Robert lays out what's really going on in the shadows

'Imminent defeat' and push for a deal w/ Robert Barnes​

 


Seditionist Elissa Slotkin spoke at the Brookings Institute a month ago, predicting an incident involving National Guard. She estimated that it would take place in around two weeks from when she spoke.

Seditionist Maggie Goodlander’s husband Jake Sullivan is closely associated with Brookings. He is the protege of former Brookings President and the Clintons’ buddy Strobe Talbott. Jake Sullivan was Hillary’s closest aide, and Biden NatSec Advisor, who also worked with Obama.

GROK
Summary of the 2025 National Security StrategyThe 2025 National Security Strategy (NSS), issued under President Trump's leadership, presents an "America First" framework aimed at restoring U.S. sovereignty, economic strength, and global preeminence. It critiques prior post-Cold War policies as overambitious and burdensome, advocating a pragmatic, restrained approach that prioritizes core national interests through "peace through strength." The document links clear objectives with available U.S. assets—like its innovative economy, military power, and alliances—to achieve a "new golden age," while rejecting globalism, non-reciprocal alliances, and mass migration.Executive Summary: Key Themes and ObjectivesThe NSS emphasizes protecting American independence, safety, and prosperity by focusing on vital interests: secure borders, a dominant military and economy, energy independence, reindustrialization, and fair alliances. Overarching themes include rejecting endless wars and economic exploitation, fostering hemispheric stability, and countering threats like adversarial dominance and cultural erosion. Objectives: Halt destabilizing migration, achieve technological leadership (e.g., AI, biotech), ensure burden-sharing (e.g., allies committing 5% of GDP to defense), and build prosperity for American workers. A key quote: "The survival and safety of the United States as an independent republic is the overriding end of American strategy."Main Sections
  • Introduction – What Is American Strategy?
    Critiques vague, globalist strategies that offloaded U.S. costs. Praises Trump's first-term corrections (e.g., trade deals, peace accords). Purpose: Define clear ends (what the U.S. wants), means (assets), and a viable plan. Priority: Focus on core interests over peripheral ones.
  • What Should the United States Want?
    Outlines domestic goals (e.g., resilient infrastructure, nuclear deterrent, cultural health) and global aims (e.g., stable hemisphere, open Indo-Pacific, secure Europe). Rejects imposing U.S. values abroad; prioritizes border control and economic reciprocity.
  • What Are America’s Available Means?
    Highlights U.S. strengths: world's largest economy, advanced tech, geography, and patriotic populace. Domestic agenda: Deregulation, tax cuts, energy unleashing, and rooting out "DEI" inefficiencies. Strategy: Leverage these for economic warfare, diplomacy, and deterrence.
  • The Strategy
    • Principles: Pragmatic realism, non-interventionism (high bar for military action), sovereignty respect, balance of power, and merit-based competence. Emphasizes "muscular restraint" and pro-worker policies.
    • Priorities: End mass migration; protect liberties; enforce burden-sharing (e.g., "Hague Commitment"); reindustrialize via tariffs and incentives; achieve energy dominance.
    • The Regions: Targeted, non-exhaustive focus.
      • Western Hemisphere: Enforce "Trump Corollary" to Monroe Doctrine; counter cartels and foreign influence; reward aligned partners with trade/investment.
      • Asia: Deter China (e.g., Taiwan, South China Sea); reverse trade imbalances; strengthen Quad alliances.
      • Europe: End Ukraine war; promote sovereignty and birthrates; support patriotic movements.
      • Middle East: Expand Abraham Accords; shift burdens to allies; avoid nation-building.
      • Africa: Shift to trade partnerships; resolve conflicts via negotiation; secure resources without long-term commitments.
Threats and ChallengesThe NSS identifies multifaceted risks: military aggression (e.g., from China, Iran); hostile influence (espionage, propaganda, fentanyl trafficking); mass uncontrolled migration destabilizing the hemisphere; economic sabotage (IP theft, supply chain vulnerabilities); nuclear proliferation; terrorism; and regional spillovers (e.g., Ukraine, Middle East conflicts). Broader challenges include ally free-riding, energy dependencies, civilizational decline in Europe (e.g., low birthrates), and transnational erosion of sovereignty. Risks from overextension and predatory adversaries controlling chokepoints (e.g., Strait of Hormuz) are highlighted, with a warning: "A world on fire is not in America's interest."Policy Pillars and FrameworksThe strategy rests on 11 pillars: (1) "America First" prioritization; (2) Peace through strength (economic/military deterrence); (3) Focused national interests; (4) Non-interventionist predisposition; (5) Flexible realism in relations; (6) Primacy of sovereign nations; (7) Sovereignty protection; (8) Balance of power to prevent hegemony; (9) Pro-worker prosperity; (10) Fairness in alliances/trade; (11) Competence via meritocracy. Frameworks include unconventional diplomacy (e.g., brokering eight peace deals in Trump's first term), economic tools (tariffs, export controls), and regional realignments without imposing regime change.Implementation and ConclusionImplementation relies on presidential leadership, interagency coordination (e.g., NSC for migration/threat monitoring), and tools like tariffs, alliances (e.g., 5% GDP defense pledges), military redeployments, and public-private investments (e.g., via Export-Import Bank). Resources: U.S. dollar dominance, capital markets, and conditional aid/weapons sales. The conclusion ties assets to action, asserting Trump's approach will deliver peace and greatness: "With focused strategy, connected ends and means, and the right leadership, America will be greater than ever." No new institutions are proposed; emphasis is on agility and merit.

 


🚨 Heritage Foundation exposes Hillary Clinton was directly behind getting the European Union to use their Digital Services Act to pressure Elon Musk and America back into censorship
‌
Hillary Clinton flew overseas for a meeting to facilitate this against America
‌
“They (The European Union) gathered in Berlin, and it was the most anti-free speech gathering I've ever been part of — Hillary Clinton was there, and she really fueled the anger.
‌
When Twitter was purchased by Elon Musk, she called on the EU to use the infamous Digital Services Act, which is one of the most anti-free speech pieces of legislation in decades. And she called upon the EU to use the DSA (Digital Services Act) to force the censorship of American citizens, force people like Musk to censor.
It's an extraordinary act by someone who was once a presidential candidate”

The BRICS + are maneuvering/positioning themselves for a continuing trade/tariff war with the USA & in anticipation of the Implosion/Reset of the worlds current Financial system that is soaked with $350 TRILLION in unsustainable DEBT !

The Western Developed economies are Broke/Insolvent/Bankrupt ( or however u want to word/phrase it ) & are only staying afloat on this sea of DEBT by printing money ( more Debt ) to pay just the Interest on their DEBTS ! & Spend even more money that they don't have.

The example of the " Addict " is appropriate :- The addiction ( Fiat Currency ) starts out manageable & the dosage increases at a moderate/manageable level. But then the addict is not feeling the same effects of his drug as when he 1'st started out. So he now up's the dosage by larger & increasingly large amounts. Then the problems start. To even maintain a steady feeling the dosages increases. But the higher dosages are coming at significant cost. Life now becomes a significant burden of finding increasing dosages & managing the higher & higher cost & effort in obtaining the dosages needed.

A day will come when the dosage taken proves just a little to much to handle. A collapse occurs. Will rescue arrive & be able to revive ? or will collapse be terminal ?

Maybe we are soon to see if the worlds financial system is RESCUABLE or TERMINAL !

Exclusive: US threatens new ICC sanctions unless court pledges not to prosecute Trump​

  • Washington wary of ICC action against Trump, officials after his term ends in 2029
  • US also wants ICC to drop probes into Israeli leaders and US troops
  • ICC's jurisdiction includes prosecuting sitting heads of state for alleged crimes
WASHINGTON, Dec 10 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's administration wants the International Criminal Court to amend its founding document to ensure it does not investigate the Republican president and his top officials, a Trump administration official said, threatening new U.S. sanctions on the court if it did not.

If the court does not act on this U.S. demand and two others - dropping investigations of Israeli leaders over the Gaza war and formally ending an earlier probe of U.S. troops over their actions in Afghanistan - Washington may penalize more ICC officials and could sanction the court itself, the official said.

Here it is:

The damning email obtained by King Solomon through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

CONFIRMS:
The Central Intelligence Agency conspired and succeeded in the overthrow of the United States government on November 3, 2020.

In a stunning exchange, CIA Director Mike Morell turns to fellow Director John Brennan and asks if he would join in toppling the United States government during the November 3, 2020 election. Brennan not only agrees—but also expresses his gratitude.

CIA Mike Morell: “Can I add your name to this list? Will be adding Leon Panetta, Sue Gordon, Jeh Johnson, George, Lisa Monaco, and Mike Rogers. And working on adding Dan Coats, Mike Rogers (HPSCI), and Tom Bossert. And lots of other IC career folk.

“Trying to give the incapacitated vegetable, particularly during the debate on Thursday, a talking point to push back on Trump on this issue.”

CIA John Brennan; “Ok Michael, add my name to the list. Good initiative. Thanks for asking me to sign on.”

🚨🇺🇸 BROWN UNIVERSITY SHOOTING: SUSPECT USED HANDGUN, NOT ASSAULT RIFLE

Authorities now believe the Brown University shooter used a handgun, per AP.

The manhunt drags on for the male suspect in dark clothing who gunned down 2 and wounded 8 in the engineering building during finals.

Students are still hunkered down in lockdowns, spotted barricaded hours after the chaos erupted.

This handgun detail?

It straight-up shreds the left's knee-jerk "ban assault weapons" narrative they're already spinning on this tragedy.

Focus on the motive and the monster behind it, not politicizing like Dems do every time, bad guys don't follow laws, period.

Suspect's at large, campus on edge, prayers for the victims, and swift justice.
