Edition No219 | 08-08-2025 - Today marks the deadline for Trump's latest “final warning” to Putin. The White House says that no date has been decided yet on the much-hyped last-minute Putin-Trump summit. Remember today is last date Trump set to reach a ceasefire in Ukraine. That deadline has blown past, apparently with no consequences whatsoever for the criminal in the Kremlin. In today's episode we examine the grim and urgent reality: the delusions of a negotiated peace, and the collapse of diplomacy into spectacle, farce even, covering Putin's maximalist war aims without accountability, stolen children, oil black markets, and a world where every handshake is transactional and every value is negotiable. The world of Trump, where there seem to be no consequences for terrible behaviour. We will navigate this moral abyss.Have you noticed how Putin managed to wriggle out of this deadline yet again? Trump's latest and ultimate ‘ultimatum' seems to have been handled using the same trick, the same sleight of hand as the previous awkward situations for Putin. Using the same playbook, he used back in May, which has worked like a charge to make the harsh deadlines melt away. Back then Ukraine and Europe were demanding an unconditional 30-day ceasefire. Back then, Trump and Putin tried to close Europe and Ukraine out of the so-called negotiations, and the same thing is happening now. Putin proposed holding a meeting in Istanbul instead of agreeing to a ceasefire — effectively knocking the sanction weapon out of his opponents' hands with a counterproposal. And here we are three months later, and the same trick is being used to achieve the same effect. Don't expect Putin to stop erasing Ukrainian cities, however. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------DESCRIPTION:Fake Peace Process: Trump's Deadline to Putin & The Political Theater of Ceasefire NegotiationsIn this episode of Silicon Bytes, we dive into the latest in the so-called peace process regarding the Russia war against Ukraine. As Trump's ceasefire deadline for Putin passes with no consequences, we examine the manipulation, deceit, and geopolitical theater at play. From fraudulent negotiations and broken promises, to the transactional dealings and machinations behind the scenes, we uncover the grim reality of diplomacy turned spectacle. Join us as we analyze the situation in depth, including the role of Putin's maximalist war aims, the exploitation of international meetings, and the ineffectiveness of ultimatums without enforcement.----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction to the Fake Peace Process00:22 Trump's Deadline and Its Aftermath01:14 The Grim Reality of Diplomacy01:53 Putin's Strategic Maneuvers04:13 The Illusion of Sovereignty04:33 From Ultimatum to Appeasement06:38 The Worthless Ceasefire Proposal09:03 Human Rights and Hypocrisy11:12 The Absurdity of Diplomacy15:02 Conclusion and Next Steps----------SOURCES: https://thehill.com/policy/international/5442747-john-bolton-donald-trump-vladimir-putin-meeting/ https://www.nbcnews.com/world/russia/russia-putin-trump-meeting-confirmed-ukraine-rcna223572 https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/08/07/putin-trump-summit-meeting-ukraine/ https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1e02q12z32o ----------

In this unapologetic and wildly entertaining episode, Shipwreck unloads on the state of SNAP benefits, EBT misuse, and what she calls the "sugar prohibition" rolling out across multiple states. From viral Walmart clips to fiery rebuttals of entitlement culture, she calls out the laziness and lack of personal responsibility that's feeding America's obesity crisis. But the real heat comes for Nancy Mace, with a scathing roast that spirals into a wider critique of Congress, Israel trips, and the clown show in D.C. Expect sharp jabs at universal healthcare hypocrisy, a breakdown of taxpayer frustration, and even some thoughts on “Black Jesus,” WNBA drama, and haunted dolls. It's a full Shipwreck ride, raw, funny, and ferociously honest.

In this episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Alpha Warrior cover a wide range of breaking stories and buried truths shaping the information war. They open with Donald Trump's latest Truth Social post, tying it to broader concerns about political persecution and media distraction tactics. The hosts highlight a chilling interview with whistleblower Edward Snowden on global surveillance, prompting deeper questions about digital control and government overreach. Updates on the Hunter Biden laptop investigation and the inconsistencies in the Secret Service's handling of the White House cocaine case further expose institutional failures. Special guest Shipwreck joins for a powerful segment dissecting media spin, election narrative shifts, and the psychological operations used to shape public perception. The show also covers the recent assassination attempt on Trump, rising tensions in the Taiwan Strait, and questions surrounding swing-state election integrity. From Google's AI-based censorship tools to the climate change agenda, CannCon, and Alpha connect the dots on how propaganda and fear are deployed to maintain control. As always, the episode blends sharp analysis, humor, and a rallying cry to stay vigilant.

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we are joined with Juliette Bryant, a courageous survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's vile sex trafficking operation. Lured by the promise of a modeling career, Juliette was instead ensnared in a web of calculated evil. She was abused, exploited, and flown to Epstein's private island where countless others suffered the same fate.This is more than a scandal. It is a moral reckoning. And yet, the full, unredacted Epstein list, containing the names of powerful men who enabled or participated in this wickedness, remains sealed. Why is that?Donald Trump promised the American people he would release it. Now, he mocks those demanding it, calling us “bad people” and “weaklings.” Well, it's actually bad and weak to fail to release the Epstein list, Mr. President. But we will not be intimidated. The righteous are commanded to expose darkness, not negotiate with it. Trump's evasiveness increasingly resembles guilt. It's certainly not strong leadership.We will not be silenced. Not by politicians, not by media, and not by fear. We demand the truth.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOoq6zS6i2LVAaJq4sRAuJqL9WZWgV03ccH9c4dufm2XMD0ozmV5S

In Episode 102 of Breaking History, Ghost delivers a scathing, unfiltered analysis of today's political landscape, from Joe Biden's unraveling presidency to the establishment's panicked response to Trump's return.

(Jun 19, 2025) New York state primaries are coming next Tuesday. In Watertown, eight candidates are vying for two spots on the city council. Many of them say they're running because they're tired of infighting within local government there. Also: A state bill that would require some social media platforms to carry warning labels about their health risks passed with bipartisan support.

In this explosive broadcast, Tara Servatius uncovers bombshell allegations that the FBI actively destroyed intelligence reports exposing a Chinese plot to interfere in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. According to whistleblower revelations, fake U.S. driver's licenses were allegedly mass-produced using TikTok-harvested American data to generate fraudulent mail-in ballots benefiting Joe Biden. Tara breaks down how these reports were buried and scrubbed from FBI systems—raising serious questions about corruption and cover-ups inside federal agencies. But that's not all. In a bizarre twist of political theater, Democrat NYC mayoral candidate Brad Lander stages what appears to be a fake arrest—grabbing an ICE agent's arm in a publicity stunt to accuse Trump of dictatorship. Tara exposes how Democrats are manufacturing Gestapo moments to feed media narratives and distract from their own misconduct. From the FBI's perjury to staged outrage on the streets of New York, this episode delivers jaw-dropping insights into America's new political playbook.

In today's episode, we examine the intensifying public rift between Elon Musk and Donald Trump. The catalyst? Trump's recently proposed “Big Beautiful Bill” which notably removes federal subsidies that have historically benefited Musk's ventures. Elon has not remained silent, and tensions escalated further when he retaliated by implying that Trump is listed among Jeffrey Epstein's known associates, suggesting this as the reason the full client list remains sealed.Major accusation.Is this an authentic ideological clash, or a calculated distraction? What are the political implications, and who truly benefits from this spectacle? Let's dissect the rhetoric, analyze the deeper motives, and apply biblical clarity in the midst of all of the chaos.—https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOopJ1q_VkwFOO-Q2RCLoc1uzsHwAP4yh-_ZFG-r8_S9idICTj6nR

In this high-energy sixth episode of Quite Frankly, host Frankie Val takes listeners on a whirlwind tour through geopolitics, Catholic intrigue, and the collapsing credibility of the media and political establishment. He kicks off with personal stories from Liberation Day and family life before diving into an illuminating conversation with nutritionist Jay Gulanello and rancher Eric Perner on the life-saving potential of regenerative agriculture. Frankie then brings in polling expert Rich Barris for a deep-dive conversation that spans the papal election of Leo XIV, the weaponization of immigration by the Catholic Church, the captured U.S. Senate, and Trump's under-the-radar victories, like the UK trade deal and a seismic political grovel by new Canadian PM Mark Carney. The duo discusses GOP corruption, the rise of populism, the deep state's entrenchment, and why Trump's executive orders may be laying the groundwork for dismantling the bloated federal bureaucracy. The episode peaks with a gripping theological and political breakdown with Timothy Gordon, analyzing the selection of the new pope, Francis' court-packing strategy, the Lavender Mafia's influence, and whether the Vatican is being manipulated to fall in line with globalist aims. From Fatima to Windswept House to the legacy of Pope John Paul I, it's a firehose of Catholic lore, conspiracy, and sobering reality. Add in some wild sidebars on UFOs, secret societies, and prophetic Marian visions, and you've got a two-hour tour de force of unapologetic conversation, cultural reflection, and critical analysis you won't hear anywhere else. This is Quite Frankly at full throttle.

White returns with sharp analysis on the latest political chaos, breaking down Trump's masterful global maneuvering, the media's desperate attempts to stoke division, and why some conservatives are getting lost in the weeds. He takes on the Pam Bondi outrage, the Epstein file distractions, and the supposed friction between Trump and Elon...spoiler alert, it's all noise. Meanwhile, Andrew Tate's legal battles expose deeper rifts in the MAGA movement, and the establishment's panic over Trump's reshaping of power is becoming impossible to ignore. From Ukraine's place in the global chess match to the Supreme Court's latest mess, J.B. doesn't hold back. Stay strong, stay sharp, and tune in for a no-nonsense breakdown of the road ahead.
