๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿค๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธTurkey is run by Atlanticists and NATO lovers.

The Gang of Five, as they are called in Turkey, is closely linked to the AKP (Justice and Development Party) and Erdogan, which has given them great power to influence political and economic decisions.

They are the driving force between pro-NATO and pro-EU politics in Turkey.

But, who exactly is the Gang of Five?

๐Ÿ”ธMehmet Nafฤฑz Gรผnal (President of MAPA)
๐Ÿ”ธNihat ร–zdemir (President of LฤฐMAK)
๐Ÿ”ธฤฐnศ™aat Mehmet Cengiz (President of CENGฤฐZ)
๐Ÿ”ธCemal Kalyoncu (President of KALYON)
๐Ÿ”ธNaci KoloฤŸlu (President of KOLฤฐN)

A report by the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) points out that the government has issued $9B (330.5B liras) worth of tenders, excluding those below $2M (100M liras), and that 50% of those tenders were won by the same 20 companies in the last five years. Among those tenders, 24% were won by 'the gang of five'.

๐Ÿšจ๐ŸŸจ๐Ÿ’ต Can Gold Replace the US Dollar?

The US dollarโ€™s days as the global reserve currency are numbered due to blowback from Western sanctions against Russia, Peter Schiff told #NewRulesPodcast.

โ€œWe told the world get rid of dollars and buy gold, and that's exactly what they've been doing. That's why the price of gold is at an all-time record high. Gold is on pace for its best year since 1979. That is not a coincidence,โ€ he said.

Trump's recent tariff threats have pushed gold prices to record highs, with gold breaking above $2,900 per ounce for the first time.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ›ข๐Ÿญ By contrast, the most valuable Russian companies are Sberbank (financial technology) and natural resource producers (oil, gas, gold, steel, agriculture). In other words, REAL ECONOMIC ASSETS.

โœ๏ธ Keep this in mind when you read statistics that claim that Europeโ€™s economy is larger and better than Russiaโ€™s.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Where in the world is Keith Kellogg?

By now most of you have probably read Trumpโ€™s statement about his phone call with Putin.

Thereโ€™s one detail you should pay attention to. Hereโ€™s the US negotiating team per Trumpโ€™s statement: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, CIA director John Ratcliffe, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, and US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff. Conspicuously missing โ€” Keith Kellogg, who is supposedly Trumpโ€™s Special Envoy on Ukraine.

Another strange detail: Witkoff, not Kellogg, was the first Trump official to visit Moscow.

Has Kellogg been exiled/marginalized for his neocon views?

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿช–Both Trump & Putin want a peace deal, but Zelensky is hellbent on FIGHTING TO THE LAST UKRAINIAN

The war has turned Zelensky into a power-hungry dictator with enormous wealth. He has banned opposition media outlets, political parties, & Ukraineโ€™s largest religious denomination

Now, Zelenskyโ€™s presidential term expired back in May 2024, but he has illegally clung onto power. But once the war is over, Zelensky will lose the pretext for postponing elections. The polls suggest that he would likely be defeated by former General Valery Zaluzhny

What if Zelensky loses the election?

๐Ÿ”ธHis dictatorial powers & the ability to unlawfully enrich himself would vanish
๐Ÿ”ธThe new Ukrainian government would jail him
๐Ÿ”ธNumerous members of Ukraine's elite seek retribution against him for his attempts to incarcerate & seize their assets

Thatโ€™s why he will publicly support Trumpโ€™s peace initiatives, while working behind the scenes to sabotage him every step of the way

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธUkraine CEASEFIRE agreement between PUTIN and TRUMP, but what about the ARCTIC?

Trump has confirmed that he has had a phone call with Putin in which they discussed a ceasefire in Ukraine, but the Orange Man is simultaneously looking to open a new proxy war front against Russia.

The melting of Arctic has created massive new trade opportunities for Russia โ€” namely the Northern Sea Route.

But it also creates new security threats. Northern Russia is no longer protected by a โ€œwall of ice.โ€

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ฑThis is where Trumpโ€™s plans to annex Canada and Greenland come in. If he succeeds, the US will be able to open a new front against Russia.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ“‰๐Ÿ“ŠFinance capitalism is DESTROYING the US economy

The US has lost the initiative in research investment. Chinese technology has decisively overtaken it and the future does not look good.

All signs are that US businesses will have to undergo a paradigm shift from financial to industrial capitalism thanks to President Donald Trump's policies.

But it is uncertain whether US industry will be able to get all the resources it needs, given Trumpโ€™s newly-imposed tariffs on imports from key US trading partners.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Trump BEGS Russia to rejoin G7 โ€” BRICS is the reason why

โ€œI would love to have Russia back in the G7. It was a mistake to kick Russia out,โ€ he told reporters in the Oval Office.

Donโ€™t brush this off as a random statement. Unlike Biden, Trump and the people around him are DEEPLY CONCERNED about BRICS+. They know it has the potential to crack US financial hegemony.

BRICS is bigger than just de-dollarization and alternative payment systems.

BRICS is the nucleus of an alternative revolutionary ideology that challenges the very core of Western hegemony.

๐ŸŒŽ๐Ÿšซ PREDICTION: US Will Sabotage BRICS Expansion in Latin America in 2025

โ€ผ๏ธThe US still views Latin America as its exclusive sphere of influence, and it will weaponize its extensive influence network on the continent to undermine BRICS expansion plans.

It is clear that the Trump 2.0 administration will do everything possible to sabotage BRICS plans in Latin America with the help of Marco Rubio.

Associated countries with the BRICS, such as Bolivia and Cuba, will be a key target for the United States.

On the heels the friction between President Petro & Trump, Colombia will also be a prominent target for the US.

Venezuela & Nicaragua who hope to join BRICS in the future, despite the veto of Brazil's President Luiz Inรกcio Lula da Silva, are also on Trump's hitlist.

Brazil is the BRICS chairman for the region in 2025. Lula already finds himself in Trump & Musk's crossfire, so if he tries to make any moves to strengthen BRICS, the US will go after him like crazy.

Trust in the US dollar was destroyed by the U.S. itself, which is why countries are looking for a sovereign way to escape the dollar dictatorship.

Russian businessman and former political prisoner, Viktor Bout, explained the reasons.

If Trump follows through on his threats, this will only supercharge BRICS' efforts to develop SWIFT and US dollar alternatives.

The BRICS already have several cross-border payment projects underway such as the interconnection of payment systems between Russia, Iran and China, the BRICS pay card and the BRICS bridge.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐ŸฆNo, the Chinese economy won't collapse

Western media has spent years hyping up China's real estate bubble. But here's what they don't tell you:

๐Ÿ”ธMarket stabilization efforts: The Chinese government has been reducing mortgage rates and relaxing purchase restrictions.

๐Ÿ”ธSales rates: While primary sales have been declining, secondary home sales are increasing, this will help stabilize the market by mid-2025.

๐Ÿ”ธPrice fluctuations: Home prices have shown disparate trends in different cities. In first-tier cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai, new home prices have seen slight increases, but across the country overall price corrections continue.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ฑTrump in PANIC MODE over China's business deals in the Arctic

One of the main reasons Trump wants to annex Greenland is to stop Chinese extractions in Greenland and keep them out of the Arctic.

China has been immersed in the Danish government's Zink and Rare Earth Elements (REE) extraction projects since 2018, for example:

๐Ÿ”ธCitronen Fjord zinc project in North Greenland and the Kvanefjeld (Kuannersuit).
๐Ÿ”ธRare earth elements (REE)-uranium project in South Greenland.
๐Ÿ”ธThe Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which also includes plans to establish an โ€œIce Silk Roadโ€.

Currently the U.S. government has already pressured Danish suppliers of REE to stop selling to China.
