President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin next week in Alaska.
Trump shared the ground-breaking statement via his Truth Social social media platform where he described the meeting as ‘highly anticipated,’ though few details were provided.
The summit would be the first face-to-face meeting between the two world leaders since Russia invaded neighboring Ukraine in 2022 under President Joe Biden.
‘The highly anticipated meeting between myself, as President of the United States of America, and President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, will take place next Friday, August 15, 2025, in the Great State of Alaska,’ Trump wrote.
‘Further details to follow. Thank you for your attention to this matter!’

Timothy Williamson on Knowledge: What is Knowledge?
__________
FIML works with the shared knowledge of two people; knowledge that both partners agree on.
FIML works with small bits of knowledge to avoid jumping mistakenly into false belief, justification, or truth as these words are used in the video above.
In this way, FIML is working with both primary subjective and primary objective knowledge, turning them into agreed upon better subjective and objective knowledge (since both agree).
Doing FIML frequently, clears up mistaken beliefs, justifications, and truths by clearing up basic subjective and objective knowledge mistakes.
I have only just heard of Williamson, but the messy knowledge basis of interpersonal relations has been clear to me for many decades.
When partners compare their subjective knowledge of self and each other, they correct their false knowledge and replace it with much better knowledge.
Basic FIML works with bits of language and semiotics that are small enough for both partners to distinctly remember in real-time and agree on what they are.
A huge advantage of working with small bits of knowledge is self-correction is fairly easy. And also its effects on meso and macro kinds of knowledge happen through autocatalytic expansion into those regions.
Everything changes when lots of little bits of knowledge are cleared up and made better. The insights expand throughout the mind.
FIML does not tell you what to think. It is a method for working with what you know or can know or thought you knew but maybe were wrong or right.
FIML’s truths, once realized, are psychological, existential, philosophical and spiritual. ABN

FBI Terminates Employment of Brian Driscoll, Walter Giardina and Steven Jensen
The lack of firings amid the top-tier of FBI leadership has been a nagging concern.
Today, Fox News is reporting on the firing of three very consequential and corrupt FBI officials, former FBI acting director, Brian Driscoll; acting director of the Washington Field Office who targeted the J6 attendees, Steven Jensen, and Walter Giardina, the special agent who played a role in the investigation of Trump trade advisor, Peter Navarro.
Steven Jensen was a particular thorn in the side of those who understood his role in continuing the FBI corrupt activity and targeting the J6 attendees.

Verbal abuse in childhood has devastating impact on adult brain
The survey asked participants how often they felt optimistic about the future, useful, relaxed, had dealt with problems well, had thought clearly, felt close to others and were able to make up their own minds when required.
What the researchers found was that those who experienced verbal abuse as children were 1.64 times more likely to report poor mental well-being as adults. Meanwhile, individuals exposed to physical abuse were 1.52 times more likely to have compromised mental health later in life, and those who experienced both verbal and physical maltreatment were 2.15 times more likely to have negative mental health outcomes.
There’s a growing body of evidence that demonstrates how verbal and emotional abuse in childhood has long-term impacts, even changing the brain as it’s developing. Nonetheless, it’s often viewed as less harmful than other forms of maltreatment. In this study, the researchers found that while physical abuse had decreased – from around 20.2% of children born in the 1970s to 10% of those born in 2000 or later – verbal abuse has steadily increased.
Mind-control is a paramount form of verbal abuse, both by what it forces us to say and what it forbids us to say.
We all know the abusiveness of the silent treatment; mind-control uses the silent treatment very often.
They won’t say it and neither can you, so silence spreads like a psycholinguistic contagion.
Some even believe silence is a sign of maturity, so they succumb proudfully.
Early, middle and late education is also rife with mind-control verbal abuse. They even test your levels of indoctrination.
Intelligent humans are highly susceptible to psycholinguistic mind-control and semiotic hypnosis.
A medical setting is but one example of semiotic hypnosis, and it includes medical personnel. Schools are similar, and there are many other examples. ABN
Nvidia warns of ‘disaster’ if it has to put kill switch and backdoor in chips
Nvidia said there are no backdoors or kill switches in its chips, denying an accusation from the Chinese government. The company also urged policymakers to reject proposals for backdoors and kill switches.
“There are no back doors in NVIDIA chips. No kill switches. No spyware. That’s not how trustworthy systems are built—and never will be,” Nvidia Chief Security Officer David Reber Jr. wrote in a blog post yesterday.
The Cyberspace Administration of China last week said it held a meeting with Nvidia over “serious security issues” in the company’s chips and claimed that US AI experts “revealed that Nvidia’s computing chips have location tracking and can remotely shut down the technology.”
The accusation is related to the H20 chip Nvidia made for the Chinese market to comply with US export restrictions. US lawmakers are meanwhile considering a Chip Security Act that would require exported chips to be built with “location verification.” The bill also calls for an assessment of mechanisms to stop unauthorized use—a proposal that critics say could lead to a “kill switch” like the kind that Nvidia wants to prevent.
