What a difference Trump makes. He’s a real president. Zelensky is used to being coddled and praised. This short vid shows where his flippant attitude comes from. And why Trump shot him down. Besides the theatrics of this, there is also a deep game theory going on. Zelensky humiliated himself on the world stage in the American Oval Office. I doubt he will recover. Will Europe coddle him now? If so, they will be treated same as Zelensky. Trump sees the real prize is peace and strong relations with Russia. ABN
Mild repetitive head injuries do more than just cause short-term issues with cognition, behavior and motor skills. They also lead to an increased risk of dementia, Parkinson’s disease and chronic traumatic encephalopathy, and cost billions of dollars in health care.
There is no medical treatment for these types of injuries but new preliminary research out of Northeastern University shows a solution may lie in a surprising place: psilocybin, the psychedelic found in drugs like magic mushrooms.
A group of researchers including Northeastern psychology professor Craig Ferris tested the healing effects of psilocybin on adult female rats. After these rats suffered mild head injuries, researchers found that being treated with psilocybin helped restore normal brain function.
I usually do not put up mouse or rat studies, but this one is interesting. I myself long ago experienced enormous relief from a brain injury due to psychedelics. This feature alone may be a major factor in psychedelics beneficial effects on depression and other psychological and emotional problems. ABN
Both appear to be Jewish and funded by Soros, who is Jewish. The vast majority of Jews vote Dem and do not support Trump. Jewish Supremists have worked assiduously and continuously to undermine USA and the West. This includes savage internecine violence in addition to payola politics and mind-control campaigns. All prominent Jews in the public sphere should be asked by interviewers if the are Jewish Supremists or if they support Jewish Supremacy. They should also be asked to disavow Jewish Supremacy if they claim not to be Jewish Supremists. This has been a common question asked of white males for many decades. ABN
The key to understand Bondi, is to accept and understand the role of performative ops in the management of public perception.
Remember, Bondi knew she was participating in an operation as State AG to manufacture a false witness in a criminal case (Zimmerman), by her friend Ben Crump.
In the manufacturing of Witness #8 (Jeantel), Bondi knew to a demonstrable certainty that there was no factual “ear witness” against the accused. Bondi knew the state prosecution (Corey), conducted by her former campaign manager, was contingent upon the retention of a lie that was dependent on the fabricated Witness #8. She didn’t make mistakes. She knew the fraud behind the construct.
With foreknowledge and specific intent, Bondi in her position as state AG, filed motions with the court to deny the accused the ability to question the fabricated witness (Jeantel). She knew the motions she was filing were based on fraud, but she perceived her role in managing public opinion was more important than the lawful application of justice.
In that moment, Bondi became a manager of public opinion. This is the same skillset and perceived purpose we are seeing now, with the Epstein information.
Bottom line: (1) Bondi is a truth manager. (2) Bondi will maintain and advance false information to retain her intents for #1.
We are now and always have been ruled by a core elite (a comitatus) based on and held together by loyalty to their figurehead or actual leader, in this case Trump. The Trump comitatus is a major faction of the Western elite, which includes Israel and may be dominated by Jewish Supremists. If the Epstein client list is ever released we will have no way of knowing how much of it is true. We do not even know if Epstein is alive today, something worth remembering. Everyone wants justice and most of us want to see major politicians and celebrities taken down if they have been raping kids or made massive fortunes off taxpayer monies. Me, too. But much more important is can Trump succeed in forming an enduring alliance with Russia. Can he succeed in expanding and solidifying the Western Empire to include Russia as well as Canada and Greenland as part of USA. Can he establish peace in the Middle East and keep USA out of war. If Trump succeeds geopolitically, war with China won’t happen. The Western Empire will thrive as will China and the rest of the world. Do not waste any time dreaming of a Ben Franklin America because it won’t happen. And if it ever does it will arise only out of advanced technology. Incidentally, the surveillance state so many fear is already here. It was here even before the Patriot Act. There is no way anyone can stop it evolving. The best we can hope for is a reasonable comitatus that has enough respect for we the people to allow us to pursue our lives with minimal government interference. Today, that’s Trump. ABN
Censured because she disagrees with their nonsense. The left is absurd and tends to become dictatorial. Historically, leftist dictatorships have always been worse than rightist authoritarians. Surely males in female sports can openly be discussed? Not in Mills’ Maine. ABN
At the very least, Benz should be asked by interviewers if he is a Jewish Supremist. And he should be asked to disavow Jewish Supremacy if he says no. People like Benz who appear to be working both sides of the street, should be asked if they are Jewish Supremists and/or if they disavow Jewish Supremacy. This has been the standard for white males for decades, even when they show no sign of moral deficiency. ABN
U.S. President Donald Trump earlier said that “major economic development transactions with Russia” would take place. Within two hours of Trump’s statement, Putin chaired a meeting with his ministers and economic advisers on rare earth metals.
“We, by the way, would be ready to offer (joint projects with) our American partners, and when I say ‘partners,’ I mean not only administrative and governmental structures but also companies, if they showed interest in joint work,” Putin said on state TV after the meeting.
“We undoubtedly have, I want to emphasize, significantly more resources of this kind than Ukraine,” Putin added. He mentioned that a potential U.S.-Ukraine deal, opens new tab involving rare earth metals was not a concern for Russia.
Russia has the world’s fifth-largest reserves of rare earth metals, according to the U.S. Geological Survey data, after China, Brazil, India and Australia. Russia reserves are estimated at 3.8 million metric tons.
The rare earth metals are used to make magnets that turn power into motion for electric vehicles, cell phones, missile systems, and other electronics. Russia mines only 2,500 tons of concentrate a year and lacks capacity for processing.
Putin said that potential rare earth metals exploration deals could also be extended to deposits in territory in eastern Ukraine that Russia controls after three years of military action.
Putin noted that Russian companies could also supply up to 2 million tons of aluminum to the U.S. market annually if the U.S. market reopens. Russia used to provide up to 15% of U.S. aluminum imports before prohibitive duties were introduced in 2023.
This is terrific news. This should be the start of a solid, mutually beneficial relationship between USA and Russia. If cemented, this relationship would constitute the core of a Top of the World Alliance, involving USA, Russia, Europe (which ultimately cannot refuse), Japan, Canada and more. See other posts below for more on this topic. This alliance has been the worst missed great opportunity in world history. Properly fashioned, it will become the strongest and most beneficial alliance in world history. Trump and Putin are making deep game theory moves. This is how you end the war and go forward. This is an end-run around European and American intransigence. I am all but certain it is based on a true version of how the Ukraine War started, including USA’s and NATO’s demented roles. ABN
Here’s where things get interesting, and how President Trump navigates this will be epic to watch.
Vladimir Putin has a weapon the “west” cannot defend against. It’s not part of his physical military armament, it’s far more powerful. Putin has the truth as a weapon.
The western group must pretend they didn’t carry out a color revolution in Ukraine. The western group must also pretend they didn’t install Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The western group must also pretend there was not a civil war happening inside Ukraine for a decade, and the western group must pretend they didn’t try to provoke Vladimir Putin with expansions of NATO and an intentional breaking of the Minsk accords. There are other pretenses that must be maintained, but those are the top ones.
Into this grand game of pretenses comes President Donald Trump, not exactly the best pretender (by choice) and Vladimir Putin not only knows this, but he also respects this Trump attribute of honesty in problem solving.
Keep in mind, President Putin watched how President Trump dealt with the “North Korea threat” problem that was left to him by President Obama. Putin watched how Trump negotiated an exit to escalating conflict by honesty confronting China, the true hand on the puppet strings of the DPRK.
Putin saw in that North Korea geopolitical dynamic that President Trump dealt with Kim Jong-un with a brutally honest strategy that encompassed the influence of China. While Putin is more allied currently with China, he knows President Trump cuts through the gordian knot woven by western interventionists. Trump cuts through the gordian knot with honest and pragmatic policy.
As a result of this dynamic, everyone around President Trump, including the National Security Council, his National Security Advisor (Waltz), his CIA Director (Ratcliffe), and his State Dept Secretary (Rubio), all have to maintain the “western” pretenses that were/are cemented by the people and silos they replace.
The larger American government, sans President Trump, have to maintain all the aforementioned pretenses, in part because the Intelligence Community and the USA media support it, and in part because it would weaken the USA on the global stage to ever make honest admissions about our control of Ukraine. And yes, that pretending dynamic includes Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg who President Trump appointed as special envoy for Russia and Ukraine.
Vladimir Putin’s strongest weapon is the truth. Vladimir Putin also knows the auto-setting on President Trump’s psyche of problem solving, ie ‘optimal solutions’, is also centered on truth.
The proverbial $64,000 question: How does truthful President Trump deal with truthful President Putin, while all around the office of the White House are people who only know how to maintain pretenses?
That my friends, is going to be a very interesting dynamic to watch.
One way President Trump could gain back the power of not pretending is to: (1) request an immediate ceasefire; then (2) tell the CIA (Ratcliffe) to immediately withdraw all CIA operatives from Ukraine; then (3) tell Secretary Marco Rubio to pull all USAID operatives out of Ukraine; then (4) tell Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy he must hold a national election within 60 days.
If the U.S and NATO pull all of the control agents out of Ukraine and hold an election, the result will highlight the will of the Ukranian people to retain Volodymyr Zelenskyy. If Zelenskyy wins, then he is in a stronger position. If he loses, then he was never strong to begin with, and he’s the wrong person to be negotiating with.
Calling for an election in Ukraine is a radical approach because I think we all know what the outcome would be. Then again, that’s the problem with pretending, when you stop you have to accept the transparently predictable forecast.
Posted in full with permission from Sundance. I would add, very strongly, that it appears Trump is pursuing a real alliance with Russia. He is going over the heads of Europe and the lies of US diplomacy. This makes sense for many reasons provided in other posts on this site and also because Trump is simultaneously looking to annex Greenland and join Canada with USA. These are all deep game-theory moves that will, if successful, provide the strongest alliance in the world, the strongest alliance possible in this world. Europe will have to follow and join this alliance between USA and Russia. Many other northern countries, Japan etc, will also join. This would entail a major break or revision of the geopolitical Grand Chessboard game which centers on controlling Central Asia while destroying Russia, which is precisely what has been happening in Ukraine and Georgia. If Trump is successful in forming this alliance, everyone benefits — USA, Russia, Europe, Canada, Japan, Korea, etc. Putin surely can see this. The logic is strong and others will have no reasonable grounds to reject it. ABN
The article reflects on the contrasting foreign policies of Donald Trump and Joe Biden regarding Russia, particularly as Trump begins his second term. It examines Trump’s initial approach during his first term, where he sought a détente with Russia but was hindered by opposition from various factions within the U.S. government and media, collectively referred to as the “Deep State.” The narrative suggests that Biden’s administration, in contrast, has adopted a neo-Cold War stance, which has led to heightened tensions and a protracted conflict in Ukraine, contributing to a deteriorating economic situation across Europe.
As Trump resumes office, there are indications that he is aiming for a more expansive vision than merely resolving the Ukraine conflict. The article posits that Trump’s administration is moving towards a significant shift in U.S. foreign policy, possibly dismantling the existing post-World War II order. This shift includes a potential rapprochement with Russia and a reevaluation of NATO’s role in Eastern Europe, as highlighted by comments from Trump’s new defense secretary, Pete Hegseth. Hegseth’s remarks suggest a departure from Biden’s strategies, indicating that the U.S. will not support Ukraine’s NATO ambitions and that retaking occupied territories is an unrealistic goal.
Furthermore, the article discusses the immediate diplomatic efforts initiated by Trump following his phone call with Putin, marking a stark contrast to the previous administration’s approaches. Trump’s team is reportedly preparing for negotiations aimed at establishing a settlement in Ukraine, signalling a decisive shift in U.S. involvement in the conflict. This new diplomatic maneuvering suggests a desire to restore bilateral relations with Russia, which Trump argues is necessary for global stability. The piece emphasizes that the absence of Ukrainian representation at these talks reflects a fundamental change in the power dynamics at play, with Trump’s administration seemingly sidelining Ukrainian leadership in favor of direct negotiations with Russia.
In a broader context, the article also highlights a speech by J.D. Vance at the Munich Security Conference, which critiques the neoliberal order in Europe and calls for a reevaluation of European security priorities. Vance’s remarks emphasize the internal challenges facing democracies in Europe, arguing that the retreat from fundamental democratic values poses a greater threat than external actors like Russia. His speech resonates with Trump’s philosophy of prioritizing American interests while encouraging European allies to take more responsibility for their security. Overall, the article portrays a moment of significant geopolitical transition, with Trump’s return to power potentially reshaping U.S. relations with Russia and altering the existing global order.
The above is an AI summary of a longer article. It was provided by the website the article is posted on. I strongly agree with the highlighted positions. As stated many times over many years, I see mutually beneficial relations with Russia as paramount to sane politics, both global and domestic. This is a KOBK world, and probably always will be unless AI or something even more wonderful comes along (aliens or God). A strong alliance between Russia, Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, NZ, Japan, Korea, Mongolia and other Central Asian nations will bring about a more peaceful and prosperous world. Other nations can join this Top of the World alliance as appropriate. Today, we are witnessing a change in the comitatus, or faction, that governs USA and dominates the West. So far, I see this as a good change and I see Trump’s emphasis on good relations with Russia as a major part of this power shift. A Top of the World alliance would be centered on the West and Western values. Nations like Japan and Korea should be able to ally very easily. They need protection from China and have already learned how to cooperate with the West. ABN
The Kremlin seems to be surprised at how quickly the American president Donald Trump made concessions his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, just before negotiations began to end the Moscow war in Ukraine, said CNN Vladimir Milov, a former deputy minister of Russian energy.
The Kremlin expected Trump to set certain conditions for Russia, and Moscow “was preparing some sort of offer here and there to do what they call a deal ”, said Vladimir Milov, a former adviser to the late Russian opposition leader. Aleksei Navalnii.
Speaking from exile in Vilnius, Milov claims that, based on what he heard, “everyone in Moscow is totally amazed now that all the concessions they wanted have been made, even before the start of negotiations”.
“This is a shocking result, even by Vladimir Putin’s standards”, Milov commented, according to the source quoted by News.ro.
The long-term relationship between Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenski was blown up this week.
The above is translated from Romanian, so grain of salt on that and it is hearsay, so a bit more salt. It does sound like Trump, though. There are many stories of him making very generous offers, which if not accepted will become much less generous quickly. My sense is this is a good start to ending the war and forming real-world mutually beneficial relationships with Russia, which geopolitically is of the greatest importance to USA, Russia, and Europe, not to mention Ukraine.

The pilot responsible for crashing a Delta plane upside down at the Toronto Pearson International Airport on February 17, 2025, has been identified as 26-year-old First Officer Kendal Swanson.
A beauty pageant winner from Minnesota, Swanson had only completed her training in April and had logged fewer than 1,500 flight hours at the time of the incident.
The more experienced captain, James Henneman, was managing communications during the crash while Swanson piloted.
No one should want to be put in a job they are not able to do. Swanson should not have wanted this and should have refused to attempt the landing, especially considering the stormy conditions. DEI fails at every level. And it especially fails at the level of the person who is promoted above their skill level. Swanson got lucky as no one died but the risk she took should be a warning to her for the rest of her life and to all of us that ideologies like DEI are not just stupid and wrong but extremely dangerous. Under Biden and his ilk we have been betting our entire nation and civilization on DEI. That kind of thinking must go. We will destroy USA and the West if we persist and then, even immigrants will have nowhere to go. ABN
UPDATE: Thanks to pimacanyon for providing the video below in his comment, which is well-worth reading. The video is a sort of rebuttal of my post above, which I am going to leave up since the public has a right to know what happened and if they don’t tell us even the basics, we are going to talk anyway. If Swanson didn’t land the plane, who did? If she was ‘qualified’ in some way or other, she was also only minimally experienced, so why did the pilot have her land the plane in such bad weather? I have seen a video analysis of the landing which claims whoever landed the plane failed to do a mandatory maneuver, which raises the plane’s nose, thus causing the aircraft to slam onto to the runway and overturn. When was the last time we saw a plane slam onto a runway and overturn like that? ABN
For years, thousands of Americans who suffered debilitating side effects after getting the Covid vaccine were told there was no evidence the shot was linked.
Some were branded antivaxxers, others told their symptoms were imagined or related to other conditions, like long Covid.
On Wednesday, a team from Yale University known for their rigorous work revealed the mRNA shots can cause a previously unknown condition known as ‘post-vaccination syndrome.’
The syndrome appears to cause brain fog, dizziness, tinnitus, extreme fatigue and biological changes to patients’ immune systems.
Dr Akiko Iwasaki, the lead researcher behind the paper, told DailyMail.com she understands her findings could be seen as controversial. But she wants patients to know her team will keep studying to bring them ‘better transparency and safer vaccines.’
Dr Iwasaki told this website: ‘For patients who are suffering from post-vaccination syndrome, we want them to know that we see you, we listen, and we will keep on doing more research in this area so that this condition can be recognized, and better medical care can be provided.’
Readers of this site knew before the vaxxes even came out that they were going to be dubious at best. There were many warnings and as they were introduced to the public, there was zero evidence the vaxxes were ‘safe and effective’. Since early 2021, after full rollout, we have provided many posts detailing the dangers and side effects of the covid vaxxes. There is good evidence as many as 17 million people worldwide died due to the covid vaxxes. Given their reproductive harm and official insistence that children and young adults get the vaxxes, it appears likely they are actually bioweapons directed, principally, against Western civilization; yet another vector of unrestricted warfare against the West.

If it is illegal to question the Holocaust in any Western nation, it behooves all of us in the West to question the Holocaust. The West is as nothing without freedom of inquiry, freedom of speech. ABN
This is the exact right move because it creates a strong alliance among we the people of the West. It’s a game theory move in that Vance draws a line which all but forces people to choose sides. It is a direct assertion of fundamental American values, calling for ‘free expression’ through reason and peace. To disagree is to marginalize yourself. Free speech is also a European value but it has been codified and emphasized less than in USA. Vance is proposing a very large win-win deal with the entire Western world. He is not wielding a military club, but a thoughtful one that aligns our populations at an elemental level. ABN
This is moralistic garbage, which is unfortunately the rhetorical currency of the globalists because they have nothing else to say.
For three years, President Trump and I have made two simple arguments: first, the war wouldn’t have started if President Trump was in office; second, that neither Europe, nor the Biden administration, nor the Ukrainians had any pathway to victory. This was true three years ago, it was true two years ago, it was true last year, and it is true today.
And for three years, the concerns of people who were obviously right were ignored. What is Niall’s actual plan for Ukraine? Another aid package? Is he aware of the reality on the ground, of the numerical advantage of the Russians, of the depleted stock of the Europeans or their even more depleted industrial base?
Instead, he quotes from a book about George HW Bush from a different historical period and a different conflict. That’s another currency of these people: reliance on irrelevant history.
President Trump is dealing with reality, which means dealing with facts. And here are some facts:
Number one, while our Western European allies’ security has benefitted greatly from the generosity of the United States, they pursue domestic policies (on migration and censorship) that offend the sensibilities of most Americans and defense policies that assume continued over-reliance.
Number two, Russians have a massive numerical advantage in manpower and weapons in Ukraine, and that advantage will persist regardless of further Western aid packages. Again, the aid is *currently* flowing.
Number three, the United States retains substantial leverage over both parties to the conflict.
Number four, ending the conflict requires talking to the people involved in starting it and maintaining it.
Number five, the conflict has placed–and continues to place–stress on tools of American statecraft, from military stockpiles to sanctions (and so much else). We believe the continued conflict is bad for Russia, bad for Ukraine, and bad for Europe. But most importantly, it is bad for the United States.
Given the above facts, we must pursue peace, and we must pursue it now. President Trump ran on this, he won on this, and he is right about this. It is lazy, ahistorical nonsense to attack as “appeasement” every acknowledgment that America’s interest must account for the realities of the conflict.
That interest–not moralisms or historical illiteracy–will guide President Trump’s policy in the weeks to come.
I deeply hope Vance means what he says and says what he means. He is an excellent speaker, a talented politician, and I would like to support him. The worry is he may be controlled—like so many others—by powers we cannot easily see. Thune stepped up to do as he promised in getting Trump’s cabinet members approved. Only time will tell what Vance is made of. ABN
