Ukraine, UK, and EU are excluded from the Trilateral Table, which means they are on the menu.
#Ukraine Eine jähe Wende im Ukrainekrieg deutet sich an. US-Präsident Trump hat in einer weltweit heiß umstrittenen Mail-Botschaft mitgeteilt, dass er und Putin gemeinsam den Krieg in der Ukraine beenden werden. Zu ihren Bedingungen. Und dass Zelensky dabei keine Rolle spielt. Die Empörung in Kiew und in Brüssel ist riesig. Dennoch wissen vor allem die militärischen Insider genau, was das bedeutet. Ohne US-amerikanische WeltraumMilitärTechnik (StarLink ist nur ein kleiner Teil davon) ist der UkraineKrieg (gegen Russland) nicht zu gewinnen.

Alleged killer of Hind Rajab traveling freely in the United States
——
The Hind Rajab Foundation has filed an urgent request with the US Department of Justice demanding the immediate arrest and criminal prosecution of an Israeli military officer currently traveling freely in the United States, according to a public filing by the organization.
The petition targets Sean Glass, a former company commander in the Israeli army whose occupation unit is directly implicated in the cold-blooded killing of six-year-old Hind Rajab, her family members, and the first responders dispatched to save her in Gaza City.
Extensive investigative findings place Glass and his "Vampire Empire" company—operating under the 52nd Armored Battalion—in the immediate vicinity of the family's vehicle during the massacre, which saw Israeli occupation forces shell and riddle the civilian car with hundreds of bullets.
The legal advocacy group warned that allowing an officer accused of egregious war crimes and acts of genocide to walk unbothered on US soil represents an intolerable collapse of international law and universal jurisdiction.

British Left-Wing Media Outlet ‘The Canary’ Has Announced It Is Officially Closing After 11 Years Of Journalism
The platform was de-banked by Lloyds Bank & later announced a second account with Metro Bank was also frozen. A major attack was launched against the platform, which The Canary said made continuing to operate untenable.
The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) condemned the move by Lloyds Bank as a “disturbing precedent for UK press freedom”. Online commentators have warned that the ability of the establishment to cripple media organisations critical of them creates a hostile environment that will pressure other news outlets to fall into line or face similar potential backlash.

Police cordon in the Albanian capital, Tirana, retreats in panic after being attacked by protesters using homemade Molotov cocktails.
Tomorrow marks exactly one week since the resumption of large-scale anti-government protests in Albania.

Pakistan halts trade at key Iranian border crossings, leaving thousands of trucks stranded
——
Pakistan has quietly suspended commercial trade with Iran through the Taftan and Gabd-Rimdan border crossings in Balochistan province, stranding approximately 2,000 cargo trucks on both sides of the frontier, according to Al Jazeera.
While the Pakistani federal government has refrained from issuing an official public statement, the Quetta Chamber of Commerce and Industry confirmed the stoppage.
Local reports cite conflicting justifications for the sudden closure, attributing the measure either to heightened security operations aimed at counterterrorism and anti-smuggling or to temporary technical disruptions at the customs checkpoints.

My thoughts are for her family and hope for her recovery

Attacks last night on St. Petersburg. Has NATO crossed the line between proxy war,and direct war? Why is there no discussion about where that line lies, and no concern about attacking the world’s largest nuclear power? Will we chant “unprovoked” when Oreshniks land on our cities?

🇮🇷 General Nagdi: We have developed the "mother of all missiles" for the United States.
Advisor to the Supreme Commander of the IRGC:
🔵 The technology for producing the American 14-ton bomb is now in our possession.
🔵 The most powerful American bomb weighs 10 tons. However, during the 12-day war with the United States, a 14-ton bomb was dropped on Iran, but it failed to detonate.
🔵 Now, the alloys, electronic circuits, and all the technologies of the American 14-ton bomb have been studied and analyzed, and we possess this technology.
🔵 If they themselves are hit by such a bomb, they should know where we obtained this technology.

Video of masked Israeli settlers striking European diplomats and elected officials near Taybeh, a Christian village in Palestine. The 78-year-old French mayor Bernard Baudoux was thrown to the ground and beaten with iron bars.
Make no mistake: If the Israeli government wanted to put an end to this, they could within minutes. They don't.
Just like Biden pretended that he wanted a ceasefire, but in reality worked tirelessly to enable Israel's genocide.
They are playing the same trick on us again.

Did you know?
Following Operation Ajax; the coup in Iran in 1953 which brought the Shah to power, orchestrated by the CIA & MI6 against democratically-elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh for nationalising Iran’s oil industry…
Within a year, five US majors, the forerunners of today’s ExxonMobil and Chevron, held 40% of the consortium running Iran’s oil industry. Britain’s BP, whose grip Iran had just broken, got 40% back.
Foreign oil corporations kept control of production, pricing and exports until the 1970s. The CIA only formally acknowledged its role in 2013.
Gerald Celente: 'Iran🇮🇷 wanted its OWN OIL, so the UK🇬🇧 and US🇺🇸 toppled its government'
‘I became a trend forecaster and a political atheist when the Iranian conflict broke out in the late 1970s. They taught us to hate Iran, without 99 per cent of the people having any idea how the UK and the United States overthrew the democratically elected government of Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953, because he said the oil in Iran does not belong to Anglo-Iranian Oil, better known today as BP, or Standard Oil, better known today as ExxonMobil.
They did not release the telegrams between Kermit Roosevelt, who was Theodore Roosevelt’s grandson, and Winston Churchill until the late 2000s, of how they were going to overthrow the government.'

🇮🇹🇺🇦 Europe Put Ukraine First. Now Italy Pays the Price.
For years, European leaders prioritized Ukraine and neglected their own children and youth.
Billions into Zelensky's pockets. Europeans left paying.
Now people see no future and are taking to the barricades.
Italy is next.
The bill has come home.

None of our "Western Democracies" are democracies. Our governments do not represent the people but the lobbies. Violence erupts because governments refuse to change course. I support the student protests in France, as I supported the yellow vests. The media is complicit.

The world is going to suffer for many more months through a massive energy crisis.
The oil price is back up to $110 USD, which is basically the same as it was at the peak of the US war against Iran in April and May.
This is going to have very negative consequences for the global economy. Inflation has already been rising in most countries, and will likely further increase.
The US war against Iran unleashed what the International Energy Agency called the biggest oil supply disruption crisis in history.
Now, Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries and depots are only making this worse.
Moreover, the US-backed Saudi war against Yemen has led Ansarallah to retaliate by hitting Saudi oil infrastructure, further exacerbating the energy crisis.
There are no signs of this getting better any time soon. Buckle up.
