Turkish media recently claimed that Russia offered to buy back their country’s S-400s that it received in 2019 in order to then resell them to other clients, which Turkiye is supposedly receptive to since it wants to end its spat with the US over this and is also developing a domestic analogue that can replace them. 

Polish media added that “Ankara still does not actively use them. They were never integrated into NATO, their missiles are already halfway through their shelf life, and maintenance costs pose a burden”.

Meanwhile, Indian media suggested that this deal could result in their country finally receiving its delayed S-400s, which would first have to be upgraded by Russia. While neither Russia nor Turkiye have confirmed this report, it’s sensible enough to be taken seriously for the time being at least. Russia can’t spare any S-400s from the front for export, Turkiye has since largely reconciled with the US and no longer needs the S-400s either, while India is eager to receive more of these systems as soon as possible.

Each corresponding party’s interests are more urgent than ever because:

• Russia needs to regain its rapidly declining role in the global arms market after most of its production has been redirected from export to the front since 2022;

• the new TRIPP Corridor creates the basis for a US-Turkish military-strategic partnership along Russia’s entire southern periphery so long as the S-400-related US sanctions are first lifted;

• and spring’s Indo-Pak clashes made air defense a renewed priority for Delhi.

The original goal behind Turkiye’s import of the S-400s is no longer relevant either. Back then, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan deeply distrusted the US due to its (at minimum indirect) role in summer 2016’s failed coup, hence why he agreed to this air defense deal a year later. Turkiye was also very displeased with direct US military support for Ankara-designated Kurdish terrorists in Syria. After TRIPP and Jolani’s/Sharaa’s rise to power, however, the aforesaid imperatives became outdated for the most part.

The stage is therefore set for a grand deal between the US, Turkiye, Russia, and India, at least in theory and only tacitly in the case of the US-Russia, US-India, and Turkiye-India, but it remains to be seen whether it’ll materialize.

There are some forces that might torpedo it though, chiefly hardliners in the US and Russia, who might respectively object to the principle of a NATO ally selling military equipment back to Moscow and Russia buying back a weapons system that it sold to a NATO ally who now funds Ukraine.

Each side’s hardliners would therefore have to be sidelined in order for this deal to go through and it can’t be assumed that both Trump and Putin are able to do so in the current political conditions amidst escalating US-Russian tensions.

Furthermore, the US is also taking a hard line against India nowadays led by Trump personally, which reduces the odds that it would agree to have Turkiye indirectly supply India with Russia’s S-400s after Trump just punitively tariffed India for continuing to buy Russian arms.

Accordingly, while the details of this proposed arrangement make perfect sense with respect to each side’s interests as explained, political factors vis-à-vis the calculations of American and Russian hardliners could ultimately ruin any possibility for such a deal.

If the political will exists at each of those two’s highest levels, however, then it’s recommended that they encourage their media surrogates to articulate the inherent strategic benefits in order to help persuade the hardliners to reconsider their resistance.

The prices of metals reflect a contrast between rarity, utility, and value.

This visualization, via Visual Capitalist’s Bruno Venditti, breaks down how much of each metal you could purchase with $10,000, showing their respective weights in kilograms.

At one end of the scale, $10,000 barely buys a handful of gold dust. On the other, it secures literal tons of industrial metals like aluminum and zinc.

The data for this visualization comes from Daily Metal Prices.

Precious Metals: Small in Size, Big in Value

Gold tops the chart in value, costing over $108 million per metric ton. That means $10,000 only gets you 92 grams, barely more than a chocolate bar.

Platinum and palladium are slightly less expensive but still highly valuable, offering just a few hundred grams per $10,000. These metals are prized for their rarity, beauty, and industrial applications, especially in electronics and catalytic converters.

Industrial Metals: Value in Volume

On the opposite end are base metals like aluminum, zinc, and copper. These materials are far more abundant and are critical to infrastructure and manufacturing. For example, with $10,000, you could buy 3,815 kilograms of aluminum, enough to construct dozens of bicycles. Even copper, a more valuable industrial metal, yields over a metric ton for the same amount of money.

Strategic and Emerging Materials

In between are metals like lithium and nickel, which are crucial to green technologies, batteries, and energy systems. Lithium, priced at nearly $12,000 per ton, yields 838 kg for $10,000, while nickel provides 667 kg.

Risk spreads in France have continued to ease back on a trend basis, even after Fitch’s downgrade on Friday.

However, some spreads remain elevated in absolute terms, indicating the market continues to price in structural problems.

As a reminder that agencies’ ratings changes are lagging, French bond spreads and asset swap spreads are slightly tighter today after Fitch’s downgrade of French government debt to A+ from AA- on Friday.

A holistic measure of market-based French risk spreads, in the chart below, shows it is back to its one-year average.

However, the measure is on a trend basis.

In absolute terms, some risk spreads, such as the French-German bond spread and the asset swap spread, remain wide.

What that tells us is that risk is no longer acute, but it remains chronic.

Spreads will not significantly decline until there is clear progress in reducing the deficit.

France may have got a pass from the bond market for now, but it’s still in a fix.

That clemency will be reassuring to other countries such as the UK, yet what happens in the EU’s second largest economy will still be consequential for developed bond markets around the world.

On Monday a group of 325 former EU ambassadors and senior officials have submitted a letter calling on the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) to impose sanctions on Israel, reported by Euronews. This is in response to the devasting civilian casualties in Gaza and expansionist policies in the West Bank.

The letter urges the UNSC “to adopt sanctions against the multiple violations of international law being perpetrated daily by the Israeli government on the people of Palestine.”

This is not going to advanced, of course given that the five permanent UNSC members of China, France, Russia, UK and US are not going to approve it – especially not the Untied States. Each have veto power over such sanctions. But Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu has increasingly acknowledged Israel’s growing economic isolation, especially regarding Europe, as he did in fresh Monday comments…

“Israel is in a sort of isolation,” Netanyahu admitted before conference of the Finance Ministry’s accountant general in Jerusalem. “We will increasingly need to adapt to an economy with autarkic characteristics,” he continued – using a term signifying the pursuit of total economic self-sufficiency and domestic reliance. He said this is “the word I most hate.”

“I am a believer in the free market, but we may find ourselves in a situation where our arms industries are blocked. We will need to develop arms industries here – not only research and development, but also the ability to produce what we need,” he said.

While the Trump administration has expressed it will continue its ironclad security support, Tel Aviv knows it cannot always rely on Washington, given in any era there could be a new administration in the White House, and future policy could shift drastically – as it is doing among several EU states.

To illustrate Trump’s ongoing support, Secretary of State Marco Rubio traveled to Israel over the weekend to reaffirm the ‘special relationship’ – after President Donald Trump is reportedly frustrated with the Israeli attempted assassination of several Hamas officials in Qatar, who were there for a new round of expected negotiations. 

Rubio made a visit to the Western Wall, also with Ambassador Mike Huckabee, where he said, “I think his visit here is a testament to the durability, the strength of the Israeli-American alliance. And Netanyahu told reporters during the visit that the relationship is “as strong, as durable as the stones in the Western Wall that he just touched. Under President Trump and Secretary Rubio and their entire team, this alliance has never been stronger.”

Last week’s risky operation in Doha has reportedly pit Israel’s intelligence officials against the prime minister. The Wall Street Journal issued the following details of what was a long-range missile fired from Israeli jets from far outside Gulf airspace:

As Israeli war planners plotted a secret strike on Hamas political leaders in Qatar, they chose a plan that enabled them to attack quickly and limited the opportunity for the U.S. to object.  

The operation, which was carried out Tuesday, relied on warplanes that fired long range missiles, avoided the airspace of Arab countries and left the Trump administration in the dark until the last moments.

Israeli jet fighters, eight F-15s and four F-35s, flew to the Red Sea, on the opposite side of the Arabian Peninsula from Qatar. From there, some of the planes fired the air-launched ballistic missiles into space over Saudi Arabia at Doha, several U.S. officials said.

If accurate, this allowed the Israelis to inform the White House at the last minute, but in a way where the mission couldn’t be shut down. What is clear is that US Patriot batteries did not fire at the inbound missiles. Netanyahu’s intelligence chiefs were reportedly against it, wanting a covert or more subtle option less likely to invoke Qatar’s wrath.

While five Hamas representatives and a Qatari security official were slain, there has been contradictory reporting over whether the mission took out the desired top Hamas official. Netanyahu has been coming under fire domestically, given it also definitely means near-term negotiations with Gaza leaders are effectively dead.

While the European Union likes to throw out terms like “misinformation,” “disinformation,” and “influence campaigns,” the reality is that the EU is pumping millions into influencing public opinion itself. The difference is just that when Brussels does it, it is not supposed to be propaganda.

One European politician, MEP Petr Bystron, has revealed that the EU commission has provided Financial support to the American investigative network Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) right after the 2024 EU elections. Major German news outlets like Spiegel, Zeit, and Süddeutsche Zeitung belong to the group, which is the world’s largest network of investigative media.

These outlets are known for their hit pieces on conservative and right-wing parties, often at opportune times. Notably, Spiegel and Süddeutsche Zeitung’s reporting in 2019 on the Ibiza Affair scandal — which involved an undercover video of the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) party’s leader — led to the toppling of the Austrian government at the time, which included the FPÖ. Many critics believed that due to the sophistication of the operation, which included an undercover actress, intelligence services may have played a role.

The OCCRP group was founded in 2006 and is most well known for publishing the “Panama Papers” and the “Azerbaijan Laundromat” evasion scandals.

After a massive flow of U.S. money was cut off to key European establishment outlets and NGOs, Brussels is stepping in to fill the gap. Namely, the Trump administration ended the massive levels of funding headed towards foreign organizations, particularly from USAID, which allowed them to pump out pro-EU and left-wing content to wide swathes of the population across Europe.

The OCCRP group has received an extraordinary amount of money from U.S. taxpayers and other U.S. sources. According to French outlet Mediapart, the group received nearly $50 million from U.S. sources, but these funders were not just generous donors. They also could dictate editorial agendas and veto staff appointments.

Two journalists from NDR, a German state media network, questioned just how independent the OCCRP is in a 2024 report.

The two determined that a significant portion of the money was coming from American funds, particularly from USAID. OCCRP was funneling content and material to German media outlets like Spiegel, Zeit, and Süddeutsche Zeitung.

Since the revelations, Alternative for Germany (AfD) MEP Petr Bystron has officially requested the EU Commission to provide information about whether it also provides financial support to OCCRP. The response revealed that the organization has received €600,000 since November 2024 as part of an EU project to “strengthen” journalism.

Known as the NEXT-U project, it aims to support European journalists and media organizations with training and tools for investigative journalism. The commission defends the grants, stating that the taxpayer money is transparently distributed and adheres to journalistic standards.

Bystron argues that the ample amount of money amounts to an influence operation.

“OCCRP media outlets like Der Spiegel received over 600,000 euros from the EU directly after the EU elections. These very media outlets manipulated the last EU elections through massive campaigns,” he said in an interview with Berliner Zeitung, which published the exclusive story first.

The AfD MEP stated that the aim was to discredit conservative, right-wing politicians who are critical of the EU.

As Remix News previously reported, Bystron is the focus of an investigation that has seen his house and properties raided 22 times. He is accused of receiving funds from the news platform Voice of Europe, which was accused of being tied to wealthy pro-Russian backers.

Czech intelligence reports were leaked to the press, claiming that Bystron was handing out bribes to right-wing politicians in exchange for interviews; however, Bystron has personally requested that the recordings be released to the public. So far, no such recording has emerged. Bystron has said these allegations are “paid propaganda.”

“Every single one of these 22 searches was illegal. Each one marks a step away from a democratic constitutional state and toward an authoritarian regime that seeks to silence dissent by any means necessary,” Bystron told the Gateway Pundit earlier this year.

Notably, the allegations emerged right before the European Parliament elections, leading to calls that the timing of the allegations was politically motivated and designed to hamper the AfD’s popularity at a pivotal time.

“We will not allow our election campaign to be dictated by manipulative accusations from foreign secret services,” said Bystron about the alleged recordings when the story first broke.

In an interview with Brussels Signal at the time, AfD MEP Maximilian Krah, the lead candidate for the AfD in the EU parliament elections, stated that if Bystron truly took money from Russia, that would constitute a crime, and the authorities should simply arrest him. He notes that it is interesting that Bystron is not being charged and also called for the alleged audio recording to be released.

Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev has once again issued a firm warning to the Western military alliance backing Kiev, saying that if NATO countries begin shooting down Russian drones over Ukraine during the ‘special military operation’, this will put Moscow at war with NATO.

The words come dangerously after the last week has seen Russian drones allegedly breach Polish and Romanian airspace – both NATO member’s along the alliance’s ‘eastern flank’. Moscow has rejected accusations that it intentionally sent these drones, which were by and large ‘decoy’ UAVs amid broader drone waves targeting inside Ukraine.

“Seriously, implementing the provocative idea of Kiev and other idiots to create a ‘no-fly zone over Ukraine’ and allowing NATO countries to down our drones will mean only one thing: NATO’s war with Russia,” Medvedev wrote on Telegram Monday.

He additionally remarked the “powerful European initiative ‘Eastern Sentry’” amuses him as it “seems to be all that remains of the ‘coalition of the willing’.”

Over the weekend, a pair of Russian drones were observed and tracked in Romania’s airspace, near Ukraine’s southern border, the Romanian military said. A pair of F-16s were scrambled, but the pilots refrained from firing on them and they exited back to Ukraine territory.

The former Russian president also made comments aimed at Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur. He is visiting Ukraine. “An Estonian defense minister has arrived in Kiev. He is threatening. The smaller the country, the more aggressive and foolish its leaders tend to be,” Medvedev noted.

All the while, Ukraine has continued its cross-border drone attacks on Russian territory. Belgorod oblast authorities said two women in a village near the border with Ukraine were killed in such an attack Monday morning.

Three other people were injured and a vehicle was destroyed, following a night where anti-air defenses were able to intercept six of the inbound drone wave.

The hawks keep pushing for more muscle and present delusional views on the current status of the conflict…

Russia is, in fact, losing the war in Ukraine, says Trump’s special envoy Kellogg — noting that Gen. Caine, Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs, shares the same view.

Meanwhile, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov in fresh remarks Monday painted a picture of NATO and Russia already being in a de facto state of war.

“NATO is at war with Russia. It is obvious and does not require any additional proof,” he told a press briefing. “NATO is de facto involved in this war. NATO provides both indirect and direct support to the Kiev regime. Therefore, it can be said with absolute certainty that NATO is at war with Russia.”

More than 30 victims of a Syrian youth gang, known as “505,” have been recorded n the cities of Graz and Vienna.

The suspects range in age from 17 to 20, with police reporting they dealt a “severe blow” to the group with mass arrests.

“I’ve never experienced a dimension (of crime) of this magnitude before, and I’ve been in this business for 20 years,” said police spokesman Fritz Grundnig.

The organized gang is accused of a long series of extremely violent assaults between November 2024 and June 2025, mostly in Graz. Styrian police have released details to the national media about the group, including their involvement in the narcotics trade.

“A total of over 20 crimes have been reported, with over 30 victims injured and assaulted by this gang,” said Grundnig.

“The men are suspected of having intentionally committed grievous bodily harm, aggravated assault, robberies, dangerous threats, and coercion in Graz since the end of 2024, with varying degrees of involvement, and of having joined forces in a criminal organization,” an additional press release reads. The investigation revealed that the “505” group used blunt and stabbing weapons. Among the victims were minors, according to media outlet Die Presse.

Despite the gang being focused in Graz, a number of arrests were made in Vienna as well.

Many victims faced extreme violence.

“For example, in June, the group stabbed another man at Griesplatz. He suffered a stab wound in the thigh,” Grundnig reported.

The police spokesperson also said that the gang is involved in the narcotics trade.

“During the house searches, which were of course carried out as part of this operation, a considerable quantity of drugs was found,” he stated.

The gang apparently named itself after another Arab clan gang, which participated in brutal clashes between Chechens, Turks, and Syrians, who gathered under the name 505 or 505/515, in Vienna in 2024.

Those clashes saw gun battles, multiple stabbings, and routine violence.

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa (Jolani) has alleged that he and his followers from the former Al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), took power in Damascus as part of an agreement with Russia.

Sharaa, formerly known as Islamic State in Iraq commander Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, made the comments in an interview with the state-run Al-Ikhbariya TV channel. During the interview from days ago, Sharaa claimed that his forces had begun secret negotiations with Russia, Bashar al-Assad’s key ally, during the offensive that eventually toppled Assad.

On November 27 of last year, HTS launched an offensive to capture Aleppo in northern Syria. His forces met little resistance and quickly took control of the city. His fighters then moved south toward Hama, the next major city on the road toward Damascus.

“When we reached Hama during the liberation battle, negotiations took place between us and Russia,” Sharaa said.

When HTS forces continued south to Homs, the next major city, Russia “stayed out of the fighting… under an agreement concluded between us,” he added.

Sharaa’s forces took control of Damascus on December 8 after Assad fled the country to Russia. The interim Syrian president also claimed that his forces had deliberately avoided attacking Russia’s Hmeimim airbase near Jableh on the country’s coast and that he is committed to keeping good relations with Russia.

“Russia is an important country in the world and a member of the Security Council. There are close ties between Syria and Russia that we inherited. They must be preserved and developed calmly and carefully,” he was quoted as saying in the interview.

In February, Reuters reported that Israel was lobbying the US to allow Russia to maintain its airbase in Hmeimim, as well as its naval base further south in Tartus. The lobbying was part of an Israeli effort to keep Syria weak and divided, Reuters added.

Syria is currently negotiating a security agreement with Israel, which has occupied large swathes of land in south-west Syria since Sharaa came to power. “We are now in a state of negotiations and dialogue on the issue of a security agreement,” Sharaa said during the interview with Al-Ikhbariya.

He said he is asking Israel to honor the 1974 disengagement agreement establishing a demilitarized buffer zone after the 1973 October (Yom Kippur) War and to withdraw its troops to positions it held before 8 December.

Sharaa’s comments appear to endorse Israeli control of the Syrian Golan Heights, which Israel occupied in 1967 during the Six-Day War. Former Syrian President Hafez al-Assad refused to reach a peace agreement with Israel as long as the occupation of the Golan continued. His son Bashar continued the same policy.

Israel has also carried out hundreds of airstrikes in Syria to destroy the country’s military infrastructure since 2018, when the covert US-Israeli war to topple the Syrian government ended.

But Israel unleashed an unprecedented number of airstrikes on Syria in the days after Assad fell on December 8, as the country’s Russian-made air defenses were completely crippled. However, Israeli-Russian cooperation existed long before Sharaa’s recent campaign to seize Damascus.

Professor Chen Kerchner of Ariel University wrote that Israel and Russia have engaged in “friendship balancing,” despite being on opposite sides of the Syria conflict since 2015. The Russian air force entered the war in September of that year to bomb extremist groups supported by the US and Israel, including Sharaa’s HTS and ISIS.

Russia and Israel “developed norms and structural practices – including regular meetings of elites, public statements, and other mechanisms – to mitigate disputes. These strategies created and sustained a friendship balance that prevented rivalry and escalation between the two,” Kerchner wrote.

the Russia-Israel relationship is very little understood in the US. If Russia really did what the Iranian general accuses them of, it means Russia wisely cut their losses early & made the best of it with Turkey/HTS. May explain why Jolani-Sharaa has been forgiving to Russia. pic.twitter.com/kFARcH0Rrc

According to a former officer in the Syrian Army who spoke with The Cradle, Russia regularly blocked Syria from using its air defense systems when targeted by Israeli warplanes in the years before Assad was toppled. “Russian betrayed us long before December 8,” the officer stated.

After Israel attacked Russia’s erstwhile ally, Iran, in June of this year, President Vladimir Putin explained that Russia did not assist the Islamic Republic because “almost two million Russian-speaking people live in Israel.”

After the fall of the Soviet Union, a number of Jewish businessmen amassed immense fortunes, becoming some of Russia’s most prominent and influential oligarchs. Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Bernie Bellan asked in the Jewish Post and News, “I wonder how many other Jews are harboring feelings of embarrassment over the fact that so many Russian oligarchs are Jews.”

Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller joined Vice President JD Vance, who hosted The Charlie Kirk Show earlier, following Kirk’s assassination last Wednesday by what has been described as a “radical left, ANTIFA-adjacent creep” with a radicalized transgender partner. 

Miller told Vance, “Which is that we need to have an organized strategy to go after the left-wing organizations that are promoting violence in this country.”

“It is a vast domestic terror movement, and with God as my witness, we are going to use every resource we have… throughout this government to identify, disrupt, dismantle, and destroy these networks… and we will do it in Charlie’s name.”

It appears that Miller has correctly identified the dark-money-funded NGO world as fueling this madness, and that an urgent all-of-government approach is necessary.

Recent commentary from civil terrorism expert Jason Curtis Anderson of One City Rising highlighted the complexity of the radical leftist NGO networks waging war on the nation:

“One of the hardest parts of confronting rising left-wing extremism is that even those who care about the issue often don’t understand how it operates. That’s not their fault—it’s an extraordinarily complex issue. The revolution against the West spans thousands of organizations that may not be formally linked, but are marching in unison toward the revolution.” 

In fact, we’ve been warning about civil terrorism emanating like cancer via radical leftist groups for months:

• The Protest-Industrial-Complex Isn’t Peaceful, It’s “Civil Terrorism”…

• America Has A “Transtifa” Problem

• The Transgender Shooter, The Socialist Rifle Association, And The Alarming Rise Of Far-Left Militancy

Commenting on Miller’s response, Anderson also agreed that a multi-agency, coordinated effort is urgently needed, stressing that disrupting the funding networks of these dark-money–funded NGOs is essential to preventing the Marxist revolution from advancing further through continued political assassinations of America First thought leaders and continued color revolution–style operations on city streets aimed at subverting the nation.

Here’s more from the civil terrorism expert:

It’s encouraging to see the White House focus on the violent, revolutionary arm of the radical left, but targeting small organizations alone won’t solve the problem.

We need a multi-agency coordinated effort, and it must confront the dark-money network of foundations that prop them up.

We also must begin ruthlessly regulating and enforcing the tax-exempt 501(c)(3) system, where the revolution against the West operates. To qualify for tax-exempt status, a group is supposed to serve the public good.

Yet many qualify on flimsy claims of promoting social, racial, or climate justice and then devote themselves to protests and flag-burning.

They are a cancer on society, and the longer we wait, the more it will metastasize.

It’s also alarming how closely far-left radicalization mirrors Islamist radicalization. The stages are strikingly similar: Introduction to ideology, Obsession with ideology, Belief that violence is justified, Acts of violence on behalf of the ideology.

Seamus Bruner, the Director of Research at the Government Accountability Institute (GAI), where he works closely with investigative author Peter Schweizer, provided more color:

Stephen Miller is pulling the mask off the shadowy radical left NGO network that pretends to be humanitarian, but in practice launders money, fuels lawlessness, and stokes violence. Dismantling it isn’t about politics, it’s about cutting off the operational arm of chaos in America.

Here are the methods @StephenM has stated might be in play:

1. RICO charges

2. Conspiracy charges

3. Conspiracy against the United States

4. Insurrection

5. “We are going to do what it takes.”

On Saturday, the Trump administration urgently sought an extra $58 million in security funding for the executive and judicial branches, because now the admin sees the threat we’ve warned about:

• Kill-List Risks: Kirk’s assassination should be interpreted by America First leaders and thought leaders as the potential beginning of a sequential campaign of targeted political violence. The message is obvious: revolutionary armed Marxist radicals won’t stop at Kirk (read the report). 

Are you beginning to see how the Democratic Party’s dark-money-funded NGO network operates?

Holy. Shit.

JD Vance is fed up:

Authored by Stu Cvrk via American Greatness,

In 2023, according to the US Centers for Disease Control, 613,349 Americans died of cancer. That number is projected to increase to over 618,000 this year. As a result, medical research has been focused on the development of cancer treatment protocols for decades for all types of cancer.

The National Cancer Institute’s Cancer Trials Support Unit (CTSU) and the National Institute of Health’s ClinicalTrials.gov website list hundreds of active protocols, with 457 NCI-supported protocols noted in clinical trial databases for various cancer types and stages.

For example, there are approximately a dozen known treatment protocols for Stage 4 prostate cancer that focus on managing the disease since it is considered to be incurable. For context, the American Cancer Society’s estimates for prostate cancer in the US for 2025 are about 313,780 new cases and about 35,770 projected deaths.

Medical researchers are continually developing potentially breakthrough cancer protocols. This is the true story of one man’s experience with a new protocol that exploits repurposed drugs.

THE PATIENT

Mr. Jeffrey Kramer of Shelby, Ohio, retired as a plaintiff’s civil fraud attorney in 2024 after he was diagnosed with metastasized Stage 4 prostate cancer that had spread into his hip bones, lumbar spine, and inguinal lymph nodes. His Cleveland Clinic oncologist had advised him that the cancer was incurable but probably manageable for a (short) time using testosterone suppressant drugs (leuprolide injections and apalutamide pills) until his body ceased being “hormone sensitive,” at which point he would decline from there.

The side effects of that drug combo would be substantial—and potentially mortal. Most significant was that the leuprolide injection(s) would assuredly demineralize his bones at a high rate (up to 11% per year), leading to hip fracture(s) and loss of mobility.

*  *  *

Try IQ’s 5g of high-grade, micronized creatine per dose.

*  *  *

This was Mr. Kramer’s second bout with serious cancer, as in 2010, he had undergone surgery, then three months of combined chemotherapy and radiation therapy for tonsil cancer that had incapacitated him for a year before he was able to resume his law practice.

Last fall, Mr. Kramer received information about a new cancer protocol that would change his life.

THE PROTOCOL

A new peer-reviewed cancer protocol authored by a team of sixteen cancer doctors and medical researchers from the US and several other nations was published in the September 2024 Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine, titled “Targeting the Mitochondrial-Stem Cell Connection in Cancer Treatment: A Hybrid Orthomolecular Protocol.” Its authors were prominent in oncology, and the published protocol was heavily footnoted to 204 medical studies documenting in vivo and in vitro safe and successful use of each and every element of the protocol. The authors of many of the referenced studies are at the top of their profession, i.e., well-known, highly published doctors and medical research professionals.

Here is an excerpt from the abstract that explains the science (not for the non-technical among us!):

The cancer paradigm is generally based on the somatic mutation model, asserting that cancer is a disease of genetic origin. The mitochondrial-stem cell connection (MSCC) proposes that tumorigenesis may result from an alteration of the mitochondria, specifically a chronic oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) insufficiency in stem cells, which forms cancer stem cells (CSCs) and leads to malignancy. Reviewed evidence suggests that the MSCC could provide a comprehensive understanding of all the different stages of cancer.

From the research presented in the paper, a hybrid orthomolecular protocol was developed that relies upon six elements (or “molecules”):

[1] a therapeutic ketogenic diet high in fats and protein but low in carbs.

[2] moderate exercise (aerobic heart rate) for 45-75 minutes three times a week, such as cycling, running, swimming, etc.

[3] high-dose (non-toxic level) vitamin C by IV, PICC, or port three times a week.

[4] ivermectin daily at a proven safe dosage.

[5] fenbendazole (or mebendazole) daily at a proven safe dosage.

[6] daily vitamin/mineral supplements of safe levels of vitamin D, vitamin K2, zinc, magnesium, and potassium, with a lab test every two weeks to monitor liver and kidney function and potassium and vitamin D levels for safety.

ADMINISTERING AND MONITORING THE PROTOCOL

After carefully reading that report in the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine, Mr. Kramer contacted three of the U.S./Canadian doctors who were co-authors of the protocol. Because the protocol had not yet been approved for clinical trials and therefore was not FDA approved, they explained that they could not provide assistance without risking discipline, including potential loss of license to practice medicine, by their state/province medical boards. In response to a question about when a clinical trial for this protocol would be approved, their answers were consistent: it typically would take ten to twenty years to get a clinical trial approved, especially where no Big Pharma company would have a profit interest to lobby for a clinical trial of a protocol involving repurposed/off-patent drugs.

Pierrick Martinez, of the Association Cancer et Métabolisme in Nimes, France, a medical researcher and lead author of the protocol, was then contacted by Mr. Kramer. He agreed to provide “long-distance assistance” and supervised administering the entire 15-week protocol, including corresponding with the nurse practitioner who administered the megadose vitamin C intravenous infusions that were one part of the protocol and answering numerous questions along the way. A licensed nutritionist at a Cleveland Clinic oncology center in Mansfield, Ohio, was consulted for advice on how to implement the therapeutic ketogenic diet that was another part of the protocol.

Mr. Kramer completed the 15-week hybrid orthomolecular protocol on June 5, 2025, with no side effects whatsoever. Two weeks later, he received an FDG-PET scan at AVITA Hospital in Galion, Ohio. The radiologist’s report that followed showed no evidence of any active cancer anywhere in his body—not in his head, hip bones, lumbar spine, chest, or lymph glands; nothing—no active cancer anywhere. In fact, it took the radiologist almost a full week to issue that report, for the PET scan was ordered to evaluate metastatic prostate cancer, deemed to be an incurable condition.

Perhaps most amazing, the total cost of the medicines, dietary vitamin/mineral supplements, and vitamin C infusions of this protocol was less than $20,000—a fraction of the cost of even one month’s expense for the cancer “management” medications that a Cleveland Clinic oncologist had previously prescribed as “the standard of care” for cancer treatment.

A mere $20,000 to stave off debilitating cancer and certain death was more than a bargain; it was a godsend to Mr. Kramer.

A very important note: the Hybrid Orthomolecular Protocol was not developed specifically for treating prostate cancer, but rather for treating cancers in general. More specifically, Mr. Kramer’s first treatment for tonsil cancer significantly diminished his immune system such that he was advised that he would be progressively more vulnerable to follow-on cancers like prostate cancer, and this, of course, is what happened. Since he was cured by this protocol, others with immune systems damaged from conventional cancer treatment regimens could likely benefit from it as well.

CONCLUDING THOUGHTS

One man was cured of his Stage 4 prostate cancer through the supervised administration of a new cancer protocol that featured the inexpensive repurposed drugs ivermectin and fenbendazole— “A Hybrid Orthomolecular Protocol.” Was this a one-time miracle or a repeatable protocol that may help other cancer sufferers who are without hope?

Regardless, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services should expedite human trials for this protocol while publicizing this particular result and allowing other cancer sufferers to receive these treatments under the supervision of healthcare professionals. After all, what do they have to lose? Label this procedure as “experimental” if necessary, with the appropriate legal disclaimers, but the US government should not stand in the way of a potentially life-saving cancer protocol.
