TRUMP SIGNALS POSSIBLE PARDONS FOR ALLIES, INCLUDING ELON MUSK

President Trump suggested he could pardon political allies, including Elon Musk, if they face legal action.

"I would do it if I needed to," Trump said in a Pod Force One interview, referencing his January 6 pardons.

The remarks come as Democrats threaten investigations into the Trump administration if they regain control of Congress in Tuesday's midterms.

Why is Jared Kushner designated by Trump as top negotiator in such critical issues as the Ukraine and Iran wars, when he has no negotiation or diplomacy background?

Many channels are now discussing the topic of Jared Kushner given access to billions of dollars to peddle influence that favours Israel.

Netanyahu pressing Trump to bomb Iran immediately after midterms – Axios
The US and Israeli leaders have held a “tough” phone call, sources have told the outlet

October 2, 2026

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to persuade US President Donald Trump to order a new attack on Iran immediately after the midterm election on Tuesday, Axios has reported, citing sources in Washington and West Jerusalem.

In its article on Sunday, the outlet revealed the details of a phone call between the two leaders about a possible resumption of military action against Tehran, which took place a day earlier and was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.

An Israeli source said that the call was “tough,” while an American one described it as “direct,” it said.

According to the sources, Trump told Netanyahu that, instead of bombing Iran right away, he wants to give negotiations between Washington and Tehran a chance first. The Israeli prime minister is concerned by this strategy, they said.

The call came at a sensitive time for Netanyahu, who is engaged in difficult coalition talks after his right-wing bloc failed to secure a parliamentary majority in the election in Israel last month.

US journalist Tucker Carlson claimed in a post on X on Monday that the US “may be within days of launching a nuclear strike on Iran” under pressure from Netanyahu, who “calls Trump about it every day.” According to Carlson’s sources, the prime minister wants an American strike on a facility at Pickaxe Mountain in central Iran, where Israeli intelligence believes the Iranians have restarted their nuclear enrichment program.

Trump told journalists on Saturday that negotiations with Tehran were “going fine.” However, he added that Washington still needed to get rid of some Iranian nuclear sites, claiming “we can do that in 10 minutes. We have that planned. You can look at Pickaxe Mountain. We need to take care of that.”

The US president has repeatedly warned that he could strike Iran again if Tehran fails to meet his peace terms. He made the threats despite the Pentagon inspector-general warning in September that heavy expenditure of key weapons in the conflict in the Middle East “has resulted in strategic inventory shortfalls and revealed industrial base bottlenecks for munitions resupply.” Tehran’s missile and drone strikes have also inflicted up to $15 billion in damage to US bases in the region, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Last week, US Vice President J.D. Vance sent a letter to Iranian national security chief Mohsen Rezaei with an offer to restart talks, which had remained stalled for several months.

On Sunday, Iranian negotiators left Doha after exchanging messages with the Americans via Qatari mediators for three days. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said that the discussions focused on a seven-step plan that Tehran had proposed in September, with the possibility of its accelerated implementation if the deal reached.

Tehran’s terms “are reasonable and logical: no final agreement can be initiated, nor can the Strait of Hormuz be reopened or secured, unless the US naval blockade is brought ‌to an end, Iran’s demands are respected, and Iran’s legitimate requirements are addressed,” Baghaei insisted.

Meanwhile, Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei ordered the military to prepare for “an immediate and effective response, without geographical restriction” if the Islamic Republic is attacked again, according to a statement released by his office on Saturday.

Russian President Vladimir Putin told Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff during their meeting in St. Petersburg last month that Moscow remains ready to facilitate the settlement of the conflict between Washington and Tehran, presidential aide Yury Ushakov said.

Putin stressed that “the possibilities for diplomacy are far from being exhausted, and that it’s both possible and necessary to reach an agreement with Tehran, which is our [Moscow’s] strategic partner,” Ushakov noted.

Tucker Carlson – November 1, 2026

Under pressure from Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Trump administration may be within days of launching a nuclear strike on Iran. The target would be Pickax Mountain in central Iran, where Israeli intelligence claims the Iranian government has restarted its nuclear enrichment program. No conventional weapon in the American arsenal can penetrate 300 feet of solid granite to destroy the tunnels where enrichment is supposedly taking place. The only military option is a nuclear strike. Netanyahu has been pushing hard for one. “Bibi calls Trump about it every day,” says an informed observer.

Netanyahu is cornered and desperate. After last week’s election results, he can’t form a government unless Trump intervenes directly in Israeli politics and brokers a deal with other parties that gives Netanyahu 61 seats in the Knesset. Otherwise, he is out as prime minister and on his way to ignominy, investigations and possibly jail. Netanyahu must stay close to Trump. He needs this war.

To that end, he’s applied maximum pressure to his closest allies in the administration, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper. Both oppose a negotiated settlement to the war they’ve so grievously mismanaged; both are pushing to restart major combat operations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA director John Ratcliffe are also following Netanyahu’s lead, as are leaders of the Democratic Party. In a recent meeting on the subject, former president Barack Obama said he opposes the current Iran peace deal being drafted in Doha.

The rest of America’s longtime allies in the Middle East are terrified by the prospect of more war. On September 27th, Netanyahu flew secretly to Abu Dhabi to enlist the UAE in his lobbying effort for a final attack on Iran. The Emiratis refused. After eight months of conflict, Gulf economies are teetering. So are global energy and fertilizer markets. They won’t recover soon. Globally, there are a total of about 850 supertankers used to transport oil from producers to the rest of the world. In October alone, 11 of them were badly damaged in Hormuz. At this pace, a global depression is imminent. A nuclear strike would radically accelerate the destruction. Fallout from a ground explosion at Pickax Mountain would contaminate the Persian Gulf, poisoning the water supply for 100 million people.

And those are just some of the immediate consequences for the region. The rest of the world is every bit as exposed. No country other than the United States has ever used a nuclear weapon in war. Some would like to. An American nuclear attack on Iran would set a new precedent. The Russians have already told at least two other governments that an American nuclear strike on Iran would free them to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. Pakistan and India would be tempted to do the same against each other, as would North Korea against Seoul. After the first nuclear strike, World War Three is inevitable. That war would be short and final.

We’ve been sleepwalking toward this moment for months. Since February, the administration has quietly rewritten America’s nuclear doctrine to make first use of so-called “battlefield nukes” easier and therefore more likely. No one in Washington in either party seems bothered by this. Now we’re on the brink of it.

Close observers say Trump is likely to decide by next weekend whether or not to use nuclear weapons. That would be November 7, six days from now. To his credit, he’s hesitating. At the moment, Trump is listening to his vice president, JD Vance, and to his envoy and friend Steve Witkoff, both of whom argue a deal with Iran can be made.

They’re right, though it won’t be simple. The Iranians are famously frustrating to negotiate with under any circumstances, and elements of that government have become more radical since Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his family were killed in February. After decades of isolation, even relatively moderate Iranian leaders seem confused by how decisions are made in the West. (There is a widespread belief in Tehran, for example, that the United States government controls Israel.) But overall, people who have spoken to decision-makers in Iran say there is consensus there that more war is bad for everyone and a deal is worth making.

One group that hasn’t been consulted so far is the global population — the hundreds of millions of people who will be killed along with their children if Trump is pushed by Netanyahu into launching a nuclear strike next week. Now would be the time for them to speak up.

It's more like 'Trump Vs the people'. As per the midterms results, the people spoke by voting Republicans out, meaning a solid rejection of Trump and his broken promises. High cost of living, inflation, and starting another forever war against Iran that nobody wanted are the reasons most often cited.

Although the Democrats won Senate and House majority, that's only effective in January 2027. In the meantime, a lot can still happen... For example, there's the upcoming matter of this NDAA provision to provide to Israel access to USA military, discussed by Kim Iversen below.

Trump's Love Your Country Crushes Slotkin's Dystopian Lie

Summary
00:00 The Monday Brief - Trump's Love Your Country Crushes Slotkin's Dystopian Lie - November 2, 2026
01:18 The Post-Midterm Plan
05:20 The Playbook In Action
09:07 The Coalition Showed Up, Just Not Hers

On the eve of the midterms, Susan Kokinda sets President Trump's final message to Republicans, given to Benny Johnson ("be smart, be strong, love your country"), against Senator Elissa Slotkin's September 30 speech at the Carnegie Endowment, where she called Trump's America "the Titanic", and her stage partner Anne Applebaum's praise for the January 6 hearings as "constructed for television". Sllotkin's undercover-video remarks of October 29 show what her post-midterm "signature cases" would be: the White House ballroom and the Reflecting Pool.

The episode then follows the playbook to Poland: Slotkin's visit to Poland and Hungary and the "Iron Broom", Prime Minister Donald Tusk's move against the Constitutional Tribunal, President Karol Nawrocki's return to Warsaw, U.S. Ambassador Tom Rose's statement, and Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski's defence of the government, with a look at Sikorski's and Applebaum's British ties and the Integrity Initiative, funded by the British Foreign Office.

It closes in Michigan, where Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens endorsed Republican Mike Rogers for the Senate, and sets Slotkin's "corruption" narrative against the President's moves on electricity for data centres, health care and drug prices, October's new factories, and child and Hispanic poverty at record lows.

As for yesterdays election results:

[Ernie Nemeth]

Okay. I've not posted here in a while, so longish post upcoming.

The Trump Train has derailed.

The Iran war was his undoing.

How in the world was he convinced that Iran could be defeated in six weeks?

I'll admit I wanted to believe him, but...I kept wondering how is Iran a walk in the park as described?
We know them. We watched their ten year war with Iraq. They have a huge army!
And you think Hamas was entrenched, Iran has been preparing for exactly this sort of conflict for a very many years.
They got tunnels, stashes and caches of small arms and anti-personnel munitions, and a 2,000,000 man army.
Shooting up their modern weapons does not defeat them, it can't.
Short of an invasion force, there is absolutely no way to force the Iranian regime to capitulate. Add to that the fact that 40 million of 90 million people support the regime, and an uprising seems not so popular or likely.

So that said, Trump has made one of the largest blunders in American political history.
Had he gone into Iran with a solid strategic coalition things may have turned out differently.

His only play now is to reverse course, and get the hell out of Iran, and smile with egg on his face.
The war must end so that his domestic policies can take effect and perhaps salvage the next election by freeing the American economy with explosive growth.

High oil prices are hiding the fundamentals, and scewing the resultant commodity prices.

Trump has done wonders with his tariffs for the American economy overall.
And has added another very effective weapon to the arsenal, short of kinetic strikes.


During the lame duck session, Republicans must act fast. Yet their track record says they won't, and they will waste their final and only opportunity to implement the MAGA policy and try and solidify their gains.

But Trump's blunder is so monumental, so profoundly incompetent and short-sighted, that he may have struck his movement, that he started ten years ago, a fatal blow.

What a waste.


Trump being Trump, and luckily for MAGA, he'll probably pull a rabbit out his @ss at the last possible moment. Lol and haha (that's the only laugh today)

For anyone looking for a GOOD, detailed analysis of last night's US midterm election wipeout, here might be an excellent option: Robert Barnes forecast the entire thing (to its extremes) and his deep knowledge of US politics and all of US election history may be unrivaled among YouTube analysts. He has many insider contacts in Washington, and when he makes predictions it may be worth making a quiet note of them.

This election doesn't surprise me one bit, the pendulum has been drastically swinging from one side to the other for many years now.

It also wouldn't surprise me one bit if JD Vance double crosses and totally betrays Trump at any moment now.

This all looks planned out.

[Rizotto]

Personally I think voters strongly voted against the LIES that Trump keeps putting out. Lies on so many levels.

But there is one particularly odious lie that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else, and it's about the September 2025 assassination of Charlie Kirk.

The fact that Americans were strongly inclined to vote for Trump in 2024 was due in a significant part to Charlie Kirk's public advocacy for Trump. But his assassination not only removed Charlie's public advocacy (and TPUSA has become counterproductive in that aspect since), but it was done to hide/end Charlie's new perspective against Israel.

We all know that Charlie Kirk would have strongly and publicly opposed Trump's obeying Netanyahu's requests to wage war against Iran, a war that intensified once Charlie was out of the way. And that was ultimately the reason Charlie was taken out, before he had the chance to publicly condemn Trump for this war.

Because the official storyline about Charlie's assassination doesn't add up. Trying to blame the opposition (i.e. the Left) for that murder without solid evidence has only raised suspicions and disbelief. Blaming another party for one's own crime is typical Mossad's type of operation, except that in this case it appears to have been coordinated between Israel & USA intelligence, with both governments' top level approval. The public isn't blind. Fact is, the court of public opinion has already reached a verdict on this case, and the 2026 midterms result was the sentencing. Americans are probably not yet done dealing with Trump's utterly disgusting betrayal of Charlie Kirk and the American public.

Looks like he aint sleeping well . Starting to look like Soros and other demons

How much more damage will he have to do for the international jew mafia ? Nuke Iran and start WW3 ?
Epstein coalition has him by the balls and he will do whatever he is told.
Even the ones who kept putting the ¨Trump Derangement Symptom¨ label on anyone who dared to question the Trumps narrative have started to look at things from another angle. Even on this forum. Me and others got a lot of negativity for not believing in Trumps b-sh*t just a year ago or more.
People who support Trump no matter what seem to be for me very deranged from reality . Maybe i am wrong . Maybe Trump is still playing 5D chess , fighting globalist reptilians in underground facilities and time travelling etc ...
What promises were made and what has he done ? Release Epstein files ? End the war in Ukraine in 24 hours ? No more wars ? America first ? Deport all immigrants ? Etc..
Instead he made a ton of money for himself and his family and for the chabad jew mafia (Lutnik, Kushner etc).
MAGA and Republicans are wrecked to thousand pieces . Will they ever unite again into numbers as was when people believed Trumps bulls*it when he was running for president ? Democrats will open the borders again and will flood the regions that are republican/white americans with Indians ,Somalians and other humane garbage that will vote democrat (look what happened in Texas or in Alabama). Destruction of USA will continue as planned. Trump was/is just a sideshow for simpletons. Shame to say that he even fooled me for a while the first time he was running for president. I wanted to believe that change for good is coming. Nope , got scammed instead. Should have done my research into Trump earlier before blindly believing his beautiful big lies .
Trump was/is a good goy clown to entertain the masses while misleading them .
A powerful chaos magician as Marina Abramovic called him. Her statement might have some truth to it .
What will be Trumps legacy if we look at it in 10 years or more ? How to make millions by insider trade/manipulating the stock market weekly ? How to sell lies to people and keep them as long time customer ? He does seem to be good at that .
And yet his time seem to be rather over . Most of his supporters seem to be turning around and walking in other direction but does it matter ? Will he be replaced with another shabbos goy before his term ends or will he screw things up even more for entire planet ?
End result will suck for all of us anyway ...
If not him then it is going to be the next guy in ¨power¨ ( another puppet for jews to do their bidding ) .

I sometimes find the commentary of Martin Geddes to be most astute.

His latest two essays, one posted before the polls opened in the American mid-term elections, and the other after the (D) victory manifest, wonderfully state my own views, far more clearly and coherently than I could, though my October 31 The upcoming US midterm elections, and coming turmoil in the next two years thread offers a more tactical view consistent with,and over the years informed by, Martin's analysis.

Martin's two US election essays:

• The election beyond politics -- A possible turning point in the struggle over who really governs
• Oh, what a wonderful sting operation! -- Why an obviously rigged election may be better than an honestly won one

We are engaged in, or should I say witnesses to, a great struggle, to end thousands of years of deep covert control of our civilization by dark spirits.

Well said, well considered, Martin. Thanks.

Martin also offered an AI generated summary of (and links to) these two essays in an email he sent to those subscribed to his Substack: Martin Geddes — Future of Communications Newsletter:

=== ===

Two essays by Martin Geddes — The election beyond politics and Oh, what a wonderful sting operation! — offer a counterintuitive interpretation of the November 2026 US midterm elections.

Their central insight is that elections can change who holds office without changing who controls the machinery of power.

From this follows a strategic inversion: an apparent electoral victory can preserve a compromised system, while an apparent defeat can expose it. The real contest may therefore concern the legitimacy and control of the governing architecture, not the distribution of offices within it.

Geddes interprets the election through the possibility of a long-running military intelligence operation designed to expose systemic corruption. That operational interpretation remains unverified. The structural analysis, however, has implications independent of whether the proposed operation exists.

From DD Geopolitics:


https://t.me/DDGeopolitics/197325

Ok Democrats. Your turn. We'll wait...

[Rizotto]

So, what's the solution? A real and long-lasting solution?

The midterms results show that the American public is outraged about the Trump regime. But we all know that most politicians from both sides are owned by the zionist Israel lobby. That's the main reason the same problems remain from one political win/loss to another.

The cycle will go on until Americans revolt:

• Mass street protests,
• refusing to pay taxes,
• refusing military enrollment,
• nation-wide labour strikes.

Such an all-out revolution should do it, but at enormous costs for each individual. That's probably why American haven't yet done it. The middle class economic situation isn't quite imploded enough yet, and weighed against the costs of a revolution it still seems better to try to vote their way out.

Creating a 3rd party free from zio-Israel shackles would be one solution, which a small group of pioneer politicians and journalists are currently trying to do (e.g. Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Joe Kent, Thomas Massie, to name a few). But there are major obstacles in the way, not the least ones being Israel's propensity to conduct assassinations of public figures they deem contrary to their 'greater Israel' (and world control?) agenda. The USA is Israel's essential cash cow. Israel will try and control USA as long as the USA remains the biggest economy with the most powerful military in the world.

The biggest concern now, will Trump obey Netanyahu's request and nuke Iran and start WW3 within the next few weeks, while the Republicans still have control of the House & Senate?

AIPAC - November 4, 2026:

"AIPAC congratulates the hundreds of pro-Israel Democrats and Republicans who won their elections last night. More than 234 candidates supported by AIPAC members have already won, with many additional races still too close to call. We congratulate Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries on the resounding victories for their caucuses.

AIPAC members are determined to expand their political activism in the cycles ahead. Our community will increase its support for Democrats and Republicans who recognize that a strong partnership with Israel helps keep both countries secure, advances peace and stability, promotes democratic values, and grows our economy through trade and innovation."
