SPEAKER 2
We've been telling you for a long time that Canada is going elbows up. They are not going to be bullied by the Trump regime. And now we're finally seeing corporate media start to recognize this. For example, the headlines for the past few days. From Politico, what other countries are taking away from Trump's battle with Canada?
0:23
This from USA Today. Canadian cold shoulder. Trump's antics anger our otherwise polite neighbor. you think, from the Washington Post. These Canadians are canceling US trips as Trump sours relations. In notes explaining why they're not coming, Canadians say farewell for now. And by the way, we told you
0:47
that while the US Tourism Bureau was expecting that the Canadian boycott would be around 10%, I was saying, no way. I said, it's going to be closer to 50 to 75, closer to 100%. I said, most Canadians are not coming to the United States unless they absolutely had to.

Charlie Angus: Canada is Making Trump Pay

My latest conversation with Canadian MP Charlie Angus proves the resistance is global—and growing stronger by the day.
390

By Ben Meiselas

I've been saying it for months now, and the latest headlines are finally catching up: Canada isn’t just standing up to Donald Trump—they’re going elbows up. This week on the MeidasTouch Podcast, I had the honor of welcoming back Canadian Member of Parliament Charlie Angus, a fierce and fearless voice who's been sounding the alarm long before corporate media decided to take notice.

Look at what we’re seeing now. Politico: “What other countries are taking away from Trump’s battle with Canada.” USA Today: “Canadian cold shoulder: Trump’s antics anger our otherwise polite neighbor.” Even The Washington Post is reporting that Canadians are canceling trips to the U.S. in droves—and I called that months ago. I said the boycott would hit 50–75%, maybe even closer to 100%. Why? Because Canadians are done being gaslit by a delusional wannabe dictator.

And yet, even as the economic fallout becomes undeniable, the Trump regime’s response is as pathetic as ever. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was asked about Trump’s absurd suggestion of annexing Canada and gave the classic MAGA brush-off: “It’s just a disagreement.” Right—because threatening to absorb a sovereign nation into your authoritarian fantasy land is just a mild difference of opinion now?

Charlie Angus doesn’t mince words. He knows what’s at stake—not just for Canada, but for global democracy. He talked about how Canada saw this coming and prepared, while the U.S. media parroted Trump’s propaganda about tariffs and trade. And he’s right: the resistance north of the border is stronger, more united, and more defiant than ever.

And get this—Trump’s goons, like Peter Navarro, are now whining that Canada needs to “tone down the rhetoric.” Please. Maybe try respecting other nations before demanding respect.

As always, I asked Charlie what message he wanted to send directly to Trump and his team—because yes, we know they watch. And Charlie delivered, as he always does.

This fight isn’t just ours—it’s international. So if you’re feeling discouraged, know this: the world sees Trump for what he is. And they’re not backing down. Neither should we.

Trump wants Greenland and Canada to fulfill the Club of Rome's Regionalized and Adaptive Model of the Global World System:

Club of Rome Ten Kingdom Map, Or Why Trump Plans to Annex Canada & Greenland

On September 17, 1973, the Club of Rome released a Report called the Regionalized and Adaptive Model of the Global World System which was prepared by Directors Mihajlo Mesarovic and Eduard Pestel as part of the Strategy for Survival Project. This revealed the Club’s goal of dividing the world into ten political/economic regions restructured drastically into a ‘horizontal system’ which would involve interdependent ‘world regions’. The ten regions would unite the entire world under a single form of government.

A North American Union of States as a dominant world power that would include the US, Canada, all Central American and Caribbean states, most Atlantic islands (including Greenland and Iceland), most Pacific islands, Taiwan, Hainan, the Philippines and several now Indonesian islands, including Sulawesi. This was to be the dominant power in the world, military and otherwise.

Sorry Joe but this does not make sense to me. Nobody declared war to Canada but they joined forces to liberate Europe, right? I am not a historian and I would have to look that up but as a German/Canadian I am immensely grateful to the Canadians that they liberated my parents and their families from our dictator who brought so much suffering and destruction.

Ok, I looked it up. Germany invaded Poland September 1939 and France and UK declared then war on Nazi Germany. So as member of the Commonwealth same as UK, Canada was in too. Then after the attack from Japan, a German ally at the time, in December 1941 America declared war against Japan, so Nazi Germany declared war against America. That’s when they were in too. What a mess and what a horror scenario. I pray every day the we as Canada and that Europe stay free and sovereign. I hope you too. No crazy wars for expanding territory or other crazy reasons. 🙏🇨🇦

He doesn’t care as he has no heart, no soul, no empathy, no honour, no understanding of sacrifice and if he has, again he doesn’t care. Suckers and losers, what is in it for them? These are his words according to the generals from the first term. If it does not give him lots of money, a prize or a Time magazine cover, he doesn’t care at all. I always remember one sentence from Hitler my dad always talked about: ‘if I will be wrong in my politics, then a hundred million people will go down with me.’ My father, a German, born in 1920, could not get over the fact that one cruel , heartless man could do and say something like this, knowing that an enormous amount of people would loose their life in the process. What shall we call this? Dictator, authoritarian, sociopath, narcissist …. And how do we judge all the enablers?

Yes, he nearly died from his shot wounds and loosing his kidney and he was only about 22 years old at that time. Still was lucky in the way that he got wounded and could return home. Otherwise would have died there for no reason than the crazy imperialistic agenda of a psychopath. We talked a lot about all this when I was a teenager and growing up. He made me understand how it all happened and how you have to take the words of a fascist seriously and how they come for everybody as Pastor Niemöller says in his poem or note. So I knew where this would go from before Trump’s first term but most of the people here (Alberta, very conservative and anti liberal at least outside of big cities) would not take it seriously and even got aggressive when I warned them. Now we will soon have an election here and it is a very similar choice: liberal or Trump liking conservatives. I really hope that what is going on in the US will make that decision easier for more people and make them go to vote. Have a good day Denise.

It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it. The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings. He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws. The saints will be handed over to him for a time, times and half a time.”

Hi Denise, thanks for your reply. I couldn’t agree more to everything what you’ve said. I remember a short interview with a young male Ontarian before the election before the last one. He said that he doesn’t see any difference in the politicians or parties and that he could not change anything anyway, so he would not vote. At that moment I was really disappointed how especially young people seem to take democracy for granted and they would not even make an effort to get some information and decide not even to bother voting. They also seem not to understand that this almost all the time profits the candidate who will work the least for them. Like when Bernie Sanders young voters said that they could not vote for Hillary and then they ended up with Trump. Drives me crazy 🤪best wishes from Alberta to Ontario Elbows up 🇨🇦

Charlie Angus is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He is normally a very quiet man who represents the people in one of the most miserable and cold places in Ontario Canada in the winter, and the summers are hot and humid. Some places he has to fly into by plane or helicopter, because of the snow and ice in our winters.

He also represents the Indigenous people in the area as well. He said he was going to retire since his political party increased the area he serves. I just wish him well in his decision, no matter what he decides.

This article is very important. It shows the catastrophic situation the US is currently in.

Just published on the German news channel n-tv.

https://www.n-tv.de/wirtschaft/Wirtschafts-Nobelpreistraeger-rechnet-mit-Trump-ab-article25634959.html

(expand the comment at the bottom)

---- Here is the article ------

Instead of the hoped-for upturn thanks to Trump's economic policies, investors now fear the opposite. Top American economist Joseph Stiglitz expects "devastating" stagflation in the US and significant damage to the global economy.

Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz predicts a bleak future for the US economy. The Columbia University professor decisively dismisses President Donald Trump's grand promises. The American economist considers the risk of companies moving to the US due to his tariff policy and the announced tax cuts to be manageable. "Some will come," the trade theorist said in an interview with the "Handelsblatt" newspaper. "But overall, the US is currently a terrible place for investments, a high-risk location, so to speak."

Stiglitz, who advised Democratic US President Bill Clinton in the 1990s, cites uncertainty due to "political chaos" and "disregard for the rule of law" as risk factors. Investors wanted to go "where there is legal certainty" – but this has been destroyed in the US.

In Stiglitz's eyes, Trump has become "more malicious" than during his first term. "Every day there is a new shock." Trump's tariff policy and his overall unpredictability are poison for the US economy: "I fear the worst of all possible scenarios: The US is threatened by devastating stagflation." Stagflation means that the economy is stagnating and inflation is high.

The fact that the US stock market is currently weakening is surprising, according to Stiglitz. "The prospect of lower taxes and lower wages should actually be good for share prices," explains the economist. "The falling prices are an unmistakable sign of uncertainty and concern." Adding to the confusion surrounding the tariffs is the disregard for the rule of law and the termination of government contracts. "And the trade war and the tax cuts could drive inflation in the US to a new record high in the foreseeable future."

Trump is "extraordinarily ignorant of economic issues," Stiglitz judges. He also doesn't see any "truly competent economic advisors." "His tax cuts, for example, will widen the trade deficit, just as happened during his first term – so Trump not only has no strategy, he also has no clue," says the Nobel laureate. Trump's radical policy shift represents "a major risk not only for the US economy, but for the entire global economy."

Even after Trump's tax cuts in 2017, corporate investment didn't increase, only stock prices. "But that doesn't have a truly lasting impact on the economy. And this time, stock prices aren't even rising." Stiglitz is convinced that "pessimism is winning," meaning tax cuts would only stimulate the economy in the short term.

I don't think a lot of Canadians know him. I didn't myself until a few months ago. He's kind of a back bencher within his party, not the most popular party either. The first time I saw him on Ben's channel I did some checking and he is well liked by almost everyone and I can see why. He almost made it to our Prime Minister in one election. He was second by less than 150 votes. I think he's getting ready to retire.

I was not familiar with Charlie Angus so I asked the bot. I was trying to come up with a US Politician analogy, so I could try to discern what Canadians he is speaking for. I found this answer informative: "Charlie Angus's outlook is not generally considered "fringe" in the Canadian political context, though it would be fair to characterize him as firmly on the progressive left wing of mainstream Canadian politics.

As a member of the New Democratic Party (NDP), Angus represents views that are part of Canada's established political spectrum. The NDP is Canada's democratic socialist party and holds official party status in Parliament. It has governed several provinces and has been the Official Opposition at the federal level, so it's very much within the mainstream political framework.

Angus's positions on issues like:

Workers' rights and labor protections

Indigenous reconciliation

Environmental protections

Social safety nets

Economic inequality

These align with the NDP platform and have substantial support among certain segments of Canadian voters. What makes Angus notable is not that his views are fringe, but rather his authenticity and consistency in advocating for them.

In the American context, his positions might be compared to the progressive wing of the Democratic Party (people like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren), rather than truly fringe political movements. In Canada's multi-party parliamentary system, views that might be considered more left-leaning in the US context are represented within mainstream political parties."

From malfunctioning accelerators to panels falling off during operation, the Cybertruck has been plagued with safety defects since the moment it hit the road.

One expert compared the Cybertruck’s safety performance to that of the infamous Ford Pinto—an alarming warning about the risks this vehicle poses.

Now, reports indicate that Cybertrucks fail to meet basic pedestrian safety standards in countries like the UK, where they have been banned from the roads.

The Republican party with Trump declaring you won’t have to vote after the 2024 election is documented https://bit.ly/3FqVCYa July 27, 2024

This raises questions about the Republican certitude of a free and fair elections This reference bit.ly/43K4Gl2 is a window as to the possibility of a 2024 RIGGED ELECTION by Republican power brokers Since they were successful in 2024 they now have a plan for all future elections And Trump’s regime has now removed all agencies that would protect future elections: CISA(Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency), EI-ISAC (Election Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis Center), EAC(Elections Assistance Agency), and probably others

The documentary Vigilante Inc America’s New Voter Suppression Hitmen(https://bit.ly/3DM7d3F) was released in August 2024 and outlines a voter stealing project originating out of the Georgia Republican party but now has spread to many states with state legislative actions These efforts led up to the rigged 2024 election(in 2024 9 states had laws allowing vigilante voter challenging and voter rejection….4 of them swing states) The vigilante movement’s sole purpose was to deny voters, particularly Black voters, their right to vote It’s out of the 1946 KKK violent Black voter suppression playbook with a contemporary 21st century twist that evolved out of the Big Lie movement after the 2020 election In the 2024 election the removal of 3.5 million with voting rights by an estimated 40,000 vigilantes worked to knowingly eliminate voters

Voter intimidation by creating fear amongst the electorate particularly among the Black leads to voter suppression It would not be surprising that part of Trump’s pardoning of the J6 insurrectionists among many others is to use them as vigilantes or an armed militia to suppress not only the Black vote but the overall Democrat vote This is probably in full swing as you read this

This issue of voter vigilante activity by removing legitimate registered voters from the rolls is serious because eligible voters can show up at the polls thinking they are registered only to find out that their registration status has been challenged and cannot vote They are left with little or not time to contest the challenge Since 1946 this has been the first time that there has been a mass challenge to voters It's a subversive attempt by the MAGA regime to overcome the will of the people stating that massive voter fraud is occurring

Voter challenge should be illegal According to the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU 30 states had laws on the books for 2024 to suppress the vote particularly the Black vote The concern is that AI will be employed in the future expediting the subversive vigilante election activity The most recent report from the Brennan Center in 2025 is here https://bit.ly/4bUtSHy

Palast in the above cited documentary talks about many other issues with election integrity eg discarded provisional ballots, discarded spoiled ballots, discarded mail in ballots, removal of drop boxes, slowing down mail in votes, long voting lines in Black suburbs vs expedited voting lines in white suburbs etc Disqualified votes are higher amongst racial groups In fact Palast states that a study done in Washington state showed that if you were black a voter had a 400% chance of the ballot being thrown out cited on NPR American elections are basically a disgrace The GOP won't have to rig elections in the future they just need to load the dice

As a Canadian, I’m watching my American neighbors deal with the whole "orange man" situation like someone watching their buddy wrestle a raccoon out of their garage—concerned, but also morbidly entertained.

First up, the 25th Amendment. Force the guy to take a cognitive test and see if he's capable of running a country—hell, let’s start by seeing if he can change his own diaper. Not only would he bomb the dementia screening, but an IQ test? Now that would be must-see TV. The only U.S. president who ever refused an IQ test swore his was 150, equal to JFK. Sure, buddy and I’m the Queen of England. I've studied psychology for decades, and I'd bet good money he'd land somewhere around 70, low average, The downside, what to do with vance and little johnson.

For context, I had a concussion three years ago, and my family insisted I take a dementia test. A 10-year-old could pass it. I did, but it was humiliating. Meanwhile, Trump bragged that he aced it—like flexing about tying your own shoelaces.

Step two: mass protests. Start next month, keep it peaceful, but let’s get thousands of folks trained in self-defense to ring the crowd like a human firewall. Because you know the Proud Boys, the Nazis, and the rest of the vile scum will be there to intimidate. But, we’ll be there too—except we shower regularly and know how to keep our elbows up!

And if that doesn’t work, well… there’s always that option. But I won’t say it. I can’t. Sounds familiar, right?

Thank You Canada!!! I have so much RESPECT for our neighbors BOTH north and south!!! What MAGA, Trump, Musk(rat), et al, are doing to our country is criminal and absolutely heartbreaking.

I am a 5th generation veteran. My mother taught me the virtues of the Franklin Roosevelt values she learned during The Great Depression and World War 2. It seems millions of Americans have either forgotten or don't care about those values. Values about caring and taking care of one another. Again, absolutely heartbreaking and depressing as hell.

Meidas and the Meidas Family give me hope in what is otherwise a hopeless world these days. I thank God for this platform. I use to follow MSNBC during the outbreak of the Iraq invasion of which I was involved with. I stopped listening to them and all the other legacy soon after. ALL of these "for profit" corporate shrill "news outlets" have let down the American public to our literal demise. Unfortunately, millions of people have been miss-informed, under-informed or just outright lied to by these so-called "news" stations. Again, we are paying the price for it today.

My thanks to all of our friends of true freedom and real equality around the world who HAVE to join together to face down these authoritarian threats who care about no one accept themselves. These threats are real and have the ability to kill, once and for all, the very planet upon which we all need to live and survive.

As a Canadian, I’m watching my American brothers deal with the "orange man" situation like someone watching their buddy wrestle a raccoon out of their garage—concerned, but also morbidly entertained.

First up, the 25th Amendment. Force the guy to take a cognitive test and see if he's capable of running a country—hell, let’s start by seeing if he can change his own diaper first. Not only would he bomb the dementia screening, but an IQ test? Now that would be must-see TV. The only U.S. president who ever refused an IQ test swore his was 150, equal to JFK. Sure, orange man. And I’m the Queen of England. I've studied psychology for decades, and I'd bet good money he'd land somewhere in the range of 70, low average if he's having a good day.

For context, I had a concussion three years ago and was suffering from terrible brain fog, so my family insisted I take a dementia test. A 10-year-old could pass it. I did, but it was humiliating. Meanwhile, Trump bragged that he aced it—like bragging about tying your own shoelaces.

Step two: mass protests. Start next month, keep it peaceful, but let’s get thousands of folks trained in self-defense to ring the crowd like a human firewall. Because you know the Proud Boys, the Nazis, and the vile scum will show up trying to intimidate us. Well, Canada will be there with you and we know how to throw a punch. Elbows up!

And if that doesn’t work, well… there’s always that option. But I won’t say it. I can’t. Sounds familiar, right?

Obviously trump is mentally very sick. You have to be if you join killers like putin ,kim jong un and you admire hitler. He also displays behaviors like Idi amin dada,(the butcher of Uganda) he killed and tortured 300,000 people. Republican citizens and democrat citizens have the same ennemies: trump, musk, vance, johnson ( who by the way lives with his preacher? Gay?). These 4 guys are not normal , and I mean true sickness of the mind. The only reason nobody is dead yet is because they are not yet ready to declare martial law. You have a window of opportunity arm yourselves with your military , go to the white house. Arrest them. Have a coup of your own. Nobody is coming to do it for you. Irganize yourself. Because your country is being destroyed by these 4 psychopaths. Millions of you against 1% . Don,'t wait until it's too late. THEY will not hesitate to shoot you.

"The worst-case scenario for Social Security isn’t a future risk, it’s happening right now. Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, is gutting the agency in real-time.

Over 72.5 million Americans depend on Social Security for their survival, but if Trump’s team isn’t stopped, the system could collapse within months.

They’ve already started slashing the workforce. Up to 10,000 SSA employees could be forced to quit through Musk’s so-called “voluntary buyouts,” effectively shutting down local offices across the country. Former Commissioner Martin O’Malley has warned that Social Security benefits could be interrupted in just 30 to 90 days.

This is a calculated effort by Trump and his billionaire allies to dismantle Social Security as we know it so they can force privatization and leave seniors, disabled Americans, and vulnerable families at the mercy of Wall Street.

We cannot let this happen. Fortunately, this is one issue even some Republicans understand. Tell Congress: Stop Trump’s attack on Social Security before it’s too late.

Sign and Send

The Social Security Administration has never missed a payment in its history. But now, under Trump and Musk’s leadership, that legacy is at risk.

Musk and his team are deliberately sabotaging SSA’s IT systems, causing frequent outages that prevent people from accessing their benefits. If the infrastructure collapses, payments to seniors, people with disabilities, and widows could be delayed indefinitely.

Musk’s DOGE team has no experience running a government agency, yet they’ve been given unchecked power to cut staff, close offices, and block funding for modernization.

Congress has the power to stop this attack. Lawmakers must pass emergency legislation to halt the mass SSA worker buyouts, restore funding for SSA offices, and block any further moves to privatize the program.

Trump’s team is already in motion. If we don’t fight back, millions will suffer. Tell Congress: Stop Trump from destroying Social Security NOW.

This is not just another Trump stunt, this is a direct attack on one of the most successful and essential programs in American history and we must make sure Congress steps up to stop him."

Director, National Campaign for Justice)

"Telling the federal judiciary to "f*ck off".

Will Trump defy the Supreme Court?

Sorry to intrude on your inboxes for a second time today, but it’s necessary.

After a federal judge pressed the Trump administration to provide evidence by 5 pm today, about whether the White House had violated the court’s order in deporting migrants with little to no due process, so-called border czar Tom Homan said that flights would continue regardless. “We’re not stopping,” he said. “I don’t care what the judges think.”

In our system, judges don’t just “think.” They have the final say, unless their rulings are appealed to the Supreme Court, in which case the high court’s majority has the final final say.

This afternoon, it became apparent that Trump’s Justice Department shares Homan’s odd view of our judicial system. DOJ lawyers filed papers telling the judge they would not appear in court, that the administration would not provide any further information about the deportation flights, and that the court should vacate the hearing.

What’s going on here?

On Sunday night, Trump told reporters that a federal judge in California, who ordered the administration to rehire thousands of fired probationary workers, was “putting himself in the position of the president of the United States, who was elected by close to 80 million votes.”

Wrong. In our system of government, courts pass judgment on actions of a president and the executive branch. Courts don’t put themselves in the position of a president. They act as the Constitution empowers them to act — as a co-equal branch of government. If the executive branch doesn’t agree with what a lower-court judge decides, it can appeal to a higher court and ultimately to the Supreme Court.

Trump isn’t the only one to make this mistake. In early February, Trump’s vice-president JD Vance declared that “judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.” It was an odd statement from someone who has studied at one of America’s preeminent law schools — and it was logically absurd, since it’s up to judges and — if their rulings are appealed to the Supreme Court — justices to determine a president’s “legitimate power.”

Let’s be clear. Trump has openly violated numerous laws and constitutional provisions — such ending birthright citizenship; giving associates of Elon Musk’s government-slashing effort access to a sensitive Treasury Department system; transferring transgender female inmates to male prisons; placing thousands of U.S. Agency for International Development employees on leave; and effectively dismantling U.S.A.I.D. and folding it into the State Department.

In response, federal judges have temporarily barred a slew of Trump orders from taking effect.

But not until today has Trump or his regime openly and blatantly refused to follow a judge’s order.

What happens when this or another lower court ruling goes to the Supreme Court, and the high court rules against Trump?

Vance has said if this occurs, Trump should “stand before the country like Andrew Jackson did and say, ‘The chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.’”

Never mind that the quote attributed to Jackson is, as one scholar has noted, “probably apocryphal.” It’s heard more and more from Trump appointees these days, as exemplified by Homan’s remark, and this afternoon’s Justice Department filing.

Trump’s appointments in his second term are having the opposite effect of his first-term appointees. In first term, they restrained him somewhat. The Justice Department’s top brass threatened to resign en mass if he appointed as Attorney General the one assistant attorney general who was prepared to sell his soul to Trump and say the 2020 election was stolen from him.

This time, his appointees are magnifying his worst instincts. Rather than act as guardrails, they are egging Trump on.

Many people wonder if we’re in a “constitutional crisis.” Definitions of that phrase vary considerably as do opinions about whether we’re in one now.

My worry is that Trump is surrounded by extremist anti-democracy nihilists, including his vice president, who are encouraging him to defy the Supreme Court.

If and when he does, we’ll be in a constitutional crisis that should cause every American to take to the streets." (Robert Reich, March 17, 2025)......

"BREAKING from USA Today: President Donald Trump “claims Biden pardons are void, vacant and of no future force or effect,” for members of the January 6th investigative committee and Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Republicans refuse to give up their witch hunt of Dr. Anthony Fauci – the now retired 84-year old, who served as Joe Biden’s Chief Medical Officer and our nation’s top infectious disease expert, under both Republican and Democratic Presidents for decades.

Just last month SEVENTEEN GOP Attorneys General launched state-level investigations into Dr. Fauci and a GOP Senator signed FOURTEEN separate subpoenas, going after agencies he worked with, after labeling him a ‘criminal.’

This comes after Donald Trump stripped him of his security detail and is now claiming the pardon Biden gave him to try and protect him and his family from endless Republican abuse is null and void.

Let’s show Dr. Fauci we have his back! Add your name if you support and stand with Dr. Anthony Fauci against these endless attacks." (314 Action)......

Why aren’t our pension funds pulling their investments out of the U.S. markets? With rising tariffs, mounting economic uncertainties, and the growing unpredictability of the American financial landscape, one would think that major Canadian pension plans—and funds from other countries with substantial investments in U.S. stocks—would reconsider their exposure to these risks. After all, what’s stopping them from repatriating these funds and focusing on domestic or alternative markets that might be more stable in the long term? Shouldn’t we have more of a say in where our retirement savings are being placed? These are critical questions that deserve a more transparent conversation.

Interviews with MP Angus are among my favorite, and I needed that today! But after I watched another MTN video (I watch on youtube) where there were some clips from fox news I got up to do a chore and my thought was they are a bunch of scary people but "WE" have more viewers than they do. To me one of the brightest parts of my thought is that I immediately thought WE....not MTN. We are a very connected, committed group and I am so proud to belong to this group! And we are growing every day. I don't think fox is getting any new viewers, and if so probably not many international ones.

We’ve been waiting for this moment for three years. Putin needs peace, and he needs it fast. The West has many levers to secure a just peace for Ukraine — if the U.S. and the EU act together. The kind of peace Ukraine can achieve with Western support will determine whether this is truly the end of the war or merely a pause for Putin to regain strength and launch an even more devastating conflict.

Pressure from business elites and the economic wing of the government, skyrocketing prices, and a manpower shortage at the front—right now, a united West has the opportunity to apply maximum pressure on Putin and secure real security guarantees for Ukraine. But this will only be possible if the West stops fighting among itself and instead starts a real fight against the anti-Western coalition and its rogue enforcer—the Putin regime. Weakening the Kremlin = weakening China, Iran, and North Korea = greater stability and peace in different parts of the world.

It won’t be full justice—Putin will still declare victory, retaining control over some annexed territories. But it will be a peace that can stop wars for many years. Follow my page for full reports and articles here https://substack.com/home/post/p-158800832
