No Excuse For Forever Wars

Why are the leftists so angry about President Donald Trump’s lightning-fast raid, capturing Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela? Perhaps because it signals an end to forever wars. These are the wars that lead to prolonged bloodshed, the loss of lives of American soldiers and endless corruption and kickbacks for political hacks.

Trump proved the military can not only win, but so so in a way that doesn’t provoke prolonged violence.

Liz Wheeler touches on this phenomenon in her fist show after a two-week Christmas vacation. Also addressed: Erika Kirk, Egyptian planes and the latest news in the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein scandal. She is joined by Jason Buttrill, chief researcher for The Blaze TV. Buttrill served as a U.S. Marine and was an intelligence analyst for the U.S. Department of Defense.

Havana Syndrome: Cuban, Not?

Over the last year, whistleblowers from the CIA, State Department and defense experts came forward to our team to expose the false narrative that these attacks began in 2016 with a cluster of cases in Cuba. The debilitating neurological symptoms are commonly known as Havana Syndrome.

Havana Syndrome survivors allege a government cover-up to minimize the severity of their brain injuries and the cause of the attacks.

In a new, exclusive interview, a former Defense Department staffer says she was hit with a directed energy weapon in 2015. Here’s more from Catherine Herridge in a new Straight To The Point video from the Los Angles Times Studios.

 

Ukraine Trying To Snag Nukes?

Is the political assassination of Charlie Kirk tied to a bid by the Ukraine to snag decommissioned American nuclear weapons?  Citizen journalist George Webb is exploring that possibility, focusing on the 73 flights taken by Egyptian military planes to track Erika Kirk.

We now know, through Candace Owens’ investigations, that this Egyptian plane traveling through Wilmington, Delaware, has been transporting French Foreign Legion soldiers carrying diplomatic immunity. Their stops have included Utah — the hub of America’s nuclear industry — as well as Minot, North Dakota. Minot is the home of America’s nuclear armed intercontinental ballistic missiles.

Are the French behind efforts to secure decommissioned nuclear weapons for Ukraine and prolong the Ukraine War against Russia? Is Great Britain also involved?

Why would the planes follow Erika Kirk? Perhaps this has something to do with her family. Her father, Kent Frantzve, has ties to the Arizona defense consulting firm AzTech International. Inc.

That company is a subcontractor to the Department of Defense. Its primary mission involves providing technical support to the RTX Corporation, formerly known as the Raytheon Company. Raytheon is the world’s largest producer of guided missiles, and the third largest American defense contractor.

Caribbean Skirmishes Intensify

Washington keeps ramping up military action against Venezuela, mostly taking action to blow up fishing boats while claiming the boats are being used for drug running. Is there any truth at all in the U.S. government’s claims? Or Is Pete Hegseth just fishing around for an excuse to provoke a war?

Does Venezuela’s Cartel de los Soles (Cartel of the Sun) even exist? What about the CIA’s drug running? Are we attacking out own boats? How do we now what’s what and where?

Here, Lt. Col. Daniel  Davis, the host of the Daniel Davis Deep Dive, tries to make some sense out of the U.S. Department of Defense and State Department doing their saber rattling. Davis appears on Redacted News with Natali and Clayton Morris.

China Curbs Rare Earth Exports

Ahead of the Xi–Trump summit, Beijing announced sweeping new export curbs on rare earths, lithium-ion batteries, graphite, and synthetic diamonds — a move that could reshape global supply chains and expose America’s most dangerous weakness: its military’s dependence on Chinese minerals. For decades, China has built a near-monopoly over the rare earth mining and refining industry, producing over 70% of the world’s supply and holding almost half of global reserves.

While the U.S. scaled back mining in the 1980s, China ramped up — flooding the market with cheap production and driving competitors out. Now, Beijing controls over 90% of global refining capacity, giving it unmatched leverage over industries from EVs to advanced weaponry. A new report exposes just how deep this vulnerability runs. 77% of U.S. Department of Defense platforms rely on Chinese-sourced rare earths — including 91% of Navy, 85% of Air Force, and 70% of Army weapons systems.

The F-35 fighter jet alone uses 900 pounds of these critical materials. If China tightens exports, America’s military-industrial complex could face crippling delays. This isn’t just a trade dispute — it’s a battle for technological dominance and national security. China’s export restrictions on gallium, germanium, tungsten, and now rare earths, are part of a broader strategy to remind Washington that it still controls the minerals that make modern warfare possible. As the world enters a new era of great power competition, the question isn’t whether China can weaponize its mineral dominance — it’s whether the United States can survive without it. Here’s more from World Affairs In Context.

(EDITOR’S NOTE: This is undoubtedly the chief reason behind President Donald Trump’s vow on Friday to raise tariffs on all Chinese imports by 100 percent. There are other reasons for his anger. U.S. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, for instance, told one interviewer last week that China had bankrolled the Armed Queers of Salt Lake City. Investigator George Webb says the Armed Queers of Salt Lake City worked with Tyler Robinson to pull off the assassination of Charlie Kirk.  Webb says Armed Queers leader Ermiya Fanaeian drove Robinson’s gray Dodge Challenger getaway vehicle. It’s also believed, although yet to be ascertained, that the Armed Queers trainer was a second assassin involved in the September 10 killing.)  

Robinson: A Ukraine Sniper?

Tyler Robinson, the 22-tear-old facing charges of killing Charlie Kirk, has secretly been serving in Ukraine as part of a mercenary sniper program for the past two years. That’s the word from veteran investigative reporter George Webb, who brings the receipts over the course of a two-hour broadcast on Sunday.

Webb says Robinson was recruited into the program by his uncle, Michael Robinson of Cincinnati, Ohio. The lure was a windfall of dough-ray-mi!

The sideshow surrounding Tyler Robinson and his would-be transgender boyfriend Lance Triggs is but a large distraction, Webb maintains. All along, the U.S. Department of Defense has sought to keep the mercenary program under wraps and out of the public’s view. It’s known as the Spirit of America.

Both of the assassins — Thomas Crooks and Ryan Wesley Routh  — who tried to kill President Donald Trump last year had ties to the same program, Webb asserts, although he’s hard-pressed in the case of Crooks to demonstrate that.

The snipers are informally known as Cheney’s Snipers after former Vice President Dick Cheney. The Democrats have also been behind them — Barack Obama working through David Petraeus. Webb says the uncle who recruited Tyler Robinson also had involvement with Ukraine through the anthrax bioweapons program.

Epstein: Open Spigot For Israel?

Why do the Democrats and Republicans both seem to want to put a lid on the release of genuine information on Jeffrey Epstein? How many of the big politicians have been blackmailed? How many have been trapped in Epstein’s sexual entanglements?

Most of all, whose money was Epstein laundering? Was it CIA money or funds stolen from the American taxpayers through the Department of Defense or other federal agencies? Are we talking several billion dollars, or even trillions of dollars?

And who got the stolen funds? Were they going to Israel? To Mossad? Or to Mars?

Here, Catherine Austin Fitts talks about the money laundering angle with Stephen Gardner. The clip has been revived by Jimmy Dore and Kurt Metzger, who react on “The Jimmy Dore Show.”

Grok 4: Cusp Of A Revolution?

ELon Musk says we are now in a new era of Big Bang Intelligence. Grok 4, the new Musk venture into artificial intelligence, will be inventing new useful technologies by the end of the year.

Is this a great time to be alive, or are we on the cusp of a truly dystopic era? Here’s more from Mr. Reagan.

Elon Musk’s Grok AI just dropped new “companions” and one of them is a spicy anime girl named Ani.

Of course, the media HATES this. And they hate that they just closed a deal with the Department of Defense on the same day. Here’s more from Clownfish TV.

Planning A Revolution?

Glenn Beck reviews a potentially terrifying story: Some former USAID workers, who were fired under Trump, may be planning to use their color revolution tactics to “undermine Trump’s power” and plot regime change.

Also, former Department of Defense intelligence analyst Jason Buttrill joins to discuss how the ambush at a Texas ICE detention facility looked eerily similar to what he saw while fighting in Afghanistan. Here’s more from Blaze TV.

DUMBs Span Entire Nation

How many deep underground military bases, so-called DUMBs, exist across the United States? Catherine Austin Fitts, the publisher of The Solari Report, estimates there are close to 170 of these bases. Some dot the interior of the country, while others open up — underground — to the oceans.

Why did the U.S. government create these sites? Fitts believes fears regarding continuity of government played a role, but also the federal government wanted secretive sites where scientific and technical research could be done, outside the view of prying eyes.

Between 1998 and 2015, the U.S. Department of Defense spent some 20 trillion dollars that was never accounted for. Fitz believes a healthy chunk of the missing money went into black budget projects, such as these DUMBs. Here, she goes one-on-one with Greg Hunter on USAWatchdog.com.
