Here is a rundown of some of the key information we all got to cover tonight on the broadcast!

ISRAEL:
-The Israeli intelligence gang has spread malware around the world. - From ANTIWAR: “Highly invasive spyware from a consortium led by a former senior Israeli intelligence official and sanctioned by the US government is still being used to target people in multiple countries, a joint investigation published Thursday revealed.”
-The IDF Chief in Gaza claims that the “Yellow Line” is the new “border” for Gaza, meaning that Israel is claiming the rest. LINK
-Hamas leaders say they are willing to put aside their weapons in a “storage” situation, if they can get a long-term peace LINK
-Sheldon Richman has written an excellent piece on the genocide and the mindset of many who try to cover it up or excuse it. LINK
-Israeli fascists wore noose-shaped lapel pins to a legislative debate to push for the power to kill Palestinian prisoners. LINK
-Marjorie Taylor Greene notes that this week, the House will vote on the yearly boondoggle and war-state bankroll of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), and that it, as usual, contains lots of money and arms for Israel… LINK
-And while the US govt attacks innocent people near Venezuela, the Israelis continue to break the Gaza “ceasefire.” LINK
-Here is an example of how the Israelis “handle” the people they are starving and bombing… LINK

VENEZUELA:
-The US hit another boat on the 4th, making that 22 strikes since the end of August…
-Hegseth Saturday doubled-down on his belief that killing innocent people and breaking his oath to protect and defend the US Constitution are perfectly fine. LINK From the Common Dreams article: “According to the Guardian, Hegseth told a gathering at the Ronald Reagan presidential library that the boat bombings, which so far have killed at least 87 people, are necessary to protect Americans from illegal drugs being shipped to the US.”
-The Catholic Archbishop to the US military has spoken out against the US mass murder in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific. It took him a long time. LINK
-The Venezuelan military is showing up to offer visible evidence of what the US will encounter should Trump expand his aggression. LINK
-This, from Danny Haiphong’s channel, is key analysis of what appears to be the long-term US strategy in South and Central America - a plan to block Chinese manufacturing, sales, and other industry from operating in those regions. LINK

UKRAINE:
-Zelinsky is in England to beg for more, off the backs of taxpayers in the UK and EU. LINK (England still is tied to the EU for “defense”.)
-Denmark is pulling back funds to Ukraine, because of the corruption that finally is coming to light for more people LINK
- JP Morgan Prez Jamie Dimon says the EU is driving out investment with its threats to seize Russian assets and its continued warmongering and trade blocks. Chris Rossini notes that the US is not far behind. LINK
-Germany is restarting registration for conscription, pitting young Germans against Russia in a possible war, and while Germany also directly and indirectly buys Russian energy (still), thus funding the opponents whom the young Germans might be forced to fight. LINK

MUSK v EU:
-The EU is imposing $150 million in fines on Musk’s X for not conforming to its draconian and invasive demands for backdoor information access and censorship. Musk is calling for the end of the EU. Not just the end, but the ABOLITION of the EU. LINK JD Vance is speaking in favor of Musk, but his support is weak and doesn’t really show consistency, since, though he claims that “antisemitism” is not on the rise, he supports censorship in the US in the form of attacks on immigrants who speak for Palestinian peace on college campuses. He completely supports the US selectively withholding the already unconstitutional funds for colleges that allow protests in favor of Palestine. LINK. In fact, in May 2024, he introduced the “Encampments or Endowments Act,” a bill aimed at blocking federal financial assistance (such as Pell Grants) to colleges unless they shut down such encampments, framing them as disruptive and sometimes supportive of anti-Israel or pro-Hamas sentiment.
-Chay Bowes has key info on the fact that the EU attack on X has been bubbling for a long time. LINK
Michael Shellenberger reports on how Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, and others have been involved in calling for EU attacks on X LINK
-This EU attack has contributed to X becoming even more popular, making it the top news platform in Europe. LINK
-In NH, a libertarian-minded state Senator, Keith Ammon (a friend, here in NH), has responded to the EU-X attack with a bill LINK The GRANITE Act (Guaranteeing Rights Against Novel International Tyranny & Extortion) is a proposed state-level bill aimed at protecting New Hampshire residents and businesses from foreign censorship by allowing them to sue governments like those in the EU or UK in U.S. courts. It strips sovereign immunity for such actions, enabling claims for at least $10 million in damages per violation (or triple the foreign fine), plus injunctions and potential asset seizures. The bill responds to cases like this one, the EU’s €120 million “fine” on X (formerly Twitter) under the Digital Services Act and UK Ofcom’s threats against U.S. platforms. Now, numerous other states are picking up Keith’s legislation and proposing it in their legislatures.
BTW, this EU attack on X is an example of precisely what I try to warn those who embrace the thinking behind the unconstitutional “Marsh v Alabama” SCOTUS decision, from 1946. By allowing government to define what “types” of private property are okay to keep under the control of the owner, and what “types” are going to be defined by government as “the public square” even though they are private, the statists on the bench destroyed the principle of private property, opening it to the argumentation of the Tragedy of the Commons.

-SCOTUS HEARD ORAL ARGUMENTS ON TRUMP’S UNILATERAL TARIFF TERRORISM on November 5, lasting nearly three hours. Justices across the spectrum (e.g., Sotomayor, Roberts, and conservatives) expressed skepticism, questioning if tariffs equate to “taxes” reserved for Congress and invoking the major questions doctrine (requiring an explicit congressional bill for a tariff to be imposed).

-ENGLAND v JURY TRIALS (ESP FOR PROTESTERS) - Let’s recall that Lammy (not LEMMY!) is pushing to “make things better” for people by ending centuries of Common Law. LINK The history of jury trials, habeas, and jury nullification is key in western civ. William Penn (1644–1718), an English Quaker and founder of Pennsylvania, was a fervent advocate for religious freedom. In 1670, amid England’s post-Restoration crackdown on nonconformists, Penn and fellow Quaker William Mead faced a “legal attack” when arrested for preaching to an unlawful assembly under the Conventicle Act. Their trial at London’s Old Bailey became a landmark battle against judicial overreach. The judge, seeking conviction, coerced the jury, but the 12 jurors, led by Edward Bushel, acquitted Penn and Mead despite evidence, asserting their right to judge both fact and law. Infuriated, the court fined and imprisoned the jurors without food or water. Bushel petitioned for a writ of habeas corpus, challenging their detention. The Court of Common Pleas granted it, ruling juries could not be punished for verdicts, thus reinforcing habeas corpus in British common law as a safeguard against arbitrary imprisonment. This “Bushel’s Case” established jury nullification—the power to acquit contrary to law or evidence—as a enduring principle in British courts, influencing common law for centuries by affirming jury independence. — Here is some interesting work on the topic, stemming from the OJ Simpson criminal trial.

UKRAINE
-Talks. Jared. Russia will have to keep the military operation going. Once they take Odessa, the EU maniacs might realize it’s been over from day one. LINK
-More, from the Russian official POV LINK
-A survey of German MPs shows widespread opposition to stealing Russian assets. LINK
-YET, the WSJ reports that German govt officials secretly have drawn-up a plan to ATTACK RUSSIA over Ukraine. Via The New American, The Germans are “racing to implement” a “secret plan for a war with Russia…
-And, Amy Klobuchar and Lindsay Graham are STILL pushing for Ukraine to get your money. Both of them hung out with Oley Tyahnybok of the Nazi Svodoba party circa late 2013, early 2014. LINK
VENEZUELA
-You might not be surprised to discover that the US has eliminated evidence of survivors from one of their other Caribbean-Eastern-Pacific murder-strikes. As David Schuster of the Young Turks notes on X: “Breaking: US Navy deleted video of October 17 boat strike survivors. In this attack, two men were rescued and detained on USS Iwo Jima. Navy was ordered to delete photos/videos, ship document reveals.”
Here is some of the article:
”Only twice, to our knowledge, have survivors been identified as the smoke cleared. On September 2, 2025, two survivors were identified clinging to the wreckage of the boat when another strike was ordered that summarily ended the lives of those survivors.
And on the 17th of October, around 1430, or 2:30 PM, the smoke cleared from a strike and two survivors were identified. This time, those individuals were retrieved from the wreckage and brought on board the USS Iwo Jima.
What transpired after those individuals were brought on board proves that we are in an entirely new paradigm within the US military, one in which video and photographic material is deleted, US military servicemembers are asked to defy standing protocol and code, and human beings disappear from record as they are summarily and without trial returned to what is purported to be their native countries.”

WAR CRIMINALS - US VERSION
-Hegseth claims that the US govt is “asking” parents to serve up their kids and pay for the military. When was the last time the feds or any political institution operated via “asking” rather than demanding and ordering? LINK
-Hegseth ALSO says the “War” Dept will not commit to releasing the vid of their Sept 2 attack on a boat in the Caribbean. LINK

-ICE and the DHS already scared Google and Apple into dropping the ICE-Tracker apps from their stores. Yet we see a headline reading, “Google, Apple urged by House committee to pull apps tracking ICE agents” LINK
They already removed these apps (or similar ones) earlier. The main app mentioned, ICEBlock, and related tools were pulled from the stores back in October 2025, following pressure from U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Apple removed ICEBlock and similar apps from the App Store, citing policy violations related to harmful content. Google stated ICEBlock was never on the Play Store but removed comparable apps for policy reasons… This letter from the House committee appears to be a follow-up, asking the companies to detail their ongoing measures to monitor and prevent any such apps from reappearing or new ones emerging, and requesting a briefing by December 12.
-The Trump administration is slapping a $5,000 “apprehension fee” on migrants without legal status, a top Border Patrol official announced. LINK So, they will kidnap people, then charge them $5000 for it. How kind.
-A Dem Congresswoman from Arizona was on-site when ICE raided, and she offers more indicting info about how the unconstitutional and immoral agency treated her LINK
-Some Dems in Congress have reintroduced a bill they call the “Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act” — it wouldn’t do what their oath actually requires them to do, which is attempt to impeach the President for invading states with ICE and to work to try to eliminate ICE because it is unconstitutional and immoral — it would see the kidnapped “treated better” by their kidnappers. LINK
Here is some info:
The Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act (reintroduced December 3, 2025, by Reps. Pramila Jayapal and Adam Smith) aims to reform U.S. immigration detention practices. Critics argue it would severely limit ICE’s detention authority. Key proposed changes include:

• Ends private/prison-like detention — Phases out the use of private and non-DHS facilities for immigration detention, shifting to civil standards.

• Eliminates mandatory detention — Abolishes requirements for automatic detention in many cases, including for asylum seekers.

• Prioritizes release and alternatives — Establishes a presumption of release on bond or least restrictive conditions, with hearings to justify continued detention.

• Imposes strict oversight and standards — Requires DHS to adopt binding civil detention standards (based on American Bar Association guidelines), increases transparency, and adds accountability for abuses.

• Limits overall detention scope — Focuses on community-based alternatives, potentially reducing ICE’s ability to detain large numbers of immigrants pending proceedings.

-IMMIGRATION POLICE STATE: THE SUPREME COURT “BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP” FACTOR - The “Justices” Friday announced that they will hear and decide on “birthright citizenship.” LINK More, from SCOUSBlog LINK
-A 19-year-old college student on her way from Boston to Texas to see her family for Thanksgiving was kidnapped and shipped to Honduras. LINK That’s surely the “American way.”
-MORE SCOTUS ACTION, AS TRUMP ADMIN ASKS SCOTUS TO APPROVE SPEECH STIFLING OF “IMMIGRATION JUDGES” WHO MIGHT MENTION BILL OF RIGHTS IN SPEECHES. LINK
-Mesa Ozturk’s lawyers are back in court for her, seeking her immigration pass reinstatement (she is the Tufts student who was kidnapped in Somerville, MA, early this year) LINK

-Hmm. The German government wants to install SURVEILLANCE TECH INSIDE PRIVATE BERLIN HOMES. LINK BTW, the move would allow the government to install spyware on home computers and personal phones…

-A private initiative would show people if this is viable. David Knight got to discuss the interesting idea of using electric charges to pull the minerals out of already-created-and-discarded devices, and he also noted that there is not any need or authority for the US government to get involved. LINK

-Layoffs have hit their highest since the 2020 lockdowns (though they use the erroneous term “pandemic” in this article). LINK

Waymos caught on camera passing loading school buses in Texas… Yep. LINK

- This doesn’t mean X will not censor (or continue manipulating what people see or don’t see), but X IS fighting the EU thought and snoop cops. Here is what Michael Shellenberger said, in part, on X: ‘Today, the European Commission fined Elon Musk’s X €140 million for, it says, breaking laws requiring social media transparency. Specifically, said the Commission, which is the executive branch of the European Union, X broke the law by making its blue checkmarks available to anyone, failing to make its advertising repository transparent, and failing to provide researchers with special access to its data. “Today’s decision has nothing to do with content moderation,” insisted the Commission’s spokesperson.

In truth, the Commission’s fine has everything to do with “content moderation,” which is censorship. The EU wants X to give its data to government-selected “researchers” so they can identify which posts and advertisements should be censored. This is a censorship-by-proxy strategy. The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from 2020 to 2022, and Europe today, have authorized government-funded NGOs to demand censorship of social media platforms in an attempt to deceive the public.’ LINK

THE TRUMP WAR CRIMES IN CARIBBEAN

-The Trump Admin has hit a 23rd boat. LINK Meanwhile, CNN adds to the information we can see re the most focused-on hit, from Sept 2, that has brought attention to the so-called “double-tap” — something that was much more than a “double-tap” and which was a crime with the first hit, itself.
-That Sept 2 strike sees more damning info surface. LINK
-Sen Tom Cotton made a fool of himself on CNN, trying to defend the Trump crimes. LINK and LINK AND MORE LINK and.. MORE
-The Number Two in VZ, Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, is as defiant as Maduro, and he notes that the “opposition” choice of the US, that being Muchado, is widely seen as a criminal attempting to usurp the govt on behalf of American and UK political and corporate interests. LINK
-Max Blumenthal has key thoughts about the mass murder, the double-taps, and the towering hypocrisy of the Trumpers (esp Marco Rubio) who claim they are attacking drug traffickers, while they work closely with the Miami-born President of Ecuador, Daniel Noboa, who is VERY friendly with Rubio and the US, and who appears to be shuttling massive amounts of cocaine in banana shipments ( via Noboa Family Shipping/Trading and their subsidiary, Bonita Bananas). HERE ARE DEEPER DETAILS ON THE ECUADOR-US CORRUPTION TIES:
In 2009, Ecuadoran Then-President Rafael Correa expelled U.S. forces from the Manta airbase and amended the constitution to prohibit foreign military bases, citing sovereignty concerns. This ban remained in place until President Daniel Noboa’s administration (2023–present) began pushing for closer U.S. military cooperation. Noboa ratified two U.S.-Ecuador military agreements in February 2024, enabling joint operations against “illicit activities” like “drug trafficking” (but Noboa’s family appears to be involved with drug trafficking, and the US facilitates it by working with Noboa to eliminate competition) and illegal fishing. These pacts allow U.S. personnel to operate in Ecuador for anti-narcotics efforts but do not explicitly authorize combat or exercises targeting third countries like Venezuela.
Noboa’s government has framed U.S. cooperation primarily as domestic security enhancement, though it aligns with broader U.S. regional fascist strategies that increasingly push on Venezuela’s government.
In early 2025, amid escalating U.S. pressure on Venezuela—including Trump’s designation of Venezuelan-linked groups as “narco-terrorists” and a major U.S. naval deployment to the Caribbean—Noboa publicly sought deeper U.S. involvement. In March 2025, he met with Trump in Florida, expressing interest in hosting U.S. bases. By August–September 2025, during U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s visit to Quito, Noboa endorsed a potential U.S. military base, pending a referendum, while agreeing to designate Ecuadorian gangs (Los Lobos (not the band!) and Los Choneros) as terrorists. Rubio emphasized U.S. intent to “wage war” on such groups, claiming they were linked to Venezuelan networks, but providing utterly zero evidence. This stance appeared to evolve further in the context of U.S. operations against Venezuela:

• Ecuador provided political support for the U.S. Caribbean deployment (launched October 2025), described by CNN as hardening regional opposition to Maduro’s regime and the “Cartel of the Suns” (which is a made-up, fake threat that the US weaved out of an old CIA operation).

• On September 4, 2025, following a U.S. strike on a vessel in the southern Caribbean (framed as anti-narcotics), Noboa thanked the U.S. for “eliminating terrorist threats,” signaling alignment with U.S. actions indirectly tied to Venezuela.

• U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem toured Ecuadoran facilities in late 2025, reinforcing joint US-Ecuadoran plans.

These moves suggested a pro-U.S. shift, potentially opening Ecuadoran land or airspace for staging anti-Venezuela operations, though no explicit permissions for “combat or combat exercises against Venezuela” were publicly confirmed. Noboa described his domestic crackdown as a “war” and invited U.S., European, and Brazilian forces to join, but emphasized so-called “narco-trafficking” over direct Venezuelan targeting – which fits with just the fake narrative the US is pushing.

BUT… On November 16, 2025, Ecuador held a referendum on constitutional changes, including lifting the ban on foreign military bases (e.g., in the Galápagos for joint anti-narcotics ops). The proposal failed decisively, with ~65% voting “no” (based on 90% of ballots counted). A related measure for a constitutional assembly to enable broader reforms also failed (61% rejection). This outcome:

• Reaffirmed the 2009 ban, blocking permanent U.S. bases.

• Dealt a political blow to Noboa, who had campaigned heavily for the changes as essential for international security aid.

Ecuadorian officials, including Interior Minister John Reimberg, stated post-referendum that a “no” vote would not derail existing security plans, including the 2024 agreements for joint U.S. operations. However, the result explicitly curtailed ambitions for expanded U.S. access, raising sovereignty alarms amid U.S.-Venezuela escalations (e.g., Trump’s November 29, 2025, airspace closure declaration and threats of land strikes).Post-Referendum Stance (November–December 2025) As of today:

• No public statements from Noboa indicate further softening or reversal on U.S. military access for anti-Venezuela actions. The referendum’s rejection has tempered the government’s proactive stance, reverting to the constitutional prohibition on bases while maintaining limited joint patrols under prior pacts.

• Ecuador continues “political support” for U.S. regional efforts (e.g., against Maduro-linked trafficking), but this does not extend to authorizing Ecuadorian territory for direct combat launches or exercises against Venezuela.

Thus, we can see that, due to the public pushback, the Ecuadorian government has changed its stance—from actively pursuing expanded U.S. military access (including bases that could facilitate anti-Venezuela operations) earlier in 2025, to a more restrained position post-referendum. The November 2025 vote rejected Noboa’s push, upholding sovereignty limits and blocking the infrastructure for such uses, though cooperative anti-drug pacts persist. This shift reflects domestic pushback rather than a full pivot against U.S. partnership, amid ongoing U.S. escalations toward Venezuela. No evidence suggests Ecuador has granted or plans to grant explicit permissions for U.S. combat launches from its soil or airspace against Venezuela as of now

ISRAEL - GENOCIDE MACHINE

A lot of US Christian Zionists are there to worship in the death state. LINK
- One of the food-looting gang leaders paid by Israel in Gaza is dead. LINK

According to a Bloomberg report citing the latest ADP National Employment Report released on December 3, 2025, U.S. private-sector employers unexpectedly cut 32,000 jobs in November 2025—the largest monthly decline since early 2023. This slowdown was broad-based across industries but disproportionately driven by small businesses, which shed 120,000 positions (the steepest one-month drop for firms with fewer than 50 employees since May 2020). In contrast, medium-sized firms (50–499 employees) added 51,000 jobs, while large firms (500+ employees) added 39,000, partially offsetting the small-business losses. ADP Chief Economist Nela Richardson attributed the pullback to “choppy hiring” amid cautious consumer spending and macroeconomic uncertainty, with small businesses particularly vulnerable due to thin margins and sensitivity to policy shifts like tariffs. Economists had anticipated a modest gain of around 10,000–40,000 private payrolls for the month, making the results a notable surprise. Complementing this, outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas reported on December 4, 2025, that U.S. employers announced 71,321 planned job cuts in November—a 53% drop from October’s 153,074 but still 24% higher than November 2024’s 57,727. While Challenger’s data isn’t segmented by business size, it notes small firms have been hit hardest by rising costs and trade policy risks throughout 2025, pushing year-to-date announced layoffs to over 1.1 million—the most since 2020’s pandemic peak. Official Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data for November (including nonfarm payrolls) is delayed until December 16, 2025, due to a recent government funding lapse, so the ADP figures represent the most current private-sector snapshot available as of December 5. Initial unemployment claims also fell to a three-year low of 191,000 for the week ending November 29, suggesting actual separations haven’t yet spiked despite the announcements.It looks like they have a strong suspect. More details to come, and we will see what seems strong or weak in the accusations/narratives. LINK

Trump mocked JD Vance at a big boost-boost gathering in front of the press. LINK
he incident occurred during a televised Cabinet meeting on that date, where President Trump, while criticizing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s 2024 vice presidential debate performance, rambled: “I think the man’s a grossly incompetent man... I was saying, ‘Who was more incompetent? That man or my man? I had a man and he had a man. They were both incompetent.’” With Vice President JD Vance seated directly across from him, this appeared to label Vance as “incompetent” too. Trump later clarified, “And, uh, I had a man and a woman [Kamala Harris]. I thought [she] was very incompetent too.” The moment went viral, with observers noting Trump’s glowering expression during Vance’s remarks.

WAR

File in the “ARE YOU SERIOUS?” Department… TRUMP RENAMES US “INSTITUTE FOR PEACE” AFTER HIMSELF. (NOT A JOKE). LINK
SYRIA
-Trump ALSO sends handwritten note of affection to former al Queda, ISIS, HTS, neck-slicer, Al Sharaa (ne al Jolani) while claiming to oppose ISIS in Somalia and bombing the nation to show how much the US hates illegal aggression. See how logical that is?
…Here is a quote from the AntiWar report: “‘Ahmed, you will be a great leader — and the United States will help!’ Trump said in the note, which was delivered by Tom Barrack, the US ambassador to Turkey, who has also served as an envoy to Syria. Attached to the letter was a photo of Trump and Sharaa’s Oval Office meeting that took place last month.”
VENEZUELA
-WH Press Sec and supporter of war crimes Karoline Leavitt reported an editorial from the NY Post that Trump is fighting for “Venezuelan freedom.” How engaging in unconstitutional, extrajudicial, war-crime killings in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific, and how an attempt to overthrow a government by forcing all of US to pay for it has anything to do with “freedom” might be a bit difficult to figure out. LINK
-In the US Senate, Rand Paul (R-KY) and a few others reintroduced their call for Trump to get “permission” from Congress before he attacks Venezuela. Since that is what is required in their glorious US Constitution, one would think such a proposal to reiterate it with legislation would be unnecessary and reiterative. For a few paragraphs in the “War Powers Resolution”, Rand and the others with him make valid points about the need for a Declaration of War, but then, they offer this:
“Section 1013 of the Department of State Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1984 and 1985 (50 U.S.C. 1546a) provides that any joint resolution or bill to require the removal of United States Armed Forces from imminent engagement in hostilities without a declaration of war or specific statutory authorization shall be considered in accordance with the expedited procedures of section 601(b) of the International Security and Arms Export Control Act of 1976.” - Statutory Authorization is not a Declaration of War. That’s a big slice against their own oath to protect and defend the Const.
-Trumpers in the Admin are making all kinds of nutty claims about the deaths Trump is stopping by killing people near Venezuela LINK
-And ABC’s Military Reporter Hack Martha (two of her previous marriages were tied to big govt-boosters) doesn’t question the use of the Trump Admin claim that the people in a boat off the coast of VZ were a “legitimate military target” before or after the first attack. Even as they claim the two survivors might be trying to climb back onto the wreckage (duh, to not drown, obviously) and they and the likes of Hegseth use the term “combat” to describe this, it was NEVER COMBAT. IT was MURDER AS QUINCY the old TV character would say. LINK LINK
- Congressman Mike Turner says the obvious, the targets of Trump’s murder team were accused of engaging in drug smuggling, which does not have as a penalty, even under the unconstitutional drug prohibition statues. LINK
-COl MacGregor offers key points here, esp starting at the 4 min mark. LINK
UKRAINE
-The “steal Russian tax money from the Russian government that took it from taxpayers in the first place” plan in Europe took another turn since we covered it last night on Liberty Conspiracy Live. The EU’s Queen Ursula proposed new ways to steal the Russian “sovereign” funds held at the Euroclear Bank in Brussels. Belgium has said NO to both ideas. LINK
-Ursula is driving to end European use of Russian fuel, which will be a terrible blow to citizens all over Europe. Just insane. LINK
-Chay Bowes has key thoughts on this LINK
-Politico reports that the scandals in he EU could be pressure on von der Leyen. LINK
-Der Speigel notes that EU leaders called Zelinsky to warn him off any agreement with the US and Russia. LINK Redacted has good coverage of this today with an interview with Dr. Olga Ravasi. LINK
RUSSIA-INDIA
Putin visited India. This is much bigger than the Western media is showing people, from what I am seeing as we work on things today. LINK
ISRAEL
Just a quick one to observe how absurd Loomer can be. LINK
-More IDF-created death LINK
-And a good point, from Dave DeCamp re a GOP-er Zionist to the Max. LINK

Border wall - eminent domain of land and your wallet. LINK

-Does anyone believe this? LINK

**QUICK TAKE ON AI and some of the unrealistic takes on a portion of AI that actually is positive (not all of the AI, esp surveillance and propaganda uses) is good, of course:
I’m not 100% opposed to AI as a tool. Some argue “it will put Americans out of work” but all tools do that at first, freeing up labor. For ex what if someone said, “make that job harder, requiring more hands to do what one person could have done previously. Folks correctly would find that unproductive + lame, so the AI potential to cut work isn’t necessarily bad b/c it can free up labor to apply to other, new ideas…

UKRAINE
-Kushner and Witkoff just completed their 5 hours of talks with Putin. LINK Larry Johnson has key thoughts on it LINK
-NATO Gen Sec Rutte decided he already had not said enough dumb things, so he just claimed that Zelinsky is rooting OUT corruption in Ukraine…! LINK
- AND, the EU still wants to take the Russian money forever LINK
-AND Rutte is amping up the rhetoric about taking on Russia via Ukraine, and he is reciting false narratives, like mad. LINK and Politico on it LINK Financial Times on it: LINK and Russia responds LINK

CORRUPTION IN THE ALREADY CORRUPT EU
-Yeah, and this charge could be a signal to Ursula in her EU throne. LINK

US ECONOMY
-GM is going to shift (pun intended) back to GAS-POWERED cars, opening two new plants (in Ohio, and MI) LINK

TARIFF TERRORISM -
-Costco is suing the Trump Admin for the tariffs it has had to pay on imported goods. Good for them!! LINK
-Algoma Steel, cutting jobs. LINK

FREE SPEECH, FEDERALISM
- This Mississippi street-preacher was arrested for what he said and showed on the sidewalk near an abortion facility. The focus here is incorrect when people look at this as a “First Amendment Issue”, because the 1st A only focuses on the US Congress. One must look at the state constitution here. LINK

IMMIGRATION POLICE STATE
-The US might withhold lots of unconstitutional funds for Minnesota over the state issuing drivers licenses to “non-citizen truck drivers”. LINK
