Apoplexy over Trump's Ukraine stance
The US invents an excuse to justify ending the war it started
For those domestic and foreign persons and nations who accepted the corporate-state media lie that Russia was unprovoked in entering Ukraine, the reactions they are forced to conjure regarding the administration’s spin on negotiations to end the war is to claim that Trump is being controlled by Putin. During the Biden regime, these same folks labeled anyone making contact with Russia as a traitor, rather than recognizing that diplomacy is a practice central to political, economic, and social coexistence and negotiations.
While Trump is being disingenuous in blaming the war on Ukraine and Zelensky, who are just puppets in the centuries-old war between the western banking cartel and Russia, he needs some excuse to cede lost territory and thwart NATO ambitions based on the facts regarding the current state of the conflict, where Russia is gaining ground on a daily basis and NATO is running out of mercenaries to lead to slaughter.
US joins Russia to vote against UN resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine
The United States joined Russia to vote against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine Monday in a stunning shift from years of US policy.
The vote against the Ukrainian and European-backed resolution saw the US at odds with its longtime European allies and instead aligned with the aggressor in the war on the three-year anniversary of Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The US Needed Russia to Invade Ukraine
In a moment of candor in March 2022, Joe Biden revealed why the U.S. needed the Russian invasion to launch its three-pronged, pre-meditated war on Russia …
Without it, Washington could not attempt to destroy Russia’s economy, orchestrate worldwide condemnation and lead a proxy war to bleed Russia, all as part of an attempt to bring down its government.
The Russian regular army entered the civil war in Ukraine on this day three years ago, following a string of provocations by the United States. After three years, Russia has still not met Putin’s goals outlined in this article. NATO turned Ukraine into a proxy fighting force, whose aim was to weaken Russia and overthrow its government. But Russia has clearly survived, with its economy and military stronger than ever.
The West is decisively losing its information, economic and ground, proxy war. In the distance, the end of the war is in sight after the Trump administration launched peace talks with Russia last week.

As we have noted previously regarding Trump’s tariffs, the big picture is to eventually eliminate US dependence on China and and outsourcing to various independent nation-states. This is to be done by rebuilding and repatriating US manufacturing. Of course, this will raise prices domestically, because the US labor market is more expensive than second and third world employees, and it will squeeze the working class in the US, because the banking cartel and its corporate pyramid will oppose indexing the minimum wage to its original ratio versus the pricing of essential goods and services, which today would mean at least $24 per hour.
Apple announces plans to create 20,000 US jobs in pitch to Donald Trump
Apple said it planned to hire an additional 20,000 staff in the US over the next four years as chief executive Tim Cook set out plans to invest in “American innovation”, making him the latest business leader to court President Donald Trump with eye-catching announcements.
The iPhone maker said on Monday it would invest at least $500bn in the US, spread over Trump’s second term in office.
The figure includes regular spending on thousands of US suppliers, data centres and corporate facilities, as well as new initiatives such as an academy in Michigan “to train the next generation of US manufacturers”.
While Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs, the private bank notes issued by those who own the US central bank) remain the principal world reserve currency, the day is coming when this will no longer be the case, but clearly Trump is not going to challenge the financiers who control the Fed and run the show. So, as part of the banking cartel’s retrenchment—in terms of reinstituting a manufacturing base in the US and putting FRNs on a more manageable footing, with less inflation at home and a competitive currency for foreign exchange—the federal budget must be substantially trimmed. Since more than half the budget is spent on the US military, that is obviously the place to start.
Currently, the US spends as much on its military as the next ten nation-states combined, It has troops in over 160 countries. The failed F-35 project wasted over 1 trillion dollars and the plane is still a lemon. Yet Trump and Musk continue to indiscriminately cut social programs. As we noted earlier in this post, despite Trump and Musk’s claims, the amount of federal spending that has been cut is relatively small. To put the cuts in perspective, they represent less than 10% of Musk’s net worth.
President Trump Wants to Cut the Pentagon Budget in Half. How?
The President advances a three-pronged strategy for national security: 1. Negotiate a peace deal for Ukraine. 2. Negotiate nuclear arms drawdown with China and Russia. 3. Cut military spending by 50%
But the Secretary of Defense has a different take:
Hegseth- U.S. Not Cutting Defense Spending, Is Reallocating Some Existing Spending
Hegseth clarified his agenda in a video that the Department of Defense posted in which he said that he was looking to shift $50 billion, or roughly 8% of the budget — which was put in place by the Biden administration — to priorities that align with the Trump administration.
“We are refocusing, that’s a key word, our existing budget, away from the Biden priorities that frankly, were all over the map, to President Trump’s priorities of building a lethal fighting force,” he said. “The media wants to call these exclusively cuts, but it’s the opposite, of course, as always is the case.
Meanwhile, Trump has no problem attacking the poorest citizens.
Trump embraces GOP plan to gut Medicaid, despite promise to protect it
President Donald Trump on Wednesday endorsed the House Republican budget plan, which would decimate Medicaid, the federal health insurance program that covers 72 million disabled and low-income Americans. What do Republicans get in return? Tax cuts that overwhelmingly benefit the rich.
Trump and Musk fire leaders of critical childhood Head Start programs
Yesterday dozens of staff in ACF's early childhood offices received termination notices (Office of Child Care, Office of Early Childhood Development, Office of Head Start). This action will have far reaching and damaging impacts on early care and education in communities across the country.
Despite its heartlessness, the administration is not immune to protests, but at the current rate of slashing there would need to be a constant presence of significant numbers in the streets. Of course, this is why much of Washington, DC has been cordoned off after agent provocateurs wreaked havoc during the Biden regime.
Trump administration backtracks on eliminating thousands of national parks employees
Following a loud public outcry about job cuts at the National Park Service — and a relentless media campaign from outdoors enthusiasts across the country — it looks like the Trump administration has reconsidered.

Much of the impetus for the present budget cutting is based on the so-called “national debt,” with interest payments consuming an ever-greater portion of the productive capacity of the US. Again, this is due to private control over the US central bank, the Fed. The debt consists of the principal and interest on US Treasury bonds issued by the US government as collateral for the Federal Reserve Notes that the financiers provide for the government to operate. Nationalizing the Fed would eliminate this debt, which would be paid off with sovereign US dollars (except for the bonds held by the financiers, who would be indicted for treason), as we explained in 2018: Transforming the U.S. and Global Economy
As we mentioned earlier in this post, it’s also worth noting the exaggerations regarding the amount of cuts that Trump and Musk have made:
Elon Musk and DOGE don't have the receipts
Billions in purported “savings” touted by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency have turned out to be phony, according to a new analysis of data released by the group itself.
President Donald Trump has authorized DOGE to go after multiple government agencies to cut supposedly unnecessary spending, but the Associated Press found that nearly 40% of the contracts the group had canceled would lead to no savings for taxpayers at all.
Trump mass firings may be 'contrary' to law, watchdog rules
“Firing probationary employees without individualized cause appears contrary to a reasonable reading of the law, particularly the provisions establishing rules for reductions in force,” Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger of the U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC), an independent agency of the federal government, said in a statement on Monday.
The most disconcerting aspect of Trump and Musk’s attempt to cut programs is their disregard for the Constitutional separation of powers, ignoring or evading court orders. Worse yet, it appears that the Supreme Court aided this power grab by attempting to put the office of the President above the law.
Trump finds a trick to circumvent courts that blocked his funding freeze
The Trump administration's attempt to freeze all federal grants, including those at the National Institutes of Health, has been temporarily blocked since late last month, when two federal judges ruled that President Donald Trump did not have the authority to pull back the funding—but new reporting on Friday detailed how the administration has circumvented the rulings, threatening critical funding for biomedical research.
As The New York Times reported, the Trump administration has issued an order "forbidding health officials from giving public notice of upcoming grant review meetings," blocking "an obscure but necessary cog in the grant-making machinery that delivers some $47 billion annually to research on Alzheimer's, heart disease, and other ailments."
Notices are required before any federal meetings can be held, and the order led to the cancellation of 42 out of 47 previously-scheduled NIH grant application meetings this week, impacting research that would have studied pancreatic cancer, addiction, brain injuries, and children's health, among other subjects.

Putting aside the fact that the “climate change” agenda is based on the manipulation of temperature data as well as the use of weather-as-a-weapon to create the illusion that the situation is more dire than it actually is, the elimination of weather data is just another means, like the culling of healthy chickens and cattle, of choking the food supply and advancing the UN’s WEF Agenda 2030: “You will own nothing and be happy.” In other words, you will enjoy eating insects (and here).
Farmers sue USDA over deletion of climate data from websites
Peter Lehner, a lawyer for Earthjustice, said the pages being purged were crucial for farmers facing risks linked to climate change, including heat waves, droughts, floods, extreme weather and wildfires. The websites had contained information about how to mitigate dangers and adopt new agricultural techniques and strategies. Long-term weather data and trends are valuable in the agriculture industry for planning, research and business strategy.
