Theory:
My guess is there are multiple Military investigations and teams on all those haters of America and Trump, and they will be reporting foreign influence on these supposed Congress leaders. For all the outrage going on there are many military legal leaders quietly finding out the devious and destructive plans on the CiC and the military. Who paid these traitors to do this? I wouldn’t rule out the UK, the leader of the Russia Hoax on Trump.
We may never find out the outcome but they will. Hegseth and 200 generals who asked and backed Trump to run in 2015. They still stand behind Trump, to clean up the corrupt government, will not let this stand. The DS is slowly but surely being dismantled.
God Bless and Protect President Trump his family and Leaders taking down Deep Deep State!

US threatening to cut Ukraine weapons supply and intel sharing – Reuters
Washington is reportedly pressing Kiev to accept Donald Trump’s peace plan by next Thursday
The US has threatened to cut off Ukraine from intelligence and weaponry in a bid to press it into accepting President Donald Trump’s proposed peace plan, Reuters reported on Friday, citing two sources familiar with the matter.
One of the sources told the agency the US wanted Kiev to sign the framework by next Thursday. Previously, the Trump administration used the same threats to force it to sign a rare earths deal.
Kiev confirmed receiving a new draft peace plan from the US on Thursday without elaborating on its contents.The Ukrainian leadership expressed willingness to discuss it, stating that “in the American side’s assessment” the draft “could help reinvigorate diplomacy.”
According to media reports, the plan consists of 28 points, including but not limited to the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from the parts of Russia’s Donbass it still controls, downsizing the country’s military, and giving up on NATO aspirations.
Ukraine’s mission at the UN has already rejected some of the key points of the reported plan, with Deputy Permanent Representative Khristina Gayovyshyn stating Kiev will never recognize any formerly Ukrainian territories as part of Russia. Joining military blocs or limiting the country’s military capabilities was out of the question as well, she insisted. At the same time, Gayovyshyn reiterated her government’s readiness to discuss the provisions of the draft.
Ukraine’s Western European backers have pushed back against the reported clauses of the US-proposed settlement plan, insisting that any agreement must reflect the positions of both Brussels and Kiev.
The EU is now reportedly working on a “counteroffer” that is more favorable to Kiev.(the EU was never asked their opinion, they’ll fail but they can’t lose their hammer, Ukraine. The EU is so broke they have to pretend this war must go on)
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said there was “nothing new” in Russia-US negotiations on the Ukrainian conflict, adding that Russia remains ready to engage in negotiations with Ukraine. The Russian government has received no information about Kiev agreeing to negotiate on the peace plan, Peskov told reporters on Friday.

US-backed Ukraine peace plan: Kiev’s ‘coalition’ in scramble mode (LIVE UPDATES) 1/2
In an address on his Telegram, Vladimir Zelensky has told Ukrainians of a choice between “the difficult 28 points, or a very difficult winter”
The surprise submission of a peace planto a weakened Vladimir Zelensky by the US on Thursday, together with the overnight publication of an alleged draft text,has forced Kiev's European backers into what Western media is widely calling an 'emergency' response.
Zelensky has addressed Ukrainians in a ten-minute video on his Telegram channel, citing the necessity to face up to the reported 28-points contained in the US-backed plan, decried by his Western European backers, or “a very difficult winter.”
The Kremlin has refused to get involved in “megafone diplomacy,” following a series of loud proclamations of defiance from Brussels on Friday morning. European CouncilPresident Antonio Costa openly admitted that the EU has not been told about the plan, which has reportedly been backed by US President Donald Trump.
Zelensky has also held an ‘emergency’ call with French President Emmanuel Macon, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and German Chancellor Friederich Merz.(KEK he calls the losers that can’t run their own countries, good luck, they all cower in the presence of Trump!)
You can read the text reportedly leaked from Kiev last night here, while below we will bring you up to date with reactions from Moscow, Kiev, Brussels and beyond.

15:01 GMT
According to former Ukrainian security service officer Vasily Prozorov,any attempt by Zelensky to accept a peace deal would be “categorically unacceptable” to what he described as the “war party,” made up of Ukrainian nationalists and actors “under the auspices ofGreat Britain,”which he said “is interested in continuing this war.”
Prozorov claimed that in such a scenario,the “easiest option” for these forces would be Zelensky’s elimination, which could then be blamed on Russia. “They will announce that he died heroically at the hands of the Russian soldiers or under drone fire,” Prozorov said
14:59 GMT
Zelensky is also reported to have spoken to US Vice President J.D. Vance in the last hour— around the same time as he delivered his address acknowledging thechoice between “the difficult 28 points, or a very difficult winter.”

The framework is modeled on NATO’s Article 5, stating that an attack on one shall be deemed an attack on all.
"The United States affirms that a significant, deliberate, and sustained armed attack by the Russian Federation across the agreed armistice line into Ukrainian territoryshall be regarded as an attack threatening the peace and security of the transatlantic community. In such an event,the President of the United States shall, in exercise of constitutional authority and after immediate consultations with Ukraine, NATO, and European partners, determine the measures necessary to restore security,"according to the text published by Axios reporter Barak Ravid.

Axios reporter Barak Ravid, who has been at the forefront of leaks from the US on peace plan developments has published what he claims is the full text of the US draft proposal for an Ukraine security guarantee.
14:50 GMT
Zelensky has addressed the nation in a video published on his Telegram channel, commenting upon Trump's peace plan.
This is one of the most difficult moments in our history. The pressure on Ukraine is now one of the most difficult.Ukraine could face a very difficult choice: the loss of dignity or the threat of losing a key partner. Either the difficult 28 points, or a very difficult winter,” he said.
He claimed that he plans to amend the plan to ensure it reflects “the honor and dignity of Ukrainians.”
14:39 GMT
Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has called on Ukraine’s European backers not to undermine US peace efforts.
He highlighted the damage the EU economy has taken after cutting ties with Russia, sayingHungary has already lost a lot because of “a war we have nothing to do with.”
14:30 GMT
Ukrainian officials already appear to be at odds over the US peace plan. While Zelensky has publicly said he is willing to negotiate with Trump, Kiev’s officials at the UN have already rejected several key clauses out of hand.
During a UN Security Council meeting on Thursday, Kiev’s deputy permanent representative, Khristina Gayovyshyn, insisted “there will never be any recognition – formal or otherwise” of any former Ukrainian territories as part of Russia.
“Our land is not for sale,” Gayovyshyn stated,adding that Ukraine will also “not accept any limits… on the size and capabilities of its armed forces.”
14:29 GMT

Kiev removed anti-corruption clause from US peace plan – WSJ
A point on auditing foreign aid was reportedly replaced with wording on a broad amnesty
Ukraine removed a key anti-corruption clause from the US-drafted peace proposalby eliminating an audit of international aid, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing a senior US official.
The reported 28-point draft agreement on the conflict with Russia would require Ukraine to leave the parts of Donbass still under its control, cut its armed forces by at least half, hand over certain weapons, and drop its NATO bid. Kiev on Thursday confirmed receiving the document, with Vladimir Zelensky saying he hopes to discuss it with US President Donald Trump “in the coming days.”
According to the Wall Street Journal,the original text required that “Ukraine will conduct a comprehensive review of all assistance received and will establish a legal mechanism to address discovered violations and punish those who benefited illegally from the war.” Thenew version instead grants “full amnesty for all actions committed during the war,” replacing the accountability clause. The official reportedly said Ukraine requested the change.
The reported draft plan has faced pushback from Ukraine’s EU backers, who insisted any deal must align with both EU and Ukrainian positionsand argued the US proposal included “no concessions” from Russia.
The Kremlin said it “remains open” to talks but claimed Kiev aims to prolong the fighting with EU backing.
The WSJ report comes as a major corruption scandal continues to roil Ukraine. Last week, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) announced an investigation into what it called a “high-level criminal organization” allegedly led by Timur Mindich, a former business associate of Zelensky. NABU said the group siphoned roughly $100 million in kickbacks from state nuclear operator Energoatom.
Ukrainian media earlier published what they said was an official NABU charging document naming several officials allegedly influenced by Mindich. The leaked text says Mindich urged former Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov – now secretary of the National Security and Defense Council – to bypass quality checks on body armour in which he had a financial stake, warning that “big money” was at risk. It also states that Mindich relied on his “friendly relations” with Zelensky,with former the energy and justice minister, German Galushchenko, allegedly promoting his interests before resigning after charges were filed.

Zelensky covering up ‘dire’ frontline situation – Moscow
The Ukrainian leader has banned the military from admitting the loss of key towns, Russia’s UN envoy has said
Vladimir Zelensky has barred the Ukrainian military from admitting the loss of key towns to Russia, Moscow’s envoy to the United Nations, Vassily Nebenzia, has said.This is being done to hide the actual situation on the ground in the hopes that the flow of Western aid to Kiev remains unhindered, he suggested.
On Thursday, the chief of Russia's General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, told President Vladimir Putinthat Russian forces have liberated the key logistics hub of Kupyansk in Ukraine’s Kharkov Region.
The Ukrainian General Staff, however, has claimed that the city remains under the control of Kiev’s troops.
Zelensky had previously denied the encirclement of Ukrainian forcesin Kupyansk and as well as in Dmitrov-Krasnoarmeysk (Mirnograd-Pokrovsk), an urban area in Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), accusing Moscow of exaggerating its gains on the battlefield.
During his speech at a UN Security Council meeting on Thursday, Nebenzia insisted thatthe situation on the front line for Ukraine “remains dire, if not catastrophic. Russian troops are successfully advancing on essentially all fronts.”
“Despite the encirclement of a significant number of Ukrainian troops, massive losses, forced mobilization, and threats to civilians,the head of the Kiev regime forbids acknowledging the loss of cities, orders his troops to hold their positions ‘until the last soldier,’ and bans retreat,” he said.
According to the envoy, the policy pursued by theKiev government has “nothing to do with military reality and is purely political in nature.”
“Zelensky wants to show his Western sponsors that the front is holding,because he counts on continued funding for his war with Russia. He needs billions of dollars to keep the war going for him and his cronies to line their pockets and stay in power,” Nebenzia stressed.
Last week, the Western-backed National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) announced a probe into a “high-level criminal organization” allegedly led by Timur Mindich, a former business partner of Zelensky. Its members are suspected of siphoning around $100 million in kickbacks from state-owned nuclear operator Energoatom.
The graft scandal has led to the sacking of Ukraine’s energy and justice ministers, with other prominent figures such as Zelensky’s right-hand man, Andrey Yermak, and the head of the National Security Council Rustem Umerov also being linked to the scheme.
(So Kiev is sacrificing his soldiers to cover up for all the losses they have from the war.Down to the last Ukrainianwasn’t a motto it was a pledge)

White House slams Ramaphosa for ‘running his mouth’
The US will still not attend the G20 in South Africa, contrary to what its president has said, according to Donald Trump’s press Secretary
The White House hassharply rebuked South African President Cyril Ramaphosa after he claimed that Washington had reversed its decision and would take part in this weekend’s G20 summit in Johannesburg.
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt referenced a recentNew York Times report stating that the US planned to send its acting ambassador in South Africa, Marc Dillard, to the summit this weekend.
Ramaphosa told journalists on Thursday thatPretoria had received notice from Washington concerning its change of mindabout participating “in one shape or form or other” in the meeting.
Leavitt dismissed the South African leader’s claims as false, insisting that the US would not take part in official talks at the gathering.
“I saw the South African president running his mouth a little bit against the United States and the president of the United States, and that language is not appreciated by the president or his team,” she said.
The spokeswoman said the acting ambassador would appear at the summit “simply” in connection with the formal handover of the rotating G20 presidency to Washington.
“They are receiving that send-off at the end of the event. They are not there to participate in official talks despite what the South African president is falsely claiming,” Leavitt stated.
Relations between Washington and Pretoria have deteriorated since US President Donald Trump took office in January.Trump has cited South Africa’s alleged genocide against white farmers as his reason for refusing to attend the first G20 leaders’ summitto be hosted on African soil. (It’s surprising to me other countries are attending.)
Last week, Ramaphosa said Washington’s decision to boycott the gatheringwas “their loss”and that he does not want to hand over the presidency to “an empty chair.”
On Thursday, he told reporters that a joint declaration will be issued regardless of US absence.
Even without the US, the whole process of the G20 “is moving forward. We will not be bullied. We will not agree to be bullied,” the president declared. (Ramaphosa just kick started the war from the west. Almost all the 20 countries condemned Irael for killing the Palestinians, but none will condemn South Africa from killing white farmers.

EU rejects US-proposed Ukraine peace plan
(The EU wasn’t asked their opinion, they can moan all they want, they will not change a thing.)
Brussels has insisted that any deal should reflect the positions of the bloc and of Kiev (she fails to say the U.S. contributions were much higher than the EU, both monetarily and arms and military plans)
The European Union has pushed back against the latest US-proposed plan to end the Ukraine conflict, saying any settlement must reflect the positions of both Brussels and Kiev. (Once again the U.S. did not ask their opinion!)
The 28-point draft framework agreement, which Western media claim was developed in coordination with Moscow, would reportedly require Ukraine to withdraw from the parts of the new Russian regions in Donbass still under Kiev’s control, cut its armed forces by at least half, surrender some weaponry and abandon its NATO ambitions. Kiev on Thursday confirmed receiving the proposal, with Vladimir Zelensky saying he hopes to discuss it with US President Donald Trump “in the coming days.”
The draft plan has drawn criticism from Kiev’s supporters in the EU, who appear to have been caught off guardand convened a meeting in Brussels on Thursday. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas insisted that any peace arrangement must reflect the positions of both the bloc and Ukraine,arguing that the US proposal offered “no concessions” from the Russian side. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot was quoted by Reuters as saying that any agreement must not amount to a “capitulation,” while several other ministers reportedly saidthey had not seen the document and would need clarification before commenting.
Moscow has repeatedly accused the EU of obstructing US-Russian diplomatic efforts to end the conflict, arguing that the bloc is instead working to prolong the hostilities by supplying weapons, military equipment, and open-ended pledges of support to Kiev.
According to Germany’s Kiel Institute,the EU has committed over €65 billion ($75 billion) in aid to Ukraine since the escalationof the conflict in 2022, with total pledges nearing €98 billion.
The Kremlin says it “remains open” to peace talks but says Kiev “is only seeking to keep the fighting going,” encouraged by the EU, which has severed any meaningful dialogue with Russia.
Russian Foreign Minister SergeyLavrov has said that EU states are now trying to elbow their way into the peace process despite what he called their openly hostile stance toward Russia – a “position of revanchism” that he believes should preclude the bloc from having a seat at the negotiating table.
https://www.rt.com/news/628078-eu-rejects-ukraine-peace-plan/
Remember when a bunch of EU countries and Usrsula came to the WH to convince Trump they should be involved with Ukraine negotiations, andTrump gave them a 8 hour tour in the WH, and lecture and then he said NO.)

CIA ‘boasted’ about tricking Congress in JFK probe – Axios
The US spy agency misled congressional investigators about John F. Kennedy’s alleged assassin, according to a whistleblower cited by the outlet
CIA officials misled the US Congress about the movements of the man accused of killing President John F. Kennedy shortly before the assassination and boasted about doing so,Axios has reported, citing former CIA-State Department historian turned whistleblower Thomas Pearcy.
For decades, activists and researchers have demanded full disclosure of all records related to Kennedy’s killing on November 22, 1963. Many have questioned whether Lee Harvey Oswald, the man charged with the murder, acted alone or was even responsible.
The still-classified document described by Pearcy – in a CIA inspector general’s report – allegedly shows how intelligence officials “routinely have covered up facts and records”about Kennedy’s assassination.
According to the whistleblower, the report functioned as a CIA damage assessment examining how the agency’s reputation had been affected by the House Select Committee on Assassinations(HSCA), which reopened the JFK investigation in the late 1970s.
Pearcy said the file included a 1978 memo in which a CIA officer bragged that he and two colleagues misled HSCA chief counsel Robert Blakey by presenting him with sanitized versions of the Mexico City Station filesconnected to Oswald. The investigation eventually ruled that JFK was “probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy” though it could not identify who else might have been involved.
Oswald allegedly visited Mexico City in late September 1963, seeking visas from the Cuban Consulate and the Soviet Embassy that would allow him to travel to Cuba and potentially on to the USSR. He was monitored by US intelligence because both missions were under routine CIA surveillance.
The historian said that he found the report by accident in 2009 while working in a secure CIA room. He also recalled seeing references to photos, cameras, andpossibly film labeled “Oswald in Mexico,” despite the CIA’s longstanding denial that such material exists.
Researchers are now pressing the agency to release the document as the 62nd anniversary of Kennedy’s assassination approaches, Axios said.A CIA spokesperson told the outlet the agency would attempt to locate the report.(which means fuck off again, even though Pearcy found the files.)
After taking office, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order for full disclosure of JFK files.
https://www.rt.com/news/628079-cia-tricked-congress-jfk-investigation/
(Ratcliffe is useless there, he has no power to lead the agency. Trump should assign truthful CIA retirees to assist him. He will never know when they lie, which is their standard mode.)

Truth about Donbass pushed out of public view – EU historian (VIDEO)
Italian historian Angelo D’Orsi has told RT his censored Russophobia lecture drew far more people after being blocked
An Italian historian has spoken out after a proposed public lecture on Russophobia was censored by a local political party, due to his views on the situation in Russia’s Donbass.
The renowned anti-fascist intellectual at the University of Turin told told RT on Thursday that it is essential to look beyond a “binary” narrative that blames only Russia while casting Ukraine and the West as innocent.
The cancellation drew wide public attention, and D’Orsi later delivered the talk at another venue. Hundreds attended in person, with more listening outside on speakers. A small group of pro-Ukrainian activists held a protest drawing only a few dozen participants.
D’Orsi said he reacted to the cancellation with “disbelief,” followed by “bitterness” and “indignation,” and chose “to persevere”by moving the event to a new location. “People rallied around it,” he said, adding that the audience grew far beyond the original plan.
“Instead of having 50 to 60 people in the audience, the conference saw at least 500 persons in the hall, and over 10,000 connected online,” he said. “So, this way I turned a defeat into a resounding victory.”
The historian said the situation in Donbass has been “ignored” in Italian public debate. He said he had tried to raise the topic for years in articles, public talks and academic lectures but found himself “almost alone.” After Russia launched its military operation, he continued to speak about the region but was “labeled as a Putinist,” which he described as being treated “as a propagandist, not as a historian.”
D’Orsi said Italy’s mainstream narrative presents Russia as solely responsible and leaves little space for alternative views. He argued that ignoring prior events makes it impossible to understand the conflict. He was referring to the Western-backed coup in Kiev in 2014, after which the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) and the neighboring Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) broke away from Ukraine. Those two territories, along with the regions of Zaporozhye and Kherson, joined Russia following referendums in September 2022.

Dow surges 700 points in big market rebound after steep sell-off this week: Live updates(blah, blah, blah trying to hurt Trumps economy)
Sean Conlon
Pia Singh
U.S. equities rebounded Friday after New York Federal Reserve President John Williams suggested the central bank could cut interest rates yet again this year.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average
gained 709 points, or 1.6%. The S&P 500
gained 1.3%, while the Nasdaq Composite
advanced 1.1%.
“I view monetary policy as being modestly restrictive, although somewhat less so than before our recent actions,” Williams said in remarks for a speech in Santiago, Chile. “Therefore, I still see room for a further adjustment in the near term to the target range for the federal funds rate to move the stance of policy closer to the range of neutral, thereby maintaining the balance between the achievement of our two goals.”
The comments by a notable Fed member like Williams signaled to investors that central bank leadership is likely to lower its benchmark overnight borrowing rate at its upcoming December meeting. This led traders to raise bets that the central bank would, in fact, cut next month for the third time in 2025.
Fed funds futures are currently pricing in around a 70% chance of a quarter percentage point cut, a spike from the less than 40% likelihood priced in the day before, according to the CME FedWatch tool.
Stocks that could benefit the most from lower rates, which may spur consumer spending, led the market comeback. These included Home Depot
, Starbucks
and McDonald’s
. Investors hope easier monetary policy can revive a sluggish economy and justify historically high tech-stock valuations.
“We think there definitely should be a cut,” Jay Hatfield, Infrastructure Capital Advisors founder and CEO, said in an interview with CNBC. “It’s going to depend on the next … employment report. It would have to be pretty weak, I think, to convince people to cut.”
Wall Street is coming off a brutal market reversal in the last session. The Dow at one point on Thursday rose more than 700 points as investors cheered a blockbuster Nvidia fiscal third-quarter earnings report. The benchmark, along with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite, ended the day sharply lower as the Nvidia rally fizzled and worries grew that the Fed would stand pat in December on rates.
Even with Friday’s moves, the three major averages are still headed for big losses this week. The S&P 500 is down around 2% week to date, as is the 30-stock Dow. The Nasdaq has shed about 3%.
When speaking about the recent pressure, Hatfield believes that “this is a normal, seasonal, post-earnings valuation pullback,” adding that “the bubbles portion of the market [is] getting annihilated.”
That includes bitcoin
, which dropped roughly 2% Friday, putting its week-to-date losses at more than 10%. The cryptocurrency has fallen to levels not seen since April as investors have pulled back on their risk-taking in the market.
“The only real question is, ‘Where do we bottom out at?’” the CEO said about the broader market.
