This is insane. An FBI agent was lamenting that Trump wasn't killed?

I've become convinced that this guy is our inside man. His X timeline is a treasure trove of data points. He doesn't post often, but when he does, the subject matter is signal-adjacent.

Look at what he posted on Saturday night, and the response.

(h/t @JustHuman_Kyle for bringing him to our attention.)

He's been at the heart of the tension between Netanyahu and Washington. He has been the one calling out Bibi for lying in public statements, and cancelling meetings where the Israelis wanted to discuss war with Iran.

Given everything I've been researching and discussing lately, it's hard to not see the signal here.

Here's the full X post that he quoted.

"[Hochstein] does not think African governments should look exclusively to any country including the US. He believes competition is good and African governments should pursue the U.S. EU, China the Gulf and more. That the idea that the world can depend on one region for supply of any strategic mineral makes the whole world vulnerable and could impact our entire global economic stability and security adversely."

Sounds to me like Hochstein supports the Multipolar World that Putin and the Sovereign Alliance seeks to establish.

Signal from the UAE.

Kids in Africa (Uganda) reenact the assassination attempt against President Trump.

Africa also hails President Putin as a savior, as Russia drives NATO and the UN off-continent.

We are witnessing a human revolution against the ancient powers of the Old Guard. What a time to be alive.

Yes.

This is all coming from John Cullen, who is convinced that there were at least 2 shooters. I remain skeptical— just sharing data— but Cullen is the guy who pieced together the Vegas shooting counter-narrative that it was a failed hit against the Saudi Crown Prince.

Today on Breaking History, Matt and I will discuss the assassination attempt against President Trump through the lens of history. Part of that discussion will include the geopolitical backdrop, and how the world stage correlates with the attempt to kill President Trump.

Join us at noon EST on @badlandsmedia.

Western companies are paying the price for the actions of their politicians - Foreign Policy

Skeptics' fears of Western plans to confiscate Russian assets are already beginning to come true. The G7 countries' decision to use future proceeds from these assets to provide Ukraine with a $50 billion loan will have to be paid for by Western companies remaining in Russia, the news outlet reported.

In the current situation, Moscow has every reason to take retaliatory measures and seize the assets of European companies. Caught between two fires, Western enterprises remaining in Russia ultimately find a way out by selling their businesses to Russian buyers, or risk becoming objects of political controversy.

Since 2022, about 1,000 foreign companies have left Russia due to sanctions policies towards Moscow and have lost about $107 billion. Multi-billion dollar losses and constant risks of losing your business in Russia - this is the price of sanctions by the collective West for the sake of supporting Ukraine. Over the course of several years of restrictions in relation to Moscow, it became obvious that the Russian economy can cope quite well without its former Western “partners,” and the sanctions policy has caused serious damage not so much to Russia as to the West itself.

Tracks with what [Biden diplomat] Amos Hochstein posted back in March...

They tried assassinating President Trump, of course they’ll be willing to steal the election from him again.

It’s our job to help make sure they can’t get away with it.

H/T @GreenStar_17 for the solid edit from Monday’s episode of badlands daily.

Matt Ehret just brought this to my attention...
