Time Text
And welcome, folks, to Truth vs.
News Incorporated.
This is one heck of a show here on May the 12th, the day after Mother's Day.
And we've got one mother of a show to share today that you will want to watch with one eye closed, I suppose.
You might have to send the children out, especially in the second hour.
But we have got the very best people to share this show with.
We've got Jim Fetcher, the author of many books and things that are really missing here.
We've got America, Nuked on 9-11, and JFK, Who, How, and Why.
These are critical books in American history.
And, of course, we have the Nobody Died at Sandy Hook book.
Plus, what, 40 or 50 more books?
We've written and edited, well, tremendous.
And he's been our host for the last 15 years, and he has put together one heck of his show today, I tell you.
Get ready, folks.
Get ready with Brian Davidson, the best private eye in the world, around Texas.
He's got the insights that nobody else seems to have.
And then we have Joaquin Magopi from way over there in Bali, who has taken refuge back there so we can expose the rest of the world and what we call something called corruption.
And speaking of corruption, I guess we have to start off with Tucker Carlson, I think, who might have something to handle.
Well, I'm not sure about Tucker, but we do have a major development.
That's ties with Netanyahu over manipulation concerns.
Israeli Army Radio says U.S. President has cut off direct contact with Benjamin Netanyahu amid growing bilateral tensions.
U.S. President Trump has decided to cut off direct contact with PM Netanyahu, a report sent Thursday.
Yanni Kozen, correspondent for Israeli Army Radio.
Trump made the decision after close associates told Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer that the president believes Bibi is trying to manipulate him.
An Israeli official added that Dermer's tone during recent discussions with senior Republicans about what Trump should do were seen as arrogant and unhelpful.
The official said people around Trump told him, Netanyahu is manipulating you.
There's nothing Trump ate more than being portrayed as a fool or someone being played.
That's why he decided to cut contact.
Kozen pointed to the Israeli government's failure to present a concrete plan and timeline regarding Iran and Yemen's Houthis as another source of the worsening U.S.-Israel relationship.
The Army radio correspondents also highlighted the Netanyahu government has failed to offer a concrete proposal on Gaza.
They want to keep it vague so they can do whatever the hell they want.
Meanwhile, information liberation follows up.
Trump cut off contact with Bibi over manipulation concerns.
They actually cite the article we've just reviewed as their source.
Meanwhile, this might just be a bait-and-switch to get Iran to take its guard down, but with a deal Trump announced with the Houthis, even praising their bravery, It was saying the U.S., by the way, thousand-fold attacks.
It's possible we may actually be on the precipice of a sea change.
I shared an article in March about how Israelis said they were worried Trump could do a 180 at any moment and drop them like he dropped Ukraine.
As Jewish Insider, that's a publication reported.
Coined at Chatham House Sr.
Veles and former Knesset member Kasina Slovat, what happened at the White House with Zelensky shows the U.S. doesn't have a constant policy or permanent allies.
If there are no permanent allies, if Ukraine is thrown into the trash after all these years, no one is immune.
According to her, the fact that Biden had meant froze weapons shipments to Israel, Amidst diplomatic political pressure shows there are no holy cows, not even Israel.
Even in the current term, Trump can change.
If there are no constant interests or doctrines, that means anything can change.
Israel must prepare to become like Ukraine.
I, the author, heard similar.
Remarks watching a panel at the Jewish News Syndicate's International Policy Summit last week.
One panelist, Sarah Stern, of the Endowment for Middle East Truth said she's very afraid the U.S.-Israel relationship as it stands has only two years left.
She lamented the rise that the Tucker Carlson wing of the Republican Party is very scary, saying, I have to be very honest.
I'm worried.
We might have a two-year window to get a lot of coverage in Congress.
I'm very afraid the Democrats might take the House or even the Senate.
We've got a lot of work to do.
With a majority of Americans now opposing Israel, the gap between what the American people want and what our Congress is giving us is growing larger by the day.
It could soon boil over.
A poll last month suggested Chuck Schumer could potentially be ousted.
In the Senate by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, believe it or not, Israelis are afraid because they know the American public have turned against them, and the U.S.-Israel special relationship is just a house of cards built on bribes and blackmail.
They got that right.
Joaquin, your thoughts?
Well, this is welcome news for a change.
I mean...
We always thought that Trump was completely owned and controlled by Israel, and I'm not willing to say he isn't at this point.
It's initial disagreement now between him and Netanyahu.
The bottom line is he's always been completely manipulated by his donors, who are largely Jewish.
For the Israel Greater Project.
And so I'm not willing to completely abandon the idea that he's not supporting Israel, because I think he end up will be doing that.
He also has a history now, certainly in his second term especially, of flip-flopping every other day, it seems, on different issues.
So I don't know.
I mean, it's a good sign initially.
Maybe Zionist Israel is not totally in control of America, but I don't know.
I'm just holding back and saying I hope it continues this way, but knowing Trump and how owned he is, I'm not so certain.
Well, Brian.
Yeah, I'm skeptical as well.
Obviously, it's a hopeful sign, but, you know, It really comes down to put your money where your mouth is.
How much money have we sent them?
How much money are we going to continue to send them?
If nothing changes and he just simply cuts off communication, then he can expect to see some sort of blackmail drop on he or many of his colleagues pretty soon, or maybe even an assassination attempt coming from Israel.
I know that right now Netanyahu's hanging.
By a very thin string over there in Israel, the people have had enough.
They're tired of the genocide.
The military people have had enough with being told to torture and kill all these Gazan civilians.
My understanding is that the moment that the Israel-Gaza situation is over, Netanyahu is going to be ousted and sent on his way out.
And that's a good thing.
But what I'm concerned about here is that the traditional cartelish mafias are going to go all out in terms of blackmail and destruction.
Remember that Trump has very much surrounded himself with powerful allies, mostly of the Jewish persuasion.
And for the first time in a long time, I'm seeing new talk about how the Anti-Defamation League needs to be...
Defunded, cut off.
How the Israeli lobby needs to be registered as a foreign agent.
I'm seeing talk across all sorts of channels.
And what's interesting about it is if you go take a look at the comments, like, for instance, last week there was a tremendous fire that broke out.
It appeared to be directed energy weapons.
But it was one of the fiercest fires, as fierce as anything we've had.
And it was in Israel.
And of course, I went and checked the comments on some of the newscasts just to see it, and it was 95% of the commenters were sort of anti-Israel at that point in time.
And I think that gives us an indication that American people have had enough, that most people have taken the bait and the hook on the Epstein story, that we believe that the overwhelming amount of power and control that they have is directly correlated to blackmail.
And so there's still a lot left to happen, but I'm deeply skeptical that Donald Trump is going to be capable of cutting off these relations.
He doesn't like to look like a chump, and he's a pretty strong leader, but then again, he did the same thing with Zelensky, and where did that go?
We just kept the money rolling.
So, you know, we made it look like Zelensky was weak and we were going to cut off our conversations with them.
Now, maybe it was the wake-up call with the Hooties that, hey, this is not, maybe the Israelis are getting us a little too deep into things that we shouldn't be getting into, and maybe we need to cut this back.
But, you know, obviously Trump doesn't like to be backstabbed, and this Walls guy really did it.
I think.
And then there's a number of others with the story.
So it's good to see this information leaking.
But it doesn't matter what the American people know.
It matters what our elected leaders and the controllers of our elected leaders decide that they're going to do.
And as far as I can tell, the ancient Babylonian paganism of Zionism is here to stay.
The fires in this incident have been set by settlers but got out of control, and it's fascinating in terms of change of public sentiment that the BBC has run a special about the entitled the settlers, which I have watched.
It's less than an hour, and it's very powerful about their conviction of entitlement, superiority, attributing to the Palestinians all the horrendous atrocities and acts they themselves are committing.
It's one that I think is going to open a lot of eyes among the mainstream public who aren't familiar with the details of what's been taking place.
Here's Phil Giraldi.
Fed up with Bibi and Yahoo?
I past speculated the day my government, President Trump, he of a massive ego, might just become tired of being manipulated and controlled by America's Israeli lobby.
P.M. Netanyahu in particular, I thought and hoped he might become so annoyed he might move to take control of the so-called tail-wags-the-dog relationship that has for so long put Israel in the driver's seat.
I'm loath to read too much into several recent developments.
The first suggestion is that all is not well.
in Washington's relationship with what has euphemistically been referred to as America's best friend and closest ally.
Many observers are now openly voicing their view that Israel and its powerful lobby have corrupted and now control many aspects of government, starting at the top in Washington but working on the state and local levels.
Witness the near warship of Netanyahu by groveling Congress critters During recent visit to Capitol Hill, if you want a tangible display of government serving no conceivable national interest, or check out the anti-Semitism and anti-boycott legislation currently moving through Congress,
now I'm glad at least temporarily being withheld, that will strip all Americans of free speech and free association, leaving them able to demonstrate against Even criticize their own country or other nations with the single exception of the Jewish state.
If you don't believe that'll ever happen, check out the current tale coming out of San Marcos in Texas at the hands of ardently Zionist Governor Greg Abbott.
Given Jews constitute about 3% of the U.S. population, the establishment of such control through bribery in the support of compliant media is truly a remarkable achievement.
But one might plausibly argue it has done terrible damage to the country as a whole and has contributed nothing to benefit the American people.
Israel is currently carrying out a genocide against the Palestinians that is funded, armed, and provided with political cover by the Trump administration, following the model established by Genocide Joe, which could have stopped with one phone call to Netanyahu from the White House.
Unfortunately, alas, up until now, no one's been picking up the phone.
I must admit of being shocked to have read some of the recent news coverage, mostly coming out of Israeli and other foreign media, describing the rift between Trump and Bibi.
The signs trouble could be brewing might well date back to January 11th when Special Envoy Steve Whitcoff demanded a meeting in Tel Aviv with Netanyahu.
Beebe responded it was a Saturday, the Sabbath, but Witkoff, under orders from Trump, insisted, and the meeting was held.
It turned out to be a tense exchange, including a demand of a ceasefire in Gaza, drawn by the White House being implemented, and so it was.
Though Beebe later proceeded to withdraw from it and recommence hostilities, Before entering Phase 2 on March 1st, a demand by Trump that the Russian visit in Washington in early April followed, and there were reported disagreements about the admin's tariff plan and about U.S. negotiation with the mosque without Israeli input.
Discussions also concern U.S. with Iran to restore the program canceled by Trump during its first term to monitor the Iranian nuclear program to prevent it from Turning weaponized, Bibi was demanding a Libyan solution, a war including U.S. forces that would have destroyed Iran's defensive capabilities, something even a White House, disinclined to deal with reality realized, would never be accepted in Tehran.
Bibi was reported also angry at Trump's resistance to his own plans to ethnically cleanse up Palestinians while also going to war with the Iranians.
So the U.S. moved to negotiate with Amos directly, sidelining Israel, started the rebellion on the part of Washington, followed by negotiating with Iran, again without Israel's input.
Then was the issue of U.S. negotiating with Saudi Arabia, again without including Israel, over the kingdom's intention to develop its own civil nuclear program.
Finally, it was last week's decision to enter into a ceasefire with the Houthis.
After direct negotiations, described by the White House comically as a capitulation by the many's, some observers accepted language but have questioned who had done the surrendering in a war that cost in excess of a billion and accomplished nothing.
Israel, for its part, was not involved in either the talks or the agreement, leading in a grieving a vow to defend ourselves alone.
But this week, Trump sent the clearest message of all to Netanyahu.
He'd been planning to meet with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar and the Middle East, but will not meet with Netanyahu.
Secretary of Defense Heggseth also canceled a planned trip to Israel at the same time, according to two Israeli officials, reinforcing the message sent by the president.
The immediate cause of the rip was Trump had apparently hoped for a major de-escalation, even a ceasefire in Gaza, as a highlight for his trip, for which he would have taken credit.
But Bibi instead called up army reserves, some 60,000, and ordered a major escalation.
The Times of Israel reported, Trump is disappointed with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu citing two senior sources close to the president, even opinion columnist Thomas Friedman.
In "Normally careful about its reporting on Israel," the New York Times openly suggesting in a piece, "This Israeli government is not our ally." Netanyahu Admin is no longer behaving as an American friend because of the regime's extremist agenda.
Several reports rely on what are claimed to be multiple sources inside the Israeli government have claimed Trump has de facto cut ties with Bibi and will have no direct contact with the Israeli PM.
Israeli government strategic affairs minister Ron Dermer and former ambassador to the U.S. in Washington Thursday Welcome and met with Trump, he was reportedly told flatly, the U.S. will move forward on regional plans without coordinating with Netanyahu, accusing him of manipulation.
One report went on to emphasize what Trump hates most is being looked down upon and being manipulated.
There's nothing Trump hates more than being portrayed as a fool or someone being plagued.
Why he decided to cut contact with Netanyahu.
What is not being discussed in the media, but being considered in intel circles, is a possible connection of the excommunication of Netanyahu with various dismissals and relocations of high officials in Washington, including National Security Advisor Mike Walz, demoted to the post of UN Ambassador.
There seems strong evidence to suggest Beebe did not exactly trust Trump and has been spying on him in his decision-making through a number of officials in his cabinet, which explain to a certain extent the odd signal phone calls where journalist Jeffrey Goldberg just happened to be listening in,
other incidents suggesting Mossad or the Israeli embassy It would also help to explain the mixed signals coming out of the admin, suggesting some recruits are being coached on what to say to advance the NetYahu agenda.
How all this will develop, where it will wind up remains in the air.
The powerful lobbyists almost certainly cranking up to restore the Jewish state dominance of U.S. foreign policy, what Trump is now defining as manipulation.
Scientist uber-hawks are already warning the White House any agreement on nuclear development with Iran will be rejected by the legislature if it does not include a complete dismantling of all nuclear enrichment by Tehran, something not likely to be acceptable.
Which means no agreement will be possible.
Wholly owned by Israel, Senators Lindsey Graham, Tom Cotton, and Ted Cruz are leading the charge, claiming to have enough votes to block any such proposal, which means it will not be a law or treaty and could be withdrawn from by any new president, just as Trump did with the original JCPOA in 2017.
There has been some movement in the relationship between Israel and the U.S. as it is headed toward Washington regaining some independence of action in Middle East foreign policy can only be a good thing, as the lopsided relationship with Israel has brought nothing but grief and suffering.
Well, you know, but we'll continue in that more positive direction.
But there will be strong resistance, strong resistance from Congress and the media, directed by the powerful Israeli lobby.
Well, that's, I think the biggest impediment is Congress, because we think of Trump being owned and controlled by Israel.
Well, Congress, with AIPAC in their pockets all the time, AIPAC pretty much dominates through the unlimited flow of money into the pockets of these politicians.
They're all bought and sold.
I think that's probably the biggest impediment.
You know, even if something is worked out with Iran, the impediment is in U.S. Congress that are completely on the side of Israel.
So, you know, Trump, you know, and also, yeah, we're looking at his ego.
He doesn't like to have any kind of sign of weakness.
And in this case, it plays in the right direction that he makes a move.
Now, we could also look at it like at a bigger picture, aerial view, where he knows that if he goes against Iran, if he goes totally with Israel, World War III is coming next.
And the end of Israel will happen and the end of a lot of people in the Middle East, including spilling over into World War III against Russia and China, which is Iran's ally.
So there is so much at stake for the whole So maybe, maybe...
I pray to God, maybe this guy is finally on the right track.
But like I say, I don't trust the man because he's shown his true colors throughout his history that he is completely owned.
So we'll see how far this goes.
But, you know, like I say, I have my doubts.
Well, he reads the polls, and the polls are showing 53 or more percent of Americans no longer support Israel.
I think that's affecting him.
The fact that he's getting a lot of press saying he's just a Netanyahu stooge, he cannot like that.
He wants to reaffirm he's being accused of selling out to Israel.
Israel first, not America.
I think it's having an effect.
Brian?
Well, again, I think the question is, is Miriam Adelson going to ask for her $200?
$30 million back.
That's how much the Preserve America PAC basically funneled into Donald Trump's campaign.
Actually, no, it was about $215 million.
And then there was another $15 million that came from the Republican-Jewish coalition.
So it comes out to about $230 million.
You're going to have to worry about J.D. Vance, who obviously his big string puller is Peter Thiel.
Theo spent $15 million funding Vance's 2022 Senate campaign in Ohio.
Co-funded Palantir Technologies, which is CIA-backed analytics that helps generate basically kill lists of people in Gaza.
You got to worry about Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who basically is a fanatical Christian Zionist.
So there's no doubt that this is a fight that Israel needs to finish.
And he doesn't like anything about the Palestinian state.
You've got to worry about Marco Rubio.
He took in a million dollars from AIPAC and the rest of the pro-Israel lobby.
Kristi Noem, she was a big recipient, and so was Michael Walls, the guy that's in trouble.
$250,000 for his campaigns.
Pam Bondi has a problem as well.
Bondi has also proclaimed that the state of Florida goes with Israel.
You've got Tulsi Gabbard, and you've got one of the biggest problems, the UN ambassador to Israel is Mike Huckabee, Christian Zionist, another Christian Zionist that's the ambassador to Israel.
Pretty much Trump's quote-unquote MAGA dream team are all pro-Israel lobbies.
So I don't know if they're going to get the message or not.
I doubt it.
I think that this show, that this article is just wallpaper.
I think it's a nice try by Giraldi to make the point that he ought to.
But as I've said before, and as I'll say again, put your money where your mouth is.
I don't think we're going to see anything adjust at all.
I think right now it's just lip service to see how it comes across on the polls.
I guess it's two to one on this question here, because I'm more optimistic.
Meanwhile, the whole of Russia supports a Ukraine invasion.
Putin tells a victory day per raid.
A host of leaders from the Global South joined President Putin to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Russia's defeat of Nazi Germany.
Along with China's Xi Jinping, Belarusian President Lukashenko, a number of other leaders from Africa, Asia, South America, and Eastern Europe attended in defiance of Washington and London.
We're witnessing the emergence of an alliance of nations led by Russia, China, and Iran that won't be dictated to by the West.
This doesn't necessarily signal an impending military conflict, but it does mean that an international realignment of power is underway.
Seen in the context of Trump's ceasefire agreement with the Houthis, we would suggest this signifies a waning of U.S. global hegemony.
And the resurgence of Russia as a preeminent global power.
Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin said the whole of Russia supported the invasion of Ukraine as he hosted world leaders for the annual Victory Day Parade in Moscow, seen alongside China's Xi Jinping.
The Russian leader watched thousands of troops, as well as drones, ballistic missiles, and tanks, parade across Red Square to mark 80 years since the defeat of the Nazis.
On the sidelines, Putin made a point of embracing a North Korean general whose troops were instrumental in pushing back Ukrainian forces in Kursk.
Putin vowed Moscow would be victorious in Ukraine, just as the Soviet Union was in the Second World War.
Russia has been and will remain an unbreakable barrier to Nazism, Russia-phobia and anti-Semitism, Putin declared.
He added, Truth and justice are on Russia's side.
And the entire country supports those fighting in what he described as the special military operation.
We are proud of their courage and determination of the strength of spirit that has always led us to victory.
Russia has outlawed criticism of its military campaign, prompting tens of thousands to flee the country.
For the first time, Russia featured attack drones in its victory day parade, including models used in Ukraine alongside dozens of military vehicles.
It marked a shift from recent years when few tanks were displayed due to their deployment on the front lines.
Around 1,500 troops who had fought in Ukraine were among 11,000 marching on Red Square.
Some 20 other world leaders, including Robert Fico, the Slovak prime minister who defied Brussels, To become the only EU member to attend, stood alongside Putin.
Mr. Falko placed flowers on the tomb of the unknown soldier, which serves as a tribute to unidentified soldiers who died defending the Soviet Union, among the most revered sites in Russia.
In a notable gesture...
Putin paid special attention to the North Korean delegation when greeting military leaders, embracing one of their generals after shaking his hand, a level of familiarity not extended to authors.
Ponyong Tang recently sent thousands of troops to Russia, Moscow, and Ukrainian troops from the Kursk region.
All the best to you and all your troops, Bert was heard saying in his opening speech.
He went on to say the Soviet Union determined the outcome of the Second World War.
He stated the USSR took upon itself the strongest attacks of our enemies and our citizens picked up arms and defended the front lines.
His comments came a week after President Trump claimed it was the U.S. that was most important for the defeat of Nazism in the Second World War.
We won both wars.
Nobody was close to us in terms of strength, bravery, or military brilliance, Mr. Trump said.
Meanwhile, Russia flaunted weapons of war at the Braid S-35 tanks, S-400 artillery, drones and jets.
Very impressive performance.
Joaquin.
Yeah, what we're seeing is the rise of the Global South with their alliance with Iran, Russia and China.
They are the formidable force going forward.
We've seen this coming a long time ago, the shift of power from the West to the East.
The West, economically, it's going to be crashing.
There'll be empty shelves in the stores.
The trade is all crazy.
Disruptions in the supplies.
Yeah, I mean, the West is going down.
The East is rising.
But my view, the long view, is I'm afraid that the East is controlled by the same money changers of City of London as the West are.
You know, they always play two sides.
But yeah, I think you might even look upon Trump's move away from Israel as a sign where, one, he doesn't want World War III, and two, he's going to not be so hostile, we hope and pray, to the eastern powers, because that obviously is suicide for the West.
It's already, I'm afraid, a done deal.
The West is going down with or without World War III, but, you know, obviously, if it's World War III, Perhaps even the whole world goes down.
So we're seeing cataclysmic changes on this earth politically and in every aspect.
And I hope and pray that things somehow find a way of working out where peace prevailed.
It seems like Putin has always said the right words.
I can't fault him for almost anything, actually, because he's shown restraint and strength and a willingness to take on allies and be actually good for them, rather than how the Americans, as imperialists, have always exploited third-world countries, and so that the global south is rushing for alliance with Putin and Xi.
And Iran.
So, yeah, I mean, we're seeing a major shift here, and it's actually for the better, but we'll have to see how it goes.
Brian?
Well, Donald Trump's indicating that he's looking forward to getting back to the negotiations, but on Putin's speech on Victory Day, he basically pointed out how every time Ukraine asks for a ceasefire in Russia, Claims to honor it that they use it to rearm and that they basically just violate the moratoriums anyway.
Putin said that they had violated the moratoriums 130 times.
They want to be able to rely on the word of anybody that's negotiating or trying to bring peace because it seems like Russia's words just basically bounce off Ukraine because Ukraine is having their strings pulled by the European Union as well as by Western and Allied forces.
And again, we continue to send money over to them.
So in a situation like that, what does Putin want to negotiate?
He wants the authorities to basically come to the table without any preconditions, that they start right away and they've...
He picked Istanbul, Turkey as the place where they're going to do it.
They want to eliminate the root cause of the conflict and try to achieve some sustainable peace.
And he wants Ukraine to show that they're willing to take a step in the right direction in terms of their ceasefire.
But it seems like, from his perspective, every time Ukraine does a ceasefire, they just use it to bring in more arms and get themselves set up for the next time they're going to do it.
Putin says basically that it's up to Kyiv and its backers to do what's right here, and it's not going to work.
And at the same time, Kyiv is doing everything they can to try to intimidate all the foreign leaders in Moscow.
And it doesn't seem like anybody's getting magnified to a point here where these quote-unquote peace talks could really take place.
In the right way.
And again, I think Trump needs to disarm or stop sending money to Ukraine before it makes any sense to even try and negotiate with Russia.
Other than that, I think Russia should continue going in the direction they're going, if not even harder.
Simple solution.
Just stop funding Ukraine and you got the war over in 48 hours, which he originally promised he was going to do.
He could have done it.
He started out that way.
But now he seems to have fallen back.
Trump speaks with Zelensky, calls for unconditional 30-day Ukraine ceasefire.
He made the call after holding a talk with Zelensky.
Talks with Russia, Ukraine continue.
U.S. calls for ideally a 30-day unconditional ceasefire, though, as you have just observed, Ukrainians would just use it to reinforce, to reload, to replace their dead.
Hopefully.
An acceptable ceasefire will be observed.
Not much chance.
Both countries will be held accountable for respecting the sanctity of these negotiations.
If the ceasefire is not respected, the U.S. and its partners will impose further sanctions.
Upon whom?
The president's call came after the Ukrainian parliament ratified.
U.S.-Ukraine mineral deal, though there was contention about two technical agreements that still need to be signed to fully implement.
Zelensky's government hasn't shared the details of the technical agreement, leading MPs of their parliament to add an amendment to the ratification.
The extra paragraph says, ratifying the main economic agreement does not mean lawmakers will automatically approve the two technical side deals they have yet to be shown.
After speaking with Trump, Zelensky said they welcomed the Ukrainian parliament's ratification of the Economic Partnership Agreement, a truly historic document opening up many new opportunities for cooperation.
He also said he welcomed the idea of a 30-day ceasefire.
I also informed him, Ukraine is ready for a 30-day ceasefire starting even today.
We're waiting for Russia to support the proposal.
The Trump-Zolensky call came after Russia declared a three-day ceasefire for Russia's celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union's defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II.
Zelensky rejected that truce, and the two sides have accused each other of violations.
Meanwhile, Zelensky hoped for truce as to meet Putin personally in Turkey.
Ukrainian President Zelensky said he hoped for a ceasefire with Russia starting on Monday.
It'll be waiting for Putin in Turkey personally, referring to the Russian press to offer for direct peace talks in Istanbul.
Zelensky said on Sunday, the great proposal of a ceasefire during Monday remained on the table.
Kiev still waiting for a response.
Earlier, Sunday, he insisted there be a full temporary ceasefire in place before negotiations proposed by Putin could start.
Zelensky on X, So that was a positive sign.
The Russians have finally begun to consider ending the war.
The entire world has been waiting for this for a very long time.
What horse shit!
He added, the very first step in truly ending any war is a ceasefire.
There's no point in continuing the killing for even a single day.
We expect Russia to confirm a ceasefire full-lasting and reliable starting tomorrow, May 12th.
That would be today.
and Ukraine is ready to meet.
In remarks of media overnight, Putin, in effect, rejected the ceasefire offer instead and proposed restoring direct talks in Istanbul on Thursday without preconditions.
He said ceasefire might be agreed to during those negotiations.
President Trump posted Sunday President Putin of Russia doesn't want to have a ceasefire agreement with Ukraine, but rather wants to meet on Thursday in Turkey to negotiate a possible end to the bloodbath.
Ukraine should agree to this immediately.
At least they'll be able to determine whether or not a deal is possible, and if not, European leaders in the U.S. will know where everything stands and can proceed accordingly.
Al Jazeera's Zain Basravi, reporting from Kiev, said this really is an interesting political chess game Zelensky is playing.
What we're hearing from experts and analysts is this is an expert move by Zelensky because he wins either way.
He goes and shows he's leading from the front, willing to participate in talks to end the war.
And if Putin doesn't show up, it works in his favor, illustrating what Ukraine has said all along, Russia not serious about stopping the war.
Putin's offer came after leaders of Ukraine, France, Germany, Poland, and the UK also called for an unconditional 30-day ceasefire and threatened to ratchet up pressure on Moscow if it does not accept.
The leaders met in Kiev on Saturday, said they're called back by Trump as they threatened massive new sanctions on Moscow.
They claimed that...
Zelensky's been calling for pressure on Russia from international leaders, which he got this week.
Yesterday, Zelensky hosted European leaders, a symbolic visit leading to practical measures taken by the EU.
Putin slammed European ultimatums and anti-Russian rhetoric before outlining his counterproposal.
We are proposing Kiev resume direct negotiation without preconditions.
We offer the Kiev authorities to resume negotiations already on Thursday in Istanbul.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, in comments aired by Russian State TV Sunday, called Putin's proposal very serious, aimed at eliminating the root causes of the conflict, and said it confirms a real intention to find a peaceful solution.
Al Jazeera's Yerushabalava, reporting from Moscow.
Said Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs insist that Kiev misread Putin's statement about the direct talks.
According to the Russian side, negotiation between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul should take into account the results of discussions interrupted back in 2022 and, of course, the situation on the battlefield.
Turkey's President Recep Erdogan, meanwhile, told Russian and French leaders Sunday An historic turning point had been reached in efforts to end the war, and Ankara was ready to host talks.
NATO member Turkey has sought to maintain good relations with both its Black Sea neighbors since the 2022 Russian invasion, and has twice hosted talks aimed at ending the war.
Al Jazeera's Khomeb Khosiglu, reporting from Istanbul, said this time around, We are expecting Kiev and Moscow, along with Ankara, to be more careful and commit themselves to a more sustainable peace process and talks.
Because of its geopolitical position and control of the entry to the Black Sea, Turkey is in an important position, but also a very fragile one.
Trump described the talk offer as a potentially great day for Russia and Ukraine.
I will continue to work with both sides to make sure it happens.
USA wants to focus instead on rebuilding and trade.
A big week upcoming.
Joaquin, your thoughts.
Well, let's look at the temporary ceasefire that Putin called for for the Victory Day celebration.
Ukraine didn't honor that.
They never honor any ceasefire.
I mean, they're like Israel that way.
And then you look at the history.
And the history is, you know, the Minsk agreements, you know, where they were supposed to stop fighting in the Donbas region that is Ukraine.
And that was the agreement.
And then Merkel comes out years later saying it was all just the ploy.
To buy time to build up the forces of Ukraine to then go against the Donbass region, which, of course, is what happened.
So, obviously, Zelensky, Ukraine, they cannot be trusted for anything.
And Russia all along has been saying, no temporary ceasefire, no temporary, again and again and again.
So, I actually hope that Russia doesn't fall for it.
And it's also a chessboard game plan here going, where basically the lapdog Europe, EU, NATO are like...
Saying, okay, if Putin doesn't go for this, this means that he's only for war.
He's the bad guy, you know?
It's all being used as a political football against Russia if they choose not to fall for this temporary ceasefire plan.
I think it stinks, and I hope that Putin just says no.
And as far as the talks in Turkey, well, we know what happened back in, what, March, the end of March of 2022?
Just a barely month into this whole conflict in Ukraine?
We know what happened, you know?
They actually signed on the dotted line, they initialed for peace, and then Boris Johnson comes in.
City of London, errand boy.
Comes in and sabotages the whole thing.
A million people are dead over now.
And many more injured.
For what?
You know?
It's all just a chessboard to these controllers with the strings pulling everything.
So, yeah.
I want permanent ceasefire.
Trump can do that simply by saying, okay, no more weapons, no more money.
Just like you can do the same thing with Netanyahu.
Pull the strings and not have any more money or support or bombs going to Israel.
That's how to make peace in the world.
So if Trump falls short of that, that says, nope, he's still controlled by the money changers of London and there's going to be more war.
So, seeing is believing on this one.
I think the Russia of Syria Ukraine is indispensable to the new world order, and they don't want to give it up.
Brian?
Well, it's strange.
It feels as if we're getting nowhere with the Ukraine situation, but Trump and Ukraine both did sign.
Trump's sort of capitulation mineral deal.
They signed that after they had failed to get the original one signed because it had too many strings attached to it.
So the original Trump proposal required Ukraine to use mineral revenues to pay the U.S. for our economic aid that had gone out to...
Ukraine, which was like $350 billion.
But Zelensky said, I'm not going to let you have any of these minerals unless you include security guarantees for Ukraine, which basically the U.S. didn't agree to.
And that's what caused the first deal to collapse.
So they went back to the table and they, Trump did, this is crazy for the deal maker.
Now the new deal is there's no repayment for any past aid.
You don't have to pay us back any of the $350 billion that we've put into your war.
And we're not going to use mineral revenues to pay for any previous things.
So now what you're going to do is we're going to go ahead and work together to exploit all the minerals.
We're going to deposit it into an investment fund with all proceeds.
Staying in Ukraine for the first 10 years, and then after 10 years, what we're going to do is we're going to share the extraction costs 50-50, and then the new deal is that we're going to continue to backdoor Ukraine with U.S. weapons.
We're going to contribute in the form of weapons shipments, and Ukraine can use its share to buy U.S. arms.
Reopening the flow of US weapons to Ukraine.
And the funny thing is, the whole deal is so mired up in a lack of transparency because there are other conditions that are totally unknown.
So it's like a huge capitulation by Trump.
To just say, look, we're going to come in.
We're going to fund the extraction of the minerals.
We're going to repay ourselves first for what we've spent.
And then he comes back later and he says, oh, yeah, well, we'll go ahead and pay for this mineral deal.
We're going to split the cost 50-50 to extract the minerals.
We're going to put it all into a 10-year investment fund.
Oh, and by the way, I agree to continue to give you a bunch of weapons to cause trouble with Russia.
So that you can defend the land so that we can work the minerals and get the minerals out without Russia coming in and messing with us.
So does that sound like a peaceful...
I mean, it's just, it's crazy what's going on.
And Krupp's supposed to be the art of the deal, but this doesn't seem to make any sense at all to me.
Well, I think he's trusting as Russia isn't going to budge, and he thought he could manipulate, he can't.
He's just trying to save face, I'm afraid.
That's the situation we're confronting.
Meanwhile, Zion's objectives in the Judeo-Russia war in Ukraine and the importance of terminology and calling it like it is.
Young Freud.
Trump says he'll soon speak to the leader of the newly established U.S. colony in Ukraine.
There's a song by the Rolling Stones.
You can't always get what you want.
It certainly applies to Ukraine War, which really ought to be called the Judeo-Russian War.
The conflict is essentially Jewish versus Russian, because if not for the Jewish supremacist factor, the war in Ukraine would have been highly unlikely.
Historically, Russia has had problems with neighbors and other great powers for geopolitical, religio-cultural, neo-racial, or ideological reasons.
However, the only enemy Russia currently has It's Jewish supremacy power, not because of Russian antipathy toward Jews, but vice versa.
Russia patched up differences with China over issues of geography and ideology, originating in the Mal Khrushchev period.
There's always been a racial aspect of the mutual suspicion between Russia and Chinese, not because Russians have tended to conflate Mongolia with China, but the two countries have learned to respect one another.
and cooperate where they can.
Christian Russia and the Turkish tribes have a long history of political and cultural friction.
The Muslim parts of the Caucasus region remain problematic, but there's entirely a local affair as the Turkish people, including those in Turkey itself, lack global influence.
The two great European powers, opposing the greatest set to Russia, were Great Britain and Germany.
There was Napoleonic France, but that was a fluke of history as France and Russia generally found little to squabble over and, if anything, had common interest in containing the rising power of the German state.
The German-Russia conflict was partly ethnopolitical, pan-Germanism versus pan-Slavism, but also geopolitical.
As a segment of the German elites, Beginning in the late 19th century, eyed the vast territories of Russia as ripe for conquest and colonization.
Great Britain, an island nation with far-flung colonies that were in no way threatened by Russia, had a less immediate urge and even rational reason for its growing animus with a big bear.
Some of it owed to paranoia that the Russians were invested in the great game in the oil-rich Middle East and the British and Persians were Also, the vast size of Russia seemed to make the British jittery as vast and wide as the British Empire was.
It was built on water, hardly a solid foundation, whereas Russia had all that land.
There was also the cultural ideological aspect of the tension.
The progressive, liberal, and enlightened empire of the British spreading light to all mankind versus the semi-barbaric reactionary.
And Oriental despotism of the Russians, destined to be slavish by nature.
Japan, too, had a short-lived rivalry with Russia in the first half of the 20th century, traces remaining because Japan surrendered to the U.S., meaning it was spared the ignominy of surrender to the USSR as well.
Technically, it could be considered Russia and Japan are still at war, but of course, Japan is little more than a Mama san whore of the U.S. Meanwhile, DD geopolitics, Putin's angry root causes must be addressed.
In joint statement, Russian President Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasize a sustainable resolution of the war requires addressing the root causes of the conflict.
That would be Zionism.
Nazism.
They affirm their support for all initiatives aimed at promoting peace in Ukraine.
That's all history in both meanings of the term.
And the current politics in Ukraine has almost everything to do with Jewish enmity and nothing else.
Notice China developed good work in relation with Russia.
Iran, the remnant of the Persian Empire, an historic rival of Russia, now has many common interests with its northern giant.
Two are a multi-faced beast.
It has stabbed Russia in the back numerous times, but it does the same to all sides.
The current political iteration of the Great Britain, Germany, and Japan are resolutely anti-Russian, but this has nothing to do with national interests and everything to do with their civility to the U.S. empire or Jewish supremacism, which are more or less the same thing.
Indeed.
The fact that France, historically rather friendly with Russia, is just as anti-Russian as Germany and Great Britain or any member of the public states in Europe gives the game away.
France, now completely bereft of national autonomy, behaves just like all the other conquester nations.
It appeases Jewish supremacism.
It's been said the U.S. is a melting pot.
Toss salad, crazy quill.
Some multicultural thing or other.
But diversity hasn't been the defining feature of American power, at least in the ethnic sense.
The mantra of diversity is our strength would suggest there's no dominant, racial, ethnic, or cultural group rather.
The U.S. is a patchwork of various groups of different racial, ethnic, cultural, spiritual, and regional makeup, and the true state of America derived.
From the ballot's cooperation among the various demographics.
Thus, Steve Saylor, among the top 100 political donors in 2024, Jewish donations said Democratic candidates declined 33% from 20 to 24, while Jewish contribution to GOP went up 29. Among the top 100 contributors, Gentile giving to GOP was up 179%.
In truth, diversity of power in the U.S. tended to be intra-diverse or diversity of interests and viewpoints within a single racial or ethnic group rather than inter-diverse.
For most of American history, the dominant group comprised the Anglo-Americans.
And if there was a kind of diversity or checks and balances of power it was within, The Anglo-American community then between Anglo and non-Anglo.
There was a division of power among the Anglo-American, mainly owing to the vastness of the country.
Just like colonial, Anglos split off from their Anglo-motherland of Great Britain.
The various Anglo-American communities, especially in the South and West, saw things different from the Eastern establishment, at least when it came to domestic affairs.
In foreign policy, however, The powers concentrated in the core-established institutions in the East, resulting in far greater consensus.
The fact that even German-Americans, the largest ethnic minority group for much of American history, mainly sought assimilation into the Anglo-American model rather than challenge it with their own brand of Germano-Americanism is a testament to the prestige and privilege of the Anglo-American elites.
The crunch time for the German-Americans was World War I, the first time the U.S. found itself at war with Germany, and most German-Americans sheepishly caved to pressure.
Throughout the 20th century, the various white ethnic groups, and of course the blacks, grew increasingly restless for reasons cultural, sociocultural, racial, political.
with Anglo-American, German-American, and various ethnic American gradually but surely melting into a generic category called White America.
It became less a case of non-Anglo-Whites assimilating into Anglo-America as a two-side meeting halfway to define a new Americanism.
Even so, the main body of the American narrative was still Anglo-American, with a myth of the Founding Fathers, the quasi-official language was English, And perhaps most importantly, the elite circles remained above the fray of white genericism, then coming into among hot poli, and instead retained the attitudes, manners, and sensibilities of the Eastern establishment, thus to be part of the vaunted elite society.
All Americans with elite ambitions ought to be a credit to their race, ethnicity, or religion by emulating the Anglo-American elite model.
Hey!
They murdered millions of people for banks and corporations, and the American people do nothing.
But in time, it all came crashing down.
Jews led the charge, but didn't want to be conspicuous as the only upstarts, and so promoted the idea of diversity and meritocracy.
Not always a logical pair.
Indeed, initially, diversity was synonymous with meritocracy.
May the best man win be white-backed, Christian, Jew, Anglo-Italian, Catholic, Asian, or whatever.
It was deemed unfair to limit Jewish admission to elite colleges in favor of Anglo-white Christian applicants.
If Jews are smarter or more studious, they should enter in greater numbers.
If blacks excel in sports, let them compete fairly with whites in sports, even becoming dominant in representation.
But when certain vocal or prominent demographics, especially blacks, failed to live up to expectation in certain fields, diversity was then invoked to argue for inclusion, even at the risk of inferior qualifications or incompetence.
At any rate, this diversity thing didn't pan out as sharing a power of prestige.
Take sports for example.
The NBA and ML aren't about all races equally taking part in the game, but about blacks dominating the field, along with some whites, while non-blacks mostly participate only as fans or spectators.
Likewise, power politics hasn't been about diverse groups gaining equal access to the control room.
Instead, Jews got to be captain of the ship, steering its direction while the rest worked to keep it running, while every group had a place on the ship.
Whether manning the engine room, working in the kitchen, sweeping the deck at set, the role of captain is occupied by one group, the supremacist-minded types among the Jews.
That, I regard as quite a brilliant piece, where we'll get your comments when we return from our break.
Don, take us out.
No, it's quite the right up there.
Pretty heavy, guys.
So you want to come back and get some time.
Good discussion on this and other things.
And I want to help with that next hour.
We're going to have some things that children shouldn't see.
So it's going to be a heavy time.
So come on back.
You're not going to want to miss it, but you're not going to want to see it either.
Okay.
