Trump ceases offensive cyberoperations against Russia

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Donald Trump has signaled both publicly and privately that he no longer considers Russia a major cyber threat to US national security and critical infrastructure.

On Sunday night, it was reported that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered US Cyber Command to cease all offensive cyberoperations against Russia.  

Critics warn the policy reversal appears to be driven by the administration’s warming relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, as Trump moves to realign U.S. foreign policy in a way that increasingly takes into consideration Moscow’s interests.

Former officials acknowledge that it is common for civilian leaders to pause military operations during sensitive diplomatic negotiations to avoid derailing delicate discussions.

The big prize is end the Ukraine War, form amicable alliance with Russia, bring Europe and others into a major northern, or Top of The World, alliance which includes Russia as a major partner. This will overthrow Zbigniew Brzezinski’s failed Grand Chessboard strategy aimed at destroying Russia. This is realpolitik and the smartest thing Trump can do geopolitically. If successful many decades of peace and prosperity will follow. ABN

The crucial – and basic – reason behind the Ukraine War — Paul Weston

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The only person who needs to learn something is you, Julia. Here is the crucial – and basic – reason behind the war. Russia moors its Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, Crimea, and has done so for 300 years. The engineering of NATO membership for Ukraine began at the NATO Bucharest Summit of 2008. If successful, this meant US warships moored in Sevastopol, something Russia could never accept, just as America would never accept Chinese warships moored in Pearl Harbour.

In addition, Sevastopol is Russia’s only warm-water port. All the rest freeze in the winter, rendering the Russian Navy ice-bound and vulnerable/useless. Clearly, CLEARLY, Russia could not accept losing Sevastopol. And thus – post Bucharest 2008 – began the events leading to Maidan 2014, Russia seizing Crimea and the war in 2022.  

Another crucial point, Julia, is your apparent ignorance as to how the war is going. It was actually over within weeks of it starting, see maps below. By June 2022 Russia had seized control of eastern Ukraine, which is all it wanted because it provided a land bridge to Sevastopol and Crimea. The Russians dug-in behind five defensive lines and have remained there ever since even as brave Ukrainian soldiers were killed in their hundreds-of-thousands trying to breach the lines whilst wicked journalists in the West lied about Ukrainian successes and Russian defeats. You are part of this wicked, criminal lie, Julia. Look at the two maps below, June 2022 and Feb 2025. The maps don’t lie, Julia, unlike you.

This piece is a response to a foolish person but reads well and summarizes the situation very well. It is maddening to see so many Europeans, and others, acting as if something else had happened or were happening. Russia’s position is simple KOBK game theory — they have no choice; they cannot lose their base on the Black Sea. Ukraine only has its post 1991 borders because Khrushchev redrew them to include large parts of Russia in the 1960s, if memory serves. The entire war is NATO aggression and should never have happened. It’s beastly, stupid, disgusting. So many dead for no reason. I see Trump as trying to form an alliance with Russia based on the truth about Ukraine and the truth about Russia’s need to no longer be constantly attacked based on Zbigniew Brzezinski’s wrong-headed Grand Chessboard theory.

Summary of Trump administration so far

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The Trump administration has some serious people doing extraordinarily important work.  The CIA team are doing something that few will ever fathom, and when the details surface they will hopefully get praise.

The State Dept team, obviously working closely with the CIA team, are likewise doing exceptional groundwork.

The DNI group (domestic IC) and DHS team are also laying the groundwork for major changes and confronting decades of institutional wrongdoing.  Praise and appreciation is well warranted.

The econ team is first-in-class, and the emissaries are working the Economic Security and National Security dynamic.  These enmesh with other operations and DJT/Lutnick are brilliantly coordinating a smooth outflow of positive global influence.

However, don’t expect the DOJ/FBI silos to be anything except a hot mess.  They have all the support needed, but the silo heads have no idea how to get their “arms around” the problems.  The DOJ/FBI reform agenda is going nowhere.

Celebrate all the success in the areas where serious people are operating strategically.  But if you were looking for DOJ/FBI structural silo changes, that ain’t happening.  Sorry, wrong leadership choice there.

USA–Russia alliance; the Devil’s in the details

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

…CEASEFIRE- In order for the larger conflict to be resolved, there first needs to be a ceasefire – a cessation of hostilities.  President Trump and President Putin have discussed this exact point.  President Trump has also engaged President Zelenskyy on this issue; however, Zelenskyy is far less willing to end the physical hostility.

The strange assumption that looms in the background, the visibility of something you can see on the face of Trump when he talks about it, is that Zelenskyy fears the ceasefire more than he fears losing thousands more Ukrainians in the bloodshed.  This is a current dynamic that needs increased scrutiny, because right now not enough people are noticing. Zelenskyy really seems to fear a ceasefire.

CTH has long outlined the greatest fear amid the EU/NATO/WEF collective, is that somehow the United States and Russia will form a strategic alliance.  In fact, Marco Rubio stunningly shared that public goal of President Trump in his initial remarks after meeting his counterpart, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

Ukraine is what Russia would have become if Putin had not banished and controlled the Jewish oligarchs who wanted to dismember Russia, and who still control much of what is left of Ukraine, which has been thoroughly dismembered. Much of Europe wants to dismember Russia as do many American politicians. The dismemberment of Russia and Ukraine are clearly connected. Let’s say European oligarchs, whether they are Jewish or not, fear Russia and want to dismember it. In the past Western European oligarchs feared Germany and still do today, though Germany is now weak compared to its past. Western European oligarchs engineered WW1 and WW2 principally to destroy Germany. They feared Germany itself and also an alliance between Germany and Russia, which would be formidable at any time. Nowadays, they fear an alliance between USA and Russia. A major theme running through all of this is Jewish Supremacy, which includes hatred of white people and the collective West. It also appears to explain invasion levels of immigration throughout the West. A patriotic, sensible, autochthonous leader in the West could not possibly support replacement level immigration. Zelensky, who is Jewish, has always appeared to represent Jewish Supremist interests in Ukraine, never Ukrainian interests. He has succeeded, from a Jewish Supremist point of view, in killing virtually all of Ukraine’s young males, while also driving half the population out of the country. Is Zelensky a Jewish Supremist? Someone should ask him. It is an entirely fair question. ABN

The key to understand Bondi, is to accept and understand the role of performative ops in the management of public perception

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

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

The other side of Mike Benz — Simon Goddek

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

All conservatives are screaming about taking down the Deep State—yet they’re still falling for the shameless fraud that is Mike Benz.

To be fair, @sparklingruby was right from the start and we’ve got all the evidence for an epic thread.

Fuck the Deep State. Fuck foreign agents.

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

Russia’s Putin outlines potential aluminium, rare earth deals with the US

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

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

Analysis of Ukraine War and Trump’s options

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

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

‘Let’s have free expression all over the Western World. That is the path to strong alliances in Europe’ — JD Vance

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

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

JD Vance on US Ukraine policy; a reply to Niall Ferguson

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

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.

And thank God for that.

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

‘I love Ukraine, but Zelenskyy has done a terrible job, his Country is shattered, and MILLIONS have unnecessarily died’ — Donald Trump

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Think of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn’t be won, that never had to start, but a War that he, without the U.S. and “TRUMP,” will never be able to settle. The United States has spent $200 Billion Dollars more than Europe, and Europe’s money is guaranteed, while the United States will get nothing back. Why didn’t Sleepy Joe Biden demand Equalization, in that this War is far more important to Europe than it is to us — We have a big, beautiful Ocean as separation. On top of this, Zelenskyy admits that half of the money we sent him is “MISSING.” He refuses to have Elections, is very low in Ukrainian Polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden “like a fiddle.” A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left. In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the War with Russia, something all admit only “TRUMP,” and the Trump Administration, can do. Biden never tried, Europe has failed to bring Peace, and Zelenskyy probably wants to keep the “gravy train” going. I love Ukraine, but Zelenskyy has done a terrible job, his Country is shattered, and MILLIONS have unnecessarily died – And so it continues…..

A prosperous and peaceful world depends on a successful northern alliance between USA, Russia, Europe, Japan, Korea, Canada, Mongolia and anyone else who wants to join and is acceptable. This could be called the ‘Top of the World Alliance’. Its core is Western civilization. The game-theory and KOBK importance of this alliance is so obvious it proves itself. I hope this is where Trump is going and I hope he succeeds. For the moment, Europe can go fuck itself, they have been so stupid. At the end of the day, a Top of the World Alliance benefits all its partners as well as all other nations and regions on earth. Only this alliance is capable of world leadership while fostering peaceful global development. ABN

Assange on Jewish Supremacism

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The right term is Jewish Supremacism. An honest, moral Jew or Israeli is not included in the danger of Jewish Supremacy. What are the ratios of one to the other? That is a separate question. The ratio is probably high enough that all Jews in power or who seek power should be morally required to disavow Jewish Supremacy in any form. Not sure how this affects the Jewish religion today, which is based on the ‘chosenness’ of ancient Israelites. But this should be discussed and openly addressed by all Jews in the world today insofar as their public actions may be affected by their reasoning on this. With savage irony, it does appear that genetically, modern Palestinians are the world’s closest descendants of ancient Israelites. ABM

Trump signs bombshell executive order to make himself the most powerful president in history as he enacts controversial Constitutional theory

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Donald Trump has signed an executive order that could make him the most powerful president in history by using an obscure Constitutional theory to enact his vision of presidential authority. 

The new order seeks to ‘reign in independent agencies’ by seizing various departments that normally act in accordance with Congress and bring them under control of the executive branch in the White House. 

The order also states that the president and attorney general will interpret the law, leaving Trump free from Congressional and judicial oversight.  

Observers suggest that Trump is using unitary executive theory which grants the president a wide swath of authority. 

The conservative theory argues that Article II of the U.S. Constitution, which delineates presidential powers, gives the president sole authority over all the executive branch’s officials and employees. 

The unitary executive theory also claims the president has robust powers to override Congressional oversight on restrictions such as the ability to fire the heads of independent agencies. 

Trump’s new executive order grants him power over various agencies such as The Federal Communications Commission, the Federal Trade Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Trump’s first term proved the need for something like this. I support a strong presidency as long as Trump is in charge and as long as he does what needs to be done — clean the corruption, treason and woke rot out of the government. The NSA should already have detailed information on the gigantic parasite which has infested our government and nation. Whether Trump eradicates this parasite quietly or openly with fanfare, I do not care. I just want it gone. We live in an age of very rapid technological development. I believe it is best to face it straight on and use technology for the best as defined by American law and Western values. I trust Trump to be able to do this more than any other president in living memory. The choice before our nation today is do-or-die, as I see it. ABN
