While domestic small businesses suffered under Biden-Harris, Ukraine saw a boost in their small business thanks to billions in grants that were paid for by the US taxpayer. USAID subsidized Ukrainian businesses through co-investment programs, interest rate compensation on loans, cashback incentives for leading equipment, and direct financial support. All in all, USAID’s “Investment for Business Resilience Activity” provided $100 million in investments.
The Bureau of Labor and Statistics was altering data on domestic jobs while other branches of the government were focused on maintaining Ukraine’s workforce. The aforementioned USAID program supported over 1,050 businesses and allegedly saved nearly 18,000 jobs.
USAID was working directly with Ukrainian banks to help lower borrowing costs to small and medium enterprises. Trump immediately halted this program in January 2025. The average person simply does not understand how much money the Biden Administration was sending to Ukraine.
US taxpayers supported the entire Ukrainian government. Over $30 billion was sent to Ukraine in a two-year period to pay for “essential government operations.” Americans were forced to pay for public servants’ salaries, pensions, healthcare, and more. None of this includes the tens of billions spent on military-related items or humanitarian aid.
Americans did not vote to use their public funds in this manner. The domestic economy was suffering from record inflation post-COVID. Domestic entrepreneurs could not secure business loans. There is a clear pattern of one political party prioritizing foreign entities over its own citizens.
Now, the Trump Administration announced that it needs to make additional cuts to Ukrainian assistance. “This administration takes a very different view of that conflict. We believe that a negotiated peaceful settlement is in the best interest of both parties and our nation’s interests, especially with all the competing interests around the globe,” US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth explained. The complete 2026 budget has not yet been released by the Pentagon, but Hegseth said it “provides a historic level of funding for military readiness, putting (U.S.) warfighters and their needs first.”
Using American funds to prioritize America—what a novel concept. This is why Trump and Vance had a shouting match with Zelensky during his failed Oval Office visit. Zelensky feels entitled to US funding after years of using US public funds as his personal ATM under Biden.
The European Union now funds around84% of Ukraine’s operations. It is expected that the bloc will spend around $40 billion on external financing needs in 2025. The Ukraine Facility instrument provides €50 billion in “flexible support” for Ukraine over a three-year period. They’re using frozen Russian assets to fund this account since the EU simply does not have the money to prop up a foreign government.
This has been an extremely expensive war and it is nowhere near over. I should add that US assistance was all provided outside the regular defense budget. This occurred during peacetime in a war that in no way involved the United States. This is what happens when a foreign nation blackmails the president of the world’s leading superpower.
Biden’s crime family received over $20 million from Ukraine in “influence peddling” schemes. Hunter Biden secured $11 million for his personal company through Burisma. FBI informant, Alexander Smirnov, said under oath that Burisma selected Hunter to “protect us, through his dad, from all kinds of problems.” The text messages stored on Hunter’s laptop revealed that he openly threatened people using his father’s name while his father was the vice president. Joe Biden accepted bribes and altered US policy to support his son and line his pockets. The CCP also had the Biden family in their pocket.
Decreasing, if not ceasing, funding for Ukraine is long overdue. Imagine if those funds were invested in the domestic economy rather than laundered through under-the-table deals. Americans are not responsible for subsidizing Ukraine.

The United Kingdom admitted it “lost control” over its own national security and permitted the invasion of thousands of illegal migrants. Once the naval powerhouse of the world, the former British Empire has “lost” the ability to protect its own shores from the onslaught of migrants that have been pouring in since its leaders adopted open border policies. Men with little to no resources in canoes are suddenly overpowering the long-admired British fleet. In truth, the government has not “lost control,” as this is a calculated effort to reshape the UK.
Others are blaming France for not preventing migrants from launching from their shores. French police stopped 38% of migrants (8,347 people) attempting to reach the UK by boat this year. French authorities prevented 45% of new arrivals in 2024, and 47% in 2023. France is receiving €541 million over a three-year period from the UK government to prevent illegal crossings in the English Channel. France has hired hundreds of new law enforcement officers to patrol the waters, but the number of asylum seekers continues to rise.
Upon taking office, Sir Keir Starmer announced that the Rwanda plan was “dead” as he would not deport migrants to third nations. Labour has stated they are seeking a “calm and patient rebuilding” of migration policies and refuse to accept any large-scale deportation efforts. If you can make it to shore, you can likely stay. Starmer has said the UK is becoming an “island of strangers” but refuses to adopt any policies to curb the inflow.
The United Kingdom is experiencing a mass repopulation event. The former population is being replaced with both legal and illegal immigrants. Birth rates are plummeting, public debt is rising, and the government is openly permitting migrants to enter to maintain its public welfare state. Rather than fixing the issues that are causing the population to contract, the government is importing a new population. The British political elite, both Tory and Labour, have failed to grasp the historical implications of these shifts. It is not racist or xenophobic to observe patterns and hard truths. The core identity of the UK and other Build Back Better nations has been abandoned and replaced. They are not bringing in migrants for humanitarian purposes, and it would be a lie to think that the UK was completely unable to secure its border. If they can’t prevent a few thousand men on cheap boats from entering, how could they protect themselves in time of war? The government is allowing this to happen because it needs new taxpayers to replace the workers it failed to produce.
This is why conservative leaders are attempting to rebuild domestic manufacturing and providing incentives for women to have children. The global mainstream media is controlled by the left, and therefore, these nationalist values are painted as a form of hatred or superiority. Quite the contrary, as conservative leaders are attempting to save their nation’s culture and traditions by encouraging the success of their own population.
Globalism is directly tied to repopulation theory. “In the future, countries with aging populations may need migration to sustain their economies,” Bill Gates said, as he strongly believes that the world is overcrowded. “The world today has 6.8 billion people… that’s headed up to about 9 billion. If we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.”
Repopulation theory is more of a tactic than a theory. Hence, leaders like Starmer are ignoring warnings and standing idle as a demographic shift permanently alters their nation. As it stands, first-generation migrants will compose 25% of the UK’s population by 2035, according to the Centre for Migration Control, and the UK’s overall population will surge to 73 million. It may seem far off, but that is only a decade from now. All Build Back Better nations will be utterly unrecognizable thanks to repopulation tactics.

The Trump Administration has stated that it was NOT informed in advance. Ukraine was putting out the fake news claiming that they had previously told the Trump Administration in advance. They were most likely trying to scare Putin to prevent him from retaliating, implying that Trump has his back. This was indeed Russia’s Pearl Harbor. Zelensky wrote on X on Sunday wrote:
“Head of the Security Service of Ukraine Vasyl Maliuk delivered a report regarding today’s operation. An absolutely brilliant result. A result achieved solely by Ukraine. One year, six months, and nine days from the start of planning to effective execution. Our most long-range operation. Our people involved in preparing the operation were withdrawn from Russian territory in time.”
Note that Zelensky also goes out of his way to state another lie: “A result achieved solely by Ukraine.” There is absolutely no way Ukraine did this alone. All of the EU was involved, just as MI6 instructed Ukraine to invade with the Kursk maneuver. Claiming Trump was informed in advance but not NATO or the EU after Trump threw him out of the White House, and everyone I speak to on Capitol Hill lost respect for Zelensky after that staged attempt to embarrass Trump into keeping the funding going.
The ruthless Neocon who was the fake Republican on the January 6th Committee that tried to stop Trump from even running for president, Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, also wrote on X: “Important to note: the targeting of Russian bombers is COMPLETELY LEGAL and expected in a war. A response from Russia will target civilians and be a war crime. But it’s Russia. They bombed hospitals in Ukraine and Syria. They are…. A terrorist state.” This is the same guy who claimed NATO can take out Russia in three days.
Let’s make this very clear. These bombers were NOT being used in Ukraine. They were by no means an act of defense. This was an act of aggression – PERIOD!
This is indeed the Russian ‘Pearl Harbor.’ If I were Putin, this is the time to annihilate Ukraine and eradicate it from the face of Europe. Peace will NEVER happen. Putin should now destroy Ukraine to remove it as a proxy war client. Drop the leaflets and give the Ukrainian people 5 days to migrate to Europe. This is akin to Rome’s destruction of Carthage, which put an end to the Punic War and ensured that no city would ever rise there again. Only then will the EU be forced to come out of the closet and admit that it is the real enemy. The US engaged in WWII after Pearl Harbor. That is the magnitude of what Ukraine has done. I would expect Russia to now go on full nuclear alert against the EU.
DEFCON 3
I believe that Russia has now gone to DEFCON 3 out of 5. The wild card is Macron. My sources in Romania confirm that Macron was there for the election to ensure that the EU won and the people of Romania would be the next wave of pawns to die for the EU agenda led by Macron to vanquish Russia. They call Macron the Petite Napoleon. He is behind WWIII and is the leader pushing for war, as is now Germany’s Merz.
This is the picture of the German GDP. Germany could even be the first EU state to crumble. Note that June has been the primary target for the whole year. Look at the Volatility for July and August. Germany is 25% of the EU economy. Speaking to political sources, I am informed that it is now Germany really pushing hard for war against Russia using Ukraine. This is looking really bad with each market you review.

COMMENT #1: Hi Marty,
Just observation form Croatia, it is just unbelievable how much lies MSM and Senators like Lindsey Graham are spreading about war in Ukraine.
Lindsey just visited Ukraine and labeled peace talks as a joke and he is saying that Russians are not trying to negotiate. As well he is voicing support for War against Russia and he is saying that Ukraine is not losing war. In my opinion at this stage of the war this is such an obvious lie. It is hard to understand and accept that someone as a USA senator can be so mean and hateful. What price we as USA will have to pay for such a senatorial behavior? For him to spread War Agenda vs Russia and China even thou he is hiding behind statements that he is supporting the peace talks that Trump is pushing, is just very mean.
I am now in Croatia and have to say that nobody here believes that war will spread. Whenever I mention that war will spread and it will escalate in to 2027 people here think that I am crazy. I think that lots of Europeans are the same they will be super surprised when this thing explodes during next year per Socrates.
Regards,
GD
COMMENT #2: Hello, Mr. Armstrong;
Thank you for doing podcasts here in Serbia. I can say that we are getting very concerned when Macron is telling Asia to forget about China and focus on Ukraine, and then Merz is handing NATO missiles to Ukraine, which will attack Moscow. The mood here is viewing the EU and NATO as the aggressors. You know that NATO bombed us into submission because Serbia is generally pro-Russia, since we saw NATO in action, and you are correct, never trust a Ukrainian. Your quote from Churchill is correct that the truth needs a bodyguard of lies to protect it.
Thank you for your courage. So few have that today.
VO
REPLY: The European press is doing everything to downplay the spread of the war spreading. They keep claiming Ukraine is winning and that Russia is failing. They run stories that make it sound as if Putin fears being hanged, as if a single person is waging this entire war. Zelensky tried to assassinate Putin on May 20th. They know the truth. Putin is the ONLY adult in the room, who may not be on Cocaine. Remove Putin, and you will have World War III, for the guys behind him are Russian Neocons.
The European press pretends this war is only about Ukraine. Yet, several European leaders have described the Russia-Ukraine war as a “proxy war,” but the most prominent and consistent figure using this terminology is Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Back in July 2022, in a radio interview, he explicitly stated:
“This is a proxy war: the infrastructure is Ukrainian, but the money and weapons come from America, and the soldiers are Ukrainian.”
Orbán framed the conflict as a battle between the U.S./NATO and Russia, arguing that Ukraine is a “battleground” for larger powers. He has consistently echoed this view, criticizing Western arms deliveries to Ukraine and EU sanctions against Russia. He claims Hungary seeks to “stay out of this war” to protect its national interests.
French President Emmanuel Macron (June 2022) suggested avoiding humiliating Russia, warning that the conflict risked becoming a “proxy war” if diplomatic solutions were ignored. However, he later attempted to back out, clarifying his support for Ukraine’s sovereignty.
Leaders of both Serbia and Belarus (non-EU) have also used similar language, warning that this has been a deliberate strategy to wage war against Russia. The fake news tries to mislead the public, claiming that it is a war of Russian aggression against Ukrainian sovereignty. If that was the case, Putin could have taken all of Ukraine instead of just protecting the Russians in the Donbas, for which he gets criticism from the hardline Russians.
Orbán’s stance has isolated Hungary within the EU/NATO, with critics accusing him of parroting Kremlin propaganda and undermining European unity. However, the EU needs this war and has not taken any measures to resolve the conflict or promote peace. Merkel even admitted that Germany and France never intended to honor the Minsk Agreement that would have prevented this war. Moreover, the NEOCON #1 rule is to avoid communication, ensuring there will never be peace. This is why not a single European leader will talk to Putin. It took Trump to open communications, and they are doing their best to push Trump into this war.
Sun Tzu in his Art of War states that sowing doubt, fear, and discord within the enemy camp is key. However, this is what the fake News and European politics are doing to their own people, pretending that this war is confined to Ukraine vs Russia and will not spread, yet pushing for NATO troops to enter Ukraine, which is starting drafts throughout Europe. A blind man can see that the Fake News narrative is indeed fake when the governments are doing the exact opposite. Putin was fooled once with the Mink Agreement that the West refused to honor, so he would be a fool to agree to any peace deal while they are constantly rearming Ukraine and boosting all their military preparations.
Sun Tzu prioritized indirect knowledge gathering (espionage) and strategic deception over open communication or negotiation with the enemy. His focus was on gaining an overwhelming informational and psychological advantage to win efficiently, often by making the enemy act against their own interests based on false beliefs. Direct communication was generally seen as a potential vulnerability or a lesser tool compared to the power of deception and superior intelligence.
Sun Tzu also advocated Winning Without Fighting. This is the NATO/EU strategy of using Eastern Europeans as pawns to reduce Russia, so they can later walk in without a fight. They are clearly positioning to force Russia to submit or make disastrous mistakes, making battle unnecessary between the EU, letting Eastern Europeans die for their objectives. This is why they intered into the Romanian elections so they too can use Romanians as pawns in this battle to conquer Russia. Trump will NEVER get a peace deal unless he wakes the hell up, for he is being played again by American NEOCONS. They cleverly got the two neutral countries during previous wars to put their citizens at risk for their goals – Switzerland and Sweden.
The Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch made the plain statement on Sky News:
“Israel is fighting a proxy war on behalf of the UK, just like Ukraine is on behalf of Western Europe against Russia. We have to get serious.”
While several figures have used the term, behind the curtain, most European leaders and NATO admit the Ukraine war is a “proxy war,” reflecting their unique stance within the EU. This framing remains highly contentious and is widely seen as undermining Ukraine’s legitimacy in defending its territory.
I have supported Trump because he was against the war. I fear he has taken a severe wrong turn and has taken advice from NEOCONS who are still in the closet. His harsh words against Putin are outright provocative, and this is not about negotiating a business deal. If he cannot open his eyes and see that it is the EU and NATO who are sabotaging any peace deal with Russia because they want war and do not give a shit about their own people, then we are watching World War III in the making as our ECM model turns on Monday – June 2nd.
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, on Tuesday, appeared to warn Trump about the possibility of World War III as he is escalating tensions between the nuclear powers. He wrote on the social platform X: “Regarding Trump’s words about Putin ‘playing with fire’ and ‘really bad things’ happening to Russia. I only know of one REALLY BAD thing — WWIII,”Medvedev wrote Tuesday“I hope Trump understands this,” he added.
Medvedev has pointed out Trump’s inflammatory threats on Truth Social. Trump wrote that Putin was “playing with fire” after Sunday’s deadly Russian air strikes on Ukraine. I thought Trump had better instincts than this, but I suppose I was wrong. There can be no peace when the EU is stabbing Trump in the back and has even admitted that, as long as Kaja Kallas, the ruthless, bloodthirsty Neocon in charge of EU foreign policy, has outright said that the EU will not honor any peace deal Trump creates.
Trump will walks us into World War III with this bullshit. Kaja Kallas has openly stated that Russia is too big and it must be broken up. I do not know who is feeding Trump geopolitical advice, but they are manipulating him into World War III. I had hoped I could at last defeat my own computer, but I will fail again. This is not going to end well for the entire world.
Republican lawmakers have encouraged Trump to place additional sanctions on Russia, arguing that economic pressure could cause the Kremlin to ease up on the battlefield. Sanctions have NEVER worked even once in history. All they do is confirm to the Russian people that they are a piece of shit and the West is trying to get them to overthrow their government for what purpose? To allow Macron and his horde of pirates to invade Russia and strip mine its natural resources to propel the EU to the pinnacle of power and leave North America its vasal state?
Trump, who vowed to end the war in last year’s presidential campaign, and against whom the Neocons launched a criminal investigation to stop him, and even Dich Cheney endorsed Kamala for president because he did as she was told. The NEOCONS are in complete control of the EU. They are in Paris and London. If Trump does not know this, then he is being fed FAKE NEWS and it is not CNN, but Neocon sympathizers in his own ranks.
Trump responded when asked whether he was considering sanctions on Russia and Putin, Trump said, “Absolutely. He’s killing a lot of people. I don’t know what’s wrong with him. What the hell happened to him, right?” “He’s killing a lot of people, and I’m not happy with that.”
Trump has stepped up his criticism of Putin when he should be looking in his side and rear mirrors. Stating publicly that Putin has gone absolutely CRAZY was not conducive to a working relationship. I would slam the door on his ass.
If Trump cannot see what Europe is doing, then there is ZERO hope for peace, and the USA will be involved in World War III along with Canada. Putin would have to be insane to agree to any peace deal with Trump, while Europe does not want peace and is using Ukraine as a proxy war, and they do not care if a single Ukrainian survives as long as they take one Russian with them.
Putin should agree to peace when EVERY WU leader, except Hungary, is pushing for World War III? I do not know who is advising Trump, but they are a Neocon still in the closet who can taste Russian blood. The EU will collapse if it does not resort to war to try to unify its members. The EU needs war to stay together, for they can feel the power slipping through their fingers. Every podcast I do in Europe now asks WHEN will the EU breakup, not IF.
Trump is on the wrong side, and he will be the president of a bloodbath. China will join Russia because they know this is a war against NATO, not Ukraine. There is ZERO interest in any peace deal in Europe so Trump is on the wrong side of the negotiations.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov rejected Trump’s proposal of a follow-up at the Vatican, where the president met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in April.
Then we have developments coming from Capitol Hill as House GOP members, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) say the U.S. should pull out of the war, despite a push from Trump and Senate Republicans for more sanctions on Moscow. The Hill reported Greene’s comments:
“With President Trump, both countries could be pursuing a peace deal that would lead to historic trade deals. That would be overwhelmingly incredible for the people of their countries. But instead, they are both crazy and pursue war. Shame on both of these countries and shame on any politician that wants to continue to engage America in more meddling actions in more foreign wars.”
“I along with most Americans want nothing to do with either of these countries while they are at war with one another. And I’ll extend that to any country that wants to engage in war with others. The people of the world want peace and prosperity and that’s what I support.”
Then there is the Neocon Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who is eager to impose harsh sanctions on Russia, which has more than 80 co-sponsors. Graham would be in prison for a hate crime if he weren’t a Senator. Suppose he said that in London, he would be thrown in a dungeon to rot. And this is the impartial advice that Trump is listening to? I hope to God he is not. But I fear my computer will be right again. We are going down the path that leads to hell.

Eventually both sides have to get past the talking points and start putting demands to paper.
According to President Trump’s envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, Ukraine has put forth a draft proposal outlining their general terms for a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia. Now the Trump administration is awaiting a similar draft from the Kremlin.
Once both drafts, what they are calling “term sheets”, are received and reviewed it appears that President Trump will reengage the process and seek to bring both parties to the negotiation table. At least that looks like the general outline.
Retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, notably an anti-Russia leaning participant in the construct (worked for Mike Pence), appeared on Fox and Friends earlier this morning to discuss the current status of the issues, against the backdrop of President Trump’s frustration. WATCH:
(Via MSM) – […] “We have received everything we need. The facts are sufficient for action. We do not need any more evidence,” Kellogg said he said on Fox News, speaking about recent developments in Russia’s war against Ukraine.
Following the first direct meeting between Ukraine and Russia since the war started in Istanbul on May 16, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the Kremlin would draw up a draft proposal listing its conditions for a lasting peace, which is due to be released this week.
Once the White House has both documents they will coordinate between the two sides. According to the Ukraine envoy, another round of talks will happen afterward.
‘There is going to be another meeting, and we believe it will probably be in Geneva,’ he said. Ukraine’s allies want the meeting before the June meeting of the G7 countries in Canada, the newspaper La Repubblica wrote.
Russia wants to return to Turkey for a second round of talks with Ukraine, Lavrov said during a joint press conference in Moscow with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on May 27. Earlier, Lavrov dismissed the idea of holding negotiations at the Vatican as unrealistic.
[…] Kellogg previously served as National Security Adviser to former US Vice President Mike Pence and is currently a prominent voice among Republican foreign policy figures shaping Washington’s stance on Ukraine. Vedomosti reports that his statements reflect a broader shift among US officials towards Ukraine after the White House has been criticized for being too soft on Russia since the ceasefire talks kicked off in Riyadh on February 18.

COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, it is becoming obvious why the government has suppressed you, and others are trying to prevent people from listening to you. What has blown my mind is that you put out the ECM cycle on the Russian Ukraine War, and you had the date of May 15th published since 2022. The negotiations on Ukraine in Istanbul with Russia are scheduled for May 15, the exact day you said this war would have a key turning point, 3 years in advance. I know you have been persecuted for your discovery rather than hailed as the discoverer of a new dimension in global social-political science. We should all be writing to Trump and the Nobel Prize Committee to listen to you. This is more than just about you. We have to wake up as a society before it’s too late.
Nikola Tesla’s last words lamented that he dedicated his life to accomplishment and was persecuted for it. They have done the same to you, and that has offended me deeply.
God bless you. You have been sent to teach society a new way of viewing the world.
Ralph
REPLY: Thank you. This frequency has picked up so many events to the day that it is remarkable. The Economic Confidence Model has worked countless times to the very day. There is certainly order hiding beneath the appearance of chaos. The vast majority will NEVER give me credit for anything during my lifetime. That is just the way it always works.
Yet, what you describe about Tesla’s treatment is on par with humanity. What I have discovered will only become widely accepted after I am gone, not before. They tried to kill me, but I survived. Giordano Bruno (1548 – February 17th, 1600) was burned alive for agreeing with Copernicus that the sun was at the center of the solar system, not Earth. It is dangerous to discover something that society does not want to hear. Gallileo was forced to confess and change his theories to avoid being burned alive like Bruno. My discovery in cyclical analysis has threatened the bankers and those who think they can manipulate society. For that reason alone, I have been persecuted and will never be recognized during my lifetime. That is how society works, and it refuses to learn or take just one step forward in knowing how things truly work.
Hypatia was a prominent female figure in philosophy, mathematics, astronomy, and mechanics in the 4th-century city of Alexandria. She was murdered in the year 415 AD by an angry mob who literally tore her to pieces before killing her. Even German philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was also a logician, scientist, mathematician, mechanic, and physicist. He knew about the law, history, foreign affairs, and languages. Leibniz was a brilliant person. Before Newton did, he came up with mathematical analysis, worked on combinatorics and the foundations of mathematical logic, described the binary number system with the numbers 0 and 1 used by computers today, and made many other important discoveries that changed many fields. He was in a fight with Newton and was prejudiced because he was not English.
Leibniz’s last years were tough because George I, King of Great Britain, didn’t like him and thought he was nothing more than a court historian. The famous scientist was harassed and dragged into court dramas. He was also put under house arrest and was constantly being watched by a spy. Because he was out of favor in London, the Royal Society refused to even view it as appropriate to recognize his passing. Even in death, their hatred continued.
Numerous inventors who were ahead of their time have been ignored or even demonized during their lifetime. Their legacies remind us that recognition often hinges on societal context, not just ingenuity.
Throughout history, many inventors made groundbreaking contributions but received little recognition or even contempt during their lifetimes. Here’s a list of another 11 notable figures whose work was rejected until after their deaths:
1. Antonio Meucci (1808–1889)
Invention: Early telephone prototype (“teletrofono”).
Why Unrecognized: Lacked funds to patent his invention, leading Alexander Graham Bell to secure the patent first. Meucci died in poverty, and the U.S. Congress only acknowledged his contribution in 2002.
2. Hedy Lamarr (1914–2000)
Invention: Frequency-hopping spread spectrum (basis for Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth).
Why Unrecognized: Known primarily as a Hollywood actress, her patent was classified during WWII and ignored until the 1960s. Recognition came decades later.
3. Charles Babbage (1791–1871)
Invention: Designed the first mechanical computer (Analytical Engine).
Why Unrecognized: His machines were never built in his lifetime due to technical and financial limitations. His ideas were later recognized as foundational to modern computing.
4. Garrett Morgan (1877–1963)
Inventions: Three-position traffic signal, smoke hood (early gas mask).
Why Unrecognized: Faced racial discrimination since he was black, and often hired white actors to demonstrate his inventions to gain acceptance.
5. Johann Philipp Reis (1834–1874)
Invention: Early “telephone” prototype (“Reis Telephone”).
Why Unrecognized: His device was dismissed as a novelty. Bell later patented a more practical version, overshadowing Reis’s work.
Why Unrecognized: His invention sparked worker riots (Luddites), forcing him to flee England. He died in obscurity in France.
7. Granville T. Woods (1856–1910)
Inventions: Railway telegraph, electric roller coaster, and 50+ patents.
Why Unrecognized: He was black, so racism in the U.S. led to his work being overshadowed by contemporaries like Edison, though he sold patents to major companies.
8. Philo Farnsworth (1906–1971)
Invention: Fully electronic television.
Why Unrecognized: RCA (led by David Sarnoff) stole his patents after a legal battle. Farnsworth died embittered, though later acknowledged as TV’s true inventor.
9. Elisha Gray (1835–1901)
Invention: Telephone prototype (filed a patent hours after Bell).
Why Unrecognized: Lost the patent battle to Bell despite evidence of parallel development.
10. Alan Turing (1912–1954)
Invention: Conceptualized modern computing and artificial intelligence.
Why Unrecognized: His WWII codebreaking work was classified, and he was persecuted for his sexuality. Recognition grew posthumously.
11. Gustave Whitehead (1874–1927)
Claim: Allegedly flew a powered aircraft before the Wright Brothers (1901).
Why Unrecognized: Evidence remains disputed, and the Wrights’ 1903 flight is widely credited.

Much of Europe celebrates “VE Day,” Victory in Europe Day on May 8th, to celebrate the defeat of the German Nazi regime and the ending of World War II.
Within Russia “Victory Day” on May 8th is a big deal, a very big deal. Russia lost approximately 27 million people in World War II, approximately 8.7 million military men and approximately 18 million civilians. Think of the scale. Somewhere in the range of 35 to 40% of Russian men were killed in war. Throughout Russia, honoring the history of May 8 is a big deal.
Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a ceasefire of hostility in the Ukraine conflict surrounding Victory Day, as celebrations in Russia take place from Thursday through Sunday. However, in keeping tradition with the Nazi history, Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his Ukraine military, with support from EU NATO allies has launched an offensive into Russia’s Kursk region -regardless of human cost- simply to humiliate Vladimir Putin.
UKRAINE – Ukraine has launched a stunning offensive in Russia’s Kursk region in a major embarrassment for Vladimir Putin.
The Kremlin was determined to expel all Ukrainian troops from Russian soil ahead of this week’s Victory Day parade.
He declared a three-day ceasefire with Ukraine, starting Thursday and ending Saturday, to mark the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany in the Second World War. Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to attend the official ceremony on Friday on Moscow’s Red Square.
But Volodymyr Zelensky’s army breached the Russian border Sunday night near the village of Tetkino. (read more)
Feeling emboldened by the new “minerals deal” and financial connection to the United States as an outcome of the agreement; in combination with full support from the European Union leadership in Brussels and the NATO alliance; while bolstered by the CIA operations and assistance of the U.S. and U.K military; Ukraine’s leadership will continue to use every available resource to fight Russia.

The Failure of the London peace talks last Week was a critical defining moment. The “peace talks,” which were meant to take place in London on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, collapsed as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Steve Wytkoff cancelled their attendance. Instead, Wytkoff headed for Moscow for his fourth meeting with Vladimir Putin. This was indeed what some will refer to as a watershed moment for European powers, demonstrating that they are not about to lure Trump into supporting their war of conquest and vengeance against Russia for the days of the Bolsheviks.
Zelensky now knows that he cannot play Trump as a fool. Now he has cleverly tried to con Trump into still creating World War III by changing the label again. He met with Trump at the Vatican for the Pope’s funeral. Zelensky’s new scheme is to get NATO protection without being a member of NATO. His proposal is now that he could not join NATO, which will provide the security guarantees with pretend peace-keepers against future Russian aggression, when this entire war began with Ukrainian aggression against the Russians in the Donbas.
The solution has always been to honor the Minsk Agreement, which Merkel and France intentionally lied about when they negotiated, playing Putin for a fool while Ukraine built an army. Honor that peace agreement, and 1.1 million Ukrainians would still be alive today, and 8 million would not have had to flee their country.
Putin even tried to explain the importance of the Minsk Agreement to avoid conflict. Zelensky understood that he was throwing his country into the meat-grinder all on the orders of the Neocons and NATO, who he now says they acknowledge he cannot join NATO, so they will provide the same protection just as a security guarantee without membership.
Allow the Donbas to vote and separate, as took place in former Yugoslavia, also resulting in countless deaths in the Kosovo War. It was the West that lied and wanted this war, pretending that they were defending Ukraine’s territory, which they could have also said about the breakup of Yugoslavia. Why not oppress all those ethnic groups to stay together?
It was former German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898) who in 1888 foretold of a coming great world war that would “come out of some damned foolish thing in the Bakans.” The ethnic hatreds in this entire region are insoluble.
Ukraine MUST be divided like Yugoslavia, or there will NEVER be peace. Zelenksy is playing Trump as the fool all over again. He does not propose NATO’s Article 5 protection, but he did express optimism that there could be guarantees that were like the protection it offers. Trump between not just count his fingers shaking hands with this piece of shit determined to create World War III and the NATO protection as Article-5-like guarantees would still bring all of NATO into Ukraine if it is still not a member. You cannot trust Zelensky or any of the EU leaders, including Starmer.
Trump – you cannot be this stupid!!
The EU was hoping to get Trump to fund the insane war against Russia, as they are building their military in preparation for what will become World War III, the same strategy they pulled with the Minsk Agreement to buy time for Ukraine to create an army. This time, it is an EU army. The phrase “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me” is attributed to Anthony Weldon, who wrote about it in his 1651 book, “The Court and Character of King James.” The saying emphasizes the importance of learning from past mistakes to avoid being deceived again. They are playing both Trump and Putin for fools once again.
Starmer, Macron, and Zelensky were hoping to fool Trump into providing an open-ended security guarantee for a Zelensky regime while Europe bought time to create its EU Army. They honestly think they are clever and more intelligent than everyone else. Moreover, they were seeking to defraud the United States with Ukraine’s rare earths pretense promising to sign some deal with Trump when last January 16th, 2025 Keir Starmer flew into Kiev and signed a 100-year partnership with Kiev worth £3 billion a year indefinitely while Zelensky signed over the bulk of Ukraine’s resources and infrastructure capital to British interests – not American. The deal was part of this idea of resurrecting Europe to rise against as the leader of the world, as if they were Charlemagne trying to revive the old Roman Empire.
The deal was supposed to boost London’s financial markets. However, as always, they expect the USA to fund the expenses while they reap the profits. Even Boris Johnson explained, without the US security guarantee, “not a penny can flow from this investment.” Indeed, Starmer also confirmed that the “US backstop is vital” for London to reap the profits, which would include rare earths that they would then mark up and sell to the USA. As Marco Rubio explained, “President Trump isn’t going to take that. He’s not going to get gamed. He hopes Zelensky isn’t trying to hustle the United States; that’s not going to be productive here.” This is an outright fraud against the United States.
Of course, Zelensky is a Neonazi and he gets his instructions from the Neocons and London. He pretended to be Christian and joked about confiscating the assets of Russians and Jews. He announced he was suddenly Jewish ONLY after he became president.
This is what the Ukrainians were doing to Jews. They killed the woman and threw her child into a grave alive, so they did not waste bullets on Jewish Children. This is what Zelensky would joke about on stage before becoming president.
These horrible world leaders, willing to sacrifice their own people for personal hatreds, should be in prison. They think that they are smarter than Trump. Sorry to say – he is not Biden! Playing Trump for the fool, both Britain and France had to back off from sending in their peace-keeping troops to Ukraine, which would have protected this deal of strip-mining Ukraine. So now they have revised their scheme to get Trump to agree to NATO protection in an Article-5-like proposal, which they will still use to blame Putin as the aggressor, so they can strip-mine Russia, or so they believe.
They have also played Putin for the fool, assuming he, too, is stupid and would agree to their terms. At the same time, they build a European army to achieve their ultimate goal of conquering Russia and gaining the $75 trillion in assets that Russia has in natural resources. Getting their hands on that, they believe, will elevate Europe to rule the world since that is twice the value of the US national debt.
Upon the death of Pepin, Charlemagne (768-814 AD) became king of the Franks in 768 AD, initially as co-ruler with his brother Carloman I. However, Carloman suddenly died unexpectedly and unexplained in December 771, conveniently leaving Charlemagne as the sole ruler of the Frankish Kingdom. He then began to expand his empire, conquering tribes. He became the King of the Lombards in 774 AD, and then Emperor of the Romans from 800 AD. It was about three intervals of the 309.6-year cycle until another Frenchman sought to conquer Europe – Napoleon. Here we are, 224 years later, with eyes once again on conquering Russia.
Putin is also not dumb. I would NEVER agree to such a proposal involving the EU, which has never told the truth, has its eyes on the conquest of Russia, and I would sign a mutual agreement with China that if one is attacked, the other will come to their defense. Then the old Cold War will rise again, but the EU is just not trustworthy.
Ukraine is engaging in terrorism, not warfare. They are violating every principle of international law, targeting even an engineer in Trussia who worked on the modernization of Russia’s electronic warfare in Ukraine. This is NOT a legitimate target in war. Ukraine is NOT an honorable adversary. All rules of engagement should be forgotten. So, people who design weapons in Ukraine are legitimate targets for assassination now? That was not how wars were fought.
Moscow will dictate the terms of peace if that can even exist. Zelensky has betrayed the Ukrainian people for all the money. He is so hated in Ukraine, and he knows he would never win an election, so he keeps extending the Martial Law, and the politicians who support him keep filling their offshore accounts with untold amounts of money. Zelensky would have to flee Ukraine forever, and even that will not guarantee his safety. It will be a Ukrainian who assassinates this ruthless individual. If he were an Albanian, they would kill Zelensky, his wife, children, and the dog. Just as Ukrainians are engaging in targeted assassinations of civilians, this places all Ukrainians on a list for assassination.
My ADVICE to Trump: insist that an election take place, and send in Americans to monitor the voting. We have the technology to allow online voting securely. All Ukrainians would be allowed to vote in the Donbas, as well as the 8 million hiding in Europe. Let the Ukrainian people vote on their future – not this obvious piece of shit and that disparages “shit” for he is far worse.
Despite all the fake news, Ukraine is losing and will NEVER survive this Neocon war.
This is NOT my opinion – this is the Computer forecast!

Zelensky is a professional con artist. He has been steering Europe into World War III and loading up his offshore accounts. He keeps extending Martial Law so he does not have to stand for election. There is no way he would win an election after what he has been doing, kidnapping people off the street and sending them to die on the front line.
From my sources, Zelensky would be lucky to get 25%. In theory, even those in the Donbas and Crimea should be allowed to vote, and the 8 million who fled Ukraine. Those in the Donbas and Brimea would not vote for him, add that to the 75% in the rest of the country who are against him for prolonging this war, and perhaps he is down to 10%.
He extended the Martial Law on February 5th, 2025, until May 9th, 2025. He and his corrupt buddies will extend it again until August. If there was a peace deal that ended the war, he would have to flee. These people will tear him apart.
Oleksiy Arestovych is the former presidential advisor to Zelensky, resigned and fled to New Zealand for his life for criticizing him over corruption. Arestovych has vowed to run for president and imprison Zelensky and all the politicians supporting him, who are destroying the country and wiping out a whole generation, all to enrich themselves.
This is the former adviser to Zelensky, Alexey Arestovich, who quit in protest. He has publicly stated that “The west deceived Russia. They promised not to push NATO to the east, and they did. They turned Ukraine into a huge anti-Russian country. If I was in Russia’s shoes, I would have done the exact same thing.”He has vowed to run for President when elections are held, and he promises to throw Zelensky in prison for life with his cronies.
Zelensky faces a Hobson’s choice – die by firing squad, or hanging?
Zelensky will have to flee Ukraine if there were an actual election. There is no question about it, he will not live to see old age. His personal hatred of Russians will destroy Europe, and new governments will come to power, and they will see him for what he is, assuming he even makes it that far. I do not know where he would get political asylum if there are no WOKE governments standing after 2026-2028.
