The modern evolution of technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), has set the stage for a profound and unprecedented global struggle for human freedom. As AI becomes an integral part of every aspect of modern life, from the most mundane to the most intimate, the concept of individual freedom is being tested in ways we never thought possible. 

From surveillance mind-control technologies that monitor every move to recommendation algorithms that shape beliefs and behaviors, AI is quietly rewriting the rules of society. These social movements spawned by AI are not confined to a specific region but guide a whole subset of global society. While the promises of convenience, speed, and ease are alluring, these so-called advancements come at a significant cost: the end of privacy, the indoctrination of thought, and, ultimately, the loss of human agency and dignity.

Yesterday Trump began the task of his first term–the normalization of relations with Russia–which was blocked by the corrupt FBI’s “Russiagate” hoax, an act of treason for which executions should take place and, indeed, the utterly corrupt agency abolished.

The United States, to the chagrin of USAID-supported CNN, voted with Russia against a UN General Assembly revolution condemning Russia’s “invasion” of Ukraine.

CNN true to its reputation as the worst liar on earth found it “shocking” that the US aligned with Russia against the “free world” and aligned with “the aggressor in the war on the three-year anniversary of Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.” https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/24/politics/us-joins-russia-ukraine-un-vote/index.html

It seems that CNN is going to continue lying for the military/security complex even after CNN’s funding courtesy of the US taxpayers has been halted.

The 1775−1783 American War of Independence

The American Revolution or the American War of Independence against British colonial lordship started in 1775 when the Thirteen Colonies began to fight for their political independence from London. In fact, fighting began at Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts, in April 1775. In June the colonies’ Continental Congress created a Continental Army under General George Washington. However, despite several defeats, and the loss of New York (former New Amsterdam) in September 1776, Washington hung on, and at Christmas 1776, with the successful crossing of the Delaware, won several battles. The campaign culminated in Saratoga in 1777. The final triumph was only assured, nevertheless, with the signing of a Franco-American alliance in 1778 that was joined by Spain in 1779. Reinforced by French troops followed by direct naval support, George Washington succeeded in forcing the British troops to surrender at Yorktown on October 19th, 1781. The resulting Treaty of Versailles in 1783 recognized the Great Lakes in the north and the Mississippi in the west as the state borders of the newly-born USA. In other words, by 1783 the original Thirteen Colonies had decisively established themselves as the new United States with enlarged territory up to the Mississippi River including Indian Reserve.

The Israeli-Palestinian war is arguably one of the most complex and divisive subjects in international politics. Of particular concern over the last few years is the disturbing trend of observing periods of high violence, like the wars in Gaza, with an expectancy of a complete lack of criticism of the Israeli government's policies and military actions that is genocide. Such narratives, primitive political maneuvers were well established by the Israeli government and its military and have also been adopted by many sympathetic mainstream media to justify censorship, evade blame, and journalistically dismantle Israel's genocide.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem revealed she has caught “some” of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials who were leaking details of raids on criminal illegal aliens. Criminal illegal alien gangs have been able to escape deportation after getting tips from ICE insiders about DHS’s planned deportation efforts. However, during an interview on Fox News’s “Hannity,” Noem revealed that she has “found some leakers.” Noem told anchor Sean Hannity that the leakers “will be fired.”

A male predator arrested on multiple charges for exposing himself to women and children has defended his crimes by citing his alleged “civil rights as a transgender person.” 58-year-old Richard Cox, a man who claims to be a “transgender woman,” told police that his “civil rights” allowed him to expose himself sexually to women and children in two different female locker rooms. Cox told investors that his sexual crimes are protected acts because his “civil rights” allow him to use bathrooms that correspond with his “gender identity.”

The Russian president believes his US counterpart is in a “unique position” to act openly and directly. US President Donald Trump has said Russian President Vladimir Putin treated him with “great respect” during their phone call earlier this month. According to Trump, Putin expressed a clear desire to end the Ukraine conflict and normalize relations between Washington and Moscow. Contacts between the two nations, largely nonexistent for years, have intensified since Trump was inaugurated on January 20. A phone call between Trump and Putin on February 12 was followed by high-level Russia-US talks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, last week. Putin described the discussions as “the first step” toward normalizing relations, a view Trump echoed on Monday.

An official trip will be possible once the Ukraine conflict is “settled,” according to the US president. US President Donald Trump has expressed openness to visiting Russia, contingent on progress in peace negotiations to end the Ukraine conflict. Trump made the statement during a joint press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron in Washington on Monday. When asked by a reporter about his plans to visit Moscow, Trump responded: “If all this gets settled down, which I think it will, sure, I would go there, and he’d come here too,” seemingly referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin potentially visiting the US.

The UK prime minister is mulling sending troops to Ukraine – but his ignored and alienated citizens won’t follow. Following the Munich Security Conference last week, European Union leaders appeared shell-shocked by US Vice President J.D. Vance’s scathing attack on Europe. He criticized the continent for multiple reasons, including the lack of free speech, arrests of European citizens for inflammatory social media posts, insufficient commitment to security, and destabilization due to both legal and illegal migration. Although Vance seemed to address Western European politicians and officials, it is likely he was speaking over their heads, directly to the public. His words resonated with widespread discontent about politics and politicians across the region, aligning with the prevailing sense of unfairness felt by many ordinary citizens.

Canadian authorities have added 76 individuals and legal entities to sanctions lists against Russia, according to a statement on the website of by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. "To maintain pressure on Russia, Prime Minister Trudeau announced new sanctions targeting 76 individuals and entities," the statement says. "The Prime Minister also announced that Canada is taking action against Russia’s shadow fleet by sanctioning 109 vessels based on their involvement in the transfer of sanctioned goods, including hydrocarbons," the document says.

Russian forces struck Ukrainian military airfields by precision weapons over the past day in the special military operation in Ukraine, Russia’s Defense Ministry reported on Tuesday. "The Russian Armed Forces delivered a strike by air-launched high-precision weapons and unmanned aerial vehicles on the infrastructure of Ukrainian military airfields. The goals of the strike were achieved," the ministry said in a statement. Russia’s Battlegroup North inflicts 35 casualties on Ukrainian army in Kharkov Region

If foreign policy is human, then the war in Ukraine killed the prodigal child of Biden and many European leaders. If foreign policy is human, then the war in Ukraine killed the prodigal child of Biden and many European leaders, leaving them bereaved. Proof of death occurred when the 2023 Ukrainian summer counter-offensive failed. Eighteen months on, Zelensky and European leaders remain unable to break out of the cycle of grief. Trump has unwittingly become their therapist. Loss is devastating. I lost my mum to cancer in 2008, and it was the worst day of my life. Hundreds of thousands of people in Russia and Ukraine have had to confront a premature reckoning with grief of much younger relatives, and in many unforgivable cases, children, in the teeth of this pointless war.

These moves signal not only a major change in geopolitical strategy but perhaps even a fundamental tossup of the post-WWII world order. Perhaps in an attempt to have their cake and eat it too, the post-WWII vestige of the European Union issued its own mineral deal to Ukraine following Trump's original mineral deal. The move may be seen as an attempt to undermine the actions of the U.S. in its attempt to bring the war to an end. On Tuesday it was reported that the United States sided with Russia twice at the United Nations on resolutions related to Ukraine. The first vote the U.S. sided with Russia with was a Western European-drafted resolution condemning Russia for its Special Military Operation in Ukraine and support for Ukraine keeping its territory the country had lost to Russia during the war. The U.S. did not vote to condemn Russia’s actions nor support Ukrainian ‘territorial integrity’. The second resolution the U.S. voted for was one it had drafted itself. It was made at the U.N. Security Council and called for an end to the Ukraine war while containing no criticism of Russia. That resolution passed the Security Council despite lacking support from the U.K. and France, which abstained after their attempts to amend the wording were vetoed.

U.S. District Court Judge Trevor McFadden has rejected an Associated Press (AP) emergency motion to restore their access to the White House press briefing room and Air Force One. Following the ruling, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt declared, “The winning continues.” The AP has been barred from White House and Air Force One access for nearly two weeks after the corporate media outlet refused to update its style guide to reflect President Donald J. Trump‘s order renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Notably, major tech companies that provide map and direction apps, like Apple and Google, have made the change. The AP remains an outlier in refusing to make the name change even among their corporate media colleagues.

A coalition of seasoned military contractors, spearheaded by former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince and ex-Blackwater COO Bill Mathews, has presented the Trump White House with a plan to deliver mass deportations. The proposal, outlined in a comprehensive 26-page document delivered to President Donald J. Trump’s team before his inauguration, promises to deport 12 million illegal aliens by the 2026 midterms using “processing camps” on military bases, a fleet of 100 private planes, and a citizen-led “small army” empowered to apprehend violators, at a projected cost of $25 billion. The plan, seen by POLITICO and marked “unsolicited,” says deporting 12 million people within two years “would require the government to eject nearly 500,000 illegal aliens per month,” necessitating a “600 percent increase in activity.”

During the era of tyrannical enforcement of the COVID-19 shot mandate by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), a few hundred medical exemptions were processed, but strangely, nearly 2,000 religious exemptions were not. Sonny Fleeman, a combat veteran and federal whistleblower, once considered his role at the Department of Veterans Affairs to be “a sacred extension of his service” that helped secure benefits for fellow veterans. But after discovering that he and other employees were targeted for their faith-based rights, the claims rater is now beginning to question his calling.

Algorithms created by the United States Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), have finally achieved what they are calling "God Mode" access to every Executive Branch Agency spending system. | Algorithms are now inside all the Executive Branch systems actively tracing ALL transactions, cataloging all the requisite information, and creating output files for Executive (Presidential) Review. No expenditure of money can be hidden by vast networks of "pass-throughs" as was possible for the past fifty years. No bank account destinations can be shielded anymore. All the secrets about government money spending will be reviewed and, if the President chooses, revealed publicly, continued, or stopped. The masks used to hide what was going on, have now ALL been penetrated by this level of access.

The Associated Press (AP) has LOST a lawsuit against President Trump and other officials in the White House after AP was kicked out for refusing to refer to the Gulf of America. | AP insisted they would continue to call it the Gulf of Mexico because no international organization had agreed to rename the Gulf. The White House informed AP that if they did not obey President Trump's Executive Order, they would lose access to the White House and to the President. AP refused and was denied access. AP sued claiming the White House was violating their First Amendment-protected rights to freedom of speech and freedom of the Press. Today, a federal judge sided with the President and the White House, ruling media outlets aren’t entitled to special privileges.

Trump firing much of our top military leadership overnight is wrong. I’ll speak out against this but I need you to join me. I want all of us, especially our veterans, to call this what it is — politicizing our military. This is dangerous behavior by a President. pic.twitter.com/4nCemYEpw1

The clip reveals new information that will absolutely destroy the Democrats and fake news legacy media. Enrique Tarrio describes how these deceitful democrats pressured him to lie in order to get President Trump. To his credit, Enrique refused to play a part in their scheme so they sentenced him to 22 years in prison by kangaroo court.

"you say what’s on this paper, right? Which was me blaming the president, and you don’t have to serve a single day in prison anymore after your bail hearing, They wanted me to throw the president on their bus, and when I told them no, that’s why they gave me 22 years, which is pretty much a life sentence." thegatewaypundit.com

Dan Crenshaw is a corrupt politician who wants to continue bleeding the American people of hundreds of billions of dollars for an unjust war. Certainly this money would be much better spent on millions of homeless hungry Americans and those people who have lost their homes in natural disasters. Its this kind of insane spending of billions of dollars on the globalist agenda that's behind the huge national debt, a devalued dollar, and rampant inflation. Rhinos like Dan Crenshaw are as bad or worse then the democrats. Clip of Crenshaw threatening Tuckers life.
