Day 1 of Trump's Presidency... and all the days that follow

There are many video clips on the internet dating back years ago about Trump boasting of 'taking the oil', mostly from Syria and Iraq. All the while the USA was putting Syria's Assad government under destructive sanctions, over the protest of Russia which military had in fact liberated Syria from ISIS at Assad's request, and Russia's military continued to protect Syria for years onward.

In the aftermath, Syria demanded multiple times that USA military ends its illegal occupation and extraction of Syria's oil fields. The USA continued stealing Syria's resources, and sanctioning Syria at the same time, knowing that this would bring Syria to its knees. Trump's pretext that USA military presence was to fight ISIS was false, in fact the CIA created ISIS, and Trump was only following Bibi's orders of controlling Syria. Russia had done most of the fighting to push back ISIS.

What could be more illustrative of utmost greed and disregard for the well being of a population of another country than Trump's boasts about stealing their resources.
No surprise that Trump is doing it again with Venezuela, but with even more criminality.

For those who claim that Trump is fighting a "globalist satanic cabal", just remember that even Canada's demon globalist Trudeau supported the USA attempted coup of Venezuela years ago (under president Trump) which tried to install Juan Guaido. And Canada's Trudeau also supported USA's sanctions against Syria.

Your thinking is not nearly deep enough. None of that proves anything. You are the one saying the prez has very little power and under the thumb of almighty israel global dominance. Its kind of like being a general in WW2 or something. You may despise the orders you have to follow, but you covertly do what you can to thwart plans here and there. So, you can't look at solo actions and assume some absolute evil intent from someone stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Its not possible to have that job and not be corrupt to some extent. I think Trump is a mixed bag and WAY better than the alternative. As Mike said, he stopped A LOT of horrible nonsense that have a good chance of turning places like the UK and Canada into nightmares. If America fell to that , the whole world probably wouldve followed. Unfortunately we cant see the other timeline to see whether it dodged an insane scale of suffering. Won't know until we die. lol

Leaders are constantly changing their alignments based on national interest and other agendas. Of course sometimes Trump will be aligned with demon leaders. lol

Who knows the reasons why they are on Venezuelas case. IT might be far weirder than we think. What if taking them out changes something major that leads to massive economic boom of manufacturing and trade enriching all of the Americas. Would it be worth it to bring 100s of millions out of poverty. I don't know why everyone thinks they are sherlock holmes and can figure all this stuff out. We just have too little info and too much propaganda.

This report says 18,000 known or suspected terrorists came into the U.S. during the Biden administration.

By shutting down the border, Trump prevented another 18,000 terrorists from arriving(conservatively) because there was no reason at all to think this kind of thing would have stopped under a Harris administration. There was only reasons to think it would have gotten far worse.

So if you really find it that challenging to appreciate Trump, this is a very easy one to think about. Just thank him for preventing another 18,000 terrorists from coming into our country, and then thank him for his efforts in systematically trackiing down and throwing out the existing 18,000.

That shouldn't be too hard. There's no telling how many lives he's saved and disasters he's averted with his efforts.

I might say though that the CIA is mostly a rogue organization at this point.

I'd guess the CIA was rogue since about nine months before it was birthed.

I think Trump will be powerless to stop this (or any "heads of state") for that matter:

That can probably only be stopped, if at all, by an uprising global in scale.

Moreover, visitors may be required to disclose their phone numbers, email addresses, and even IP addresses used over the last five to ten years. Additional personal data, such as the names, birth dates, and places of birth of close family members (spouses, parents, children, siblings), may also be collected. These proposed data fields would go far beyond the standard requirements currently in place, offering a much deeper dive into travelers’ personal and professional lives.
Soon it will be all tourists and then all citizens, I figure.

A question for those who think that the USA regime change wars have been beneficial: please name a single benefit from such wars. Okay, I know these wars benefit I$rael and the military industrial complex' oligarchs. But for the people, what positive outcome from those wars?

So, the USA is about to launch a war on Venezuela on the false pretext of drugs, when the USA itself has a history of trafficking drugs to destabilize other countries.
Kiriakou is too mild in the interview below, the problem isn't 'sociapathic tendencies', the problem is full blown psychopaths running the CIA & USA government.

John Kiriakou exposed the CIA’s torture program, revealing it was approved and concealed by top government officials, and was prosecuted for whistleblowing rather than for any crime committed in the field. He describes a culture within the CIA that encourages criminal behavior and recruits individuals with sociopathic tendencies, leading to daily illegal acts. Kiriakou’s investigation into Afghanistan’s heroin trade uncovered U.S. complicity in drug production to destabilize rival nations (Russia & Iran), a truth suppressed by both the DEA and the Senate. He details how the CIA manipulates American media, universities, and social media platforms to shape public opinion and recruit new operatives, all while violating its charter by engaging in domestic surveillance. Oversight committees meant to regulate the agency have instead become its cheerleaders, allowing the CIA to operate with impunity and keep its most troubling actions hidden from the public.

Donald Trump says his administration is about to release “truckloads” of evidence PROVING the 2020 election was “RIGGED” by Democrats"

At the Christmas reception yesterday Donald Trump said: "“They're professionals at cheating because we won in 2016 by a lot. The election was rigged in 2020. We have all the ammunition, all the stuff, and you'll see it come out. It's coming out in truckloads”

“California more than any other place is so rigged. It's such a rigged election — If the vote in California was legitimate, which it's not, they have 38 million ballots. Everything is mail-in voting. They mail out 38 million ballots, and they come in. Where the hell did they go, and where did they come from?

"It's a rigged election in California, because we would win California by a lot”

The quotes above start at 31:56 in the video and he continues with more comments about elections:

Trump mocks slain actor Rob Reiner, drawing swift bipartisan condemnation
by Jeff Mason - December 15, 2025

WASHINGTON, Dec 15 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump mocked Rob Reiner in a social media post on Monday, suggesting the slain actor and director died because of his anti-Trump views — a remark that triggered swift and bipartisan backlash for injecting politics into a family tragedy.
A vocal Democratic activist, Reiner, 78, and his wife Michele, 70, were found dead in their home on Sunday. Their son Nick Reiner was arrested on homicide charges. Police have yet to ascribe a motive.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump referred to Rob Reiner as "tortured and struggling" and said Reiner and his wife had passed away "reportedly due to the anger he caused" by opposing the Republican president.
"He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump," the president said.
The White House reposted Trump's comments on its official "Rapid Response" account on X.
The president, who frequently lashes out at his opponents and praises public figures who support him, offered no evidence that Reiner's political views contributed in any way to the couple's death.

Trump's comments on Monday drew criticism from across the political spectrum.
"Regardless of how you felt about Rob Reiner, this is inappropriate and disrespectful discourse about a man who was just brutally murdered," wrote Republican U.S. Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky.

"This is a family tragedy, not about politics or political enemies," wrote Republican U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia.
Both Massie and Greene are Trump critics, a rarity within the president's party.
But even House Speaker Mike Johnson, a major Trump ally, distanced himself from the president's post. "We have to appeal to our better angels, and I think we've got to amplify those voices and those sentiments. So that's my position on it,” he told reporters when asked about Trump's comments.
Asked in the Oval Office if he stood by the post after the Republican criticism, Trump replied that he was not a Reiner fan.

Reiner told Variety in 2017 during Trump's first term that Trump was "mentally unfit" and called him "the single most unqualified human being to ever assume the presidency of the United States."
Trump said in his post on Monday that Reiner had the "mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME," a term the president uses for many of his critics.
The Democratic Party called Trump's post "heartless."
David Axelrod, a former adviser to President Barack Obama, called it perverse. "The absence of empathy & grace for the Reiner family in their moment of profound loss and grief is sad and revealing," he wrote on X.
Republicans and Trump supporters were sharply critical of anyone who highlighted right-leaning activist Charlie Kirk's controversial views in the aftermath of his murder in September.

We must remember that Trump gained a really massive vote, whichever side of this political bird you favor the people of America said "Have at it Trump, do what you think is best to reclaim America" - they really did - in the case of Trump there was zero need for clever tricks (the man is a living trick), while the dems & the permanent bureaucracy depend on their clever lies, Trump knows that he has an historic mandate, this has never really been achieved since the time of Washington. This is the reality, there is only a short time to pull off a stupendous defeat of the globalists, we might cringe & feel surprise with Trump, but this is a unique event: the true crossroads of Western civilization, this includes RUSSIA, I keep this in mind. While Trump may offend our sensibilities at times, this is the last chance we have of overcoming the vast Evil of our time, I really think this is true.

I agree, Trump gained a massive win last elections (and probably in 2020 too). But let's be clear why. Trump's main promises were to release the Epstein files, 'no more foreign wars', close the borders, and end the extremist trans ideology. That's why people voted for him for the most part. Looks to me that Trump ended the trans extremism, and closed the border. But he completely dropped the Epstein files and is now starting a new war against Venezuela. Along with the fact that Trump is still helping Israel genocide Palestinians, and is still contributing military support to Ukraine (they couldn't do anything without USA providing satellite surveillance data and on-site manpower for high tech military equipment).

So, how exactly is Trump fighting the globalists? The mass immigration and trans thing are relatively minor compared to the zio-globalist agenda of human trafficking & blackmail operations, political infiltration, regime change wars & pillage, covert terrorist operations, total surveillance, media control, etc. which both Republicans and Democrats have inflicted on the american public and on the world. Many americans see that Trump betrayed them, but not enough of them to make a much-needed revolution happen, it seems.

So it's not about drugs anymore? It's about imaginary 'theft'?

Venezuela responds to Trump’s oil blockade
The US president has demanded Caracas “return stolen assets” or face the wrath of the American naval armada

Venezuela has denounced US President Donald Trump’s oil blockade on the country, saying his “interventionist and colonialist” rhetoric proves Washington’s long-standing plan to seize Venezuelan natural resources.

Trump had announced the move in a Truth Social post on Tuesday, describing it as “a total and complete blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers going into, and out of, Venezuela.”

In an official statement released late Tuesday, Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez said Trump’s remarks revealed the “true intention” of the United States “to take over the oil, land, and minerals of Venezuela.”

The government rejected Trump’s claim that Venezuela had “stolen” assets from Washington and denounced his rhetoric as “interventionist and colonialist.” The statement accused the US president of violating international law, free trade, and freedom of navigation by ordering US naval forces in the Caribbean to prevent “sanctioned tankers” from entering or leaving Venezuelan waters.

“Through his social media statements, the president of the United States assumes that Venezuela’s oil, land, and mineral wealth belong to him,” the statement said. “On that basis, he seeks to impose a naval military blockade with the objective of robbing the riches that belong to our homeland.”

Rodriguez said Washington’s actions were part of a “gigantic campaign of lies and manipulation” aimed at justifying the appropriation of the country’s natural resources. She added that the US had always sought to dominate Venezuela economically and politically, regardless of changes in administration.

The government said Venezuela would exercise its rights under international law, its constitution, and the UN Charter, reaffirming its sovereignty over its natural resources and its right to free navigation and commerce in the Caribbean and beyond.

“Venezuela will never again be a colony of an empire or any foreign power,” the statement said.

Since September, the US military has killed more than 80 people in attacks on alleged cartel boats, which Trump claimed were being used by the Venezuelan government to “flood” America with narcotics. Venezuela has denied any involvement in drug trafficking and said the strikes were part of a regime change plot to plunder the country’s natural resources.

[sdv]

Briefly going down the rabbit hole of why so many people support Trump. Many, including Trump, had no problem with mocking and attacking Biden, and trying to convince everyone that he had completely lost his mind to dementia, so it cannot be about defending 'our president' at all costs. Hitler was popular, but he was not a good man, and he did not save Germany ... he ended up almost destroying it. Perhaps Trump is simply a reflection of the high degree of narcissism in American society (self absorption, lack of empathy, shallow, materialistic, fantabulists, intolerant if criticsm ...). It is the quiet ones who get on with work without seeking public attention (and I am sure there are many) who will pick up the pieces, clear away the rubble, and rebuild one day (perhaps they will be wise enough to join with the indigenous people to do so). But, in the meanwhile, so many, including Musk, have allowed themselves to be brainwashed and corrupted, and have embraced bullying and attacking both individuals and groups of people.

I am going to be foolish enough to point out one of the flaws I see in the American system: the presidency itself. A president is elected for 4 years, and is regarded as approaching lame duck status by about the middle of that term, and is restricted by vicious bi-partisan politics and obligations to donors throughout the time in the presidency. China works with a series of 5 year plans, over more than 30 years. That is how it has been able to transform itself. I am not suggesting that the USA should adopt the Chinese political model, but perhaps there should be some soul searching about money in politics and the short term that a president has (long enough to create chaos but not long enough to bring about positive development that in the bipartisan political system will not be undone by the next person in the White House). The downside is that you could be stuck with a destructive president for 10 years.

[Jaak]

Interesting how president of USA can give away land that aint his to give ... Rothschild and the jew mafia will be happy . They get to steal even more wealth from Syria than before ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genie_Energy

Genie Oil and Gas (GOGAS) explored for conventional oil in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights through its Afek Oil and Gas subsidiary, and pursued oil shale projects through American Shale Oil (AMSO), Israel Energy Initiatives (IEI) and Genie Energy Mongolia. AMSO, IEI, and Genie Energy Mongolia are no longer active. 89% of GOGAS was owned by Genie Energy while Jacob Rothschild, Michael Steinhardt and Rupert Murdoch among others held minority interests.

In February 2013, Israeli authorities awarded Afek Oil and Gas an exclusive 36-month petroleum exploration license to a 153-square-mile (400 km2) plot in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, which the UN recognizes to be Syrian territory.
Afek subsequently conducted above-ground geophysical tests and based on its preliminary analysis, has applied for a ten well exploratory drilling program.
South of Katzrin in the southern Golan Heights in 2015, Afek discovered a substantial amount of oil and natural gas reserves which would make Israel energy self-sufficient.

Here is Rob Reiner conspiring w. John Brennan and Jim Clapper to overthrow the democratically-elected President Trump as part of the Russiagate Conspiracy.

What was Reiner's connection to the CIA?

Who financed this op?

The coup d'état against the duly-elected US President could have only succeeded if the CIA could carry the public with them.

That's why Obama, Brennan and Clapper turned to their trusted Hollywood assets like Reiner to sell the fake Russiagate narrative to the public.



https://x.com/TonySeruga/status/2001...637870650?s=20

GPS—Rob Reiner appears in the immediate vicinity of Barack Hussein Obama II, over 500 times, including in Mexico, where Bill and Hillary Clinton joined them.

Barack and Michelle Obama had planned to meet with Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, for dinner on the evening of Sunday, December 14, 2025—the same day their bodies were discovered in their Brentwood home in Los Angeles.

Michelle Obama publicly confirmed this during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on December 15 or 16, stating that she and her husband had known the Reiners for many years and "were supposed to be seeing them that night" before learning of their deaths.

The Committee to Investigate Russia (also known as http://InvestigateRussia.org), a nonprofit organization founded and directed by Rob Reiner in 2017 to highlight Russian interference in U.S. elections, had an advisory board that included four former CIA directors (or acting directors):

Leon Panetta (CIA Director, 2009–2011)

Michael Hayden (CIA Director, 2006–2009; also former NSA Director)

Michael Morell (Acting CIA Director, 2011 and 2012–2013)

John Brennan (CIA Director, 2013–2017; referenced in related events and materials, though primary listings emphasize the above)

Rob Reiner served as a key figure and board member, often credited as "Director" in organizational materials.

The advisory board also featured other intelligence figures like James Clapper (former Director of National Intelligence).

Other organizations Rob Reiner directed or led were First 5 California, the I Am Your Child Foundation/Parents' Action for Children, and the American Foundation for Equal Rights.

People ask how I found this video, or even if it’s real because it’s so shocking.

It is real and here is how I found it.

For 9 years, I follow what President Trump says about the Grand Conspiracy because he knows everything. He actually filters how much he reveals to the public because the truth is shocking and people need time to absorb it. So when he said Reiner was one of the organizers of the Russiagate conspiracy, I knew he meant it literally. Then it was the question of finding out precisely how.

We already know that Hillary created Russiagate and Obama organized it. Brennan and Clapper were in charge of implementing in. So it was a just a question of finding how they all connect.

The rest was just lots of research. The video was on Reiner’s website as a placeholder but they actually deleted it to cover tracks. So I found it elsewhere.
