MS. TANG WILLIAMS: And your husband Jake Sullivan, National Security Advisor, is causing the world on fire because he's incompetent. He should get fired.

Thank you to Polly St George.

The two candidates for New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District are Miss Lily Tang Williams and Margaret Goodlander, who is Jake Sullivan's wife.

The politicians that don't understand that should go back to economics 101 to learn who causes high inflation.  It's not the private sector; it's always the federal government who can print money.

We don't continue this disastrous tax policy.

You are wealthy.  You're worth $20 million to to $30 million.  How do you know about regular people suffering?  Do you go shopping, go to Walmart, buy food?  I talked to those people, and you pretend to be a renter in Nashville a few months then moved back to run for this open state with millions of dollars from Washington DC insiders. And the millions of dollars, I don't have money to run tv ads, and you're pretending that you're poor you complain about rent so high?  You couldn't save an apartment for other people to rent in Nashville.  You just wanted to go back to your $2 million dollar home improvement business.  Please don't say that because you do not understand regular people's concern who cry on my arms.

It's just so dead wrong.  Early in my career . . . if I can finish please, early in my career I worked for Senator John McCain to take on Vladimir Putin.  I'm banned from Russia for life because of that work and believe deeply in the cause of freedom in Ukraine.

Your math cannot add up, okay.  And I'm very good with math.  Maybe it is still time for aging Americans.  If you want to pay for all that stuff you want to pay for, then do your math.  How are we going to pay for it?  Show me the path.  Borrow money from China, or print money to drive up inflation?  And you say Ukrainian flag is everywhere in Nashville.  I have not seen that many flags.  And as I said, if Democrats want to do this, billionaires want to do this, Neocons want to do this, please do but don't make your own money.  So many people have have died.  It's time for peace and talk to the table.  President Trump is talking about how he will be for peace deals as soon as he gets elected.  We cannot afford to engage in endless wars.  And your husband Jake Sullivan, National Security Advisor, is causing the world on fire because he's incompetent.  He should get fired.  

So I can promise you, Adam, and to all of your viewers out there, that this is the spirit I will bring to this work.

Miss Tang Williams, how do we alleviate some of that fear and anger that's out there in this country?

Well, when your former boss 6 months ago comes on to call all Trump supporters "garbage," that's like half the country become a garbage, that's not unifying and positive.  And that's been going on for a while.  Your boss is mostly divisive president since I come to live in this country.  Talk about white supremacy.  What, you are white.  Lots of people are white.  And you talk about MAGA Republicans are threats to democracy?  You know all those rhetoric do not help.  I like to talk about the American dream, how happy I am being here, how much I love this country and want to serve the people.  That's something we should focus on.  Any politicians who don't understand that, then they should go back to Economics 101 to learn who causes high inflation.  It's not the private sector.  It's always the federal government who can print money.

How to deal with anyone trying to assert their dominance or bully you in conversation.

Not a fan of either in this conversation but the analyzer points out some valuable insights to help you deal with anyone trying to assert their dominance with you or bully you in conversation.

The other person twists your words and tries to make you look dumb so you'll learn how to defend yourself in any argument.

SPOT WHEN THEY ENTER FIGHT MODE
First step to defend yourself against a conversational bully is to identify when the conversation goes into fight mode.  Like if they're shouting or cutting you off.  But there's a subtler tell as well, like when Pierce is there to argue with Tate and not to understand him.  Two tells here:  if someone labels you or an idea you stand by as an issue or problematic that's a good indicator that they've switched into fight mode or if they want to argue with you before asking you to explain your point of view.  If that happens, you should start being wary of conversational traps.  

MISQUOTING
One of the most common traps is misquoting you.  Misquoting you makes it easier for the other person to feel like they're dominating you because they're attacking a straw man instead of your actual views.  Sounds like it would be easy to catch but sometimes it only takes a small tweak to your words to have a big impact on their meaning.  If you weren't paying attention, you may not notice the small tweak.  For example, listen to Andrew respond when Piers asks him what his opinion of Alex Jones is after meeting him. 
He was professional and courteous to me when.  I meet somebody and they show me respect, I show them back respect.  That's what I do as I did with you.
PIERS:  You respect him?

If somebody shows me respect, I show them respect back.

PIERS:  So if Adolf Hitler . . . if Adolf Hitler showed you respect, you would respect him back?

That's a huge difference between showing someone respect by being polite versus having respect for them and their ideas.   Andrew even catches this at first, but Piers is persistent in establishing that straw man.

PIERS:  Well I'm not.  I'm taking your position that if somebody shows you respect, you respect them.  I'm saying there are lots of people in the world I do not respect.  If Vladimir Putin showed me respect, I would not respect him.

That's your opinion.  But you . . . 

I know it's my view.  What's your view?  Your view is you would.  

You can see Piers trying to force a view upon Andrew that he doesn't actually believe.  So you have to be careful not to let someone misquote you or you may find yourself defending a belief that upon reflection you don't even have.  Luckily there is a simple solution for this.  If you're aware of it, re-establish your own point of view before you defend it.  

You say that people don't want to see men dressed up like transgender people.

That's not exactly what I said.

What did you say?

I said the reason I am so popular and I'm so famous is that there is a large contingent of men who don't want to wear makeup, who still want to make money, go to the gym, be strong, drive a fast car, be traditionally masculine, and don't want to be shamed for that.  They don't want to be called toxic for that.  

Now if you do start to make good points in an argument you'll have to watch out for this next trick.  

DERAILING INTERRUPTIONS
This is when someone tries to interrupt you before you can establish your strongest point you're taking the sentences and your weaponizing them against me I'm not weaponizing anything.

You can see in that clip that the interruptions are starting to bother Andrew.  Luckily there are three ways you can handle being interrupted.  

TRICK #1
First trick is to pause, acknowledge the person then return to the point that you were making.

PIERS:  All I've done is literally read out all the things we identified from all the research that I thought were blatantly misogynist and give you the chance to respond.  The only time I've interrupted you is when you've tried to answer a completely different question.

TATE:  Understood Pierce.

You can even see a little smile in Piers' eyes after.  That's because most people in an argument crave to feel heard and understood.  

TRICK #2
Here's another example.  You can steal this line word for word if you want to acknowledge someone without agreeing with them.  This time, Piers even makes a little positive noise after Andrew acknowledges him.

TATE:  I don't think so.  

PIERS:  And I think your view of that is . . . that view is dangerous.

TATE:   I respect that you think my view is dangerous, and I respect you have the right to view that.  

That line is a nice way to remain connected with someone without giving ground you don't agree with.  It makes the other person feel heard and that disarms their need to attack.  Now, once someone has established a pattern of interrupting you, the next thing you can do is preempt their interruption.  Here's an example. 
And this is actually what is interesting.  And please don't interrupt me on this point.  Social media has changed in modern times.  
4:20. You can even see Pierce's body language change as he disengages to respect Andrew's request.  

TRICK #3: ONE-FINGER STOP GESTURE
If the person continues to interrupt you you can call it out with a one-finger stopped gesture.

PIERS:  No, no, let's stop for a second.

TATE:  Please don't interrupt me.  Here's why I know, why your job first you interrupt people a lot, which is a good skill.  I believe in marriage more than anybody, in fact, I believe in marriage.  No, please, I believe in marriage in the traditional sense.

DON'T STEAMROLL CONCESSIONS
Now on the flip side, you also want to avoid the trap of being the interrupter, especially if someone is responding to a point you've made.  Don't steamroll concessions.  There were a few times there when Piers actually made a good point but he interrupts so much that Andrew can't even agree with him.

PIERS:  Well, you did say at the start of this little exchange, you said, "Well, I wouldn't maybe say things the same way now that I did before I was famous," and yet, actually, you've doubled down and said exactly the same thing. 

On certain points . . . 

So that is what you believe.  That's my point, yes, I'm trying to work out . . . .  Look, I don't know you.  We just met, right?  Steamrolling concession prevents you from reaching common ground with the person you're talking to.  If there's anyone else listening, it also makes it harder for them to register that you've made a good point.  There's one more example so you can see what not to do.  

Well I think my sister is my, her husband's property.

Yes, so fundamentally I don't believe a man owns a woman.  You do.

SCOTT RITTER: You're letting Ukraine determine the fate of humanity? You're letting Zelensky determine the fate of humanity?

3:17. A signal that could be sent for instance is for Germany to tell the United States hell no to the missiles they want to deploy in 2026.  Because if we are fortunate enough to live between now and then those missiles will get you killed.  How about Germany it taking the lead to have Europe come up with a new pro-Arms Control agenda?  How about Germany taking the lead to bring an end to this Ukrainian conflict, to get Zelensky out of power so that he doesn't get to threaten all of our lives.  You almost died this weekend.  I don't know what you were doing this weekend, but it almost didn't happen.  If you didn't die, understand this, you will have wished you had died, because the consequences of surviving a post-nuclear war reality is worse than death.  That's my message to the German people.  That's my message to the people of Europe.  That's my message to my fellow Americans.  What are we going to do about this?  Stop the stupid discussions about missiles long-range strikes.  Stop a nuclear war it is the most existential issue of our time and the time is right now.  You almost died this weekend.  What are you going to do about it?  

5:15. Russia cannot be defeated militarily but the real question is why do you want to defeat Russia militarily?  I mean does it matter do you care that Russia can or cannot be defeated militarily?  The real question is why would you even consider defeating Russia militarily Russia doesn't pose a threat to you listen to what the reasoning was behind Vladimir Putin's decision to enlarge the Russian military because the threats against Russia have increased. The threats.  That's you, Germany, and your stupidity.  Your stupidity.  You think NATO can defeat Russia.  You've embraced an American policy that speaks of the strategic defeat of Russia using Ukraine as a proxy?  How freaking dumb can you be?  You're the dumbest people on the planet after the rest of Europe and the United States.  Sort of a toss-up.  You know, we're all stupid because we think we can defeat Russia.  We can't. Now understand this. Russia can't defeat us even with this military that they have.  It's not big enough to defeat NATO.  The Russian military is designed to do two things: win the conflict in Ukraine, and secure Russia's borders against external threats.  That's it.  It is not an offensive military machine.  So, again, the question I have to ask people is to stop talking about Russia, saying that Russia created the conditions that make sure that it can't be defeated.  Why do yo. want to defeat Russia?  Why is that an option on the table?  It shouldn't be.  From Germany's perspective you're the last country in the world that should ever articulate any notion of trying to defeat Russia you don't have a right to defeat Russia.  You don't have the right to be part of an alliance whose goals and objectives are to defeat Russia.  You lost that right in 1945.  You will never regain that right.  27 million dead Soviets assure the reality that you have no rights when it comes to talking about Russia, the military and National Defense Rush is not going to attack you Russia is no threat to you Russia actually wanted to be a partner with you in peace Russia sold you the cheapest damn energy you're ever going to get maybe you're even waking up to that fact Olaf Scholz two years too late is starting to talk about a serious investigation because he's paying a political price for this

SCOTT RITTER: That if there's a nuclear war in Europe, the United States will be hit.

I'm telling you right now, the Russian Doctrine is clear: if a nuclear weapon of any size is detonated on Russian soil, Russia will respond with the totality of its nuclear capabilities.  --Scott Ritter, Former UN Weapons Inspector 

The Kremlin has made adjustments to its nuclear doctrine.  

In the U.S., we speak of potential conflict with Russia. 

That if there's a nuclear war in Europe, the United States will be hit.  Russia will not only hurt the US, but if Russia makes the decision to strike it will be a killing strike, designed to destroy America's nuclear force before it launches to minimize America's retaliatory capacity.  This is what Russia will do.  I hope people will take a look at the maps when 150 to 300 megaton warheads, or kiloton warheads land on American cities, the spread of the radiation, how long contamination will be . . . .   Guys, it's over.  Game, set, match, humanity is gone.  The Russians aren't playing around.  They understand the seriousness of this and they are not going to sit back and allow the United States to play stupid games that put the existential survival of Russia at risk.  If you think Russia is going to let the United States put a standoff strike weapon American-made, an American F-16, and pilot it with Ukrainian and, you know, have these weapons be launched against Moscow or St Petersburg, you're insane.  Russia will know exactly where that attack came from, from the United States, and the United States will pay the price.  This is why I say we are on the edge, on the edge of the abyss, and we are closer to nuclear war than we have ever been.  Look at the Biden Administration.  How have they responded to this?  They've issued a new Nuclear Employment Guidance.  This is the war plan which will make it even easier for the United States to use nuclear weapons.  So we are front-loading any potential crisis with Russia with a nuclear employment strategy that's contingent upon limiting the conflict to Europe.  This is why we have a low-yield nuclear weapon the W76-2, so that we can send a signal to Russia.  I'm telling you right now, the Russian Doctrine is clear: if a nuclear weapon of any size is detonated on Russian soil, Russia will respond with the totality of its nuclear capabilities.  That's not me saying this, this is Vladimir Putin saying this.  That's what Lavrov is trying to remind us of: play with fire, and you will get burned.  But ladies and gentlemen, this isn't going to be the burning of the fingers.  This is going to be the burning of your entire neighborhood, of your entire city, of our entire nation.  

Thanks to Judge Andrew Napolitano.

MARTIN ARMSTRONG: The U.S. Constitution, read it, said that they were going to honor all the debts of the previous [government]. They never did

Yes that's exactly why and at this stage they think that the plan is that the United Nations will step up and appear to be the Peacemaker and therefore that will elevate them to this one- world level of government. --Martin Armstrong

06:20. We are in a phase where the confidence in government is absolutely collapsing and I believe it began with COVID and this is on a worldwide scale for example look at the elections that have taken place you have the EU that has moved to the right you have Britain France our computer does not look at poles.

07:22. People vote according to their economic situation and what's happening globally here is that no matter who is in power they're throwing them out so it's not a left, right sort of thing our computers have been showing that Trump should win I understand Washington very well I've been down there since Reagan's time in office I warned that they would probably even try to assassinate him because that's just their playbook they did the same thing to JFK anybody that threatens the Deep States agenda they try to take out one way or another and most people don't realize but you can Google it you'll see there is going to be a documentary coming out on Richard Nixon there was a tape at the head of the CIA present and Nixon said I know who killed JFK after that they made sure they got rid of him a couple of guys in the Watergate thing where CIA and they just bungled to get caught when Nixon left office he's entitled to Secret Service protection in perpetuity.   He dismissed them and hired his own people.  He did not trust the Secret Service to protect him.  I think that says it all.  You can look throughout history even in the Roman Empire where 13 Emperors were assassinated by their own bodyguards.  So this is a common thing but what we are looking at here is a major global debt crisis.  Since World War II, they've been borrowing year after year with no intention of paying anything back, and this is reaching a point of a climax. This is why they need war.  The main reason they wanted Biden there is because 40% of the time he is in Delaware.  He was basically a placeholder.  And then you have the Secretary of State, Blinkin threatening China, "If you go into Taiwan we'll wage war." China was the number one holder of US debt.  They dumped $53 billion in the first quarter of this year.  Janet Yellen has to hop on a plane and run over there and beg them to keep buying our debt, please.  And they ask, "Why? You want us to buy $100 billion of debt so you can shoot missiles at us?"  Washington is in total chaos because there is not a president doing his job.  At these cabinet meetings, the president is supposed to be the referee.  Every agency--they're like 2-year-old children--they all want their own way.  So you have the EPA outlawing gas stoves.  Then you have Lindsey Graham saying that there is $10 to $12 trillion worth of gas reserves under Crimea, and we can't allow Russia and China to get that.  There's no coherent strategy or common theme even. 

WHY DOES EUROPE WANT WAR?  
I just got back from Europe, spoke to a number of different governments there, and they are all preparing for war.  Why do they want war?  Basically, that's their exit strategy with this debt crisis.  A lot of people say "Oh $30, $40 to trillion in debt . . . ." The level of debt really does not matter.  What's critical is when people stop buying it.  As long as there is a next guy in line who continues to buy it, then they can keep rolling it and rolling it.  But now when you're threatening China and things of this nature . . .  the BRICs, people don't really understand what the BRICS is about.  It's a geopolitical issue.  Once they put sanctions on Russia, they have all these other countries beginning to realize "Hey, wait a minute.  If we don't do what the US tells us to do, they can remove us from SWIFT."  That's what the BRICS is really about. 

WHAT HAPPENS WITH WAR?  
12:10. They intend to actually you know they want to wage war, and what happens with war?  You can go on eBay and buy all of the bonds you want from all these different countries.  Basically a new government forms, and they default on the last government.  You can go on eBay and buy U.S. Continental currency from all the states as well.

12:38.  You can buy Confederate Currency so exactly they always bring it to war when the economic system is coming to an end.

12:45. Yes.  Because they get to default and a new government comes in and it does not have to honor the debts of the last.  As I said, you can go on eBay and you can buy Continental currency.  The Constitution, read it, said that they were going to honor all the debts of the previous [government].  They never did.  Spain has defaulted 7 times.  France is on its 5th Republic.  Just go down the list.  China, you can buy all these bonds from World War II.  They all defaulted.  So if they create a war, they get two objectives out of it.   One, they get to default.  Two, that's what this whole digital currency issue is about.  I've met with governments for a long time as you know.  And they all think on average that Europe and the United States that 35% of the economy is underground and not paying taxes.  So how to get that tax is to eliminate physical money.  That's what this is all about.  They move to the digital currency side, and then you hire that 16-year-old girl next door to watch the kids while you and your wife go out.  Oh, my God, you gave her $50 and she didn't pay taxes.  That's our profit that's the way they look at it and 

14:11.  So their answer is a cashless society monitoring every facet of our lives.  I'm no economist like you, or an expert expert like you, but that's going to create an incredible destruction of the economy, incredible pressure and civil unrest, an angrier world.

14:23. Yeah, just look at Nigeria where they pulled that off and had all kinds of riots and burning banks and things.  Also behind that which doesn't appear to be out in the press very much is that the IMF has already created their digital coin.  And the whole scheme here is that the IMF digital currency which will replace the dollar and this will raise the world, everything you're talking about with the UN wants this one-world government stuff.  And it's not a conspiracy theory.  You can look on my site.  I've got a video there just Google "Holland and the former president of France [Sarkozy?] I have a video put on there with him standing up there with Merkel in the European Parliament, saying the very purpose of the EU was one government for Europe to eliminate European war.  This theory has been around for a long time.  It's not a conspiracy theory . . . 

15:37.  No that's why they they claim they formed the EU.

15:41.  Yes that's exactly why and at this stage they think that the plan is that the United Nations will step up and appear to be The Peacemaker and therefore that will elevate them to this one World level of government.

16:00.  Just like Herbert Walker Bush said in 1990 and '91.  He said out of this un war will bring in a one world government.

16:09.  This has been a theory around for a long time that if there is one government then you end war.  I've argued with him and I said obviously you don't know your history.  The Roman Empire was one government, and how many civil wars did they have?  

16:23.  Even Elon Musk said at the World Government Summit last year, he said One-World Government will create nothing but civil war.

16:30.  Exactly.  I see it in Europe.  When they were forming the Euro they came to me I sat down with him and I warned them that this is not going to work they were selling it to everybody that like the United States will have a single currency and everybody will pay the same interest rate.  And I can tell you what happened Chancellor Cole of Germany did not allow the German people to vote for the Euro he unilaterally took Germany in because he said if the German people voted he would have lost 7 to 1.  So what he did he took Germany into the EU, and that created the euro.  And basically to do that he said you cannot consolidate the debt.  So every country still has its own debt.  There isn't a single national debt.  And I warned him that all you're going to do is transfer the volatility in trading foreign exchange from the Foreign Exchange Market to the bond market, and that's what's happened. They don't understand trading.  They don't understand markets.  They don't understand anything.

17:43.  They think they can always raise more taxes.  Let me ask you this.  Back to your main point.  The globalists, the big banks, they're all shutting down fertilizer, food production, paying farmers not to grow crops.  If they're actually trying to prop up a bubble, or bring in a new bubble, why would you attack energy and food production when that's the basis of everything?  Well because they want to consolidate control but don't they get by consolidating control, they get even more volatility and they thought they could blame climate change, but most people aren't blaming climate change. They know it's globalist policy, so why are they at war with the real economy?  What's the plan there?

18:20. This is how they get power. They basically do wanted to decline and say come to me I'll save it.  Basically change something unless it's broken. 

18:35.  Exactly.  They're the saviors they said we're going to save you from climate change that causes Mass starvation while they open the borders and cut the food off but people aren't buying that BS don't they get that they are now the villains that Bill Gates, that Klaus Schwab, and the UN are the most hated groups out there?

18:52. I can tell you Klaus Schwab resigned from CEO and just moved to chairman.  He's still there.  But he did so because of all the negative publicity against him.  These people think that we are stupid, and I've been dealing with governments honestly for 50 years.  I can tell you that I was down there when Reagan was in, and they were all upset when Reagan was elected.  And I asked, "What's the problem?"  They said well you don't understand.  I said well explain it to me, and they said look he's a governor.  We are going to have to train him.  They don't like anybody from outside of Washington; that's why they don't like Trump, and they also don't like RFK, Jr.  You're coming in and playing in our sandbox and that's basically the real problem what they told Reagan when he wanted to meet with Gorbachev I can tell you absolutely the Neocons told him, okay fine, he's no longer a communist, but you can never trust a Russian.  Trump is Right NATO is an absolute terrorist organization they should have been shut down the whole purpose of it was basically to defend Europe against communism that was it that was when cruise ship said that we will bury you those days are gone.  As you know I was in the middle of the Russian thing back in 1999 they were basically interfering in the Russian elections for 2000 they blackmailed Yeltsin to try and get him to step down and they wanted to stick in their puppet to run Russia who is Berezovsky.  They wanted me to put in $10 billion dollars into this Hermitage capital and I refused.  They rigged that election when Yeltsin realized he was getting blackmailed and he was getting attacked on the opposite side the old neocon rush and the communist they had filed a motion for impeachment so he was getting it from the US trying to interfere and the other side that's why he turned to Putin because Putin was not an oligarch and he wasn't a communist.  And that's why they hate Putin so much he basically did that in Hillary was involved in this and he doesn't fit the stereotype I got the declassified documents from the Clinton administration and what Putin said in that interview with Tucker was correct.  I have the documents showing that the Clinton administration there was a proposal for Russia to join NATO.  That is why the Communists there staged the coup against Gorbachev because they felt that that would be a surrender to the United States.  That's what that coup was all about, and then you had Yeltsin standing on the tank, etc.  

from the Amazon book blurb for The Plot to Seize Russia: The Untold History, 2023,

"Take care of Russia," Boris Yeltsin said as he departed his presidency in August 1999. These words were directed at current Russian president, Vladimir Putin. Yeltsin specifically picked Putin as his predecessor to prevent the takeover of Russia.

So, who was Yeltsin warning against? Newly declassified documents from the Clinton Administration prove that there was a plot to rig the Russian election of 2000. These never-before-seen documents confirm numerous attempts to implement pro-Western policies using the Russian oligarchy headed by Boris Berezovsky.

On the other side were the communists who desired a return to the glory days of the Soviet Union. As one of the largest international hedge fund managers, author Martin Armstrong found himself in the middle of perhaps the greatest espionage, or attempt at a regime change for Russia, in modern history.

And all of that people have to understand, you know, why did Hillary suddenly say that Putin interfered with the 2016 election?  She said oh because I had said one of his elections was rigged.  Now that wasn't it.  It was basically the US under the Clinton administration and the bankers were trying to interfere in the Russian 2000 election.  They were trying to take it over then.

DAVID KURTEN: Obviously you had Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, who were Russian, being bombed by neo-Nazis attached to the Zelensky regime for 8 years . . .

His name is David Kurten, the Heritage Party Leader out of Sussex.  The moderator is Iain Dale.

I've spoken about this at length many times over the last 2 years and you can't take what's happened in the last two years in isolation.  This comes on the back of what the West did, the CIA and Victoria Nuland, particularly, ousting a democratically elected president in 2014 Yanokovic because he decided he didn't want to join NATO and he didn't want to join the EU, which is their right.  What the West has done, the collective West, has put in a puppet in Poreshenko and then another puppet in Zelensky and we've encouraged him to . . . 

DALE.  Zelensky won an election . . . 

KURTEN.  He won an election in 2019 on the basis of peace with Russia he did a bait and switch at the behest of the deep state in the West who basically control him.

DALE.  Wow, you really sort of have the Putin propaganda, haven't you?

KURTEN.  It's not Putin's propaganda.  It's actually reality, and it's what I'm talking about.

DALE.  It's a very strange reality.

KURTEN.  It is reality you interrupted me there so let me just finish and continue so there was absolutely no need for the West to get involved in this on either side.  We should have been trying to de-escalate from the beginning in February 22 . . . 

So we should have just sat back and let Russia invade a sovereign country?

There was a peace deal in April 2022 that Putin and Zelensky worked out in Turkey with Erdogan.  Boris Johnson went to Zelensky just after that, and the next thing we know, Zelensky said "No, we're not going to make . . . ."

IAIN DALE.  This is pure Putin propaganda.

No, it's not [propaganda].  It's actually what's happening.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

No, I'm not ashamed of myself. 

KURTEN.  How much land should we let Russia take then?

Well, if we hadn't gone in and agitated this and escalated this to support Zelensky to escalate . . .  

Wow . . . wow . . . 

. . . there wouldn't have been any land taken at all.  Obviously you had Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, who were Russian, being bombed by neo-Nazis attached to the Zelensky regime for 8 years . . . 

We might as well have Vladimir Putin sit where you are.

That's an insult.

You're an absolute disgrace.

That's an absolute insult.

It was meant to be.

You're not calling me a disgrace.  And that is really not good moderation.

It may not be good moderation but I'm just reflecting what virtually every single person on this entire program is saying.

Sunday, April 28, 2024

Russia is not your enemy, President Putin is not your enemy!

Vladimir Putin has been good for Russia, he's been good for the Middle East, and Europe, and he's even been good for the United States.

VLADIMIR PUTIN PASSED A LAW THAT ANY RUSSIAN WHO GROWS OR SELLS GMO FOODS IS TO BE CONSIDERED A TERRORIST

One organic tomato will give you 9 times the iron of a conventionally-grown tomato.  --Barbara O'Neill

He's even giving land away to Russians who will grow food organically, non-GMO.  And the results look pretty good.

Moscow, Russia, 2024, a country that banned GMO products

Putin banned the production and sale of GMO products, so that might be one reason Russian youth are so healthy.   

Vladimir Putin signed a law that bans the production of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and products in Russia. The law also bans the imports of such "goods". The only exceptions are cases of GMO production that are used for the purpose of scientific research.
The document was published on the official web portal. According to the text of the new law, products importers will be required to undergo special registration procedures to eliminate the possibility of the impact of genetically modified organisms on humans. 
Breaking the law provides for administrative responsibility. Officials will be obliged to pay a fine of 10 to 20 thousand rubles. Legal entities  are to be fines from 100 to 500 thousand rubles.

"It's not about his personal power . . . Only Russia and what will happen with Russia, because it's an enormous responsibility, and Putin takes it and carries it"

Thank you to Tom Luongo.

RITTER:  Is he a brutal dictator?  Is he a Jeffersonian Democrat? Who is Vladimir Putin?  

00:57. First of all, Putin is extremely Russian.  He is very Russian, so he's part of Russian culture, he's part of Russian people, and that's why people love him.  He hears people.  When you talk to Putin, he's extremely interested in what you have to say.  So he's not lecturing you.  He's extremely honest with you.  He's very open with you, and he hears you.  And he really wants to understand what you have to say to get deeper into your problem if there is a problem he's very professional in working with info.  He is never Russian with his decisions.  He is always calculating and he understands the responsibility that's on his shoulders.  He is definitely not even close to the definition of cruel like it's not about him.  He is definitely not even close to the definition of dictator.  Not about him at all.  Actually, vice versa.  I would say that he is far more democratic than Medvedev or Yeltsin or Gorbachev.  He admits other [people's] points of view, and he listens to them.  When you talk with Putin, it's not like, "Well, here's my opinion, and that will be it," no, no, no, no.  He wants you to understand how he comes to this opinion and why he is forced to do this or that step. He always thinks about what and how it will affect the country and the people.  He's not looking for love from his enemies.  So he's not looking for world acknowledgment, "Oh, what a great guy from United Kingdom or United States," no, no, no, no. He's not like Gorby or Yeltsin, who could be easily influenced by that.  There's only one thing that he's really interested in.  It's not about his personal power, wealth, or whatever.  It doesn't matter at all.  Only Russia and what will happen with Russia, because it's an enormous responsibility, and Putin takes it and carries it.  That's why he studies a lot of history books. He's a real fan of history. He reads a lot, and it's not science fiction, it's serious, serious studies of history.  He has his own opinion.  He has his own opinion.  He has his own opinion, but he respects other people's opinions as well. It's really fun to talk to him.

Who is Vladimir Sloviev?  He is a Russian TV presenter and political commentator.[9He has been an anchor on the television show Evening with Vladimir Solovyov on Russia-1 since 2012.

ALEX KRAINER REVIEWS COUP ATTEMPT WITH KEVORK ALMASSIAN

Good analysis of Wagner Group commander Yevgeny Prigozhin's attempted coup on Putin and Russia.  

It failed miserably.  

Was that deliberate?  Could be.  Served two purposes.  One is to flush out Western saboteurs inside Russia who may be part of the 14 million Ukrainians who've left the Ukraine and gone into Russia.  And two, to solidify Putin's power and hold onto Russia's policy agendas and hold fast to that purpose in the Ukraine.  Alex Krainer references this discussion between Ray McGovern and Judge Andrew Napolitano, who do a great job of breaking down the details.    

11:00. Kevork, we should not underestimate the tendency and the capacity for the West to to go off the rails and be stupid on the part of the western establishment.  And we've seen this throughout history.  Already in World War II, when most militaries had machine guns yet the generals still pushed their troops into frontal assaults where they would just be mowed down.  And rather than say, "Oh, this doesn't work," they would just send more waves of soldiers even though all they did was get them killed in very large numbers.  The generals were simply stupid.  And then we saw how this works in the run-up to the war in Ukraine.  In January of last year, even before the hostilities started, when the German admiral of the Navy, Kay-Achim Schönbach was in India on a military exercise.  In a press event, he said, "The easiest and least destructive way to defuse this crisis would be to acknowledge Russia's security concerns and to give Vladimir Putin and Russia the leadership the respect that they demand and probably deserve."  That's the gist of his words. And that very day his military career ended.  He was the Vice Admiral of the German Navy and that was it. It seems that the system simply doesn't want to hear but only what it wants to believe.  And so what you get is his blind zealotry that pushes harder and harder with solutions that don't work, that don't allow rethinking, and that don't allow going back to the drawing board.  They don't allow retracting some of their strategies, and so the result ultimately is that the whole juggernaut acts like a madman, a group led by lunatics.  

14:00. ALMASSIAN.  Putin actually on the second day of the alleged coup, he met with his security officials, defense minister, the security and military personnel.  He gave a speech, and today he also gave a speech, and there is this argument that of course by the MSM that Putin is trying to prove himself now that he's this strong man of Russia.  And that Putin's Russia as we know is over, and now he will have to be dealing with this internal Russia, will have to try dealing with its internal strife with the different circles of power inside of Russia.  So the pressure on Putin by the Wagner group was actually productive.. The west believes Putin is forced to backtrack now and will be forced to negotiate with the west. 

It's another example of the west's wishful thinking.  Ray McGovern says that despite of the fact that this whole boondoggle with the Wagner group on Friday last week.  He said that the "Gang of Eight" the Congress within the Congress in the United States was briefed on it Wednesday.  So what does that tell you? It means that they were informed, they probably encouraged it and participated in it.  Prigozhin was known to have had contacts with Western intelligence.  Ukrainian leadership so they talked with themselves and they knew that this was coming.  I believe that Prigozhin led them on, that he drew them into this to believing that they get to prevail.  That maybe they get their regime change in Russia.  And then they had all these contingency plans.  They want to partition Russia.  They cannot achieve that one day to the next, but if they can eliminate Putin.  They can immediately find their own people who who's loyalty maybe they can command and get Alexei Navalny out of prison and give him power and and who knows what they plan.  Maybe this lure from Prigozhin got them all really, really excited.  Instead now they get to implement all these wonderful plans that they had.  Except I don't think that's going to happen. I think Vladimir Putin is in a stronger position today than when he was before Progozhin's stunt.

Putin revealed details of the April 2022 Russo-Ukrainian peace treaty to the African peace delegation today.

Every world leader loves to chat with Putin.  Yes, it's that bad.  We need a U.S. Putin.  Who might that be?  Donald Trump.  It's not about Trump.  It's about the future of the U.S.A

Nordstream 2: Cold War all over again? Reagan and the CIA blew up the Soviet Union pipeline that pumped natural gas to Europe in 1982, "the “most monumental non-nuclear explosion and fire ever seen from space"

Thank you to Martin Armstrong @ Armstrong Economics.

Intelligence agencies backed by the mainstream media are still trying to blame Russia for the destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines. A new BBC report claims that Russian ships and submarines of the Nord Stream pipelines. A new BBC report claims that Russian ships and submarines were present when the blasts occurred. These “ghost ships” allegedly had their transmitters turned off, but they were not clever enough to encode their radio communications. The report admits that there is no conclusive evidence to pin the destruction on Moscow, but they’re seeking to create evidence.

Russia had no motive to destroy the pipeline that provided energy to the majority of Europe. The pipeline was Russia’s biggest tool of leverage, and they had the power to turn off the gas flow without destroying the entire thing. There is no possibility that Russia would have destroyed its biggest bargaining chip. There is a possibility, however, that Europe would have caved and continued purchasing Russian energy. Neocons like National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, Victoria Nuland, the Undersecretary of State for Policy, and Secretary of State Tony Blinken openly stated that they did not approve of the pipelines and wanted them gone.

“If Russia invades, that means tanks and troops crossing the border of Ukraine again, then there will be, there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2,” Biden stated in February 2022 during a joint press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. “I promise you, we will be able to do it.”

It comes as no coincidence that politicians began thanking America after the explosions. Radek Sikorski, Poland’s former minister of national defense and EU Parliament member, posted an image on Twitter of the leak with the caption, “Thank you, USA.”

Seymour Hersch won a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting on the My Lai massacre in Vietnam and reported on the Nord Stream sabotage in detail.

Last June, the Navy divers, operating under the cover of a widely publicized mid-summer NATO exercise known as BALTOPS 22, planted the remotely triggered explosives that, three months later, destroyed three of the four Nord Stream pipelines, according to a source with direct knowledge of the operational planning.

Two of the pipelines, which were known collectively as Nord Stream 1, had been providing Germany and much of Western Europe with cheap Russian natural gas for more than a decade. A second pair of pipelines, called Nord Stream 2, had been built but were not yet operational. Now, with Russian troops massing on the Ukrainian border and the bloodiest war in Europe since 1945 looming, President Joseph Biden saw the pipelines as a vehicle for Vladimir Putin to weaponize natural gas for his political and territorial ambitions.

Furthermore, this tactic has been used in the past! In January 1982, Ronald Regan and the CIA planned to destroy the Soviet Union’s economy by using the technology available at the time to create a massive explosion. The US wanted to block Europe from importing Soviet Western gas amid the Cold War and was willing to take extreme measures. Thomas C. Reed, a former Air Force secretary who served in the National Security Council, wrote a book entitled At the Abyss: An Insider’s History of the Cold War, 2005.

In order to disrupt the Soviet gas supply, its hard currency earnings from the West, and the internal Russian economy, the pipeline software that was to run the pumps, turbines, and valves was programmed to go haywire, after a decent interval, to reset pump speeds and valve settings to produce pressures far beyond those acceptable to pipeline joints and welds,” Reed writes. According to the Washington Post, Reed later commented that it was the “most monumental non-nuclear explosion and fire ever seen from space."

The destruction of Nord Stream was an unauthorized act of war by the US, with the help of its Western alliance. Intelligence agencies are still attempting to pin the blame on Russia as a false flag, but their claims are invalid.
