I would approach this Polish media report with a note of caution and skepticism. The reason is not what most might think about. The CIA/GCHQ will likely be conducting covert IC propaganda operations to disrupt Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin from reaching any agreement. {NOTED HERE} Therefore, for the next several weeks we should watch the sourcing of the media reports to identify familiar patterns.
A Polish media outlet is reporting to have gained insight into the deal carried by President Trump special envoy, Steve Witkoff. As outlined, both President Trump and President Putin would be working from this framework.
POLAND – Although Onet does not name its sources, it says that the proposal was coordinated with European states. “We have learned that Moscow received a very favorable offer from the Trump administration,” the outlet reported.
According to Onet, the US proposal includes:
・A ceasefire in Ukraine, though not a full peace agreement.
・De facto recognition of Russian-occupied territories by postponing the status issue for 49 or 99 years.
・The lifting of most sanctions imposed on Russia and, in the long term, a return to energy cooperation – namely, imports of Russian gas and oil.
Meanwhile, the proposal reportedly does not include guarantees against NATO expansion – one of Moscow’s consistent demands.
Russia did not receive any promises that military support for Ukraine would cease. However, according to the outlet, this last point is said to be acceptable to the Russians. (read more)
Broadly, this type of an outline makes sense; particularly the three main points and the removal of the sanctions. President Trump has noted repeatedly it was short-sighted for the Western financial system to think they could hurt Russia directly with the 2021 economic sanctions, given the pre-existing sanctions already in place since 2014.
All of my research sources in eastern Europe and Russia generally agree the 2021 sanctions regime was about Western global banking interests (CBDC), together with Blackrock, State Street and Vanguard investments.
Common Question: “What is the fundamental reason that the IC wants to prevent the US from aligning with Russia? Is it simply to keep the conflict (and money) going in Ukraine?”
My response is, No. Several facets involved:
1. Russia does not align with current global banking control. This is the background motive behind the current western sanctions’ regime. Russia does not consider the global finance system to be legitimate. From Putin’s long-held perspective the dollar is too easily weaponized for geopolitical leverage. Ironic considering that’s exactly what the sanctions are. As a consequence, the Western global banks dislike Russia immensely.
2. Ideologically, Russia is not ‘woke’ in every sense of that weird word. Even the concept of DEI is crazy from the perspective of society in Russia. The Russian economy and socioeconomic system do not recognize modern western values, ie. “wokeism”.
Explaining non-merit-based DEI is one of the most unusual conversations you can have with Russian people. They cannot fathom the concept of employment, subsidy or financial benefit from gender, skin color, ethnicity or race. It doesn’t compute to them because they have no concept of the motive or intent behind DEI. Russia is the least politically correct country you could ever visit.
3. Russia is an unusual caste system that rewards those closest to govt with enhanced status. However, on the caste continuum, Vladimir Putin is more Trumpian toward this internal political dynamic. Putin recognizes that all ships must rise, not just the connected.
Think of Russia like visiting Disney. Those who can afford the ‘fast-track’ pass have a better experience than the ordinary ticket holder. Putin recognizes that in the modern era this system creates national vulnerability and political instability that can be exploited by narratives from the West. An entire division of USAID was created for this task. Putin’s goal is changing this dynamic.
4. MAGA understand that Trump needs to be authoritarian in order to cleanse the govt corruption. However, our constitutional system -which was weaponized by the radical leftists- does not allow this approach. In many ways, this type of authoritarian approach is what Putin uses to ensure the same manipulation does not happen to Russia. This puts him in opposition to the global intelligence apparatus who use social friction to stir up internal trouble.
5. Finally, Vladimir Putin has often said the enemy of Russia is not Americans; the identified enemy of Russia is the CIA and UK intelligence (GCHQ). There is a big difference, and the IC feel the same toward him. Hence their activity against him on behalf of their benefactors, the London banking interests.
♦ President Trump is appreciated in Russia because: (A) he is also not politically correct and speaks his mind. (B) Trump has no friends in the IC who view Trump in the same oppositional context as Putin. (C) Trump is honest, and Russians are brutally honest people. (D) Trump is strong but respectful toward all voices.

How quickly they have forgotten the lessons of Communism….
They invented politically correct…though based on different criteria…
As for Communism and all it’s filthy cousins….
NO MERCY!
Nyet.
Those that imposed Communism on Russia created political correctness to impose it here.
Never forget the lessons of the treacherous Bolsheviks, nor the Laowai.
….and who were the Bolsheviks….
The Bolsheviks were far left radicals led by Lenin in the labor movement. Same type of people causing trouble today all over the world.
include those in the CONgre$$….
Of course, these cursed radical extreme left Bolsheviks. But who financed this movement for the 1917 revolution?
History, facts, the truth may surprise you.

In my own mind, the achilles heel in all of this remains a divided America. PDJT is working over time to bring closure to this war. So long as Russias, China et al see a divided America they can play their cards against the hand PDJT has been dealt. Viet Nam revisited.
Hang in there Mr Prez! Press ahead on cleaning up our backyard as the number one priority.

Russia has always be authoritarian, if not in one form then another. It seems to be the one constant.
..But….but…russian people love authoritarian VLADIMIR VLADIMIROVICH PUTIN and they vote for him since 2000 with 65-81 % vote ..USA presidents can only dream……
In the 1990s, Hillard Clinton had the reeling post-Soviet Russia teed up to become what Ukraine would later become. Putin ruined those plans; enmity ever since.
Do remember that it was a great Russian sage* who opined, “It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.”

The tush-whipping the Cossacks administered upon the topless “Pussy Riot” protestors was epic.
Poland is not a friend in this.
I don’t think, given some contacts I have in Poland, that the population is unified on this belligerency toward Russia.
Yep, the voices you hear in English language belong to the pro-NATO Polish regime.
New NATO isn’t so different than the Eastern Bloc. In fact much of the old Communist apparatus is still involved.
Speaking of dubious media reports, somewhere between 24 and 36ish hours ago there was a strong media push on Twatter and yt to the effect that the Ukraine had b0mbed numerous military bases in Russia.
Completely false.
Apparently, given this Polish report, the desperation continues.
Incidentally, yesterday afternoon Peter Duke published a video based on his Substack essay entitled, ” A User’s Guide to Neuro-Linguistic Defense”.
Peter explains how language is used to trick or brainwash people into believing false narratives and how being able to recognize these tactics develop and refine critical thinking skills.

Peter speaks slow enough and annunciates well enough to listen to this video on a faster speed; he also uses limited incidental graphics so it’s easy to listen instead of watch.

Between Peter Duke and Madeline (Leaving Babylon) there is much to learn regarding atomic fables as well as other-flavored fables, some on a Biblical scale.

Maquis, the post I made up there with all the map links went straight to the bin, so I’m not sure if the Admin Lady will find it and get it posted for you.
It’s a list of some of the old, old maps that I study.

That was good, thanks for the suggestion. I will watch it again on a slower speed. I have subscribed.
Yesterday I was wondering where the response “of course!” came from? I will say thank you to someone and their answer is “of course”. It is starting to get on my nerves. Whatever happened to “you are welcome”? Has anyone else noticed it as a cultural response that has caught on?
I for one have definitely noticed.
Up here in the pacific northwest there’s an equally maddening response to saying thank you: “No problem.”
No problem??
Color me old school, but I much prefer a “you’re welcome” or a “my pleasure” response, thank you.
Another one . . . “no worries.” Where did they stash “you’re welcome”?
I have held contempt for the CIA since about as fay back as I can remember. It has got to be for more than 20 years, easy. And I know the obvious, that this going off the reservation, but I don’t think the CIA is the source of all evil on the planet, that everything bad that happens is the all powerful CIA’s doing. If Trump can not reach a peace agreement with Putin, I think it is much more likely that it will be be Putin’s doing and not the CIA’s.
I think the line “The CIA/GCHQ will likely be conducting covert IC propaganda operations to disrupt Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin from reaching any agreement.”
That is rubbish; Dir John Ratcliffe, who McConnell didn’t wany to get the job, who’s a card carrying MAGA republican, got confirmed in Jan, has turned against Trump for the sole benefit of who, the IC and the MIC.
‘This is a rabbit hole designed to be used to trick or brainwash people into believing false narratives.’
If Russia allows Ukraine to remain as is and allows western military inside Ukraine, then it has lost the war, even though it is winning on the ground. It will be only a matter of time. It took the CIA/Deep State 15 years to break Syria up and hand it to ISIS. I don’t believe that the Russian government can concede on demilitarization and denazification. If they do, then they really are a service station with nukes and there will be regime change.
According to Onet, the US proposal includes:
・A ceasefire in Ukraine, though not a full peace agreement.
・De facto recognition of Russian-occupied territories by postponing the status issue for 49 or 99 years. [Hong Kong-ish]
・The lifting of most sanctions imposed on Russia and, in the long term, a return to energy cooperation – namely, imports of Russian gas and oil. [no one pays for the Nord Steam pipelines?]
Meanwhile, the proposal reportedly does not include guarantees against NATO expansion – one of Moscow’s consistent demands. [Bizarre]
I can assure you that the proposal outlined in this article is a non starter for Russia. It fails the core mission of the SMO. This is more Kellog fantasy.

Trump EXPOSES The FALSE Narrative About His Meeting With Putin,
Great analysis.
Putin is a KGB thug and keeps his oligarchs in line and his share of the stolen booty from the collapse of the USSR protected via well known means, but at least he’s a nationalist for some of the same reasons I have outlined why our oligarchy was nationalist after WWII, then switched to globalist.
Mike Benz points out that one of the reasons our oligarchical system hates him so much is that he put an end to THEIR plundering of the national assets and resources of Russia after that collapse.
MAGA understand that Trump needs to be authoritarian in order to cleanse the govt corruption. However, our constitutional system -which was weaponized by the radical leftists- does not allow this approach.
Ay, THERE’S the rub and here’s the only true, sustainable fix:
Only a Collapse and Total Reboot Can Fix Our Bloated Government System
NOVEMBER 14, 2016
https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/tony-corvo/2016/11/14/only-a-collapse-and-total-reboot-can-fix-our-bloated-government-system-n48938
Excerpt:
Conservatives keep voting for candidates thinking that they will fix the bugs, but let’s look at what this approach would take. In one form or another we will have to:
1) Elect at least a generation of conservative supermajorities in both chambers of congress. They have to be supermajorities because parliamentary rules allow for political minority actions to stop simple majority legislation.
2) We will have to elect a string of conservative presidents to work with the conservative congresses. We can’t have activist presidents who govern by executive actions in order to bypass congress. [because the system is so corrupted and so many voters are useful idiots, transitory EOs are the only way Trump can get anything significant done – W]
3) True constitutionalists must be nominated and approved to the Supreme Court.
4) Conservatives will have to control at least 37 state legislatures, because sooner or later we will need to make constitutional amendments.
Putin was an attorney in the KGB’s legal Division. He was never a thug like the FBI Agents who raided Mar-a-Lago or arrested Roger Stone at 6am with his blind wife handcuffed on the front lawn in her nightgown!
Right on Yosemite Sam….some ppl even here would prefer BHO/HRC/FJB over VVP…..
President Putin has an 80% approval rating in Russia. As I understand it, he restored Russia as a superpower and has done a lot of good for the country. Hard to think a “thug” would do any of these things.
i agree only a total collapse can fix what ails us… but we have to understand that at that moment of decision, we are just as likely to choose idiocracy or bolshevism as we are something that might restore the republic.
i realize its not popular to say so, but i do not see a path back to a free republic that does not involve slitting a lot of throats. and i do not mean that metaphorically. there is just too much power concentrated in too few, evil hands, for it to be released without a REAL fight that involves a lot of people going very, VERY rogue.
we have let it get WAY too far.
You are spot on were toast. OUR Republic can only stand if a good and morale people persist. 1961 CONgress voted our Morale Compass out of schools swiftly moved on the kids with Rock and roll then Disco now Rap or hip hop all glamorizing Violence sex drugs all the dirty rotten things we humans can follow. Jesus return is very close when the rapture occures a large part of the USA disappears.
“4. MAGA understand that Trump needs to be authoritarian in order to cleanse the govt corruption. However, our constitutional system -which was weaponized by the radical leftists- does not allow this approach. In many ways, this type of authoritarian approach is what Putin uses to ensure the same manipulation does not happen to Russia. ”
Putin is clearly an authoritarian, and that is putting it very mildly. President Trump is not an authoritarian and never will be, contrary to what the left keeps telling us. Putin may think he is a Tsar, but President Trump does not think he is a King George III.
you are applying a lot of emotion to the assertion SD has made. trump gooood, putin baaaad. it is not nearly that simple, and we all know it. i think even you old schoolers who still wallow in the cold war avalanche of propaganda diarrhea must surely see this at some visceral level.
You sure are making a whole lot of assumptions / charges there.
This is certainly a CIA-planted story, designed to undermine negotiations by creating false expectations. Russia believes the Ukraine military is about three months from collapse. There is no way that Putin is going to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by agreeing that Ukraine may join NATO, or that foreign troops may be based in Ukraine. That is what the war was all about, and Putin is not, under any circumstances, going to agree to that.
People want to use WW2 historical analogues. The US Civil War might be more instructive.
Since the Russia-Ukraine War is basically a civil war.
In that regard the Ukrainians are the Confederates circa 1864, they still have armies in the field but the war has clearly been lost.
I hope all this emphasis on “global banking interests” is not misunderstood, and that TCT is not at risk of coming under the same kind of government scrutiny as Columbia and Harvard.
We could use some more legal Russian immigrants here. Everyone I know is a keeper.
Why would they want to leave the paradise that is Russia ???
Economic opportunity is much better here. Russia is more Old World Europe.
My next door neighbor is Russian. His name is Vladimir and his drop-dead gorgeous wife is Olga. I will take 200 Russian neighbors for every Hispanic. Sorry to say that but it’s true. The Russian family doesn’t have vicious barking dogs, trash in the front yard or laundry hanging over their balcony and fence! They are fairly new to America but behave just like Americans.
…. and I bet no noisy party every Saturday either…..
Alex Christoforou did his podcast walking around Moscow a few weeks ago. The city is beautiful and the streets are very clean.
God bless you Sundance for explaining all of this to us and we in turn can pass it on to others.
Totally agreed! Thank you, SD!
I know someone who just took his wife and 3 kids to Disneyland and he had the money to buy the fast track pass. He glowed how they didn’t have to wait in line for rides and what a great time they had. My immediate thought was how angry the people in line would be who couldn’t afford it. They wait longer while the uppity ups have a ball. Not a good thing in a society already at odds with itself.
You pay through the nose just to get in and shouldn’t be extorted for more $$$!
True, just another thing Disney is ruining.
Fast pass used to be free. It was essentially scheduling your ride for later in the day and you were given access to a shorter line…or in some cases no line. Apparently they did away with it and replaced it with something else that cost $15-$39 per person. Just another way for them to take your money.
“4. MAGA understand that Trump needs to be authoritarian in order to cleanse the govt corruption. However, our constitutional system -which was weaponized by the radical leftists- does not allow this approach.”
Understand …yes…..and the swamp must be drained BUT all these Presidential Executive Orders set precedents that need to be fought against IF (major IF) the swamp is ever drained. There is a great deal of trust involved in supporting operations as they currently are being accomplished. The next administration might abuse the privileges given President Trump at this time just like the potato head’s crew did.
For full citizen confidence to be returned to America the vote MUST be true and corruption at all levels of government stamped out.
Its a dilemma for students of our founding and persons who truly understand the Constitution and federalism……the current status quo must end but the poison medicine may kill more than the worms.
CIA destroyed the company in Ukraine.
Putin’s regime uses anti-Americanism as a strategic tool to distract from internal problems and consolidate power. State-controlled media consistently promote the idea that the West, led by the U.S., is engaged in a cultural and political war against Russia, thereby legitimizing repression and militarization. This propaganda has been effective: public opinion in Russia, once more favorable toward the U.S. in the 1990s, has flipped under Putin’s rule, with a majority now viewing America as an enemy.
BS… it was srub jr/bho/fjb regime who make themselves unpopular in the RUSSIA….. also VSGPDJT.. should not say something totally unrealistic…he will end war in 24 hours..ms linda/kellog/cotton get sooo p*ss off they went hug Z with bags of $$$$…
BREAKING: President Donald J. Trump to meet with President Vladimir Putin of Russia next week.
The Great State of Alaska, once part of Russia, but never again.
U.S. President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post on Friday afternoon that he will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Aug. 15.
The meeting has been set up just as a White House deadline for the Kremlin to agree a ceasefire for its invasion of Ukraine would have expired on Friday.
Russia’s sanctions-sapped economy heavily depends on its crude sales, with growth expected near 1.4% this year, from 4.3% in 2024, according to the World Bank’s June forecasts
“Meanwhile, the proposal reportedly does not include guarantees against NATO expansion – one of Moscow’s consistent demands.”
I find this hard to believe. Keeping Ukraine neutral and out of NATO has been atop Putin’s list forever, and one of his chief complaints is that the US and the European countries agreed to this years ago, but now seem to be going back on that agreement.
Okay not a single soul had money on Alaska
Our President is a builder. I’ll bet he could bring in a railroad for a lot less than was wasted in CA. Boring can dig the tunnel.
“All of my research sources in eastern Europe and Russia generally agree the 2021 sanctions regime was about Western global banking interests (CBDC), together with Blackrock, State Street and Vanguard investments.”
Question:
Does the Fidelity Investments house have any part of the shenanigans of the above named financial houses?
Yikes… Finally #5 says it all in the bulletin point that follows Sundance’s closing remarks.
Yikes in that it finally spells out the light at an end of tunnel end game of this warped DEI tranquility (sarcasm) where most brutal honest Russian’s are going,
“WTF is up with America turning into a comical and perverted version of a dusted off old marx-leninism book version of Statism over the individual.”
And serious Russian’s are asking and questioning what if, ” American Marxist’s succeed.”
‘4. MAGA understand that Trump needs to be authoritarian in order to cleanse the govt corruption.’
This is the key to understanding the view held by some, that Trump is a player in a longer term Plan to sink the US toward authoritarianism leading to a diminished totalitarian state dovetailing with the coming “multi-polar global governance”.
A pendulum play, using the lefty swings of Obozo and biden to set up for the backlash with Trump “cleansing corrupt government and its effects”.
Where, behind the theater, the authoritarian framework is being constructed.
And the other mechanisms designed to sink the US are proceeding apace, including sovereign debt (<BBB) and bio-attrition (modRNA, coming Replicons).
The 5+ points in your “Several facets involved” are excellent. Thank you, Sundance.
“Wokeism”, DEI, and LGBTq are cults, specifically against the Bible, hence evil. They should be condemned. It is the ‘CULTural revolution’ in Western format. The Western leftist elites are fans of Communism; they worship the Beast.
Finally we the American people are sending in our best! It’s been a long long time since we’ve been able to say that. I hope they both really enjoy their meeting together, share some laughs and come out with a more open dialog and big beautiful trade deals beneficial to both nations. With luck they can work our some primo accomoditions for our America hating foaming at the mouth democrats, in Siberia.
MAGA Fabulous!!
🇺🇸🇺🇸👊👊❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
