1/5 Elon Musk is attacking Wikipedia after failing to buy it in order to turn it into a Kremlin propaganda machine (he really doesn't want you to verify facts!) Image
2/5 Elon Musk has once again criticized Wikipedia and urged his followers to stop donating to the platform. He previously made an offer to purchase Wikipedia, and it seems that offer is still on the table. Image
3/5 Musk seems determined to hinder Americans' ability to easily verify facts or access information. He appears willing to do whatever it takes to make many Americans even more unaware than they already are. Image
4/5 Now is the perfect time to donate to Wikipedia to ensure it remains as it is and doesn't get purchased by a far-right oligarch who would transform it into a Kremlin propaganda tool. Image
5/5 Sources:
NY Post - Elon Musk urges supporters not to donate to Wikipedia after it spent $50M on DEI: ‘Wokepedia’
The Economic Times - Elon Musk’s $1 Billion Offer to Wikipedia Still Stands Image

1/6 The Russia hoax was never a hoax.

Trump was compromised by Moscow then and he is compromised now.

The Epstein emails show why Moscow was thrilled to have Trump in the White House.

This is not speculation. It is documented Image
2/6 Back in his first term, Trump’s campaign was run by Paul Manafort, a man deeply tied to Russia.

Trump’s team secretly met with Russians, accepted intel, and used it against Clinton and later Biden.

That was not a hoax. It was collusion Image
3/6 Russia helped Trump win, and Trump repaid them by undermining NATO and defending Moscow at every turn.

He acted like someone protecting himself, not his country Image

1/8 The Epstein Emails Also Expose Musk, Thiel, and Vance.

Musk and Thiel are in the files. Vance is their ticket to stay in control.

Next they will want to rewrite history and keep power. Hold the receipts Image
2/8 Do not let the post-Trump power brokers gaslight you.

Thiel, Musk and Vance want to keep control of the White House.

They helped put Trump in power knowing what Epstein and Russia had on him.

Now they want you to forget. Do not let them! Image
3/8 Epstein bragged about Trump spending hours with victims and hinted at Kremlin leverage before the Helsinki summit.

Trump knew. Epstein knew. Russia knew.

And the other billionaires who bankrolled Trump’s comeback knew too Image

1/5 We may finally know why Trump has been betraying the United States to push Russian interests over American ones.

The newly published Epstein emails reveal something explosive Image
2/5 The emails show Trump was far more aware of and involved in Epstein’s activities than previously proven.

Many suspected this, but now there is documented evidence, which is the surprising part Image
3/5 Even more disturbing: there is now proof that Epstein was advising Russians on how to handle Trump, basically acting as a Russian asset.

This suggests Russia had leverage over Trump and could blackmail him if it wanted to Image

1/9 Europe isn’t ready for war.

@BohdanKrotevych warns the continent is playing at war instead of preparing for it.

Billions are spent on buzzwords like “AI” and the “drone revolution,” feeding an illusion of control.

Real war demands structure, discipline, and trained people Image
2/9 At a Kyiv event on the “drone wall”, Krotevych asked: Can you shift what does not exist?

Europe’s front line is imaginary.

Europe is not ready for real war. If Russia attacks the Baltics tomorrow, most European armies would collapse under their own illusions Image
3/9 His core point: equipment does not fight on its own.

A drone, a tank, a fighter jet are tools, not solutions.

Without trained people, logistics and command systems, they are just expensive metal Image

1/6 Russia’s war economy is cracking under stagflation.

Ukraine’s ongoing strike campaign could make things worse Image
2/6 Stagflation might become a word Russians know well. Growth is falling while inflation stays quite high.

Oil revenues plunged 27% YoY in October, and non-oil revenues fell by 4% Image
3/6 Russia collected ₽888.6B ($9.7B) from oil and gas taxes in October, down 27% from last year.

Mineral extraction tax fell 26%.

Oil and gas revenues for 2025 are ₽2T lower than 2024 Image

1/6 How long do we want Russia’s war on Ukraine to last?

Do we actually even want to end it?

Right now Europe and the US act like they are fine with it dragging on for years.

We have the tools to end it faster Image
2/6 We keep hoping the war will end by itself. It won’t.

Every month we delay, more Ukrainians die, Russia gets bolder, and the cost to us grows.

Waiting is not strategy that works Image
3/6 The US wants Europe to take responsibility.

Europe fears it and waits to see what Washington does, hoping Trump will magically end the war.

It won’t happen.

We can’t let Trump and Putin decide Europe’s fate Image
