🎙 Comment by Aide to the President of Russia Yury Ushakov following Vladimir Putin’s meeting with Special Envoy of the US President Steven Witkoff (October 21, 2026)

💬 Yury Ushakov: As always, today’s discussion was substantive and frank, lasting almost three hours.

Following up on Vladimir Putin’s telephone conversation with Donald Trump on October 9, the exchange of views continued on ways to achieve a lasting and sustainable peace.

Russia's President praised the mediation efforts of the US Administration, Donald Trump personally and his special envoys to find mutually acceptable solutions.

☝️ It is important to note that the possible resumption of trilateral talks involving representatives of Russia, the US and Ukraine was discussed in specific terms.

As you know, the Ukrainian regime itself thwarted their planned resumption immediately after the State Duma elections by launching massive strikes on the main voting day against Moscow, other cities, polling stations and election commission staff directly, some of whom were killed.

The situation was reviewed again, taking into account, among other things, the signals received from the Americans.

Our President informed Steve Witkoff that we are, in principle, ready to resume these trilateral talks between November 10 and 19, focusing on 👉 the central issue: building a security framework for Russia and Ukraine after the conflict ends. The American representative said that President Trump would undoubtedly welcome this decision with great satisfaction.

Vladimir Putin asked Steve Witkoff to convey his gratitude to US First Lady Melania Trump for her humanitarian efforts, particularly in reuniting children with their families, as well as for her mediation in resolving the grave humanitarian situation in the Russian town of Alyoshki in the Kherson Region.

There was also an exchange of views on the situation in the Middle East, primarily, of course, developments surrounding Iran. Russia reaffirmed its readiness to continue helping to find political and diplomatic ways to resolve the Iranian issue.

🇷🇺🇨🇳🇺🇸 Naturally, today’s discussion also touched on a matter attracting considerable attention worldwide: the possible first-ever meeting of the leaders of Russia, China and the US during the APEC Summit in Shenzhen, China, this November. None of the three capitals – Moscow, Washington or Beijing – has rejected this idea.

Our Chinese friends, as hosts of the APEC Summit, are already undertaking preparations for it. If circumstances are favourable, they will, of course, include this meeting in the programme of events in Shenzhen.

We put forward several practical suggestions regarding the substance of the possible trilateral talks.

Folic acid

Think the obesity epidemic is just a moral failure of "sloth and gluttony"?

Think again.

They told us for 50 years to "Eat less, move more".

But since the 1970s that's never been a fair fight:

In a 2016 study by the University of Alberta, scientists showed that folic acid acts as a direct molecular accelerant for visceral fat accumulation.

A peer-reviewed study demonstrating a direct, causal cellular mechanism where a synthetic food additive disrupts mammalian energy routing, expands visceral fat cells, and triggers systemic insulin resistance is a massive public health safety signal.

In honest science, when a hazard flag that big is raised, the rule is immediate reproduction, verification, and follow-up trials.

But the establishment didn't follow it up.

The line of inquiry was completely ignored. Why? Because proving a multi-billion-pound global food fortification program is actively driving the metabolic syndrome crisis strangely isn't of interest.

So until someone actually steps up and runs the human trials they are terrified to look at, the 2016 Alberta study remains the literal cutting edge of mammalian pre-clinical data on this mechanism. It stands entirely unrefuted.

Here is that study:

🎙 Excerpt from Russian MFA Spox Maria Zakharova's weekly briefing (Moscow, 21 October 2026)

❓ Question: Recently, British General Roland Walker stated that British citizens must be prepared to make sacrifices for a possible war. Do you think such statements are used to put pressure on European governments and accelerate the militarisation of Europe?

💬 Maria Zakharova: We are closely monitoring statements by British officials engaged in provocative actions and disinformation campaign, since these constitute the bulk of their activity in relation to Russia.

There is no cooperation or constructive engagement here, but rather provocation, the stoking of international tensions and the frightening of their own population with cheap anti-Russian myths – or perhaps not so cheap, given that funds are needed to peddle such tales [...]

Realists and those genuinely involved in strategic affairs understand that a direct confrontation with Russia would spell certain destruction for anyone seeking to embark on such reckless adventures.

It is clear that the narratives employed by British military figures, such as General Walker, are used to justify the reckless militarisation of society and to channel vast sums of money into the UK defence industry. This is done entirely at the expense of the British population.

The genuine interests of the British people are simply being sacrificed to those of defence industry lobbyists, who are pushing for an unchecked increase in military spending without limits.

It works to the advantage of those who have made political and economic mistakes and are unable or unwilling to explain themselves to the public, instead resorting to such information campaigns.

It is the "budget" (theft operation) Weds this week, and John Healey will announce that HMRC will get powers to seize money directly from the bank accounts of people

Not only has HMRC failed its own audits for 20 years in a row, (due to material fraud and error), but this dystopian overreach will not touch the wealthy and will only affect average people

HMRC are not the police. They are not a judge. They have no true lawful power to enter your bank account, (which is your property), just like they have no general power to enter purely private dwellings at will, force doors, or search, without proper lengthy due process

This change to be announced will allow HMRC to take automated instalment deductions, and possibly include the ability to automatically deduct fines/interest

Can you imagine trying to get your money back when they make a mistake?

HMRC is an executive agency and this IS administrative law that sidesteps full due-process protections that apply when the State decides it wants to enter your home and seize (steal) your goods. We have due process for a reason in this regard

Arbitrary executive power without a proper court hearing. Star Chamber. Again. Despite it's "abolition" in the 1640s, Bill of Rights 1689, natural justice principles, etc

I once wrote on a wall 'Clapton is God'

I spent most of my life believing that Eric Clapton was the all-time greatest guitar player, but maybe Mark Knopfler trumps him?
