Trump and Putin Could Bring Peace to the World - Paul Craig Roberts

 Read full text: https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2025/03/30/trump-and-putin-could-bring-peace-to-the-world/ 

If Trump and Putin were in the league with the great strategists in history, what would they do to bring this clown act to an end?  They would announce a military alliance. Putin can have Ukraine, the Baltics and as much of Europe as he wants.  Trump will take Canada, Greenland, and Panama.  No one on earth could do anything about this.

Putin does not want Ukraine, the Baltics, or Europe.  He only wants Russia to be left alone and to engage freely with the countries that comprise the world.  What Trump really wants, we don’t yet know.  But a Trump-Putin alliance would establish dominion over the rule of earth, Israel included.  Israel’s agenda of Greater Israel could easily be deep-sixed, Israel’s nuclear weapons destroyed, and justice given  to the Palestinians.  Israel would be reduced, instead of expanded, in boundary, and the Jews could use their talent for business to make the Middle East a prosperous area of the world.

President Trump seems to have the idea that the pursuit of mutual interests in business is far superior to the pursuit of war. Putin has shown himself to be the least combative of leaders of powerful countries. 

If only Trump and Putin could realize that a US-Russia military alliance would establish peace in the world, no more NATO, no more CIA overthrowing governments, no more propaganda about false news threats, we could enter a golden era of peace.

Of course, the military-security complex would assassinate both Trump and Putin.

Nevertheless, I believe both would risk it if only they could think of it.

The USA Attacked Russia - Vox Popoli

Russia would be perfectly within its rights to launch retaliatory strikes on London, Paris, Brussels, or Washington DC now. The globalist organizations headquartered in those four cities are 100-percent guilty of having attacked Russia. The only reason it won’t do so is because time is on its side; the last desperate hope of Clown World is to provoke Russia into striking back hard enough to galvanize widespread Western support for a war on Russia.

The fact that Clown World’s very clever and not-at-all transparent strategy rests on such an obvious non-starter only serves to underline how fragile their globalist neo-tower of Babel is now. At this point, Americans wouldn’t care if Russian troops not only took Kiev and Odessa, they wouldn’t care if they occupied Berlin and Brussels as well.

The constant portrayal of the patient, cautious Putin, who is probably the individual most responsible for preventing WWIII, as an aggressive dictator is such a complete inversion of the truth that it is probably going to be genuinely shocking to most people when he is eventually succeeded by a much more hardline figure who is much more willing to hold Russia’s enemies accountable for their constant provocations.

The cost of bureaucracy designing our technology is beyond our ability to pay!

 The intentional driving of cost higher, whether it be through "wind and solar" as power generation rather than coal and gas, fuel "economy" standards on vehicles, the same for water heaters, furnaces and similar along with air conditioning and similar gear must stop and be reversed right now.  MUCH of the inflation of the last 20 years has been driven through this scam and there is not only no reason for it environmentally it is screwing ordinary Americans out of trillions of dollars a year.

Both of these first two items are done to try to get another tenth or two of a mile per gallon.  The cost of that is turning what should be a 300,000 mile drivetrain with ordinary maintenance into one that is lucky to get out of the 60,000 mile warranty without blowing up.  The ecological cost of making vehicles "disposable" like this is outrageous, if it happens to you when at some distance from home (e.g. on vacation) it adds thousands to the damage you suffer and all of this **** must be stopped; it is a direct consequence of "fuel economy mandates" and similar bull**** including trying to drive people into EVs.  We have known how to for decades, and can today, build gas and diesel drive lines that easily go well beyond 200,000 miles with nothing other than ordinary maintenance.  The failure rates on these newer vehicles in extremely expensive driveline components is intentional; whether it is driven by companies trying to make vehicles disposable and destroying the used-car market so as to force you to buy another $80,000 vehicle or whether driven by government mandate -- or some of each -- it must end right now.  With the government mandates gone if it continues then as citizens we should burn the automakers to the ground along with eating all of their executives and their entire family -- they have known how to build durable drivelines for more than 20 years and proof of it is found in all the 20 year old ones that are still in perfectly good operating condition and have never had a single internal component touched.  There are FOUR such vehicles, all 2015 or older with three of them old enough to drink, two of them having more than a quarter-million miles on them and both the others well north of 100k miles on the clock in my direct family.

Nearing the Final Battle Against the Deep State - American Thinker

 Read full text: https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2025/03/nearing_the_final_battle_against_the_deep_state.html 


We have been living, it seems, in a make-believe world where the president we elect and the cabinet members he’s chosen are mere placeholders operating under a system where the bureaucracy controls relevant information and may or may not share it with those at the top. Jeff Childers says now that USAID has been transferred to Rubio’s Department of State and all but the statutory employees removed, the next target of DOGE is the CIA.

Was it purely coincidental that Rubio unexpectedly shuttered USAID on Friday and Ratcliffe unexpectedly invited DOGE into CIA the following Monday? Behold the timeline of just what we can see:

— On his first day in office, Trump created DOGE.

— DOGE’s first project was to wood-chip the CIA’s global laundromat, USAID.

— Weird legal fights erupted over the obscure “independent” agency.

— DOGE -- solely under Trump’s control -- continued penetrating most of the government.

— The Senate confirmed John Ratcliffe as CIA Director.

— Ratcliffe immediately fired an unknown number of CIA staff. (Battlefield preparation?)

— The JFK disclosures were body blows against the CIA. (More battlefield preparation?)

— Trump declassified (not yet produced) Crossfire Hurricane. (Even more?)

— Yesterday, Rubio officially ended USAID by Congressional notice.

— Yesterday, Ratcliffe publicly invited Musk into the CIA.

So many questions! Why Musk, and not a regular DOGE team? Why announce it? Why is the media pretending this story is a nothing burger?

[snip]      

Imagine a new, AI-powered, top-secret, digital DOGE dashboard at Langley that can show Ratcliffe everything in real-time: every dollar, every operation, every contract, every overseas asset being paid -- and only Trump’s team will hold the keys. Once such a dashboard were installed, the Agency’s permanent staff couldn’t play their covert games anymore. No more secret drug ops. No more unauthorized coups. No more backchannel slush funds.

No more resist Trump operations.

If DOGE can pull this off, the Agency will properly become an extension of the White House, rather than the other way around.

 In other words, DOGE at CIA is the nuclear option. It is a breathtaking vision of a brand-new reality that could dismantle the entire postwar geopolitical model. Now, permanent, unelected bureaucrats and spies hold the real power, because they control the money, secrets, and the levers of influence, while manipulated elected officials come and go like figure skaters blissfully unaware of all the busy little crustaceans teeming right below the ice.

If CIA-DOGE integration is real, and it sticks, then the Deep State will evaporate into a shallow pond. The DOGE dashboard would collapse the financial hydra into a one-necked money chokepoint. It would move the levers of control back into the White House. No more shadow government. No more covert meetings between “resisters” discussing how to undermine the elected President and thwart his agenda.

To be perfectly clear: DOGE in intelligence suggests, not just draining the swamp, but the engineered desertification of the swamp.

Now’s the Time to Buy a Nuke (Nuclear Power Plant, That Is) - American Thinker

 “To everything, there is a season.”

Electricity is deep, deep infrastructure—try living (or making a living) without it. The hardware and the organizations that keep the lights on and your laptop humming are long-lasting and stable. There are 100+-year-old high-voltage transmission lines still in service, delivering power from equally ancient hydroelectric generators. Just as the Roman aqueducts allowed Rome to become the largest city in the world at 0 A.D, and are still delivering water in places, so too has electricity allowed the flourishing of modern technological civilization. For those of us in the electricity business, in our way of thinking, a ten-year planning horizon is “short-term” thinking.

We in the electric business really ask only three things from our customers. First, use our product safely, and don’t electrocute yourselves. Second, pay your just and fair electric bill each month to cover the costs. And lastly, try to stay out of our way as we work to serve you and your neighbors. One of our obligations is to be there for you so you can depend on electricity. Of course, we can’t afford to build for all contingencies (lights may go out during hurricanes, for example), and generally you don’t want to pay for perfection—generally 99.9+% reliability is considered about the right tradeoff of security of supply and capital investment.

If I were advising those considering building a new nuclear power plant, I’d tell them that a delay in placing an order will likely prove costly in both time and money.

Europe Gambled and Lost - Vox Popoli

 It turns out that betting on satanic globalism that seeks to eradicate your own nations is not the smart way to bet:

The Ukraine war is going to be concluded soon. Attempts to prevent the outbreak of peace are being bypassed by direct negotiations between the US and Russia.

Aside from the obvious desire to stop the killing, arguments about cost are being made. The broader strategy of the Trump administration is to present its foreign and domestic policy as an efficiency drive to cut waste. There is no difference between foreign and domestic policy of course. This means regime change abroad means regime change at home.

Now all of the European regimes are going to fail. What the EU calls “democracy”, which of course is closer to anti-democratic rule by a corrupt retarderati that has sold their souls and sold out their nations, is going to come to an end within the next ten years and probably sooner.

Once Germany goes bankrupt, the other European Clown World states will rapidly follow suit. And all the post-WWII Enlightenment appeals to fake virtues that are only honored in their absence will lose the final remnants of their rhetorical power.

The nations will rise again and Clown World, or as Susan Cooper called it, The Dark, will once more be driven back into the shadows on the periphery. Because one can only war successfully against Nature and Nature’s God for so long before reality exerts itself on one’s delusions.

The Retardery is Relentless - Vox Popoli

 The average university student today cannot even read.

What I’m about to describe are the average students at Average State U.

Most of our students are functionally illiterate. This is not a joke.

This is not an educational system problem, this is a societal problem. What am I supposed to do? Keep standards high and fail them all? That’s not an option for untenured faculty who would like to keep their jobs.

Keep this in mind the next time you’re thinking of passing over a perfectly good candidate for a job because he doesn’t have a university degree. The reality is that not more than 10 percent of an average European population can benefit from a college education.
