There is no question that it is more difficult to search the Internet today than was the case 15 or 20 years ago. Especially on the English-language Internet, information control is much more apparent and effective, and censorship is now fully in the open with little or no pretense or disguise. Many web pages or documents which would always appear on the first page of a search in the past, cannot now be accessed by normal means and, increasingly, a great many important sources have been deleted. ^[1]

This is so true, and the deleted contents follow such a distinct pattern that it is reasonable to assume there are armies of people engaged in sanitizing the Internet, effectively burning the books. The topics all relate to buried history, unspeakable crimes long forgotten, almost anything related to the Jews or to Israel, including Jewish crimes like the opium travesty in China, among many others. It seems that anything which might be embarrassing or inconvenient is targeted for removal.There is no substantive difference between physically burning books and deleting Internet documents. The result is the same.

Some links to historical documents that I saved 15 or 20 years ago, are still active, and the documents can still be accessed, but they will no longer appear on a search with any terms. It is now often true that even if you know the complete title of a document, the search engines - especially Google - will refuse to produce it. This is so true that Google (particularly) no longer functions as a useful search engine; it is instead a "gate-keeper" with two main functions. One is to feed you information it wants you to have (or things it wants you to think), and the second is to ensure you never find information it doesn't want you to have(or things it doesn't want you to think). You may not want to hear this, but ChatGPT is not better in any respect. It receives its marching orders from the same place as Google and the New York Times.

The point of the above is that those "army members" are following an ideological agenda, and are actively scrubbing the Internet of important historical and other documents and sources of information that are uncomfortable primarily to the Jews. This was brought home to me a while back, and it had to happen twice before I learned my lesson.

As Russia and Ukraine resume direct talks in Istanbul and Europe's ultimatums fade, the spotlight turns to a Putin-Trump phone call.

In recent weeks, the focus of the Russia-Ukraine conflict has shifted noticeably from the battlefield to the diplomatic arena. Political actors on all sides have turned their attention to shaping the terms of a potential settlement - or at least the framework for future negotiations.

This latest phase began with a coordinated visit by Western European leaders to Kiev and concluded, for now, with a phone conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart, Donald Trump, on Monday. But the centerpiece of this diplomatic shift was the unexpected resumption of direct talks between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul.

What's unfolding is not just a conversation about peace, but a broader contest over influence and strategic direction. Competing visions of how the conflict should end - or be managed - are colliding in real time. Western Europe is scrambling to maintain relevance, Ukraine is caught between urgency and uncertainty, and Trump, now at the center of this geopolitical tug-of-war, is being courted by both sides.

So, who's really winning this shadow war of influence? And what happens if the diplomatic front collapses?
Let's take a closer look.

Western capitals are still coordinating with Israel and the US on their 'criticisms' of the genocide - just as they coordinated on their support for the slaughter

After 19 months of being presented with dissembling accounts of Gaza from their governments, western publics are now being served up a different - but equally deceitful - narrative.

With the finishing line in sight for Israel's programme of genocidal ethnic cleansing, the West's Gaza script is being hastily rewritten. But make no mistake: it is the same web of self-serving lies.

As if under the direction of a hidden conductor, Britain, France and Canada - key US allies - erupted this week into a chorus of condemnation of Israel.

Moscow is prepared for unconditional negotiations with Kiev based on realities on the ground, the former president has said.

Authorities in Kiev have one last opportunity to preserve some kind of statehood after the Ukraine conflict inevitably resolves, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has said, urging Kiev to engage in peace talks.

Speaking at an international legal forum in St. Petersburg on Tuesday, Medvedev - who serves as the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council - admitted that Moscow doesn't like the current political regime in Kiev "at all."

Nevertheless, he suggested that Ukraine's leaders have "one last chance to preserve, under certain conditions, after the end of military actions, some kind of statehood or, if you like, some kind of international legal personality and gain a chance for peaceful development."

Though the Ukrainian government lacks any sovereignty and is a failed "quasi-state" in its current form, Moscow remains open to holding unconditional direct peace negotiations that would take into account the current realities on the ground and address the root causes of the conflict, Medvedev stated.

On the road in Iran - The International North South Transportation Corridor (INSTC) is one of the most crucial geoeconomic/infrastructure projects of the 21st century. It unites at its core three key BRICS nations - Russia, Iran and India - branching out to the Caucasus and Central Asia.

When fully operational, the INSTC will offer a full trade/connectivity corridor sanctions-free, cheaper and faster than the Suez canal to a great deal of Eurasia. The geoeconomic consequences will be staggering.

To re-visit Iran in these times of geopolitical trouble, relentless "maximum pressure", red lines on uranium enrichment and bombing threats could not be more pressing - and enlightening.

The "presidency" of Joe Biden is one of the greatest scandals in American history. The legacy media is only now covering the mental incapacity of a president who apparently left the entire ship of state to the unaccountable bureaucracy.

On Friday, Axios released Friday night news dump audio of Biden's 2023 interview with special counsel Robert Hur.

If you heard the tape and haven't been in a coma for the past four years, then nothing here is truly surprising. The former president sounded senile and evasive when answering questions about his handling of top secret documents.


Some of my colleagues went through the full tapes and found that Biden "forgot the names of President Barack Obama's former secretary of defense and comedian Jay Leno; referred to Africa as a country, not a continent; and was unaware he had in his possession a notebook with war advice in it for Obama during his interview with special counsel Robert Hur and investigators in October 2023."

Washington will study the ceasefire road maps presented by Moscow and Kiev, the secretary of state has said.

The US does not want negotiations between Russia and Ukraine to drag on indefinitely, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said, stressing that Washington expects concrete results.

He made the remarks after Russia and Ukraine held their first direct talks in three years in Istanbul on Friday. The countries agreed to a prisoner swap involving 1,000 people on each side, and to continue contacts once both parties have prepared detailed ceasefire proposals.

Rubio, in an interview aired on CBS News' Face the Nation on Sunday, said:

"On the one hand, we're trying to achieve peace and end a very bloody, costly, and destructive war. So there's some element of patience that is required.

"On the other hand, we don't have time to waste. There are a lot of other things happening in the world that we also need to be paying attention to. So we don't want to be involved in this process of just endless talks. There has to be some progress, some movement forward."

Rubio said the US would examine the ceasefire proposals from Russia and Ukraine:

"If those papers have ideas on them that are realistic and rational, then I think we know we've made progress."

Many journalists pretend not to understand what is happening in Washington. For them, Elon Musk and Donald Trump are appropriating what they can of the federal government without changing anything. The reality is quite different: the President of the United States is trying to dismantle the imperialism his country displays. He is destroying the agencies, both secret and public, which, under various pretexts, legally finance those who carry out color revolutions and other coups d'état.

President Donald Trump made the dismantling of the "American Empire" the initial objective of his first term. He appointed General Michael Flynn as National Security Advisor [1] and immediately eliminated the permanent seats of the CIA Director and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on the National Security Council [2]. It was a bad move for him: the American imperialists joined forces with the Democrats against him, forcing him, within two weeks, to fire General Flynn, then launching all sorts of deceitful operations, including two impeachment proceedings, to accuse him of being a Russian agent in the White House.

So, armed with extensive experience, he approached his second term, still with the same objective: to dismantle the "American Empire." This time, he only addressed the substance of the issue during his speech in Riyadh on May 13. After recalling his speech eight years ago, in the same room, during which he urged Muslim states to no longer support terrorist organizations [3], he called for trade to replace war. He denounced "nation builders," "neoconservatives," "liberal NGOs," and "other interventionists claiming to reform complex societies they themselves don't even understand" to praise the vitality of the people of the broader Middle East.

A massive influx of weapons from Ukraine will hit Europe's black markets after the conflict with Russia is over, according to a new report by the Eurasia Observatory, which tracks the conflict's long-term impact on organized crime.

Western-supplied weapons and thousands of battle-hardened Ukrainian veterans are expected to fuel a wave of crime, arms trafficking, and instability across the continent - as talks between Moscow and Kiev to resolve the conflict raise hopes for a ceasefire - the document warns.

"Stockpiles of weapons, including heavy arms, are being amassed throughout Ukraine. Should the fighting stop, martial law in Ukraine will presumably be lifted, reducing the resources and powers of the state to police the civilian sphere - and opening up the field for organized crime to operate more freely."

Kiev received over $363 billion (€326 billion) in NATO aid by February 2025, according to the Kiel Institute. Porous borders and weak oversight may fail to stop smuggled weapons such as rifles, grenades, and missile systems, according to the document.

Top federal health officials actively took steps to "delay warning the public" for months in 2021 about the potential risks of heart-related complications from receiving mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, a scathing interim report from Sen. Ron Johnson's office alleges.

Starting in February 2021, federal health agencies had been alerted to "large reports of myocarditis" in young people who received the Pfizer vaccine, but waited until late June that year to adjust the vaccine labels to make that side effect known.

"Even though CDC and FDA officials were well aware of the risk of myocarditis following COVID-19 vaccination, the Biden administration opted to withhold issuing a formal warning to the public for months about the safety concerns, jeopardizing the health of young Americans," the 54-page interim report said.

Myocarditis is an inflammatory condition of the heart muscle, while pericarditis entails inflammation of the lining sac around the heart, and myopericarditis is a combination of the two ailments.
