Gates Focuses on Europe for Net Zero Aspirations

by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics:

Few know that Bill Gates heavily lobbied for the Inflation Reduction Act, which former President Joe Biden later admitted was intended to combat climate change and not inflation. Gates met with key lawmakers like Senator Joe Manchin ahead of the 2022 legislation. Another tool utilized by Gates was Breakthrough Energy, a venture fund he established in 2015 to promote net zero policies. The group recently laid off most of their employees in Washington, D.C., as Gates shifts methods for “climate” advocacy.

“We need to go from 51 billion tons of emissions per year to zero,” Breakthrough Energy stated on its website. “The only way to avoid the worst impacts of climate change is to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions from 51 billion tons a year, where they are now, to net-zero—and we need to do it by 2050. That means we need unprecedented technological transformations in almost every sector of modern life.”

Kremlin slams international reaction to Ukraine killing Russian journalists

from RT:

Many organizations “refuse” to respond, spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said

The international community’s failure to respond to the killings of Russian journalists by Ukraine is inexcusable, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday.

On Monday, three members of a Russian news crew were killed in a Ukrainian attack while reporting from the Lugansk People’s Republic.

The incident marked the latest in a series of deaths of Russian media workers since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022.

Germany Election 2025: Merz’s Plan Risks EU & US Economy

by Mitch Feierstein, News Max:

In 2024, the EU’s gross domestic product, which is the sum of the GDPs of its 27 member states, reached $19 trillion. The EU’s GDP makes it the world’s second-largest economy and it is the USA’s largest international trading partner. China’s GDP was approximately $18 trillion, making it the world’s third-largest economy, while the USA held the largest GDP at $29 trillion in 2024.

Germany is the EU’s largest driver of economic growth. Its GDP in 2023 was $4.6 trillion, Germany’s is the largest of the EU’s 27 member states.

President Trump is the first leader who is looking to rebuild trust with President Putin

by Ian Proud, Strategic Culture:

Western politicians and journalists constantly tell us that President Putin cannot be trusted, and that, under no circumstances should anyone strike a deal with him. But in response to that rhetorical question, I always ask, ‘do you think that he trusts us?’

Trust is a two way thing and it must be built on small gestures and mutual respect. And it is so much more complicated building trust with people of different cultures, languages and worldviews etc.

Right back in 2014, a colleague and friend in the Russian Presidential Administration told me that it would take at least a decade to rebuild the trust lost over the Maidan and Yanukovych’s ouster.

CONCERNING THAT ALLEGED DISCOVERY BENEATH THE GREAT PYRAMID

0

by Joseph P. Farrell, Giza Death Star:

Every regular reader of this website probably already knew that I would be blogging about this story this week. In fact, I think the website established a new unofficial record for the amount of people from all over the world who sent various versions of this story to me. So before we get down to my speculations and concerns about the story, a very big thank you to all of you who took the time to send various articles and links to it. If I were to follow my usual practice of listing the initials of people who did so in order to thank them for doing so, we’d be here all day, and I’d never get around to the actual story and commentary. So once again: a very big thank you to all of you. This website is, after all, named after the first three “Great Pyramid” books I did as a writer and author in the so-called “alternative research” community – The Giza Death Star trilogy, and the more recent “updated and revised version” of those books, The Giza Death Star Revisited.

Netanyahu After Deadliest Night Yet for Gazan Children: This is Just the Beginning

by Gerald Celente, Activist Post:

Israel Katz, the IDF head, says the ‘game has changed’ in Gaza

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is particularly bold these days because he owns the occupant inside the White House, warned Gazans that the airstrikes that killed at least 430 — including reportedly more than 130 children — has only just begun.

Netanyahu blamed Hamas for refusing to release the remaining Israeli hostages and said: “I promised you many times… if Hamas persists in its refusal and does not release our hostages, we will return to fighting. And indeed, we have returned to fighting – we have returned to fighting with intensity,” Haaretz reported.

‘It Was All For Nothing’: NBC News Laments Russia Retaking Kursk

by Chris Menahan, Information Liberation:

Ukraine’s invasion of Kursk was “all for nothing” now that Russia has pushed Ukrainian forces back to the border, according to NBC News’ Keir Simmons.

Netanyahu’s Desperate Gamble

by Harley Schlanger, LaRouche Organization:

As crowds gather on the streets of Israel to protest against the government of Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu, it is legitimate to ask which action of his are they protesting.  There are protests against his move to fire Shin Bet Director Ronen Bar; a renewed push for judicial reform, which drew hundreds of thousands into the streets before the October 7 Hamas attack; and breaking the Gaza ceasefire, once again killing Palestinians indiscriminately, before the remaining hostages are freed.

Is the UK undermining US peace with Russia?

by Lt. Steve Rogers, America Outloud:

The United Kingdom seems to be leading some sort of a charge to isolate the United States from continuing its efforts to build a peace treaty, or at least at this point, a cease-fire between Ukraine and Russia.

In the next few weeks, President Trump will be meeting with Vladimir Putin, and they will be discussing some of the give and take with regard to the problems that Ukraine and Russia are debating that can lead to a ceasefire and eventually to a lasting peace.

Yet, as that’s going on, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom decided that he’s going to have meetings with several European Union leaders and some NATO members to discuss a possible cease-fire agreement without U.S. input and, therefore, could sink everything the United States government is doing to end this war.

New Rocket Launches Put Israel & Hezbollah On Brink Of War Once Again

from ZeroHedge:

Is the Hezbollah-Israel ceasefire now also on the brink of collapse? Israel increasingly looks to be returning to war on multiple-fronts, as had previously been the case for well over a year in the wake of Oct.7.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced Saturday that it intercepted three projectiles fired from Lebanon, after six total were fired, with the other three having fallen short inside Lebanon.

The IDF responded with “a wave of airstrikes on dozens of Hezbollah rocket launchers” and a Hezbollah command center, a statement indicated.

Will Nuclear Deterrence Fail in the Middle East?

0

by Mark H. Gaffney, The Unz Review:

A week ago, University of Chicago professor John Mearsheimer delivered an outstanding lecture on a timely subject: Israel’s nuclear weapons program. Mearsheimer briefly reviewed the history, from the program’s inception in the mid-1950s to Israel’s first deployment of nukes sometime in 1966-67. He also discussed a related issue: former president Obama’s nuclear treaty with Iran (the JCPOA) that Benjamin Netanyahu worked so hard to scuttle, and which Donald Trump mooted in 2017 when he unilaterally pulled the US out of the deal. And Mearsheimer also spoke (with some obvious trepidation) about the logic of nuclear deterrence and its perfect record of success, to date, in averting a major war between members of the nuclear club.

Iran In the Crosshairs

by Mike Whitney, The Unz Review:

Trump’s foreign policy has been reduced to imperious demands, vulgar threats, and menacing growls. I figure Trump’s frustration of dealing with Putin will reach a peak just in time to coincide with the launch of a US/Israel air campaign against Iran. Will Schryver, military analyst

Trump’s push for a ceasefire in Ukraine has less to do with Ukraine than it does with Israel. In other words, Trump’s hasty negotiations with Putin are not aimed at ending the proxy war with Russia as much they are with shifting the frontlines from the Donbas to Iran. This ‘shift in focus’ has become glaringly apparent in the last week particularly in respect to Trump’s increasingly hostile statements towards Iran. On Tuesday, Trump threatened to hold the Islamic Republic responsible for any attacks by the Houthis on ships crossing the Red Sea. He said there would be “dire consequences” (for Iran) if the attacks continued. 

China’s space dogfighting: A new frontier in the battle for orbital dominance

by Willow Tohi, Natural News:

    • The U.S. Space Force revealed that China is practicing “dogfighting” maneuvers with satellites in low Earth orbit, using coordinated movements to inspect, stalk and potentially disable other satellites, signaling a growing threat to U.S. space infrastructure.
  • U.S. adversaries, particularly China and Russia, are rapidly closing the capability gap in space warfare, with China demonstrating advanced satellite maneuvering and Russia showcasing aggressive satellite stalking techniques.
