It is no secret that US politicians are beholden to their AIPAC partners. Anyone who criticizes Bibi or Israel is deemed antisemitic, as the Israeli president recently called Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, who are the only two major conservative voices speaking out against Israeli influence. The US sent over $30 billion to fund Israel’s war on Palestine, with $12 billion coming from the Trump Administration. Fifteen Democrats voted against continuing to fund Israel’s war on Palestine, but were outnumbered as every Republican and some Democrats insisted America must continue to fund its vassal state.
Let me be blunt—Palestinians cannot leave Gaza without approval from Israel. Two-thirds of Gaza has been declared a “no-go” zone by Israel. At the beginning of the month, the largest displacement since October 2023 occurred when Rafah and Gaza City were forced to evacuate. The Rafah Crossing in Egypt closed in March as Egypt does not wish to coordinate with Israel, believing the nation has violated the 1979 peace treaty. Israel has closed off its Erez Crossing to fleeing Palestinians. There is no safe route out of Gaza.
As of March 2, all aid to Gaza has been completely blocked. Food prices have soared by over 450%, but no aid or resources can reach Gaza. Around 66% of households no longer have access to water. WFP reports state that over 89,000 tons of food have been left to rot at the borders of Gaza as humanitarian workers cannot enter. There is no fuel. There is no transportation. There is no option for hospitals to remain open. As of March 9, all electricity has been cut off to Gaza.
Israel has destroyed everything within 1.5 km of its border with Palestine, including farms, factories, and homes. Benjamin Netanyahu denies that there is an ongoing ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
Article II of the Genocide Convention classifies a genocide as:
A mental element: the “intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such”; and
A physical element, which includes the following five acts, enumerated exhaustively:
Killing members of the group
Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group
Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group
You can decide for yourself. The people of Gaza cannot leave. Hamas is using its own people as human shields, and they cannot escape Hamas or Israel. There is no Palestinian army to battle. The US is building one of the largest military bases in Lebanonto combat Hezbollah. We still do not know how Hamas broke through the Iron Dome. Civilians in Palestine who survive the bombings will starve, but at least governments can replace Gaza with the “Riviera of the Middle East” with the help of US taxpayers.

President Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff traveled to St Petersburg (interesting venue), and spent approximately 5 hours in discussion with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his top two advisors. This was Witkoff’s third direct face-to-face meeting with President Putin.
First, President Putin would never give this much time to a non-principal in any geopolitical conversation, unless Putin felt he was directly talking to the principal through the voice in front of him. In essence, Trump has told Putin that Witkoff is his mouth and ears, Putin responds accordingly. When Putin speaks to Witkoff he is speaking to Trump, and when Putin hears from Witkoff he is hearing from Trump.
Following the five-hour meeting with President Putin, Witkoff appears on Fox News so that Sean Hannity can tell Witkoff what his meeting with Putin really means. Hannity is not only insufferable, at this point in time he is best considered a confidential human source, ¹acting on behalf of the CIA who influence him. WATCH:
Within the brief moments provided by Hannity for Witkoff to speak, the envoy of President Trump noted both Putin and Trump understand the core issues and are aligned to solve the problem despite the CIA and SSCI efforts to keep wedging them apart. Additionally, Trump and Putin see a future where geopolitical and economic alignment can be very beneficial for both Russia and the United States; they just need to find a way to navigate the complex politics on the U.S/NATO side of the mess.
President Putin does not want an alignment with Chinese President Xi Jinping, it’s not a natural fit for Russia to be strategically networking with China. Put a simpler way, Putin really doesn’t like Chairman Xi because Russia values brutal honesty in relationships, not the Beijing cunningness, ulterior motives and manipulative self-interest.
President Trump and President Putin can be natural allies. Both leaders have the same basic national security worldview and on an economic front Putin would rather have financial ties to the West than the East.
However, the broader CIA apparatus is not going to give up power or control to President Trump without a fight. Recently the CIA operated rotor wing (helicopter) drones to attack Moscow in order to provoke a useful response from Putin. Despite the efforts of Donald Trump and Marco Rubio, both the CIA and State Dept embeds are operating to maintain their control in Ukraine.
Within the Witkoff conversations with President Putin, you can be relatively assured this background context openly frames their discussions, solutions and approaches. Vladimir Putin knows President Trump is navigating some deeply complicated networks within the G7, NATO, European Union, Great Britain, CIA, U.S. Senate and beyond.
The extent Putin is willing to go providing Trump room to negotiate these political land mines is increasingly clear within Putin’s nonresponse to the ongoing CIA provocations.
Trump and Putin will work to box in Zelenskyy while simultaneously Trump will threaten and even bash Putin a little. Actually, when you stop pretending this is a little fun to watch unfold.
From the other side, Ukraine President Zelenskyy knows Putin and Trump are on the same page; however, Zelenskyy also knows the CIA and SSCI are on his side.
Meanwhile, retaining all dropped pretenses, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz now has to tune into Sean Hannity to find out what Witkoff and Putin are talking about. 😂
[¹Around the time when Sean Hannity began having extramarital sex with Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt, he became compromised. Hannity’s very expensive divorce followed, and he is locked into a long-term major financial liability as an outcome of his affair. As with most IC compromise of public figures in positions of useful influence, the financial liabilities create leverage.]
“Hi Mike”… 😂 St Petersburg Meeting was Here {{smooches}}
