ORBAN’S MISSIONS TO KIEV AND MOSCOW
The Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, recently visited Kiev and Moscow in an effort to get some sort of peace process and negotiation started between the Russian Federation and the Ukraine, according to this story shared by E.G.:
Putin Tells Orban Moscow Ready For 'Complete & Final End' To Ukraine War
There is some telling language associated with this visit, language that needs close parsing, and typically, it is coming once again from Russian President Vladimir Putin:
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has showed up in Moscow Friday, on a surprise visit to meet with President Vladimir Putin which has at the same time outraged European officials.
Defying the EU, Orban wrote of the trip on X, "The #peace mission continues. Second stop: #Moscow." This "peace mission" comes a mere days after for the first time of the war he visited Kiev and met with President Zelensky to talk about getting the sides to the negotiating table.
What especially makes things awkward for European Union leadership is the fact that Hungary just recently took over the rotating EU presidency.
Putin alluded to this in televised comments, saying that Orban had come to Moscow precisely in this capacity as the top representative of the European Council. This despite a number of European officials having strongly condemned the visit.
"I understand that this time you have come not just as our longstanding partner but as president of the council," Putin told Orban. Putin said he's expecting that Orban will lay out "the position of European partners" on Ukraine(sic et passim).
While Orban had informed NATO about his intention to visit Moscow, EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell slammed the visit, saying the PM is "not representing the EU in any form." Borrell emphasized the trip is only in the context of "the framework of... bilateral relations between Hungary and Russia."
Borrell also reminded a press briefing that Putin "has been indicted by the International Criminal Court and an arrest warrant released for his role in relation to the forced deportation of children from Ukraine to Russia."
European Council President Charles Michel also said that Orban has "no mandate to engage with Russia on behalf of the EU." He posted on X just prior to Orban's meeting with Putin, "The European Council is clear: Russia is the aggressor, Ukraine is the victim. No discussions about Ukraine can take place without Ukraine." And Ursula von der Leyen has called the visit "appeasement".
What emerges from this summary is that apparently Mr. Putin has returned to the language he customarily used to describe the West prior to the Ukrainian special military operation; he once again described them as "European partners," a rather remarkable statement given the fact that most of the leaders of the rest of Europe are on record - as the article indicates - describing Russia as the aggressor, and insisting that no discussions about the Ukraine can take place "without the Ukraine." This, also, in spite of the fact that after what was apparently a lengthy meeting between Mr. Putin and Mr. Orban, Mr. Putin made it clear that Russia could more or less end things unilaterally, whether the Ukraine (or for that matter, Europe) wanted it or not:
Putin and Orban's meeting reportedly lasted hours, with Putin emerging from it and telling a press conference he supports "a complete and final end" to the Ukraine conflict rather than "some kind of truce or cease-fire." But he also stressed that for this to happen Ukrainian forces must withdraw from the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions - which are the four eastern territories which have been declared part of the Russian Federation.
He said that other terms of a permanent truce are "a subject for consideration." He described, "Russia is committed to the complete and definitive resolution of the conflict. The conditions for this are outlined in my speech (to the Foreign Ministry) – the withdrawal of all troops from the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions."
Short of a full scale NATO commitment of troops to the Ukraine - in the form of mercenary volunteers or conscripts from the now-being-considered drafts in the West - there is little the Ukraine can do to stop this militarily, and frankly, I'm not putting much faith in the woke military of the USA.
So, on the one hand, Mr. Putin is talking tough, and clear, and on the other, has revived the use of the term "partners" once again to describe the western leadership, pronouncements from Urusala von der Leyen, or as we like to call her, Medusala von der Lyin', notwithstanding. What's going on?
Time will tell, of course, but my high octane antennae are pulsing with suspicion here (to borrow Sir Laurence Olivier's line from the movie Sleuth). As the article notes, there's lots of huffing and puffing from the "leadership" of the European Union. But as the recent elections in Europe make abundantly clear, the support for Mr. Globaloney's projects and policies is waning... quickly. The fact that the Reform Party in the United Kingdom even gained any seats in the House of Commons is a huge fact and breakthrough, especially considering it started mere weeks ago; Equally huge is the all but total collapse of the British Conservative Party in the final logical end of its ouster of Mrs. Thatcher years ago, not to mention the declining votes for Labour in previous elections up to now (do not be deceived by the number of seats it now has in Commons), means that a political earthquake is underway in Britain (and we've not even mentioned the stunning showing of Marin le Pen in France).
Mr. Putin knows this, and so does Mr. Orban, and so do their advisors. What this means is that the huffing and puffing by Medusala von der Lyin' and her ilk in Europe are just that: huffing and puffing, and from a position of weakness at that. They face a choice, and neither one is terribly palatable to the globalooneyists running Europe: they can now urge the Ukraine to sit at the same table and talk with the Russians and hence lose a whole lot of face, or they can wait, be replaced in a populist upwelling, which will force any new leadership to do precisely the same thing. And meanwhile, as their own intelligence services have been warning, those Russian "horizontal escalations" within their own countries - the explosions and fires at munitions plants and so on - are slowly and gradually increasing. The drones have not dropped on any western leaders - yet - for the simple reason that election results were forcing the Russians to wait and see if they would result in some new governments that could actually act like adults and negotiate, or if they needed to target drones and fire polonium pellets at people other than Frau von der Lyin, M. Macron, and Mr. Sunak.
But whatever the insane globalooneys in Europe may say or think, there's another group that also probably gave the quiet behind-the-scenes green light to Mr. Orban's junket to Kiev and Moscow: business. What must always be remembered while listening to the latest shrieks from Medusala von der Lyin' and her ilk, is that the whole sanctions-confrontation-potential World War III scenario being pushed by Swampington DC and its sprouts in Brussels is that European business and most average Europeans want no part of it; recall only that as the whole confrontation was beginning to ratchet up in the twilight days of Angela Merkel and Francois Hollande, that German and Italian businessmen were quietly running off to Moscow to try to deal with Russia directly. The cracks between official policy and the populations or Europe are that old, and the rift is now spilling over into election results.
My point is thus rather easy to understand: Mr. Orban's trip was not simply a one-off, it was not simply a flight of fancy, even less was it Mr. Orban grandstanding or anything of the sort. He merely became the first European political leader to publicly acknowledge what everyone knew as early as the days of the Minsk accords, and which they've been afraid to admit: the whole experiment to bypass Russia and redraw the borders of Eastern Europe without it has been a colossal failure. Don't expect Italy to be far behind, and France is - shockingly - already coming to its senses. Mr. Farage is now in the House of Commons (I'm so looking forward to those sessions of Prime Minister's questions now!)... watch Warsaw and Berlin.
To put all this country simple, there has been a behind-the-scenes change in Europe... time will tell what that means, but if I were Mr. Zelensky, I wouldn't give up on my career as a stand-up comedian just yet.
See you on the flip side...

A recent RT article tells us all we need to know about how fractured the NATO alliance has become. The Russians revealed on 13, June 2024 of a new classified ‘Operational Plan’ being formed by Germany (OPLAN DEU). The German government has officially updated its wartime guidelines for the first time since 1989, to include such measures as mandatory conscription and forcing manufacturers to produce war goods. The rulers of the Germans are in the process of “transferring some 800,000 NATO troops and approximately 200,000 vehicles, including tanks and other hardware within the next three to six months” into the Ukraine.

Thats why i commented a few day ago with an attack on Trump, instead of on the president Biden. See already in 2017 he assassination attempt in the style of Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar, as performed at a 2017 theatrical performance in New York, with an actor resembling Trump in the role of Julius Caesar.
and there is much more to discover and to follow for the investigative people
Orban understands how much the crazy oligarchs running the west still haven’t stomached how Ivan the terrible treated their ancestors. He tying to save Europe but this is visceral hatred towards Russia, not some ill conceived strategy. They will go down with the ship than give up on the centuries old vendetta.
Could the September Target Indicate Biden’s Death? Martin Armstrong |
SPREAD THE LOVE
Question Future
I cannot answer whether or not Joe Biden’s death will be the catalyst for the September 2024 panic cycle our computers have been forecasting for decades. The event in September will mark a global shift – perhaps and more likely a war. A few readers have written in to question whether this event could end up being the death of the Democratic nominee. After all, media outlets are in overdrive to push the Parkinson’s narrative, and one is led to believe that his condition is worsening by the day, given the sudden negative press. Even the most liberal of commentators are suddenly calling for Biden to step down, with new reports released each day detailing Biden’s declining mind.
The sympathy would certainly shift to the left in the event of the death of our nation’s president. Kamala Harris would take over for Joe Biden as the President of the United States. The Democrats do not want Kamala as their frontrunner or the face of the nation. Biden’s health is a valid concern given his current state.
According to law, the sitting president would need to pass before June of the next November election for states to postpone primaries and allow a new candidate to enter the race. However, if a candidate dies between now and the primaries, that candidate’s party could put forth a new presidential candidate. Yet, if the candidate is deemed unfit to run for office they could also shift their elect before the primaries. Could Biden replace his VP pick and then fall terminally ill? Absolutely. Kamala could be awarded a role such as Secretary of State or used as a scapegoat and they could replace her with someone like Hillary Clinton.
Joe Biden’s team is not willing to relinquish power just yet, but rest assured the Democrats want him out of the office before the election to prevent a Kamala presidency under the 25th Amendment, factoring in if the Democrats could even secure the election.
This happened in 1972 when George McGovern’s running mate, Senator Tom Eagleton, was forced to pull out of the race. Sargent Shriver was then selected by McGovern to replace Eagleton but had to receive the full support of the Democratic National Committee first. So, the party can bypass state, constitutional, and federal law to install their nominee. The Republicans and Democrats have different rules for doing so.
It is impossible to determine the catalyst event for specific Turning Points or dates that the computer cites. I’ve been proven wrong countless times when attempting to forecast based on my own personal opinion rather than the clear-cut method provided by the models. Could Joe Biden pass away near the September target? Perhaps.
Personally, I believe we are looking at something more along the lines of escalating warfare come September. The Democratic primaries ended on June 8 of this year. The Democrats have until August 19-22 to determine their formal nominee. Joe Biden won as a write-in candidate with no opposition. Joe Biden does not need to die for the Democrats to hand the nomination to another. The Biden camp is willing to admit he is unfit to run, still, that does not mean his party wouldn’t turn against him and force him to exit.
I still get the feeling, whether Biden stays or goes, that this is set up as a great defence for any future court dates. Should anything be released or he is blamed, he definitely won’t “collect £200” but the get out of jail free card, will allow him to avoid being put on trial/sentenced due to his mental state?
Orban’s Winnie-the-Pooh tour is going to last, for quite awhile, because the Hundred Acre Wood, of Europe, is quite a big place, for truffle hunting, going roundabout.
When on a roll, Winnie-the-Pooh goes, with the flow, because the art of pub walking is an adventurous endeavour, and such pilgrimages are ancient tradition.
It is, when the journey – in itself – becomes the goal, that the reshaping of worldview takes place, which is alchemy of self-transmutation, that produces bee gold.
When the Ukraine is caught, by a tearing stream, then the North Pole comes rather handy, as a rod.

This blog was probably written before Orban completed his recent travels and further stops in Beijing and Mar-a-Lago, with a side trip to DC for the NATO summit.

Too bad because there appears more to Orban’s “peace mission” than just Kiev, Moscow and Europe’s future, and the good Dr’s speculations on the entire scope of Orban’s global diplomacy would be interesting to learn.
Orban meets Zelensky on July 2 in Kiev and most likely discusses Ukraine’s current positions regarding her war and follow-on peace with Russia. Orban then meets Putin in Moscow on July 5 to discuss Russia’s position in these matters. Orban then meets with Xi in Beijing on July 8 to discuss China’s interests in these matters. Also, on July 8, Putin meets with India’s Modi in Moscow for discussions. Finally, on July 11, Orban meets with Trump at Mar-a-Lago for discussions.
The idea that the four most important nationalist leaders (Putin, Xi, Modi, Trump) are linked in discussions following the catalyst Orban’s trip to Kiev seems to indicate the four leaders are beginning to plan for a post Ukrainian-war world. This would be similar to Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin meeting during WWII. If Trump wins in November, look for over the winter, another round of discussions between the Big Four leaders as they continue to plan for the post “rules-based-order” world.
The usual rats are deserting the Ukrainian sinking ship through the back door to not scare the horses.
I’m working my way through the “2025 Mandate For Leadership.” This represents an actual revitalization of the “Right” in America. For what/what, please see “InfiniteRUs at 11:25 am.” My question is, what/how does Russia and their master, China, not fully represent Mr. Globalooney? – Just sock puppets on a global stage. I’d prefer to let them T-off the global war, once the dogs are let slip, bigger power has its say.
In one’s view, another noisy [dare] from the Silovik in Charge who seems to flaunt a poker face in spite of a failing of declarations as well as cards. Fess up. Pay up. Games up!
Alaska is leading, in the secession poll, because grass is greener, on the other side of the Bering Strait, with the prospect of becoming a transport corridor, rather, than maintaining a hillbilly status, as a remote outskirt, in the periphery of the Swampington decision centre.

EXODUS
Moses and his rock-and-roll band,
headed out of Egypt land,
and most gung ho
was Pharaoh,
making returning demand.
Moses gave ear to Pharaoh’s say,
who begged him to stay,
because to navigate
Bering Strait,
is too dangerous a play.
Moses replied, that he is the boss,
and he will walk across,
on a land bridge
of courage,
that Americans will toss.

As a Belgian I vomit when reading; European Council President Charles Michel! Poodles can be replaced, but by what? Different poodles and or people with a backbone that protect themselves from brainwashing tech, physical and monetary bribery, severe ego stroking techniques, and have more then 2 braincels rubbing together. The big question remains, who really governs the West and will they allow a change to occur in the West?
Orban, who is an old school boar, is hunting truffles, under every tree, in the European forest, with his MEGA slogan (Make Europe Great Again), while playing the Hungarian Rhapsody:

What the sectarian Pinocchios lack, is a hearty sense of humour, as they take themselves much too seriously, which is exposed, by Orban’s Winnie-the-Pooh tour.
In Europe, Jews are frenetically holding on, to stolen crowns, and rings of power, which, in the end, has no meaning, because the jolly good fellows are elsewhere.
The light-spirited touch briefly passes by.
Over the past few weeks it has become increasingly apparent that the Commander in Chief Globalooney is President Biden.
This is aptly illustrated by the US supplied and constructed Floating Aid Pier in Gaza farce. The Pier has had to be towed to Ashdod harbour 3 times since May due to rough seas impacting it. And it has therefore hardly been used, yet there was all the grandstanding pomp and fanfare from the White House and US State Department at the beginning, reassuring the world, that it would greatly help alleviate the Palestinian humanitarian crisis in Gaza. In the next few weeks, it will be dismantled for good and removed!
What a joke and it just seems like a continuation of the US military debacle in exiting Afghanistan.
Do read this latest report about the Floating Aid Pier in Gaza being shutdown permanently.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c725re0g447o
Some people wondered about the true purpose of the floating bridge. Before they built it they knew it would only be usable for a short while before the seasonal winds changed direction towards shore and big waves made it unusable. I read about it while the bridge was being built. Whatever it was intended for had to be done before the winds shifted. So this was known from the start that this would happen but only one person I follow spoke about it. Some speculate the USA and now Boeing are being set up to look bad. The question is who and why? And why is the USA allowing it? And why is the USA getting intentionally broken up into smaller, divided regions? I already know the answer to this and so do many others but no one listens and few speak about it because of where the money trail leads. Everyone gets a little money from them or dreams of getting a little money off them and for that money will jump through any hoop it seems. Even a hoops that eventually lead off a cliff and to their deaths when millions are waved on the other side apparently.
It’s a hard plow to ever imagine the grim Zelensky as a comedian, although his prancing before the public as a faux transvestite probably did earn him a chortle of cynical snickers. I much prefer to imagine him, and the emergence of his tough guy personsa, from the nights when he was a bouncer at a K-i-e-v strip club.
How many “leaders,” today, join their troops on the front lines?
