This is an interesting side play. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has cancelled his planned trip to Saudi Arabia, because he was not a participant in the U.S-Russia discussions which took place in Riyadh. On Sunday, Zelenskyy said that his country would “never” accept a peace deal struck by the United States and Russia if Ukraine was not involved in the talks.
European elites had a collective fit over Vice President J.D. Vance’s fiery speech at the Munich Security Conference last week, where he lambasted them for their war on free speech. Vance also blasted their authoritarian censorship tactics.
Vance warned that the greatest danger Europe faces today is the censorship of free speech and silencing of political opponents.
The Gateway Pundit reported that Vance’s hard truth left Christoph Heusgen, the Chairman of the Munich Security Conference, crying on stage.
Ukraine is the acknowledged money-laundering capital of the world. Most Americans don’t know this because the Western media hides it. However, the scope of corruption within the Ukrainian government is so well known, most Eastern Europeans view current Ukrainian government officials as mere financial beneficiaries to the war.
Last week, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, who has singlehandedly helped to crater MSNBC ratings, thought she was zapping President Trump and Elon Musk. Instead, she slammed Dementia Joe.
Maddow criticized a contract between Tesla and the U.S. Department of State for armored Teslas. Maddow seemed to suggest that this was somehow shady payback by Trump to Musk for his support.
But there is a problem with Maddow’s fake news. As Jesse Watters noted: Donald Trump didn’t give that contract to Elon Musk. Joe Biden gave it to him.
Back in 2008 Barack Obama ran on a platform to “fundamentally transform” America. Of course, most people did not realize that Obama wanted to transform America from a country of freedom and liberty into one that would be managed by government elites from the top down. Marxism, socialism and communism were the trademarks of the Obama regime. The idea of individual freedoms was at the bottom of Obama’s list.
Today, 17 years later, we are seeing the most dramatic shift in the perceptions of our government and the government of other countries in hundreds of years.
Tulsi Gabbard has been confirmed as Director of National Intelligence (DNI) by a 52-48 vote in the Senate. This was accomplished without Gabbard having to call Edward Snowden a traitor. At one point that seemed to be a requirement for confirmation. Of course, Snowden was not a traitor. Snowden was a whistleblower who had seen what happened to other whistleblowers within the NSA. This was why he took the course of action that he took and why he is still in Russia today.
The Communists Democrats attempted another coup this past Friday. 17 Democratic Attorneys General went to New York to get a judge to freeze Trump appointees out of access to information within their own agencies. The judge issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) to do just that. This order is “impermissible” and is a blatant attempt to engage in judicial activism and violate the Article II separation of powers in our Constitution.
This is a long interview (over two hours) that touches on many topics that those of us have followed. Benz is no the best person at articulating issues. However, what he does reveal is a gold mine. Benz is caught between the need of the US to project “soft power” and the absolute evil that has manifested itself through agencies like USAID in doing so.
The receipts are there. USAID paid off over 9,000 “journalists” as part and parcel of the CommunistsDemocrats annihilating the free press in this country. These figures are from 2023. Nearly half a billion dollars ($472.6 m) was pushed through a secretive NGO called “Internews Network.” The NGO worked with 4,291 media outlets and produced, in one year, 4,799 hours of broadcasts.
This is what happens when you go after the money.
