CIA ‘unhappy’ with COVID whistleblower hearing: ‘Political theater’

Fox News congressional correspondent Bill Melugin discusses the CIA’s response to the COVID whistleblower hearing and the absence of Senate Democrats from the testimony (why is the CIA so upset for revealing how Fauci interfered with the truth they were going to release? They should be willing to expose Fauci as a mass killer of mankind! CIA is basically covering their asses to allow Fauci to lie. Question if Fauci was pardoned by a fake president Bidan, autopen fake can’t that be nullified?)

Anons this is seriously insane. These are NATO countries that are supposed to protect each other, but now they want to pay Zelensky, Ukraine to be their protection.Sorry for all the red, but “The Mafia head Zelensky and Ukraine collected a lot of serious dirt on all this EU countries, and now they are paying off Zelensky. On day one, of the war with Russia and Ukraine, I was on the board and I said, Ukraine had collected really evil dirt on every EU Leaders and country, and the CIA and Ukraine Mafia, were running a blackmailing operation on all of of EU and world leaders to force them in this war! I was right.)

How much? NATO chief calls for ‘Ukraine tax’ bigger than members’ economies

Mark Rutte wants totriple military aid to Zelensky, with Western taxpayers footing the bill

Published 14 May, 2026 15:47

(The NWO order will never change their plans, even if they steal the food from their citizens, and their countries go broke)

NATO Secretary-General Mark Ruttewants NATO members to cough up 0.25% of their GDP for Ukraine. This figure seems minuscule,but how muchhard-earned taxpayer money does it add up to?

Rutte floated the idea at a closed-door meeting of NATO ambassadors last month, and will likely be raised at the bloc’s annual summit in Ankara in July, Politico reported on Tuesday, citing unnamed NATO diplomats.

How much money does Rutte want to give Ukraine?

The combined GDP of NATO’s 32 member states adds up to $57.2 trillion, according to the bloc’s figures from 2025.

Assuming that the US backs Rutte’sproposal,Ukraine stands to receive a windfall of $143 billion, or more thanthree timesthe amount of military aid it received from its Western donors last year. (Trump will never approve this, Rutte knows this, so he can go back to Zelensky and say, “we tried but mean old Trump wouldn’t approve it? They are not asking him first because they don’t Trump to know this.)

To put Rutte’s demand in perspective, $143 billion is:

Roughly equal to Russia’s entire yearly defense budget (around $145 billion)

• $16 billion more than Germany’s 2026 defense budget. ($127 billion)

• Larger than thecombined economies of Latvia and Lithuania. ($130 billion)

•Four timeswhat the US spent on developing the atomic bomb ($35.5 billion, adjusted for inflation)

• Almostsix times, what theUS has spent on the war with Iranto date ($25 billion)

Enough to buy more Patriot missile batteries than currently exist (around 200)

•This princelysum is separate to the 5% of GDP that NATO requires its members to spend on their own militaries, And separate to theunrepayable, debt-financed loanof €90 billion ($105 billion) that the EU has already started to funnel toKiev.

Whose idea was this?

Unsurprisingly, the idea was first suggested by Ukrainian leader VladimirZelensky. “Ukraine is part of Europe’s security, andwe want 0.25% of the GDPof a particular partner country to be allocated to our defense industry and domestic production,” he told reporters last June.

Is every NATO member on board?

Rutte’s aim is to balance military aid to Ukraine among member states, as to date, Nordic countries like Denmark and Baltic countries have been making outsized contributions compared to some of the bloc’s larger economies.Denmark, for example, has given 3.25% of its entire GDP to Kiev since 2022, whileGermanyhas given 0.55%. On the lower end of the scale,Hungaryhas giventhe smallest shareof any NATO country at 0.04%.

France and the UK are reportedly unhappy with the proposal, even though both nations already exceed the 0.25% target. London and Paris both refused to comment when contacted by Politico. Furthermore, some unnamed EU countries reportedly want their contributions to the aforementioned €90 billion EU loan counted towards Rutte’s target.

Where will the money go?

Western military aid to Ukraine istypically spent on purchasing weapons from abroad, paying military salaries, and the research, development, and manufacture of arms within Ukraine.Zelensky insists that the money will go to Ukraine’s defense industryand domestic production –a sector that is a hotbed of corruption and graft.

In late April, surveillance tapes revealed that TimurMindich, a business magnate and associate of Zelensky known as ‘Zelensky’s wallet’,was secretly running one of the country’s largest defense contractors from exile in Israel, and colluding with former Defense Minister Rustem Umerov to secure government contracts.

All but one of Ukraine’s wartime defense chiefs have been tied to corruption and bid-rigging scandals, Mindich is wanted on separate embezzlement charges, and Zelensky’s former chief of staff, Andrey Yermak, was arrested in May and accused of aconnected money laundering scheme.

It will likely be up to individual donor countries to stipulate how their 0.25% is spent. However, RT has already covered some of theendemic rot within the Ukrainian defense sector, and the picture so far suggests that whatever the Western taxpayer sends to Kiev, there is no telling how much will be skimmed off the top along the way.

(I thought Ukraine was making millions and millions by selling their drones around the world, why would EU give them more money.Oh yeah, the EU leaders are all getting a cut in Zepensky’s and Ukraines’s profits; now they are one big Mafia’

BRICS nations must shatter US ‘sense of impunity’ – Iranian FM

“Declining imperialist powers” are desperately trying to reverse the shift toward multipolarity, Seyed Abbas Araghchi has said

Published 14 May, 2026 17:42 |

BRICS member states must join forces to counter the US´ growing “sense of superiority and impunity==,” Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said on Thursday.

Speaking at the BRICS foreign ministers’ meeting in New Delhi, Araghchi said that while Iran has twice come under US-Israeli aggression over the past year, many other member countries of the economic group have also faced “hateful pressure and coercion” from Washington.

“We cannot ignore the common and dangerous threat we all face,” he said.

The group “should become one of the main pillars in shaping” a fairer global order, in which the Global South plays a more prominent role, Araghchi argued.

He warned that “declining imperialist powers seek to turn back time and, in their fall, act aggressively” as they desperately attempt to reverse the trend toward multipolarity and preserve their hegemony. The Iranian official cited the increasingly unabashed engagement of Western powers in “horrific genocides [and] shocking violations of national sovereignty.”

While BRICS has to date largely positioned itself as an economic partnership, certain suggestions have been floated in recent months that point to potential security cooperation within the bloc.

Soon after the start of the US-Israeli aggression against Iran, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva called on fellow BRICS member South Africa to boost defense cooperation and reduce their reliance on foreign arms. During a meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in March, Lula warned that both countries could become vulnerable to “invasion.”

(Russia is the last country that join the pathetic fight, his relationship with Trump and America is much better than under Bidan that started the bullshit. And they hold this meeting while Trump is in China. They all fail to remember that America is free because we defeated the imperialist in our own country. Little insults like imperialist doesn’t offend us. Iran is run by the London imperialists.)

Zelensky unable to save his ex-aide – Ukrainian MP

The case against Andrey Yermak has already dealt a major blow to Kiev’s “criminal, terrorist system,” Artyom Dmitruk has said

Published 14 May, 2026 17:17

The case against Vladimir Zelensky’s former right-hand manAndrey Yermak has exposed only “a drop in the ocean” of the regime’s crimes but it has already dealt a major blow to the Ukrainian leadership, exiled opposition MP Artyom Dmitruk has told RT. Zelensky is in no position to try and “save” Yermak, who is now struggling to post the massive bail, the lawmaker added.

Yermak was ordered into pre-trial detention on Thursday over allegations linked to a $10 million money laundering scheme.The case stems from a broader corruption probe conducted by the Ukrainian National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) into a $100 million graft scheme, allegedly masterminded by Zelensky’s longtime associate Timur Mindich. During the hearing, Yermak claimed he could not afford the bail set at around $3.2 million and announced plans to challenge the decision in an appeal.

Speaking to RT shortly after the ruling, Dmitruk said the Yermak affair has dealt a major blow to Zelensky and his regime, despite the allegationsagainst the ex-aide being “just a drop in the ocean” of crimescommitted by the Ukrainian leadership.

“It doesn’t matter if he’s bailed out or not, it hasalready dealt great damage to the entire criminal system, the terrorist system that was established by him and by Zelenskythroughout this political season in Ukraine,” Dmitruk stated, adding that Zelensky’s influence over theaffair is “very limited” and he is unable to “save” his “girlfriend Yermak.”

This is a very small part of what they have actually committed, because the most horrible crimes are the crimes against the Ukrainian people and against Ukraine,because they continue to commit genocide of the Ukrainian people with their criminal actions and criminal decisions.

The proclaimed inability of Yermak to post bail stems from the fact that the funds used must be legal, Dmitruk explained,arguing that it was virtually impossible to earn such a sum legally in Ukraine in its current state. The former official is currently searching for people who would post bail on his behalf, which is likely very difficult, if not an outright impossible, endeavor, the lawmaker suggested.

“It is important to say that those people, even if they go through with this, those people who will bail him out,they will unavoidably be held responsible for what they committed when they assisted, when they supported a criminal, and they would be investigated where these funds came from,” Dmitruk warned.

Gulf states attacked Iraq amid waning faith in US – Reuters

Saudi Arabia and Kuwait reportedly struck militia targets after attacks linked to the Iran conflict

Published 14 May, 2026 11:12 | Updated

Saudi Arabia and Kuwait conductedcovert strikes on targets in Iraq linked to Iranian-backed paramilitary groups during the Middle East war, Reuters reported on Wednesday.

According to the outlet,the strikes marked an independent response to attacks on Gulf states’ territoryamid fading trust in the US security umbrella.

Kuwait and Saudi Arabia – both hosting major US military bases – came under missile and drone attacks as Iran retaliated against the US-Israeli campaign launched in late February.However, hundreds of the drones targeting the nations reportedly originated from Iraq, including from Kataib Hezbollah – a Tehran-linked paramilitary group operating in the south of the country.

Saudi fighter jets struck Iranian-linked militia targets in Iraq in the run-up to the US-Iran ceasefire reached in early April, Reuters reported. Iraqi sources also claimed missiles were launched at least twice from Kuwaiti territory on Kataib Hezbollah positions.

Saudi Arabia and Kuwait warned Baghdad in March to curb attacks by pro-Iranian militias, Reuters added. Iraqi forces reportedly intercepted some attempted strikes and seized a rocket launcher west of Basra allegedly aimed at Saudi energy infrastructure.

Kuwait summoned Iraq’s representative three times over cross-border attacksduring the war, while Saudi Arabia summoned Iraq’s ambassador last month.

Neither country acknowledged strikes on Iraqi targets or responded to requests for comment.

Earlier reportsclaimed Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates also carried out covert strikes on Iranitself in what sources described as “tit-for-tat” retaliation for attacks on their infrastructure. Neither Riyadh nor Tehran officially acknowledged those operations. According to a Financial Times report on Wednesday, Qatar also considered retaliatory strikes after Iran hit its Ras Laffan facility, but ultimately opted for diplomacy.

For decades, Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states – Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Oman – hosted US bases and bought vast amounts of American weapons in exchange for security guarantees. Analysts, however, say their growing willingness to retaliate on their own reflects mounting frustration with the US for launching the conflict without consultation or a long-term strategy, while leaving the nations exposed to Iranian retaliation.

“The most fundamental question is one of consultation.=Are the Gulf states actually achieving the kind of partnership and security support that they feel is necessary if the United States is going to engage militarily in the region,” Khaled Almezaini, an associate professor of politics at Zayed University in Abu Dhabi, recently told The Guardian.

Long-term, analysts say the conflict has raised uncomfortable questions for Gulf monarchies about whether US bases – and reliance on Washington more broadly – are a security asset or a liability.

Netanyahu reveals secret UAE visit

The revelation deepens what is known about the Emirates’ in/volvement in the war on Iran

Published 13 May, 2026 18:55 | Updated

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a secret visit to the United Arab Emirates at the height of the US-Israeli war on Iran, his office revealed on Wednesday.The visit coincides with the UAE receiving Iron Dome air defense batteries from Israel.

Netanyahu met with UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed during the visit, which took place at an undisclosed time during the conflict, Netanyahu’s office said in a statement, addingthat the trip “led to a historic breakthrough in relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.”

While Netanyahu’s office did not elaborate on this “breakthrough,” it is likely that some kind of military cooperation was discussed, as US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee confirmed this week that Israel had recently sent “Iron Dome batteries and personnel” to the Emirates.

The Emirati Foreign Ministry denied that Netanyahu had made an undeclared visit to the country.Relations with Israel are “not based on secrecy or covert arrangements,”the ministry added.

The extent of this cooperation was reported by the Wall Street Journal this week. According to the newspaper,the UAE secretly carried out multiple attacks on Iranian infrastructure and military sites throughout the war, including strikes on a refinery on Iran’s Lavan Island in early April, around the time that US President Donald Trump was announcing a ceasefire and negotiations with Iran.

The attack was reportedly coordinated with Israel, and came after multiple secret visits by Mossad Director David Barnea to the UAE.

The UAE has not acknowledged the attacks, nor has its government commented on visits from Barnea or Netanyahu.

The UAE’s Foreign Ministry said in January that it would not allow the US or Israel to use its airspace to attack Iran. However, Tehran claimed that the American jets that attacked an elementary school in Minab on the opening day of the war – killing more than 160 schoolgirls – took off from Al Dhafra Air Base in Abu Dhabi. Iranian forces responded by striking Al Dhafra, as well as US infrastructure at Jebel Ali Port in Dubai.

Iran pummeled targets across the UAE with more than 2,000 missiles and drones in the following weeks, while Tehran accused the Emirates of cooperating with “hostile parties” in the war.

Amid the fragile ceasefire, the UAE last week accused Iran of striking its territory, setting an oil facility in Fujairah ablazeand wounding three people. The US has not condemned the attack, likely in an effort to ensure that the truce holds.

EU buys record volumes of Russian LNG – report

Imports surged 16% in Q1 2026 amid the US-Israeli war on Iran, according to industry think-tank IEEFA

Published 13 May, 2026 17:06

The EU’s imports of Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG)has reached a record high this year, amid the growing energy crisis triggered by the US-Israeli war on Iran, according to a report by a US-based energy think tank.

The Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) reports that thebloc’s imports jumped 16% year on year in January-March, with France, Spain, and Belgium accounting for most deliveries. Russia remains the EU’s second-largest LNG supplier,despite the bloc aiming to phase out Russian fossil fuels by 2027, it noted.

EU countries spent €5.9 billion ($6.9 billion) on Russian pipeline gas and €6.7 billion on Russian LNG in 2025, according to the report. Russia accounted for about 13% of the EU’s combined natural gas and LNG imports in 2025, according to previous data.

IEEFA said that the rise in imports was partly driven by disruptions in global LNG marketslinked to reduced maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, which curtailed Qatari exports and increased the EU’s reliance on other major suppliers.

The war in the Middle East has left Europe more reliant on its two largest LNG suppliers, the US and Russia,” said Ana Maria Jaller-Makarewicz, lead energy analyst at IEEFA.

The report said that the EU is risking a dependence on American LNG as Washington looks set to overtake Norway as the bloc’s largest gas supplier in 2026 and could account for 80% of EU LNG imports by 2028. American LNG is on average the most expensive for European buyers, the report added.

The latest developmentshave prompted some EU politicians to step up calls to reconsider sanctions on Russia. Despite growing political pressure over energy costs, however, EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen has insisted the bloc will continue phasing out Russian LNG imports and expand purchases from alternative suppliers, including the US.

Moscow, meanwhile, has argued that European countries will eventually be forced to restore energy ties with Russia. Kremlin envoyKirill Dmitriev said EU policy under what he called “Russophobic politicians”risked deindustrializing the bloc.

https://www.rt.com/business/639951-eu-russian-gas-imports/

The whole idea of EU cutting off LNG from Russia was started by Rutte, one of the stupidest things to do, is listen to him. He’s a corrupt war monger that stated for years that Russia will start WWIII for years, so they had to go to war on them. to ramp that idea that the EU could invade and conquer Russia. Rutte has to be expelled and never have power again. He created and boosted Russiaphobia.

No, The CIA Did Not Raid DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s Office

May 14, 2026 | Sundance |

Good grief. I cannot believe people actually believed this story as presented. Yes, the CIA is sketchy; however, no, the CIA did not raid the office of the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, taking boxes of JFK and MK Ultra files.

Oliva Coleman is Tulsi Gabbard’s spokesperson. The story is fake news.

Was there friction and opposition within the CIA to DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s office, yes.However, John Ratcliffe and Tulsi Gabbard have been working together for almost a year to address the Machiavellian networkthat operates in the shadows, and they have had remarkable success.

It’s highly likely former CIA embeds were doing some unauthorized surveillance of DNI Gabbard as she came into office. Obviously, she was a threat to their position and influence.However, through a methodical approach at addressing the politically motivated embeds within the entire Intelligence Community, including the CIA, DNI Gabbard has been successful in eliminating most of the corrupt actors.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe would never authorize or allow anything like what was being framed in that outlandish story. It simply did not happen.
