Trying To Have A World War
Somewhat Confused,
Over the weekend I saw Alex Krainer in 2 videos, explaining what happened Friday in the White House, with Trump and Zelensky. It appears to have been a set-up on the part of globalists, using Zelensky, who was pre-coached by Starmer, Macron, and just before the meeting, by Democratic Senator, Chris Murphy, extracting a commitment from Zelensky to "not back down". Zelensky and his party had been instructed to follow protocol and to come wearing suits. Ukraine's #2, Yermak, who never wears a suit, wore a suit. Zelensky did not, and was dinged by Trump upon arrival.
The September 2024 proposal by Zelensky to candidate Trump, for "$500 billion" of Ukrainian rare-earth and other mineral resources, was meant to keep Team Trump engaged on Ukraine's side.
That deal also looked good to The City of London, it appears, so a few days before Trump took office in January, Kier Starmer signed a 100 year friendship agreement between the UK and Ukraine, whereby the UK would give Ukraine $3 billion/year "as long as necessary". It appears that there is a secret addendum to that treaty, which is the deal Zelensky offered Trump, already turned over to the UK/City-of-London.
It is presumed that Russia knew and Trump knew that this signing of a vague "framework" without specifics on Friday would have been empty ceremony, but it was used by Zelensky as a stage to play a specific part to American and global audiences, the part of a noble Ukrainian victim of a Trump-Vance ambush.
Following the White House drama, Zelensky left without lunch, and went to London, where he was embraced by Starmer with words of succor, and numerous EU heads tweeted their support, then arrived for a summit, to promise support, and propose a combined war plan, called a peace plan, which will still need US troops as a backstop, and is a non-starter. It proposes a ceasefire, followed by the insertion of "peacekeepers" of nuclear-armed Britain and France, which Russia would target as belligerents. European finance is locked-into a large European war through financial commitments, by every rumor. Martin Armstrong says that chances for a hot WW-3 n Europe rise sharply after mid May. Another EU summit will happen Thursday in Brussels, with a lot of division already apparent. Hungary and Slovakia will not make war on Russia, and very much want Russian gas and oil.
There is an ongoing rumor, now more fleshed out, that negotiations are underway through back-channels to get Nordstream delivering gas to German industry again, which is pro-nationalist and anti-globalist in the current array of interests.
As global resources, especially energy resources, are about to terminally decline, the globalist approach wants to subordinate individual humans with AI, digital money and smartphones, while subordinating national governments through bribery and coercion of government officers. Global oligarchs would rule. Nationalist interests might ultimately be interested in the granular electronic control of individuals, but for the moment seek populist support for nationalist reconstruction of productive industries, in which deal working people will be offered a good enough deal to raise families and participate enthusiastically.
I think this could buy 20 good years for our world, but the nature of the real situation would need to be engaged openly and constructively.
Alex Krainer: The Hidden Wars Ukraine's Minerals and Global Power Plays
Hal Turner: Europe SMASHES Trump Peace Effort for Ukraine; Adopts untenable position It turns out that the British had already signed a deal that provided Ukraine "security guarantees" and right of access to Ukraine's gas, oil, rare earth minerals, oversight of Ukraine's ports, and opportunity to invest in the rebuilding of Ukraine, (signed between the two nations three days before President Trump's inauguration, on the 17th of January 2025). They were looking to sucker the United States into providing security for THEIR exploitation of Ukraine. https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news-selections/world-news/europe-smashes-trump-peace-effort-for-ukraine-adopts-untenable-position
Gilbert Doctorow from Saturday, The Trump-Zelensky fracas in the White House Yesterday’s Trump-Zelensky press conference marks a historical turning point. We were all witnesses to the moment that Ukraine was ‘thown under the bus,’ meaning when Washington said it will not provide security guarantees to Ukraine and will not supply further arms. We all understood why this is happening. I borrow from the remarks of Donald Trump yesterday when I say it is to spare the world a progression to World War III that Zelensky and his backers in the European Union are blithely courting by backing a lost cause. Kiev does not have the manpower for a fair-and-square victory on the field of battle. Kiev is using physical force to dragoon men off the city streets and send them to the field of battle, as Trump correctly observed.
In telling Zelensky point blank that he ‘has no cards to play,’ Donald Trump was calling for a Technical Knock-Out if I may introduce the language of boxing matches... ..Russia has also publicly declared its readiness to use its tactical nuclear arsenal to annihilate any NATO ‘peacekeeping’ troops that Britain, France and other Allied nations are foolish enough to send into Ukraine. They are saying that they have no intention of going into the trenches to shoot down NATO soldiers. No, they will wipe out 10,000 troop concentrations at a blow with their nuclear arms, and will not have any regrets because they have given fair warning to the enemy... ..To anyone with eyes to see, ears to hear it is clear that the game is up, that Trump has washed his hands of Zelensky. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/03/01/the-trump-zelensky-fracas-in-the-white-house/

Gilbert Doctorow, Keir Starmer’s 4-point Ceasefire plan Day by day the blindness and obtuseness of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and of his French comrade President Emmanuel Macron reach new and unimaginable heights.
This is perfectly clear from this morning’s Financial Times’ extensive report on the outcome of the meeting of 19 European leaders that Starmer convened in London on Sunday... ..Starmer and Macron have decided to speak to Trump on Ukraine’s behalf. They are proposing a one-month Cease Fire that will cover hostile actions in the air, sea and relating to energy infrastructure. They do not propose to watch the 1000 km long battlefront, presumably because that is beyond their capabilities... ..Here it is stunning that they are not listening to the flat refusal of President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Lavrov in their public statements of the past week to allow any stationing of foreign troops in Ukraine as guarantors of security... ..Zelensky gave a rambling answer in line with the boorish remarks he delivered in the Oval Office. He said that the much-awaited deal on rare earth was still ready for signing, but quietly added that it had to include a U.S. security guaranty for his country after the war. Very good, but such a guaranty was explicitly refused by Trump. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/03/03/keir-starmers-4-point-ceasefire-plan/

How Will The Crown Drag The US Into A World War It Doesn't Want THIS Time?
Gilbert Doctorow, European leaders commit collective suicide at a support Ukraine meeting convened by PM Keir Starmer in London Among the 19 whom I counted when they posed for the obligatory group photo were Emmanuel Macron, Donald Tusk, Georgia Meloni, Justin Trudeau, Mark Rutte, Ursula von der Leyen.
In the few introductory words delivered by Keir Starmer, we heard that their common mission is to provide for European security, in which defending Ukraine plays a vital role. They seemingly wish to arrive at a common position on defending Ukraine that they will later present to Washington.
The problem with this is that they are knowingly running directly against the now crystal clear position of Donald Trump to wash his hands of Zelensky and to allow the Russians to finish up this war as they see best... ..By their present gathering, these leaders are setting the stage for a U.S. pull-out from NATO. They forget how the United States under any president, not just Donald J. Trump, reacts to defiance from allies... ..As for Keir Starmer, he must be the stupidest of the lot. When in Washington meeting with Donald Trump, he was offered a tariff free trade deal with the USA that his country has sought ever since Brexit. He failed to see that this was the deal: you get tariff free trade if you just shut up about Ukraine. But shut up this oaf could not do. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/03/02/european-leaders-commit-collective-suicide-at-a-support-ukraine-meeting-convened-by-pm-keir-starmer-in-london/

Europe is Falling & Needs War with Russia – Martin Armstrong It looks like Zelensky intentionally started a fight with Trump in the White House. It also looks like every country in Europe is backing more war in Ukraine. And now, there is renewed talk of an EU army. Armstrong says, “Why? Because they all are facing the collapse of the European Union. The debt is just unbelievable. They never consolidated. Between Covid, Climate Change and sanctions on Russia, the German economy has shrunk . . . 3% to 5%. The economic growth (of the EU) is appalling. Europe is falling, and this is why they need war. So, they are backing Zelensky.”...
..In a new report released yesterday, Armstrong lays out the case why war in Europe is coming and coming soon. Armstrong points out, “In this report, I gathered a bunch of headlines: London Financial Times, what’s the headline? ‘America is Now the Enemy of the West.’ This is why Trump is saying ‘We are out.’ ...
..So, why are all these reports coming out in the last few months about gold coming to America from Europe? Armstrong says, “Last week, I was on the phone, and I can’t tell you how much, but when you are about to go into war, capital moves. . . . Right now, I am concerned from about May 15th on. https://usawatchdog.com/europe-is-falling-needs-war-with-russia-martin-armstrong/

$4BN In Military Aid To Israel Zelensky got his dressing down on Friday for basically never being satisfied even after the billions in US taxpayer dollars poured into Kiev's coffers over several years. He was accused by President Trump and VP J.D. Vance of being ungrateful and rude in the Oval Office meeting.
As for the other country which routinely receives billion in US defense funds and foreign aid; should we expect Netanyahu to receive the same treatment? ...
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio unveiled on Saturday that he has signed a declaration to expedite delivery of some $4 billion in military assistance to Israel. Rubio added that the Trump administration "will continue to use all available tools to fulfill America’s long-standing commitment to Israel’s security, including means to counter security threats."
"Rubio said he had used emergency authority to expedite the delivery of military assistance to Israel, which is now in a fragile ceasefire with U.S.-designated terrorist organization Hamas in their war in Gaza," Reuters writes.
Almost $12 billion in major foreign military sales has already been approved by the Trump administration since January 20, even as the White House has hailed the fragile Hamas truce and hostage handover as happening because of Trump taking office.
While Americans have by and large turned on Zelensky, and have grown weary of the persisting Russia-Ukraine war, support for Israel among the US public remains high - and so Trump is unlikely to come under fire from his base. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/us-back-turned-ukraine-rubio-expedites-delivery-4bn-military-aid-israel

From Friday: PKK Founder Orders Kurdish Group To Lay Down Its Arms, Dissolve In Historic Statement A grand deal involving Turkey, Syria, and the Kurds is in the works, and on Thursday a historic announcement was made by the leader of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
Abdullah Ocalan, speaking from a Turkish prison, has called on the group that he founded to lay down its arms and disband. This is the result of years of running Turkish-PKK battles as well as fragile negotiations. The PKK has long been in an official state of war with the Turkish government, which considers it a terrorist organization.
"Convene your congress and make a decision," Ocalan said in the statement, read aloud both in Kurdish and in Turkish. "All groups must lay down their arms and the P.K.K. must dissolve itself." https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/pkk-founder-orders-kurdish-group-lay-down-its-arms-dissolve-historic-statement

But Abdi said the long-imprisoned Ocalan’s announcement on Thursday applied only to the PKK and was “not related to us in Syria”.
Abdi’s comment signalled Ocalan’s announcement would have no immediate impact on the SDF despite the affiliation of Syria’s main Kurdish groups at the core of the SDF – the People’s Protection Units (YPG) – to the PKK. https://www.defenddemocracy.press/sdf-chief-says-pkk-disarmament-call-not-related-to-us-in-syria/
Just Hours Until Trump Tariff Barrage On China, Canada, & Mexico: Here's The Latest
On Tuesday, absent any last minute surprise, President Trump will slap new tariffs on Canada and Mexico while doubling a levy on China, moves that would dramatically expand his push to revive domestic manufacturing, tap new revenues and rebalance ties with the biggest US trading partners.
The long-promised tariffs scheduled to take effect at midnight on Tuesday would be among the most sweeping of the Trump era, applying to roughly $1.5 trillion in annual imports. They would put a 25% tariff on all imports from Canada and Mexico, except Canadian energy, which would face a 10% rate. He has also said he’ll double a tariff on China to 20%. https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/just-hours-until-trump-tariff-brrage-china-canada-and-mexico-heres-latest

Alex Washburne, The Strength of Evidence for a Lab Origin Time, forensic analyses of the SARS-CoV-2 genome, and further evidence has only strengthened the case for a lab origin. We can further strengthen the case with more evidence, but with information in the public domain we already have enough evidence to justify probable cause to investigate DEFUSE PI’s, preponderance of evidence in civil suits of DEFUSE PI’s, and beyond-reasonable-doubt confidence that SAR-CoV-2 emerged from a lab even if we don’t know who held the pipette. I’ll let lawyers figure out if bypassing biosafety safeguards and accidentally killing 20 million people constitutes negligence, if causing a global pandemic is a crime.
Got Over Measles In 1965
Hey John.
As usual, haven't found the time to do more than glance at some of the highlights of what you manage to publish nearly every day ... but enough to be bewildered that we have survived as a species for this long. The "kagemusha-behind-kagemusha" ad-infinitum psychopathy of power mongers is mind bogglingly depressing.
Just survival alone, much less flourishing, is increasingly seeming like a naive Taoist dream within a dream of a butterfly who dreamed he was a man. 🙃
Cheers buddy.
I don't know how you keep it up.
But cheers.
My understanding is that the measles vaccine has failed repeatedly, so what is RFK doing here?
And of course, it has never been properly tested for safety or efficacy...So stay away....
European leaders are incredibly delusional about Ukraine...or maybe it's just the kickbacks from Zelensky...Starmer's "deal" is quite impressively stupid, since the UK will never get its hands on any Ukrainian resources, but then, he is a very stupid man...
