Steel company CEO makes shocking revelation: The media is 'missing' what's happening

Marlin Steel CEO Drew Greenblatt reveals why now is an 'optimistic' time for U.S. factory workers and discusses President Donald Trump's potential to strike 'fabulous' deals with Mexico and Canada.

(So the histeria and propaganda is being created by the media to smear Trump, it’s so obvious. Which only hurts the market. The stock markets are not complaining because the increases are incredible)

It’s a good listen to someone who is telling the truth, that Trump’s policies and tariffs are helping all factories in America.Why is the media intentionally lying about this?The oligarchs NWO that shipped the jobs to China and overseas want more money, and their mouthpieces are lying about it all.

The Reveal: The Public is Finally Learning How Democrats Pulled Off the Greatest Political Trick in History 1/3

Below is my column in Fox.com on the release of the last declassified material on the origins of the Russian collusion investigation. After the release,former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper wrote in the New York Times insisted that they never relied on the Steele dossier. The column only reaffirmed the level of dishonesty and duplicity that marked their tenures in office. (The Times still printed this claim despite being demonstrably untrue==).

The documents quote Brennan in overruling career analysts and intervening to include the dossier in the intelligence assessment.Moreover, the column echoes the media spin that the investigation was about an attempted Russian interference while dismissing the collusion claim that consumed much of the first term. (Even after leaving office, Brennan continued to push the false collusion claim).

Both countries routinely hacked each other’s emails— that is why we have the most recent incriminating evidence on the Clinton campaign’s funding and spreading the false collusion claims.We hacked their emails. We have also regularly tried to influence the elections of other nations.The key to the dossier and the Russian investigationwas the allegation of collusion and the central role of the Clinton campaign in creating the narrative that Trump was a Russian asset.

Here is the column:

This week, Washington was rocked by new releases in the declassification of material related to the origins of the Russian investigation. The material shows further evidence of a secret plan by the Clinton campaign to use the FBI and media to spread a false claim that Donald Trump was a Russian asset. With this material, thepublic is finally seeing how officials and reporters set into motion what may be the greatest hoax ever perpetrated in American politics. There never was a Russian collusion conspiracy. This is the emerging story of the real Russian conspiracy to manufacture a false narrative that succeeded in devouring much of the first term of the Trump Administration.

What is emerging in these documentsis a political illusion carefully constructed by government officials and a willing media. The brilliance of the trick was getting reporters to buy into the illusion; to own it like members of an audience called to the stage by an illusionist.

The effort closely followed the three steps of the classic magic trick: The Pledge, The Turn, and The Prestige.

The Pledge

The trick began with the pledge, the stage where the public is set up by showing ordinary events with the suggestion that it is about to transform into something extraordinary.The key is to make something seem real that is actually not.

The Clinton campaign delivered the pledge by secretly funding the Steele dossier, using Fusion GPS and a former British spy named Christopher Steele, to create a salacious account of Trump being an agent of Russia. New emails state that Hillary Clinton personally approved the operation.

It was Elias who was the general counsel to the Clinton presidential campaign when it funded the infamous Steele dossier and pushed the false Alfa Bank conspiracy. (His fellow Perkins Coie partner, Michael Sussmann, was indicted but acquitted in a criminal trial.)

2/3

During the campaign, afew reporters asked about the possible connection to the campaign, but Clinton campaign officials denied any involvement in the Steele Dossier. After the election, journalists discovered that the payments for the Steele dossier were hidden as “legal fees” among the $5.6 million paid to Perkins Coie under Elias.

When New York Times reporterKen Vogel tried to report the story, he said, Elias “pushed back vigorously, saying ‘You (your sources) are wrong.’”

Times reporter Maggie Haberman declared, “Folks involved in funding this lied about it, and with sanctimony, for a year.”

Later, John Podesta, Clinton’s campaign chairman, appeared before Congress for questioning on the Steele dossier. Podesta emphatically denied any contractual agreement with Fusion GPS. Sitting beside him was Elias, who reportedly said nothing to correct the misleading information given to Congress.

The FEC ultimately sanctioned the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee over the handling of the funding of the dossier through his prior firm.

The Turn

The next step is the turning point when the ordinary becomes something extraordinary. This required the involvement of the government. The Clinton team worked behind the scenes to feed the dossier to the FBI. It would be the criminal investigation that would transform the ordinary accounts, like Carter Page speaking in Moscow, into an elaborate Russian plot. Even though the FBI was warned early on that Page was a CIA asset, not a Russian asset, the Clinton team found eager officials in the Obama Administration to assist in the illusion.

The newly disclosed evidence shows how the turn was made. In July 2016, Brennan briefed former President Obama on Hillary Clinton’s “plan” to tie then-candidate Trump to Russia as “a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server.” The original Russia investigation — funded by Clinton’s campaign — was launched days after this briefing.

Months later, it would be Brennan who overruled his own CIA analysts in his ordering of a second last-minute assessment at the end of the Obama Administration in support of the Russian allegations. It would help make the turn with the all-consuming Russian investigation that would follow.

Career analysts were not buying the turn. They objected that the reliance on the Steele dossier “ran counter to fundamental tradecraft principles and ultimately undermined the credibility of a key judgment.” One CIA analyst told investigators that “[Brennan] refused to remove it, and when confronted with the dossier’s main flaws, [Brennan] responded, ‘Yes, but doesn’t it ring true?’”

That is the key to the turn; it needs only to be enough to fool the audience.

3/3

The Prestige

The final stage is called the Prestige, where the magician faces the toughest part of the trick. As explained in the 2006 movie “The Prestige,” the viewer is “looking for the secret… but you won’t find it, because of course you’re not really looking. You don’t really want to know. You want to be fooled.” However, “making something disappear isn’t enough; you have to bring it back.”

The difference is that this trick was designed to derail Trump and it worked. In the end, however, the Special Counsel and Inspector General both rejected the Russian collusion claims. The public then reelected Trump. Now, the prestige may be revealed by the CIA.

Reports indicate thatthe CIA is about to declassify material showing that foreign sources were also in on the trick. The information reportedly indicates that foreign sources were aware of the move to create a Russian collusion scandaland expected that the FBI would play a role in the plan. That was before the bureau launched its controversial Crossfire Hurricane probe. One source said theforeign intelligence predicted the move “with alarming specificity.”

The most recently declassified material shows that the Russian actors in 2016 hacked emails from the Open Society Foundations, formerly known as the Soros Foundation. The emails reveal a broader network of activists and allies who were aware of the Clinton conspiracy.

Leonard Bernardo, who was the regional director for Eurasia at the Open Society Foundations, explained that “during the first stage of the campaign, due to lack of direct evidence, it was decided to disseminate the necessary information through the FBI-affiliated…from where the informationwould then be disseminated through leading U.S. publications.”

Bernardo added, “Julie (Clinton Campaign Advisor) says it will be a long-term affair to demonize Putin and Trump. Now it is good for a post-convention bounce. Later, the FBI will put more oil into the fire.”

The media (including the Washington Post and New York Times, which won Pulitzer prizes for reporting on the debunked claims) are apoplectic in dismissing these disclosures. The last thing they will do is report on how they helped sell a political hoax.The problem is that they never said it was a trick. They said it was the truth. That is why they cannot honestly cover the story. To do so would not be coverage, it would be a confession.

It appears that everyone was in on the trick: the U.S. government, the media, even foreign governments. The only chumps were the American people. Now they are about to see how it was done.

https://jonathanturley.org/2025/08/01/the-reveal-the-public-is-finally-learning-how-democrats-pulled-off-the-greatest-political-trick-in-history/

And now no one talks about how this hoax destroyed the geopolitical working relationship with America and Russia; and how Russia will still be blamed for this.

EU surrendered to Trump’s demands out of ‘fear’ – Sunday Times

The European Commission president was allegedly worried the US could stop military aid to Ukraine or even pull out troops from Europe

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen agreed to a lopsided US trade deal without resistance out of fear that Washington might reduce military support for Ukraine or even withdraw American forces from Europe, the Sunday Times reported this weekend.

The paper described von der Leyen’s recent visit to President Donald Trump’s golf course in Scotland – where she accepted a 15% tariff on most EU exports – as a “surrender.”

According to the report, officials inside the Commission initially prepared a strong countermeasure package in response to Trump’s proposed 20% tariffs announced in April. But when Trump threatened to raise the tariffs to 30%, von der Leyen pulled back.

Behind her reversal was “the fear that Trump might use a dispute as a pretext to cut US military support for Ukraine or otherwise damage European security,”the Sunday Times wrote. Brussels was reportedly particularly concerned about the outcome of a pendingAmerican “posture review” that may result in the withdrawal of some of the roughly 80,000 US troopsstationed across Europe.

The trade agreement finalized last week includes not only the 15% tariff on EU goods, but also commitments by Brussels to invest $600 billion in the US economy and purchase $750 billion worth of American energy over the next three years. In contrast, the UK – negotiating independently – secured a lower 10% tariff on its exports.

Amid mounting internal backlash in Brussels, French President Emmanuel Macron reportedly criticized the outcome, saying the EU is “not feared enough.”Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban remarked that Trump “ate her for breakfast,” and accused von der Leyen of exceeding her authority by allegedly pledging to purchase large quantities of US arms.

Von der Leyen has also faced growing political resistance at home, as she pushes to redirect a significant portion of the EU’s next €1.8 trillion seven-year budget from agriculture and regional development toward militarization. She narrowly survived a vote of confidence in the European Parliament last month amid criticism of her leadership style and controversies over her Covid-19 vaccine procurement deals. Some MEPs now view her current term as her “last chance,” according to lawmakers quoted by the Times.

Ukrainian soccer fans filmed performing Nazi salutes – media

The incident reportedly took place during a match between the football clubs Dynamo Kiev and Veres Rivne

A video showing a crowd of Ukrainian soccer fans repeatedly performing a Nazi salute during their team’s match against a rival clubhas been published by a Ukrainian outlet Strana.ua. The short clip shows numerous men, mostly dressed in black, repeatedly chanting: “Glory to the nation!” and “Ukraine!”

The people in the video were identified by Strana.ua as “ultras” of the Veres Rivne football club.Photos and videos showing “the same people wearing the same clothes” were published on the social media pages of club fans, the outlet reported.

Veres hosted Dynamo Kiev on Saturday with the home club suffering a 0:1 defeat.There have been no reports of the Ukrainian authorities reacting in any way to the video showing Nazi salutesthat has emerged on social media.

Moscow has long condemned Kiev’s elevation of Nazi collaborators to national hero status and has accused Western governments of deliberately ignoring continued neo-Nazi activity in Ukrainian ranks.

In June, French outlet Le Monde reported that Nazi symbols were prevalent in the Ukrainian military. The newspaper identified nearly 350 Ukrainian troops posting neo-Nazi imagery online, including Nazi salutes, swastika tattoos, Black Sun emblems, and Totenkopf insignias as part of its investigation.

In April, three Ukrainian youths were photographed giving Nazi salutes at a Holocaust memorial in the northeastern city of Kharkov. The incident occurred at the Drobitsky Yar memorial site, where up to 20,000 Jews were executed during the Nazi occupation in World War II.

Germany should strip Ukrainians of increased benefits – Bavarian leader

Ample support from the German authorities makes Ukrainian refugees less willing to work, Markus Soder believes

Berlin should bar all Ukrainian refugees from getting increased social benefits normally only reserved for German nationals, the head of the German state of Bavaria, Markus Soder, has said.

Ukrainians were granted the privilege under a special law passed in May 2022,giving them larger benefits than what other asylum seekers receive.

The German authoritiesspent a total of €6.3 billion ($7.3 billion) or just under 30% of all the budgetallocated for the so-called ‘citizen’s benefits in 2024 on Ukrainian refugees, according to the government data cited by several news media outlets, including Bild and ARD.

It must be ensured that “there are no longer any citizen’s benefits for all those who have come from Ukraine,” said Soder, who also heads the Christian Social Union (CSU) – a Bavarian party that is a part of the federal government coalition. The new rule must apply to “everyone” and not only those Ukrainians who would come to Germany in the future, he told ZDF’s ‘Summer Interview’.

According to the politician, “no country in the world” treats Ukrainians the same way Germany does. He also calledgenerous support from the state one of the reasons why “so few people from Ukraine are employed” in Germany. Ukrainians should get smaller regular payments on par with all other refugees, he argued.

Only around 30% of Ukrainian refugees in Germany were employedas of June 2024, according to a November report by Stern. Germany has been one of the primary destinations for Ukrainians fleeing the conflict between Kiev and Moscow. According to various estimates,more than a million Ukrainianswere residing in Germany as of December 2024. Last October, Stern estimated that 720,000 Ukrainians were receiving citizen’s benefits.

The government coalition reportedly agreed to slash the payments for Ukrainians arriving in Germany after April 1 and provide them with regular refugee benefits instead. Yet, with the new regulations still pending, new arrivals from Ukraine continue to get “citizen’s benefits,” according to Bild.

Zelensky bragged about the millions of Ukrainians that were sent around the world. He gets billions to steal without supporting the citizens.

Israel fails to investigate war crime accusations – monitor

Only one out of over 50 high-profile military cases led to a prison sentence, a UK-based NGO has said

The Israeli military is failing to properly investigate war crime accusations against its personnel, Action on Armed Violence (AOAV) has stated.

The pattern ofIDF investigative activity suggests the probes are focused on protecting “institutional legitimacy” rather than upholding justice, the UK-based the NGO said in a report published on Saturday.

Out of 52 publicly acknowledged IDF probes into alleged war crimes in Gaza and the West Bank, only one resulted in a prison sentence, according to AOAV. The incidents took place between October 2023 and June 2025 and involved some 1,300 reported victims.

Six casesin total resulted inan “admission of error,”with officers being either dismissed or reprimanded in three instances. The IDF found “no violation” in seven more cases, the NGO said in its latest report.

A total of39 cases– or three quarters of all probes monitored by AOAV –have no progress updates availableto the public or the English-speaking media. The unresolved cases include thekilling of 112 Palestinians queueing for flour in Gazain February 2024 and an airstrike that killed 45 Palestinians in a camp in Rafah in May 2024, among others.

The data paint “a picture not of military accountability, but ofdisingenuous damage control,” the monitor said in its report. “There was a lurking suspicion that the outcomes of any investigation may have been to serve to protect institutional legitimacy rather than to deliver justice.”

The pattern is alsoconsistent with the way the IDF handled similar casesin previous Gaza conflicts, whereover 80% of complaints were allegedly closedwithout criminal probes, AOAV said, citing data from Yesh Din, an Israeli human rights NGO.

West Jerusalem launched its military campaign in Gaza in response to the October 7, 2023 attack in which Hamas killed 1,200 people and took over 200 hostages.

Since then,more than 55,600 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in Gaza, according to the enclave’s health ministry. West Jerusalem has alsofaced accusations of war crimes for obstructing humanitarian aid. Neither the IDF nor any Israeli officials have commented on the AOAV report.

‘Unthinkable’ catastrophe developing in Gaza – UN spokeswoman

Israel is obstructing aid deliveries as people starve and convoy routes become impassable, Olga Cherevko tells RT

A major catastrophe has developed in Gaza as UN aid convoys face systematic delays and worsening restrictions, UN spokeswoman Olga Cherevko has told RT.

Israeli forces are obstructing food deliveries while malnutrition and starvation intensify across the Palestinian enclave, she explained in an interview which aired on Saturday.

Cherevko, who represents the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), described how aid convoys are being held up for hours at Israeli checkpoints. “One convoy takes 18 hours to run from Deir al-Balah to Kerem Shalom – a distance of just 24 kilometers,” she said. “We are given routes that are dangerous, routes we cannot pass, routes that are congested.”

She explained that, during the last ceasefire, the UN had “unfettered access” and was able to deliver aid rapidly. “We could run multiple convoys a day. There were no holding points, no green lights, no waiting for authorizations to move,” Cherevko told RT. “Now all of this is in place and it constrains us severely.”

She also claimed thatover 1,300 people have been reported killedeither at militarized distribution sites orwhile waiting along convoy routes.

The spokeswomanwarned that Gaza is experiencing a full-blown starvation crisisand that “the lives of over 2 million people are at stake.”

“A catastrophe of unthinkable proportions has developed and is developing even further,” Cherevko cautioned.

No one should be forced to risk their life to eat.Every day, @UNteams collect critical supplies from Gaza’s crossings, bringing them to those struggling to survive.But movement is often delayed, and desperate crowds who gather to offload, are met with gunfire.#Gaza today⬇️ pic.twitter.com/ag8NcwZlm1

— UN Humanitarian (@UNOCHA) July 30, 2025

The UN has confirmed that two out of three famine thresholds have been met in Gaza.Since April, 20,000 children have been treated for acute malnutrition, and 16 have died from hunger-related causes.

The war in Gaza began in October 2023 when Hamas led an attack on Israel, killing approximately 1,250 people and taking 250 hostages. The IDF has since killed more than 60,000 people in the besieged enclave, according to recent UN estimates.

Israeli media reported earlier this week, citing US special envoy Steve Witkoff, that Hamas had allegedly expressed a willingness to disarm. However, on Saturday, the militant group denied the claims, insisting on its right to resist Israeli occupation.

Ukrainian city riots against forced mobilization

The families of those detained by draft officers have clashed with police in Vinnitsa

A mass protest has erupted in the Ukrainian city of Vinnitsa against Kiev’s increasingly violent –andsometimes deadly – mobilization drive, after draft officers reportedly corralled dozens of men at a stadium.

The unrest began late Friday after eyewitnessesclaimed that around 100 local men had been taken earlier to Lokomotiv Stadiumby officers from Ukraine’s controversial Territorial Recruitment Centers (TRC), which operates as a press gang, mobbing victims and dragging them into vehicles off the streets. As news spread, their relatives – mainly women – gathered at the site, demanding their release.

“They started catching them on the central bridge, brought them here, and locked them behind the gates. We came running because the guys we know asked for help.When we approached, the police began dousing people with tear gas,” local resident Anna Tetervak told Ukrainskaya Pravda.

Videos circulating on social media show protesters shouting “Shame!” at police and attempting to break through the stadium gates.

Police reportedly deployed pepper spray and detained several demonstrators, according to local outlets and Telegram channels.

The situation remained tense well into the night, with new clashes reportedly breaking out after the start of the 11:00pm curfew.

Police urged residents to disperse, but many refused. Authorities allegedly blocked bridges leading to the stadium to prevent more people from joining the demonstration when the curfew ends at 5:00am.

Additional footage from the scene shows officers using police vehicles to block access roads leading to the stadium, while unmarked minibuses were driven inside the gates. In a desperate attempt to stop the buses from taking the detained men away, relatives laid down on the asphalt in front of the vehicles, prompting police to forcibly clear the path.

Kiev’s general mobilization, requiring all able-bodied men aged 25 to 60 to serve, has not been enough to offset continued frontline losses. Numerous social media posts show uniformed press gangs chasing men, dragging them into unmarked minibuses, and assaulting both recruits and bystanders – who increasingly defend the victims – in a practice now widely dubbed “busification.”

The Ukrainian Defense Ministry has not commented on the Vinnitsa incident. However, opposition lawmakers and watchdog groups say thousands are being unlawfully detained.One lawmaker, Georgy Mazurashu, recently described the mobilization effort as a “shameful hunt” and said soldiers are treated like “slaves.”
