This week's show features stories from Radio Deutsche-Welle, NHK Japan, France 24, and Radio Havana Cuba. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr260130.mp3 (29:00) From GERMANY- For a second time Trump has officially withdrawn the US from the Paris Agreement, a global accord aiming to limit climate change. Henna Hundal, a researcher at Stanford School of Medicine discusses the consequences of this decision. When Trump withdrew near the end of his first term, Biden immediately rejoined. The unknown next president will not be in office for 3 years and their inclinations are uncertain. From JAPAN- Japan, like the US, is currently experiencing extreme snow and cold weather. Sales of new electric vehicles in the EU are rising rapidly. Trump threatened a 100% tariff on Canada if it makes a trade deal with China. Trump hinted at a secret new weapon used by the US military in the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Maduro and the first lady. Zelensky says his goal is to kill or wound 50,000 Russian soldiers per month. From FRANCE- Press reviews on the US pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement, the Doomsday clock is moved closer than ever to global destruction, the cost of ICE and American violence, and immigration policy in Spain. An interview on Netanyahu declaring that there will never be a Palestinian state in the Gaza Strip. From CUBA- A recent survey in Europe found that the majority see the US President Trump as an enemy rather than a friend and ally. Russia says they are concerned about reports that the US wants to blockade oil supplies to Cuba. Doctors Without Borders says Israel is running a defamation campaign against them in order to prevent them from providing assistance to the people of Palestine.

Day 1,435.Today, as President Zelensky warns that Russia is preparing “a new massive strike”, we examine growing speculation that an undeclared truce may be in place regarding strikes on energy infrastructure. We then turn to the Russian press, where a local war memorial in the Urals appears to have inadvertently revealed the true scale of Russian casualties, and an unlikely scandal involving a baker that has caused fresh embarrassment for Vladimir Putin. And finally, we report on the launch of a new blood bank aimed at alleviating Ukraine's mounting medical crises.ContributorsFrancis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dominic Nicholls (Associate Editor of Defence). @DomNicholls on X.James Kilner (Foreign Correspondent). @jkjourno on X.With thanks to Toby Illingworth (Founder & Head of Mission for Yashchenko Foundation). @tobyillingworthSIGN UP TO THE ‘UKRAINE: THE LATEST' WEEKLY NEWSLETTER:http://telegraph.co.uk/ukrainenewsletter Each week, Dom Nicholls and Francis Dearnley answer your questions, provide recommended reading, and give exclusive analysis and behind-the-scenes insights – plus maps of the frontlines and diagrams of weapons to complement our daily reporting.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Master Sgt. Ran Gvili, the final hostage that was kept in Gaza, is buried today. Last night, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a wide-ranging press conference, during which he raised unusual allegations against the Biden administration. We hear from Berman about the mood in the room and the premier's two remaining foci -- dismantling Hamas’s weapons and demilitarizing Gaza of arms and tunnels. During the press conference, Berman asked Netanyahu about the changing rhetoric out of Saudi Arabia, which is increasingly aligning itself with actors such as Pakistan and Turkey. We learn what the premier had to say. Yesterday, International Holocaust Remembrance Day was observed across the world. January 27 marks the anniversary of the liberation by Soviet forces of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the most notorious of the Nazi German death camps. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky marked the day at the Babyn Yar ravine outside of Kyiv, where Nazis and their collaborators murdered more than 33,000 Jews in a two-day rampage in 1941. Berman weighs in. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates. For further reading: Netanyahu: Israeli soldiers lost their lives in Gaza due to Biden-era arms embargo Netanyahu: No Gaza rebuild before Hamas disarms, Israel will keep ‘security control’ over Gaza Netanyahu: If Saudis want deal, we expect them not to align with anti-Israel forces Zelensky, flanked by Ukrainian rabbis, marks Holocaust Remembrance Day at Babyn Yar Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff is back with a special bonus pod featuring Paul's full appearance on MSNBC's Nightcap with Stephanie Ruhle's 11th Hour, bringing an independent, patriotic, candid, action-focused perspective into the cable news crossfire. Drawing on his experience as founder of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America and host of this show, Paul explains why “we are no longer the good guys” in the eyes of many around the world and how Trump's behavior is shredding decades of trust with allies who fought and bled alongside us in places like Afghanistan and Iraq, including furious NATO partners such as Denmark and Norway. He breaks down how the scheme to “take” Greenland could have triggered NATO's Article 5 against the United States and why veterans across the globe are speaking out. Paul warns that Trump is “all gas, no brakes,” charting a plan to dominate America in 2025 and the Western Hemisphere in 2026 while Congress and traditional guardrails fail to stop him. He details the real risk of abusing the Insurrection Act, deploying federal forces against Americans at home, and turning law enforcement into a political weapon against citizens, veterans, cops, and kids—arguing that if it can happen to them, it can happen to you. He also dives into Trump's war on the media and the truth itself, drawing a direct line from attacks on NPR, the Washington Post, CNN, and Stars and Stripes to efforts to twist TikTok and X into the most powerful propaganda machines on the planet, with TikTok's ownership split between Trump allies and Chinese interests creating both a national security crisis and an information warfare nightmare. Amid looming snowstorms at home, Paul contrasts Trump's dishonorable conduct with the courage of President Zelensky and the resilience of the Ukrainian people, who endure a daily storm of drones, missiles, and freezing conditions in the name of freedom. He argues that Zelensky is showing the kind of leadership America once modeled—and that we can and must learn from that example right now. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

This week, Walter and Jeremy discuss why the mood at Davos this year went from denial to fear, why the United States has never been both so unpopular and so dominant there, and what Trump and Zelensky's speeches revealed about the state of the Western alliance.
2026-01-23 | UPDATES #111 | Zelensky blasts Europe's inaction, in a fiery speech at Davos, as Russia “weaponizes winter” cutting power, light and heat to millions of Ukrainians, in the depth of the worst winter the country has seen in decades. Has the enemy's “energy genocide” broken his diplomatic posture? Is he justified in calling out the hubris, complacency and lack of urgency amongst Ukraine's allies – inaction that is contributing to Ukraine ‘bleeding out' on the home front and the front lines, in a way that is entirely preventable? In this episode, we ask if there is any difference in terms of substance between Vance who screamed to Zelenskyy's face, in the Oval Office, about not showing gratitude and being disrespectful, and between the European diplomats, analysts and journalists, that say the same, but in muted tones and behind Ukraine's back. How are the discrete murmurings of disapproval from certain quarters in Europe, hinting at Zelenskys's inappropriate tone, and unseemly directness, really difference from what Vance said, in terms of substance? Those same diplomats and politicians will say there is all the difference in the world – but it's rank hypocrisy and hubris, revealing a lack of imagination and leadership. Because these are the same sentiments, that same self-righteous wounded pride on display, the same manipulations of narratives and sentiments, designed to reinforce the idea that Ukraine is a second-tier ally, and how dare they speak out at our generosity that enables them to bleed on, but not win, stay in the fight to keep the Russian horde from our doorstep, but not to achieve victory. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: Reuters — Davos: Quotes from Zelensky's speech criticising Europe (Jan 22, 2026).

Today, Morgan, Les, Matthew, and Jess discuss the latest diplomatic push around Ukraine, following a flurry of high-level meetings at Davos and beyond. President Trump and President Zelensky met for more than an hour as the World Economic Forum wrapped up, while Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff traveled to Russia to meet with Vladimir Putin. For the first time since the war began, American, Ukrainian, and Russian officials are now slated to meet face-to-face in Abu Dhabi to discuss military and security issues, raising questions about whether momentum toward a negotiated settlement is finally building.But are we actually any closer to peace? What would it take for Putin to seriously engage, given his repeated rejection of past proposals and the political risks he faces at home? Is Trump's increasingly tough rhetoric a signal of leverage, hinting at greater military support for Ukraine if diplomacy fails, or a strategy to give Putin a face-saving off-ramp? @morganlroach@lestermunson@WMattHayden@NotTVJessJonesLike what we're doing here?

Terwijl er weer wordt onderhandeld over een bestand in Oekraïne, maakt het land de strengste winter in jaren mee. En Rusland grijpt dat aan om te proberen de bevolking te breken, door opnieuw de energie-infrastructuur aan te vallen. Vooral hoofdstad Kyiv moet het ontgelden, met de ene luchtaanval na de andere. Volgens president Zelensky zitten nu al meer dan een miljoen huishoudens zonder stroom. En heel veel mensen hebben geen verwarming. Wim Borremans woont in Kyiv. Hij vertelt in de podcast hoe de stad toch nog functioneert, en hoe het dagelijks leven eruit ziet. NOS-correspondent Christiaan Paauwe vertelt vanuit Kyiv waarom het niet meer lukt om de energievoorzieningen goed draaiende te houden, en wat de verwachtingen voor de komende tijd zijn. Reageren?

Today, President Trump has wrapped up his second and final day at the World Economic Forum in Davos. The President held an inauguration for his new “Board of Peace” and met with Ukraine's President Zelensky - which Zelensky said included agreeing post-war security guarantees for his country. BBC chief North America correspondent Gary O'Donoghue and the Economist's Shashank Joshi break it all down. And the former Labour Minister Andrew Gwynne confirmed his plans to retire on medical grounds triggering a by-election that could pave the way for Andy Burnham to run and ultimately launch a leadership challenge against Keir Starmer. Political correspondent Joe Pike joins Adam to explain why polticos have been speculating. You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.

US president Donald Trump has launched his Board of Peace - promising a new era of peace for the Middle East and beyond.The board is part of Trump's 20-point plan to end the Israel-Hamas war. The UK says will not yet be signing up the board over concerns about Russian leader Vladimir Putin's possible participation. We'll ask how it will work -- and get the view of a former top UN official.Also in the programme: Can President Trump pressure President Zelensky over concessions to Russia?; and we'll have the latest on a landslide in New Zealand.(Photo shows US president Donald Trump taking part in an announcement for his Board of Peace initiative in Davos, Switzerland on 22 January2026.

No 3 em 1 desta quinta-feira (22), o destaque foi o lançamento oficial do Conselho da Paz pelo presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, durante o Fórum Econômico Mundial, em Davos. O republicano afirmou que o grupo será mais rápido, ágil e menos burocrático, em uma crítica indireta à atuação da ONU, e destacou que será o único integrante do Conselho com poder de veto. Reportagem de Eliseu Caetano. Ainda em Davos, o presidente da Ucrânia, Volodymyr Zelensky, confirmou a realização de um encontro diplomático entre representantes da Rússia, da Ucrânia e dos Estados Unidos. O líder ucraniano afirmou que a guerra está próxima do fim e, ao contextualizar com a crise na Venezuela, declarou: “Maduro será julgado, Putin não”. Reportagem de Luca Bassani. A revista The Economist publicou uma imagem que faz alusão aos presidentes Donald Trump e Vladimir Putin, abordando a temática da anexação de territórios. A montagem relaciona os contextos envolvendo a Groenlândia e a Ucrânia, levantando discussões sobre ambições territoriais e posturas diplomáticas das duas potências no cenário internacional. Na área econômica, o vice-presidente e ministro Geraldo Alckmin (PSB) afirmou que os recentes percalços no acordo entre Mercosul e União Europeia serão superados. Segundo ele, o Congresso Nacional deve acelerar a tramitação do tratado para garantir a implementação das novas diretrizes comerciais. Reportagem de Janaína Camelo. Com exclusividade à Jovem Pan, o presidente nacional do PL, Valdemar Costa Neto, negou qualquer tensão entre a família Bolsonaro e o governador de São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos). Valdemar classificou os rumores de racha como “fofoca” e reforçou que o governador segue integrado ao grupo político do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL). Nos bastidores, Tarcísio de Freitas teria sido aconselhado a manter distância dos atos e da caminhada liderada pelo deputado Nikolas Ferreira (PL) até Brasília. A orientação busca evitar que a participação seja interpretada como uma afronta ao Judiciário, o que poderia comprometer negociações envolvendo medidas como a prisão domiciliar de Jair Bolsonaro. No governo federal, diversos ministros devem deixar seus cargos nos próximos meses para disputar as eleições de 2026. A ministra das Relações Institucionais, Gleisi Hoffmann, confirmou a pré-candidatura ao Senado pelo estado do Paraná. Reportagem de André Anelli. O Supremo Tribunal Federal analisa a possibilidade de devolver à primeira instância o processo que envolve o Banco Master. A movimentação ocorre após episódios de desgaste institucional relacionados à tramitação do caso na Suprema Corte. Reportagem de Janaína Camelo. Na área fiscal, a Receita Federal informou que a arrecadação fechou 2025 em R$ 2,88 trilhões, o maior valor registrado em 31 anos. O resultado representa um crescimento real de 3,65% em relação ao ano anterior. Tudo isso e muito mais você acompanha no 3 em 1. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As Moscow says peace talks to end the war in Ukraine have begun, President Zelensky launched a strident attack against his European allies at Davos for being in ‘Greenland mode' and failing to take action independently of the US. We hear from a correspondent who's spent time on the front line in the Donbas. Also on the programme: Westminster is flung into speculation as a Manchester seat is to become vacant, potentially giving Andy Burnham a route back into parliament. And mysterious organisms that dominated the ancient landscape: once thought to be fungi, now scientists at the University of Edinburgh believe they are part of a distinct evolutionary branch of life.

Si apre la seconda giornata del World Economic Forum di Davos, che riunisce circa 3.000 partecipanti da 130 Paesi, tra cui 65 capi di Stato e di governo e 850 leader dell'economia globale. Donald Trump è intervenuto per la prima volta dopo sei anni, con un discorso segnato da toni duri verso l'Europa. Sulla Groenlandia ha escluso l'uso della forza, chiedendo però l'avvio immediato di negoziati e avvertendo che "si ricorderà" di chi si opporrà. Ha poi affrontato i rapporti transatlantici, rilanciando provocazioni verso la Francia, annunciando un incontro con il presidente ucraino Zelensky e difendendo l'uso dei dazi come strumenti punitivi. Sulla NATO ha ribadito l'adesione degli Stati Uniti, esprimendo però dubbi sulla reciprocità dell'impegno europeo. Trump è arrivato con una delegazione particolarmente ampia, che include il segretario di Stato Marco Rubio, il segretario al Tesoro Scott Bessent, il responsabile del Commercio Howard Lutnick e l'inviato speciale Steve Witkoff: secondo il presidente del WEF Børge Brende, la più consistente degli ultimi anni.Il Forum si svolge in un clima profondamente diverso rispetto al passato: i temi "woke", come diversità e inclusione, sono stati di fatto marginalizzati, riflettendo una crescente polarizzazione globale e la competizione tra grandi potenze, riassunta dal tema ufficiale A Spirit of Dialogue. È inoltre il primo Davos senza Klaus Schwab alla guida: dopo le sue dimissioni, la governance è passata a una leadership ad interim con Larry Fink e André Hoffmann, mentre Brende ricopre il ruolo di presidente e amministratore delegato.Nessun aggiornamento sulla presenza della premier Giorgia Meloni, che sta valutando l'invito di Trump a entrare nel Board of Peace per Gaza; tra le ipotesi, una partecipazione al summit senza firmare immediatamente la carta istitutiva. Approfondiamo il tutto con: Gianluca Di Donfrancesco, Il Sole 24 Ore e con Marco Magnani, Professore di International Economics, LUISS Guido Carli.Passa il blitz al PE contro il Mercosur, l'accordo va alla Corte UEIl Parlamento europeo ha deciso di chiedere alla Corte di Giustizia dell'Unione europea un parere giuridico sull'accordo di partenariato tra UE e Mercosur, firmato dopo oltre 25 anni di negoziati. La mozione è stata approvata con una maggioranza risicatissima e sostenuta da sinistra, verdi e liberali. Il ricorso alla Corte non blocca l'applicazione provvisoria dell'accordo, già decisa dal Consiglio, che scatterà però solo dopo la ratifica da parte di almeno uno dei quattro Paesi coinvolti: Brasile, Argentina, Paraguay e Uruguay.La richiesta di parere giuridico viene letta da molti come un tentativo politico di indebolire l'intesa, che punta a rafforzare l'influenza economica europea in Sud America in un contesto di crescenti tensioni globali. Mentre il mondo industriale guarda con favore alle nuove opportunità commerciali, il settore agricolo europeo esprime forti preoccupazioni. Una seconda mozione, presentata dai partiti di destra con lo stesso obiettivo, è stata invece bocciata. La decisione del Parlamento rinvia di fatto il voto di ratifica, inizialmente previsto tra febbraio e aprile. Esponenti della sinistra e dei verdi hanno rivendicato il risultato come una vittoria politica e una riaffermazione del ruolo dello Stato di diritto a livello europeo. Ne discutiamo con Adriana Cerretelli, editorialista Il Sole 24 Ore - Bruxelles.
Assieme al giornalista Giampiero Gramaglia abbiamo raccontato il primo anno del secondo mandato del tycoon alla Casa Bianca usando le istantanee più emblematiche, dalla foto in Vaticano con Zelensky a quella di Kristy Noem davanti ai detenuti seminudi di El Salvador.
President Zelensky's bold address to Congress was a reminder that great leaders are not ordained but forged by circumstance. President Zelensky answered the call when his nation needed him most. The question now is whether President Biden can meet those expectations while stopping short of committing the US to World War III. We'll break it all down for you as usual. Miles Taylor joins Michael to discuss how it all breaks down politically.
A tabloid brands Zelensky's Christmas address a “black mass,” complete with glassy eyes, hidden codes, and a trance to “hack the noosphere” to cast a death curse on Putin. Huh? What? Why are occult narratives creeping from the fringe into Russia's mainstream? And, for that matter, why are notions such that Russia is now in the grip of a "nihilistic death cult" also warping Western thinking? A trip deep down into a bizarre rabbit-hole.The Moskovsky Komsomolets article I discuss is here.Earlier episodes of this podcast touching on some of these issues are In Moscow's Shadows 41: The Communist Party Embattled...And Occultism and Russian Politics (4 Aug. 2021) and In Moscow's Shadows 186: Why is Putin's Russia so Prone to Conspiracy Theories?

2026-01-15 | UPDATES #100 | Sergey Karaganov appears on Tucker Carlson — it's a match made in hell – and they talked about nuclear blackmail, Europe as the enemy, and how the Kremlin may be forced to save humanity and civilisation, by wiping out Europe in a nuclear firestorm. Yes, he said that. Sergey Karaganov — a long-time Moscow foreign-policy heavyweight and nuclear-escalation enthusiast — sat down with Tucker Carlson and did what Kremlin ideologues do best: talk about erasing Ukraine, recasting the war as Russia versus “evil Europe,” and then floated an escalatory ladder that ends in nuclear strikes on European states.And yes, he said the loud bit out even louder: “Europe will be taken away from the map of the humanity.” Let's break down what he threatened, why Karaganov matters, but not in the way that he wants us to believe, and how this fits the Kremlin's intimidation cycle — especially as it comes on the day when Trump (once more) publicly blamed Zelensky for stalled talks while Russia and kept on hitting Ukrainian civilians and energy infrastructure.----------SOURCES: Tucker Carlson interview transcript (The Singju Post, Jan 2026): Karaganov's “map of humanity” line and UK/Germany targeting remarks. upday (UK edition, Jan 15, 2026): summary of Karaganov's threat framing (note: page labels itself AI-generated). Reuters (Jan 15, 2026): Trump says Zelensky is holding up a deal; Zelensky responds reaffirming Ukraine's commitment to peace.

I ugens Radio Information taler vi både om den tilspidsede konflikt med USA, den blodige opstand i Iran, en ny dokumentarfilm om George Orwell – og så er Cavlingprisen igen kommet hjem til Information. --- En knytnævehilsen og en lettelsens smøg blev billedet på ugens skæbnemøde mellem kongeriget Danmark og USA, der gik så godt, som man realistisk kunne have håbet. Lars Løkke Rasmussen og Vivian Motzfeldt undgik Zelensky-agtige scener ved mødet med JD Vance og Marco Rubio, men uenighederne består, det amerikanske synspunkt er intakt og konflikten er langt fra løst. Så hvad gør Danmark herfra? Lars Trier Mogensen analyserer. I Iran vokser den folkelige opstand mod det forhadte regime dag for dag. Mindst 2.500 iranere formodes at have mistet livet, og flere end 10.000 menes arresteret, siden demonstrationerne begyndte d. 28. december. Samtidig truer Trump med en militær intervention, der kan hamre det sidste søm i ayatollahernes ligkiste. Men hvem skal så tage over? Rune Lykkeberg udlægger perspektiverne i et muligt iransk regimeskifte. Hvis man i løbet af det seneste år har siddet foran sit tv og stirret vantro ind i en nyhedsstrøm præget af fake news og autoritære strømninger, har man muligvis også undervejs nået at tænke: 'Det er jo helt orwellsk!' Nu har den anerkendte instruktør Raoul Peck så i en ny dokumentarfilm sat sig for at vise, præcis hvor profetisk George Orwell faktisk var. Anita Brask Rasmussen har anmeldt filmen, der overbeviser om forfatterens skarpsindighed, men ikke nødvendigvis om instruktørens. Og endelig kigger avisens to nykårede Cavling-prisvindere, Lasse Skou Andersen og Sebastian Gjerding, forbi. For ja, de tog den sgu, landets fineste journalistpris, for – sammen med kolleger fra Danwatch – at have afsløret, hvordan dansk militært udstyr er endt i Israel og blevet brugt i bombningen af Gaza. De fortæller om deres nu prisvindende arbejde sidst i programmet.
Day 1,421.Today, as President Zelensky declares a national emergency over the energy crisis triggered by Russian attacks on Ukraine's infrastructure, we ask what Europe's strategy is now, before examining reports Russia has forced African recruits into suicide missions on the battlefield.

However, listen to how President Trump himself describes the USMCA or CUSMA as the Snow Mexicans like to call it. Trump is completely nonplussed about what is going to happen.

The formal indictment states that Lin and his accomplices allegedly facilitated the transfer of tens of millions of dollars obtained from the sale of fentanyl, cocaine, and methamphetamine in the United States back to Mexico, through an opaque financial chain involving cash purchases of electronic goods and shipments to Asian countries. According to the case filed in federal court in Cincinnati, between 2022 and 2024, Mexican drug-trafficking groups hired this organization to handle the cash generated from drug sales within U.S. territory. The procedure described includes handing over large amounts of physical cash to third parties, who used the funds to buy electronic products. Once the receipt of these goods was confirmed, payment was sent to Mexico through mirror transactions, after deducting a commission. Partial records indicate that at least $27.4 million in cash was moved through this network. The indictment, which includes charges of conspiracy to launder money and concealment of funds, indicates that the alleged operator could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted by a federal court.

The whole starter kit. The guy, Marton Benedek, was sitting inside EU institutions while sketching out a roadmap for protests, messaging, fundraising, even something that reads a lot like a shadow government. He talks openly about building a permanent coordination hub to challenge Orban's rule. This was an EU migration and security official, with deep access and zero plausible deniability, not just some street activist. The early effort flopped. The party he helped build face-planted electorally. But the playbook didn't disappear. It just waited. Fast forward and suddenly a brand-new figure, Peter Magyar, drops out of nowhere, gets wall-to-wall Western media love, runs a campaign with serious money and polish, keeps his ideology vague, stays aggressively pro-EU, and rockets to the top of the polls. No clear funding trail. No real policy spine. But momentum. The uncomfortable part for Brussels isn't whether Orban is good or bad. It's that this confirms what his supporters have said for years: The EU doesn't just pressure governments. It actively works around them when they won't comply. Rule of law language on the surface. Regime-management instincts underneath. If this were Russia doing it, headlines would be screaming “foreign interference.” When it's Brussels, it's called cooperation. https://twitter.com/nypost/status/2011184281989595612?s=20 ‘Going to Be a Big Problem for Him’: Trump Smacks Down Greenland PM After He Says He ‘Chooses Denmark' President Trump isn’t playing around when it comes to the United States taking control of Greenland, and he just sent a warning shot to the island’s prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, that Nielsen’s continued resistance is “going to be a big problem for him.” Greenland’s PM and other regional authorities downplay the possibility of a hostile takeover of the island by Russia or China, Denmark’s Danish Defense Intelligence Service (DDIS) recently released a pointed assessment of Russian and Chinese military ambitions for Greenland and the Arctic. But the “Intelligence Outlook 2025” report on the security of the Kingdom of Denmark, released just last month, had warned at great length that “China is preparing for a military presence in the Arctic” and that “China's long-term Arctic interests include Greenland.” The report highlighted Chinese air-based, seaborne, and submersible activities in the Arctic. The Danish intelligence report had further assessed that the militaries of China and Russia were collaborating more closely in the Arctic, displaying the growing “DragonBear” alliance between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Internet. Movement. Markets. Hospitals. Schools. Universities. Media. Everything monitored. Arrests are ramping up. Violence is escalating. Using “civil war” language on unarmed protesters and locking down daily life (not to mention the internet for almost a week now), says one thing only. It's about crushing momentum before it spreads. Musk Stands Up Against the Ayatollahs, as Iranian Regime Cracks Down on Starlink Terminals, Deploys Military-Grade Jammers Against Sole Internet Option for Protesters At the beginning of the massive popular demonstrations in Iran, Elon Musk took the bold initiative of providing free Starlink services for the protestors. A few days in, Iran shut down the Internet in the entire country. For the first time since 2019, a nationwide blackout was imposed, disrupting phone networks and landline telephones. Starlink became the sole web outlet for protesters to get informed, communicate, and share the images of the momentous developments with the world. It didn't take long for the brutal Iranian regime to crack down on Starlink terminals, arrest ‘terrorist' users, and deploy military-grade jammers to impede the functioning of the service. Now, reports say SpaceX engineers are hard at work to bypass the jamming and give protesters a voice, again.

That is demographic manipulation. When law enforcement records misclassify race and suppress immigration status, the downstream effect is predictable. Crime statistics are distorted. Public understanding is corrupted. Accountability disappears. Police departments know exactly why this is done. Federal crime data is aggregated by race. When offenders who are foreign nationals are reclassified into domestic racial categories, the real source patterns are buried. The public is then fed a sanitized dataset that supports preselected talking points. This is not about one case. It is about how the books are cooked so trends can never be honestly discussed. News outlets compound the deception. They repeat the arrest sheet verbatim, never asking why immigration status is missing, never questioning implausible physical descriptors, never pressing the department for clarification. The omission is the story, and they deliberately ignore it. That is not journalism. That is information control. If the individual were a citizen, the records would say so. If the individual were legally present, that status would be highlighted immediately. Silence only appears when the truth is politically inconvenient. That silence protects institutions, not victims. Two teenagers are dead, and the system's first instinct was not transparency, but insulation. This is exactly why public trust is collapsing. People are not stupid. They can see when reality does not match the paperwork. When law enforcement manipulates categories and media outlets run interference, the public correctly concludes that the truth is being managed rather than reported. The question is simple. If the data were honest, why hide it. If the classification were accurate, why does it defy common sense. If transparency mattered, why was immigration status erased. This is not incompetence. It is intent. https://twitter.com/TheStormRedux/status/2011214982881386564?s=20 Solomon & Emmer on his podcast today.

Here is what Tom said, “Hey, everyone. Huge news. Judicial Watch lawsuits led to the cleanup of 4 million dirty names from the voting rolls in just the last two years or so. But there's more heavy lifting to be done for cleaner elections. That's why Judicial Watch just sued the state of Oregon to force it to finally clean up its voting rolls, which are a mess. Federal law requires states to take reasonable steps to clean up their voting rolls, and Oregon hasn't been doing that. In fact, our new lawsuit, Just Filed For and With the Constitution Party of Oregon and Oregon Voters, details how 29 of Oregon's 36 counties removed few or no registrations as required by federal election law. Oregon and 35 of its counties had overall registration rates exceeding 100%. Frankly, Oregon has the highest known inactive registration rate of any state in the nation. Dirty voting rolls can mean dirty elections.

It's because Trump is getting close to ending the Democrat Party as we know it. Without illegals voting in their districts, they face extinction.
