Stark new details have emerged of Vladimir Putin‘s poisoning laboratories where he hones toxic substances to kill his enemies.
Experiments are conducted on humans in a sprawling network of secretive structures highlighting the evil underpinning his repressive rule.
Investigative outlet Proekt revealed a staggering 3,500 people are employed on the Putin regime’s poison programmes.
Among the operations based on deadly toxins from this warped empire were the 2018 Novichok attack on ex-GRU spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in the UK – and later poisoning of Putin political foe Alexei Navalny.
At the network’s centre is a little-known scientific hub in Moscow called Signal, created on Putin’s direct order in 2010.
According to leaked staffing data, the 500-strong centre is capable of synthesising deadly toxins, studying how to evade detection, testing substances on animals and humans, developing delivery systems and ‘gene editing.’
The sinister institute is run by a mix of senior scientists and security officials – including a former FSB officer – with reported links to operatives involved in high-profile poisonings.
The unashamed aim, according to internal writings, is to determine how best to ‘destroy or disable enemy personnel.’
No sources cited for this article, but I am posting it because it highlights poison and its covert uses. A good example of a probable covert use of poisons or targeted energy weapons against a prominent figure is Donald Trump. No way to know for certain but he appears to have lost touch with reality. When someone is poisoned or zapped with energy frequencies — 1) they will go off the rails in an exaggerated version of their former self; or 2) become subdued, shy, depressed and abandon their former life role. Trump looks to me like victim type #1. He himself appears to be oblivious to what he is doing, how outrageously he is conducting himself and USA policy. This is classic behavior resulting from some types of lobotomy, chemical or otherwise, and many kinds of drugs which interfere with normal forebrain monitoring of behavior and memory. Whether Trump is a victim of this or not, and I do believe we all must seriously consider this possibility, poison and other weapons are commonly used by governments and powerful groups to disable their perceived rivals. USA and the West has already been taken over by a small army of covert operators who direct their attacks against perceived enemies or people who may be blocking their grab for ever more power. This kind of civilizational assault is a form of ‘silent terrorism’. It is silent because it harms not just the direct victim but their entire community. Driving Trump crazy will do far more harm to MAGA, conservatives and traditional Westerners than unaliving him. That is a conspicuous example. When your next door neighbor, colleague or family member suddenly goes off the rails, keep in mind they may be victims of covert attacks. ABN
Many people have requested that I outline some context on the Iran conflict; so, here it is.
What follows is my own researched perspective on the challenge that President Trump is facing. I anticipate the non-interventionists will not be happy with it, and also the Israel First crowd will not like the brutal pragmatism of it. Alas, having spent a great deal of time watching things unfold, here’s my take.
Start with this question: Considering all the years the debate over Iran’s nuclear ambitions has persisted, why haven’t its strongest allies, China and Russia, ever provided Iran with a nuclear weapon?
Now, before anyone jumps into the nuclear non-proliferation perspective, let me remind you we are not going to pretend things here. You can pretend that Beijing didn’t give the DPRK nuclear weapons by pretending that North Korea isn’t a proxy province of China. Or you can stop pretending. The choice is yours!
So, what’s different? Well, in the DPRK example, Beijing holds the control mechanism. For Iran, giving religious fanatics a nuclear weapon would be tantamount to giving the Muslim Brotherhood the ability to start World War III.
As recently noted, Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman urged President Trump not to back down from this moment of consequence and to eliminate the Iranian threat once and for all. MbS is about as close to a Middle East pragmatist as you can find. In response, a desperate British Prime Minister Keir Starmer rushed to Saudi Arabia hoping to change the position of MbS. Great Britain is almost out of fuel.
That’s a good place to start looking at the regional perspectives.

It’s possible Trump has lost his mind, is being psychologically mind-controlled, or is being mind-controlled through drugs or targeted energy weapons. It’s also possible he is doing controlled trolling on his own. Trump has criticized the Pope and the Pope has criticized him for posting the picture above. My uneducated guess is Trump has been drugged and/or targeted by some kind of energy weapon. His enemies may even know a wavelength that is tailored to work especially well on him by locking him into a trance subservient to them while also making him look crazy. That combination gives his enemies everything they want (WAR) while causing the world to blame Trump more than them. ABN

Among the many reasons Trump appears to be losing touch with reality, targeted energy weapons, even subtle poisons, could be as much to blame as blackmail or threats against him and his family. I doubt he is the victim of only his own hubris. The stakes are very high and the forces controlling him will stop at nothing. His smartest move might be to go into some form of hiding; a place from which he can communicate and also be left alone long enough to clear his mind and body of whatever thoughts or weaponry is harming him. Saving himself may save USA but not his family, who will remain vulnerable; that’s how fraught the situation is for him. Trump is wrangling with KOBK forces; Kill-Or-Be-Killed. What is happening to him can happen to any leader, but most of all to the most powerful leader in the world, President of USA. When people suddenly go crazy and piss everyone off, including those who had been closest to them, it is always important to consider the kinds of mind-warping weaponry that might be being used against them. Anyone with street smarts knows how common roofies, poison, knives and violent crime is. It’s no different at the top of global power. Up there, the stakes are higher and the weapons better, but the hearts of those people are no different from violent criminals on any city street. ABN

Asia is collectively rejecting the Israeli-American War against Iran and preparing for the post-American era in the Eastern Hemisphere.
Japanese crude oil tankers are heading east toward the Strait of Hormuz. These vessels are assembling with others at the entrance to the waterway during the ceasefire between the United States and Iran.
Meanwhile, Republic of Korea (ROK) Foreign Minister Cho Hyun is sending a special envoy to Iran to discuss bilateral concerns between the ROK and Iran, and to clarify navigation problems in the Strait of Hormuz.
Spain is reopening its Embassy in Tehran. Madrid is walking away from Washington and toward Tehran. Soon Spain’s walk will become a European sprint.
These developments make it difficult but not impossible for Washington to restart the war for Israel. But if Washington resumes the offensive they risk blowing up the world economy in what the international community will view as Washington’s sabotage of Iran’s “Istanbul moment.”
News reports confirm Israel launched its largest bombing wave yet against targets in Lebanon on April 8, 2026, including strikes in Beirut.
Donald Trump announced Tuesday night that Iran has agreed to a two-week ceasefire and that the Strait of Hormuz will be re-opened after Tehran submitted a 10-point peace plan.
Trump posted on Truth Social on Tuesday night, ‘I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks,’ after earlier sparking doomsday fears when he threatened to wipe out its ‘entire civilization.’
Iran accepted the Pakistan-brokered ceasefire deal after a last-minute intervention by China which asked Tehran to show flexibility amid concerns over the widespread economic impacts of the war, three Iranian officials told the New York Times.
The officials said that the ceasefire was approved by the new supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, despite intelligence reports which say he is in a coma.
Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed the truce and that ‘safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible’ during the two-week period.
Israel has also agreed to a ceasefire and will halt attacks on Iran for two weeks, a senior White House official told Axios, adding that the ceasefire will take effect when Iran re-opens the Strait of Hormuz.
US crude oil prices plunged after Trump’s ceasefire announcement, with West Texas Intermediate contracts falling by more than 10 percent to $98 per barrel after hitting $116 earlier Tuesday.
Furious Republicans stormed out of a classified briefing on Iran on Wednesday amid fears the US is preparing to invade the country as Tehran refuses Donald Trump‘s peace overtures.
With almost 7,000 US ground forces deploying or en route to the Middle East – including from the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division and the Marines – speculation is swirling about Trump’s rapidly developing plans for the war.
Now, a Daily Mail source inside the room has revealed stark new details, including a new set of objectives which may suggest that America is moving toward boots on the ground as Iran continues to strangle the Strait of Hormuz.
The lawmaker, speaking on condition of anonymity, said members were presented with three military objectives: Kharg Island, Iran’s crucial oil export hub; its nuclear material; and regime change.
It marks a stark shift from the four goals the White House has publicly stated: destroying Iran’s missiles, navy, armed proxies, and nuclear capabilities.
The lawmaker said that the White House must answer for its plans, particularly regarding Kharg Island and troops on the ground.
