The "Board of Peace" is a bit of a misnomer..

Its a group intended to oversee the reconstruction of Gaza.. it initially had a singular mission, not a global one.. (although now they are already expanding their aperture and talking about global "peace")..

and.. since Israel is on board with the idea.. any other nation that is not on board is essentially cutting themselves out of any business interest surrounding the reconstruction effort in Gaza..

this isnt about peace at all..

its about money...

and look at who the Executive Board is...

Marco Rubio - US SECSTATE
Steve Witkoff - US Special Envoy to the M.E.
Jared Kushner - Trumps son in law
Tony Blair - UK former PM
Marc Rowan - US billionaire - CEO of $785B hedge fund. Wharton Grad. Long time personal friend of Trump.
Ajay Banga - World Bank President - US/India dual national. Former CEO of Master Card. (important to remember the President of the World Bank is appointed by the US President)
Robert Gabriel - US National - former Deputy National Security Advisor


All US nationals with the exception of Tony Blair, who was always super US friendly.. and NONE of them have any experience in reconstruction... they all however have EXTENSIVE experience in business, money making, and politics..

The US will control this "board" (not a bunch of developing nations like we see at the UN).. and this board will control what COMPANIES get involved in nation building post conflicts..

Hair brained idea? maybe...

Build on hubris and ego? probably...

but.. at least where Gaza is concerned (where they are first headed)... you wont be seeing France, Germany, or anyone else thats opting out 1) having any influence or 2) making any money..

Yup, the DoD guys were as bad or worse than the AF SP's. I can't count the number of times I've seen them drop their sidearm or M16. They really needed 3 hands!

I was kinda afraid if I yelled anything, that he'd shoot himself in the foot!

We had contract security, they were really good, and professional. A lot came from within the organization, when they retired, so they stayed in the family.

Same experience here. The SP personnel on air bases, all in all, similar to the MPs. I noticed also the quality and professionalism of the units were reflective of that of their command. The DoD security personnel?? I won’t say more. Also, some in the OSI units on air bases were uh… different or spooky and didn’t seem to operate through normal channels nor chains of command.

As part of the Epstein files being posted, his last interview came out as well. He was being interviewed at length by Steve Bannon.

I had the pleasure of working in financial services on and off for 35 years. I've met morons, I've met geniuses. My observation by hanging on Epstein's every word is that he knew very little about finances. More specifically, I'm more confident than ever that he and his handlers were running a honeypot or influence peddling, because the world certainly wasn't getting financial brilliance from this man's mouth. Worth a listen, judge for yourself.

When you stack all the information, investigations, prosecutions and lack of prosecutions. Political, business and entertainment Circles. The most logical explanation on why both Democrat and Republican administrations continue to obfuscate the truth , delay, make excuses. Is the fact that who ever he worked for got what they needed from the bees he caught in the honeypot.

It makes more sense that he was working as a foreign agent. Looking at who was caught in the trap.


No other explanation is logical.

Trump’s treatment of South Korea is reprehensible. I have done pretty extensive business in the country and they are exceptional partners, not to mention exceedingly conservative. Why Trump is seeking to make them an adversary is beyond me.

If my wife were more amiable to it, I would be selling my properties in the UK. I just wish Reform were a more reliable party. But alas, I doubt there is much hope to saving the UK.

This might be a bit controversial, but I think all of the individuals mentioned will be of great value and I cannot find much reason to complain. But as you pointed out, “peace” is rather secondary here all things considered.

I’ve found the South Koreans to be exceptional military partners, reliable and honest business partners, and generally good people overall…. And I agree.. as a rule they are very traditionally conservative both fiscally and socially…

I don’t get it either…

Seeing unconfirmed reports on YouTube both carney and Trudeau mentioned numerous times in the newly released Epstein files, anyone got a credible source to confirm or disprove this?

 

[JimP]

There's a Epstein files website where you can do some digging .

 

[Daryl S]

Credible pictures only with Carney and Ghislaine Maxwell at a party of Epstein's. Mentioned multiple times. Moose On The Loose, David did a burb on it, mentioning some other pictures on the web with Carney are phony. He didnt mention the child Trudeau.

What about a "?" emoji for when you are confused or don't understand

Have to be careful with that one. With some of these posts, we'd end up with a page and a half of "?"

I believe it, I never understood why some people think that just because a person is a (insert military/LEO) that they are competent with various weapons.

From a hunting/shooting standpoint I can honestly say that the worst firearm handling I’ve seen in the field were from military/LEO people.

During my 25 year LE career in CA working with 1700-1800 sworn deputies, just off the top of my head, one shot himself through the calf while holstering his duty pistol and at least a dozen negligence discharges by other deputies involving property damage at worst thankfully.

Regarding the dumbfuckery negligence by civilians involving firearms, discounting homicides, robberies, ADW, etc. that were dispatched calls for service, well that would be impossible to count.

I think whenever humans are handling weapons there is always the possibility of negligence including law enforcement and military personnel, who typically handle weapons more often and under much more stressful situations than civilians.

Without knowing the background, firearms knowledge and training of these individuals mentioned it’s hard to make an assessment. I’m simply watchful around anyone I’m not familiar with during their handling of a firearm and do not take it for granted that they know how to handle their weapon safely at all times.
