Donald Trump has told countries that want to serve on his Board of Peace they will have to pay $1 billion to be permanent members

Bloomberg has obtained the draft charter. It appears to suggest Trump himself would control the money, sources say

The charter would be considered unacceptable to most countries who could have potentially joined the board, sources say

Netanyahu has rejected the terms

Several nations strongly oppose the draft of Trump’s charter and are working on collectively pushing back against the proposals, sources said

They are concerned Trump is trying to build a rival to the United Nations that’s about more than Gaza and that he would totally control

It means that despite Trump’s advertising of the Board of Peace, in fact it does not have the support of key regional or global players https://x.com/alexwickham/status/2012648003165638940?s=20

Nothing to see here folks, just a sitting president investing in two companies whose merger he claims sole authority to approve or reject. Totally normal! https://x.com/scarylawyerguy/status/2012479543408271770?s=20

BREAKING: DOJ is now arguing that no court can force it to release the Epstein files.

Their position is basically: the Epstein Transparency Act doesn’t create an enforceable path in federal court, so judges can’t compel compliance.

Translation: “We’ll release what we want, when we want, and you can’t stop us.” https://x.com/allenanalysis/status/2012524597300633729?s=20

A reminder that about 1/4 of US debt matures in the next 12 months.

The last two times we saw similar refinancing pressure, policy rates were at 0%.

Today rates are 3.75% with the market pricing fewer than 2 cuts by year-end.

Hard to see this aligning with Trump and the new Fed Chair.

None of us own enough hard assets. https://x.com/TaviCosta/status/2012290838202826999?s=20

President Trump just doubled down Greenland.

Not only did President Trump announce a new 10% on Denmark, but it also includes Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, Netherlands, and Finland.

Under these new tariffs, we estimate that ~$1.2 TRILLION worth of annual bilateral trade will be impacted.

And, these tariffs will increase to 25% on June 1st and WILL NOT be lifted until a deal is reached on Greenland.

This deal MUST be a "complete and total purchase of Greenland," according to Trump.

It is estimated that an acquisition of Greenland would cost the US ~$700 billion.

The US-EU trade war just escalated to a whole new level.

Trump's top strategic focus is now clearly Greenland. https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2012570728940314632?s=20

NEW - U.S. Speaker Johnson: "I don't foresee military intervention in Greenland... I think diplomatic channels is the way to go... the president is playing chess, as we say... we have a lot going on right now, so that's just one small piece to a larger puzzle."

JUST IN - Macron to Trump: "No intimidation or threat will influence us — neither in Ukraine, nor in Greenland."

@disclosetv

Ursula von der Leyen responds to Trump:

The EU stands in full solidarity with Denmark and the people of Greenland.

Tariffs would undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral.

Europe will remain united, coordinated, and committed to upholding its sovereignty.

I want to thank George for his insightful interview with Paul Craig Roberts. I also want Gagglers to understand just how unusual Roberts is. I don't agree with Roberts 100 percent because at times he clings to the notion that the Republican Party still exists. This was the party of Abraham Lincoln, and it lost its way as did the Democrats. Even so, Roberts is a Baby Boomer with insight, a rare creature indeed.

All Boomers I know hate, even despise, Russia because they were taught to do so in our schools where we learned fake history. They are not critical thinkers because they grew up on propaganda re the USSR, which Russia still is in their eyes. For example, Boomers are unable to consider how we acquired Alaska and how Russia, even though neutral (technically) during our Civil War, helped the Union by engaging in a brilliant psyop to fool the British (primarily) and the French. I studied this incredible phenomenon and wrote an essay about it, but a typical Boomer knows nothing about it ...

A Genealogy of the Concentration Camp

Sputnik ran an article today on Finland’s WWII camps:

https://sputnikglobe.com/20260117/throwback-the-horrors-of-finlands-wwii-concentration-camps-for-russians-1123477872.html

Curious about the history of the concentration camp I worked with ChatGPT to study its circumstances and origins: why did camps of this kind appear when they did, why did they resemble one another across regimes, and why are they a distinctly modern phenomenon.

A genealogical approach, rather than a moral or national one, lets us see this more clearly.

I. The Camp Is Not Timeless

It is tempting to imagine that camps are simply an ancient form of cruelty, recurring whenever power becomes brutal. That view is wrong.

Pre-modern societies practiced:

slavery

exile

massacre

imprisonment

forced labor

But they did not practice concentration in the modern sense.

What they lacked was:

large-scale population measurement

bureaucratic classification

racialized civil categories

logistical systems capable of sustaining mass civilian detention

scientific languages that rendered entire populations legible as problems

The concentration camp is therefore not ancient cruelty reborn.
It is a recent administrative ...

More Leftie Than Thou
"Jacobin" Magazine Celebrates A Strike Against Ol' Blue Eyes

Here at "The Gaggle" we have very little time for the "more Leftie than thou" school of thought--that's the approach to life according to which the only thing that matters is whether you take the right position on every issue under the sun from Abortion to Zelensky. No one in the world meets the exacting standards of this school of thought; any Leftie leader anywhere is always selling out to the bankers and the capitalists. The perfect exemplar of this is the unreadable Jacobin magazine. 

The other day I came across this article from 2021. It's a celebration of trade union power. And not simply trade union power, but the use of trade union power to secure political goals. Of course (and this is always the case with the "more Leftie than thou" crowd), this glorious, never-to-be-forgotten moment on the history of organized labor took place many years ago--in the summer of 1974 to be exact. Yes, almost half a century has gone by since that thrilling moment when the working-class movement of Australia mobilized and prepared to seize the means of production, distribution and exchange. 

Well, not quite. Organized labor went into action against...Ol' Blue Eyes, the Chairman of the Board, the Voice; yes, Frank Sinatra. Why? What had Sinatra done? Sinatra was certainly very rich, and he owned a variety of properties and businesses. But if the Australian trade union movement were, understandably, searching for the bright, incandescent spark that would finally awaken the working class from its slumber there were surely richer, greedier, more dishonest, more decadent, above all more Australian individuals it could have discovered. Australia was never short of them. Rupert Murdoch immediately springs to mind. Why Sinatra?
