Trump Being Controlled by Vladimir Putin & Russia
Trump’s subservient conduct towards Vladimir Putin leans credence that Trump is compromised and being controlled by Putin and Russia
Putin helped Trump win his first term, and now Trump owes him. It was never about ‘America First’, it’s always been about satisfying the dictator he’s indebted to.

Why Won’t Republicans Stand Up to Trump Over Putin?
Trump has gutted bipartisan Russia sanctions and signaled plans to meet with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping to carve up spheres of influence. Despite Congress having the constitutional power to intervene, Republican leaders remain silent. Thom Hartmann breaks down how Trump’s recent actions dismantle American foreign policy, empower autocrats, and why the GOP refuses to hold him accountable.

To the delight of Putin, Trump is destroying the United States and NATO while helping to “Make Russia Great Again”. What does Putin have on Trump?
Threats to NATO by Trump Admin ‘one of the most dangerous aspects’ of Iran war
Shortly after Trump told U.S. allies to “go get your own oil” from the Strait of Hormuz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth echoed a similar sentiment. During a Pentagon press briefing, Hegseth called on countries to “step up” over the critical channel adding America “won’t be there to help you anymore”.
Trump has been carrying out Putin’s step-by-step plan to dismantle the US while helping ‘Make Russia Great Again’. The question is whether it’s because of his own stupidity or he’s taking direct orders. The author of Bette Dangerous raises important questions like these, that Americans must ask themselves as Trump is leading the US into increasingly dangerous territory.
Here’s why Trump colludes with Putin!
London, UK – 24 July 2018 It’s now shockingly clear that Donald Trump is Putin’s poodle. We report FIVE FACTS everyone should know about Trump’s Russian money laundering & his high level links to the Kremlin & Russian oligarchs. Trump is financially, politically & morally compromis
Per the above article: “FIVE FACTS that expose Trump’s Russia links”
Here are 5 top facts everyone should know about Trump’s long collusion with Russian organized criminals.
- Trump’s main financial backer for the Trump Tower Toronto was a Russian-Canadian billionaire who got the money by selling a massive steel mill in Ukraine for nearly a billion dollars. $100 million of that money was paid to a Kremlin-backed fixer, likely as a bribe to VERY high Russian officials. The Chairman of the Bank who financed the deal? Vladimir Putin.
- Trump bought his home in Palm Beach, Florida for $41 million. A few years later, with no real increase in the value — he sold it for $95 million — the most expensive home in America at the time! Why? A major Russian oligarch bought it — we don’t know yet why he effectively ‘gave’ Trump $54 million. But it’s classic money laundering practice.
- Trump’s real estate deals were often fuelled by Russian money, typically passed through shady shell companies. 77% of Trump Soho apartments were bought with cash by such mysterious companies. At least 13 people with links to Russian oligarchs or mobsters lived in Trump properties, including one of Russia’s top mobsters. One even ran a high-stakes illegal gambling ring in the apartment right below Trump’s!
“Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets”
Donald Trump JR, 2008 - Trump’s financial broker and “Senior Advisor” was a Russian convicted felon named Felix Sater, widely known as a mafia figure who once stabbed someone in the face with a broken margarita glass, requiring over 100 stitches. Sater helped set up shell companies, and arranged funding for Trump’s projects, including plans for Trump Tower Moscow. He’s also part of Putin’s inner circle. Here’s one email he wrote to Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen in November, 2015: “Michael I arranged for Ivanka to sit in Putins private chair at his desk and office in the Kremlin. I will get Putin on this program and we will get Donald elected. We both know no one else knows how to pull this off without stupidity or greed getting in the way. I know how to play it and we will get this done. Buddy our boy can become President of the USA and we can engineer it. I will get all of Putins team to buy in on this, I will.” New York Times, August 27, 2017
- Trump’s other main business is casinos — which are classic money laundering vehicles. One of his casinos was 100 times found in violation of federal rules protecting against money laundering, and paid the largest fine ever levied against a casino for having “willfully violated” anti-money laundering rules. Trump has a legal obligation to do “due diligence” for all his businesses to prevent laundering. His senior executive’s comment on this was “Donald doesn’t do diligence”.
Trump-Russia Ties Hiding In Plain Sight
Trump’s in-plain-sight embrace of Russia gets obscured by the Trump news avalanche. But long before running for president, Trump relied on Russian money. Trump also consistently defends Russia and attacks U.S. officials investigating Russia.

Trump was complicit in Espionage when he said; Russia: “If you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press”. It’s clear Russia was listening because within hours, Wikileaks released 8,000 DNC emails. The DNC was hacked by two groups that linked to senior levels of the Russian government.
Rachel Maddow reviews some of the highlights of a lengthy report from The Washington Post that Vladimir Putin was directing a cyberattack on the U.S. election.

37 times Trump was soft on Russia | CNN Politics
President Donald Trump has an Achilles’ heel when it comes to Russia. Over the years, he’s made no secret that he has a soft spot for the country and its authoritarian leader, President Vladimir Putin. Here’s a breakdown of 37 occasions when Trump was soft on Russia or gave Putin a boost.
As stated in the above article;
Trump has repeatedly praised Putin
While he was a private citizen, during his 2016 campaign and throughout his presidency, Trump has showered Putin with praise. He said Putin was “so nice,” he called Putin a “strong leader” and said Putin has done “a really great job outsmarting our country.” Trump also claimed he’d “get along very well” with Putin. Few, if any, Western leaders have echoed these comments.
Trump hired Manafort to run his campaign
Trump raised eyebrows in spring 2016 when he hired GOP operative Paul Manafort to run his presidential campaign. Manafort spent a decade working for pro-Russian politicians and parties in Ukraine and cultivated close relationships with Putin-friendly oligarchs. Manafort is currently in prison for, among other things, evading taxes on the $60 million he made from his Ukraine consulting.
Trump suggested Russia can keep Crimea
Trump said Putin did “an amazing job of taking the mantle” when Russia annexed Crimea in 2014. During the presidential campaign, Trump broke with US policy and suggested he was OK if Russia kept the Ukrainian territory. He repeated a Kremlin talking point, saying, “The people of Crimea, from what I’ve heard, would rather be with Russia than where they were.”
Trump aides softened GOP platform on Ukraine
Ahead of the 2016 Republican National Convention, Trump campaign aides blocked language from the party platform that called for the US government to send lethal weapons to Ukraine for its war against Russian proxies. Mueller investigated this for potential collusion but determined the change was not made “at the behest” of Russia. (The Trump administration ultimately gave lethal arms and anti-tank weapons to the Ukrainian military.)
Trump made light of Russian hacking
Throughout the 2016 campaign, Trump cast doubt on the US government assessment that Russia hacked the Democratic National Committee and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman. At a news conference in July 2016, he even asked Russia to hack more, saying, “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,”
Trump denied that Russia interfered in 2016
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the FBI, the CIA, the National Security Agency, the Justice Department and the Senate Intelligence Committee all confirmed that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump. But Trump has repeatedly rejected this view, and publicly sided with Putin at the Helsinki summit in 2018, saying he accepted Putin’s denials.
Trump transition undermined Russian sanctions
After the election, the Trump transition team asked Russia not to retaliate against new US sanctions imposed by then-President Barack Obama. The sanctions were meant to punish Russia for interfering in the election, but then-Trump aide Michael Flynn asked the Russian ambassador not to escalate the situation so they could have a good relationship once Trump took over.
Trump was open to lifting Russian sanctions
Days before his inauguration, Trump told The Wall Street Journal that he was open to lifting sanctions on Russia. He said: “If you get along and if Russia is really helping us, why would anybody have sanctions if somebody’s doing some really great things?” Putin has tried for years to persuade the US and European countries to end crippling sanctions on Russia’s economy.
Trump refused to say Putin is a killer
Bucking other US leaders, Trump has dismissed credible allegations that Putin uses violence against his opponents. Trump said in 2015, “I think it would be despicable if that took place, but I haven’t seen any evidence that he killed anybody, in terms of reporters.” Asked again in February 2017, Trump deflected, saying, “There are a lot of killers. Do you think our country is so innocent?”
Trump mulled giving spy compounds to Russia
The Washington Post reported in May 2017 that the Trump administration considered returning two diplomatic compounds to Russia. The Obama administration expelled Russian diplomats and seized the compounds in New York and Maryland after the 2016 election, claiming they were used for “intelligence” purposes. The compounds were never returned to Russia.
Trump gave Russia classified intelligence
In a shocking move during the early months of his presidency, Trump shared highly classified intelligence with two senior Russian officials during an Oval Office meeting in May 2017. The intelligence, which was about ISIS, was sensitive enough that it could have exposed a vulnerable source. The unplanned disclosure by Trump rattled even many of his Republican allies.
Trump was reluctant to sign Russian sanctions
Lawmakers passed a bipartisan bill in July 2017 imposing new sanctions against Russia, even though Trump administration officials reportedly tried to water down the language. Trump reluctantly signed the bill, but said the new law contained “clearly unconstitutional provisions.” Trump had little choice in the matter because the bill had passed with veto-proof majorities. (The Treasury Department followed up with several rounds of hard-hitting sanctions.)
Trump thanked Putin for expelling US diplomats
Trump thanked Putin for expelling hundreds of US diplomats from Russia in August 2017, saying, “I want to thank him because we’re trying to cut down our payroll.” Putin kicked out the officials to retaliate for US sanctions. Trump’s view conflicted with the State Department, which said the mass expulsion was “uncalled for.” (Trump later said he was being sarcastic.)
Trump criticized and alienated NATO allies
Trump has repeatedly attacked NATO, aligning himself with Putin, who wants to weaken the alliance. Trump said NATO was “obsolete,” rattling European leaders. At his first NATO summit, Trump scolded other countries for not spending enough on defense and declined to commit to NATO’s mutual defense pledge. (Trump later said he supported the mutual defense provision.)
Trump eased sanctions on Deripaska
In January 2019, the Trump administration lifted sanctions on three Russian companies tied to Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch with close ties to Putin. The Treasury Department had sanctioned Deripaska and the companies over his support for Russian interference in the 2016 election. In a bipartisan rebuke, 11 Senate Republicans supported a Democratic resolution calling for the sanctions to remain.
Trump congratulated Putin on his sham election
Ignoring the advice of several top national security aides, Trump congratulated Putin on his March 2018 reelection victory. Putin got 77% of the vote, but Western observers declared that the election “lacked genuine competition” and took place in an “overly controlled legal and political environment.” Trump’s critics said he had given the election legitimacy it did not deserve.
Trump defended USSR invasion of Afghanistan
During a January 2019 Cabinet meeting, Trump defended the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan. He said the Soviet Union “was right” to invade in 1979 because “terrorists were going into Russia.” The comments puzzled many observers, who noted that the Soviets invaded to bolster a communist government and the US had backed Afghan militants who fought the Soviets.
Trump praised pro-Russian leaders in Europe
On several occasions, Trump has praised controversial far-right European leaders who have been shunned by most US officials because of their close ties to Putin. Trump met at the White House with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a top Kremlin ally. He praised the campaign of French politician Marine Le Pen, whose party previously got millions from a Russian bank.
Trump didn’t publicly condemn Russian attack
According to congressional testimony, Trump declined to publicly condemn a Russian attack against Ukrainian military vessels in November 2018, even though the State Department prepared a statement for him. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo criticized Russia’s “dangerous escalation.” The White House didn’t say anything, but Trump canceled a meeting with Putin.
Trump wanted to let Russia back in the G7
Breaking with American allies, Trump repeatedly called for Russia to be invited back into the Group of Seven. Russia was suspended from the working group of leading industrial nations in 2014 after Putin annexed Crimea. At this year’s G7 summit in France, Trump pressed the other leaders to include Russia next year. They balked at the request, which would have been a huge benefit to Putin without any concessions.
Trump’s Syria withdrawal gave Putin a boost
Trump announced in October 2019 that US troops were withdrawing from northern Syria. The abrupt move cleared the way for Turkey to conquer territories previously controlled by the US and allied Kurdish militias. It also gave Russia a golden opportunity to expand its influence and swiftly take over abandoned US outposts and checkpoints. Trump’s move was a boon for Putin.
Trump repeated Kremlin talking points on ISIS
After announcing the Syria withdrawal, Trump repeated Kremlin talking points about ISIS. He said, “Russia hates ISIS as much as the United States does” and that they are equal partners in the fight. But Trump’s comments don’t reflect the reality on the ground: Since intervening in Syria in 2015, the Russian military has focused its airstrikes on anti-government rebels, not ISIS.

Trump spread Russian myths about Ukraine
Over the past two months, Trump has said many false things about Ukraine that align with Russian disinformation about the country. This includes claims of uncontrollable corruption, improper ties between Ukrainian officials and the Obama administration, and allegations that Ukraine meddled in US elections. This helps Putin’s goal of destabilizing US-Ukraine relations.
Trump temporarily froze US aid for Ukraine
As the impeachment inquiry has revealed, Trump personally froze $391 million in US military and security assistance for Ukraine in mid-2019. US diplomats said Ukraine desperately needed the help for its war against Russian proxies. Previously, the Trump administration had slow-walked sales of anti-tank missiles to Ukraine because of concerns it would upset Russia, according to a State Department official.
It is clear these actions have & are giving considerable “Aid and Comfort” to a sworn Enemy which at this very moment has Nuclear Missiles aimed at the United States
Republicans who defend and support Trump are violating their Oath of Office to Protect and Defend this Country, because their Oath to Protect and Defend the Constitution and Defend this country are essentially one and the same.

Sen. John Kennedy questioned former Special Counsel Jack Smith during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, pressing him on his background, his appointment as special counsel and the decisions to prosecute Donald Trump in the classified documents and 2020 election cases. Kennedy also questioned Smith about subpoenas seeking congressional phone records and whether investigators properly addressed constitutional protections under the Speech or Debate Clause. Smith maintained that his prosecutorial decisions were independent and based on the evidence gathered by his team. The exchange became increasingly heated, with Kennedy challenging Smith repeatedly before telling him, “You make me want to throw up in my mouth.”

DIRT BAG Eric Schmitt Makes False Accusation Against Jack Smith
Republican Senator Eric Schmitt proves he’s a DIRT BAG by making false accusations against Prosecutor Jack Smith.
The fact that REPUBLICANS are attacking Prosecutor Jack Smith and doing everything possible to discredit him goes to show what despicable, lawless, POS’s Republicans are who are destroying our country by enabling and defending TRUMP, the worst and most lawless President in History (who evidence shows is an illegitimate President who the majority didn’t vote for)
Sen. Eric Schmitt made complete a fool of himself at Jack Smith’s hearing, accusing Smith of perjury over an Atlanta Hawks game he never went to. Smith was at a women’s game watching Caitlin Clark, and he spent the rest of the hearing repeating under oath that Trump is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Schmitt is one of Trump’s most reliable attack dogs.
His theory, as reported by NBC News and CNN, went like this. Smith secretly went to a Hawks vs. Warriors game in February 2024, right after Fani Willis admitted her relationship with Nathan Wade. Therefore, some shadowy coordination against Trump. His proof? A poster board. Text messages from Smith’s staff asking whether seat “109 Row 1” was reserved for the boss. None of them actually mentioned Atlanta. Smith said he never went to that game. Schmitt accused him of perjury and called him a “total dirtbag.” Then Amy Klobuchar took the mic. The Minnesota senator gave Smith a chance to answer, and he did. He’d been at Maryland vs. Iowa in College Park, a women’s game, to see Clark play.
The Iowa Hawkeyes. Not the Atlanta Hawks.
Klobuchar checked the date on the spot, then turned to Schmitt. “People should have their facts straight before they accuse someone of being a dirtbag,” she told him. She said the smear deserved an apology. Later she added on X: “As a Gopher fan, I know the difference between the Hawks and the Hawkeyes.” So how did Schmitt’s team blow it this badly? According to CNN, they searched every NBA and men’s college game on the schedule that night and found only the Hawks. It apparently never occurred to them that a grown man might buy a ticket to watch women play.That’s the whole Republican playbook in one prop. You can’t beat the evidence, so you go after the prosecutor’s weekend plans. And the evidence is brutal. Smith told senators he would charge any former president on the same facts, whether that president was a Democrat or a Republican. Two separate grand juries agreed the case was real.
A president who lost an election and schemed to stay in power anyway. Nuclear-grade secrets stashed in a bathroom and a party ballroom at Mar-a-Lago. Repeated efforts to hide them from investigators. Any other American does prison time for a fraction of that. One man got a pass, and his allies got a hearing to harass the guy who tried to hold him to the same rules as everyone else. Republicans had hours to rebut that case. They chose a basketball ticket.
Like all reprehensible Radical Right Wing Republicans who lack decency, Schmitt never apologized. He went on the Charlie Kirk Show, where the host praised him for “catching” Smith. Then he posted on X: “Who knew Jack Smith was a Caitlin Clark fan?”
Stupidest Senator of the Day’ Schmitt falsely accused Jack Smith of perjury
Missouri Republican Senator Eric Schmitt had his facts wrong when he confronted special prosecutor Jack Smith in today’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. MS NOW’s Lawrence O’Donnell explains how Republican senators went into today’s hearing hoping to “destroy Jack Smith,” but instead former special prosecutor Smith, “with an assist from Amy Klobuchar, destroyed Eric Schmitt and the Republican charade of a hearing.”

Sen. Dick Durbin RIPS Republicans’ WAR on Jack Smith
Todd Blanche defended Donald Trump in both of the criminal cases Jack Smith brought against him. Now, as attorney general, Blanche gets to decide whether Smith should be charged with lying to Congress. As Smith finally testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Dick Durbin laid out what Smith’s investigations actually found. In this video, I break down the question most coverage is skipping: can they really charge Jack Smith, and would it hold up?
The criminal referral from Representative Jim Jordan rests on Smith’s answer about toll records, which show who called whom and for how long, but not what anybody said. The texts involving 44 members of Congress that Republicans keep pointing to came from a National Archives subpoena for Trump White House phones, not from any phone company.
Former U.S. attorney Harry Litman called it the weakest false statement case he has ever seen. Jordan’s own report shows Smith’s office dropped subpoenas for two more lawmakers when AT&T questioned the legal basis. And at his confirmation hearing, Blanche said yes when a Republican senator asked him to investigate Smith for perjury.
The legal case may be thin, but the decision sits with Trump’s former defense lawyer, running a Justice Department that has already indicted James Comey twice. The Senate decides who runs that department, and voter registration closes Monday, October 5 in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Ohio, with other states close behind. Check your registration today, tell me in the comments whether Congress should be able to refer a prosecutor over a question nobody asked him, and subscribe so you can follow what the Justice Department does with this referral.

He also questions why the committee has not sought access to Volume Two of Smith’s report and calls for its release. Schiff defends Smith and members of his investigative team, citing criticism, firings and threats they have faced. He argues that the hearing should focus on evidence and accountability rather than personal attacks.

Senator Adam Schiff questions former Special Counsel Jack Smith during a Senate hearing, challenging Republican lawmakers over their response to investigations into Donald Trump and the January 6 attack. Schiff points to the 2020 election, Trump’s call with Georgia officials, communications with Justice Department officials, and the investigation into classified documents. He also questions why the committee has not sought access to Volume Two of Smith’s report and calls for its release. Schiff defends Smith and members of his investigative team, citing criticism, firings and threats they have faced. He argues that the hearing should focus on evidence and accountability rather than personal attacks.

Jack Smith Teaches Kennedy Real US Law In 10 Min, Expertly Shuts Down Bids To Corner Him
Sen. John Kennedy questioned former Special Counsel Jack Smith during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, pressing him on his background, his appointment as special counsel and the decisions to prosecute Donald Trump in the classified documents and 2020 election cases. Kennedy also questioned Smith about subpoenas seeking congressional phone records and whether investigators properly addressed constitutional protections under the Speech or Debate Clause. Smith maintained that his prosecutorial decisions were independent and based on the evidence gathered by his team. The exchange became increasingly heated, with Kennedy challenging Smith repeatedly before telling him, “You make me want to throw up in my mouth.”

Sen. Dick Durbin RIPS Republicans’ WAR on Jack Smith
Todd Blanche defended Donald Trump in both of the criminal cases Jack Smith brought against him. Now, as attorney general, Blanche gets to decide whether Smith should be charged with lying to Congress. As Smith finally testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Dick Durbin laid out what Smith’s investigations actually found. In this video, I break down the question most coverage is skipping: can they really charge Jack Smith, and would it hold up?
The criminal referral from Representative Jim Jordan rests on Smith’s answer about toll records, which show who called whom and for how long, but not what anybody said. The texts involving 44 members of Congress that Republicans keep pointing to came from a National Archives subpoena for Trump White House phones, not from any phone company.
Former U.S. attorney Harry Litman called it the weakest false statement case he has ever seen. Jordan’s own report shows Smith’s office dropped subpoenas for two more lawmakers when AT&T questioned the legal basis. And at his confirmation hearing, Blanche said yes when a Republican senator asked him to investigate Smith for perjury.
The legal case may be thin, but the decision sits with Trump’s former defense lawyer, running a Justice Department that has already indicted James Comey twice. The Senate decides who runs that department, and voter registration closes Monday, October 5 in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Ohio, with other states close behind. Check your registration today, tell me in the comments whether Congress should be able to refer a prosecutor over a question nobody asked him, and subscribe so you can follow what the Justice Department does with this referral.

Trump’s ban against CNN, MS NOW and Politico has backfired because the media organizations that make up the official press pool has boycotted covering Trump.

“Today is a victory for the First Amendment—and for the essential role of a free press in American democracy. We are gratified that the Court recognized what this meritless lawsuit sought to obscure: that claims of “fake news” are little more than an attempt to punish news outlets for coverage those in power do not like,” said Polly Grunfeld Sack, USA TODAY Co. chief legal counsel.
“A free press is fundamental to an informed public and a vibrant democracy. This decision reaffirms the enduring First Amendment principles that empower journalists and sends a message to those who think they can intimidate the press through legal action.”
Democrats CAVE to Allow Billionaire Larry Ellison to Buy CNN
12 Democrat Attorneys General dropped their lawsuit to stop the take-over by Trump Supporting Billionaires Larry & Dave Ellison, allowing them buy CNN and turn it into another CBS, Radical Right Wing Republican / Trump Propaganda outlet.
This is another example of how Democrats are WIMPS who let the American people down. Democrats are responsible for putting Trump back in the White House by Kamala Harris failing to get recounts in Swing States after being urged to do so by Cyber Security Export who found evidence that the 2024 election was hacked. Biden is responsible by appointing an incompetent WIMP (Merrick Garland) as AG, who should have immediately prosecuted Trump for inciting an insurrection on J6 which caused 5 deaths. These huge mistakes are why Trump is back in the White House instead of the “Big House”.

Democratic States Cave on Paramount Merger Lawsuit in Win for Billionaire Owners
The settlement will place CNN and CBS News under control of a group chosen by the conglomerate’s board of directors.
Per the above article: “A coalition of Democratic states and Paramount reached a settlement in a lawsuit against its proposed $111 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery on Monday, paving the way for one of the largest media mergers in history — and a massive consolidation of power over a huge swath of the entertainment and news industries under the Radical Right Wing, Trump Supporting billionaire Ellison family.
Attorneys general from 12 states had sued to block the merger, which leading California Attorney General Rob Bonta had called “unlawful,” amid a flurry of antitrust concerns from prominent Hollywood figures and press freedom groups. The Writers Guild of America’s (WGA) lawsuit against the merger was also settled on Monday, with the union saying that its members could not afford to continue the legal battle on their own.
The antitrust lawsuit was the last major obstacle for the deal, which has already been blessed by the Trump administration. Attorneys general from 12 states had sued to block the merger, which leading California Attorney General Rob Bonta had called “unlawful,” amid a flurry of antitrust concerns from prominent Hollywood figures and press freedom groups. The Writers Guild of America’s (WGA) lawsuit against the merger was also settled on Monday, with the union saying that its members could not afford to continue the legal battle on their own.
The merger will grant widespread power to a company that would effectively control CNN; CBS News; and, in all, roughly 30 percent of wide-release theatrical film distribution and basic cable channel licensing. It amounts to roughly 20 percent of Americans’ television watching time — all conglomerated under the leadership of Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison. David Ellison is a major ally to Trump and son of Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, who has personally donated millions to Israel’s military.
The deal also includes a supposed commitment to a “News Editorial Independence Board” for the management of CNN and CBS, which will comprise of former or current journalists who are hand-picked by the conglomerate’s board of directors. News analysts and advocates have already cast doubt on the idea that the board will be effective, however, as past efforts to form similar such structures have failed.
David Ellison has already demonstrated a willingness to steer the news toward the right wing in his appointment of right-wing media figure Bari Weiss as CBS’s editor-in-chief last year. Meanwhile, press freedom advocates on Monday also urged David Ellison to oppose Trump’s recent ban on CNN in the press pool, noting his silence on the issue despite his stated commitments to press freedom.
Some of the world’s most repressive regimes will have a say at the company, too. The settlement comes just days after the Federal Communications Commission approved Paramount Skydance’s plan to allow the sovereign wealth funds of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates to have a 49.5 percent equity stake in the newly merged company.
The deal immediately faced a deluge of criticism after it was announced on Monday, with critics saying that it will have “devastating” results for the nation’s media landscape and press freedom at a time of massive repression under the Trump administration.
“Today, billionaires have yet again bribed, censored, and bullied their way to the top,” said Alvaro Bedoya, a senior advisor for the American Economic Liberties Project. “As a result, a billionaire media conglomerate closely allied with the president will soon own one of its closest rivals, including some of the nation’s most critical news outlets.”
Over 5,000 filmmakers, documentarians, and other movie and television professionals signed a letter in April stating their opposition, including prominent directors and actors, under the umbrella of a group called the Block the Merger coalition. The coalition said that their members “vehemently oppose” the agreement on Monday.
“This is a bad deal for the future of film, entertainment, independent journalism, and a strong democracy in this country,” the group said. “We are disappointed and angry that the interests of average Americans have been trampled to benefit oligarch billionaires.”
The settlement comes despite experts saying that the states had a chance at blocking the merger, having secured a pause by a judge earlier this year.
“The Paramount/Warner Brothers merger seems facially illegal,” said Lina Khan, former Federal Trade Commission chair and leading antitrust expert, in a statement on Sunday. Khan noted that the lawsuit against it was strong, meaning it had a chance of succeeding.
However, she said, “it’s troubling to hear that the states may now settle for behavioral remedies, allowing the deal to go through subject to various promises from the firms. Behavioral remedies routinely fail, and the stakes here are particularly high given that a strong democracy requires open markets for sound journalism and creative expression.”

What you need to know about Trump pal Larry Ellison
Larry Ellison Just Quietly Became the Most Powerful Man in America
With the Paramount-Skydance merger approved by the FCC, Larry Ellison just showed the world who is the real shot caller in the White House.
Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, the 80-year-old software tycoon and second-richest man in the world, became the Most Powerful Man in the World
On Thursday evening, the Federal Communications Commission voted to approve Paramount’s $8.4 billion merger with fellow entertainment firm Skydance Media. The controversial, long-awaited deal only came about thanks to Paramount’s appeals to this administration: settling a baseless lawsuit that Trump brought against 60 Minutes for “deceptively” editing its Kamala Harris interview, pressuring subsidiary CBS News to shift its “balance” in a right-wing direction, and canceling presidential foe and beloved comedian Stephen Colbert’s highly rated late-night talk show.
Of note: Skydance is owned by Ellison’s son, David, who personally met with both Trump and FCC Chair Brendan Carr to get the deal done. The elder Ellison is covering most of the cash to close the Skydance-Paramount merger, which will give him significant control over the new company and a chance to carry out, as he detailed in federal filings, a wholesale transformation of CBS in his vision—including broadcasts of complimentary PSAs for Trump administration initiatives.
When Carr announced the merger approval, he positively affirmed “Skydance’s commitment to make significant changes at the once storied CBS broadcast network,” including the impending hire of an “ombudsman” who’ll monitor CBS News broadcasts for “bias” as the overall company slashes its diversity, equity, and inclusion guidelines. Said Trump himself of his “friend” Larry Ellison: “I think he’s going to run CBS really well, and I think he’s making a good deal to buy it.”
Through this brazenly corrupt arrangement, the U.S. president has granted one of his pals uninhibited control over a longtime bastion of mainstream, fact-based news, which he openly intends to bend toward his Radical Right Wing vision. And that’s just one of the ways Trump is helping Larry Ellison become the most powerful and not-so-secretly influential tech mogul in the country.
Oracle, which Larry still runs as chief technology officer and board chairman, is also in talks with David Ellison’s Skydance for a major deal that would see the latter pay the former $100 million a year to run all of Paramount’s tech through Oracle’s valuable cloud-computing software. Skydance already pays Oracle $2.2 million a year for its cloud and platform products, and the FCC explicitly signed off on David Ellison’s plan to run all of Paramount’s and Skydance’s software on the same cloud tech, which will be provided by Oracle.

Scott Pelley: What Has Happened to ‘60 Minutes’ Is a Tragedy
Lulu Garcia-Navarro writes: It’s hard to overstate the impact of “60 Minutes” on journalism. It’s the most-watched television-news program in America. Since its debut on CBS in 1968, it’s been the home of some of the most-storied broadcast journalists, from Mike Wallace and Ed Bradley to Lesley Stahl, Anderson Cooper and, until this past week, Scott Pelley.
Pelley, who was at the network for 37 years, including as White House correspondent, anchor of the “CBS Evening News” and “60 Minutes” correspondent, was fired after an explosive series of events and much turmoil over the past few years at CBS. These events include a controversial financial settlement with President Trump over a “60 Minutes” segment; the sale of the network to David Ellison; and the appointment of Bari Weiss, a former New York Times Opinion staffer and founder of The Free Press with no television-news experience, to lead CBS News.
Pelley’s firing came after Weiss dismissed several of his colleagues and hired a new “60 Minutes” boss, Nick Bilton, whom Pelley then clashed with in a staff meeting. Pelley, along with a number of other “60 Minutes” correspondents who were fired, have now accused Weiss of editorial interference and bias, charges that CBS News and Weiss deny.
In his first sit-down interview since he was fired, Pelley told me about the specific incident he viewed as interference, about his experiences at CBS News over the past weeks and months, and about what he hopes will come of this very tumultuous time at the network where he spent most of his career.

Trump Supporting Billionaire Larry Ellison Taking Over CBS and CNN to Silence Trump Critics
CBS / Paramount Caved to Trump’s extortion by paying a multi-million dollar ‘bribe” to settle Trump’s baseless law suit so his corrupt FCC Chief will approve the Paramount-Skydance merger, plus agree to cancel Stephen Colbert, turn CBS into the new FOX NEWS PRO-TRUMP PROPAGANDA outlet and end DEI. As stated in an article below; “Trump’s FCC Chief Brendan Carr Is Acting More Like a Mob Enforcer Than a Federal Regulator”.
While the ultimate decision to settle involved multiple actors within Paramount, including the board of directors, reports indicate that Shari Redstone, the chair and controlling shareholder of Paramount, was a key proponent of exploring a settlement with Trump. Some executives viewed Trump’s lawsuit as a potential hurdle to completing a proposed sale of the company to Skydance Media, which required the Trump administration’s approval.
Other individuals involved in the settlement process included CBS News executives and legal teams who initially opposed a settlement, citing the First Amendment and the perceived lack of merit in the lawsuit. However, the settlement was ultimately reached through mediation efforts
In a secret meeting between CBS and CBS News’ new owner (Skydance) and the Trump Administration, promised Trump that they would effectively be the new Fox News Propaganda outlet, running Trump approved ads, and putting Trump friendly news and programming on the air. Trump’s FCC crony just approved the sale of CBS’ parent to a big Trump supporter’s son. Michael Popok takes a look at a new letter that reveals it all, and what it means for CBS and its viewership.

A former FBI agent who was embedded in the CIA’s Bin Laden unit, Mark Rossini, claims the CIA was fully aware that the 9/11 hijackers were in the United States planning an attack. Rather than inform the FBI, the CIA tried to recruit two of the hijackers for a “false-flag” operation, which quickly spiraled out of control.

With the Paramount-Skydance merger approved by the FCC, Larry Ellison just showed the world who is the real shot caller in the White House.
Billionaire oligarch Peter Thiel became the Gravedigger, Destroyer and Enemy of Democracy
Peter Thiel is often labeled as just another Silicon Valley success story – a venture capital titan who turned a small investment in Facebook into a multi-billion dollar empire. But look closer, and a different story emerges. While the world watched his wealth grow, Thiel was quietly engineering a network of techno-authoritarianism designed to dismantle the very foundations of Western democracy.
Lets pulls back the curtain on the man who famously wrote that freedom and democracy are no longer compatible. This is not just a story about technology and money; it is a deep dive into power, influence, and the social commentary of a man who isn’t just betting on the future- he’s buying it.
From the surveillance infrastructure of Palantir to the calculated politics of the “PayPal Mafia,” Thiel’s fingerprints are all over American politics. Through the installation of protégés like J.D. Vance and the strategic use of lawfare against the media, he is crafting a world where elites operate beyond the reach of the public. This video explores the intersection of libertarianism, globalism, and the rise of a new class of tech billionaires who believe the “old systems” are ready to be torn down.
In an era of rapid change and current events that feel stranger than fiction, understanding Peter Thiel’s political commentary and his vision for a post-democratic world is essential. Is he a visionary saving humanity, or the architect of a new authoritarianism?
Peter Thiel’s Anti-Human Plan Is Pure Evil
Gil Duran, publisher of the Nerd Reich newsletter, joins to discuss John O’Farrell a former partner at Andreessen Horowitz who recently quit the VC firm over their prioritizing of AI hype over the common good.

Peter Thiel: Anti-Democracy Billionaire Heretic
“I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.” –Peter Thiel
a new batch of billionaire converts to the Roman Catholic Church that are also trying to take over our country. And who hate the moderation of Pope Leo and hated Pope Francis even worse because of their moderate positions, which to these far right wing billionaire oligarchs are anathema. They want to live in a society in which they are not controlled. They can profit from what they’re doing. And I’m going to be honest, most of them are on a psychological spectrum that makes them unfit to be leaders anywhere.
They’re very clever in some little narrow tech field. But other than that, they’re absolutely monstrous people. Intelligent in one area and really dumb about everything else. Very greedy and very twisted. And very much like Donald Trump, with no limits to what they do or say or the lies they tell.
The Times of London, a very venerable newspaper, on March 16, 2026, has an article that brought up this whole idea of the Spanish Inquisition. The headline is “Peter Thiel labeled a heretic by Vatican aide over “Antichrist talks.”” The Palantir tycoon is giving a series of lectures in Rome and is undermining liberal society, according to a Franciscan friar who advises the Vatican.
Peter Thiel has been labeled a heretic after opening a series of lectures in Rome on the Antichrist, which is a pretty bizarre thing for him to claim any expertise in as a convert to the Roman Catholic Church and a tech billionaire. Thiel, co-founder of Palantir and PayPal, began a four-part invitation-only discussion, mostly to far-right European followers.
Paolo Benanti, a Franciscan friar who advised Pope Francis on artificial intelligence, accused him of undermining “the foundations of liberal society.” He said Thiel’s entire body of work can be interpreted as a sustained act of heresy against the liberal consensus, a challenge to the very foundations of civil coexistence.
Critics accuse Palantir, which provides data analytics to government, of enabling mass surveillance and state overreach. Benanti said that pursuing a project that leads to the dissolution of democratic structures through powerful technology is detrimental to democracy.
I was in Rome this week at the same time Thiel was. I was wandering around in the Jewish ghetto, looking at the plaques in the cobblestones documenting the deportation and killing of thousands of Jews from Italy.
So the fact that a right wing theocrat who doesn’t believe in democracy any longer is lecturing in Rome has an odd flavor, given the history of fascism in Italy and the Holocaust.
Thiel was a key advisor to Trump and is close to JD Vance, also a Catholic convert, also someone criticized by Pope Leo for what he says about the poor and “the least of these.” Vance has even suggested redefining Christian charity so it applies mainly to families and not strangers, which contradicts both the New and Old Testament.
During a previous series in San Francisco, Thiel said he was worried about the Antichrist and about death, which is why he funds research into longevity, including blood transfusions from young people and other extreme ideas. This whole tech mogul longevity movement wants to upload brains to computers, live forever, and engineer a perfect race. These guys are not well mentally.
The projects he supports make ordinary people’s lives harder, yet he is afraid of death. If the teachings of the Church are true, that is a serious contradiction.
The operating principle is simple. Rules are for other people. Power and profit are the point.
Thiel, Musk, Trump, Epstein. That is their world.
The paper trail is not confusing. We know who Peter Thiel is. Therefore we know who JD Vance is. Therefore we know who Elon Musk is. Therefore we know who Donald Trump is. They are counting on you not bothering to dig up the facts. But I remember those Nazi flags flying in Swakopmund in the mid-1980s.
Master Plan That Peter Thiel Doesn’t Want You To See
Peter Thiel is funding a plan to build privatized city-states everywhere from Gaza and Venezuela to small towns in California. The goal is to replace governments with for-profit companies.
We investigated how Thiel’s scheme is already reshaping democracy across the world.

Larry Ellison Just Quietly Became the Most Powerful Man in America
With the Paramount-Skydance merger approved by the FCC, Larry Ellison just showed the world who is the real shot caller in the White House.
Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, the 80-year-old software tycoon and second-richest man in the world, became the Most Powerful Man in the World
On Thursday evening, the Federal Communications Commission voted to approve Paramount’s $8.4 billion merger with fellow entertainment firm Skydance Media. The controversial, long-awaited deal only came about thanks to Paramount’s appeals to this administration: settling a baseless lawsuit that Trump brought against 60 Minutes for “deceptively” editing its Kamala Harris interview, pressuring subsidiary CBS News to shift its “balance” in a right-wing direction, and canceling presidential foe and beloved comedian Stephen Colbert’s highly rated late-night talk show.
Of note: Skydance is owned by Ellison’s son, David, who personally met with both Trump and FCC Chair Brendan Carr to get the deal done. The elder Ellison is covering most of the cash to close the Skydance-Paramount merger, which will give him significant control over the new company and a chance to carry out, as he detailed in federal filings, a wholesale transformation of CBS in his vision—including broadcasts of complimentary PSAs for Trump administration initiatives.
When Carr announced the merger approval, he positively affirmed “Skydance’s commitment to make significant changes at the once storied CBS broadcast network,” including the impending hire of an “ombudsman” who’ll monitor CBS News broadcasts for “bias” as the overall company slashes its diversity, equity, and inclusion guidelines. Said Trump himself of his “friend” Larry Ellison: “I think he’s going to run CBS really well, and I think he’s making a good deal to buy it.”
Through this brazenly corrupt arrangement, the U.S. president has granted one of his pals uninhibited control over a longtime bastion of mainstream, fact-based news, which he openly intends to bend toward his Radical Right Wing vision. And that’s just one of the ways Trump is helping Larry Ellison become the most powerful and not-so-secretly influential tech mogul in the country.
Oracle, which Larry still runs as chief technology officer and board chairman, is also in talks with David Ellison’s Skydance for a major deal that would see the latter pay the former $100 million a year to run all of Paramount’s tech through Oracle’s valuable cloud-computing software. Skydance already pays Oracle $2.2 million a year for its cloud and platform products, and the FCC explicitly signed off on David Ellison’s plan to run all of Paramount’s and Skydance’s software on the same cloud tech, which will be provided by Oracle.

Radical Right Wing Trump Supporting Billionaire Larry Ellison, who believed the 2020 election was stolen used his own money to buy CBS and install his son as the boss
CBS / Paramount Caved to Trump’s extortion by paying a multi-million dollar ‘bribe” to settle Trump’s baseless law suit so his corrupt FCC Chief will approve the Paramount-Skydance merger, plus agree to cancel Stephen Colbert, turn CBS into the new FOX NEWS PRO-TRUMP PROPAGANDA outlet and end DEI. As stated in an article below; “Trump’s FCC Chief Brendan Carr Is Acting More Like a Mob Enforcer Than a Federal Regulator”.
While the ultimate decision to settle involved multiple actors within Paramount, including the board of directors, reports indicate that Shari Redstone, the chair and controlling shareholder of Paramount, was a key proponent of exploring a settlement with Trump. Some executives viewed Trump’s lawsuit as a potential hurdle to completing a proposed sale of the company to Skydance Media, which required the Trump administration’s approval.
Other individuals involved in the settlement process included CBS News executives and legal teams who initially opposed a settlement, citing the First Amendment and the perceived lack of merit in the lawsuit. However, the settlement was ultimately reached through mediation efforts
In a secret meeting between CBS and CBS News’ new owner (Skydance) and the Trump Administration, promised Trump that they would effectively be the new Fox News Propaganda outlet, running Trump approved ads, and putting Trump friendly news and programming on the air. Trump’s FCC crony just approved the sale of CBS’ parent to a big Trump supporter’s son. Michael Popok takes a look at a new letter that reveals it all, and what it means for CBS and its viewership.

GOP billionaires vs. democracy: they know what they’re getting into this time
GOP billionaires who sought alternatives to Trump are coming back into the fold, and the Trump campaign is hoping to receive some big donations soon. This time around, the donor class ‘cannot make the argument that they don’t know what they’re getting into’, says Sheelah Kolhatkar, staff writer at The New Yorker. Faced with the choice of losing some wealth to preserve democracy, many of the ultra-wealthy seem to be leaning towards their personal short-term financial interests. ‘They put up the walls and protect what they’ve hoarded for themselves.’
Republican billionaires rally around Trump for April fundraiser as election – and scramble for cash – heats up | CNN Politics
Hedge fund founder John Paulson is hosting a high-dollar fundraiser next month to benefit Donald Trump’s presidential campaign that is drawing some of the Republican Party’s wealthiest donors, according to an invitation obtained by CNN.
After Musk had a dispute with Trump over his “Big Beautiful Bill”, on June 5, 2025 Musk posted on “X”: Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate”.
Musk’s statement has such specific claims of what the 2024 election outcome would have been without his help that it lends credence to engaging in data manipulation and election rigging to put Trump back in the White House, especially when added to other suspicious comments and evidence.
The above video shows Trump thanking Elon Musk at a rally on 1-19-2025 for help with ‘Vote Counting Computers’ stating; “he knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers, those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. So,thank you to Elon”.
Elon Musk stated; “I’m a technologist. I know a lot about computers and I’m like the last thing I would do is trust a computer because it’s just too easy to hack…. just one line“. When Tucker Carlson asked Musk’s 4 yr/old son if Trump was going to win, he said; “Yeah, they’ll never know”.
