I’ve speculated on this, and I feel like it’s likely that Russia will step up oil exports to Cuba to make up for shortfalls caused by Sheinbaum’s capitulation to our zionist government.

I am thinking anti-usury, restriction of pornography, pro-isolationist and withdrawing from eastern hemisphere, pro-universal healthcare…what else?

That should not be a bombshell. It was obvious from day one in March 2020 that ‘covid’ was a total fraud and a crime against humanity. It was a business model, more precisely the same business model that existed on Bill Gates’ operating system: First you issue the ‘virus’, then you charge for the ‘solution’.

Heads up.
https://x.com/great_martis/status/2019157560373440786 Posted by: unimperator | Feb 4 2026 21:53 utc | 60 The point is how many Epstein-like cells have there been or still exist in the world. It might explain why so many politicians seemingly tow the line at some point in their careers to be willing supporters of the Zionist state. Lead or gold in the envelope. Even Jews don’t escape this one if it suits the purposes of the top Zionists. My view is that this goes way back to the pedophile groups that even Emmeline Pankhurst refers to in her account of the struggle to get women the vote in Britain when she was perpetually conned by the British government and its lofty politicians.

My (tragic) translation is that the US empire and it’s Zionazi Khazar outpost won’t meet Vučić’ deadline of “48 hours”. I’d say at least not even within a week from now. Because the Zionazi cowards beat up the defenseless child when they can’t attack the person who can defend himself. Posted by: xor | Feb 4 2026 22:14 utc | 66 Left and right are paradigms and labels that belong to the ruling class. It’s like they assigned us team names and colors and then rang the bell so we can all bludgeon each other to death. Once we’re distracted, they can rape and murder young kids to their black hearts’ content.

The Epstein scandal, which has been simmering for years in US alt_news comment threads gas exploded in the UK this week as attedntion shifted from ormer Prince Randy Andy and underage girls to the exact nature of former UK Ambassador to the USA Peter (Mandy) Mandelson’s frienship with Epstein, the story behind the large sums of money paid into Mandy’s bank account by Epstein and the lage amounts of sensitive and secret financial and government information passed to Epstein by Mandy.One aspect of the story that has interested me for years but is rarely mentioned in mainstream news is the mystery of Epstein’s enormous wealth. Reportedly the guy did now own any companies or control any hedge funds so how did he afford the private jets, private islands and multiple luxury homes. And how did he manage to fund a network ofsex operatives and procures to draw so many wealthy and influential individuals ino his web? And for what – blackmail? Espionage?The next question is who paid? Certain multi – billionaires have been linked to the scandal but what would they have to gain. Some have suggested he was a Russian or Israeli ‘asset’. It doesn’t seem like Russia’s style to me and what would Israel have to gain when they have a lot of financial an political clout in the US already.My bet is Epstein was working for China.I’d also bet this story still has a long way to run, keeping the focus on sexual depravity has served to contain it, but if as I suspect the Mandelson angle shifts the focus onto who and what Epstein really was I think it is going to get much bigger and wider.
