Trump’s Reality Spin! Ukraine’s Offensive Win! Gavin Newsom Takes it on the Chin! Peter Thiel’s Dialog Society Exposed Herein!
By Robert Eringer
“Macron and Zelensky caught in hot mic moment discussing how to deal with Trump” (Daily Mail)
Easy-peasy.
Flatter him. Name a prominent building after him. Present him with a solid gold statuette of himself.
“CIA director doubts Iran’s intentions on deal” (Axios)
In internal discussions, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth both expressed concerns and raised questions about the memorandum of understanding (MOU) while Vice President Vance and U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner advocated for it, according to two of the sources.
Statesmen versus real-estate brokers.
“Trump Iran deal achieves everything we wanted” (The Telegraph)
Methinks not. The danger of governing by cliffhanger is that foreign adversaries eventually discover they only need to survive until the next episode.
“Iran sentences singer Parastoo Ahmadi, eight others to lashings over performance without hijab” (Jerusalem Post)
Seventy-four lashes for showing her shoulders.
This is the regime we are now being asked to accommodate—apparently because stability, oil prices, and market reactions have become overriding priorities.
“U.S. Has ‘Nothing to Do’ With Ukraine War, Trump Says at G7 Summit” (NYTs)
Why should any country trust the United States when, every four or eight years, a new administration treats the commitments of a previous one as optional?
Ukraine surrendered the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal in exchange for security assurances, including promises from the United States that its sovereignty and territorial integrity would be guaranteed—specifically, against invasion from Russia.,
No matter.
It now appears Ukraine is not only capable of defending itself, but of also taking an offensive position as…
“Ukraine pummels Russian capital with what may be largest drone strike yet on Moscow” (WaPo)
About friggin’ time.
“Russia mistakenly strikes own refinery in Moscow, sending massive roof through air like a flying saucer” (NY Post)
Too funny!
Memo to the Russian tyrant: Be careful what you wish for—karma is a bitch.
Meanwhile, another Kremlin critic is murdered…
“Russian artist critical of Vladimir Putin fatally shot execution-style in Poland” (NY Post)
There appears to be no cure for Mad Vlad’s addiction to invading neighbors, stealing their children, silencing critics, eliminating dissidents, poisoning defectors.
“The Anthony Fauci, COVID-19 origins cover-up runs ‘deep’ into our intelligence community” (Cali Post)
This piece is about documents declassified by Tulsi Gabbard before departing her post as Director of National Intelligence.
Remember when questioning the Wuhan lab was considered heresy?
Remember when discussing gain-of-function research was enough to earn accusations of spreading misinformation, followed by deletion and cancellation on social media?
Remember when suggesting U.S. taxpayer money might have found its way into risky coronavirus research in Wuhan was treated as the intellectual equivalent of claiming Elvis lives on Mars?
Funny how often yesterday’s “conspiracy theory” becomes tomorrow’s declassified document.
Kudos to the states that ignored Fauci’s nonsense, intentionally created by him to shield his complicity in Wuhan lab shenanigans.
He should be tarred and feathered.
And since that won’t happen, I hope he understands his legacy: warthog poop.
Meanwhile, Insider Washington responds with a hit piece on Tulsi Gabbard…
“Tulsi Gabbard, her guru and the mysterious messages that helped shape her political career” (Washington Post)
Such timing!
For years, Tulsi Gabbard was tolerated by Washington as an eccentric politician with unconventional views.
Then she became Director of National Intelligence and began declassifying documents that cast an uncomfortable light on intelligence-community conduct surrounding the Wuhan lab controversy and other politically sensitive matters.
Suddenly, we are treated to a massive exposé portraying her as a political puppet controlled by a secretive guru.
Could the allegations be true?
Perhaps.
Could they also be the latest instalment in Washington’s long-running tradition of discrediting inconvenient people?
Perhaps.
What is curious is that the same institution that showed little interest in examining the origins of COVID-19 now seems intensely interested in examining the origins of Tulsi Gabbard.
Speaking of The Washington Post and Insider Washington…
“How The Kids Learned To Love Richard Nixon” (Daily Wire)
“It’s frightening and terrifying and sad,” said Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks “It’s part of the whole process of history being rewritten and obliterated.”
Or maybe folks are beginning to realize Nixon may have gotten Watergated by a liberal mainstream media egged on (and leaked to) by Insider Washington.
Perhaps the military-industrial complex—as warned about by Eisenhower—did not like detente with Russia and an open door to China.
“Inside Gavin Newsom and wife’s $30M fortune: Homes, wineries, a gazillionaire patriarch – and the nonprofits under the microscope” (NY Post)
Governor Gruesome is under investigation over how he and his wife managed to amass so much moolah while following a career path supposedly based on “public service.”
Apparently (though not confirmed), these DOJ investigations are focused on…
1. According to multiple reports, one investigation is examining potential tax issues involving entities connected to Jennifer Siebel Newsom, including her nonprofit and business activities as a filmmaker and producer. Federal investigators have reportedly contacted associates, donors, former employees, and business contacts.
2. A second track reportedly concerns Dana Williamson, Newsom’s longtime former chief of staff, who recently pleaded guilty to federal charges involving fraud and corruption-related offenses.
3. Some reports suggest investigators have revisited allegations involving pay-to-play corporate donations, nonprofit activities, and relationships between donors, political influence, and organizations connected to the Newsom family.
“AI models that can take down governments and business months away, rare Five Eyes statement warns” (The Guardian)
“Five Eyes” are the intelligence services of the U.S., the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
The truly interesting part?
Trump has already acted, restricting foreign access to Anthropic’s most advanced AI models after officials concluded they could potentially be used to identify software vulnerabilities and accelerate cyberattacks.
Translation: Governments are finally acknowledging that the danger is real.
And intelligence services rarely issue warnings unless they believe the problem has already arrived.
“Leak Exposes Members of Peter Thiel’s Secretive ‘Dialog’ Society” (Wired)
For 20 years some of the world’s most influential people have been gathering in secret to discuss artificial intelligence, war, politics, longevity, social engineering, and the future of humanity.
The group examined artificial intelligence, global conflict, social organization, political movements, and the future direction of humanity.
No election or accountability.
History has always produced such gatherings.
The only thing that has changed is the dress code.
The Bilderberg globalists wore suits.
Today’s wannabe lords wear Patagonia vests.
Dialog members include:
Peter Thiel, the multi-billionaire ringleader and founder of Palantir
Elon Musk
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent
Sen. Ted Cruz
Rep. Jim Himes
Dan Driscoll, Undersecretary of the Army
NATO commander Alexus Grynkewich
Neal Mohan, YouTube CEO
Tom Lue, general counsel of Deep Mind (AI)
“Hollywood Names Surface in Peter Thiel-Backed, Invite-Only Society” (The Hollywood Reporter)
Since its inception in 2006, Dialog Society has quietly evolved into one of the least visible yet most influential gatherings of corporate chieftains, financiers, technologists, and political power brokers.
It now intends to establish a permanent campus in the Washington, D.C. suburbs as a dedicated venue for its off-the-record conclaves—and to extend its reach to government and Capitol Hill.
As for Hollywood, their biggest name is Josh Brolin.
In the application, the actor had to submit he wrote (bless him): “I grew up on a horse farm, climbed parts of Everest, given academy awards, been nominated, written a book, had former Poet laureates reach out, been friends with the greatest artists of our time and smoked crack under a car at 3am in San Francisco.”
Alas, The Dialog Society has a grading system—they gave Brolin a C. No sense of humor, they.
The best line in this piece: A spokesperson for Brolin says the actor would “like to know what the fuck he got himself into.”
And finally…
“Recurring Deep Space Transmission Puzzles Researchers” (Journal of Cosmic Anthropology)
What a week—whew!
“WE GIVE A HOOT!”
And you should too.
