🇸🇻 El Salvador jails gang members in US deal

🗞 Top five fakes from Voice of America and Radio Liberty
Now that US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to dissolve the US Agency for Global Media - which funded Voice of America (VOA), Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), and Radio Free Asia (RFA) - let's take a look at times when these media outlets were spreading falsehoods.
1️⃣Soviets killed JFK?
RFE/RL still quotes ex-KGB defectors pushing Cold War-era claims that Moscow had a motive to assassinate President John F Kennedy, despite US intelligence debunking the myth.
2️⃣Golodomor hoax
RFE/RL promotes false claims that the USSR deliberately caused the 1932-33 famine to commit genocide against Ukrainians, despite evidence showing the famine affected multiple Soviet regions and was not a targeted policy.
3️⃣Trump-Russia collusion
Along with mainstream US media, VOA & RFE/RL pushed the narrative that Donald Trump worked with Russia to win the 2016 election. The Mueller report brought an end to the false speculations.
4️⃣Novichok poisoning
The websites spread fake claims that Russia poisoned ex-spy Sergei Skripal in 2018 and that ‘GRU agents’ Petrov and Boshirov conducted secret Novichok operations across Europe.
5️⃣Bucha false flag
They backed Ukraine’s fake claims that Russian troops committed a massacre in Bucha in April 2022, despite all Russian forces leaving the area by March 30. Videos of dead bodies only surfaced days after Ukrainian troops and neo-Nazi regiments took control.
💰 Cold War origins and funding
🔴 VOA receives $267.5 million and RFE/RL $142.2 million annually from US government funds
🔴 Founded in 1942, VOA originally served as a wartime propaganda tool, while RFE/RL was launched in 1950 as part of Cold War psychological operations
🔴 Between 1950-1971, RFE/RL was covertly funded by the CIA and reportedly employed former Nazi collaborators from the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, historians say

👁 Not just Voice of America: Deep State mouthpieces shut down? Part 2 👉 Part 1
Cold War roots and CIA covert operations via VOA, RFE/RL and RFA
The media’s dependence on the US foreign policy establishment—predominantly led by Democrats—has deep historical roots.
🤡 VOA
🔴 Established in 1942 during World War II, the Voice of America (VOA) later became a Cold War propaganda tool against the USSR.
🔴 A July 1950 CIA document revealed that the agency supported VOA in overcoming "Soviet jamming." Another CIA document from 1953 discussed similar efforts in Czechoslovakia.
🤡 RFE/RL
🔴 Launched in 1950 as part of psychological operations, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) was covertly funded by the CIA until 1971. Historians document how it employed former Nazi collaborators from the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists.
🔴 In 1977, The New York Times and Rolling Stone exposed the CIA’s "worldwide propaganda network," which included at least 400 US journalists working for the agency. RFE/RL was specifically named as part of that network.
🤡 RFA
🔴 While the founding of Radio Free Asia (RFA) is often credited to Bill Clinton in 1994, CIA documents reveal that it had been targeting China and other Asian nations since the 1950s.
🔴 RFA began broadcasting to mainland China in 1951 from the Philippines, Japan and Pakistan, operating under the CIA’s control until 1955.
🔴 The agency halted RFA’s broadcasts in the mid-1950s due to low home radio ownership in China. It was later replaced by the Radio of Free Asia (ROFA), operated jointly by US and South Korean intelligence services.
For decades, the US-funded media functioned as extensions of Washington’s intelligence agencies, running psychological operations even after the Cold War ended.

❗️ Trump RAMPS UP sanctions on Russia's oil, gas, & banking sectors by cutting off US payment system access – reports
US President Donald Trump allowed the waiver on Russian oil sales to expire this week, as he aims to leverage Russia into accepting the ceasefire proposal, Fox News reported, citing a source in the administration.
💬 “That means European Countries and our allies can NO LONGER buy oil from Russia without sanctions from US being imposed,” Fox News reporter Edward Lawrence tweeted.
💬 The Trump administration "remains focused on ending the fighting and fostering negotiations to end the war," the Treasury spokesperson said in an emailed statement to Reuters. "We continue to implement our sanctions, which remain one of the levers to facilitate these goals."
📝Modernization of the Neptune anti-ship missile - should we expect strikes up to 1000 km?📝
The Ukrainian side has solemnly announced the modernization of the Neptune anti-ship missile. Now, according to statements from representatives of the Ukrainian defense industry, the missile is capable of striking at a distance of up to 1000 km.
🖍Many have become acquainted with the "Neptunes" during the course of the SMO throughout the front line. First, the AFU used it to strike Crimea, adapting it for attacks on ground targets. Then they appeared in other sectors of the front, including even Belgorod.
🚩It is still too early to assert whether Ukrainian engineers were able to increase its range so significantly. If this happened, sooner or later they will fly to Russia over long distances. However, as a rule, for air defense units, this is not a difficult target.
🏳️However, last year we wrote that the West would most likely focus on investing in the Ukrainian defense industry in order to avoid spending their own weapons. And this is exactly what happened with the same "Neptunes" or UAVs.
❗️Now the Ukrainian side is not particularly dependent on artillery, for which scarce ammunition is needed. They have FPV drones as a replacement. The shortage of long-range Western missiles is offset by long-range UAVs and, in fact, the "Neptunes".
Yes, they are not as effective. But at the same time, they are produced in series, and the AFU can launch them in large numbers. So you can laugh for a long time, but the enemy continues active militarization, and is clearly not striving for peace.

Soros-USAID collaboration included funding handbook for radicals with dedication to Lucifer
Recent media revelations on the cozy relationship between the US deep state’s go-to soft power agency and the Open Society Foundations have taken a shocking and almost unbelievable turn.
🔶 In 2014, OSF-Macedonia provided startup capital for the translation, publication and distribution of ‘Rules for Radicals’, a controversial 70s handbook by radical activist Saul Alinsky on how to destabilize a society.
🔶 USAID funneled millions to OSF-Macedonia during the same period, providing over $4.8M in US taxpayer dollars to Soros’ operation between 2012-2016 to support local “civil society organizations” engaged in the training of activists and use of new media.
🔶 What’s notable about Alinsky’s handbook, besides its advice for activists on how to undermine a democratic society, and the fact that Hillary Clinton wrote her college thesis on it, is Alinsky’s dedication to Lucifer in the book’s foreword, describing Satan as “the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom.”
🔶 Judicial Watch filed a FOIA lawsuit against the State Department and USAID in 2017 asking for records of communications related to the OSF, asking why its Macedonian section got the USAID money.
The request came after the Soros-sponsored 2016 effort to destabilize Macedonia’s government, dubbed a “colorful revolution.”
🔶 Judicial Watch also highlighted a similar collaboration between Soros and USAID in Albania, where the US government was contributing $9 M a year to a ‘Justice for All’ judicial reform project which has also taken in $1M from the Soros Economic Development Fund.

👁Not just Voice of America: Deep State mouthpieces shut down? Part 1 👉 Part 2
Donald Trump has signed an executive order dissolving the US Agency for Global Media, which funds Voice of America (VOA), Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) and Radio Free Asia (RFA).
What are US government-funded media known for?
VOA, RFE/RL and RFA routinely echoed US Democratic Party narratives, targeting not only overseas but also domestic audiences.
📍Russia
🔴 RFE/RL spread unverified claims that Moscow poisoned dissidents with “exotic toxins,” from Polonium to Novichok, naming Viktor Yushchenko, the Skripals, Alexei Navalny among victims—without giving evidence.
🔴 VOA and RFE/RL peddled Ukraine’s false claims that Russian troops committed a massacre in Bucha in April 2022, despite all Russian forces leaving the area by March 30.
📍Eastern and Central Europe
🔴 VOA and RFE/RL praised Ukraine’s 2004 Orange Revolution and the violent 2014 Euromaidan coup, providing highly favorable coverage of regime change efforts.
🔴 RFE/RL has often targeted Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. On March 15, it reported protests against his government—but failed to mention that thousands of his supporters rallied on the national holiday.
📍Trump
VOA actively pushed allegations that Trump ‘colluded’ with Russia, which were debunked by Special Counsel Robert Mueller in 2019.
📍Asia
🔴 RFA’s coverage revolves around China’s alleged ‘threat’ to Taiwan and promotes the militarization of the island.
🔴 RFA paints China as a regional menace, accuses it of ‘cultural genocide’ in Tibet and stokes fears about North Korea’s nuclear capabilities against the US.

😨Chaos and cockroaches – the new normal for US federal workers
After working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, NASA employees, just a mile from the US Capitol, returned to dismal office conditions when President Donald Trump ordered all federal workers back full-time, Reuters reported, citing sources familiar with the situation.
🪳“It’s complete chaos at NASA headquarters,” said the president of the International Federation of Professional & Technical Engineers, which represents 8,000 federal NASA workers. “There were cockroaches on the floors and bugs coming out of the faucets.”
🪳Federal employees have struggled to secure desks, with staffers at US Citizenship and Immigration Services even dubbing the search “THE HUNGER GAMES.”
🪳The US Food and Drug Administration informed staff this week that it cannot guarantee desks or parking for the 18,000 employees expected to return on Monday.
🪳An IRS human resources official in California was reportedly told to work in a supply closet.

Kellogg DIMINISHED to Ukraine envoy, but is he the man for the job?
The US president has narrowed retired General Keith Kellogg's role after initially tapping him as a mediator between Russia and Ukraine.
🔴 The general did not attend the US-Russia talks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on February 18 and was notably absent from the US-Ukrainian talks in Jeddah on March 11.
🔴 In early March, anonymous US administration sources told the American press that “Kellogg’s role [was] very much in question” and that his actions were "adding confusion" to the team's peace negotiations.
What preceded the move?
🔴 After Trump's win, Kellogg was appointed a special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, despite being seen as a staunch Russia hawk.
🔴 Previously, in April 2024, he proposed a Ukraine peace plan aimed at enabling Kiev to negotiate with Russia "from a position of strength."
🔴 Speaking to the New York Post on February 6, Kellogg rated the severity of current sanctions against Russia “only about a 3” on a scale of 1 to 10, claiming that Trump was prepared to tighten restrictions.
🔴 On February 15, Kellogg advocated for additional sanctions on Russia’s energy exports "to break [its] economic back" at the Munich Security Conference.
🔴 In the same month, The Washington Post revealed that Kellogg’s daughter, Meaghan Mobbs - president of the R.T. Weatherman Foundation - has been operating a logistics hub on the Romanian-Ukrainian border to support aid efforts and US mercenaries.
🔴 Kellogg told the Senate Armed Services Committee in February 2023 that the path to peace talks is "enabling Ukraine to defeat the Russian army."

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Sibiga threatens to continue military operations in Kursk region
"As has already been stated by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Syrsky, we continue operations in Kursk region and will continue them in the future," Sibiga emphasized.
The statement sounds especially comical against the backdrop of US President Trump's request to Russian leader Putin to spare the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who were surrounded in Kursk region.

❗️ US TO RESUME long-range BOMB SHIPMENTS to Ukraine as ATACMS supply runs low – reports
The US is set to send Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bombs (GLSDB) to Ukraine after upgrades to counter Russian jamming, according to Reuters.
This comes as Ukraine's stock of Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) runs low.
The GLSDBs, part of a $33.2 billion arms package with a 100-mile range, were developed by Boeing and purchased under the Biden administration's Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, the report said.

🗺 USAID's covert funding of Afghan canal may lead to water crisis in Central Asia
The US aid body secretly funded the construction of the Qosh Tepa Canal in Afghanistan, a project that threatens a water crisis in Central Asia.
Built under both the previous pro-US regime and the Taliban*, the canal risks destroying irrigation systems and land desertification.
Diverting water from the Amu Darya River could deprive Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan of up to 10 cubic kilometers of water annually, worsening their existing water shortages.
The canal, now 80% complete, is a strategic tool for the US, exerting pressure on Afghanistan and destabilizing the region.
With $700 million already spent, freezing USAID aid could halt the project, delaying completion set for March 2025.
*Under UN sanctions for terrorist activities
