(Minnesota state flag)
COMMENT:
Marty,
After reading the stories you’ve shared about people not being able to almost anything of value onto planes without a real risk of confiscation, the Alpha News video where a TSA agent claims to have observed multiple suitcases of cash muled out of the country by Somali men makes zero sense. At a minimum implies that the government or at least two government agencies (TSA plus whomever directed their actions) were involved in the Somali cash trafficking…
On a related side note I can’t help, but to look at the new Minnesota flag (redesigned under Walz’s direction) & believe that the DFL (Democrat Farmer Labor – Dem party of Minnesota) was fully in on the fraud since the new flag looks like what someone would have made if they were trying to copy the Somali flag, but try to pretend they were copying it. Wiki links below.
Anyhow, keep up the good work.

(Somalia’s flag)
REPLY:Social programs are a big government scam that forces people to become dependent on the state. Mass migration and open borders is a government scam that multiplies the welfare system, guarantees blue votes, promotes repopulation, props up the image of the dollar, and supplies the nation with future soldiers. The motive behind Minnesota’s goal of becoming the largest welfare state in the nation is GREED and politics.
Tim Walz built his entire career on identity politics that exist for the sole purpose of dividing the people. The wealth of a nation is dependent upon the success of its people, and the people are far more successful as a collaborative. Socialist ideals and Marxism condemns this notion because it leaves no room for an overlord state, or worse, the people could begin to see that their neighbor is not the problem.
The Somali scams in Minnesota continued for years thanks to identity politics. Investigations were halted due to racism accusations. Feeding Our Future sued the Minnesota Department of Education for racism in 2020. The “non-profit” claimed the state was preventing “minority-owned businesses” from receiving approval for their fraudulent organizations.
Minnesota changed its state flag in May 2024. Why? The former flag was seen as racist and offensive since it depicted a white settler working the field as a Native American rode away horseback. The state updated the flag to display the new settlers—Somalians.
Somalians began settling in Minnesota back in the 1990s during the nation’s civil war. The FBI knew without a doubt that terrorist organizations from Africa like Al-Shabaab were recruiting men from Minnesota and sending their own men to relocate in the states. Lawmakers turned a blind eye. The state now hosts around 80,000 Somali migrants, which is more than any other state in the nation.
Rep. Ilmar Omar is a prime example of how a displaced population can reshape politics. The Somali native was elected by the people, her people, who she vocally prioritizes over native-born Americans.
Nearly everyone involved in the scam was Somalian, but Omar said that any link to her community would be “a failure by the FBI.” True, the FBI should have expelled people who have loyalty to foreign terrorist organizations long ago because now they are sending millions of taxpayer funds back home to support groups that hate America. That’s the astonishing thought pattern of these tribal populations who hate American values and culture, yet enjoy the liberties and freedom granted under the US Constitution.
Identity politics enabled foreigners to defraud American taxpayers. It led to the uprising of elected representatives who do not represent the people. Politicians are not only involved but also responsible.

Germany granted itself legal permission to use AI technology to aggressively monitorthe entire population in real-time. The Berlin House of Representatives passed amendments to the General Security and Public Order Act (ASOG) that grants government access to citizens’ personal data by any means necessary, including forcibly entering their private homes.
Interior Senator Iris Spranger (SPD) declared the new laws necessary to fight terrorism in the digital age. German investigators may now legally hack IT systems, but if remote access is unavailable, authorities may “secretly enter and search premises” a suspect’s personal residence to confiscate their digital devices. The government does not need to notify citizens that they are under investigation before entering their homes without warning.
Germany will equip public spaces with advanced surveillance technology. The cell tower query will be expanded to enable the government to access data from all private mobile phones. Network operators must be able to tell the government the movement and location of all citizens. License plate scanners will be installed throughout the nation, and that data will be sent to a centralized database.
Deutschland has finally achieved official “1984” status—the nation is implementing unmanned drones to monitor the population.
All personal data may be used for “training and testing of artificial intelligence systems.” Authorities have free rein to steal data from publicly accessible websites to collect biometric comparisons of faces and voices. The government will implement automated facial recognition software that enables it to identify citizens immediately. The database will tie into the nationwide surveillance platform.
You are being watched. Civil liberties do not exist. Freedom is merely an illusion; your likeness—face, voice, movement, finances, family–exists in an ever-expanding government database that may be used however the government sees fit.

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, you tend to be humble about your influence. You may not be able to answer or prefer not to answer this question, but it is rumored that you had more impact on the Reagan-Gorbachev meeting than you let on. From the Russian side, it is believed that Mikhail Gorbachev was aware of your work and attempted in the 1980s to break the cyclical pattern of Soviet economic stagnation and political repression through reforms (Perestroika and Glasnost). He faced fierce opposition from the hardline Communist Party, who were invested in maintaining power. This led to a coup attempt against him in 1991, which ultimately resulted in the collapse of the USSR.
You have confirmed that you were the Western Financier that the Communists accused of influencing Galina Starovoitova, who was assassinated on November 20, 1998. Your book, The Plot to Seize Russia, demonstrates that you have had firsthand experience with Russia’s turmoil for decades. Are you willing to answer the question that, since Mikhail Gorbachev was trying to reverse the cycle of oppression in Russia, is it true that he was also at least influenced by your forecast that Communism would collapse starting in 1989.95?
You apparently wrote how the Communists were after Gorbachev in 1991:
“In Australia, an ex-KGB agent lived quietly in Queensland. He went to school with Mr. Gorbachev and perhaps had some dirt or insight into his past that might prove to be politically useful at home. He was abducted and drugged – placed in a box and shipped off into the outback under the disguise of a mining expedition. The US CIA was tipped off as to this plot and worked with Australian security forces. An old-fashioned shoot-out took place on an old abandoned World War II air st rip. The abductors were killed and the ex-KGB agent recovered. Two similar incidents have taken place in other parts of the world. Clearly, someone in Russia is trying their best to gain control of Gorbachev. Based upon the resignation speech of Mr. Shevardnadze, we can safely assume it is the military.
The food shortages in Russia have been planned. They should not be taking place to this extent given the record crops of last year. Reliable sources tell us that food has been left to rot outside Moscow. The hard-liners may be out of the lime-light but they are still in control at the local levels throughout Russia. There is indeed a sinister force rising behind the scenes and it is stemming from the KGB and the military.“
Would you at least confirm that you did write this?
Uri
ANSWER: Yes that was an intelligence report I wrote back then. OK, only since Mikhail Gorbachev is now dead, I suppose I can confirm. I was asked questions on Gorbachev’s behalf when I was in London. I recall Galina Starovoitova, a prominent democratic reformer, and Gorbachev shared ideological alignment. Yes, Galina Starovoitova certainly knew Mikhail Gorbachev. They were prominent political figures in the same transformative era of Soviet and Russian history. Their relationship was primarily one of political allies and fellow reformers. Both were key figures in the democratic and reform movements during the perestroika and glasnost period.
Starovoitova was a democratic deputy in the Congress of People’s Deputies and a fierce advocate for human rights and national self-determination. Gorbachev, as the last General Secretary of the Communist Party, initiated the reforms that made her political activity possible. They moved in the same high political circles in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Starovoitova was a close advisor to Boris Yeltsin on nationalities issues, which placed her at the center of the political struggles between Gorbachev’s Union government and Yeltsin’s Russian republic—struggles that ultimately led to the USSR’s dissolution.
Initially, they were aligned in the push to democratize the Soviet system. However, Starovoitova’s politics were more radically democratic and anti-communist from the outset. She was part of the “democratic opposition” that pushed for faster and more fundamental change than Gorbachev was often willing to pursue. Her allegiance shifted decisively to Yeltsin in the power struggle of 1991. Still, there was a record of professional respect. Gorbachev later publicly condemned Starovoitova’s 1998 assassination, calling it a “terrible crime” and praising her as a “consistent supporter of democratic reforms.”
That said, when Galina was assassinated, the Communists put out the story that she was a puppet of a Western Financier, who was alleged to be me. I believe it was Putin who investigated her assassination. The connection between us was that her son worked in our London Office. Galina had checked me out with Margret Thatcher since her son wanted to work in our office. Maggie approved. Galina and Mikhail were well-acquainted political contemporaries and were well aware of our forecasts. Starovoitova was part of the wave of democratic forces that Gorbachev’s policies
What I can say is that Gorbachev, like Margret Thatcher, was interested in cycles. While not a theorist himself, Gorbachev was very interested in cycles and he understood that it was time. He attempted in the 1980s to break the cyclical pattern of Soviet economic stagnation and political repression (“The Period of Stagnation”) through reforms (Perestroika and Glasnost).
The Pi target of May 26th, 2023 was indeed a critical turning point. The events of that month, especially the Wagner-defense ministry rift, directly set the stage for the dramatic armed rebellion by the Wagner Group in June 2023. Several European countries, including Germany, Sweden, and Finland, expelled Russian diplomats also in May 2023 severing diplomatic communication and ensuring the outcome would be war that is projected between 2026 and 2030. They along with Kallas, Lindsey Graham in drag, continue to hate all the Russian people because of the oppression of Stalin despite the fact that Gorbachev, Yeltsin, and Putin stood up against the hardline Communists. Putin even criticized Lenin saying he was just a communist – not a statesmen.
The Neocons deliberately ignore that Putin was particularly critical of Lenin and said he was not a statesman but just a Bolshevik in 2016. He said that Lenin created “a time bomb under our state.” He also denounced Stalin for massive purges that killed millions but noted his role in defeating the Nazis in WW II. Putin also blasted the Bolsheviks for making Russia lose World War I in their quest for power, making Russia suffer defeat by Germany and cede large chunks of territory just months before it lost World War I. “We lost to the losing party, a unique case in history,” Putin said.
Putin criticized the Communist ideology, noting that while promises of a fair and just society in the Communist ideology “resembled the Bible quite a lot,”the reality was different. “Our country didn’t look like the City of the Sun,”envisaged by socialist utopians, he said. Regarding Lenin’s tomb, Leon Trotsky, Lev Kamenev, and Nikolai Bukharin famously opposed the idea of Lenin’s embalming, while his late wife, Nadezhda Krupskaya, wrote for the Pravda newspaper in the year of his death: “Do not build for him monuments, castles in his name, (hold) opulent receptions in his memories etc. To all of this he assigned such little significance in life and it saddened him so.”
The Russian people were the VICTIM of Stalin – not this co-conspirator. They were his target of the Great Purge. He had Kondratieff executed for daring to say that communism would not escape the fate of cycles.
I believe that Gorbachev did in fact understand cycles and it was time for the collapse of the USSR. Kondratieff was officially rehabilitated by the Soviet Union in 1987, during the era of glasnost, as his trial was recognized as unjust. Gorbachev was in office March 11th, 1985 – August 24th, 1991.Based on my contacts, I believe he understood that the USSR was in fact coming to an end and he did his best to manage that transition. Keep in mind that Stalin has Kondratieff executed because he suggested that capitalism was not in a permanent death spiral but was instead cyclical. It would have downturns, but it would also naturally recover and enter new periods of growth. This undermined the core Soviet justification for its own existence—that it was the inevitable successor to a dying capitalist system.
It was Gorbachev who lowered the USSR flag and raised the Russian flag over the Kremlin. The Communists staged a coup in 1991 fearing that he would accept joining NATO and I believe they may have understood that he saw the cyclical future of the USSR. That brought Yeltsin to power. To what extent one can attribute my influence on Gorbachev is debatable. All I can confirm is that he understood like Thatcher, cyclically, it was just time. It is our Neocon who refuse to understand cycles and that Gorbachev terminated the USSR and Communism and they refuse to accept that Russia is not longer trying to spread communism to the world and Khrushchev said – We will bury you. They refuse to let their hatred go.

There is no official public declaration by European Union (or its member states collectively) that commits to such a move. They are discussing this now behind closed doors. Trump needs to consider IMMEDIATELY entering an Executive Order that all EU member state debts MUST be liquidated INSTANTLY!!!!! Any hedge fund that holds EU sovereign debt should be subject to sanctions forthwith. Trump should issue an Executive Order barring any US investment in Ukraine whatsoever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!With the EU seeking to fund war, they will need to sell debt.
The EU and Ukraine are considering to threaten the United States that if Trump strikes a deal with Putin, they will dump $2.34 trillion in US debt in an effort to create an economic war with the United States to crash the bond market. NO American investment bank should now be allowed to sell ANY Sovereign Debt of any EU Member State. The US should EXIT NATO ASAP!!!!!
If the EU tries to pull this off, Trump MUST cut off all intelligence and money to Ukraine and the EU. Neither wants peace. Let them seal their own fate which will be their destruction. The EU will not survive beyond 2030. It is time for the EU member states to separate from this insanity or watch their youth be sent off to the slaughter. For what? Ukraine?
Any Investment Bank or Hedge Fund supporting the EU or Ukraine can be sanctioned under these conditions and criminally charged as trading with the enemy! We had a Double Directional Change here in December 2025. Beware, the EU is absolutely desperate. They are going to use the Russian assets of which up to 80% is private Russian citizens – not state assets. We must ask, how many EU leaders also have their hand in the free money pouring into Ukraine with no accountability.

COMMENT:
“When men can hate without risk, their stupidity is easily convinced, the motives supply themselves.”
–Louis-Ferdinand Celine

REPLY: That is on point Allen. These European leaders are living in the past. Their history of previous imperial greatness has become the core part of a their view of their nation’s story about itself—a “golden age.” It’s a source of immense cultural pride, artistic achievement, and historical identity. Reconnecting with that past is seen as healing. The establishment of the EU was supposed to defeat the dollar. That failed. Their claims that a combined GDP would exceed the US never materialized because they are socialists and had to control everything. Their perceived national greatness failed before their eyes and war is now the cover up for a humiliating period of decline.
Minnesota created its own mega welfare system during the pandemic, kept expanding at the state level, it grew from $15 billion in 2022-23 to $21 billion in 2024-25, and is expected to reach $23 billion next fiscal year. $42 of every $100 new spending goes to the state welfare system. The majority goes to HHS.
I discussed the prevalent fraud within the Somalian-run Feeding Our Future program, where over $300 million intended to feed needy children wound up in the hands of criminals. Former Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson said the investigation unveiled “schemed stacked upon schemes” that stole tens of millions from Medicaid. “It feels never-ending,” Thompson said in September, when announcing that eight people had been charged with defrauding the housing stabilization services program of around $8.4 million in total. “I have spent my career as a fraud prosecutor and the depth of the fraud in Minnesota takes my breath away. The fraud must be stopped.”
The story worsens at every turn. The FBI first reported that Somalia was recruiting men from Minnesota to participate in terrorist training camps. “We really got a wake-up call in 2010-11,” Former Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek said. “Young people were going back to Somalia to participate in terrorist training camps and terrorist actions when they had no clear ties back to their culture. They were born here in the U.S. but felt a need or were radicalized to go back.” The crime has been overlooked by state lawmakers, leading to a widening network.
Somalians involved in these social program scams have sent a bulk of the money back to Somalia through Hawala. Hawala is an informal, trust-based system for transferring value that operates outside formal banks. It is prime grounds for sanction evasion and money laundering. The program is prominently used within the African community, who can send funds to a local hawaladar, along with a commission, who then sends the transaction details and code to another recipient. The recipient then provides the code to a counterpart broker and receives the funds in their local currency. There is no customer identification, records, or licensing, and it’s a surprise that the government has permitted such a program to operate.
At my direction, @USTreasury is investigating allegations that under the feckless mismanagement of the Biden Administration and Governor Tim Walz, hardworking Minnesotans’ tax dollars may have been diverted to the terrorist organization Al-Shabaab.
— Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent (@SecScottBessent) December 1, 2025
An unknown sum stolen from the state was sent directly to Al-Shabaab, a Somali-based terrorist organization. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is investigating the ties, as it is believed $1 billion from Minnesota was sent overseas.
Again, the case continues to worsen as the investigations continue. Minnesota reported a massive rise in autism cases at the same time that new autism centers began emerging. In fact, the reporting rate grew so significantly that it caused the nationwide rate of autism to increase.
Costs for autism centers and service providers increased 700% in the past five years. The state had around 41 providers in 2018, but that figure has multiplied to 328. The amount these providers received also multiplied over the same five-year span by 3,000% from $6 million to $192 million.
Asha Farhan Hassan, a 28-year-old Minneapolis woman, pocketed nearly half a million dollars from the scheme and worked with other members of her community to defraud the state $14 million under the premise of treating children with autism. She was charged wire fraud for sending hundreds of millions to Africa. She also purchased real estate in Kenya with taxpayer funds. Hasaan billed Medicaid for fake therapy session, using untrained staff with no medical backing. She paid off parents between $300 and $1,500 per month to keep their kids enrolled in the fake program.
State politicians profited from the fraud as well. A former Minneapolis mayoral aide, Abdi Nur Salah, pleaded guilty to stealing taxpayer funds. Democratic lawmakers received over $50,000 from criminals involved in the Feeding Our Future scam. AG Keith Ellison, his councilman son, mayor Jacob Frey, and Representative Ilhan Omar all received donations from the fraudsters. Ellison has received tens of thousands in donations from fraudsters for his re-election campaign, and naturally, has not investigated the fraud. Minnesota State Senator Omar Fateh received $11,000 in donations from defendants. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey received political donations from 9 defendants in the case as well.
People with deep pockets have protected these criminals from prosecution. During one trial investigating $41 million in missing funds, a stranger delivered a bag to a juror containing $120,000 in cash. The anonymous woman who dropped off the bag warned that more money would be available if the juror voted to acquit the defendants. The juror reported the incident to the authorities, leading the judge to order all jurors to turn their phones over to the FBI to determine who had been paid off, but “Juror 52,” the only person of color on the jury, was the only one targeted. The FBI later charged three defendants on the case of gathering $200,000 in funds to blackmail people connected to the case.
The criminals had hoped the juror would buy into identity politics. Rep. Ilhan Omar believes she is above the law and insists any investigation into Somali-led crime is racist. “My answer was the US government will do what we tell the US government to do. We, as Somalis, should have that confidence in ourselves. We live in this country. We pay taxes in this country. It’s a country where one of your own sits in Congress … The woman you sent to Congress is aware of you and has the same interest as you,” she said during a 2024 interview.
The Minnesota City Council also deemed investigations “racist.” These politicians are using identity politics to gas light the public and protect criminals who are stealing from all Americans. Trump revoked Temporary Protective Status from Somalians for a reason. People from tribal communities are not able to easily assimilate into American culture. These fraud schemes have taken funds away from US taxpayers and sent them overseas to support terrorism. Then we have US representatives like Omar who do not represent US interests. All of this occurred under Tim Walz who has built his entire political career on identity politics.

The Canadian military had been contracting in recent years, but new recruitment incentives have changed the course. There is no better time to recruit fresh blood than when the economy turns down.
An October 2025 Auditor General’s report found that the Canadian military was not attracting enough applicants to meet quotas. Prime Minister Mark Carney declared a 20% pay wage for private in the Regular Force retroactive to April 1, 2025. Military Service Pay benefits were increased and the process to join was streamlined.
New Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members receive C$10,000 when they complete basic training, C$20,000 when they are qualified in a trade, and an additional C$20,000 after their first contract expires if they re-enlist. This funding is in addition to the normal private pay salary, which increased by 20%.
Youth unemployment was last tracked at 14.7% in September 2025, heavily rising from the 9% low seen in 2022, more than double the national rate of unemployment (7%). A full-time entry level position brings in around C$30,000, but new military recruits can earn that in a few months by completing basic training.
The military offers comprehensive health and dental coverage, 4-6 weeks of paid vacation, educational reimbursements, pension plans, relocation allowances, and specialized bonuses. Health coverage expands to family members and the military will reimburse childhood education expenses. Pension plans begin on day one and can be transferred to civilian sectors.
The average Canadian youth cannot afford a home or even a rental, but CAF members received specialized housing benefits. The Canadian Forces Housing Differential (CFHD) offer a monthly taxable allowance with a cap of 25% of income with compensation packages varying by rank and location.
Now, this is not an ad for the Canadian armed forces, but it is easy to see why the youth are eager to enlist. “There is a common misconception that most people joining are between the ages of 18 and 22,” says Captain David White and instructor at the Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School. “We do skew towards a younger side, however a lot of candidates that we see coming through are in their late 20’s, late 30’s, and even in their 40’s.” In fact, the compensation is attracting all eligible candidates.
Most nations will see a similar trend as people seek to stabilize their financial situations amid rising unemployment and downsizing in the private sector.

Hundreds of thousands of voters will be purged from the voter rolls ahead of the 2026 elections. Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon and the Department of Justice discovered that over 260,000 dead people are registered to vote, along with thousands of noncitizens.
“We’ve checked 47.5 million voter records. We found 260,000 plus dead people enrolled in the states’ voter rolls, which is pretty concerning,” Dhillon stated. “There are several thousand non-citizens who are enrolled to vote in federal elections. This is very concerning. And the DOJ is partnering with local law enforcement where appropriate to prosecute people who have unlawfully voted in our elections.”
States hold their own voter registrations and can select not to audit their rolls. The federal government recently sued North Carolina for access to their voting records and plans to expand the search nationwide ,as not everyone is willing to comply. The federal government currently has 14 pending lawsuits against states that do not want fair elections. They’re refusing to provide their records, even though many of these states voluntarily provide their voter rolls to nonprofit groups,” Dhillon continued.
Who is voting on behalf of the dead? Only 19 individuals have been charged in the past decade with casting a vote on behalf of a dead relative but it is unlikely that only 19 people have committed such an act when hundreds of thousands of people are enrolled. It begs the question: why are states preventing the federal government from auditing voter registrations?
States refusing to comply declare it a matter of security and privacy. They claim that the federal agencies should not be able to access information that they already possess—Social Security numbers, personal addresses, licenses, and so forth. Voter groups of advocates pushing a very specific agenda believe that the government will prevent certain groups from voting or unfairly purge eligible voters.
Federal law, including the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), Help America Vote Act (HAVA), and Civil Rights Act of 1960, requires states to maintain accurate voter rolls AND permit the federal government to inspect those rolls. The Democrats running these states are blatantly preventing clean and secure elections while wasting millions in public funds to fight the Trump Administration.
COMMENT: Marty, Thank you for the WEC. I agree with many, it was your best ever. I have re-watched it twice and pick up new things every the time. The contrast of arrays on Europe vs USA confirms sadly that Socrates will be correct and your effort to prevent WWIII will fail. But it does appear that you may succeed in keeping the US out of war here in Europe. I am taking my family out of here. They are introducing a conscription bill here in Germany. Thank you for that. You can smell war is in the air. The press will not tell the truth and there is nothing Putin can do or say that they do not criticize and subconsciously are telling Europeans Russia is weak and can be easily defeated.
Our European powers have again rallied behind Ukraine on Monday after President Trump blasted Zelensky a day prior, accusing him of not bothering to read the U.S.-proposed peace plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said: “We stand with Ukraine.” German Chancellor Merz and French President Macron concurred.
Here in Germany, DER SPIEGEL, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron in a secret call said that the U.S. could betray Ukraine and Europe. I think this is in line with your peace plan and they reject. They did not want to hear Trump say that Europe is erasing its culture with migration and has become irrelevant.
Nobody seems to ask how many Europeans are they willing to sacrifice this time for war? I would have thought Europe would have learned. That clip you had of Merkel and Hollande saying the purpose of creating the EU was to eliminate war seems to only refer to internally. So now they want all of Europe to invade Russia. It never ends. I really do not understand why humanity always loves war.
PVB
REPLY: We are about to enter the 3rd Wave 2026.03137 (January 11-12, 2026). It is highly questionable if the EU will survive beyond 2030.330137. Europe will never accept peace because these leaders are broke and they are robbing Russians in front of the entire world.
Up to 80% of the “Russian Assets” that have been seized, belong to Russian individuals – not the state. On the private-side: reporting in 2023 estimated that private Russian property subject to freeze in the EU (yachts, villas, private accounts, corporate holdings, etc.) amounted to about US $58 billion. But the foreign reserves that were seized are not purely state assets. The central bank was holding foreign accounts of all various Russian companies and individuals doing business with the West. This is a violation of International Law and the EU does not give a shit because the European Press is so anti-Russia that they will never report the truth.
As of early 2025, Swiss authorities reported that around 7.4 billion Swiss francs (≈ US $8.4 billion) in Russian-owned assets had been frozen. That includes assets linked to individuals / companies subject to sanctions (real estate, luxury goods, etc.) as well as holdings tied to the Russian Central Bank. Under Swiss law, outright confiscation of legally acquired private assets of Russians — simply because they are Russian — was deemed unconstitutional (as of 2023) by the Swiss Federal Council (not a “court”) on February 15th, 2023 accepted the conclusion of a working group from the Federal Office of Justice (FOJ) that confiscation of frozen private Russian assets would be unconstitutional under Swiss law and violate the legal order.
The lies that the EU are using is lets say you have money on deposite in a bank, that bank then places reserves at the central bank, the EU seizes all the assets of the Russian central bank and pretend they are the assets of the state. They are clearly showing that the EU cannot be trusted and any non-European client with funds in the EU shoi;d get the funds out of there before you will never see them again. One prominent case involved Mikhail Fridman, a Russian oligarch. In April 2024, a court within the EU system (the General Court of the European Union) ruled there was insufficient evidence to keep him on the sanctions list. That effectively challenged the freeze on his assets under EU sanctions — at least insofar as the justification for listing him was concerned. Following that, Fridman initiated further legal action: he sued a national government (of Luxembourg) over damages arising from his asset freeze, and has also launched arbitration under international investment-treaty rules.
The EU has violated international law and has ignored the fact that the Ukrainian Civil War was instigated by Ukrainians in Kiev and classified everyone in the Donbas as a Terrorist. Putin even requested that they rescind that terrorist classification to justify attacking the ethic Russians in Crimea and the Donbas.
Only after the Ukrainians were openly killing Russians on the streets of Odessa and burned them alive did the Donbas declare its independence for which Kiev then declared them to be terrorists. The West wanted this war with Russia and the press refuses to report the truth cheering on World War III with every story they write. Our computer warns this will be the end of European civilization.
Billions are vanishing and these politicians speak nothing about the corruption in Ukraine which makes one wonder what they are making on the sidelines? Public reporting on exactly which European companies have active contracts to supply weapons to Ukraine is often partial, aggregated, or confidential to protect politicians. Many supply-contracts are mediated via governments, export licences, or procurement coalitions. The fact that these politicians NEVER criticize Zelensky for the corruption is telling implying they have their hand in this cookie jar.
Even when companies are known, shareholding data of individual EU politicians (members of parliaments, governments, etc.) is typically very opaque, rarely if ever disclosed in a way that connects them to defense-industry shareholdings — meaning publicly documented cases are very limited. That said, some European companies known to supply Ukraine (or facilitate supplies), there is little or no verifiable public evidence that EU-politicians are significant shareholders in them.
Czechoslovak Group (CSG) defense conglomerate has explicitly supplied Ukraine. According to publicly available data, in 2022 roughly 41% of its revenue came from deliveries to Ukraine; in 2023 it was around 23%. Its exports include 155 mm and 152 mm artillery rounds, T-72 “Avenger” tanks, BMP-1/2 infantry fighting vehicles, multiple-launch rocket systems (e.g. RM-70 Vampire, BM-21 MT STRIGA), self-propelled howitzers (DANA M2, DITA), among others.
Then there is Rheinmetall (Germany). Again, I found no public breakdown showing “Rheinmetall → Ukraine” under a named contract. Yet, Rheinmetall is widely regarded as one of the major European defense manufacturers benefiting from the surge in European military spending tied to the war. Its business boom is strongly correlated with increased demand for ammunition, armored vehicles, and other military equipment in response to the war.
Smaller or mid-sized European firms are also on the take. The number of smaller or midsize European ammunition / defense-component firms are in supply chains that now support Ukraine or NATO rearmament. For instance, a 2025 academic study on European ammunition & grenade manufacturing outlines structural shifts in supply-chains, partly driven by demand related to Ukraine as reported in the Scandinavian Journal of Military Studies.
In addition, institutional decisions within the European Union have reinforced these flows of money for arming Ukraine. As of early 2025, Defense News analysis estimates that about 60% of total aid is used in the U.S., about 25% is spent in Ukraine, and the remaining ≈15% elsewhere. In November 2025, EU lawmakers voted to deepen integration between the EU defense industry and Ukraine — under a programme allocating €1.5 billion, including €300 million for a “Ukraine Support Instrument.” That suggests EU-based defense contractors (like CSG, Rheinmetall, and others) are likely beneficiaries without and disclosure if any politicians are personally benefiting like Pelosi in the United States.
Despite substantial arms business, I found virtually no credible, publicly verifiable cases where an EU politician is documented as a shareholder — or major shareholder — in a company supplying Ukraine. This is simply being covered up. Shareholding disclosures for many European politicians do not always require them to declare holdings in privately held or non-public companies (especially defense firms). They made sure the laws they write always exonerate themselves.
Even when holdings are declared, they rarely specify the scale, affiliated subsidiaries, or whether the company has defense contracts — so linking a politician to “arms supply to Ukraine” becomes nearly impossible. I have found NOBODY in the press who has even bothered to produce any well-documented examples of a sitting EU politician with material shareholding in a firm known to supply Ukraine. WHY? Curiously, a 2025 Scandinavian Journal of Military Studies on ammunition supply-chains mentions “companies and inter-institutional relationships,” but does not document any politician ownership.
Many defense firms are privately held or structured via holding companies / trusts, which makes public shareholding disclosures harder to trace. There are no political transparency rules worth anything and they vary significantly across EU member states. Some require only limited disclosure; in others politicians may hold stakes indirectly (via holdings, blind trusts, family businesses, pension funds), complicating public traceability.
What we do know is certain, is that contract arms pipelines typically involve governments, intermediaries, export licences, not direct commercial sales — meaning “company X supplies Ukraine” may not appear in public procurement lists even if equipment ends up on the battlefield.
The combination of opacity (in shareholding) and indirect contract pipelines means that even well-informed public investigations may miss such connections because this is kept very behind the curtain. When these politicians constantly advocate war, if they are making a fortune on supplying Ukraine and sending people to their deaths, it seems nobody is willing to even open the door and ask a question when European War is now becoming inevitable.
The United States became the financial capital of the world after Britain entered World War I with no direct threat against the British people. Britain’s official declaration of war on August 4th, 1914, was primarily in response to Germany’s violation of Belgian neutrality. However, the reasons were more deeply rooted. Britain was not threatened. It claimed that the Belgian Neutrality Treaty (1839) was violated because Germany’s Schlieffen Plan required invading France through neutral Belgium. Britain was a guarantor (along with other powers) of Belgian neutrality under the 1839 Treaty of London. Ignoring this violation, Britain claimed it would call into question their credibility as a treaty guarantor and great power. That decision ended London as the financial capital of the world and it moved to New York.
I have been fighting hard behind the curtain to keep the US out of this next European War to conquer Russia. They will lose. They are playing Russian Roulette with Nuclear Weapons. NATO claims Russia will never push the button because they know what that would mean. But since the EU is NOT trying to force Russia out of Ukraine, this is about the conquest of Russia. If I was Putin and I know the objective is to totally destroy Russia, I would push the button.
Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, chair of NATO’s Military Committee, has recently suggested that a “pre-emptive strike” against Russia could, under certain circumstances, be justified as a form of defensive action. He argued that NATO needs to shift from being purely reactive (responding after attacks) to possibly “being more aggressive or proactive instead of reactive.” He acknowledged that considering “pre-emptive strikes” would depart from NATO’s traditional posture — but that under the pressure of ongoing “hybrid warfare” (cyber-attacks, sabotage, airspace violations, etc.), such options are being studied. He specifically said that in certain contexts a pre-emptive strike “could be considered a defensive action.”
This is what I have warned about. There are NO RATIONAL people in NATO. What he is justifying is I walk into a bar and punch you in the face calling it self-defense because if KNOW you really wanted to hit me first. If we strip away the Ukrainian BS and propaganda, reliable sources in Ukraine confirm that Russia has used hypersonic missiles and Ukraine claim that they have been able to intercept them 25% of the time is nonsense. They must launch all 32 missiles of a Patriot Missile System to even have a possible chance at interception. As with everything Ukraine puts out, there is hardly anything that can be verifiable. They are more concerned about pretending that they are successful to keep the money flowing in for their Lamborghinis and Ferraris in Monaco. Europe is not going to hold up very well in a conflict with Russia – it is suicide.
I cannot take credit for turning Trump. Perhaps I have contributed, but I have no confirmation. His new strategy warns Europe faces “the real and more stark prospect of civilizational erasure.” It also asserts that if present-day trends continue with immigration, demographic shifts, low birth rates, cultural/political changes, and suppression of free speech or democratic norms, “the continent will be unrecognizable in 20 years or less.” Yes, this is what our model is forecasting. The EU may not exist post 2030. Trump’s strategy also says some NATO members “will become majority non-European,” and that raises “open questions” about whether they will see their alliance with the U.S. the same way as original members. We are completing the 3rd wave by September 2nd, 2026. Here too, NATO and the Neocon began to implement this war with Russia in 2021 which was 72 years from its founding in 1949. NATO is in its death throes between 2026 and 2030.
Humanity’s gravitation toward war is a deeply complex phenomenon with roots in multiple overlapping domains—psychological, social, economic, political, and evolutionary. Rather than a single cause, it’s better understood as a tragic interplay of many factors. People who are drawn to positions of power involving conflict are deeply entrenched in tribalism. Humans evolved in groups that competed for resources. This fostered strong in-group/out-group dynamics, where loyalty to one’s group and suspicion or hostility toward outsiders could enhance survival. War emerges from such people because of their flawed character. It is amplified group identity—nationalism, ethnicity, religion, or ideology.
The Neocons told President Reagan he should not meet with Gorbachev even though they could not call him a communist, so they reverted to tribalism telling Reagan “you can never trust a Russian.” There is no discussion with these people. I have tried and they have only proven that I was an idealistic fool who though I could make then seek the light instead the darkness they carry with them. They always reject peace and live consumed by their hatred.
States and rulers have often used war to consolidate power, divert attention from domestic problems, or achieve geopolitical goals. The realist is forced to argue that in a world (no matter what its form Republic, Democracy, Dictatorship, or Monarchy), the thirst for power is the same just as justice is the same regardless of the form of government. Corruption, authoritarianism, lack of democratic checks, and poor governance can make war more likely. Leaders will far too often prioritize personal or regime survival over peace as we are witnessing in Europe rigt now. Historically, empires expanded through warfare, driven by economic exploitation and ideological beliefs in supremacy. The legacy of arbitrary borders and exploited grievances continues to fuel conflicts. Right now, European leaders are being driven by economic necessity to retain power, but simultaneously, they are blinded by ideological beliefs in supremacy that they can displace the United States and rise from the ashes this time from war.
