COMMENT FROM DC VISITOR:
D.C. was clean and safe. There were some National Guard troops walking around, but most of them were just kids fooling around and taking pictures in front of monuments like the rest of the tourists.
The city was skewed heavily to the left. I saw a few anti-Israel and anti-Trump protestors who seemed a little unhinged. The people I spoke with said the city was in absolute chaos during the George Floyd/BLM protests and that the National Guard and ICE raids were nothing in comparison.
I also went to the Spy Museum, which was a lot of fun. They had a wall honoring Ukraine with a picture of Putin in the crosshairs of a gun scope. The Cold War was the pinnacle of US espionage in recent history, and Russia and the USSR were used interchangeably. I skipped the 9/11 hall because it was a giant lie–we know what happened. The museum also claimed that only rogue spies in the US used torture mechanisms in modern days. There was one sentence on MKUltra and no mention of Project Monarch or any of the psychological warfare tactics.
I think they should send troops to the other big cities where crime has been allowed to run rampant in recent years. It felt safe to walk around at night, which is more than I could say about Philly or NYC. I’m sure the criminals cleared out because law and order were actually required and visible. Violent crime shouldn’t be downplayed. It’s preventable, and it would be nice if America became a high-trust society where we don’t fear other civilians on the streets. The troops and NG weren’t bothering anyone, but their presence alone probably commanded some basic civility.

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul has come under fire for stating that it would be unwise to send troops into Ukraine. “We are the only European troop contributor to station a combat-ready brigade in Lithuania. Doing that and also stationing troops in Ukraine would probably be too much for us,” Wadephul told the Table Today Podcast.
Sending troops to Ukraine is highly unpopular in Germany among the citizens, despite the government’s eagerness to support Ukraine with manpower. The foreign minister suggested that Germany could provide military and technical support without entering Ukraine. Critics claim he is simply attempting to appease the people and betraying Ukraine by not offering to send men into combat. He also voiced another unpopular opinion—working with the United States to potentially provide security guarantees.
“We are now hearing signals from Washington that they are prepared to do so [provide security guarantees], and this must then be worked out together with the Europeans, with Germany naturally having to play an important role,” Wadephul said in the interview, adding Berlin could provide military and technical help, among other things.
The Bundeswehr deployed 4,800 troops to Lithuania, and again, critics believe it is ridiculous to say that the military is stretched too thinly to deploy others directly to Ukraine. It will cost Germany an estimated 800 million euros annually to maintain their current presence in Lithuania. No one thinks of the cost involved with sending troops into Ukraine, which is of little importance compared to the broader implications of sending troops and then actively forcing the entire nation and the European Union to fight on behalf of Ukraine.
The neocons are waiting for that “push comes to shove” moment. The people are extremely vocal about their point of view on the matter. Those looking at the numbers and logic alone are warning against deployment. Anyone who understands history is keenly aware that German is on the brink of completely entering a war against Russia that it is unprepared to fight. The entire EU will become involved in the war if Germany sets foot into Ukraine, as Germany is the economic powerhouse supporting the bloc, and France, the second most powerful in terms of finance, has similar wartime ambitions. It appears that push will come to shove by next year on 2026.45 when our computer indicates a central turning point between the EU and Russia.

Ousted World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab has been cleared on any criminal wrongdoing following an ongoing investigation into fraud. “Following a thorough review of all facts, the Board has concluded that … there is no evidence of material wrongdoing by Klaus Schwab,” the board announced.
As mentioned in earlier posts, the WEF after an anonymous whistleblower claimed Schwab conspired with USAID to steal tens of millions in funding. Back in April, the WEF said its board unanimously supported the decision to initiate an independent investigation “following a whistleblower letter containing allegations against former Chairman Klaus Schwab. This decision was made after consultation with external legal counsel.” The board then sought to repair its relationship with Schwab and restore his dignity, along with the pious name of Davos.
Peter Brabeck-Letmathe acted as an interim chairman, and now that Schwab’s name has been cleared, the WEF has appointed its new leaders– Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, and Andre Hoffmann, vice-chair of Roche Holding. In a joint statement, the men blatantly stated their plan to combine government and business:
“ The world is more fragmented and complex than ever, but the need for a platform that brings together business, government, and civil society has never been greater. We believe the Forum can serve as a unique catalyst for cooperation, one that fosters trust, identifies shared goals, and turns dialogue into action.”
Stakeholder economics is at the forefront. It is of no coincidence that the corporation that purchased a large share of residential real estate during the pandemic is now at the helm of the same company wishing to usher in 15-minute cities—you will own nothing “turns dialogue into action.”
Anyone reading this blog is well-informed on Larry Fink and BlackRock. Billionaire André Hoffmann of Switzerland is an interesting selection as Roche Holding, founded by his grandfather, is one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. He is a major proponent for climate change efforts, yet his company has been accused of environmental breaches in the past.
Hoffman has been extremely critical of Trump and even denied the results of the 2024 US Presidential election. “I define myself as an idealist, and I would say that the couple of days after [Trump’s victory, it] was really quite difficult to pick [myself] up. This is a knockout,” says Hoffmann, speaking a few weeks after November’s US election. “Fifty-one per cent of Americans feel that a corrupt old man is going to make their life better? I’m sure it’s not true.” He criticizes RFK Jr. for investigating mRNA vaccinations and believes the people should blindly trust “the science.”
Larry Fink will work to force the corporate world to abide by ESG policies that he himself once decried. He will work on normalizing digitization of assets. Hoffman will focus on the health component of globalist dominance and control through weather manipulation theory. These men wield tremendous power individually but now plan to collaborate with the backing of the WEF to continue Schwab’s mission of the Great Reset.
Our computer had forecast that the WEF would enter a declining trend with the 2024 ECM turning point. This staged coup happened about 37 years after the first Davos meeting (8.6 x 4.3). From our model’s perspective, this was right on time. Now, Schwab and the WEF are working to repair ties.

QUESTION: Do you think the EU and Zelensky will yield?
PF
ANSWER: I believe Trump has made it clear that all support would be withdrawn. That includes intelligence. He has to play hardball. I think Trump told Merz no troops in Ukraine. I believe he knows that the EU, UK, NATO, and Zelensky cannot be trusted. I have been warning about the economic implications for the EU moving forward. It is disastrous. With economic growth at 0.5% and NATO demands 5%, you are looking at a European depression.

Following a historic peace summit consisting of EU leaders attending the White House, President Donald Trump says arrangements are beginning for a bilateral meeting between the leaders of Russia and Ukraine. If the approach is successful, this could be a significant move toward ending the conflict between the two countries.
President Trump – “I had a very good meeting with distinguished guests, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, of Ukraine, President Emmanuel Macron, of France, President Alexander Stubb, of Finland, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, of Italy, Prime Minister Keir Starmer, of the United Kingdom, Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Friedrich Merz, President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, in the White House, which ended in a further meeting in the Oval Office.
During the meeting we discussed Security Guarantees for Ukraine, which Guarantees would be provided by the various European Countries, with a coordination with the United States of America. Everyone is very happy about the possibility of PEACE for Russia/Ukraine.
At the conclusion of the meetings, I called President Putin, and began the arrangements for a meeting, at a location to be determined, between President Putin and President Zelenskyy. After that meeting takes place, we will have a Trilat, which would be the two Presidents, plus myself.
Again, this was a very good, early step for a War that has been going on for almost four years. Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, are coordinating with Russia and Ukraine. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” (LINK)
The “security guarantees” are a sticking point for many of us. From previous statements we can infer President Trump is willing to be a backstop to support the military forces of the EU and other countries. The U.K, France, Germany et al taking the leading role, and the USA is the “in case of emergency break glass” option.
At least that looks like the outline being proposed and organized.
‘We will work with our European allies and non-European countries, by the way, to build such a security guarantee’ — Rubio
‘We’re working on that right now… that will be something that will have to be in place after a peace deal’
