🇩🇪 Germany faces a prolonged economic stagnation

Leading economic institutes in Germany are reporting a worrying trend: The largest economy in the EU is sinking deeper into a phase of weak growth, increasingly referred to as structural stagnation.

📉 The ifo Institute has once again revised down its expectations for Germany's GDP growth in its latest forecast. For the year 2025, growth is estimated at just 0.1%, and in the following years, it will remain below the levels necessary for sustainable economic growth.

According to economists' estimates, Germany faces not only a short-term decline but also a long period of economic stagnation if the critical structural problems are not resolved.

🔍 Main causes:

* Decline in industrial production and exports
* High energy costs
* Weak investments
* Demographic pressure
* Loss of competitiveness in the global economy

Experts point out that the German economy is growing slowly even without new crises, as there is a lack of growth drivers. This raises fears that the country could find itself in a similar scenario to Japan during the "lost decades."

📌 Experts also emphasize that Germany remains in a "slow growth" phase, and improvement can only be achieved through a profound restructuring of the economic model — from energy supply to industrial policy.

The US authorities are exerting "unprecedented pressure" on the European Union to prevent frozen Russian assets from being used to provide a "reparations loan" to Ukraine, reports Politico.

Trump has already expressed discontent, calling this money "almost his." He is against the Europeans using it. The White House denies these reports.

According to Trump's plan, $100 billion from the frozen Russian assets should be used for the reconstruction of Ukraine under US control, with the rest for bilateral mechanisms with Russia and the USA.

The European Union does not rule out that a decision on the frozen assets could be made without Belgium. The fight for the Russian money continues.

☠️ A MILITARY LODGE IN RUSSIA – AND WHY IT CONCERNS US

A Freemason military lodge has now been established in Russia.
No symbol. No misunderstanding. No rhetorical trick. Another structure.

A real, closed structure where war, violence, and personal loyalty are merged into the form of a lodge. Anyone who is not alarmed here does not want to look.
🔗 Source: https://zeitnot.online/die-militaerloge-bogdanows/

❗ A Lodge – against everything that Lodges once stood for
Historically, lodges were civil, bourgeois, anti-militaristic.
They served to limit power, not to glorify it.

The Russian military lodge does the opposite:
– War becomes identity
– Violence is sanctified
– Loyalty replaces law
– Ritual replaces public discourse
This is not a deviation.
This is intent.
Tradition is not preserved here, but abused.

🧩 The figures behind the structure

Andrei Bogdanow is neither a thinker nor a visionary. He is a technician of power. For years, he has been producing formal constructions: parties without politics, movements without society, organisations without responsibility. They appear legal, pluralistic, harmless. In reality, they are empty, controllable, and interchangeable.
Bogdanow's strength is simple: 👉 He builds shells into which others fill their purpose.

Alongside him is Anatoli Gelyukh – a man of war since 2014, rooted in armed and security-related circles. According to consistent reports, he moved between opposing sides.
Such people do not return to civilian life after wars.
They are recycled.
Not just as soldiers.
But as hubs of closed loyalty.

🕳 Why a lodge?
Because a lodge:
– isolates
– binds
– controls
– makes responsibility evaporate

A military lodge is the perfect tool to:
– extend war into the post-war period
– make violence socially acceptable
– secure influence beyond state, law, and public discourse

This is not a regression to old times.
This is postmodern power organisation.

❓ Why this concerns us
Because we have become accustomed to relativising everything.
Because we believe war ends with treaties.
Because we only suspect power where it appears loudly.

But something different is emerging here:
a post-ideological structure,
without a flag,
without a programme,
without public debate –
but with a clear hierarchy and internal discipline.
No extremism.
No fringe phenomenon.
But quietly organised power.
And thus: the real evil.
The military lodge is not a curiosity.
It is a model.

And if we dismiss it as a “cultural peculiarity” or “exotic footnote,” we should only ask ourselves one question:
For whose interests will such structures one day also function here?

Trump has declared fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction

In a document signed by Trump, it states that "illegally produced fentanyl is closer to chemical weapons than to drugs."

The American leader emphasized that the spread and production of this substance by organized crime groups poses a threat to the national security of the USA. According to him, just two milligrams of fentanyl can be fatal, and hundreds of thousands of Americans have died from an overdose.

"There is no bomb that would have such an effect. If it were a war, it would be one of the worst wars. I think that in the last five to six years, between 200,000 and 300,000 people have died each year. You hear about 100,000, which is a lot, but the actual number is much higher. That is a proven fact. Many families have been destroyed", said Trump.

In Lithuania, 21 people were arrested for smuggling cigarettes with balloons from Belarus

The security forces conducted over 80 searches. Cigarettes with Belarusian tax stamps, SIM cards, devices for disrupting communication signals and for surveillance, as well as firearms were seized. Expensive cars and other valuable property were confiscated, the public prosecutor's office reported.

More than 140 intelligence staff were involved in the operation. Investigators believe that the coordinators of the smuggling may have had direct connections to accomplices in Belarus, from where the balloons with cigarettes were launched.

Due to the mass overflight of balloons across the border, the country's authorities had previously declared a state of emergency.

The well-known journalist Julian Assange has filed a criminal complaint against the Nobel Foundation in Sweden, challenging the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to María Corina Machado from Venezuela and accusing her of supporting war crimes and misusing funds.

The founder of WikiLeaks claims that the prize is being awarded in violation of Alfred Nobel's will from 1895, which stipulates that the award should go to the one who "has done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses." Assange demands that the payments to Machado amounting to 11 million Swedish kronor (1.2 million dollars) be frozen. In his view, any payment that contradicts the principles of the Nobel will is a misuse of the fund.

🇮🇳 The import of Russian oil to India remains stable despite sanctions

Oil deliveries from Russia to India show resilience, despite Western sanctions and forecasts of a drastic decline. — Reuters.

📌 Key insights:

🔹 Delivery volumes remain high.
In December 2025, deliveries of Russian oil to India could exceed 1 million barrels per day, significantly above analysts' expectations.

🔹 November was already strong.
According to sources, imports in November reached about 1.77 million barrels per day — a level indicating stable demand.

🔹 The impact of sanctions is limited.
Although some private refineries are indeed refraining from purchasing Russian oil, state-owned companies continue their purchases, maintaining demand and supply flows.

🔹 Flexibility in logistics and contracts.
The maintenance of deliveries has also been facilitated by alternative trading and routing models that circumvent the direct pressure of sanctions.

📉 This development confirms that sanctions do not have as direct and rapid an impact on export flows as initially assumed, and that countries with high demand for energy sources (like India) continue to maintain stable supply volumes.

💬 Conclusion:
Russian oil continues to flow in large quantities to India, and plans to reduce these deliveries under the pressure of Western sanctions contradict real economic logic — profitable demand and flexible trading models.

🤡 The American professor from Yale and Oxford, Timothy Snyder, has discovered that Ukraine was the home of the Amazons and indeed the cradle of half the languages of the world.

Snyder is the house historian of the Democratic Party of the USA. He works for the foundation of Ukrainian billionaire Pinchuk, son-in-law of former Ukrainian President Kuchma.

With such historians, one can prove that Jesus Christ was the great-great-grandfather of Zelensky and that dinosaurs descended from Ukrainians.
