PEACE WITH RUSSIA—WAR WITH IRAN

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday the 4^th day of April in the year of our Lord 2025. I will be talking about efforts to end the war in Ukraine as well as a recent New York Times article which attempts to explain the war against Russia. I will also talk a little about the apparent military buildup in the Middle East for a coming US attack against Iran and its Nuclear Research Facilities.

Last Sunday, March 30, 2025, the New York Times published an extensive article by investigative reporter Adam Entous entitled “The Partnership: The Secret History of the War in Ukraine.” Mr. Entous claims to have interviewed many sources in various countries while working on the report which he says took over a year to complete. His report provides some answers to the question of how Ukraine was able to effectively keep Russia at bay and on the defensive for over three years.

You know my position by now that the Times has become nothing more than a mouthpiece for the Democrat Party so this article which started a year before the presidential election is puzzling. I suppose the idea is that it can’t hurt Biden now so why not publish and reveal what many of us have suspected all along. I certainly suspected it but I admit that I didn’t suspect the extent of US involvement alleged by the Times article. Mr. Entous would have had to talk to and probably clear his article through some very high-ranking individuals and the Russians were certain to see it right at the time when negotiations with Putin are at a critical stage.

The article then, is an admission to Putin of America’s vast involvement in and orchestration of the war conducted by the United States directly against nuclear armed Russia. “The United States was woven into the killing of Russian soldiers on sovereign Russian soil.” The article alleges that the United Staes waged and is still waging an undeclared, unauthorized war against Russia. American officers, some deployed inside Ukraine, have been selecting targets for attack and authorizing individual strikes, making those officers in essence combatants.

The article presents a picture of the war in which the American military, entered into an informal partnership with the Ukrainian Government and the US planned everything Ukraine did. Everything from large scale troop movements to every long-range strike were planned by American officers who even directed Ukraine’s counter-offensives. The Americans decided what Russian troops and civilian targets to attack, transmitted targeting data and launch codes to the Ukrainians for the weapons provided by the taxpayers of the United States.

The intelligence gathering system was vast including satellite surveillance as well as people on the ground, and it allowed for everything from big picture battle strategy down to precise targeting information for individual soldiers on the field. The US command center in Wiesbaden, Germany oversaw and reviewed each long-range HIMARS missile strike against Russians and advised Ukrainians of how to position their launchers and how to most effectively time the strikes.

One European intelligence officer quoted in the article said that the US was so closely involved that it was effectively part of the “kill-chain.” The American effort was known as Task Force Dragon and was far more detailed and involved than I have time to review in this report. The last thing I will say is that the US provided information that allowed for the sinking of the Moskva, the flagship of the Russian Black Sea fleet and also the missile attack against Kerch bridge which runs from the Russian mainland to Crimea.

Well folks, this information and a lot more than I have mentioned including drone and missile attacks inside Russia were documented in the article but now the Russians also have this admission right at the time of peace negotiations. Why is the question and I think the answer is to admit to Putin what the US involvement is and to give him the opportunity to end the war on his terms, not the US terms. Every time the US negotiators stake out a position of agreeing to Russian demands, Zelensky says no, I want everything returned to 2014 positions. The Americans tell him that is not and cannot be our position so I think he is out of the picture now and the negotiations are between Trump and Putin.

One last very interesting thing about the article is that it is a direct contradiction of the New York Times information provided to the American people for over three years. The Times systematically lied to America and deliberately parroted Biden’s denials of American involvement in the war for three years. According to journalist Bob Woodward from his book” War” about the Biden Administration, Biden had to constantly reassure the American people that they would not be dragged into a war with Russia. The problem is that they were not dragged in but entered the war voluntarily and enthusiastically.

Having said all that it is my conclusion that the article is most likely a CIA plant but that doesn’t mean that every word of it is not true. The entry into the war on Ukrainian soil by America reminds one of the famous quote by Henry Kissinger, “it is dangerous to be an enemy of America, but it is fatal to be a friend of America.”

So, Trump and his negotiating team are working feverishly to bring the war to a conclusion as he promised he would. It is clear now that the terms will be Russian, not American, and certainly not Ukrainian. The Europeans, especially Starmer in the UK talk about staying at war and even committing their own troops but that is an obvious bluff. Trump asked Starmer directly, in public when he talked about committing troops, so you think you can defeat Russia by yourself. That is a pretty revealing statement of the American position on Ukraine, however, the American position on Iran is completely different. Part of the Trump-Putin 90-minute phone call back in February was apparently to discuss the idea that if the United States attacked Iran Russia would stay out of it. The massive military buildup of United States strategic forces in the Middle East seems headed toward a strike against Iran. We are constantly told that Iran can’t be allowed to have nuclear weapons but given the attitudes of China and Russia toward their ally, Iran, I would not be surprised if Iran already has nukes. The Iranians apparently believe that buying nukes from a legitimate power does not make you legitimate but being able to make your own does.

The US has reportedly deployed 6 or 7 of its B-2 stealth bombers to Diego Garcia, a joint US-Britain Island air strip in the Indian Ocean. The island lies about 2400 miles due south of Iran so along with the B-2’s their refueling tankers have also been included for the roughly 5000-mile round trip to Iran. The question occurs to me, why can’t Israel fight its own war against Iran if it thinks it’s necessary. The answer we are given is that Israel has no heavy bombers and the only non-nuclear bomb that could penetrate Iran’s hardened nuclear research facilities is the US made 30,000-pound bomb designed to penetrate deep and then explode opening the way for less powerful munitions.

That explanation may not be accurate but it is the one given when that question is asked. Air and Space Forces Magazine has revealed that the US is deploying many assets besides the B-2’s. By the way the US only built 21 of the 150 approximately, that were planned. It is a very expensive airplane and two have already been lost in accidents so 19 are left and about 7 of those are currently in the middle of the Indian Ocean. The other deployed assets include A-10 ground attack aircraft from the Idaho National Guard along with the personnel necessary to operate these aircraft effectively.

Trump has repeatedly threatened the Iranians telling them they have 2 months to dismantle their nuclear facilities and permit inspection or “something very bad will happen to them.” A great deal of confidence is placed in the claim that Israel destroyed Iran’s anti-air defense batteries including the advanced S-300 and S-400 missiles provided by Russia. In response to Trump’s threats, the Iranians threatened a preemptive attack on the American base at Diego along with other US assets but that doesn’t worry me that much because I doubt they are that stupid. The US currently has about 10 minor bases or outposts in the Middle East manned by about 50,000 troops counting those at sea with the navy. Rather than a preemptive attack, Iran has appealed to the UN to intervene in light of Trump’s threat to them.

The Iranians reportedly have massed over 1000 long range missiles to attack US and Israeli positions. They say they will target Israeli nuclear sites first. The range of those missiles puts US bases and naval forces in the Gulf and the MED well within range. I have said many times that anti-air defenses can handle a few missiles as they have done repeatedly in response to Houthi attacks, but a swarming attack by hundreds or thousands of them, some hypersonic, are unstoppable. That all means a great many casualties on both sides along with a great deal of infrastructure destruction and possible radioactive contamination. Large numbers of American casualties will force the apparently lethargic American public to at least look at it.

In Conclusion, last Tuesday Benjamin Netanyahu announced the lifting of all tariffs Israel imposes on American goods. Did you know Israel placed tariffs on American goods because I didn’t. That makes our previous welfare to the nation of Israel even more egregious. America doesn’t seem to gain much from unconditionally backing nuclear armed Israel. Why would this nation let Israel tax American companies while lavishing such aid on them. Tucker Carlson asks a very legitimate question. Do D.C. politicians think bending over backward to please the Israeli government is somehow America’s moral duty? Why?  Quote from Tucker:

“As Donald Trump’s special envoy for hostage affairs said last month, the U.S. government is “not an agent of Israel.” The removal of these tariffs should remind our leaders of that. Otherwise, Washington’s decades long humiliation exercise of forcing Americans to kiss the ground the foreign country walks on will continue to drag on. Eventually, it will be too much for the people to handle.”

Finally, Folks, is this coming war against Iran America first? I think not. Would America stand by while so many civilians were killed by any other nation? Again, I think not.

At least that’s the way I see it,

Until next time folks,

This is Darrell Castle,

Darrell Castle talks about the recently released 80,000 files, so far, concerning the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the immense power of the deep state.

Transcription / Notes

JFK’s GRAVE

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday, the 28^th day of March in the year of our Lord 2025. I will be talking about the recently declassified and released 80,000 files, so far, concerning the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Those files remind us of the immense power of the deep state and how its members tend to close ranks when threatened because they derive great wealth and power from their membership,

I remember that day quite clearly because I was 15 years old and at a high school track meet when the news told the world what supposedly happened. The coach told us the track meet was over and school was closed for the day. It was scary and a sobering time for a 15-year-old trying to make sense of the world anyway, but this Report is not a rehash of the assassination but instead it is a look at what it all means for the world and how its aftermath still resonates in the world today.

That day was an eye opener for some people but for most of us it has taken decades for our eyes to fully open. Polls taken throughout the 1950’s revealed that over 70% of Americans trusted the government and believed that it would do what is right “most of the time.” A follow up question showed that most of the time meant “just about always.” November 22, 1963, began a long decline in the public’s confidence that is greater today than at any other time in our history. That former trust in government is gone and today’s polls show only about 22% still trust in government.

Darrell Castle talks about the wars currently on-going in the world and how they are being used to form a new order of the world.

THE U.S. AND RUSSIA HAVE COMMON INTERESTS

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday, the 21^st day of March in the year of our Lord 2025. I will be talking about the subject I hate the most, and that is war which seems to be almost everywhere. The partial ceasefire in Ukraine, the open fire now in Gaza, and the U.S. war in the Red Sea/Gulf of Aden and Bab-el-Mandab against the Houthis.

War shapes the world order and I guess it always has. For example, the military defeat of Napoleon in 1814 led to the Congress of Vienna which cemented Great Britain as the leader of the new world order instead of France. I suppose since those countries controlled the world it would be OK to call that a world war resulting in the new order which existed until World War One or 1914. The victors in WW l set the order with the formation of the League of Nations which totally collapsed when Germany decided that it would be a better world leader than Britain. The victors in World War ll formed the new order with the United States as its leader and the United Nations to cement the order permanently.

The Soviet Union, which was one of the victors in WW ll didn’t accept the U.S. as world leader and that resulted in a 40 year long world order which became the cold war. The end of the cold war brought an end to the Soviet Union which dissolved into the Russian Federation. The global elite of the world had to find a way to continue the struggle to feed the eternal death machine so the conflict between NATO and Russia continued. We won’t move one inch closer to Russia Reagan told Gorbachev but later presidents reneged on that promise and the struggle continued.

RESETTING THE GLOBAL ORDER

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday the 14^th day of March in the year of our Lord 2025. I will be talking about several things that taken together, in my opinion, represent an attempt by President Trump to reset the global order. Some of those things include a proposal for a ceasefire in Ukraine, along with the US and Europe’s special relationship and the attitude of the US toward Russia.

US national security advisor Mike Waltz and Secretary of State Marco Rubio went to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia for talks with Ukrainian officials about a proposal for ending the Ukraine/Russia war. It’s a very difficult thing to end a war unless you are able to raise your flag over the enemy capitol. Getting two warring sides to just stop fighting and stand in place is very difficult because one side or the other always has the advantage or momentum and wants to keep it.

This particular peace conference was apparently brokered by the Saudis who had several representatives in attendance. One important party missing from the meeting was Russia which will obviously have to be onboard if the ceasefire has any chance of working.

Darrell Castle talks about Europe, Zelensky, and the war in Ukraine as well as the President’s speech to Congress and the Democrat reaction to it.

JEFFERSON WAS RIGHT ABOUT EUROPE

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday the 7^th day of March in the year of our Lord 2025. I will be talking about Europe, Zelensky, and the war in Ukraine as well as the President’s speech to Congress and the Democrat reaction to it.

I will start today’s Report with a disclaimer. When I talk about Democrats and say nasty but always truthful things about them, when I refer to them in some disparaging terms I am talking about the politicians and their useful idiots in the media and not about individual Americans who identify as Democrats many of whom are dear friends or even relatives. So, I have no apology to offer for anything I have said or will say today about Democrat politicians because if I did not believe my position to be true I would certainly change it. In addition, there are some Republican politicians almost as bad as Democrats, almost but not quite because they know better but are simply reacting as the self-serving political hypocrites that they are.

The title of this Castle Report is taken from a quote by Thomas Jefferson offered more than 200 years ago but just as true today as it was then.

THE THEATER OF TAX AND SPEND

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday the 28^th day of February in the year of our Lord 2025. I will be talking about taking on or contending with the deep state or permanent Washington and how that relates to money, debt, credit and taxes. Many taxpayers feel as if they have been and are being robbed by government officials and bureaucrats and that just might be because they are.

If you are like me then you know a lot of people who live on the edge barely making ends meet from week to week. I meet people literally everyday in my law practice who tell me they are one missed paycheck from the street. It is very distressing for those people when they find that much of the money taken from them as taxes was stolen by some invisible blob operating out of Washington D.C.

We are told during each presidential administration that the country has cast itself into penury by ceaseless efforts to care for its population as well as maintain a global security network to keep them safe and free. That statement is the opposite of truth as is normal for Washington. The recent theft, estimated at 4.7 trillion as is known so far, represents about two thirds of the annual national budget, but it disappears and is apparently impossible to trace. Nobody who should know does know and even fewer care where it goes.

RUDE AMERICAN OFFERS EUROPEAN INDEPENDENCE

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday the 21^st day of February in the year of our Lord 2025. I will be talking about the remarks of Vice President Vance at the annual Munich Security Conference as well as the European response to those remarks. In addition, I will talk a little about DOGE and its examination of the Military Industrial Complex (MIC).

Yes, J.D. Vance spoke to Europeans about their relationship with the U.S. at the annual Munich Security Conference which had as its main emphasis the U.S. role as the guarantor of European Security and the European and American roles in Ukraine. He called the Europeans out for censoring their people and for allowing third world migrants to destroy their communities. He seemed to indicate that these policies were not in the best interest of the European people and they also hinder our fellowship with them. I will point out that those have also been the policies of the United States for at least the past 4 years and in part for all the years since 9/11, but the European elite bought what the Biden administration was selling to them hook, line, and sinker.

I suppose he was telling Europe that that the new sheriff in the U.S. believes in free speech and in preserving the quality of life for the American people. The subjects that Vance discussed in his speech were, in my view, an admission that the empire is in trouble and changes have to be made right now to save a free republic for our children. The debt faced by the country will lead to ultimate collapse and chaos and something must be done to change or at least slow the process of that looming disaster. The content of his speech acknowledged that reality without really saying it out loud.

Darrell Castle discusses the corruption that only the US taxpayers can provide with $50 billion per year of their hard-earned money, all laundered through an organization called the United States Agency for International Development.

USAID—FINANCIAL LAUNDRYMAT FOR THE CORRUPT ELITE

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is Friday the 14^th day of February in the year of our Lord 2025. Yes, this is Valentine’s Day, but I speak not of love today but of corruption and not just any old corruption but the kind that only the US taxpayers can provide with $50 billion per year of their hard-earned money all laundered through an organization called The United States Agency for International Development.

USAID was formed by an Executive Order of President Kennedy in 1961. He looked at the world and concluded that he might be able to spare the world from some of what President Eisenhower had gone through by just spreading some US money around in countries to help their people instead of using that money to destabilize them and start eternal wars. That process has become known over the years as soft power.

It seemed to work too, at least it worked for the few years of his too short life. USAID built schools, hospitals, and roads across much of Africa. JFK became a revered figure, especially in Africa, and you can still find hospitals and schools named Kennedy across Africa. Once Kennedy was assassinated by a lone nut who was, coincidentally, also assassinated by a lone nut, things started to change at USAID. The agency evolved over time into nothing more than a $50 billion slush fund for the politically connected to inflict their ideologies on people across the world. The uncovering and correction of this corruption is being labeled by certain Democrat politicians and their media mouthpieces as a coup, but no it is not a coup. A coup is what your CIA and State Department using USAID money has been conducting against foreign countries for at least the last 50 years.

Darrell Castle continues to share his thoughts on the confirmation hearings of Tulsi Gabbard and RFK, Jr. and shares his thesis that the hearings revealed a lot more about the U.S. government, especially the Senators who questioned them, than it did Tulsi and RFK, Jr.

Transcription / Notes

THE TRIALS OF TULSI AND RFK, JR.

Hello, THIS IS Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday the 7^th day of February in the year of our Lord 2025. I will continue to give you my thoughts on the confirmation hearings of Tulsi Gabbard and RFK, Jr. as well as my thesis that the hearings revealed a lot more about the U.S. government and especially about the Senators who questioned them than they did about Tulsi and RFK, Jr.

Both nominees were passed by the committee and now await a full Senate vote on whether or not they will be able to participate in Donald Trump’s efforts to dismantle the shadow government that has run the world for many years. Tulsi was advanced to a senate vote by the intelligence committee on a vote of 9 in favor and 8 opposed. So, 8 senators could not bring themselves to vote yes on Lt. Col. Gabbard who has served her country so faithfully for most of her life.

The senators seemed very concerned because of what they know will happen if these two nominees are confirmed. The deep state of secrecy and shadows will be opened at least in part for the people to see what they have been funding for many years. Since Tulsi is nominated for the office of Director of National Intelligence secrecy is of the most vital concern for the senators. They just can’t bear the thought of someone shining a light on the graft and corruption that permeates Washington. We the people have no right to know where all the money is going and where it all comes from.

Darrell Castle talks about the Senate confirmation hearings for Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as the two nominees represent the last line of defense against the Pharmaceutical and permanent war parties and therefore, they will pull out all stops to defeat them.

Transcription / Notes

PERMANENT WASHINGTON FEARS AND HATES TULSI AND RFK, JR.

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday the 31^st day of January in the year of our Lord 2025. I will be talking about the Senate confirmation hearings for Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services. These two nominees represent the last line of defense for the Pharmaceutical and permanent war parties and therefore, they will pull out all stops to defeat them.

Once again I will begin this report with a quote from Dennis Kucinich:

“Congresswoman Gabbard is uniquely qualified for this role. As a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve, she has served our nation with distinction since 2002, earning Top Secret clearance through the trust of the Department of Defense, her executive officers, and peers. There are few individuals as prepared, as experienced, and as committed to the national interest as Lt. Col. Tulsi Gabbard. Her leadership has consistently demonstrated sound judgment, ethical standards, and an unwavering commitment to the constitution of the United States.”
