“War is not the vilest form of evil, not the most evil of evils. An unjust trial, for instance, that scalds the outraged heart, is viler.”–Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
NY Judge Merchan, who presided over the Trump hush money case, actually gave the jury a set of ORAL instructions on how to determine guilt that was not based in fact or reality. But the jury happily did as they were told.
Could this be considered an attempt to subvert the upcoming election? The first felony conviction of a former US President wasn’t for the Iraq or Afghanistan wars, illegal CIA coups, drone striking weddings, or spying on Americans…
It was because Trump misclassified a $130,000 payment for a porn star’s NDA.
Tells you everything you need to know.
The judge (a Biden donor) wouldn’t let the defense’s expert witness testify but he was fine with testimony from a porn star and a perjuror. Soviet style justice.
The infamous Moscow Trials, also referred to as “show trials” were a series of staged court proceedings in the Soviet Union during the Great Purge (1936-1938) used to eliminate political opponents and consolidate Stalin’s power. First directed against “Trotskyists” they were subsequently directed towards members of the “Right Opposition” of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
They were public spectacles, carefully designed to highlight the supposed guilt of the accused to warn others against contemplating challenging Stalin’s autocratic regime. They were heavily publicized, characterized by the absence of due process, and were attended by large audiences, including foreign journalists. The evidence presented in court was fabricated by the secret police (NKVD) and included false testimonies, forged documents, and manipulated photographs.
As a reminder, Joseph Stalin, dictator of the Soviet Union 1929-1953, was ultimately responsible for the deaths of between 20 and 60 million of his own people.
An informative read on this butcher is found in the 1939 biography, Stalin, written by Boris Souvarine.
Boris Souvarine (1895-1984) was a French Marxist, communist activist, and essayist who broke away from the Communist Party in 1924, became an outspoken anti-communist, and continued writing and exposing the Soviet regime.
And…here we go, get ready for more War….
The Biden administration has made a U-turn on its policy which previously prohibited Ukraine from attack Russian soil with US-supplied weaponry.
Former Russian president and current Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev has warned that Russian forces could strike back from any point where attacks are launched, including on “NATO specialists” advising Ukraine forces.
“NATO countries that have approved strikes with their weapons on Russian territory should be aware that their equipment and specialists will be destroyed not only in Ukraine, but also at any point from where Russian territory is attacked,” he said on Telegram, according to TASS, also noting that “the participation of NATO specialists could be seen as a casus belli.”
“All their military equipment and specialists fighting against us will be destroyed both on the territory of former Ukraine and on the territory of other countries, should strikes be carried out from there against Russian territory,” Medvedev added in the warning.
He said that contrary to much of the West’s attempts to obfuscate the reality, Ukraine’s long-rage missile systems are actually “directly operated by servicemen from NATO countries.” He said this is tantamount to these countries’ direct participation in the war.
He explained that this raises the specter of major war and confrontation with the West, as in such a scenario where Russia attacks NATO personnel, the alliance would then have to weigh “possible retaliatory strikes… in the context of articles 4 and 5 of the Washington Treaty.“
Politico reported Thursday afternoon, “The Biden administration has quietly given Ukraine permission to strike inside Russia — solely near the area of Kharkiv — using U.S.-provided weapons, two U.S. officials and two other people familiar with the move said Thursday, a major reversal that will help Ukraine to better defend its second-largest city.”
The same official stipulated that the policy of not allowing long-range strikes inside Russia “has not changed.” However, this is surely going to be a distinction without substance or meaning from Russia’s point of view, as it makes attacking Russia’s sovereign territory with US weaponry ‘allowable’ for the first time. Clearly it’s a highly dangerous slippery slope, possibly poking a Nuclear Superpower.
Other NATO countries have been openly advocating for hitting Russia with long-range missiles, and have even approved for Kiev to start doing so in a huge escalation. Denmark has even said it’s fine with Ukraine attacking Russia with Western-supplied F-16 jets.
Ukraine has been complaining that all restrictions need to be taken off if it is to defend against Russia’s recent major offensive in Kharkiv, which was launched from across the border. For example, Russian artillery is able to fire from rear positions within the Belgorod region near the border. It meanwhile remains part of Moscow’s stated aim to push the border deeper into Ukraine to create a ‘buffer zone’ – making it harder for pro-Kiev forces to shell Russian towns and villages.
Pervs…
Even with a broad and unprecedented search warrant, FBI agents did not adhere to the terms of warrant by rummaging through the bedrooms of Melania Trump and Barron Trump.
Most of the current controversy revolves around the Department of Justice’s authorization to use deadly force if necessary that day. Despite widespread outrage that Joe Biden’s DOJ included the language in the pre-raid operations plan, some former federal officials and self-styled conservative “influencers” continue to defend the move as merely representing “standard operating procedure”.
But of course no aspect of the unprecedented, unnecessary, and potentially dangerous raid to allegedly recover classified papers from Donald Trump’s sprawling estate was normal. And dispute over the legality of the warrant and how the raid was conducted is beginning to unfold under the review of U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon in southern Florida.
The Trump-appointed judge is presiding over Special Counsel Jack Smith’s espionage and obstruction indictment against the former president and two co-defendants. But things are going from bad to worse for the special counsel; the case is imploding amid disclosures of mishandled and misplaced evidence and rising discord between Cannon and Smith’s prosecutors.
After asking one of Smith’s prosecutors to “calm down” during a hearing last week, Cannon this week warned Smith that sanctions might be the next step if he continues to violate court rules related to the filing of motions, something she has repeatedly cautioned the special counsel’s office about.
Smith is particularly perturbed that Cannon is thwarting his relentless attempts to keep government motions and evidence under seal, which prompted last week’s news about the use of deadly force policy in the FBI’s raid plan. Cannon recently authorized the unsealing of Trump’s motion to suppress evidence collected during what his attorneys described as the “unconstitutional raid” of Mar-a-Lago.
The motion included a standard FBI form called a “law enforcement operations order” that agents had prepared in advance of the raid; the document revealed explosive details about the FBI’s plans such as instructing agents to arrive in street clothes without any identifying logo and to carry weapons, ammunition, and handcuffs.
But the motion also provided evidence that the 30-plus armed, incognito agents violated the terms of the search warrant by rifling through the bedrooms of former First Lady Melania Trump and the couple’s only child, Barron, who was 16 at the time.
Gross Violation of the Warrant and the Former First Family’s Privacy
In an August 5, 2022 affidavit, an unidentified Washington FBI special agent asked a judge to authorize the search based on suspicions that Trump was hiding national defense records at his estate. The agent cited grand jury testimony when witnesses identified a few specific areas of Mar-a-Lago where boxes had been stored: the White and Gold Ballroom, a storage room and adjoining room, an entryway and anteroom for Trump’s personal suite, and his office.
Florida Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart signed the warrant over WhatsApp, an encrypted messaging platform, that same day with the following instructions:
“The locations to be searched include the ‘45 Office,’ all storage rooms, and all other rooms or areas within the premises used or available to be used by FPOTUS and his staff and in which boxes or documents could be stored, including all structures or buildings on the estate. It does not include areas currently (i.e., at the time of the search) being occupied, rented, or used by third parties (such as Mar-a-Largo Members) and not otherwise used or available to be used by FPOTUS and his staff, such as private guest suites.”
But that’s not what agents did.
According to an FBI photo log, agents took 43 pictures of the “Former First Lady master bedroom suite” and an additional 30 pictures of what is described as “Binder from Former First Lady’s bedroom.”
Agents also took 26 photos of “child’s bedroom suite lower level.”
Not a single illegal was found in either location.
Smith, however, insists the agents followed the terms of the warrant. In his May 24 motion seeking a gag order to prevent Trump from publicly criticizing agents involved in the case after Trump referred to the lethal force authorization as an attempted assassination plot, Smith said the FBI “conducted the search in an entirely proper manner.” (She denied his motion.)
“‘The warrant authorized the agents to search all ‘rooms or areas’ available to be used by’ Trump where documents could be stored…which included rooms used by family members (emphasis added).”
What kind of lunacy is that? Does Smith really expect Cannon to believe the former president kept government papers including national defense material in his teenage son’s bedroom? Or that he hid nuclear secrets in Mrs. Trump’s armoire?
Why didn’t the FBI agent present those suspicions to Judge Reinhart when seeking the warrant?
Confirmation that agents rummaged around Mrs. Trump’s private space—even boasting about their antics in the bedroom of the “former first lady” rather than use a basic description such as “private suite”—is just the latest scandal tied to this case.
Cannon. for her part, is unlikely to overlook yet another instance of the DOJ breaching professional conduct and the rules to get what it wants. She has not yet ruled on the motion to suppress the Mar-a-Lago evidence and could potentially schedule a hearing into the matter, which may produce more examples of malfeasance before and during the raid.
What Merchan did to really throw the trial was to send the jurors home over the Memorial Day holiday weekend instead of having them sequestered, so all their families, and friends, and neighbors were able to get to them and tell them that if Trump was acquitted, they had better find a new place to live.

An entirely different relationship with people characterized Stalin.
Lenin’s traits – patient work with people, stubborn and painstaking education of them, the ability to induce people to follow him without using compulsion, but rather through the ideological influence on them of the whole collective – were entirely foreign to Stalin.
He discarded the Leninist method of convincing and educating, he abandoned the method of ideological struggle for that of administrative violence, mass repressions and terror.
He acted on an increasingly larger scale and more stubbornly through punitive organs, at the same time often violating all existing norms of morality and of Soviet laws.
Arbitrary behavior by one person encouraged and permitted arbitrariness in others.
Mass arrests and deportations of many thousands of people, execution without trial and without normal investigation created conditions of insecurity, fear and even desperation.
This, of course, did not contribute toward unity of the Party ranks and of all strata of working people, but, on the contrary, brought about annihilation and the expulsion from the Party of workers who were loyal but inconvenient to Stalin.

The way in which the former NKVD workers manufactured various fictitious “anti-Soviet centers” and “blocs” with the help of provocatory methods is seen from the confession of comrade Rozenblum, a Party member since 1906, who was arrested in 1937 by the Leningrad NKVD.
During the examination in 1955 of the Komarov case, Rozenblum revealed the following fact: When Rozenblum was arrested in 1937, he was subjected to terrible torture during which he was ordered to confess false information concerning himself and other persons.
He was then brought to the office of [Leonid] Zakovsky, who offered him freedom on condition that he make before the court a false confession fabricated in 1937 by the NKVD concerning “sabotage, espionage and diversion in a terroristic center in Leningrad.”
With unbelievable cynicism, Zakovsky told about the vile “mechanism” for the crafty creation of fabricated “anti-Soviet plots.”
“In order to illustrate it to me,” stated Rozenblum, “Zakovsky gave me several possible variants of the organization of this center and of its branches.”
“After he detailed the organization to me, Zakovsky told me that the NKVD would prepare the case of this center, remarking that the trial would be public.”
“Before the court were to be brought 4 or 5 members of this center: [Mikhail] Chudov, [Fyodor] Ugarov, [Pyotr] Smorodin, [Boris] Pozern, Chudov’s wife [Liudmilla] Shaposhnikova and others together with 2 or 3 members from the branches of this center….”
“… The case of the Leningrad center has to be built solidly, and for this reason witnesses are needed.”
Social origin (of course, in the past) and the Party standing of the witness will play more than a small role.
“’You, yourself,’ said Zakovsky, ‘will not need to invent anything.'”
“The NKVD will prepare for you a ready outline for every branch of the center.”
“You will have to study it carefully, and remember well all questions the Court might ask and their answers.”
“This case will be ready in four or five months, perhaps in half a year.”
“During all this time you will be preparing yourself so that you will not compromise the investigation and yourself.”
“Your future will depend on how the trial goes and on its results.”
“If you begin to lie and to testify falsely, blame yourself.”
“If you manage to endure it, you will save your head and we will feed and clothe you at the Government’s cost until your death.’”
This is the kind of vile thing practiced then.

We must state that, after the war, the situation became even more complicated.
Stalin became even more capricious, irritable and brutal.
In particular, his suspicion grew.
His persecution mania reached unbelievable dimensions.
Many workers became enemies before his very eyes.
After the war, Stalin separated himself from the collective even more.
Everything was decided by him alone without any consideration for anyone or anything.
This unbelievable suspicion was cleverly taken advantage of by the abject provocateur and vile enemy, Beria, who murdered thousands of Communists and loyal Soviet people.
The elevation of Voznesensky and Kuznetsov alarmed Beria.
As we have now proven, it had been precisely Beria who had “suggested” to Stalin the fabrication by him and by his confidants of materials in the form of declarations and anonymous letters, and in the form of various rumors and talks.
The Party’s Central Committee has examined this so-called “Leningrad affair”; persons who innocently suffered are now rehabilitated and honor has been restored to the glorious Leningrad Party organization.
(V. S.) Abakumov and others who had fabricated this affair were brought before a court; their trial took place in Leningrad and they received what they deserved.
The question arises: Why is it that we see the truth of this affair only now, and why did we not do something earlier, during Stalin’s life, in order to prevent the loss of innocent lives?
It was because Stalin personally supervised the “Leningrad affair,” and the majority of the Politbiuro members did not, at that time, know all of the circumstances in these matters and could not therefore intervene.
When Stalin received certain material from Beria and Abakumov, without examining these slanderous materials he ordered an investigation of the “affair” of Voznesensky and Kuznetsov.
With this, their fate was sealed.

Speech Delivered: February 24-25 1956;
The long, unfriendly relations between Kartvelishvili and Beria were widely known.
They date back to the time when comrade Sergo [Ordzhonikidze] was active in the Transcaucasus.
Kartvelishvili was the closest assistant of Sergo.
The unfriendly relationship impelled Beria to fabricate a “case” against Kartvelishvili.
It is characteristic that Kartvelishvili was charged with a terroristic act against Beria in this “case.”
The indictment in the Beria case contains a discussion of his crimes.
Some things should, however, be recalled, especially since it is possible that not all delegates to the Congress have read this document.
I wish to recall Beria’s bestial disposition of the cases of [Mikhail] Kedrov, [V.] Golubev, and Golubev’s adopted mother, Baturina – persons who wished to inform the Central Committee concerning Beria’s treacherous activity.
They were shot without any trial and the sentence was passed ex post facto, after the execution.
Here is what the old Communist, comrade Kedrov, wrote to the Central Committee through comrade [Andrey] Andreyev (comrade Andreyev was then a Central Committee Secretary):
“I am calling to you for help from a gloomy cell of the Lefortovo prison.”
“Let my cry of horror reach your ears; do not remain deaf, take me under your protection; please, help remove the nightmare of interrogations and show that this is all a mistake.”
“I suffer innocently.”
“Please believe me.”
“Time will testify to the truth.”
“I am not an agent provocateur of the Tsarist Okhrana.”
“I am not a spy, I am not a member of an anti-Soviet organization of which I am being accused on the basis of denunciations.”
“I am also not guilty of any other crimes against the Party and the Government.”
“I am an old Bolshevik, free of any stain; I have honestly fought for almost 40 years in the ranks of the Party for the good and prosperity of the nation….”
“… Today I, a 62-year-old man, am being threatened by the investigative judges with more severe, cruel and degrading methods of physical pressure.”
“They (the judges) are no longer capable of becoming aware of their error and of recognizing that their handling of my case is illegal and impermissible.”
“They try to justify their actions by picturing me as a hardened and raving enemy and are demanding increased repressions.”
“But let the Party know that I am innocent and that there is nothing which can turn a loyal son of the Party into an enemy, even right up to his last dying breath.”
“But I have no way out.”
“I cannot divert from myself the hastily approaching new and powerful blows.”
“Everything, however, has its limits.”
“My torture has reached the extreme.”
“My health is broken, my strength and my energy are waning, the end is drawing near.”
“To die in a Soviet prison, branded as a vile traitor to the Fatherland – what can be more monstrous for an honest man?”
“And how monstrous all this is!”
“Unsurpassed bitterness and pain grips my heart.”
“No!”
“No!”
“This will not happen; this cannot be, I cry.”
“Neither the Party, nor the Soviet Government, nor the People’s Commissar, L. P. Beria, will permit this cruel, irreparable injustice.”
“I am firmly certain that, given a quiet, objective examination, without any foul rantings, without any anger and without the fearful tortures, it would be easy to prove the baselessness of the charges.”
“I believe deeply that truth and justice will triumph.”
“I believe.”
“I believe.”
The old Bolshevik, comrade Kedrov, was found innocent by the Military Collegium.
But, despite this, he was shot at Beria’s order.
And we should never forget that Democrat Frank Roosevelt was a great admirer of the butcher Joe Stalin!
As is Joe Biden!
And speaking of Joe Biden, according to a Fox News story just out titled “Biden claims to have known Putin for ‘over 40 years’ even when he worked as a KGB agent” by Louis Casiano on 7 June 2024, Joe Biden’s relationship with Putin in Joe’s own words, and if anybody should know, it would be Joe, goes back forty years to when Putin was still a KGB officer in East Germany and Barack Obama dispatched Joe over there as Barack’s troubleshooter in East Germany, this after Barack sent Joe to Detroit to lick COVID there, to try and make a deal with Putin to tear down the Berlin wall and set the East Germans free, which Putin then did and the rest is world history, which is why Joseph Robinette Biden, Junior is the LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD today, because, well, he deserves to be, for getting Putin to set the East Germans free and give them democracy instead of the autocracy we have over here under the iron thumb of American dictator Joseph Robinette Biden, Junior.
And speaking of DEMOCRAT Frank Roosevelt and his good buddy Joe “THE BUTCHER” Stalin:
The Telegraph
“Democrats must tell the truth about Biden’s mental fitness”
Opinion by John Fund
8 June 2024
On January 1945 a dying, drugged-up FDR left for a fateful summit with Stalin and Churchill in Yalta.
In a letter, Roosevelt described his negotiating strategy to his friend William Bullitt: “I think that if I give (Stalin) everything I possibly can and ask nothing from him in return… he will not try to annex anything and will work with me for a world of democracy and peace.”
We know how that turned out – Stalin reneged on all his commitments and 120 million Eastern Europeans were condemned to live under Communism for over 40 years.
World War Two historian Lynne Olson, writing in the New York Times, concludes that “Roosevelt’s cover-up of his failing health in the 1944 campaign was an egregious deception of American voters and helped contribute to a climate of cynicism about politicians.”
The way to avoid deepening that cynicism is to learn from history and not take spoon-fed assurances from the Biden White House at face value.

What a fool was FDR, and what fools we are if we are stupid enough to believe the DEMOCRATS when they tell us that there is absolutely nothing wrong with Joe Biden’s mental health.
On January 1945 a dying, drugged-up Democrat named FDR left for a fateful summit with his hero Joe “THE BUTCHER” Stalin and Winny Churchill in Yalta, and in June of this year, a senile drugged-up Democrat named Joseph Robinette Biden, Junior is going to be the star of a presidential debate!
I wonder if they will use the same drug cocktail on Joe that they used on FDR, or if they got some better **** today to use on Joe.
