George Galloway was temporarily detained at Gatwick Airport under the Terrorism Act upon his return from Russia on Saturday, according to his Workers Party of Britain.

Officers from the Metropolitan Police’s Counter Terrorism Command stopped the 71-year-old former MP, along with his wife. The police have acknowledged an incident, but have not confirmed that Galloway was the man detained.

“We can confirm that on Saturday, 27 September counter-terrorism officers at Gatwick Airport stopped a man in his 70s and a woman in her 40s under Schedule 3 of the Counter Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019. Neither of them were arrested and they were allowed on their way,” a Met spokesperson stated.

The Workers Party of Britain confirmed in a post on X that their leader and his wife were detained, branding the incident a “politically motivated intimidation” attempt. The party said it received no immediate “information on charges or alleged offences.”

Schedule 3, cited by the police, allows border officers to stop, question and detain individuals arriving in the country for the purpose of determining whether they have been engaged in “hostile activity” of any sort.

Following Galloway’s release, his party doubled down on its allegations, condemning the incident as an “attempt to intimidate those who seek amity rather than enmity with the rest of the world” for Britain.

“We were obstructed from providing legal support and the conduct of the affair has been designed to intimidate political opponents of the drive towards war with Russia and China,” the party said in a statement, promising to provide the “full account” of events tomorrow.

A veteran British politician and former RT show host, Galloway was an MP for nearly 30 years. He launched the Workers Party in 2019, and with a social-conservative platform, he won the 2024 Rochdale by-election. Just five months later he lost his seat to Labour in the general election, which he had been a member of for decades before the early 2000s.

Andrew Solender, Kate Santaliz

Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Steve Bannon are all named in copies of Jeffrey Epstein‘s daily schedules released Friday by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.

Why it matters: The schedules make reference to Musk possibly flying to an “island” in 2014, and Thiel and Bannon apparently dining with Epstein as recently as 2017 and 2019, respectively.

“It should be clear to every American that Jeffrey Epstein was friends with some of the most powerful and wealthiest men in the world,” Oversight Committee Democrats spokesperson Sara Guerrero said in a statement.“Every new document produced provides new information as we work to bring justice for the survivors and victims. Oversight Democrats will not stop until we identify everyone complicit in Epstein’s heinous crimes.”The documents do not link any of the men to criminal activity or misconduct.

Committee Democrats did not give Republicans advance notice before releasing the tranche, and the GOP side accused them of “cherry-picking” documents while concealing others that could implicate Democratic officials.

Spokespeople for Musk, Thiel and Bannon did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Epstein’s relationships with Bannon, Thiel and Musk have all been previously reported, but the documents have not.

State of play: The schedules come from a third tranche of documents turned over to the panel in response to its subpoena of the Epstein Estate in August.

The batch contains 8,544 documents, said Oversight Committee Democrats spokesperson Emily Kassner-Marks.The documents purport to show Epstein’s phone logs from 2002 to 2005, flight logs from his aircraft between 1990 and 2019, daily schedules from 2010 to 2019 and financial ledgers.

Zoom in: Musk, the billionaire owner of Tesla, SpaceX and X and an erstwhile ally of President Trump, is listed in a Dec. 6, 2014, entry reading, “Reminder: Elon Musk to island Dec. 6 (is this still happening?).”

A Nov. 27, 2017, entry lists a “12:00pm LUNCH w/Peter Thiel.” Thiel is a billionaire venture capitalist who has been a major donor to Republicans.An entry on Feb. 16, 2019 — just months before Epstein’s death — lists a “7:00am BREAKFAST w/Steve Bannon.” Bannon is a close Trump ally who served as a White House senior counselor during the president’s first term.One of the flight manifests from Epstein’s aircraft, dated May 12, 2000, references Prince Andrew as a passenger on a flight from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey to West Palm Beach, Florida, along with Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and several others.

The other side: “It’s unfortunate that Democrats continue to meaninglessly cherry-pick documents and politicize this investigation,” a spokesperson for the Oversight Committee’s Republicans told Axios.

“They are intentionally withholding documents that contain names of Democrat officials, and the information they released today is old news. We are focused on delivering transparency and accountability for the survivors, and will release documents in full.”

What’s next: A GOP Oversight aide told Axios the committee plans to release unredacted calendars, call logs and cash ledgers from Epstein’s estate once victims’ names are redacted.

Healing With DMSO

Healing with DMSO: The Complete Guide to Safe and Natural Treatment for Managing Pain, Inflammation and other chronic Ailment with Dimethyl Sulfoxide

By Amanda Vollmer

Ulysses Press (2020)

Book Review

DSMO is a naturally occurring substance (produced by soil bacteria and microscopic plankton) and plentiful byproduct of paper industry. It’s been used for injuries in Sport Medicine since the early 1960s. In many cases, it allows athletes with severe strains and sprains to return to the game. It was first discovered in 1866 by Russian doctor named Alexander M Sayzeff.

In the early sixties Dr Stanley Jacob at the Oregon Health and Science University Medical School discovered that highly purified DMSO could penetrate skin and organ membranes without harming them. The FDA has approved it for horses as a topical medication and for humans (via infusion into the bladder) for interstitial cystitis.

Most individuals with allergies to sulfa drugs, sulfites or food high in sulfur content experience no problems taking DMSO, as it contains no complex (sulfur-containing) protein for the body to react to.

There is only one DMSO-related death on record, an Irish woman who had an anaphylactic reaction after combining DMSO with antibiotics and anti-anxiety medication but continued taking it despite her negative reaction.

DMSO actions in humans, animals and plants (as confirmed by hundreds of thousands of studies):

Nervous system

Down’s Syndrome (by reducing accumulation of misfolded proteins)*Spinal cord injuriesPain (particularly when combined with peppermint)Dementia (particularly when combined with ginko balboa)Reverses strokesReverses traumatic brain injury

Collagen/skeletal disorders

Arthritis (when applied topically)Reduces surgical adhesions and improves scar healingHeals strains and sprains (particularly when combined with arnica)

Heart/Circulatory System

Repairs necrosis after heart attackHemorrhoids and varicose veinsMigraines (particularly when combined with peppermint)

Gastrointestinal

Heals ulcersInflammatory bowel diseaseDissolves gall stones

Kidneys – dissolves kidney stones

Skin

BurnsShinglesHair lossCold sores

Eyes/Ears (particularly when combined with castor oil) – applied topically

CataractsGlaucomaFloatersMacular degenerationTinnitus

Cancer – particularly when combined with D-hematoxylin, ivermectin and apricot kernels

General

Increases white cell production and improves immune functionReduces damage from ionizing radiationHeavy metal detoxKills microorganisms – particularly when combined with peroxide or chlorine dioxide

All of the treatments Vollmer recommend are topical, except for head trauma and ionizing radiation exposure. For head trauma she recommends drinking 1 tsp 99.9% DMSO in 5 ounces of distilled water or juice for 3-5 days after the injury combined with topical application of an 80% solution to the injury site.

For a head CAT scan or mammogram she recommends starting DMSO before the procedure (1 tsp 99.9% DMSO) in 5 ounces of water and continuing for seven days street. For a full body CAT scan or for self-protection for radiation technicians, nuclear power plant workers and flight crews she recommends drinking 1 oz 99.995% DMSO in 1 oz distilled water or juice twice a day and covering the body with 80% DMSO as soon as possible.

DMSO must never be combined with alcohol or prescribed medication (without consulting a doctor) or applied to dirty or tattooed or perfumed skin or to an eye containing a lens implant.

Other sources recommend an 80% topical solution applied to the skin and 6.25 – 40% solution as eye drops. For internal use they recommend 2-25 drops a day dissolved in distilled water or juice.

Vaccine Schedule Finally Under Fire

Zero Hedge

Well, Donald Trump did it. He scheduled a news conference on the science of autism, what we know and what we do not, and handled it masterfully. He is profoundly aware that as a parent and the president of the United States that he can make points that his own science advisors cannot make for reasons political, sociological, and scientific.

Trump, however, knows that expecting mothers and families still have to make decisions and those decisions could affect the health and well-being of their children for the rest of their lives. Nothing is more important. Meanwhile, autism is an epidemic. Something is causing this.

There is no such thing as a genetic epidemic. Nor is this traceable to changed definitions of the term else we would see a growing distribution among adults too, which we do not. FDA head Marty Makary, normally very cautious and careful in his statements, said the straightforward thing that no one has stated as clearly: autism is preventable.

Though Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Jay Bhattacharya, and Mehmet Oz were there and speaking, it was Trump who bravely took the burden upon himself to say what vast numbers of parents and doctors suspect and know but have heretofore occupied the realm of forbidden thought. He laid out two main culprits: Tylenol for birthing mothers and infants and the packed vaccine schedule that hits tiny babies with a cocktail of shots that have never been studied in their combined effects.

Trump was extremely clear.

Don’t take Tylenol. Also the schedule should be changed so that each shot is a separate vaccine spaced out over years. Further, some shots like HepB should wait until the age of 12 if they are taken at all. This would mean no more MMR, much less an MMRV shot that adds chickenpox to the soup. It would mean one shot for measles, one for mumps, one for rubella, and so on.

The products do not currently exist in that form. The whole trajectory has been to batch them up and this happened at the same time we’ve seen an explosion in autism cases. It is not a stretch at all to assume a connection. And Trump explained the stories of so many mothers, more than half, who report dramatic and immediate behavioral and cognitive changes following a vaccine.

These people have been gaslighted for 40 years. They have been called all sorts of terrible names. The scientists who have taken up their case have been shut out of academia, professional societies, journals, and been declared nonpersons. But they never relented. Trump has personally agreed with them for 20 years, a dating of his own. He and Kennedy have long had private discussions about it.

The entire field is a landmine filled with dangers both cultural and industrial. At some point, Trump realized that if anyone was going to break the logjam on this topic, it would need to be him. So he did it, and went much further than anyone—I mean anyone!—expected.

He noted the crazy additions to the schedule since 1980. The following shots have been added since then: HepB, Hib, PCV, RV, HepA, HPV, MenACWY, MenB, and COVID-19. This takes the doses from 12 to 35 and from 7 to 15 diseases. This is the gold rush kicked off by the liability shield put in place in 1986. Meanwhile, Trump referred, “certain groups that don’t take vaccines or pills and have no autism.” He turned to Kennedy who said quietly that some studies have concerned the Amish. Yes, said Trump, “the Amish. They have essentially no autism.”

Watching this in real time was something of a mind-blowing experience. These are all matters discussed in small groups and organizations of parents of autistic children. They have fought the manufacturers but with almost no success because of all the legal protections surrounding the companies.

From a broad perspective, the idea of vaccines is presumably to make us healthier. The opposite has happened. And that has given rise to a serious question of the complexities of human immunity. It’s fine to target a disease with an immunity inducement. We’ve been doing that for hundreds of years, with glorious successes surrounding smallpox in particular. But that success has also given rise to a reckless arrogance that imagined that the whole of the immune system could be replaced by laboratory gaming to outsmart the entire microbial kingdom.

The industry has become so large and powerful that it clearly exercises vast power over academia, scholarly publishing, government, and media through the power of advertising. The reach and influence of the vaccination industry became so vast that in March of 2020 it had enough pull to push 195 governments of the world to shut down economic activity until an antidote for COVID could be produced and distributed.

The problem should have been obvious to even a casual reader of the older literature. Immunity induction via a shot can have a sterilizing effect for stable pathogens like smallpox and measles.

It is a different matter for respiratory viruses that are forever mutating and adapting and also possess a zoonotic reservoir. If any mammal can carry the new strain, vaccinating is going to be like a game of Whack-A-Mole that never ends. Meanwhile, the vaccination itself can rewire the immune system to resist a deprecated strain while opening itself up to new vulnerabilities from unexpected places.

All of this could be known in advance, and was known. They went ahead anyway. Then there is the problem of a new technology called modified mRNA delivered through nanoparticles that control neither dosing nor distribution. These shots have been associated with what many experts say is unprecedented injury and death and yet the liability shields have prevented any litigation to collect damages.

When you look at this situation, it seems rather obvious that a time of truth-telling and accountability had to come one way or another. Trump remains very proud of Operation Warp Speed but deeply incredulous about the rest of the childhood schedule. His solution is in four points:

1) push HepB to year 12;

2) vaccinate against one disease at a time;

3) one shot per visit;

4) no mercury in shots.

Toby Rogers, the leading scholar of vaccines and autism, says these steps would end the epidemic.

If you have any doubt that he is correct to be skeptical of the existing schedule, I urge you to read a new book by attorney Aaron Siri with the title “Vaccines, Amen“. Of all the books I’ve read on this subject, this one is the most compelling and most overwhelmingly persuasive. It documents depositions, safety records, whether and to what extent these potions have really ever been subject to placebo-controlled trials, and the large literature that has been suppressed and deprecated. The book will amaze you, especially with its extensive documentation of how all the diseases against which we vaccinate were largely controlled before the product was ever released.

Let me end on a personal note, if I may. I have been writing on pandemic planning for 20 years. In all that time, I failed to see much less understand the role of the pharmaceutical industry as the hidden hand behind the scenes. When the COVID shots were released, I never believed that they would work in any normal sense in which we use this term but I had no awareness of dangers to health. I had never heard the term “anti-vaxer” until perhaps 2021 and certainly could not articulate a rationale for the view.

I never could have imagined that I would be watching and cheering a presidential press conference that essentially blew up the entire orthodoxy surrounding the childhood schedule. Clearly, the pandemic response of five years ago has opened up new ways of thinking. The mainstream media is already screaming like it is the end of the world. It is not. It is the beginning of the end of unquestioned pharmaceutical power.

Tony Blair vying to run Gaza

RT

Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair has proposed to lead a transitional administration in Gaza when Israel’s military campaign in the enclave ends, British media reported on Friday.

Blair is reportedly seeking to chair a body called the Gaza International Transitional Authority (GITA), which would oversee reconstruction and eventually transfer power to the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority (PA).

One of a dozen concepts proposed by various governments and think tanks, GITA would seek a UN mandate to be Gaza’s “supreme political and legal authority” for five years. If approved, Blair would have a secretariat of up to 25 people funded by Gulf states. The Economist described the plan “a distinct improvement” over US President Donald Trump’s earlier vision of an American-owned Gaza “riviera.”

According to the report, GITA would be initially headquartered in El-Arish, Egypt, and modeled on past transitional authorities in East Timor and Kosovo. Its mission would include unifying Gaza and the West Bank under the PA.

The Ramallah-based Palestinian body currently exercises only limited authority in the West Bank, where the Israeli military exerts dominant control – an arrangement critics have branded as an apartheid system. Israel has previously rejected any role for the PA in governing Gaza after the war.

The Financial Times said Washington presented fresh ideas for Gaza’s future during this week’s UN General Assembly meetings, including putting Blair on an international supervisory board. Several Arab states reportedly favored a committee of Palestinian technocrats instead.

Earlier this month, the Times of Israel detailed Blair’s lobbying efforts, including talks with Trump and a July meeting with PA President Mahmoud Abbas, noting that his plan requires “significant reforms” from the Palestinian Authority and offers it only limited involvement in Gaza.

Analysts remain skeptical that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would back GITA, given his reliance on right-wing ministers who are urging him to annex all Palestinian territory, including Gaza and the West Bank.

Trump: Gaza Deal Near

RT

The US president has struck an optimistic note after the Israeli PM vowed to eliminate Hamas in the Palestinian enclave

US President Donald Trump announced on Friday that a deal on ending the war in Gaza is close, but without providing any details.

His comments came just hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the UN General Assembly he would “finish the job” of eliminating Hamas in the enclave.

“I think we have maybe a deal on Gaza, and very close to a deal on Gaza, it’s looking like we have a deal,” Trump told reporters at the White House on Friday.

Trump and Netanyahu are planning to meet in Washington on Monday.

”I think it’s a deal that will get the hostages back. It’s going to be a deal that will end the war,” Trump added.

Earlier this week, Trump and senior US officials presented a 21-point peace plan to Arab and Islamic leaders, the president’s Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff said at the UNGA. The plan calls for a permanent ceasefire, the release of all hostages, new governance for Gaza without Hamas, and a phased Israeli withdrawal, according to media sources.”I think it addresses Israeli concerns and, as well, the concerns of all the neighbors in the in the region,” Witkoff said. “And we’re hopeful, and I might say, even confident, that in the coming days, we’ll be able to announce some sort of breakthrough.”

Trump’s position on the future of Gaza has not been consistent. In March, Trump said that “nobody is expelling any Palestinians” from the enclave, but later in May, he reiterated his desire for the US to take over the territory and “make it a freedom zone,” urging residents to leave.

However, ahead of Netanyahu’s UN speech on Friday, Trump said he would not allow the annexation of the occupied West Bank, rejecting calls from some far-right politicians in Israel who want to extend sovereignty over the area. “It’s not going to happen,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, adding: “There’s been enough. It’s time to stop now.”

Netanyahu signed a controversial West Bank settlement expansion plan this month.

By Barak Ravid and Dave Lawler

The vast majority of officials and diplomats in the UN General Assembly Hall appeared to walk out as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took the stage for his address on Friday.

Why it matters: Israel is deeply isolated internationally as it presses on with the war in Gaza. Outside of President Trump, Netanyahu — who faces war crime charges from the ICC — has very few allies on the global stage.

Driving the news: Netanyahu said in his speech that Israel “will finish the job” in Gaza, and will do so as quickly as possible

Ahead of the speech, he ordered Israel’s military to position loudspeakers around the Gaza Strip to broadcast his words to the Palestinians in Gaza.He also said Israeli intelligence had taken over the phones of people across Gaza to livestream the speech.Netanyahu called on Hamas leaders to surrender, lay down their weapons and release the hostages.

Zoom in: Nearly all representatives from Arab and Muslim countries appeared to walk out, along with counterparts from several African countries and a few European countries.

State of play: The Trump administration denied Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas a visa to address the UN, but the General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to allow him to speak remotely.

He insisted in his speech on Thursday that Palestinians would never leave Gaza despite all they had suffered.UN week began with 10 countries, including France, the U.K. and Canada, recognizing a Palestinian state.

Trump says he won’t allow Israel to annex West Bank

US President Donald Trump said Thursday that he will not allow Israel to annex the occupied West Bank, drawing a rare red line over Israel’s actions in the Palestinian territory.

Trump’s comments came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in New York for the United Nations General Assembly Wednesday and to meet with the president.

“I will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank. Nope, I will not allow it. It’s not going to happen,” Trump said in the Oval Office, acknowledging that he had spoken to Netanyahu earlier in the day on the topic.

“It’s been enough. It’s time to stop now,” he added.

His remarks signal an alignment with many Western and Arab nations, which have warned that any Israeli annexation of the territory would effectively kill the idea of a Palestinian state. The Trump administration has become increasingly isolated internationally, including among key allies, over the possibility of establishing a Palestinian state and in its defense of Israel’s destruction of Gaza, which has been described as genocide by an independent United Nations inquiry.

Trump’s declaration also came after his administration on Tuesday proposed to Arab leaders a 21-point plan to end the war in Gaza, which led to an exchange of ideas among the leaders over how to agree on a final proposal that could potentially bring an end to the conflict, according to a senior administration official and regional sources familiar with the matter.

The plan that the US proposed included a number of points that the administration has made publicly, including the release of all Israeli hostages held by Hamas, and a permanent ceasefire, according to a separate source briefed on the matter. It also outlined a framework for how Gaza can be governed without Hamas and included a proposal for Israel to gradually withdraw from the enclave, the source said.

While regional leaders endorsed large parts of Trump’s plan, they made a series of points that they wanted to be included in any final plan for Gaza, including no annexation of the West Bank by Israel, a regional diplomat told CNN. Other requests included maintaining the status quo for Jerusalem, ending the war in Gaza and bringing back all the hostages, increased humanitarian aid to Gaza and addressing Israel’s illegal settlements, the diplomat said.

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, who attended the meeting with Trump, told reporters on Thursday that he believes the president understands “very well the risks and dangers of annexation in the West Bank.”

“What I can say about the meeting with President Trump, which I think was a very important meeting, is that the Arab and Muslim countries made very clear to the president the danger of annexation of any type in the West Bank,” he said, adding that annexation poses risks not just to “the potential of peace in Gaza, but also to any sustainable peace at all.”

Israel intensifies West Bank operations

The West Bank, which lies west of the Jordan River between Israel and Jordan, has been occupied by the Israeli military since 1967 and is home to more than 3.3 million Palestinians.

The Israeli government has discussed the possibility of annexing all or part of the territory, and far-right ministers have pushed for a complete annexation. Israel has built more roadblocks and installed dozens of iron gates across the territory, making movement difficult inside.

Since the Hamas-led attacks of October 7, 2023, the Israeli military has intensified operations across the West Bank, targeting Palestinian militant cells, imposing checkpoints, and cutting communities off from the outside world.

There has also been an escalation in Israeli settler attacks and land grabs in the territory. On Monday, Netanyahu said his country has “doubled Jewish settlements” in the West Bank – considered illegal under international law – and “will continue on this path.”

This week, Israel made the sudden decision to indefinitely close the sole land crossing between the West Bank and Jordan, the main route to exit the territory – and to access international travel – without having to enter Israel.

As Israel mulls annexation, its forces have pushed deeper into Gaza City, with geolocated images from Tuesday showing tanks now in the west of the territory’s largest city, in an area known as Beach Camp. Hundreds of thousands of people remain in the city, unable or unwilling to move south as ordered by the Israeli military.

Annexation would ‘end’ Abraham Accords

French President Emmanuel Macron foreshadowed Trump’s stance on Wednesday, telling French media that annexation of the West Bank would be a “red line” for the United States and would mark the end of the Abraham Accords.

From his conversation with Trump earlier in the week, Macron said the US president was clear that “Europeans and Americans are on the same page” on the topic.

“It would also be the end of the Abraham Accords, which was one of the success stories from Trump’s first administration. The United Arab Emirates were very clear on it and I think it’s a red line for the USA,” Macron said in an interview with France24.

The UAE was the main signatory of the landmark 2020 Abraham Accords agreement, under which Israel normalized relations with three Arab nations. The nation has since said Israeli annexation of the West Bank would be a “red line” that would “end the pursuit of regional integration.”

Netanyahu this month signed a controversial West Bank settlement expansion plan, including E1, a project to build thousands of new homes that would effectively cut the West Bank in two.

The E1 plan had been frozen for decades in the face of international opposition, since it would make a contiguous Palestinian state with a capital in East Jerusalem virtually impossible.

The plan to develop E1 was approved last month, with far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich saying it had “erased” the idea of a Palestinian state. Smotrich presented the move as Israel’s response to the recent wave of countries announcing their intention to recognize a Palestinian state.

Netanyahu has not said publicly what he intends to do, but in a video statement on Sunday evening he said that Israel’s response would come after his meeting with Trump in New York.

US Business Community Demands End to Anti-Russian Sanctions, “Resumption of Mutually Beneficial Trade with Moscow

By Lucas Leiroz de Almeida
September 22, 2025

The US business community is beginning to demand that the US government review its sanctions policy against Russia. American businesses are interested in regaining their share of the lucrative Russian market, which is why they are demanding a ban on all illegal coercive measures imposed during the Joe Biden administration.

Robert Agee, president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Russia, stated in a recent interview that the end – or at least the suspension – of sanctions is a fundamental condition for the return of American companies to Russia. He made it clear that American businesses are unhappy with the current restrictions, especially regarding the ban on investment in Russia.

Agee confirmed that the American business lobby is in favor of resuming mutually beneficial trade ties with Moscow. To achieve this, it is necessary to revoke the 2022 executive order signed by then-President Joe Biden prohibiting American citizens and companies from investing in businesses on Russian soil. While almost all sanctions are circumventable in some way, the investment ban is a more serious problem for Americans, as it is difficult for them to conceal their investments dealings abroad – and they obviously do not want to become illegal within their own country.

“The first, maybe the most necessary thing to cancel, is the investment ban. It greatly hinders not only companies that would like to return, but also those that remained,” he said.

Agee also commented on some other problems in current bilateral economic relations. The lack of an efficient banking system for money transfers is an issue that still significantly hinders Russian-American trade. Russia’s expulsion from SWIFT in response to the special military operation was met by Moscow with de-dollarization measures, which Washington obviously doesn’t tolerate. At the same time, SWIFT is based in Belgium and falls under EU, not US, jurisdiction – which significantly complicates negotiations, as European countries are reluctant to resume diplomacy with Russia.

One alternative would be for the US to engage in a banking system project directly with Russia, but this would only be possible by establishing fair monetary conditions, respecting Russia’s interest in reducing dependence on the dollar. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that US authorities would agree to participate in such a project.

Despite these concerns, Agee emphasized that American companies are eager to return to Russia. US investors see Russia as a promising market with significant profitable business opportunities. As one of the world’s main economies, with a large emerging middle class and increasingly high purchasing power, as well as an extremely strong industrial and infrastructure base, Russia appears to be an ideal investment destination for many Americans, who are prevented from pursuing their plans due to the unfair list of sanctions and restrictions imposed by the previous administration.

Even so, Agee believes there is now a more positive prospect on this issue. He asserts that dialogue is possible and that the US is willing to resume some partnerships with the Russians. It’s worth remembering that Trump previously stated that he believed in the possibility of a full restoration of relations. Similarly, US Vice President J.D. Vance has already stated that he opposes attempts to “isolate” Russia and supports the resumption of productive bilateral relations. If this type of more diplomatic mindset becomes the majority among authorities, there will certainly be some changes in the near future.

In fact, it’s possible that Trump, being a businessman himself, has a genuine interest in ending the restrictive measures. More than that, he serves the interests of many representatives of the business lobby who want to return to making money in the Russian market. However, his position is delicate, as he needs to please different groups in the country – including those pro-war elites interested in damaging the entire economy just to favor the defense sector and promote NATO’s globalist agendas. Trump apparently fears criticism or persecution if he engages too deeply into ties with Russia, which is why the situation is taking so long to change.

However, if Trump wants to maintain his popularity, he will need to fulfill his previous promises – which included normalization with Russia and diplomacy for peace. Resuming trade ties is an important step toward any diplomatic restoration, so Trump will definitely need to work toward that. In fact, not everything depends on him. Returning to SWIFT depends on cooperation with the Europeans, for example. But this is not a priority, as it is possible to create alternative payment mechanisms. The main thing to do is simply lift the investment ban. If Trump can do this soon, he will be achieving a major political victory.

Japan Confirms Over 600,000 Citizens Killed by COVID ‘Vaccines’

By Frank BergmanSeptember 23, 2025 

Chilling news is emerging from Japan as the nation’s leading experts have uncovered explosive evidence linking skyrocketing excess deaths to Covid mRNA “vaccines.”

A grassroots coalition, United Citizens for Stopping mRNA Vaccines, has forced the release of official vaccination records for 21 million Japanese citizens through a series of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.

The records include vaccination dates, batch numbers, and post-vaccine death reports.

The results are devastating.

Professor Murakami of Tokyo Science University, a respected scientist, analyzed the data and uncovered a consistent, alarming pattern:

   • A surge in deaths occurred 90–120 days after injection.

   • Those who received multiple doses saw earlier and steeper death spikes, suggesting cumulative toxicity.

   • Murakami estimates that 600,000–610,000 Japanese citizens have been killed by the “vaccines.”

This figure is eerily consistent with Japan’s excess death statistics.

Because these deaths typically happen months after the jab, doctors rarely connect them to the shots, allowing health officials to hide the carnage in plain sight.

The United Citizens coalition revealed the shocking findings during a press conference, blasting government health bureaucrats for ignoring the mounting evidence.

By dragging out timelines and obscuring cause-of-death data, the medical establishment has been able to wave away vaccine-linked fatalities while excess mortality soars to unprecedented levels.

Murakami’s findings confirm what independent researchers have long warned: the danger isn’t just immediate adverse events, it’s the delayed, cumulative damage silently eroding public health months after the shots.

The findings come as the pharmaceutical industry pushes forward with its latest self-replicating mRNA shot, or “replicon vaccine.”

Meanwhile, Japan’s public has clearly had enough.

Despite the rollout of 4.2 million doses last October, fewer than 10,000 were administered.

That’s a microscopic 0.24% uptake rate, signaling a total collapse in public trust.

In fact, over 100,000 Japanese citizens have signed petitions demanding an immediate halt to all mRNA “vaccine” programs.

According to reports, the replicon injection by Meiji Seika Pharma has shown even higher rates of adverse reactions and deaths than the original Pfizer and Moderna products.

The backlash has gotten so intense that the pharmaceutical giant has launched a lawsuit against Congressman Kazuhiro Haraguchi and others who dared to speak out.

Haraguchi, a vocal critic of the program, revealed he developed lymphoma following vaccination, with spike proteins found in his lymphatic tissue.

Meanwhile, Japan’s health authorities have failed to address the 90–120-day death spike now evident in one of the most extensive datasets ever released.

The silence is deafening, and the implications are global.

This 21-million-record release isn’t some Internet rumor.

It’s a forensic blueprint exposing what may be the most dangerous mass medical experiment in history.

The citizen-led group, boasting 70,000 supporters and 3,000 active volunteers, is now pushing for global collaboration to stop the next wave of mRNA experimentation, including an mRNA-based flu shot slated for fall 2025.

The group’s vaccine database is being translated into English and will soon be open to researchers worldwide.

In a time when governments refuse to investigate or even acknowledge what’s happening, it’s up to citizen scientists and brave whistleblowers to expose the truth.

Japan’s warning to the world is clear: the spike in post-vaccine deaths is real, the rollout of next-gen experimental vaccines must stop, and those responsible for suppressing the truth must be held accountable.

The release of these records represents one of the largest real-world datasets ever exposed.

It’s now clear that the official narrative of “safe and effective” cannot survive serious scrutiny.

Japan’s public health crisis is finally coming into focus.

The data confirms that far from saving lives, the mRNA program may have caused one of the greatest public health disasters in modern history.
