Ukraine Cuts off Energy to Hungary & Slovakia

Ukraine has attacked the Russian pipeline that cuts off the energy to Hungary and Slovakia. Budapest declared it was an attack on its sovereignty in the official statement of the Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó. Zelensky is out of control. Hungary has informed Ukraine that Hungary considers this an act of war that is an “attack on its sovereignty.” They also informed Ukraine:

“We urge the Ukrainians not to attack energy infrastructure that supplies Hungary.”

The former president of France stood alongside the Chancellor of Germany and declared that the purpose of the EU was to create one government, and that, they thought, would eliminate war. Of the nearly 11,000 historical battles fought in recorded history, about 85% have been found in Europe. The cultural differences, language, and religions have all played a role in the constant turmoil in Europe. The EU wants war with Russia, and it refuses to accept the rejection of its dictatorial cultural decrees by Hungary over accepting Islamic migrants.

It was 1683 when the Ottoman Empire sought to conquer Europe and lost at the Battle of Vienna. For Brussels to dictate that they must accept these Islamic migrants is stirring up old hatreds from centuries-long since forgotten.

China and Canada Continue Trade War

Effective March 20, 2025, China will place massive tariffs on Canadian goods. Aquatic products and pork will face a 25% tariff, while other items like rapeseed oil (canola), peas, and oil cakes will see a 100% tax. China is also implementing a 100% tariff on any imported electric vehicles and a 25%  tariff on Chinese aluminum and steel.

“Canada does not accept the premise of China’s investigation, nor its findings,” a statement from the Canadian government read. “China’s non-market policies and practices that artificially lower production costs and distort markets. Canada remains open to engaging in constructive dialogue with Chinese officials to address our respective trade concerns.”

Canada first slapped a 100% tariff on Chinese EVs in October 2024, as no one can compete with Chinese EV manufacturers. A few days later, Canada hit China with a 25% tariff on aluminum and steel. All of this happened around the same time that the European Union and the US also placed tariffs on Chinese goods as the West collectively felt that China had an unfair trade advantage due to cheap goods and labor, as well as government subsidies.

Canadian exports to China totaled $$31.1 billion in 2023, with exports from Canada coming in at $59.9 billion. Exports to China have increased by over 6% in the last five years. Gold, petroleum, and rapeseed are Canada’s main exports to China, while China primarily sends Canada cars, computers, and broadcasting equipment. Rapeseed is Canada’s second-largest acreage crop by acreage and China is the largest market for Canadian rapeseed.

The Canola Council of Canada believes canola seed oil and meal exports to China reached C$4.9 billion last year. Canola meal exports came in at 2 million metric tonnes, valued at C$920.9 million, while canola oil exports hit 15,351 metric tonnes with a C$20.6 million value. Pea exports to China reached C$303.6 million last year, fish and seafood came in at C$1.3 billion, and pork at C$486.6 million.

“With this announcement Canadian canola farmers are facing an unprecedented situation of trade uncertainty from our two largest export markets only weeks before planting begins,” says Rick White, Canadian Canola Growers Association (CCGA) President & CEO. “The impact of the federal government’s trade policy decisions is now playing out at the farmgate, making it imperative that government respond with a plan for financial compensation commensurate with the losses incurred.” Around 40,000 Canadian farmers work directly in the canola industry, generating C$43.7 billion annually.

There are various points of contention between the two nations. China recently warned Canada not to meddle in its One China policy after a Canadian frigate passed through the Taiwan Strait after a US military transit. China accused both China and the US of “deliberately causing disruptions and undermining peace and stability.”

BYD.ChinaEV

China launched an anti-discrimination investigation into tariffs on Chinese EVs. China argues that the West’s near ban on Chinese EVs violates fair trade principles established under the World Trade Organization (WTO). China feels it has been unfairly excluded from the EV market under the guise of protectionism. The truth is that China has cutting edge technology paired with the ability to produce affordable EVs. The West knows it cannot compete with Chinese EVs and have nearly banned them through tariffs, excluding China from the entire EV trade sector.

Canada denies discriminating against Chinese EVs and insists the tariffs were to address China’s “non-market policies and practices that artificially lower production costs and distort markets.” Where is the outrage? Mark Carney demanded that Donald Trump show “respect” amid escalating trade tensions. Canadians began boycotting American made goods. Will we see that same level of aggression toward Xi and China? Of course, Trump did offend Canada by claiming it could become a US state which perhaps angered the people more so than the actual tariffs.

Consumers and businesses always lose amid trade wars. The tariff game has become tit-for-tat, with nations continually “retaliating” despite the reality that these measures are hurting their own economies.

Is Trump Defunding the VA?


Posted Mar 12, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 
VA Administration

Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins announced that his department saved $900 million after viewing a mere 2% of government contracts. There are unfounded fears that the Trump Administration will cut veteran benefits or health care. Instead, these measures will provide the government with more aid for our veterans by eliminating government waste.

The VA outsources most of its work to contractors, many of whom have been charging top dollar for their services. There are currently over 90,000 contracts in place through the VA worth over $67 billion. Instead of managing or reviewing the current contracts, the past administration continued to issue more. Terminating 585 contracts, a mere 1% of total active contracts, eliminated $900 million in waste that will be directed to American veterans. Secretary Collins noted that the canceled contracts were either duplicative agreements or non-mission-critical.

The department must still hire for over 300,000 mission-critical roles, but these positions will fulfill a direct purpose. “The days of kicking the can down the road and measuring VA’s progress by how much money it spends and how many people it employs, rather than how many veterans it helps, are over,” Collins said. The department will transition to a new electronic contract management system, and contracts will be evaluated more closely through a newly formed contract review board. Simply put, the VA has been overspending because it had no way to manage former contracts.

Veterans Affairs requires a massive amount of funding. The department set a budget of $369.3 billion for FY2025, a nearly a 10% increase from the year prior. The agency requires $134 billion in discretionary funding for health care, benefits, and cemeteries. They wish to inject another $253.3 billion into mandatory benefit program funding, and put another $191.1 billion toward compensation and pensions for 6.9 million veterans. The Cost of War Toxic Exposers Fund (TEF) alone requires $24.5 billion. Another $192.1 billion will go toward education and job training for 1.1 million veterans and qualified dependents.

It is paramount for America to take care of its veterans. Do not believe the lies told on legacy media programs that Trump wishes to defund the VA and take away benefits from our veterans. Auditing measures will have the opposite effect and enable the government to fund essential programs for our veterans rather than paying contractors for nonessential or unnecessary work.

Biden Spent Over $1T on DEI to BUILD BACK BETTER

DEI diversity e1736338463254

Joe Biden signed Executive Order 13985, “Advancing Equity and Racial Justice Through the Federal Government.” This order “emphasized the enormous human costs of systemic racism” and “other disparities” and became “the first-ever national strategy on gender equity and equality.” Talent and quality were dismissed. Gender, race, and sexual orientation became primary indicators of a candidate’s ability rather than actual talent. How far did Biden and Harris take this order?

The Functional Government Initiative and the Center for Renewing America found 460 DEI programs across 24 US government agencies under the Biden administration. An astounding $1.1 TRILLION in public funds was diverted to these programs. The study said that the $1.1 trillion was the tip of the iceberg as it did not include every program or agency.

“Of the programs identified, 10 are exclusively dedicated to DEI and could be considered for quick elimination; 144 allocate significant resources to DEI initiatives and should be reviewed if those are to be ended; and 306 programs incorporate DEI to varying degrees, though the extent of their DEI focus is indeterminate based on the available documentation,” the study noted.

Researchers were surprised at the “speed” of spending that “shrouded public awareness of the financial burden.” DEI programs were nothing short of radicalized measures that repeatedly failed wherever implemented, and Biden’s people ensured it was implemented absolutely everywhere.

WokeIdentityPolitics

DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) is one of the primary tools used to accelerate the Great Reset transformation. Under the guise of social justice, DEI programs have been weaponized to dismantle free-market principles, undermine meritocracy, and create a system where political and ideological compliance dictates economic survival.

The Department of Education spent around $1 billion on DEI programs. The extent of these programs was a direct assault on America’s children who were forced to question their own sexuality before even reaching puberty. The government became more powerful than parents. Schools did not need to report to parents if a child was performing as a different gender. States like California usurped the power to remove children from their home if their parents did not allow them to transform their gender. Brutal mutilations were performed on CHILDREN. Students were indoctrinated to believe this false reality throughout their education.

These programs attempted to dismantle the nuclear family. Women were not permitted to exist, with even a Supreme Court justice (who was hired because Biden said he wanted to appoint a woman of color) refusing to define the term. “Mother” was deemed an offensive term that was replaced with “birthing person.” Hundreds of genders emerged as the left sought to remove our God given identities. But DEI woke initiatives spread across every facet of the Biden Administration.

DEI.WhiteHouse

The Assistant Secretary for Health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) was an obese transgender man in a wig. The military underwent DEI training seminars and we flew the rainbow flag alongside the American flag. Every single federal agency was required to adopt DEI. Biden touted that he had the most diverse cabinet in American history, but it certainly was not the best.

CEI.WokeRating

Again, the globalist elite uses DEI and the woke agenda to mold the world as they see fit. The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) pushed the CEI (Corporate Equality Index), a company’s social woke credit score. The Open Society Foundation, operated by the Soros family, funds the HRC. The ESG promotes a company’s green social credit score, promoted by BlackRock and the World Economic Forum. ESG ratings have merely been a ploy to force companies to adhere to the Build Back Better agenda by adhering to climate goals. The CEI (Corporate Equality Index) was created by a massive international political lobbying group that pushes the woke agenda aggressively and is funded by Soros.

Why was this executive order signed on DAY ONE of Biden’s presidency? Tolerance and acceptance quickly turned into coercing people to accept an altered reality dictated by a woke government under the thumb of a globalist cabal. It was part of Biden’s mission to BUILD BACK BETTER by burning it all down first. The man spoke out against gay marriage as a senator—he never believed in any of the policies he forced the American public to implement and fund.

Canada & the 51st State

canada_blue_map_400_clr_5255

QUESTION: Hi Marty, Many in Canada seem to be taking President Donald Trump’s talk about making Canada the 51st US state seriously. We have Canadian leaders claiming it is a serious threat and part of a plan. “President Trump wants to put us into a state where we are much more weakened economically in order eventually to annex us,” was the comment from Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly.

This seems to be a distraction; as you say, they need war in Europe to distract from their economic decline. Trump has exposed what many of us Canadians did not know. First, the drug labs, and second, internally, as you said in your interview with Maxime Bernier, we have tariffs between provinces.

Can Trump annex Canada? That seems far-fetched.

RP

Part 51

ANSWER: Most people do not know, but Quebec wanted to separate and join the United States and even formed a Political Party called the 51st State. From an economic perspective, joining with the United States is clearly economically beneficial. I laid that out in the Canadian Report. This has been proposed back and forth since e the American Revolution. Provinces would not be allowed to put tariffs on each other. This is all very Marxist, protecting labor but at the price of lowering the standard of living. Others have pointed out that you have no right to vote for who leads your country under a Parliamentary system. Still, others have proposed ending that system and adopting the American system but remaining as Canada.

Look, from purely an economic and national defense perspective, such a merger makes sense. However, there is no way Trump could simply annex Canada. Moreover, I think the politicians there have too much to lose, and they will scream and yell to retain independence, no different than any such state or entity like NATO. If Trump was truly serious, then going public with that idea may have been a tactic to get the people against the politicians.

If there is a war between the US and Russia, the nukes would be coming over the top of the globe through Canada. That is why he wants Greenland because Tule has been the home of NORAD, which protects the top of the globe from a nuclear attack that would have to travel over Canada.

Canada has followed the Socialist agenda of imposing tariffs to protect jobs, which has dominated Europe and led to economic suppression in both countries. Perhaps the upside here is that Trump has exposed the internal tariffs and that policy in Canada that most Canadians were unaware of until this interesting banter.
