Sports Fans,
Since all news is Trump news these days, Alex Krainer frames the context, The education of Donald Trump - Nothing is what it seems...
In discussing global geopolitics, the central concern is Donald Trump’s conduct of US foreign policy as well as doubts over his competence, integrity and even his sanity. For many, the high hopes of Trump’s second term have turned to a bitter disappointment as it seems that he broke nearly all the promises he made to his voters. It does appear to be that way, but I am not convinced that this is indeed the case.....They do have a definitive mission, as opposed to shooting off the hip randomly and changing their policy and alliances from one week to the next. If that is the case, then what comes across as ineptitude (to put it politely) could be deception aimed at the administration’s political opponents.
On Friday, 11 July I joined @EMBurlingame for a chat with on @CryptoRich podcast, much of which revolved around the dilemma of Trump’s policies, competence, sanity, etc. E. M. Burligame is a battle-hardened Green Beret and researcher focused on deep state and 5th Generation Warfare...
..Opened with the hot button issue Jeffrey Epstein and the list of his clients which, as we learned earlier this month, won’t be made public, contrary to Trump’s electoral promises. Many of his supporters now feel betrayed and deceived, to the point that it’s provoked a revolt in the MAGA movement. However, I never thought that the list would really be made public.....Epstein, who almost certainly is, or was, an important MI6, CIA or Mossad asset, spent many years developing his network of high-level contacts and building up control files on some of the most powerful men in the world. The purpose of going to all that trouble is because such kompromat can be an extremely powerful weapon in the hands of those who get to wield it. By making all the files public, the weapon would be rendered useless...
The success of Trump’s mission, whatever that mission be, largely depends on his political power... In that sense, whatever files or lists they obtained from Epstein’s magnum opus, those are disproportionately valuable...
..But the particularly fascinating part of my discussion with E. M. Burligame was in his perspective on Donald Trump and his role in the system. As he put it, Trump is playing the “Sport of Kings,” which unfolds above the “Great Game.” The Great Game would be the domain of the “managerial class”: the statesmen, diplomats, military leaders, intelligence networks, media, etc. It entails fields like economics, trade, finance, politics, geostrategy and warfare. What E. M. Burlingame called the Sport of Kings entails managing the managerial class: controlling those who run the Great Game without getting killed, overthrown, or having one’s family destroyed, compromised, or drawn into traps set by your adversaries...
..The king is especially vulnerable to those who are nearest to him and for that reason, much of what the king must do on a continuous basis amounts to very tough tests of loyalty. E. M. believes that Trump is indeed playing the Sport of Kings, but that this is lost on the public in “democratic” West as we no longer recognize the true nature of the relationship between the people and their princes. He thought that among today’s leaders only a few are adept at the Sport of Kings and named Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, Viktor Orban (Hungary) and Aleksandar Vučić (Serbia).....Since wars are invariably waged by deception, much of what Trump does amounts to deception. One of the most powerful ways of deceiving your adversary is exactly by playing dumb. As a case in point, E.M. mentioned the case of Vincent "The Chin" Gigante, the patron of New York’s Genovese crime family from 1981 until 2005... For nearly two decades, Gigante evaded law enforcement by feigning mental illness, often wandering Greenwich Village muttering incoherently and wearing a bathrobe and slippers. This act delayed his prosecution until 1997...
..All this happened in New York City and Trump would certainly have been aware of the story...
..Trump would not be feigning mental illness (25th amendment), but if we’re charitable, he lacks eloquence and often comes across as well out of his depth on so many issues. If that’s his deception, what war would necessitate it? E. M. Burlingame believes that Trump’s mission is to dismantle the “superstructure” created over the centuries by the ruling oligarchy. That superstructure has resulted in a massive theft of commons, which Trump intends to reverse.....Ms. Kokinda is very active in the Michigan Republican party and shared something Donald Trump said at an event where she was present: he called on the attendees to join him in what he said would be the ultimate battle against the global financier class... She pointed out that in a recent cabinet meeting, Trump deliberately and repeatedly referred to US adversaries as “our so-called enemies,” and “people who are perceived to be our enemies.” .....If Trump really is playing the Sport of Kings, and doing it skilfully, rather than being lost at sea, we should expect many unexpected surprises through the rest of his term in office, unless it is somehow cut short...
..Another fact we know is that Trump’s political mentor was Richard Nixon, himself the victim of that same swamp. [See next link & excerpt.]
.....I believe that he probably understands a lot more than he lets on, that the shallowness - if not the vulgarity - of his public and social media statements are part of the Vincent Gigante-like deception, and that the policy positions of his government are only seemingly shifting with the political winds of the day.
As E. M. Burlingame put it during our conversation, to successfully negotiate the political challenges before him, Trump does not need to be a sage or a great philosopher. Instead, he needs to be a gangster. At least, he needs to be comfortable with that mindset, and that much does appear to be the case. https://alexkrainer.substack.com/p/the-education-of-donald-trump
Through his wife Pat, who likely got the prediction from the occultist Jean Dixon (1904-1997, predicted JFK’s assassination, consulted with the Nixon’s 70 times while they were in the White House) Nixon tells Donald Trump in a 1987 letter, that he will become president. After his resignation, Nixon, the California guy, moves to NY. Trump and Nixon send a number of letters back and forth and Trump even flies Nixon around the country a few times. They become friends. Trump still speaks highly of Nixon to this day. https://secularheretic.substack.com/p/donald-j-trump-part-2-the-forbidden
Matt Taibbi, New Whistleblower Report Drops as Pressure Mounts in Russia Case - How many intelligence chiefs fit in the back of a Volkswagen?
Tulsi’s new document is a whistleblower statement, from a former “Deputy National Intelligence Officer (DNIO) at the National Intelligence Council (NIC).” The former official’s story mostly surrounds his suppressed objections to the use of unverifiable evidence in the Russiagate assessment, and subsequent odyssey through the whistleblower bureaucracy. A tale I’d never heard before, that the dossier material was inserted during a car ride involving James Comey, James Clapper, and John Brennan, makes a cameo. The jokes write themselves. https://www.racket.news/p/new-whistleblower-report-drops-as
Martin Armstrong, The Schema Frequency
Crossfire Hurricane was the code name for the counterintelligence investigation undertaken by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from July 31, 2016, to May 17, 2017. It was when FBI director James Comey raised suspicions of obstruction of justice, which triggered the Mueller investigation. James Comey was the head of the DOJ in NYC, who was keeping me in contempt indefinitely until the Supreme Court ordered the government to explain what the hell was going on. Then they had to release me.
My case centered around the attempted regime change they were orchestrating to seize control of Russia, which I refused to participate in...
..I was kept in prison without even a description of a crime. Ask any lawyer if this was legal. There is no rule of law in the United States. Justice is spelled “JUST US” and you are a fool if you think they give a shit about anything other than their own power. They circumvent Congress, and most judges do whatever the government tells them to pronounce.....Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell reportedly met in early 1991 in New York, before her father’s death. There is so much more to the Epstein affair, but they keep everyone focused on pedophiles rather than on the blackmail and real motives and who was truly pulling the strings.
Jeffrey Epstein attended Robert Maxwell’s funeral in 1991. Epstein had financial and social ties to Maxwell and his family. Epstein’s presence at the funeral is well-documented, underscoring his early connections to powerful figures. Nobody has explained where Epstein’s money came from or how he knew so many people. I have said before that I was warned to be careful, they will use women to try to infiltrate my company. I knew the scheme they played and was always on my guard. Robert Maxwell died under mysterious circumstances after falling from his yacht, Lady Ghislaine (named after his daughter). Robert Maxwell had long been the subject of speculation regarding possible connections to intelligence agencies, including Israel’s Mossad. While no definitive proof has been made public, several credible reports and investigations suggest that Maxwell had significant ties to Israeli intelligence. I covered my investigation of this in the Plot to Seize Russia.
It’s an Endless Web of Connections & Epstein Was Part of the Club just look at how many people connected to these events committed suicide or were killed mysteriously. I also knew Dominick Dunne, who wrote for Vanity Fair, also dead. He also told me he was threatened in a restaurant in Paris-“Be careful what you write about.” https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/armstrong-in-the-media/armstrong-trial/the-schema-frequency-2/

Hamas: Trump repeats Israel narrative, lies and misleads public Israel is accused of deliberately starving two million people by bombing bakeries, obstructing food supplies, and cutting off water access. PNGO stated, “This is not merely a crisis; it’s genocide.”
According to PNGO (Palestinian NGO Network) reports, 91% of Gaza’s population faces critical food insecurity, with 345,000 individuals experiencing Phase 5 famine—the most severe level. An alarming 60,000 children urgently require treatment for malnutrition, and 92% of children under two years old, along with breastfeeding mothers, are not receiving adequate nutrition, which could cause irreversible damage to an entire generation.

John Helmer thinks Putin warned Trump and Netanyahu about S-400 operational status over Iran in recent hush-hush phone conversations:
HAS THE KREMLIN CROSSED THE S-400 THRESHOLD TO FIRE ON ISRAELI, US AIRCRAFT ATTACKING IRAN? President Vladimir Putin has held three telephone calls with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this year so far. What matters most now, after the third of these calls on July 28, is that Putin has omitted to put on the Kremlin record what he told Netanyahu – and what Netanyahu has just relayed to President Donald Trump that is Putin’s warning to them both.
If the latest press leaks, calculated in Iran and possibly in India too, are correct, then Putin has crossed a warfighting threshold he has refused to cross before... ..Netanyahu also omitted to record what was said in this call for more than a day, a delay that was noted by the Israeli press. He then issued a tweet saying only that “the conversation between the two leaders was on the issue of Iran.”
The brevity is telling. It has triggered speculation among Moscow sources that Putin called Netanyahu to warn that recent Iranian press leaks of the operational testing and deployment of the S-400 air defence system in Iran are correct; that Putin has ordered several hundred Russians to man and train the Iranians to operate the system; and that they have orders to fire against any Israeli or US target which comes within the 400-kilometre range.
“That would be a reply to Trump about the super-invisibility of his best-in-the-world B-2 bombers,” one Moscow source commented. “Will he risk bombing Iran again, as he’s been threatening?”

Andrew Korybko, Western Pressure On India Over Russia Already Backfired Even If It Partially Complies
It’s reshaping Indian policymakers’ views of the West and breeding resentment of their governments among its society.
India’s former Permanent Representative to the UN Syed Akbaruddin recently published an informative opinion piece at NDTV titled “Tariff Blitz: Is India Becoming Collateral Damage In Someone Else's War?” The gist is that the West, via Trump’s threatened 100% sanctions on Russia’s trading partners upon the expiry of his deadline to Putin for a ceasefire in Ukraine and the EU via its new sanctions barring the import of processed Russian oil products from third countries, is putting undue pressure on India.....To be clear, India’s envisaged Great Power rise doesn’t pose a systemic challenge to the West like China’s superpower trajectory does, nor is it “disruptive” like the restoration of Russia’s Great Power status has been. India consistently sought to facilitate the global systemic transition to multipolarity by serving as a bridge between East and West, which complements the West’s objective interests, albeit while undermining its subjective hegemonic ones that are responsible for many of the Global South’s troubles.
Trying to subordinate India and then treating it as a rival when it doesn’t submit could therefore further destabilize this already chaotic transition, thus possibly leading to unforeseeable consequences that accelerate the decline of Western hegemony more than if the West treated India as an equal. Pressuring India even more and then punishing it for lack of full compliance with their demands will only hasten this outcome. It’s unlikely to succeed in getting India to submit to them so they should abandon this policy. https://korybko.substack.com/p/western-pressure-on-india-over-russia

Alex Krainer, EUretard ship of fools is sinking the EU - It's been one humiliation after another for Usrula von der Leyen and the EU. This last one at Trump's hands could prove fatal for the edifice. The EU’s problems have ultimately been created by the bloc’s arrogant, intellectually challenged and short-sighted leadership, which has proven as incompetent as it is rigidly attached to ideological objectives. Slowly but surely, they managed to render the EU dysfunctional, not only in terms of its diplomacy but practically along every metric including competitiveness, military power and its economic performance...
..The EU already scored a spectacular own-goal in their relations with China. First, our High Commissioner for Foreign Relations, Kaja Kallas thought it appropriate to take advantage of her meeting with China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi earlier this month to lecture him about EU values and democracy. She opened by demanding of China to submit to the rules based order and arrogantly insisted that China condemn Russia’s military operation in Ukraine, cease providing support and use its influence to stop Russia’s advance westward.
Wang Yi replied that China was not helping Russia in the conflict with Ukraine and that it had no intention whatsoever of interfering in that conflict. Had China done so, said Yi, the conflict would already have been over. However, Mr. Yi also informed Kallas that China had no intention of seeing Russia lose, because China’s leadership believes that if Russia was defeated, the “rules based order” would turn on China next. Allegedly, the members of China’s delegation at that meeting said they had never seen Wang Yi as angry as he was then. https://alexkrainer.substack.com/p/euretard-ship-of-fools-is-sinking
Can Stablecoins Save The US Dollar... Or Just Delay Its Collapse?Tether claims to have over 400 million users globally—and is adding 30 million more every quarter. That’s explosive growth—reminiscent of Facebook at the height of its expansion.
It’s no surprise that USDt is hugely popular in emerging markets and developing countries like Argentina, Venezuela, and Turkey—places where local currencies are rapidly losing value, and people turn to the US dollar as a relatively more stable store of value. USDt gives them access to US dollars they might not otherwise be able to get.
Tether is like having a US dollar-based checking account—without needing a US bank. For billions of people, it’s simply a better way to hold and send dollars than the sluggish, outdated banking system—which often isn’t even accessible to them in the first place. The average person in Venezuela can’t open a US bank account—but they can access USDt.
Today, stablecoins already settle more value than Visa. Whether people realize it or not, this is the future of dollar payments for billions of people. https://www.zerohedge.com/crypto/can-stablecoins-save-us-dollar-or-just-delay-its-collapse
Qatar threatens to cut off gas exports to EuropeQatari Energy Minister Saad al-Kaabi said the country was reacting to the EU's corporate sustainability due diligence directive (CSDDD), which requires larger companies operating in the EU to find and fix human rights and environmental issues in their supply chains.
"Put simply, if further changes are not made to CSDDD, the State of Qatar and QatarEnergy will have no choice but to seriously consider alternative markets outside of the EU for our LNG and other products, which offer a more stable and welcoming business environment," said the letter...
..Brussels proposed changes to the CSDDD earlier this year to reduce its requirements - including by delaying its launch by a year, to mid-2028, and limiting the checks companies will have to make down their supply chains.
Companies that fail to comply could face fines of up to 5% of global turnover.
Qatar said the EU's changes had not gone far enough. In the letter, Kaabi said Qatar was particularly concerned about the CSDDD's requirement for companies have a climate change transition plan aligned with preventing global warming exceeding 1.5 celsius - the goal of the Paris Agreement. https://en.mehrnews.com/news/234788/Qatar-threatens-to-cut-off-gas-exports-to-Europe

Synthetic mRNA Vaccines and Transcriptomic Dysregulation: Evidence from New-Onset Adverse Events and Cancers Post-VaccinationResults: Both vaccine patient groups displayed widespread transcriptional dysregulation. In the nonmalignant adverse event group, hallmark enrichments included mitochondrial dysfunction, proteasome-mediated stress, transcriptomic instability, and systemic inflammation. The cancer group exhibited additional hallmarks of genomic instability, and epigenetic reprogramming. Nonsense-mediated decay (NMD), ribosomal stress, and MYC activation were prominent in both groups, while immune signaling via TLRs and type I interferons was particularly elevated in cancer patients. Conclusions: The observed transcriptomic profiles indicate persistent cellular stress responses, mitochondrial dysfunction, and immune dysregulation following exposure to mRNA vaccines, potentially in susceptible individuals. Shared and distinct molecular signatures in both cohorts demonstrate underlying mechanisms contributing to post-vaccine symptomatology and complications, including oncogenesis and or progression of malignant disease. These findings underscore the need for a deeper investigation. https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202507.2155/v1
Higher-range Nattokinase dosing, studied for coronary heart disease, here: Effective management of atherosclerosis progress and hyperlipidemia with nattokinase: A clinical study with 1,062 participants
Nattokinase (NK), known as a potent fibrinolytic and antithrombotic agent, has been shown to have antiatherosclerotic and lipid-lowering effects. However, data on human clinical studies are limited. In this clinical study involving 1,062 participants, our objective was to examine the efficacy of NK in atherosclerosis and hyperlipidemia and safety at the dose of 10,800 FU/day after 12 months of oral administration. Various factors, including lower doses that influence NK pharmacological actions, were also investigated.
We found that NK at a dose of 10,800 FU/day effectively managed the progression of atherosclerosis and hyperlipidemia with a significant improvement in the lipid profile. A significant reduction in the thickness of the carotid artery intima-media and the size of the carotid plaque was observed. The improvement rates ranged from 66.5 to 95.4%. NK was found to be ineffective in lowering lipids and suppressing atherosclerosis progression at a dose of 3,600 FU/day. The lipid-lowering effect of NK was more prominent in subjects who smoked, drank alcohol, and subjects with higher BMI. Regular exercise further improved the effects of NK. Co-administration of vitamin K2 and aspirin with NK produced a synergetic effect. No noticeable adverse effects associated with the use of NK were recorded.
In conclusion, our data demonstrate that atherosclerosis progression and hyperlipidemia can be effectively managed with NK at a dose of 10,800 FU/day. The lower dose of 3,600 FU per day is ineffective. The dose of 10,800 FU/day is safe and well tolerated. Some lifestyle factors and the coadministration of vitamin K2 and aspirin lead to improved outcomes in the use of NK.
The Vigilant Fox, RFK Jr. Drops Stunning New Vaccine Announcement
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just took aim at a system that has failed Americans for nearly 40 years, the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). This program was created under the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, which shielded vaccine manufacturers from lawsuits over injury claims. Before becoming HHS Secretary, Kennedy exposed how vaccine manufacturers were being hammered with lawsuits due to injuries.
One of the largest manufacturers at the time, Wyeth (now part of Pfizer), reportedly told President Reagan: give us legal protection or we’ll stop making vaccines. Reagan’s response? Why not just make safer vaccines? Wyeth’s answer: Vaccines are “unavoidably unsafe.”
That phrase—“unavoidably unsafe”—would later appear in a Supreme Court decision and reflects the legal premise that some vaccine injuries are inevitable.
“And so, anybody who tells you vaccines are safe and effective, the industry itself got immunity from liability by convincing the President and Congress that vaccines are unavoidably unsafe,” Kennedy previously stated. https://www.vigilantfox.com/p/rfk-jr-drops-stunning-new-vaccine
