The Dutch government believed it could prevent China from stealing “crucial technological knowledge” by seizing a private semiconductor company, Nexperia. The Amsterdam court of appeals installed new leadership and provided them with sole power to override any decision made by the board. The Netherlands was keen to prevent China from exporting chips back to the mainland, but it overlooked one major factor—the majority of Nexperia’s manufacturing occurs on Chinese soil.
Nexperia may have facilities in Europe, but they’re primarily focused on testing. The leading 80,000 square-meter assembly site is located in Guangdong province, China. China’s Ministry of Commerce may now prevent Nexperia from exporting semiconductor chips to not just the Netherlands but all of Europe. The facility in Guangdong relied on the Dutch facility to add the finishing touches on its semiconductor chips and can expand its own facilities to bypass the Netherlands entirely.
The Dutch government will claim that it prevented China from acquiring crucial technological information by seizing a private company. In reality, the plan utterly backfired as the chip shortage is coupled with advancing demand due to an outpouring of technological advances.
European jobs are at risk. China can easily begin testing at its mainland facilities. Recently released documents show that the United States pressured the Dutch government to replace Nexperia’s CEO, otherwise, the company would remain on the US “entity list.” The US Commerce Department recently expanded its regulations against any subsidiary majority-owned by China that will now face the same regulations as its parent company. “The fact that the company’s CEO is still the same Chinese owner is problematic,” the minutes of the meeting said, as cited by the document. “It is almost certain that the CEO will have to be replaced to qualify for the exemption from the entity list.”
A Dutch high court approved the seizure. US influence strongly impacted the decision, but the Netherlands has also sought to ostracize China. Europe fears Russian invasion and believes China is responsible for aiding Putin’s “crusade” that will expand into the rest of Europe. The US and EU are fighting China through economic warfare and using the free market as cannon fodder.
The provisions placed by the Democrats are utterly absurd. The headlines discuss the issue of health care without mentioning the endless demands they’ve made that in no way benefit America or the American people. Half of our elected representatives are refusing to reopen the government unless the GOP agrees to send $5 billion in taxpayer funds to foreign nations.
What will these foreign nations do with our $5 billion in aid so crucial that the US government cannot effectively operate without it? Naturally, the majority of the package ($1.8 billion) will be funneled through USAID into NGOs that line politicians’ pockets. The organization will also require an additional $200 for administration costs.
Global Health and PEPFAR-linked Programs requires $900 million to fund globalist disease-based control through shady NGOs, the World Health Organization, and UNICEF. Humanitarian and Disaster Relief (International Disaster Assistance) to the tune of $850 million must be sent to places like Ukraine, Gaza and Sudan. Peacekeeping and Security Support will require $700 million and will be spent on FAILED missions in Haiti, Lebanon, and Mali, among others.
Forget America’s economy—the Democrats wants to provide $600 million to the Economic Support Fund (ESF) & Democracy Initiatives. The money will go toward anti-corruption measure, ironically, and governance and freedom programs throughout Eastern Europe and Latin America. Since the debt ceiling is of no concern, the Democrats want to spend another $440 to global organizations like FAO, UNDP, and the International Development Association.
The situation becomes stranger when you look at the details. Honduras apparently needs $25 million in aid immediately for “climate resiliency.” The Balkans require $5 million LGBTQ democracy grants. There is a plan to send $2 million to support Democratic feminist principles in Africa. Again, half of America’s elected officials believe the government simply cannot operate without this funding.
The Democrats cannot fathom why Republicans are not willing to spend an additional $1.5 TRILLION. That’s adding 25% of all federal spending on top of the current budget. Yet, these politicians grab their microphones and cry that the GOP wants to prevent “middle-class folk” from achieving the American dream. These people have destroyed the middle class and are intent on destroying the US economy because their actions only benefit their wallets rather than the people.

The Fed may create policy, but it is ultimately dictated by the markets. Powell came out and reaffirmed the central bank’s fears of a hiring slowdown. Soon, the bank will no longer shrink its $6.6 trillion balance sheet, previously allowing $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities and Treasuries to mature each month without replenishment. Powell insists that the Fed needed to buy into these vehicles during the post-pandemic recovery to lower rates in a failed attempt to manipulate the business cycle.
“With the clarity of hindsight, we could have—and perhaps should have—stopped asset purchases sooner,” Powell said. “Our real-time decisions were intended to serve as insurance against downside risk.”
The Treasury is issuing record debt, and the private sector is no longer interested in purchasing. Capital is moving out of public debt, thus the Fed has no choice but to halt buying. China began selling off US debt long ago. Japan, the top foreign holder of US debt, is facing a massive default due to its own mishandling of fiscal policy. Foreign central banks have been net sellers of Treasuries for years, and domestic institutions will not absorb endless new issuance without higher yields. The Fed is stuck because it must continue expanding the balance sheet merely to fund government, but it will NEVER be sufficient because politicians spend into eternity.
The current administration believes lowering rates will fix everything. Cheaper borrowing will not entice businesses to take on more debt when they do not have confidence in the future. Borrowing costs do not matter when businesses see demand waning. The central bank has been conditioned through Keynesian lenses to lower when hiring slows.
The Fed’s tinkering will merely buy time. The central bank has lost control over the bond market, while the government’s confidence years ago caused a massive swing from public to private.
QUESTION: You believe that Zelensky impedes peace with Russia?
GB
ANSWER: Of course, Zelensky, I believe, is a NeoNazi and he gets his instructions from the Neocons and London. He pretended to be Christian, like George Soros, and joked about confiscating the assets of Russians and Jews. He announced he was suddenly Jewish ONLY after he became president.
I believe that he must be forced to have an election and let the Ukrainian people decide. Had the Minsk Agreement been hnored, there would NEVER have been a war. It is time to end the propaganda and tell the truth.
Putin initially tried to explain to Zelensky the importance of the Minsk Agreement.
Zelensky has even called for NATO to nuke Moscow in pre-emptive strikes. The hatred in Ukraine of Russians goes beyond all reason. They blame Russians when Stalin was from Georgia, and his right-hand man, who proposed taking the food from Ukraine, which led to the starvation of millions, was in fact a Ukrainian Jew from Liev, Lazar Kaganovich (1893-1991), who most likely wanted retribution against them for their persecution of Jews.
They blame the Russians for the tyranny of Stalin, whom even Lenin warned the Duma that he should not succeed him. It is often rummored that perhaps Stalin poisoned Lenin. By embalming Lenin and displaying him like a saint’s relic, Stalin and the Party leadership transformed Lenin into a secular deity. This “Lenin cult” gave the Soviet regime a sacred center—an object of mass devotion. Stalin positioned himself as the guardian of Lenin’s legacy, gaining legitimacy as Lenin’s rightful heir.
Lenin’s death could have divided the Party—especially since Lenin had warned against Stalin’s rise in his “Testament.” Stalin neutralized that threat by controlling Lenin’s memory. The embalming turned Lenin into an eternal revolutionary, and Stalin used that to suggest continuity between Lenin’s vision and his own rule—even though their policies diverged sharply.
Instead, they latch on to a comment from April 2005 when Putin told the nation that the collapse of the Soviet empire “was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century” and had fostered separatist movements inside Russia that we will also see in the United States and Europe when any centralized government becomes authoritarian. But they have taken Putin’s statements out of context about the Soviet collapse, which was a tragedy for Russians. He said:
“First and foremost it is worth acknowledging that the demise of the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century. … As for the Russian people, it became a genuine tragedy. Tens of millions of our fellow citizens and countrymen found themselves beyond the fringes of Russian territory.” He also referred to the Chechnya separatist movement that became an “epidemic of collapse has spilled over to Russia itself.”
Indeed, the Donbas region in Ukraine stranded Russians who had moved there for various reasons. They did not see themselves as Ukrainians, and Zelensky banned their language and their Orthodox Christianity, even ordering that Christmas would now be December 25th. This was the greatest tragedy that the Russians were stranded. What the fake news will not report is all the intermarriages, even in Ukraine, between native Ukrainians and Russians.
(ethnic Russians)
Estonia: 20.9 %
Latvia: 25.4 %
Lithuania: 5.0 %
Ukraine: 29.59 %
Moldova: 15.3%
Romania: 0.5%
Bulgaria, 0.24 %
They overlook 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 the massive purges that killed millions, but noted his role in defeating the Nazis in World War 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.
As long as our fake news continually reports the Neocon/ NATO propaganda that Putin invaded to take all of Ukraine unprovoked, why should Russia believe anything that comes from the West? A Gallup poll in mid-2025 found that 69% of Ukrainians favor “a negotiated end to the war as soon as possible,” compared to 24% who support fighting until total victory.
The “Gradus Research” poll in February 2025 said that 23% of respondents would vote for Zelensky if elections were held immediately, though the survey also reported many undecided voters.
Peace is attainable, and I believe that the key is to cut off ALL money to Ukraine for anything until Zelensky stands for election. The Ukrainian people should be allowed to vote on the future of their own country. We were denied the right to vote on going to any war, like Vietnam. These decisions are always made in the backroom. What is taking place in Ukraine is no different. Let the people decide their own future, not NATO and London.
In a 1958 speech to the Radio and Television News Directors Association, veteran CBS journalist Edward R. Murrow told a room full of TV executives, “We are currently wealthy, fat, comfortable and complacent.” Murrow produced a series of reports that helped lead to the censure of Senator Joseph McCarthy and his trumped-up witch hunt for communists, when it was revealed that he was making accusations without evidence. Murrow was one of journalism’s greatest figures, noted for his honesty and integrity in delivering the news; we have lost so much ever since that standard. Murrow used his position to take on powerful politicians and defend the American people, a free press as envisioned by Thomas Jefferson. He also exposed issues such as segregation and warned that the new TV medium was being used to “distract, delude, amuse and insulate” the public.
The FCC repealed the Fairness Doctrine, which has been rather disastrous. The Fairness Doctrine required that TV and radio stations holding FCC-issued broadcast licenses to (a) devote some of their programming to controversial issues of public importance; and (b) allow the airing of opposing views on those issues. This meant that political programs were required to include opposing opinions on the topic under discussion. Broadcasters had an active duty to determine the spectrum of views on a given issue and include those people best suited to represent those views in their programming. That meant you had to relay both sides of an issue. Today, mainstream media no longer has to be fair. They can spread all the propaganda and only say what the government demands. Hence, nothing that is real is fit for the news if it goes against corporate management or government demands. We are plagued with Terrorism as the excuse to eliminate all privacy, as the excuse to raise taxes. This paranoia is not even as honest as McCarthyism, which at least was about Communists. Today, we are subjected to Obamaism, but nobody will defend the people against exaggerated terrorism.
