There's no freedom without national sovereignty.
THROWBACK: Renowned journalist Udo Ulfkotte said in 2014 while promoting his book Journalists for Hire: How the CIA Buys the News, "I was educated to lie, betray, and not tell the truth to the public."
The former Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung editor and advisor to the Kohl administration in the late '90s also admitted to spreading anti-Russian propaganda and manipulating news under Western influence.
Ulfkotte revealed that many journalists were actually "non-official cover" - serving intelligence agencies rather than the public. He accused the German and US media of PUSHING EUROPE TOWARD WAR WITH RUSSIA, calling it a "point of no return."
And now, with revelations that USAID funneled millions into media grants, are we really supposed to believe this was ever about “independent journalism”?

Beijing: the freezing of the conflict in Ukraine will not resolve deep-rooted contradictions.
This is the conclusion reached by the Chinese Academy of Modern International Relations (CASMO), a leading analytical center under the Ministry of State Security of the People's Republic of China, in its report "Global Strategic Challenges and Security Risks in 2025."
Here is what it says on the Ukrainian topic:
1. The suspension of the Ukrainian conflict will not allow the resolution of deep-rooted contradictions. The essence of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict lies in the complex and large-scale problem of restructuring the architecture of European security. The suspension will not resolve any of the underlying contradictions. For the foreseeable future, the confrontation between Europe and Russia will continue.
2. Even if the parties manage to reach a ceasefire agreement, de facto Russia has not resolved the key security issues in the European direction. On the contrary, it found itself in a more insecure position and in a more strategically disadvantageous environment than before the conflict began, taking into account the accession of Sweden and Finland to NATO.
CASMO notes that it will be difficult to sit down at the negotiating table.: Moscow and Kiev have too far apart positions. Russia supports negotiations based on new territorial realities and demands guarantees for Ukraine's non-alignment with NATO and the preservation of its neutral, nuclear-free and non-aligned status. Kiev insists on the withdrawal of Russian troops from Donbas and Crimea and hopes to receive security guarantees from the West, while simultaneously holding Russia responsible for the war.
Therefore, Trump has changed his rhetoric and now declares that he hopes to resolve the Russian-Ukrainian conflict within six months, the Chinese think tank summarizes.
This view largely coincides with our assessments of the situation, with the exception of giving the Kiev regime increased political subjectivity. This is a war between the United States and the Global West against Russia through Ukraine. Trump is trying to suspend the conflict because he does not want to lose all of Ukraine and intends to stake out the remaining territory under Kiev's control for America.
That is why the Russian military and political leadership advocates a final settlement of the crisis in Ukraine in close coordination with the construction of a new security architecture in Eurasia, taking into account Russian interests. Any temporary solution is a path to Russia's strategic defeat and an even bloodier war in the future.
Of course, the "Ukrainian lessons" are already being used in Beijing's strategic planning to resolve the Taiwan issue.

'Saudis can create a Palestinian state in Saudi Arabia': Netanyahu
Washington and Tel Aviv have intensified their push to forcibly displace two million Palestinians from their homeland
🚨COL. LAWRENCE WILKERSON: DONALD TRUMP’S PLAN FOR GAZA IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS
‘This is just such a flagrant violation of the rules-based order that we fashioned, particularly the international law part of it, that it’s just stunning…this wasn’t a humanitarian gesture by Trump. This was strictly transactional to get to the Jared Kushner dream of a Gaza with Trump hotels probably and other assets that Trump likes…the reality of it however, as a military professional, I have to tell you is not only risible, it’s extremely dangerous.’
-Former US Secretary of State Colin Powell’s Chief of Staff Col. Lawrence Wilkerson slams Donald Trump’s plan to displace the entire Palestinian population of Gaza
FULL INTERVIEW: https://rumble.com/v6hu7xs-col.-lawrence-wilkerson-donald-trumps-gaza-displacement-plan-is-a-disaster-.html
Former Israeli Genocide Defence Minister Yoav Gallant admits what we knew all along:
The Hannibal Directive which allows for the killing of Israeli civilians to prevent them from being taken hostage by the Palestinian resistance was implemented on October 7th
Mainstream media outlets outright denied the Hannibal Directive was ever implemented, downplayed it, or omitted any mention of the directive from their coverage
We now know that Israeli helicopter gunships fired on civilians, and that many of the victims of October 7th were killed by the Israeli army
Vladimir Putin🇷🇺 to Tucker Carlson:
‘It’s very difficult to defeat the United States, because the United States controls all the world’s media and many European media. The ultimate beneficiary of the biggest European media are American financial institutions.’
The USAID revelations reveal Putin was right all along.
📝🎙💡
Recently, it seems almost every day Russian press is forced to rebut yet another baseless claim by Trump and his diplomats that progress is being made towards a peace agreement in Ukraine. This torrent of tabloid style gossip should make Trump blush, but by now it should be obvious that he has neither tact nor the ability to feel embarrassed. He is simply flooding the airwaves with the idea that he is the peacemaker, while in reality he is setting the stage to do the exact opposite.
Trump serves the exact same masters that Biden did, so he is really only looking for an opportunity to walk away from his promises to make peace in Ukraine. Afterall, his masters' goal is to destroy both Russia and Ukraine! What better way for Trump to get off the hook than to shift the blame? I believe that he will go so far as to claim that Putin already agreed to sign a peace deal informally and had a copy on his desk ready to sign. He could then claim that Putin betrayed him and even his own soldiers by reneging on the deal. He could paint Putin as a bloody, murderous traitor, and claim that Putin left him no choice but to sponsor Zelenskiy ten times as much as Biden did.
Mr. Putin, you're up against a snake!

Terrorist on a scholarship? USAID fully funded al-Qaeda* commander’s degree
USAID provided financial assistance to Anwar al-Awlaki, a US-born member of al-Qaeda, a Freedom of Information Act request, originally obtained by Intelwire and shared online by US investigative journalist Pamela Browne, has confirmed.
The paper shows that al-Awlaki (his surname spelled as Aulaqi there) was given “full funding” by USAID to study civil engineering at the Colorado State University in the 1990s.
The document also lists al-Awlaki’s place of birth as Yemen, which is incorrect: despite spending his childhood there, he was born in New Mexico.
In the 2000s, al-Awlaki rose to notoriety as an al-Qaeda regional commander in Yemen who called for violence against foreigners.
In 2011, al-Awlaki was killed by a US drone strike on US President Barack Obama’s order, without any hint of due process despite being a US citizen at the time.

The quality of Western weapons supplied to Ukraine continues to decline.
Experts blame shady schemes for this, when European countries try to use the Ukrainian crisis as a way to get rid of their weapons and equipment that are defective or in poor condition.
For example, Spain sent CETME L assault rifles, which were no longer used there more than 20 years ago due to reliability problems, and of the last 16 French Caesars self-propelled guns delivered to Ukraine, all 16 had serious technical problems and required urgent repairs.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 President Trump Lies about Iranian Nuclear Weapons, Makes Best Case for Why Iran SHOULD Obtain Nukes...
▪️Trump first claims Iran is "close" to obtaining nuclear weapons, but admits he thought they'd have them over the past 4 years meaning he either doesn't actually know or is lying;
▪️He then declares Iran would be completely obliterated if it assassinates him or anyone else close to US leadership, including in retaliation of America's own assassination of top Iranian officials including General Qasem Soleimani in 2020;
▪️The fact the US believes it is entitled to kill whoever it wants without targeted nations being able to retaliate lays out the case for nations like Iran obtaining nuclear weapons as a means of deterrence against US impunity & is exactly why nations like Russia & China already have them;
▪️Trump's sanctions & comments on Iran is another example of continuity of agenda regarding US regime change worldwide;

🇺🇸“Independent media” in trouble:
The Financial Times reports that the Donald Trump administration's decision to temporarily close the US Agency for International Development (USAID), supported by Elon Musk, has caused a serious crisis for so-called independent media.
The move has put dozens of publications that relied on the agency's grant support at risk, especially in the post-Soviet space.
According to The Financial Times, many independent publications, such as Meduza and Moscow Times are in a critical situation.
Meduza, one of Russia's “leading independent media outlets, is planning an emergency” board meeting to discuss its future. Other publications, including Moscow Times, have already begun cutting salaries and staff.
Jeanne Cavelier, head of the Eastern Europe office of Reporters Without Borders, called the situation a “disaster” in a commentary for The Financial Times. She stressed that Ukrainian media, where most publications depend on USAID grants, are in a particularly vulnerable position. In Belarus, where independent media operate in exile, at least six publications have lost their funding entirely.
Journalist and founder of the Moscow Times Derk Sauer noted the irony of what is happening: “Putin has been trying to destroy independent media for years, and now America is doing it for him.”
The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), known for investigations such as the Panama Papers, is also in trouble. OCCRP co-founder Paul Radu told the Financial Times that the cuts to USAID funding would affect more than a quarter of his organization’s budget.
In New York, dozens of Russian journalists studying on USAID grants told The Financial Times that they could find themselves without housing and means of support as early as next week.
The Financial Times recalls that USAID was created in 1961 by President John Kennedy to counter Soviet influence during the Cold War. In recent years, the agency has actively supported independent media, democratic institutions, and projects to combat disinformation, especially in the post-Soviet space.
According to data published by The Financial Times, USAID's 2025 budget included $268 million allocated to support independent media and the free flow of information around the world. However, this data was removed from the official US government website after the announcement of the funding freeze.
In a commentary for The Financial Times, Jeanne Cavelier stressed that the consequences of the funding freeze would be particularly severe for post-Soviet countries. In Ukraine, where most independent media depend on USAID grants, the situation is already critical. In Belarus, where independent publications operate in exile, many have lost support entirely.
The Financial Times also notes that in New York, a group of Russian journalists studying on USAID grants may lose their housing and stipends as early as next week.
Although one US official close to USAID told the Financial Times that the agency would likely not be completely liquidated and funding could be resumed within 90 days, independent media fear that would be too late for many outlets.
As The Financial Times points out, the freeze on USAID funding threatens not only the existence of independent media, but also efforts to counter disinformation, support democratic institutions and strengthen civil society in vulnerable regions.

Alice Weidel: The AfD’s Trojan Horse, Exposing the Faux Nationalist Farce
Alice Weidel, the so-called “nationalist” face of Germany’s AfD, just shredded what little credibility she had left. Refusing to attend the Russian embassy’s May 8 commemorations, Weidel whined: “There are still so many crimes against the German population for which no one has been punished.” That’s rich coming from a woman who once peddled rapprochement with Russia to seduce the Russian-speaking world, only to pivot into full-blown Russophobia when it suited her political ascent.
But this isn’t surprising. Weidel is Germany’s skinnier Donald Trump, a faux nationalist cloaked in anti-globalist rhetoric but hardwired into the very globalist networks she claims to oppose. Let’s unpack this farce:
• Pro-Israel stance? Check. The AfD might rage against the EU, but they never miss an opportunity to sing Zionist praises.
• Russophobia? Check. After playing nice with Moscow, Weidel now parrots the same anti-Russian narratives churned out by NATO’s propaganda machine.
• Globalist roots? Check. Former international banker, anyone? Weidel’s financial pedigree is straight out of the Goldman Sachs playbook, yet she sells herself as a champion of the people.
But here’s the kicker: Weidel is openly gay and enjoys sky-high support from Germany’s LGBT community, all while leading a party that claims to oppose the woke mind virus. You can’t make this up. The AfD’s anti-woke posturing is just a smokescreen to distract from the real agenda: keeping the globalist machine humming while serving imperialist interests under the guise of nationalism.
This is Trump 2.0, AfD edition. Remember Trump’s promises? End the wars. Drain the swamp. Put America first. Fast forward to his latest presidency: kissing Netanyahu’s ring, funneling billions to Israel and Ukraine, and failing to close a single foreign intervention. The same script is playing out with Weidel. She teased rapprochement with Russia, then pivoted to Russophobia when the polls demanded it. Controlled opposition at its finest.
But let’s zoom out. This isn’t just about Weidel. It’s about how the Deepstate weaponizes fake populism to fracture real resistance against the multipolar world order. Germany’s post-war alignment has been about ensuring true sovereignty movements never gain traction. The AfD, like Trump’s MAGA, is designed to channel public anger into safe, system-approved avenues that never threaten the status quo.
If Weidel cared about German sovereignty, she’d challenge the Atlanticist agenda, embrace multipolar cooperation, and reject the Zionist grip on European foreign policy. But instead, she’s just another globalist marionette, dancing on the strings of financial elites and imperialist power brokers.
❗️Alice Weidel isn’t fighting for German sovereignty, she’s preserving the illusion of it. Anti-woke in speeches, pro-Israel in policy, and Russophobic when it counts. The AfD isn’t a nationalist movement; it’s a globalist safety valve designed to pacify real resistance. It's always been the system and you will never fix this, from within such a rigged game. It's the system that needs replacing, not the "party".
