I'm sure there are wheels within wheels. If you search "Balochistan" on the substack you'll see that I've written about it in the past--including Anglo-Zionist efforts to stir up unrest. More recently I wrote about a possible Anglo-Zionist motive in doing hampering India's laundering (?) of Russian oil. Quid pro quo?

tis Yarvin is hardly a household name in US politics. But the “neoreactionary” thinker and far-right blogger is emerging as a serious intellectual influence on key figures in Donald Trump’s coming administration in particular over potential threats to US democracy.
Yarvin, who considers liberal democracy as a decadent enemy to be dismantled, is intellectually influential on vice president-elect JD Vance and close to several proposed Trump appointees. The aftermath of Trump’s election victory has seen actions and rhetoric from Trump and his lieutenants that closely resemble Yarvin’s public proposals for taking autocratic power in America.
“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.”
Trump’s really taking it to the next level. He’s going Full Machiavelli à la Strauss. He’s playing the American people like a fiddle. He’s doing exactly what’s necessary to triumph, gaining unprecedented support by putting on a show and exploiting deep-seated frustrations.
DAILY CALLER
Eastman’s activities shed light on ideological traits of Trumpism that have received little attention from legal scholars. He and other hardcore Trump disciples have relied on a highly selective interpretation of the ideas of Leo Strauss (1899-1973), the German Jewish refugee political thinker, to justify Trump’s authoritarian proclivities. Their ideological brew continues to threaten constitutional government in the United States.
The Russian general assassination was an attempt to destroy any negotiations between the U.S. and Russia. It’s telling me that Ukraine and their UK backers want the war to continue.
Pakistan’s military government has a habit of blaming everyone else for their stupid actions. Their goal was cause India to overreact, but not too much, in order to distract from their horrible economy. A rally around the Pakistani flag ploy. And since Pakistan has nukes, they feel safe poking India from India going too far. India’s response using water was unexpected.
You may or may not be aware of incarcerated ex President of Pakistan: Imran Khan, considered one of the world's greatest cricketers.
Not only was he deposed in a non-coup coup, but then barred from standing again. Rather like the recent case in Romania, and similar outcomes in Germany and France. The outcome? Pakistan is secured as a controlled asset of Anglo DeepState and its tired and jaded narratives.
India's response is unexpected, I would agree with this, but it could suggest that they had researched reaction scenarios for when the Pakistani puppets were activated.
I’m not sure about secured. My guess US influence pushed the non coup coup. The Pakistani military just needed to know the US would not object to a non coup coup.
I was aware of that, but it had slipped my mind. I guess that means: I was previously aware of that, but old age and so forth ... Thanks for the reminder.
Likely true - and yet we know we can't depend on the statements of the media to elucidate the truth because of their political and economic interests and bias. That leaves us with the government - and what an opaque Trumpian government it is turning out to be. Can't the Trump admin start to tell us the truth about their foreign and trade policies and the impacts of them short and long term? For their sake they had better. Politics and economics in the U.S. do not do well with time or with lack of explanation; even Trump's strong supporters do not want a God-King or someone who is unpredictable. Who in the Trump admin recognizes this and is acting on it?
While I'm relatively new to reading your columns, I don't know if you've covered the subject in detail before, but in your recent writing, "War: Planned or Just Happens," you mention the video Bravo 7. However, you fail to address the most alarming part in that video, which is the point that America (the deep state) had a hand in 911. Did you cover this in detail in an earlier piece?
It's a vast topic that I've never covered, mostly because I don't believe I have the knowledge to contribute much new. Commenter Amanda R linked to these videos and they seemed a good thing to pass along. Perhaps if Ron Johnson's hearings turn more up we'll go there. I'm limited in what I can cover.
The United States will be able to recoup some of her investment in Project Ukraine through new deals with Russia, but only on mutually beneficial terms. However, it is obvious that this is a much more attractive alternative for the United States: given Russia's massive resource wealth, the upside will be very considerable, with next to no downside risk. On the other hand, providing a security backstop for the European powers would come with a massive downside and with a very dubious upside ...
Absent a miracle, Ukraine is headed for total defeat and London and Paris for bankruptcy. At some point, the capital markets will recognize this for what it is and British and European bonds markets will collapse, along with their currencies.
Trump continues to fund Ukraine, provide weapons and intel and training and advisors, and then has the temerity to tell Putin to stop? He can’t be serious.
I want Trump to succeed but someone needs to take away his phone. And he needs to stop with the stupid extemporaneous speaking in the Oval Office, usually surrounded by a crowd of sycophants and a hostile press. It’s time to start acting like a statesman in public but behind the scenes he can do what is needed. Trump is hard to like, and we need a majority of people to like him so he has an easier time moving his agenda along. Be wise as a serpent and gentle as a dove?
I'm very skeptical--and Helmer has been consistently wrong. He speaks of a Russian pause to gear up for a future war, but that also gives NATO a pause to prepare for war, with its presence in Ukraine preserved. Sounds crazy to me. Far better to continue attritting NATO while also building up the Russian military--which is going on now at a fast pace.
“The Russian source who has long been in a position to know explains there are good reasons for Russian strategy to take a pause. “At this point in time, we have no reason to want to fight a US president who says he doesn’t want to fight Russians. We also know he can’t lift the sanctions legally without Congress. But he can use his executive orders to stop enforcement, and that’s a break we can use to our advantage, as well to the benefit of the Chinese and Indians. We understand a bigger war is coming. The military needs two to three years of preparations, improvements, reorganization. Also, Putin needs to prove he has tried peace with the Americans, and they can’t be trusted. Russians have no illusions about the stability of US politics. This is a deal that is as stable as Trump’s mind.”
I don’t see this as a Russian “surrender,” but rather an acceptance of reality: while Trump is in office, a deal is possible - maybe it’s not everything we want, but at this point in time, we’ll take it. We have time…
Putin was building up the Russian military during that period, and in particular the inventory of hypersonics that could hold NATO at bay.
"once he started war refused to fight it. Half assed it whole time"
Wrong. Results so far have shown that full frontal assault against the second strongest army in Europe, well entrenched, would have been a Russian disaster. Events have proven the success of attrition strategy.
"pathetic 100K initial invasion"
This was attempt to force settlement without major war, and Istanbul proved it a near success.
Putin is treading carefully because he's trying to keep the economy humming after two decades of recovery. For every measure you suggest, NATO could have taken measures that might have hit Russia harder--shadow fleet, etc.--or would lead to a wider war. His allies--especially China--didn't want that.
You apparently don't take Putin seriously regarding Ukies being brother Slavs, but it's true. There are very large numbers of people who are R/U, not just in Ukraine but in Russia, too. He doesn't want to wage war on Ukrainians and Ukraine per se because he wants to incorporate a Ukraine that will be pro-Russian. So he doesn't want to destroy Ukraine.

Seems like neutrality is a dirty word nowadays, Imran Khan was deposed because of it and India is going to feel the brunt of it.
Interesting that despite Trump’s bluster about foreign aid he forked out 1/2 billion to maintain Pakistan’s airforce a couple of months ago.
US military industrial complex must be smiling like a Cheshire Cat.
The Russian general assassination was an attempt to destroy any negotiations between the U.S. and Russia. It’s telling me that Ukraine and their UK backers want the war to continue.

I’m not sure about secured. My guess US influence pushed the non coup coup. The Pakistani military just needed to know the US would not object to a non coup coup.
My recollection from reading about this--quite a while ago--is that the US really did push to have Khan removed.
I was aware of that, but it had slipped my mind. I guess that means: I was previously aware of that, but old age and so forth ... Thanks for the reminder.
Messing with the MSM?
(1) Trump says he is open to meeting Iran's Supreme Leader [on the golf course (SL is a BIG HITTER)].
(2) Trump: Netanyahu will not drag me into war with Iran. If we don't get a deal, I will lead [US forces out of harms way].
(3) JUST IN: President Trump says he had a meeting with China this morning [about setting up a foursome, see 1]
JUST IN: China and the U.S. are NOT having any consultation or negotiation on tariffs. The U.S. should stop creating confusion. [True]
Trump was telling the truth about there having been a meeting with China (even if it was not personally attended by him): https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/chinese-delegation-spotted-entering-treasury-department-demands-photos-be-deleted-report
According to Bloomberg, those Chinese officials were there for a regularly scheduled meeting in conjunction with the current IMF meetings.
Perhaps true. On the other hand one must always consider the media sources and their interests nowadays. For example:
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-24/trump-s-trade-whiplash-sinks-world-into-dreaded-uncertainty
Likely true - and yet we know we can't depend on the statements of the media to elucidate the truth because of their political and economic interests and bias. That leaves us with the government - and what an opaque Trumpian government it is turning out to be. Can't the Trump admin start to tell us the truth about their foreign and trade policies and the impacts of them short and long term? For their sake they had better.

I like the idea of golf as a way to bring together world leaders to hash out these difficult issues.
Threesomes for the 2025 Mar-a-Lago Global Golf Summit this June.
Group One: Jong Un, Putin and Trump
Group Two: Iran's Supreme Leader, Vance and Xi
Group Three: Macron, Starmer and Zelensky
