Fr0m The Real Story 

By Terry Glavin

Also, it’s official: Samidoun is a terrorist organization and Khaled Barakat is officially a terrorist (thank you, America). This has been a hell of a week.

Spies in the House!

I’ve just come from the Montreal International Security Summit on China and the Indo-Pacific where I joined the Globe and Mail’s Bob Fife and Yaqiu Wang from Freedom House on a panel titled Decoding Transnational Repression and Foreign Influence Operations. CPAC recorded the summit. When the video clips are available I’ll post them here.

At the moment I’m in Ottawa, where all everybody seems to be talking about whether Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has finally and fatally beclowned himself by his melodramatic performance at Madame Justice Hogue’s Foreign Influence Inquiry hearings this past week.

If you’re interested in that sort of thing here’s some reading for when you’re done here: Trudeau’s interference allegations a dramatic act of self-preservation; Trudeau the Magnificent offers foreign-interference inquiry a master class in redirecting attention; Trudeau came to the foreign interference inquiry to hurl a grenade at his opponent.

On the allegation that Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre doesn’t want to know who’s among the compromised politicians identified in that secret report of the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians, come back when you’re done reading this newsletter and give a listen to former New Democratic Party leader Tom Mulcair, here.

As for Trudeau’s headline-grabbing assertion that the Conservatives have a serious foreign-influence problem that party leader Pierre Poilievre doesn’t want to talk about (Poilievre minced no words, calling Trudeau a liar and demanding that he name names), it will not come as news to Real Story subscribers or to readers acquainted with my contributions to the National Post that yes, the Conservatives have a problem.

It’s nothing like the Liberals’ circumstances of course, the main difference being that Trudeau’s Liberals don’t see Beijing’s lavish dotings to their electoral advantage in the federal polls of 2019 and 2021 as particularly unwelcome. Trudeau has never given any indication that he finds anything unseemly about the affections of Beijing’s Mandarin bloc donors and deal-makers in Canada.

Teenagers who aren’t even Canadian citizens or permanent residents, mobilized en masse to vote in Liberal Party candidacy and leadership races? Sure, let them in, Trudeau told the Hogue Commission: “Expanding the pool is also a way to try to engage future voters – those too young to vote or who are not yet Canadian citizens.”

The Conservatives have had their own entanglements. See: Conservatives, the Media and CCP Psy-Ops for a link-rich deep background piece on the whole thing. This was pretty important too: The Comprador in the Conservative leadership race keeps digging. Here’s the bedrock Jean Charest is about to hit.

Now that Canada’s diplomatic relations with India are broken …

There’s been so much going on in my “beat” this week that I need to try hard not to bog everyone down here. Below I’ll have some news for you that you’re unlikely to have come across anywhere else, related to my front page piece in the National Post, here.

Certain incendiary facts related to the Canada-India rumpus will have to wait for subsequent Real Story editions, but I do have some riveting details below about the sinister Indian intelligence-agency spymaster who Canada is determined to shold accountable for Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s murder in Surrey in June last year. Let’s just say he doesn’t fit the profile.

For now, riddle me this.

The crime gang that the RCMP says Delhi has contracted to carry out its dirty counter-terrorism operations against Khalistani extremists here in Canada is the Lawrence Bishnoi crime syndicate. “We believe that that group is connected to agents of the Government of India,” Assistant RCMP Commissioner Brigitte Gauvin said Monday.

But in India, law enforcement agencies are engaged in a long and drawn-out war with the Bishnoi gang, and Narendra Modi’s people say they’re furious that Canada isn’t helping. Ottawa won’t even respond to extradition requests. India’s National Investigation Agency says Bishnoi’s mobsters have been directly collaborating with the Khalistanis in various criminal enterprises, and they’ve been running extortion, kidnapping and gun-running operations in India from their safe havens in Canada.

The NIA prepared a charge sheet against several Bishnoi gangsters last year setting out their various ties to Babbar Khalsa International, a listed Khalistani terrorist organization in Canada. Talwinder Singh Parmar’s Babbar Khalsa organization was behind the murder of 329 passengers in the 1985 Air India atrocity, which was plotted and carried out in Canada under the noses of the RCMP.

Bishnoi has been in prison for a decade, but Indian police agencies say his operations across the Indian subcontinent are run from Canada by his chief lieutenant, the gangster Goldy Brar. It’s not that Bishnoi or Brar are devoted Khalistanis; they’re devoted to guns, money and power.

For as much background as you could possibly want on the suffering of the Sikhs and the harms done by Khalistani extremists over four decades in Canada and India, there’s quite a bit in the Real Story archives.

Of immediate relevance: Politics and The Punjabi Gangland Wars

Introductory dispatches: Why I know where the bodies are buried.

Part 1: Is India interfering in Canada’s affairs or is it the other way round?

Part 2: Did Ottawa Sabotage Modi’s Peace Talks?

Part 3: Conspiracy Theories, From Inside The House.

More recently: The worst of all possible worlds; Defiling the memory of dead Canadians; The worst mass murder in Canadian history.
As you may have picked up from my tone. I’m not fond of the Khalistanis. They killed a friend of mine, among several thousand others. Follow those links above and you’ll understand.

Speaking of lurid Khalistani conspiracy theories and defiling the memory of the Air India dead, Liberal MP Sukh Dhaliwal is sponsoring a petition for an inquiry to entertain allegations that the Government of India itself blew up Air India Flight 182 to make Khalistani separatists look bad.

India Strikes Back: ‘You want names? Here are some names.’

Furious with Trudeau’s refusal to cooperate with its own counter-terrorism and organized crime investigations, this week India released the names of several Khalistanis and gangsters from a list of extradition requests that Ottawa has allegedly ignored.

The Bishnoi boss Goldy Brar is just one of them. Another, who I knew only by his alias “Sunny Toronto” until a couple of day ago, is reportedly a Canadian Border Services Agency official who lives in Abbotsford, B.C.; In the cause of discretion I’ll leave his name and address out of it for the time being.

Ottawa’s got the list now.

Ujjal Dosanjh, the former NDP B.C. premier and Liberal MP makes an astute observation: India-Canada relations are likely to remain broken until both Trudeau and Modi are gone. Ujjal and I go way back. The Khalistanis beat him within an inch of his life back in the 1980s.

Dosanjh is not impressed with the way Trudeau and his ministers are grandstanding about what Indian spies may or may not be doing in Canada: “Why do they have to say anything? Why, in particular, when they say nothing about Khalistani extremism in the first place?”

Speaking of the Trudeau government’s astonishing inattentiveness to fanatical extremists engaging in incitements and intimidations and coming and going from Canada as they please. . .

An excruciatingly embarassing Canadian moment.

I was airborne on the first leg of the long haul to the Montreal Summit when the news broke. CBC version: Canada lists pro-Palestinian group Samidoun as terrorist entity.

(I’m not going to bang on again about how describing Samidoun as “pro-Palestinian” in a headline is an unfortunate case of the news media once again conceding the specious claim Samidoun makes for itself against the case that it should have been outlawed years ago, so let’s just move on).

During a brief stopover in Vancouver I checked my phone, and holy cow. The emails, text messages, phone messages. . .then my phone started ringing. I’d turned down a half dozen interviews before the day was over.

It all began here, in April, 2022, with this investigation: The Curious Case of Khaled Barakat. It carried on until just a few days ago: Liberal failure to outlaw pro-terrorist group Samidoun is mind boggling

In between,there was a lot of this sort of thing: Why was man linked to terrorist group allowed to speak at city-owned Ottawa venue? Group banned in Germany gets carte blanche in Canada to glorify Hamas massacre, Finally, a terrorist sympathiser is arrested.

Necessary reading for anyone who wants the deep backstory: Samidoun: The Network.

I’m not due any great part of the credit for Samidoun’s ill luck, although I’d like think that all that research and all those interviews and investigations and fact-checking shifts for the National Post and the Ottawa Citizen and The Real Story going back two and a half years have amounted to something worthwhile.

Credit for Samidoun’s comeuppance this week genuinely belongs elsewhere. It belongs to the terrific research staff and the leadership of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, NGO Monitor, B’nai Brith, Friends of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights . . . and in the House of Commons, Michael Chong, Shuv Majumdar, Kevin Vuong, Jamil Jivani, Anthony Housefather, and lately Pierre Poilievre.

I better stop there or it’ll be a long list and I’ll leave someone off and feel bad. Mostly I’d like to thank the paying subscribers to The Real Story, where I’ve done most of my work on this file. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without you, so take a bow.

The Real Story is made possible by paying subscribers who get all sorts of news backstories otherwise unavailable anywhere.

Why can’t we call this a proud Canadian moment?

Let me put it this way.

In effect as of last Friday, the U.S. Treasury Department has designated a federally-registered Canadian non-profit corporation a “sham charity” that has been covertly and openly serving a Foreign Terrorist Organization listed by the U.S. State Department, for years, specifically the Specially Designated Global Terrorist organization known as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

Let that sink in. The Americans were forced to list one of Canada’s federally-registered non-profits as a terrorist entity. The PFLP has been on Canada’s own terrorist list all this time, too, and for several years, to no avail, Jewish advocacy organizations and Israeli diplomats had been hammering away to bring Samidoun to Ottawa’s attention.

Washington agreed to present this turn of events as a collaboration with Ottawa, and that’s fine. Diplomacy and all that. Canadian and American officials have been chatting for a year about how to get this mess sorted, but by last week the Americans were done waiting. Canada had to act swiftly.

Here’s something odd about Ottawa’s account: Samidoun meets the definition of a ‘terrorist group’ under Canada’s Criminal Code,” following Germany’s decision to do just that. Israel isn’t mentioned. Maybe that’s because Samidoun was registered with Corporations Canada as a non-profit corporation a mere three days after Israel listed Samidoun as a terrorist group and about two years after Ottawa was first warned that the PFLP was using Canada as a base of operations through Samidoun.

It was just as the financial, insurance and fundraising walls were closing in on the organization, globally, that Ottawa threw Samidoun a lifeline, on March 3, 2021.

Samidoun appears to remain a federally-registered non-profit, although its Corporations Canada page includes a note: “Government of Canada lists Samidoun as a terrorist entity.” At least as of Wednesday, Samidoun shows up on Public Safety Canada’s list of proscribed terrorist groups.

There’s an important distinction between the Americans’ listing announcement and Canada’s move. Here’s the U.S. Treasury Department: “Also designated today is Khaled Barakat, a member of the PFLP’s leadership. Together, Samidoun and Barakat play critical roles in external fundraising for the PFLP.” The Government of Canada is silent about Barakat.

A Palestinian from the West Bank town of Dahiyat al-Barid, Barakat is a Canadian citizen now. He first showed up in Canada at the University of British Columbia about 20 years ago. At some point along the way Barakat married the insufferable American immigrant Charlotte Kates, the Samidoun rally-organizer, international coordinator and slogan shouter arrested on hate-speech charges in April. Unaccountably, the B.C. Prosecution Service is still fussing and mulling and dragging its feet: no prosecution, six months on.

Barakat was last noticed in Beirut where he was livestreaming a conversation with Laith Marouf, the grossly antisemitic apologist for Syria’s Bashar Assad who famously siphoned hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal “anti-racism” and broadcasting consultation contracts before anyone in Ottawa even noticed.

Back to the India-Canada dyspepsia.

What does Justin Trudeau mean by proof?

I’m reluctant to include Monday’s extraordinary RCMP press conference among the several exercises in diversionary stage-management that Team Trudeau undertook this past week. But I do wonder.

The big headlines from that presser involved the RCMP’s conclusion that there are “links” between Indian diplomats and certain of the outrages that have occurred in a crime wave of extortion, arson, and strongarming in the South Asian community over the past year or so. The upshot is that Delhi is using the crime wave as cover to go after Khalistanis in Canada who are wanted India, and there are even “links tying agents of the Government of India to homicides.”

It’s certainly plausible. As Real Story subscribers will know, for quite some time now Narendra Modi’s government has been furious about the Trudeau government’s reluctance to tread on the toes of powerful Khalistani elements that have embedded themselves in Canada’s Sikh temples. It’s all “vote bank politics,” the Indians say.

The RCMP has concluded that Delhi’s overseas counter-terrorism efforts have come to include going after the gangs on their own turf according to gang rules. Delhi’s frustration involves at least two dozen high-profile criminals and Khalistanis in Canada who are wanted in India in several serious criminal and terrorism cases. India says they continue to run their gangland empires across the Indian subcontinent from their safe havens here in Canada.

Despite the impression Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly set out to give in her account of the expulsion of India’s High Commissioner and five diplomats this week, RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme and Assistant RCMP Commissioner Brigitte Gauvin said the bad behaviour they were on about in their press briefing had nothing to do with the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

And despite Joly’s version, India says its embassy and consular officials were withdrawn for their own safety because Trudeau himself, by his florid language and grandstanding, had put them at risk.

Canada’s foot-stamping, tantrum-having approach has been avoided by the Americans, who report that Indian officials are being perfectly cooperative in the case that caused Trudeau to stand up in the House of Commons last September to accuse Modi of killing a Canadian on Canadian soil. That wasn’t a stunt quite on the scale of lowering the flags on all government buildings quY

Unlike the case of Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s murder, the possibly-related plot to kill Nijjar’s Sikhs for Justice associate Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, foiled by the Federal Bureau of Investigations and the Drug Enforcement Agency, is coming along swimmingly.

The only fleeting evidence of an Indian government agent’s involvement in Nijjar’s murder comes from the transcipts the U.S. Department of Justice put together from wiretaps in the comically compromised murder-for-hire plot to kill Pannun – of the five people who were in on it, one was an FBI agent and another was a DEA informant.

Trudeau himself conceded to the Hogue Commission Tuesday that he had no proof of the Indian government’s involvement in the Nijjar murder, that he had only “intelligence” suggesting an Indian government connection. As you might imagine, the news media in India jumped on Trudeau’s deposition with glee.

The Department of Justice transcipt contains an exchange between the gangster Nikhil Gupta (now in U.S. custody) and his prospective hit man (who was in reality an FBI agent) in which Gupta describes Nijjar as one of several targets in an anti-Khalistani assassination scheme with big payouts.

The money man in the arrangement has turned out to be something rather less than a movie-script spy chief. Vikash Yadav, a disreputable former RAW officer, was himself arrested by Delhi police on extortion, attempted murder and kidnapping charges last December.

In an amateurish shakedown, Yadav and an accomplice beat a Lodhi Road businessman, relieved him of his cash, a gold chain and his rings, and left him at the side of the road. Yadav was arrested soon after by the Delhi police, but he was allowed out on bail four months later, in April, and hasn’t been seen since. The FBI has issued a warrant for his arrest, and the U.S. is expected to ask for his extradition if he turns up.

It’s astonishing that something so tawdry could lead to Canada’s worst fracture in diplomatic relations with a fellow democracy in living memory. But this is Justin Trudeau’s Canada, and this is how we roll.

By the time you read this I should be airborne again. I’m tired.

History in the making? Trump, Zelensky hold meeting about Ukraine war in Vatican ahead of Francis’ funeral

Published on April 26, 2025

By Stephen Kokx

Trump and Zelenksy held an impromptu 15-minute meeting inside the Vatican just moments before Francis’ funeral. The Ukrainian leader later said a ‘ceasefire’ was discussed.

U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met inside St. Peter’s Basilica today moments before the start of Pope Francis’ funeral.  

 

Trump and Zelensky were in Rome along with over 160 dignitaries, including Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, Javier Milei of Argentina, and Prince William of the United Kingdom. The ceremony was presided over by Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, dean of the College of Cardinals. 

Trump and Zelenksy held an impromptu 15-minute meeting inside the Vatican while seated in two chairs. Zelenksy later said on X that their conversation involved discussing a “full and unconditional ceasefire” and forging a “reliable and lasting peace that will prevent another war from breaking out.” 

Photographs circulating on social media showed British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron also joined in on the conversation. They held private meetings with Zelensky as well. 

Trump’s social media team shared photos and videos of the president and his wife Melania. In one of them, Trump is seen meeting with New York Cardinal Archbishop Timothy Dolan, who is a longtime friend.  

Leaders from various non-Catholic religions attended the funeral as well, including Buddhists, Sikhs, Hindus, Zoroastrians, though no Muslim or Jewish leaders were officially present per Vatican reporter Michael Haynes. Israel’s Foreign Ministry X account deleted several controversial posts it had initially issued after Francis’ death. Francis had been especially critical of the country’s war in Gaza, hinting on multiple occasions that it may constitute genocide. 

After landing in Rome for the funeral Friday, Trump posted on Truth Social that he had “a good day in talks and meetings with Russia and Ukraine.” He urged both countries to “meet, at very high levels, to ‘finish it off.’”

Why are the globalists so opposed to Trump’s efforts to make peace in Ukraine?

Published on April 26, 2025

By

From LifeSiteNews

By Frank Wright

The narrative over Ukraine reveals not only how hard the war economy will fight to rescue its system from peace, but also how the hardest sell these days is hard reality.

The Trump administration’s moves toward peace in Ukraine – and elsewhere – have attracted widespread criticism from within and without the globalist establishment.

As the U.S. government now threatens to “walk away” from Ukraine if its seven-point peace plan is rejected, a new battle line is being drawn between permanent war and propaganda – and the urgent reality demanding radical change from the globalist business as usual.

Trump has proposed an immediate ceasefire, no NATO membership for Ukraine, and for Russia to keep the territories it has taken during the war – with the U.S. to recognize Crimea as Russian. The proposal for peace has been met with outrage, and even accusations of betrayal. Yet the peace deal appears to be a simple recognition of reality. What’s the problem?

Dan Davis’ deep dive into Ukraine

In his deep dive of April 23, Dan Davis helps to explain why reality is so controversial and the mention of peace akin to treason. He joins German journalist and academic Patrik Baab to show how the pro-war faction in the U.S. and Europe have fought their own line in the media for well over a decade.

Davis, whose appointment to a National Intelligence post was recently sabotaged by another war faction – that of the Israel lobby – has learned the personal consequences of contradicting the globalist war narrative. So has Baab – who was fired from his academic post in 2022 for the crime of journalism.

Baab had traveled to Donbass to research a now published book he discusses with Davis. Titled On Both Sides of the Front, it informs his discussion of the “NATO-backed Maidan coup” in 2014 and the media campaign which has sold this war to Westerners as yet another defence of democracy abroad – as in Iraq. According to Foreign Policy, Ukraine is a magical democracy which “still functions without elections.”

Having arrived at the time of the Russian-backed elections in Donetsk and Lugansk regions, Baab was accused on his return to Germany of having “legitimized” the votes and was dismissed and smeared in the German press.

Both Davis and Raab give important context to U.S. threats to “walk away” from Ukraine if a peace deal is not settled, showing the reason why “two different stories” are so often told “about the same events.”

Reality vs. fantasy, or life and death

In Western politics and media, one side is invested in the war and the other is not. This can also be seen as the factions of fantasy versus reality.

EU Chief Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen famously claimed in 2022 that Russia was cannibalizing “refrigerators and washing machines” to harvest microchips for its war machine, with the UK defense minister saying in early 2023 that Russian soldiers had been reduced to fighting with shovels. In the media, Ukraine’s victory was only a matter of time – which was money. Yours.

To keep this money flowing, the Western audience whose taxes provide it must be convinced there is good reason to keep sending it to Zelensky, who cannot pay it back.

U.S./NATO started the war

As Baab explains, the reason why the global faction arranged this war was nothing to do with Ukraine – the objective was to collapse and balkanize Russia. This would give the globalist British state and its pro-war EU partners a new lease of geopolitical life, as well as shoring up their crippled economies with command of Russia’s near limitless natural resources.

A global war industry

Former U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken ran WestExec – a profitable war business consultancy, one of many which monetized forever war through influence peddling.

Former under-secretary of state Victoria Nuland, who managed the 2014 coup in Ukraine, has her own family business of war. It is called “the Kagan-industrial complex” after her husband arch-neocon Robert Kagan and his brother Frederick – whose ISW urges escalation in the talking points it supplies to pro-war outlets in the mainstream media. This network runs public relations for the wars its members start. Nice work if you can get it.

Russia has won

This is the reality behind the slogans of “Slava Ukraini” and the framing of the war as the defense – and inevitable triumph – of “democracy.” This fantasy narrative is now collapsing. Why?

In reality, Russia has won the war. As Baab points out, “Putin won the war. That means the West has to meet Putin’s proposals.”

This reality is a problem for the Western media which has sold every disastrous war of the last century as a win and a sacrifice in the defense of democracy. It is also a problem for the liberal-global elite, whose political capital is invested in the defeat of Russia.

U.S. will ‘walk away’ if no deal

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio – together with Vice President JD Vance – have said that if Trump’s seven-point plan is not accepted the U.S. will “walk away” from Ukraine – as retired Colonel Douglas Macgregor has consistently said they should.

Neither Rubio nor chief negotiator Steve Witkoff attended the London conference on April 23, at which Zelensky predictably rejected Trump’s seven-point peace deal.

Col. Macgregor told Judge Andrew Napolitano it was clear “Zelensky is not going to agree” to the proposed deal.

Why? It is based on reality. Macgregor agrees that the U.S. should walk away – reminding viewers “this war would never have happened had we not mightily supported this regime we helped into power in 2014.”

Why did the U.S. do that? “To attack Russia,” Macgregor says, “because the whole idea was to build up a Ukrainian battering ram and hurl it at Russia. Crazy.”

A frustrated and uncharacteristically alarmed Macgregor asks, “Why are we even involved?”

He suggests “the best President Trump can do is say ‘It’s over. I never wanted this. It’s not my war. I’m suspending all aid, I’m pulling out.’”

The former Trump adviser adds, “Well, he didn’t do that. What’s next? I’m not sure.”

“Whatever happens, we look ridiculous. Again.”

Macgregor adds that “at least we have had the sense to walk away. What’s important is to normalize relations with Moscow,” explaining that Zelensky’s claims to Crimea and the Russian regions now absorbed into Russia are “nonsense.”

Trump: recognizing reality?

The Trump administration has offered to recognize Crimea as Russian – as has been historically and actually the case. Trump himself has accused Zelensky of sabotaging the peace deal, as the unelected leader of Ukraine refuses this and other concessions made unavoidable by the fact that Russia has won the war.

 

“The situation for Ukraine is dire – He can have Peace or, he can fight for another three years before losing the whole Country. I have nothing to do with Russia, but have much to do with wanting to save, on average, five thousand Russian and Ukrainian soldiers a week, who are dying for no reason whatsoever.”

Trump laid the blame squarely on Zelensky – saying his impossible demands would simply prolong the killing, as well as resulting in total defeat.

“The statement made by Zelenskyy today will do nothing but prolong the ‘killing field,’ and nobody wants that! We are very close to a deal, but the man with ‘no cards to play’ should now, finally, GET IT DONE.”

 

In 2014, Crimeans voted “overwhelmingly” to secede from Ukraine and rejoin Russia. The territory was gifted to the Ukrainian Soviet Republic by Nikitia Khrushchev in 1954, though its population remained predominantly ethnic Russian.

Trump’s aim, as Alastair Crooke has pointed out, is far bigger than merely ending this war. The overall goal here is a reset of the global order – away from the death cult model of forever war, and toward stabilization and trade abroad to power national renewal at home. As Crooke notes, Trump “is ringed by a resolute domestic enemy front in the form of an ‘industrial concern’ infused with Deep State ideology, centered primarily on preserving U.S. global power (rather than on mending of the economy).”

Surrender to Russia?

Reports in the globalist media of a total surrender to Russia are overblown:

 

Trump countered the narrative of “concessions” to Russia with the stark riposte that Russia’s choice not to “take all of Ukraine” was a significant concession in itself.

 

As Alex Christoforou of The Duran noted, Trump’s position on Crimea presented the EU with a “choice,” which the globalist Financial Times says was “forced” upon the pro-war bloc. 

Russians propose alliance with U.S.

So what do the Russians think?

A remarkable response from the Russians shows some of their perspective. On April 16, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) published a call for Washington and Moscow to unite against the EU – and to thwart the moves of the British state to escalate and prolong the war.

According to RT, the statement said, “The US and Russia are natural allies against ‘Eurofascism’ and the tyrannical tendencies prevalent in Western European countries.”

From its beginning, the EU has tended to be a totalitarian entity, ruled over by unelected, globalist-minded bureaucrats and elites determined to crush the unique cultures and sovereignty of its member states. Many have warned that that it was created to be the springboard for a New World Order tyranny.

The SVR sounded an optimistic note, suggesting Russian and U.S. officials are working together to secure peace.

“The agency said that ‘foreign expert circles’ are hopeful that Russia and the US will work together to prevent ‘a new global conflict’ and confront ‘possible provocations both from Ukraine and from the “maddened Europeans” traditionally urged on by Great Britain.’”

As Davis and Baab discussed, neither Steve Witkoff nor Marco Rubio attended the recent London conference on Ukraine – which Macgregor said was pointless due to Zelensky’s refusal to accept reality.

British state vs. Trump peace deal

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has joined the EU in “contradicting” Trump, according to the Daily Telegraph. Starmer says the unelected Zelensky must have a say in any deal – and Zelensky is of course saying no.

The Daily Telegraph blasted Trump’s seven-point peace plan as “surrender, capitulation, betrayal, appeasement,” saying “Trump’s deal” to secure peace “would plunge the world into war” by “rewarding aggression” and “overturning [the] rules-based order.”

War is the rule of the ‘rules-based order’

It was the “rules-based order” which expanded NATO in the 1990s, against George Kennan’s 1997 warning of this “fateful error” – which would provoke war with Russia.

Kennan predicted that moving NATO’s borders 300 miles eastward would make conflict with Russia inevitable, describing it as “the most fateful error of American policy in the entire post-Cold War era.”

This was no error. The collapse and plunder of Russia and its absorption into the global empire appears to have been the intention all along.

War has been the rule on which the rules-based order is based, as independent journalists have reported for years. This is why it is no surprise to hear the remnants of that order in Europe and in Britain demonize any attempts at peace – as treason.

British state determined to prolong war

The British state is determined to escalate and prolong the war. GrayZone journalist Kit Klarenberg has documented the consistent efforts of the UK Deep State to do so and returned this week with a report detailing how a secret government unit has been directing military operations in Ukraine and in Russia – supporting a strategy of continuing the war even after any ceasefire.

Does Trump have a plan?

Despite Colonel Macgregor’s complaint that he sees “no grand strategy” in the Trump administration, it is clear that the old one is dissolving. As the Trump administration’s peace proposals show, the one which will replace it relies on securing normalized relations – and trade – with Russia, instead of a perpetual march to world war trailered in Western media as inevitable.

 

The Trump administration has invited howls of outrage for its “surrender” to Russia in pursuing direct negotiations to end the war in Ukraine, as well as over its secret talks from before day one with Iran to avert a major conflict planned by another war faction: the Israel lobby.

The move away from the economic model of the liberal global system is a move away from an economic model of permanent war. This forever war model is waged against your Christian civilization at home in the mass media and the culture it transmits, as much as its business model bombs nations abroad.

Significant interests are being mobilized to prevent this move. Trump needs a win on the domestic front in this perilous moment of the detransition from globalism. The U.S. can no longer afford these foreign commitments – it is facing financial, moral, and diplomatic bankruptcy as the fantasy project of world domination hits real life limits.

The narrative over Ukraine reveals not only how hard the war economy will fight to rescue its system from peace, but also how the hardest sell these days is hard reality.
