Prepare For The Storm
Global Tensions Rise: Ukraine, Corporate Backlash, and the Power of the People
Two weeks. That's how long I was in China and in that short time the United States of America fell from grace because we have a Mad King hell bent on serving himself at the expense of you.
His enablers, the oligarchs, are busy carving us up into groups they can exploit after the Mad King dies from a heart attack. But guess what? There's more of us than there is of them. We can fight back and it starts now.
Here's a short newsletter to tide you all over till I get back to the States.
Slava Ukraine
I watched this live meeting unfold between Mad King Trump, JD Vance, and President Zelensky in China. I couldn't believe my eyes on how this brave and noble man was treated by Trump and Vance. I'm glad he walked out and the rest of the world is reacting.
European Leaders held a summit with President Zelensky and pledged their support to Ukraine, and rightfully so. They've all had entanglements with the Russian Bear over their years and are worried.
Sunday's summit of European leaders in London, hosted by the prime minister and attended by President Zelensky, was already shaping up to be crucial. It has now taken on further importance.
Yes, if Ukraine falls to Russia then the Baltic States and Poland are next. We are on the precipice of World War III, not because of Ukraine but because of Russia and the United States.
Return to the office - you pleb
I was incredibly sad to read this bit of news coming out of California. It appears that Governor Newsom is onboard with RTO mandates and is ordering government staff back to the office.
Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Monday announcement that state employees would be back in offices four days a week, starting this summer, caught many off guard — but surprised few.
This reminds me of what my father used to say about politicians (translated from German), "If you take all the politicians and put them in a sack, then hit the sack with a stick, you hit the right one every time."
Hit'em in the wallet
Tesla sales are down and the stock is plummeting. Good job everybody! Nationwide boycotts are going on at retailers and businesses that dropped DEI for whatever reason they want to claim. Target is seeing a major backlash after it retreated from DEI.
Nathaniel Meyersohn
Target was a leading advocate for DEI programs in the business world in the years after George Floyd was murdered by police in the company’s home city of Minneapolis in 2020. Target also spent years building a public reputation as a progressive employer on LGBTQ issues. The company publicly supported gay marriage in 2014 before it was legalized nationwide, and it was one of the first national retailers to allow transgender employees and customers to choose bathrooms corresponding to their gender identities.
I was a frequent shopper at Target but not anymore. While foot traffic dropped 4% after they announced rescinding DEI policies, it remains to be seen just how much this hurts their bottom line.
Keep this up people, they might not listen to you individually, but they do when all of us keep our wallets and purses closed.
I want to give a huge thanks to our new Sentinel subscribers, you're helping keep the lights on here and we all greatly appreciate you.
