BREAKING: ZELENSKY IS FINISHED — THE GLOBALISTS ARE CUTTING HIM LOOSE The moment everyone expected has finally arrived. Volodymyr Zelensky — once the media’s golden idol, the globalists’ perfect puppet, and the West’s most useful asset — is now being sacrificed. Anti-corruption authorities just raided his own office in Kyiv. His closest allies are fleeing the country. Investigators say money was skimmed from Ukraine’s energy sector while ordinary Ukrainians sat in darkness during Russian strikes. This is no minor scandal. This is the net tightening. The global machine that installed him… is now dismantling him. Because Zelensky has served his purpose: The war didn’t go the way NATO promised. Western public support collapsed. The money laundering pipelines are being exposed. And now Europe is shifting to “post-Zelensky” planning. So the question becomes: Where will he run? Or will he get erased before he can talk? A desperate leader, engulfed in scandal, with billions unaccounted for and foreign intelligence services circling… This is how globalist assets end: Not with applause — but with handcuffs, exile, or silence.

U.S. BLACK FRIDAY SALES HIT RECORD HIGH U.S. online Black Friday sales reached a record $11.8 billion, up 9.1% from last year, according to Adobe Analytics. Adobe expects Americans to spend $5.5 billion on Saturday and $5.9 billion on Sunday. Salesforce reported $18 billion in total Black Friday spending, with luxury apparel and accessories among the top sellers. Despite higher spending, shoppers bought fewer items due to rising prices. In-store traffic was quieter as many consumers worried about overspending amid inflation and economic uncertainty. Cyber Monday is projected to lead the season with $14.2 billion in online sales, Adobe said.

Putin is the real enemy.
China and XI are the real enemies. Putin is a cold blooded dictator. But, Russia has been made to be symbolically more dangerous than it really is by the U.S. and Europe. NATO and the EU uses Russia’s “potential” aggression as a distraction, an unsubstantiated fear, taking the focus off of how the economies of Europe are ready to collapse. There is so much graft, money laundrying, illegal arms deals going on in Ukraine, beneath the surface of a war that is supposed to be supplying aid and munition only on behalf of the Ukrainian people. However, stories from Ukrainian officials themselves, continue to divulge how it is the Ukrainian oligarchs being enriched by US tax payer dollars. Zelenskyy’s chief of staff, who has fled, is said to have stuffed his pockets with $100 million, while billions have been siphoned off into other unorthodox hands. Zelenskyy himself, is becoming marginalized as he has never really run the war – he merely marketed it around the world. More will be revealed about how many were gaslighted by misinformation supplied by our government-run news and our own government. Meanwhile the Ukrainian people want the war to end, as more and more of their military are arbitrarily leaving their posts.

How many of the early settlements or States practiced the documented multi day ritualistic communal torture via horrendous means like the Huron or the Iroquois did with their captives? Bitter likes to chide Tina by labeling Trump a Rino but even Trump knows that whatever woke touches turns to shit, including revisionist history. Funny how, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Thalib and AOC all believe in cultural moral equivalency, just like bitter. Hey Bitter, you’re worse than a Rino on this issue, you’re a woketard liberal like AOC and the squad.

They were savages intent on warring on each other and who engaged in slavery and ritualistic torture. They believed in conquest and occupation just as much as any white settler. Their conditions were for the most part harsh and their life expectancy was very low. Over thousands of years they developed little in the way of technology that would improve their way of life.
