The sham classified documents case that Jack Smith is spearheading against President Trump has encountered a couple of very significant setbacks in recent days — setbacks so severe that they have the potential to derail the entire case. President Trump says he has evidence that the Biden administration colluded with various federal agencies to arm Jack Smith with the ammunition for his indictment. Furthermore, he has disclosed an additional bombshell that could once again shake the foundation of the case.

The paperwork shows that President Trump maintained an active security clearance at the very time when Jack Smith indicted him in the documents case — a fact the Biden regime was well aware of.

Independent investigative journalist Julie Kelly disclosed the specifics in her post on the platform X. (see below)

The twist in the story is that President Trump's security clearance was revoked after discovery of the documents following a change in the status of those documents. It was on Biden's request that NARA withdrew Trump's privileges - a request that was granted. After, the documents were reclassified, providing the basis for the raid on Mar-a-Lago.

BlackRock, JP Morgan set up 'reconstruction bank' for Ukraine

BlackRock and JPMorgan Chase are reportedly aiding the Ukrainian government in setting up a reconstruction bank that could see rebuilding projects being heavily invested in by private entities. The Financial Times noted that it would cost Ukraine roughly $411 billion to rebuild their country amid the onslaught of attacks by Russia, but the cost is continuing to increase.

The Ukraine Development Fund is still in the early stages of setting up the reconstruction bank, but potential investors will get an inside preview of how things will look during a London conference that is set to take place this week.

With the steep cost to rebuild, the Ukrainian government reached out to BlackRock in November to see if there was a conceivable way of attracting investments. JPMorgan was soon added in February. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed last month that he was working with the two financial institutions and consultants at McKinsey, per the report.

Philipp Hildebrand, BlackRock vice-chair, said:
"So many of today's long-term challenges are best addressed through blended finance and this is one. You need these vehicles to mobilise capital at scale."
Though BlackRock and JPMorgan are offering their services, they will likely have the first look at potential investments in the Eastern European country. The report noted that the current development has only deepened JPMorgan's relationship with its long-standing client, Ukraine. The financial institution has helped Ukraine raise more than $25 billion in sovereign debt since 2010, and it led in the country's $20 billion debt reconstruction in 2022.

Comment: Zelensky to complete the downfall of Ukraine by 'selling-out' to mercenary funders.

Sanctions here to stay - Moscow

The country is in no rush to resume engagements with the West anyway, according to Sergey Lavrov...

Russia does not expect the US and its allies to lift their sanctions anytime soon, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Wednesday.

"We understand perfectly well that the sanctions imposed against us will not go away in the foreseeable future, and even in the longer term," the diplomat told a roundtable with Russian ambassadors in Moscow.

Russia "does not need" relief "not because we choose isolationism or self-sufficiency," but because "the West decided to destroy the world economy for the sake of teaching Russia a lesson."

The cost of sanctions to European nations, which rejected Russian energy and raw materials and lost its market due to their decision to conduct an economic decoupling, can be conservatively estimated at €250 billion ($266.6 billion), the minister said.


Mr. Lavrov continues his presentation:


Comment: How to lose billions intending to teach Russia a lesson:
EU businesses have lost at least €250 billion ($266.6 billion) due to the sweeping sanctions imposed on Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated on Wednesday.

According to the top diplomat, these are "very conservative estimates" of the damage that the West has inflicted on its own businesses over the past year-and-a-half by introducing unilateral sanctions.

Russia-EU trade turnover totaled $200 billion in 2022 and is expected to drop to less than $100 billion by the end of 2023, according to the Foreign Ministry.

The latest ministry estimates show that mutual trade between Russia and EU member states, which totaled $417 billion in 2013, could have reached $700 billion this year were it not for the sanctions.

Speaking at a Ukraine-related meeting with the heads of diplomatic missions in Moscow, Lavrov said that, while the EU shows no sign of reversing its policies, Russia is creating independent trade mechanisms.

Lavrov stressed that Russia will rely "exclusively" on itself in strategic areas. According to Lavrov, the country is now building up new transport corridors and supply chains that will be "beyond the control of malicious influence" from the West.

Thus far, the EU has introduced 11 sanctions packages against Russia over its military operation in Ukraine. The number of restrictions has reached tens of thousands, although officials in the EU and US have repeatedly admitted that the negative impact of the penalties on Russia has not been as significant as expected.

Wikileaks cable: Israeli intelligence chief encouraged Hamas takeover of Gaza Strip

In the latest revelation to come out of the hundreds of thousands of leaked diplomatic cables provided by the website 'Wikileaks', a diplomatic exchange between then Israeli Director of Military Intelligence, Major General Amos Yadlin, and US Ambassador to Israel Richard Jones showed Israeli support for a Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip which Israel could then declare Gaza to be a 'hostile entity'.

The Hamas party won Palestinian parliamentary elections in January 2006, but was prevented from forming a government as required by the Palestinian constitution.

In June 2007, after months of attempted takeovers by the US-supported Fateh party, the Hamas party was able to form their government in Gaza. The cable in question was recorded just hours before the Hamas government was formed in Gaza in June 2007.

In the transcript, Yadlin told the US Ambassador that he would be "very happy" if Hamas formed a government in Gaza "as long as they have no (air or sea) port." He added that Israel would then work with the rival Palestinian political party, Fateh, to form a government in the West Bank and work to undermine the Hamas government in Gaza.

Comment: Israel sets 'its pieces' in place over decades.

No elections now - Zelensky

Ukraine's leader has said a vote can't be held while martial law is in effect...

The time is not right for elections in Ukraine, President Vladimir Zelensky said on Monday. His comments come after months of pressure by the West to hold a parliamentary vote in the country.

The elections, which were supposed to be held this month, have been postponed indefinitely on account of martial law, which was instituted in February 2022. Ukrainian laws forbid voting or campaigning during the state of emergency.

In his daily address, Zelensky said:
"We must decide that now is the time of defense, the time of battle, on which the fate of the state and people depends. I believe that now is not the time for elections, but for Ukraine to stay united."
Ukraine's foreign minister, Dmitry Kuleba, said last week that Zelensky was "weighing" whether to hold a presidential election in 2024. Kuleba noted that such a vote would be difficult to organize, with millions of Ukrainians out of the country due to the conflict with Russia, and hundreds of thousands fighting on the front lines.

Comment: Useful controls to bypass the present and remain in power:
On February 24, 2022, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky issued Decree No. 64/2022 on the Introduction of Martial Law in the entire territory of Ukraine.

The legal basis for the introduction of martial law in Ukraine is the Constitution of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine "On the legal status of martial law" (No. 389-VIII from May 12, 2015) and presidential decrees about the introduction of martial law. Modern-day martial law has been introduced two times in Ukraine.

The Constitution of Ukraine allows for some specific restrictions on rights and freedoms when the state of martial law is in effect. The Constitution explicitly extends the five-year authority of Verkhovna Rada in the state of martial law until the first meeting of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine of next convocation, elected after the cancellation of the state of martial law. Some say it implies that the Ukrainian constitution does not allow to hold elections to Verkhovna Rada while martial law is in effect.

Report: Leftist-funded ProPublica attacks Conservatives 23 times more often than Democrats

Despite its attempts to cast itself as an objective investigative news operation, ProPublica is actually a Democrat propaganda mill bankrolled by leftist mega-donors, a new report found.

Published by Restoration of America (ROA), the analysis uncovers how the investigative nonprofit spearheading the left's assault against conservative Supreme Court justices acts as a PR operation for the Democrat Party. After reviewing more than 700 ProPublica articles published between January 2022 and September 2023, Restoration News discovered that the outlet is "23 times more likely to attack conservatives than the Left."

"Of the 716 articles reviewed, 242 were politically slanted, with a large disparity between anti-liberal and anti-leftist pieces," the report reads. "In total, 232 were anti-conservative and 10 were anti-left."

These numbers aren't surprising when considering the political preferences of ProPublica's staff, many of whom ROA discovered are registered Democrats. Of the more than half of staffers whose political affiliation could be determined (35 of 65), 27 were identified as Democrats while only three could be classified as Republicans.

The report reads:
"Consider that ProPublica is often characterized as a nonprofit 'watchdog' rather than as a partisan group by left-leaning and 'mainstream' publications, if it's characterized at all. Contrast that with these same publications' treatment of conservative groups as biased, partisan, or ideologically motivated. That's a credibility it doesn't deserve."
When it's not giving softball interviews to President Biden, ProPublica is busy leading Democrats' smear campaign against Supreme Court justices who dare to uphold the U.S. Constitution. Throughout the past year, ProPublica has published numerous hit pieces against Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito attempting to make it appear as if the high court's most conservative justices committed ethics violations while serving on the bench (they didn't). Other left-wing outlets have joined ProPublica in this endeavor, with Politico publishing a hit job targeting Justice Neil Gorsuch.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said his country will have to manage "overall security" in Gaza for an "indefinite" period of time after the current war with Hamas ends.

Speaking to ABC News for an interview published on Monday, Netanyahu was asked about Israel's long-term plans for the territory should it succeed in dismantling Hamas, suggesting the need for a lengthy deployment.

"I think Israel will, for an indefinite period, have the overall security responsibility [in Gaza] because we've seen what happens when we don't have it," he said.

"When we don't have that security responsibility, what we have is the eruption of Hamas terror on a scale that we couldn't imagine."

Western 'colonialism' taking a new victim - Moscow

The government of Moldova wants to subjugate the country to the West, Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolay Patrushev warned on Wednesday. This policy is the opposite of what its people want, he claimed.

"The leadership of Moldova under Western pressure and in defiance of the opinion of its people has taken the course to joining the EU, Romanianization, rejection of sovereignty and national identity," the senior official said at an intragovernmental meeting in Moscow.

"In essence, Moldova risks becoming a new victim of the Western colonialist policy," he told his counterparts from the Commonwealth of Independents States (CIS), a regional organization that includes former parts of the USSR.

Moldova is a CIS member, but has been distancing itself from the group under the leadership of President Maia Sandu. The politician, who has dual Moldovan-Romanian citizenship, is a critic of Russia and an avowed supporter of joining the EU.

Comment: Moldova leadership is acting against the wishes of its own people and banking on the supremacy of the West. Not a good combination! We'll be watching how this works out for them.

Israel declares most of humanity illegitimate and irrelevant

Black Agenda Report

Israeli Ambassador Gilad Erdan
After 120 members of the 193 members of the UN General Assembly called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, Israel demonstrated its increasing isolation by declaring the UN illegitimate and irrelevant.

Both the UN Security Council and the UN General Assembly continue to grapple with the Israel/Hamas War, also known as the Gaza War, with the Security Council deadlocked and the General Assembly demanding an immediate ceasefire.

On Tuesday, October 25, Russia, Sudan, and Venezuela introduced a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire. The US introduced a competing resolution which called for humanitarian pauses to let aid into Gaza, but not for a ceasefire.

The Russian resolution failed because it did not win the two-thirds majority required to pass, and the US resolution failed because Russia and China, both of which have veto power on the Council, voted against it, as did the United Arab Emirates.

Terrorism leads to lockdowns leads to martial law - Martin Armstrong warns of Deep State plan to hold on to power

Legendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong began 2023 predicting "chaos" would be coming around the world. We have a bloody war in Ukraine, a new conflict with Gaza and Israel, and a wide open U.S. border with the FBI predicting huge terror attacks coming to America. Is this kind of destabilization a coincidence or is it a Deep State globalist plan? Why are the demonic dark powers taking peace from the earth and forecasting big terror events coming to America? Armstrong contends,
"It is very simple. Basically, we are looking at a sovereign default. Governments are pushed to the limit at this stage. You even had Fed Head Jay Powell come out last week and say 'the spending is unsustainable.' The Biden Administration is a complete corrupt absolute disaster. It's not really Biden . . . he's just there to sign whatever they stick in front of him."

Comment: For all of his insights and computations Armstrong either doesn't know - or won't say - anything about Israel's deliberate allowing of the the events of October 7th to happen, and actually helping it along - to help justify its final solution to the Palestinian presence in Gaza and the West Bank.
