In trying to unseat Jamaal Bowman, AIPAC has spent $14.5 million to impart the lesson that to be a democratically elected politician in the US, you can't criticize the mass murdering, apartheid and military occupation regime in Israel.

The Democratic Party establishment and their media allies have done their best to spread the message.

Russian Government Ilyushin Il-96-300 "RSD738" (RA-96019) heading towards New York.

Not sure what is it about, no planned visit announced.

Interesting. Wasn't there a Russian " high level VIP" type plane on a US East Coast tarmac a few months back. Never hears anything more about that🤔

Maybe Putin is delivering his warnings, to the wayword Empire in a very official capacity?

Yes. And yesterday Austin initiated a phone call to Beluosov. In addition to very tough talk from Lavrov to the US ambassador: We're not at peace with you.

Excellent. Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall for those two " conversations ".

What amazes me is, these DC Clowns go on TV, broadcast around the world, and denigrate, demean, threaten,, lie, bully, scream, bluster, change the lie they told yesterday to something else, and then expect to pick up the phone to Moscow and have Moscow do their bidding. Absolute Hubris and idiocy.

BTW, how in the world does any sane person think we are at peace with Russia??? Putin, Xi, Kim, Luckashenko, Iran and the head of Houthis run rings around these DC nincompoops.🙄

A few years ago I read that the English empire recognized its limitation of manpower compared to the enormous populations they controlled. Therefore, they resorted to political maneuverings in other countries, Germany, Russia etc. for example. Except for France, all the leaders of the main countries in WW I were cousins. Thank you Victoria. This excellent synopsis integrates many details about the history that explain the predicament we find ourselves in.

I knew about the Rothschilds, but the connection of how much the British Empire used them to facilitate what the Empire wanted is crucial. The East India Company in the 1600's and their treatment of the Indians along with anyone else in their way came before the Rothschilds. The EIC ran England. And later with the Rothschilds comes central banking, banking, banking. Corporations are now running this country and the banks run them. During the 2007/8 banking meltdown I read a commentary that from the late 1800's there has been a battle between Main St, the regular doings of the populace, against Wall St. I think it was Art Laffer, but he concluded that with the government bailout Wall St won that battle. Wow, guess wat Wall St is. Bankers of course.

I see a distinction between the Reformation creating the subjugation of religious influences as opposed to the normal bad side of human behavior rearing its head. Religious zealots have always been a problem and any human power structure, I'm thinking of when the Catholic church lost its course, will invariably become "secular" and lead to bad behavior. The Evangelical Protestants Mark mentions also fit this.

Excellent article sir. Thank you.

The 3% own the banks, media, academia, most leadership positions in fortune 500s I'm not surprised they own our government too. "the lobby" is probably not even needed but they like a sure thing. For example - Half of powerful gentiles like Biden and Trump families are intermarried to Jews. Like kings of old intermarried enemies families.

It should be mentioned that the Anglo Zionist empire dominates the internet/techno/information space.

Yanis Varoufakis‘ techno feudalism is an eye opener.

Certainly makes sense why the West is apoplectic at Russian ‘misinformation’, fact checking and the sanctioning of TikTok and Huawei.

Mark writes: “Component parts that go to make up the aggregate include . . . the Israel Lobby in the US and UK, Neocon imperial ideology . . .”

It’s worth pointing (again) to the very prominent role played by Jews in the founding and continuing leadership of the Neocon movement.

Mark, so what is going on with the Dems and Israel/Gaza? And then there's the Repubs and Israel? Is it all a good cop bad cop game as both sides have 'handlers' from Israel?

It’s called AIPAC.

fwiw- According to Mario of Maneco64 youtube channel (on finance, central banking, sound money, etc), Jim Sinclair recommended the book Our Crowd- said if you want to know the families behind the Federal Reserve, then read the book. (More on Sinclair here: https://www.gata.org/node/22854). Apparently, Sinclair changed his last name from Seligman, so I think that's how he knew about the families.

Trump says he will threaten Zelensky and Putin into peace talks to end the war:

"We tell the Ukrainians, 'You've got to come to the table, and if you don't come to the table, support from the United States will dry up.

And you tell Putin, He's got to come to the table, and if you don't come to the table, then we'll give Ukrainians everything they need to k*ll you in the field."

Trump seems to be running off the positive polling he's getting and this leads to hubris and stupid statements intended to sound tough, but comes off boorish and uninformed.

“stupid statements intended to sound tough, but comes off boorish and uninformed.”

I’m afraid that’s the rule, not the exception, with Trump.

Expand full comment

I think in the case of the SMO, Trump is totally uniformed. If he has read Putins address of 2007 and in the years since he would not be issuing such bully pulpit screeds.

Hubris and boorish do not play well in the Halls of Power in the East.

It's very disappointing. Trump has a chance few if any in presidential politics get. He is letting his ego over ride statesmanship. His VP should be very telling

It is difficult to treat seriously this thinking. In the first place, likely the NeoCons would find a way to block cutting off aid to Raytheon, I mean Ukraine. Please refer back to Chapter One. Secondly, the threat to Putin is both insulting and meaningless. Ukraine simply lacks the TRAINED military personnel to operate and maintain US weapons. By the way, what US weapons systems? I am damned sick and tired of watching my tax dollars turned into scrap metal! I keep repeating: Better than Biden. Better than Biden. Better than Biden. Saying it more often and, sadly, with diminishing hope.

I am sure President Vladimir Putin, head of a proud millenia old civilizational state will be completely and totally unimpressed.

What a totally gauche and boorish statement. Not to mention completely tone deaf and dismissive of the root cause of the conflict.

Pathetic

I'm not disagreeing with y'all who find Trump's pronouncements simplistic...boorish...insulting...and perhaps wrong-headed. All of the above.

I'll just note that Trump's pronouncements are addressed entirely to the American voter. Who is...uninformed...simplistic...and perhaps wrong-headed. All of the above.

There is some evidence that Trump's actions as President were more nuanced than his campaign sound bites.

We'll have to wait and see.

I totally get that perspective. Trump isn't dumb, but he thinks he can appeal to enough voters on that level to get elected.

One big problem--his appointments. And Mike Pompeo says he's "all in" to "serve" in a second Trump administration.

Other problems. The rhetoric has a negative effect on the possibility for serious US diplomacy. It also hampers Trump in pushing an effective domestic agenda. Rightly or wrongly, large numbers of people react negatively to the rhetoric. It seems to me that the robber baron bully boy rhetoric is more to the fore this time around than in 2016.

I'm not advocating EVER voting for a Dem, so no simple answer. I'm all in on voting for the least bad candidate, and RFK is NOT on my list.

All very well said!!

A Pompeo return in ANY capacity is a Hard NO.

Saw yesterday he might be angling for AG.

I fear his VP pick will be underwhelming. Can't gave anyone who outshines the Boss. Imho

Totally agree on the diplomacy front. There is no American diplomacy and Trump thinking the power of his personality is going to awe the East is just a fantasy.

Russia, China, Iran, DPRK, are all watching the US election maneuvering like a cat at a mousehole.

They will be prepared which ever way it falls out.

Exactly. No indication of the level of statesmenship, geopolitical awareness, diplomacy, finesse needed to stave off WWIII.

Just amplifies the fact that Putin really has no one of his calibre to talk to in the US or Ukraine.

Good comment, but there is a parasite. It's the current governments of many countries and the bankers/corporations that own said politicians. These people can't do ANYTHING that needs doing to sustain even them.
