I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

THE EU FINANCE DEAL
FOR UKRAINE IS A MAJOR VICTORY
I’ve seen a lot of criticism about the deal, that it wasn’t enough and it was a chicken out over the Russian assets held in Belgium.
That’s all nonsense and disingenuous, as is the allegation that the EU is ‘taxing its own people’ to pay the loan.

Russia’s shadow fleet remains its cash lifeline.
We are cutting it.

Today we sanctioned several individuals linked to Rosneft and Lukoil, as well as 40 additional vessels.

We will also sanction shadow fleet vessels on a rolling basis, with decisions every month.

Europe needs a doctrine to halt Putin’s expansionist ambitions
The Russian president’s specious justifications for the war in Ukraine mean he won’t stop there. But time is running out for Europe to formulate a defence strategy, writes Gabrielius Landsbergis.

"Whether Moscow chooses to admit it or not, the strategic balance has shifted.

This is no longer a war in which Ukraine merely reacts. It is shaping the battlespace, inside Russia itself. Not bad for a country with no cards.”

We now learn that Fifa had a very specific "ask" in exchange for its "Peace Award" to Trump, with loads of gold trinkets, and that was dismissal of a criminal corruption case against senior Fifa officials. And Trump granted it. Another corrupt bargain, barely noticed (and ignored by US media).

Read this! Simply a plan to forge a new US- Russia oligarc alliance.
For a decade, Russia has been seeking to divide Europe and America, to undermine NATO and weaken the transatlantic alliance. This peace plan, if accepted, will achieve that goal.
