QUESTION:
Mr. Armstrong,
No honest person, whether American or Palestinian believes terrorists should push the US government and its people around. But then why are you so disinterested that Israel and the US created Hamas expressly for the public to witness a TV drama via the fake news of US and Israel’s fake victimization? Trump and Harris are not about peace in the middle east, and Trump while safer for Americans is knowingly instituting the open air concentration camp to annihilate the original native people of that land who were dumped these foreign Israeli aliens in 1948.
The situation is not improved under Trump, and while I have deep respect for your work, you cannot be so heartless as to believe this people should be annihilated like rats all for a terrorist faction that arose when the alien people after 1948 acquired US missiles and began starvation campaigns and massacres of their people. Would it be fine if Americans were put in camps, rounded up into high rise buildings, and then had the buildings demolished with them inside because “a domestic terrorist was on the third floor”?
Palestinians today are living the 2025 Holodomor no different than the Ukrainians did. If you agree (or disagree) you will write a piece on this, because I know that sound-minded people around the world are of the same view on this issue. Shem Tov is a dual citizen by the way. Israeli dual citizens are not loyal to the US, I’m sorry to say, and his story and Trump’s is not a patriotic one.
Best regards

ANSWER: I’ve discussed the ongoing tragedies in Gaza at length in other blog posts. My only firm stance–I am against governments that force war and destruction upon their people. I receive backlash from those who are pro-Israel and pro-Palestine for explaining the geopolitical nature of what is occurring in that region. The Hamas terrorists feared a Trump victory, as I noted in the article you are questioning, which equates to increased protection for the United States. Few speak on how the US government uses regime change to maintain dominance throughout the world.
USAID had a budget that surpassed the budgets of the CIA and the State Department. America was directly funding its enemies because intelligence agencies and unelected bureaucrats manipulate global events for geopolitical purposes. USAID is often used as a front for CIA operations, particularly in regions where the US wants to destabilize governments that don’t align with Western interests. Funding is allegedly channeled through NGOs and civil society groups that support uprisings or color revolutions (e.g., Ukraine in 2014, the Arab Spring).
The regime change tactic is not limited to the Middle East. I penned a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi in February 2025, explaining U.S. efforts to fund opposition movements in Russia dating back to 2000. “The Plot to Seize Russia” details the lengths that the neocons have gone through for decades on their quest to conquer Russia, which partially began by a regime change in Ukraine that permitted a comedian to rule over the nation.
Current Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa was installed by the CIA. I explain in the linked article that Syria’s abundance of oil reserves and geographic location make it prime real estate for Western influence. America captured Ahmed al-Sharaa while he was fighting for Al Qaeda in Iraq, and then simply released him, or so we are told. The truth of the matter is that he was almost certainly compromised and turned into a CIA asset during this time period. Equally as important, the US has a new battleground for its proxy war against Russia. Trump signed numerous trade deals in the Middle East with partners who are eager to rebuild Syria and usurp its currently non-existent infrastructure. Again, I explained at length the devastation that the Syrian people experienced after 14 years of war.
Israel is a vassal state. “If there were not an Israel, we’d have to invent one,” Joe Biden admitted back in 1986 when he was a Senator. Israel is a strategic military base for the West. It permitted America to keep an eye on not just oil but opium as well. America did not need to “create” an Israel since Britain basically did back in 1948. Israel is not a charity and the West does not fund it because of religion. Yes, Israel was zoned for those of Jewish faith after World War II, but the true reason it was created was to provide the Allies with power in the Middle East.
America alone, prior to the Hamas attack, provided Israel with $158 billion since 1948. This money was not a loan but rather an investment. Without Israel, Western forces would have no reason to patrol the seas or surround the region. Power and money are the only aspects that motivate governments. No one is funding this war out of concern for the people.
This is why the West immediately began building up Israel’s military. France provided Israel with the ability to build nuclear weapons near Dimona in the Negev Desert. When this became public knowledge in 1960, Eisenhower feigned shock, and the media began reporting that the factory was being used to create textiles rather than nuclear weapons.
Former French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville admitted in December 1960 that France assisted Israel in creating a “replica of [the] Marcoule plant.” France needed to protect its colonies in North Africa at the time and relied on Israeli intelligence. France provided the raw materials and arms, while the US aided with financing through tax-deductible charities. Egypt had nationalized the Suez Canal, and France and Britain considered invading to seize the area. Then the former Soviet Union threatened to intervene and the world was ready to use the Middle East as their battleground. Russia is funding a nuclear plant near that area on behalf of Egypt. And yet, Israel’s current policy is to neither confirm nor deny if they have a nuclear program. Look at history and you will see how everything has been unfolding in accordance with the war cycle.
I was criticized for questioning whether America should continue funding Israel. It is no secret that American politicians are beholden to AIPAC lobbyists who have found their way into every niche of the American government. After Hurricane Harvey devastated Texas, one town refused to provide US government aid to residents until they signed a “Verification not to Boycott Israel”clause. Donald Trump has approved of over $12 billion in aid to Israel since he took office. Two wings on the same bird—both sides would be obliged to continue funding and supporting Israel because America does not want to lose its stronghold in the Middle East.
When I visited Mar-a-Lago in March 2020, I admittedly was impressed by Donald Trump’s candor. He explained that he could no longer call mothers and tell them their sons have died fighting a war for the United States. This is why American troops are not yet in Russia. Trump does not support endless wars.
Trump, however, supports America-first policies and does not wish to act as the world’s police. The United States would have supported Israel regardless of who was at the helm because that aligns with US interests. Politics is not pretty. World peace is not attainable because the desires of man never change. Tragedy and destruction are inevitable. Regime change tactics are not limited to the United States, for that matter, as nations have employed this strategy throughout history.
I do not condone war. The computer model indicates that the War Cycle, in general, is expected to gain momentum and peak by 2032. Socrates shows rising risk of regional war involving Iran, Hezbollah, Syria, and potentially Turkey. There is a key turning point on the horizon for 2026. The new geopolitical world order is unraveling, and again, there will be no incentive for peace until 2032.

A doctor could not properly make a decision for his or her patient without undergoing medical training. A lawyer could not represent a client without studying the law. A priest could not lead in worship without a deep understanding of the Bible. Yet, we permit top government officials to make decisions without a thorough understanding of the Constitution.
Those who wish to join the ranks of the “deep state” must now undergo an 80-hour training session to ensure that they understand the basis of America’s foundation. The training will be composed of video sessions and two days of in-person training for the Senior Executive Service (SES). The goal: “Ensure that SES officials uphold the Constitution and the rule of law and effectively serve the American people.”
The SES was created under the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 and implemented in 1979. President Jimmy Carter believed these bureaucrats could restore public trust in government after the Watergate scandal. The stated purpose was to “ensure that the executive management of the Government of the United States is responsive to the needs, policies, and goals of the nation and otherwise is of the highest quality.” Thereby, one personnel system managed the federal government.
These people are NOT elected. They are installed by the government to monitor the government. Top US bureaucrats under the Senior Executive Service (SES) grew to 8,000 under the Biden Administration. These men and women hold key leadership roles beneath the top presidential appointees and act as the middleman between those appointees and the federal workforce.
The Office of Personnel and Management, first obtained by RealClearPolitics, loosely outlines “new Executive Core Qualifications.” The new appointees will not be hired under the premise of DEI. Rather, they must show a commitment to “upholding the principles of the American Founding, including equality under the law and democratic self-government.” Every agency will be required to hire a majority of non-career politicians to their Executive Review Boards. “These requirements ensure that effective implementation of the President’s policies is at the forefront of agency executive management decisions,” the memo says.
Congress enacted a 120-day moratorium period on involuntary reassignments when a new president comes to power. The fact of the matter is that these positions are likely to be granted to a new group that supports whoever is in power. The Department of Justice Inspector General conducted a report in 2000 that found panels of peers judged SES employees of the FBI were less likely to face disciplinary action, serving as an example of how bureaucrats protect their own and have a different tier of justice.
Trump signed the “Restoring Accountability for Career Senior Executives” executive order back in January to increase accountability to SES staff. It is astonishing that these elite bureaucrats who wield tremendous power were not required to study the Constitution. There is no need for unelected bureaucrats in a democracy. Drain the swamp and leave it empty.

COMMENT: Dear Marty!
Even “neutral” Austria is preparing for WW3. Military service is to be significantly extended and “expanded.” Civilian service is to be “further developed.”
The Neos party, as well as other Austrian parties, are in favor of abolishing neutrality and establishing an EU army.
Anyone who wants to see clearly sees war on the horizon. Austria will once again be crushed in a world war. I’ve already said goodbye to my former homeland.
The unfathomable injustice and suffering you endured in solitary confinement have forged you into a very strong person and not broken you as they had hoped. This gives me hope that you will remain with us for a long time to come!

REPLY: Austria has been on the wrong side three times in history. We are approaching the 224-year cycle of political change from 1805 in just two years – 2027.
1805: Major defeat leading to the end of the Holy Roman Empire.
1918: Total defeat and dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in WWI.
1945: Defeat as part of Nazi Germany in WWII, followed by occupation.
Therefore, the most complete military defeats leading to the collapse of the Austrian state as it existed at the time occurred in 1918 (end of the Habsburg Empire) and 1945 (end of Nazi rule). Since regaining independence in 1955, Austria has maintained a policy of neutrality and has not been involved in any wars. That is what is being thrown out the window, as has been the case with Sweden and Switzerland. This is NOT a good outcome for Austria. We will run our models of Austria specifically and report soon.

I distinctly remember 8th-grade history class, perhaps because of the Cuban Missile Crisis, as the kids’ war caught the headlines and everyone’s attention. I was about 11 years old at the time. I recall walking with my friends, and we were all discussing nuclear war. So, perhaps against that backdrop, in history class, the teacher brought up the Spanish-American War and how the media helped create that war to sell newspapers. That statement I always remembered. Perhaps she, too, made that connection because of the Cuban Missile Crisis. It was my first lesson in Fake News. Little did I know at that tender age that I would stumble upon a frequency that dictates life, that the New Yorker Magazine called – The Secret Cycle. From that Cuban Missile Crisis, the target was the start of the War Cycle once again in 2014, with the Ukrainian Revolution, which the Neocons orchestrated.
The constant lies the press from RussiaGate to Russia’s interference in the 2016 election that Hillary claimed she really won, succeeded in convincing 70%+ of Democrats that Russia was our #1 enemy. All of that fake news has left a scar upon the United States that is still with us as the media continually bashes Trump and elevates Zelensky to the level of George Washington.
There were even proposals to place a marble bust of Zelensky in the Capitol Building, alongside those of Washington and Jefferson. It was embarrassing to be an American and display such stupidity. Who made such a proposal? None other than the other Neocon from South Carolina, alongside Lindsey Graham, the Neocon Joe Wilson made the proposal for the bust of Zelensky. The world would be a lot safer if South Carolina were expelled from the Union.
It was the media that created the Spanish-American War. As with all cycles, we have returned to the trend of yellow journalism, which is based on sensationalism and crude exaggeration. Pulitzer and Hearst went head-to-head. I remember grade school history class blaming the Spanish-American War on fake news. There is one such story that male Spanish officials were strip-searching American woman tourists in Cuba looking for claimed messages from rebels. This was the front page of Hearst’s newspaper showing what has become known as “yellow journalism,” whereby the illustration was by Frederic Remington and published in the New York Journal on February 12th, 1897.
Hearst’s New York Journal was called out for this fake news by its rival Joseph Pulitzer’s, New York World, reporting that this story was erroneous and its graphically illustrated strip-search of a woman aboard a U.S. passenger steamer was fake. The Journal article was written by Richard Harding Davis, who reported that Spanish authorities boarded the U.S. steamer, the Olivette, as it prepared to leave Havana and searched several passengers for contraband. Among the passengers was a young Cuban woman named Clemencia Arango, whose brother was a leader in the insurgency against Spanish rule. The Journal’s article was ambiguous, implying the woman was strip-searched by men, which was created by the accompanying illustration of Frederic Remington.
The New York World attacked the Journal’s fake news, quoting Arango as denying that men had strip-searched her. That task, she said, had fallen to a matron, or “inspectress.”The Journalist Davis, in a letter to the World, then blamed Frederic Remington for having drawn “an imaginary picture” and insisted his dispatch had not reported that men had conducted the search.
Nevertheless, this story of the strip search discredited the Journal as being unreliable and prone to publishing “fakes” and other thinly documented reports. Welcome to the present, where the New York Times and Washington Post seem to be carrying on in the same unreliable manner as well as ABC, CBS, NBC, and, of course, CNN. All we hear is how Russia invaded Ukraine “unprovoked,” and this time, they are cheering on World War III with every breath they take.
Trump has come out and stated that Zelensky has lied, and they never informed the US before they attacked Russia’s nuclear bombers for the EU, so they can invade Russia, which has been the plan all along. I have explained that both Germany and Japan are two economies that are shrinking. The risk of default in Europe is actually German, as is the case with Japan. Merz is gun-ho on war because he understands that Germany is in dire condition and is at risk of defaulting. This is why they have abandoned their austerity all for war.
CNN ran a story written by Gleb Garanich of Reuters. The anti-Trump pro-war attitude is so clear. He wrote:
When it comes to ending the war in Ukraine, President Donald Trump’s statements and social media posts have become meaningless.
Receding chances for a ceasefire and peace deal soon will depend instead on whether he finally finds the steel to reinforce his rhetorical lashing of President Vladimir Putin over the weekend with action.
The Kremlin is betting he won’t.
It dismissed Trump’s frustration with the most intense Russian drone attacks on Ukraine as a symptom of “emotional overload.” And experience suggests Putin can get away with calling the US president’s bluff. After all, Trump’s Truth Social critique of the Russian leader as “crazy” on Monday was leavened with a characteristic rebuke of the victim — Ukraine and President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Still, the intensifying Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilians appear to be a deliberate Russian test for Trump, a week after his hyped call with Putin, which made no progress toward peace despite the White House spin.
The second wave of the Cuban Missile Crisis had a turning point on December 5th, 2022, which was the formal implementation date for the $60 per barrel price cap on Russian seaborne crude oil imposed by the G7, the European Union, and Australia. This was a significant economic measure aimed at limiting Russia’s revenue from oil exports to fund its war, while theoretically maintaining Russian oil’s flow to the global market.
We have pushed Putin into a corner. Either he gets aggressive, or he will be replaced. This is Russia’s Pearl Harbor. The youth will respond just as they did in the USA. This is what NATO has been praying for – WWIII, and they are praying that Putin attacks anything in NATO. They have crossed every red line Putin has drawn, trying to get him to attack. The media is cheering the destruction of the West as if we can obliterate Russia without ever suffering a single blow. Is this to sell advertising again? Or is this just brainwashed journalists thanks to Hillary’s lies?

President Trump has not made any statement after Ukraine launched an attack yesterday deep into Russia targeting long-range nuclear capable bombers. Russian President Vladimir Putin has also remained quiet throughout the day today. However, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy speaking from Vilnius, Lithuania, publicly bragged about the operation today.
According to Turkish officials (note silence from Russia & Ukraine), the previously scheduled meeting between Russian and Ukranian negotiators ended today after less than an hour. There are no details about what took place inside the Ciragan Palace in Istanbul, just that once the meeting attendees were seated and gave initial remarks, the event dissolved. Both the Russian and Ukrainian teams left the building.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt appeared full of nervous energy as she spoke to journalists outside the White House, noting that President Trump was in meetings and discussions all day while taking phone calls.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov have also remained silent.
Inside Russia the general sense is one of preparation. As I noted in my debrief from last year, the government of Russia has been preparing the Russian people for an expanded escalation of the conflict for quite some time. The Russian media are deliberately pointing to Ukraine -and only Ukraine- in their domestic reporting of the attacks. There is no mention within Russian media of EU, NATO or USA support for the events that took place Sunday; however, there were a few mentions of Great Britain as a likely assistant to the attacks.
ISTANBUL (Reuters) -A second round of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine ended barely an hour after they began in Istanbul on Monday, Turkish officials said, a day after a massive Ukrainian drone attack on Russia’s nuclear-capable strategic bombers.
The talks – the second such direct contacts between the sides since 2022 – had already begun nearly two hours later than scheduled with no explanation of the delay.
[…] Ukraine and Russia have issued starkly different assessments of the damage done to Russia’s fleet of nuclear-capable bombers – a key element in its nuclear arsenal – but it was clear from publicly available satellite imagery that Moscow had suffered some serious equipment losses.
[…] The two sides had been expected to discuss their respective and wildly different ideas for what a full ceasefire and a longer term path to peace should look like amid pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump, who has said the U.S. could abandon its role as a mediator if there is no progress.

Zelensky’s Gauntlet – Did Ukraine Just Draw the USA and NATO Closer to War with Russia by Targeting Russian Strategic Long-Range Bombers Covered by SALT and START Treaties?
Posted originally on CTH on June 2, 2025 | Sundance
First the cliff notes version: There’s an important detail to remember. People are laughing at the long-range Russian bombers being left out in the open, vulnerable to attack. However, the bomber visibility is required as part of several nuclear agreements between the USA and Russia (SALT and START). Our U.S. long range nuclear capable bombers, covered under the same agreements, are also visible.
Ukraine President Zelenskyy is playing with fire by targeting them, which also explains why Zelenskyy never told President Trump in advance.
The U.S and NATO have provided the means. However, #1) did Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy just exploit a vulnerability by targeting Russian long-range nuclear capable bombers? and #2) was the CIA and NATO intelligence community a willfully blind participant knowing they would benefit?
Both the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT) and the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), call for U.S. and Russian long range nuclear capable bombers to remain “visible andobservable by national technical means of verification.” That open visibility creates a mutual vulnerability as well as a method of surveillance and verification for both the USA and Russian Federation.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and by extension his NATO enablers, just exploited that SALT/START vulnerability and used drones to attack Russian bombers covered by USA-Russia treaties. There are reports (and videos) now surfacing from inside Russia showing the Russian Federation moving strategic long-range mobile missile launchers into position for a counterattack against Ukraine.
This situation is obviously very fluid and let us all hope that President Trump and President Putin are in communication about this escalation as created by Zelenskyy and his enablers, even if -and probably especially if- our own intelligence agencies are part of the enabling.
Think about the ramifications of NATO enabled Ukraine targeting major Russian military assets which are vulnerable only because they are part of a previously agreed U.S-Russia negotiation to remain vulnerable. In essence, an argument can be made by Russia that NATO -and by extension us- have targeted nuclear capable missile systems, and those systems were protected by the SALT/START treaties. How would we respond if an adversary launched a strike against our strategic long-range nuclear capable bombers in the USA?
I cannot imagine how President Trump would address a phone call with President Putin when the leader of the Russian Federation confronts him with the reality that it was NATO and USA military support, actual hardware and technical capability, that has provided Ukraine with the ability to target strategic nuclear weapons.
If President Trump did not know of the strike target in advance, which is the element being reported and confirmed by multiple media outlets, this would indeed put Trump in a very difficult position. That reality is likely the motive for Ukraine never to have informed the White House.
Keep in mind the SALT/START treaties are between the USA and Russia only, not necessarily including NATO or European countries. However, the U.S. govt has publicly and openly been sending military hardware and technical resources into Ukraine.
If President Trump or his National Security Council were made aware that Ukraine was going to strike at nuclear capable targets covered by strategic defense agreements, I strongly doubt President Trump, or any member of his administration would have approved or consented to any participation or support. This is just too strong a provocation to enlarge the conflict and draw NATO into it even deeper.
What happens next is unknown.
President Barack Obama negotiated New START, a successor to President Ronald Reagan’s 1994 START I Treaty. START I cut long-range, or strategic, nuclear arsenals by 30-40 percent. New START slashed accountable deployed strategic arms by another three-quarters. In 2021, Presidents Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin extended New START until next February 2026.
🚨 BREAKING: RUSSIA PLACES NUCLEAR FORCES ON HIGH ALERT 🚨
Unconfirmed but mounting reports indicate Oreshnik and Russia’s strategic nuclear arsenal have been placed on high readiness following Ukrainian strikes and Russian Iskander missile retaliation.

REPLY: You know the real scary thing, they never see how a single incident leads to a catastrophic war. The assassination of the archduke in 1914, or the attack on Pearl Harbor, was precisely what Zelensky was instructed to do by NATO and the EU. If Trump does not get the hell out of NATO ASAP, he had better not respond to an Article 5 call, for that is the false flag I was warning about. They got Zelesnky to take out bombers that were never used in Ukraine, so it was not a question of self-defence? This was aggression.
Trump should make a statement that the US will no longer broker any peace deal with Ukraine UNTIL they remove Zelensky with a verified election.This man is evil and he is destroying Ukraine and cares nothing about the Ukrainian people. This was indeed Russia’s Pearl Harbor.
