‘Just completed my two hour call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. I believe it went very well’ — Trump

Just completed my two hour call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. I believe it went very well. Russia and Ukraine will immediately start negotiations toward a Ceasefire and, more importantly, an END to the War. The conditions for that will be negotiated between the two parties, as it can only be, because they know details of a negotiation that nobody else would be aware of. The tone and spirit of the conversation were excellent. If it wasn’t, I would say so now, rather than later. Russia wants to do largescale TRADE with the United States when this catastrophic “bloodbath” is over, and I agree. There is a tremendous opportunity for Russia to create massive amounts of jobs and wealth. Its potential is UNLIMITED. Likewise, Ukraine can be a great beneficiary on Trade, in the process of rebuilding its Country. Negotiations between Russia and Ukraine will begin immediately. I have so informed President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, of Ukraine, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, President Emmanuel Macron, of France, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, of Italy, Chancellor Friedrich Merz, of Germany, and President Alexander Stubb, of Finland, during a call with me, immediately after the call with President Putin. The Vatican, as represented by the Pope, has stated that it would be very interested in hosting the negotiations. Let the process begin!

‘Trump just neutralized all hostile Islamic activity’ — Chanel Rion

I lost touch with Chanel for a time. Now that I have reconnected, I am very impressed with her analyses. Trump has boldly moved away from war and ideology and replaced them with the connective tissue of peace and prosperity. He is playing the game beautifully and at a level not touched before in the Middle East. If he can fold Iran into this and sideline Israeli hardliners and supremists, he will have created an example the rest of the world may very well follow. As we move into a new age of extremely powerful technology, the old ways of battling for land and money would do well to leave the stage. When humans are able to work much less and spend more time in real thought, they almost all become better people. Advanced robotics will allow that. It is very good that Trump is pursuing peace and prosperity as core values for the future. ABN

The heart of Trump’s diplomatic effort in Gaza

———-

TPS = the Transnational Private Sector or global corporate power, which is largely independent from government. GCC = Gulf Cooperation Council. The real situation appears to be Trump has sidelined Israel to cement trade and political relations with the GCC and others in the region. He appears to be doing something similar with Russia by going over Zelensky’s head while also largely ignoring European warmongers. I strongly approve of these policies and hope Trump succeeds with them. His world trade reset also shares this general outline of going to a higher level to completely rearrange lower-level relationships. ABN

Biden admin’s AG Merrick Garland was made AG only to prepare Ketanji Brown-Jackson to be seated on SCOTUS

There has been a lot of discussion about who was running the Biden administration against the backdrop of numerous revelations about his cognitive incapacity while in office.  However, one key point keeps being overlooked about the DOJ during his tenure.

Merrick Garland was not selected to be Joe Biden’s Attorney General because the crew in control of the events wanted Merrick Garland as Attorney General.  Garland was removed from his position as DC Circuit Court Justice in order to make room for Ketanji Brown-Jackson to take Garland’s place, get Senate confirmed and then await the resignation of Supreme Court Justice Stephen Bryer. {GO DEEP}

As a standalone Supreme Court nominee, Judge Ketanji Brown-Jackson would have been a radical pick.  Judge Brown-Jackson was a known activist in the DC District Court; however, by removing Garland as chief circuit justice and replacing him with KBJ, who needed Senate confirmation as chief circuit justice, she could get through a later Senate confirmation easier and then sit on the Supreme Court for thirty years.  Garland was removed to make room for KBJ.  It was a strategy.

Garland was a U.S. Attorney General in name only.  The actual lead of the DOJ was from Obama’s crew, Deputy AG Lisa Monaco.

Major breakthrough on nuclear deal with Iran imminent

Trump says US close to a nuclear deal with Iran

DUBAI (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday that the United States was getting very close to securing a nuclear deal with Iran, and Tehran had “sort of” agreed to the terms.

“We’re in very serious negotiations with Iran for long-term peace,” Trump said on a tour of the Gulf, according to a shared pool report by AFP.

“We’re getting close to maybe doing a deal without having to do this… there (are) two steps to doing this, there is a very, very nice step and there is the violent step, but I don’t want to do it the second way,” he said.

Top Iranian official says Tehran would forgo highly enriched uranium in nuclear deal with Trump

Iran is ready to sign a nuclear deal with certain conditions with President Donald Trump in exchange for lifting economic sanctions, a top adviser to Iran’s supreme leader told NBC News on Wednesday. 

Ali Shamkhani, a top political, military and nuclear adviser to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is one of the most senior Iranian officials to speak publicly about the ongoing discussions. 

He said Iran would commit to never making nuclear weapons, getting rid of its stockpiles of highly enriched uranium which can be weaponized, agree to enrich uranium only to the lower levels needed for civilian use, and allow international inspectors to supervise the process, in exchange for the immediate lifting of all economic sanctions on Iran.

Asked if Iran would agree to sign an agreement today if those conditions were met, Shamkhani said, “Yes.”

This indicates Iran is stepping down from any pretention of being hegemon in the Middle East. This is a fundamental aspect of control of the Middle East shifting to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), away from either Iran or Israel. Trump has almost succeeded in helping raise the entire region above the fray, moving it toward at least better conditions if not a lasting peace. ABN

Candace Owens life threatened by ‘deranged zionist’; case details sketchy

Internet sleuths, I need your help:

In September of last year following my viral debate with Rabbi Shmuley, my family endured a series of attacks led by deranged zionists.

Among many other things, on the 21st of that month, we were contacted by the FBI and informed that their department had “apprehended a suspect” in relation to a crime involving a threat against me, but that they were unable to provide any further details because the “investigation was ongoing”.
We were obviously confused. How could the DOJ move to arrest and charge someone but keep the target of the crime in the dark regarding any details? 

🧵We heard nothing for six months until in March the FBI called again. We were informed we would be receiving a victim packet in the mail. The packet arrived in early April. This time we were given a case number and a victim representative, but when we went onto the corresponding website— once again, no details were provided in regards to the case. Here are the photos of the victim packets the FBI sent us…

The perp appears to be a Jewish Supremist as well as a ‘deranged zionist’. Candace is lucky she was not harmed. I know for a definite fact some of these types will attack their unsuspecting victims by pretending to be friends, then poisoning them, lobotomizing them, doing sensory damage to them. I have intimate personal knowledge of these sorts of attacks. They can be aimed at perceived enemies like Candace, who merely speak their minds. Or, more often, they are aimed at talented young people, especially boys and young men, who the Supremists believe are potential threats and/or whom they are simply jealous of. Many know about the rise of Jewish Supremacy in the West through nepotism and cheating. That’s the bright side. The dark side is violence directed at talented young people; perceived rivals removed before they take their rightful places in the world. Many have asked as the West declines into oblivion, ‘Where are the men? Why don’t they stand up and fight back?’ The answer is the strongest of them have been disabled. One Jewish informant told me, ‘We don’t like to kill them. It’s safer and more effective to disable them, to maim them. They will still be leaders but will lead others into despair and failure, rather than oppose us’. This is an ancient form of warfare conducted through infiltration and covert violence. ABN

Trump defines NEW Middle East policy based on the heritages of the nations in the region and not on ‘Western intervention, neocons or liberal nonprofits’

This is a very strong statement. I have posted many indications in the past few weeks that this is what was coming. Trump has risen above the fray to deal with actual cultural, economic and geographic realities of the region. This should wipe out Israel’s fanatical desire to be the region’s sole hegemon. I see Trump trying to do similar with Russia/Ukraine, Europe and USA. And with world trade. This is what I voted for. ABN

Full speech:

Iran has stepped down as a major player — Evan X

Iran’s geopolitical standing has just undergone a seismic shift in Middle East.

For decades, it has wielded outsized influence in the region, projecting power through the axis of resistance, arguably the most powerful proxies in recent existence.

This network of proxies, costing Iran an estimated $10 billion annually, delivered soft power through ideological narratives and hard power through militia operations, positioning Iran as a de facto hegemon.

And the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of global oil flows, amplified this leverage, as Iran’s threats to seal the chokepoint deterred direct aggression.

___

Abandoning the Axis was a pragmatic bet. BRICS summits and GCC diplomacy offered Iran an exit strategy.

These options meant Iran’s integration into a multipolar order, allowing it to deviate off the collision course it was destined to play out against Israel,

which would have fulfilled the entirety of the neocon chapter in the Middle East.

But instead, BRICS & the GCC indicated to Iran that the cost of its proxies- both financially and diplomatically,

outweighed their returns, as regional convergence favored de-escalation over proxy wars.

This pivot from Iran completely reshaped its geopolitical standing, trading proxy-power influence for pragmatic survival.

The loss of proxies has reduced Iran’s regional clout, but alignment with China and the GCC has unlocked economic lifelines.

In other words, Iran has stepped down as a major player.

Its new position comes at a cost.

A compromised autonomy.

Caught between TPS containment and hegemon vassalization by China, Russia and the GCC.

This downgrade is evident in Iran’s reduced leverage in the region. Its proxy decline has led to a heavy retraction of influence across the levant.

—-

In saying that, I think Iran played the correct dominant strategy. It has very effectively deviated off a destructive path and deepened relations with the GCC and BRICS alignment.

Positive-sum moves in a multipolar world.

Trump signals he will leave Israel in the dust if it won’t cooperate in ending the fighting

US President Donald Trump seems to think Israel could ruin his big trip to the Middle East, and it’s causing trouble. Trump appears to want the Middle East to have a respite from war and mass starvation during his trip to the oil-rich Gulf starting on Tuesday. He is signaling that he can leave Israel in the dust if it doesn’t go along for the ride.

Trump’s May 2017 visit to the kingdom during his first term. AFP

“Rift is too strong of a word, but frustration is bubbling,” a senior western official in the region told Middle East Eye.

Several sensitive dossiers are jostling together ahead of Trump’s visit that are irking Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, analysts and diplomats say.

The most consequential file for Trump is the ongoing nuclear talks with Iran, which US Vice President JD Vance said this week have been “so far, so good”.

For months, Trump has scorned Netanyahu on the talks as his closest media allies attack “Mossad agents” trying to hamstring the US leader. By his own admission, Trump even resisted Israeli pressure to launch a preemptive attack on the Islamic Republic.

Chapter 8: Ralph Eberhart and NORAD — Kevin Ryan

…Reasons to Suspect Eberhart

Investigation of NORAD and its commander Eberhart is warranted, apart from the evidence for lying to Congress. Additional reasons to focus on Eberhart include the following nine facts.

  1. As Commander in Chief of the U.S. Space Command (CINCSPACE), Eberhart was responsible for setting Infocon levels.[19] Infocon is an alert system that defends against attacks on communications networks within the DOD. Just 12 hours before the 9/11 attacks, an order was given to lower Infocon to its least protective level.[20] Setting Infocon at a lower level made it easier for people to hack into or compromise the DOD computer networks, including the air defense system.[21]
  2. As both CINCSPACE and Commander in Chief of NORAD (CINCNORAD), Eberhart was in charge of many of the highly coincidental military exercises (i.e. war games) that were going on that morning. 
  3. Eberhart did nothing effective in response to the 9/11 hijackings, despite being present in the military’s teleconference as those hijackings were in progress. He did not order the scrambling of jets, he did not order an escort for Air Force One, and he did not provide leadership.  
  4. Eberhart also failed to implement military control over U.S. airspace until well after the attacks were over. Although it was his prerogative to do so, Eberhart did not implement SCATANA, the process of assuming military control over the U.S. airspace, until an hour after the last plane had been destroyed. Eberhart later said that he had waited until it finally became “obvious” to him that a coordinated terrorist attack was underway.[22] He told the 9/11 Commission that, although people were telling him to take control of the airspace earlier, he didn’t feel that the military could “provide traffic de-confliction like the FAA has.”[23]
  5. In the middle of the 9/11 attacks, Eberhart decided to drive between Peterson Air Force Base and NORAD’s Cheyenne Mountain Operations Center (CMOC). Normally this 12-mile drive takes 30 minutes but it took Eberhart between 45 minutes and an hour to make the drive that morning. No reason was ever given (or requested) for why Eberhart did not fly directly to CMOC from Peterson, making use of the Cheyenne Mountain helicopter port. Eberhart made conflicting statements about his reasons for making this trip, saying that he stayed for a while at Peterson because he “did not want to lose communication.”[24] Nevertheless, Eberhart lost communication at the most important time by leaving at approximately 9:30 am (EST), when two of the hijacked planes were still flying wildly off-course. His reason for doing this was that things had “quieted down.”[25]
  6. While on his way to the CMOC he was in the U.S. military’s air threat call via cell phone. In this call, at 9:49 am, Eberhart “directed all air sovereignty aircraft to battle stations, fully armed.”[26] Although this might sound like decisive action, the command apparently grounded all interceptor jets that had not yet taken off due to the fact that “battle stations” is a grounded status. Other military leaders later gave orders to actually scramble the jets. And despite his involvement, Eberhart portrayed himself as being out of the loop entirely. For example, he told the 9/11 Commission that he had “no knowledge of the circumstances that initiated the scramble” of fighter jets from Langley AFB and that he had just “recently” been made aware that it happened (in March 2004).[27]
  7. Eberhart failed to explain the multiple changes in the account of 9/11 that were given by NORAD. In fact, he seemed to tell his staff to change the NORAD timeline as much as was needed in order to prevent further questioning about the military’s performance.[28]
  8. For whatever reasons, Eberhart also gave false information about the NORAD response to others. General Richard Myers, acting CJCS that morning, said that Eberhart told him there were “several hijack codes in the system.” Yet none of the four planes had squawked the hijack code on 9/11 and therefore it is not clear how such codes could have been in the system.[29]
  9. NORAD failed to cooperate with the 9/11 Commission. Even as late as March 2004, the Commission was struggling to get basic documents about 9/11 performance from Eberhart’s organization.[30] In some cases, such as with the after-action reports that follow all military actions, the Commission never received the NORAD documents. 

Of all these concerns, it is the military exercises that NORAD was conducting on 9/11 that have drawn the most attention from concerned citizens. When questioned about them, Eberhart claimed that the impact of the 9/11 exercises on NORAD’s response was that they “at most cost us 30 seconds.”[31] That was clearly not the case.

This is an excerpt from a longer article. If you are unfamiliar with 9/11 details of this nature, be sure to read the whole article linked above. 9/11 is another USA official myth that many are aware is profoundly false. Exposure of this myth seems to be following the arc of the JFK exposure. A few drips, a few more drips, until it ‘all’ comes out 60 years later, all meaning the final layer of moribund coverup after all crucial evidence has been destroyed. From a conspiracy POV, the strongest evidence of both JFK and 9/11 points to Israeli actors working with CIA actors, if not controlling the entirety of both operations, for the benefit of Israel. ABN
