Putin’s Talks With Nordic Leaders Could Signal Start of Serious Diplomacy


Putin’s Talks With Nordic Leaders Could Signal Start of Serious Diplomacy, Expert Says
Sweden Herald


The “frank” talks between the two Nordic leaders and Russian President Vladimir Putin about the war in Ukraine could mark the start of a serious diplomatic process, says Kjell Engelbrekt, a professor of political science at the Swedish National Defence University. The talks suggest that the leaders are no longer just skirting the issues, but have begun to address real problems.

Very few direct contacts between European leaders and the Kremlin have taken place since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, more than four years ago.

According to Kjell Engelbrekt, the phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Finnish President Alexander Stubb was likely coordinated with the United States.

"Stubb and Støre appear to be acting in concert with American attempts to probe, says Engelbrekt.

The direct contact with Putin comes a week after Støre and Stubb hosted and took part in a meeting in Oslo between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US special envoy Steve Witkoff.

Such conflicts cannot go on for as long as they want. It is obvious to more and more Russians that this war is really going on. Added to that is the Trump administration, and as far as I can tell, it is the Americans who want these probes to be initiated.

Ahead of the upcoming midterm elections in the United States, domestic political pressure on the Republicans and the Trump administration is mounting.

Criticism has been expressed over Norway and Finland’s decision to initiate contact with the Kremlin. Europe has valued the image of being coordinated in its relations with Russia. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is “very skeptical” and says the conversation was not coordinated with other European countries.

But according to Kjell Engelbrekt, Stubb and Støre are leaders trusted within NATO and by the US government, and are preferable from a Russian perspective to other European voices.

The Russian side does not want to talk to the President of the European Commission. Perhaps there is a certain confidence that neither Norway nor Finland wants to escalate this conflict in any way, but simply wants to bring about a process.

Russia Fulfilling All Its Obligations Under All Joint Projects With Iran – Putin



Sputnik


Russia is fulfilling all its obligations under all joint projects with Iran, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday. 
"For our part, we are fulfilling all our commitments on all our projects," Putin said at a meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in Moscow. 
Russia and Iran are increasing mutual trade and cooperation in the energy and humanitarian fields, the president added.

"The construction of the Bushehr nuclear power plant continues," Putin added.

Russia expects the situation in the Middle East to develop positively, Vladimir Putin said.
Putin said that he had discussed the situation in the Middle East with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian face to face.
"We are neighbors, we have many common interests, and we are trying to realize them all. We hope the situation will develop positively," Putin said during the talks with Pezeshkian.
Putin said at a meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian that the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF) summit was productive.
Vladimir Putin said that Russian-Iranian trade increased by 10.4% in the first eight months of this year.
"I would like to note that Russian-Iranian trade turnover increased by 10.4% in the first eight months of this year," Putin said.
Russia is always glad to see the president of Iran, Putin added.
There is no point in relying on the United States to resolve problems in the Middle East, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said.

Europe is Burning - 'When Will Everyone Notice a Mercenary Army of Occupation?'


Europe is Burning. We are Next.


Since about 2022, I have been cautioning anyone who would listen, in every venue that would have me — and again I must credit Steve Bannon and his podcast WarRoom for having taken this seriously before anyone else would — that militias were being deployed into Europe. I also saw, during the Biden era, militias crossing North over our Southern border. 


Maybe I am lucky in having reported in conflict areas around the world; and maybe I am lucky to have read a lot of history, just before the history books were censored or turned into right-on gibberish. 

I have reported from formal war zones and from civil wars. I know what soldiers look like, and what combat looks like.


I have also reported from refugee camps. I know what genuine refugees look like. 


For all of those reasons, I knew from the start that the narrative about “refugees” seeking “a better life” in Western Europe, Britain and the US (under the Biden administration), was hogwash.


How could everyone not see this right away? 


Real refugees come with their families; as many others have noted, soldiers leave their families at home. 


These hordes flooding in, via NGO, UN and Biden-era State Department sponsorship and these transnational entities’ 360-degree management, as I reported in my 2024 essay What is a Culture? were and are overwhelmingly, military-age young men without families.


They hailed, and hail, disproportionately from notably violent, religiously extremist, tyrannical or failed states; thus they are sourced, bizarrely enough, unless the goal for the West is to import its own cultural and physical destruction, from countries that are not the traditional, constructive sources of immigration for Western nations. Someone is choosing the worst places on earth, from which to source new “Westerners”.


I pointed out that many of these “refugees” arrived at the US Southern border from brutal, authoritarian Communist China — which transit involves CCP-level coordination to accomplish.


Afghanistan, another source of millions of recent “refugees” imported to the West, is a nation in which half of the population believes that it has the right to kidnap, beat, rape and hold hostage the other half of the population.


The numbers that total the arrival of Afghani “refugees” to the West, are staggering. A spigot is essentially draining a part of the population of Afghanistan and directing it Westward. About 300,000 Afghan “refugees” live now in the US; 515,000 in Germany, the largest concentration of such nationals in Europe. In Canada, 132,000 Afghanis have arrived; in the UK, 93,000; in France, 125,000; in Sweden, 68,000; and in Australia, 60,000. There are about 150,000 Afghanis in England and Wales.


So now there in total are about 928,000 Afghanis in the West.


I have spoken about the oddness that other recent main sources of “refugees” are the most violent of failed states: Somalia, for instance, has provided almost 260,000 “refugees” to the United States. Somalia’s GDP was the second lowest in the world in 2020. It is typically ranked among the five lowest GDPs in the world. 7.7 million Somalis in Somalia, according to the UN, require humanitarian assistance. Somalia has seen a recent rise in violent extremism.


When 50-72,000 “migrants” invaded North African Spanish town of Ceuta on July 31, 2026 — in a move that was clearly, to me, a test run for later rampages which have now, three months later, taken place — the legacy media insisted that these were spontaneous population movements driven by “social media rumors”. 


Again, I read these headlines and thought, How can anyone believe this nonsense? 


Legacy media described the men storming the beaches and flooding into the town of Ceuta, abusing women and girls as they congregated, as “Moroccans.” 


It took one glance to see that many if not most of these rioting, fighting-age men were obviously not Moroccans. They were visibly sub-Saharan Africans. 


A very few reporters actually did journalism - that increasingly archaic practice — and asked some of the invading men, where they were from. Mali, Chad and Sudan were some of the replies that reporters received.


The reporters’ curiosity ended there, though these replies made it clear to anyone paying attention that someone with money and resources had coordinated the movement of hundreds if not thousands of fighting-age men from those nations.

Chad, Mali and Sudan are many thousands of miles’ journey to Morocco, let alone into Ceuta. How can a reporter not ask a followup question about this transcontinental movement?

Former BlackRock insider warns AI cyberattack will be used to end cash, usher in new digital financial control





Former BlackRock portfolio manager Ed Dowd predicts a rogue AI cyberattack will be used as a pretext to roll out some form of crypto-based digital currency to replace the paper dollar system. This would give globalist power elites unprecedented control over the financial transactions of every human being on the planet, including Americans.

Dowd warns that digitized currencies will ultimately enable governments to impose arbitrary limits on purchases, using AI to surveil programmable “money” that can be turned on or off, or programmed to apply only for the purchase of certain goods to the exclusion of others.

This has always been the dark side of digitalized money. Take PayPal, for example. This is a digital payment system that can be convenient to use, but it dictates the rules to its users. You cannot use PayPal to pay for certain goods it doesn’t like, such as entirely legal firearms and the bullets that make them viable weapons for hunting, sport shooting, or personal protection. During the Covid years, PayPal would not let you use its platform to buy NAC, Quercitin or other supplements that were effective in boosting one’s immune system against Covid.

Ultimately, the plan goes even further than monitoring and curtailing your spending habits. It’s the tokenization of all assets, including your home and any real property you may have, your car, your bank account. Patrick Wood has unpacked this strategic technocratic plan in his new book, Crucible of Tokens.

The end game was dribbled out seven years ago when the World Economic Forum introduced the mantra that “you will own nothing and be happy” after the digital reset has been completed. The timeline for completing what King Charles and other top globalists had promoted as the “Great Reset” has been 2030.

They’ve been planning this takeover for decades. But they didn’t have the proper technological tools to pull it off until now. Artificial intelligence being misused by an enemy nation will be the announced culprit. 

Iran? Russia? China? Take your pick.

Dowd referred to CV restrictions, saying vaccine passports were planned to be linked to a digital ID and twice-a-year boosters, and that this was the first attempt to roll out a central bank digital currency or CBDC.

The current plan is behind schedule, which is why governments will try again during an economic meltdown, Dowd argued, adding that a rogue AI cyberattack, in which money disappears from banks, could be the triggering mechanism.

“Right now, we’re free to express ourselves economically with people, for the most part, either cash or credit. But they want an AI-surveilled third option to determine whether or not that transaction is allowed to happen,” Dowd said in an interview with Clayton Morris of the YouTube podcast channel Redacted. “And the only way you can do that is with the CBDC. So that’s the ultimate goal. It’s control freaks.”

It was also reported over the weekend that the U.S. Pentagon is working on a plan to ensure military bases can keep running for at least 90 days, on their own, with no dependence on outside infrastructure. The effort is called Project FORTRESS, and it is built upon one overriding concern: that a major war could knock out power grids, break supply chains and threaten the viability of critical infrastructure on American soil.

Why is it that the leaders of European nations are encouraging their citizens to prepare for war on their soil by stocking up on food, water, batteries, flashlights and other supplies, while the U.S. is preparing its military bases for a grid-down event, and yet we have no official government warnings being provided to the American people? Do they want us to be blindsided by what’s coming? You have to wonder.

Of course, the possibility of an extended grid-down event is nothing we who are awake haven’t been aware of and preparing for. People like myself, Catherine Austin Fitts and others have been writing and speaking about it for years.

Klaus Schwab, former director of the World Economic Forum, also warned more than five years ago that a major cyber attack would shut down global financial institutions, communications, etc.
