Trump and Vance were not the first to warn Zelensky that his ungrateful begging would backfire. In June 2022, during a private phone call, then-President Joe Biden reportedly lost his temper with the Ukrainian president. Biden had agreed to another massive $1 billion aid package to Ukraine at the time. Yet, no amount is enough for Zelensky.

Any diplomatic leader would react to a $1 billion aid package with gratitude, especially since the US had already sent him billions in funds and weapons. Not Zelensky whose response was to list off everything else Ukraine needed on top of the new aid package. Reports state that Biden lost his temper and shouted at Zelensky during the private phone call—SHOW SOME GRATITUDE!

Zelensky used the United States and public taxpayer funds as his personal endless piggybank. He made a complete fool of Joe Biden who continued to fulfill his every wish. The difference between the current and last administration is that Trump will not tolerate disrespect. Additionally, Biden was forced to save face with the public to secure Zelensky’s image and America’s unwavering support.

In fact, months after the heated phone call, Biden publicly apologized to Zelensky for not sending MORE. He blamed the GOP, stating that Republican lawmakers were stalling additional aid as a political bargaining chip. America had already spent hundreds of billions on Zelensky’s proxy war, but our weak sell-out of a leader cowered and apologized for not prioritizing a foreign nation over his own. What an embarrassment and slap in the face to the people of America.

Numerous people have told me, “This is what I voted for” after Trump and Vance put Zelensky in his place. “Have you ever said ‘thank you’ once?” Vance questioned. Zelensky telling Trump that America would “feel” the impact of the war eventually was the final straw. He actually threatened the president of the United States by warning that war would soon be on his doorstep. The world needed to see that encounter to understand Zelensky. He could have easily chosen PEACE! He could have chosen to prioritize the lives of his troops rather than his ego and pockets. The deal was there awaiting him, but he chose death and destruction.

Zelensky came for a paycheck and left with a reality check. Sorry, but the new American administration serves the American people who have provided Ukraine with more funding than any other nation. The neocons in Europe can cry all they want about America abandoning Europe, but they fail to acknowledge that our president was offering PEACE and an end to war. But no, the neocons are hell-bent on conquering Russia, so peace was never an option. It will be of interest to see how the European leaders who do not support this endless war will react and if it will cause another fracture in the EU.

Trump has said he’d like to stop focusing on Russia and Ukraine and refocus on securing America’s borders. Let us not forget that millions of undocumented, unvetted foreign nationals are still residing in America, presenting an extreme threat to our own national security.

The war in Ukraine has disproportionately hurt Hungary and Slovakia. To add insult to injury, Zelensky declined to renew a gas line deal that was providing the two European nations with essential energy. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico have once again broken ties with the European Union and shot down the latest Ukrainian aid package.

Fico has said that he would not send Ukraine another euro and called “peace through strength” measures “unrealistic.” Furthermore, Fico sees through Zelensky’s victimization and is reportedly “sick” of his games. “He roams Europe begging and blackmailing, asking others for money. This needs to stop,” Fico adamantly said.

Hungary’s Orban wrote a letter to Brussels in which he urged for peace. “I am convinced that the European Union – following the example of the United States – should enter into direct discussions with Russia on a ceasefire and a sustainable peace in Ukraine,” Orban wrote to Antonio Costa, who heads the Council of the EU’s 27 member states. Instead of seeing this man as someone who wants to prevent death and destruction, Western media is pinning him as a Russian tool and Putin ally.

“If the summit does not respect that there are other views than continuing the war, the European Council on Thursday may not be able to agree on conclusions on Ukraine,” Fico said in a Facebook post. Orban said that the differences in opinion “cannot be bridged” but believes that the EU must vote unanimously on the next aid package.

Costa replied to Orban’s letter with a biased anti-Russian stance, claiming that the EU does, in fact, want peace—but they’re unwilling to take any measures to ensure peace. Brussels does not protect its member states. Slovakia and Hungary repeatedly urged Brussels to take their energy crisis into consideration but the EU dismissed their pleas. Now, they’re asking all member states to continually pour money into one of the most corrupt nations in Europe for nothing in return. Brussels is akin to some cult leader begging members for all their funding, promising to protect them from some inevitable threat that will never come before asking them to commit (economic) suicide.

The European Union cannot survive for a plethora of reasons, one being that certain nations no longer wish to see their people live through World War III. We will see on March 6 if the EU respects the vote of all member states or if they blatantly move ahead without unanimous support.

Zelensky has relented only after Trump cut off all aid to Ukraine. Sources are saying that the politicians, whose salaries would end instantly, insisted that he cut a deal or resign. Zelensky proposed a partial ceasefire with Russia, posting on X that Kyiv would be willing to release prisoners and agree to a truce that would ban long-range attacks on civilian and energy infrastructure in the air and the sea. The Neocons are probably very upset, but if they can’t shake someone down to put in $10 billion to cover all the expenses in Ukraine when Europe doesn’t have the cash, they will need to create some false flag afterward to claim Putin violated the cease-fire.

The European Commission crafted a new strategy to funnel money into climate change initiatives—The Clean Industrial Deal (CID). The European Union has watched as these net zero carbon goals slowly strangle their economies. Yet, those in charge believe they can achieve net zero by 2050 through perpetual spending. The Clean Industrial Deal will allegedly help “energy-insensitive” sectors remain competitive through a €100 billion spending package.

“We are going to rethink the logic of public procurement to include criteria of sustainability, resilience, and European preference,” European Commissioner for Industry, Stéphane Séjourné, noted. They believe there is benefits toward forcing the private sector to become dependent on public funds. Europe refuses to acknowledge that its policies have caused energy prices to skyrocket and seep into every single sector, causing overall inflation to rise across the continent. Instead of abandoning the sinking ship, Brussels is forcing the continent to set sail on a mission that is destined to fail.

EU Commission President Ursula admitted that current policies have caused energy costs to increase. Businesses and consumers have no desire to go green and there is net zero demand. Capital is hightailing it out of Europe as a result and these politicians still will not change course. “Production costs have increased, especially for energy-intensive industries. Demand for green products has dropped, and some investments have relocated to other regions,” she admitted.

One sentence that proves governments are becoming more authoritarian:

“We need to do with lithium and cobalt what we did with Covid vaccines.” – Stéphane Séjourné

Brussels is prepared to force companies and consumers to comply by any means necessary. New regulatory commissions are forming to analyze European industries to ensure they are in adherence. Businesses will be audited for their energy consumption and forced to report their energy usage to unelected authorities who do not have their best interests in mind.

We cannot speak on climate change without noting the policy that sparked the movement—the Great Reset and Agenda 2030. Agenda 2030 was created by World Economic Forum’s Klaus Schwab to force a one world government upon the world. Hence, we are seeing an increase in policies that threaten the private sector to force everyone to become dependent on government.

Von der Leyen swears that “by 2030, the EU’s renewable energy targets will generate over 3.5 million new jobs.” One of the core pillars of Agenda 2030 is the push for net zero policies, which, as I have explained, are nothing more than government-imposed economic warfare on the private sector. Europe is dismantling its own industrial base. Germany, once the economic powerhouse of the EU, is in freefall because of insane energy policies that have made electricity prices uncompetitive. French Economy Minister Eric Lombard admitted that economic policies are causing GDP to decline.

The bureaucrats will not reverse course or admit that their poor policies are causing capital to flee. Expect to see more financial restrictions, wealth taxes, and digital currencies designed to trap capital. The collapse of confidence in government is what ultimately destroys economies, and Europe is on that path.

The primary policy implemented under the Trump Administration that I believe has the potential to destroy the US economy is tariffs. The very people who are supposed to advise Trump do not comprehend the global nature of the economy and the repercussions of tariffs. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently came out to say that China will simply “eat any tariffs that go on.”

“Well, we don’t know yet because it’s path-dependent, but what I can tell you is that I’m not worried about China,” Bessent said. “China will pay for the tariffs because their business model is exporting their way out of this inflation.” Our own Treasury Secretary does not understand that tariffs are inflationary.

Trump’s tariffs on China were meant to correct the so-called trade imbalance. Yet, as I’ve repeatedly pointed out, tariffs do not address the core issue—capital flows. America’s trade deficit is driven by capital inflows, not trade policy. Foreign nations invest in US assets, which results in a capital account surplus. By imposing tariffs, the US government added to inflation, raised costs for American businesses, and forced manufacturers to seek alternative supply chains in Vietnam and Mexico rather than returning to the US.

Economic power shifts not through tariffs but through capital investment and confidence. China simply will redirect its exports elsewhere, while American consumers pay higher prices. We saw this happen during the first US-China trade war when Trump first entered the White House.

China is prepared to take retaliatory measures against the US. “If the U.S. insists on its own way, China will take all necessary countermeasures to defend its legitimate rights and interests,” a Ministry of Commerce spokesperson told CNBC. America has already lost China as its top trading partner, but what’s worse is that American politicians on both sides have caused the Chinese to stop purchasing US debt.

Trump is keen to see capital flowing back to the United States and must realize that these tariffs will have the precise opposite effect. I am less concerned about his tariffs on China than about his proposed tariffs on Europe. The tariff on China is more about the cost of production since “Made in China” means it was made cheaper with cheap labor and domestic (Chinese) parts.

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, I found your initial comment that Epstein was not a pedophile offensive. Then, with time and saying there were over 200 girls, you pointed out these were all high-profile people interesting. Then your last comment that the real question nobody asks is who did he work for? Is this why there seems to be holding back the files?

GG

ANSWER: I believe they have stepped into a pile of shit, as they say, and it stinks so bad, they can’t get it off their shoes. I believe the spin of this is seriously wrong. Epstein was working for someone, and the people who flew with him to his island were his marks or real victims. In other words, the object was to get evidence on them to blackmail them into doing whatever.

Look, the legal age is 16 in England, not 18. They are free from parental control, can leave home, can start a family, can get married, can start work, can pay taxes, and can join the military forces.

Now, look at this map. Epstein has an island in the US Virgin Islands. If he were really concerned about obeying the law, he would have bought an island in the British Virgin Islands. JUST CROSS THAT BORDER and everything would have been legal. If it was legal, then what was the point. I doubt that most middle-aged men could tell the difference if a girl was 17 or 18 by just looking at them.

This was a professional honey trap. I doubt this was just for fun, and I doubt that this was to blackmail people for Epstein’s personal benefit. This had to be an operation for someone else and he was paid to get people into compromising positions to do certain things.

J. Edgar Hoover was probably the most powerful non-elected person in modern American history. The Deep State seems to be attempting to rival his power. He was the FBI director from 1924 through his death in 1972, and he used the tools of his agency to create a power base that was unrivaled in American history. Perhaps he was James Comey’s mentor.

Speaking with members of Congress over the years and staff, they would recount how Hoover would use blackmail and intimidation against members of Congress. He would go to their office and say I just wanted to let you know that this came up about something you had done. He would say if the FBI discovered this fact, perhaps your opponent might. They would have to thank him and then they were on his short leash.

Anna Chapman was a Russian Spy caught in New York City. She was swapped for American spies in 2010 and made headlines in New York. She was stunningly beautiful as well as stunningly successful. Well, if you are going to betray secrets, this is far better than the rubber hose treatment. She became known as Vladimir Putin’s weapon of mass distraction.

Honey Traps were very common during the Cold War. The KGB would send stunningly beautiful Russian women to entangle men in strategic positions. This is a very old trick to get information. In my opinion, this was the real goal of Epstein—to get people in compromising positions so his real benefactors could have leverage. Who was his real boss? Some say Israel.

Revolutions happen when the people band together against a corrupt government and demand change. Greece came to an utter standstill over the weekend after hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets to demand answers on the second anniversary of the nation’s deadliest rail disaster. It is hard to imagine the sheer magnitude of these protests, which are believed to be the largest in modern Greek history.

All flights were suspended. Transportation services were unavailable. Public services came to an abrupt halt as everyone took to the streets. Political affiliation, race, gender, sex, religion, and every other category that governments use to divide the people were forgotten for a brief moment in Greek history as everyone banded together against the government. This is precisely what governments fear—the people acknowledging that the government rather than their neighbor is the problem.

For context, the tragic accident happened on February 28, 2023, after a passenger train struck a freight train head-on near Thessaloniki, claiming the lives of 57 people. No one has been prosecuted, and the people of Greece strongly believe that the government worked to cover up the true causes of the crash. Two years of near silence from the government caused tensions to boil until civil unrest became inevitable.

The Greek people are demanding transparency and accountability from their government NOW. Some believe that the train may have been carrying illegal flammable cargo, and 30 of the 57 victims, mostly young students, may have survived the initial crash only to burn alive in the fire that erupted shortly after. Not only should the railway officials be held accountable, but the political figures who have hindered any real investigation must answer to the people.

“We don’t forget, we don’t forgive,” one sign read, according to Reuters. “Justice, not forgetting,” another read. Protestors in Athens wrote the names of the victims in red on the streets. Another sign read, “Privatizations kill,” and many people chanted, “I HAVE NO OXYGEN!” to honor one victim’s final phone call to emergency services before being consumed by the fires.

Protests were also held at over 100 Greek embassies and consulates internationally. A map of protests across six continents was published on Google for all to see. Some believe over 430,000 people took to the streets of Athens alone. The entire nation came to a halt as everyone joined forces to demand answers from their government. And guess what? The government was forced to answer to the people. As a reminder, elected officials are supposed to SERVE THE PEOPLE who they elected to represent them rather than their own self interests, but we rarely see that occur.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis initially blamed human error for the crash and almost dismissed the events, citing that the justice system would properly handle the matter in time. His tune has since changed. He is acknowledging that his administration has been in the wrong. “The citizens demanded the obvious: truth and justice for the victims, a state that takes action to ensure such a tragedy is never repeated, and safe and modern public transport,” the prime minister stated, later adding, “Greece cannot operate with half-measures and improvisation. With a system that reacts only after the worst has happened, that waits for crises to mobilize. The State has a duty to anticipate, not to run behind developments. A collective responsibility, but above all my own.”

This brilliant historical call for justice shows the strength of the people as a collective. There is a reason this is not a top news story worldwide. If the people were not divided, they would realize that governments are pinning us against one another for a reason. They attempt to shield us from the truth, silence us from speaking, and slowly repeal our freedoms to gain power. But power is bound to transfer, and governments can only tighten their grip on it for so long until it is forced out of their hands. Using every tool at their disposal, governments everywhere aggressively divide the people to maintain their power, as they know the people can and will overpower them when united. This is precisely how REAL change and revolutions happen.
