EU Proposes Suspending Customs and Duty Enforcement During War Preparations Against Russia

When Europe goes to war with Russia, they will not require the military to fill out customs declarations as they cross borders within the EU.

Tanks, missiles, artillery and most combat weapons could be exempt from EU customs declarations if the plan by Brussels moves forward.

Additionally, under the proposal most drivers of military equipment may even be permitted to exceed the limits on driving times and rest periods, should the fight against Russia require extended physical effort.

The newly proposed objective is to empower European soldiers to make independent decisions without having to fill out the customary paperwork, requiring prior approval from the European Commission before affixing their bayonets. The EU wants to work out the details before they begin military operations against the Russian Federation.

EUROPE – […] The communication notes that some countries require 45 days of advance notice before allowing military equipment to cross their territory. “Significant barriers to effective military mobility in the EU persist,” the communication notes. “National rules are often divergent, fragmented and non-harmonised.”

[…] “We need to move fast. We need to move faster than what Europe is used to or is expecting to,” Tzitzikostas said, saying the target is to get the basics in place by 2030.

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius warned over the weekend that Russia may be capable of launching an attack on a NATO member state as early as 2028-2029.

People Using AI for Information

During the great cleaving that took place at the end of 2020 and the beginning of 2021, most people identified the root cause as either (a) COVID or (b) the election fraud.  While both issues were tools of the Big Tech action, they were not the underlying root motive.

The purposeful cleaving of accounts, websites, voices and ultimately information providers, was intended to scatter source information into the wind, leaving only approved information sources allied with Tech/Govt intentions.

Subsequently, when AI was launched on the various platforms being used by the larger public, the inputs which frame the AI results are controlled by the same people who built the AI systems.  When you engage with AI, you are engaging with a system that only has “approved information” behind it to deliver the outputs.

This is what the process looks like.

Remember this the next time you intentionally choose to abdicate your thinking to Groc, OpenAI or ChatGPT.

We see it everywhere now.

Warmest regards comrades.

President Trump Thanks United Nations for Support Vote Toward Gaza Plan for Peace

President Trump has often remarked that the originating charter for the United Nations could well have served a mission for global peace and stability, were it not for the influence of bastardized small-minded politics and corruption that comes with it.

Yesterday, the U.N Security Council voted to support President Trump’s peace plan for Gaza, despite the significant hurdles that remain.  The U.N. vote was needed by several nations who have expressed a willingness to send military as part of the international stabilization force.

VIA President Trump – “Congratulations to the World on the incredible Vote of the United Nations Security Council, just moments ago, acknowledging and endorsing the BOARD OF PEACE, which will be chaired by me, and include the most powerful and respected Leaders throughout the World. This will go down as one of the biggest approvals in the History of the United Nations, will lead to further Peace all over the World, and is a moment of true Historic proportion!

Thank you to the United Nations, and all of the Countries on the U.N. Security Council, China, Russia, France, The United Kingdom, Algeria, Denmark, Greece, Guyana, South Korea, Pakistan, Panama, Sierra Leone, Slovenia, and Somalia. Also thank you to those Countries that weren’t on this Committee, but strongly backed the effort, including Qatar, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Turkiye, and Jordan. The members of the Board, and many more exciting announcements, will be made in the coming weeks.”  {SOURCE}

First Backfire – Former Clinton/Obama Official Goes into Hiding After Exposure of Relationship with Jeffrey Epstein

Larry Summers was Bill Clinton’s Treasury Secretary and Barack Obama’s Director of the National Economic Council.

Emails released as part of the legislative effort to deliver sunlight onto the creepy network of Epstein, now shows Larry Summers as one of Jeffrey Epstein’s affiliates. Emails show Epstein was one of Summer’s “wingmen” as the Harvard alumni chased a romantic relationship with the daughter of a senior Chinese Communist Party officials.

Harvard Crimson – […] “In a sequence of texts and emails between November 2018 and July 5, 2019, Summers turned to Epstein for advice on his pursuit of the woman. Epstein was quick to chime in with assurance and suggestions, describing himself in one November 2018 message as Summers’ “wing man.”

The messages became public after House Republicans released more than 20,000 files from the Epstein estate on Wednesday. Summers’ correspondence with Epstein, a financier who pled guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008, ends just one day before Epstein was arrested on new sex trafficking charges.
