Bipartisan Group of Senators Say That Trump Has “Betrayed Ukraine”

A bipartisan group of 12 U.S. senators has urged President Donald Trump to reverse his decision to lift sanctions on Russian diesel exports, calling the move a betrayal of Ukraine that damages American security interests while doing little to lower fuel prices.

In a letter sent October 13, the senators argued that allowing Russia to sell diesel freely on global markets will fund Moscow’s military operations in Ukraine and its security cooperation with China, Iran, and North Korea, while also endangering U.S. service members involved in Operation Epic Fury, the U.S. war with Iran.
They pressed Trump to impose additional sanctions under legislation named for the late Senator Lindsey Graham that he signed into law last month.

Signatories include Richard Blumenthal, Thom Tillis, Jeanne Shaheen, Susan Collins, Dick Durbin, Sheldon Whitehouse, Lisa Murkowski, Jack Reed, Chris Coons, Mitch McConnell, and John Cornyn.
The October 9 announcement reportedly blindsided Ukraine and European allies and has reignited public friction between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ahead of the November midterms.

Trump has defended the deal as beneficial for American consumers, writing on Truth Social, “I made the right choice for the American People – ALWAYS, AMERICA FIRST!”

According to Axios, the decision followed Zelensky’s rejection of multiple U.S. requests to halt Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries, which Trump has blamed for rising gas prices.

Trump has also suggested it is “time for Ukraine to get a new president,” noting that Zelensky’s five-year term expired in May 2024 and that he has not called elections, citing martial law imposed after the escalation of the conflict with Russia.

The British Republicans are coming! The British Republicans are coming!

I can’t help but feel like we are on the cusp of a great revolution. It’s a feeling that we’ve all felt for the past ten years—waiting for the other shoe to drop—and it feels like it’s finally here.

Many in our ranks have grown cynical over the perception of inaction and stagnation, but what I’ve come to realize is that the things that we’ve all been waiting for (arrests, tribunals, retribution) concern things that are fake.

The reality in which we have all lived was a construct, the public figures were merely characters on a stage, and the vapid culture they foisted upon us was nothing more than a commodity.

I’m not saying that retribution against certain entities is unimportant. But I do think we have tricked ourselves into believing that exacting justice on those people and institutions would somehow lead to an overnight transformation into a new world where the corruption of the old world was so well understood that it became immediately obsolete, and as a result, the broken systems of that era would collapse under the weight of harsh scrutiny and simply fall away.

It’s still possible (and perhaps necessary) that these things will happen, but that will not inherently usher in the Golden Age, no matter how eager and optimistic we all are for real change.

The revolution has been a slow burn. It’s been happening all around us at such a glacial pace that you almost can’t perceive it. But it’s there.

We’ve all been eagerly waiting for that climactic moment where we witness the drama explode and tear a hole in the fake reality, ending the decades-long control matrix and freeing the people from Plato’s Cave. We have been waiting for the Hollywood version of revolution, which would herald in the Golden Age.

What has actually happened has been much more powerful.

Instead of being led to the truth, many people have been forced to go discover it.

Often times, these discoveries are a direct challenge to the status quo, forcing people to re-evaluate everything they have ever been told.

What happens if the Republican Party wins the fake election, but then chooses to prosecute and impeach President Trump over his connections and dealings with foreign leaders?

What happens if the GOP (or at least its leadership) chooses to impeach Trump?

What effect would that have on all the people who have insisted that we support the GOP in the voting booth no matter what they do?

Would election integrity even matter at that point? If the quality of the candidates is that abysmal?

Would people continue to grovel at the feet of the GOP?

We don’t need a revolution in the streets. We need a revolution in the hearts and minds of Americans.

URGENT: A funny thing’s happening now that (almost) nobody gets mRNA jabs anymore

The death rate is PLUNGING, as the pull-forward effect from Covid finally kicks in. Gee, now that old folks are skipping their annual mRNA jabs, deaths are down? Who would have guessed?

Alex Berenson the author of the above had another article of interest in 2022:

Ivermectin fails

A well-designed randomized controlled trial out of Malaysia showed it actually increased the risk of progression to severe Covid by 25% (the results were not statistically significant).

Sorry, folks. There are no magic bullets. (At least it doesn’t cause myocarditis.)

Someone tell Dr. Robert Malone. 

That article is paywalled but it is Archived: https://web.archive.org/web/20230928021735/https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/ivermectin-fails/comments


So I went looking for the original study and instead found this. Interesting…

Ivermectin: The Malaysia Study Swiss Policy Research

The Malaysian ivermectin trial: what does it really show?

JAMA Internal Medicine has published the Malaysian I-TECH open-label randomized trial of ivermectin, comprising a total of 490 patients. The trial found no significant benefit of ivermectin regarding disease progression or death. But things are more complex than this.

On the positive side, the trial included mostly participants with an elevated risk of severe covid (50+ with comorbidities). But on the negative side, 68% of the participants were already vaccinated (52% were double vaccinated), leaving only 159 unvaccinated participants. Moreover, treatment began on average 5.1 days after symptom onset, and mostly in patients already hospitalized.

Thus, most of these patients would not even have been eligible for the covid drug trials run by Pfizer (Paxlovid) and Merck (Molnupiravir), which required unvaccinated outpatients and a treatment delay of no more than 3 days (or 5 days at most), since swift action is crucial against a viral disease.

To make matters worse, the primary endpoint of the Malaysian study was hypoxia (95% oxygen saturation), an endpoint that was reached on average already 8 days after symptom onset or just 3 days after start of treatment, i.e. before the treatment was even completed (5 days).

Thus, the study was “designed to fail”: “The study design was such that any other antiviral, such as Paxlovid or Molnupiravir [or monoclonal antibodies], would also have failed.”

Interestingly, if one considers the secondary endpoint of 28-day in-hospital mortality, ivermectin once again showed an apparent benefit: 3 deaths (1.2%) vs 10 deaths (4.0%) overall and 1 death (1.3%) vs. 4 deaths (4.8%) in the unvaccinated subgroup, but the study was too small to reach statistical significance (risk ratio 0.31, p=0.09). Regarding ICU admission and ventilation, too, the ivermectin group showed a non-significant 20% to 60% advantage.

In addition, more people in the ivermectin group quickly progressed to hypoxia (21.6% vs. 17.3%; difference is not significant), which indicates that patients in the ivermectin group may have been in worse shape to begin with (but, after treatment, showed rather lower mortality)…

A very nice dissection showing how Big Pharma lies and why you need to read the actual paper if you can instead of just a blog author’s interpretation. That is why PAVACA is so valuable!
