America is desperate for rare earth minerals. China was supplying the US with around 70% of all such minerals, but they’re not going to supply them to an enemy nation to create weapons. As I mentioned yesterday, this is precisely why America is desperate to access Ukraine. I received a few comments asking why the US has not begun digging, and unfortunately, they are unable to reach those crucial minerals due to the ongoing war.
It is estimated that Ukraine holds 5% of the world’s critical raw materials. Ukrainian officials believe they have 19 million tonnes of graphite reserves and significant deposits of titanium, rare earth metals, and lithium. The current plan would require harvesting up to HALF of Ukraine’s minerals and rare earth materials.
On April 30, 2025, Ukraine and the US finalized a minerals deal and established a United States–Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund. Congress approved a $50 million defense package to Ukraine through direct commercial sales (DCS). Trump is a businessman first and foremost—the mineral deal had to be approved before he would approve of any aid package. The United States now has preferential rights to extract minerals from Ukraine.
Why hasn’t the US begun digging? An estimated 50% of Ukrainian minerals are in areas under Russian control. The Donbas region, the Donetsk and Luhansk are rich in critical minerals, rare earth minerals, coal, and gas. They host the Shevchenko lithium field. Russia currently controls 40% of Ukraine’s metal resources and 56% of its coal reserves. Other essential sites are within a 10-mile radius of occupied enemy territory. Dnipropetrovsk & Kharkiv have uranium, but they are unstable due to frontline advances. Zaporizhzhia has the rare earth elements that America is seeking but it is partially occupied by Russian troops and extremely dangerous. Central and Western Ukraine could be safe for extractions, but they are far less rich in minerals.
Where else can the West turn? Europe faces the same crisis. Estonia has rare minerals, but not enough to meet demand, with the nation currently providing the US with 5% of its needs. Malaysia imports about 13% of US rare earth imports, with Japan providing another 6%. Japan has minerals, but still imports from China. They plan to begin extracting rare earth minerals from the Minami-Torishima Island in 2026, marking the world’s first large-scale mining operation 6,000 meters beneath the ocean. Scientists believe that the area could contain around 16 million tonnes of rare earth elements, but that is a mere estimate. Malaysia has a low mineral reserve in comparison to other nations and cannot be an alternative supplier. Malaysia hosts the Lynas Corporation, the biggest rare earths processor outside China, but the nation has modest reserves.
So while Ukraine may hold nearly $15 trillion worth of crucial minerals and 15% of the world’s reserves, they cannot be accessed due to the ongoing war. China and Russia are abundant in minerals and have no restrictions when it comes to weapon production. China has pioneered molten salt reactors to produce uranium and convert it into nuclear energy. America’s enemies have a notable advantage right now and there are no reliable alternatives.
The entire grand jury process is extremely protected as the 5th amendment requires. Fullstop.
Unfortunately, we have a long and painful history with the Trump-era Main Justice system, intentionally leaking information to satiate the MAGA base and tamp-down demands for reform and accountability. For seven years various Trump officials have claimed to be working to bring accountability. None has been delivered.
Also unfortunately, the pattern of bread and circuses is repeating. The Dept of Justice leaked a letter to The Federalist, in order to affirm their performance.
[SOURCE]
Obviously, The Federalist is well aware of who the assigned “prosecutor” is. However, telling the audience that name does not support the ongoing ‘clickbait’ performance as orchestrated by Pam Bondi’s Dept of Justice. After all, there’s the important public opinion to be shaped.
The DOJ sending this letter to journalist Sean Davis is a case study in exactly what ‘Bread and Circuses’ looks like.
The DOJ providing this letter directly to The Federalist, indicates the purpose of Pam Bondi’s DOJ action is performative; not substantive. If the DOJ does not want to compromise their grand jury case, then why are they leaking their letters? Simply, think about it.
The compromise and motive to note is not in the reporting per se’; it’s in the DOJ selective (purposeful) leaking. And in this example, it indicates a profound lack of seriousness.
It’s likely the DOJ knows the challenge of the case is a very high bar and they are unlikely to clear it. So, what they are doing is appeasing the ‘Russiagate’ crowd, with the performance of the investigation itself. However, this is a very dangerous approach to take given the nature of seven years of bread and circuses in the background.
If the cases were perceived as solid and serious, there would be no reason for Pam Bondi’s DOJ to be leaking internal documents to Fox News, Mollie Hemmingway, John Solomon, Sean Davis or any other media outlet.
Fox News originally broke the story of the Grand Jury after they were sent documents from Bondi’s authorization of a prosecutor to review evidence and empanel a grand jury. Now Pam Bondi’s assigned prosecutor is sending copies of his/her letters to The Federalist.
Does this sound like serious investigative action taken by serious Main Justice leadership? No, unfortunately it sounds like a profoundly unserious ‘tick-tock’ screenplay is being delivered, because that is exactly what these actions indicate.
We have experienced seven-years of ‘tick-tocking’, and intentional leaks, orchestrated for a purpose other than truth and justice. We The People deserve better.
If the DOJ is going to leak letters and documents to ‘CONservative’ media for clickbait excitement, the outlook for serious legal accountability is not good.
Former House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes appeared for an interview with Grant Stinchfield and walks through the timeline of the Russiagate hoax.
Within the interview, Devin Nunes makes a solid argument that the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago was due to their belief President Trump had the only copy of the HPSCI report, outside IC control; the outcome of a two-year investigation into how John Brennan and the CIA manipulated the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA).
It is important to remember that even though Representative Nunes knew the HPSCI investigators were looking at the construct of the ICA, no one -not even Devin Nunes- had ever seen the finished report as assembled in 2020.
Despite efforts by Donald Trump to declassify the HPSCI report before leaving office, the CIA never released it. No one except the internal Intelligence Community (CIA/DNI) had seen the HPSCI report until Tulsi Gabbard released it on July 22nd. This is a key point, because the HPSCI report touches on all of the other declassified evidence recently released.
The authors of the HPSCI report had reviewed all of the same information John Durham reviewed. The HPSCI report walks through the entire construct of the Intelligence Community Assessment ordered by President Obama on December 6, 2016.
Arguably, because of the underlying evidence reviewed to produce it, the HPSCI report is the most critical of the declassified release in the last few months. The HPSCI report walks through the timeline as the ICA was created between early to late December 2016.
It was this manipulated ICA that underpinned the January 5, 2017 briefing with President Obama documented in the Susan Rice “by the book” memo. This manipulated ICA was then used to brief President-elect Trump the next day, January 6, 2017. The two-year HPSCI investigation and final report destroys the construct of the ICA as a propaganda tool of a weaponized intelligence product.
Knowing only the CIA, DNI and likely bad elements of the FBI had seen the HPSCI report, it makes sense this was what the FBI was seeking during the raid on Mar-a-Lago. The Intelligence Community during the Biden administration wanted to maintain the ICA ruse, and that required keeping the HPSCI report hidden.
.
This predicate could also explain reports of the DOJ considering Florida as the venue for a grand jury. There is a possibility Main Justice is evaluating whether the Mar-a-Lago raid, in context with this declassified report and the FBI retrieval for it, may extend the venue options for criminal charge exploration into Florida as the place with the last act within a conspiracy.
It’s a little bit of a Lawfare-stretch to turn away from the 95% activity, that took place in DC, and use the 5% that took place in Florida to create a legal venue outside the DC defense walls. But, with the right legal arguments, it could be possible.
If you read the 46-page report, you understand why the FBI and CIA wanted to keep it hidden.
COMMENT:
Marty,
yes, they want to talk and force war by any means necessary. How
incredibly crude and predictable the words coming from the mouth of US
Ambassador to NATO, Matt Whitaker, are. Although I know, especially
based on historical facts from WW1 and WW2, how war propaganda and the
demonization of the enemy work, I am still shocked every time by how
blatantly and crudely they keep doing it. I am even more shocked every
time by how stupid the vast majority of people are.
There are times when I would even welcome a population exchange and
extermination of the Western world in the hope and with the stupid but
human impulse that this would eradicate a large part of the evil. I am
fully aware that this is not true. But the human impulse still rises
within me.
I have sons and grandchildren; we left Europe last decade! Especially
because of your predictions! We hope to be far away from the catastrophe
unfolding here in the coming years.
Marty, we owe you a great deal for making the timely decision to leave
Europe.
US Ambassador to NATO, Matt Whitaker:
It’s impossible to get into the mind of Vladimir Putin because it’s sick
and twisted and probably not logical.
But I’m guessing he doesn’t want to take on the most powerful military
in the world, which is the United States of America.

REPLY: This is the problem. Whitaker’s arrogance thinks that the US is so powerful that it can crush Russia without ever firing a shot and calling Putin “sick and twisted” when we started this war, and there were TWO peace deals which the WEST broke – not Russia. I have NEVER in my entire life witnessed such INCOMPETENT diplomacy. The Neocons have been instructing Trump to be strong and yield nothing to Putin, and he will fold. Peace is easy. Just HONOR the Minsk Agreement. But this is a war to destroy Russia, and Trump is a fool who is being played just like George Bush, Jr.
China has already said that they will NOT let Russia lose BECAUSE they know they will be next. The ONLY way to defend against our insane Neocons is to pull together as a united front with Russia, China, North Korea, and others against the West. Both India and China have previously been the financial capitals of the world. Just as Europe lost that because of two world wars, we will do the same.
These Neocons have waged endless wars, and they have lost EVERY SINGLE ONE! They think this will be just a war against Russia, and they can tell China to wait for its turn. This is a war against NATO and China, along with everyone else tired of this Neocon arrogance, will join to eradicate the West.
These insane and arrogant Neocons are just full of themselves. They are NEVER the ones on the battlefield. They send everyone else’s children to die for their aspirations of world dominance and glory. Make no mistake. They seek what they accuse their adversaries of doing – the conquest of the world.
The computer shows shift changes as of next week, escalating into the week of the 18th. So let me see, Trump will impose crushing sanctions on China for buying Russian oil? They are supposed to bend the knee and say Oh, sorry. We will buy from the US instead? That would be a massive loss of face. Every ultimatum coming out of Trump’s mouth is pushing China and Russia closer together.
Here is Tony Blair’s Apology for listening to the NEOCONS.
Here is General Wesley Clark, who was shocked when the Neocons told him they wanted to conquer the entire Middle East with American troops.
I’m not sure we will have a recording of Trump’s apology for starting World War III. I had hoped he would keep us out. I was wrong. The computer has always been correct. We have a major war on the horizon, and it does not look good.
