“…Münzenberg’s first idea was to create and sustain a world-wide anti-American campaign that would focus its appeal upon the mythology of its immigration. The purpose of such a campaign would be to instill a reflexive loathing of the United States and its people as a prime tropism of left-wing enlightenment. To undermine the myth of the Land of Opportunity, the United States would be shown as an almost insanely xenophobic place, murderously hostile to foreigners.”
-Stephen Koch
“The dissolution of the Soviet Union and opening up of China was not the defeat of Communism. In fact, it set the stage for the ULTIMATE TRIUMPH of Communism and the TOTAL defeat of capitalism.”
-John Jackman, Communist[i]
We are about to find out if the post-Constitutional American order is sufficiently entrenched. Will Cackling Barbie win the presidency? Or will she lose? The best polls, and the best pollsters, say she is going to lose. Of course, she does not need to win the election to become president. She merely needs a sufficiently adept “cheat machine.” Anyone who looks closely at recent elections knows there has been systemic cheating.
Why would any American vote for someone like Harris? Naturally, a self-hating American would vote for Harris. Also, a disoriented American might vote for Harris. What Harris wants, then, is a country of self-hating and/or disoriented citizens. She also wants citizens who believe their votes are being counted honestly.
The anti-American stereotypes of today, which form the basis of American self-hatred, were originally birthed by Willi Münzenberg, a German communist and friend of Vladimir Lenin who held leadership posts within the Communist International (Comintern). Working in Moscow after the Bolshevik Revolution, Münzenberg helped to shape Moscow’s culture war strategy. As a propagandist, he made the world’s most immigrant-friendly country (America) into a leftist byword for xenophobia. It was, indeed, his propaganda campaign related to the Sacco and Vanzetti case, which left longstanding marks on left-wing psychology. Sacco and Vanzetti were Italian immigrants and anarchists sent to the electric chair for murdering Alessandro Berardelli and Frederick Parmenter during a 15 April 1920 armed robbery. Münzenberg devised propaganda supporting the innocence of Sacco and Vanzetti. With help from liberals, communist agitation/propaganda turned the case into a celebrated story of American injustice toward poor immigrants. The relevance of this can be seen today when we look at America’s open border to the south. One hundred years ago the communists depicted America exactly as the left depicts the MAGA movement today: as racist, corrupt, and hostile to foreigners.
According to Stephen Koch, the communist movement sought to develop a kind of moral authority through “the propaganda of righteous politics. It sought not the outright destruction of the American democracy, however much that might be desired, but practical influence on its culture, the placement of agents who would over the long term seek to smooth and promote the advance of Soviet influence and assist the apparatus in its work of espionage.”[ii]
Arguably, the practical influence gained over decades of active measures has led to very real political results. Today there is a lot of contempt for “middle America,” and the old-fashioned values of “fly-over country.” Many on the left are afraid of the right, even though most of America’s traditional institutions have been subverted and are run by leftists. Paranoia remains high, despite recent successes. This paranoia is reflected in the leftist claim that America is racist, sexist, and imperialist.
Koch wrote, “The Marxist-Leninist political culture … is typically a playground for paranoiacs – that is one reason why a man like Stalin flourished within it.”[iii] Paranoiacs are always projecting their own evil intentions onto others. Since communists are always plotting subversion, they are now worried about subversion against themselves.
Of course, a new kind of communism is pushing up into the right itself. Consider the case of John Jackman, whose tweet is quoted above. Jackman knows the dissolution of the Soviet Union was part of a larger plan. He knows the opening of China was not a capitalist victory. Here we have someone on the communist side who sees the big picture. And where does that lead him?
To MAGA.
The two most prominent spokesmen for MAGA communism are former Bernie bro Jackson Hinckle and Haz Al-Din. And they have skyrocketed to fame, being invited to Tucker Carlson’s show as guests. They are pro-Putin and pro-Beijing. Trump’s former national security advisor Michael Flynn has praised them. Naturally, they are allies of the Russian “philosopher” Alexander Dugin, who met with them in Moscow earlier this year. Hinckle and Al-Din support Trump because Trump’s followers represent the American working class. Their communism is of the old-fashioned Stalinist variety: masculine and opposed to “liberal distractions” like climate change and racial justice. Breaking with the trajectory of Münzenberg’s anti-Americanism they do not care about immigrants or America-bashing. They are what we might call “pro-American” communists who nontheless side with America’s foreign enemies.[iv]
It is curious that Hinkle and Al-Din have gotten so much publicity. During an interview with comedian Jimmy Dore, they admitted to being provocateurs. To support Donald Trump and Kim Jong-Un at the same time is more than a provocation. It is an inversion. And what do these provocateurs say about Donald Trump? Al-Din told an interviewer, “We have a saying, as MAGA communists, which is that when you go to McDonalds, you don’t go for the clown, you go for the burger.”[v]
Nearly everyone misunderstands MAGA communism because MAGA communism is simply another “game within a game.” It is a further attempt to disorient the public. Of course, MAGA communism is boring because lies are boring. Take a look:
Link —
The story of MAGA communism is a small story. Yet it illustrates how novelty and publicity can be used to misdirect and confuse the public mind. Across the political spectrum America is a country where we find a lot of confusion. The left is confused, and the right is confused. A lot of disinformation has been taken in.

Great article, Jeff. Reminds me of my brother-in-law in Australia. He’s a conservative Christian, pro-Trump, but extremely anti-Ukraine and pro-Putin, whom he believes is also a conservative Christian. He told me that Putin is going to launch nuclear weapons into Europe, which will save the world from the clutches of the WEF. He also believes the US is full of greedy capitalists who prey upon the masses. When it comes to economics, he sounds like a full-on communist. It’s shocking to hear. I also don’t think he would shed any tears at the downfall of the US— until Chinese troops marched into Canberra, perhaps.
Another of my Australian friends, also pro-Trump, has confirmed most of these views. It’s shocking to me that conservative Christians can buy into all the “greedy capitalist” propaganda so easily. They no longer seem to identify it as a leftist belief. It has become conservative, likely through the subversion, or inversion, process you described above. I feel like these types of views are even more prevalent overseas than they are here in the US, possibly because there are so few conservative Christians overseas (in Western countries, at least), which seems to leave them more vulnerable to propaganda. I would definitely call my brother-in-law a MAGA communist.
K: Your testimonial on this score is sobering. Yes, we see the ideological disorientation working. They have actually turned people into enemies of themselves. It’s amazing what information warfare can do. On our side, where are the leaders? Where are the watchmen? Weapons can only defend you if you can tell friend from foe, if you know what your side stands for. People today are totally turned around.
Yes. These propagandists manipulating conservative Australians may eventually have them cheering when Communist China rolls their tanks into Canberra— if they believe they’re being saved from the WEF, or whatever other useful bogeyman the communists conjure in the meantime. And a good portion of moderates/leftists in Australia are already pro-CCP, thanks to leftist propaganda and high immigration rates (from China). So this is a major point of convergence for both the Left and Right in that country.
Australia was politically targeted by China, and it is shocking to see how successful the communists have been. Down under is going under.
Jeff, you are one of the watchmen. If only more would listen!!
People are so close to the truth, but so far away in many cases. The new narratives keep spinning them off onto false trails.
Dear K, I agree 100% with your assessment. I migrated to Australia from Poland in November 1985, exactly forty years ago. Because of my experience of living under the whip and the boot of a communo-fascist regime I have always existed politically on the conservative side of political barricade in Australia and I abhor anything that stinks any sort of collectivism. Since, perhaps, two last decades I was observing with trepidation how the Aussie conservatives are sinking ever deeper into an intellectual sewer.
And that is particularly visible in their approach to the neo Bolshevik invasion of Ukraine.
At the beginning of this year I wrote few letters to our conservative senators and journalists in which I spoke about the possible danger of the incoming Grand Solar Minimum but I also touched the subject of the Putinist Russia’s behavior on the world’s stage as those two matters are interwoven (even if indirectly) with each other.
Those conservative and highly patriotic senators like Malcolm Roberts, Alex Antic, former conservative senator Cory Bernardi and even the senator Ralph Babet from my own party United Australia Party show the breathtaking ignorance when the subject of Ukraine is being touched.
Colonel Ricardo Bosi, former commander of the Australian elite SAS forces and a founder of a tiny Australia One party has gained my respect for his courageous fight against draconian COVID restrictions inflicted on Australian people.
Few months ago I watched his short video in which he praised Putin whom he described as a fighter against the “globalist cabal”.
At the beginning of this year I also saw former deputy Prime Minister in John Howard’s government, John Anderson interviewing “prof” John Mearsheimer about the war Russia is waging against Ukraine and I was shocked by Anderson’s complete lack of preparedness and lack of basic knowledge of that subject. No wonder that he allowed Mearsheimer to brainwash him nearly completely. I wrote the letter to Anderson in which I presented my opinion and proposed him to discuss that matter but I’ve never received any response from him.
I’m writing about those people because they represent the best of the best political human material in our country and have a powerful influence on the shape of its’ political narrative.
And as we turn to Trump; we all desperately hope that Trump will win this election because the entire future of the Western civilization is at stake. However, if he abandons Ukraine it will be the most abhorrent act of betrayal of an ally since the abandonment of Vietnam. It will also be a profoundly self destructive act for Americas well. We have very strong basis to assume that the heroic resistance Ukraine puts on against the neo Bolshevik Russia has, at least, postponed the thermonuclear attack on America itself.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look optimistic as Trump is surrounding himself with the ignoramuses who advocate exactly that, like Vance, Vivek Ramaswamy, Tucker Carlson. There are also circulating rumors that he is planning to ask Ron Paul to join his team. Ron Paul, while he is an excellent figure as a fiscal conservative is also a complete isolationist loon.
Those people never learn an if the isolationist faction wins we will see an even greater tragedy in the near future.
Regards – Bogdan
Thank you for commenting, Bogdan— I was hoping you would. Back in 2000-2001, I lived in Australia with my husband, who’s originally from Sydney. I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment of the political leadership there. There seems to be a complete lack of understanding of foundational conservative principles, both among the ruling class and the general population. The way the government was able to completely overstep its bounds during Covid was right out of “1984.” If only the Australian Constitution had been amended with a Bill of Rights similar to the US Constitution when it was ratified. And if only the Australian people had not so readily surrendered their arms after that mass shooting in Tasmania in the 90’s. Very few there seem to understand the concept of personal armament as a deterrent both to government overreach and an invading army. The thought of being attacked militarily has literally never crossed their minds. I’m thankful that more is being spent now on defense, but concerned that it might be too little, too late. Australia is one of the most beautiful and unique countries in the world. It is a jewel in the Pacific. I fear it has not escaped the covetous gaze of Xi Jinping.
Bogdan, if you have not considered running for office, I would strongly encourage you to. A voice like yours would be absolutely invaluable there in Australia at this moment in time. Your past life in Poland has given you the ability to speak with an authority that others do not possess with regards to communism. I’m thankful to hear you’re writing letters to politicians, as well. I hope you will redouble your efforts— I’m sure they’re making more of a difference than you know.
And I had not heard that Trump was considering asking Ron Paul to join his team! That’s very unfortunate to hear! Ron Paul is right up there with Tucker Carlson— trips to Moscow, meetings with government officials, wining and dining with the oligarchs. He is totally compromised. Russia has really stepped up their game this political cycle when it comes to infiltrating Trump’s campaign. Yes, it will be an unconscionable tragedy if we abandon Ukraine, and Europe. I pray we will stay the course.
What a sad state of affairs that so many countries, including Australia, outsourced their defenses to the United States government! If only the decline of the US had been more gradual— there would have been time for other countries to build up their defenses. I continue to pray that by some miracle there will still be time. Perhaps China’s internal problems will delay their sinister plans, whatever they may be.
Until the next time we speak, Bogdan, you have my regards.
Yes. Ron Paul is one of those useful idiot libertarians.
Bogdan: you are describing a conservative syndrome which was first observable in the older conservatives here in the USA during the late 1980s. Vladimir Bukovsky was the first to mock the West’s anticommunists for it. But they waved him off. “Bukovsky is bitter because he was in the gulag and won’t forget and forgive,” they said. But Bukovsky was right. As most all succumbed to Gorbachev’s charm offensive, their hollowness and intellectual shallowness burst forth into outright adoption of the new communist line. Their deeds contradicted thirty years of fine words. I could barely believe the complete transformation of all the major anticommunists into gloating panderers. I thought to myself, “They are all fools. They are all frauds. None really knew the enemy.” And now they actively join the enemy. The psychology of it teaches a major lesson about human nature. People who are success-oriented, as those who led the conservative movement were, are always about image. And so, they were defeated by an image; that is, the image of the Berlin Wall coming down.
@Jeff I am not sure if everyone succumbed to Gorbachev’s grimace so willingly. Helmut Kohl was an absolute anti-communist and was even more stubborn in that respect than for his conservatism. But the Stasi had him in their hands with his secret fund. Too cowardly or whatever his other reason for not making his misconduct public, he let the communists lead him around by the nose and acted like a Gorbi-maniac. I don’t know whether Dietrich Genscher was also under the thumb of the communists. Nevertheless, they thwarted the communists’ plans by rushing through the partial reunification of central and western Germany.
In addition, we must not forget that many internationally active entrepreneurs wanted to enjoy the fat morsel of Eastern Europe all the way to China and put pressure on politicians to be more considerate towards communism.
The greed of these entrepreneurs and philanthropists, who turned into world leaders, caused the masses to freeze in rapture and fall under the yoke of international communism – where we all still find ourselves today.
I am currently reading a biography about “Walter Eucken” … one of the oft-quoted fathers of the German economic miracle and pioneer of the (German) social market economy. What the Anglo-Americans accomplished with great bravura, the decoupling of German politics and entrepreneurship (and which was the real reason for the German economic miracle), was transformed into the Marxian-style welfare state by an untainted Walter Eucken – he was not a National Socialist but stood through and through for the international socialism of Saint Simon. The communists Willi Brandt and Egon Bahr then made Germany ready for takeover in the spirit of the Chinese-Soviet long-term plan.
Dear K, thank you for your friendly response. During the lest Australian election that were held three years ago (if I remember well) I was pretty active on behalf of my party United Australia but on the basic level, distributing leaflets within my district and then at the entrance to the polling station. However, I have no plans to fight for any office. I’m “a bit” too “old” for such an activity and I wouldn’t be able to build up any voting base in the current political climate. I regard myself also as a kind of a “free electron” and describe myself as an “accidental, perfunctory and chaotic armchair, strategic analyst”.
After the election, our representative (who, unfortunately lost it) held a party for the activists like myself. It was a meeting of very lovely, friendly, patriotic people very concerned about the future of their country. However, any attempt to engage them in any sort of discussion about “strategics”, even in a light and entertaining fashion was doomed as they showed no interest in pondering them. I could virtually see my message entering one ear to escape the other without making a stop to live in their brains even for a while.
Such a reaction is typical for the people who have never experienced any sort of danger, slavery or any restriction to their freedom. Even the draconian, inhuman restrictions inflicted during the COVID scam have already been forgotten.
As a prospective, political figure I wouldn’t stand a chance.
Kind regards – Bogdan
I made it to the 11:34 mark on the Hinkle interview and I can’t stomach anymore. Thank you for posting tonight as it is much needed.
Hinkle is sickening. Such lies. Such insincerity. So boring.
This happened on Saturday:
“Man accused of attempting to use weapon of mass destruction to destroy Nashville energy facility, DOJ says.
“As he was arrested, the DOJ alleged he was at the rear of a vehicle with the drone powered up and the explosive device was armed and located next to the drone.”
https://www.wsmv.com/2024/11/04/man-accused-attempting-use-weapon-mass-destruction-destroy-nashville-energy-facility-doj-says/
Fox News just picked up the story. There are more details in this article:
https://www.foxnews.com/us/fbi-thwarts-mans-alleged-plan-attack-nashville-power-grid-explosive-laden-drone.amp
This story looks like some kind of framing.
I’m assuming you mean framing as in the propaganda technique (as opposed to framing for a crime one didn’t commit)? Are you saying that regarding the latter story claiming he’s a right-wing neo-Nazi? If so I thought that too. Seems to me more the type of thing an anarchist might do to try to disrupt the election. Apparently he made posts on X showcasing his weapons. But those could easily have been faked and put up a day or two ago.
Framing is a technique used in Soviet active measures. It is used to reframe the context of major issues.
Enlightening as always Jeff. Thank you. When I read the Guardian article you linked to in the notes, I couldn’t help but think of Golitsyn’s writings on convergence.
“I was always sympathetic to Maga, but I’d also liked some of what Bernie Sanders had been saying around the time of his campaign,” Joseph said. “
It’s the same old socialist disease.
Trevor Loudon’s debate against Haz demonstrated the vacuousness of the latter, and going full bore – loudly – against his prevarication unsettled Haz’ demure affectation. Hinkle’s marriage to the Russian fashion model fell through last I heard.
In any case, The Team House (former SOF, US & UK hosts) were unsettled in their interview with former KGB Illegal Jack Barsky when he brought up the strategy of Convergence specifically (about 1 hour in), and framing the country and the right being naive about recent developments. Barsky was asked how he received the news of the USSR ‘falling’ at the time, stating that he had to process it slowly (coming to knowledge of the Soviet depredations) for fear of snapping; Barksy had a family to consider, and contrived to ‘resign’ by telling his handlers that he had contracted AIDS– but the hosts failed to follow up on what happened to those that snapped, or ideological die-hards that never gave up the cause.

Raskin’s 14th Amendment ‘sedition’ cant, newscasters parroting “treason! insurrection!” What is the worst case scenario if they are bold? Scott Adams floated installing Citizen K. with a Bidenenko stepdown (or medical incident), and using the Executive to railroad acceleration to civil unrest, “kick the dog until it bites– then shoot it” style. The lackadaisical hurricane response at least passively demonstrates a willingness to cause more death . . . The National Guard mobilizations in the Pacific Northwest don’t inspire confidence, nor Washington D.C. retail being boarded up. On the other hand, there was James Carvil the other week dropping F-bombs on high level Kamala strategists getting leaked to the press . . . and Musk teasing the Epstein list coming out being a motivator for the hysterics going on in the Tucker interview . . . Trump & RFK sat on the presence of substantial MLK Jr. assassination material in the JFK files too long, leaning on this aspect would have highly motivated at least several more percentage points among Black men at least.
Very insightful post, Ollie. We must remember the old Leninist tactic of “kick the dog until he bites — then shoot him.” It was a major tactic in the Russian Civil War for “cleansing” conservative sections of the country.
Hi Ollie,
Can you or Jeff explain the Citizen K reference? I saw a movie on YouTube a couple nights ago titled Citizen K about a Russian oligarch. I haven’t watched it yet, but that makes 2 times in less than 1 week I have seen this reference.
I believe Citizen K is Mikhail Khordorkovsky. He is a former Russian oligarch in the energy sector. He was jailed for a considerable period of time and then released. He gives interviews and is anti-Puin.
Since the main enemy was and still is, of the communists (Moscow, Beijing), the United States, the communists and communist agents, ever since the time they conceived this part of their worldwide communist domination strategy, they gave the order to sent into the US all possible agents and personnel they could, under the cover of immigrants and honest working men, family men, to establish their own colony within the US for future operations.
This has been going on since the time of Lenin and Stalin, and every corner of the world where the Communist Party was founded and thus Moscow has its own fighting division there, these communist fanatics were ordered to pick such like elements from within their ranks and supply them with necessary training and resources to come to the US and become the many sleeper cells and engage in various communist operations.
You can see that on their background, for example on this Kam-bla-bla’s family history, and where such agents usually end up ? – in teaching positions of the state run educational abomination, which is not real education but perversion of it of the highest order, since the communists always sought to lay hands on its main leadership positions…and the rest is is visible today – so when people came to the US in the 1930s and after the war, they were among them communists infiltrators task by the Party to infest the US with this evil atheistic ideology of the devil and to continue grinding the minds of the population by teaching their offspring and entire generations to become communist sympathizers and communists themselves.
And since they succeeded in infiltrating and taking over the Democrat Party, they control the country through such assets and thus they cannot be defeated as they are almost in every place of the government down to the local county levels and it is sometimes very hard to recognize them because they are capable (and trained by the Party) to play the role of the most “conservative” people possible, but they are still communists and when the proper time come to prove that, they will be the worst kind of traitors America has ever seen and known.
So it really doesn’t matter whether they win or loose today, because overall they know that the seed of evil is sown and nothing can stop its growth because no-one will pluck it by the roots and eliminate its communist atheistic stink – and the tragically naive liberal permissiveness of allowing this evil nihilistic ideology to flourish under the guise of that false and thus perverted liberty to do as one pleases, including to be actively and in the public sphere a communist criminal, that will pay great dividends to the Moscow strategy to take over the whole world and enslave it by communism, which strategy is nearly victorious today, the Gramscian scheme through the possession of the minds of the entire peoples, to drive them into blind acceptance of communist “values” and policies as part of their own country’s laws and life…this is the situation today.
If it wasn’t, KGB assets as Biden and Harris and Obama and all of that horrible communist agents infested Democrat establishment wouldn’t be allowed to sit where they are, at the helm of the government and its agencies and all branches, because then the country would be protected by sound policy of justice and true punishment of such traitors and communist spies and agents, eliminating their evil works before they bring forth the fruits of destruction…and today is too late, it should have been done at the time of the Russian Bolshevik revolution.
The following is one voice in the darkness (except this blog and perhaps some others to the extent of their limitations) but watch to the end to see it, and the blind reaction of the host who is clueless about what he has just heard…that is already the victory of Moscow in the US, the actual possession of the minds of the people !

Yes, they do seem to float in and out of teaching positions.
@CONCERNED Cultural Marxism does not focus on revolutions, but on reforms. Its target audience is not the workers, but the intellectuals. Marx himself was an intellectual, not a labor leader. In his theses on Feuerbach, he wrote: “Philosophers have only interpreted the world in different ways; the important thing is to change it.” It is the philosophers, the intellectuals, to whom Marx assigns the task of changing the world. The most important thinker of cultural Marxism was Antonio Gramsci.
His strategy was to win over the intellectuals to Marxism and with their help to infiltrate the culture and institutions of the bourgeoisie, schools, universities, churches, the legal system and the media. In this way, Marxism was to gain ideological hegemony. Gramsci viewed socialism as “precisely the religion that must overcome Christianity.” He recognized that every society needs an ideological pillar. In Western bourgeois society, this is traditionally Christianity. Gramsci wanted to replace it with socialism and thus destroy bourgeois society.
In the 1960s, the Marxist philosophers and sociologists of the Frankfurt School, Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, Herbert Marcuse and Jürgen Habermas, built on Gramsci’s ideas. The critical theory developed by the Frankfurt School aims to criticize the capitalist system from A to Z, to denigrate capitalism and to turn its successes into negative ones. For example, people’s enormous consumption possibilities are reinterpreted as consumer terror. Such negative connotations and the constant criticism of the existing conditions are intended to undermine people’s trust in the capitalist system. The ideas of the Frankfurt School are still effective today, not only in Europe but above all in the USA.
There is the Democratic Socialists of America movement. Its figureheads, the old communist Bernie Sanders and the activist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, enjoy enormous popularity. It is probably only a matter of time before this movement spills over into Europe and gains importance here (Germany is still not completely in their hands – and the communist trio that is currently ‘leading’ Germany is already feeling its own demise (- similar to 1982 – when the so-called liberal party had already renounced socialism- and no worries if the triumvirate goes to hell or not…afterwards a new, communist-led team will come and continue to ram Germany into the ground. After all, it was Lenin’s claim that Germany had to become communist so that the USA could be overrun). Marxism no longer comes in army boots, but on velvet paws.
The majority of economists today see themselves as social engineers. Because they do not trust the market, they want to contain it, slow it down and correct its results. Regulatory thinking, on the other hand, is rare.
Take the LSE – the London School of Economics – which was founded at the end of the 19th century by members of the Fabian Society, an association of socialist intellectuals from the British upper class. A stained glass window in the LSE building shows two men working on the globe heated over a fire with hammers. One of the men is the playwright and Marxist George Bernard Shaw, a member of the Fabian Society and co-founder of the LSE. The window image symbolizes the strategy of the cultural Marxists. They want to soften the world with the fire of crises in order to then reshape it in their own way.
Take the discussions about saving the climate or the inequality of income and wealth. Hysteria is deliberately spread and dystopian scenarios are drawn up in order to derive an immediate need for political action. The alarmists’ demands always boil down to restricting the market, private property and people’s freedom and replacing them with central state planning. The climate issue is particularly well suited to this because the climate is a global phenomenon. It offers cultural Marxists the opportunity to fight capitalism on a global level under the guise of climate protection.
You should avoid the term Cultural Marxism because it is misleading and it seriously derogates the guilt of this atheistic diabolical communist plague, Moscow and Beijing at the helm of it.
Communist ideology is by far the worst thing that the devil invented and forced upon those who don’t love God (and much less their neighbour), and so the communists, Lenin improving the whole ideological path and strategy, using terror as its ultimate tool of enforcement and electoral cheating as a way to gain political power, when unchecked communism becomes the ruin of every nation where it gains its position.
The term cultural Marxism should be replaced by militant atheistic Bolshevism, and no matter what sugarcoating is offered to portray the communist ideology as just “another expression of thought”, it is a deadly satanic poison that must be eradicated or else the mankind will regret not doing it, in the upcoming horrible consequences.
If you had not learned this point yet, now is the time of learning it…war and worldwide famine are coming, God is offended and mankind in its refusal to obey God (and His true Church), is on the verge of major Apocalyptic catastrophe.
@CONCERNED We will not get anywhere by tinkering around with the word Bolshevism. Here in Germany, most people still know that Hitlerism was known as brown Bolshevism until June 22, 1941 (today it is called fascism, Lenin’s best friend Max Eastman called Stalinism super-fascism; a word that intellectuals today use for Hitlerism). This term brown Bolshevism was coined by the Communist International. Moreover, I do not know anyone who equates Bolshevism with Marxism-Leninism or communism, but rather with Stalinism. And the Soviet Union more than distanced itself from that after Stalin’s death. So we’re going around in circles.
In the Enlightenment, we must point out again and again that cultural Marxism is not only based on Maoism, but above all goes back to Gramsci, the Lenin disciple (perhaps you are listening to the discussion with the three Js – Jeff, Jimmy and Johnny), who made the creeping process on velvet paws (walking through the institutions) possible in the first place.
Mr Nyquist. Your discussion on Vietnam is very interesting because Vietnamese communists are quite an unknown factor in the world communist revolution. Cuban Communists control the Latin America through cartels and militias and complex network of spies/agents within North America. China and Russia are obvious superpower states. North Korea is a nuclear terrorist. However, we know nothing much about Vietnam’s and Lao’s (Vietnam’s puppet) role in the World Revolution!
Dr Li Mengyan was very perceptive because her assessment on Vietnam is generally correct. China has a tremendous hold over Vietnam through economics, while Russia holds over Vietnamese military. I don’t recall if Vietnam ever enters into any defense treaty with France which Jean Robin was likely wrong. However, it is very apparent that Vietnamese communists founded French Communist Party and actively worked with French leftists to enhance China’s control over the country of France. Vietnam currently has a shadow hand in governing Southeast Asia for China and Russia. The current leader of Vietnam is To Lam, so he is obviously a Chinese/Russian agent akin to Lula in Brazil.
I am very interested if we have any expert disclosing the roles of Vietnam in the upcoming revolution.
I have a source on Vietnam. The Vietnamese politburo is controlled by China. Vietnam should be regarded as a military adjunct to China and Russia. Vietnam has been infiltrating where it can, and making its contribution. The French-speaking world is its intelligence speciality.
@Jeff Nyquist: The scariest part is that we don’t know the full capabilities of Vietnamese communists. We only knew that they have experience of fighting against France and USA. That’s all
As you know Jeff, I wrote a paper on my Substack where I tackle China/Vietnam. Hanoi cannot be trusted to be an ally of the US. Communist governments can never EVER be trusted. See: Reconsidering America’s Partnership with Vietnam
https://substack.com/@nevingussack/p-147470171
Your research always takes us to the important facts, Nevin.
@Nevin: Excellent work.
@David Kung I think Jean Robin was referring to the Treaty of Paris of January 27, 1973 (officially known as the Agreement for the Termination of the War and the Restoration of Peace in Vietnam, which regulated the US withdrawal from the Vietnam War). The treaty was signed by North Vietnam, the US and South Vietnam.
There is still a large portion of hope… the electors https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls/general_election/index.html and we can still hope.
For Germans who are not familiar with the US electoral law and are generally misled by the German mass and alternative media:
The US president is not elected directly by the people, but by the Electoral College, which consists of 538 electors. All states have as many votes as their respective number of members of Congress (two senators plus the number of their representatives in the House of Representatives). The candidate with the most votes in the state wins all of the state’s electors.
Only in the case of the electors of Maine and Nebraska can the votes be split between different candidates.
I was listening to you on the John Moore show on Wednesday and a man called and told a story about being at a doctors office and a woman with aa advanced degree said she was voting for Kamala because she was going to bring the “joy” back to into politics. I have since learned from listening to Trevor that the word joy is a word that Mao used and made it a communist code word. I am now thinking that that woman knew what she was saying and she was not just ignorant.
Oh yes. Harris is using old Maoist slogans in her campaign. It is a case of overt signaling.
I’m so glad that Mao chose the word “joy,” and that Kamala Harris decided to use that word as a signal to other Maoists. To the rest of the country, bringing up “joy” at that moment in time made Harris look completely detached from reality. I’m sure for those currently experiencing economic hardship, it might have felt like Harris was poking fun at their plight. It started her whole campaign off on the wrong foot and made her look completely out of touch with ordinary people. How ironic for Mao to choose this word when everything about communism brings misery— the antithesis of joy. Equally ironic is the fact that this choice helped defeat one of his adherents decades later in her run for president of the United States.
Peace is war, truth is a lie, strength is weakness, and joy is misery.
Jeff, did you see that the Russians threatened to assas$inate another American president— President Trump— a few days ago?
Here’s what Medvedev was quoted as saying:
“He [Trump] can’t stop the war. Not in a day, not in three days, not in three months. And if he really tries, he could be the new JFK.”
https://x.com/gerashchenko_en/status/1853021207815471528?s=46
Medvedev is implying that the warmongers in Washington will assassinate Trump. Of course, it’s doubly ridiculous. What warmongers? What war preparations? The Pentagon is full of liberals and leftists!
I see, yes that would be what he meant. The man is a such an odd fellow that I honestly thought that might be his implication, for anyone who could read between the lines.
Medvedev is odd.
I heard that Medvedev is not the author of his writings. He is always used strategically to express the most outrageous ideas.
People like Medvedev are front men. Other people tell them what to say. Other people write their books. It’s more and more like that everywhere.
Also points to Medvedev for managing to sneak in an allusion to Tucker & co’s favorite JFK conspiracy theory. Implying that anti-communist warmongers killed the president is another way of saying that the CIA killed Kennedy. Anti-war good, pro-war bad. Either Medvedev is trolling or the Russians genuinely believe that Trump will help them.
Yes. There is this new allegation that the generals killed JFK. It has been making the rounds.
Oy veh! Another false conspiracy theory. Jeff, in previous discussions you pointed to the involvement of Castro and the KGB in the Kennedy killings, involvement backed up by investigative reporting. The KGB thought those killings important enough to risk a few of their moles, and got away with it. That information needs to get out.
Yes. I have written about this and others have posted links to sources many times. It is exhausting, but there will be more to follow.
Curious if any of Jeff’s Chinese American readers can offer perspective on Xi Jinping’s recent statement:
“How many times in life can one seize the moment to fight?”
It was reported to be regarding the economic situation in China, but not much context was given, so I’m curious to know more. Is this a common saying in China? It seems like the type of thing one might say to spur on the troops just before a conflict:
https://www.scmp.com/economy/policy/article/3283393/xi-jinping-makes-economic-centric-instructions-spur-chinas-growth?module=perpetual_scroll_0&pgtype=article
Yes, I wondered about this statement. Surely, the Chicoms are working up the nerve to some bold action. It is not easy, however, to stand against America. It is a nation that has long terrified them because it mystifies them. Freedom is something they cannot credit.
It’s not just freedom, but that the founders of our country dared to allow an armed citizenry. Most other countries disarmed their citizens. At first, the U.S. allowed not only personal arms, but even arms that were equal to the latest used by the military and canons (the equivalent to machine guns and artillery). Civilian disarmament ain’t gonna happen. The best the CCP can hope for is a civil war where they can join the chaos. Even that would be bold action, because the numbers are against them. No, there’s not a “rifle behind every blade of grass”, but the CCP can land only at most a few millions of front line troops, against whom are found 75 million veterans and long range hunters, not counting other civilians. So even joining a civil war is long odds, but they just might pull it off. It is that hope that may trigger them to attempt an invasion.
Yes. This is a real problem for any invader.
On this Marxist-Leninist site, ProleWiki, MAGA Communism is described as:
“…an alt-right, neo-fascist subset of the patriotic socialist movement in the United States and an online slogan which calls for the unification of so-called “Marxists” and the reactionary MAGA movement in order to oppose the “globalist elite….”
Amazing that the Marxists are describing a communist movement within MAGA as “neo-fascist”! This is essentially a totalitarian multi-brand strategy— all avenues lead to enslavement!
https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/MAGACommunism
Absolutely!
Our precinct down here in solid red and very conservative South Central Kentucky was very busy this late morning!
CMA. I DIDN’T KNOW YOU LIVED IN KENTUCKY!! I LIVE IN EASTERN KY, LAWRENCE COUNTY/BOYD COUNTY. IT HAS BEEN SOMEWHAT A TOTAL WILD DAY, IT WAS 85 DEGREES HERE IN ASHLAND WHEN THE POLLS CLOSED AT SIX P.M.
What is the best way to deal with traitorous disinformers without giving them the aura of being persecuted by the Government and therefore making them more interesting to the public?
Treason is a capital crime. If people have committed treason, they should be prosecuted. But if treason cannot be proven, we have a problem (or maybe they are innocent). Proof comes through intellectual clarity, proper investiative methods, and reason. This is where we have been slipping. A lot of things should be common knowledge, but they are not. A lot of things should be common sense, but they are not. People are unable to form the right context for arranging facts.
@CMA, that’s great to hear! I live in a semi-rural area on the outskirts of a large Midwestern city, and we’re split about 50-50 Democrats-Republicans. When I pulled up to the polling station, a homeschool mom in a minivan with five children in tow had just parked. All around me were pickup trucks and minivans. Only one car and one SUV that I could see. No Priuses (apologies to any conservative Prius owners). No rainbow bumper stickers to be seen. Just cowboy boots and kids in tow. The person in front of me and the person behind me were both first-time voters. Usually I’m the only one there when I vote, but today there was a line. Now I can see firsthand why Democrats are worried! This is the silent majority.
@K That is encouraging to hear! I think the Republicans are coming out in droves! We have a long way to go but some hopeism isn’t all bad.
A few days ago I heard a private pollster comment that Arlington, Virginia, where he lives, is bristling with Trump signs. He described Arlington as a “communist compound.”
I think Trump has just won the election, which is very good news because it is a clean win. Very very good news.
I’m sure you’ve already covered it in depth somewhere, but I’m curious what your thoughts are on women’s right to vote. It seems a little wrong to me that women get to vote but the men have to fight the wars. Maybe they should only let mothers vote or something.
The thought of a bunch of young, unintelligent, single women voting for someone who damages national security is disturbing to me. They don’t have to live with the harsh consequences. Fighting age men and their families do, however. It doesn’t really seem right. Just thinking out loud here.
Voting rights is a tricky question. Should we allow homeless people to vote, who would be inclined to vote for greater benefits from people who work? To your point, men have to fight wars. They have to carry the burden of fighting enemies. Women can come and vote against the military budget. They can vote for disarmament, thinking that war is stupid. I have heard many women — my own mother included, — say that war is stupid. But that is like being against umbrellas because the rain is stupid. Also, this idea of legalizing the killing of unborn infants is pushed by feminists and favored by women voters. I’m afraid the numbers suggest that our society is being upended by demagogic issues that appeal to women. And it is a demagogy against motherhood. Why do women buy into it? Well, they are taught these things in school. Now we have a falling birthrate. And that is going to destroy us if nothing else does. From a sociological standpoint, feminism is destroying us as a culture and a nation.
Communists/socialists have historically backed feminism…but the way the vote is shaking out tonight…looks like majority of voters have rejected identity and gender politics pushed by the far left. That’s encouraging.
It is good news.
Black men are never going to decide to vote for an Indian woman by being chastised by a Black woman [Michelle Obama] for being racist! 😂 I can’t believe they ever thought that was a winning strategy!! I’m literally still laughing!
Oops, just reread this, I meant a lack of solidarity, not racism lol. And she accused them of sexism to boot. Michelle Obama may have won Trump quite a few Black male voters.
The left has no sense of proportion.
There is an interesting historical reference as to why women’s suffrage came about in the book “The Toxic War on Masculinity” by Nancy Pearcey, pp. 99–100. Originally the vote was limited to those who owned property. Most property owners were also family men who voted for the common good of the family. In fact, most women preferred it that way. They believed that strong families are the bedrock of a good society. They saw that their lack of the vote helped strengthen the family unit.
The change came when men without property, wives and children, were given the vote. Men were no longer expected to vote for the good of society and the family. That’s when women decided that they needed a vote to represent themselves. This change from the vote representing families and society, to representing individuals, is the problem.
What to do about it? I don’t know. I know personally time and again I have been pitched to vote a certain way because it would benefit me as an individual, but I saw that such a vote would be bad for society. How many follow the selfish route?
New York Times is projecting a Trump win with 279 electoral votes:
https://x.com/sentdefender/status/1853980722836525562?s=46
If leftist newspapers are predicting a Trump win, it will probably happen. It seems the left is not so enthused about cheating on a massive scale to help their candidate cross the finish line this time. However Trump’s comfortable win may come at a cost, in that he and his soft-on-Russia advisors will interpret this as clear support for their anti-Ukraine proposals.
I agree LauraZ. But I think their massive cheating was successful in 2020 because of Covid times. Further, even tho’ judges didn’t want to accept jurisdiction when lawsuits were brought, millions of people read the stories about all the shenanigans and the Dem’s games were exposed. People are watching them. Perhaps the masses of normal Dems see their own leaders’ naked corruption and hollow lies. Hard to be enthusiastic and energized by lies.
I have a friend who is a staunch Jewish Democrat. We rarely talk about politics, but he said something startling when I said I hope the elections will be safe and secure. He said, “Given all that Trump has gone through, we should just let this cycle go and focus on 2028.”
That’s an interesting quote.
Maybe Russian thinks the war will be more easily won if Trump is reelected. Could that be?
Jeff, are you taking this as a sign that Russia actually wanted Trump elected? I think this kind of voter turnout was simply too big to rig. It looks to me like the Russians are just hedging their bets, surrounding Trump with people like Tucker Carlson, RFK Jr, Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk, and now possibly Ron Paul.
That’s the beauty of the American system, is it’s so very difficult to rig. They got lucky in 2020. I’m shocked we didn’t have another pandemic this past year, actually, to try to increase mail-in voting even more and scare people away from observing the polls.
Unfortunately the most likely thing may be that the Russians and Chinese don’t particularly care who wins, if they’re planning to attack before the inauguration. That possibility is so concerning. I do feel like the hand of God was in this outcome, though, so I guess we’ll see what happens.
It’s funny about the missing 15-21 million Democratic voters in this election. Why did Hillary and Kamala get 15-20 million fewer votes than Biden? Was Biden such an exciting and energizing character that 15-20 million more came out for HIM? I think the numbers here will look odd for decades to come. You have these loose mail-in ballots in 2020 and the Democratic vote goes up by 15 million and then down by 20 million in 2024. Can anybody explain it? Well, perhaps Kamala is just a poor candidate — which she was. Insincerity is never a good look.
Yes indeed, and the networks are delaying the call of the final states to put Trump’s fans out of patience.
The quote “It’s not the vote that matters. What matters is who counts the vote” is often attributed to Joseph Stalin, the Soviet leader, and former Cheka chief. It appears that Stalin’s actual quote, as recorded by Boris Badenov; I stand corrected… as recorded by Boris Bazhanov, his personal secretary, is slightly different:
“I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this — who will count the votes, and how.”
This quote, translated from Russian, refers to a specific vote in the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1923. I maintain that this quote demands vigilant scrutiny of the U.S. 2024 election results to assure that everything has been done on the Up and Up.
I listened to the Anti-Communist Conference today. It was excellent. The new guy you brought to the panel was very sharp. He said something about Zelensky visiting the US in September of 2021, implying that visit provoked Putin into attacking Ukraine. Can you elaborate /clarify what he is accusing Zelensky of? All I remember is Zelensky kept denying the Russians were going to invade even when they were setting up battlefield hospitals near the border.
It is one of those things I have discussed with Michael. Ukraine is not an area he knows well.
Well, his story was either true, or it was false. That’s quite a story to make up about Zelenskyy. If it was false, and it sounds like it probably was, then I don’t plan to listen to anything else he has to say, and I hope Jean Robin doesn’t invite him back.
That I don’t understand, that Zelensky’s visit would incite the Russian invasion. After all, I learned from both Russian and Ukrainian sources that the fighters in Dobass were Russian soldiers, and Crimea was occupied by Russia, therefore the invasion was already on going. What the visit may have incited is the decision for a blitzkrieg to end the low level war. Russians were already complaining that their boys in the army were being sent to Ukraine to be killed. Ukraine had captured POWs. That was already an invasion.
I agree. Michael’s statement made no sense. Ukraine is a difficult topic, and we have to be very careful when citing Ukrainian sources. Conspiracy theories are very common as part of opinion formation in former Soviet countries like Ukraine. Americans need to be more skeptical in sifting such sources of opinion in countries like Ukraine. When people live under a controlled media they develop a conspiratorial habit of mind. They distrust all official persons and processes. To reflect that paranoia unfiltered in our analysis is not appropriate, and I say this as someone who has struggled with that problem for many years.
The Russian Communists are preparing special delivery Surprise Packages for Americans and American Allies. Russia may think that the time from Now Until Inauguration Day is a Prime Time for delivering Surprise Packages.

Of interest: https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2024/11/05/us-plans-to-test-hypersonic-nuclear-missile-after-polls-close-tucker-carlson-mike-lee-want-to-know-why-n2181623
Off-topic, but…
What’s your opinion regarding the timing here, Jeff?
Jeff, do you think the test is because Israel is about to bomb the Iran nuclear sites?
My understanding is that both Israel and Iran were waiting until after the election to engage.
Timing? In what regard?
Jeff, people online were claiming the timing around the election was because they were planning to shoot the missile at Mar-a-Lago if Trump won. More communist lies…
They really want to panic people. Fear is a weapon.
The article mentioned a Minuteman II (should be III?, I believe the IIs have all long been retired). But Minutemen have been tested from Vandenburg AFB for decades. They may technically be hypersonic, but as such are not newly-developed weapons of that caliber. And being tested on election day, so what? There is no symbolic or substantive meaning to that. It would mean nothing to either the Russians or Chinese. Certainly they would not view 50-year old missiles as a new threat. They’d give it a “meh-eh” at most.
Mr. Nyquist,
Vladimir Konstantinovich Bukovsky was pained and disappointed by the Soviet Communist psychopathic maniacs evading having to answer for their crimes in a judicial forum. If Donald Trump is inaugurated in January 2025 should he make the
Apprehension and Prosecution of the U.S. Communist “Enemies Within” a Super High priority?
Excelent question !
Trump is already calling for national healing, whatever that means, so the answer is probably not, he may do some of it and fire some people, but in terms of true justice he will fail to accomplish it, meaning that no charges of high treason will be filled and no true military tribunals established…
He has even projected that he may pardon Hunter Biden for the crimes he had committed and been convicted (not yet sentenced looks like).
This is not the time to enlist oneself in the wishful thinking contest, but face the cold reality, which is the truth.
Of course true justice require true judgment, and that is today unfortunately lacking, only politics and healing, when justice is thus set aside and forgotten. No Communist Nürnberg trials, that hasn’t happen yet and only God know whether that will ever happen, the only surest justice for communist crimes is the Divine Justice of God, that never fails and is always just – infinitely so !
Yes. Communism is a philosophy which calls for the overthrow of our Constitution. All our government officials swear an oath of allegiance to defend the Constitution against domestic enemies. We have been fooling ourselves about the domestic enemy problem.
There was a source once that claimed that communism was prohibited by the US Code, but don’t remember the details, if anybody has a chance to look it up, it would be helpful for the analysis what to expect next.
Of course, as using the right reason – any ideology that strives to implement itself in the country and eliminated all opposition by political, judicial and armed force is thus excluded from being able to participate in the political process…the problem is that there are no penalties for being communist or proposing communist policies and communism favoring laws etc.
Until this is fixed no country is safe and no people are protected, with only one exception…
Yes.
Assuming that Trump actually takes office, which is by no means a foregone conclusion, we can assume that one of his first priorities will be to release the cap on energy production. I would be interested to have Jeff’s speculation about what impact this could have on Russia’s economy, Europe’s dependence on Russian oil and gas, and the Ukraine war. Of course, the publicly enunciated position of Trump and Vance on Ukraine is worrisome, but could it be in some measure counterbalanced by a positive factor in the releasing of American oil and gas production?
Oh yes. To bring American natural gas to Germany, for example, should be a game-changer. And any decrease in the price of oil is going to seriously damage Russia’s bleeding economy.
Germany already receives fracking gas from the USA… in other words, it lands here in Mukran on Ruegen, but is then sold on to Scandinavia. American gas is also delivered to Wilhelmshaven. I do not know to what extent this gas actually ends up in German storage facilities.
In principle, however, a reduction in the price of oil and gas would be disastrous for Russia.
I personally know some of the people who have organized the natural gas supplies for Germany. But the present shipments are not enough. Germany needs low energy prices, and the German government is going to have to cooperate a little more to get those costs down (or Germany is going to de-industrialize).
I think Germany is deindustralising massivly. Especially the car industry followed the narrative of climate change and gave up her self. Furthermore the german industry is dependent from China. Many companies especially from the United States are leaving China, maybe they start to understand who the enemy is. On the other hand german companies would even invest more in China (VW, BASF and others). They don’t understand it, what you wrote in your previous essay about the liberals can be applied 100% to Germany. In the coming months Germany will face a huge recession, starting from the car industry and will spread to all the other sectors. Germany has also a lot immigrants from islamic countries and probably thousands of Ucrainians will arrive. I am very pessimistic for Germany and Europe……
The Germans have done so many stupid things. It is hard to understand. One would think of them as a smart people. But no, they are one of those brainless hives. The Nazi period is readily explicable, I think, in what we are seeing. As Eric Voeglin argued in his lectures published as “Hitler and the Germans,” there has never been a spiritual or intellectual reckoning with the Hitler legacy in Germany. Turning to the left does not count. In fact, it suggests the old sociological problems persist.
We are already in the midst of de-industrialization, one bankruptcy after another, tens of thousands of jobs have already been lost, and more will follow. The current government came into office with a program that was intended to make Merkel’s destruction complete and final.
And they almost succeeded.
But the German middle class has rebelled, has managed to convince other companies, employees and more people that woke is not good, even if the Gramsci communists portray woke as the best life of all. There are now tough messages to the federal government, including from the employers’ president to the traffic light man Scholz, and no matter how Teflon-coated he is, the slap in the face has more than hit home. And the bang has woken up mainstream Germans.
Germany must put capable people in office and in power who know what it takes to lead the nation back to prosperity and to provide quality of life. They also know that our companies are often energy-intensive and that it is pointless to subsidize these companies, but that energy as a whole must become cheap again. It should be noted that cheap does not mean selling yourself to the enemy.
The first step out of the mess has been taken. Trump has been elected and that has really shaken up the German mainstream once again and made them look at German politics and the German media in disbelief.
The German conservatives are going to work strengthened and upright after last night. The women clearing up the rubble are going to work.
Johnny has observed and described this very well up to this point.
Birgit: So there is a silver lining in that dark cloud over Germany.
Hitler was not only an anti-Semite, but also an anti-capitalist. Before his “suicide” he said that he should have done more against the right (conservatives). For Stalin, however, it was important that Hitler should not be seen as a brother in spirit of Lenin and Stalin; therefore there was no ideological reappraisal in West Germany (East and Central Germany were occupied by communists and had no say), but only condemnation of the right as fascist. The fact that the Marxists Marcuse, Horkheimer and Adorno worked on the so-called denazification (Horkheimer and Adorno even worked on the “Innere Führung” concept of the Bundeswehr) did not allow for a correct ideological analysis.
And it is precisely for this reason that only a few Germans recognize the communist rabble that surrounds us in all important places and in all important positions.
And yes, Jeff, there is more than just a silver lining on the horizon at the moment.
@Jeff Nyquist, the big question now is how will react Russia, China and Iran to this election? What do you think?
How will Russia and China react? I think Russia is hoping that Trump will appease them. Perhaps China has been asked to step aside and wait. After all, the Chinese need Russia’s help, but Russia is stuck in Ukraine. The Russians have engaged in a lot of narrative-building with the American right. They have Tucker Carlson on their side, and others. Perhaps they think their influence operations will pay off. It could be the option they are looking at. Moscow really needs to win this war, and diplomacy is their best chance. The fact that Biden and the other Western leaders are lefties and are compromised, meant that they were afraid to “commit suicide” by helping their Russian friends. Letting a conservative do it is like letting Nixon go to China. If a Republican opens the door, he gets the blame and the Democrats can walk through that door and give as much help as they can in a bipartisan spirit. In this matter, our guilty left-of-center politicians are frightened of their own past collaboration with Russia and China. There is this word which comes out in war-time: TREASON. You just do not want to be on the wrong end of this word when a war starts. And many people think war is coming. The Russians and Chinese leaders keep saying so.
Jeff, do you think that such a landslide victory will make Russia and China think twice about attacking? These MAGA people are clearly not ordinary people. They for the most part haven’t been vaccinated. They’re armed to the teeth. They just proved that they’re virtually immune to the best propaganda China can throw at them. And for some reason, Trump appears to be bulletproof. If I were the CCP, I’d be thinking twice, and wondering who on earth these people really are!
Yes, China has got to be worried about its strategic position. The war in Ukraine limits China’s military opportunities because Russia has proved so weak in ground operations. Economically China is in trouble. So what will they do? Recent intelligence shows that China has stockpiled enormous supplies — enough for wartime autarky over the next few years. So China is braced for war now. But are the Chinese people under control? I do not know what the assessment of the Chinese Ministry of State Security is. If the Chinese people are against war, if they distrust their government, Beijing might back off for the moment. In the 57-minute Guangdong civil-military mobilization meeting of 2022, the most controversial topic was where to station the People’s Armed Police. Why was this such a thorny question? Because Party officials distrust the Chinese public. They want police troops positioned in the city during wartime and the Army does not like that. This means they really have to find a justification for war that the Chinese people will accept. In this matter watch North Korea. This could be the way for Beijing to justifiably begin a war with America. There is a reason Russia and China have been building up North Korea all these years. Let’s see if they activate the Korean Front in the near future.
Interesting. So do you think North Korea is most likely to attack South Korea, the US or NATO? Or maybe they’ll just fire a missile that “accidentally” goes astray and hits Japan or Hawaii?
The main concern would be an attack on South Korea. That would be a nightmare.
I really hope they’ll decide not to do any of it, but curious what you think their strategy might be.
I was afraid you might say that. My husband and I have several good friends in South Korea from our college days. There are so many Christians there. What a tragedy that would be.
It’s unfortunate that the US didn’t give more of our allies nuclear weapons, back when we had the chance. Non-proliferation seems to be having an effect opposite from what was intended.
Yes. The Russians gave their buddies the bomb. North Korea and Iran are problematic because of that.
I likely see China will accelerate their plan to peacefully recover Taiwan akin to what they did in Hong Kong around 2019. However, China will only use this opportunity to expand a global war against the West. I predict that China will reactivate Korean War and attack Japan at the same time. Chinese will emulate Russia’s prolonged Ukraine War to boost up a war economy. China’s prolonged war in Pacific against Japan and South Korea will massively strengthen industrial production to solve its ongoing deflationary issues. I can see that Trump will likely stand aside but he will force Japan and South Korea paying hefty payments for American protection. Stupidly, our American companies will likely cooperate with Chinese communists to import materials to produce the same weapons will be sent to our allies. Basically, it will be the new cycle of war economy that Trump would love to see because this will bring jobs and money to the US but strategically disastrous in long term.
As China has stockpiled materials they usual import, they could do this. But will they?
@XenoMan interesting prediction. I do not envy Japan and South Korea. I’m tempted to try to warn my Korean and Japanese friends about this possibility of war. Thank you for commenting.
Something I find odd is that there seem to have been less cheating this time. Dont know if measures were taken or if Democrats decided to not create chaos and civil war after all for the benefit of China and Putin.
Suffice to say, Trump’s victory seem eerily similar to Reagan’s canned victories against the Soviets despite himself. To be sure, when it comes to working on the nuclear arsenal for the defense of the US or securing elections, democrats have been running a lot of that show, if in contradicting manner.
There is perhaps a way to test the whole situation regarding the Democrats cheating – when Trump takes office watch whether he will bring up proposals of law regarding electoral cheating and what penalties there would be for it.
A good honest statesman would do that, within his authority, and categorize electoral fraud as treason punishable by death or life imprisonment, then there would be less of it from the communists, PERHAPS – they are such fanatics that they would sacrifice their own lives for the victory of their evil cause, that’s how evil they are.
But the reality seems to be that on the contrary Trump would promote “forgiveness” and “national healing” and he would probably fire some people but no true justice – so wait and see if this goes down, then it would be obvious that something is seriously wrong, with him and with all around him.
On the other hand Moscow is willing to wait if necessary, for his replacement and bring more subversive policies again, to cripple the whole country more and more. One step back, two steps forward, and they don’t mind since they know they have military (nuclear, bio-chem) superiority, and the CCP backing them up, with NK right there with them, the whole Bolshevik bloc just like in the old days, much more deadly.
Our Lady of Fatima’s warning about Russia spreading her errors, causing wars and persecutions against the (true) Catholic Church….various nations will be annihilated…this is not a small matter.
Moscow and Beijing want Trump to revive the economy, Biden was there only to sabotage the necessary nuclear buildup and so now they want the US economy to revive so that when they attack and come to the US, they will rob the country blind, as Russian communists had always done to other countries they took over by force or subversion.
Trump’s focus on domestic economy will mean the communists deeply taking over all Western strongholds in the world. British PM traitorously decommissioned His Majesty’s possession of Chagos Islands to allow future communists gaining a base against Diego Garcia which I believe will likely be decommissioned in near future.
Communists are very proactive people. When they suffer a setback here, then they will spread somewhere else to gain multiple victories somewhere else. They do not get stuck in one place like Ukraine.
Here is the article for reference.
https://apnews.com/article/uk-mauritius-chagos-diego-garcia-base-37d13bf54f9769f3621bd41d08a448f8
Gen. Sejna outlined in his book “We will bury you” the Russian communist plan for North America, and it is to install into the US policy isolationism from Europe and NATO and to implant into the minds of the people that what is domestic is more important than what the national security and international scale of power is, which means that the communists will thus have more doors open to conquer more and more countries when the US policy shifts towards isolationism, which is exactly what Trump brought in with one of the aspects of the MAGA movement, and this is it – to disregard the international communist advances, to shake hands with communist nations, to promote peace with them when they attack bordering nations and threaten nuclear warfare, which is EXACTLY what Moscow wants and what their plan calls for.
So then to fix the economy, although important by itself, is only so much so efficient when the country’s national security is not threatened by communist worldwide domination assault, but that is exactly what Trump is focusing on, the economy as priority, and setting as secondary the Russian and Chinese communist advances around the world – this is what is so important to see.
And he is not saying anything about leaving the UN and WHO (again) and so on, and one sees that skepticism is warranted at this point, with tragic consequences at the end.

Whether the majority of Americans realize it or not they have said NO to Maoist Communists and I think that in itself is something to celebrate. Trump will make a lot of mistakes but it is our responsibility to keep pressure on him and keep this anti communist momentum going.
Also, Jeff, that last caller this morning on John’s show talking about Putin not responsible for shooting down the plane should not be allowed to vote (in reference to women shouldn’t be allowed to vote commenter.)
LOL. That caller was no Sherlock Holmes.
Jeff, a friend is asking me what I think of the allegations against Trump involving Jeffery Epstein. I told her I guessed it was fake news and that if they really had anything on him, we would’ve seen actual evidence by now. But then it occurred to me that the Russians could still be holding things back, saving them for blackmail (since Epstein is suspected to have been a Russian spy). Do you have any thoughts on this?
If the Russians had blackmail on Trump they would not attempt to threaten him with it directly. Once a guy is president he can hurt you. I was told that Russia is very careful not to expressly blackmail presidents or other high-level leaders.
Really? Wow. That’s surprising! So I take it we most likely do know all of the “dirt” on Trump, then— because the Chinese/Russians and whoever else certainly seemed to throw everything they had at him in 2016, 2020 and 2024. If so that’s good news.
I think it is good news.
They blackmail through proxies and with extreme caution so that the result is always in their favor. When that reaches the point of no compromise, which today is hard to be seen, or when the active measures do bring more favorable result, they go to the JFK option.
In Trump’s case this is excluded, blackmail that is, to the certain extent, as his friendliness seeking relationship with all countries is the necessary prerogative for Russian communists to avoid going any further with Trump, because he is already providing the grounds of the strategy’s advancement in the US, which is all they need from him – to maintain the wrong policy status quo.
I do not think Trump would react well to blackmail. He is not the type to be intimidated. He would hit back.

Jeff, with the election over and Trump declared as the winner, I’m curious of your thoughts on what a President Donald Trump does regarding the Ukraine Russia conflict? Will he ignore the fact that Russia violated the Budapest Memorandum when they invaded Ukraine and give Putin whatever he wants?
Will there be any chance that Trump will have, and consult, with advisors such as yourself who see that the U.S. must stop the communist advance? That Putin must get out of Ukraine and explain One Clenched Fist (China and Russia working together) and Putin’s plan for reestablishing the old Soviet Union?
Have you spoken with others in your own circle of friends, military minds, and foreign policy experts who understand the these threats?
I hope there is a plan to meet with Trump soon and discuss and explain how we the U.S. must continue to support Ukraine and the people there against the Communist invaders.
What I find a little entertaining at the moment is the same people who bleat about Trump abandoning Ukraine are the same people who expect Israel to just accept October 7 and have a cease fire with Hamas. They are also the same people who were deafeningly silent recently when Turkey responded to a terror attack with airstrikes.
Good point.
So we can’t rest easy now, in terms of Communist threats, even though Trump has been declared the winner?
Sorry if that’s an ignorant question, Jeff.
I have to say that I was quite surprised by the results. They had been preparing the public with threats of “right-wingers” ready to do damage. The result was so overwhelming I think it was impossible for them to steal.
But with Trump now winning, why would his supporters commit violence? They wouldn’t. So any violence would come from the Left.
It seems to me that this is a low water mark for America’s power, and they will be increasing from here. Trump will build America’s military back up. He will open up domestic energy production. He will attempt to bankrupt Iran again. He will fire thousands of communists embedded in the system. He will hurt China SEVERELY with his planned tariffs.
I have been wrong so many times in the past, but I could see a logical justification for why Russia and China would act now. They will only get weaker within the next 4 years.
On a side note, you have to admire Trump’s pluckiness. I honestly thought the fraud was too great to overcome.
Trump is a remarkable person.
I was directing the question to Nyquist, not you. I’m not interested in your opinion.
Dear Ma’am,
you should be glad to receive any opinion at this point.
What Trump will do is shown by his previous failure or lack of proper response to the 2020 fraud, him simply giving the keys of the WH to Biden without any substantial investigation, including Trump not invoking the insurrection clause.
True statesman doesn’t allow evident treason to stand and give up to the communist connected culprits, but Trump did and quit, instead of letting the commies to suffer the consequences.
In regards to the situation in Ukraine, Trump has already shown that he accepted the Russian aggression into Ukraine and will try to broker a deal with the KGB Kremlin, which of course is another compromise on his part, which is not surprising but only confirms the previous analysis about him, including his previous (1987, KGB assets in the US etc.) connections to the Kremlin.
It was rather surprising (at first) to see the Democrats not to cheat substantially, but then they may have received orders from Moscow not to proceed further as then they would have destroyed their political chances for the future, not being able to continue with their evidently deceiving propaganda that there was no cheating in 2020 elections.
What comes next is obvious – mix of wishful thinking and false hopes that something substantial will happen, when Trump has been previously very helpful to the communist cause, including inclination to friendly relationship with all the Bolshevik nations, Russia, China and NK etc., and so not much has changed in this institutional blindness and not much will most like change in the future, which is truly tragic.
In terms of rebuilding the military, that is now too late as the damage is done by Biden and so it would take years to do this and so the military advantage Russia has, as their military strength is purposely hidden and their stockpile of nuclear potential is unknown, as they are hiding it in those 200 plus nuclear underground bunker-cities (Yamantau etc.), then the problem is greater now as the momentum and military advantage is on the communist side and when they see that the US might be closing in the gap, they will act and will not wait to loose the element of surprise.
I don’t quite understand this criticism of Trump. His own cabinet were abondining him — his own attorney general resigned. He had no support from the government. He was all alone and faced impeachment for what he did do. What do you imagine he could have done, other than he did, and has done since? It seems he survived a series of minefields that would have blown me to bits. I’m not sure I would have had the patience.
As I said to the previous person, the question was not directed to you. I am not interested in your opinion. Just being honest here.
Perhaps I should have explained myself better. Originally, the question was meant to be rhetorical.
No. It’s a good question.
We can never rest easy, under the present circumstances.
Hi Friends, as we all worry immensely about Trump’s attitude and his future policy towards Ukraine, I’d like to mention two prominent Polish political figures who, perhaps, could positively influence Trump in that regard.
One of them is Polish President Andrzej Duda. Duda is on very good terms with Trump, met him on few occasions and that included their recent meeting during Trump’s campaign. Poland under Duda’s presidency was also the first country Trump paid his visit to right after his inauguration in his first term.
Duda, as a President is rather a weak man and he has made few strategic mistakes during his reign. However, he is also very smart and strongly anti-Putin. I tend to believe that Duda has managed to transfer great amount of information about Putin’s strategic plans to take over and subdue the Eastern and not only, Europe. There is no doubt that Duda talked to Trump about the assassination of Polish President Lech Kaczynski in 2010 by Putin and I also strongly believe that Trump knows very well that it is Putin who was directly responsible for the death of Lech Kaczynski and that piece of strategic info must have shaped Trump’s view of Putin’s Russia and the nature of the game Putin is playing.
The second figure is Polish member of the so called “European Parliament” Dominik Tarczynski. Tarczynski is extremely popular on YouTube because of his uncompromising conservatism, his defense of Christian values, his patriotism and his equally uncompromising anti illegal immigration stand. He is equally tough in his interviews on various European networks as in the “European Parliament” where he completely incinerates European leftists.
He was just invited by a very successful businessman and immensely popular American YouTuber Patric Ben David to observe and comment on the American election and his comments raised an enormous enthusiasm and were watched by millions of people.
There is a slight chance that, because of his position in the “European Parliament” and his raising popularity, he could find the way to get an access to Trump and talk to him about the strategic necessity to help Ukraine to survive but also to defeat and weaken Russia.
Regards – Bogdan
What do you think of Radoslaw Sikorski, Polish Foreign Minister? Any possibilities there?
Good question. Bogdan please tell us what you think of Sikorski. I am very curious.
Yes. Communists seem to latch on energies, pure energies. I understand Trump’s excitement etc, but, really, the bullet dodged in this election is not so much Harris as civil war type disruptive acrimoniousness due to unclear votes and legislations on census or electors being put in doubt.
Do MAGA types realize this? To be vulnerable to the Narcissistic image confabulations of Putin’s propaganda is kind of below the pale. The virtue signaling on war and against making money selling weapons by the like of Vivek accusing other GOP candidates of being in the back pocket of Lockheed is downright crazy. If anything, the execs at Lockheed would probably prefer making money on easy products sold at convenient stores with tax payer welfare money than the heady job of proving complex weapons to picky militaries or combat trials. Just look at the Boeing debacle and how companies are jumping on the Potemkin fake DEI product craze.
People have no idea that capitalism is actually very very meek, which is why the new economic wave is the illegals helping running these food trucks and not “war” or “militaro industrial complex”.
Yes, Viviek is dangerous. He does not understand foreign affairs. And capitalism is meek. This is a good insight.
Jeff, I’d like to know the source from which you took Nevin Gussack’s reference to Jackson’s tweet. Here is how your footnotes appear:
[i] Thanks to Nevin Gussack, who noticed Jackman’s tweet.
[ii] Ibid, p. 31.
[iii] Ibid, p. 38.
Notes two and three make it clear, because of page numbers, that it comes from a book of Gussack’s, but the title is not given. Thanks in advance for the information.
Deborah, I do not have Twitter or x-access, found the quote from Jackman here: https://twicopy.com/redneckstalin/ I used the link in my correspondence.
My fingers were too fast … the book is by Stephen Koch: Double Lives: Spies and Writers in the Secret Soviet War of Ideas Against the West: Espionage and the War of Ideas
Birgit, thanks. I did follow up the twitter link, and I appreciate the book reference, which clarifies the footnotes.
It was a tweet on X. I forgot to link to it. Here is him retweeting my tweet of his original —

@Xeno Man i am not sure that China will attack Japan and have also some doubts about Taiwan. Why? Because these two countries are massively buying Treasuries. This is the reason why the Yen devaluated against the dollar. I think the US and Japan have this kind of agreement (buying Treasuries for proteection), if not it would not make sense for Japan to continue to buy Treasuries and devaluate its currency. For Taiwan i think it’s more or less the same
Money moves out of countries that are going to war. Japan and Taiwan know that they are going to war so they are investing here, Europe is also parking their money here, for the time being.

The Chinese navy is hard at work on a huge new amphibious assault ship – a combination troop transport and aircraft carrier that could carry hundreds of troops toward Taiwan, and then launch helicopters to deposit those troops behind Taiwanese defenses.
That ship, the Type 076, makes sense. Many of the world’s leading navies operate vessels of this type: the US Navy has its nine Wasp- and America-class ships, the French navy has its three Mistrals and the Australian navy has its two Canberras. The Royal Navy used to have an aviation assault ship, HMS Ocean, but sold it to Brazil as a cost-saving measure in 2018.
What doesn’t necessarily make sense is the other apparent assault ship class the Chinese are building, astonishingly quickly. In late October, Tom Shugart – a former US Navy submariner and current fellow at the Center for a New American Security think tank in Washington DC – spotted the strange vessel in recent commercial satellite imagery depicting a shipyard outside the city of Guangzhou in southern China.
The mystery ship has the flat flight deck of an assault ship as well as the twin islands – one for navigation, one for directing flight operations – that are currently in vogue with designers of aircraft-carrying vessels.
But at just 650 feet from bow to stern, the vessel is small for an assault ship. A Type 075 is 760 feet long. A Type 076 is even longer at 850 feet. More to the point, however, the mystery ship is redundant. Why would the Chinese need a third type of big-deck amphibious ship?
The most chilling answer is that Chinese officials anticipate losing a lot of ships in any attempt to land troops in Taiwan – and they’re planning in advance to replace sunk or damaged Type 075s and Type 076s with smaller assault ships they can build fast and cheap. Or they may want to add numbers to their invasion fleet as quickly as possible.
Guangzhou Shipyard International, the yard in question, does appear to be building the first copy of that apparent small assault ship type rather quickly. Shugart noted it in satellite imagery going back “a few months” prior to October. In those few months, workers completed the ship’s hull and deck.
In shipbuilding terms, that’s fast. It took Chinese shipbuilders a year to complete the first Type 075; construction of the Type 076 might also take a year.
The Chinese could be forgiven for assuming their landing forces might take heavy casualties in a direct assault on Taiwan. The new Taiwanese coastal defense force is building up a powerful arsenal, adding 400 American-made Harpoon anti-ship missiles on 100 truck-mounted launchers cued by 25 radars. It already had large numbers of Hsiung Feng Taiwan-made anti-shipping missiles, likewise kept in hardened bases and mobile for easy dispersal.
Those missile launchers, tucked into hard-to-spot hillside redoubts, could ride out the bombardment that would surely precede a Chinese invasion attempt – and then target the invaders when they’re most vulnerable: while crossing the 100-mile-wide Taiwan Strait in Type 076s, Type 075s and other amphibious and transport ships.
The Ukrainian navy needed just two Neptune anti-ship missiles to sink the 612-foot Russian missile cruiser Moskva in the Black Sea in April 2022. Chinese naval planners are no fools. They know their own ships could be equally vulnerable. Sea-skimming missiles like the Neptune, Hsiung Feng and Harpoon can be difficult to detect, and even more difficult to intercept.
So if that mystery vessel is a cheap assault ship, it may be China’s answer to the severe losses its invasion forces would probably sustain, mounting an assault through a hail of missiles.
It’s a big if, however. Shuggart concluded the ship near Guangzhou might not be an assault ship at all, but rather a research vessel capable of supporting helicopters. He even located an artist’s rendering of a “research” carrier that closely matches what he saw in that satellite imagery.
But it wouldn’t really matter what the ship may be called or what branch of the Chinese government it’s assigned to. It would still be useful in the event of an invasion.
Of course, he fails to offer the most important detail. What is the operational range of the Type 076 amphibious assault ship? That will tell us more about the intended target than anything. Of course, the ship 40,000 tons and its range is classified. Guess why?
Does it happen to be about 6,000 nautical miles?
An exercise or the real deal?
