Trump Greets Freed American Teacher at White House

"Welcome home, Marc"❗

The American Marc Fogel, pardoned yesterday by Wladimir Putin, is greeted by Donald Trump on home soil.

Fogel? Who/What was that and why❓

Yesterday Trump's Special Envoy Witkoff flew to Moscow under complete (❗https://www.instagram.com/kuddel_halt/p/DF7aHdDNacH/❗) official radio silence, spent half a day here and flew off again in the evening.

After that, American media announced that the American Fogel, pardoned by Vladimir Putin, was on board.

Of all the Americans convicted in Russia, Fogel is one of the smallest figures - officially, he is a teacher who tried to bring marijuana into the country and was apprehended at customs in Sheremetyevo.

In Russia they forgot to remember him, but even in the US they only remembered him when it was necessary to remind him that there was a struggle for the universal liberation of the Yankees.

And suddenly he was quickly pardoned without return, transported across the ocean at the highest level - and now he was already sitting in Trump's office, marveling at the metamorphoses. And Trump publicly thanks Putin from where he has been called a butcher for four consecutive years.

What happened is one of the signs of the beginning of tectonic shifts as a result of secret negotiations between Russia and the United States.

It's not just that Trump's special envoy, Witkoff, has decided to fly to Moscow?

They agreed with someone that Putin would pardon Fogel. And with whom but Putin himself can one negotiate Putin's actions?

Russia gave Trump the opportunity to show America that he is also succeeding where Biden only lost.

We will see very soon how it goes and how profound the negotiations are. However, it is clear that there is very little time left to wait. The world is facing a new big thaw.

Last Friday, The Biden Administration designated Marc Fogel as a wrongful detainee. 

If you’re not familiar with Fogel’s case, he’s a US citizen who was arrested over three years ago in Russia for being in possession of a small amount of marijuana that he claims he was prescribed in the United States. 

Hopefully, this means that the lines of communication between Biden and Russia are still open, and there’s an opportunity to double down on the August exchange that brought home three Americans. Even if the Biden administration fails to bring additional Americans home before January 20th, the designation will carry over to the next administration and will be a clear signal of support for their families. 

But we are disappointed that Fogel is seemingly the only American held in Russia who has received wrongful detainee status since August. Why Fogel? His case is the loudest. 

Since his arrest, Fogel has received tremendous media coverage, largely thanks to his tremendous network of friends and family who have amplified his story. With your support, we hope to achieve the same for Ksenia, David, Andre, and Robert. 

That starts right now. 

Please write to the State Department and demand they do everything possible to bring David, Andre, Robert, and Ksenia home (please scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the form).

Dear President Biden and Secretary of State Blinken,

The media has reported that you designated Marc Fogel as a wrongful detainee. I sincerely hope this is a sign that the Biden administration is actively reviewing cases and engaging with your Russian counterparts in an attempt to double down on the August 1st exchange that brought three Americans home to their families. However, there are more Americans held in Russia who need and deserve wrongful detainee status, specifically David Barnes, Robert Gilman, Andre Khachatoorian, and Ksenia Karelina. You can learn more about their cases at AmericansLeftBehind.us.

Sending a strong message to the country and the world that Americans don’t leave Americans behind is a powerful way to end your historic administration. Please don’t let David, Robert, Andre, and Ksenia down.

Griner release puts spotlight on other detained Americans

Griner release puts spotlight on other detained Americans

(NewsNation) — As Brittney Griner’s family celebrates her return, there’s another family in a complete opposite situation: the family of Marc Fogel. He’s a 61-year-old American school teacher who has been held prisoner in Russia since last year. He was sentenced to 14 years in prison after being caught with 17 grams of cannabis that was medically prescribed by his doctors. Why hasn’t Fogel’s name…

Saturday Morning Rant

Choosing today’s Saturday morning rant was a toss-up between the FBI and Brittney Griner. But because there’s sooooo many things wrong with our FBI – and their illegal act of raiding a former president’s home – the rants we’ve heard about them are waaaaayyyy too long for this post. So, let’s go with the rant about the O’Biden crew wanting to release a Russian arms dealer and murder (Victor Bout) in return for WNBA/national anthem hater, Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan…while ignoring Marc Fogel. Today’s rant is brought to you by:  CovidBannedTard. The idea that they’re even considering releasing the ‘God of War Merchant of Death’ dude in a swap is crazy. The difference being, the 2 Americans knowingly flew into Russia to break the law. Victor Bout was arrested in Bangkok, Thailand by the FBI for being #1 in competition to American arms sales globally…. the US government went after him for business reasons. The crying liberals keep saying “all of these that are wrongfully detained need to come home.” Bulls**t…they weren’t “wrongfully detained.” Griner and Fogel were both caught red-handed with drugs. Paul Whelan was caught red-handed performing espionage. Fogel (a US citizen and teacher) is the ‘Forgotten About’ American by both the Biden administration and the media.  And last year he was sentenced to 14 years in a Russian penal colony for possession of medical marijuana. So, basically the liberal/Griner fans are saying that a black, lesbian, anti-American pot head basketball player is worth more than a low paid pot head American teacher. And because she’s a black, lesbian, drug user, she qualifies as the posterchild of the Democratic party. My question is: what about all the Americans that are currently incarcerated (many thanks to Kamala Harris) for minor marijuana charges? Do they really deserve to be in prison in America?
