A Papal Biographer Shills For War With Russia

Earlier this month in The National Catholic Register, Pope John Paul II’s biographer, George Weigel, called Russia, “a modern Moloch, the bloodthirsty Canaanite god against whom the prophets of ancient Israel railed” – in a breathless criticism of President Trump’s Ukrainian peace efforts.

On February 12, 2025, he penned a rant syndicated by The Denver Catholic, the official publication of the Archdiocese of Denver. Titled Russia’s Sacrilegious War on Ukraine, the piece advocated continued war in Ukraine until Russia loses:

There is no happy or just solution to Putin’s aggression that does not end with Putin losing. How that happens is subject to debate. But Putin must lose, both for Ukraine’s sake and for Russia’s…. for America’s sake, and for the world’s.

Weigel has served on the board of the CIA cutout, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), with Victoria NulandHis advocacy helped save the organization in 1993, when it was almost (and should have been) shut down at the end of the Cold War.

The Trump administration has suspended funding for NED, and Elon Musk called it an “evil organization [that] needs to be dissolved.”  Arguably, more than any other Washington entity, NED is responsible for inciting civil unrest around the world to serve the purposes of corrupt people.

For over a decade, Weigel has acted as a reliable mouthpiece for NED in its efforts to cause war in Ukraine. Mostly, he has provided a Catholic pretext for awful stuff, based on a tangential association with a long-dead pope.

Whatever its initial intentions – and they were chiefly benevolent – by 2025 NED had become the driving force in a Frankenstein foreign policy that that took its initial design to its rational conclusion: chaos and death.

The details of the Ukraine conflict are rarely covered in the Western media, but they are available to piece together from open sources. In 2010, Ukraine elevated Viktor Yanukovych to president in a democratic election. As reported at the time:

A total of 3,779 observers, including 650 from the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe, were dispatched to monitor the election. Ukraine’s presidential election, the fifth since the country regained its independence when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, was democratic and “organized in a transparent manner,” the OSCE said today in an e-mailed statement.

In 2013, Yanukovych would make the mistake of not signing an association agreement with the European Union and, instead, entertaining a regional economic alliance with Russia. John McCain and other prominent American politicians flew to Kiev to rally support for the EU.

Wars And Rumors Of Wars: Now We Are At War With The Houthis, And We Are Being Told That Iran Could Be Next

Did you know that we are bombing the Houthis in Yemen?  If so, you are far more informed than most of the population, because most Americans would have no hope of actually finding the nation of Yemen on a blank map of the world.  On Saturday, President Trump ordered a “decisive” bombing campaign to begin, and it will continue until the Houthis stop attacking U.S. targets in the Red Sea.  Of course the Houthis have no intention of ending their attacks, and so now we are at war with the Houthis for the foreseeable future.  On his Truth Social account, President Trump warned the Houthis that “hell will rain down upon you like nothing you have ever seen before”…

Today, I have ordered the United States Military to launch decisive and powerful Military action against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen. They have waged an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American, and other, ships, aircraft, and drones.

Joe Biden’s response was pathetically weak, so the unrestrained Houthis just kept going. It has been over a year since a U.S. flagged commercial ship safely sailed through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, or the Gulf of Aden. The last American Warship to go through the Red Sea, four months ago, was attacked by the Houthis over a dozen times. Funded by Iran, the Houthi thugs have fired missiles at U.S. aircraft, and targeted our Troops and Allies. These relentless assaults have cost the U.S. and World Economy many BILLIONS of Dollars while, at the same time, putting innocent lives at risk.

Trump Admin Chooses Boeing To Construct the ‘Most Lethal Aircraft Ever Built’

The Pentagon has awarded Boeing a billion-dollar contract to build the Air Force’s most advanced fighter jet, President Donald Trump announced Friday.

The Next Generation Air Dominance program will replace Lockheed Martin’s F-22 Raptor with Boeing’s F-47, a sixth-generation jet designed to operate alongside drones in combat. While details of the new jet remain classified, the aircraft is expected to feature stealth capabilities, advanced sensors, and new engines, Reuters reported.

“The F-47 will be the most advanced, most capable, most lethal aircraft ever built,” Trump said at the White House. “An experimental version of the plane has secretly been flying for almost five years, and we’re confident that it massively overpowers capabilities of any other nation.”

The new plane comes as part of a “family of systems” intended to “counter adversaries such as China and Russia,” according to Reuters. The contract is valued at more than $20 billion, with Boeing expected to receive hundreds of billions of dollars in orders.

DR Congo Offers Trump Minerals in Exchange for Help with Rebels

Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) President Felix Tshisekedi wrote a letter to President Donald Trump in which he offered extensive mineral rights to the U.S. Sovereign Wealth Fund in exchange for military assistance against the Rwanda-backed insurgent group M23.

The February 8 letter, which has not officially been disclosed to the public, was allegedly reviewed by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on Wednesday.

“Your election has ushered in the golden age for America,” Tshisekedi told Trump. “Our partnership would provide the U.S. with a strategic advantage by securing critical minerals such as cobalt, lithium, copper and tantalum from the Democratic Republic of Congo.”

Tshisekedi asked Trump for unspecified military assistance and a “formal security pact” to push back M23, which has been advancing from the eastern reaches of the DRC to capture key cities and threaten the capital of Kinshasa.

A spokeswoman for Tshisekedi’s office confirmed the authenticity of the letter and said negotiations with U.S. officials over the DRC’s natural resources are already underway. A source told the WSJ that the White House National Security Council (NSC) requested a briefing on Tshisekedi’s proposal.

“The DRC is interested in partnering with the Trump administration to end the conflict and stop the flow of blood minerals via Rwanda,” Tshisekedi’s spokeswoman said.

The White House, on the other hand, refused to comment on the letter, which it described as “private correspondence to the president.”

The WSJ noted that the DRC has been separately attempting to work out a deal for securing its mining operations with former Blackwater CEO and founder Erik Prince. Blackwater is long gone, having been sold off in 2010, but Prince is involved with other private security operations and he is an outspoken supporter of President Trump.

EU Scraps Massive Military Aid Package For Ukraine Thanks to Trump

On Thursday the European Union scrapped its plans to send 40 billion euros in military aid to Ukraine. The move took place as E.U. leaders met at a summit and was influenced by President Donald Trump’s work toward a ceasefire agreement, despite Thursday being host to a Ukrainian drone attack on a Russian nuclear air base.

Named after the E.U.’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, the ‘Kallas plan’ sought to double the union’s military aid to an ambitious 40 billion euros in 2025. It included the purchase of two million artillery rounds for 5 billion euros, an air defense systems, missiles, drones, fighter jets and other lethal and non-lethal equipment valued at 35 billion euros. These ‘gifts’ to Ukraine would have all been delivered by the end of the year.

“…large southern European countries opposed Kallas’ proposal that each member state should contribute ‘their fair share’ relative to GDP. They asked Brussels to find other ways, possibly by incorporating the remaining profits generated by Russia’s frozen assets,” The European Conservative said Friday.

The plan did see significant support from a number of northern E.U. member states however it lacked support from many southern and central member states. France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Hungary and Slovakia opposed the 40 billion euro amount.

“France, Italy and Spain—boasting the largest European economies after Germany—all gave economic and budgetary reasons for not backing the plan this time. They also called for caution against military escalation and suggested it would be a good idea to see how the ongoing U.S.-led peace process turns out,” The European Conservative said.

The disagreements won out, first with the plan being delayed and then eventually canceled all together. A smaller military aid package will still be delivered to Kiev, however.

“…the latest version of the plan will focus solely on delivering the two million artillery rounds this year, which in itself could prove tricky, given that the E.U. failed spectacularly on its previous pledge of delivering half of that amount in 2023,” The European Conservative said.

List of Canadian IDF Soldiers Should Be Starting Point of Prosecutions

Find IDF Soldiers has elicited a significant backlash. But there’s been little discussion of the website’s indictment of the legal exceptionalism given to Israel in Canadian political culture.

Find IDF Soldiers lists 85 Canadians who have fought in the Israeli military. It has been covered by The Jerusalem Post, Ynet, Jewish Onliner, Jewish Press, Israel Hayom, i24, The J, National Post, Jewish Breaking News, Jewish News Syndicate, Jew In The City, Vernon Morning Star, Haaretz and others. A Canadian Jewish News article headlined “Canadian veterans of the IDF profiled by an anti-Israel website are considering a class-action lawsuit” quotes the father of one of those listed who is campaigning to shutter the site. Author of The Wake Up Call: Global Jihad and the Rise of Antisemitism in a World Gone MAD, Israel Ellis told Canadian Jewish News, “‘How do we get this thing shut down as quickly as possible?’ That took me on a bit of a journey,” he said, and was soon contacting ‘every politician I know’—and law enforcement officials, too. ‘Many people were talking, and by the morning the site was shut down.’”

The reaction to the site, which is back up, is another example of the authoritarian tendency of Zionism. If it bothers their genocidal, supremacist, sensibilities it must be illegal and shuttered.

But there’s a far stronger legal case to be made against those named on Find IDF Soldiers and those who induce Canadians to join the Israeli military. Canada’s Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act states, “Every person who, either before or after the coming into force of this section, commits outside Canada (a) genocide, (b) a crime against humanity, or (c) a war crime, is guilty of an indictable offense and may be prosecuted for that offense.”

Every Canadian who has fought in Gaza over the past 16 months should be charged. Many of those who fought in Israel’s occupation force in previous years should also be investigated for possible participation in war crimes.

Part of why Find IDF Soldiers has elicited such a reaction is that it was launched as the Hind Rajab Foundation pursues Israeli soldiers in Brazil, Belgium and elsewhere. The foundation has also filed complaints against 1,000 IDF members and officers to the International Criminal Court.

Find IDF Soldiers also highlights the failure of Canadian officials to enforce the Foreign Enlistment Act, which states that “any person who, within Canada, recruits or otherwise induces any person or body of persons to enlist or to accept any commission or engagement in the armed forces of any foreign state or other armed forces operating in that state is guilty of an offense.” Various schools, community institutions and wealthy individuals induce Canadians to join the Israeli military. In 2020 a formal legal complaint and public letter signed by numerous prominent individuals were released calling on the federal government to investigate individuals for violating the Foreign Enlistment Act by inducing Canadians to join the Israeli military. The Trudeau government effectively ignored the public letter and legal complaint even though it was published on the front page of Le Devoir. Then Justice Minister David Lametti responded by simply saying it was up to the police to investigate. For their part, the police refused to seriously investigate.

More evidence has come to light recently. The Canadian Jewish News quoted a parent saying “a quarter of the class” at Toronto’s Bnei Akiva high school join the Israeli military. The school encourages students to make the move in a series of ways.

Kremlin Says Kyiv Hits Russian Gas System In Energy Ceasefire Violation…And Zelenskiy Can’t Be Trusted, But Putin Won’t Strike Ukraine Energy

The Kremlin says Putin’s order to refrain from striking Ukraine’s energy infrastructure remains in effect after Moscow claims Ukraine struck Russian gas facilities in the Kursk region. These facilities were an occupation focus by Ukrainian forces which invaded Kursk last year — a prize to control Russian gas flow to Europe.

The Kremlin also claims that the attack on the Russian gas transit station in Sudzha proves Zelenskiy cannot be trusted.

Ukraine declared the gas station at Sudzha was hit by the Russian side in a provocation

The Sudzha GTS is a critical hub for Russian gas transit to Europe via Ukraine, the final supply route after others shut down. Its destruction will cut off Europe’s affordable gas, spike energy prices, and may hit every European’s wallet, especially during heating season.

Zelensky Demands Russia Return All Territory Gained Since 2014 – Continues to Push His Forever War with Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced in Helsinki that Russia must surrender all territory it gained since 2014.

Of course, this is an impossible request. Russia is winning the war, and it has no desire to relinquish control of Crimea or the Russian-speaking provinces it now controls.

Two months ago, the Trump White House knew that peace would not be possible as long as Zelensky was in charge. The man does not want peace.

Catturd has it right, and the Trump administration knew this weeks ago—no peace in Ukraine until Zelensky is gone.

It’s clear now that President Trump feels more sympathy for the Ukrainian soldiers than this psycho.

Hungarian PM Orban: Broke EU Giving Ukraine Nothing But “Empty Promises”

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, widely considered one of President Trump’s closest ideological allies among European heads of state, remarked on Thursday—after a contentious meeting with EU leaders in Brussels—that the bloc lacks the financial resources to sustain Ukraine, a nation heavily reliant on both funds and materials, in its ongoing conflict with Russia.

“The EU doesn’t have a single penny left. It has spent all of its money,” Prime Minister Orban said in comments given to the Hungarian YouTube channel Patriota.

“[The EU] talks about wanting to continue arming Ukraine, maintaining the Ukrainian army, and funding the functioning of the Ukrainian state… but can’t find any money in its pockets. I think it’s empty promises,” Orban added.

On the same day—the first day of a European Council summit in Brussels, where the EU’s 27 heads of state gathered to discuss Ukraine, as well as economic, energy, defense, and foreign policy—Orban announced that he had vetoed the European Union’s pro-war consensus on Ukraine and criticized President Volodymyr Zelensky’s approach.

For sensitive proposals, such as those related to foreign or security policy, the European Council—composed of the 27 heads of state in the EU—requires unanimous approval from all member states. This is known as the unanimity rule.

Google imports ex-Israeli spies who automated Gaza genocide

On Mar. 18, Google bought Israeli cybersecurity company Wiz for $32 billion. The acquisition will mark the single largest transfer of former Israeli spies into an American company. This is because Wiz is run and staffed by dozens of ex Unit 8200 members, the specialist cyber-spying arm of the IDF.

Unit 8200 wrote the programming and designed the algorithms that automated the genocide of Gaza and was also responsible for the pager attack in Lebanon. Now the men and women who helped design the architecture of apartheid are being swallowed by the US tech-surveillance complex.

The identity of the Wiz founders, all former Unit 8200, is fairly well-documented (by Israeli media at least). One of the founders, Ami Luttwak, boasts on his LinkedIn profile that he led a “mission critical R&D team” for Unit 8200 which won them the “Israel Defence Award 2012.” Less well-documented, however, is the fact that a huge chunk of the Wiz workforce, from office managers, to software engineers to product analysts, are also former Unit 8200. Following my investigation earlier this year into the former Unit 8200 members working in key AI positions for tech companies, I have identified nearly fifty Wiz employees as being ex Unit 8200 operatives.
