Biden Gifts $4.7 Billion to Ukraine

Biden and Zelensky

Joe Biden and the entire neocon establishment are working overtime to spur World War III before Trump takes office in January. Biden announced that he would “forgive” $4.7 billion to Ukraine that was initially intended to be a mere loan.

Now, Congress approved a $61 billion Ukraine aid package in April. Kyiv agreed to pay back all but $9.4 billion of that loan. However, the bill had a hidden clause that permitted the debt to be forgiven in its entirety before 2026.

“Sadly, the Ukraine 1st, America Last Caucus defeated my resolution,” Senator Rand Paul stated on Wednesday after attempting to block Biden from forgiving the debt. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller felt confident that US representatives would pass the bill as both parties support this endless war.

They’ve already permitted Ukraine to use long-range missiles from the US, resulting in an embassy temporarily closing in Russia after rumors swirled of a potential air raid attack. The embassy has reopened, but relations between Russia and the US are deteriorating quickly.

Zelensky went on to explain that the “coming weeks will be crucial for our diplomatic efforts with various partners in Europe, America, and the Global South,” suggesting he was taking orders from the Western neocons who he sold out his nation to for 30 pieces of silver. They are attempting to leave Trump with the most chaotic situation to tackle domestically and internationally. The question remains: How much damage can Joe Biden and his handlers do before January 20?

Former CDC Director Claims COVID Originated in the USA

Former CDC director Robert Redfield, an outspoken critic of Antony Fauci, believes COVID-19 had sinister origins. We know the NIH was funding gain-of-function research under Fauci at a lab in Wuhan, China. However, Redfield believes the virus leaked from a domestic lab located at the University of North Carolina.

Redfield believes Dr. Ralph Baric was the mastermind behind the creation of the virus. Baric was among the first to alert government officials that SARS-CoV-2 was rapidly spreading. In January 2020, Baric told the government “had three months” before they would be faced with a deadly pandemic. He has spent his life studying coronaviruses, studying animal models to rest the efficacy of new treatments. Baric helped to develop remdesivir months before March 2020, and the FDA authorized its usage in May of that year.

The Biden Administration funded a study that claimed the origins of COVID-19 were not manmade. The virus somehow passed from human to animal and no individual or institution was responsible. As they told us from the beginning, Chinese peasants in Wuhan contracted the virus from consuming diseased bat meat. But skepticism remained. Then the narrative changed that there may have been an unintentional leak from the Wuhan lab and reports emerged that workers in the lab fell ill with the virus as early as 2019.

Theories about Baric’s role in creating the virus have been circulating for years. Senator Rand Paul has been adamant in finding those responsible for the “lab leak” and he questioned Baric’s role in front of US Congress. “For years, Dr. Ralph Baric, a virologist in the U.S., has been collaborating with Dr. Shi Zhengli of the Wuhan Virology Institute, sharing his discoveries about how to create super-viruses,” Paul said on May 11, 2021. “This gain-of-function research has been funded by the NIH [National Institutes of Health].”

Baric himself did not deny the possibility of a lab leak, however, he insisted it originated in China where they have fewer restrictions on studying live viruses. Yet, he does not deny studying mRNA vaccines on mice at his lab in North Carolina and working closely with the Wuhan lab that he so frequently criticizes.

Redfield has consistently said that the COVID-19 virus was engineered. ‘I think he [Dr. Baric] probably helped create some of the original viral lines, but I can’t prove that. But he was very involved,” the former director said. Although he would not go as far as to say that the US framed China for leaking the virus, he said its original purpose was to be developed as a biodefense program and the US played a “substantial” role in its creation.

Under the incoming Trump Administration, Senator Paul and Robert F. Kennedy will certainly hold the NIH, USAID and the Department of Defense responsible for the pandemic. The world deserves to finally learn the truth behind the origins of the global pandemic that changed the course of history.

Will Ukraine Split?

Ukraine SSplit

Ukrainian intelligence agencies released a serious claim that the Russian Ministry of Defense leaked the Kremlin’s final plan for Ukraine that involves separating the nation into three territoriesInterfax Ukraine News states that their source will propose the divided territories to Donald Trump once he enters the White House, with plans taking until 2045 to achieve.

Although no one can confirm this information with certainty, the proposal—which no one will accept—is quite interesting. To begin, Russia will absorb the eastern regions, including but not limited to currently Russian-occupied territories.

The second territory, the “pro-Russian state entity,” would not be within Russia but rather a Russian-controlled state. The third portion of land would be considered “disputed territory” that neighboring nations like Romania, Hungary, and Poland could absorb as they see fit.

The alleged leaked document also envisions two possible scenarios for victory over Ukraine. Scenario one is the “formation of a multipolar world and the division of spheres of influence by leading actors,” while scenario two is “regionalization/chaotization.” The press has not revealed the exact nature of either scenario, but in both cases, Russia will take back the land that started this entire conflict.

There are also two unfavorable scenarios: “dominance of the U.S. and the West” and “acquisition by China of the status of the world’s leading power.” A situation where China usurps Ukraine for itself is quite amusing.

The documents allegedly state that “one of the most important tasks is to create a new world order.” That has NEVER been the intention. I must say this all sounds like fearmongering for the West. Kyiv Intendentreported Russia has been attempting to overpower the US and post-World War II global financial system. These claims are completely baseless and have no footing in reality. Russia has begged to be accepted into the international community for purposes of cooperation and trade for decades, long before Putin was appointed by Yeltsin. Russia was a shunned nation long before Ukraine or even Crimea for that matter. Putin has been pleading with West for its very existence – but the answer is always NO.

President Trump Nominates Pam Bondi for U.S. Attorney General – The Deep Swamp Smiles


Posted originally on the CTH on November 21, 2024 | Sundance

The nomination of former Florida AG Pam Bondi for the position of U.S. Attorney General is a big mistake; not for the corrupt background of Bondi that we presume President Trump is not aware of, but rather for the background of Pam Bondi the Deep Swamp is almost certainly aware of.

Within the background story of state AG corruption and unlawful activity, Pam Bondi is very easily leveraged, blackmailed and controlled.

I presume at this writing that President Donald Trump is completely unaware of what Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi did during her time in office.  The Florida Governor at the time was Rick Scott, who could most certainly corroborate much of the background, albeit now with layers and layers of serious political ramifications.

If you followed the story around the Trayvon Martin shooting and the subsequent arrest, jail and trial of George Zimmerman, you probably know the majority of what Florida AG Pam Bondi did.  However, it was almost 12-years-ago now.  So, for those who don’t remember here’s the story.

On the evening of February 26, 2012, in Sanford Florida, George Zimmerman fired one shot into the heart of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, fatally killing him.

The Sanford Police lead investigator into the shooting was Chris Serino; the Police Chief was Bill Lee, and the local prosecutor was Norm Wolfinger.

Detective Chris Serino questioned and investigated George Zimmerman, who used a traditional “self-defense” justification for the shooting.  Eventually the case went to trial and the same “self-defense” justification was used in court.  Despite what you might have heard in the media, it was never a “stand your ground” defense.  It simply was not needed.

In addition to questioning Zimmerman, Serino documented two eye-witnesses to the shooting.  One woman in an apartment who saw the initial encounter between Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman, and another eye-witness, a man in an adjacent apartment who saw and partially recorded, the entire confrontation as it unfolded on the pathway approximately 20 feet from him.

The second witness called 911 and described in real time what he was seeing.  Trayvon was straddling George in an “MMA style” position and slamming Zimmerman’s head into the sidewalk.  During the 911 recording you can hear Zimmerman calling out, “help me; somebody help me.” [NOTE: Both of those witnesses as well as the recording were later buried but came out at trial.]

After a thorough investigation, all of the statements by George Zimmerman were corroborated by the eye-witnesses, the forensic evidence, the audio recording, and all the physical evidence found at the scene.  Detective Chris Serino gave his investigative report to Police Chief Lee along with the recommendation that Zimmerman’s claim of self-defense was valid and justified.  Serino and Lee then consulted with prosecutor Norm Wolfinger who reviewed the evidence and agreed.

ESSENTIALLY: Zimmerman was looking for Trayvon, who appeared from the bushes (Witness #1) punched Zimmerman in the face, and then the fight went down the sidewalk to where they ended up on the ground (Witness #2).  After Zimmerman was screaming for help, getting his head slammed into the concrete, he pulled a pistol from his belt and fired one shot into the chest of Martin.  All witnesses and evidence supported this series of events.

Detective Chris Serino had the responsibility to tell Trayvon Martin’s father, Tracy Martin, his findings from the investigation.  He played the audio from the 911 call as part of his explanation to Tracy Martin and his girlfriend Alicia Stanley.

Alicia Stanley worked in the corrections department and was not happy. Ms. Stanley was essentially the only mother Trayvon had ever known.  Sybrina Fulton from Miami Gardens was presented as Trayvon’s mother later on; however, Trayvon had not lived with Sybrina for almost 10-years.

As a corrections worker, Ms. Stanley was eventually put into contact with a Florida “civil rights lawyer” named Benjamin Crump.  After some back-and-forth positioning and discussion, Crump decided to champion a wrongful death case for the Martin family against George Zimmerman, the City of Sanford and the Sanford Police Department.

Benjamin Crump hired a PR firm run by Ryan Julison to create media pressure.  Using his civil rights contacts, Crump requested support from groups like Al Sharpton, Dream Defenders, and allies in the DOJ.  That approach led to AG Eric Holder and eventually President Barack Obama.

Additionally, having worked previously (2007) with Florida prosecutor Pam Bondi in the Martin Lee Anderson case, Benjamin Crump called the now Florida Attorney General Bondi for support.  The detective (Serino) sided with George Zimmerman.  The Police Chief, Bill Lee, agreed with Serino and the evidence.  The local Sanford prosecutor (Norm Wolfinger) refused to bring a case against Zimmerman based on the evidence.

…. Enter Florida AG Pam Bondi, who told Florida Governor Rick Scott a special prosecutor was needed for her friend Ben Crump.

Police Chief, Bill Lee, was removed from authority; then the local prosecutor, Norm Wolfinger, was removed; eventually the lead Detective, Chris Serino, was removed.

No prosecutor in Florida wanted to touch the case because the evidence against Zimmerman just didn’t exist.  However, Florida AG Bondi replaced the Sanford officials with State investigators working for a new “special prosecutor” Angela Corey, out of Jacksonville.

District Attorney Angela Corey (pictured above right) was Pam Bondi’s campaign manager.

Martin family attorney’s Benjamin Crump and Daryl Parks then began creating a fabricated case construct to sell to the media.  The PR firm led by Ryan Julison provided the initial media contacts and narrative distribution of the fabricated case.  The majority of that fabricated case still exists in the public psyche despite all of the truth that came out during the trial of a transparently innocent George Zimmerman.

Pam Bondi was part of that fraudulent prosecution architecture. In fact, without her origination the state case against Zimmerman was non-existent.  Everything told about the Trayvon Martin shooting was a lie, including his age, the “skittles and iced-tea” story, this background criminal record, Trayvon’s known drug use, and just about everything else.  It was all an entirely manufactured Lawfare case, pushed to a compliant media.

None of the witness statements were ever in the media. None of the (full context) 911 call evidence was ever in the media. None of the images of George Zimmerman’s face and head were ever in the media.  None of the corroborating forensic evidence was ever in the media. None of the accurate pictures of Trayvon Martin were ever in the media. Nothing.  It was one big, fabricated Lawfare operation headed by Benjamin Crump and Special Prosecutor Angela Corey.

However, it’s actually worse.  The State Prosecutors and Benjamin Crump claimed there was an “ear-witness”, witness #8 at trial, a mysterious Trayvon Martin “girlfriend” witness they refused to identify but swore she heard Zimmerman threatening and attacking Trayvon Martin.

At the trial you saw witness #8 as Rachael “that’s retarded sir” Jeantel.

This was the state star prosecution witness used to construct the case against Zimmerman, and she was protected and isolated until the very last second when she was called to the stand at trial.

Except there was an immediate problem, Jeantel was never an ear-witness, she was never Trayvon’s girlfriend, she only had cursory knowledge of Trayvon when he infrequently visited the neighborhood in Miami Gardens, and she never authored the supposed statement attributed to her; heck, she couldn’t even read it, and she was NEVER Trayvon Martin’s girlfriend.

Everything about Rachael Jeantel as a witness was entirely fabricated by Ben Crump and Angela Corey.  They literally put a fabricated witness on the stand.  Attorney General Pam Bondi knew all about it, in real time, as the false witness was being created and flown back and forth from Miami to Jacksonville in order to try and get some form of story aligned.

Let me be very clear.  Florida AG Pam Bondi knew that her special prosecutor, Angela Corey, and her friend, Benjamin Crump, had manufactured an entirely false and fictitious witness against George Zimmerman.

Everyone, including AG Pam Bondi, was willing to put a transparently innocent man into prison; even to the extent of manufacturing a witness; in order to achieve a racially equitable political outcome that would assist their careers.

And don’t forget, throughout this entire time – George Zimmerman was kept locked in jail, pending trial.

This same Pam Bondi is the person President Trump is relying upon to clean out the corruption in Washington DC’s Main Justice system.

Pam Bondi is the person who is going to stop “weaponizing” the justice system?

Think about it.

Many of you are probably reading this aspect of the story for the first time.  However, what we do know with as much certainty as we knew going into the George Zimmerman trial, is that every element of the Deep State knows exactly what Pam Bondi did in Florida with that case in 2012 and 2013.

The Intelligence Community and the people who control the DOJ know every single detail of that corrupt Bondi timeline, complete with emails, call logs, transcripts, text messages, strategy meeting notes and more.

They know all of it, and they will leverage that as blackmail (and more) against her just as soon as President Trump starts to think Pam Bondi is going to make a difference.

Wrongful prosecution by the State, on the scale of manufacturing false witnesses, does not have a statute of limitations.

In 2016 President-elect Donald Trump did not know his Nat Sec Advisor Mike Flynn was an unregistered foreign lobbyist for Turkey.

In 2024, I highly doubt President-elect Donald Trump has any idea what attack vectors a completely compromised Pam Bondi carries into the AG role. Including her being a registered foreign lobbyist for Qatar.

We shall see…..

AG Nominee Pam Bondi and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles – Ballard Partners Law Firm, Lobbyists


Posted originally on the CTH on November 22, 2024 | Sundance 

It would appear that President Trump’s campaign co-chair, and current selection for Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, was the link that pushed Pam Bondi to become the next Attorney General nominee.

From the Associated Press:

[…] Bondi worked as a lobbyist for Ballard Partners, the powerful Florida-based firm where Trump’s campaign chief and incoming chief of staff Susie Wiles was a partner. Her U.S. clients have included General Motors, the commissioner of Major League Baseball and a Christian anti-human-trafficking advocacy group.

She also lobbied for a Kuwaiti firm, according to Justice Department foreign agent filings and congressional lobbying documents. She registered as a foreign agent for the government of Qatar; her work was related to anti-human-trafficking efforts leading up to the World Cup, held in 2022.

Bondi also represented the KGL Investment Company KSCC, a Kuwaiti firm also known as KGLI, lobbying the White House, National Security Council, State Department and Congress on immigration policy, human rights and economic sanctions issues. (Source)

You might note, Pam Bondi and Mr James Rubin are the “key personnel” on the foreign agent registration notification.  In his current role working for Joe Biden, James Rubin heads the U.S. State Department’s Global Engagement Center.

June, 2024 – WARSAW, Poland (AP) — The United States and Poland on Monday launched an international operation based in the Polish capital whose mission is to help Ukraine counter Russian disinformation.

James Rubin, a senior U.S. diplomat responsible for countering disinformation, and Tomasz Chłoń, a Polish diplomat tasked with the same mandate, took part in a ceremony inaugurating the new Ukraine Communications Group.

The group, which begins its work Tuesday, will include representatives from 12 countries including Canada, France, Germany, Finland, Italy and several other NATO members as well as Ukraine itself, Rubin said.

[…] “The group is to confront the deceptive narratives about Russian aggression against Ukraine and to work for an honest representation of reality in the global information environment,” Poland’s government said in a statement. “This is a strong signal of our shared determination to continue supporting Ukraine in its fight against the Russian invasion.”

Rubin, who heads the U.S. State Department’s Global Engagement Center, said Warsaw was a logical location for the center given the many officials who pass through the Polish capital going in and out of Ukraine during the war.

The Global Engagement Center works to highlight disinformation by what it considers hostile states. Rubin said it has already had some success in debunking Russian disinformation campaigns. (read more)

James Rubin, who served as a diplomat in President Bill Clinton’s administration, now in the Biden administration, was married to Christiane Amanpour from 1998 until 2018. {Source} In their New York apartment they had a favorite artwork depicting the attack on the World Trade Center.

2010: “A massive painting that I got in Iran, a few years ago, by Farideh Lashai, a friend who is also Iran’s pre-eminent abstract-expressionist painter. It gives me joy every time I walk in my door.” {source}

So, Pam Bondi was working for Susie Wiles as a Ballad Partners lobbyist for Qatar, together with James Rubin who works for Joe Biden to combat Russian disinformation and support Ukraine as the head of the U.S. State Dept Global Engagement Center.

There is no UniParty, nah.

Nothing to see here folks, move along…. move along.

Say hello to our next U.S. Attorney General.

Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles and President Donald Trump

Facts don’t care about our feelings.

Consumers Pay Tariffs


Posted originally on Nov 21, 2024 by Martin Armstrong 

Tariffs

Donald Trump believes tariffs could offset taxes, but tariffs will be a tax in itself to the American consumer. Trump is proposing to raise taxes from 60% to 100% on Chinese goods. He would also like to implement a universal tariff from 10% to 20% on all international imports. Ultimately, the consumer will end up paying the bill to offset these increase.

If we get tariffs, we will pass those tariff costs back to the consumer,” AutoZone CEO Philip Daniele said, adding that the company will protect itself by raising prices before the tariffs take effect. Countless companies have come out to say that they will absolutely pass on the added cost to their consumers. It is not as simple as moving manufacturing out of China or to America.

“If we look back historically when tariffs were enacted seven years ago, it did result in higher prices for customers,” Walmart CFO John David Rainey said. “We’re concerned that significantly increased tariffs could lead to increased costs for our customers at a time when they are still feeling the remnants of inflation.”

Lowe’s expressed similar concerns. “Roughly 40% of our cost of goods sold are sourced outside of the US, and that includes both direct imports and national brands through our vendor partners,” said CFO Brandon Sink. “And as we look at potential impact, certainly would add product costs, but timing and details remain uncertain at this point.”

Trade War 2

The National Retail Federation (NRF) conducted a study that revealed Trump’s proposed tariffs could cost US consumers between $46 billion and $78 billion annually, with the average household paying between $362 to $624 more on goods per year. The NRF called these proposed tariffs a “tax on all Americans,” and noted that lower-income Americans, who often purchase cheaper goods produced in China, will be disproportionately affected. The federation believes apparel costs will rise from $13.9 billion to $24 billion, footwear will rise to $10.7 billion from $6.4 billion, travel goods will increase to $3.9 billion from $2.2 billion, furniture will average $13.1 billion more compared to the current $8.5 billion, and household appliances will increase to $10.9 billion from $6.4 billion.

“A tariff is a tax paid by the U.S. importer, not a foreign country or the exporter. This tax ultimately comes out of consumers’ pockets through higher prices,” Jonathan Gold, NRF VP of Supply Chain and Customs Policy, stated.

Trump believes that these tariffs will bring manufacturing back to America and force companies to hire American. While the US desperately needs to boost its manufacturing sector, these tariffs are simply not the solution. Companies may seek to reduce their own reliance on US goods. China in particular will retaliate and they do so with precision as we have seen with their previous targets on agriculture products that the US relies on like pork and soybeans.

Imposing high tariffs can disrupt global supply chains and negatively impact international trade relationships. I disagree with the mercantilism approach that focuses on maximizing exports while minimizing the need for imports through tariffs and other barriers. Not only is US manufacturing not set up for this model at this time, but it is also absolutely counterproductive to global trade. Not to mention that China’s middle class is set to outpace America’s. They have a far larger population and America may no longer be the primary country that other nations line up to sell to.

Tariffs never promote peace. Rome lasted over 1,000 years because it had FREE TRADE. Rome was not corrupt everyone benefitted. As long as the PEOPLE are trading back and forth, they provide check and balance against government to create peace.
