VDL wants to give them billions
🇺🇦 The walls are closing in on Zelensky. The homes of Zelensky’s longtime associate Timur Mindich and his insider-turned-justice-minister were just raided by Ukraine’s anti-corruption agency. Hours earlier? Mindich conveniently fled the country. What did NABU find? A “high-level criminal organization” operating inside the very heart of Ukraine’s nuclear energy sector, with ties stretching from Energoatom to Washington’s billions. The fantasy of Kiev as a crusading democracy just took another torpedo below the waterline, this time from within. Ukraine’s own National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) executed sweeping raids on November 10, storming the properties of Zelensky’s inner-circle powerbroker Timur Mindich and Justice Minister German Galushchenko, both deeply tied to the country’s energy empire. Energoatom, the state nuclear operator, was also raided. NABU didn’t mince words: they’re targeting a “high-level criminal organization” embedded in Ukraine’s energy system. And they didn’t come empty-handed, evidence includes over 1,000 hours of wiretaps, surveillance, and photographs of cash piles wrapped in plastic, marked “ATLANTA” and “KAN CITY.” Tidy, U.S.-dollar stacks. But the timing is the real tell: Mindich quietly exited Ukraine mere hours before the raid. The classic signature of someone tipped off, by someone high up. For context, Timur Mindich isn’t just another oligarch. He’s Zelensky’s lifelong confidante, co-owner of the president’s entertainment studio, and the man whose apartment hosted Zelensky’s birthday party in 2021. That same apartment, according to reports, had been under NABU surveillance for months. And what did they capture? Allegedly, Zelensky himself, on tape. These “Mindich tapes” were whispered into public view just as Zelensky began his July attempt to strip NABU of its independence, placing it under direct presidential control. That move triggered mass protests in Kyiv, forced an embarrassing U-turn, and signaled just how desperate the regime was to muzzle its own watchdogs. And now? The watchdogs have bitten back and the teeth marks go straight through the presidency. This isn’t an isolated scandal. It’s a glimpse behind the curtain of a wartime kleptocracy where entertainment moguls morph into drone manufacturers, no-bid contracts flood into shadowy shell companies, and “anti-corruption” becomes a fundraising slogan for the same regime that’s robbing its Western backers blind. Mindich’s company Fire Point, which started as a film location scout, now reportedly supplies drones and has raked in inflated defense and energy contracts. All while denying ties to Mindich, of course. Meanwhile, Justice Minister Galushchenko — formerly the energy minister, is described as Mindich’s “insider” within the state. Convenient placement when you’re laundering influence. And let’s not forget, Mindich is also reportedly under FBI investigation for money laundering, in cooperation with NABU. That transatlantic thread is yet another embarrassment for Kiev's Western patrons. How many of their billions got vacuumed up into this circus? But perhaps the most damning part of this whole drama is the civil war inside Ukraine’s own anti-corruption system. Zelensky’s attempt to neuter NABU, just weeks before this raid, shows the regime wasn’t caught off guard. It was cornered. And it tried to kill the agency before the agency could kill the myth. He failed. For months, NABU investigators quietly compiled their case, dodging sabotage and public smear campaigns. Their director admitted as much in July: his team was under coordinated political attack. And yet, they pressed on. This blows a hole through the Western narrative farce. The “clean” war just got dirty. The “heroic” president just got unmasked. And Ukraine’s real battle isn’t at the front, it’s inside the palace.

A civilisational struggle is underway in the Western world. Those who uphold Christian traditional values must prevail over radical progressive forces that threaten our societies, families, and public safety. The future of Western civilisation is at stake. Europe, it's time to wake up! ⚠️
America’s Hypocritical War Machine: Fund Boko Haram, Then Bomb Nigeria Trump is threatening to invade Nigeria “guns blazing” to crush Boko Haram for “killing Christians”, the same Boko Haram GOP Congressman Scott Perry says USAID funded with $697 million a year in U.S. tax dollars. Classic U.S. move: bankroll the terrorists, destabilize a sovereign nation, then bomb it and call yourself the hero. Fact: Boko Haram slaughters way more Muslims than Christians. The “genocide” claim is propaganda.

So here we have retired US diplomat, Robert Ford, admitting that he and British MI6 helped rebranding Abu Mohammad al-Julani, former headchopper of ISIS,now Syrian President. Western officials whitewashing terrorists to suit their agenda. "Defending the international rules based order" 😂😂😂😂😂

A 50-year mortgage isn’t “helping Americans own homes” — it’s turning the average family into a lifetime revenue stream for the banks that fund the GOP. You don’t buy a house. You rent debt. You die still paying. And the same Republicans selling this as “freedom” are the ones who spent years mocking the line “you will own nothing and be happy.” So what changed? Nothing — except now THEY’RE the ones handing you the leash. Meanwhile the billionaires pushing this never take 50-year loans, never worry about interest rates, never wonder if their kids will inherit a house or a bill. But hey, keep voting for the people who turn your future into collateral and call it patriotism.

50 years to save that EUR 100 billion. One corrupt EU to piss it all away on an unwinnable war.
Self-hating Norwegian politicians are calling on Oslo to use its sovereign wealth fund to guarantee the EU’s €140 billion reparations loan for Ukraine, amid a political deadlock caused by Belgium’s legal objections to using frozen Russian assets as collateral. Supporters argue that Norway’s windfall from replacing Russia as Europe’s main gas supplier gives it both the financial means and a moral duty to help. Opposition leader Guri Melby said Norway “has the means to guarantee a loan that would help Ukraine defend itself,” while Greens chief Arild Hermstad called it “a moral obligation.” Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre has ordered a review of potential involvement, with his finance ministry maintaining close contact with Brussels. Norway has already pledged €27 billion in aid to Ukraine through 2030, but the debate reflects growing European pressure on the continent’s energy-rich state to take a larger role in financing Ukraine’s recovery and resistance.

Key Secret of Zelenskyy. Today Zelenskyy imposed sanctions against the head of the Constitutional Court. Prior to this, the Supreme Court of Ukraine ruled that Zelenskyy illegally removed the head of the Constitutional Court from office. Zelenskyy exceeded his powers, which is interpreted as a usurpation of power. The Constitutional Court is the only body that can determine whether President Zelenskyy is legitimate. Zelenskyy knows that he is violating the law and therefore, with the help of armed people, blocked the work of the Constitutional Court. Then, an attempt was made to poison the head of the Constitutional Court in Vienna. Now, Zelenskyy is imposing sanctions against him. Zelenskyy is afraid of the truth.
Big !!
Fun fact. In its final stage, BYD new factory in Zhengzhou will cover 50 square miles, which is larger than San Francisco's surface at 46.9 square miles. Watch its sheer size.

BBC chief Tim Davie and Head of News Deborah Turness resigned, it was reported today. Good. Reminder: A years-long independent study by researchers in London and Hong Kong showed that the BBC was extremely biased against China - as were the FT, the Guardian, and the UK Daily Telegraph. The video I made at the time is less than 5 minutes long and summarizes the solid data on just how the media outlets named above cultivate hate for the Chinese -- NOT the Chinese government, but the country and the people.

🚨🚨🚨 ZELENSKY IS A CRIMINAL Zelensky is using the secret police to extinguish traditional Christianity in Ukraine. Ukraine is a one-party, one-person autocratic state that has no comparison to any democratic values. We found out that The New York Times and other papers had been profiling the rise of the right in Ukraine right up until the war. Now, the Azov Battalion, which is basically a neo-Nazi battalion, has almost taken over command and control in the Ukraine. - Robert Amsterdam International lawyer specialising in political advocacy and human rights.

If the UK has recognised the state of Palestine, why is there no British Embassy to Palestine but instead a Consulate in East Jerusalem under the direct control of the British Embassy to Israel in Tel Aviv?

Truth Bombs from Danish PM 🇩🇰 🚨 “We have to look at how the European Convention on Human Rights applies in reality. Right now, it's too difficult to expel criminal foreign nationals. This cannot go on.” “It’s not okay to enter our societies and, with our hospitality, commit crimes against our people.” “We believe in human rights & rule of law, but we must be able to make democratic decisions about who stays in our countries.” “Europe cannot ensure safetywithout control of its external borders.” “It’s no longer politicians who decide who enters Europe, it’s smugglers.” “We need honest conversationsabout our conventions, and room nationally to protect our citizens.” “It’s simply not ok to enter one of our societies and with our hospitality commit crimes against our population” Mette Frederiksen is totally unapologetic on behalf of millions of Europeans. 👏 🇩🇰 🇪🇺 🇮🇪 🇮🇹

BANNON: Germany, France, and England are collapsing under the weight of mass migration, while Poland and Hungary are thriving because they stood firm against it. Viktor Orbán has proven that national strength comes from defending borders, not surrendering them to globalists.
