Putin has been consistent from the before the Military Operation that he simply wants to be left alone by NATO, the EU and the US. His terms for peace have been reasonable and have not changed.
Alastair Crooke:
"There are reports that Macron and Starmer agreed in a conversation that Zelensky must conduct some provocative operation [this week]
"--a false flag operation or a provocative attack into Russia, into the depth of Russia or something else--sufficient to create an absolute pressure on Putin to respond, and thus to destroy the meeting altogether, to stop the meeting taking place.
"The Europeans are terrified of the [Alaska] meeting taking place [on Friday] and they want to stop it. I believe the Russians have probably picked up on it, suggesting that there is going to be an attempt to create some incident, some security catastrophe, that creates the impossibility of following up on this meeting. And the Euros are trying to insert Zelensky into Alaska, whether invited or uninvited, to sit there on the borders and to sort of toss verbal hand grenades into it.
"I don't think Trump will [bring Zelensky]. I think he understands that Putin won't do this with Zelensky, but this is part of the disruption tactics the Europeans are using."
It’s a digital pacifier which offers users the ability to remain emotional infants their entire lives without ever needing to develop a mature relationship with uncomfortable feelings.
It’s the next level of services designed to help the denizens of dystopia avoid their feelings and sedate their emotions into a coma while the world [self-destructs].
Our rulers want us dumb, distracted, vapid and dissociated. And they definitely don’t want us feeling the horror, grief and rage we should all be experiencing in response to this nightmare of a civilization they have designed for us.

According to newly released state-level filings and national survey estimates, homeschool enrollment has now surged past its highest level on record, marking a dramatic acceleration of a trend that began during COVID and never slowed down. What once looked like a temporary shift has now become a generational realignment.
Reasons parents give? Government schooling is anti-academic, anti-Christian and anti-parent.
Nationally, estimates now place homeschool participation at roughly 5.7 to 6 million students.
With Covid shots, what we have is — picture a middle-aged woman in Orange County, California, who gets a Covid shot and then she gets myocarditis. So now she has to do regular appointments with the cardiologist. She’s in and out of the hospital, she’s sick all the time. So over the course of the next five to ten years of her life, her health care costs are going to be in the range of about $2 million. And that all goes to Pharma, doctors, and the pharmaceutical industrial complex.
If that same woman was enslaved in a gold mine in South America, you could only get about $20,000 worth of labor out of her — the most if you worked her to the bone. And then she would, you know, eventually, perish. The old model of colonialism, right? But in five to 10 years in the U.S. you can squeeze $2 million out of this one person through iatrogenic [caused by medical examination or treatment] injury, through a Covid shot that causes myocarditis that sends her in and out of the hospital for 10 ...
