I made the notation during the Tucker Carlson interview that Russian President Vladimir Putin knows everything below in this article about Russian Sanctions and the formation around a dollar-based U.S. CBDC. Unfortunately, Tucker Carlson does not know the specifics of how it is being constructed.
As I continue deep meetings and very granular discussions about the lessons within the EU that can be applied to the USA, it is worth revisiting this previously password protected post.
I went to the EU, because deep inside all of my research on Russia, things did not make sense. I was very prepared and organized to expect everything sketchy, and what I found surprised me. Putting boots on the ground, I now have a completely clear and different view.
Let me start by saying everything we have read about the Western sanctions against Russia is false. What sanctions might exist do not have any impact, and Eastern Europe has no intention to anger Putin. When Brussels threatens to kick Hungary out of the EU/NATO, I can almost hear Viktor Orban saying, “Don’t threaten me with a good time.” Hungary doesn’t even use or rely on the €uro for domestic financial transactions; they still retain their own national currency, the Hungarian forint or HUF.
First things first with the Western financial sanctions- specifically the SWIFT exchange. It is true you cannot use VISA, Mastercard or any mainstream Western financial tools to conduct business in Russia; however, the number of workarounds for this issue are numerous. One of those tools is the use of a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin; and within that reality, you find something very ominous about the USA motive.
Crypto users are likely familiar with stories like Binance and the US regulatory control therein. Factually, outside the USA Binance is being used to purchase and trade crypto without issue, but inside the USA it is regulated. That brings me to the MEXC crypto exchange, a Mexican version, again available globally but not allowed in the USA. The same applies to Metamask, used all over Europe but not permitted in the USA. Start to ask yourself, why all these crypto exchanges are available to the rest of the world but not the USA, and you start to suspect the Russian sanctions, just like the Patriot Act, are something else entirely.
Then there’s app wallets. You might be familiar with Apple Pay as a process to handle transactions from your iPhone. Apple Pay is linked to your bank account. Well, the “wallet feature” exists on other apps also, like Telegram; however, you can find the wallet feature, but if you try to use it from a USA cell phone… “This feature is not allowed in your region.” Why are digital wallets available for the rest of the world but blocked by the U.S. government?
This brings me to several crypto conversations in the EU at various cafes with people who have a deep understanding. The commonly accepted bottom line, the Western sanctions, organized by the Biden administration and US Treasury, were not intended to put financial walls around Russia; they were designed to put control walls around the USA. Russia was the useful justification.
Here’s how it really looks from the outside looking at the USA. The same way the Patriot Act was not designed to stop terrorism but rather to create a domestic surveillance system. So too were the “Russian Sanctions” not designed to sanction Russia, but rather to create the financial control system that will lead to a USA digital currency.
Now, does the exploding debt and seeming govt ambivalence take on a new perspective? It should, because that unspoken motive explains everything. This is not accidental folks.
Again, the western sanctions against Russia are not having an impact against Russia; they are having a quiet impact in the USA that no one is permitted to talk about.
♦LOGISTICS – Despite popular opinion to the contrary, it is entirely possible to travel all over Europe without being tracked. If you pick an entry point into the EU (Schengen Area), once inside, you can travel without any national checkpoints or passport checks. It is also entirely possible to fly all over the EU without ever giving a passport number when you book the flight. The trick is to know which airline. You are a name on a passenger manifest, nothing more.
Bottom line, travel around the EU is less controlled, tracked and monitored, than travel inside the USA. Yes, let me emphasize; freedom of travel is greater in the EU than it is in the USA. This was completely unexpected.
♦GROUND REPORT – You might ask how I know the Russian sanctions are ineffective – here’s an example. After doing advanced research, I went to three separate banks as a random and innocuous customer. I put my reason in the kiosk at each bank, got my ticket number and sat down to listen to the conversations. When my ticket number came up on the digital board, I just ignored it and sat for hours listening to conversations. No one ever noticed or questioned me – not once.
At every one of the banks, the majority of the customers, at the “new account” desk, were foreign nationals asking about setting up business accounts to trade with Russia. In every bank the conversations were friendly and helpful, with the bank staff telling the customers exactly how to set up their account to accomplish the transactions. No one was saying no; instead they were explaining how to do it in very helpful detail.
Within Russia, there are now 3rd party brokers with international accounts, an entirely new industry, which creates a layer of transactional capability for the outside company to sell goods into Russia. A Samsung TV travels from South Korea to the destination in the RU with the financial transaction between manufacturer and retailer now passing through the new ‘broker’ intermediary. Essentially, that process is what was happening in the banks for small to medium sized companies.
♦ Back to the crypto and digital wallet angle. In addition to financial/transactional brokers for durable goods into Russia, there is now an entire industry of selling telephone id’s with EU phone numbers to process the transactions that are blocked by the USA sanction regime.
Meaning, a person could buy a phone and register a phone number from within the EU, and then go back to the USA and access all the blocked/restricted financial processes [Binance (non-US), Metamask, MexC, Telegram digital wallet etc]. This would permit them to do untracked financial transactions into and out of Russia from the USA without the USG knowing about them (sanction workaround).
[DISCLAIMER: in the interest of my own legal risk, I did not do this; I’m just explaining.]
I am not smarter than the U.S. intelligence community, so what does this mean?
This means the U.S. government knows exactly why the Russian economy is thriving, the Ruble is stronger against the dollar, and there is nothing -not one thing- visible or different on the ground in Russia that an ordinary Russian citizen would notice. In fact, the Russian economy is doing fine, better than before the Ukraine conflict initiated, albeit with new financial industries created by the sanctions.
If the US government knows this, then why the sanctions?
Asked and answered. The Western sanctions created a financial wall around the USA, not to keep Russia out, but to keep us in. The Western sanction regime, the financial mechanisms they created and authorized, creates the control gate that leads to a U.S. digital currency.
In essence, the Ukraine war response justified a system that creates a digital dollar.
I will have more, but for now just think about this aspect.
TY. Be careful.
Very, very careful. Safe travels where ever you are.
Sundance, your entire Hole-in-The-Wall gang which has gotten quite large seconds that.
Retired Magistrate here: So, we are in the cage looking out; all brought to you by the United States government. Not a warm and fuzzy feeling!
Well Marc, we are all being put in that cage. We are all in this together, come hell or high water.
Sincerely, your neighbors to the North…..
Well…they actually built the cage around us while we “sat still”.
This overly corrupt administration’s version of the iron curtain, without it being so obvious.
It is getting more obvious.
Ron Paul was correct several years ago when he warned that “border walls can keep people in as well as out.”
Rhodesia was the first nation to be Fabian Globalist “sanctioned” by the scumbag UN so it could be bankrupted, ethnically cleansed, to be made a China colony
So very sad. This Cabal needs ti be ended.
Using cultural marxist “racial justice” to achieve their results while masking their real intentions of destroying the Christian bloc of African nations to turn Africa into Chinese colonies. South Africa/Rhodesia/Portugal would never consent to be African colonies, so they destroyed them
British South African Police…
They helped allot. The South African military did not betray Rhodesia, their government did.
How’s those farms and food production doing over there?
Remember…they are applying the South African model right at your doorstep.
Exactly right. Racial Justice= starvation.
Reposting for those who missed it. If you look what they lyingly said & promised for Rhodesia & Zimbabwe & others and see how they ended up……………………………………
“On June 5, 1873, in a letter to The Times, Sir Francis Galton, the cousin of Charles Darwin and a distinguished African explorer in his own right, outlined a daring (if by today’s standards utterly offensive) new method to ‘tame’ and colonise what was then known as the Dark Continent.
‘My proposal is to make the encouragement of Chinese settlements of Africa a part of our national policy, in the belief that the Chinese immigrants would not only maintain their position, but that they would multiply and their descendants supplant the inferior Negro race,’ wrote Galton.
‘I should expect that the African seaboard, now sparsely occupied by lazy, palavering savages, might in a few years be tenanted by industrious, order-loving Chinese, living either as a semidetached dependency of China, or else in perfect freedom under their own law.’” (Member of the Fabian Society-Globalists)
How China’s taking over Africa, and why the West should be VERY worried
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1036105/How-Chinas-taking-Africa-West-VERY-worried.html
Colkitto, your comments about Rhodesia elicited flashbacks to a couple of years in my life a long time ago. I had a good friend in the USAF many years ago (he has sadly passed on). He was born in Salisbury (now Harare) in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and his parents and grandparents were also born in Rhodesia. He came to the USA for college and entered the US military after graduation; he became a naturalized US citizen during his military career. He spoke several languages, including Afrikaans, was fluent in a few of the the indigenous Bantu languages (Shona, et al), and Zulu. He was looking forward to his retirement from the USAF so he could enter the civilian workforce in the US. He was eager to fill out applications listing himself as African-American. He figured he was more African-American than 99% of those Americans calling themselves African-American: he was born in Africa, spoke African languages, was an American (by naturalization), — oh, and he was white as snow! He was a great story teller, he had a wicked sense of humor, and he could drink like an Irishman. The work we did together was all “burn before reading;” but he was a helluva intelligence analyst.
Ty for the personal story. They were a very courageous people. They did not have a real fifth column in their country for the main reason they had a strict immigration policy, which SA did not follow despite the efforts of Dr Verwoerd & other patriots. Many of these immigrants children became the racial agitators & enemies of the very nation that had taken their parents in during the 1930’s as “refugees” fleeing mainly Eastern Europe.
Immigrant to revolutionary within one generation. And we are seeing that now with many of the Soros sponsored “Justice Democrats”.
Slainte & thanks again
During times of inflation etc, I always remember my dad saying “there is a lot of money out there floating around, doing nothing”.
And a question on those sanction workarounds…do those phones work in Ukraine? Asking for Hunter….
Is the digital dollar created by our masters for depopulation purposes?
To seize and/or control your financial assets.
They can steal all my financial assets.
They will never own my most valuable possession.
That of my ability to produce, to innovate, to create where there was nothing.
And what about those who aren’t as blessed with skills like yours that worked hard all their lives and saved?
Do they matter? Or do you care about your fellow Americans?
Playing the devil’s advocate? Very well.
I do care, so very much. I cared enough to sacrifice personal opportunities to serve as I have in the military and elsewhere. Not all that the military does has been wrong.
I’m not blessed with financial resources, nor is my family. Tragedy and unfortunate circumstances have been significant financial obstacles on my path in life. Yet I continue on, only by determination for a better future despite the setbacks.
I’ve have answered the call before out of a sense of duty that mere words are not enough to convey. Another day is approaching that has that familiar call.
Do not mistake my intentions. I know what my choice is, and has been.
Selfless Duty.
👍. All good.
All’s fine.
Debate and rapport build understanding and fellowship amidst differing perspectives.
Who can be against that?
Amen. We are many. We are watching. We will come when it’s time.
when it’s time? the good ship uss titanic is seeking at the bow. it’s past time dad.

Depopulation of people like us for sure.
Sundance I sure hope you are feeding this info to one Donald J. Trump. Along with your research from before the election.
Trump knows. He’s already stated very recently that there will be CBDC when he gets in office.
More current comments by President Trump:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2024/02/02/trump-calls-central-bank-digital-currency-very-dangerous-after-vowing-to-prohibit-feds-digital-dollar/?sh=6afc1c4c4984
👍
IIRC, (and I do!) PDJT expressed pleasant surprise (theatrics?) that his audience knew about CBDC’S.
I would certainly suggest at the least redpilling your local congressional aide & Senator aides with info from the CTH like I was suggesting and did a while back with the excellent Fedsurrection article. I did a test run a long time ago to see who would run the UN roasting the African kids story and who wouldn’t. Lawrence Hall the fake Black racial agitator would not, but then wrote an article calling for US taxpayer debt dollars to go to the UN. I had a list of who did and did not and was surprised by the many who did not. This was around the Buchanan 96 run, I found out a whole lot of fake patriot media & personas were exactly that, frauds.
Surprise me. NOT!!!
President Trump has stated publicly there will be NO CBDC under his leadership.
I believe you omitted “No” in your statement.
TY. Must have fat fingered it. I did mean ‘no’ though.
😂😂😂
I’m looking out for your reputation; never know who is going to come along in a few hours and spew hatred all over you!
..that there will be “no” CBDC once he’s in office ….
I hope he goes one step further and ends the Fed.
AMEN!!!
In the meantime, starting now, if not yesterday, pray and fast—daily, if not more frequently!!!
He has said he is against it repeatedly,
I meant “no”. Sorry for the confusion.
Don’t you mean he’s stated there will be NO cbdc when he gets into office?
Don’t you mean there will be NO CBDC or did I miss something?

So it would seem that the Russian bear isn’t the enemy it’s made out to be after all. I have always found that the news in eastern Europe provided more useful insight to US policy and domestic finance than the news I received back home. The 1987 financial crash was evident in Russian news several months prior to the Oct crash for example.
Putin made a very direct comment during his Tucker interview. He credited Napolian but said
“Don’t interrupt your enemy when they’re destroying themselves”, referring to the US
Hasn’t been the enemy since the fall of the Soviet Union.
But the Military Industrial Complex needed a bogeyman, and the American public was long ago scared about ‘Russian nukes’ so we (we who only paid attention to the TV news) were kept from knowing the change in their political leadership was far more than just a change in their country’s name.
Oh, there was some psyop propaganda going around as well that they had spies here converting us to communism. There were people doing that but mostly home grown.
Yes. “Home grown” is accurate. I don’t think that continued to be supported by Putin. After all, he was busy trying to reform his own nation in the opposite direction, so trying to communize America would have been counterproductive. The communist Left in America has been driven by the ideologically hardcore Left for at least two decades. I’m sure they are also still in many other countries as well including Russia but IMHO the world is slowly waking up from their propaganda. Now we are fighting the globalist fascists who have taken control of governments via the large banks and multinational corporations.
Here’s proof that Putin is closer to Trump than any communists.

I know nothing about crypto currency; but having to rely on a tracked and monitored internet to use it seems to be a BIG shortcoming.
I can’t suggest any work around if the dollar is eliminated and all goes digital.
Gold isn’t the answer due to practicality. Neither my grocer nor my fuel merchant knows what they’d use for return change from the value of my coin or bullion.
Trust God. Mathew 6, among other verses are where my confidence comes from.
Ammunition, AS currency.
It comes in different denominations, and with different quantities.
It is impractical to counterfeit.
Retains its value, so immune to the vagaries of the economy.
And has an intrinsic value.
Silver is a far more practical currency for DURING hard times, than gold.
Gold, jewels and art are for CARRYING your wealth THRU hard times, so you will have them, intact on the other side.
I’m focusing on quantities of common ammo, and guns, and silver.
Crypto too complicated for me, too. And too relient on a functioning I-net, and power grid.
I used to wish I was in Scotland, Ireland, Australia, or Canada, now no way. There is chatter amongst South African ex-pats of returning there because they see the same thing happening in Australia & NZ that they saw in SA with the “democracy” revolution sponsored by the Fabian Globalists so they can turn Africa over to China. I don’t agree because the fight is not finished. I am greatly encouraged by the numbers I see of MAGA as opposed to the 90’s.
‘A Most Lamentable Failure’Their attack on Stormberg Junction went wrong at every stage, the first of three defeats during the British army’s ‘Black Week’ in the Second Boer War.

Dutchman, you are correct. There are many millions of us who are preparing for worst. Yet praying for the best.
gold to restart a banking system.
If what I researched is correct and my math is correct there is only about $15.2 trillion (current U. S. Dollar exchange rate) in gold above ground at present. That’s jewelry (the largest percentage) coin, bullion, electronics, other.
About a seventy feet cube. The historic 16:1 gold/silver ratio is now about 95:1. All central banks are creating (printing) fiat and shorting gold with one hand and buying gold with said fiat from the other hand.
The “Barter System” is as old as mankind…it will work itself out! You go ahead and play the government control, I am planning TO BE FREE. I will rely on the precious metals…Gold, Silver…and of course Lead to protect what is mine for as long as I can. WOLVERINES!
“Bottom line, travel around the EU is less controlled, tracked and monitored, than travel inside the USA. Yes, let me emphasize; freedom of travel is greater in the EU than it is in the USA. This was completely unexpected.”
So in other words, American citizens have almost as much freedom of travel in Europe as illegal aliens have in America.
The powers that be (damn them all) keep talking about how much they “care” (oh so sincerely) for our “well being.”
The walls are indeed being constructed…
For our ” safety”.
And no doubt “for the greater good.”
Nah, taking out Russia was mission #1 in this endeavor…The US fully expected the sanctions to work, just like they have in the past. In this case the West simply misjudged the resilience of the Russian market. The West continues on with the sanctions for the same reason they continue to send $ and what few weapons systems they have left…Stupidity!
Sanctions to take out a country, huh? A first world country at that?
And all that research about how we Americans are limited where we can spend our money, but citizens of other countries are under no such restrictions.
And CBDC and its inherent threat to our finances is just a myth?
Got it.
There ain’t no border invasion either.
Yeah, and Sundance also predicted Russia wouldn’t march into Ukraine in order to liberate the ethnic Russians in the Donbas in ’22. And why do you assume the sanctions only had one purpose?
Wrong again.
2/11/22 post on invasion – 3rd paragraph.
Gave two scenarios for Russian military exercises:
Cover for invasion; or
Cover for WH claim of one.
Stated it was ‘likely’ the later.
Twisting words, huh?
Looky, a new Sundance detractor!
👁️
Just as an FYI, over the many years of reading and posting here, SD has been wrong 1 time. Once. Uno.
He admitted so, and moved on.
Id say that’s a pretty good record. Seems to me you are just here to stir the pot. You can get off your high horse anytime, it aint a good look hoss…..
And as Black just pointed out there were 2 scenarios.
Take the L…..
🎯
SD’s track record = that of El Rushbo, who was correct “99.7% of the time”.
On loan from God 🙏 his 3rd year gone coming up Sat. Hope God helps remind me of the infinite wisdom he spoke daily 😊
Not so sure.
Sundance is argueing the sanctoons on Russia were NEVER INTENDED to hurt Russia, the purpose all along was to use the war with Russia as an EXCUSE to set up the sanctions, in order to trigger an economic war with BRICS, that would crash the dollar, creating a crisis they could use, to justify instituting a CBDC alternative.
At least, I THINK thats the narrative.
And with CBDC, they can collect their longed for carbon credit tax.
Sorry, if I am jumping ahead.
What Sundance has said and what SharkDiver has said are not mutually exclusive.
Thank you! Some folks are having trouble keeping up.
Yeah they are.
Sundance says it’s “intentional.”
Shark Diver is saying it’s stupidity (unintentional consequence).
Reinforcements?
Nice try.
I really doubt that all those pushing for sanctions thought they would completely fail. Most of them just aren’t that smart.
Conspiracy Against The Dollar.
You may have forgot effectively deny gun ownership.
They may be fools, but they aren’t stupid. And there may (definitely are) some useful idiots mixed in, but the leaders who control the levers of power know exactly what they’re doing. It was and is a power play and a control play. If they really expected the sanctions to work why would they demand weapons? Why would they block US access to wallet features and regulate crypto? Evil, yes. Stupid, no.
I went through President Putin’s discussion and found the place where he talks about this. He is discussing the US dollar and how important it is for the US. Using the dollar as a weapon of foreign policy only reduces the use of the dollar, makes other countries look around for some safe means to protect their economies from that weaponized dollar. Putin says that this is a strategic mistake. He then asks:
“Do you even realize what is going on or not? Does anyone in the United States realize this? What are you doing? You are cutting yourself off… all experts say this. Ask any intelligent and thinking person in the United States what the dollar means for the US? You are killing it with your own hands.”
Sometimes, even with an opponent, you want a WORTHY opponent, and if your opponent is behaving in a really stupid fashion, you get frustrated with them for making such a stupid play.
That is true.
Putin (like many Russians) does respect strength, even (or especially) when we have it.
Putin is frustrated and dismayed by the USA. Putin sincerely wanted Russia to enter the family of man through western alliances after the disaster of Communism. USA is playing a zero sum game.
He said exactly that. Thank you Belle.
Before the U.S. killed Gonzalo I remember in one of the videos he told how much a pack of Marlboros cost…they were about a third of the cost of US cigs.
I’ve also seen several tours through Eastern bloc stores showing the same thing — much lower food prices.
Enjoy this Ukraine tour about 6 months into the SOP.
The US has always taxed the hell out of tobacco and alcohol; that is more than 60% of the final cost…
but pot and other drugs are a.okay!
Maryland sales tax 6%,alcohol 9%.thank you gov Omalley.
Smokes in Russia cheaper than North Carolina where they were grown and rolled back in 96/97.
No outrageous government skimming like in USA. It’s called a “sin” tax and federal, state and local elbow each other on the way to the trough. At least $1.00 plus to feds off the top and then the state gets up to $5.00 (NY) then the locals get theirs. Out of a $7.00 plus pack of smokes! The cigarettes themselves are cheaper than dirt but they’re taxed to death because the people allow it. Same with alcohol, gambling and mary jane
Charlie Reese did a longer one, perhaps too long for here.
The tax poem
the-tax-poem
The Tax Poem
Tax his land, Tax his bed, Tax the table at which he’s fed.
Tax his tractor, Tax his mule, Teach him taxes are the rule.
Tax his work, Tax his pay, He works for peanuts anyway!
Tax his cow, Tax his goat, Tax his pants, Tax his coat. Tax his ties, Tax his shirt, Tax his work, Tax his dirt.
Tax his tobacco, Tax his drink, Tax him if he tries to think.
Tax his cigars, Tax his beers, If he cries tax his tears.
Tax his car, Tax his gas, Find other ways to tax his ass.
Tax all he has, Then let him know, That you won’t be done till he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers, Then tax him some more, Tax him till he’s good and sore.
Then tax his coffin, Tax his grave, Tax the sod in which he’s laid.
Put these words Upon his tomb, ‘Taxes drove me to my doom…’
When he’s gone, Do not relax, Its time to apply the inheritance tax.
And now they tax breathing………climate change!
(My FIL always said they’d tax breathing too if they could find a way….and they have.)
Remove the excessive taxes and the Big government will shrink
Just eliminate the entire FED. That would free us, and the entire world!!!
Easier said than done, I know!
Hi Monti, ty for stopping by friend
Hey Colkitto
“Now my advice for those who die…. Declare the pennies on your eyes.”
HT Lennon/McCartney 1966
I meant to specify American brand cigarettes purchased in Moscow in 1996
“Cheap” can be a relative term. In conversion terms, FSU v US, the products might seem less expensive to us.
However, there is the matter of what it takes to buy those products, one’s work product.
Forex, when I was in Odessa, my girlfriend at the time was an ER doc at the hospital and made a very good living, for there, 150 bucks or so a month. She also lived in an apartment that was provided to her at the end of Communism .
At that time, I was making over 100 grand a year in the shop, enough that it allowed me to spend months at a time elsewhere in the world. ‘Stuff’ in the FSU was inexpensive in the extreme, to me. Very much not so to the locals, many of whom were surviving on 50-100 bucks US a month in local hryvnia.
Stores and farmer’s markets were full of stock. Those who could afford it had lots of options. Heck, my girlfriend’s daughter even had braces on her teeth. Many barely survived.
It’s all relative.
So, what I’m hearing is crypto will be the answer to avoid using a US cbdc.
Crypto will be banned in the US. How are you going to trade it? Impossible.
How can it be banned? That would be impossible.
TThey’ll use a pen and a phone.
I am still not confident THEY will be able to overcome the many, significant challenges to actually instituting CBDC’s.
I don’t argue that THEY very much WANT them,..but I think they may finally run into the wall that represents the limits of their capability.
I have been paying attention to your ammo currency by the way. It’s pretty smart.
Alternative currencies will become mainstream in the event of a cbdc. I think we will see a mixed bag. I might use the government digital currency to pay my mortgage for example and some other currency (crypto, ammo, silver, barter) for other purchases.
All crypto trading is reported to the IRS.
One has to go to the dark web and strip out and rebuild their computer to trade clandestinely.
One caveat about ammunition in times of strife. Know one’s trading partner. What one trades in this case can be used to kill one and take whatever one has besides their life.
If choosing this barter item, stock commonly used denominations. For most that may not be something to think about but those of us who collect historical weapons of war it could be. Forex, I own nothing that uses the most commonly used type, like Kyle used to take out those mercenaries in Kenosha. Not stocking that type would be short-sighted.
Kyle showed how relatively easy it could be to stop it, while LE were told to not protect properties and citizens. I can remember the growing militia movement of the 90’s and how they defused it, with their OKC false flag.
I have ammunition as currency, .22,.223, 9mm, 12g buck.
And then I have MY ammo, for use. .410, 45LC and 7.62 x 54R.
the last, tricked out and scoped, is ,….overseeing any significant transactions, from 500 yards away and well scoped.
Small denomination generic silver bullion. One ounce units, no fancy-schmancy commemorative stuff, just the plain vanilla kind. Readily available today at about $22 per piece. STOCK UP while you can.
Was in a large regional bank on Friday.
The branch manager said they won’t be doing anything with it in an election year.
She said she’d know if they were.
Additionally, she told me with all of the opposition in some states and other countries that she doesn’t believe it will happen.
Dont forget, they are losing,
Dutch, I could be wrong, but I think they’ve been working on it for quite awhile. Not that I like that idea (CBDC’s).
Was it in the late 30s when ALL the gold was recalled?
Saint Franklin made it illegal to privately own gold, in whatever form.
To me it seems that is what is happening with all their Trump persecution schemes. Especially the court cases ( yeah I know it’s not over but it’s not going their way) I credit pushing back and Devine Providence. We have to keep working and fighting back. Lawfully of course. If and until they force their hand.
I am waiting patiently to find out what the plan is to rectify this situation.
To me, I would prefer to see good change(s) than complain about making change(s) to what is going on.
Results from efforts, rather than inaction. “Take the hill~!”, rather than just look at it. 😉
Regardless of what may happen, I still remember & stand by the oath I took more than once, about “defending against enemies both foreign & domestic” , and while I would hope & I pray that things can be fixed with peace & without what might come to pass, should things go further astray. IOW, Prez Thos. Jeffersons quote about the “Tree of Liberty” being refreshed, comes to mind.
( BTW, in mentioning the “Tree of Liberty”, it is not lost on me that I am, right now, in a “Treehouse”.) 😉
I will continue to wait patiently for someone to come up with a solution for the issues that we currently are facing.
Preferable someone will offer a peaceful remedy.
I stand, even though I am into my 60s now, and not as healthy & able as I once was, I am still willing to participate in any ways & using any means reasonably possible, to assist in solving the issues, if/ when/where I can do so.
Right now, “sand in the gears” is all I can think of that one can do, until something better is offered as a solution.
I don’t know how long it will be before good change(s) is/are made, but I hope something comes into play sooner than later. I would like to see it sooner. 😉
GOD Bless~!
I am sceptical that we can accomplish what needs to be accomplished, by adhearing to laws our enemies are ignoring, and without the conflict, at some point getting wet.
I await, and can hope,…but while I hope for the best, I PREPARE for the worst.
Agreed.
Si vis pacem, para bellum.
Welcome home!! Nice to have you back and looking forward to more detailed explanations for those of us who are NOT tech/financially savvy but would like to know how to structure things in a safe and simple way!
Ahem…
The digital dollar has existed for quite some time.
Our Government no longer prints money by the Trillion.
That is a mouse-click.
The money cost’s more to print than it is worth.
The end-goal is to eliminate all physical currency.
That way, all transactions can be tracked from nose-to-tail.
Used against you and taxed as well.
It is so transparently obvious.
Don’t forget it was Nixon that ” Temporarily ” departed the gold standard at $25.00 an ounce.
Nixon “opened up” China, as well.
Sundance, listen to the Lex Fridman- Balaji Snirivasan interview. Trump nominated him for the FDA – the senate didn’t like it.
He wrote The Network State (free to read at or download PDF at thenetworkstate.com). The interview is about 7.5 hours long and is amazing.
Balaji discusses solutions to exit from Fed, FDA, etc. (topics are time stamped in description)
We have lived down here in the woods, on the lake, since 2014.
Until most recently, I have felt comfortable, happy and undeterred in whatever endeavor I chose to partake in.
However, recently I feel very uneasy. There is no reason locally for this uncomfortable feeling.
Somehow I sense that something is wrong and that something is going to happen.
I’ve felt this way before, usually before an unhappy or life-threatening incident.
Don’t know why. Don’t know how. Don’t know who is involved.
But I don’t doubt what I am feeling and I don’t like it one bit.
I feel it too !!!
Yes, I know what you mean . . . the-other-shoe-is-about-to-drop feeling.
Me and you both.
Every day lately.
I know that feeling. Often (more and more) when it comes over me I never get the answer why. But it could very well be from something I never get direct confirmation on, remain clueless to.
SO MUCH is happening behind our backs…….
Foreboding. I have been dragging it around with me for a while now. I pray that we can straighten things out on the peaceful side, but I am a realist. These mass murderers and criminals will become desperate to hide their crimes and hold onto power.
Prayers are very powerful and a big help as this battle is being fought on many fronts and not just on this plane.
My foreboding relates as much to these millions of illegals. They are not only flooding cities but many are in rural areas.
When the gov dole ceases….and the have no money, no shelter, no food……..look out Lucy non of us can expect to be safe from intrusion.
Yes friend, same. Immigration has always been my #1 concern and was why I was a Pat Buchanan Brigader in 92 & 96. They cut their cards and unleash them onto Heritage America. The brainwashed Liberals are going to be the first to go. Any Treepers in Democrat urban areas, Sundance & others have been warning to get out asap. In Angola there was some ethnic cleansing attempts they do not want you all to know about. I have not linked them here because of conflicts of belief on other issues. My family went through something like that in the 60’s here though
I feel the same. In my small rural town, there are many questionable adults living in one house not far from us. They walk down the road all the time with most wearing hoods up even when the weather is nice. I had one come walking up my drive as I stood outside, he spoke with a Mideastern dialect saying he was looking for work. Sure he was. I had my iphone in my hand talking to someone, thankfully. He made me very nervous.
I know it sounds silly but personally I wish wearing hoods up on hoodies could be outlawed. I saw a guy on one of the recent Trump rally videos that was inside the building w/his hood on. No need for that other than to shadow his face.
We used to call them sweat jackets, they were not a fashion statement or a disguise for criminal activity back then. I now see them as a symbol, much like tats on the neck, just avoid the person. That may be extreme, but no one needs to be wearing a hood over their head inside or as you mention the weather being nice.
Exactly where my unease comes from
Some countries have emptied their jails onto our streets. So, even with all the freebies, there is danger of violence. But, when the freebies are gone it will be a madhouse.
You are not alone.
I agree. I look around everyday and don’t see a thing. People not knowing what is imminent. Like you, I have the yucky feeling, but can usually back track to get to the root of the feeling. Not this time.
I actually feel braver now than I ever have. Just not afraid I guess. Not for me anyway. My kids and grandkids are a worry that is unavoidable but worth fighting for. I know what I know and trying to live life “normally”; going about my business as usual is increasingly difficult. My youngest grand is getting baptized on the 25th. Good for my son and DIL, but is only for my benefit, I think. I will travel 350 miles one way to be there.
This celebration was considered commonplace not so long ago. I think that some of the younger generation feels that they just need to do things to pacify us and our outdated customs. My son is “awake” but no so much in the church. My 5 children all went to church until confirmation in 10th grade and then bailed. None attend or have their kids attend.
I realize that organized religion has failed many, but to be raised without anything is a shame. Conscience, morals, humanity are being discarded in exchange for nothingness.
I will be early voting in NC starting the 15th. Hopefully Mr. Robinson can turn the tide here. Tillis gets my emails weekly that he has betrayed NC.
I read on NC Renegade today. Looks promising but you all are wiser than I am.

I’ve been feeling that way for almost 3 1/2 years now. I’m still waiting.
I’ve had that feeling on and off for a good part of my life. It is a gut reaction to the presence of evil. We sense it all around us now.
There will be a very short window of time, we don’t know exactly when, during which Satan will freely roam the earth. He plans to break our ties with the One who created humanity. Many will follow him.
Find that lifeline, the one connected to your higher self, your soul. Those who will triumph over evil must put their full faith and trust in God, and God alone.
He already gave us the roadmap. Follow it. And never give up.
Well and truly said Judith.
You’re definitely not alone, although I have more of an anticipatory feeling of great change.
I have been hearing (of and on) that Phil Collins song “Something in the air tonite” since a couple of months before the 2016 election, and yes, the stridency has changed, and am also hearing “something happening here, what it is ain’t exactly clear!”
Never the less, I am not fearful, but AM anticipating. Calm, relaxed and with a smile on my face, a song on my lips, and a spring in my step.
“What, me worry? This story is already written, and I know how it ends; GOD wins.”
You’d realize our dollars are fake instantly if you consider that when they raise the debt limit, it is instantaneous.
In the real world, they would at least have to wait for the money to actually be minted.
Ya can’t spend what does not exist.
So this is the plan they have for us. Keeping us fuming over the Dr. Demento in the WH , WHILE THEY TIGHTEN THE NOOSE AROUND OUR NECKS AND AND OUR FINANCIAL FREEDOM. THOSE DIRTY ROTTEN CROOKS~!!!
Using the straw dog of sanctions on Russia to box us in. The invaders are another facet of their malevolence. What are we going to do about it?!! Putin knew more about the problem with our currency than most of us
do.
Lay it on us Sundance. Tell us what else we need to know~!
I need to know a lot! When it comes to bitcoin and cbcd whatever I might as well be reading Greek.
I guess we know who’s really being sanctioned…and it ain’t Russia.
The Senate is trying to pass this spending in Ukraine no matter what you and I say about it. Mcmullin is claiming75% goes back to us to replenish our weapons supply. How did we get into this situation in the first place is the real question. What a Crock of BS. I’m pissed off.
In Tucker Carlson’s interview with President Putin the Russian President made two very surprising revelations…
A: During the peace negotiations in April 2022 both France and Germany asked Putin to withdraw the Russian troops from around Kyiv as a show of good faith!
B: Although both Nordstream Pipelines were attacked by Biden and the CIA only one was damaged. The second Nordstream Pipeline is undamaged and functional. It can be turned on at a moments notice!
It doesn’t appear that European leaders are completely committed to the Ukraine war.
Nordstream 2 had two pipelines. One of those was destroyed along with Nordstream 1. That was in the original stories about the destruction.
Europe could get Russian gas from the second pipeline of Nordstream 2, from the pipeline that goes through Poland, from the 2 pipelines that go through Ukraine and from the pipeline that goes through Hungary.
But because of the sanctions, the European elite are making their citizens pay the higher price of LNG from the US and the higher price of petroleum from Russia that has been processed by India.
The Europeans are committed to the Ukraine war and act as puppets controlled by the US. They aren’t committed to the welfare of their citizens.
Grifter meets an Indian Manager of the Fabian Globalists for the UK Grifter
Yes, Britain is pushing the Ukraine war, the rest of Europe, not so much. However, most of Europe is on board with the WEF globalist push away from fossil fuels and extreme immigration policies. Half of congress is on board with the Ukraine war (bought, threatened, allegiance to Britain) and half are not.
He didn’t come out and say Biden / CIA – he implied it by asking who benefitted and also had the capability.
He also said that the other pipeline could be opened if only Germany were to approve it. That fact means that Germany is fully committed.
That’s my take, anyway.
You are right! More than likely because the European government’s are led by the Green Party including the EU therefore killing the pipelines is an additional bonus in the war against Orthodox Christian Russia.
He said anglo saxon. That implies USA and British. The people grinding an historic axe against Russia have British allegiance. Americans have been aided by Russia several times. We were dependent on their rocket engines for the entire shuttle program. Almost every flight to the ISS includes Russians and Americans. Their soyuz capsules have been used to return astronauts of both nations to earth from the beginning of the creation of the station.
Many nations have made money selling gas to Europe, including the US and Israel.
Biden and the CIA did not order the destruction of the Nordstream Pipeline, that other Anglo-Saxon country, Britain, wanted it blown. They flip EVERYTHING, they attack you and claim they were attacked. It is a psychological trick that is very effective. USA assets and personnel were involved in carrying out the destruction of the pipeline, but the USA was not commandeering it. Kenya was British when Obama was born. He’s still running things in the US but for whom, certainly not US citizens.
Only one of the Nordstream 2 pipelines was in use when the pipelines were attacked. Only one of them was blown up. I think the one that is still intact is the one that had not been turned on earlier. This probably means it is functional, but until one runs gas through it end to end, one does not know as a fact that it is operational.
Most of Europe’s heads of state are WEF globalists. They act according to globalist allegiances not in the best interests of their people. The leaders are committed to the WEF objectives not necessarily the EUs objectives or the USs objectives. Britain is the strong man in the WEF probably through the committee of 300, which King Charles heads, since his mother’s death.
I’m reading Bubonic plaque is now here in US
Link?
“Miigrants” are bringing EVERYTHING here.
ProperWolf: They are not “bringing” the bubonic plague. It’s been here since the ealy 1900s, brought over on steamships from Europe.
No doubt millions of illegals have brought in any amount of dreaded diseases, whether it is reported or not.
It’s all part of the plan.
Exactly.
Ut oh!
Cancel the elections! Cancel the elections!! Cancel the elections!!!
Two weeks to flatten the curve 🙂
What they didn’t tell you was that it was 2 weeks on Uranus.
I almost hope they DO “Cancel the elections” but I know they won’t.
There is NO legal mechanism for doing so.
EVERY elected office, from dog catcher to POTUS, has a statutory TERM, after which the elected official is no longer the elected official.
Hence, cancel the elections, and elected officials begin to lose their legitimacy, as their terms expire.
I hear what you’re saying….but me thinks there is no legitimacy left for the “governments”.
ya think, after they tried to kill us all with the jabs that we owe them our compliance on any matter? Sand in the gears. Self-sufficiency will be a requirement in the future not just a nice trait. We need a community to survive.
So lost from history we are. In the 70’s I traveled overseas quite a bit as a youth. Before we left we need vaccinations, recorded on a vaccination certificate. Upon landing back in the US we shwed those certificates. No vaccination required for each country visited and you were sent to quarantine.
It has been here a long time, but a good while ago I read that there are a few cases a year, many of these among Native American populations. There has recently been a case in Oregon and another in California.
Here is more about the distribution of cases in the past.
https://www.cdc.gov/plague/maps/index.html
Katy jay: Bubonic plague is carried by small animals and spread by fleas. A handful of cases occur in the US every year. The cases tend to occur in the desert southwest or northwest.
Similar to the seasonal outbreaks of hanta virus that occur in northern and northwestern China. Also carried by rodents and spread by fleas.
The plague has been around out west for hundreds of years.

LA Now The ‘City Of Rats’? Report Warns Of ‘Alarming Increase’ In Rodent Population – CBS Los Angeles (cbsnews.com)
Wasn’t there an outbreak of typhus around L.A. City Hall a few years ago? The area was saw an increase in the rat population at the time.
The plague was never eliminated from animal hosts in the US. It has appeared on occasion in humans and is cured by antibiotics.
Everything has/is crossing our Southern border in human hosts now.
I wanted to exchange a five dollar bill for a crisp new five dollar bill to put into a child’s Valentine. I did not want to drive out to my bank so I stopped at a closer bank. I was told w/out an account I could do not an even trade. I was dumbfounded and the explanation was by law they have to record every transaction of the owners bank accounts that is why they don’t do business w/non-account people. So odd to me that if I had an account there asking for an even exchange would be recorded. I asked twice for clarity.
I wasn’t asking to cash a check, I just wanted an even exchange. So I drove on to the grocery store where the cashier dug through her piles of five’s and found me a clean nice fiver.
It is all nuts and absolutely believable what SD is telling us.
Kamil Galeev on X does some good work explaining why the sanctions against Russia are deliberately targeted to exempt weapons-manufacturing CNC and similar programs. It’s as if they want the war to continue … for some reason.
So Ukraine is being willfully blackmailed/paid off? Do you think our members of congress know this? Surely the Fed and Treasury and the Pentagon. And what’s Soros and Gates cut? They can’t afford to let Trump win.
Of course congress critters know all of this and more and President Trump knows also; that’s why they are so afraid of him because they have a ‘small idea’ of how he will deal with this fraud and treasonous behavior.
The majority of congress are compromised, backs against the wall, and they will vote the way they are told to vote; or else.
The vast majority in Congress are idiots, who are clueless and happy in their ignorance.
they vote the way the leadership tells them, thru their staffs, to vote.
A relatively small # get ‘starring rolls’ and the rest are’supporting actors’ in the performance pieces, stage managed for c-SPAN.
Performance pieces for Money received and invites to lots and lots of SLIPPERY COCKTAILS. Maybe they are half-sotted most of the time.
Members of Congress are in on it.

Aussie4Trump (#FJB) Cletus Roscoe On the light side for laughs
an hour ago
A driver was stuck in a traffic jam on the highway just outside of Washington, DC.
Nothing was moving.
Suddenly, a man knocks on the driver’s window.
The driver rolls down the window and asks,What’s going on?
Terrorists have kidnapped the entire US Senate, and they’re asking for a 100 million-dollar ransom.
Otherwise, they say they’re going to douse them all in gasoline and set them on fire.
We’re going from car to car, collecting donations.
How much is everyone giving, on the average? asks the driver.
The man replies, About a gallon.
I’ve heard that one before, only it was in reference to Hillary Clinton. (It’s still funny.)
I think the USG could switch to a CBDC without the Ukraine war. The Dems just have to keep stealing elections and importing illegals while the Republicans (save for a few) look the other direction.
Ukraine is for kick backs. The people getting the most money are the Democrats that went to Ukraine and the Republicans that went to Ukraine. Sundance spelled out the differences between the media coverage of the Ukraine “war” and the Oct 7 attack on Israel.
I noticed that Putin mentioned that Carlson had applied for employment with the CIA. It makes one wonder………………
Putin was VERY well briefed, for that interview,…and good staff work!
That was apparently when Tucker Carlson was quite young and fresh out of college, if I remember correctly. He is NOT the same Tucker Carlson that he was at that time.
Tucker’s dad was CIA. Tucker is probably CIA and controlled opposition. Some truth, not all the truth. Skirt some areas, dive deep into others.
Glad you’re back up and running, Sundance. Be careful and safe. Thank you for all that you and your team do.
The bad news is that with all electric planes and boats we won’t be able to escape the U.S.
No sailboats where you live?
Good point.
God Bless you Sundance.
Thank You.
The CIA is trying to take out Putin in a color revolution which they have doing for years around the World…This is not about Ukraine that is a distraction……Its really about the $ being the reserve currency.. BRICs shredding the US $$$$….
I would disagree, in part.
The Federal government of the United States had been shredding the value of the USD for a long, long time. A long Con, one could say in partnership with multinationals.
BRICS is a relative newcomer to challenge the primacy of the USD as a reserve currency. Creating alternatives however is not going to go unanswered by the conmen.
“,…relative newcomer,..” BRICS was created back when South Africa had a decent economy, (The “S” in BRICS is for South Africa).
2009/2010 is when it was formed, as a counterbalance to the World bank/IMF.
So, 4 years before the Euromaiden coup, even.
Been lots of color revolutions, assassinations, and conflicts instigated over the years whenever someone had the idea the challenge the status quo.
Even Qaddafi had the idea once of creating a new gold backed trading currency for Africa. Narrowly missed a missile strike one time or other during Clinton’s terms.
“status quo” is king dollar as reserve currency. All the excursions were about maintaining it as the reserve. But the IMF/world bank crippled many, many national economies over decades. BRICS was initially a reaction to their abuse. Then, the US took advantage with sanctions and inflating its debt away since 2008 at an unacceptable rate to other nations. Abuse of sanctions resulted in BRICS creating an alternative to SWIFT. Over time, since 2008, other nations have bought less and less of our national debt. When, we not only sanctioned Russia, but stole their central bank’s reserves, then, BRICS, which had expanded, became serious about creating an alternative to US$. That is the US centric view.
Sundance has introduced another view of BRICS and the actions of the rest of the world as a mechanism to transition the world away from US$ reserve because the US would eventually have to make good on all its money printing. Reserve currencies typically become worthless about the 50 year mark (2021/2022 since severed from gold). The wisdom behind the Jubilee in the Old Testament. ALL countries know this, their people may not, but the heads of state and those running central banks and alternative banking systems know this history. They are isolating themselves from the US financially as much as possible, so, when we crash and burn, we do not take them down with us.
Note, the thieves we have in power (even under Trump) are not going to jubilee anyone. They are not that Hebrew. They are thieves of the highest order. They ordered the jabs to kill us so they would have less of a payout in pensions, SS, when the crash arrived. Ultimately, that just bought them time. Just like the repo window for regional banks that Yellen opened after Silicon Valley Bank failed, it just buys time. That window closes next month. That IS going to matter. Powell does not want to cut because he wants to save the currency. He is in a bind.
Back to the demolition team in the Senate focused on saving Ukraine and destroying the US border and financial well being. They are spending it faster than Yellen or Powell can make moves to keep the dollar above water. Note: Yellen and her predecessors already failed, foreign countries are buying very little of our debt (US Treasuries) already. So, the Fed is buying most of it.
Some in the Senate know what is going on. Some are focused on getting as much in kickbacks as they can before the collapse. Some are threatened. Some are bribed. Some don’t know what’s going on and some do and are standing up to it. The House is also a mixed bag on this but they aren’t privy to the same kickbacks as those in the Senate. They also have to answer to their constituents more often. They have much more pressure from them than the Senate does because they can’t afford to ignore them and still be elected, whereas Senators can because its a numbers game. Some of these leaders think we have much longer before the end of pushing the can down the road (decade), others think it is sooner (5 years or less).
Finally, losing reserve currency status of the dollar is a process, think directing an ocean liner not a steam boat. Primary bank dealers like Jamie Dimon are saying the US$ has another decade, Bannon says 5 years.
My humble prediction – Cryptocurrency will be reduced to vaporware by quantum computing. Nearterm the whales will continue to pump it up – then dump it overnight and profit on the collapse.
Yes, because the quantum computing will allow cracking the encryption and render it useless. This has happened with many different encryption algorithms over the decades, computing advances in the hands of the public render them ineffective.
The whales know this.
If the dollar dies, the crypto will only be useful to move funds quickly out of the US. It will be a very short time window – a day or less. Afterwards, trade will occur in cash for a brief window – days, week. Then, trade will occur in barter, coin, gold, silver. The globalist goal is to have CBDCs in place before this occurs and offer them as a solution. But the price of the solution will be one’s freedom. Unlike your current digital accounts, these will be control mechanisms. Instead of a FICA, financial score putting limits on your credit, there will be a social score tied to your account. Also, the digits will have expiration dates precluding the ability to save for a rainy day.
Note: Constitutionally, the central bank can not issue CBDCs, so Primary Dealer Banks, Chase, BofA will issue them. It looks like it will be mostly in the US.
Ukraine=Israel=digital dollar=????
Sundance writes: “Putin knows everything below in this article about Russian Sanctions and the formation around a dollar-based U.S. CBDC. Unfortunately, Tucker Carlson does not know the specifics of how it is being constructed.”
At this point in time, I have to believe Tucker is getting the “specifics of how it is be constructed”.
I’m sure President Trump has known for quite some time, along with others working with him and I believe other world leaders are also on top of the situation.
Sometimes it is not so much what is said that is important but what is NOT said.
I have not heard or read any mention of Tucker Carlson or Putin from President Trump in his recent speeches.
And Vivek and his wife were with President Trump and Melania last night in Mar-a-Lago. In fact, President Trump asked Vivek to speak to the crowd.
I suspect President Trump is constructing a strategic move, (no, I’m not referring 5-D Chess and all that jazz). But he does have a way of making news and waiting for the reaction.
Time will tell.
Some are claiming he will be the VP! I saw the video and it was strange how they all walked in, Trump and Melania in front, and Vivek and his wife behind. Then he had Vivek to say a few words.
Well, President Trump will make his VP choice, no doubt, as he should.
I have no idea who it will be.
I do expect though, President Trump will help that gossip-line move right along, while he’s doing important work in the background.
Vivek may appeal to a segment of voters that Trump is weak in. This looks like a test to me.
Wonder if my old UK-model HTC phone would work in all that. Not that I want to try.
the us gov is getting weaker by the day as the debt piles up and gross incompetence is shown at all levels of the ruling junta.
the recent bls jobs report was a disaster. full time jobs plummeted, part time jobs rose bigly, hundreds of thousands of people were classified as long term unemployed meaning they no longer are counted in the stats, the birth / death business model was a farce etc. etc. the b / d model is a fictitious, make believe number the bls pulls out of its ass each month to make the economy look good. it’s a joke. even the talking heads on the financial networks were wondering where all the jobs were coming from.
if there is a failed bond auction, or if a decent sized bank collapses creating a run on the currency certain states, large banks etc. may call bs on the whole project.
suddenly. all at once.
Also, none of those jobs has gone to US born citizens since 2018.
Pension fund collapse, commercial real estate collapse, there are too many disastersto list.
Thank you Sundance, i shared where i could, appreciate you and prayers for safety in your travels

Thank you for the clarity.
President Putin offered to join NATO and build a mutual Missile Sheild but was rejected by the West. They would not give up their Military-Industrial Kickbacks or Mad Dreams of Empire. That shield would have put Western Civilization on the inside and Iran and China on the outside, but again, our Garbage Elite Traitor Class had already sold out to China and Iran.
There is another reason. The Deep State had even then already decided to overthrow the Russian Government, install yet another Puppet Government and loot Russia’s vast resources. That’s why they spent the last 25 years pushing NATO right up to Russia’s doorstep.
Every time Real President Trump was to meet with President Putin, the American Police State would sabotage the meeting with another #Fake Russian Indictment, essentially running American Foreign Policy out of the Special Persecutor’s Office. You know–“the Way the Framers Intended(tm).”
Putin shakes his head because he’s never dealt with madmen who hate their own countries and wish to see them wrecked.
Rest in the Vine: Putin Has a Firm Grasp on 12 Hundred Years of Russian History.
Biden Has a Firm Grasp on a 12 Year-Old
“They’re quite mad, you know.”
“Tell me about it!”
Trump leaning down to hear what Putin has to say shows tremendous respect for Putin and the country he represents.
And that have been voted for by millions of their citizens. And that millions of their citizens would STILL vote for!
Now the U.S. Senate has decided to take over the running of U.S. foreign policy from the President vis a vis their latest $95 billion proposed monstrosity… “The Way The Framers Intended ™”.
What will happen first, an Implosion by Nuclear or Political?
Implosion bombs, can work by compressing a sphere of plutonium-239 with high explosives or by compressing a countries’ population as the result of unlawful actions by its government.
DISGUSTING: US Senate Advances $95 Billion Aid Package to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan in Rare Super Bowl Sunday Vote — Here are the 18 Republicans Who Voted with Democrats
by Jim Hᴏft Feb. 11, 2024
In an unusual session held on Super Bowl Sunday, the US Senate voted to move forward a substantial $95 billion aid package that will support Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, with no southern border security provisions. The vote garnered support from RINOs, with a final tally of 67-27.
The vote came in response to Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.)’s steadfast refusal to expedite voting on the bill, which he vehemently criticized as “rotten” and detrimental to national interests.
Senator Paul, expressing his staunch opposition, declared he would not allow the bill to pass immediately, emphasizing his concerns over prioritizing foreign aid over domestic issues.
This bill sends the message to Americans that their elected officials don’t care about them. I’ve never met any Kentuckian who says, “fix the border of Ukraine before you fix our border.”
— Rand Paul (@RandPaul) February 8, 2024
According to the Hill, Schumer offered Republicans the chance to vote on amendments in exchange for expediting the legislative process.
“By a vote of 67-27, The Senate invoked cloture on Murray substitute amendment 1388 to H.R.815, legislative vehicle for supplemental appropriations,” the Senate Press Gallery wrote on X.
Sixty-seven senators voted in favor of war funding, while 27 senators opposed the expenditure, all of whom were Republicans.
On Super Bowl Sunday, the following 18 Republican senators supported the Ukraine war funding:
Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV)
Bill Cassidy (R-LA)
Susan Collins (R-ME)
John Cornyn (R-TX)
Joni Ernst (R-IA)
Chuck Grassley (R-IA)
John Kennedy (R-LA)
Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
Jerry Moran (R-KS)
Markwayne Mullin (R-OK)
Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
Mitt Romney (R-UT)
Mike Rounds (R-SD)
Dan Sullivan (R-AK)
John Thune (R-SD)
Thom Tillis (R-NC)
Roger Wicker (R-MS)
Todd Young (R-IN)
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) acknowledged the unusual scheduling.
“I can’t remember the last time the Senate was in session on Super Bowl Sunday, but as I’ve said all week long, we’re going to keep working on this bill until the job is done,” Schumer said.
This comes after the Republican Senators on Wednesday voted against advancing a compromised ‘border security bill’ that would have allocated more money to foreign countries while largely ignoring the US border.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said he will move forward with a backup plan.
On Thursday, Schumer fulfilled his promise, and the Democratic-led Senate advanced a streamlined bill aimed at providing aid to Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan, but not the southern border that is currently invaded by illegal immigrants.
In a 67-32 cloture vote, the Senate crossed party lines, with several RINO senators joining Democrats to move the foreign aid bill forward.
Following the Sunday’s vote, Mitch McConnell released the following statement:
“From the earliest days of Vladimir Putin’s escalation in Ukraine, America’s closest allies and partners have been paying close attention.
“From halfway around the world in the Indo-Pacific, our friends have made it clear that in the Ukrainian people’s fight, they see their own future.
“From Taiwan, ‘Ukraine’s survival is Taiwan’s survival.’
“From Japan, ‘security in Europe and security in the Indo-Pacific are inseparable.’
“From Australia, ‘It is absolutely in the interest of every free country that Putin’s aggression fails.’
“But why? Why would peaceful people dare to get involved in others’ fights?
“Why would leaders in Asia contribute billions of dollars and weapons to help Ukraine defeat Russian aggression?
“Why would the Prime Minister of Japan and the President of South Korea bother with long journeys to wartime Kyiv to express solidarity with Ukraine?
“Why not just pull up the drawbridge and keep quiet?
“Because our allies and partners are not naïve.
“Because they know that unchecked aggression begets more.
“Because they know that victory for Russia means a green light for China.
“Because they know that neglecting Ukraine’s fight to restore its sovereignty raises the costs of defending their own.
“Our partners don’t have the luxury of pretending that the world’s most dangerous aggressors are someone else’s problem.
“And neither do we.
“So today, it is no exaggeration to say that the eyes of the world are on the United States Senate.
“Our allies and partners are hoping that the indispensable nation – the leader of the free world – has the resolve to continue. And our adversaries are hoping for something quite different.
“Friends and foes, alike, pay close attention to what we say here. And how we vote.
“Because American leadership matters. And it is in question.
“But let’s be absolutely clear:
“The United States didn’t give our Greatest Generation to the fight against Nazi Germany or commit half a century of focus and resources to defeating Soviet communism just out of a sense of altruism. And we aren’t helping partners resist authoritarian aggression today out of some warm and fuzzy sense of charity.
“We haven’t equipped the brave people of Ukraine, Israel, or Taiwan with lethal capabilities in order to win philanthropic accolades.
“We’re not urgently strengthening defenses in the Indo-Pacific because it feels good.
“We don’t wield American strength frivolously. We do it because it is in our own interest.
“We equip our friends to face our shared adversaries so we’re less likely to have to spend American lives to defeat them.
“For years, I’ve warned about the growing threats to America’s national security, and the growing coordination among our adversaries.
“And for years, I’ve worked to steer greater investments toward the hard power needed to deter them.
“The Russian despot trying to conquer Ukraine also wants to see America weakened.
“The Chinese autocrat hoping to subjugate Taiwan also wants to consign American leadership to history.
“The Iranian regime that equips the slaughter of Israeli Jews and a terrorist war on international commerce also wants to shatter our influence in the region and spill American blood in the process.
“They tell us this by their actions.
“Pretending not to hear them is not an option.
“Delaying until the costs in American lives and treasure rise immeasurably is not an option.
“The time to stand up to these gathering threats is right now.
“Every night, millions of Americans sleep in peace because brave men and women continue to answer the call to serve in our nation’s armed forces.
“Every day, millions of Americans turn for their livelihood to an economic order built and underwritten by American leadership.
“And every time that peace and prosperity are threatened, we stand with allies and partners who trust in the righteousness of that leadership and the credibility of our commitments.
“Today, the future of the world I’ve just described is in question.
“The endurance of an order in which American support is craved and American strength is feared is in doubt.
“And we, the United States of America, have the most to lose.
“Ever since we came to the aid of our allies 80 years ago, America has been an inseparable partner in the security of Europe.
“Not out of charity, but because our own security and prosperity is tied to it.
“Ever since we were attacked in 1941, America has helped guarantee stability and free commerce in the Indo-Pacific.
“Not as a moral gesture, but because we have core interests of our own in this critical part of the world.
“Ever since the establishment of the modern Jewish state of Israel in 1948, America has stood by her.
“Not out of generosity, but because of the enduring values and interests we share – in security, in democracy, and in peace.
“I know it’s become quite fashionable in some circles to disregard the global interests we have as a global power. To bemoan the responsibilities of global leadership. To lament the commitment that has underpinned the longest drought of great power conflict in human history.
“This is idle work for idle minds.
“And it has no place in the United States Senate.
“In this chamber, we must face the world as it is.
“We must reject the dimmest and most shortsighted views of our obligations, and grapple instead with actual problems.
“As they come. In the harsh light of day.
“And today, the questions facing this body are quite simple.
“Will we give those who wish us harm more reason to question our resolve? Or will we recommit to exercising American strength?
“Will we give those who crave our leadership more reason to wonder if it’s in decline? Or will we invest in the credibility that underpins our entire way of life?
“I cannot answer these questions for any one of my colleagues. But none of us can afford to get them wrong.”

Uniparty dingle berries think doing this on Super Bowel Sunday is somehow stealth?

facefleece the world as it is.Mitch the *&^%$ just sold his vote and his voting block to Schumer……..what pray tell did he get?
Either Sen. Rand Paul has never met the other Senator from Kentucky (McConnell) or he is lieing, because McConnell obviously DOES prioritise Ukraines Border over the U.S. Border.
a round table discussion on the us dollar is upcoming live on zero hedge Tuesday. one of the gurus is jim rickards. i’ve read all his books.
