Executive Summary:

The relationship between China and Russia has evolved from a pragmatic understanding into a profound, multifaceted economic and strategic alignment. This partnership, driven by shared geopolitical grievances against the US-led world order, geographical proximity, and mutual economic necessity, is far more resilient and strategic than often acknowledged by Western powers. Key drivers include a burgeoning energy trade, a significant shift away from the US dollar in financial transactions, and a shared ideological rejection of perceived US global leadership. Attempts by the West to separate these two nations are unlikely to succeed due to the depth of their current cooperation and the absence of historical rifts present during the Cold War era.

Key Themes and Most Important Ideas/Facts:

• Evolution of the Relationship: From Pragmatism to Deep Strategic Alignment:

• What began as a "pragmatic relationship has matured into a multifaceted economic alignment that is driven by necessity factors as simple as geography and shared opposition to the US-led world order."

• This alignment is not merely political or ideological but a "full-blown economic partnership deeper and more strategic than Washington has long acknowledged or would like to acknowledge."

• Foundational Pillars of the Partnership:

• Geography and History: A shared 4,000 km border, with border demarcation agreements in 2001 and 2004 transforming it from a "geopolitical fault line into a stabilizing factor."

• Shared Opposition to the US-Led World Order: Both nations oppose a system where "rules are to be followed by everyone except the one who says the rules statute doesn't apply to Israel or the United States or France or Germany or Great Britain."

• Mutual Necessity and Self-Interest: While not entirely balanced, "states first and foremost are driven by self-interest," and the foundations were "solid enough to support what's come since."

• The Energy Trade: Sealing the Bond and Pivoting Eastward:

• Russia's economy heavily relies on energy exports, while "China's industrial rise requires energy inputs." This makes energy trade "quite obvious to anyone and for the last decade it's driven trade between the two."

• The "overthrowing of the democratically elected president of Ukraine Victor Yanukovich and building CIA bases in eastern Ukraine along Russia's borders" in 2014 was a catalyst for Russia's pivot eastward.

• A significant $400 billion gas deal with China in 2014 led to the Power of Siberia pipeline, described as a "lifeline for Russia and a discount energy jackpot for China. It was a win-win."

• After Europe began hinting at decoupling from Russian gas, Moscow "began seeking alternative partnerships across Asia, particularly for projects of strategic significance like the Arctic LG2 energy development."

• Dramatic Acceleration of Bilateral Trade:

• "Moscow and Beijing set new trade records in each of the three last years," representing a "dramatic acceleration of the existing pattern."

• China is Russia's dominant trading partner:Its share of Russia's foreign trade increased from 11.3% in 2014 to nearly 34% in 2024.

• China now represents approximately 30% of Russia's exports, a proportion held steady for two years.

• Russia's rising importance to China: Russia climbed to seventh place among China's trading partners in 2024, up from 13th in 2020.

• Trade Volume:2022: $190 billion (nearly 30% annual growth)

• 2023: $240 billion (new high, nearly 30% annual growth)

• 2024: Nearly $245 billion (continued expansion)

• Composition of Trade: Russia sends 75% of its exports to China (oil, gas, raw materials), while Beijing supplies "everything from electronics and chemicals to transport parts and household appliances."

• De-dollarization and Financial Alignment:

• Following Western sanctions (blocking Russia from SWIFT, Visa/Mastercard exit), "Russia's settlement in non US dollar skyrocketed because it had no other alternatives."

• By mid-2024, "nearly all foreign exchange trading on Russia's Moscow stock exchange was conducted in yuan."

• Chinese financial instruments like "Union pay cards, Chinese bank systems, and yuan denominated loans are now very popular in Russia."

• A Russian official stated: "Timely and Coordinated steps made by Russia and China to switch to national currencies in trade settlements is also a useful step. As a result, the bulk of our operations is done in UN and rubles. This means we have a sustainable system of mutual trade that is reliably protected against any attacks by third countries and negative trends in the global market."

• Direct investment between the two nations has also soared, with Russian companies investing in China (e.g., Norilsk Nickel exploring copper production shift).

• Shared Ideological and Geopolitical Stance:

• Russia's "disillusionment by NATO expansion, color revolutions, and criticism over its internal affairs" and NATO's rejection of a "joint security architecture in Europe" have pushed it closer to China.

• China views "American military presence in Asia as a provocation to its own security."

• Both increasingly align on "rejecting US global leadership. They promote sovereignty, non-interference, and multipolarity in international relations."

• Their alignment is not just economic but "in a very broad sense of the word close to also being ideologic because of that."

• Resilience Against Western "Reverse Nixon Strategy":

• Proposals from the West to separate them are "unlikely to succeed anytime soon."

• Unlike the 1970s when Nixon could exploit a "real rift between China and the Soviet Union," today "that rift just doesn't exist."

• Crucially, "Russia is not Soviet Union, something that Western politicians seem to conveniently forget or simply not understand."

• Instead, "China and Russia are in the closest phase of their modern relationship."

Conclusion:

The China-Russia economic relationship is presented as a robust and enduring partnership, driven by long-term strategic thinking, mutual economic benefit, and deeply shared grievances against the perceived unilateralism of the US-led world order. This bond is strong, and the speaker posits that "the more aggressive the United States foreign policy becomes, the stronger this bond will be." Despite Western hopes of creating a wedge, "Beijing and Moscow aren't just cooperating. They are committed at this time."

Executive Summary

The relationship between China and Russia has evolved beyond a mere political alliance into a profound, multifaceted economic and strategic partnership1. Driven by shared geographic realities, complementary economic needs, and a mutual opposition to the U.S.-led global order, this bond has proven resilient and continues to strengthen, particularly in response to Western pressures1.... This report details the key drivers, economic manifestations, and geopolitical implications of this deepening alignment, highlighting its sustainability and the challenges it poses to conventional Western strategies.

1. Introduction: A Maturing Partnership

Historically, China and Russia have transformed a contentious geopolitical border into a stabilizing factor through demarcation agreements in 2001 and 20042. What began as pragmatic cooperation has matured into a robust alignment, described as a "full-blown economic partnership deeper and more strategic than Washington has long acknowledged"1. This partnership is characterized by necessity, geographical proximity, and a unified stance against a global order perceived as selectively applied1.

2. Key Drivers of the China-Russia Alignment

Several factors underpin the enduring strength of this relationship:

• Geographic and Historical Foundations: Shared borders, resolved through early 2000s agreements, laid a stable groundwork for cooperation2.

• Energy and Economic Complementarity: Russia, a major energy exporter, and China, with its vast industrial energy demands, form a natural economic fit2. The energy trade has been a primary driver of bilateral commerce for over a decade2.

• Strategic Pivot from the West:

    ◦ Following the 2008 financial crisis and particularly after 2014 (with events in Ukraine), Russia initiated a deliberate pivot eastward24.

    ◦ The $400 billion gas deal in 2014, leading to the Power of Siberia pipeline, was a "lifeline for Russia and a discount energy jackpot for China"4.

    ◦ Hints from Europe about decoupling from Russian natural gas around 2019 further prompted Moscow to seek alternative strategic partnerships across Asia, including in the Arctic region4.

• Shared Geopolitical Grievances and Ideologies:

    ◦ Both nations are united by a rejection of U.S. global leadership, advocating for sovereignty, non-interference, and multipolarity in international relations13.

    ◦ Russia's disillusionment stems from NATO expansion, "color revolutions," and criticism of its internal affairs3.

    ◦ China views the American military presence in Asia as a provocation to its own security, mirroring how the U.S. would perceive similar foreign military presence near its borders3.

    ◦ This alignment is not merely economic but also "close to being ideologic"3.

3. Economic Deepening: Trade, Finance, and Investment

The economic dimension of the China-Russia relationship has seen unprecedented growth and diversification:

• Dominant Trading Partnership:

    ◦ China cemented its position as Russia's dominant trading partner4.

    ◦ Bilateral trade set new records in 2022 ($190 billion), 2023 ($240 billion), and continued to expand to nearly $245 billion in 20244.

    ◦ China's share of Russia's foreign trade surged from 11.3% in 2014 to nearly 34% in 20244.

• Trade Composition:

    ◦ Russia exports primarily energy resources (oil, gas) and raw materials (75% of its exports to China)4.

    ◦ China supplies Russia with a broad range of manufactured goods, including electronics, chemicals, consumer goods, and transportation components4.

    ◦ After Western brands exited Russia in 2024, Chinese brands rapidly dominated sectors like cars and phones4.

• Financial De-Dollarization:

    ◦ Western sanctions, particularly blocking Russia from SWIFT and the exit of Visa/Mastercard, forced Russia to drastically shift away from U.S. dollar settlements4.

    ◦ By mid-2024, nearly all foreign exchange trading on Russia's Moscow stock exchange was conducted in yuan4.

    ◦ UnionPay cards, Chinese bank systems, and yuan-denominated loans have become "very popular in Russia"4.

    ◦ Both countries have taken "timely and coordinated steps" to settle transactions primarily in rubles and yuan, creating a "sustainable system of mutual trade that is reliably protected against any attacks by third countries"3.

• Soaring Direct Investment: Beyond trade, direct investment between China and Russia has soared3. Russian companies have also begun investing in China, with examples such as Norilsk exploring shifting copper production to China3.

4. Strategic Resilience and Future Outlook

The current phase of the China-Russia relationship is described as their "closest phase of their modern relationship"3. Western proposals to create a rift between them, such as a "reverse Nixon strategy," are deemed "unlikely to succeed anytime soon" because the conditions that allowed Nixon to exploit a split in the 1970s no longer exist3.

The economic relationship is not merely a reaction to sanctions or specific events like the situation in Ukraine, but rather a "product of long-term strategic thinking, mutual benefit, and shared global grievances"3. The bond is considered "quite strong," and it is anticipated that "the more aggressive the United States foreign policy becomes, the stronger this bond will be"3. Beijing and Moscow are not just cooperating; they are deeply committed to this alignment3.

Here are the key takeaway points from the provided sources:

I. By the Numbers — Western Propaganda on Russian Losses by Larry C. Johnson

1. The Western media is pushing a narrative of massive Russian losses. Marco Rubio's remarks and The Economist's estimates are cited as typical examples of this narrative. The Economist estimates between 900,000 and 1.3 million Russian casualties since the war began, including 190,000-350,000 deaths.

2. Data on Ukrainian losses is more readily available than for Russia, contrasting with Russian channels. A website called UALosses implies that between 73,000 and 140,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died since the invasion began. Social media shows "hundreds of images of Ukrainian funerals and of graveyards with a literal sea of Ukrainian flags fluttering over a vast expanse of freshly dug graves," a scale not matched in Russia.

3. Russia possesses an overwhelming advantage in firepower, contributing to a disparity in combat deaths. This advantage is specifically noted in artillery shells and drones. Russia's firing rate in 2025 has grown to a 23:1 disadvantage for Ukraine in some sectors.

4. Russia has a significant advantage in artillery shells due to ramped-up domestic production and massive imports. Russia produces 3-4.5 million shells annually and has imported over 9 million from North Korea since 2023, while Ukraine is entirely dependent on Western aid (1.3-2 million annually).

5. Russia holds several key advantages in drone warfare, including superior production volume and stockpiles. Russia aims to produce 2-4 million drones in 2025, outpacing Ukraine's targets, and has cumulative stockpiles estimated at 1.5-2.5 million active drones.

6. Russia's drone capabilities include massive barrage assaults and technologically advanced, resilient designs. Russia routinely launches large-scale drone assaults, with a record of 728 drones in one night in July 2025, and has gained an edge with fiber-optic cable-guided drones resistant to electronic jamming.

7. Ukraine lacks a single weapon system where it holds an advantage over Russia. Russia employs hypersonic missiles and combat aircraft, which Ukraine does not have, and Russia enjoys air supremacy while Ukrainian aircraft are regularly shot down.

II. Is America Sliding Inexorably Towards Its Breakup? by Robert Bridge

1. The domestic situation in America is spiraling out of control, overshadowed by international events. Global attention on the Middle East and Ukraine helps people to "forget about the domestic situation in America that continues to spiral out of control". Evidence suggests the American people are slowly starting to awaken from "the American Dream".

2. Incidents like Senator Alex Padilla's arrest by federal agents highlight escalating domestic tensions and perceived authoritarianism. Padilla was arrested after storming a Department of Homeland Security speaking event in Los Angeles, leading California Governor Gavin Newsom to call the Trump Administration "tyrannical".

3. Disputes over the federalization of the National Guard and the deployment of U.S. Marines reflect deep constitutional and political divisions. A federal judge initially ruled Trump's federalization of the California National Guard unlawful, though this was quickly overturned, and Trump then signaled expanding federalization and deploying Marines to urban areas, drawing anger from Democratic Governors.

4. The deployment of U.S. Marines to Los Angeles and the temporary detention of a civilian raised heated objections against the military acting in a policing role. This incident marked the first known detention by active-duty troops deployed by Trump in the city.

5. An assassination in Minnesota linked to political protests suggests a dangerous rise in targeted political violence. The murder of the State House majority leader and her husband was called "an act of targeted political violence" by Governor Tim Walz, with a political manifesto and a hit list found in the suspect's car.

6. These unsettling circumstances indicate that the United States is on a "political knife edge." The author suggests that whether these events are random or dangerous, the U.S. appears to be more unstable than at any time in its recent history.

7. There is an urgent need for political de-escalation to prevent a "full-blown civil war." The author emphasizes that Democrats and Republicans must "call a political time out and resolve their well-known differences in a calm and methodical manner before the street decides to take matters into its own dirty hands".

III. Mistrusting Government About Epstein and More by Ron Paul, MD

1. The Department of Justice's (DOJ) statements regarding Jeffrey Epstein's case have generated widespread outrage and distrust. The DOJ announced that Epstein did not have a "client list" and definitively stated he committed suicide, directly contradicting Attorney General Pam Bondi's earlier public assertion that she had the client list on her desk. This has been met with outrage, including from prominent Trump allies.

2. The article asserts that "all governments lie," particularly on significant issues, and that the modern state is founded on a series of falsehoods. It highlights that exposing these lies is key to restoring liberty, as growing mistrust of government creates an opportunity for the liberty movement.

3. Examples of government lies include claims that moral prohibitions do not apply to them and that regulations protect consumers. The author states that governments lie by claiming moral prohibitions against murder and theft do not apply to them, and that government regulations genuinely protect consumers, workers, and small businesses.

4. Further lies involve economic policy and social welfare, such as government knowing educational needs better than parents and central banks printing prosperity. The text questions the notion that government bureaucrats know a child's educational needs better than parents, and that a government-created central bank can print its way to prosperity without negative consequences.

5. The government is accused of lying about foreign intervention and the source of individual rights. The article states that the US government lies by claiming justification for intervening worldwide as an exceptional force for justice, and by asserting that government is the source of rights that it can restrict at will.

IV. Three Choices, None Good by Charles Hugh Smith

1. Human behavior, rooted in "Wetware 1.0" (ancient human coding), causes societies to repeat mistakes, including accumulating unsustainable debt. The author contends that humans make "the same mistakes and follow the same emotional pathways as individuals and as groups". This has led the U.S. to a "current predicament" of living on debt, with the federal debt reaching $36 trillion, a fourfold increase since 2008.

2. The U.S. has squandered its economic surplus on "moral rot," necessitating massive borrowing. Instead of productive investment or savings, the economy's primary surplus has been "invested" in "unproductive frauds, skims, scams, monopolies, cartels, regulatory capture, grift and graft".

3. The country's profligate lifestyle is sustained by "parabolic debt" because politicians avoid "hard choices" to ensure re-election. Since borrowing "a few 'free' trillions a year" can get politicians re-elected, programs become "third rail" politically, making cuts unpopular.

4. There are three unappealing options to address the nation's debt addiction: default, inflation, or a "cold turkey" approach. These choices are to "Run the debt up to the point that nobody is dumb enough to lend us more, and then default on the debt," "Inflate the debt away with sustained high inflation," or "root out all the moral rot that’s consuming the economy’s surplus and our future".

5. Defaulting on the debt is improbable because it would eliminate the assets and income streams of the wealthy elite who control the status quo. The wealthy, who own U.S. Treasuries, are "unlikely to be thrilled with debt jubilees that zero out their assets and income or messy defaults that end up doing the same thing".

6. Inflating the debt away, while seemingly easy, devalues trust and disproportionately impoverishes the middle and working classes. This method, likened to reducing the silver content of coinage, "devalues trust in the leadership, social contract and the future," and its "inflation tax" is distributed unfairly, causing the middle and working classes to "melde into a single class, the impoverished".

7. The "Cold Turkey" option requires dismantling corrupt systems and old programs, then rebuilding fiscally responsible ones. This would involve rooting out all the "moral rot" and scrapping programs from fifty years ago (like defense, Social Security, Medicare, and higher education) to start anew with expenses limited to the economy's generated surplus.

V. _Trump Pledges to “Bomb the S* Out of Moscow And Beijing”_ by g.calderon**

1. A recording has surfaced in which Donald Trump allegedly threatened to "bomb the s* out of Moscow" and "bomb the s*** out of Beijing" in private remarks to donors.** The audio, published by CNN and cited by Washington Post journalists, reportedly captures Trump telling donors he warned Putin about invading Ukraine and President Xi about going into Taiwan. These comments were made during a private event in 2024 and were "seemingly not intended to be official diplomatic remarks".

2. The authenticity of the recording is debated, with the Kremlin expressing skepticism. CNN confirmed the recording's existence and journalists claim it has been vetted and verified as genuine, but Russian spokesperson Dmitry Peskov called it "unclear whether the report is fake," and China has not commented.

3. The alleged threats are considered some of the most aggressive foreign policy statements ever made by a U.S. President. The fact that they were allegedly made to political donors rather than foreign leaders or military officials adds another layer of controversy.

4. Trump's unpredictability and these remarks are viewed differently by supporters and critics. Supporters argue the comments show strength and reinforce Trump's "deterrence doctrine" to prevent conflict, while critics contend they are "reckless, undiplomatic, and risk unnecessary escalation with foreign leaders".

5. The leak of these comments occurs at a "fragile geopolitical moment." The ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and increasing Chinese pressure on Taiwan are highlighted as existing international tensions that could be fueled by these revelations.

6. Historical parallels include Reagan's off-mic joke and Nixon's "madman strategy," both of which had mixed outcomes. Reagan once joked about bombing Russia, which the Soviet Union deemed "unprecedentedly hostile". Nixon's strategy aimed to deter adversaries by appearing irrational enough to use nuclear weapons, but its effectiveness is debated, with critics arguing it heightened tensions.

7. The article suggests that such bold statements could escalate the very threats they aim to deter. The author concludes that "in today’s age of perception driving action, it’s possible that statements as bold as these could escalate the very threats they aim to deter".

VI. Trump Terrified by BRICS Strategic Threat by Pepe Escobar

1. BRICS is now perceived as a serious strategic and "existential challenge" to the unilateral domination of the current international system by the "Empire of Chaos" (implicitly, the U.S. and its allies). The ruling classes and the "Circus Ringmaster" (Trump) have realized that BRICS is testing models to bypass the U.S. dollar and the Bretton Woods institutions. The 2025 Rio declaration explicitly states that BRICS is a "systemic alternative" that will "write the rules of the new system our way".

2. The new BRICS system is fundamentally about sovereignty, equality, and fairness, with a focus on continental-wide economic integration and de-dollarization. Key elements include trade in national currencies, an expanded role for new global financial institutions like the NDB (the BRICS bank), and platforms for sustainable development.

3. Trump is accused of unleashing "Full War on BRICS and its partners" through threats and tariffs, specifically targeting Brazil. This is exemplified by a letter threatening 50% tariffs on all Made in Brazil products, despite the U.S. having a trade surplus with Brazil.

4. Trump's tariff actions are interpreted as "crass foreign interference" in other nations' domestic politics. The tariff threat against Brazil is linked to an attempt to influence Brazil's upcoming presidential race and the legal prosecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro.

5. Brazil's President Lula has responded to the tariffs by seeking "other partners," recognizing the U.S. trade is not vital. Lula stated, "Brazil’s trade with the U.S. makes up just 1.7% of our GDP. You can’t call these figures vital (…) We will look for other partners".

6. China and Russia view Trump's "Trump Tariff Temper Tantrum" as a "spectacular opportunity" to accelerate the undermining of U.S. trade and currency systems. Both nations, already under sanctions, see this as pushing the "full de-dollarization" agenda.

7. The "war on BRICS" is escalating, with a perceived intent to target any nation that aligns with "anti-American" BRICS. A Sri Lanka viewpoint notes that Trump has "effectively unionized every exporter in the world against American importers," solidifying the collective drive towards the BRICS project.

VII. Trump’s Epstein Problem by Dr. Joseph Sansone

1. President Trump's public statements and actions regarding Jeffrey Epstein are widely criticized as an "outrage," "out of touch deflection," and "massive deception." Trump expressed bewilderment that the Epstein matter was still being discussed, while Attorney General Pam Bondi contradicted her earlier claim of having a client list by stating there was "nothing to see here". This shifting narrative is seen as a "shameless 180-degree unexplained pivot" that "nobody believes," especially Trump's supporters.

2. Trump is accused of breaking promises made to his base, including on issues like the JFK assassination, 9/11, and mRNA injections. The article states he failed to reveal truth on JFK and 9/11, did not stop mRNA bioweapon injections, broke his "peace President" promise by starting a war with Iran, and is pushing "Orwellian digital database" and Real ID.

3. Trump's prior friendship with Epstein and the administration's perceived cover-up raise serious questions of blackmail, protection of friends, or foreign influence. The author posits that it is a fair question to ask if Trump is being blackmailed or covering up for a foreign nation like Israel, given Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's father's alleged Mossad connections.

4. Attorney Alan Dershowitz's public statements are seen as confirming the existence of an Epstein client list, implying a cover-up by the Trump administration. Dershowitz, a former Epstein attorney and Trump friend, claims to know names on the list but cites privilege, which the author interprets as revealing the administration is protecting "powerful people in politics, media, academia, and business".

5. The author suggests that revealing the Epstein client list, though disruptive, would be beneficial for Americans. It "may take many powerful people down and disrupt society," but "may actually be a good thing for Americans to realize that the people on both sides of the aisle are creeps".

6. The Trump administration's actions, particularly concerning Epstein and mRNA injections for children, are attributed to an "allegiance to evil." The author states there are "no reasonable or rational explanations for this other than an allegiance to evil," equating it to "child sacrifice".

7. The perceived cover-up constitutes an "Epstein problem" for Trump, threatening to erode trust and influence the 2028 Republican nomination. The article warns that if the client list is not revealed, trust in the administration "will erode like quicksand," compelling activists to "look outside the Trump administration for a candidate to win the Republican nomination in 2028".

VIII. UK Attempt to Name Non-Violent, Anti-Genocide Group as ‘Terrorist’ Is Challenged in Court by Craig Murray

1. Palestine Action, a non-violent, anti-genocide protest group, is challenging its proscription as a terrorist organization by the UK government in court. Huda Ammori, a co-founder, sought judicial review of the order, arguing it is unprecedented for a non-violent civil disobedience group. This proscription is described as "ill-considered, discriminatory, authoritarian law".

2. The legal definition of "terrorism" in the Terrorism Act 2000 is criticized as "overbroad," leading to severe penalties for even appearing to support a proscribed group. The Act allows up to 14 years in prison for "appearing to" support or being "reckless" as to whether one says something that may cause support for such an organization.

3. Five UN Special Rapporteurs formally opposed the proscription, citing the overbreadth of UK terrorism legislation. They identified fundamental flaws in the definitions of terrorism, terrorist organizations, and support for such, resulting in "deprivation of liberty characteristic of an authoritarian state".

4. Palestine Action's tactics are compared to historical civil disobedience movements, emphasizing their non-violent nature against the arms industry. Andrew Feinstein testified that anti-apartheid activists, including Nelson Mandela, used similar direct action methods and were deemed terrorists by the British state. Palestine Action's actions target Elbit, an Israeli state-owned enterprise, and do not involve violence or injury to persons.

5. The UK government consulted with the Israeli government and Elbit Systems in deciding on the proscription, but not pro-Palestinian groups, raising concerns about undue foreign influence. Raza Husain KC argued that Israel's interference in UK domestic criminal law was unconstitutional, especially in deciding if an organization is "terrorist".

6. The proscription creates a chilling effect on free speech and protest, criminalizing acts previously considered lawful. It makes it an offense to belong to, encourage support for, or arrange meetings for Palestine Action, carrying long prison sentences, and wearing associated symbols can lead to imprisonment.

7. The legal proceedings were observed as a "charade," with judgments seemingly pre-written and the process lacking genuine deliberation. The author describes Judge Chamberlain's swift delivery of a detailed, 24-page judgment and the Court of Appeal's quick verdict as evidence that "the bulk of it was written before the hearing – or written by somebody else".

8. The Court of Appeal refused to grant interim relief, arguing that "irreversible harm" was not demonstrated, despite the potential for mass arrests and criminalization of free speech. While acknowledging arguable grounds regarding disproportionate interference with ECHR rights, the court concluded that the claimant failed to prove irreparable harm if the proscription was not suspended immediately.

9. The government's counsel openly admitted the proscription was "Draconian: and deliberately so," highlighting the severe nature of the new law. Ben Watson KC, representing the Secretary of State, made this explicit statement in court.

10. The ongoing situation in Gaza, described as "annihilation and genocide," provides critical context for Palestine Action's efforts. The UN Secretary General has called the situation a "stain on our common humanity," with firm evidence of daily massacres of Palestinians trying to obtain food.

IX. We are Doomed if Trump Refuses to Terminate Criminal Enterprise in Government! by Andrew Wallace

1. The author posits that approximately half of the U.S. Federal Government's programs, functions, and departments are unconstitutional and constitute a "Criminal Enterprise." These activities are deemed "Null and Void" because they are not authorized by the Constitution's Enumerated Powers and are "rife with theft and corruption". The author believes President Trump has the power to eliminate these via executive orders.

2. Elected officials and bureaucrats are alleged to be beholden to a "Parasitic Super-Rich Ruling Class (PSRRC) and their Jewish Lobby," disregarding the will of the people. This influence means that "What the people want is of no consequence to them".

3. Both Democratic and Republican elected officials are characterized as corrupt, with Democrats labeled "Communists" and many Republicans secretly opposing Trump and America. The author states that "Most elected officials in both parties are corrupted".

4. Major media outlets are assumed to be owned or controlled by "Communists AKA Democrats.".

5. Major cities are seen as "Communist" and financially unsustainable without unconstitutional federal support, potentially leading to civil war. The continuation of this support is predicted to lead to civil war, as "Patriots will not work and sacrifice to support Communists who don’t work".

6. The Federal Establishment has unlawfully usurped countless state functions through income tax money, reversing the Constitutional roles of federal and sovereign states. This usurpation, the author argues, prevents a "Constitutional Republic nor prosperity for the people".

7. The author rejects "national security" justifications for foreign troop deployment or aid, arguing that the U.S. can only be defeated internally. Any deployment or foreign aid is deemed unconstitutional without a "mandatory Declaration of War," and officials authorizing such actions should be prosecuted.

8. Illegal invaders must be deported swiftly to prevent America's destruction and its transformation into a "one-party Communist country." The presence of over 30 million illegals by the 2030 census is projected to determine Congressional representation, leading to a single-party communist state.

9. The FBI and CIA are deemed beyond reform and should be disbanded. The author states, "Frankly, I think reform is impossible".

10. The "Parasitic Super-Rich Ruling Class" will actively resist Trump's efforts to terminate their profitable, unlawful activities like foreign aid and wars. This "Deep State, Swamp, or Establishment" will do "anything to stop Trump’s terminations".

11. Failure to terminate these unconstitutional programs will make it financially impossible to restore prosperity and a Constitutional Republic. The author believes that "Economic Realities are absolute proof that this country cannot survive with Trump’s plans alone" without these terminations.

12. The author acknowledges the high risk of assassination attempts against President Trump if he pursues these reforms. It is alleged that the Kennedy Brothers were killed for "much less," but if Trump succeeds, he "will go down in history as our greatest President".

X. Why We Should All Be Holocaust Deniers by Jorge Besada

1. The author argues that questioning the mainstream Holocaust narrative should not be a criminal act, despite being outlawed in 26 countries, viewing such laws as an "error and injustice." The mainstream narrative centers on a "maniacal Hitler attempting to eradicate Jewry primarily via gas chambers". The author emphasizes that freedom of speech and "competitive knowledge discovery" are vital for discovering truth, and laws criminalizing speech destroy this process.

2. The post-WWII Nuremberg Trials are described as having introduced "obviously fabricated 'evidence'" and "absurd-fabricated methods" of killing. Andrey Vyshinsky, who oversaw Stalin's "Show Trials," led the Soviet delegation and presented claims of killings via steam chambers, electrical chambers, and other implausible methods.

3. Official victim numbers for Auschwitz have been significantly revised downward after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The estimated deaths were initially 4 million, then revised to 1.5 million, and later to 1.1 million, with similar "large downward revisions" for other alleged extermination camps.

4. The persecution of individuals like Germar Rudolf for questioning the Holocaust narrative highlights the suppression of dissenting views. Rudolf was jailed for his chemical analysis of alleged Auschwitz gas chambers, and in his trial, the court refused to "question the self-evidence of the Holocaust," despite evidence presented.

5. Holocaust Denial laws are considered a "grotesque violation" of freedom of speech and a characteristic of an "authoritarian state." These laws are enforced with "Bolshevik-Stalinist fervor" and contradict Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

6. The author disputes the common belief that "Jewish Power" or a "grand malicious conspiracy" solely orchestrated the Holocaust narrative. He argues that the "vengeful exaggerations-fabrications-errors-lies" were "overwhelmingly put together, not by Jews, but by understandably vengeful Soviets like Vyshinsky and Polish Communists, none of which were Jewish".

7. Accusing "the Jews" as a group of plotting the mainstream Holocaust narrative is dismissed as "yet another anti-Jewish trope." This is likened to blaming Jews for historical events like the Black Plague, Socialism, and Capitalism.

8. The "Holocaust" is characterized as a "new, secular religion" with "astonishing power to command worship," used to justify various agendas. Paul Eisen states that the narrative's "iconic gas-chambers and magical six million" are used to make the Holocaust "special but also sacred," comprising a "holy Holocaust which Jews, Zionists and others worship".

9. The author calls for individuals to publicly "deny the Holocaust" as a means of fighting for freedom and exposing underlying fallacies. He encourages this action "regardless of how one sees things," believing that if "enough of us do it, and use the publicity in a wise manner, we will help overcome the fallacies that lead to such misguided-barbaric laws and their emerging horrible police states".

10. Individuals who bravely challenge the narrative despite persecution are hailed as heroes. The author recognizes Germar Rudolf, Wolfgang Fröhlich, Ernst Zündel, and Ursula Haverbeck, who faced imprisonment for their views, as "heroes and a shameful reminder of the ignorance, negligence, incompetence and cowardice" of others.

XI. Worst Handled Issue in My Lifetime by Tom Woods

1. Donald Trump has publicly expressed impatience and bewilderment regarding the ongoing discussion of the Jeffrey Epstein matter, a stance that has drawn significant criticism from his base. In a Truth Social post, Trump questioned why people were "still talking about this guy" and defended Attorney General Pam Bondi, who he said was "doing a FANTASTIC JOB!". This post was notably "ratioed" on his own platform, indicating strong negative sentiment.

2. Attorney General Pam Bondi's contradictory statements regarding the existence of an Epstein client list have fueled public distrust and accusations of a "shameless 180-degree unexplained pivot." Bondi initially stated she had the client list "on her desk" and the White House made a "big show" of providing "Epstein Files: Phase 1" binders to influencers, but now the narrative from the administration is that there is "no list and we should stop talking about it".

3. Kash Patel, a Trump ally, is also facing criticism for dismissing the Epstein discussions as "conspiracy theories," a term typically used by the left. His use of this dismissive language has been poorly received by the public.

4. There was previously "unanimous agreement" that Epstein was a pedophile and child sex trafficker with high-profile clientele who needed to be exposed. The article highlights that this consensus was widespread before the recent shift in the administration's narrative.

5. The sudden change in the administration's stance on the Epstein case is widely perceived as "obvious bullshit" and a lack of transparency. Matt Walsh articulates the public's frustration, stating, "We’re Americans. We don’t accept obvious bullshit from our political leaders. And we don’t move on from a topic just because we’ve been instructed to do so".

6. The Epstein issue is characterized as "screwy" and is unlikely to be suppressed despite calls to "shut up already." The author concludes that "something is obviously screwy here" and that attempts to dismiss the topic will not succeed.

welcome to the lenny and Maria sanchez deep dive podcast show.

Today, we delve into a collection of recent articles, exploring key perspectives on geopolitical shifts, domestic tensions, government transparency, and economic challenges.

First, let's turn to "By the Numbers — Western Propaganda on Russian Losses". This source challenges the prevalent Western media narrative regarding massive Russian losses in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, suggesting it is a form of propaganda. It argues that a basic analysis of available data, such as social media images of funerals and graveyards, implies disproportionately higher Ukrainian casualties compared to Russian losses. The article attributes this disparity to Russia's overwhelming advantage in firepower, specifically citing its greater production and import of artillery shells and drones. For instance, Russia's firing rate of artillery shells significantly outpaces Ukraine's, leading to a 5-10:1 disparity in some sectors in 2024, which grew to a 23:1 disadvantage for Ukraine in 2025. Furthermore, Russia is noted to have key advantages in drone usage, including superior production volume, massive barrage capabilities that overwhelm Ukrainian air defenses, and technological adaptations like fiber-optic cable-guided drones that resist electronic jamming. Russia's foreign partnerships with Iran and China also provide a reliable influx of drones and components, sustaining high usage rates. The source concludes that Ukraine lacks an advantage in any weapon system, and Russia's air supremacy, hypersonic missiles, and combat aircraft further contribute to Ukrainian losses significantly outweighing any inflicted on Russian forces.

Next, we examine "Is America Sliding Inexorably Towards Its Breakup?". This piece highlights a concerning escalation of domestic tensions within the United States, suggesting a potential trajectory toward a national breakup. The article points to specific incidents as evidence of this spiraling situation, beginning with the arrest of Democratic Senator Alex Padilla during a Department of Homeland Security speaking event in Los Angeles on June 12. This event occurred amidst protests against federal immigration raids, and Padilla's forcible removal and handcuffing provoked California Governor Gavin Newsom to label the Trump Administration as "tyrannical". The same day also saw a federal judge rule against President Trump's federalization of the California National Guard, ordering its return to state control, a ruling that was later overturned by another judge. The source notes that Trump signaled a willingness to expand federalization orders and possibly deploy U.S. Marines to other urban areas, leading to anger from Democratic Governors. The deployment of U.S. Marines to Los Angeles and their temporary detention of a civilian further underscored the contentious use of active-duty military in a policing role. Finally, the assassination of a Minnesota State House majority leader and her husband, linked to a political manifesto and a "hit list," is presented as an act of "targeted political violence," contributing to the perception that America is on a "political knife edge".

Moving on, we consider "Mistrusting Government About Epstein and More". This source passionately argues for the necessity of widespread skepticism toward government officials, asserting a fundamental premise: "all governments lie, and the more important the issue the bigger the lie". The Jeffrey Epstein case is presented as a prime example of this alleged governmental deception. The author criticizes the Department of Justice's statement that Epstein did not maintain a "client list" and that he committed suicide, especially given Attorney General Pam Bondi's earlier public remarks about having such a list on her desk. This shift is deemed an "outrage" that is not believed by the public, including Trump's own supporters. The article contends that exposing these lies is critical for restoring liberty and that increasing public mistrust creates an opportunity for the "liberty movement". It enumerates several "lies" that are said to form the foundation of the modern state, including moral prohibitions not applying to government, regulations protecting consumers, government bureaucracies being the best way to help the poor, and government knowing a child's educational needs better than parents. Other alleged lies include the justification for U.S. intervention abroad, the moral authority to override personal health choices, the nature of foreign aid, the economic effects of a central bank, and the source and modifiability of rights.

Our fourth article, "Three Choices, None Good", delves into the severe economic predicament facing the United States, primarily driven by unsustainable levels of debt. The source highlights the federal debt reaching $36 trillion, a fourfold increase since 2008, alongside significant increases in total public and private debt, and spiraling costs for programs like Medicare and Medicaid, which now constitute one-third of the federal budget. The article asserts that the U.S. has squandered its economic surplus on "moral rot," which it defines as unproductive frauds, scams, monopolies, cartels, regulatory capture, graft, and cronyism. This squandering, it argues, necessitates borrowing trillions annually to fund public demands and political promises. The piece then outlines three undesirable choices to address this debt addiction: first, defaulting on the debt, which would wipe out creditors, primarily the wealthy who largely control the status quo, making this option unlikely; second, inflating the debt away through sustained high inflation, a step already taken, but which risks devaluing trust in leadership and society, leading to the impoverishment of the middle and working classes as the "inflation tax" is disproportionately distributed; and third, going "cold turkey" on debt addiction by eradicating the "moral rot" and overhauling or replacing old programs like defense, Social Security, Medicare, and higher education, limiting expenses to what the economy can actually generate as a surplus.

Next, we cover the report "Trump Pledges to “Bomb the S* Out of Moscow And Beijing”". This source presents an audio recording, publicized by CNN and cited by Washington Post journalists, in which Donald Trump purportedly threatens military action against Russia and China. In the recording, Trump is allegedly heard telling campaign donors in 2024 that he warned Vladimir Putin, "if you go into Ukraine, I’m going to bomb the s* out of Moscow," and told President Xi of China, "if you go into Taiwan, I’m gonna bomb the s*** out of Beijing". These comments, while made at a private event, are described as a window into Trump's "deterrence doctrine," characterized by unpredictability and theatricality. While the Kremlin expressed uncertainty about the recording's authenticity, CNN and the acquiring journalists reportedly verified it. The source points out that such aggressive and direct foreign policy threats, if genuine, are significant and come at a "fragile geopolitical moment," risking "unnecessary escalation" amidst ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and increasing Chinese pressure on Taiwan. The article draws parallels between Trump's style and past presidential approaches, such as Ronald Reagan's off-mic joke about bombing Russia and Richard Nixon's "madman strategy," both of which aimed to deter adversaries but had debated effectiveness and potential for heightened tensions.

Our sixth source is "Trump Terrified by BRICS Strategic Threat". This article posits that BRICS—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—represents a significant strategic and existential threat to the "Empire of Chaos," implying the United States and its current global dominance. The source asserts that BRICS is actively constructing a "Geopolitics of Sovereignty," emphasizing continental economic integration, trade in national currencies, the expansion of new global financial institutions like the New Development Bank (NDB), and platforms for sustainable development. The article claims that Western powers, particularly the U.S., have recognized this threat and have responded with measures like the "Trump Tariff Temper Tantrum" (TTT). An example provided is the threatened 50% tariffs on all Made in Brazil products exported to the U.S., which the source interprets as "crass foreign interference" in Brazil's domestic politics rather than a genuine trade issue, especially given the existing U.S. trade surplus with Brazil. The author suggests that these aggressive actions by the U.S. are inadvertently uniting exporters globally against American importers, thereby accelerating the BRICS project's goal of "full de-dollarization". The piece concludes that BRICS and the wider Global South recognize that continued efforts to undermine them will only push them "full steam ahead" with their project.

Next, we look at "Trump’s Epstein Problem". This article critiques the Trump administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, specifically labeling its public statements as an "outrage" and an "out of touch deflection". It highlights President Trump's apparent impatience with continued discussion of the Epstein matter and his defense of Attorney General Pam Bondi, despite her seemingly contradictory statements. Bondi had previously claimed to have an "Epstein client list" on her desk but later stated there was no such list, with the Department of Justice concluding Epstein committed suicide despite an independent autopsy suggesting murder. The author argues that this "shameless 180-degree unexplained pivot" from the administration is highly disturbing and undermines public trust. The article suggests that Trump's prior friendship with Epstein, along with allegations that Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's father were Mossad agents, raises serious questions about whether Trump is being blackmailed or covering for friends or foreign nations. The author asserts that this perceived "cover-up" will erode trust in the Trump administration across all areas and could lead activists to seek alternative candidates for future nominations.

Our eighth discussion point is "UK Attempt to Name Non-Violent, Anti-Genocide Group as ‘Terrorist’ Is Challenged in Court". This source details a significant legal challenge brought by Huda Ammori, a co-founder of Palestine Action, against the UK government's proscription of the group as a terrorist organization. The article emphasizes that this marks the first instance in UK legal history where a non-violent civil disobedience group has been legally designated as terrorist. Legal arguments in the case focused on the "overbroad" definitions of terrorism and support for a terrorist organization within the Terrorism Act 2000, which carries severe penalties up to 14 years imprisonment for merely appearing to support a proscribed group. Five UN Special Rapporteurs opposed the proscription, citing these fundamental flaws and highlighting that the deprivation of liberty resulting from such laws is characteristic of an "authoritarian state". A key contention was the alleged consultation between the UK government, the Israeli government, and Elbit Systems during the decision-making process for proscription, which the claimant's lawyers argued was unconstitutional interference in UK domestic criminal law. The case highlighted concerns about "irreparable harm" to fundamental rights, including freedom of speech and assembly, warning of a "chilling effect" that could criminalize otherwise lawful actions of law-abiding people supporting Palestine. Despite these arguments, the court refused to grant interim relief to suspend the proscription, a decision viewed by the author as a "further step into authoritarianism".

We now turn to "We are Doomed if Trump Refuses to Terminate Criminal Enterprise in Government!". This article presents a stark warning that the United States is "doomed" unless President Trump takes decisive action to dismantle what it describes as a "Criminal Enterprise in Government". The author estimates that approximately half of the Federal Government's programs, functions, and departments are unconstitutional, rendering them "Null and Void and a Criminal Enterprise" due to a lack of authorization by the Constitution's Enumerated Powers and being "rife with theft and corruption". The core argument is that these unlawful activities, including foreign aid and wars conducted "for profit," must be eliminated immediately by President Trump through executive orders. The source claims that elected officials and bureaucrats of the "Administrative State" receive orders and bribes from a "Parasitic Super-Rich Ruling Class" and their "Jewish Lobby". It further asserts that most media is controlled by "Communists AKA Democrats," and that major cities are "Communist" and reliant on unconstitutional federal financial support, which if continued, will lead to civil war. The article highlights the perceived threat from an "army of illegal invaders," estimating more than 30 million, who must be deported rapidly to prevent the U.S. from becoming a "one-party Communist country" by the 2030 census. The FBI and CIA are also singled out as needing reform or disbandment, with reform deemed "impossible".

Moving to "Why We Should All Be Holocaust Deniers", this source argues for the importance of questioning the mainstream Holocaust narrative and challenges laws that criminalize such questioning in 26 countries, describing them as "an error and injustice" that stifle freedom of speech and "competitive knowledge discovery". The author points to inconsistencies in the official narrative, such as the significant downward revisions of the estimated death toll at Auschwitz from 4 million to 1.1 million, and notes that other alleged extermination camps have undergone similar revisions. It provides examples of individuals, like chemist Germar Rudolf, who have been persecuted and imprisoned for their skepticism and chemical analyses challenging the mass-gassing narrative. The article asserts that the claim of "Jewish Power" being the primary force behind Holocaust denial laws is a "naive" and "erroneous" belief. Instead, it suggests that the core of the "mainstream narrative-story-myth" was "overwhelmingly put together" by "understandably vengeful Soviets like Vyshinsky and Polish Communists," none of whom were Jewish. The source advocates for denying the mainstream Holocaust narrative as a form of "heroic intellectual effort" and a necessary fight for freedom against "draconian laws" and the emergence of "horrible police states". It argues that true civilization and the discovery of truth can only be sustained by freedom and the competition of ideas, which these laws suppress.

Finally, we address "Worst Handled Issue in My Lifetime". This article focuses on the significant public and media frustration surrounding the Trump administration's inconsistent and shifting stance on the Jeffrey Epstein case. It highlights President Trump's publicly expressed "impatience, even bewilderment," with continued discussions about Jeffrey Epstein, despite earlier promises and actions by his administration that suggested more information would be revealed. The piece specifically points to Attorney General Pam Bondi's earlier statement about having a "client list on her desk" and the White House making a "big show of giving binders marked 'Epstein Files: Phase 1' to a bunch of influencers". The author notes that these actions contradict later claims that "there is no list and we should stop talking about it". The article criticizes the administration and figures like Kash Patel for dismissing public concerns as "conspiracy theories," a term typically used by the political left, despite their own prior indications of significant Epstein files. The central argument is that this "shameless 180-degree unexplained pivot" is seen as "obvious bullshit" that Americans should not accept from their political leaders, and that the public will not simply "move on from a topic just because we’ve been instructed to do so".

Fish Wedges: SCOTUS, DOJ, Epstein, Floods, and Transgender Politics

1 source

This article from "Coffee & Covid 2025" offers a conservative perspective on current events, blending news updates with commentary. It highlights President Trump's legal victories at the Supreme Court, particularly regarding the Department of Education, and discusses Attorney General Bondi's ongoing purge of DOJ lawyers. The piece also examines Democrats' sudden demand for Epstein files, framing it as a political maneuver, and notes recent severe flooding in New York City. Finally, the author points to a shift in public and media discourse surrounding transgender issues, suggesting a weakening of the Democrat coalition.

Please note: The provided source, while detailed, primarily focuses on six main topics as indicated by its subtitle. I have broken down these main topics into as many distinct and important key takeaway points as possible, extracting specific details and implications to provide a comprehensive response. However, the source material does not contain 30 separate major key takeaway points without significant rephrasing of minor details, which would dilute the "most important" criteria. I have provided 15 key takeaway points, which represent the most significant and distinct elements from the text.

Here are the most important key takeaway points from the sources, formatted as requested:

1. ☕️ FISH WEDGES ☙ Tuesday, July 15, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠 Jeff Childers The C&C Army successfully executed another "multiplier operation" that led to a significant increase in donations for Dr. Moore.
   
   

   • "When we began yesterday, Dr. Moore’s GiveSendGo stood around $145,000".

   • "This morning, it had skyrocketed to $436,321, and the donation history is a beautiful scrolling list of amounts ending in a ‘2’".

2. The Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has issued another ruling favorable to President Trump, allowing him to continue efforts to significantly restructure the Department of Education.
   
   

   • "Yesterday, SCOTUS lifted a lower-court injunction against the Trump administration's efforts to “gut” the Department of Education".

   • This decision allows for "mass firings that, starting in March, already slashed nearly half of the agency's workforce, plus other great stuff like reassigning the federal student loan portfolio to the SBA and ending billions in state subsidies".

3. SCOTUS appears to be aligned with Trump’s Unitary Executive Theory, indicating a pattern of granting the Chief Executive sole authority over the Executive Branch.
   
   

   • "SCOTUS, not yet having said so explicitly, seems aligned with Trump’s Unitary Executive Theory, which posits that the Constitution gives the Chief Executive sole authority over the Executive Branch, even if Congress tries to set up guardrails, rules, or limits".

   • This alignment is inferred from the current decision combined with a previous one allowing mass layoffs in other federal agencies.

4. Attorney General Pam Bondi is continuing a "purge" of the Department of Justice (DOJ), including the termination of career officials.
   
   

   • "Yesterday, Bloomberg ran an encouraging story about our embattled Attorney General headlined, “Bondi Fires Her Personal Ethics Chief as DOJ Purge Continues”".

   • The source describes this as a "classic binge of purges".

5. Joseph Tirrell, a senior ethics attorney at the DOJ, was fired, with speculation linking his termination to his past ethical supervision of "special prosecutor" Jack Smith.
   
   

   • "Joseph Tirrell, a 20-year DOJ careerist, got the bad news Friday in the form of a short, pink-slipped letter saying curtly, 'your employment with the Department of Justice is hereby terminated, and you are removed from federal service effective immediately'".

   • "Longtime DOJ watchers pointed out that Mr. Tirrell had ethically supervised ‘special prosecutor’ Jack Smith while that unpleasant individual was relentlessly persecuting President Trump".

6. House Democrats are now demanding the release of the Epstein files, attempting to use this issue to create a political "wedge".
   
   

   • "Yesterday, House Democrats filed a proposed amendment to a cryptocurrency bill that would have forced the DOJ to release the Epstein files".

   • Representative Ro Khanna (D-Ca.) framed the issue with, "The question with Epstein is: Whose side are you on?".

7. Democrats anticipated Republicans blocking the Epstein file release and plan to "gleefully" use this outcome as a "wedge issue" against President Trump and Republicans.
   
   

   • House Republicans predictably shot down the proposal, which Axios stated "was the outcome Democrats anticipated, and one they plan to gleefully cite".

   • This is viewed as "the wedge issue they’ve been waiting for" to divide and demoralize the population.

8. The Democrats' current demand for Epstein files marks a significant political shift, as they previously dismissed such speculation as "QAnon dogwhistle".
   
   

   • "These are the same folks who just two years ago called Epstein speculation a QAnon dogwhistle and dismissed the entire subject as right-wing paranoia".

   • The source notes it will take "spectacular mental gymnastics" for Democrat elites to get their base on board with this new stance.

9. The Northeast, particularly New York City, experienced unprecedented and unforecasted flash flooding, leading to severe disruptions.
   
   

   • "Yesterday, large parts of the Northeast were drenched in over seven inches in under five hours— more than a month’s worth of rain dumped in a single evening".

   • "Subway stations became geysers, manhole covers blew off, transit stations were submerged, and the MTA offered the weak excuse —again— that its infrastructure wasn’t built for this 'new climate reality'".

10. The extreme weather events, including the NYC floods, suggest a "planetary breakdown of predictive systems" and institutional credibility regarding climate events.
    
    

    • The New York Times article, when closely examined, included a "global roundup" of recent flash flooding disasters beyond New York, implying a broader issue.

    • This points to "a world left unprepared by its captured experts for the arrival of a radically shifting climate," and suggests that meteorological models trusted for centuries are "getting stale".

11. The New York Times has acknowledged that Democrats have alienated voters on transgender rights, admitting that winning them back "won’t be easy".
    
    

    • "Yesterday, the New York Times ran a remarkable story headlined, “Democrats Lost Voters on Transgender Rights. Winning Them Back Won’t Be Easy”".

    • This represents a "complete reversal for the Times," which previously published headlines about Republicans "erasing" trans people.

12. Democratic strategists now admit that "relentless Republican attacks" on transgender issues were effective in fracturing their coalition.
    
    

    • "Party strategists now admit the 'relentless Republican attacks' worked".

    • "Democratic strategists believe that these attacks did have an impact,' the Times finally admitted".

13. The Democrats' approach to transgender politics, driven by "purity spiral" and "activist orthodoxy," led to alienating a broader electorate.
    
    

    • Former Biden campaign manager Greg Schultz conceded, "We try so hard to represent everybody,' we alienate everybody'".

    • The party "got sucked into a purity spiral, elevating ever-narrower litmus tests enforced by activists with more Twitter followers than constituents".

14. Trump successfully utilized the transgender issue as a "wedge" to fracture the Democrats’ coalition along its weakest fault line: the gap between activist absolutism and parental protective instincts.
    
    

    • "Trump didn’t need to make the trans issue the centerpiece of his campaign; he just needed it to function as a wedge. And it did—spectacularly".

    • His "they/them" ad appealed to "forgotten voters, watching Democrats champion yet another niche cause while our eggs and gas spiked, our kids floundered, and the country drifted deeper into purple-hued, immigrant-overrun chaos".

15. The "trans reckoning" is no longer approaching but is already present, marking a significant cultural shift and potentially allowing centrist Democrats to adopt more moderate positions.
    
    

    • "The trans reckoning is no longer coming. It’s here".

    • This admission by the Times is seen as a "new permission structure intended to give centrist Democrats a chance to oppose boys playing in girls’ sports".

Rothschilds: Unveiling the True Global Power Brokers

1 source

The Exposé article, "Who is the head of the Rothschilds, and are they Jewish?", examines the Rothschild family's influence on global events and addresses the conspiracy theories surrounding their alleged Jewish origins. The article references Gary Allen's book, 'None Dare Call It Conspiracy,' and C.F. Parker's 'A Short Study of Esau-Edom In Jewry,' to discuss the Rothschilds' role in a perceived "world system of financial control" and to challenge the notion of a monolithic "Jewish conspiracy." It further investigates the meaning of "Jew" and the historical claims of the Rothschilds' Jewish identity, asserting that the term "Jew" is primarily sociological and religious, not racial. The Exposé piece aims to redirect focus from a "Jewish conspiracy" narrative, suggesting it is a misleading "PsyOp," and instead identifies the current leadership of the Rothschild & Co. financial group.

Here are 30 key takeaway points from the sources, formatted as requested:

1. The Exposé's Mission and Challenges
   
   

   • ***Who is the head of the Rothschilds, and are they Jewish? - The Expose by Rhoda Wilson***

   • The Exposé "relies solely on your support to allow us to report the facts the mainstream refuse to".

   • "Your Government and Big Tech are actively trying to censor the information reported by The Exposé to serve their own needs".

2. Carroll Quigley's Historical Work
   
   

   • Carroll Quigley was an "American historian and theorist of the evolution of civilisations," known for his teaching at Georgetown University and his seminal work, 'Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time' (1965).

   • 'Tragedy and Hope' covers the period of "roughly 1880 to 1963" and "asserted that a secret society initially led by Cecil Rhodes, Alfred Milner and others had considerable influence over British and American foreign policy in the first half of the twentieth century".

3. Gary Allen's Commentary on Quigley's Revelations
   
   

   • Gary Allen's 1972 book 'None Dare Call It Conspiracy' was written to "discuss the revelations in Quigley’s ‘Tragedy and Hope’".

   • Allen quoted Quigley, who stated: "I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960s, to examine its papers and secret records".

4. Quigley's Ambivalent Stance Towards the Network
   
   

   • Professor Quigley explicitly stated: "I HAVE NO AVERSION TO IT OR TO MOST OF ITS AIMS AND HAVE, FOR MUCH OF MY LIFE, BEEN CLOSE TO IT AND TO MANY OF ITS INSTRUMENTS".

   • He clarified that his "chief difference of opinion is that IT WISHES TO REMAIN UNKNOWN, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known".

5. The Network's Global Control Ambitions
   
   

   • The network's aim is "nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole".

   • Gary Allen emphatically disagreed with this aim, asserting that "this power mad clique wants to control and rule the world" and "total control over all individual actions".

6. Control Over Individuals and Resources
   
   

   • Professor Quigley observed that an individual’s "freedom and choice will be controlled within very narrow alternatives by the fact that he will be numbered from birth and followed, as a number, through his educational training, his required military or other public service, his tax contributions, his health and medical requirements, and his final retirement and death benefits".

   • The conspirators "want control over all natural resources, business, banking and transportation by controlling the governments of the world".

7. Conspirators' Ruthless Methods
   
   

   • In order to accomplish their aims, "the conspirators have had no qualms about fomenting wars, depressions and hatred".

   • They desire "a monopoly which would eliminate all competitors and destroy the free enterprise system".

8. Anti-Jewish Rhetoric as a Conspiratorial PsyOp
   
   

   • The article suggests that "the anti-Jewish rhetoric is part of the conspirators’ plan" to distract people.

   • It argues that the "Jewish conspiracy theory prominent in Nazi Germany was a PsyOp," and that "today, too many have not learnt from history and have again been taken in by it".

9. Allen's Perspective on Rothschilds and Anti-Semitism
   
   

   • Gary Allen "acknowledges that the Rothschilds were Jewish and played an important role in the conspiracy discussed in his book".

   • However, he argued that "anti-Semites play into the hands of the conspiracy by portraying the entire conspiracy as Jewish, which is untrue".

10. Jews as Victims of the Conspiracy
    
    

    • According to Dr. Barney Finkel, Gary Allen's book aims to make Jewish people aware of forces that attempt to manipulate them, as they have historically been "the number one historical victims of the Communist Conspiracy".

13. International Bankers Controlling Both Sides of Conflict
    
    

    • Gary Allen explained that "these international bankers control both sides of a narrative or conflict".

    • He reasoned that if they "financed it and do not fear it, it must be because they control it".

14. Rothschilds' Strategy of Dual Control
    
    

    • Allen noted that "for over 150 years it has been standard operating procedure of the Rothschilds and their allies to control both sides of every conflict".

    • This strategy is necessary because "You must have an “enemy” if you are going to collect from the King".

15. Characteristics of Rothschild-Style International Bankers
    
    

    • Dr. Quigley described the Rothschilds and other major international bankers as "cosmopolitan and international".

    • They were also "close to governments and were particularly concerned with government debts, including foreign government debts".

    • Professor Quigley revealed that Lord Rosebery "replaced his father-in-law, Lord Rothschild, in Rhodes’ secret group and was made a Trustee under Rhodes’ next (and last) will".

20. Modern Rothschild Leadership (as observed by Allen)
    
    

    • Gary Allen noted Edmond and Guy de Rothschild as the leaders of the French Rothschild clan in his book.

    • Guy was described as "every inch a Rothschild" who "personifies much of what the family name stands for" and is "dedicated to enlarging the fortune of his bank".

21. Misdirection Regarding the Head of the Rothschilds
    
    

    • There is a "widely held belief that the English branch of the Rothschild family is the head of the family’s global operations," which the article calls an "erroneous belief".

    • According to C. F. Parker, Ashkenazi Jewry is comprised of "Judahite descent," "Idumean origin," and "proselytes (converts) of other origins," with unknown proportions.

26. "Jew" as a Sociological, Not Racial, Term
    
    

    • C.F. Parker stated that "It is wrong...to speak of modern Jews as a nation" because "Their nation was destroyed by Titus in AD 70 and has not been re-established".

    • Parker concludes that "The term “Jew” has no racial significance today. It is sociological, and bears reference to belief only".

27. Questioning the Rothschilds' Religious Devotion

    • John Coleman’s 1991 book 'Conspirators’ Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of 300' listed "Elie or Edmon de Rothschild and/or Baron Rothschild" as members of the Committee of 300.

30. The Author's View on Conspiratorial Puppets
    
    

    • The author, Rhoda Wilson, remarked that "imposters are everywhere, they put on whatever clothes they require to deceive the masses".

    • She states her current view is that Hitler "was one of their puppets, much like Zelensky is now," and that the "Hitler agenda/campaign/programme was one of their great successes".

Japan's COVID Vaccine Database: Unsettling Death Trends Revealed

1 source

The source, an article from The Exposé by Rhoda Wilson and "Aussie17," focuses on a recently released Japanese database concerning COVID-19 vaccination records for 21 million citizens. This data, obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests by two Japanese citizen groups, purportedly reveals a peak in deaths 90-120 days after mRNA vaccination, with higher doses correlating to earlier death peaks. The article highlights an online press conference where these findings were discussed by various speakers, including Professor Yasufumi Murakami, who estimates 600,000 to 610,000 post-vaccination deaths in Japan. Furthermore, the source discusses the Japanese public's rejection of a new self-replicating mRNA vaccine due to reported higher adverse effects and legal challenges faced by those speaking out against it.

Here are 30 key takeaway points from the sources, formatted as requested:

1. A significant database of Japanese COVID-19 vaccination records, including death information, has been made public by citizen groups.
   
   

   • Title: Japanese covid vaccination database for 21 million citizens has been made public Author: Rhoda Wilson

   • "On Sunday, two Japanese citizen groups held a press conference to discuss the data they received via the Freedom of Information Act last month".

   • "The organisers have made the database, which includes vaccination and death information, publicly available through a dedicated website".

2. The publicly released database contains information on 21 million people and was compiled by 350 Japanese volunteers.
   
   

   • "The database of these 21 million records was compiled by 350 Japanese volunteers and was created through a joint project between the National Coalition for Stopping mRNA Vaccines and the Yukoku Alliance".

4. Higher doses of mRNA vaccination were associated with earlier death peaks, suggesting cumulative toxicity.
   
   

   • "Prof. Murakami, who was present at the press conference, revealed a disturbing peak in deaths 90–120 days after mRNA vaccination, with higher doses showing earlier death peaks".

   • "That’s right – folks who got more jabs died sooner, suggesting a cumulative toxicity that builds with each shot".

5. Prof. Murakami estimates that a substantial number of Japanese citizens, between 600,000 to 610,000, may have died post-vaccination.
   
   

   • "Murakami estimates that 600,000 to 610,000 Japanese may have died post-vaccination, a figure that aligns eerily with Japan’s excess death statistics".

    • "Mike Adams: Founder of Brighteon and Natural News, and a well-known figure in alternative health media".

    • "Willem Engel: MSc in Pharmaceutical Science and Dutch activist focused on vaccine-related issues".

12. The database is currently available in Japanese only, but efforts are underway to translate it into English.
    
    

    • "It is currently in Japanese only, but they are working on translating it into English".

    • "The group’s database, though currently Japanese-only, is being prepped for English translation, and they’re inviting researchers worldwide to dive in".

13. The Japanese public has demonstrated strong resistance to the self-replicating mRNA vaccine (replicon vaccine).
    
    

    • "The Japanese public isn’t buying it. Out of 4.2 million doses rolled out last October, only 10,000 were administered".

    • "The people of Japan, armed with growing scepticism and fuelled by groups like the National Coalition, have rejected this experimental injection en masse".

14. The uptake rate for the new replicon vaccine was exceptionally low, at a mere 0.24%.
    
    

    • "Out of 4.2 million doses rolled out last October, only 10,000 were administered".

The Denver Dinosaur Deception

1 source

The provided text, titled "Sure They Did, Chief" by Miles Mathis, critiques a news story about the Denver Museum of Nature and Science's alleged discovery of a dinosaur fossil in a core sample. Mathis challenges the plausibility of the museum's narrative, questioning the methods used for geothermal exploration and the integrity of the fossil's appearance. The author also scrutinizes the credibility of museum staff and the circumstances surrounding another "Teen Rex" fossil discovery, implying potential fabrication or a "conjob" for financial gain. Ultimately, the piece suggests a skepticism regarding the authenticity of dinosaur-related claims and the individuals involved.

Here are 40 key takeaway points from the provided sources, formatted as requested:

1. Sure They Did, Chief by Miles Mathis The Denver Museum of Nature and Science is involved in a story concerning alleged dinosaur fossils. The museum drilled holes in its own parking lot to explore the feasibility of geothermal energy, which led to the discovery.
   
   

2. Scientists drilled 2-inch core samples 763 feet below the surface, discovering dinosaur vertebrae. Scientists drilled some [2”] core samples 763 feet below the surface. One stood out, until the realization hit that they had found some vertebrae from a dinosaur.
   
   

3. Earth sciences research associate Bob Raynolds described the opportunity to study deep geologic layers with such precision as unique. “In my 35 years at the museum, we’ve never had an opportunity quite like this, to study the deep geologic layers beneath our feet with such precision,” said earth sciences research associate Bob Raynolds. Raynolds added, “That this fossil turned up here, in City Park, is nothing short of magical”.
   
   

4. Geology curator James Hagadorn expressed extreme shock and surprise at the discovery. “My jaw fell on the foor,” geology curator James Hagadorn said. “My eyes were about as big as saucers,” Hagadorn said.
   
   

5. Hagadorn compared finding a dinosaur bone in a core sample to highly improbable and rare achievements. “Finding a dinosaur bone in a core is like hitting a hole in one from the moon,” Hagadorn said. “It’s like winning the Willy Wonka factory,” he added.
   
   

6. Hagadorn's initial reaction included questioning the reality and authenticity of the dinosaur find. “It was absolutely incredible. The frst thing you say is, ‘Are you sure? Is this real? Is you playing a joke on me?'” Hagadorn said. He compared it to “fnding a diamond deposit under the world’s largest gem store or an archeological site buried underneath the parking lot of an archeological museum”.
   
   

7. The author suggests James Hagadorn's dramatic reaction indicates he is a poor actor "going way off script," implying the find is fake. Wow, someone in Denver needs to shut that Hagadorn guy up, right. He is about the worst actor of all time, going way off script, practically admitting this is fake.
   
   

8. The author questions the premise of museums drilling deep for geothermal energy, especially in their parking lots. Museums don't normally drill 763 feet below their parking lots in search of geothermal energy. Geothermal energy for what?
   
   

9. The author questions the museum's stated need for geothermal energy, implying they should be connected to the local power grid. To light the displays? Is the Denver Museum not hooked up to the local power grid?
   
   

10. The author asserts that drilling for geothermal energy is fundamentally incompatible with obtaining intact core samples. If you drill a hole looking for geothermal energy, you don't take a core sample. A core sample and a hole are the opposite things, obviously.
    
    

11. The author claims that a drill used for geothermal energy would destroy any material in its path, preventing the retrieval of fossils. You can't bring up fossils from a hole you drilled. If you are drilling such a hole, your drill is going to destroy anything in the path of the drill.
    
    

12. The author uses the analogy of drilling wood to illustrate that drilling produces fragmented material like sawdust, not core samples. When you drill a hole in a piece of wood at home, does your drill supply you with core samples of wood? No, it supplies you with sawdust, doesn't it?
    
    

13. The author explains that drilling for geothermal energy involves testing for gas emissions or heat, not retrieving physical samples. If you are drilling for geothermal energy, you don't pull up core samples, you test for gas emissions or heat. You are looking for hot water or steam.
    
    

14. Hagadorn reportedly admitted that excavating the full fossil would necessitate destroying the parking lot and possibly the museum itself. Besides, Hagadorn later admits they have no plans to dig out the entire fossils, since that would require destroying the parking lot and maybe even the museum. Which of course begs this question: then what were they going to do if they discovered a geothermal source?
    
    

15. The author finds the entire narrative of the geothermal drilling leading to a fossil discovery "stupid" and illogical. That's what I mean by stupid. Tap it all through a 2” hole in the director's parking space, via a generator in the lobby?
    
    

16. The author speculates that the entire story appears to be a fabrication, possibly created by artificial intelligence. The whole thing looks like it was dreamed up by a hallucinating AI, as usual. He is about the worst actor of all time, going way off script, practically admitting this is fake.
    
    

17. The discovered fossil is prominently displayed in the museum's "Discovering Teen Rex" exhibit. The fossil is now on display in the museum's "Discovering Teen Rex" exhibit. Well, that's convenient for the current propaganda, isn't it?
    
    

18. The "Teen Rex" exhibit features an allegedly adolescent T-rex supposedly discovered by teenagers in North Dakota. And what is this “teen rex” exhibit? It is an allegedly adolescent T-rex allegedly discovered by teens in North Dakota.
    
    

19. The author highlights the apparent coincidence of "teens discovering teens" within the exhibit's narrative. Teens discovering teens. Well, that's convenient for the current propaganda, isn't it?
    
    

20. The author critically assesses the appearance of the displayed lower jaw, finding it looks "fake." That's the lower jaw on display. Wow, how fake does that look!
    
    

21. The author states that true fossils are composed of rock, not bone, suggesting the displayed teeth are not genuine fossils. As usual, they don't seem to be aware that fossils are made of rock, not bone. The teeth don't look like rock, so they can't be fossils.
    
    

22. The author claims that natural fossilization would involve mineralization by local minerals, resulting in a color different from the dark displayed teeth. The fossils would be mineralized by local minerals, which wouldn't be dark like that. The teeth don't look like rock, so they can't be fossils.
    
    

23. The author concludes that the presented evidence supports the idea that dinosaur fossils are typically a "conjob" or hoax. So all this just tends to confirm that dinosaurs fossils are the usual conjob. If they are real, why fake stuff like this?
    
    

24. The author questions whether the displayed jaw resembles a T-Rex's lower jaw and if T-Rexes have teeth only on one side. Does that look even remotely like the lower jaw of a T-Rex to you? Do T-Rexes have teeth on only one side?
    
    

25. The author questions why only one side or the upper jaw of the fossil was not excavated or displayed. Why not dig out the other side or the upper jaw? Did that evaporate?
    
    

26. The author criticizes the visual representation of the jawbone, suggesting it appears unnaturally flat, "like a footprint." Is a jawbone all in one plane, like a footprint? That's just pathetic.
    
    

27. The teenagers who allegedly discovered the "Teen Rex" fossil are identified as the children of an ExxonMobil employee. And guess what, the teens who discovered this just happen to be Fishers, the children of a guy in North Dakota working for. . . ExxonMobil. We should have known.
    
    

28. The author points out that "Fisher" is a Jewish name, connecting it to the alleged fossil discovery. Fisher is a Jewish name, of course. And guess what, the teens who discovered this just happen to be Fishers.
    
    

29. The source shows an image of individuals described as "fossil 'preparators'" at the Denver Museum. And here are the fossil “preparators” at Denver Museum. No really.
    
    

30. The author challenges the term "preparator," calling it a "new modern idiot-word" created specifically for this museum job. Is preparator even a word? It is, but apparently it is one of those new modern idiot-words created just for this museum job.
    
    

31. The author notes that "preparator" is synonymous with "preparer" and questions the purpose of the additional letters. It is the same as “preparer”, so we aren't sure what the extra letters are for. Is preparator even a word?
    
    

32. Natalie Toth is identified as the chief fossil preparer at the Denver Museum since 2017. Just for fun, I studied the resume of this Natalie Toth. She was hired as the chief fossil preparer at Denver Museum in 2017.
    
    

33. The author expresses skepticism regarding Natalie Toth's qualifications for her chief fossil preparer position. She was hired as the chief fossil preparer at Denver Museum in 2017, so she must have had extensive experience in the field and in the lab, right? Well. . . no. So we aren't sure what qualified her for this position as chief fossil preparer, though we can guess.
    
    

34. Natalie Toth's prior professional experience included roles as a workshop facilitator and a short stint as a park paleontologist. She was previously a workshop facilitator at the Museum in 2010 at age 23. She was park paleontologist in the Petrified Forest for less than a year.
    
    

35. A people search suggests Natalie Toth's brother, Peter Toth, may have connections to intelligence agencies like the CIA. A people search also turned up possible paydirt on her, since her brother Peter Toth, 35, has Reston, Arlington and Herndon on his list, indicating he may be CIA or similar. There is a Peter Toth of Chantilly at LinkedIN, but his resume goes back to 1995, so he is apparently too old to be this Peter Toth.
    
    

36. The author asserts that Natalie Toth's familial relations indicate she is Jewish, despite her Hungarian surname. Toth is a Hungarian name, but she is related to Work, Sadecky, Krokaugger, Freund, Musiala, Gulan and Katawczik, indicating she is Jewish. We can link her through the first one to Grahams, which helps since they are top peers from Scotland.
    
    

37. Natalie Toth has two listings on Instantcheckmate, which the author interprets as indicating a "double existence." Also notice she has two listings at Instantcheckmate, indicating some kind of double existence. But both must be her, since both are related to Marsha Toth (her mother) and both have Denver and Arizona on them.
    
    

38. Natalie Toth is linked through a relative to Samuel Krokaugger, who was sentenced to life in prison for homicides. Through Natalie Krokaugger, this Natalie Toth links us to Samuel Krokaugger of Salt Lake City, sentenced to life in prison at age 19 in 2008 for two homicides. Both Natalie and Samuel are related to Kent Krokaugger, giving us a hard link.
    
    

39. The author claims Samuel Krokaugger's legal event "looks faked" due to the presence of family members in court despite a guilty plea. And yes, that event looks faked, since if he pled guilty why was he expected to address “dozens of family members of the victims gathered in the courtroom”? If you plead guilty, there is no trial, so what were all these people doing in a courtroom?
    
    

40. The author considers the possibility that dinosaur fakes are created solely for funding purposes, but finds this explanation increasingly improbable. I leave open the possibility dinosaurs are real and that these fakes are simply done to nab funding. But the more I look into it, the less likely that becomes.
