Like a bad penny, the Hollywood actor shows up right before bad things happen; Vice News is likely in the background of the cinematography.
Previously, Sean Penn headed to Venezuela to showcase support for Hugo Chavez, and that led to millions suffering starvation. A few years later, he turns up in Mexico supporting infamously brutal drug lord Joaquín Archivaldo “El Chapo” Guzmán. Conspicuously, right before the FBI nabbed El Chapo. Now Penn resurfaces in Ukraine to document the downfall of Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Hollywood is one of the more famous State Department Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO’s). They have been involved in deep state shaping of public opinion for quite some time.
Please pay attention to this little sentence: “Penn previously visited Ukraine in November 2021 to prepare for the documentary.” If you find yourself wondering how Sean Penn would know in November of last year that Ukraine would fall to a Russian invasion four months later, well, you are a conspiracy theorist or something.
(Via Yahoo) […] Penn was photographed in Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, on Thursday attending a press briefing about the conflict. The Ukrainian government publicly thanked the Oscar-winning actor for coming to the country.
“The director specially came to Kyiv to record all the events that are currently happening in Ukraine and to tell the world the truth about Russia’s invasion of our country. Sean Penn is among those who support Ukraine in Ukraine today. Our country is grateful to him for such a show of courage and honesty,” the Office of the President of Ukraine said in a statement to Newsweek.
Penn has visited the Office of the President during his visit. He has also spoken with Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk, local journalists and members of the Ukrainian military.
According to a translation, the statement continued: “Sean Penn is demonstrating bravery that many others have been lacking, in particular some Western politicians. The more people like that—true friends of Ukraine, who support the fight for freedom — the quicker we can stop this heinous invasion by Russia.”
Penn previously visited Ukraine in November 2021 to prepare for the documentary. Yahoo Entertainment reached out to a rep for the director for comment. (read more)

Let us not forget the history of Egypt 2011, Libya 2012 and the original U.S. State Department Ukraine operations in 2014.
Everything we are seeing in U.S. media surrounding U.S. interests in Ukraine is a massive propaganda operation with the headquarters in the U.S. State Department and U.S. intelligence community. The sense of sympathy you are feeling is part of an intentionally manipulative operation from within this DC matrix.
The images, pictures, videos, speeches, soundbites and the cinematography broadcast by U.S. corporate media are all purposefully intended to create a very specific outlook within the American people toward the issues in Ukraine. The leftist United Nations, and the leftist U.S State Dept, will work together on this just like they have done in the prior examples (Ukraine 1.0, Libya, Egypt, etc.)
If you question any of their constructs, if you point out the puppet strings, if you notice the collective distribution of specifically repeated patterns, you are a labeled a Russian apologist. However, it is critical to retain our reference points to recognize when we are being misled by this effort.
This is not to say that Russian President Vladimir Putin is a good actor in this scenario, he’s not. This is also not to say that Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a willful participant in this geopolitical scheme, he’s not. Zelenskyy is stuck in a scenario that is not in his control. He is doing the best he can to avoid the worst outcome, which means he is aligning with the U.S. State Dept, because it is the least bad of the two current options.
There are genuine Ukraine freedom fighters, and genuine leaders inside Ukraine who are fighting to remain an independent state free from the influence of Russia. However, the free Ukrainian elements are also stuck with the political manipulations of external forces like the U.S. and NATO.
The ultra-leftists in the U.S. Deep State Department have been playing in Ukraine for well over a decade. Do you really think they will just walk away from their investments without fighting to retain that influence? Of course not.
Additionally, do you think the DC system has put this much effort into their control over Ukraine politics for this long, and would walk away without putting forth a fight? Again, of course not. This is the playground of people like former Senator John McCain and current U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham. Within the DC alignment, there is no distance between the political parties when it comes to the benefits of geopolitical influence.
Republicans and Democrats are united in “foreign policy”, and institutions like the Senate Foreign Relations Committee are aligned with the intents and purposes of the Deep State intelligence apparatus and U.S. State Department. This is an alignment based on mutually beneficial outcomes.
♦ Without a doubt, there are U.S. military “contractors” and dark money special operations forces embedded within the Ukraine fighting units, who can quickly melt into the civilian population if an insurgency approach is needed. If Russia takes all of Ukraine (that’s a big ‘if’), we can be certain that U.S. elements will be inside the country triggering conflict to retake western control. The U.S. will never give up on their Ukraine investments.
Authorization ‘finding memos‘, permitting covert operations in Ukraine, from the White House to the Gang of Eight in Congress would easily find support. The DC system will collectively align in common purpose, and there will be no dissent permitted. We are seeing that now.
All of that said… depending on how tenuous it gets, the western alliance is already positioning to trigger an actual ‘hot’ conflict with deployment of the NATO article five charter under the auspices of cyber warfare.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said today that “cyberattacks” against any NATO country by Russia can trigger article five of the NATO treaty. Meaning U.S-NATO forces will consider cyberattacks as justification for military engagement by the U.S. and NATO in Ukraine.
The groundwork is being assembled for the United States to be pushed into more open military engagement. In order to pull this off, they need the media system to push a sympathy narrative, that’s where the Hollywood-centric U.S. State Department steps in. Watch out for this “pallywood” type propaganda when it surfaces, and recognize the intent is to manipulate the way you think, view and feel about the issues as they unfold.
Yesterday, from the White House podium, Deputy National Security Advisor Daleep Singh boiled down the leftist view of geopolitical power to a cultural issue of social likeability. Singh stated, “Strategic success in the 21st century is not about a physical land grab of territory; that’s what Putin has done. In this century, strategic power is increasingly measured and exercised by economic strength, by technological sophistication and your story – who you are, what your values are; can you attract ideas and talent and goodwill? And on each of those measures, this will be a failure for Russia.”
This is the same outlook on geopolitical power that took us to an interventionist position in Egypt, by removing Hosni Mubarark, and in Libya, killing Mouamar Kaddaffi. This is an approach based on using Big Tech and social media as weapons to manipulate the perspectives of Americans to support the interventionist intents of the U.S. government. They succeeded then in the Middle East by igniting the Islamist Spring, and they succeeded again in 2014 in the original Ukraine intervention.
Big Tech (Google, Microsoft) and Social Media operations like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, etc., are “non-governmental actors” who work on behalf of the intents of the U.S. government, specifically the U.S. State Dept. The intent is to shape opinion.
Collaboratively, this network will coordinate with the messaging and narrative within corporate media. The alphabets, CNN, CNNi, Fox, MSNBC and the on-line allies at the New York Times, Washington Post, Politico, etc. then collaborate. Together the media and tech form a massive psychological campaign against the psyche of the American public. Everything is purposeful.
That’s the backdrop for this important statement today from Hillary Clinton as she calls for all these interests and agencies to align in common cause to assist in the Ukraine “story”, to use the words of Daleep Singh yesterday. Listen to how former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asks for “non-governmental” actors to get involved. The video is only two minutes, but listen carefully at 00:36 forward {Direct Rumble Link}:
Keep in mind that NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg said cyberattacks by Russia would be considered triggers for article five war. Now you see Hillary Clinton openly called for the United States government and NGA’s to conduct cyberattacks against Russia. “I think we could also be attacking a lot of the government institutions and again, the oligarchs and their way of life through cyberattacks,” she declares.
We are being manipulated for military engagement within Ukraine.
We are being manipulated by the propaganda of the U.S. State Dept.
We are being manipulated.
It is not Ukraine President Volodymyr’s fault. He is as much a victim in this as we are.

A more accurate headline would be Barack Obama and James Clyburn nominate Ketanji Brown-Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court, but details, details.
As we outlined since January 6, 2021, the nomination of Judge Brown-Jackson to the Supreme Court was a foregone conclusion, the only issue was the timing {GO DEEP}. The 10th Anniversary of Trayvon Martin provides the opportunity. Additionally, in order for Obama/Clyburn to get to KBJ, they had to shift Merrick Garland out of his judicial chair. That’s the largest part of the reason why we have Attorney General Merrick Garland.
All of the political moves follow a pattern and script, you just need a solid mental reference library to see them. The game is rigged folks, and the most accurate definition of the ‘business of DC politics‘ is the strategic presentation of an illusion of choice.
KBJ was put into the planning book back in February 2020, yes, 2020!
It was February 25th, 2020, to be precise, just four days before the South Carolina Democrat primary. South Carolina Representative James Clyburn went backstage at the presidential debate and told Biden, “You’ve had a couple of opportunities to mention naming a Black woman to the Supreme Court,” Clyburn lectured his friend of nearly half a century, like a schoolteacher scolding a child. “I’m telling you, don’t you leave the stage tonight without making it known that you will do that.” {link}
Unbeknownst to Biden at the time, just two days earlier Barack Obama and James Clyburn came to an agreement and created the most consequential alliance of the 2020 Democrat campaign. Barack Obama the figurative and ideological leader of the movement known as “Black Lives Matter”, and James Clyburn the figurative and ideological leader of the political construct within the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) church, had struck a deal.
Obama and Clyburn really had no choice but to come to an agreement and form the alliance. If they did not act fast, Bernie Sanders was gaining momentum, and they could not have Sanders at the top of the 2020 ticket, because he was too outside the club system which was now almost exclusively focused on racial identity as a tool for political power.
A Bernie Sanders -vs- Donald Trump general election would have been a disaster; and it would be almost impossible for the racial operatives in the key precincts [Atlanta (GA), Philly (PA), Clark County (NV), Wayne County (Mich), Madison (WI)] to feel inspired enough to risk themselves and commit fraud to help Bernie win.
To get rid of Sanders, BLM and AME aligned. This was the actual moment when Hillary Clinton was cast into the pit of irrelevance in Democrat politics.
Within the agreement, Obama and Clyburn selected Biden as the tool they could easily control to deliver on their larger, progressive, leftist intentions.
A few days later, James Clyburn then endorsed Biden while Barack Obama began making phone calls telling each of the other candidates to drop out in sequence and support Biden or else the club would destroy them. The only one told not to drop out yet was Elizabeth Warren, as she would be needed as the insurance policy, the splitter against Bernie Sanders.
Each of the candidates was promised the traditional indulgences for toeing the party line, and the rest is history. Joe Biden wandered around doing what everyone told him to do, which was mostly stay in his basement and let the club work on his behalf, until the club delivered the nomination.
Inside that process, the strategic map was modified to ensure Ketanji Brown-Jackson would advance to the Supreme Court.
With Biden installed, he would select Merrick Garland as his Attorney General. Judge Garland was an important judge on the important DC Circuit Court. Garland’s replacement would need to be a Senate confirmed seat for that court. Brown-Jackson would be put into Garland’s open spot. {Go Deep}
As a standalone Supreme Court nominee, Brown-Jackson would have been a radical pick. Justice Brown-Jackson is a known activist in the DC District Court; however, with this maneuver she could get through nomination easier and then sit on the highest court for thirty years.
Once Brown-Jackson was Senate confirmed for the DC Circuit Court, the countdown began until she was elevated as a Supreme Court nomination to replace Justice Stephen Bryer, now 83-years-old. The Senate has no political ammunition to block or not confirm the radical SCOTUS pick, because she was confirmed a few months before with support from Republicans.
I sought a nominee with the strongest credentials, record, character, and dedication to the rule of law. That’s why I’m excited to nominate Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve on the United States Supreme Court. pic.twitter.com/iGHLqqRAD0
Putin wants a war, but the people do not.Russians gathered in over 44 cities to protest the war on Thursday, despite knowing that there would be consequences. The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs vowed to take “all necessary measures to ensure public order.” Russia has notoriously harsh protesting laws and any opposition to the Kremlin is instantly stifled.
“One should be aware of the negative legal consequences of these actions in the form of prosecution up to criminal liability,” the Ministry noted. “The Russian Interior Ministry warns that any provocative actions, aggression toward police officers, and failure to obey their legitimate demands will be immediately prevented. People committing such offenses will be detained and held liable.”
Despite the warnings, people took to the streets to demand peace. Independent monitoring group OVD-Info believes that at least 850 people have been arrested so far, and that number is rising by the hour. Anyone opposing the war will be detained, as reports are surfacing of police visiting activists’ homes.
This is exactly what Trudeau did to the people protesting in Canada. From an outsider’s perspective, it may seem like everyone supports a government’s actions be it vaccine mandates or war. The truth of the matter is that the people have no say in the matter. Russians do not necessarily want a war, but the people representing them do.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukraine’s president, has acknowledged that his military is not able to ward off Russia’s invasion and is asking citizens to participate in the war. In 2022, world leaders use social media to speak to their citizens. “We will give weapons to anyone who wants to defend the country. Be ready to support Ukraine in the squares of our cities,” Zelenskyy tweeted, indicating that he is preparing for an all-out on-the-ground war.
Before Russia launched their attack, Ukraine’s president stated, “If they [Russia] attack, if they try to take our county – our freedom, our lives, the lives of our children – we will be defending ourselves… As you attack, it will be our faces you see, not our backs.” Zelenskyy also recently reported that his calls to Russia have gone unanswered. Negotiations are no longer an option.
According to estimates, private gun ownership in Ukraine averages 6.6 firearms per 100 people. Russians have already breached the nation’s capital, seized Chernobyl, and are rapidly expanding into every area of Ukraine. Citizens fighting trained armed forces will lead to a massacre. Hundreds of soldiers have died in the initial attack and the death toll will only rise. Ukraine requested that its citizens take up arms against the Russians on the first day of the invasion, indicating Ukraine lost the war before it began.
The following message has been shared countless times on social media over the last 24 hours:
Dear Ukrainians!
I heard on social media that there is fake news being spread (most likely by Russia-backed trolls) that the Polish border is closed.
It’s a lie.
If you seek asylum – go towards the Polish border. We are ready for your arrival. We have reception points ready at the border where you can find shelter, food, medical and legal aid.
The Polish government launched a dedicated site to help you: ua.gov.pl
Please share this information if you know anyone seeking help right now.
EDIT: YOU DON’T NEED A VISA TO PASS THROUGH THE POLISH BORDER. ALL YOU NEED IS A PASSPORT. VISAS ARE SUSPENDED! YOU DON’T NEED THEM FOR THE TIME BEING!!!!!!
The CDC posted a “fun fact” on Twitter on February 16 that actually incriminated the agency for misusing personal data. Almost everyone has taken some form of a COVID test by this stage in the staged pandemic. It is safe to assume most thought the nose swabs would be destroyed. But no, the CDC will be using your personal DNA for genomic sequencing.
The CDC posted the video below to show a version of what they are doing with your private information. Consent was not provided to the CDC to use personal information in this manner. This should be illegal. Where was the data sent and processed? Why did the agency fail to be transparent about its plan to study our personal DNA?
If it happened there, it could happen anywhere. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has waged war against his own people, freezing their accounts, throwing them in jail, confiscating their pets, silencing journalists, and labeling everyone who dares to disagree with him a domestic terrorist. He will stop at nothing to stifle free speech from anyone with an opposing view.
People said that they were surprised these actions could occur in Canada, but they could occur anywhere as there is a collective thought process among liberals who dream of handing their freedoms over to a dictator with a nice smile. A new poll by Trafalgar Group and Convention of States Action show that 65% of Democrats approve of Trudeau’s actions.
Around 87% of Republicans disapproved of the authoritarian response to the protestors. Of those who did not identify as Republican or Democrat, 74% disapproved. This is a huge contrast to the 17% disapproval rate among Democrat voters. There is hope for the next generation as 100% of people between 25 and 34 years of age disapproved of the blatant tyranny.
If Democrats could have frozen the bank accounts of the January 6 protestors, they would have, but they turned a blind eye to the destructive Black Lives Matter protests as it supported their beliefs and social agenda. Only 17% of Democrats polled stated that they disapproved of what is happening in Canada. Do the majority of Democrats who approve of these gutless tactics understand that the day will come when the government will turn on them too?
“First They Came” by Pastor Martin Niemöller
First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me
Owning a car is quickly becoming a luxury as prices soar. The auto parts and chip shortage paired with the supply chain crisis has caused demand to surpass available vehicles. Check out the Kelley Blue Book pricing for a vehicle and then compare it with a dealer’s pricing. The differences are astounding. CNN reported that 80% of new car buyers paid over the manufacturer’s suggested retail price last month.
Last year at this time, only 2% of buyers paid above asking. Gone are the days when a buyer could negotiate for a car. Car dealerships have seen cars sell within days of going on the lot. In fact, a friend of mine was browsing for cars not long ago. She went back to the same dealership less than two weeks later, and they had a completely different inventory of available cars.
The average car price is now $45,717, representing a $6,000 (15%) increase from January 2021 and a $7,500 increase from the first month of 2020. Numerous automakers have scaled back production due to supply shortages, and industry experts expect the trend of paying above asking to continue for the remainder of the year.
Used car prices are also soaring, which could be a bit of good news for those who need to upgrade. Dealerships often make more money on financing than on the vehicle itself. You do not need to finance through a car dealership and can shop around with different lenders for the best price. Dealerships also typically tend to offer lower prices for trade-in vehicles than what you would receive in an independent sale. Expect the trend of overpriced vehicles to continue until inventories stabilize.
