As Interpol Chases Zelensky's Corrupt Cronies, US Congress Moves To Send Another $billion To Kiev Regime

 

 

While we in Britain marvel at the madness of the political elite as they scheme and manoeuvre to plunge our cointry into ever deeper economic and constitutional chaos it is small comfort to learn that the USA is led by an equally insane and out-of-touch-with-reality political class.

But not to be outdone by UK efforts to ditch our Prime Minister after his two hears of constant cock ups, failures and betrayals, the US Congress is, as I write, trying to commit their government to bunging another $ $1.3 billion in military aid and other assistance to Ukraine, as Zelensky and his crooked cronies that country contunue to pocket the cash donations and sell on the arms to terrorists continues to lose territory in its war with Russia.

We Boggart Bloggers, somewhat naively perhaps, thought when we reported a few months ago on Ukraines network of corruption and criminality that surrounds Zelensky the coke-snorting-catamite with the piano playing penis, that it would soon be over for the Banderite regime in Kiev, but somehow, propped up by money and weapons supplied by US and European taxpayers they are hanging on even as interpol close the net on some of the biggest Ukie crooks.

All 215 House Democrats signed a discharge petition, a means by which representatives can bypass House leadership's agenda-setting role and compel a vote on a bill. Seldom used over House history, discharge petitions are showing their potency in a House ruled by a narrow majority, as is the case today. Most famously, Republican Rep. Thomas Massie and Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna used the maneuver last year to compel a vote on forcing the release of the Epstein investigation files. For this Ukraine bill, the Democrats were joined by two Republicans -- Pennsylvania Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick and Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon -- along with California independent Kevin Kiley, who earlier this year left the GOP. 

Kiley's signature on the petition pushed to the required 218. "Recent Ukrainian gains have created an opportunity for peace, but the collapse of the recent ceasefire shows that leverage is needed for diplomacy to succeed," he said in a statement. That will force Johnson to bring a vote to the floor on the Ukraine Support Act.

Meanwhile Ukraine’s High Anti-Corruption Court has ordered the pre-trial detention of Andriy Yermak, the powerful former head of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Office and once the country’s second-most influential figure, on money-laundering charges tied to a high-profile corruption scheme.

Yermak, whom you may remember from our reports, likes to sit on a toilet made of pure gold (paid for by money sent by western governments on belaf of American and European taxpayers for the purpose of provinging humanitarian aid to Ukraiian citizens,) 

Prosecutors allege he participated in an organized criminal group that funneled illicit funds - originating from kickbacks at the state nuclear energy company Energoatom-through shell companies and fake contracts into the construction of a luxury residential complex (known as “Dynasty”) in the affluent village of Kozyn, south of Kyiv.

The broader “Midas” investigation into Energoatom reportedly uncovered a pattern where contractors paid 10-15% kickbacks to officials to secure or maintain deals. Funds were allegedly laundered between 2021 and 2025 via elite real estate development.

Yermak faces charges under Part 3 of Article 209 of Ukraine’s Criminal Code (legalization of criminally obtained proceeds). A conviction could carry up to 12 years in prison.

After multi-day hearings, the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) imposed 60 days of pre-trial detention starting May 14, with an alternative of bail set at 140 million hryvnias (roughly $3.2 million). Prosecutors had requested a higher bail of 180 million hryvnias (about $4 million).

Yermak was remanded in custody immediately, though he could secure release if the full bail is posted while the case proceeds.

He added that he had been shown evidence of damage caused by Ukie drone strikes during his visit to the plant.

Will Commodities Be The New Reserve Currency As The Death Knell Of The Dollar Sounds?
Many respected economists and market analysts who favour the free markets approach concur that we are heading towards a new economic reality that will see the collapse of the US$ as the default reserve currency, to be replaced not by any other fiat currency such as the Euro or the Renminbi, but by a system in which  commodities are the primary denominator of value. Should this turn out to be the case we can expect an acceleration of the shift in geopolitical power from west to East.

US Lawmakers Move To Subpoena Bill Gates Over Role In The Epstein Scandal

by Arthur Foxake, 5 February 2026 

Bill Gates Responds to Epstein Email Claim He Got STI From 'Russian ...
Bill Gates - The face of a worried man (picture: ph.headtopics ) 

 The latest development in the Epstein scandal is that US Congresswoman Nancy Mace is turning up the heat on Bill Gates, pushing for a subpoena that could force the tech tycoon to spill the beans on his shady ties to Jeffrey Epstein—exposing how deep the rot runs in the elite circles that have long evaded justice.

Bill Gates is one of many influential people mentioned by name in the 3 million newly released pages of Epstein's personal communications, packed with stomach-turning allegations about some very big names, Mace isn’t buying Gates’ denials that he was a big player in the operation, demanding he testify before Congress to set the record straight or face the consequences.

Mace wasted no time after seeing Melinda Gates’ eye-opening comments about her ex-husband and Epstein during an NPR interview.  Mace immediately announced a push to subpoena Bill Gates in a scathing social media post, revealing she has asked House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) to haul the Microsoft founder in “immediately.”

“Three million pages of Epstein files documents were just released by the DOJ and the allegations are SICK. If these allegations are false, Bill Gates should have no problem saying so under oath before Congress,” Mace declared/

“Nobody is above the law. Not billionaires. Not the powerful. Nobody,” she added.

Other member have been quick to support her demand that Gates be required to explain his relationship with Epstein to the US Congress. 

Yesterday I commented in Moon of Alabama that the Epstein scandal, which has been simmering for years in US alt_news comment threads gas exploded in the UK this week as attention shifted from former Prince Randy Andy and underage girls to the exact nature of  twice disgraced and twice sacked from government roles for dodgy dealing, former UK Ambassador to the USA Peter (Mandy) Mandelson’s frienship with Epstein. 

The fact that Mandy was personally appointed by Prime Minister Starmer looks like bringing down Starmer's goverment whie the story behind the large sums of money paid into Mandy’s bank account by Epstein and the lage amounts of sensitive and secret financial and government information passed to Epstein by Mandy will bring down other people in business and politics. 

One aspect of the story that has interested me for years but is rarely mentioned in mainstream news is the mystery of Epstein’s enormous wealth. Reportedly the guy did now own any companies or control any hedge funds so how did he afford the private jets, private islands and multiple luxury homes. And how did he manage to fund a network of sex operatives  and procurers, including the Russian girl who allegedly gave Bill Gates the clap, to draw so many wealthy and influential individuals ino his web? And for what – blackmail? Espionage?

It has been my belief for years that the sex aspect of this case is being used as a distraction from the bigger scandal. The real story, the one the political and financial elites are desperate to keep away from the public, relates to the information that has only come to light in the past few days, the Mandelson connection and the influence Mandy had over UK government policy, and Epstein's close relationship with Bill Gates and what Gates gave in return for Epstein's servicing the unbernerd's sexual peccadilloes.  Documents already revealed have shown Gates discussed the business of his vaccine interests and links to GAVI with Epstein .

The next question is who paid? Other multi – billionaires besides Gates have been linked to the scandal but what would they have to gain. Some have suggested he was a Russian or Israeli ‘asset’. It doesn’t seem like Russia’s style to me and what would Israel have to gain when they have a lot of financial an political clout in the US already. My bet is Epstein was working for China. I’d also bet this story still has a long way to run, keeping the focus on sexual depravity has served to contain it, but if as I suspect the Mandelson angle shifts the focus onto who and what Epstein really was I think it is going to get much bigger and wider as more detail is released.   

As mainstream media's coverage of the scandal has always focused on the titillating aspects of the sexual activity which always seemed to surround the disgraced financier we should remind ourslves that Epstein was part of a bigger conspiracy and that conspiracy goes on without him. All we’re getting is limited handouts of edited information. 

The biggest question now is not who Epstein really was and how he acuired his vast wealth. The question is who killed Epstein? because only when we find out who needed him silenced will we be able to follow a trail that leads to the source of his corrupt network, and lead to who knows how many prominent figures being disgraced and discredited. 

The establishment media does not even doesn’t even ask the questions anymore. They just accept the narrative haded out by government press offices. They’re just in it for the  sensation, never mind the plot.

As Support For Ukraine Is Waning Among Europeans, Pentagno Warns Biden War Fatigue In The USA Is Growning

 

In April 2022 the majority of Europeans who responded to opinion polling questions on Ukraine  “fully approved of” , continuing to provide weapons and ammunition, financial support and humanitarian aid to the government and people if Ukraine in that country's war with Russia, and furthermore wanted the economic sanctions already imposed on Russia following its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 stepped up. Similar levels of support for the neo - Nazi government in Kiev were also recorded by opinion polls in the USA.

However, by the third quarter 2023 similar polling shows a significant mood change with none of the measures that previous had overwhelming support now being backed a majority of EU or US citizens.

In a meta analysis of polling results, support for providing humanitarian aid to people affected by the war was found to have dropped from 64 percent last year to 47 percent. Support for welcoming without question Ukrainian refugees into the European Union decreased from 55 percent to 36 percent, while approval for the continuation of economic sanctions against Moscow has dropped from 55 percent to 46 percent.

Similarly, just 26 percent of Europeans now totally agree with the European Union providing financial support to Ukraine, down from 42 percent, and only 24 percent totanowlly agree with the supply of military equipment to Kyiv.

In fairness we should point out that all of the above categories, with the exception of supplying military equipment, still garner a majority of support when factoring in those who opted for “somewhat agree,” but the latest polling show a trend diminishing support for a conflict that after eighteen months seems no nearer a solution.

Ukraine was dealt a heavy blow earlier this month when Poland, one of Kyiv’s staunchest allies in the conflict against Russia, announced it would no longer be supplying weapons to its neighbor and would instead be focusing on stockpiling its own national defenses.

And the war fatigue effect is not confined to Europe. Over the weekend the US Congress, in a last minute bi partisan deal, passed its short-term funding package which narrowly avoided a government shutdown only by removing from the appropriations money allocated for financial and military assistance for Ukraine. 

President Biden has warned that time is running out on available aid. He told Congress to "stop playing games" and agree to provide whatever funds and advanced weaponry the madman Zelenskyyyyy demands. Hardline Republicans however dug in their heels and refused to cooperate with the cognitively impaired president or whoever is pulling his strings (no prizes for guessing that person's name begins with O and ends with bama.)

"We cannot under any circumstances allow America’s support for Ukraine to be interrupted" the Biden said, and added, "We have time, not much time, and there’s an overwhelming sense of urgency." Biden vowed he will "not walk away" from supporting Kiev. It is not just the Republicans in congress that are distancing themselves from The White House's proxy war with Russia. Late on Saturday CNN reported a top a top US defense official warning the politicians as follows: 

"The Department of Defense "has exhausted nearly all available security assistance funding for Ukraine," offering stark warnings about the battlefield effects of failing to pass new assistance.

 

A sense of boredom with the war is also starting to set in among the electorate as the election draws near. A recent SSRS poll for CNN revealed a majority of Americans now believe that Washington D.C. should withdraw financial support to Kyiv and scale down shipments or armaments to the Ukrainian military who tend to treat multi million pound missiles as if they are fireworks at a carnival.

A total of 55 percent of respondents said that the U.S. Congress should not authorize further funding for Ukraine and 51 percent of those polled said that NATO’s largest contributor had already done enough to help the country.

... The official narrative was designed to justify military intervention by US and NATO in Syria’s civil war, but western leaders were dissuaded fro, this course of action by Russia’s Putin and China’s President Xi. Later it was revealed that a minority report actually considered the facts, which pointed to the gas attack on Douma being a false flag attack carried out by forces attached to terrorist group Al Nusra.

Recall, too, that US Secretary of State John Kerry demanded last month, with typical haughtiness, for Russia to «bring Assad to the negotiating table». Not that there is much to discuss as far as Washington, London or Paris are concerned. Assad has to go, in their arrogant view, sooner or later.

By going into so-called «diplomacy mode», as opposed to covert terrorist-supporting mode, what the Western imperial overlords expect is for Russia to comply with a political framework concocted in order to push Assad from power. That modus operandi is a negation of Syrian sovereignty, of course. And Russia is much too intelligent to be hoodwinked by these Western charlatans.

Obama's Farewell - The World Breathes A Sigh Of Relief

From my 'safe space' in Britain I was spared all but minimal exposure to the farewell speech of America's first black president, Brack Hussein Obama. The snippets I have read, heard or seen suggest it was every bit as self - aggrandising, vapid, cliche - ridden and divorced from reality as every other speech this poseur has made since 2008. No surprises there then, anyone who has seen Obama standing at the podium, mouth noiselessly flapping like a codfish on the deck of a trawler on occasions when his autocue has failed will know that the great orator, acclaimed by his sycophantic disciples for his intellect and soaring rhetoric, is a gibbering idiot when there is no electronic device feeding him words.

It hardly needs saying then that Obama's final speech as president, peppered liberally with strongly emphasised personal pronouns as per usual, was all about what a great president Barack Hussein Obama has been. No mention of course of the deeply divided, economically failing nation he will hand over to his successor, nor of the wars, those he has started and those he has failed to finish. Oh no, the boy  Barry is quite convinced the USA is a far better place now than it was when he was inaugurated.

A majority of Americans seem to differ however. Here's a masterful deconstruction of the farewell speech, , from David Harsanyi for The Federalist, in which the lies, delusions, arrogance and hubris of Barack Hussein Obama are exposed.

The Comforting Fictions Of Obama’s Farewell Speech

Last night the president cast himself as a resilient truth teller. The reality is quite different.
 
Watching Barack Obama’s speech at the 2008 DNC in Denver, I doubt I could have imagined the kind of turmoil his presidency would incite. Almost everything has changed in the subsequent years, and yet his farewell speech to the nation was brimming with the same kind of haughty lecturing we got back then.

Obama loves to conflate progressivism with patriotism, pitting the forces of decency and empathy — his own — against the self-serving profiteers and meddling reactionaries who stand in the way. All of it is swathed in phony optimism.

The president’s central case for government’s existence rests on the notion of the state being society’s moral center, engine of prosperity, and arbiter of fairness. This has never been normal. Obama speaks of government as a theocrat might of church—and his fans return the favor by treating him like a pope. This was true in 2008. And it’s true now. Just check out liberal Twitterdom.

There was much to process, and many policy claims to debunk, but for me the most grating aspect of the address were the broader fictions Obama likes to repeat.
“When Congress is dysfunctional,” Obama explained, “we should draw our districts to encourage politicians to cater to common sense and not rigid extremes.” For the president, a “dysfunctional” Congress means a Congress unwilling to pass progressive legislation. That is not the definition of dysfunctional, I’m afraid. Nor is it the definition of extreme.

There is nothing in the Constitution instructing legislators to acquiesce to the president. In the near future, the GOP Congress will be passing tons of legislation, and I can assure you neither Obama, nor his many fans in the media, will be celebrating the fact that Congress is finally “getting stuff done” or “doing its job.” 

Progress will no longer be measured in the number of bills signed.
