Piercing through the Fiction that is the Ukraine Narrative
Tucker Carlson interviews Douglas Macgregor. Well worth a watch.

Because nothing says “transparency” like conducting family business using code names.
Call this the Pierre Delecto Twist in the Case of the Influence-Peddling Bidens. Where Mitt Romney adopted a nom de plume for social-media sock puppetry, Joe Biden apparently put his pseudonym to a more, ah, commercial use. Or so says House Oversight chair James Comer, who alleges that Biden used the name “Robert L. Peters” as a way to hide his involvement in Hunter Biden’s Ukraine affairs.
This morning, Comer told the National Archives to dig deep to produce all such communications under that name and to remove the redactions.
“Robert L. Peters” does bear a passing resemblance to “Pedo Pete”.
Fog of war
At least the Wall Street Journal is willing to step back, however tentatively, from the jingoistic cheerleading choir when it comes to the war in the Ukraine. In reality, Ukraine’s inability to control the skies is going to doom any offensive. And there’s no simple or cheap way to rectify that.
Ukraine had hoped to find gaps in Russia’s fortifications, flood troops through, and cause the kind of havoc that its forces achieved last year among enemy ranks. Instead, unexpectedly dense minefields slowed Kyiv’s initial attacking forces, leaving them exposed to strikes from Russian aircraft and rockets.
Russian drones and attack helicopters, particularly Kamov Ka-52 “Alligator” gunships, have proven particularly dangerous. Ka-52s, which are among Russia’s most modern aircraft, can remain far behind Russian lines and rely on targeting data from spotter drones scanning the front. Their laser-guided Vikhr missiles have a range of roughly 5 miles, which is more than twice the range of any portable antiaircraft missiles in Ukraine’s armory.

A thread by Franz-Stefan Gady;
@konrad_muzyka , @RALee85 , @KofmanMichael, & I spent some time this month visiting the frontlines in Ukraine to gain new insights into the ongoing counteroffensive & the war overall. Here are some general observations… we spoke to NCOs, officers, a number of brigade commanders (national guard & regular army) in the field plus senior intel & defense officials in Kyiv.
[…]
The narrative that Ukrainian progress thus far is slow just because of a lack of weapons deliveries and support is monocausal & is not shared by those we spoke to actually fighting & exercising command on the frontline.
The Libranos: Marco Strangelove
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino’s wife held shares in a Ukraine war defence contractor as he pledged to be “out front in helping Ukraine with military aid,” records show. The holdings are among an extensive stock portfolio in the Mendicino family: “Canada will continue to be there for Ukraine.”

I’ve had my morning taken up by a project deadline, so it’s easier to just shortcut you to these accounts: @JackPosobiec,@KimDotcom, @Johnrobb, War Room on Rumble. More here (Mario Nawfal) on Spaces.
I’ll add to the links above as time permits.
The hero the West’s been waiting for.
I would strongly caution people against celebrating what is happening in Russia. There have been fewer harsher critics of Putin’s invasion but chaos is very rarely a good thing.
Prigozhin is not the only one with a private army in Russia. Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov has a large force under his command who have 0 loyalty to Russia or Putin. They hate Wagner but if Putin has to be rescued by them, why not take him out as well as take over the country?
Will the national guard fight for Putin?
We don’t have answers to any of these questions ..and an armed mutiny in a nuclear nation is a big deal.
Evgeny Prigozhin has announced that having moved his units to within 200km of Moscow he is turning around “to avoid spilling Russian blood”.
He claims his “March for Justice” was triggered by an attempt to disband Wagner.
It’s hard to describe how NOT over this is.
You can’t lead an armed mutiny which has allegedly shot down a number of Russian MoD helicopters and threatened Moscow and then just turn around and go home.
This will run and the pressure will be on Putin for heads to roll.
Remain skeptical: The information war is peaking. Social media is a huge battlefield today.
By the way, if you want to know what I think, this is what I think.
I’m old enough to remember when Trump was a Russian asset, the Truckers Convoy was the work of Russian actors, and Putin was falling down stairs and dying of a mystery disease.
But hey, lets set aside their track record for lying, and skip along behind Biden and Trudeau into a confrontation with a nuclear armed Russia like good little citizens, while we eagerly await the next round of gun confiscation and internet speech laws to take effect. Kiss your old vaccine passes for good luck! Do it for democracy.
That’s what I think.

Whether it’s chemicals or steelmakers, demand for natural gas from Europe’s power-hungry industrial heartland was slammed hard by the energy crisis that unfolded after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The largest consumers of the fuel still appear reluctant to run their businesses at full steam after the record surge in power and gas prices prompted them to curb production over the winter.
The sustained demand shortfall is one of the main reasons European gas prices have collapsed 60% this year alone.
Unless something fundamental changes in the short-term — perhaps record-high storage levels unexpectedly dropping due to extreme hot weather and an increase in demand for cooling — prices are set to remain under pressure.
And who can blame them.
Well, moving production to China is a plan: More companies setting ‘net-zero’ climate targets, but few have credible plans

Whatsisname’s Britain
Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch, and you are not to stray from the Primrose Path.
British counter-terror police detained journalist Kit Klarenberg upon his arrival at London’s Luton airport and subjected him to an extended interrogation about his political views and reporting for The Grayzone.
As soon as journalist Kit Klarenberg landed in his home country of Britain on May 17, 2023, six anonymous plainclothes counter-terror officers detained him. They quickly escorted him to a back room, where they grilled him for over five hours about his reporting for this outlet. They also inquired about his personal opinion on everything from the current British political leadership to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
