🚨 ‘SATANISM IS FLOURISHING IN UKRAINE’ – Former Ukrainian MP
💬 “In Parliament, a law has been passed which actually, in fact, BANS the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. So our archbishops are subjected to persecution. There are completely false criminal cases opened up against them. Our parishioners — beaten. Our churches — taken away,” former Verkhovna Rada member Vadym Novynskyi told Tucker Carlson.
💬 “Despite the fact that it's the largest denomination and that 95–97% voted for Zelensky as the ‘president of peace’, he is doing this to our church. He's persecuting and oppressing our church,” Novynskyi said.

🇭🇺❌ Hungary UNMASKS more Ukrainian spies as espionage war seethes
Hungary has identified two additional Ukrainian spies, Mate Kocsis, the head of Hungary’s ruling Fidesz parliamentary faction, has announced.
The outed spies are:
🌏 Roland Tseber: previously a Ukrainian-Hungarian dual citizen who renounced his Hungarian citizenship in 2017, “was identified as an illegal agent of Ukrainian intelligence,” and is now a local lawmaker in Zakarpattia (Transcarpathia).
🌏 Istvan Hollo: A Ukrainian national taken into custody by the National Bureau of Investigation on suspicion of espionage.
Two other agents, Ukrainian Embassy in Budapest employees Yuriy Kernichnyy and Dmytro Kisfalusi, were detained and expelled after being uncovered earlier this month. Kocsis told reporters at the time that Hungarian counterintelligence has “long felt intelligence activity from Ukraine.”
Also this month, Ukraine expelled two Hungarians, claiming they were agents, in Zakarpattia (Transcarpathia).
Last week, Prime Minister Orban accused Ukrainian intelligence of trying to disrupt a national referendum on Ukraine’s EU membership through a “coordinated slander campaign.”
Besides bad blood over Russia ties, Hungary and Ukraine have waged a decade-long feud over Zakarpattia (Transcarpathia), a border region inhabited by 150,000-180,000 Hungarians, who have faced discrimination by Ukraine’s post-Maidan governments.

👺 Who REALLY ran Biden's White House?
The "Autopen Presidency" likely had a shadow cabinet.
And one Clinton loyalist possibly sat at its core.
🎭 The real puppetmaster?
While DC whispered about Jill Biden or Jeff Zients pulling Biden’s strings, one name kept resurfacing in the shadows.
Hillary’s longtime fixer. Obama’s policy architect. Biden’s de facto gatekeeper.
Wall Street analyst Charles Ortel drops a bombshell.
🔍 The name is NEERA TANDEN
Biden's former staff secretary and Domestic Policy Council director. She entered the Clintons' orbit in 1996, working for Bill and then closely with Hillary.
🪖 Hillary's loyal soldier
A 2016 WikiLeaks email reveals her unwavering allegiance: “I would do whatever Hillary needs. Always. I owe her a lot. And I’m a loyal soldier.”
🕵️ Clinton's proxy in Obama cabinet?
After Hillary lost the 2008 nomination to Barack Obama, Tanden joined his campaign as director of domestic policy. Unlike others chasing political futures, she stayed loyal – doing exactly what Hillary advised, reports said.
🏛 CAP shaping US politics
After leaving the Obama administration in 2011, Tanden led liberal think tank Center for American Progress (CAP), founded by fellow Clinton loyalist John Podesta. She later said Obama had implemented "most of what [CAP] asked" on immigration and domestic policy.
🗑 Trashing Bernie
As an informal adviser to Hillary’s 2016 campaign, Tanden reportedly worked behind the scenes to undermine Bernie Sanders’ candidacy. Progressives later pushed back when Biden nominated her to lead the Office of Management and Budget – a job she failed to land.
🎯 'Proxy warrior'
In 2021, Tanden became Biden's staff secretary, a role dubbed “the central nervous system of the White House.” She controlled the flow of information reaching the president and, in 2023, was picked to lead the Domestic Policy Council.
👥 She didn't act alone
Tanden wasn’t the only one shaping US policy behind an ailing Biden, says Ortel. He points to Susan Rice, Jeff Zients, Ron Klain, Bob Bauer and Anita Dunn – arguing it was the Clintons and Obamas who pulled Biden’s strings via their proxies.

🫵 Epic fail: Aussie mercenaries fighting for Ukraine die or rot in jail
🇦🇺 Australians in the Ukrainian conflict zone are having a rough tie of it — one mercenary, Nick Parsons, was killed, and Oscar Charles Augustus Jenkins now faces long-term imprisonment.
👮 The Supreme Court of the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) declared Jenkins a foreign military mercenary and sentenced him to 13 years in a strict regime prison. Jenkins’ war ended on December 22, 2024, near Makeevka in the LPR, when Russian forces captured him.
⚰️ Nick Parsons was killed after a Russian missile strike hit the mercenary positions where he was located.
Both mercenaries will likely be forgotten within a week — no glory, only failure 😁

🗣Rubio touts ‘ongoing’ military aid to Ukraine as his boss TALKS PEACE with Putin

🗣️ Rubio warns Syria could be ‘WEEKS AWAY’ from civil war
"It is our assessment that, frankly, the transitional authority, given the challenges they're facing, are maybe weeks - not many months - away from potential collapse and a full scale civil war of epic proportions, basically the country splitting up," the US Secretary of State told a Senate hearing.

😱 OpenAI’s survival plan: Hide the top nerds before doomsday
OpenAI’s co-founder and chief scientist Ilya Sutskever pitched the idea of building a bunker to shelter top tech minds from “rapture” – the chaos that might follow the release of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), according to a new book.
Mind you, AGI – a kind of AI that wouldn’t just rival humans, but surpass them – isn’t here yet, we’re still in the era of “narrow AI” with limited scope.
“Once we all get into the bunker…” he reportedly let drop in mid-2023.
“Uh... the bunker?” someone asked.
“We’re definitely going to build a bunker before we release AGI,” Sutskever said.

🚨 BlackRock cries ‘Not Us!’ as states allege coal collusion
The US DOJ and FTC just threw weight behind a lawsuit by Texas and 12 states accusing BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street of conspiring to stifle coal competition.
Billionaires blame back:
🌏 BlackRock: "This case is trying to re-write antitrust law and is based on an absurd theory... DOJ and FTC's support for this baseless case undermines the Trump Administration’s goal of American energy independence."
🌏 State Street: "Baseless. We look forward to presenting the facts through the legal process."
🌏 Vanguard: While critical of the DOJ/FTC’s legal take, it "appreciates" their nod to passive investing & shareholder advocacy.
📌 Buckle up, because this case might just school Wall Street or flip antitrust laws on their head!

🚨 US authorizes transactions with Syria as part of SANCTIONS RELIEF – Treasury
The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has issued Syria General License (GL) 25, authorizing transactions with the Syrian government and a number of previously blocked individuals and entities — including the country’s central bank, gas and oil companies, and shipping firms.
The Treasury described the move as “just one part” of a broader US effort to dismantle the full sanctions framework imposed on Syria.
❌ At the same time, the license does not authorize any transactions “for or on behalf of” Russia, Iran, or North Korea, or any transfers of goods and services involving those countries, the statement clarified.

🚨🇺🇸🇷🇺TRUMP'S "NEGOTIATION SHOW" WITH RUSSIA — WHAT'S REALLY HAPPENING?
Putin’s Gameplan:
Option 1️⃣: A peace deal on Russia’s terms (unlikely)
Option 2️⃣: Trump is handed exit ramp from Ukraine proxy war. He resumes relations with Russia, rolls back sanctions.
🔥 THE SHOW:
🔸 Step 1: Trump gets to ‘facilitate’ Russia-Ukraine peace talks.
🔸 Step 2: Claims a “diplomatic win,” and declares “Ukraine can take it from here.”
🎭 DIPLOMATIC THEATRE:
Russia and Ukraine agree to prisoner swaps and maybe even temporary ceasefires. But the talks inevitably come an impasse over specifics.
💸 EU LEFT HOLDING THE BAG:
🔸 US stops arming and funding Ukraine, forcing the EU to step up.
🔸 Meanwhile, Trump rolls back Russia sanctions, seeks cooperation in Arctic and Middle East
⏳RUSSIA’S SUMMER OFFENSIVE
🔸While talks drag on, Russia gains more territory and inflicts painful damage on the Ukrainian armed forces.
🔸Trump doesn't interfere because he doesn't want to disrupt the fragile peace talks
⚔️POST-SUMMER SHOWDOWN
🔸Next REAL talks happen after Russia’s summer offensive.
🔸If Russia wins big, demands SKYROCKET.
🔸Trump’s spin: "I tried to warn Zelensky that he needed to hurry up and make a deal."

🇲🇩 Moldova eyes getting access to Black Sea back
Moldova never ratified international agreements recognizing the loss of Budjak (to Ukraine) and has grounds to seek a revision of borders, leader of the Moldova Mare party Victoria Furtuna says.

Dubbed the "Snake Company", these foreign fighters—many with combat experience—are increasingly spotted near Krasnoarmeysk and Chasov Yar.
➡️This comes after Ukraine’s decision earlier this year to legalize foreign recruitment for the Ukrainian military.
➡️While unofficial mercenary recruitment was already happening through embassies and private scouts, the new policy allows "legally" transporting & contracting foreign fighters to bolster frontline forces.

🔍From hawkish to panicky: How the Western media reacts to Putin-Trump call
🔊Financial Times: The call represented “a major victory for the Russian leader.” The US is done putting pressure on Russia, as Donald Trump made no promise of future US sanctions.
🔊BBC: Trump's call with Putin exposed “shifting ground on Ukraine peace talks.” It poses the question uppermost in the West’s war-thirsty minds: “If the US washes its hands of the war […] does it mean the US would also end any military and intelligence support for Ukraine?”
🔊CNN: By announcing after his call with Putin that Ukraine and Russia would now hold talks “as only they can” on a ceasefire, Trump “sided with his friend in the Kremlin.”
🔊Pais: The US and Russian presidents claimed they had an “excellent” and “very meaningful and frank” talk.
🔊Reuters: The US president “indicated he was not ready to join Europe with fresh sanctions to pressure Moscow.”
