In February 2026, I recorded a conversation I had with Peter Thiel and J D Vance's 'guru' Curtis Yarvin He revealed a lot of information which could destroy Trump, Vance & Thiel Not ONE person in the global press or US Democrats even wants to listen to it What hope is there with this attitude? 🤦‍♂️

What is being done to Major Watson is wrong. I can tell you that his situation is worse than being reported (even here) I don't want to say more because I don't want to make things worse for him. Please pressure your Representatives to stand up for him. Call them. Write them and text PFEJON to 50409

Jeffrey Sterling, ex CIA: The military is punishing Maj Watson while claiming to follow the very rules that forbid it. Art. 13 of the UCMJ says no one being held for trial may be punished, and that pretrial confinement may be no 'more rigorous than the circumstances require to insure his presence'.

Putin: “Russia is exploring the possibility of cooperation with the US in the Arctic.” Just a reminder of Trump’s lies that he wanted Greenland to keep Russia out of the Arctic.

At this point, the case that Pete Hegseth is a Russian stooge is pretty strong. And there's no shortage of folks in upper echelons in the Pentagon who are persuaded of that, too.

Reason number 999 we must flip the Senate: Pete Hegseth could end up there without ever facing the voters. The very definition of mediocrity failing upward — from the Pentagon straight into the United States Senate.

This is a lie. Inflation is 3.7%, not 1.7%. And tariffs ARE raising prices. But stop calling this just “inflation.” It’s families paying more and buying less. Cutting groceries. Putting off purchases. Watching their paycheck disappear before the month does. That’s not success. That’s suffering.

When the US descends into chaos next week, regardless of the election outcome, Britain is going to need to rejoin the EU pretty much immediately in order to join forces militarily, economícally, and strategically to survive This will ONLY be possible if 2 way Freedom of Movement is restored

A good summary of the House Judiciary Dems' 50-p report on Trump's history as a violent sexual predator, including a well vetted, under-oath account from Beatrice Keul of how Trump raped her in an Atlantic City hotel room in 1993, after the pair were introduced to one another by Jeffrey Epstein.

Thromb handing Ukraine weapons licenses is a real win: Kyiv builds faster, cheaper, and sets its own schedule. Thank Zelensky and the ZSU for making it happen. Trusting Thromb is a separate question, and the answer is still no.

🇺🇸 SpaceX may have helped Russia’s Kosmos-2612 get within 500m of ICEYE-X36, a satellite supporting Ukraine, on Oct 18. SpaceX issued a false collision alert that stopped ICEYE from maneuvering. Russia had similarly shadowed a US spy satellite in 2022, but at a much greater distance – around 70 km.

Alina Pereverzieva 🇺🇦@perevaa.bsky.social

🇺🇸 Russia's Kosmos-2612 made maneuvers near ICEYE-X36 consistent with an orbital weapons operation. US arms control adviser Brian Hardesty made the statement at the UN First Committee in New York on Oct 21. To accuse Russia of something at such a desperate time for Trump! Scandalous.

The good news is that we are winning in court. The bad news is that we have to win every case. Trump only needs to subvert one election to break democracy.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Trump has only allowed the transfer of 24 patriot missiles to Ukraine over the last 3 months. That is only 2 interceptors a week. Rather than ending patriot deliveries, Trump is sending a tiny amount so people can't complain he stopped while 95% of Russia's missiles still get to hit their targets.

Reports indicate Putin wants NATO to return to 1997 borders and withdraw from the Baltics, Poland, and Finland among others. He knows damn well NATO will never agree to this. That's not his goal. He wants Trump to agree to this in some manner to eliminate US Article 5 support.
