Musk may take on Soros

Elon Musk says that legal action will be taken to stop “forces that want to limit citizens’ freedom of expression” – which in this context is interpreted to mean that he may be about to sue the lobbying and advocacy organizations funded by globalist George Soros.

Last week, American writer Michael Schellenberg shared and commented on an article by Irish journalist Ben Scallan that NGOs funded by currency speculator and oligarch George Soros want to restrict freedom of speech and impose harsh penalties on those who allegedly spread disinformation or “hate”.

“Politicians & George Soros-funded NGOs say “hate incidents” are rising, but they’re not. The data show the opposite: higher-than-ever and rising levels of tolerance of minorities. The reason they’re spreading hate misinformation is to justify a draconian crackdown on free speech”, Schellenberg commented on X (formerly Twitter), echoed by its owner Elon Musk.

“Exactly. X will be filing legal action to stop this. Can’t wait for discovery to start!”, he replied.

Exactly what legal action Musk intends to take is unclear, but many interpret this to mean that he is prepared to sue the Soros-controlled organizations that work to deprive citizens of their freedom of expression. Musk has previously stated that Twitter/X should be free of censorship, calling freedom of speech the “bedrock of a functioning democracy”.

Notorious for his subversive activism, George Soros has been accused of trying to undermine the American legal system, funding technical equipment for illegal immigrants to avoid arrest, and donating billions to many other political projects aimed at changing society. Earlier this summer, it was announced that the oligarch’s multi-billion dollar empire will now be run by his son Alexander, who has been described as “even more political” than his father.

In this context, it is also worth mentioning that Elon Musk has previously said that Soros “wants to erode the very fabric of civilization” and that he “hates humanity“.

Pro-Israeli bimbo gets congressional mandate to reveal US state secrets

Donald Trump's USA

Anna Paulina Luna has been tasked by Congress with, among other things, uncovering the state secrets surrounding the September 11 attacks - but stresses that her task force “lacks authority”.
Share via

The US House of Representatives has appointed Anna Paulina Luna to head a task force that will work to declassify classified documents relating to the JFK assassination, 9/11 and the Epstein investigation, among others.

Luna is a freshman in Congress and has previously worked as a swimsuit model and waitress at a men’s club.

The task force was appointed by the House Oversight Committee, where the Republican majority is pushing for greater transparency of previously classified documents. It is not confirmed whether Luna was chosen for the position on Donald Trump’s direct initiative or through other Republican party structures.

Luna herself has expressed support for Trump and is described as part of the more conservative wing of the party. Her political profile has been characterized by criticism of established institutions and calls for greater transparency, which is a key issue for the task force she will now lead.

However, her appointment has been met with skepticism, with several voices questioning her experience and suitability to handle highly sensitive documents.

Three-time name changer

Anna Paulina Luna was born Anna Paulina Mayerhofer in 1989 and has undergone several name changes. After being married to military officer Andrew Gamberzky, she bore his surname, before starting to use Anna Paulina while working for the conservative organization Turning Point USA. In 2019, she formally changed her surname to Luna, which she has explained as a way to emphasize her Mexican heritage.

Her biography has come under scrutiny, and some of her own statements about her family background have been questioned. For example, she has claimed that her father was a Messianic Jew, while relatives have stated that he was in fact Catholic.

Luna has confirmed that she worked as a cocktail waitress at a gentlemen’s club, but there have also been unconfirmed rumors that she was a stripper at the Red Rose Gentleman’s Club in Florida.

She has also worked as a swimsuit model for various publications, including Sports Illustrated.

Picture of Luna from Sports Illustrated published in Orlando Local News.

In addition, there have been allegations that she falsely registered to vote in Florida and that she claimed that Republican strategist Roger Stone tried to poison her. However, none of these allegations have been substantiated by independent investigations.

“Bibi in the House”

Luna has openly and consistently expressed strong support for Israel in both bills and public statements. On July 24, 2024, she attended a congressional meeting where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was speaking, and posted a picture of herself with him on social media with the caption “Bibi in the House”.

Luna poses with Netanyahu during his visit to Washington.

In October 2023, she introduced the “Stand with Israel Act” (H.R. 6118), which aims to stop all funding to the UN Human Rights Council until the UN Security Council and General Assembly condemn Palestinian Hamas for the attacks of October 7, 2023.

Her commitment to Israel has led to questions about her impartiality in carrying out the mission, especially as some of the events she will now review – notably the Jeffrey Epstein case and the 9/11 attacks – have been the subject of speculation over the years about possible involvement of Israeli intelligence services.

Unclear mandate

The task force is also met with scepticism, partly because it is highly unclear how the declassification will be carried out in practice or what timeframes will apply, and Luna herself admits that she does not really have a mandate to carry out her task.

– It’s important to note that we don’t have documents yet, and we also don’t hold declassification authority, she says in a public video explaining the mission.

 

Luna herself adds that she wants the American public to have access to the truth behind these events and that she will work to make “as much information as possible” available.

Political elite furious as Trump seeks to broker peace

Donald Trump's USA

The US announcements that the US and Russia will negotiate peace in Ukraine, that Ukrainian NATO membership is unthinkable, and that a return to the 2014 borders is unrealistic have sent establishment politicians on both sides of the Atlantic into a rage.

“Surrender and betrayal”, thunders Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal, arguing that the announcement “amounts to abandoning Ukraine, and undercutting the security of our European allies”.

His colleague from California, Adam Schiff, is equally outraged, complaining that Trump “called our enemy, Russia, before calling our ally, Ukraine”.

“Let’s not mince words about what this represents: a surrender of Ukraine’s interests and our own, even before negotiations begin. Trump’s a great dealmaker all right – for the Kremlin”, he claims.

“A dark day”

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk expresses his disappointment that there will not be a “just peace” and says that “Ukraine, Europe and the United States should work on this together”.

Estonian politician Marko Mihkelson goes even further, claiming that “today might go down in history as a dark day for Europe”, demanding that EU leaders act immediately and “take our fate into our own hands”.

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius is also not happy with the US announcement that a return to Ukrainian borders before 2014 is unrealistic.

– It would have been better to talk about Ukraine’s possible NATO membership or the country’s possible loss of territory at the negotiating table, he says.

“Invitation to despots and tyrants”

The EU’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas also condemns the US efforts, saying that “Ukraine’s independence and territorial integrity are unconditional”.

Seven European countries, together with the European Commission, are also calling for Ukraine and the EU to be given seats at the negotiating table, while France’s foreign minister, Jean-Noël Barrot, says the US action opens the door to dictatorship and tyranny.

– Abandoning Ukraine would be a definitive recognition of the right of the strongest. It would be an invitation to all despots and tyrants around the world to invade their neighbors with total impunity.

“Our line is firm”

Sweden’s Defense Minister Pål Jonson (M) also reacted strongly, saying that despite the US announcement, Ukraine may well become a NATO member in the future.

– Hegseth said that NATO membership cannot be part of this political peace agreement. Then there is (another) agreement from (the previous NATO summit in) Washington that says that Ukraine’s future is in NATO, but of course it must first meet the political requirements for membership.

The Swedish minister goes on to say that only Ukraine can decide whether or not to give up territory to Russia, and states that Sweden and other European allies remain committed to the country’s “territorial integrity”.

– Let’s have some ice in our stomachs now. Our line is firm, he urges.

“A day of triumph for Putin”

On the editorial pages of several Swedish establishment media, there is almost a mood of doom. Svenska Dagbladet’s Olof Ehrenkrona, for example, believes that “Donald Trump’s United States is actively undermining Europe’s security”.

“No decent and lasting peace is likely as long as Putin is in charge in the Kremlin”, he states, calling the US announcement a “day of triumph” for Putin.

“He (Putin) is fooling the great negotiator who now appears to be a weakling and a loser”, he adds.

Meanwhile, Trump supporters and others who have long called for increased peace efforts in Ukraine note that EU leaders and the former Biden administration have had three full years to bring peace to the country – but that they have not been interested in any such efforts or made any major efforts to end the war.

Instead, the focus has been on raising tensions and escalating the conflict further – partly by sending advanced weapons systems to Ukraine that can strike targets inside Russia – but also by claiming in various statements that Europe or NATO could soon be at full-scale war with Russia.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. confirmed as the new US Secretary of Health

Donald Trump's USA

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been confirmed as the new US Secretary of Health and Human Services following a Senate vote in which 52 senators supported his nomination while 48 opposed. Republican veteran Mitch McConnell was the only one in his party to vote against, citing Kennedy’s controversial statements on vaccines.

Hailed by his supporters for his opposition to the influence of pharmaceutical giants, Kennedy has promised to launch a “health revolution”. His reform agenda includes tougher rules on clinical trials and drug pricing – a commitment that financial analysts say has led to falls in the share values of companies such as Pfizer and Moderna of up to 15% since his nomination. He also plans to work with the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement to limit chemical additives in food.

Kennedy has worked closely with President Donald Trump to overhaul the Medicare and Medicaid health care programs. The reforms also include a push for alternative therapies, which has attracted support from conservative groups.

He has also taken aim at the FDA, which he says is “corrupt” and accused of colluding with the pharmaceutical industry.

– We will make sure our tax dollars support healthy foods. We will scrutinize the chemical additives in our food supply. We will remove the financial conflicts of interest in our agencies, he said.

The family’s political heritage weighs heavily – Kennedy is the son of assassinated Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy. Despite his Democratic background, he has moved closer to Trump’s policies, which were seen as an opportunity to push through controversial health reforms under the current administration.

Pentagon rules out NATO membership for Ukraine in peace process

The war in Ukraine

US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced that Ukraine will not join NATO as part of any ceasefire agreement with Russia. He stressed that attempts to reinstate Ukraine’s 2014 borders are “unrealistic”, and that no US troops will be deployed to enforce such an agreement.

Kiev has repeatedly argued that NATO membership is a key security guarantee, and President Volodymyr Zelenskyj says it is a precondition for resuming dialogue with Moscow.

Despite this, NATO has never presented a membership timetable for Ukraine, and several officials point out that membership is not an option during the current conflict.

Hegseth stressed during a meeting in Brussels that security guarantees for Ukraine must be backed by strong troops from both Europe and other parts of the world.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump has previously expressed doubts about the security benefits of NATO membership, saying it could exacerbate tensions with Russia.

Moscow has long opposed Ukraine’s membership aspirations, arguing that NATO’s expansion towards its borders threatens Russian security and that Ukraine should adopt a neutral position in a future peace agreement.
