Trump's "peace" is that the EU and UK should continue the Ukr war against Russia (and, even more so, against Ukr itself), while the US gets resources freed for prosecuting other wicked mischiefs, elsewhere in the world.
No...... I don't think that is Trump's Peace...
Trump, although he is the President, is forced to work within a huge, established organization called the United States of America - that for many years - maybe even since it's conception, has been a de facto base for the Globalists - probably intimately connected to the Freemasons....
When Trump said he wanted to be a Peacemaker and a Unifier I believe him - but I get that it is a work in progress and that he has many enemies within who are trying to stop him -
During his first term as a President and first time as a politician he got pressurized and pushed around by the established institutions - but he then had 4 years to plan + get his act together - and that's what we're seeing now - although he is still getting spiritual and political push back....(and isn't going to get 'it' 100% right 100% of the time.... ?)
There's idealism and there's realism - Trump is operating in the real world and, IMO, doing a great job, under the circumstances...
The 'wicked mischiefs' aren't coming from him.....that's Satan's department -
That's how I see it, anyway.....
I would agree whoelheartedly with this Jaybee.
To add to that the EU are still pushing hard for war with Russia and re supplying Ukraine. Similiar if they wanted peace they could stop military aid to Ukraine but they do not.
Then there is Zelensky a Khazarian muppet that wants to ethically cleanse Ukraine of all the slavs to make way for Israel 2.0. So for him peace is never an option.
Beyond that if the EU wanted peace they would sit down with President Putin but they refused to, how can you have a peace summit without him it's impossible.
On the other hand President Trump has reached out to President Putin.
Also recently President Trump also stopped the supply of 49 Australian Abrams tanks to Ukraine.
He allowed the Patriot missile battery to go but that is a defence weapon unlike the Abrams which an offensive weapon.
So there are many more variables at play and to lay the blame at President Trumps feet is unfair and like Jaybee says I think he is doing the best he can under these circumstances.

President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Good evening, or maybe good night already. I want to greet everyone. Ladies and gentlemen. Colleagues.
Allow me to once again congratulate all of you on the Great Victory Day! Thank our friends and foreign partners who have been with us in Moscow these days at the anniversary celebrations to bow to the generation of winners.
We honour all those who contributed to the common victory over Nazism, including our allies in the anti-Hitler coalition, Chinese soldiers, participants in the anti-Fascist resistance in Europe, fighters of the people's liberation movements in Africa, the Asia-Pacific region, and volunteers from Latin American countries.
Together with our friends and like-minded people, we share a common memory and respect for history, heroic deed of true heroes who fought for freedom, and of course, our responsibility for the future, for building a more just and safer world. The issues that directly affect the stable, sustainable development of the entire world community – Eurasia and other world regions – were at the center of the bilateral and the multilateral meetings held in Moscow.
Of course, they were held in a special, solemn, festive atmosphere, but at the same time they were extremely rich and informative, filled with topics of the political, economic and humanitarian agenda.
Summing up, and this is exactly what I would like to do now, I would say that in four days, from May 7 to May 10, we hosted official visits by the leaders of three foreign states: the People's Republic of China, the Venezuelan Bolivarian Republic and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
Additionally, 20 bilateral meetings were held with the heads of the CIS countries, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe and Latin America. In total, 27 heads of state from the CIS, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Latin America, as well as about 10 heads of international organizations took part in the celebrations. Another six countries were represented at a high level.
We see inspiring evidence of genuine consolidation around the enduring ideas and values of our common Great Victory in such a wide participation of delegations from foreign countries and international organisations.
We are grateful to the leaders of the 13 states who sent units of the national armed forces to participate in the parade on Red Square. Their shoulder-to-shoulder march with our ceremonial units filled the common holiday with special energy and the spirit of military brotherhood, tempered during the Second World War.
I was pleased to personally thank the military leaders of the Korean People's Army and convey my warmest words to soldiers and commanders of special forces units of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, who, jointly with our servicemen, professionally, and I want to emphasise this, faithfully performed their assignments during the liberation of the Kursk Region border areas from the Kiev regime forces. I would like to emphasise: they showed courage and heroism, acted – I want to say this again – professionally, to the highest degree, showed good training and preparation.
And of course, it was a special honour for all state leaders to salute the main heroes of the Victory anniversary on the stands – WWII veterans from Russia, Israel, Armenia and Mongolia.
I would like to highlight that, despite threats, blackmail and obstacles caused, including the closure of airspace, the leaders of several European countries – Serbia, Slovakia, Bosnia and Herzegovina – came to Moscow. I would like to reiterate: we understand the massive pressure they faced, and therefore we sincerely appreciate their political courage, firm moral position, decision to share the holiday with us, to pay tribute to the memory of the heroes of the Great Patriotic War, World War II, who fought for their Fatherland and for deliverance from the brown plague of the whole world, of the entire mankind without any exaggeration.
It is important for us that millions of Europeans, state leaders that pursue sovereign policies, remember this. This gives us optimism and hope that sooner or later, based on the lessons of history and the opinion of our peoples, we will begin to move towards restoring constructive relations with European states. Including those who today still do not give up the anti-Russian rhetoric and clearly aggressive actions against us. They are still trying – we can see it right these days – to talk to us, in fact, in a boorish manner and through ultimatums.
Our comprehensive partnership and strategic interaction with the People's Republic of China can serve as a genuine example of modern equal relations in the 21st century. Chinese President Xi Jinping was the chief guest at the celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory.
We have had exceptionally fruitful negotiations, we have adopted two joint statements at the level of heads of state, and we have signed a number of intergovernmental and interdepartmental agreements covering such areas as energy, trade, finance, science, culture and much more. As I have already said, it has been agreed that in September I will pay an official return visit to China for the celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of victory over militaristic Japan.
It is deeply symbolic and natural that the principal, in fact the main commemorative events related to the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII in Europe and Asia will be held in Moscow and Beijing – in the capital cities of the states whose peoples passed through the hardest trials and paid the highest price for the common Victory.
Colleagues, I think it is obvious to everyone that the talks and meetings held in Moscow also touched on the issue of resolving the conflict in Ukraine. We are grateful to all our guests, our friends, for the attention they are paying to this conflict and for the efforts they are making to bring this conflict to an end. In this connection, I believe it is necessary to dwell on this topic separately.
So, I want to say that, as it is known, Russia has proposed ceasefire initiatives on several occasions, but they, these initiatives, have been repeatedly sabotaged by Ukraine. For example, the Kiev regime defiantly violated about 130 times the 30-day – I want to make it a point – 30-day moratorium, from March 18 to April 17, on strikes against energy facilities, which was declared in accordance with our agreement with US President Donald Trump.
The Easter truce initiated by Russia was not observed either: the ceasefire regime was violated by Ukrainian forces almost 5,000 times. Nevertheless, for the celebration of Victory Day – and we consider this to be a sacred holiday for us as well, just imagine that we lost 27 million people – we declared a ceasefire for the third time on this holiday, which is sacred to us.
Incidentally we conveyed to those of our colleagues in the West who, in my opinion, are sincerely looking for ways to settlement, our position on this issue, on a ceasefire on Victory Day, and that in the future we do not exclude the possibility of extending the terms of this truce – but, of course, after analysing what will happen in these several days, based on the results of how the Kiev regime will react to our proposal.
And what do we see? What are these results? The Kiev authorities, as you can see for yourself, did not respond at all to our ceasefire proposal. Moreover, after the announcement of our proposal – and this happened, as you remember, on May 5 – the Kiev authorities launched large-scale attacks in the early hours of May 7. As many as 524 unmanned aerial vehicles and a number of Western–made missiles participated in the strike, and 45 unmanned boats were used simultaneously in the Black Sea.
Actually, during these three days of the ceasefire that we announced – on May 8, 9 and 10 – happened what you also saw from the media, in fact, from your reports, it was clear: during this time, five targeted attempts were made to attack the state border of the Russian Federation in the area of the Kursk Region and at the junction with the Belgorod Region, precisely during the days of the ceasefire we announced. Additionally, another 36 attacks were made in other areas. All these attacks, including attempts to enter the territory of the Russian Federation in the Kursk Region and the Belgorod Region, were repulsed. Moreover, our military experts believe that they had no military significance, were conducted solely for political reasons and the enemy suffered very heavy losses.
As I have already said, the Kiev authorities not only declined our ceasefire proposal, but also, as we all saw, tried to intimidate the leaders of the states who gathered for the celebrations in Moscow. You know, when I met with colleagues here in Moscow, a thought occurred to me. I'll share it with you: who were they trying to intimidate among those who came to Moscow to celebrate the Victory over Nazi Germany? Who were they trying to frighten? Those who have come to us are leaders not by position or a post, they are leaders by character, by their beliefs and willingness to stand for their beliefs. And who was trying to intimidate them? Those who stand at attention and salute, applaud former SS soldiers? And elevates those who collaborated with Hitler during WWII to the rank of national heroes? It seems to me that this is an attempt with obviously unsuitable means and those who are trying to do this do not correspond to the scale they expect themselves.
I will repeat: we have proposed steps towards a ceasefire on many occasions. We have never refused to engage in dialogue with the Ukrainian side. Let me remind you again: it was not us who interrupted the negotiations in 2022; it was the Ukrainian side. In this connection, despite everything, we propose that the authorities in Kiev should resume the negotiations that they interrupted at the end of 2022 and resume direct talks. And, I stress, without any preconditions.
We suggest starting without delay next Thursday, May 15, in Istanbul, where they were held earlier and where they were interrupted. As you know, Turkish colleagues have repeatedly offered their services to organise such talks, and President Erdogan has done a lot to organise them. I recall that as a result of these talks a joint draft document was prepared and initialed by the head of the Kiev negotiating group, but at the insistence of the West it was simply thrown into the basket.
Tomorrow we are going to have a conversation with the President of Turkiye, Mr Erdogan. I would like to ask him to provide such an opportunity to hold talks in Turkiye. I hope that he will confirm his desire to contribute to the search for peace in Ukraine.
We are set on serious negotiations with Ukraine. Their aim is to eliminate the root causes of the conflict and to achieve a long-term lasting peace for a historical perspective. We do not rule out that in the course of these negotiations it will become possible to agree on some kind of new truce and a new ceasefire. And a real ceasefire that would be observed not only by Russia but also by the Ukrainian side and would be the first step, I repeat, towards a long-term, sustainable peace, rather than a prelude to continuing armed conflict after the Ukrainian armed forces have been rearmed, re-equipped and frantically digged trenches and new strongholds. Who needs such peace?
Our proposal is, as they say, on the table. The decision is now up to Ukrainian authorities and their supervisors, who are seemingly guided by their personal political ambitions, rather than the interests of their peoples, want to continue the war against Russia at the hands of Ukrainian nationalists.
Let me reiterate myself: Russia is ready for talks without any preliminary conditions. There are combat actions and war going on now, and we propose to resume negotiations that were not interrupted by us. Well, what's wrong about it?
Those who really want peace cannot but support this. At the same time, I would like to express my gratitude once again for the mediation services and efforts aimed at a peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian crisis undertaken by our foreign partners, including China, Brazil, African countries, the Middle East, and recently the new Administration of the United States of America.
In conclusion, I would like to once again thank everyone who shared with us the festive celebrations dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory over Nazism. I am sure that the spirit of solidarity and harmony that united us in Moscow these days will continue to help us build fruitful cooperation and partnership in the name of progress, security and peace.
I would also like to take this opportunity to note the tremendous role of journalists, representatives of international information agencies, TV channels, and the press who covered the anniversary events and the many-hour programme of current negotiations and working meetings. Much has been done to ensure that people in different countries of the world experience the unique atmosphere of the current holidays in Moscow. Of course, I thank you for this meeting as well, as it is held quite late and, of course, everyone is already tired.
Thank you very much for your attention, as it's almost half past one in the morning, or even later than half past one in Moscow, God be with you.
Thank you very much for your attention. Goodbye.

Thanks for the feedback.....
re the bit of your reply I've bolded/underlined above.... yes the latest ludicrous 'tough guys' virtue signalling by the European leaders....the so called 'coalition of the willing...'...that can only be described as political theatre for their home audiences so they can play act at being the Peacemakers - while at the same time digging in for more war - I don't think Putin (and his team) will take the bait because a lot of weapons could be sneaked into Ukraine in 30 days... weapons that could be fired into Russia ?
Comments in the video below about the 'coalition of the willing'.... willing to get us all killed in a Globalist's War perhaps...?

Zelensky & Europe Give Putin Ultimatum / Lt Col Daniel Davis (20:55)

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the head of four European countries issue a shocking ultimatum to Russia today. If Putin does not accept the demand of an unconditional 30 day ceasefire by Monday, the Western countries will impose significant new sanctions on Russia. Why this is exactly supposed to make Russia frightened, 'forcing peace' on them, as Zelensky claims, is unclear.
Text:
Many Western countries want the conflict in Ukraine to continue, which is why they do not agree to direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, said Slovakian Prime Minister Fico.
“I believe that this point of view will change, I will remind you again that this is a matter for Ukraine and Russia, if they are interested in negotiating, let them do so,” Fico concluded, recalling that the West had already disrupted one such peace talks in 2022. https://x.com/GeromanAT/status/1921560579384221948

⚡️💥ENERGY STRIKE MORATORIUM
In March 2025, after talks with the US in Riyadh, Russia agreed to a 30-day moratorium to strikes targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
HOW DID UKRAINE REACT?🤡
🟠Refused to meet in Istanbul unless Russia agrees to its 30-day ceasefire idea
🟠Violated the Victory Day ceasefire 14,043 times, tried to disrupt celebrations in Moscow
The Russian proposal is a masterstroke that will “reinforce the reality that Ukraine, its Western sponsors and the US aren’t serious about peace” if they reject it.

Apparently, they did it so thoroughly that they forgot to hide their paraphernalia (a little baggie and a spoon) before the journalists arrived.
The fate of Europe is being decided by dependent and temporary figures—in every sense of the word.
Incredible footage. It's as if the Almighty Himself is pulling back the curtain on this foul gathering, so that 'those with eyes may see.'

‼️🇩🇪 Disillusionment Sets In: Majority of Germans Already Unhappy with Chancellor Merz — BILD Reports
Just four days. That’s all it took for the German public to turn sour on their new chancellor.
According to a fresh INSA poll, only 23% of Germans view Friedrich Merz’s performance positively since he stepped into the role. Confidence in his leadership? Almost nonexistent.
The picture doesn’t get any brighter when it comes to the newly formed coalition. A mere 29% of respondents express satisfaction with its direction — while nearly half the country is already voicing disapproval.
A storm is brewing in Berlin, and it seems the Merz era is off to a shaky, unpopular start.

▪️The Ukrainian Armed Forces lost up to 190 servicemen in the "West" zone after the end of the ceasefire;

Five TCC personnel can be seen in the footage, yet no police officers were present to intervene or oversee the incident.

Putin has now used the word 'war' for the first time. [...] Maybe after the rejection of the latest proposal for talks, the Russians will move and upgrade the Special Military Operation into something more serious which might allow them more leeway to expand their military operations in Ukraine. [...] The use of the word 'war' by Putin in carefully prepared written comments, a word that has been repeated in the readout transcript provided by the Kremlin, suggest that something like a major Oreshnik missile strike might indeed be on its way.

Article written by Adam Entous
"Adam Entous is a former staff writer for The New Yorker, known for his coverage of intelligence, national security, and foreign affairs."
This says a lot in itself imo (ie mainstream journalist)
I asked chat gpt about the Biblioteca Pleyades and here's the first couple of sentences:
"The website Biblioteca Pleyades is an extensive online repository that curates a wide range of materials related to alternative theories, including UFOs, ancient civilizations, suppressed technologies, New Age spirituality, and global conspiracies. It presents itself as a "Virtual Library" aiming to collect and share information from various sources, often focusing on topics outside mainstream academic and scientific discourse."
So then I asked "Who runs it?"
"The ownership of Biblioteca Pleyades is not publicly disclosed. The domain was registered on July 2, 2003, and is set to expire on July 2, 2030. The registrant's information is redacted for privacy, and the domain is registered through TUCOWS DOMAINS INC. The website is hosted by Aruba S.p.A., an Italian hosting provider, and utilizes DNS services from Technorail and ArubaDNS.
Website Informer
Due to the lack of publicly available information about the site's ownership, it's challenging to determine who is responsible for its content. The site does not provide an "About Us" or "Contact" page that offers insights into its administrators or contributors.
Given the anonymity of its ownership and the nature of its content, it's advisable to approach the information presented on the site with a critical mindset. For academic or factual research, consulting peer-reviewed journals and reputable sources is recommended."
And lastly, "So how can I post an article on it?"
"As of now, Biblioteca Pleyades does not appear to offer any public or transparent way for individuals to submit or post content directly to the site. Here's what we can deduce:
1. No Submission Portal
The site lacks a user registration system, contributor login, or a "Submit an Article" page.
There’s no visible editorial board or contributor guidelines.
2. Content Sourcing
Most of the content appears to be reproduced from external sources—books, articles, other websites, or known figures in fringe/alternative circles (e.g., David Icke, Zecharia Sitchin).
It’s likely curated by the unknown site owner(s), who select and publish material that aligns with the site's themes.
3. Contacting the Site
While there is no clear “Contact Us” page, some archived versions of the site or specific pages might include contact email addresses embedded in articles or footers.
People interested in contributing may have historically reached out informally via such contact points, if they existed.
Summary
You can’t simply post on Biblioteca Pleyades like a blog or forum. The content is likely curated manually, and contributions would have to be solicited or submitted via private contact—assuming such contact is even possible.
Would you like help locating a contact method (if any exists) for the site?"
. . .
I left it there.
With all that we read and hear these days, it's wise to take a critical view and keep it for reference, and also even if repeated elsewhere many time, doesn't make something true - as those of us who follow the UFO information well know. :chuckle:

Re: WW3? Ukraine/US vs. Donbass/Russia
Col. Jacques Baud | What Russia Really Wants — And Why the West Doesn't Get It | May 12, 2025
In his video update for today, Alexander Mercouris argues at quite some length that on Thursday, in Istanbul, the Russians will indeed fly in their delegated team of skilled negotiators. But they will find no Ukrainians to meet them there.
I'm not fully convinced about that, and Mercouris himself guesses this is merely the most likely outcome rather than a slam-dunk inevitability. But it's an interesting prediction nonetheless. Only 3 days to wait and see. :)

Pete Hegseth Accidentally EXPOSES Plan for US War with China: Brian Berletic’s BRUTAL Takedown
Jacques Baud is in many ways one of my most favourite of the many talking heads out there.
For anyone at all interested in his analyses his article from May2022 saved to the library is a must read primer. Concerning the SVO: in reality it was the Armed Forces of Ukraine that 'started' this current iteration, on February 16th that year:
[Extracts]
Let’s try to examine the roots of the [Ukrainian] conflict. It starts with those who for the last eight years have been talking about “separatists” or “independentists” from Donbass. This is a misnomer. The referendums conducted by the two self-proclaimed Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk in May 2014, were not referendums of “independence” (независимость), as some unscrupulous journalists have claimed, but referendums of “self-determination” or “autonomy” (самостоятельность). The qualifier “pro-Russian” suggests that Russia was a party to the conflict, which was not the case, and the term “Russian speakers” would have been more honest. Moreover, these referendums were conducted against the advice of Vladimir Putin.
In fact, these Republics were not seeking to separate from Ukraine, but to have a status of autonomy, guaranteeing them the use of the Russian language as an official language–because the first legislative act of the new government resulting from the American sponsored overthrow of [the democratically-elected] President Yanukovych, was the abolition, on February 23, 2014, of the Kivalov-Kolesnichenko law of 2012 that made Russian an official language in Ukraine. A bit like if German putschists decided that French and Italian would no longer be official languages in Switzerland.
This decision caused a storm in the Russian-speaking population. The result was fierce repression against the Russian-speaking regions (Odessa, Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkov, Lugansk and Donetsk) which was carried out beginning in February 2014 and led to a militarization of the situation and some horrific massacres of the Russian population (in Odessa and Mariupol, the most notable).

In 2014, when I was at NATO, I was responsible for the fight against the proliferation of small arms, and we were trying to detect Russian arms deliveries to the rebels, to see if Moscow was involved. The information we received then came almost entirely from Polish intelligence services and did not “fit” with the information coming from the OSCE [Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe]—and despite rather crude allegations, there were no deliveries of weapons and military equipment from Russia.
The rebels were armed thanks to the defection of Russian-speaking Ukrainian
units that went over to the rebel side. As Ukrainian failures continued, tank, artillery and anti-aircraft battalions swelled the ranks of the autonomists. This is what pushed the Ukrainians to commit to the Minsk Agreements.
---
However, let us remember that there were never any Russian troops in the Donbass before 23-24 February 2022. Moreover, OSCE observers have never observed the slightest trace of Russian units operating in the Donbass before then. For example, the U.S. intelligence map published by the Washington Post on December 3, 2021 does not show Russian troops in the Donbass.
---
At the same time, there were reports of sabotage in the Donbass. On 18 January, Donbass fighters intercepted saboteurs, who spoke Polish and were equipped with Western equipment and who were seeking to create chemical incidents in Gorlivka. They could have been CIA mercenaries, led or “advised” by Americans and composed of Ukrainian or European fighters, to carry out sabotage actions in the Donbass Republics.
In fact, as early as February 16, Joe Biden knew that the Ukrainians had begun intense shelling the civilian population of Donbass, forcing Vladimir Putin to make a difficult choice: to help Donbass militarily and create an international problem, or to stand by and watch the Russian-speaking people of Donbass being crushed.
If he decided to intervene, Putin could invoke the international obligation of “Responsibility To Protect” (R2P). But he knew that whatever its nature or scale, the intervention would trigger a storm of sanctions. Therefore, whether Russian intervention were limited to the Donbass or went further to put pressure on the West over the status of the Ukraine, the price to pay would be the same. This is what he explained in his speech on February 21.
On that day, he agreed to the request of the Duma and recognized the independence of the two Donbass Republics and, at the same time, he signed friendship and assistance treaties with them.
The Ukrainian artillery bombardment of the Donbass population continued, and, on 23 February, the two Republics asked for military assistance from Russia. On 24 February, Vladimir Putin invoked Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, which provides for mutual military assistance in the framework of a defensive alliance.
In order to make the Russian intervention seem totally illegal in the eyes of the public, Western powers deliberately hid the fact that the war actually started on February 16. The Ukrainian army was preparing to attack the Donbass as early as 2021, as some Russian and European intelligence services were well aware.

Much has happened since then of course, but, this man knows his stuff.
In fact why not print out that article (downloadable and printable of course) in the library and plonk it in front of anyone open-minded enough to want to understand how in the heck we got here.
Thanks for the link to the video - I'll try and check this out later :thumbsup:
Article written by Adam Entous
"Adam Entous is a former staff writer for The New Yorker, known for his coverage of intelligence, national security, and foreign affairs."
This says a lot in itself imo (ie mainstream journalist)
With all that we read and hear these days, it's wise to take a critical view and keep it for reference, and also even if repeated elsewhere many time, doesn't make something true - as those of us who follow the UFO information well know. :chuckle:

Yes, tell me about it, again :chuckle:
At the foot of the article the usual suspects are cited:
For each war map, we used data from the Institute for the Study of War and the American Enterprise Institute's Critical Threats Project to calculate changes in territorial control.
Well, blow me down :ROFL:

The latest article fromSimplicius which neatly sums up recent activity that's been recorded diligently here this past week. I'll not post the whole piece but simply leave this here for consideration:

Keith Kellogg is one of the two men - along with Steve Witkoff - that Donald Trump has sent to Istanbul talks.
This morning on Fox, he proposed a ceasefire that will involve Russia retreating, a Coalition of the Willing contingent, and a "closing of the skies" over Kiev-controlled territories. And more sanctions.
I hear the season's already started on Turkey's famed Mediterranean resorts. Still time for Mr Kellogg to book a leisurely seaside stay for later this week
