It's all consolidation of trump's power. Everything revolves around that. All the capitulations have a purpose. To form a state media, as Olga has said, is the capitulated media. trump is forming an authoritarian militarized police state where police will have immunity & be given pro bono lawyers from law firms that have capitulated. It's all connected!

Everything that trump states is a lie. There's no reduction in the stockpile, unless it's going down because it's all been given to Bibi. Political assassinations & threats, building concentration camps, now taking away citizenship from naturalized citizens, masked ICE agents grabbing brown people off the streets & throwing them into vans are all trump consolidating his authoritarianism. A federal court just held that trump's denial of asylum is a violation of an Act of Congress--some Immigration Act--an overreach of executive power. He's stayed his order for 2 weeks, pending an appeal from trump. Every suit against trump is being switched to a class action suit with temporary injunctions, instead of nation wide injunctions in order to appease SCOTUS. If the BBB is passed by the fascist GOP, we will be tipped over into the 3rd stage of authoritarianism, when the only way out is massive ongoing peaceful protests,boycotts, general strike with unions & then revolution. This is from Ruth ben-Ghiat. I can no longer sugarcoat this. EU has prepared massive sanctions against Russian & initiated a program to ween themselves away from Russian energy resources. They decided in NATO to up their military spending to 5% of GDP at their recent meeting.

Lev Parnas has said Zelensky has intel that Putin won't stop at Donbas. He will go all the way through Poland to the Baltic countriess. That seems pretty obvious, however.

When Ukraine pushes back, trump listens to Putin & does something to please. After that Ukraine Spider caper, trump lifted the sanctions on Putin's war banks. Now Ukraine has pushed back again & conduced bombings in areas near Moscow & Crimea. Now trump announces no more military aid to Ukraine. It's a pattern Lev Parnas has talked about.

Give up on that idea - he is openly helping Russia - Putin has promised him if they work together they can rule the world

All lies - just smoke and mirrors to cover up the fact that Trump is Putin’s puppet and will do what he can for him to defeat Ukraine

Thanks for taking us beyond the obvious as to what actually is happening right before our eyes. My heart is breaking that very few have noticed what we all should be fighting against. I’m not that smart but even I get it. Looking at the photo of last night’s visit to “Alligator Alcatraz”, it reminded me of a local animal shelter. So very sick!

Is there some deal where Putin along with The Vatican, promised to restore all the monarchies of Europe in exchange for Trump disentangling America from Europe? Has anyone heard that?

How to DM on Substack?

There is so much missing information because of the way real history has been distorted and covered up.

I may have dismissed it outright except that it is in line with my other research and it also explains, in my mind at least, why certain things are taking place that otherwise don’t make a lot of sense.

I really appreciate your commentary, and steadfast on-going summary and updates of the on-going nonsense we're all being lambasted with.

I was quite upset today to learn about Trump's suspension of the pre-committed military aid to Ukraine, as it is already so extremely tragic the many ways in which we have been failing them in securing their sovereign nation in the face of Putin's tryranical invasion.

But nowadays, of course, Trump is preying on our own citizens which is distracting all of us, and very disabling to our ability to all that I believe that we *do* wish to do as a nation and a people to support Ukraine.

But this is far from over,

and we *the people* are the ones who (constitutionally-speaking) *are* the government of these United States.

We do have a rather unpleasant mess at the moment - in light of who we've somehow allowed to represent us, that we need to clean up,

The ukraine launches one hundred and fifty 22 hundred thousand drones per month .per month. Last year alone, the Ukraine produced 4 million units in the Ukraine. That's not including all the ones that they were provided from foreign aid. Which, by the way, it's just over four hundred thousand if you're asking about the us involvement. Oh, russia said five thousand drones against ukraine the last month. Ukrainians have launched nine thousand five hundred that met their target in Russia, up to hundreds of kilometres away from the battlefront. These are the nine thousand five hundred that hit targets. Of which they only make up ten to twenty percent of the total fleet that was sent. You guys need to fact check yourselves

This is disgusting move and at the same time that sanctions on Russia are being weakened. I am embarrased to be an American
