The Path to War: An Assessment

“All these [terrorist] operations [and large-scale accidents] – because of course none of these events is an accident – and others like them are known officially in the GRU [Russian Military Intelligence] as the ‘preparatory period,’ and unofficially as the ‘overture.’ The overture is a series of large and small operations the purpose of which is, before actual military operations begin, to weaken the enemy’s morale, create an atmosphere of general suspicion, fear and uncertainty, and divert the attention of the enemy’s armies and police forces to a huge number of different targets, each of which may be the object of the next attack.”

Viktor Suvorov

According to the GRU defector Stanislav Lunev, Russia and China were engaged in secret talks at the end of the Cold War. Their plan was to organize the destruction of the United States as a world power, under cover of the “collapse of communism” and Deng Xiaoping’s “Four Modernizations.” Moscow had high hopes for this plan. The communist movement, they knew, was not merely a Soviet thing.

Meanwhile, China would infiltrate the West economically. American capitalists could not resist cheap Chinese labor. Because of this, Western technology and capital flowed into China, allowing the Chinese communist regime to build up its navy and strategic forces. Powerful Western corporations and governments would align their interests with China’s interests. The communists would gain access to America’s capital markets. Technology theft, confiscation of Western assets in China along with currency manipulation would allow China to rape the West economically. Once the process was underway, none could stand against China’s growing influence. At the same time, communist movements in the West could receive further help and encouragement on every front.  

Russia, in its turn, would extend its agent networks into conservative and rightwing circles to reshape the narrative of the post-Cold War right. New narratives would be devised to divide and conquer America and Europe. America would be blamed for everything, including for the left’s successful advances during the post-Cold War period. The crazy beliefs of the communist-inspired left would no longer be associated with Moscow and its intelligence networks. Instead, the CIA would be blamed for everything. America would also be blamed: from international drug trafficking and terrorism to pandemics and climate change. A constant disinformation campaign, a continual bombardment of factual distortion and outright lies, would convince Americans that their own defensive structures were evil.

The kind of corruption that exists in all nations also exists, to some extent, in America. How easy would it be for the world’s premier intelligence services (the KGB and GRU) to infiltrate organized crime and capture the flow of illicit cash while turning white collar criminals into controlled assets? Operation Friendship of Nations, which was a massive narcotics operation launched in 1960, has probably coopted corrupt police agencies in many cities. By the late 1970s, a capstone was added: Pedophile rings and human trafficking. All these operations were part of the larger, Gramscian scheme. The destruction of honesty, the corruption of morals, would attend ideological subversion and societal demoralization. Nearly everyone would be disoriented. Facts would be routinely misinterpreted. The craziest conspiracy theories would be believed. The existence of corruption in high places would not be correctly interpreted. Instead, the interpretation would be along the following lines: America is evil, American astronauts never landed on the Moon, the Americans are destroying the planet, America can only be fixed by civil war.

Imagine two big countries with massive bureaucratic and intelligence resources. Russia and China’s strategy was managed by a vast system of think tanks and bureaus. Operations were broken into segmented tasks with briefings to high-level officials in Moscow and Beijing. Only a few officials could see the overall design. Only at the very top, where the heads of the various think tanks met, was the full blueprint known. The massive communist bureaucracies were sifted, reorganized, and prepped for each stage of the plan. Allowances were made for setbacks. Always, plans must be amended and revised, updated and corrected. This was done continually. The top leadership of Russia and China were committed to their plan. They believed that these strategies would produce a radical shift in the “correlation of forces” – in the balance of power. It was Lenin who said there was no Marxist dogma. In saying this he was paraphrasing Marx himself. Real Marxism-Leninism was a science of controlling human beings. The Marxist label could be removed. Leninism could morph into “Christianity” of a new type. It could become a new kind of Islam. It could become Buddhist. It could open the pages of Aleister Crowley’s Magick and thrill to the thought of “The Bloody Sacrifice” outlined by Crowley: “There is a Magical Operation of maximum importance: the Initiation of a New Aeon. When it becomes necessary to utter a Word, the whole Planet must be bathed in blood.”[i]

A spirit of destruction has been unleashed throughout the world. There are nihilists and criminals who possess extraordinary talents. One might say, in effect, that nihilism and crime have become political. The psychopath has gone to school — to the school of communism. He has become sophisticated. He has become organized. He has understood the ways of corruption. He has seen the unstable character of modernity. As a creature of opportunity, the criminal sees his way forward. The psychopath claims fresh victims. To hunt down people in an organized way, in a scientific way – that is the trick!

The falseness of the changes in Russia under Gorbachev, and the secret design of communist global strategy after 1991, was best understood by KGB Major Anatoliy Golitsyn. He defected to the United States in December 1961. There are others, as well, who have understood the false nature of the changes in Russia. On 19 July 2023, at the Captive Nations Summit, the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation gave Fr. Georgi Edelstein the Truman-Reagan Medal of Freedom. Edelstein’s acceptance speech was read at the summit by his biographer, George Roller:[ii]

“I have been living under Communism for 91 years, and I know that Communism always means war – either actual or potential. Communism always means tyranny and bold-faced lies.

“I was born in Kyiv on Lenin Street, Building #24, Apt. #16. I lived there for the first nine years of my life. Today, in all of Ukraine, you will not find a single Lenin Street, or Lenin Square, or Lenin monument – not a single memorial dedicated to the founder of the first Communist state on earth. But in the country where I am a citizen [i.e., Russia], there are tens of thousands of such monuments, streets, and squares. Here lies the fundamental difference between Ukraine and the state which you call ‘Russia.’  Where I am a citizen, Lenin remains our ALL.

“I do not support President Putin, nor am I particularly against him. To me, he is just another leader in a long line of leaders of the never-ending Soviet regime. Back in kindergarten in the 1930s, I was taught that ‘Stalin is Lenin today.’ Eighty-five years later, I can say with complete confidence that ‘Putin is Lenin today.’

“My good friend Vladimir Kara-Murza is in prison now. He is sentenced to 25 years, but there is no reason to blame the judges for their lack of justice. The Soviet legal system was created more than 100 years ago, and in all that time, the sentencing occurred not in the courtrooms but in the Kremlin. Nothing has changed. Under Nazi regimes and under the Communists (whether headed by Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, or Putin), there always were and always will be political prisoners.

“And now to the most important point. All Western media today constantly speak about ‘the Russia-Ukraine war’ or ‘Russian aggression against Ukraine.’ I am firmly convinced, I believe, and I witness that Russia ceased to exist in November of 1917. The necessity to strictly delineate Russia from the Soviet Union is the cornerstone of everything I have ever written and said. The war in Ukraine is being fought by Soviet, not Russian, arms. The crimes in Bucha were committed by Communists, not Russian soldiers and officers. Ukrainian cities are not being bombed by Russians, but by Communist lads.

“The Communist system has not changed in principle during the last 105 years. While temporary changes may occur in the economy, in the legal system, and in the methods of propaganda, in essence it remains the same. To quote Lenin, ‘A blue devil is not different from a yellow one.’”[iii]

In light of Fr. Edelstein’s remarks, it is shameful to consider the countless Western politicians and intelligence officials who have publicly endorsed the fraud that is the Russian Federation. The present war in Ukraine is a war of Soviet consolidation. It is an operation to put the Humpty Dumpty of the Soviet Union back together. It is a necessary preliminary step in mobilizing the resources of a renewed communist bloc for a new world war.

How close are we to war?

I believe we are on a path set by Moscow and Beijing. The present state of the Russian/Chinese mobilization is hard to calculate. Some believe Russia and China are near the end of their mobilization. Some believe the mobilization is advancing slowly, with economic and political adjustments along the way. I think they are having trouble getting their act together. They are having trouble with certain modifications of their plan.

In the 1960s, when the details of World War III were being worked out, the Soviet Union’s chief military strategist, Marshal V.D. Sokolovskii, edited a foundational book titled Soviet Military Strategy. In this book Sokolovskii’s team explained that the principle of concentrating forces for a major offensive against capitalism “requires extensive modification [over previous plans].”[iv]

“In all previous wars, the main efforts were channeled in a principal area by concentrating manpower and equipment and by their close deployment on a relatively limited sector of the ground front; today this [end] can obviously be accomplished by massive [nuclear] missile attacks.

“The concentration of troops at breakthrough areas and the formation of high troop densities in these relatively narrow front sectors, practiced as recently as World War II, are fraught with grave consequences. Moreover, there is no longer a need for such concentration, since continuous fronts have become a thing of the past and the concept of penetration of the front has lost its former significance. It is not the direction of the main blow [on the ground front as in the past] which is now of most importance, but rather the areas where force is applied, since nuclear strikes can be delivered simultaneously to targets in many areas throughout an entire enemy territory.”[v]

In other words, conventional warfare is not decisive. And yet the Russians got themselves stuck in a conventional war with continuous fronts. It was a serious mistake. Sokolovskii taught that only nuclear weapons are decisive. World War III must therefore be a nuclear war. In terms of Crowley’s Magical Operation to initiate a New Aeon, “the whole planet must be bathed in blood.” This is what the Soviet Union’s greatest strategist believed. All-out-war, said Sokolovskii, is nuclear missile war. Hundreds of millions of people will die. Mass starvation and disease will bring social anarchy to every unprepared country. A Cold War cannot achieve these results. A Cold War, however, can grant decisive advantages in advance of a nuclear missile war, yet the decision itself only comes through nuclear combat. Decisive advantages gained from Cold War are only fully realized by fighting a nuclear war. What does it matter, for example, if Western presidents and prime ministers are corrupt idiots manipulated by agents of influence? What can Moscow get from this? More oil revenue, technology transfers, better arms control deals? Unless these advantages are turned into nuclear missiles for smashing America’s military, there is no decisive result. What does it matter if Moscow and Beijing steal a lot of money and technology from the West? Eventually the West will sour on Russia and China. Then Russia and China will fall behind once more and the cycle will begin again. What is the point of this game unless the Russian and Chinese pull the nuclear trigger? America must be infiltrated and occupied. Its people must be exterminated, as Gen. Chi Haotian explained twenty years ago. Of all the Soviet strategists, Sokolovskii knew this. He discovered this as a principle. All previous wars, noted Sokolovskii’s text, tend “to the principle of partial victory.” According to Sokolovskii:

“Modern strategic weapons, which are directly subordinated to the high commands, make it possible to achieve decisive results in winning victory in war sometimes even without resort to tactical and field forces and their weapons. This lends support to the proposition that today partial success can be replaced by successes of a general strategic nature.”[vi]

Here Sokolovskii suggests victory is possible with nuclear strikes alone. Of course, the analysis of later Soviet strategists evolved towards the all-arms approach. They also realized that Sokolovskii’s discovery had to be hidden. The idea of actually preparing for nuclear war in order to take control of the world had to be hidden. Moscow could never let anyone suspect. Therefore, in 1970 Col. M.P. Skirdo wrote,

“[Communists] are even more convinced that war is unnecessary for the transition from capitalism to socialism. In our historic epoch, when the worldwide system of socialism is demonstrating in practice its superiority to the outdated capitalist system, the victory of socialism is completely assured even under conditions of peaceful coexistence and economic competition between two diametrically opposed social systems.”[vii]

This paragraph from Skirdo is a compound lie. The socialist system has never been able to compete with capitalism (and they know it). Today the Chinese economy is in shambles and the Russian economy is struggling. Therefore, the transition from capitalism to socialism cannot be achieved under conditions of peaceful coexistence. The parasitic nature of the Russian and Chinese economies are increasingly shown. Russia has resorted to military aggression while China is threatening military aggression against Taiwan. There is no peaceful transition to socialism because socialism signifies war. When a democratic country turns toward socialism and the economy suffers, the population turns against the government that has failed them. They vote for someone who promises more economic freedom. They vote against the left. In 1980 Americans voted for Reagon. In 2024 they voted for Trump. In Europe the Germans are fed up with the Social Democrats and Greens. The British hate their Labor Government. The French are restive against the Maoism of President Macron. Socialism only succeeds if enough guns and bombs and nuclear weapons are pointed at the intended victims. “No,” say the communists. “We do not care if our economic system impoverishes you. We are imposing it on you anyway.” One may deceive a nation with false narratives and false ideals for many years, but all false narratives and ideals collapse in the end. If destruction is a cause in itself, then its method always begins with a lie. And when that lie has exhausted itself, and the new lie has replaced the old, only nuclear weapons will suffice. Psychologically, the objective is to prevent the truth from ever entering the victim’s mind. He must not understand the cause of the war. He must not be able to identify his enemy. He must not understand the reasons for his situation. The communist complex of lies and warfare form a complete whole. First, incapacitate the enemy’s mind. Disconnect him from the truth. Disorient him politically and spiritually. The secret of victory at the psychological level is not the false narratives in and of themselves. It is the obliteration of truth in the victim’s mind that is decisive. A mind cut off from truth is alienated, disorganized. Such a mind is already demoralized. At the first nuclear blow a disoriented mind will collapse into despair. He will not rally to defend. Skirdo noted,

“In a future war, the enemy may not use nuclear missile weapons alone, but may also use other powerful means of combat. Panic, and the catastrophic consequences associated with it, can be avoided only by ideologically and psychologically seasoned courageous soldiers led by steadfast, resolute officers.

“Thus, the importance of morale and other psychological factors in nuclear missile warfare is exceptionally great. The only states or coalitions which will be able to endure the severe trials of war are those having the objective and subjective conditions for the buildup of moral potential in both peacetime and wartime. In the socialist states, these conditions are fulfilled.

“With regard to the coalition of imperialist powers, there are organic defects in its moral and political potential. The reasons for this are inherent in the very social order of the states constituting the coalition, and in the antipopular goals of the wars which it wages. Whereas the peoples and armies of the socialist countries have inspiring ideals which underlie their high morale and mobilize them for fighting the enemy, the statesmen and military figures of the Western countries have no such ideals with which to motivate their civilians and servicemen.”[viii]

In the last analysis, if people are determined to resist communism, even nuclear bombs are insufficient. What has to happen for a communist victory is simple: people must be demoralized ahead of time. Tell them that nuclear weapons signify the end of the world, the end of all life on earth. Invent false scenarios like nuclear winter. This kind of disinformation has not only encouraged nuclear disarmament in Western countries; in future, it will allow Russian and Chinese troops to advance into America’s bombed landscape without suffering heavy casualties. The defenders, in total despair that the end of the world has come, will have no reason to resist. Christians will expect the return of Christ and forget their duty to resist the enemy. Using examples from World War II and the Nazi regime as a foil, Skirdo warned of the effectiveness of partisan resistance. Skirdo noted, “a world nuclear missile war will be waged by armies many millions strong, and victory will depend, to a considerable degree, on troop morale.” He then explained, “There is no need to prove that massive and effective use of missile mounted nuclear weapons is possible only where the troops are ready for it, not merely technically, but morally and psychologically.”[ix] These armies will enter the territory of disorganized countries where a surviving population of many millions may possess the moral strength and weaponry to resist. Again, using the Nazis as a foil, Skirdo obliquely warned his colleagues that a “powerful army of partisan avengers, who rose voluntarily to combat the … aggressors,” can wage “a war of annihilation against them.”[x] He further noted that during the first two years of World War II, the Germans lost 300,000 troops, 30 generals, and 6,336 officers to partisan attacks. According to Skirdo, partisans derailed 11,128 trains, destroyed 18,700 vehicles, put 13,55 tanks out of operation, and wiped out over 305 aircraft.[xi]

As GRU defector Stanislav Lunev noted twenty years ago, Soviet strategists in the 1980s so feared American partisan operations during a projected Soviet invasion of North America, they adopted a scorched earth approach for dealing with the United States mainland. Since China will be the primary invading power in a twenty-first century war, and China has unlimited reserves of manpower, the scorched earth strategy has been ruled out because it would tend to hinder conquest. (Note: Partisans are not a problem if you have large reserves of well-equipped troops to defeat them.) Also, biological weapons are favored by China in future operations against America.

How do we know China intends to invade the United States? Over the last decade China has been infiltrating millions of Chinese into Canada, Mexico and directly into the U.S. It seems that People’s Liberation Army strategists envision a continent-wide ground war in North America involving Chinese ground forces. In this scenario, triggering a civil war within the United States becomes a major objective. To make all this work, China must use a surprise attack with nuclear weapons to destroy all American naval and nuclear forces.

It is a strategic irony of no small account that the former Soviet Union, which is important to China’s plans, is engaged in a large-scale civil war of its own. In fact, the Ukrainians would welcome American troops with open arms. Here is where the Soviet long-range strategy backfired badly. Since the initial invasion of Ukraine failed Russia appears to be in a kind of holding pattern. What is the Kremlin holding on for? Presently, the war in Ukraine might serve as camouflage for larger mobilizations and war preparations against the United States. If the U.S. were to collapse from nuclear strikes, Ukraine would collapse within a year. But is this a viable strategy? The question is one of economic mobilization, economic stamina and Russian morale. How successful has the Russian government been in these areas? Certainly, much has gone wrong. Yet new weapons are being prepared. New war factories are being built with Chinese help. Corrupt officers and generals are being removed. Corrections are being made in a corrupt military procurement system. Meanwhile, repeated threats of launching nuclear strikes against the West orient the Russian population to their enemy even as the Kremlin begins to manufacture nuclear fallout shelters for the rural and small-town population of Russia.[xii] The West, on its side, exposed to thirty-five months of empty threats, ceases to take Russia’s official statements about nuclear war seriously. The Ukraine War therefore helps the strategists in Moscow solve the problem of surprise while openly mobilizing for nuclear war.

How do we explain the West’s failure to match Soviet and Chinese war preparations? The fundamental difference between the strategists in Washington and the strategists in Moscow follows from differences in their basic assumptions. In Washington a nuclear world war is thought to be a near impossibility. In Moscow, on the contrary, world nuclear war is more than theoretically possible. It is, as Sokolovskii’s text explained, a “fundamental type of war in the present epoch.” According to Sokolovski,

“If a world war between the imperialist and socialist camps is not prevented, it will be, because of its essentially political nature, the decisive armed clash between the two opposing world social systems. Such a war would be aggressive, predatory, and unjust for the imperialists, but liberating, just, and revolutionary for the socialist commonwealth.”[xiii]

The truth that Fr. Edelstein outlined in his 2023 speech to the Captive Nations Summit, was that “Communism always means war – either actual or potential.” This deep truth is carefully and systematically denied in all Soviet military texts, following Stalin’s principle that communists must always blame their enemies for what they themselves are doing. Therefore, Sokolovskii’s text describes nuclear war in terms of the guilt of communism’s victims. “The communists have always been the most determined opponents of world wars, as well as opponents in general of wars between states.”[xiv] This boldfaced lie can be seen through the history of the last 105 years, where the communists have brought about war after war – egging on Hitler in 1939 with the Nazi-Soviet pact; invading peaceful Finland in 1939, the Baltic States and Romania in 1940, Persia in 1941. Then Moscow broke its treaty of non-aggression with Japan in 1945, ordered of the Korean War in 1950, coordinated the attack on South Vietnam in the 60s and 70s, supported revolutions and wars in Nicaragua, Angola, Mozambique and Ethiopia in the 1970s and 80s. Consider, as well, the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan; and then, after the supposed fall of the Soviet Union, the fueling of the civil war in Colombia, the communist revolution and genocidal communist wars of the Congo and surrounding regions; Moscow’s 2008 invasion of Georgia, the 2014 annexation of Crimea and war in Donbas, and finally a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. What is at the root of these wars? Communist strategy and ambition. Where do these wars lead? To the ultimate war, to the most decisive war. Sokolovskii’s text explains,

“Soviet military strategy clearly reflects the view that the sharp class nature of such a war compel the belligerents to aim at conclusive political and military decisions. Furthermore, the widespread use of weapons of mass destruction will make the war destructive and annihilating as never before. Our Armed Forces must be prepared for a severe, strenuous, and exceptionally violent war.”[xv]

Such a war, with so much at stake, requires extensive preparations. Because weapons of mass destruction threaten the population of the combatant countries, it is necessary to prepare the population for the war. Russia has been engaged in civil defense exercises since 2016, whereas no such exercises have been conducted in the United States. “It is very important to teach the population the rules of conduct during an enemy air attack, particularly the simplest medical first aid and self-aid measures.” Panic of the population must be avoided by means of psychologically preparing the population for war; by orienting the population, by the proper mobilization of the armed forces. According to Sokolovskii’s text, “The political preparation of the morale of the people is of decisive importance in present-day conditions, since the use of weapons of mass destruction in war imposes exceptionally high and unprecedented demands on the political morale of the population.”[xvi] The population must be psychologically prepared to bear any hardship, [to] defend the motherland.

“The Communist Party of the Soviet Union wages an unremitting struggle against bourgeois ideology and morality, against opportunist tendencies in the workers’ and communist movements, and against revisionism as the chief danger threatening the unity of the … movement. To relinquish or slacken our ideological struggle would be to capitulate to bourgeois ideology and morality, and would increase the danger of war.”[xvii]

Behind the Communist Party’s plans for World War III we find an ideological struggle. This struggle is not over. It is ongoing. The part played by war in that struggle is that of a capstone. Before that capstone is set down the leading ideas of humanity must be reformatted by the aggressor. How else could he hope to make his conquest stick? If nations are already conquered through the adulteration of their respective cultural heritages, why should armed resistance to an invader prove effective? Therefore, the Leninists have not merely sought the socialization of the masses, or the elites. There has been a socialization of all ideas, where the term socialization signifies the merging of all prevalent ideas with Leninism. Here is the most sophisticated basis for an ecumenical empire ever conceived.[xviii] And yet, the core of Marxist-Leninist philosophy is not easy to discern. Putin himself has said that Christianity and Leninism are basically the same thing.[xix] This merging of Leninism with everything is visible when we look at radical environmentalism (with Earth Day celebrated on Lenin’s birthday). Then we have feminist ideology, anti-war ideology, even libertarianism and paleo-conservatism merging with Leninism. The Leninist content is disguised under layers of rightwing and leftwing debris, so that Leninism wins whichever local set of ideas prevail in a given state. Every shade of opinion is being colonized across many countries. Even homosexuality now has Leninist characteristics. All the while the “Christian-Leninist,” Vladimir Putin, denounces homosexuality. In the Marxist-Leninist conception, all ideologies are weapons. Why not take and use all these weapons at once?

What now appears under the guise of “Eurasianism,” to explore a further example, is merely an attempt to merge Asian and European traditions into a perennial anti-Americanism. To eliminate America, as Alexander Dugin has argued, is to deliver the world from American imperial dominance – as if Beijing and Moscow would introduce freedom and prosperity to the world (in the wake of America’s demise). It is dangerous nonsense, of course. America has facilitated the prosperity of many countries, including its enemies. Why would its elimination benefit mankind? Such elimination, of course, is the same old Soviet objective under a new ideological guise. The war of the present era, said Sokolovskii’s team, is between capitalism and socialism, between two opposing systems of organizing humanity. Dugin has publicly stated, “The American Empire should be destroyed.” Both Marxism-Leninism and Eurasianism are gnostic mass movements, noted Dugin’s biographer, James Heiser. This is not coincidental, but consistent with a certain mentality and psychopathology. It is the psychopathology of the destructionist. When Dugin pretends to embrace classic or traditional thinking sprinkled with spiritual transcendence, he nonetheless steers straight for the end times and the “final war of the world island.”  Even as Alexander Dugin and other Russian agents of ideological influence appear to praise the election of Trump, they have engaged in the cunning doublespeak of telling their non-English-speaking followers that Trump will be “a greater enemy than Biden.”[xx]

The path to war is open. We do not know when Russia and China will begin the war. The military balance continues to move in their favor. The economic situation begins to constrict them, however. How will they play their next set of cards? Apparently Trump and Putin are going to meet in March. This meeting may be the most important event of 2025.[xxi]   

Stay tuned.

[iii] Special note: The story has been told by emigres from the USSR, and there is a bibliography for this. The story is very long and involves many murders and infiltrations. When the Tsar restored the Patriarchate towards the end of the Empire, the elected Patriarch, Tikhon, a staunch anticommunist, issued a decree granting autonomy to all bishops of the Patriarchate, in Russia and abroad, until the political situation was clarified and a “Council of All Russia” could be convened. Some of the bishops who fled when the revolution occurred [in 1917] went to Karlovitsky, in Serbia, where they founded the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad (ROCA). This church repeated Tikhon’s anathema against communism and declared the Moscow Church schismatic and without sacramental grace. But another bishop, named Eulogius, established an exarchate in Paris and sought refuge in the Patriarchate of Constantinople, which is modernist. Today we know that Eulogius’s exarchate was merely a branch of the Soviet secret service in France, so much so that when some White Army officers were killed in France by Soviet OGPU agents, it was facilitated by the collaboration of priests from the exarchate, infiltrated into the émigré community. After Vatican II, the Patriarchate changed its tactics regarding the Church. Soviet priests attended the World Council of Churches and claimed that there was no religious persecution in Russia and that many churches had been opened. It seemed like  a Christian renaissance, but it was all a façade. Soviet émigré sources have listed documents from the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad revealing that some bishops of the Patriarchate were never even ordained bishops, but were merely actors pretending to be bishops. As for the Church in Exile, although one wing of it remained faithful to anticommunism, part of it was infiltrated, especially during the construction of the monastery and seminary in Jordanville, NY, which cost a lot of money, in a deal mediated by the Russian mafia which brought a large section of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad back under Moscow’s control. A great deal of church property was acquired by the Russian special services as a result [Res. M.C.P].

[xviii] Ecumenic empires were empires of the ecumene (i.e., the known world). In other words, a political/military system aspiring to world control or achieving a remarkable degree of control. Examples include ancient Persia, Rome, China, the Third Reich (conceived as controlling the parts of the world that mattered), and the Soviet bloc empire (whose propagandists carefully eschewed the imperialist label, preferring to put this attribution on their enemies). The people of a given polity are invested with a notion of an ordered cosmos; that is, what may be considered proper, authoritative, divinely ordained, etc. Certain cosmological societies forwarded myths which were, in essence, speculations regarding how the existing order sprang into existence, what the point of origin was, and more. These speculations were often about gods and men. In the oldest societies these speculations arose organically, becoming imbedded in the tissue of local thought and customs. Such formed the shared cosmological framework of towns and villages belonging to the same set of related tribes. As rationality developed and men started recording history as a unique series of events, historical consciousness emerged. This led to new speculations used by emerging empires to insert themselves as the ultimate meaning of history. By adulterating local myths and homogenizing them for universalistic ends, the makers of large military empires hoped to refashion transcendental ideas to their own purposes and to sustain their claims to legitimacy. This process of distorting transcendent truth for political and military purposes was referred to by the political philosopher Eric Voegelin as a deformation of man’s thinking about truth. The massive project to unite mankind into the ultimate ecumenic empire today, necessarily involves the greatest attempt to warp human thought ever attempted. At the forefront of this attempt is Alexander Dugin and his notions of Eurasia which are nothing more than an attempt to bastardize all religions, philosophies, traditions so that they can be rolled into the military/political formations of Lenin’s disguised socialist camp. As Ellis Sandoz explained, “history is symbol; symbols can lose their substance; the emptied symbol can still be used for purposes widely differing from its original and essential function as the indispensable means of constituting existence in historical form.” According to Sandoz, the crisis of modernity stems from the tension that has arisen between “the Judeo-Christian historical form … and the loss of substance it has suffered.” [The Voegelin Revolution, p. 126-27.]  In consequence, Western man is falling away from attunement with the truth of being. This has opened the door to numerous imposter ideologies martialed by nihilists with armies and mafias. In this process of decline and disorder, the dominant pragmatic/materialist modes of thought have made nonsense out of history in the name of universal human civilization.

  1. […] Imagine two big countries with massive bureaucratic and intelligence resources. Russia and China’s strategy was managed by a vast system of think tanks and bureaus. Operations were broken into segmented tasks with briefings to high-level officials in Moscow and Beijing. Only a few officials could see the overall design. Only at the very top, where the heads of the various think tanks met, was the full blueprint known. The massive communist bureaucracies were sifted, reorganized, and prepped for each stage of the plan. Allowances were made for setbacks. Always, plans must be amended and revised, updated and corrected. This was done continually. The top leadership of Russia and China were committed to their plan. They believed that these strategies would produce a radical shift in the “correlation of forces” – in the balance of power. It was Lenin who said there was no Marxist dogma. In saying this he was paraphrasing Marx himself. Real Marxism-Leninism was a science of controlling human beings. The Marxist label could be removed. Leninism could morph into “Christianity” of a new type. It could become a new kind of Islam. It could become Buddhist. It could open the pages of Aleister Crowley’s Magick and thrill to the thought of “The Bloody Sacrifice” outlined by Crowley: “There is a Magical Operation of maximum importance: the Initiation of a New Aeon. When it becomes necessary to utter a Word, the whole Planet must be bathed in blood.”[i] […]

  2. Good round table discussion and essay. Dugin has admitted that the reason for the war was to expand Russias empire.
    Russian ideologist Dugin:

    “Without Ukraine Russia cannot become once more the empire. With Ukraine inside of Russian zone of control it will become the empire once more. That is a kind of law, nothing personal. This war or special military operation in in Ukraine is about that. It is about geopolitics.”
    And, Russia erecting Stalin and Ivan the terrible statues.

    As was said in the discussion I don’t think that Trump can negotiation us out of this. Either he gives in and allows the communists to expand or we prepare for a major war.

    Hello, Mr Nyquist. Your blog article expired last time for me to put any comment. I wasn’t able to follow up on your reply.

    ===

    As I already said previously on how concerning was President Trump and Elon Musk on our national security, my friends with top secret clearance in US defense companies said this. I have two testimonies that I feel most concise to share.

    The first one is from one of my friends working as a contractor with top secret clearance in Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) within the Pentagon. Before being a contractor, he has years of experience in the USAF in various parts of the world, and his primary expertise is in counterintelligence. He shared top concerns on President Trump whom he said to have an extensive pro-Russia past. He revealed to me that his top bosses in DoD purposely prevented Trump from obtaining critical top secret intel and other secrets because they fear that Trump will leak to the adversaries. What is most concerned to me was how he revealed to me that the US is now completely ISOLATED and BLIND. He said that the UK just terminated their special cooperation with the US on defense and intelligence where the British authorities harassed our top-secret clearance people upon entering the UK and even deported one and two of them. The UK was extremely hostile out of sudden, and the US terminated their sharing of top secret tech and intel with the UK but this hasn’t been publicized yet. Actually, he said to me that the US hasn’t been sharing any top secret material with any nation or ally since 9/11/2001. He also added the whole media articles on NATO allies are working with the US is full of crap because many NATO members were actively working with our adversaries in China and Russia. He and his bosses don’t trust any of NATO besides sending them as clients to our defense companies to make money for the US. He added that Germany and France in NATO are the most notoriously unreliable allies as their authorities are always making our contractors and agents miserable with their bureaucratic tactics. He said that Germany (in F word) hates Russia so much that they continue giving money to Russia, what a contradiction! Our military bases are also being constantly harassed and surveilled by our own allies/partners which makes his jobs much tougher in counterintelligence – he complained how our allies continually sent extremely costly bills to our DoD to host our military bases overseas. When I asked him on how the US is currently dealing with being blind in intelligence and having unreliable allies, then he said that Trump will make the problems exponentially worse. He and his bosses are going to refrain Trump from accessing critical materials through compartmentalization and other bureaucratic hurdles. On China, he assured me that the US won’t treat Chinese people like me harshly as in Japanese interment camps era. He also revealed to me that some of US top intel agents are Chinese working against the CCP but their number have been slashed to a very low number because Russia disclosed the list of Chinese agents in China to the CCP – once again he also said that Trump was partially responsible for allowing a certain Russophile member in his cabinet during 2016 term but our intelligence agencies haven’t found who leaked to the Russians.

    The second one is from my friend working as an engineer lead for Lockheed Martin with Top Secret clearance. Some of our advanced techs are lightyear ahead the rest of the world, and he said we resist our adversaries just fine with them. He revealed that our techs to Ukraine are largely obsolete stuffs to enrich our defense companies who are very self-reliant without needing much resources from other nations. The US military-industrial complex, in his word, is an autarky machine rivaling against China and Russia on its own, or even much stronger. The stuffs that we sell to NATO and Japan, other allies are underwhelming arms compared to the ones that we use for ourselves. He said that Japan has been strangely buying a lot of arms more than anyone in NATO but Japanese side keeps requesting to join our defense supply chains even at the lowest of the low but his bosses refused. He commented that Japan’s tech is crappiest out of all our allies even lesser than South Korea who is actually joining the lowest of the low level in our external supply chains – the stuffs that we produce to sell to other countries. Secondly, he commented that Japan is the least reliable ally because their laziness in counterintelligence, military, cybersecurity, technology has enabled the Chinese pretty much capturing the whole of Japan. He joked that Japan’s request to join Five Eyes means to literally invite China to join. He additionally comments on the “UAP drones” phenomenon as pranks from adversaries (or not our drones) to troll us because he said that we have actual tech to counter all drones like that but we don’t want to show our deepest secret tech easily.

    He absolutely hates Trump and Musk but he hates Musk way more. He was the one revealed to me how Elon Musk critically damaged our national security through leaking our top secret tech to the outside. I have previously discussed this on my previous post. Elon Musk’s crimes are quite grave and continue to gravely accumulate, as he said. The ongoing federal investigations against Musk’s security breaches trace all the way back around 2010s. There was a rumor that Musk sold the DoD’s secret rocket propulsion systems to China, while his lack of oversight allowed many Chinese nationals and foreign nationals gaining access to top secret tech in his companies. My friend suspected that China made some progress on their 6th gen stealth aircraft due to Musk’s engineers. Now, Musk is going to try dismissing security investigations against him and his companies with Trump’s help. My friend said that the 4 years of Trump-Musk presidency will be the global feast for spies and thieves to steal our secrets. He feared that 4 years will be good enough for our adversaries to catch up with us technologically. This is why he contemplates to leave the US within 4 years if our adversaries evidentially caught up with us. He also nodded on the idea that our intelligence on our adversaries is blind (he doesn’t know my friend in DCSA), so this also confirms many parallel intel anecdotes that I have. He evaluates that China is currently more advanced than Russia, while Russia is much stronger than China militarily. He said that both of them are pretty much together and we will get cooked if they acquires our most advanced techs within 4 years.

    ===

    After piecing all of testimonies that I have from multiple people, I realize that there has been a strange surge of UFO/UAP movements that seek to force the US disclosing their secrets. All of my testimonies seem to say that China and Russia really pursue the intelligence efforts of obtaining our top secret materials and tech before they can confidently destroy us. I believe that this possibility is worth a deeper investigation from you and others.

      Yes, Trump and Musk are working for the Russians and Chinese. 🤪🤪 A military officer told you that he, an unelected bureaucrat, is going to work against the democratically elected President?

      Well thank goodness we had Biden and Obama in there, who definitely never aided the Russian and Chinese efforts whatsoever!

    2. David: I am sobered by what you write. I know that U.S. intelligence is useless if not blind. Many people are concerned about Trump. And this UFO/UAP technology thing is growing into a serious witch hunt against U.S. defense contractors by all the usual suspects. I think there are people in the defense industries protecting us while others are trying to out our secrets. And we have politicians and intelligence and military people who either don’t care or are too stupid to understand the danger. I have Greg Autry’s contact, and he is a friend of Musk. I will return to him and ask more questions. David, if you contacts are right and Trump and Musk are this clueless and careless, then we are headed for real trouble. It is interesting that the former NORAD generals thought Russia had more advanced technology than China, and that China had the larger conventional military. It is curious how many different ways there are of evaluating these things.

        @Jeff Nyquist: Thank you, Mr Jeff. I think it is important for us to collect testimonies from many other people disregard of what their ideologies and beliefs. It is useful to get a big picture. Your interview with NORAD generals is really alarming me on what my friends have spoken about. Many of your intel are parallel with theirs but on the matter of technology I think our generals don’t have absolute picture due to compartmentalization just as our engineers don’t have understandings about intelligence warfare and hidden ideological wars. In term of tech, I personally believe that NORAD generals are correct as Russia and China are more advanced than us in certain areas, while my engineer friends are correct as we are more advanced than our adversaries in certain areas. There is a mixture of truth there!

        @ Perseus: Yes, Mr Perseus. I don’t like what they speak ideologically because none of my friends really believe in Golitsyn or communism. They believe that we (the West) are fighting the war to protect freedom against global totalitarianism. That is their ideology. Almost none of Chinese dissidents take the matter of “Russia is still communist” seriously except for at least Dr Li, Lude Wang and others who have contact with Mr Jeff. However, we need to keep our patience together to gather the best information as possible from even the people we don’t like.

        @Jeff Nyquist: I want to clarify on “China is currently more advanced than Russia, while Russia is much stronger than China militarily”. He was saying that China is generally more advanced in technologies (mostly stolen from the West) that are used in both civilian and military usages – China’s tech is mostly civilian type of advances. China is generally better than Russia in the techs for economic warfare and massive industrialization at cheap cost. Meanwhile, he comments that Russia is stronger than China in term of armed forces that comprehensively combine the categories of technology, intelligence networks, quality soldiers and warfare experiences (basically everything comprehensively relates to wars). Russia’s military technologies are certainly better than China’s but China can outproduce Russia in war machines in term of quantity.

    3. David, thank you for the inside information. It is so difficult to know what is going in Western defense/intelligence, and whether anyone there truly understands the threat from the Russia-China alliance. I have so many thoughts and questions.
      – It sounds like US intel is very distrustful of America’s supposed allies, and maybe with good reason. But is there any sense within intel circles that Russia and China are working together to take down the US?
      – The part about most NATO allies being deemed unreliable is very worrying, as is the information that Japan, for all its commitment to defending Taiwan and its wariness of Russia and China, is mostly captured by China. In what sense is Japan captured – politically, ideologically or in terms of military intelligence? Is it worse than South Korea, with its left-wing communist party and complacent population? And how could Japanese (military?) tech be so crappy given how technologically advanced Japan is in other respects?
      – I find it hard to believe that the US hasn’t been sharing any top secret material with any ally since 9/11/2001, especially with the subsequent War on Terror and invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.
      – It sounds like your contacts share some of the anti-Trump hysteria that is prevalent in the US government bureaucracy. To be fair, your friends are in a position to know things that the public doesn’t, so that’s not to dismiss their suspicions entirely. Do your contacts know anything specifically incriminating about Trump or his close aides’ dealings with Russia? It would be good to find out more about the purported intel leak to Russia during Trump’s first term.
      – Trump and his family members’ comments about Russia and Ukraine are very concerning, as is the fact that Trump is meeting with Putin but not with Zelensky. If Trump chose to speak differently the whole Trump-Russia idea would be dead in the water, and the Russian infiltration of the right would be less advanced. So for me the question is why doesn’t he. I cannot reconcile Trump’s outsized ego with a supposed fear of alienating the same pro-Russia right which, in some ways, he helped create.
      – I agree that Musk’s behaviour is a big red flag in terms of providing advanced technology to China. I cannot believe that someone who has made so much money there, and who stands out as the only Western businessman not fleeced dry by the CCP bureaucracy, is not on some level a willing agent of the CCP. Musk seems intent on parlaying his wealth and whiz kid fame into political influence, and that influence is advancing the interests of Russia and China. He is allowing Russian and Chinese propagandists free reign on X, he is bolstering the coffers and image of pro-Russia parties, he promotes EVs and climate change, and in general tries to steer the right towards an ill-considered technocratic/libertarian direction. Many of these things also fit in nicely with the Russian strategy of convergence, ie. merging the right and left into one confused communist mess. Not only is he trying to influence US trade relations with China, but just last week he wrote an article backing Germany’s AfD party ahead of the February elections.

        I just read a piece by Alex Newman in which he interviews Steven Kuhn.

        “Germany is seeing a resurgence in patriotism and conservatism through the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, explains Steven Kuhn, a strategic advisor and key insider who co-founded the populist phenomenon, in an interview on The Liberty Report with Alex Newman. With supporters like Elon Musk, the party is growing rapidly, standing as a threat to the establishment in Germany.
        From closing the border, being pro-family, and getting away from the European Union, Newman and Kuhn share how the AfD’s policies can turn the country around—and why the establishment is absolutely freaking out trying to stop it.”

          I do not trust Elon Musk. I am concerned that the President elect is allowing him to continue to be out front with so many foreign entities, groups, leaders. I do not like that he is promoting AfD and he has some very concerning ties with the CCP.

            German researcher Alex Benesch had an informative article about AfD. The AfD is not what one might think.

            The AfD is anti-American

            “The party started out as a drab, dusty project of academics and focused on getting out of the Euro-currency and collective debt. This one-trick-pony-approach didn’t work out and the party was flooded by the crazies who had understood that supporting the NPD was beating a dead horse. The easiest way by far to increase your followers is to adopt conventional conspiracy mythology….”

            “Don’t be fooled by the AfD’s sympathies for Trump and the GOP. It is a strictly anti-American, pro-Russian party.”

            https://candorintel.com/?p=2386

          2. Imagine if we stole the AfD out from under the Russians and Chinese. Imagine!

          3. People can seem one way, but their game is another.

        2. Musk could be working to steal the AfD away from Russia. It’s a game, watch carefully.

        Thanks for the reply. I will answer your questions the best as I can. The answers can be taken from other people beyond two testimonies above.

        1. Yes, the US solidly confirms that both China and Russia are solidly working together in all areas. The outer circles (CIA or NSA) are still taking times to accept the truth but the inner circles already have this hunch quite a while ago.

        2. From multiple people that I talked with, they brought up Japan as the weakest link in our alliance structure with multiple nations. Japan has almost a non-existent counterintelligence, intelligence, cybersecurity, any defense network. In fact, their testimonies confirm on how Japan regularly suffer cybersecurity attacks that paralyze the whole systems.
        https://www.bankinfosecurity.com/japanese-businesses-hit-by-surge-in-ddos-attacks-a-27216
        https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-46222026
        That’s not the worst part. Many people in our inner circles are still sore over Japan helping Russia to acquire an edge in nuclear submarine (Kongsberg-Toshiba scandal). The US has been putting Japan at the very low tier of our trust, and we don’t quite consider them as significant since the US has territorial control over Okinawa islands which really what we need in Japan – based on the treaty of San Francisco, we literally seize Okinawa islands if we want. Now, I go on a little anecdote to explain why many people in our defense tech distrust Japan which all begins in New Jersey. One of the lab scientists in New Jersey revealed to me that many of our civilian technologies being used today came from labs in New Jersey which were declassified by our military around 1950s. Computer, World Wide Web, Ethernet cable,…were largely coming from New Jersey labs. The first foreigners coming to New Jersey labs were Japanese, and they literally took our schematics away from the labs without informing us. Back then, our people thought these techs being not significant to the actual techs being worked in black sites. When Japan managed to turn those techs into huge successes in consumer products, then we started to get angry that they incurred huge trade deficits through our stolen techs from New Jersey labs. My scientist friend particularly lambasted the Japanese for stealing solar cells technology from a New Jersey lab, and these Japanese thieves later created SHARP corporation which was huge in 1980s as Japan remained the leader of solar panels until 2009. SHARP was later brought by Foxconn from Taiwan which is a pro-CCP company. China gained the access for the solar technology through Japan’s lack of oversight around 2010s, and he said that China is basically the current leader of solar technology with 80% of world’s production, usage. He said that this tech will be the new oil in the future as it will continue to evolve into better techs. That’s why the US under Trump-Biden put tariffs against Chinese solar panels to develop our own solar panels supply chains independently. As you can see, the distrust in Japan begins with the lab thefts in 1950s but when we shut down Japanese access to top labs in civilian structures, then Japan stagnated in 1980s. Japan is completely reliant on our techs, and we don’t trust them giving those techs away through complacency or infiltration. Japanese techs are basically our techs and few of European techs that Japan stole in 1950s. It’s redundant for us to use Japanese techs unless you’re in the civilian economy because Japanese techs are cheaper than our American/European techs.

        3. 9/11 completely triggered us to heighten our security clearance because many of our inner circles feared that the catastrophe happened due to certain moles knowing our defense to allow the planes dashing through American skies. Today, we still haven’t completely filled the “sky holes” that allowed 9/11 terrorism to occur, so we distrust everyone outside of the US. One of the guys in DIA told me that the whole War on Terror was largely a big contract between US armed forces and Saudi Arabia, Iran, UAE, Qatar and others to rewrite the maps of Middle East/Islamic world but largely the US paying top leaders in those countries for some secret projects over there – I tried to ask more on those black projects in Middle East but all of those guys can’t say more because their intel privilege is limited as those projects are compartmentalized to people working in that area. Invasion of Iraq was largely aided by Iran’s intelligence, and I feel astounded to hear that, so I inquired him further. He said that Iran ironically being the most aggressive participant aiding the US to take down adversaries of Iran like Saddam Hussein or Gaddafi.
        Qatar is the financier that helps Iran through all troubles, he added. He said that the War on Terror being more about keeping the global economic well-being at bay because we don’t want those jobless Muslims becoming terrorists as we still investigate intelligence breaches that allowed 9/11. Israel is our major HQ to keep our ongoing black projects in the Middle East operational.

        4. I heard that some people in the inner circles have deliberately leaked the stories of Trump’s past visits to Moscow and his various dealings with Russia. Yes, the inner people absolutely distrust Trump which will unfortunately anger some readers here. Some of the guys that I talked with even use vulgar languages when describing Trump and his family. Our people are still investigating on the intel leak on Trump’s first term, and yesterday I just read an article that confirms how Russia critically obtains important intel for China.
        https://www.newsweek.com/russia-putin-warning-china-xi-western-spies-qin-gang-pla-rocket-force-1850277

        1. Japan has cracked down since the sub tech leak 35 plus years ago. Very old news. Trump’s past has a problematic side. But I would not try to control this man. Hillary Clinton, Obama, Biden — all super bad. All have harmed our security and economy. Trump is clearly better.

          1. And solar panels clearly have never become the “oil of the future”. They are unreliable, vulnerable, and it takes a heap of them to produce a relatively small amount of electricity. Even if Japan were responsible for “stealing” that technology, it’s not like the rug was pulled out from under us or anything. This seems like someone trying to discredit or cause ill will toward what has been a faithful ally to us in recent times.

          2. David’s narratives are a bit overwrought and error prone.

      4. I have to say that David is incorrect about the U.S. refusing to share intelligence with our allies. It is not true, and many published examples can be shown.

          I think David was saying “Top Secret” intel because there are different tiers for intelligence to be shared. Even in Top Secret, you have compartmentalized parts of intelligence.

          1. Yes. I do not trust David’s source.

        There are financial incentives for ideologically asleep “rope salesmen” to facilitate ratcheting tech transfer, just to secure the next contract to counter that subsequent elevated threat level as a consequence of the ‘penetration’. And if they are 5th columnists they can then play stupid rope salesmen and not hang for treason.

        1. Yet China has not managed to catch up with U.S. technologically. I am not sure how to evaluate some of this.

      6. David King makes the claim that Japan stole much of the technology that they later commercialized. But the record I have found indicates that already by the 1930s Japan had a technologically advanced industrial base connected with a consumer society, in the 1950s that was utilized to help in the Korean war with the help of some technology transfers, but much of the rest was bought and paid for, reverse engineered or was already publicly available. Those, combined with the Japanese penchant for quality manufacturing made those products winners. Yes, there was some industrial spying, but that was not the main source of Japanese advancement.

        David King’s source repeated a common complaint from the 1980s and 1990s.

        Japan’s more recent decline has little to do with restrictions on technology transfer, more on such factors as the retirement of forward thinking, risk taking company leaders to be replaced by pencil pushers (the same thing that led to Boeing’s recent troubles), population decline, and other factors connected to Japanese culture. The result is that Japan is slowly sinking into comfortable, gentile poverty.

        China, on the other hand, doesn’t have a tradition of quality manufacturing, a technologically advanced society, and has a country leadership based on corruption and theft, so naturally they steal technology. Now they too are running into the wall of population decline, an aging society and the problems that those cause. China still has a lot of poverty.

        Whereas I expect Japan slowly to fade away, like Greece in the first centuries AD, I expect China to go out in a bang and that sooner than Jeff’s NORAD sources. That’s my reading of the news I find.

        1. This is certainly a view that is shared by many economists.

      7. Sorry, David Kung, I just noticed that spell check “corrected” my spelling of your name.

    4. “Actually, he said to me that the US hasn’t been sharing any top secret material with any nation or ally since 9/11/2001.”

      This statement is preposterous. It is absolutely false.

      Intelligence activities covers a large number of agencies and disciplines. While there may be areas such as understanding communist strategy that we are weak on, there are other areas that we are very strong in. To state that we are “blind” is a gross overstatement.

        I said Top Secret only. The US doesn’t share our secret capabilities, hidden bases and black projects to the outsiders even our allies. Other types of intel like the location of enemy movements or parents of terrorist leaders are not really Top Secret tier in our books.

        We have some capabilities ahead of all other countries; however, our intelligence on the ground is currently blind because many of our agents have eliminated and many of our agents are feeding us with fake intel. That’s why many of my guys are saying that we’re blind.

        1. David: I have talked to people with Q clearances about Musk. They trust him. Why? I don’t know.

      2. The statement is preposterous, as is much of the rest.

      This is terrifying. So basically, the Ukraine War can argued as an orchestrated drama. Jeff Nyquist put it perfectly that the war being a civil war within Russian world. However, the US has limited its intervention in Ukraine as it doesn’t take the Russian bait to join. I currently suspect that Russia and China want wars in Ukraine, Middle East and soon Taiwan to distract us from noticing them stealing our techs under Musk’s complacency.

      The communists want us to embroil in further wars, while our homefront will be vulnerable for thefts and infiltration. Within 4 years, the communists can acquire all of our most advanced techs to dominate the globe. This is my theory.

        Russia and China want war in Ukraine and Taiwan because Ukraine and Taiwan are part of the world and they plan on taking the whole world. It’s not a distraction to give them time to steal our tech. They do both at once. To simplify the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a Civil War is an oversimplification, and Nyquist never did such.

          And to say the Ukrainian repulsion of the Russian invasion is an orchestrated drama, is in line with your past statements dancing around, without saying explicitly that the Cia backed some coup in Ukraine and is fomenting supporting some proxy war. It’s bullcrap typical of you.

        “In light of Fr. Edelstein’s remarks, it is shameful to consider the countless Western politicians and intelligence officials who have publicly endorsed the fraud that is the Russian Federation. The present war in Ukraine is a war of Soviet consolidation. It is an operation to put the Humpty Dumpty of the Soviet Union back together. It is a necessary preliminary step in mobilizing the resources of a renewed communist bloc for a new world war.”

        I was referring to this part as I still consider Soviet Union still exists. Ukraine’s elites don’t want to be Soviets anymore, so they drag out the war more than a year since 2022. This can be seen as a civil war within the Soviet bloc.

        The communists can do wars and theft of our secrets at the same time but we can’t do both. If we are going to wars against communists, then our resources will be allocated to wars. We will be distracted from reinforcing our intelligence and homeland. Investigations against Musk’s security breaches will be halted, so his employees (mostly foreign agents) will pry into the deepest secret archives to steal techs and secrets. This is actually my concern that Trump will drag us into wars with Denmark over Greenland, Mexico, Canada. Meanwhile, China annexes Taiwan to escalate into their own prolonged war/blockade against Japan/South Korea. Russia finishes off Ukraine, then it will escalate into a war with NATO because Trump will attack Denmark’s Greenland or Canada whom are both NATO members. Trump will excuse to withdraw from NATO, then Russia has the opportunity of waging a continental conquest of Europe.

          1. Ukraine is holding on to its freedom and sovereignty against an invasion. Defending yourself from conquest is “dragging out a war.” I guess Xeno Man is saying Ukraine is wrong to defend itself against military aggression. I do not understand this attitude.

            I’m sure he has some convoluted bs reasoning.

          3. I don’t either.

      3. The theory does not make sense to me.

      4. “A civil war within the Russian world.”

        Finland and Sweden joining NATO is a big enough blunder, that Putin by right ought not to be alive, rather played by any number of body doubles. But to your point: all Zelensky had to do was spill the Burisma beans, and Trump would send any amount of arms, yet he didn’t (or wasn’t ‘allowed’).

        1. Ukrainian leaders have to be very careful to avoid offending either party in America.

    6. David Kung: I have reviewed your “friends” claims about NATO and Japan, Musk and Trump, and the claims are counter-factual. Most everything he says is verifiably untrue — especially about Japan and intelligence sharing with NATO. China is not ahead of Russia in military technology, and I personally heard this from some of our top generals. Sorry, but your source is a crank.

      1. A spy must elicit information from people. One possible way of doing that is to make outrageous claims that your friend says, and hope that the other person will reveal something of interest when you correct the outrageous claim. I don’t know if that is what is happening here or not, but I am definitely suspicious.

        1. DAL: The same thought crossed my mind, which is why I did not go into specifics, or name names of people I am talking to.

        Jeff Nyquist: Thanks for the response, Mr Jeff. I appreciate your feedback and understand the importance of verifying such serious claims. Given the complexity of the topics involved—especially regarding intelligence sharing, NATO, Japan, and advancements in military technology—I will take the time to cross-reference multiple credible sources and accumulate further evidence to assess the validity of the information I received.

        I fully acknowledge that some of these claims may be contentious or difficult to verify, and I respect that you have heard differing accounts from high-ranking officials. My goal is to find the truth by carefully examining facts from various angles, regardless of their beliefs and ideologies. I believe an objective approach, grounded in evidence, is essential when dealing with matters of national security and the fight against communism.

        I’ll be sure to keep an open mind as I continue my research.

        1. David: Some of the things you contact claimed are just wrong. General knowledge of Japan’s strategic situation and technology leaves me baffled. The idea that China is technologically ahead of Russia is also baffling. China has no current operational hypersonic ICBM units as Russia does, which can strike the USA. Russia is ahead. Same with the longer range cruise missiles, more quiet submarines, etc. Russia is ahead of China is so many areas anyone who makes such a claim is simply not paying attention to the deployment and readiness of advanced strategic systems. As for saying that Japan is the weak link, I am sorry. Japan’s intelligence service has a good reputation. None of the Western services are as good as the Russians. But the Japanese are much more reliable than the Germans, French, or many other NATO countries.

      3. That’s good to know about the Japanese intelligence service. Now if they could just hurry up and build nukes 🙂

    Phenomenal article, Jeff. Thank you for your continued work on this. It seems as if they are activating their “terrorist” arm. All of a sudden, after relatively few attacks during Biden’s reign, one in New Orleans and one outside Trump tower occur. The controlled “press” reports it as “truck crashes into people”.

    Hopefully this does not signify the start of more operations like these. Hopefully Trump is able to realize who is really behind it and does not perceive Putin as a pragmatic potential partner, but as the clearly hostile actor he is.

    When the Marxists are inside the government, they attack from the inside. When outside, from the outside. As Van Jones said, top down, bottom up, inside out. It’s so predictable it’s almost pathetic. I worry about Trump’s inauguration in light of events like these.

  5. Sokolovsskii was correct, if and only if nuclear weapons can so demoralize an enemy population that they give up.

    But here in the States, nukes would have to be used for every small town to achieve that sort of victory. Oh sure, nukes would kill off maybe 100 million people here, but where do the people most likely to fight and least likely to surrender live? Crowded in the cities, or more spread out in the smaller cities, or even towns that aren’t worth nukes? What does the breakdown of counties that voted for Trump show?

    Is Skirdo correct, “The only states or coalitions which will be able to endure the severe trials of war are those having the objective and subjective conditions for the buildup of moral potential in both peacetime and wartime. In the socialist states, these conditions are fulfilled.” Are they fulfilled? In the case of China, will the widespread hatred of the CCP finally break out into open rebellion?

    “Christians will expect the return of Christ and forget their duty to resist the enemy.” While that is true for many Christians, is there already a spreading backlash against the über eschatology movement among Christians who see the many failed prophesies that were made? Further, how many Christians are armed and ready to fight against an invasion?

    I would disagree that China has unlimited reserves of manpower. In fact, the CCP may need to keep some of their forces inside China to continue the subjugation of the population. To ensure the political stability of the military, the PLA will largely have to limit their recruitment to CCP members, and their numbers are not unlimited.

    A recent report out of China mentions that the malls are empty, but the hospitals are overcrowded. And people are beginning to question the vaccines.

    It is the Bible that invented factual history. It did so to show God’s actions into space-time history. But to keep from becoming too large, it leaves out large swaths of information that don’t advance the narrative of God’s actions.

    However, western man has turned his back to God and the truth. As a result, they fall for anything. In Europe, even the majority of churches no longer teach the Bible and truth.

    One thing I wanted to mention last time is that if Trump and his team play their cards right, the U.S. too will be much stronger. Right now, Biden and Co. have largely stripped even ammo from our forces. The Navy has mothballed ships because of lack of crew for them. Give our forces warrior pride again to attract recruits and the navy could bring mothballed ships out. Open our factories to producing ammo, missiles, so our troops would be ready to fight. Right now we are very weak and unprepared for battle. In four year’s time, we could be significantly stronger.

      I am very dismayed that so many Christians, both here in the UK and even more so in the US, expect Christ’s imminent return and I have noted that mainstream platforms, esp. YouTube, shadow ban or obliterate comments arguing against that. It’s as if “they” are more than pleased to see Christians so deceived.

      My view is, of course, ultra Reformed. That is, Christ will not return until the conditions outlined in Daniel 2 are fulfilled first, which reduce to a removal of all ungodly rulership from the face of this earth and godly government growing to fill the corridors of power in every single nation in a process that begins with a devastating and sudden collapse of the western world order under the circumstances outlined in Revelation 11’s “great (political) earthquake”, which begins with the West’s most pre-eminent and powerful nation. The English Puritans naturally believed that nation would be the UK, but I say it will be the US and it will happen later this decade.

      As for Russia’s and China’s state of readiness for war, I believe that the quagmire in Ukraine is indeed good cover for a more stridently focussed mobilisation. However, the economies of both Russia and China are not in pristine health and this I see as a foreshadowing of a time-buying catastrophic collapse in living standards in all the BRICS nations ca. 2026/27, styled in Rev 16’s second plague as the “sea” being turned into “blood”, the sea being the barbarian world beyond the “earth” that is the West and clotted blood symbolising the ruined vitality and morale of its inhabitants. The disquiet from this will lead to martial law and an surge in oppression in the East, concurrent with the same in the West (here due to the mass civil bedlam of the third plague, courtesy of all our unwanted new arrivals from overseas), and this heavy handed governmental response is represented by the “sun” (of temporal power) scorching humanity.

      None of the foregoing will alter Russian and Chinese plans for war, but rather will delay them and set both on a course to find a way to reboot their destroyed economies / financial systems. This will lead, in my view, to the coming doomed resource-grab in the Levant which, when it fails, will compel the surviving elements of the Russian high command to spitefully enact a “Samson option” all-out strike on every major western city, confirming Dostoevsky’s apocalyptic streak theory, which is one and the same as Berdyaev’s view of the Russians as “a people of the end”, fulfilling their compulsive striving after “something final” (to quote Dostoevsky again). This will be the “great hail” of Revelation 16:21, and the “fire” sent by God in Ezekiel 39:6, and it is this, in diametric opposition to the design of its initiators, that will usher in the end of the ungodly rulership over the affairs of humanity forever.

      1. Quietman: there you go doing exactly what I decried as über eschatology—you go so far as to set dates. Those of you who push eschatology are the squeaky wheels: those of us who cannot find your eschatology in the Bible mostly stay silent because we don’t see the issue as important enough over which to make a ruckus. I have held off of responding to your prophesies on this blog because I do not want to make Jeff’s blog into a theological dispute.

        In short, I don’t find your prophesies in the Bible. Don’t reply to this message, trying to convince me that you are correct as I take a very literal approach to the Bible, eschewing fanciful interpretations and date settings.

      2. I don’t blame you, all the date-setting thus far has been disastrous. But we shall see.

        I understand completely, as all date-setting so far has been disastrous. You don’t find these predictions in the Bible because you don’t have the interpretive groundwork for seeing them.

    If I understand China’s thinking back in he late 90’s, it favored biological warfare (virus-based, gene-based, etc.) over nuclear warfare to avoid possible contamination of farmland. Incredible, BTW, that China’s allowed to purchase land around military facilities?!

    1. Yes. And they still favor bio-weapons.

      1. Ever since I began watching footage of the use of drones in the war in Ukraine, and seen how each side has rapidly advanced the capabilities of drones, I have been thinking how easy and logical would it be for the Chinese operatives that are here to smuggle in, or just assemble over here, thousands or millions of cheap drones, and just drop canisters of deadly disease pathogens in towns, cities, and communities all over America?

        Probably one or more they have been inoculated against or built up resistance in some other way.

        The possibilities are endless, but you have alluded to such possibilities in your Origins book anyway, albeit it would be so much easier and feasible to do with massive numbers of cheap drones now.

        They could hit the military and industrial targets with nukes, and the populace with pathogens.

        1. In fact, this is surely a major adjustment they are making, and may be a big part of why they need a little more time. If I were a leader contemplating conquest of a huge landmass filled with many ingenious people, and suddenly faced the many beneficial possibilities of using drones to devastating effect on such populace, I would definitely take some time to readjust my plans.

          Did you see that in WW2 Japan had plans to launch balloons filled with clay pots full of bubonic plague infested fleas into the US? Drones spraying bio weapons is certainly possible. I recall several news articles about Chinesse bio weapons labs being discovered in CA. One in an abandoned office building owned by a Chinese massage or beauty parlor madam.

          1. I have read that about the Japs considering dropping plague-infested fleas on the U.S.

            In fact, Nyquist may have made reference to that fact in Origins as well.

          2. The Japanese had some crazy schemes with balloon, yes. They sought to set off forest fires in the northwest as well.

  8. Yes, Happy New Year to Jeff and everyone! Jeff, outstanding article as always. I especially appreciated that quote you included from Fr. Georgi Edelstein. I had not come across that before.

    Jeff, in the comments section of your last article, you stated that you didn’t believe the drones were of Chinese origin because “some patriotic person in the Pentagon would have leaked the story by now….”

    Over the holiday weekend, however, that appears to have happened. A special forces soldier named Matthew Livelsberger, who was by all accounts a MAGA patriot, became fed up enough with the lack of coverage his claims were getting that he set off a fireworks explosi0n inside a Tesla Cybertruck at Trump International Hotel, Las Vegas, resulting in zero civilian casualti€s. There is speculation online that he chose the Cybertruck due to its strength, to prevent any casualti€ from the fireworks. There’s also speculation that he may have placed a de@d b0dy inside the Cybertruck before detonati0n. It’s unlikely he was even aware of the New Orleans terr0r att@ck a few hours prior, which the explosi0n would later be linked to and characterized as a terr0r att@ck, and subsequently buried in the news cycle.

    Here is the text of “drone whistlebl0wer” Matthew Livelsberger’s “manifest0.” I have edited letters in certain keywords so it hopefully won’t be cens0red by WordPress:

    “In case I do not make it to my decision point or on to the Mexico border I am sending this now. Please do not release this until 1JAN and keep my identity private until then.

    “First off I am not under dur€ss or hostil€ influence or control. My first car was a 2006 Black Ford Mustang V6 for verification.

    “What we have been seeing with “drones” is the operational use of gravitic propulsion systems powered aircraft by most recently China in the east coast, but throughout history, the US. Only we and China have this capability. Our OPEN location for this activity in the box is below.

    “China has been launching them from the Atlantic from submarines for years, but this activity recently has picked up. As of now, it is just a show of force and they are using it similar to how they used the balloon for sigint and isr, which are also part of the integrated coms system. There are dozens of those balloons in the air at any given time.

    “The so what is because of the speed and stealth of these unmanned AC, they are the most dangerous thre@t to nation@l secur!ty that has ever existed. They basically have an unlimited paylo@d capacity and can park it over the WH if they wanted. It’s checkmate.

    “USG needs to give the history of this, how we are employing it and weapon!zing it, how China is employing them and what the way forward is. China is poised to att@ck anywhere in the east coast.

    “I’ve been followed for over a week now from likely homel@nd or FB1, and they are looking to move on me and are unlikely going to let me cross into Mexico, but won’t because they know I am arm€d and I have a massive VBI€D. I’ve been trying to maintain a very visible profile and have kept my phone and they are definitely digitally tr@cking me.

    “I have knowledge of this program and also w@r crim€s that were covered up during airstrik€s in Nimruz province Afghanistan in 2019 by the admin, DoD, D€A and C1A. I conducted targeting for these strik€s of over 125 buildings (65 were struck because of CIVCAS) that kill€d hundreds of civilians in a single day. USFORA continued strik€s after spotting civilians on initial ISR, it was supposed to take 6 minutes and scramble all aircraft in CENTCOM. The UN basically called these w@r crim€s, but the administration made them disappear. I was part of that cover-up with USFORA and Agent [Redacted] of the D€A. So I don’t know if my abducti0n attempt is related to either. I worked with GEN Millers 10 staff on this as well as the response to Bala Murghab. AOB-S Commander at the time. [Redacted] can validate this.

    “You need to elevate this to the media so we avoid a world w@r because this is a mutually assured destructi0n situation.

    “For vetting my Linkedin is Matt Berg or Matthew Livelsberger, an active duty 18Z out of 1-10 my profile is public. I have an active TSSCI with UAP USAP access.”

    [USAP may stand for Unacknowledged Special Access Program, a rogu€ program that does not operate under the purview of the US military or US government.]

    Below is a link to the “manifest0” and a video of former US Navy Seal and CIA contractor Shawn Ryan interviewing Sam Shoemate, the intelligence officer and Chief Warrant Officer 2 (US Army, Retired) to whom Matthew Livelsberger sent the manifest0. Please change the number zero in “manifest0” to an “o” for the link to work correctly.

    Jeff, I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on all this:

      1 person dies, 7 hurt in Tesla truck fire outside Trump’s Las Vegas hotel
      https://www.voanews.com/amp/tesla-truck-explodes-outside-trump-vegas-hotel-1-killed-7-injured/7921371.html

      1. Yes, the person who died was supposedly Matthew Livelsberger, inside the Cybertruck. But there’s speculation online that it may have been a body placed in the car that was already dead, perhaps from a morgue. Apparently the DNA doesn’t match his son’s.

        As for the injuries, I haven’t seen any news reports about any of those people. If you watch the video, no one was anywhere near the Cybertruck when the fireworks went off. It was such a weak explosion that there was very little damage to the building. The FBI even remarked that they were surprised that such an experienced officer could build such a weak bomb.

        If you watch the Shawn Ryan Show interview at the YouTube link above, it details this theory and more. I’m not defending the methods used, but this is just the sort of thing someone might do if they were desperately trying to get Trump’s attention.

          Yeah I saw the Ryan interview and Ryan Mcbeths clips about the guy Ryan interviewed talking in the past about US helicopter pilots not getting flight training because funds were allocated to Ukraine support instead. Rabbit hole I’m not going down. But surely blowing yourself and a car up is self discrediting.

        2. Ryan left some details out. This guy was psychologically messed up, and his wife told him that his won was not his. She had always been cheating on him. What more is needed to set a person off?

            bedlamsbard1

            There was supposedly a few of his buddies saying there was a marked change in his personality lately and another bit about his psychiatric meds being very recently changed.

          2. Yes.

      2. I’m sorry, instead of “casualties,” I should have written, “zero civilian deaths.” To be clear, there were seven injuries and one death (possibly Matthew Livelsberger, who is a soldier, not a civilian).

        I apologize for the error, but hope it doesn’t detract from the overall message of my post.

      3. @bedlamsbard1 I agree that blowing yourself up would be self-discrediting. But would setting off fireworks in a car that held a b0dy you’d taken from the morgue also be discrediting? Maybe. From our perspective it wasn’t a bright thing to do. But desperate people do desperate things. Especially desperate people who think they’re being tailed by the FBI and DHS. And especially desperate people who think we’re on the brink of mutually assured destruction.

        If he hadn’t done it, we certainly wouldn’t be reading his emails or debating his theories now. We would never have heard of him. Trump never would’ve heard of him. So from that perspective, maybe it wasn’t as dumb as it looked. Again, I’m not condoning what he did, just trying to understand it.

        Seriously, if this guy turns up in Mexico and starts doing interviews, I’m going to be all ears.

        1. My from the briefing I received on Monday, I believe there is video that shows a live person shooting themselves in the vehicle. It is hard to see, and very little detail, but I believe there is video footage very suggestive of a suicide.

      4. Jeff, if Livelsberger’s wife had previously told him his son wasn’t his, then why did the FBI take the son’s DNA to try to identify him? It makes absolutely no sense. It’s a hole in their story. So then we must ask, what else might they be lying about? Livelsberger was trying to release information that the US government clearly doesn’t want the public to know about— secret technologies, an enemy threat to the entire East Coast, war crimes. The military, FBI and DHS had every reason to try to smear him. I think we should all at least briefly entertain the notion that his claims might be true, and explore the implications as a mental exercise— if nothing else.

        1. I do not understand why it is a hole in the FBI’s story. We do not have enough detail to determine that. My information is that Livelsberger’s information has not been verified. I will know more in a few days.

      5. @Jeff, I only just saw this reply. If Livelsberger’s wife had just told him he was not biologically related to his son (which supposedly set off the cascade of events leading to the Cybertruck being blown up), why would his wife then tell the FBI that they could use the DNA of the son (who’s not biologically related to Livelsberger) to identify his body?

        1. It is simple. They wanted to verify if the wife was telling the truth. If the DNA did not match, then the wife was not covering up for her husband’s political motives. So the bombing/suicide really was a triggered by personal betrayal.

    2. K: Yes, I have been following this story about the Las Vegas bomber. I have grave reservations about his mental state and reliability. He was on psyche meds. His wife betrayed him. We should be cautious about his claims, especially his thing for Shawn Ryan. Very suspect. Personal suicides that cry for attention are not to be trusted.

      1. Jeff, when I first read all the details, I was expecting the “manifesto” to be the ravings of a suicidal lunatic. But instead everything Livelsberger said made perfect sense, and lined up with much of what we already knew. I particularly noticed that the “manifesto “ wasn’t all about him— it was barely about him. It just wasn’t what you’d expect from someone who was suicidal. In fact in the “manifesto,” Livelsberger barely referred to himself. Instead he was focused on the safety of the country, and getting the truth out about our enemy— the CCP. His writings could have warned about the Jews, the Rothchilds or Rockefellers, the Freemasons or Illuminati. But no, he correctly identified the enemy as the CCP.

        A question— has anyone on this blog seen any actual evidence that he was on psych meds, or that his wife had left him? I have not. All I’ve heard is the FBI repeating that claim. If the body doesn’t match the son’s DNA, then I find that extremely odd. Maybe Livelsberger had found out the son wasn’t his, as people have speculated. But if that were indeed the case, then why would the boy’s mother have let the FBI take his DNA for testing? Because she didn’t know who the father was, either? Well, then why would she have told him it wasn’t his son in the first place? The whole story just seems more and more iffy to me.

        1. K: I saw the Shawn Ryan interview about this and was curious. On Monday I received a briefing from a professional researcher who had been working on this story continuously since it broke. The researcher was not entirely satisfied with the case as presented by law enforcement, but he had not found any reason to distrust law enforcement either. He confirmed a number of details about Libelsberger. He was suffering from the kind of injuries soldiers who use demolitions on operations eventually suffer from. He had psychiatric problems and was on medications. He told me this was confirmed. He did not tell me how this was confirmed. I will be speaking with him again next Monday and will learn more. The stories about gravity drive are interesting. Ryan has covered stories from special forces operators who have encountered this kind of thing before. But when this involves the UFO/UAP disclosure movement and Steven Greer, I am a bit worried about the political angle. Greer is not someone I trust. On the other hand, I think there are some honest and important witnesses in the disclosure movement. I have said that something is going on. Not sure what it is, but something is there.

          As for the allegations about the air strikes in Afghanistan destroying over a hundred buildings and hundreds of people, my intelligence is that there are not large complexes of buildings like that for targeting in Afghanistan. What was described sounds like a fantasy and not something real. Perhaps something will surface to validate it, but so far it looks false. As I noted before, I will let the readers here know what I learn next Monday.

        BTW Livelesberger claims the anti-grav drones are technology that only the US and China possess. As if China could or would conceal it from Russia. As if Russia couldn’t steal it from the US. If it’s even real. And this guy never released any proof. No dead man’s switch.

        1. China’s possession of this technology makes no sense given what we know China is producing right now. I find the story hard to credit. But always, I keep an open mind.

            If any terrestrial government where in possession of the kind of tech. demonstrated over our ICMB sites described by dozens of military witnesses in Robert Hastings UFOs and nukes, there would be no reason to build nukes ICBMs SSBNs F-22 s etc.

          2. A curious observation as we are not developing ICBMs any longer. But then, we are making other weapons.

            Those siting of war winning physics defying craft in Hastings book materializing over ICBM sites date back to the 70s and 80s. We were building ICMBS and nukes then.

            And weve continued to build all manner of shorter than Intercontinental missiles, subs fighter jets etc.

          5. Yes.

      3. According to Nick Cooke’s book, Russia also possesses this technology. They allegedly recovered it from Germany after World War II. Apparently the foo fighters used this technology during the war. Whether Germany also came up with this technology on their own, or whether they somehow got it from Tesla or the US, I do not remember. I haven’t read the book in about ten years.

        I don’t fault Livelsberger for not knowing the Russians also had it. He only knew what he was told.

        I have seen video of a saucer-shaped craft flying in formation with US Air Force jets. This was back before there were deepfakes, and the video didn’t appear to be doctored. It was unfortunately removed from YouTube years ago.

        (Also, Russia is currently holding back submarine tech from China, and China may be more advanced than Russia on some of their hypersonic gliders. I don’t believe they just share information entirely freely. There’s an element of bargaining that goes on, and some technologies are withheld, at least for a time. Jeff, if this is wrong, please correct me.)

    1. Wish I could get to the bottom of it.

      1. Better start working on that top-secret clearance, then— I think Tesla’s papers are located in a crate right next to the Ark of the Covenant. 😉

        Ha. In all seriousness, UAPs are, in my opinion, the most fascinating topic there is. Especially if the US military really is conducting interplanetary missions, as Dr. Paul LaViolette (who if you do a little digging, is decidedly *not* a quack) implies in his book. This would certainly explain why NASA keeps having to randomly cut all the live feeds of various spacecraft.

        1. There have definitely been deceptive intelligence operations touching on UFOs. What are these operations tasked to accomplish? Sowing false stories can have several purposes. The KGB was also playing this game.

  9. BTW, the Salon article ultimately rejects Cooke’s claims, but there was enough interesting info from the book that I linked to the article anyway. I found the book to be quite credible.

    The Chinese infiltrating the USA from the south include a lot of organized crime syndicates, but if they’re really smart then they’d infiltrate special forces to conduct sabotage and train American leftists into a Red Army.

    It’s a win-win for the Red Chinese: the leftists destabilize the USA further, which subtracts from our ability to take the fight to them. Chinese assets remain undercover and/or protected in leftist zones. The Red Chinese can claim plausible deniability because it’s “the people rising up.” Regardless of whether they win or lose, the American leftists will do most of the dying; if they win then the American left will be too weak to resist purges, and if they lose then they lose the minimum number of loyal Chinese assets.

      It would be too much of a risk considering what we already know about the CCP’s plans (see General Chi Haotian’s speech) for the US and probably North America as a whole. If your goal is to wipe out the vast majority of the American population and colonize the continent, the very LAST thing you want is more people with guns, tactical acumen, and the ability to use both.

      And besides, you know how factious leftists are, pretty much by nature? Like the Socialist Revolutionaries and Mensheviks before them, some would, even after the final “embrace-Marxist-Leninism/Xi-Jinping-Thought-or-die” ultimatum to the useful idiots, inevitably decide to go down swinging with their training. Most won’t, of course, but some will.

    There are some comments here about the AfD – which range from completely wrong to a nightmare.

    The AfD was founded by German conservatives of a patriotic stripe who opposed the way the euro was introduced. Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who was forced to promise to support an EU common currency in connection with the partial reunification of Germany, had from the outset refused to allow a common EU currency to also be a debt community. With Kohl’s downfall (brought about by Merkel with the support of the socialists Heiner Geißler, Rita Süssmuth and Kurt Biedenkopf – all CDU), the euro was introduced with a debt union and Merkel’s rain of money for foreign countries in the Genscher sense. Merkel started her career as Chancellor with Gorbachev’s communist program: climate, climate, climate – it was she who also launched the annual climate conferences, which now provide hundreds of millions of dollars to the global South aka East. Then it moved on to energy – shutting down nuclear power plants with the help of a pseudo-scientific ethics group, and then eliminating the German borders. All of this led to the euro-critical AfD party changing its agenda and focusing its program primarily on illegal migration (violating the Dublin Agreement is equivalent to illegal migration). With the pandemic came the lockdowns, which Merkel had authorized by the pseudo-scientific Leopoldina. Science was used entirely in the spirit of Lenin / Gramsci. But with all her communist machinations, Merkel has also ensured that more and more Germans are refusing to accept the national masochism imposed by socialist groups like eg the Frankfurter Schule – becoming patriotic, living German values, thinking and acting morally. The media can only watch idly, even if they spit venom and bile. These people, who have freed themselves from Merkel’s clutches, often feel represented by the AfD.

    In around 20 years, the former single-issue party AfD has developed into a catch-all for many different views – anti-Semitism is not one of them; but it still has the CDU economic program of the 1980s in its program. And this economic program is ordoliberal (pro-Russian and pro-Chinese and in no way anti-American – it includes all) – so it is completely understandable that an entrepreneur like Elon Musk gives the AfD a good report in this regard. Incidentally, he did not do any election advertising – only highlighted the AfD’s economic program and also pointed out the general patriotism of this party.

    If we look at the other parties represented in the German Bundestag, we find plenty of anti-American resentment, pro-Chinese thinking and Russia also comes off well for the majority. The possible Chancellor Friedrich Merz, CDU, can even imagine a black-green government in which Robert Habeck can continue to deindustrialise the country on behalf of the communists. Adenauer, Strauss and Kohl are turning in their graves.

    It should be noted that the Greens’ advocacy of military support for Ukraine could easily be tactical in the interests of the Russian-Chinese long-term strategy (disarmament of Germany and where the billions in support might go). Money will continue to flow to Hamas via the Green Foreign Ministry; the Foreign Minister will travel to Syria and, with her appearance there, will ensure a kind of recognition of the Russian strike arm: the HTS. This way of thinking is also spreading in Germany …

    1. Very good comment on German politics. My only question is whether Strauss belongs with Adenauer and Kohl. Strauss saved East Germany’s economy for about ten years. Why would he be rolling in his grave?

      1. Birgit Naujeck Avatar
        Birgit Naujeck

        Jeff, The billion-Deutsche Mark deal had been arranged in advance in the back rooms by the SPD, in the person of Chancellor Helmut Schmidt. After Schmidt’s motion of censure, Strauß had to step in. According to “hearsay”, Kohl simply refused to allow a communist state in decline any kind of recovery; and that settled the Kohl / Strauss power game once and for all.

        1. Do you have links for this? I am curious to clarify.

    Pretty much the Orthodox colonization playbook, including various pagan symbols into the church and setting up religious buildings on their magic locations like cave river outlets etc so as to trick the gods in people in thinking they would be fed properly.

    Incidentally Marxists have been studying back again paganism and making ecumenical shrines of the like of Maria Lionza goddess married to Bolivar in Venezuella because they sense that these gods lately are not fed properly and people are not too keen to be fed marching orders as a substitute. It really is an empire of the minds the way Babylonians promised to care for syrian or persian kingdoms. Except that this time the goddess is more an Astarte taking the seat and position of the virgin in catholicism instead of the virgin at Lourdes taking over the mountain spring water spot. And note that democrats rewriting democrat racist history by establishing the like of Kamala Harris harlot or “good” Michelle Obama under ambiguous images of innocence mixed with proletarian sexual worker undertones reeks in the same way.

    Russia is holding off using nukes only because China does not want Japan and Taiwan to arm up as a result of a nuke attack on non nuke equipped nation. Basically that is the holding pattern. Once China attacks Taiwan, all bets are off, soon after nukes will fly in Ukraine, Taiwan and later Japan and Europe and US.

    The intel community is very unethical too of late, refusing to acknowledge the grey terror idea that October 7 Hamas attack was birthday gift to Putin. Interestingly, Syria is undergoing a perestroika deception ops involving a regression to grey terror with HTS now saying Russia can keep Tartus while Assad is being poisoned in prison in “Russia”. So, here is a recycling going on where ai think that Hezbollah will join HTS ultimately, the way Russia recognized the Talebans, while little did we want to admit that the Talebans were in Russian backpockets on 911 (birthday of founder of KgB).

    Note also the Russian blood crisis, so to speak, the Russian man begging to make his blood relevant, offering to gods, hoping Putin and communists will revalue those properly. This is a very theocratic angle, but right now the gods are satisfied for a time, but it also makes Putin drunk and entitled to said blood and thus makes him do mistakes. There are arguments that the fall of the Soviet Union was due to the spirits of Shamans coming out after having been massacred by red troops in previous times… well, it certainly is not the West’s doing if Russia breaks up.

    1. Very interesting insight on why China is against using nukes at present. Japan would arm with nukes if f Russia used them against Ukraine. Yes. Important point.

      According to Sarah Adams in Shawn Ryan show #149 the date October 7 2023 for hamas attacks was chosen because President Bush held a speech October 7 2001 announcing the Enduring Freedom operation. This sounds like a better explanation to the timing of the attacks than Putin’s birthday being the reason. President Bush’s speech fit better for rallying the terrorists for action. Putin’s birthday may be relevant, but coincidentally and for a different group of people.

      1. Only one problem with that theory. The son of a top Hamas leader said the attack was a birthday gift to Putin.

      That is true for westerners. But is it tru for Al-Qaida? Think they have forgotten a speech that starts a war against them?

      Sarah Adams said some other things in that episode that are alarming. If she is correct, we are in for a rough time. In a nut shell, 1000 newly trained terrorists deployed for attacks in USA and equal numbers for western Europe. Key targets, USA, UK, France and two more European countries.

      She also said that recruitment of new terrorist’s have increased very much since October 7 2023.

    As for the disoriented and demoralized, indeed. I have noted that when people get frustrated monetarily or in relationships, they tend to lash out at a third party in retaliation, and especially if that third party is relatively successful, because they will attribute their relationship failure on the other one “stealing” that relationship from them. And the same goes with money because relationship and money is tied, especially in a society of family honor breakdown as seen in the ghettos (they are not really ghetto in the tribal sense of it, just potential socialist worker forces in prison holding patterns). “Good people” can turn on you in a second while you were there trying to be buddy with them, attributing their own failures on you, because you simply do not feed their narcissism, and life looks more and more like prison “life” where you cannot trust anyone.

    I have noted in particular liberals craving the rewriting of history and of their own image. There is no brainwash in the normal propaganda sense of it, but instigated cognitive dissonance and arrogance (much like islam favoring illiterates and instigating them on more literate family holdings or tribes). This cognitive-dissonance is a vicious circle feeding on a high of being satisfied by it using emotions of victimhood as a trump card in any failing argument, for instance. It really is an auto-brainwash on demand condition and it is highly shared around out of universities. It is a crisis of “unclean blood” seeking a re-valuation that a thug type big brother will give them. AI soon is to replace these people, and that is seen as exacerbating their own crisis of blood relevance. Seems like a perfect set up for a terrorism suicide bombing capture: destroy a tribe and tribal connections, humiliate, and the humiliator can however offer a cynical hand with something to satisfy that sensation of humiliation by attacking others not giving in.

    The unethical media and intel community are too getting demoralized the same way. They blabber around recklessly opinions and do not have to check on their interpretations, refuse challenges to those. This is the same mentality of the conspiracy theorist given the armchair CIA general seat, feeling strong in interpretations without checking who feeds them this,

      1. When Trump says boisterous things like this, I often think of what a Mexican told me about a guy one time:

        “He like to talka the sheet”, lol

      2. Maybe this is all part of the Trump-Musk plan to steal the AfD party away from Russia? Trump’s joking makes as much sense as anything these days. In the Canada link, he boasts that as the 51st state Canada would be protected from Russian and Chinese ships, only we know from Jeff’s conversation with NORAD commanders that’s not true.

        Will Trump be a serious president? Hmm. I share Victor Rud’s skepticism.

        1. Yes. I also share Rudd’s skepticism. But there is always the chance Trump will stumble onto the truth. I cannot help crossing my fingers. After all, we’re still alive. Which is a real mystery.

        2. It’d be best to for him to secure America’s borders, and deport all invaders before making such boastful statements. And what is the point of this silly talk of renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America? This rhetoric is very unbecoming and it grates on me badly.

          1. The rhetoric from Trump on a number of issues is bizarre and worrisome. Making Canada and Greenland part of the United States. Do we really need more leftist senators?

      3. @ Jeff
        Yes, we must continue to hope. And certainly Trump would have to stumble over the truth, since he has already heard and rejected Golitsyn’s thesis.

        1. It seems that Golitsyn’s thesis may be coming into vogue per the new book on Golitsyn that affirms the validity of his predictions. Who had this book published and why? Who is Charles River Editors? Why publish a book on Golitsyn now? Is he being rehabilitated?

          1. What is the title of the book?

      4. Some of the Canadia Provinces might join, but not all of them. I cannot see the country as a whole going over. The French part would not like it. Do we want French Canada inside the USA?

      5. China is involved in Greenland (https://www.clingendael.org/pub/2020/presence-before-power/4-greenland-what-is-china-doing-there-and-why/), in Panama (Chinese companies operate at least parts of the Panama Canal), and in Canada. Perhaps this is the Trumpian way of reasserting the Monroe Doctrine.

        1. I had read that about China being involved in Greenland before. It definitely makes perfect sense to me to have a presence there at least as a strategic outpost, or to just keep China and Russia from having it.

          Also, it was the very heighth of suicidal stupidity to give up the Panama Canal. China is heavily vested there too. I doubt we can get it back.

          But this over the top rhetoric is needless and foolish. It’s not the way of a wise statesman.

        2. Interesting.

      6. I suspect this is Trump’s opening bid in a negotiation process where the end goal is increased access, influence, and advantage for America in these three countries and a reduction in the same for the Chinese. Trump seems to like to begin his negotiations by getting in the other person’s head.

      7. One should never take what Trump says too literally.

        1. The thing is, he shouldn’t be akin to the little boy who cried wolf. The control of the tongue is the mark of a wise man. An unbridled tongue is the mark of a fool. It’s foolish to talk like this. He shouldn’t do it.

    1. The whole Greenland thing is odd. I do not exactly understand it. Talking with the NORAD Generals, they never mentioned it. They lack the basic resources to defend North America from the Northwest, where the Russian and Chinese bombers and missiles would come. Greenland is to the Northeast. This baffles me. I do not understand threatened Denmark with tariffs. The whole thing does not make sense. And besides, Denmark has given us basing rights there.

        There were PLAN naval base lease proposals in Greenland in the past. Our own would lower the costs for sorties to monitor Russia’s (in addition to Sweden & Finland now). As for the Leafs, there was the issue of that P3 Winnipeg Lab in July 2019 (earliest publicly admitted presence of CV-19), and curiously the Trucker protests there on the heels of Dutch farmers being shot in the streets culminating prematurely with the opening of the Ukraine Invasion; all of this was with Fidel Castro’s illegitimate son at the helm . . . total capitulation would be cheaper than futile invasion resistance to punish pefidy beyond The Zimmerman Note’s most maximalist ideal, after all . . .

        1. If China built a base in Greenland any American failure to invade Greenland would be treason.

      2. Also, I don’t think his bombastic, unnecessary talk about us getting Greenland is conducive to maintaining the goodwill necessary from the Greenlanders and Danish to keep our base there.

        1. There is a bad impression given to our Scandinavian allies. Yes.

    I just watched your most recent video with Jean Robin. It seems that you vaguely mentioned what David Kung said.

    https://youtu.be/0cG6hfCymoM

    I have a few questions on your friends’ confirmation against David Kung’s testimony.

    – You mentioned that you guys said that Musk could give the highest advanced techs to China but the communists wouldn’t figure out how to make them functional. This seems to be too bravado in the same way of saying that Soviets couldn’t build a nuke if we gave them know-hows back in 1945. Do you think that Elon Musk purposely leak techs to mislead China because it seems to be extremely risky as the communists can make dangerous advances with tiny bits of know-how?

    – Do your friends vouch for Musk’s loyalty and discipline that aligns with the Western interests? Did any of your friends discuss about the ongoing federal investigation against Musk’s companies having security breaches?

    – What do you think about Trump’s policies regarding to Denmark’s Greenland, Mexico, Canada so far? I have a feeling that they can be too full of pride.

    – Do your sources from NORAD and Q clearances believe that we are still fighting communism or the truth from Anatoliy Golitsyn?

    1. There is no doubts expressed regarding Musks’s loyalty by people who are better informed than David’s source. As with all persons in high places, they do not seem clear that we are fighting communism. Trump’s statements about Canada and Greenland are statements rather than policies. These statements are curious given the very real threat from China via Canada.

      1. The intelligence people who trust Musk, is it possible they could be wrong or misinformed? I mean, we still have to contend with the fact that Western intelligence has been penetrated and subverted for decades by the Soviets and their allies. Their well-placed operatives would be sure to cover for any important Western figures who were or are currently collaborating with the Communist bloc, whether Musk or Biden, or other people we don’t know about.

        1. I don’t know.

  15. Quote from upthread:
    Jeff Nyquist
    January 7, 2025
    Musk could be working to steal the AfD away from Russia. It’s a game, watch carefully.

    If that’s the case, Musk’s behaviour is certainly interesting. Politics is a very serious game. Do you have any reason to believe that’s what Musk is doing, trying to steal the AfD away from Russia? When has such a feat ever been done? I can’t see how one man could realistically accomplish this, unless he or his hand-picked appointee was planning on becoming the leader of said party, and then using his power to drive out the Russian/Chinese influence. But short of that, I don’t see how this could even be politically possible, especially since Musk is not German and his influence with the German public is probably limited.

    The AfD, like other right-wing populist parties, has some good proposals regarding immigration and economic reforms. But the risk is that, given the level of Russian and Chinese infiltration of the party, all the good stuff is just window dressing intended to mask the new high-level subservience to Moscow and Beijing as Germany permanently pulls away from the trans-Atlantic alliance. I could see parties like the AfD and Romania’s AUR, brimming over with the zeal of a new convert, trying to forge a new anti-American path for their countries if they were to ever win enough votes. As Jean Robin has said of Charles De Gaulle, in allying with the communists in order to gain power, the former president radically altered French patriotism and pointed it in an anti-American direction from which it has never quite recovered. I wonder if we might be seeing another iteration of this with some of these ambitious new right-wing leaders.

    1. Goof questions. When -at least since 1960- has a major political party heavily influenced or even begun by Communists, ever been won over or taken over by our side?

      1. I meant *good* questions.

        Just looking at the Wikipedia page, it appears the party was started by East Germans.

        1. That is, the German Wikipedia page, using Google translate.

        I found this on the Golitsyn publication you asked about: https://www.amazon.com/Yuri-Bezmenov-Anatoliy-Golitsyn-Controversial-ebook/dp/B0DQG1LZFQ

        1. Thank you.

        2. Very good.

    2. On its face, Musk’s positive stance on the AfD overtly threatens Putin’s standing. Why? Because if America’s leadership supports the AfD the German right will naturally begin to prefer Trump to Putin. It is quite easy to win Germany out from under Putin. Even if Trump and Musk are doing this unconsciously, it damages Russia’s hold on the German right. How can Moscow compete? It is actually funny to watch this potentially backfire on the Kremlin.

      1. Haven’t Alex and other people here said that anti-Americanism is pretty well-entrenched in Germany, though maybe to a slightly lesser extent on the right? While the moderate right would want to move closer to America, the left and far right have traditionally desired closer ties to Russia, for different reasons. Is that no longer true? Is Musk’s star power enough to overcome decades of communist indoctrination? And just because Trump and Musk express support for the AfD, is it a given that their sentiments will be reciprocated? Right now Trump is not doing a good job convincing allies that staying with America is in their best interest with his idle expansionist talk about Canada and Greenland. As for the new right, we increasingly see with the MAGA movement how hatred of leftist policies has driven people into the arms of “conservative” Russia rather than away. But maybe simply by the fact of Trump being in charge, as opposed to Biden and the Dems, the noxious fumes of Russian disinformation will dissipate and conservative grassroots’ love for Russia will be replaced once again with love of America and its institutions. And maybe Trump’s anti-open borders stance will inspire European conservatives to draw closer to America. That would be a nice thought. Are there signs of these things happening?

        But even if Western conservatives were to move away from Russia and back into the American fold, a lot of work still need to be done to destroy the disorienting communist narratives, the most important one being the idea that the US needs to ally with Russia to stop China. People can love the West, oppose communism, and still end up doing the wrong thing. We saw that with Nixon’s opening to China. What would be the use of Trump drawing all the European conservatives to him, only to turn around and give away the farm to Russia.

        1. Jer 13:23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.

  16. Everyone here must certainly be aware, if perhaps a bit too, polite to mention, so I will.

    Over the Christmas break, Vivek figures that’s the time to throw his weight around, as co chair of D.O.G.E., insulting Americans by saying we’re to durned down already so we need Indian immigrants to make America great. X/Twits were outraged, so Musk weight in to US with: “Fl_ICK you in the face.” Trump evaded by saying hat he too, likes and has used the H-1B visa himself. No reprimand of Musk. This is a new low. Is it all designed to demoralize US?

    1. One of America’s strengths is that we inflict other powers with successive brain drains. This could be part of our ongoing tech dominance strategy. There are two sides to this. No doubt it is a sticky wicket.

      1. I haven’t heard the term “sticky wicket” in 25 years! Thank you for reminding me of this excellent saying.

    @Jeff Nyquist

    I really want to hear everyone’s (constructive) thoughts on this matter that has kind of started to alarm me.

    I’ve been seeing this for years now, but there’s the “argument” that we need to give Russia whatever it wants (e.g. its way with Ukraine and the rest of the uppity union republics) because “we need them as an ally against China.” It’s not just Twitter trolls and the usual suspects (shills) I’ve read this from either, but people whose takes I’ve otherwise respected and taken seriously. As if the Kremlin is going to go against the economy they’re so intertwined with!

    Now everyone here can see that this is literally a rehash of both the argument with Stalin AND the justification for Nixon going to China and shaking hands with the bloodiest tyrant in human history. And making that mistake a third time would certainly be fatal for any semblance of a free world.

    The above-mentioned talking point isn’t just one that needs to be buried, but (intellectually) publicly executed. So my question to Jeff and everyone else is: How do we go about doing that? My first temptation is to go into the Perestroika Deception and trying to explain why it is literally impossible to turn Beijing against Moscow and vice versa, but again, it’s kind of an esoteric topic to begin with and I’ve gotten nowhere too many times trying to explain esoteric topics to people.

    1. Papa, a good starting point would be Chi Haotian’s secret speech. People know that China is our enemy and will be more open to reading that speech. Once they are bought in that this is genuine, then point out that in his speech, he states that China and Russia made an agreement to divide the United States.

    2. To me, if they can’t take what Golitsyn revealed in his two books, and apply that to what is unfolding before our very eyes, then they are hopeless in any endeavor to get them to see it. Maybe you can do what DAL suggested and have some success. It’s a good idea. But, if they won’t apply facts from Golitsyn’s clear eyed analysis, will they believe the Chi Haotian speech? They’ll likely say that isn’t representative of mainstream Chinese thinking and desires.

      Further, if they can’t just look at what Russia is doing now: constantly almost encroaching un our airspace and waters in Alaska, constantly threatening to nuke us, butchering and raping civilians in Ukraine a sovereign nation they unjustly invaded, constantly smearing America in every speech and public utterance, etc, etc. If they can’t look at these things and realize there is no way we could be allies, and that it would be a ruse against us if they were to pretend to be so, then whoever you’re trying to convince is just not willing to see it.

      Show them this essay by Jeff, and many of his others as well. But it looks like they have shut their eyes against reality.

      Just some thoughts that came to me as I read your question to everyone.

      1. P.S.: show them what Fr. Georgi Edelstein said.

        1. Edelstein said it so well. Yes.

          1. I’m glad you found that and quoted it. It is ammunition.

    3. When you have studied the strategic history of Russia and China since 1950, it becomes clear that both countries are structurally and psychologically predatory. Both countries are managed by psychopaths who despise the United States. Both are parasitic and anti-American. Then there is the glue that keeps them together; that is, the esoteric Marxism-Leninism of both regimes. Not many observers see this last item. The closer you look, the more carefully you look, the more it comes into focus.

  18. Jeff- I was listening to you on the John Moore show and you were saying that Chinese military men were replacing the North Korean military inside of North Korea. Is this something to be concerned about? How does South Korea feel about this?

    1. I don’t know the answer.

  19. As it comes to me the Ukraine conflict is used to bring the european population especially Germany on the side of Russia and away from the USA. And partly that worked out (parties like AFD oder BSW have about 25%). When the major war will start, people in europe in majority will welcome the russians as liberators. Liberators of the Migration (planned by communists), liberators of the threat of an atomic war, liberators of the high crimerates (fired up by the communists and their money) and liberators of the enormous energy prices and Inflation and poor condition of the economy (planned by the communists and the “Covid attack”), liberators of the USA and its empire. In that case they don´t need the atomic world war. They can “invade” Europe and mask it as liberation. Many people here wouldn´t see it as an invasion but rather a salvation. The similarities with Hitler and his argumentations and politics is eye striking in my opinion. It might be even worde because of the link between Transhumanists, Christians and communists which might be able to create a new kind of religion supporting the worldwide communist system. This would help them too avoid a nuclear war or lets say to reach their goals without shooting one nuclear missile.

    1. What idiot thinks Russia is liberating anyone. Can you name such an idiot?

  20. Jeff, it just occurred to me that the very most important thing you could ask your source about Livelsberger might be whether he actually had a UAP clearance, as he claimed. (If your source is able to access that kind of information.)

  21. Hi Jeff.
    How can a country be under such attack, in a daily war for our lives and survival, watching the blatant destruction of everything-farms, factories, food, water, land, homes, health, jobs, children, families, finances, cities, security, ect. It’s all right before our very eyes every day for years, they are slowly trying to kill and destroy us, and we all allow it, actually participate in it and pay for our own demise. We all need to stand up and say NO MORE! No one is going to do it for us, no one is going to save us. It will not stop until we the people stand up, trust God and do what He told us to do with evil, corrupt leaders. It seems America would rather lose everything than have to take a stand…
    God gives us free will, we choose if we sit back and lose it all or stand up and take our country back.
    Thanks Jeff

    Jeff and commenters,
    I have a theory about Donald Trump that I would enjoy knowing your opinion about.
    First off, I am coming from a perspective that Trump is pro USA. My theory is that Trump learned from his first father in-law a lot about Communism and how it’s structured, its intelligence gathering processes, it’s history, their strategic planning, etc. And that he is using some of these tactics that he learned to his advantage. He had to be curious about the Communist systems, and I bet talked to father-in-law about these topics.

    I think his main reason at first was to use what he learned to his advantage in business development, but now as our leader, he must see the Russia-China alliance as a Communist alliance and understand the true danger that alliance presents to us. If i am right, this may provide an insight or explain some of his actions. It would be interesting to ask President Trump about what he learned from his father-in-law.

    1. Interesting thought!

    I just reread your essay and the comments. Can we just say go I ng forward that the Soviet Union killed Russia like Fr. Georgia Edelstein says?

    The one bright spot in your research I found was this: ‘Soviet military’ depends on “psychologically seasoned courageous soldiers led by steadfast, resolute officers.

    “Thus, the importance of morale and other psychological factors in nuclear missile warfare is exceptionally great…”

    Well, neither ‘the Soviet Union’ aka Russian Federation nor China has the morale described by your sources. This gives me some comfort.

    1. Yes. Moscow has failed militarily with respect to the ideal army they once aimed at.

  25. Interview with “Luis (Lue) Elizondo, Author of ‘Imminent: Inside the Pentagon’s Hunt for UFOs’ and Former Head of the Pentagon program responsible for the investigation of UFOs/UAPs.”

    With regard to the mystery drones:

    “We don’t like to admit to a problem for which there’s no solution….

    “It’s insulting to the American public that anybody in government would put out a press release saying that all of these are legally operated aircraft. If that were the case, they certainly wouldn’t be shutting down military bases because of it, because these drones— or whatever they are, these vehicles— are illegally encroaching into restricted US airspace….

    “This next year, 2025, is going to be really interesting. I suspect that there are going to be some major whistleblowers coming forward….”

    The interviewer replies that perhaps the whistleblowers are understandably waiting to come forward until Biden is no longer president:

    https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/rose-unplugged-mystery-drones-whose-are-they-audio/

    1. Elizondo also mentioned that the mystery drones have been chasing (and harassing, it sounds like), various US Coast Guard aircraft or watercraft. Obviously, this doesn’t sound like something US military-operated drones would do.

      1. Also, a quote from upthread, from David Kung:

        “I have two testimonies that I feel most concise to share.

        “The first one is from one of my friends working as a contractor with top secret clearance in Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) within the Pentagon. Before being a contractor, he has years of experience in the USAF in various parts of the world, and his primary expertise is in counterintelligence. He shared top concerns on President Trump whom he said to have an extensive pro-Russia past. He revealed to me that his top bosses in DoD purposely prevented Trump from obtaining critical top secret intel and other secrets because they fear that Trump will leak to the adversaries….”

        So the fact that Trump believes that the drones are not a threat is not a good indicator of anything, really. He may not be privy to any real intelligence with regard to the drones.

      2. It also does not sound like something aliens would do. Or does it?

          If aliens, what planet do they come from? I don’t believe live evolved here or any other planet. So it’s not aliens. Aliens could certainly do surveillance without flashing lights surely. Whatever it is makes very little effort to remain covert. They presumably have warp technology or wormhole technology but can’t do surveillance invisibly? They want to seen.

          1. Yes. It makes no sense.

      3. It sounds like something illegal aliens— from China— might do.

        If these UAPs are indeed coming up out of the water from PLANSF submarines, or even Russian submarines, it would certainly explain why no one seems to know where they’re coming from.

        If they’re using Tesla’s “foo fighter” technology, it would explain why they cannot be shot down. I remember reading somewhere a quote from Tesla saying that the craft he was creating would be impervious to all sorts of phenomena— weather, etc. It might take a directed EMP technology or some other unwieldy weapon to bring them down, that might also disrupt other aircraft (could be the true explanation for the no-fly zones).

        Anyway, a lot of speculating. Hopefully some of these whistleblowers will come forward on January 20th— preferably without a fireworks display.

    2. Trump seems to be leaning toward disclosure.

      1. Did he say something to this effect?

        1. It’s all the pro-disclosure people he is bringing in with him.

        I think the disclosure is going to be part of the coming deception coming upon the world to deceive people into accepting the idea that aliens are here to help us, when in reality they are a demonic vanguard to Lucifer’s final attempt to direct mankind’s worship away from their Creator and redirect it toward himself, as he sets himself up to be our “savior”.

  26. Good morning Jeff.
    It all started with who and what we did not stand up for, we did not uphold justice, righteousness, integrity, accountability ect, the basic things you would desire in someone who is going to lead you.
    No doubt God has people in positions and platforms for such a time as this, but because of their apathy and silence, they have innocent blood on their hands, as this wickedness burns the world with fire.
    Their pride and arrogance had deceived them into thinking they don’t have that position for any other reason but to lay down their life for our country, expose the darkness, rescue those who are going to be slaughtered, release the captives, save the children, warn us, they are responsible to save lives, not be complicit in their distractions, while they sit idly by in fear of losing their jobs or lives. “So what if you gain the whole world but you lose your soul?”
    Is every single person in Government got fired today and a 8 year old, that feared God took over we would be better off.
    Thanks Jeff

    1. Do you know any eight-year-old volunteers?

  27. I missed this story a few weeks ago:

    “The Pentagon is arming two military installations in New Jersey with counter-drone technology, giving them extra tools to better defend their airspace from any unauthorized drone incursions. One of the systems the Pentagon mentioned by name is the Dronebuster.

    “The US military confirmed drone sightings at Picatinny Arsenal and Naval Weapons Station Earle this month, as well as multiple sightings at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, with drones at one point forcing the base to close its airspace….”

    https://www.businessinsider.com/pentagon-counter-drone-systems-sent-new-jersey-bases-2024-12

    1. This sounds like the hostile drone threat is real.

      1. Yes. Now the question is, are these actually drones or manned UAPs; which are hostile, which belong to us, and which are misidentifications or drones belonging to hobbyists’; who do the hostile ones belong to (Russia, China, foreign terrorists, domestic terrorists, a combination?); where are they coming from (container ships, submarines, Chinese-owned farmland, all of the above?) and how do we take them down? And are they the same as the ones over military bases in the UK and Germany. AND why won’t our government tell us the truth? So many unanswered questions. (I have some theories on a few of these, as I’m sure we all do.)

        1. I am told by a source I trust that these aircraft, drones, UAPs are all ours. The Las Vegas bomber alleged that some are Chinese. I will be looking into this further.

      2. Also, is the drone/UAP threat still ongoing? (It sounds like it is, despite the news blackout.) Has it diminished at all, plateaued, or escalated? And, as misguided as he may have been, did Livelsberger have a UAP/USAP clearance— and was he telling the truth?

    1. I saw this. So funny. She even did it in spite of the fact that she was on camera! 🤣

      1. I watched this closely a couple of times. She did look pretty miffed.

      2. Someone should make an animated gif out of it. Classic.

    2. Such people we’ve had around the presidency.

    1. These EU bureaucrats have Soviet instincts. But there is no Stalin as yet to bring them to lethal focus. They are, perhaps, the “blind kittens” Stalin said his bureaucrats were. To survive someone must see for them — or drown them.

    1. Here is the arrogance of leftist woke government. They lecture to us and moralize, and squeeze taxes out of us — but they do not want to work for a living. Seeing to their responsibility is not what they do. It was once said of the Nazi bureaucrats, and also the Soviet bureaucrats, that they were power hungry and work averse. I lived in LA from 1966-1978. My family home was across the street from dry grassland. We had three big fires threaten our house. The last was October 1975 when I was 17 years old. I was up on the roof all night with a garden hose keeping burning embers from igniting the roof. The fire departments were very efficient back then. The fires were dangerous and ferocious. In terms of fire hazard, there can be no difference between now and then except the quality of those managing LA County and city firefighting needs. They should be prosecuted for negligence. If people are dead it should be a question of homicidal negligence.

  31. Maybe this is old news, but I had not yet seen confirmation that Livelsberger was in fact working with drones. According to his friends, he was:

    “Decorated Army Special Forces Master Sgt. Matthew Livelsberger had an 8-month-old daughter at home and a new assignment involving drones that friends said excited him.”

    https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/cybertruck-explosion-las-vegas-matthew-livelsberger-motive/

    1. Drones are part of warfare these days.

  32. This is welcome news. America’s B61 nuclear gravity bomb has been fully modernized.

    “An estimated 500 of the nuclear bombs are deployed with the Air Force for use in Asia or from NATO bases in Europe.”

      Last used nukes in most scenarios. Should have updated the ones on ICBMs first.

    2. But are the bombers kept on alert where the pilots can get airborne within minutes?
