NEW: Intelligence Analyst Morgan Wright Says Epstein’s Saudi Arabia Advocacy Should Have Created A “Predicate” for FARA Investigation “It certainly looks like the predicate to open up an investigation because clearly you have a US citizen advising a foreign country on things that are adversarial to the United States.”...

EXCLUSIVE: Long Time Trump Advisor Michael Caputo Says His Biden-Era Case Was Closed Following Oval Office Meeting “The fact is the President has 300 or 3000 Michael Caputos that deserve mercy.

Tucker Carlson says that Big Pharma has made us a different country because essentially the entire country is using one drug or another at all times “There's almost no natural human activity in the United States that doesn't seem to require a pharma product — so if you have a whole society that's under the influence, if everybody's on something, what do you have? Well, it's not kinda the country you had before, and it's a less human country. There's clearly something going on here. It almost looks like an intentional effort to wreck a population. But the point is, we're participating in it, and we shouldn't.” Tucker Carlson is right the amount of people on mental health medication is extremely high. Currently it’s about 1 in every 5 people in taking these meds

FBI Director Kash Patel explains that they have been providing what they can to the public while these massive ongoing investigations are taking place and says we can expect the Arctic Frost investigation to end up just like the J6 pipe bomber investigation. “What’s unique about this FBI is that we are running investigations while providing what we can... This pipe bomb investigation should show the American public that we, while providing information on the pipe bomb over the last 8 months and protecting the integrity of our investigation, gets us to the end point we want. Accountability & transparency… This investigation should show the world how we are going to operate in every single investigation. Arctic Frost specifically, we have HUGE investigation going… and it’s gonna take a little more time to peel it back. But no, I’m not gonna let people get off the hook or get a hall pass. I don’t care what position you held in the FBI, you’re gonna be held accountable. And this DOJ is assuredly backing us.” Love it. We keep getting bits & pieces of the grand conspiracy investigation before ultimately the hammer drops. I’m not sure why this is hard to understand for some… FBI Director Kash Patel John Solomon Just the News

Alex Krainer (Alex (Sasha) Krainer) explains why Saudi Arabia, after watching the West freeze nearly $300 billion of Russian assets, is now paying a protection racket to Turkey and Pakistan. The Gulf states understand their own trillions in Western-held sovereign wealth are next. The new alliance is not about defending Israel—it is about acquiring new protectors before the imperial system loots everything. Host Zulfikar, who has direct access to the relevant deliberations, confirms the assessment as simply “protection money.” Krainer: “Everybody saw how the Western powers didn’t hesitate a moment to freeze almost 300 billion dollars’ worth of Russian assets in the Western financial institutions. If they are brazen enough, if they are ruthless enough to do this to the number-one nuclear power in the world, then what is Saudi Arabia to them? It’s nothing. It’s a maggot they will squash whenever they choose to do so. Saudi Arabia not only has far more than Russia—last I looked they had something like 800 or 900 billion dollars in direct assets in the United States—but they also have these enormous sovereign wealth funds. The combined assets of the Saudi, UAE, Qatari, Bahraini and Kuwaiti sovereign wealth funds in the West are something close to five trillion dollars. One thing we can take as a near-100% certainty is that before the Western empire fails, it is going to loot all of that money and take it for its own ends. After Ukraine and after what they did to Russia, these rulers may be corrupt, they may be brutal, they may be ruthless and oppressive, but they are not stupid. They see the writing on the wall. They see what is coming their way. The way I interpret this new alliance between Pakistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia is that Saudi Arabia is deciding to pay a protection racket to Turkey and Pakistan. Two of these three nations are major military powers; one of them is a pipsqueak. Why would Pakistan and Turkey sign an alliance with Saudi Arabia—an attack on one is an attack on all? If somebody attacks Turkey, is Saudi Arabia going to come to their aid? That’s a joke. I think the Saudis initiated this by saying: we are already screwed. We are going to get skinned alive. All our sovereign asset funds—we are probably never going to see them again. So what we can do is, since you are already at least on paper allied with the United States, you can become our protectors. We will pay you for it with these funds that are in the United States. If we say ‘send us a trillion dollars,’ Trump is going to say no—why don’t we send you a trillion dollars’ worth of Patriot missiles that we will deliver in 2046? But if Turkey or Pakistan say ‘send us a trillion dollars,’ the United States may have to send the money. Saudi Arabia gets new protectors, and these new protectors get some of the Saudi money.” Zulfikar: “Alex, a lot of nonsense has been said about this, but you have cut to the chase. You have uttered the words that are the truest words describing what has just taken place. I say this sitting in a position where I have actually listened to the deliberations between people who put their names on the piece of paper. I am that close to the scene. Exactly what you have said is the truth. It is very simple. Saudi Arabia is buying protection. It is protection money. Easy, very simple to understand. And Saudi Arabia watched with great dismay the destruction of the United States by Iran—under 50 years of sanctions.” The Gulf states have read the writing on the wall. Paying a protection racket to real military powers is their attempt to escape the coming looting of the imperial system.

Vice President Vance says Iran will not receive a single U.S. taxpayer dollar, arguing any future economic benefits depend on abandoning its nuclear ambitions: First of all, they never get a dime of American taxpayer money—ever. Full stop. Not even close. What we have said is that there is a lot of economic benefit in the United States relieving sanctions and welcoming them back into the world economy. There is a lot of prosperity that can come from that. It’s not American money, but there are economic opportunities that can follow. What the president has said to them is this: we want you to be a successful country. But for you to be successful, you have to give up this threat. You have to give up the desire to obtain a nuclear weapon. And if you do that, the United States is willing to have a much better relationship.”

If you WATCH just one video today, make it this one.🔥🔥🔥 A Navy veteran and DOD civilian employee shares his perspective on the mandatory return to in-person work for federal employees and his thoughts on Trump’s policies. “I want people to understand that we, as a country—We, the United States—have been trending on the wrong side of finances for a very long time. We, as a country, are $37 trillion in debt right now. Do I agree with everything that Trump is doing? Do I agree with how he’s going about it? No. But I understand why. We have to stop being emotional and look at the black and white of everything. We were not going to survive much longer financially as a country—that’s just what it is. Take your glasses off, or take whatever you have on, and stop putting all your vitriol on Trump. Instead, put it on the United States government. Because right now, we have a president in office—whether you like him or not—who is trying to do what’s best for the country. He sees the writing on the wall. This country is about making money, and we were not making money—we were losing money and losing power. They’re trying to resuscitate the United States as the global power that it is. The decisions that are being made now are trying to right the ship so that we are in a better position in the next 10 or 15 years.”

"We don't have enough machinists. We don't have enough quality inspectors. We don't have enough welders in the country." Hadrian CEO Chris Power on how a modern software-driven factory works differently from traditional manufacturing: "At that task level, we have to get them 90% more productive." "If you want to train a Navy welder today it's going to take you a decade. So we have to augment the skills with software." "The flexibility to constructing something like a submarine demands is incredibly what we call high-mix, low-volume." "If you're building a Toyota Camry you're making 20,000 of them a year... You can easily automate a million iPhones." "What the software enables is running at that level of factory productivity but with the flexibility that something like a submarine demands." "So it's really the velocity and agility and reducing the amount of people because we just don't have the people in the US."

ABC’s George Stephanopoulos attempted to trip up Secretary of State Marco Rubio by asking the same question about Venezuela three different times. “What is the legal authority for the United States to be running Venezuela?” And three times, Rubio shut him down. RUBIO: “I explained to you what our goals are and how we’re going to use the leverage to make it happen.” “As far as our legal authority on the quarantine, simple. We have court orders. These are sanctioned boats, and we get orders from courts to go after and seize these sanctions. Is a court not a legal authority?” STEPHANOPOULOS: “Is the United States running Venezuela right now?” RUBIO: “Well, I’ve explained once again, I’ll do it one more time.” “What we are running is the direction this is going to move moving forward, and that is we have leverage.” “This leverage we are using and we intend to use. We started using already. You can see where they are running out of storage capacity. In a few weeks, they’re going to have to start pumping oil, unless they make changes.” “That leverage that we have with the armada of boats that are currently positioned, allow us to seize any sanctioned boats coming into or out of Venezuela loaded with oil or on its way in to pick up oil.” “We can pick and choose which ones we go after. We have court orders for each one.” “That will continue to be in place until the people who have control over the levers of power in that country make changes that are not just in the interest of the people of Venezuela but are in the interest of the United States and the things that we care about.” “The legal authority is the court orders that we have.”
