NATO’s new Secretary-General Mark Rutte believes that members must reduce spending on social programs to redirect funds into the war effort. Rutte is prepared to spend as if NATO were already at war. Social security programs and pensions must come secondary to the neocon agenda.
“On average, European countries easily spend up to a quarter of their national income on pensions, health and social security systems, and we need only a small fraction of that money to make defense much stronger,” Rutte told MEPs. NATO knows that incoming President Donald Trump will no longer subsidy other member states. Trump is calling on all NATO members to up their spending to 5%, but Rutte believes the best they can muster “will be impressively more than the 2 percent” initial target.
Rutte said it’s crucial to “bring NATO and the EU closer together” as it can no longer rely on the US for unlimited funding. The neocon retirement home refused to meet their obligatory 2% target until recent years on the heels of Trump initially threatening to pull out of the alliance followed by the Russia-Ukraine war. It’s highly unlikely that the organization would be calling for emergency funding if we were looking at a Kamala presidency. Most nations STILL cannot or will not meet their 2% target. These nations never had the pressure of finding funding since the US was always willing to write the check.
“We are not at war, but we are not at peace either,” Rutte commented. No peace is the precise agenda. There could be peace as no allied nation has been threatened. The threats are coming from within the alliance as a fear-mongering tactic. “We are safe now, but not in four or five years,” he said, adding later that if spending doesn’t go up Europeans should “get out your Russian language courses or go to New Zealand.”
The Dutch are familiar with Rutte’s rhetoric. Naturally, no plan was presented, but the people should be aware that politicians are prepared to punish civilians, including those who paid into poorly managed social systems throughout their long, tax-paying lives.

COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, I have written to RFK, Vance, Trump, and several Congress asking them to please pay attention to Socrates. Not a single one has ever gotten back to me. I have no faith that Trump will do what he says and all this tale of Greenland and Canada instead of the real issue of the swamp. Do you have any faith that his administration will do as he said?
P
ANSWER: No. You will NEVER get through to any of them because they are all doing the same as everyone else in the swamp – the staff runs interference. There are some people who have been trying to contact Trump. They have asked me if I would agree to meet if they can get a meeting. I politely responded sure, but I doubt any of them would agree to meet because their staff will not allow such a request to get through. Welcome to the SWAMP, which is really an ocean.
I have no real faith that we will see meaningful change for staff to prevent it. There are those who have ideas, and they see this as their turf now, so how dare you walk on their grass? Look, when people get to Washington, they see it as their achievement. They are not there to listen to us, the scum of the earth.
I cannot convince them about how to actually save the country. They are part of this crash and burn. My role is not to prevent it but to perhaps guide the recovery. But they will NEVER listen to me to prevent anything. They cannot see beyond the tip of their nose.
We are on our own –
DO NOT FORGET THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish Trump all the best. But his staff have him in a bubble already.

Washington DC is creating a surveillance state. We can debate the motives and intentions behind it, but the core of their creation aligns and supports a fully comprehensive American surveillance state.
We cannot be intellectually honest with each other about how the tools of a weaponized government were deployed against Americans, specifically in the example of presidential candidate Donald Trump, without accepting the tools exist for far more consequential reasons than just Donald Trump.
In this segment from April of 2024, Tucker Carlson (motive irrelevant) accurately outlined the purpose of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and how that legislatively created tool is being used by Washington DC, both parties.
Within this monologue Tucker Carlson hits on some accurate points to share with his audience. The commentary about HPSCI Chairman Mike Turner is spot on accurate. The IC pressure meetings are also true {SEE HERE}. The analysis of Speaker Mike Johnson also appears to be widely accurate. WATCH:
My personal experience with the IC surveillance state mirrors that described by Tucker Carlson. As you step into the world of real data, unfiltered by the systems intended to control our perspectives, the system tends to see you as a threat.
Ongoing research into the dollar-based Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) has made the surveillance system much more visible. All of these systems (Real ID, Digital Identity, Facial Recognition, metadata collection, AI search and result capability, etc.) are eventually going to merge and connect, unless we do something to stop the people who are creating this system.
Previously in 2013, Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz and former Department of Defense Chief of Staff, Kash Patel, appeared on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo to discuss President Donald Trump’s criminal case, the J6 targeting and the use of FISA-702 to conduct political surveillance.
I am prompting the earlier video to 02:20 to focus one aspect of the interview on the 2013 Republican led FISA-702 reauthorization and extension. I agree with almost everything Mr Patel says about the ramifications of the GOPe House, led by HPSCI Chairman Mike Turner, and the FISA extension. However, there is also an aspect that 99% of everyone misses, and within that dynamic we become victims to our own willful blindness. First, watch the segment on FISA-702 (prompted):
The CIA director, NSA director, ODNI, FBI Director, etc are not in charge of the compartments they represent. They are simply functionaries -middle men- who operate in the space between where the compass points are directed, where the data originates, and oversight of that data that is ultimately filtered and delivered to the functionaries, who then brief the representatives…. who then create policy… albeit flawed policy…. based on a very specific, controlled, compartmented and skewed information flow. (more)
The value of Kash Patel’s institutional currency is connected to this access, even with Republicans in charge. The same is true for any other member of the Intelligence Community, including John Ratcliffe, current CIA silo nominee.
As a result, the corrupt DC functionaries operate without any accountability, no corrective action ever takes place, no accountability is metered out, and WORSE…. an oblivious public cheer on people like Kash Patel and many others who give the illusion they are railing against corruption.
For those who choose denial and pretending over the brutal reality, their criticism of me is irrelevant. The truth exists regardless of our comfort level.
Accepting we are abused victims to professional gaslighting, manipulation and Machiavellian deceit, carried out by those who claim to be our allies, is painful and unnerving. However, failing to accept the reality only retains our status as victims; we become codependent enablers and battered conservatives. The surveillance system continues to be assembled and refined. It is a remarkable dynamic.
Many people can now see how DC functionaries played this intelligence game against President Donald Trump, using the false justification of “national security.” However, those same voices cannot see how we are continually being played by the same defenders of a corrupt system within DC.
Changing the system first begins by awakened people thinking about the long-term ramifications from what is being assembled. What is the value of national security, when the liberty that secures the values of America is destroyed in the process?
Either the Fourth Amendment means something, or it does not!

Hundreds of people took to the streets of Manhattan on New Year’s Day to demand an intifada revolution. The Palestinian Youth Movement, the Party for Socialism and Liberation and the People’s Forum forcibly continued the planned “protest” in the wake of two potential terrorist attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas. Why are we permitting pro-terrorist groups to take to the streets?
Free speech is one thing, but directly calling for violence on behalf of foreign nations is not permitted. If a right-wing organization held a “protest” of this nature, the media would swarm it bees to honey and deem it as extremist terrorism. Why is this (D)ifferent?
Aside from the obvious, we must look at who is funding the civil unrest. The Goldman Sachs Philanthropy Fund provided the Palestinian Youth Movement, the Party for Socialism and Liberation and the People’s Forum with $18 million in recent years. The group has a strong base at Columbia University and is responsible for numerous anti-Israel protests. People’s Forum co-executive director Manolo De Los Santos has called for the need to make “untenable for the politics of usual to take place in this country” and called for the university encampments to remain open as long as possible. He openly criticizes the Zionist rulers of Columbia University, and the group often holds pro-Marxist discussions to stir up unrest.
The People’s Forum reached out to U.S Senate Finance Committee chairman Ron Wyden (D., Ore.) and Ranking Member Mike Crapo (R., Idaho) to block the passage of H.R.6408 /S.4136 that would remove funded from any non-profits deemed to be terrorist organizations, claiming its origins were promoted by “anti-Palestinian bias.” The bill has yet to pass.
Goldman has been funding this organization for years. In 2018, they provided the group with $4,400,000 in funding after granting them $2,500,000 the year prior. The Chinese Communist Party has also been supporting this organization, but claims of foreign interference are silent. The New York Times reported that the People’s Forum is also funded by Neville Roy Singham, who has been linked to the Chinese Communist Party and its propaganda efforts.
“We will be here every single year for generation after generation until total liberation and return,” protesters shouted. America is being attacked from within. Foreign agencies have preyed upon the vulnerable youth and convinced them to march against their own country. There is a GLOBAL EFFORT to heighten civil unrest as other major cities also witnessed similar “protests.” The endgame is a push toward their dream of a Marxist utopia that requires toppling society as we know it.
