For the first time in his second term, President Trump announced new anti-Russia sanctions on Wednesday, with measures targeting Russia’s two largest oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil.
While the move is being touted by the media as a way to pressure Russia to end the war in Ukraine, Russian President Putin is refusing to back down, and issuing new warnings against the U.S. over Trump’s threats to introduce Tomahawk missiles into the war.
Col. Larry Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to the U.S. Secretary of State, noted that the latest sanctions are a signal to Putin that he needs to finish the war, and the only way there is going to be peace is “by force.”
He said Putin has likely made up his mind to eventually “turn the lights out in Kiev, maybe all over Ukraine,” and to continue the war until Russia takes back Odessa, and Ukraine is left as a land-locked country without a port on the Black Sea.
Bessent’s Grand Strategy: Use Tariff Negotiations To Isolate China From The Rest Of The World
(Zero Hedge) Yesterday, president Trump laid out the stakes in the ever-escalating trading war between the US and China, in typical laconic fashion: “We may want countries to choose between us and China” (a topic discussed further here), with the White House adding that “The ball is in China’s court. China needs to make a deal with us.”
(Terra Zetzz) The world needs to understand the U.S. Treasury bond market is funded off the world needing dollar reserves aka bank derivatives (off balance sheet dollars).
When the Petrodollar ends on June 9th, there is no need for the world to hold U.S. Treasuries as the global world reserve asset in the oil trade.
While tariffs are often described by politicians as a tax on foreign businesses, the costs are borne by consumers in the country that is imposing the tariffs. Tariffs directly increase the cost of domestic sales by artificially increasing the price on imports.
Brazil’s mandatory vaccinations for children as criminal Eugenicist, Globalist, Technocrat President Lula da Silva demands people poison their children or lose welfare, Josh Sigurdson reports.
The President is quite literally telling the population that they will starve if they do not inject themselves with poison as he further destroys the economy and creates what one may call a “Hegelian Dialectic” of sorts.
Children as young as 6 months are mandated. Meanwhile, those who protest his government are swiftly arrested and forced vaccinated in jail which is terrifying countless Brazilians out of rallying.
America’s enemies are on the march. They are smart, they are brutal, and they will stop at nothing to harm our country. Arkansas is the first state in the country to fight back and kick a Chinese-owned company off our farmland.

If you want to change the world, then stop tolerating the intolerable. Resist, complain, detach, scream, fight, withdraw — or simply refuse to participate. Put bad people on the defensive and demand THEY explain why THEY are such terrible people. Doing all this, becoming UNGOVERNABLE, may or may not change the world. But it will definitely change YOUR world.
(Redacted News) China and Saudi Arabia just dealt a throat punch to the U.S. dollar. This first week of April we got our clearest sign yet that America is in serious economic trouble after China and Saudi Arabia filed new agreements on oil and trade. But the biggest problem came from the Crown Prince who said he’s done trying to please The United States.
It’s now time to prepare: A war with #China will be fought on #American soil. The #Chinese military will take down our grid, turn off our water, and spread disease. #CCP saboteurs will detonate bombs to terrorize. We have left ourselves vulnerable in our own homeland.
Difficult is the way. Narrow is the gate. No one is coming to save you. Everything is your responsibility. Salvation waits on the other side of fear. Get your house in order. LET’S WIN!
The CCP are targeting Ughihr Muslims for genocide. Most have not had anything to eat in 40 days. The American MSM is silent on this. China is claiming “only 20 people a day are dying” but that admission asks the question, why are ANY starving at all?
How many will die this time? Millions of Chinese residents were put in lockdown after a “new Covid surge” allegedly occurred using the BA.5 subvariant of Omicron as the reason. The Beijing government then instituted a city-wide vaccine mandate, only to repeal it a few days later. Chinese residents, however, continue to be locked down.
Keep in mind that western governments point to China as the example of how to handle Covid.
A guy named Bongbong Marcos just won the 2022 Philippines presidential election. Why does that matter to you? Marcos is pro-China, and the USA could lose a massive foothold in Asia. This has incredibly important global implications. But how did it end up like this? The answers are both fascinating, and very worrying.
A team of researchers has found that biometric tests used by banks and cryptocurrency exchanges to verify users’ identities can be fooled by deepfake technology.
Steve Cortes was on Steve Bannon’s War Room Monday. He discussed growing evidence of China’s failing economy which impacts the US economy greatly. To put it mildly, China’s economy is falling apart.
About two and a half years ago, ZeroHedge told readers China was panic hoarding food, which was several months before the virus plandemic began to spread worldwide; Beijing has since managed to stockpile more than half of the world’s maize and other grains that have resulted in rapid food inflation and triggered famine in some countries.

China is considering deploying military personnel and economic development officials to Bagram airfield, perhaps the single-most prominent symbol of the 20-year U.S. military presence in Afghanistan.
Biden’s nominee for assistant secretary of defense for special operations and low-intensity conflict, Christopher Maier, if confirmed is sure to get the attention of Beijing given his words this week to the Senate Armed Services Committee on Taiwan. The man who is also head of the Department of Defense’s Defeat-ISIS Task Force urged Congressional leaders in a Thursday briefing to establish a program for US special forces to train local troops in Taiwan toward deterring a possible “Chinese invasion”.
