Lead: Is the Gaza Truce on Trump?
Photo credit: Amos Ben-Gershom/GPO
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in the United States to discuss foreign relations but he will have to wait until Tuesday to meet with President Trump. He is the first foreign dignitary to visit the new Trump administration by invitation.
Netanyahu will first meet with Steve Witkoff, the U.S. special envoy to the Middle East. On Wednesday, he will hold meetings at the Pentagon and on Thursday, he will meet with members of Congress, presumably those who are heavily funded by Israel.
The timing is interesting because the second phase of the ceasefire discussions with Hamas is still ongoing. Netanyahu has said many times that Israel intends to resume military operations in Gaza after hostages are exchanged and Hamas says that it cannot agree to that. It would seem that this impasse is in the hands of the Trump administration.
Meanwhile, Israel blew up a neighborhood in the West Bank over the weekend but both Israel and Palestinian authorities said that the area had been evacuated so there are no reported casualties.
The End of The (Unipolar) World Ends

The United States is signaling an end to the “unipolar world” and acting accordingly. This sounds like diplomatic gobbledygook but it could actually be a major shift and the end of the U.S. policy to be the bully of the world.
“It’s no accident that my first trip abroad as secretary of state, to Central America on Friday, will keep me in the hemisphere. This is rare among secretaries of state over the past century. For many reasons, U.S. foreign policy has long focused on other regions while overlooking our own. As a result, we’ve let problems fester, missed opportunities and neglected partners. That ends now. President Trump’s foreign-policy agenda begins close to home.”
He’s right, most Secretaries of State start off in Europe and the Middle East, telling them what to do and how to be.
The U.S. is also, in the words of Arnaud Bertrand, “dismantling foreign interference apparatuses (like USAID).” The Trump administration shut down USAID in one fell swoop and exposed all manner of funding corruption in so doing. When DOGE tried to enter USAID offices this weekend, two officials reportedly tried to physically stop them and were put on leave. DOGE leader Elon Musk said that this agency has been put “into the wood chipper.” Follow former State Department whistleblower Mike Benz for a summary of all the evils that USAID was guilty of, including funding gain of function research in China, funding fake news organizations as propaganda, funding online censorship, funding heroin production in Afghanistan, and more.
President Trump said that it was run by “radical lunatics” and it is hard to argue with that. Elon Musk said that the National Endowment for Democracy may be next and I would show up with popcorn to watch that organization hit the wood chipper next!
These organizations have been used to justify and start wars by bullying other countries around the world under the guise of “teaching them to be more like us.” It’s high time that ends and, in the words of Bertrand, “Hegemony was going to end sooner or later, and now the U.S. is basically choosing to end it on its own terms. It is the post-American world order – brought to you by America itself.”

FBI Purge

Top FBI leaders have until today to resign or be sent packing. They were given notice on Thursday, even as the prospective head of the FBI Kash Patel has not yet been confirmed.
James E. Dennehy, a veteran agent who has been in charge of the New York City field office, sent an internal memo calling this “a battle of our own.”
“Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own, as good people are being walked out of the F.B.I. and others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and F.B.I. policy,” he wrote, according to the New York Times. He said it was time for him “to dig in.”
Dennehy is not reported to be among those asked to leave but at least five top officials in field offices in Miami, Philadelphia, Washington, New Orleans and Las Vegas were ordered to resign.
The Justice Department has ordered the FBI to “collect the names of bureau personnel who helped investigate the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.” We know that the government violated the civil rights of many of those defendants and we are owed an explanation of how. The New York Times reports that the number of relevant agents “could reach 6,000 — or about a sixth of the bureau’s 38,000 employees, according to the F.B.I.”
News By The Numbers

63,000. That is how many viewers in the desirable demographic that MSNBC averaged in January, making it their worst January on record. Even President Biden’s final interview only drew 97,000 viewers. Reruns of South park do better than that.
$11,255. That is the fine that the NFL announced for Chiefs player Travis Kelce for taunting a player at last week’s game against the Buffalo Bills. It should have been a flag but referees don’t throw flags on the Kansas City Chiefs and you KNOW it!
£57 million. That is how much the UK allocated to tackle violence against women. A new report shows that it didn’t work. Violence against women in the UK is up.

Zelensky Who?

Russia intelligence reports that NATO is planning to oust Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky from power “by discrediting him ahead of potential elections next fall.”
He’s done a pretty good job of that on his own. What else could NATO do? They could all of a sudden see Zelensky’s own corruption that we have been reporting on Redacted for two years.
Hey, that guy is linked to the “embezzlement of over $1.5 billion in funds intended for purchasing military equipment.” We now know what we have been busy not knowing!
Moscow claims that NATO officials “see Zelensky as a key obstacle to peace talks with Moscow.”
“Washington and Brussels agree that the main obstacle to the implementation of such a scenario is Zelensky, who is referred to in Western circles as nothing more than ‘expendable material,’” the he Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) said in the statement, adding that “even NATO understands that Zelensky’s time is up.”
Dictator Zelensky has held onto power citing marshal law while touring the world to beg for money for more of his people to die. Over the weekend, he said that he doesn’t even know where most of the money the West has sent has gone. Recent reports show that his military is so depleted that they are now enlisting people with diagnosed schizophrenia.
