquisition line.
  In mitigation, the man outlined a history of depression, alongside both medical and psychiatric treatment. In 2017 he was diagnosed with "major depressive disorder, moderate, recurrent, in full remission for approximately one year" and "ADHD with problems in focus, attention, follow-through, procrastination, distractibility, and impulsivity.”
​  According to his appeal, which was helpfully made public thanks to DOE guidelines, the employee insisted he thought his personal drives were "partitioned" from the DOE network, keeping his extensive collection private. Spoiler alert: they weren't. He attributed the upload to experiments with AI-generated "robot pornography,” clarifying these were images of humans for AI training, not mechanical fantasies, while coping with depression.​

Other Shoe To Drop

 Uneasily Anticipating,


  It looks to me like something big will soon "snap" in geopolitics and global finance, but what and exactly-when?
Worsening real economic conditions for the great majority of people outside Russia and China create frustrations and hopelessness, which should manifest as crowd-actions against ruling elites at some point. 
  Borrowing from the future has been taken beyond anything which can be serviced without borrowing, which awaits some inevitable sovereign-debt panic.
Power elites know this well and monitor it daily, seeking every possible tool to quell and prevent dislocations. 
  External enemies are good (Russia, Russia, Russia). 
Repression of political speech on social media and the internet is appealing, but counterproductive in gross-excess.
  Digital currency to be able to feed or not feed individuals, according to AI algorithms at the supermarket checkout,, look promising in the UK.
  Both funding of variously-violent mass protests and cracking down on that funding are in-play in the US, along with supporting and expelling illegal immigrants.
In the US there is a power struggle between elite factions, which is also beginning in the EU, with right-nationalist-populism rising. 
  Ukraine is at the cusp of crisis, with the Emergency Martial Law expiring November 5, and very uncertain to be renewed, as many Ukrainians will be freezing to death in the dark by then. If this is not renewed, then there will be local (just delayed) and national elections (Zelensky & Rada). 
  Russian advances along most of the long line of contact are staged for further quick captures of  numerous major cities, as exhausted Ukrainian troops are cut off from supply lines. 
  Russia has deployed the tanks again. Russia has been building their finest T-90 tanks at a rapid pace. Russia has a huge reserve of tanks.
Israel celebrates the return of their captured-soldier "hostages", and is preparing to complete the genocide of indigenous Palestinians, and maybe nuke Iran.
  Potentially harvestable organs of living humans might soon be tokenized into digital currency if current trends persist...

​  Surplus Energy Economics, A stroll along Revolution Street​  CAN WEALTH AND ORDER SURVIVE?
According to a recent BBC report, some of America’s wealthiest men are, or might be, investing in bunkers, or, as the article’s headline puts it, “doom prepping”. Author Zoe Kleinman goes on to mention just one of the many reasons why bunkers may be an impractical idea:
​  “I once met a former bodyguard of one billionaire with his own “bunker”, who told me his security team’s first priority, if this really did happen, would be to eliminate said boss and get in the bunker themselves. And he didn’t seem to be joking”...
​  The wealthiest must know that today’s extremes of wealth are abnormal, and might know, too, that the unfolding ending and reversal of material economic growth further stacks the odds against the continuation of this anomaly.​..
​..The very different attitudes to private profit – largely disregarded in China, almost worshipped in the West – are critical to competition between the two leading economic powers. It’s at least arguable that the pursuit of profit is only possible under conditions of economic expansion.
​  The West in general – and the United States in particular – may be entering a profoundly different era with exactly the wrong set of ideas.
​  In its determination to maintain the central role of private profit, then, the West may be trying to board a train that has already left the station.
SEEDS analysis indicates that material economic prosperity – for which money is no more than an operating proxy and a symbol – is likely to be about 14% lower in 2050 than it is today. Based on current population trends, this would make the World’s average person about 31% poorer than he or she is now.​

​  Another Nuclear Warning From Medvedev, This Time Over Tomahawks
Medvedev's chilling response on Monday spelled out that this "could end badly for everyone … most of all, for Trump himself," according to a translation of his Telegram post.

​  During this week’s NATO ‘Defense Ministers Summit’ in Brussels, lumpish Secretary General Mark Rutte broke the record for the most cringe-worthy statements in a two-minute span...
..Not only does he pretend to believe that NATO is dozens of times economically more powerful than Russia, but that its military is “infinitely” superior as well—using the language of children...
​..The most tragicomic part of the humiliated boy-toy of “daddy” Don’s rhetoric is that, if you listen carefully, its purpose appears merely to assuage his fellow apparatchiks, who are likely getting cold feet about brushing so close with death in antagonizing Russia.
​  Pleadingly—in the language of abject humiliation—Rutte begs them to “please take that into account”, and “take comfort” in the feigned aggrandizement of the alliance he’s so desperately heaping on to cover for its actual historic weakness. The purpose becomes clear: it’s a plying session meant to ease his compatriots’ worries; and it would not have been necessary if it weren’t for the fact that all of them believe precisely the opposite.​..
..The “strongman” NATO Reichschancellor goes on to flaccidly declare that the alliance will “gently” escort Russian planes that pose no threat because NATO is “so strong”—and only if NATO were “weak” would the alliance have to shoot the Russian planes down.​..
..To make matters worse, in a new interview disgraced “general” Ben Hodges boasted that should Russia dare attack ‘mighty’ NATO, both Kaliningrad and Sevastopol would be “annihilated” in the very first hour...
..If this smorgasbord of empty narcissism wasn’t enough, the king of ego himself capped off the day of pompous exultation with a final round of face-palm-inducing jabber. After nonsensically bloviating on about 1.5 million Russian casualties, he cited “long Russian gas lines” before ludicrously claiming the Russian economy will soon “collapse”...  That’s not to mention again unironically repeating the claim that he destroyed BRICS. On the contrary, BRICS has only been growing stronger, with de-dollarization booming amidst latest announcements that Indian oil companies have returned to paying for Russian oil in yuan.​   https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/hubris-and-theatrics-mark-atlanticist

​  John Helmer, WHAT IS RUSSIA’S STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH VENEZUELA WORTH IF THE US ATTACKS
​  Last week, according to the New York Times,  the Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was reported to have tried to head off President Donald Trump’s escalation to frontal military attack on Venezuela and regime change in Caracas by offering  “a dominant stake in Venezuela’s oil and other mineral wealth in discussions that lasted for months, according to multiple people close to the talks.”    Reportedly, Maduro’s terms included: “all existing and future oil and gold projects to American companies, give preferential contracts to American businesses, reverse the flow of Venezuelan oil exports from China to the United States, and slash his country’s energy and mining contracts with Chinese, Iranian and Russian firms.”
​  If Maduro did that, Russian sources concede hypothetically, it would amount to his revocation of Article 6 and Article 10 of the “Agreement between the Russian Federation and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela on Strategic Partnership and Cooperation”.      
​  The first provision of the treaty calls for “joint initiatives within the framework of OPEC+, the Forum of Gas Exporting Countries and other multilateral organizations, [to] promote balanced and stable long–term development of global energy markets without using artificial restrictions and unfair competition tools”. The second proposed to “cooperate in the energy sector in such areas as the exploration and development of new oil and natural gas fields, increasing the returns of fields operated by joint ventures and reducing their environmental impact.”  
​  Maduro signed the instrument of treaty ratification in front of the Russian Ambassador to Venezuela on October 7.  But that was several days after Maduro had been told the Trump Administration had ​rejected his scheme to replace the Russian oil companies  with American ones, and had cancelled negotiations on Maduro’s term sheet led by Richard Grenell.​..
..“Venezuela has an unusually varied collection of air defence assets, including smaller numbers of more capable systems. However, even most of the older surface-to-air missile systems have been upgraded and, as stated earlier, are generally highly mobile, meaning they can appear virtually anywhere, disrupting carefully laid mission plans. They could still pose a threat that would have to be taken seriously during any kind of offensive U.S. air operation directed against Venezuela…At the very least, it might be expected that the Venezuelan air defence picture would prompt the U.S. military to rely heavily on stealthy aircraft like the F-35, especially for any direct strikes on targets in defended areas of the country, as well as costly standoff munitions. Such a campaign would also require the support of defence-suppression assets and other support aircraft with their associated capabilities.”  
​  In mid-2024, the Pentagon-funded Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Washington concluded that Russia’s readiness to support Venezuela in a military conflict with the US is more symbolic than substantial. “Russia’s actions in the Caribbean are a form of symbolic engagement with allies that typically challenges U.S. leadership in the region… in contrast to the United States’ tangible support for Ukraine, Russian actions have been primarily symbolic, demonstrating Moscow’s capacity to engage countries close to U.S. territory and highlighting Washington’s failure to isolate Russia globally. Yet, it also indicates that Moscow is comfortable operating in the Western Hemisphere, underscoring the potential for escalation.”  
​  Oleg Tsarev — a leading Ukrainian opposition figure and candidate president for Kiev currently in exile in Crimea — has observed: “China and Russia…are major investors in Venezuela’s oil industry. China buys more than 90% of all Venezuelan oil, and is also one of the main creditors of Caracas. Russian investment exceeds $4 billion. In the event of an American invasion of Venezuela or a change in the foreign policy of Maduro, Moscow and Beijing are likely to lose their investments.  Maria Machado, the newly minted Nobel laureate and leader of the Venezuelan opposition, has also offered projects worth almost $2 trillion over 15 years to the Americans​.
​  Maria Machado, the newly minted Nobel laureate and leader of the Venezuelan opposition, has also offered projects worth almost $2 trillion over 15 years to the Americans. In general, the government and the opposition of Venezuela are now competing to see who will offer Trump more and appease him better.”​ “But, as practice shows, attempts to buy off the Americans, if they are firmly focused on regime change, do not lead to anything good. Maduro would be especially foolish to sacrifice relations with China and Russia at the request of the United States​".​   https://johnhelmer.net/what-is-russias-strategic-partnership-agreement-with-venezuela-worth-if-the-us-attacks/

  ​Lip-reader transcript of "death grip" extended handshake:  Macron's ominous warning to Trump at Egypt summit: 'You will see what is about to happen'
Lip reader Nicola Hickling told the Daily Mail that the handshake was much more than just a casual greeting between the two leaders.
​  'Nice to see you, so you agreed?' Trump told Macron who soon turned away from the camera and muttered an inaudible response.
'Are you being genuine?' Trump asks as Macron quickly replies, 'Of course.'
​  The commander-in-chief then tightens his grips around Macron's palm before shooting back, 'Okay, so now I want to know why, you hurt me. I already know.'
Trump then squeezes Macron's hand again as the French president looks down and away from the cameras.  
​  It's not clear what the pair were speaking about; however, it comes weeks after Macron was seen mocking Trump with world leaders.
The two leaders have a colorful history together, often seeming to appear friendly, despite occasionally criticizing each other in public.
​  Speaking slowly and clearly Trump says, 'I am making peace.'
Macron then taps Trump's hand and replies, 'Ah come on', while Trump ignores and grasps tighter.
​  'I only hurt those who hurt others,' Trump tells Macron while pointing at the cameras.
'I see. We will have to see about that,' Macron says before issuing a stark warning to Trump. 'You will see what is about to happen.'
​  Trump concludes, 'I’d like to see you do it, do it. I’ll see you in a bit.'​

​  There was a battle on between Kennedy and Israel in the days before he was assassinated: JFK Document Bombshell - Israeli Nukes
A newly un-redacted section of the JFK Assassination Document reveals something startling​   https://ggarros1.substack.com/p/jfk-document-bombshell-israeli-nukes

​  Extensive, detailed and referenced:​ Israel was part of the conspiracy to kill JFK
​  JFK’s opposition to Israel’s nuclear weapons development wasn’t his only threat to Israel’s leaders. It seems that Kennedy believed in the right of return for the 750,000 Palestinians who were expelled by Zionist forces as part of the establishment of Israel in 1948.
​  Two articles appeared in The New York Times on 21 November 1963 – the day before JFK’s assassination – detailing US efforts at the United Nations to allow Palestinian refugees to return to present-day Israel. They were headlined: “Israel Dissents as UN Group Backs US on Arab Refugees” and “US Stand Angers Israel.”
​  In addition, in 1962, the Department of Justice, under Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, argued that the American Zionist Council – a precursor to AIPAC – was being funded by the Jewish Agency for Israel and ordered the council to register as a foreign agent.
​  That order was quietly dropped in 1966 by the Johnson administration, and, in 1967, an American Zionist Council front group was renamed and reorganized as the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) without having to register as a foreign agent.​

​  Moon of Alabama, China Reacts After U.S. Pushed Netherlands To Seize Chinese Owned Company
This is a story about a fight between titans in which Europe, due to its leaders stupidity, is the most significant casualty.
​  Today the Chinese government reacted to the Dutch raid of the Chinese owned company by cutting it off from Chinese technologies and products:
Chipmaker Nexperia, a subsidiary of China’s Wingtech Technology and a major supplier of mature chips for the automotive and consumer electronics sectors, announced on Tuesday that it has been banned by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce from exporting products made in China, including those produced by its subcontractors, after the Dutch government took over the company using a Cold-War-era law to secure Europe’s chip supply.
​  Nexperia said it is seeking an exemption from the export ban, which could affect Dutch access to its chips. The company operates an 80,000-square-meter assembly site in Guangdong province near Hong Kong, as well as fabrication, assembly, and testing facilities in Germany, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Britain.
​  If the Dutch government does not retract its decision to practically confiscate Nexperia the company will die. Its business is globalized. Parts of its products are made all over the world. Its products and sales in Europe depend on subcontractor products which are made in China.
​  The company is important to Europe. It produces some 90 billion bread and butter components per year which flow into other higher value European products. Sure, other Chinese companies will be happy to replace those parts. But where is the win for the Netherlands or Europe in that?
  In the trade war between U.S. and China Europe should have stayed neutral. It should not have buckled under pressure from either side but rely on its own substantial trade powers to stay out of the fight. It is a fight in which the U.S. has no chance to win.​

  Now, the consequences of open-border policies and lax immigration policies that enabled migrants to be funneled into the small town could be set to unleash what some folks at the local level are calling a "humanitarian disaster" in the making. This is because Fourth Street Barbecue is planning to shut down its plants at the end of the month after defaulting on more than $80 million in loans... The plant's closure means that most of its workers, Haitian migrants under Temporary Protected Status (TPS), will soon be jobless and, once their TPS protections expire, reclassified as illegal. Imagine that - half a town full of illegals.   https://www.zerohedge.com/political/brink-humanitarian-disaster-800-migrant-families-stranded-pennsylvania-town-after-factory

  "Dream into action":  Project Rosalind  Every transaction will be centrally evaluated for appropriatness and taxation level, only finalizing when fully compliant.
Cross the Fabian Society’s In Tandem, ‘Positive Money’, and the BIS Innovation Hub’s Project Rosalind and what do you get?
​  You get a blueprint for a command economy using 21st-century digital infrastructure — a technical and institutional architecture for comprehensive control over money, spending, and economic activity.​..
​..A user attempts to purchase a restaurant meal. Their wallet communicates with their payment service provider, which calls the Rosalind API to request authorisation. Before approval, the request passes through a policy engine evaluating conditional parameters.
​  The wallet presents selective-disclosure credentials proving the payer is in the top income decile. The merchant category code indicates discretionary spending. The location is a fashionable London restaurant. The current date falls within a policy bundle, pushed to the system three days prior by the Economic Policy Coordination Committee.
​  The engine evaluates: income band (top 10%) × merchant category (discretionary) × geofence (London) × active policy bundle → apply surcharge of 2.5%.
​  The transaction proceeds. The user pays 2.5% more than the menu price. The merchant receives the standard amount, and the difference flows to the Treasury. No legislation was passed. No budget debate occurred. A committee met, compiled a rule, and pushed it to the engine.​

  Bombshell Study Was Covered Up After Confirming Unvaccinated Children Are Healthier
The study in question involved more than 18,000 children in Michigan’s Henry Ford Health system.
​  It was never peer-reviewed or published.
However, it was not due to bad science, but because its results contradicted the official “vaccine” narrative.
​  “The results are astonishing,” Siri testified.
The study confirmed that vaccinated children were:
  4.29 times more likely to develop asthma.
3.03 times more likely to develop atopic disease.
  5.96 times more likely to develop autoimmune disorders.
5.53 times more likely to develop neurodevelopmental disorders.
​  In total, vaccinated children were 2.48 times more likely to be diagnosed with a chronic health condition compared to those who never received a shot.
In some cases, such as diabetes or brain dysfunction, no unvaccinated children had the condition at all.
​  Yet the researchers, longtime vaccine advocates, refused to publish their findings, fearing for their careers.
According to Siri, Henry Ford Health leadership pressured them into silence.​

​  Early 2019: NIAID, DARPA, Bill Gates Intentionally Infect 80 Americans With Lab-Made Pandemic Influenza Virus: HHS Study
Majority of infected individuals became contagious to others, raising national security and informed consent concerns.
​  No description was provided for biosafety controls, isolation conditions, or post-infection release criteria, meaning the public record offers no verification of how HHS prevented the spread of its own lab-created virus beyond the NIH facility.
​  This omission raises not only national-security concerns but also informed-consent violations, since people who may have interacted with participants outside the study were never notified of possible exposure to an NIH-made pathogen.
​  Although the paper frames the experiment as advancing “next-generation vaccine development,” its findings instead showed that vaccination failed to prevent infection or viral shedding and appeared to trigger immune hyperactivation in vaccinated participants.
​  The newly published HHS study therefore stands as a rare, fully documented example of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services deliberately infecting American citizens with a laboratory-grown pandemic-grade virus—underwritten by HHS, DARPA, and the Gates Foundation, with no transparent account of how the resulting contagion was contained.​
