Current Events, History, and the Nature of Reality
Bruce de Torres is the author of GOD, SCHOOL, 9/11 AND JFK: The Lies That Are Killing Us and The Truth That Sets Us Free, marketing director for TrineDay Publishing, and host of Reality With Bruce de Torres.
As an actor he had lead roles in comedies, dramas, and musicals in New York City and around the U.S. As an entrepreneur he hosted hundreds of business networking meetings as he developed his marketing, sales, and public speaking skills.
9/11 woke him up to the players behind the scenes. American history continues to inspire him.
He wrote a book called GOD, SCHOOL, 9/11 AND JFK. Great reviews at brucedetorres.com. Came out in 2021. Kris Millegan at TrineDay published it. Huge honor. Bruce had been reading his books for years. "Books that challenge official history."
Then he helped Kris launch THE JOURNEY podcast and started making art, ads, and videos for the books, and for TrineDay's monthly (Zoom) Roundtables, which Bruce moderates, where experts discuss JFK's peace plan and Henry George's economics, which create prosperity wherever they are used. (Many of the Roundtables are on YouTube, on the channel: Valediction Vision.)
Then on weekends Bruce hosted a livestreaming show on TNT for 15 months, interviewing about 170 truth-tellers, including Dr. Meryl Nass, Dr. Naomi Wolf, Steve Kirsch, Dr. Jim Thorp, and Vera Schara. (Budget cuts ended the show.)
Now Bruce has launched his own show, Reality With Bruce de Torres, to continue the conversation about current events, history, and the nature of reality - livestreaming at Facebook.com/brucedetorres2 (with the videos going on Rumble.com; search for Reality With Bruce de Torres).

55 Martin Sieff: Trillion-Dollar Military Budget Dooms the Trump Presidency
Martin Sieff is a senior fellow at the American University in Moscow; former Adjunct Professor of Transnational Threats at Bay Atlantic University; Chief Foreign Correspondent for The Washington Times; Managing Editor, International Affairs, for United Press International, and UPI's chief news analyst for 10 years.
He has written many books, including CYCLES OF CHANGE, a political history of the United States from Thomas Jefferson to Barack Obama. His seminars on American and World History can be found on YouTube, on the channel: Rising Tide Foundation.
Martin has received three Pulitzer Prize nominations for International Reporting. His most recent writings/articles can be found on a site based in Italy called Pluralia.com/en.
We discussed:
Trump’s new trillion-dollar military budget. “It is infantile. It is childish. It is a catastrophe. It dooms the Trump presidency.”
Much of Trump’s chaos is in good causes. The federal government does need to be enormously pruned. But he’s not doing it. Because the biggest budget item is the defense budget. It’s really the Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Northrop Grumman budget for weapons system we will not have for another 20 to 30 years, and even then, they will be delayed for another 20 years, and even then, they will cost 100 times the trillion dollars a year that will go into them now, and even then, they will not work. That is the track record of American weapons systems over the last 30 or 40 years.
Trump and Musk swore they would swing the axe. These are lies. Simple lies.
The Securities and Exchange Commission is essential. It has been hideously understaffed for the last 25 years since the ghastly George W. Bush cut it to the bone and castrated it in 2001. And then his repulsive senior officials who destroyed the SEC got even more fat-cat money which none of them deserved by writing articles for Forbes Magazine and The Wall Street Journal, saying that the SEC could not do its job and had to be cut even further, when they had destroyed it and gutted it in the first place.
Now the same thing is happening to the Food and Drug Administration. All the essential agencies, hundreds of thousands of employees, are being gutted. Millions of families are being impoverished, because Elon Musk loves standing in front of an audience of yahoos waving a chainsaw.
Musk is a smart engineer, but he didn’t foresee that Trump’s tariff maneuvers would hurt Tesla’s stock. He has lost $800 billion dollars in the last four months. Not real money. Stock market money.
With Trump declaring that the military budget will be one trillion dollars, Martin foresees total economic collapse, because Trump is ignoring Wall Street, which ties in with how tariffs were brought in.
Martin is generally a tariffs man, making the case for tariffs very strongly over the last 20 years. The best use of them is to protect American industry from unfair competition, which has destroyed American industry for the past 50 years. Our enemies haven’t done this (Russia, China, etc.). It’s our allies who have done this.
We have allowed unlimited imports from Japan, Korea, China, and the West European nations, including Britain. They all have high tariff barriers to protect their manufactured goods from our exports.
