“The failure of discipline in empirical societies can be traced to warfare between the productive and the consumptive faculties. The spoiled child is simply one who has been allowed to believe that his consumptive faculty can prescribe the order of society.”
Richard M. Weaver
“The word betrayed has been defined as, ‘having been delivered to an enemy by treachery.’ That definition aptly fits the sordid betrayal of Nicaragua. Our nation was truly delivered into the hands of the Marxist enemy by President Jimmy Carter and his administration. In this treachery, his most active accomplices were Venezuela, Panama, Costa Rica, and Cuba.”
Anastasio Somoza[i]
America has had many problems with liberal presidents destroying American allies abroad. Not only did Nicaragua go communist when Jimmy Carter was president, Iran also fell under the control of U.S. enemies (which ultimately led to Carter’s election defeat in 1980). But now we have a dangerous Republican president who is driving our allies into the enemy’s arms while his secretary of war says Joe Biden drove Russia into China’s arms. But Russia has been in the arms of China all along.
Is Donald Trump crazy? Is he normal? Slovakia’s prime minister, Robert Fico, reportedly told EU leaders the week before last that he was shocked by President Trump’s state of mind.[ii] Robert Fico, who has supported Trump in the past, privately expressed concern about Trump’s “psychological state,” which he described as “dangerous.” These remarks, which were attributed to Fico, were reported by POLITICO and denied by Fico as follows,
“I must emphatically reject the lies of the POLITICO about how I assessed my meeting with U.S. President D. Trump at an informal summit in Brussels. No one heard anything, no one said anything, there are no witnesses, but nothing prevented the POLITICO portal from coming up with lies.”[iii]
Fico added that he agrees with many strategies of the U.S. president. Chiming in, the White House also attacked the POLITICO story as “fake news.” But POLITICO has not backed down, pointing to diplomatic sources in Europe that described Fico as “traumatized” after his meeting with Trump. Fico allegedly said, in private, that Trump is “out of his mind.” And why would Fico say anything else? Trump has said some very crazy things in recent months. Not only has Trump publicly blamed Ukraine for the Russian invasion, he also has referred to Canada as “our beautiful fifty-first state.” He has said he wants Greenland, too. European leaders took this with a grain of salt, as a kind of joke; that is, until Trump threatened new tariffs against eight European nations he said were interfering with his plan to take control of Greenland. He has no need to invade, of course. He will strangle the trade of any nation that looks askance at his demands.
Naturally, Trump has many camp followers of questionable judgment who say – and often say – that Trump is right about Greenland and Canada. Indeed, these camp followers say he is right about everything. If Trump wanted the North Pole, Santa, the reindeer, and all the elves, MAGA pundits would devise arguments for stripping Santa of all he owns. Obviously, we need the reindeer for strategic defense! And Santa’s red suit would look good on Donald Trump. Perhaps he could then make Christmas great again.
Trump is so wise that his camp followers say he will get whatever he wants. But his wants are constantly changing. And then, does anyone really think Greenland is worth the $700 billion asking price? For that frozen wasteland? The many lackeys who write and talk about this deal as if it were in America’s interest discredit themselves by showing such poor common sense. The United States is going broke. We cannot afford $700 billion for a giant glacier with a few rock outcroppings. Meanwhile, the dollar is losing its ascendancy due to Trump’s tariff threats together with our rising indebtedness. It is galling, in fact, that so many nitwits say, “Trump is right. We need Greenland.” Or they say, “Trump is right, we should make Canada the fifty-first state.” Trump will tell you, and gladly, that Denmark is a little country incapable of defending itself. It does not count. So why doesn’t Trump take over all the little countries?
Denmark was perhaps the most pro-U.S. country in NATO, always arguing in favor of America’s positions. But Trump wants to be friends with Russia and China, instead. Yes. The Danes and Germans are our enemies, or didn’t you know? So we will swap Germany for Russia (which a Trump advisor said was the plan, and he told me I had better get behind it). We will change sides in the New Cold War and snuggle with Putin even as we express contempt for V. Zelenskyy. We will slap all our friends and kiss all our enemies on the cheek. This could not be carried out in full last year, but it is nonetheless part of the intended storyline which still might unfold in 2026.
Trump is not only a bully. He is a stupid bully. At the same time, the Russians have mocked Trump by calling him TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out). And some people have noticed. In fact, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has said that Europe has learned the secret of Trump’s method. He loves to threaten, but he is very poor on following through. Stand up to him and he will back down. The Chinese and Russians have learned this, too, and so has Ukrainian President V. Zelenskyy. Trump loves threatening, blustering, bragging. Did he finish building his “big beautiful” border wall? Will he follow through on his promised strike against Iran? A giant military buildup in the Caribbean, with huffing and puffing, and all that happened was one guy and his wife were arrested, abducted, and taken to New York. The three little communist piggies down in the Caribbean are beginning to realize that the Big Bad Wolf was never going to blow their houses down.
A Legacy of Bungling
It is a sweeping generalization, but: Americans are not so clever. Nothing illustrates this better than the history of CIA as told by Tim Weiner in Legacy of Ashes. It is a story of unbelievable bungling, stupidity, incompetence, and treachery. From Trump’s behavior you would think he was working for the CIA (an idea we will look at later). The CIA was a failure almost from the beginning, and any secret organization created to replace the CIA, to operate in secret behind it, would also be bound to fail. The reason is easy to explain. Any intelligence agency built by Americans would share the same American faults that made the CIA into “the gang that could not shoot straight.”
Of the CIA directors, Roscoe Hillenkoetter failed to warn of North Korea’s invasion of South Korea in 1950. He was replaced by General Walter Bedell Smith, who was suspected of being a Russian double agent, and who was replaced by his deputy, Allen Dulles, an “inveterate womanizer”[iv] who lost the trust of President Kennedy (another womanizer) after the Bay of Pigs fiasco. It was thought by at least one top counterintelligence official that Dulles was an easy blackmail target of the KGB. James Angleton, the chief of the CIA’s counterintelligence staff from 1954-74, once explained the vulnerability of Dulles during an interview with Joseph Trento in 1988:
“You know how I got to be in charge of counterintelligence? I agreed not to polygraph or require detailed background checks on Allen Dulles and 60 of his closest friends…. They were afraid that their own business dealings with Hitler’s pals would come out. They were too arrogant to believe that the Russians would discover it all.”[v]
This confession of Angleton’s was made as he was dying of cancer in 1988. “You know,” he said to Trento, “the CIA got tens of thousands of brave people killed…. We played with lives as if we owned them. We gave false hope. We – I – so misjudged what happened.”
Angleton told Trento:
“Fundamentally, the founding fathers of U.S. intelligence were liars. The better you lied and the more you betrayed, the more likely you would be promoted. These people attracted and promoted each other. Outside of their duplicity, the only thing they had in common was a desire for absolute power. I did things that, in looking back at my life, I regret. But I was part of it and loved being in it…. Allen Dulles, Richard Helms, Carmel Offie, and Frank Wisner were the grand masters. If you were in a room with them you were in a room full of people that you had to believe would deservedly end up in hell…. I guess I will soon see them there.”[vi]
America’s spymasters were power-hungry and blundering. Russia’s spymasters were cunning and largely successful. This is yet to be understood. The leaders of the Soviet Union and communist China were more deeply evil on account of their metaphysical commitments. The likes of Allen Dulles and Richard Helms were shallow and had no such commitments. They worked to aggrandize their tiny egos. It is part of the reason they were so ineffective and so easily countered by the Russian side. It is why the CIA was always the lesser of two evils.
Jacob Burckhardt, the Swiss cultural historian, said, “Power is evil.” Why did he say this? Because the good man in high office has no freedom of action or power insofar as he sees only a burdensome and dangerous responsibility. The bad man in high office, to the contrary, sees only the self-aggrandizement that power enables. Lord Acton said that “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power tends to corrupt absolutely.” That is why America was politically formed as a system of checks and balances. And now, as our system of checks and balances is breaking down, the very worst aspects of human nature are coming to the fore. Nearing death, Angleton told Trento,
“I am afraid that whatever sins I have committed in my life, have now come home to roost…. I am fundamentally a failure. I failed to protect the CIA, because there was no real desire to secure the place from the Soviets. I never understood the great advantage the Russians had over us…. As Americans we just hold no real value in secrecy. God, it was such a simple explanation.”[vii]
America has not been very good at keeping secrets from the Russians and Chinese. The same awful people, the same liars, the same cheaters, have thrived in our intelligence services and our government. The highest leadership, found in the U.S. Senate and White House for decades, is not generally something to be proud of. In a book first published in 1970, George E. Reedy wrote, “The inner life of the White House is essentially the life of a barnyard…. Below the President is a mass of intrigue, posturing, strutting, cringing and pious ‘commitment’ to irrelevant windbaggery.”[viii]
Is There a CIA behind the CIA?
It is with these points in mind that we must deal with claims that a shadow CIA exists, or a shadow government, or a “deep state,” or an MJ-12. The first observation to be made is that a secret counterintelligence or government level might be kept from the American people, but it could not be kept from the KGB. Why? Because American intelligence has never been able to keep their pants zipped. They compromise themselves at every opportunity.
There has never been, and will never be, an omnicompetent pro-American conspiracy. What Americans excel at is organized crime, which has no higher vision. On the other side, the KGB/FSB/SVR always had a more strategic view of things (as well as a coherent, though evil, philosophy). The problem of anarchy, which has been the legacy of most countries in the Western Hemisphere, has not been fully acknowledged or understood. This comes into view more clearly when we look at Prohibition during the 1920s and the War on Drugs after World War II. It is the police, and their political bosses, who have been the great organizers and stewards of organized crime in America. In this respect, the CIA also fell into a dark hole.
Setting aside the problem of communist bloc drug trafficking, which readily entangled the CIA and other Western services, there is the problem of child trafficking as seen in the infamous case of Jeffrey Epstein. The casual observer cannot help wondering if Epstein’s operation was linked in any way with the Franklin (child prostitution) coverup in Nebraska. In all probability, on reviewing the testimony of several witnesses, it seems these networks follow common practices and are part of a general system of subversion. This system is almost certainly much bigger in scope than anyone yet realizes. Consider, also, the testimony of Anneke Lucas in a book titled Quest for Love: Memoir of a Child Sex Slave. The network which owned her allegedly included leading politicians of European countries. In the introduction to her book, Lucas wrote, “People’s ability to absorb the dark facts of my childhood, which give a glimpse into how the elite secretly functions, has steadily increased. The world’s greatest curse is power abuse….”
And who is the ultimate abuser?
As the Epstein files are opened, we see a connection to Putin (which we will present in more detail). We now know that Russian girls were imported into the United States by Epstein. There were meetings between Epstein and Putin. And what do you suppose they talked about?
From this and other analyses we can see that any secret level of American counterintelligence, at work behind events, must have been neutralized long ago. To carry out a honeytrap of this size, involving U.S. presidents and businessmen, while U.S. counterintelligence did nothing, is proof that the United States has no meaningful defense against sophisticated espionage. This is something every American should know.
Is it any wonder, then, that Edward Snowden stole just about everything of importance there was to steal from our intelligence agencies? Is it any wonder he defected to Russia with his ill-gotten gains? Is it any wonder that twelve Russian sleeper agents (illegals) were sent back to Russia rather than arrested and jailed? To add insult to injury, most Americans do not have enough common sense to see that Snowden was a traitor to his country. Some people even think he was a hero. How could all of this have unfolded without major figures, in the United States, being on the hook to Russia? (For a detailed description of the Snowden affair, readers are encouraged to study Edward Jay Epstein’s account of Snowden’s treason.) [ix]
Despite mountains of testimony, and the dire strategic situation that now hangs over us, the average American assumes that U.S. intelligence services are the best. Americans, after all, think they won the Cold War. But the Cold War did not end. The Russians kept working against us, and they were using pedophile rings. Some will say this analysis is crazy because America is still prosperous, still strong. If America is still prosperous today, most have not understood the consequences of American indebtedness. They have not considered the collapse of the work ethic. They have not reckoned on our moral decline, our intellectual emptiness, or the nation’s physical slide into obesity and disease. Few have considered the contribution made to our decadence by the Russian and Chinese intelligence services. In reality, the Chinese communists have hollowed out our economy and are pumping us with fentanyl. Russian agents and their fellow travelers poisoned our culture through “active measures.” And the testimony on this lies unread in countless books by KGB and GRU defectors. Friedrich Nietzsche said we should never judge a thing by what it appears to be. We should judge it by what it is becoming. America is becoming a bankrupt, immoral, fat, addicted and diseased mass of entitled cretins. War and economic hardship might reverse these lamentable trends. On the other hand, we might be looking at the end of our society.
Consider the accomplishments of Joe Biden and Donald Trump, as our last two presidents. What they have wrought is a “reign of error.” If we were circling the drain under Biden, we are now going down the drain under Trump. It is a wonder that two diametrically opposed villains can bring two entirely different tracks of national destruction together in one two-party political cocktail. Their wickedness and decrepitude deliver incompetence and scandal, strategic reversals and self-inflicted defeats – interspersed with pratfalls and potty accidents.
The partisans of both camps continually undermine common sense and national survival, each dialectically feeding off the other. The right seemed somewhat sane and reasonable at first. But now, with the success of Russia’s active measures, Donald Trump carries out his stratagems with a full orchestra and chorus of toadeaters. The resulting music has been badly scored. The libretto has neither rhyme nor reason. How did this happen? We should not, in attempting to understand Trump’s political success, underestimate the suggestibility of an industrial nation traumatized by de-industrialization, alienated by an atomizing and socially disintegrative feminism, frustrated by a managerial class with anti-American propensities, and perplexed by a massive invasion of foreigners. Americans have been guilted into surrendering their heroes along with their heritage. Now that people see what is at stake, and what has been lost, they are desperate to recover their country from a proto-totalitarian machine. But either way they turn, they are caught in a trap, their leaders are compromised, their country is being stripped of its power.
In this context, nothing could have been more to the liking of Beijing and Moscow than the rise of the QAnon hoax. More than a decade ago, an anonymous person known as “Q” infected cyberspace with laconic messages about a cabal of powerful, Satanic, cannibalistic, child molesters. (Sound familiar?) And Donald Trump was billed by “Q” as the man on the white horse who would “drain the swamp.” But now we discover that Trump was up to his neck in Jeffrey Epstein’s girls; and now we are shown that Epstein’s sex empire was a “KGB honeytrap” for harvesting kompromat” on celebrity Western businessmen and politicians, according to the Daily Mail.[x]
The QAnon cult was right in believing there was a cabal of child traffickers. On the other hand, they were duped into choosing the wrong leaders, and in misidentifying their enemy. These dear people marched forward with mottos, like, “Where We Go One, We Go All.” And they fell into the trap of 6 January 2021. Of course, they were told to “Trust the Plan,” advancing against the “Deep State” to “Save the Children” by “Following the Breadcrumbs” and swallowing the “Red Pill.” That a foreign enemy was leading them by the nose, they could not understand. Here we have the “triumph of provocation,” as a famous Polish anticommunist once called it.
Think for a minute. In the last three elections we had no real choice. Hillary Clinton’s connections to the communist left have been well-documented elsewhere. Joseph Biden was a creature of a communist front organization, the Council for a Livable World, and he was helped into the U.S. Senate by a KGB agent named Armand Hammer. Kamala Harris was cut from the same cloth. Such were the Democratic Candidates. In all three elections there was one Republican running. And now that we know who Trump is, seeing how close he was to Jeffrey Epstein, the facts bring reality into sharper focus.
- The Epstein files released so far, with half of them held back, include 1,056 documents naming Russian President Vladimir Putin and 9,629 referring to Moscow.
- Epstein met personally with Vladimir Putin after his 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution.
- We also learn that U.S. security services had been monitoring Epstein’s Russian connections for years. (But did nothing while hundreds of children were being harmed.)
- Intelligence sources believe Epstein “was inducted into the world of espionage via business deals with Robert Maxwell, the disgraced media magnate who – like Epstein – died in murky circumstances….”[xi]
According to the Daily Mail, “Security sources say Robert Maxwell was a Russian asset from the 1970s, when he worked to extradite Soviet Jews to Israel, with the involvement of Israel intelligence service Mossad.”[xii] It is unusual when the mainstream media finally acknowledges what, for some of us, has been obvious for a long time. Robert Maxwell was the father of Epstein’s business partner, Ghislaine Maxwell. The whole underage girl thing was Moscow’s operation. According to the Daily Mail,
“U.S. security officials also believe Epstein had long-standing ties with Russian organized crime, who could have been blackmailing him. That could explain the ease with which Epstein appeared to be able to fly in ‘girls’ from Russia.”
Was our police, our intelligence, our NSA, sleeping through all this? As the Daily Mail explains, “Epstein appears to have had another meeting scheduled with Putin in 2014.” From Putin to Epstein, from Epstein to Trump. Is that how it went? And now we are forced to reconsider the claims of Craig Unger, author of American Kompromat: How the KGB Cultivated Donald Trump.” Unger is now vindicated by his claim that Epstein relied on Russian pimps to supply him with girls.
Is Donald Trump going to fall? Yes. He is a bowling pin. And what about the MAGA movement? Some will defend Trump to the bitter end. But that will avail us nothing, since the Jeffrey Epstein roadshow brings a flood of dirt that will consume us if we do not put on our big boy pants.
A Schizophrenic Witness
A schizophrenic taxi driver, in 1991, alleged that he had been recruited to a super-secret counterintelligence group in 1974. I listened patiently to him. He knew all about the Soviet long-range strategy. I was intrigued even as I reached for The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. And yes, he exhibited all the symptoms listed for a paranoid schizophrenic.
The taxicab driver said he had been recruited to this supersecret counterintelligence agency after he singlehandedly stopped a bank robbery. He was given a job interview at the office of “Mr. Williams,” who was none other than George Herbert Walker Bush. This supersecret organization was established in the early 1970s when the CIA was found to be full of KGB moles. A counterstrategy had to be implemented, with a new organization to oppose the KGB. Membership in this supersecret organization required an oath and an agreement. And it was not a very nice agreement.
If a recruited agent fell under suspicion he would be forced to take a cocktail of chemicals that would render him schizophrenic and erase large chunks of his memory, destroying forever his credibility. This was the taxi driver’s explanation for his disability and his vocation. Naturally, being a fervent patriot, he signed on the dotted line. But, in time, he fell under suspicion because of a compromised safe to which he had a key. So he had to drink the mind-wipe cocktail.
A decade after encountering the taxicab driver, after more than two years writing and publicly warning that the Cold War had not ended, I was dining with hundreds of others at the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum at Texas A&M University, conversing with a Marine Corps general seated to my right. I then felt a hand pressed firmly on my shoulder. I saw that everyone at the table had stopped eating and rose to their feet. I stood up, turned around, and there was George H.W. Bush standing right there, reaching out to shake my hand. My mind immediately thought back to that crazy taxicab driver and his claim that George H.W. Bush had been the founding chief of America’s most secretive intelligence organization.
The taxicab driver had told me, “They are not going to help those who are genuinely patriotic. That might compromise the final sting operation against Moscow and Beijing. But they know who has been faithful to the country and who has not. And there will be a day of reckoning for the traitors.”
Of course, one must be careful before heeding the voice of someone who is off his meds. The story was implausible. The person telling this story was crazy, by his own admission. And even in that auditorium, when George H.W. Bush put his hand on my shoulder, I realized that the answer was simple. I was seated closest to the side entrance, with my back to the door. Of course the former president, entering by that way, would have walked up behind me first. It was only a coincidence.
Yet there was method in the madness. This poor man had insisted, 34 years ago, that our most patriotic leaders had no choice but to create a supersecret organization to counter the Soviet long-range strategy. He said it was the only way to preserve our freedom. They realized, that to fight communism in the open, meant a reversion to the methods of Joseph McCarthy. Such an approach, they thought, would lead directly to an authoritarian dictatorship. This was not acceptable, so, the Soviet Union would be encouraged to play out its long-range deception strategy. By subtly going along, said the taxicab driver, we would trap them in their own net. With uncanny accuracy, the taxicab driver outlined what actually would happen: (1) NATO would not fold as Moscow expected; (2) we would retain our nuclear weapons; (3) key Soviet agents within the U.S. Government would lure Moscow into a strategic trap (e.g., a Soviet civil war between Russia and Ukraine).
It is an odd fact, in this context, that President Bill Clinton disappointed Boris Yeltsin when Yeltsin demanded that the American president hand Europe over to Russia. Did the Kremlin then realize they had been duped? Or were they holding their pedophile rings in reserve?
Imagine a conversation with a retired CIA officer in 2015. A weird conversation in retrospect. This CIA officer said that Trump would be elected president in 2016, 2024 and 2028, but not in 2020. I do not say this prediction was given to me. It was given to someone else. And, if it happened, how do we explain it? Once again, I think back to that schizophrenic taxicab driver. What is the truth? How much of this can be explained as a one-off thing? – like prophetic references to a future Trump presidency in the “Bart to the Future” episode of The Simpsons, aired in the year 2000?[xiii] How strange it is to speculate that the future, somehow, is with us at every moment – as if the future casts a backward shadow. People long dead have spoken about our century, about our wars and disasters, though we hardly remember them today.[xiv]
There are conspiracies in history and Jeffrey Epstein was part of one. Insofar as this is history, it is not a theory. When acknowledging the existence of real conspiracies we must not fall into the errors championed by conspiracy theorists. These people have a peculiar faith in man’s ability to control history. And this faith is an error. Men do not control history. Some men control some aspects, some events. But there is no general system of control that lasts for long. Life is the life of the individual. In terms of larger events, there the role of culture and the life of the mind. While methods for manipulating masses of people have been improved upon, the prospective manipulators tend to be shallow. They tend to be destroyers and not creators. This is what we see in Jeffrey Epstein and his bosses in Moscow.
Through all the crazy diplomatic back-and-forth, and all the scandals, we might imagine that NATO is finished. And yet, looking over Epstein files, I begin to suspect that Donald Trump is the one who is finished.

[xiii] Bizarre as it might seem, The Simpsons famously predicted a Donald Trump presidency in 2000, with an episode titled “Bart to the Future,” (Season 11, episode 17) where Lisa Simpson inherits a budget crisis from Trump. This episode also featured Lisa wearing a purple outfit and pearl necklace eerily similar to the outfit worn by Kamala Harris at her 2001 inauguration as vice president.
[xiv] During the 1970s and 80s one writer successfully predicted many political events with an uncanny precision. That writer was Ruth Montgomery, June 11, 1912 – June 10, 2001. Starting as a political journalist oriented to cold facts, Montgomery became the first female reporter in the Washington bureau of the New York Daily News. She was one of only 12 journalists invited to the funeral of President Franklin Roosevelt. She covered such events as the Berlin Airlift. She eventually had psychic experiences after the death of a friend. Her predictions included, for example, the assassination of Sadat and the advent of Gorbachev – and more. She also warned of an intellectual civil war in America, with rising division and corruption, economic and institutional collapse. She said that America would be spiritually depleted and broken down by activists. She described communism and related movements involved in breaking down belief in God. A Godless order was being prepared for America and the world. It would be a force using crisis for creating an unshakable power that would suppress freedom and Christianity. Montgomery saw an eventually revival of Christianity, when genuine repentance would occur, community by community. Her predictions are, perhaps, the most interesting for their accuracy in predicting unlikely specific events during the 70s and 80s. As might be expected, her twenty-first century predictions follow the usual New Age pattern (i.e., California breaking up and parts sinking into the sea, earth changes, new mountain ranges rising, and the arrival of interdimensional beings sent by God, etc., etc.).

Great article as always Jeff. Thank you for all that you do.
I have a question, Jeff: if Trump is a Russian asset, ensnared by their honeypot operations, what do you think happened to the evidence and why has it not been released? We assume that the DOJ probably got tons of evidence when they initially arrested Epstein in 2019. They raided his island then as well. To me, that is probably when they got the purest evidence.
If so, what happened to it? Wouldn’t Bill Barr have had to have been in on it? Why wouldn’t the Biden admin use this information? I am curious about this part.
Your other part about American betrayal of these other nations weighs on me a lot as well, especially when I read McCarthy’s book The Fight For America. The amount of betrayal that we are implicated in as Americans is simply overwhelming: sabotaging the Chinese nationalists and surrendering that country to the Communists, Korea, Vietnam, Poland, etc…
We can claim that we didn’t know and in many cases that is correct. The Communists work by psychological blinding; they steadily acquire all mechanisms of perception feedback until our reality itself is compromised. They actively prevent information about our betrayal and about Communist actions from reaching our own eyes and ears. Nowhere is this more apparent than McCarthy’s book, where he talks about an operation where a traitor in the Us government was apparently ordering the US military to send ammunition intended for the Chinese nationalists out to sea and literally dumping it into the ocean.
When McCarthy raised this incredible act of treason, the US information centers, the key nodes of perception feedback, they simply lied.
And so it might perhaps be true that we did not know this or that particular piece of information. But the larger point still stands: if we did not defend these nations and their peoples when they were in their moment of need, why should anyone defend us in ours?
If we did not defend other free folk who were at the precipice of totalitarianism, and even aided their oppressors in many cases, and they consecutively fell like dominos to global totalitarianism, who will even be left to defend us?
Good question. As a nation we have always been ill-suited to the role of superpower. We are easy to infiltrate.
Perhaps Trump is doing favors for two separate groups of people– the Russians, and whomever in the US possesses the same kind of damaging evidence against Trump that Russia is believed to have. That would help explain Trump’s seemingly contradictory behavior. On the one hand, he has done so many things to seemingly try to protect the US, such as sealing the border, kicking out criminal offenders, founding the US Space Force, proposing the Golden Dome, etc. But on the other hand, he has alienated us from all our closest allies and sided with Russia over Europe.
Another possibility is that Russia alone is controlling him, and they’re somehow strategically shielding him from having the very worst evidence released by the DOJ, until an opportune time when they need maximum leverage. And all of these domestic policies the Russians are allowing may be intended to give conservatives a false sense of security.
A third possibility is that Trump is taking as many “America first” actions as he can (when possible) out of the guilt he feels for cooperating with Russian interests. He goes along with what they want when required, and tries to make up for it when able by putting forward policies that genuinely benefit the US. Apparently he’s concerned that he’s headed for hell, so this might be his version of “penance.”
I go back and forth between all three of these theories continually. Just when I land on one, something new happens that makes me question everything. I guess elements of all three could be true.
It’s hard to understand.

ANSWER:
Very good point and most likely the more correct than anything – they don’t need their assets exposed, but they desire the scandal and demoralization angle to progress as much as possible, without the actual main culprits being substantially harmed – with the exception of those the KGB is willing to sacrifice or be swallowed up so to say – and they know that no true justice exists any longer in the US and that if that person or persons are well connected and with money, they will not be affected – or they will be simply terminated as Epstein was.
There is a saying for those who are evil – if you play with the devil, you will be burned….(or burn at the end in Hell if not repentant etc.). The indication who in fact these actors are is that because they don’t fear the consequences of their evil actions they are very confident that nothing will happen to them and that they will remain protected from true justice – but when there is KGB operation involvement like this hanging over them, they will not be harmed at all – as the article points out in the case of the Venezuela alleged “freedom” military expedition – when you judge the results, the KGB operation is the only victor in this what Trump did in Venezuela – and they always like to present the “spectacular success” of the operation, but never the results after all…which are that Venezuela is still a communist run country and that the woman in command is Maduro’s deputy – and Trump in fact stated that she does a wonderful job now….Moscow couldn’t be happier about such successful assets, that is for sure !
One always hopes that one’s worst nightmare is merely a paranoid fantasy. In this case, everything is unfolding towards the war I saw coming 38 years ago. The defectors described the plan. We see the final elements coming together. Trump has committed acts of was against Venezuela, Cuba, Iran and now China has constructed a story that we tried to overthrow their government. By international law they now can claim they are acting against us in self-defense. Russia has been making this argument openly since 2014. Russia began this narrative and it is now being “filled out” by the entire communist bloc. They are preparing the justifications that attend their mobilizations.
The more it looks that the alleged Krasnov is being ordered to do such things so that his role to create for Moscow the fabricated “justification” for attacking the US and EU etc. will be consummated and will create their excuse, as you have said, the communist “self-defense” – but there is no excuse on their part because America has not attacked Venezuela, only removed an illegitimate communist tyrant, and there is no legitimacy in any communist “government” at all, because what is based on tyranny and atheistic foundation, as communism is, has no legitimate claim to secular authority – period.
But the alleged Krasnov nor anybody from the communist penetrated media will make this conclusion as that would destroy that Moscow’s narrative (or rather the future excuse) in the eyes of the world…but you are probably right, they don’t need to wait much longer and probably will not wait too long to begin. This is just an opinion, nothing more.
When we captured Maduro we struck a number of their military positions.
It may be that they may have that excuse as a war attack, but overall Trump has done nothing to the communists in the sense that they (Moscow) still controls the country.
They can claim all they want about their installations, overall the power in the country doesn’t belong to them, they are still illegitimate government and Trump is keeping them that way, he’s done nothing to free the people of Venezuela from that communist tyranny (neither the people of Iran for that matter). The alleged Krasnov is the asset they don’t need to worry about.
Do you have any more information on this? Or are you just speaking of the missile defense batteries?
We hit buildings and missile defense batteries. Yes. Those were acts of war. We also blew up buildings and tracking radars, power supply.
If I remember correctly, the CCP already declared war against the U.S. in 1959 and have never rescinded that declaration. If true, do they need a self-defense excuse to attack us now?
Yes. They need to make everything they do seem justifiable. This is especially true with nuclear war.
I don’t know, I am personally not convinced he has weakened NATO. One could argue that he has strengthened NATO by forcing them to spend more. Perhaps I am a “Trump shill”.
He has started the missile defense shield and signed a contract for cheap hypersonics. Virtually every activity he’s done is about making the US stronger if war comes. It almost seems as if he knows he’s racing against time.
Increasing domestic energy production, forcing the defense companies to produce faster, telling them they can’t pour money into stock buybacks (which used to be standard policy!!), getting rare earth’s, strangling Russia’s energy money, all of these seem like things that Russia would not like.
I just am not sure why the Democrats wouldn’t have released the info. It was a Democrat Audrey Strauss in NY who ran the Epstein prosecution. One would assume she saw all of the footage.
Even more incredible, it was a Democrat Barry Krischer who did the biggest coverup of all.
He was Florida state attorney when the Palm Beach detectives submitted an affidavit with multiple felonies that could have gotten Epstein 135 years. He was a Democrat who had prosecuted Rush Limbaugh, and yet wanted to throw the entire case out. It was only pressure from Palm Beach police that caused him to get the one charge from a grand jury and then also seal the indictment!!
Barry Krischer could have put Epstein away for DECADES. Not only did the detectives have witnesses alleging multiple felonies, they also said there were pictures all through Epstein’s house of these girls. Everywhere, all over the walls. If they’d raided his house there probably would have been decades more.
Epstein was obsessed with taking Trump down. I don’t know, I just am not convinced that they have some smoking gun on Trump. He used to warn his kids when they went to any foreign country that all rooms were bugged. I just have not seen the evidence but perhaps I am but a humble “Trump shill”.
Trump’s actions to strengthen our defense won’t have any effect because they will only produce results years from now, and a Democratic administration or Democratic congress will defund these efforts. I do not see how the Democrats will be kept out of the White House in 2028. Naturally, because Trump has verbally attacked NATO, they have strengthened. Attacks can be a good thing if people respond in a strong manner. But again, this will take time. The question is whether or not we have time.
I agree, there is a large window of time where the US is vulnerable.
To the other comments: If Trump was under communist control, why would leftwing communists take him down? He would be their guy. Right? Why would Epstein take him down? How do we know this? Because we were told? By whom? Trump was intimate with those people. There is testimony from some of Epstein’s victims that Trump himself used these girls. Do we discount it because we do prefer to believe he is good? Haven’t we seen enough of his behavior to know he is not good? We have to begin taking this testimony seriously.
People have to learn to judge the results, not the appearance and or what people say, but the results. And when suspected communist assets begin to attack a suspected KGB asset, the result is – fabricated false credibility of the KGB asset, which is exactly what the KGB wants to be done…it is the reversed psychology scheme, it truly works for them and they are using it – they use already discredited sources (or potentially discredited – by them discredited in the future for example) to publicize the truth, even partially, about the KGB asset, but then they know that nobody will believe it, and to make sure this is the result, they stage (or allow to happen) a couple of assassination attempts to assure that the operation is successful – and the MAGA people refuse to believe anything evil about Trump, which is the KGB assurance that the reversed psychology operation will be successful, which it is – evidently so.
Epstein was obsessed with taking him down, it is all throughout his emails. He was working with Wolff, he was dictating questions during the Russian collusion investigation. I have read a lot of the evidence against Epstein, they mix in anonymous accusations with affidavits. It is rather confusing, but I tend to take the affidavit testimony or Maria Farmer testimony more seriously. I am not familiar with an actual known person who has testified against Trump, but it is possible, and possible they destroyed the evidence, and I suppose possible that the Democrats who wanted him imprisoned and didn’t want him to win the election buried the evidence or Epstein buried it himself.
I don’t understand. The emails show Epstein working with Michael Wolff? And he says his goal is to take Trump down? That’s interesting. Such would suggest a failed blackmail attempt, then? Why would he stick his head in the lion’s mouth? Curious. Please link to some representative emails. This is an important angle. Or were these emails to throw off intelligence people?
I used AI to comb through the Epstein emails and Analyze what Epstein said. AI does not report that Epstein was desperate to take Trump down. He appears to be warning Trump, through his statements to Wolff, that he could take him down if something is not done to help Jeffrey get out of jail free. In fact, I think he could have easily taken Trump down but that would have sealed his own fate. Epstein was in trouble and wanted to warn Trump that they both might go down together. So he was not desperate to take him down. He was desperate to get help from Trump. These threats, coming from a spy, would have alarmed Russian intelligence first and foremost. Here is why Jeffrey is dead and Ghislaine is alive. She made no threat. She was a good spy. Here is the AI analysis:
Based on thousands of pages of emails, documents, and recordings released by the House Oversight Committee in November 2025, Jeffrey Epstein privately claimed on multiple occasions that he was in a position to “take down” Donald Trump, following the breakdown of their former friendship. [Being in a position is not the same thing as using that position. JRN]
Key Findings from the Documents:
Direct Claims of Leverage: In a December 2018 text message, while discussing the political climate surrounding Trump, an associate noted that people were trying to take down the president, to which Epstein replied, “yes thx… its wild. because i am the one able to take him down”.
Insider Knowledge Claims: In a 2011 email to Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein referred to Trump as “the dog that hasn’t barked” and claimed a victim of his had “spent hours at my house with” Trump. In 2019, he told author Michael Wolff that Trump “knew about the girls”.
Hostile Rhetoric: Epstein privately described Trump as “f**king crazy,” “dangerous,” and “dopey,” according to emails from 2017 and 2018.
Targeting Finances: In 2012, Epstein suggested in an email to a lawyer that he should investigate Trump’s finances, including a $30 million loan, calling his business dealings a “sham”.
Proposed “Counter Narrative”: Journalist Michael Wolff suggested in 2017 that Epstein could “save” Trump if he behaved, or “finish him” if needed, to which Epstein responded by detailing his past closeness with the future president.
Context and Contradictions:
Source of Conflict: While the two were close in the 1990s, their relationship soured. Trump has claimed he kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago for being a “creep,” while other reports suggest a business rivalry in Florida.
Victim Accounts: Despite Epstein’s claims about Trump’s knowledge of his conduct, victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre did not directly accuse Trump of wrongdoing in her public allegations.
White House Response: The Trump administration has dismissed the released emails as a “fake narrative” and “bad-faith efforts” by Democrats to smear the president.
Lack of Evidence: No criminal wrongdoing has been established against Trump in connection with Epstein’s crimes, according to the available record.
In summary, the documents indicate that as legal pressure intensified on Epstein, he explicitly claimed to have damaging,, “insider” information on Trump and expressed a desire to use it against him, though it is unclear if he ever successfully executed such a plan before his death in 2019.
!!!!
PS – Ghislaine Maxwell has denied that Epstein and Trump were close friends. She was saving her life by saying this. She is very smart. We have testimony from a woman hired by Epstein, but who was not trafficked. When Epstein introduced her to Trump she overheard him say, “You cannot have this one.” That is significant. There are multiple allegations of Trump being with other girls. If we look at all the testimony out there you will find they are often credible testimonies (while some appear too bizarre to credit). I have been reading nonstop and not taking careful notes because there is too much. I just wanted the sense of the testimony out there, and my sense is that he indulged in underage girls. Of course, is testimony proof? No. We must be careful. But if you have enough and you know the man’s own statements about himself, and his attitudes, I am now confident that he was in a position to be blackmailed or recruited or leveraged. There were hidden video cameras in all of Jeffrey Epstein’s rooms — even in the bathrooms. I just do not see how Trump is innocent here. If Epstein lured Dershowitz into his honeytrap, do you really think Trump was some kind of Victorian hero? Let’s be honest. He was always a playboy.
If anyone is to be blamed for strengthening NATO, it’s Putin. Unfortunately, it appears it will follow the early World War II refrain–“too little, too late”.
Yes. NATO is not nuclear ready. Nuclear weapons are what matter.
QUOTE:
I have a question, Jeff: if Trump is a Russian asset, ensnared by their honeypot operations, what do you think happened to the evidence and why has it not been released? We assume that the DOJ probably got tons of evidence when they initially arrested Epstein in 2019. They raided his island then as well. To me, that is probably when they got the purest evidence.
If so, what happened to it? Wouldn’t Bill Barr have had to have been in on it? Why wouldn’t the Biden admin use this information?
ANSWER:
Dear sir, you have stumbled on an extremely valuable idea – perhaps you don’t realize how valuable it is.
Because precisely – when you ask why Biden didn’t attack Trump with any evidence, that points to the consideration that either there was no evidence of Trump (for carefully prepared reasons) had nothing to do with any visits on Epstein’s Island, or these are the same communist camps – one is openly so, the other is the controlled opposition. Trump, in order to be the most useful to the Center, he must remain clean and well protected.
You speak about Barr – after his known work regarding his sabotage of investigations of the fraud 2020 elections and after he suppressed a substantial investigation of that election, the answer should be obvious – he betrayed the principles of justice and was in fact sabotaging it, and this for that long-term KGB connected asset Biden. But the problem seems to be that the outcome in terms of national security against this evident long-term Russian etc. communist threat is being ignored by all these actors, and that so far Trump has not nominated a one good AG yet – and the present time woman is the proof of it as well.
Bill Barr fired Geoffrey Berman, and his successor Audrey Strauss, a Democrat, almost immediately began the Epstein indictment. It was a Democrat who squashed the Florida investigation in 2005-07 and a Democrat who started it 14 years later.
I have to imagine Audrey Strauss saw almost everything. And then Biden’s people had 4 years to review everything. It just seems hard to believe that they would not use that evidence if they had it. Im not even quite convinced that Trump has “ruptured” the European alliance. Half of the European leaders seem like straight up Russian lackeys, Keir Starmer, Macron, the German chancellor, etc… so of course they look for any opportunity to inflame things. But Trump has boosted NATO’s budget, he’s building up Poland. I am reserving my judgment on how this Greenland thing turns out. Jeff seems to think that everything Trump allegedly wants in Greenland, they can already do with the lease. Trump says you don’t defend an area if it’s a lease. I want to see how it turns out.
I don’t know, I just don’t see a lot of evidence that Trump is helping Russia. He’s pushing Europe to spend more on defense and build up their military. NATO’s Secretary Mark Rutte seems to be quite a big fan of Trump. I am reserving judgment for now.
You have to start thinking about what the communist Kremlin wants to achieve, then you will see how much the alleged Krasnov has helped them, he is helping them a lot (in steps that is) to take over the whole world. You are thinking in terms of economy and perhaps diplomacy and so on, but the essential points how he helps them are the questions of national security and nuclear deterrent strength, in which Russia is far superior to the US…and so on – Mr. Nyquist knows all the necessary details, he has spoken about this point many times.
He let Biden take over the WH in 2021, instead of calling it the communist subversion and halting all the process, and declaring electoral fraud, treason, subversion, government takeover and insurection and so on – all the works, and locking them up, Biden, Obama, and so on.
He did nothing of a kind – and how it helps Moscow – the military buildup delay which Biden caused is sufficiently long enough to cause a serious military problems if Russia and China attack…and all the aspects of that strategy involve also terrorism, sabotage, communist revolution (by the domestic assets), or, as the communists are doing now, provoking a civil war…
And the Venezuela fiasco, and letting people die in Iran while he spoke about helping them, the Tehran regime is probably infested with KGB assets and perhaps even Russian nationals disguised by Iranian Muslims.
And the Greenland problem and what Trump is saying publicly to the NATO allies – it is not so much as the dues, it is that he causes disunity at the time when the Russian communist threat become more imminent, that is the real problem.
It is true that many of these EU governments are run by euro-communists, but overall it is also the image of America as the bully Trump is causing, which can anger and ultimately disunite the whole NATO – and this is exactly what Gen. Sejna wrote about the Russia communist plan for North America and NATO etc.
It is understandable that you don’t think it is this serious, there are many of you honest people who don’t believe Trump is a problem…let us hope that when you realize that these is a serious problem that it will not be too late to do something about it.
Russia has 200 plus deep underground nuclear bunker cities, they can withstand a direct nuclear hit or hits, and this has been going 25 years ago they had them, including modernizing the older ones and building new ones. And the nuclear and bio-chem warhead, and the Russian disarmament cheating, and Trump vising the Kremlin in 1987, the KGB contacts he has, all of it. He is alleged Krasnov (code name). It will probably get even worse, perhaps soon.
I know about Russia’s bunkers, and of their nuclear preparations. I suppose I don’t really see the point of bashing the one person doing anything about building up missile defense and signing contracts for hypersonic missiles. What is the alternative, we just throw up our hands and say all is lost. I mean of course the situation is dire, there is a window of time where the US could not stop an attack, it is most likely years. The most important thing to me is missiles and missile defense and I will support *anyone* who builds up the American arsenal in that sense, because it is quite literally what will determine the war.
The question is that Trump is saying one thing and doing another, so he is not sincere, or makes believe that people are protected and that is not the truth – so yes, he is culpable in this sense – so then you have to ask whether that serves the Russian communist strategy and the answer is definitively affirmative.
So then you begin to look into his past and all the details about his KGB contacts, deals and visits of the Kremlin in 1987 and his desire to be involved in the nuclear disarmament talks with the Russian Bolsheviks back then, all that comes to light – and any honest intel analyst would know they got a hit…a conclusive analysis.
It is of great value to know precisely what the situation is by analyzing all that we can learn. It is no use turning a blind eye to something pathological in a president. Yet, a mystery remains. We still do not have the full story. The wilderness of funhouse mirrors…..
The German Chancellor does not seem to be a Russian lackey. I am not sure why you say that. The United States needs to own territory to defend it? Do we now want to own Japan? Australia? Belgium?
Good point. Ownership was never a prerequisite for America defending its allies before. And the US now has mineral rights in Ukraine but still won’t step up support. Ownership is only an argument now because Trump is pushing it. The Greenland grab alludes to an idea that’s popular in MAGA, that America was fleeced and taken advantage of by its “allies” and that it’s high time for America to take back what it’s owed. The same arguments might underlie some of the punitive tariffs. It’s a masterful way of ensuring America’s self-isolation, and MAGA doesn’t see any danger in that.
Yes. It is a myth as well that America has been fleeced. Our de-industrialization was our own doing, together with our insane trade with China. Furthermore, Christopher Lasch was right when he wrote “The Culture of Narcissism” in 1979. It is very narcissistic when a nation feels entitled to other people’s land and resources. Trump’s narcissism draws out and emboldens the narcissism of the Americans. This is very ugly.
Yes! Exactly what is happening. Other people are echoing his narcissism with their own. Very well put. I’ve noticed this, but haven’t been able to accurately describe it to myself, but this describes it to a T.
Can’t both arguments be true, that collaborators within sold out the US economy to China, and also that Europe was getting the better end of the economic deal? If not, why would they have even renegotiated the tariffs?
Europe getting the better of what deal? Why would they negotiate? I don’t understand the question.
Evidence and truth in these matters is difficult. Most people lack the analytical skills needed to see what things mean, what actual evidence is. I am reluctant to come to conclusions unless I have something to go on. I feel now that I have seen enough of Trump’s behavior, and have heard enough from behind the scenes, that this guy cannot be good. I mention the possibility of a secret counterintelligence group in the United States, but I do not think they have been successful. If such a group exists, and it probably does exist, they have been undermined themselves.
Could it be that Russia found out about this secret group, maybe after Clinton refused to give Europe to Yeltsin, and formulated a new strategic policy to undermine them? Maybe that was one reason for infiltrating conservatives and turning them on the side of Russia?
Laura: Yes, it is possible the Russians realized there was a locus of resistance in the United States preventing Clinton from acting in their favor. What was this locus? It was the fact that Clinton understood his own position and knew what they were asking. He knew that pulling out of NATO would have been suicide for him personally. It was then that Moscow realized their Western “friends” and minions were too aware of the danger to themselves and would not follow through on national suicide. They needed a stupid man, acting as a Republican, who would not understand the implications of what he was being asked to do. Clinton was too smart to kill himself. And he would have been killing himself had he given Yeltsin what he wanted. In fact, his own Secret Service bodyguard would have killed him had they realized what he was doing and why.
Looking back at the 2016 election, there are arguments in either direction for which candidate the Russians supported. But based on what you’re saying, and notwithstanding the Russian Reset and her leftist-communist background, Hillary had a serious black mark against her because of Bill Clinton’s refusal to give in to Yeltsin’s request in 1999. Were the Russians going to trust another Clinton with the job, knowing full well that the couple must have talked to each other about the Yeltsin meeting? And then there was Trump, so malleable and willing to cross any lines to please his Russian friends. It may not have been such a hard choice between the two.
Interesting thought. Yes. This also makes me wonder why FBI Director Comey opened his last minute investigation of the Clinton email scandal in the final leg of the election campaign. This damaged Clinton badly. Was he doing it because Trump was a longterm FBI counterintelligence asset? Or was he doing it for Russia because our counterintelligence was captured by Russia? You can read this either way? My tendency, right now, is to say the Russians got what they wanted. The Devil will be in the details.
The escalated the situation with the Hilary candidacy to get Trump, their asset, elected, that is obvious and they have done it before, it is an old KGB trick.
They win the election either way. Two ways to play it. They do not care who wins. This is what Mr. Wang of Lude Media told me. China is good with either candidate winning. Right?
That’s exactly it. This is the essence of the communist controlled opposition – and when you consider the 1987 Trump visit to the Kremlin, it makes even more sense now.
One has to honestly ask – what kind of a person would want to go to the communist tyrannical government, the lion’s den of evil, and start dealings with them – and to have his Soviet Bloc born wife to in fact go with him there, instead of warning him not to have anything to do with the Russian Bolsheviks or else they will capture him and he will have no choice but to cooperate or else they, both, may not be coming back – she said nothing of a kind because if she did, Trump would have perhaps listened and rejected their advances – which means he had no moral or any other problem with going there and have dealings with the Kremlin, which means that they had captured him as an asset, otherwise he would have been already “retired” and “laid to rest” somewhere near Vladivostok or such like places or Siberia…or the river Volga – or the Penkovskiy “funeral” – this is the essential point that this alleged Krasnov has no moral problem to deal with these communist criminals, in fact he’s signing deals with them and brokers the Russian land acquisition from the helpless Russian attacked Ukraine – this is not just blackmail, it is a direct consent and it has to be on ideological terms…and he is not stupid about this point, only he may have sometime to play “stupid”, but this is very serious step and he made it in 1987.
It is hard to see it this way for people who don’t know much about such communist tactics and recruitment policy, so it is hard to imagine that such a person would be so idiotic to go to such place and begin his long-term relationship, unless people truly realize that he believes it himself, otherwise why would he have gone there, for what purpose ? He had more business opportunities in the US than anywhere else, why go to untrustworthy and evil Russian Bolsheviks, where he wouldn’t be protected by any international law nor anything else ? And now he sits in the WH, he has already betrayed the country in the first place by allowing Biden to take over for 4 years, and so on – and Trump was the one who originally came with the idea to withdraw from Afghanistan and to give up the AF base there, Biden only executed it (and badly and purposely so badly).
One has to think that there are no good people left in there anymore, that they are all either crooks of the worst order or many of them are KGB communist assets, CPUSA etc. criminals. And the very few that are still somewhat honest are silent because of the MAGA fanaticism and they are afraid that the crowd will swallow them up if they say anything about the alleged Krasnov…it is truly the police state communist mentality and environment…and this precisely what the Kremlin wants the enemy to be like – disunited and demoralized.
God will visit them all, they don’t even know what awaits them, they will truly regret the day they were born.
And your conclusion is absolutely correct Mr. Nyquist, that is the tragedy of our times that such people truly do exist and that they have no problem being who they are.
But there is one necessary addition – once they agree with the evil communist scheme, the KGB owns them…..and they are made aware of it, either by additional blackmail or by psychological warfare threats, or some other methods, just to make sure that person is aware that if there are any slip-ups that they will not allow that person to live no matter what. But in case of Trump – he believes it because he has no conscience when he does what he has already done, that is a mark of a perverted soul (judging the outward manifest results of his actions only, not internal dispositions nor character).
The evidence is solely and only circumstantial, and unless something truly manifest comes about, it will probably remain as such, but there are already results that point to that conclusion, and this person would truly wish it wasn’t so, truly – but one cannot escape the conclusion about this alleged Krasnov any longer. And he wouldn’t be the first one of such evil sort, that is yet another sign how successful the KGB has already been in this regard.
If he was on the level and with the knowledge he has about what evils Russia has already done, communist evils, he would have at least cut off diplomatic and economic connections with Moscow, but he wants to be friends with them – this is the surest sign that he belongs to their camp.
It is very important that the final victim of Moscow and Beijing, Mr. Trump, not understand that Russia and China are intending to cut off his head and skewer him.
Are you talking about the story you relate in your article, or are there other things you have heard behind the scenes?
Please be specific in your question. This interface only allows me to see your question. It does not show me what I wrote, neither is there a navigation path to it. Am I talking about what, exactly? I don’t know what statement of mine you are referring to.
Mr. Nyquist, your taxi driver sounds like he could have served as the basis for Mel Gibson’s character in the film Conspiracy Theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy_Theory_(film)
On another note, I believe Manual is misspelled in the article where you state: The Diagnostic and Statistical Manuel of Mental Disorders
And then there is Stanley Kubrick’s “Eyes Wide Shut” of 1999. Maybe he wasn’t too far off either. And he suddenly died immediately after completing that film.
He did indeed.
Thank you. Yes, I thought of him when I saw that movie. He was the very likeness.
Jeff, not sure if you and your readers can comment. A few days ago when the Hong Kong Diaspora in New Zealand turned up to meet the so-called ‘Hong Kong people who fled oppression from the CCP in Hong Kong and a lot of them are from Mainland China’, what happened was the meeting turned aggressive when people from the Hong Kong Diaspora asked them:
‘Why come out to New Zealand when they have no skill or intention to learn about their new environment and society that you will be living in’
Their response was to blame the New Zealand Government for not helping them to ‘integrate to society’.
What happened was people from the Hong Kong Diaspora told these new ‘Hong Kong people that just because they are oppressed by the CCP and blame the government for not helping with integrating with your new environment and society, have you thought that you have to rely on yourself to integrate yourself with the new society and people who you are living with and to punt responsibility on others is insane’.
Then these ‘new Hong Kong people who are from Mainland China’ decided to call the Hong Kong diaspora racists which was met with a swift response:
Many of us came out and knew what to do when we arrived in New Zealand, Australia and etc and did everything we can to integrate with New Zealand society, we did the work ourselves. At the end the ‘Hong Kong Diaspora including myself’ were called ‘racists’.
The biggest thing that takes the cake is when these ‘Hong Kong people from Mainland China’ would complain no one would employ them for part time or full time work as well.
Also it seems people who I know from the Hong Kong Diaspora in the US, UK, Canada, Europe and etc are reporting the same thing as well
Hong Kong has been a funnel for sending agents abroad.
Trump is not a mystery, not at all. What is very hard to imagine is the depth of evil that comes from him and through him, that is the point which will ultimately decide at the end how this will play out.
But the KGB machine wants to have the results in demoralizing the enemy, the US and also the NATO members, and so Trump fits the role very well, and he does it very well for them.
That the daughter of Maxwell (Robert Joch, born in Slovakia, member of British Parliament – don’t recall, but probably the leftist socialist Labour Party), that is the key to understand the Kremlin connections and why Trump is saying that the Epstein investigation is a waste of time….and this is not because he could be called by some to have been involved, but because the Center doesn’t want the investigation to become a real one – the KGB doesn’t want to lose its blackmail leverage.
Now they are saying that Epstein was about to start to cooperate with the US Attorney’s Office and so he was terminated promptly. The whole situation has the KGB fingerprints on it from the beginning, just by observing their perfected sinister methods of blackmail and recruitment of agents of influence.
But this person still holds that in case of the alleged Krasnov the cooperation is based on ideological consent to the communist ideology, which the alleged Krasnov displays in certain proposed socialist policies and or compromises on those that the “conservative people” may find somewhat questionable (the least to say), and the alleged Krasnov’s promotion of the now so evident communist biological warfare operation regarding the Covid CCP “vaccine” fiasco and its aftermath – this is not possible to achieve, this kind of cooperation of the alleged Krasnov, just based on KGB blackmail – because the results are extremely evil – and only a hardened fanatic communist is capable to set aside his personal conscience that otherwise would seriously object to any involvement in this, and that such a atheistic communist fanatic would be the kind of person that wouldn’t have any guilty conscience after all and at all.
Then the “assassination attempts” – one of which was a serious situation (Butler, PA), and the other only an attempt, but overall the result to booster the Krasnov’s credibility were the apparent sought-out conclusions that the highly experienced communist espionage would be after.
It is only part of the scheme that they are slow-walking the Epstein analysis, and nobody knows what results or rather “results” that would bring, and the time may be seriously short for that to come about.
So far nobody has been charged for anything else, including Biden, Obama, Clintons and so on.
If there is any such secret intel organization within the CIA, their influence is still hidden and any substantial results are missing, at this time that is, but let us be hopeful that perhaps one day something will change for the better – OR will it ?
When you have a diabolical force of fully committed communist war-machine at the doorsteps, it is little too late to consider the options that one may have had or would have or should have or whatever may be happening – the reality always wins, because it is just that – reality.
Russian and Chinese communism is that cold evil reality and true justice is missing, and the proclamation and public display of pretended “justice” and findings, that will not stop the KGB criminals from imposing their evil end on the whole world, as previously planned and now being realized. The Epstein – Maxwell angle is a serious situation, but will there be justice served at the end ? Many are skeptical whether there is still any true justice left at all, at this point and time…oh well, but there is – God’s Justice which none can escape.
Great article – the question remains – what will change, if anything ? And how will anything change – in what way will it potentially change ? God is in charge, and Our Lady of Fatima has spoken (which states clearly that Russia will spread her errors, causing wars and persecutions against the Church – various nations will be annihilated…etc. ).
Not only does it seems he was about to cooperate, his Belarusian “girlfriend” got him to sign a document handing all assets over to her, like one day before he died. This Karyna Shuliak, who apparently allegedly had a lesbian marriage orchestrated by Epstein, and Epstein was known for orchestrating marriages for citizenship purposes.
Epstein was caught and might have been tempted to cooperate. But then he died under rather unusual conditions. That is to be expected, right? The long arm of his employer is long indeed.
Dear Jeff and Friends, it looks like now that Sarah Palin was the last and only chance for the US to have a courageous and honest Presidency. That’s why she had to be destroyed, even if she singlehandedly rescued the Republican Party from political grave in 2008. I was her enthusiastic supporter until she decided to remove herself entirely from the American political life as the personal cost had become unbearable for her.
I have a basis to suspect that the so called “election” in 2008 were stolen by DEMONRATS. in 2009, if I remember well, I read, in one of the conservative blogs, in which the author estimated that there were up to nine million illegal or ineligible votes cast in that election.
A bit later, Jan Jekielek, the owner of the website, “The American Thought Leaders” held an interview with an author of the documentary work in which he detailed the methods applied by “Democrats” to defraud and steal elections on the municipal and state levels.
Unfortunately, due to the chaotic and perfunctory character of my internet browsing, I no longer remember any more details from that conversation.
That leads me back to Trump. When he “won” back election in 2024, I regarded him, with all my reservations, as the greatest hero of our Century so far. Now my opinion about him could be lower, mainly because for his betrayal of Ukraine.
Not only this betrayal is morally reprehensible, but it is also self-destructive if not suicidal for America itself. If Ukraine fell quickly in 2022, the global geo-political situation would be just unimaginable and would end up for America very badly.
However, I still believe that it would be prudent for us to wait a bit longer with the final assessment of Trump’s Presidency.
There are two factors that, potentially, could influence his attitude towards global politics.
One is an unusually friendly and cordial relationship with the recently elected Polish President Karol Nawrocki who came out to be much better, more principled and tougher leader that anyone anticipated. After Nawrocki’s win, trump invited him to the White House and gave him a welcome much warmer than reserved for any other prominent conservative leader like Georgia Meloni of Italy, Senae Takaichi of Japan or even Benjamin Netanyahu himself.
In Davos, Nawrocki strongly defended Trump by pointing that the European part of NATO while much larger in terms of population, contributes barely 35% to the NATO budget, when the US contributes 65%, which is, as he believes, is unfair. Nawrocki pointed also on the Polish strategy which envisages the increase of defense expenditures to 5% in the incoming years which would be one of the highest in the world. While announcing that, he was sitting next to visibly embarrassed NATO’s secretary Mark Rutte, a total mediocrity
of politician and a leader. Nawrocki was immediately echoed by his predecessor, the former Polish President Andrzej Duda who said: “Why is that five hundred million people (the European part of NATO) begs country of three hundred million to defend them from the country of hundred forty million?”.
The next day, Rutte attempted desperately to mend fences with Trump by making a strongly worded statement that it would be delusional to think that the Western Europe would survive without alliance with America.
Nawrocki is a very vocal critic of the “leadership” of the so called “European Union”. however, he doesn’t advocate Poland’s withdrawal from that body, so it doesn’t look like he would allow trump to use him as a tool to dismantle the EU itself. He was even more forceful naming Russia as the main threat to the Western world.
Yesterday, I read in the Polish conservative mass-media that Trump has said that he hasn’t got any plans to withdraw the American Armed Forces from Europe. In fact, as the Polish media stated, there are negotiations being conducted between Warsaw and Washington to increase the number of the American troops stationing in Poland from ten thousand, presently, to fifteen thousand.
So, it looks like not all is lost. YET…
The other factor that is permanently lingering under the surface of the world’s political games like a scab under the rotten skin is the link between the terrorist attack by Hamas on Israel and Putin.
Few weeks ago, I watched on one of the so called “social media” a lady in her forties, some sort of strategic analyst, very sharp and very well informed who told her interviewer that “it is obvious that the reason behind the terrorist attack on Israel was to draw world’s attention from the Russian invasion on Ukraine Netanyahu knows that and he is going to do something about that…”. There was also a surprising number of commenters sharing their awareness and knowledge of that event.
Again, due to the chaotic and perfunctory nature of my internet browsing, I failed to secure the ling to that discussion or memorize the name of that remarkable lady.
From the point of view of any discernible and thinking observer of world’s politics it is INCONCEIVABLE that this horrendous event, which is the most illustrative proof of Putin’s perfidy and barbarity should not be regarded as a final argument that there is no negotiation or any settlement possible with Putin’s Russia.
It is worthy to point on the meeting between Trump and Netanyahu that took place in Florida few days before the Trump’s “special military operation’ in Venezuela.
So again, perhaps, something is going on behind our backs that we know nothing about.
Kind regards – Bogdan
P.S: It’s also worthy of adding that on his way back from Davos to Washington, Trump prized Nawrocki with great enthusiasm describing him as “fantastic guy ding an excellent job”. this matter could be of secondary or even tertiary significance, however, considering Trump’s erratic and even irrational acting and his highly personalized approach to international politics, such relationship between him and Nawrocki could have a positive influence on the relationship between European part of NATO and America in general. Perhaps, the prospective increase in the number of the American troops in Poland could be a result of this relationship.
Also, when mentioning Polish plans to increase Polish defense spending, I meant 5% of Polish GDP.
Regards
Trump also spoke glowingly of Delcy Rodriguez and Lula da Silva in Brazil. I am not sure Trump’s praise means anything. Even if I am unfair in my judgment, he has mishandled things so badly that he will be impeached. And this will crippled the Republican Party clear through 2028.
Yes. If one were to keep track of Trump’s praises, Putin gets more than any other world leader. And how many people did Trump speak highly of, that he later had a falling out with?
Also you think that former CIA agent, who so far, correctly predicted Trump’s election wins, is wrong about 2028? If Trump is impeached there is no way he could run again in 2028, right?
Dear Jeff, you’re, most probably, right. I’m fully aware of how deeply EVIL permeated the so-called Western civilization and my own EUNUCHALIA is the best example of our collapse. It looks like we have very little chance of survival.
The matter of the presence or even an increase of the number of the American troops stationing in Poland could be or will be an indicator of Trump’s and his cohort strategic plans.
Only a complete idiot would be tempted to thing that America isolated from NATO, regardless of the rot devouring its European flank could survive as a democratic country of free people. No amount of flirting with Putin and his regime will buy America security even in a short term.
If you’re right, Trump is either a complete fool or completely EVIL.
Regards
There is another mortal danger that is still hanging over our heads: the possibility of the severe global cooling caused by the Grand Solar Minimum which, according to prof. Zharkova, should intensify around the year 2028. If Zharkova is right in her predictions all our speculations and political prognoses will be worthless. This winter in Europe is exceptionally cold with temperatures in Poland falling below thirty degrees Celsius and I don’t remember such cold weather even from my early childhood.
However, here in Australia, the Summer seems to be returning to the normal state with temperatures soaring occasionally above forty.
Regards
I do not think our speculations are worthless because of the Grand Solar Minimum. The Russians and Chinese were planning the one clenched fist operation for 2035. Various sources have reported this. According to Hong Kong businessman, Mr. Elmer Yuan, the communists decided to move up the timetable for attack because they anticipated some kind of economic collapse. I think what they anticipated was a climate-caused collapse. China has been affected by massive floods since 2020. I think they moved up the timetable because of the Grand Solar Minimum. They know all about it. If they waited till 2035 to show their hostility to us, we would have no chance at all. They are therefore deciding to move early because of the Grand Solar Minimum. In two years the effects of the Grand Solar Minimum will have compromised the food situation of Russia and China. Their attack must therefore come now or never. Of course, if the climate crisis is driving them to war we should not find it abnormal. This kind of thing destroyed most civilizations in the second millennium BC. We do not know exactly what happened. Perhaps it was the volcanic eruption at Thera, which devastated the Minoan civilization, facilitating their conquest by the Mycenaeans. Global temperatures might have collapsed for a period, explaining the rise of the “sea peoples” who took down the Hittites, near easter empires, and almost finished off Egypt.
We may be entering a similar crisis.
PS – the Southern Hemisphere has the strongest heat from the sun at this time of year because the Earth’s orbit comes closer to the sun than at any other time. This closeness will increase over the next 200 years. But this closeness will not change the effect of the sun’s electromagnetic field being weakened. More rain, more clouds, will come to the world. General cooling will continue, with the exception of odd regions like Alaska. I do not now specifically how Australia will be affected.
Bogdan: I think the war is not far off now. I hope that they stumble on their shoelaces again. But they continue to mobilize. It is nuclear weapons that we are detecting on the Polish border, just inside Belarus. Why are they forward deploying nuclear weapons in that way? Why not use these weapons on Ukraine? Because Ukraine will fall as soon as they see Warsaw and Berlin falling.
The grand solar minimum will hit different areas differently. We can look back in history to see what to expect.
China’s weather this past year has seen disaster after disaster–floods and droughts. Food supplies have been impacted. Europe is unusually cold. Reports I have seen indicate that General Winter has been hard on Russian troops. I don’t see how the CCP and Russia can wait until 2035 to attack.
Meanwhile the west coast of the U.S. into the Southwest are unusually warm and dry.
There are other reasons that I expect the attack to come much earlier, possibly this year. China is collapsing, the only thing holding it together is the PLA and police. I wouldn’t be surprised if the attack comes this summer. Russia too is collapsing. They can either go out quietly, or explode like a supernova. They have the nukes, what’s to stop them in a moment of desperation from using them?
I expected the attack to have come last summer.
Yes. The arrack could come in the spring. But I think they will need most of the year for the full mobilization.
Unfortunately, I am beginning to believe that the Epstein story involves Trump in a bad way (unless Trump himself is an intelligence asset of longstanding). Also, if he is a Russian asset, he is so erratic and unreliable that he could easily end up hurting his Russian friends. But the damage he has done to the U.S. economy, especially with these tariffs, cannot be easily explained away. That Epstein was working for the Kremlin was always my suspicion. To have it confirmed by newspapers that Epstein met with Putin and imported Russian girls, makes the credible into something closer to the truth. That Trump was a close friend of Epstein leaves me with two thoughts: Either Trump is a bad guy, or he is a bad guy in order to be a double agent who has fooled the Russians into making strategic mistakes. What those mistakes are is unclear to me, since we are the side caught off guard and unprepared. Even if Dawson S. Field is correct about the Trump family being a spy family working for the U.S. Government, we are only barely keeping the enemy at bay. Trump is going to lose the midterms. That is a certainty. Too many Republicans are retiring from Congress at the end of this year. The most damning thing, of course, is that we are losing badly on the front that counts most: Culturally. If we are playing double agent trick cards to beat them, they nonetheless hold all the culture cards. And those are the real trump cards.
Trump is too stupid and unreliable to be a long-time double-agent, but might just be good enough as a short-term or transactional asset in the right circumstances. Maybe the Russians think it’s worth putting up with Trump’s blundering to get what they really want. Maybe because of his personality, he’s willing to give Russia the one thing they really want, that other smarter more reliable presidential assets have so far refused. Maybe Trump is worth the risk to Russia, especially since they know he is all bluster. Aside from the Epstein factor, around 2015 or 2016 Eric Trump admitted that the family business gets most of its funding from Russia. Even if the Trump empire is not so reliant on Russian money now, I think Trump knows which side his bread is buttered on. He probably figures that he needs Russia’s help to realize his grandiose ambitions of getting Greenland, Venezuela, Cuba etc. He appears to act very erratically, but there is a line he won’t cross as far as hurting Russia. The new defense initiatives he authorized won’t take effect for years, but he’s anxious to help Russia’s strategic position right now. From what your sources are saying, it sounds like Trump’s desire to make a strategic alliance with Russia at the expense of Europe will become unambiguous in 2026. If nothing else, it will help settle the question of whether he’s crazy or bought.
Also, many conservatives argue that the right is regaining ground in the culture wars under Trump. Can you explain why the culture cards are the real trump cards?
Politics is downstream from culture. The culture is still breaking down. There has been no fundamental change toward good in the culture, in spite of a few surface changes, like laws barring males from competing in female sports here and there. Its sad that Conservatives think Trump is returning us to godly character or morality because he says there are only two genders.
But abortion on demand, feminism, break-up of the home, all manner of sexual perversion, drug use, etc continue unabated.
I was thinking the other day, how I loved God, America, had strong “conservative” values, knew there were only two genders, etc, etc long before I knew anything about Donald Trump, but now we’re at a place where all of that is questioned about a person who voices their disgust with the man since he decided to come along and put his “brand” on it and call it America First, and then proceeded to take it on down this path that is harmful to America.
Conservatives seem to think Trump embodies their values, and line up to follow him.
I’m thinking that God is jealous. For He says He is a jealous God, and also that He will not share His glory. Yet so many really idolize him and pretty much put him on the level that God alone should have in their lives.
But, like the song that says “I was country, when country wasn’t cool”, I was a patriot before Trump pretended to be one and became like a pied piper.
I never needed the likes of Trump’s blustery rhetoric validate or bolster my beliefs. But it seems many do.
I think I am beginning to understand the larger game. Trump is very stupid. He knows little about history or politics. He never cared. The Russians are his friends. They made him rich, provided him with girls. They also provide him with intelligence, with emotional support. He thinks, therefore, that he is being guided to glory by his friends. No doubt they have told him their good intentions toward him. All he has to do is follow a few simple steps. They are guiding him to the “right” decisions each time. He might disagree here and there, but his is blind and they can lead him by the nose. It is only the destination that matters. And now we can see the faint outlines of that destination. Yes. Trump has committed acts of war against Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran. He has blockaded two of these countries, bombed the third, and kidnapped the president of the first. China is now claiming an attempted coup by one of their generals who they say was colluding with the United States. Thus China, a fourth power, has a justification for declaring war on the United States. These justifications for war, coinciding with mobilizations, cannot be a coincidence. Under international law all these countries can attack us legally, especially as Cuba and Venezuela and Iran have mutual defense commitments with Russia and China. All the above can now declare war on the United States that are legal under international law. Our NATO allies are no longer obligated to side with us because we were the ones who started the blockade. NATO is a defensive alliance. America has committed acts of aggression. America’s legal position, in terms of international law, is clear. In fact, Russia’s tankers have seized and may also claim a blockade was started against them. Russia has the 2014 “Ukraine coup” accusations as well. Trump’s mission has been to alienate our allies and start a world war by acts of aggression, etc. I think he has largely accomplished his mission. Russia is mobilizing massively this year. China is mobilizing under the smokescreen of an alleged military coup attempt. It is all coming into focus, and Trump enabled it. I do not think this is a a coincidence. It is, once again, “The Triumph of Provocation.” We are facing a large alliance and our allies are beginning to side with China and will ultimately make some kind of deal with Russia. What choice will they have as the madman Trump blunders on?
Wow! Everything you say here makes perfect sense. This explains his “moves against” Venezuela and Iran that didn’t amount to a hill of beans, and his rhetoric which may forecast some similar “action” against Cuba. We all know we are not in a position to really accomplish change for the good in Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, and it’s clear Trump has no heart and mind for it. So, I’ve been wondering, why the tough talk? Why send naval forces to Venezuela but only shoot a few speedboats out of the water, yet publicize and glorify it as some great action protecting Americans. Why talk about getting rid of the Communist regimes in Cuba and Venezuela, while cozying up to their “big brothers” in Russia and China whom we would have to fight in order to accomplish this.
This makes the most sense. Perfect sense.
It seems he is also accomplishing other things for his Red friends. Seems to me, his rhetoric about helping the Iranian patriots, and his abduction of Maduro inspired hope in those people and, especially in the case of Iran, caused many to speak up and stand up, thus to be killed with no American help.
Now that the mullahs have killed thousands and thousands of patriotic Iranians, Trump may indeed be permitted to do some little something against the regime in order to keep his base under his spell for whatever length of time the Russians and Chinese still need before they begin whatever they have planned against us
that didn’t amount to a hill of beans…
Is this the southern way to speak ?
You have to be careful what you say because others could be eating or drinking tea and could spill the drink on themselves and or the food, when they start chuckling while reading this… :-))
But of course you are right, he most certainly never had intended to free the people of Venezuela and Iran in the first place, that’s why him and his administration never speaks about the communist regimes of Venezuela and Iran and that they are both subordinated to Moscow etc. – again, this is being used as the discrediting tool again America, and to cause the more disunity in NATO because of the intentional lack of the right principles that a true statesman is obligated to use – Trump is in fact avoiding such terms and for a serious (Moscow is watching !) reasons. God will repay these enemies of the truth when their time is up, there is an absolute certitude.
😂
Yessir, I guess it’s a Southern way of talking
Yes.
Laura: Regarding the culture cards. During a long period of peace the culture cards are the Trump cards, because politics is downstream from culture. If the culture becomes flooded with leftist themes and ideas, then politicians find themselves embarrassed about keeping a secure border out of fear of being called “racists.” Politicians are afraid to make anticommunist statements for fear of being likened to Joseph McCarthy. All these movies, TV, art, poetry, paintings, have been against our traditional folkways and values, against fighting for God, country, family. This softened our culture and made us susceptible to sabotage, to open borders, to single parent households and women demanding the right to kill their babies, This in itself created the demand for foreign labor, which the business community would politically lobby for. In come brown people who are from countries that do not share our institutional traditions or values. These are susceptible to recruitment by socialist politicians, who militate against American culture, against American unity. Such is labeled “white racism.” Then you have Critical Race Theory and its demoralizing effects. White people feel guilty about their ancestors and heroes. Clearly, we are the bad guys. Cynicism about everything is added to the mix.
During a period of prolonged peace the culture cards are the trump cards. These cards undermine the rhetoric of national defense. Why defend a racists, sexist, country? They lead us to believe that nuclear war means the end of the world rather than the end of a particular city or country.
But a curious reversal happens when a World War is about to begin. The culture that was created in central Europe by Hitler and the Nazis was totally destroyed by bombs and guns. All the literature, poetry, thought, films, concepts of the Nazis were swept away. Likewise, when America is bombed and invaded, and our people exterminated, our culture will be gone. There is no trump card there anymore because the social basis for culture was destroyed. The same thing happened to Rome in the fifth century. The barbarians came and literacy disappeared within a generation because all the major cities were depopulated. Massive populations starved. Rome went from a city of 800,000 to 30,000 in a few decades. What happened, then, to Roman “culture”? Except for Byzantium, holding out in the East, Roman culture in the Western Roman Empire was at an end. Everything fell to the level of subsistence agriculture.
Today, using nuclear and biological weapons, our culture will not matter once the cities are depopulated, once the power grid is lost, once four-fifths of the population has been starved or killed by other means. A new culture, operating at a lower level of technological sophistication, will come in its place. Perhaps it will be entirely Chinese. America could cease to exist altogether. The people living on this land might belong to an entirely different race. Here the weapon of mass destruction becomes the trump card.
In this game the trump card changes as the game moves from culture war to kinetic war. We are at the end of the culture war phase. And we lost the culture war. Whatever Trump does now, at the eleventh hour, is too late. Cultural changes take years to mean anything. We haven’t got years. We have months. Maybe 18 months or less. The lab found in Las Vegas, the second of its kind, was found mere steps away from a water reservoir.
They intend to kill us by the hundreds of millions. Culture, at that point, plays no part.
This frequently comes to my mind when listening to people say that Trump is securing the Western Hemisphere, and how he is doing things to protect us.
1Th 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
Lol, I just browsed through the Gateway Pundit headlines after posting this verse, and looky what I found:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/02/donroe-doctrine-us-china-competition-latin-america/
Look at the AI generated picture they posted in the article, underneath the headline.
Very thought provoking analysis. And how ironic, that the main argument for voting for Trump was that he was the last and only chance of saving the nation. He would stop the immigration floodgates while Kamala would have opened them further, thereby dooming the US. Now you’re saying the culture fight was already lost and that we’re rapidly moving to a time of war, where only weapons and military readiness matter. In that case, we would have been better off getting the candidate who would have staved off the bombs by not torching the Western alliance. I think losing the presidency (but still keeping the House and Senate) would have been a blessing in disguise for the Republicans. After losing two elections in a row Trump would be done as the driving force in the party, and the door would be open for candidates of better character and more substance (maybe Cruz or De Santis, who have more experience and are willing to put in the work and educate themselves about new subjects). More importantly, the pro-Russia position getting soundly rejected at the ballot box would have sent a clear message to the Republican Party that Americans prefer a Reagan instead of a Putin apologist as president. It would have brought the conservative movement back to reality, and gone a long way towards empowering the anti-Russia side and ridding the movement of Russian influence. It would likely have spurred a return to traditional Republican foreign policy ideas of seeing Russia as the enemy. Imagine if a strong anti-Russia Republican could win in 2028, with the world war still not yet started by Russia and China. But instead, even if Trump gets impeached we’ll be stuck with JD Vance and then another weak Democrat president. The timeline works in the enemies’ favor.
Here is where lower cultural level combines with losing the culture war and guarantees bad outcome either way. In one sense it would have been worse if Harris was elected. People are generally too illiterate to know that socialism devolves into tyranny and it can happen fast. When socialist leaders are validated in U.S. elections the socialists are emboldened, the entrenchment accelerates, indebtedness balloons. The left uses the inch to take a mile. With Trump’s election everyone saw the country was rejecting all the woke stuff, the open border, etc. Even if Trump betrays us, the country realizes we don’t want that leftist nonsense when people vote against the left. But then we have this low cultural level where mind and spirit are corrupted. This mediocrity is suited to the center-left. The right itself moves to the left. In fact, the right moves toward semi-National Socialist themes. If the cultural level does not improve how do we escape this death spiral? Culture first.
This is excellent summation, but you have to realize that the KGB Kremlin doesn’t care much about the cultural wars but about installing communism worldwide, so their objectives may even play along some “conservative points”, but overall what matters is to weaken the enemy and provoke civil war or communist revolution, and then to strike with the nuclear bombs – so it is not what the domestic socialists and communist want, but what the Center commands, and so the ends are the guiding principles and the cultural wars are just small part of the whole strategy – and the domestic assets cannot say no to the command in the Kremlin, otherwise they are “retired” rather fast and at the end most of them will be retired when they are no longer needed…this is how sinister and evil the Russian etc. communist leadership truly is.
They are using him for the demoralization scheme, that’s why the whole thing may be seriously coordinated from the Center and he is only acting this way on purpose to get the results they want – and the reversed psychology the KGB uses, to accuse with the truth their own asset BUT by discredited sources, which then the truth is discredited itself because the sources that claim the true conclusions and even supply some facts to it, they are not believed because they themselves are either publicly prejudiced against the asset (pretending to be prejudiced – all is very carefully coordinated by the commanding officers), or they say something or do something that discredit them, which is all done on purpose to destroy the truth and to silence those who come with the facts and true analysis about the KGB asset…
This is one of the most dangerous and very successful method how to protect the KGB operation from being destroyed the communists have ever come up with, and unfortunately it does work very well for them.
I think we are already past demoralization. Trump is maneuvering us into a position from whence we can be attacked legally by enemies and abandoned with good conscience by our allies.
Well, it is up to Moscow to decide when they will have enough of their evil games with their potential victims, but there still might be more scandals and such like tools at their disposal, as they are probably not yet fully ready to begin – UNLESS they plot the internal domestic communist revolution or civil war, that is still a serious possibility, or the “Islamic terrorist attack” (Russian nukes and so on). This is just an opinion, nothing more.
Jeffrey Nyquist I really like Israel in your opinion, as Israel is in the middle of all this, does Israel know about China and Russia’s plans to destroy the US? the story that the Mossad participated in the Epstein case and that your father-in-law may have had contact with the Mossad? If the Mossad is so good, why did they let the people of Israel be vaccinated? Or is it a lie that Israel was one of those that vaccinated the most on a large scale?
What? My father-in-law may have had contact with Mossad? I do not have a father-in-law. And we do not understand what the long-term health effects of the vaccines were. It seems Israel has survived them. So, whatever the bad effects it was not a kill shot as many people have claimed.
sorry jeffrey it wasn’t your father-in-law it was epstein’s father-in-law who according to theories was related to the mossad
No Antonio. MI5 says Robert Maxwell — the father of Epstein’s business partner Ghislaine Maxwell — was a KGB agent. His involvement with Mossad was an attempt to penetrate Mossad for Moscow. Not the other way around.
His real name was Robert Joch, he was from poor Eastern Slovakia, and how then did he get the money for the huge Maxwell Publishing business in UK ? From whom did the money come from ? For what purpose was he involved in publishing in the first place ?
It all fits, KGB did it in other case, among which the name Soros is also important, especially when he financed the Polish and Czech “anticommunist dissidents” in 1980s (through a “former” Czech communist living in Sweden, with Russian nuclear physics degree – GRU controlled studies in Moscow), and Soros at the SAME TIME visited the Kremlin and Beijing – while financing their anticommunist opposition (which he knew they know about it, he said so in one of the videos)…that means that the WHOLE deal was KGB run fraud and nothing else. If not, then Soros would have been in a anonymous grave somewhere in Siberia buried for decades already. There is NO CHANCE they would have allowed him to live if what he did in Poland and Czechoslovakia was a genuine anticommunist support…
Maxwell is probably the same kind of operations, which now is used through his daughter and Epstein against the western elites…for KGB subversive ops and the demoralization purposes – and it all works, and they are not even trying to hide it anymore.
Trump by the way got 150 million dollars loan from Soros to build the Trump Tower in Chicago, that is his connection to Soros, beside what is not openly visible and remains secret…and there probably is something of the sort.
Jeff, I had some other questions.
There have been some recent articles hinting that Epstein was a Russian asset.
Two major pieces of evidence, aside from what’s in the files, is Donald Tusk of Poland opening an investigation, and Christopher Steele saying Epstein was recruited by Russian intelligence in the 90s.
My question is, is it suspicious that it is these two guys saying it? Steele was essentially a Russian asset who almost single-handedly caused the “Russian collusion” investigation, and Tusk is essentially a leftist from what I’ve heard. Furthermore, it struck me that Tusk could use an investigation to look at his enemies, the right wing, whatever. He explicitly used the justification that “some leaders are still compromised”.
What do you make of this? I think he was obviously an asset, but is it suspicious that Tusk and Steele are the two major figures who have taken this position?
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/02/01/epstein-links-to-putin-and-fsb-raise-fears-he-was-a-russian/
And a second question: do you follow Lei’s Real Talk at all? She is a Chinese commentator, I believe, who comments on the CCP. She has been saying that Xi has gone to war with the military and trying to seize total power. There are Chinese military movements in Beijing apparently.
My second question was, do you know of this Lei and do you think she is credible? If so, I think you two would have great conversations. And secondly, do you believe her when she says this is NOT a strategic deception by the CCP. To me, it seems like it could be a pretext in order to do military movements.
The Epstein thing to me seems like classic Suvorov Spetznaz prediction where they dump all the info they have on leaders in order to spread doubt and distrust in the West. Appreciate your thoughts.
Christopher Steele’s shabby dossier was so discredited that it armored Trump against further accusations. I think Steele did Trump a favor, and he continues to do Trump a favor.
Yes, I think David Satter came to that conclusion too. It looks like Russia purposefully provoked the collusion scandal to immunize Trump from any real investigation of his ties to Russia. And now the ‘Russia collusion hoax’ narrative set in stone. It’s almost like Steele was a plant in Hillary’s campaign, tasked with producing an untrue and salacious dossier that could serve as a basis for claiming that all Trump-Russia investigations are nothing more than partisan smear jobs.
Here is an interview with Peter Strzok from October 2024. He says there were multiple investigations in 2016-2017 that had nothing to do with the Steele dossier. One was centered on the DNC emails hack (which was eventually traced to a GRU operative), another on obstruction of justice by Trump, and another short-lived counterintelligence investigation into Trump’s dealings with Russian nationals. The goal of the counterintel investigation was to learn more information, not to bring about any criminal charges, but it was quickly shut down. Read into that what you will.
Satter is a good analyst. Yes, it was an immunization for D. Trump. A clever tactic they can use to clear any and every suspicious person. The other tactic is the QAnon tactic. Say that he is dirty, but he has made this sacrifice for the good of our side. He is a double agent. Trust the Plan.
The whole thing may be a coordinated deal from the beginning, to create Trump’s credibility, this was done firstly before the elections and then for the last elections it became the used issue by the Trump camp – and the promises of justice by Trump, which of course are not seen so far to be realized (like indictments of Obama and Biden and so on, and even of Hillary Clinton for that matter – nothing is done yet, for that reason.) These are the surest signs the whole thing is coordinated and very carefully so, which means the foreign experts are involved…the KGB doesn’t miss a trick.
A Wargame Shows Just How Vulnerable Europe Is to a Russian Attack:
With America disengaging, Russia might be ready for new war much sooner than previously estimated:
https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/a-wargame-shows-just-how-vulnerable-europe-is-to-a-russian-attack-12dfdbfa
Of course they are not ready. The West thought the Moscow had become friendly and there would be peace for a long time. Very few of us were not fooled by what happened in 1991.
Jeff, can you comment on this article by Dave Troy? Do you think it’s accurate?
https://america2.news/the-russian-roots-of-trumps-venezuela-and-greenland-operations/
Troy describes how Venezuela, Greenland and the Monroe Doctrine 2.0 traces back to the first Trump Administration, and how the whole thing is teeming with Russian influence. Venezuela was basically a provocation, Russia deliberately bigged up the threat and stationed nuclear-capable bombers there to alarm the US and to encourage the right to resurrect the Monroe Doctrine and refocus on Latin America. (Remember the false 2020 election fraud stories about Venezuelan voting machines? Maybe they were part of this.) At the same time, the Russians floated the idea through diplomatic backchannels that Russia would gladly give up Venezuela in return for the US abandoning Ukraine. In other words, Putin wanted Trump to swap spheres of influence with Russia. Trump was supportive but Bolton was against it, so nothing happened. Also around 2019, a mutual friend of Trump and Putin (Ron Lauder, heir to the cosmetics giant) proposed to Trump that the US could acquire Greenland, and there were even behind the scenes discussions with Denmark about getting the island.
Seven years later, Trump still can’t get Greenland out of his mind. Is it due to narcissism or Russian influence?
The timing is interesting. It feels like a quid pro quo. Russia complains loudly but does nothing when US troops arrest Maduro and the US navy seizes several Russian oil tankers. One the face of it, Trump’s actions are highly inconsistent with his soft-on-Russia policy of the last year. But even when he’s “against” Russia he winds up helping Russia. Because suddenly Russia and China are such a threat that the US needs to own Greenland in order to keep them out of the Western hemisphere. It’s gotten to the point where NATO countries are talking about putting troops in Greenland, when instead they should be worrying about the Russian invasion from the east. So Venezuela is forgotten, and instead the media focus is on how Trump is imposing his will on a weakened Europe. Putin made Trump look good in Venezuela, so Trump repays the favor by antagonizing Europe some more? All in the name of the Monroe Doctrine. It’s possible that Putin promised Trump help in getting Greenland (and maybe promised to stand aside if the US tries regime change in Cuba). The right wing media is waxing eloquent about how Trump is remaking the world order, while Russia and China are laughing.
Yes. All this punditry is Tom foolery. Waxing eloquent about the destruction of stable defending structures is like singing “Mac the Knife” when the knife is being stuck in your bowels.
Dear Mr Nyquest
I’m a listener to all your videos and have followed you for 6 years would you please in your next video discuss the relevance of the UK and it’s crown in relation to the global agenda state your opinions on whose side the UK is on as you may have guessed I live in England
Yours sincerely Jayne
Jayne: I fear that the UK has been targeted successfully by the Russians and communists in a way that is particularly devastating. We see the corruption with the Royals. Worse than that, your freedom of speech has been taken away. People are jailed in your country for Facebook posts. They have filled your country with non-British immigrants and grooming gangs of Muslims. And you are not allowed to protest too loudly. You are in a terrible situation, facing gradual destruction. The Russian communists have a special hatred for Britain, and this has led them to concentrate on destroying your country and its leadership position, which was especially potent while Churchill was in politics (roughly, up to 1955). Once Churchill was gone your country has been led by mediocrities of the worst kind, with the exception of Thatcher. But Thatcher was tricked by Gorbachev, and everything has been on the downhill slide since she departed. Your country crawls with the KGB. The UK is one country that is likely to face a civil war in the next five years. I think it is a better than fifty percent chance. The future is full of uncertainty, of course, but the way your country has been abused, and is suppressed, is incredibly tragic.
One source claimed that all KGB espionage and subversive ops for Western Europe were directed from the Russian Embassy in London, that goes as far back as the times of Stalin etc. (of course Berlin and Vienna etc. plays its part in it too). Even the KGB penetration of the IRA in Ireland, that is of interest in the light what is going on over there now.
Why do the Russian communists have a special hatred for Britain?
Because perhaps the British Intel agencies got the KGB a very hard time before and moreover Russians hate the Brits because they are more organized and very thorough and would be tough fighters with a very well trained military, so that would be the reason – and of course the British Isles are hated by the communists for various other reasons, and Ireland for being (formerly now) very Catholic.
It was the leading capitalist and imperial power for a long time.
“We are easy to infiltrate.”
“American intelligence has never been able to keep their pants zipped. They compromise themselves at every opportunity.”
“…Jeffrey Epstein’s girls; and now we are shown that Epstein’s sex empire was a “KGB honeytrap” for harvesting kompromat” on celebrity Western businessmen and politicians…”
The book of Proverbs has many passages warning about the enticements of loose women. It’s not just Jeffrey Epstein, the Japanese sent out many female spies before World War II to work in brothels because sex tends to loosen lips. The CCP does the same today, e.g. Eric Swalwell and Fanfan. A Biblical example is Rahab in the city of Jericho who had information concerning the people of her area because of her job (Joshua 2).
‘Jobs Americans Won’t Do’: The Lie That Broke a Nation and the Economic and Social Devastation It Hid https://pjmedia.com/jamie-wilson/2025/11/20/the-lie-that-broke-a-nation-jobs-americans-wont-do-and-the-economic-and-social-devastation-it-hid-n4946215 This article is personal account of the unravelling of a local economy caused by illegal immigrants and the people who hire them. Jobs, as hard as they were, used to pay a decent wage so that local people took them. Today workers are paid slave wages. Local people leave to where wages are higher.
The myth of ‘jobs Americans won’t do’ https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/12/the_myth_of_jobs_americans_won_t_do.html A more nuanced version of the above.
“Migrant workers do jobs that Americans just don’t want to do” https://www.reddit.com/r/union/comments/1gvgu6h/migrant_workers_do_jobs_that_americans_just_dont/ The writer concludes that “They want an underclass to perform the hardest, lowest, paid, most brutal labour, instead of improving working conditions and wages.” and “…immigration is used as a tool to suppress wages.”
Anyone remember the song “16 Tons” with the refrain “I owe my soul to the company store”? The descendants of those who suffered that don’t want to return to it.
Another Biblical reference–James 5:1-6, especially verse 4 “The wages of those who work you fields you withhold…”
Some years back a film came out “Supersize Me” where the charge was made that food companies deliberately size their portions to sell more, and make people fat. Not only that, but ingredients are used that suppress the feeling of being full, again so that people eat more. A personal example is that the place where I buy hamburger patties sell them at 1/3 lb per patty–I divide those into halves or even into quarters because they are just too much.
These examples and more show that the problem of our country is first and foremost a breakdown of morality connected with an abandonment of Biblical teachings. There have always been pagans among our population, but have they not become the majority in our country? How many are “Sunday Christians” who are pagans the rest of the week?
A final Biblical reference in this post: Micah 6:8 “Set before you O man what is pleasing and what the LORD seeks from you, if not to do justice (this is judicial, societal justice משפט not just the personal doing right צדקה) and you love undeserved grace and acting quietly.” How many churches teach that today?
The underclass in America that used to perform all the difficult jobs were teenagers. I spent my youth working very menial and difficult jobs.
When I was a teenager, we lived near the border with Mexico. There were few job available for teens, as many of those jobs were taken by “wetbacks” or “mojados”. The border was wide open, only a dilapidated fence with many holes with tire tracks, and a little east the river was only about ankle deep. The main border control was some distance north where the mountains and desert closed in, no side roads, where effective screening could stop many illegals.
That was so long ago. Much has changed since then. And not for the better.
jeffrey nyquist in your vision do israel and the mossad know about the russian chinese plans to destroy the usa? jeffrey nyquist the european monarchies are they helping or harming russian and chinese interests? in your life as an Israel analyst and an obstacle for the Chinese Russians?
I am not an Israel analyst. I doubt Mossad knows anything on that level, but I do not see much from them.
Wonderfully written! You not only have an eloquent writing style, but you have many facts to support your arguments. Indeed, true conservatives are wondering what in the world is going on with Trump. His domestic policies are just as baffling as his foreign policy. He has caved on his duty to enforce immigration law against the street communists in Minnesota. This will only encourage more insurrection in other Blue states. He refuses to fight “Judicial Supremacism” in the courts when he should. He is giving Democrats what they want in budget bills which means more inflation not less, and he is not helping American workers with his support for more H1-B visas and Chinese students. I think 2026 may be the year when many of the MAGA faithful will start to realize that there is something seriously wrong with President Trump. BTW, I have all your books and highly recommend them!

Thank you John. You are very kind.

Trump keeps on doing his best to destroy old alliances.
US officials met several times with the separatist group Alberta Prosperity Project to discuss possible trade deals in case Alberta breaks away from Canada. There is currently a petition on independence underway; if it gets enough signatures a referendum on separation from Canada could be held this year. No commitments were made by the US officials, but even meeting with such a group looks extremely bad, as if the US is giving assistance to a separatist group in order to peel away the territory of an allied country. The group’s CEO is aware of the bad optics, and told the Trump admin to stay away from the independence movement because Trump is such a polarizing figure in Canada. But then why meet with the administration at all? To bolster support for separation by dangling a big, beautiful trade deal before the voters?
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2026/feb/5/donald-trump-officials-quietly-meet-canadian-separatist-group/?bt_ee=elW5F%2FWpfYjCSj2yKG%2FGvIa1lLL%2BLoWhLfUHVjpGCkyFmAMytYQttrxchHS4HR2g&bt_ts=1770408695777
Ever since the Conservatives lost the April 2025 election, the Canadian conservative outlet Rebel News has been pushing the independence movement a lot. They are very pro-Trump (to the tune of parroting the party line about Greenland), somewhat soft on Russia and not overly concerned with Ukraine or the NATO alliance. Make of that what you will, but it won’t be hard for people to imagine influence-peddling and foreign interference behind a pro-Trump outlet pushing for an outcome that would pave the way for the ‘51st state’ joke to become a reality.

Some background on the support for Alberta independence. The polling varies a lot, with around 20-30% saying they would vote for independence, but some of the support is very soft with a portion seeing it as about sending a message to Ottawa rather than really wanting separation.

It’s a bad look for America.
Jeff, I commend you for writing this series of essays. I’m sure you’ve caught grief for it from those who should know better. I know some people look at me differently and think I’m some sort of weakling, without understanding, or maybe even a leftist for not liking Trump and the things he does and says.
Speaking of crazy things he has said, perhaps one of the craziest and most telling is when he said that Netanyahu is a war hero, and then proceeded to say that he guesses he is too!
I mean telling as far as his delusional state of mind regarding himself.
Found it:

This grandiosity is a trait of narcissists. The sense of reality of narcissists is compromised. They do not see reality clearly.
He said that ? That was Netenyahu’s brother, not Bibi himself.
Amazing.
That is pretty grandiose.
Yes sir, it is.
Just to add – people will one day realize and recognize the truth, the problem is that when that happens, it may be too late, but they will recognize the truth one day (about Trump and the rest of them).
Yes he did. I remember hearing it when he said it.
A five time draft dodger now thinks of himself as a war hero… Crazy times
It is very delusional.
It looks like he didn’t want to go to Vietnam to have to kill his communist comrades he in fact agrees with, that is the reason why he, alongside Bill Clinton and so on, have not gone to Vietnam – at least and based on his now service to the communist cause (inaction in Venezuela, Iran, Cuba and Russia and China etc.) the alleged Krasnov, in his case it looks that way, because with him this is a long-time situation, and if there was only the blackmail angle, he would have at least tried to free himself from it somehow, but he’s in it up to his neck now.
Very interesting is the connection between the italian mafia and Russia. Many people in Italy say that Berlusconi was helped by the Mafia to build up its empire. So this means that behind Berlusconi there was Russia and this could explain a lot!
What do you mean it could explain a lot? Can you talk more about Berlusconi’s presidency and what he achieved?
Yes.

There is another angle to the Epstein case, even more sinister than anything seen before, but perhaps it will show how evil the KGB truly is, because there is a possibility (before some potential voices of “conspiracy theory” come about), that the KGB may have released the Epstein data to the FBI for Epstein to be caught on purpose, so that they can begin the demoralization scheme and entrap even more people in the Epstein fiasco, to discredit them and so on – and this wouldn’t be the first time they have done so, and so this is a real possibility that they may have done this on purpose, to get rid of Epstein because they already have enough compromising data on such people and to get the blackmail harvest into the KGB barn so to say…
The anthropological characterization for a man of petty stratagems is the “trickster” also known as deceiver, smart a$$. These people live in movies and entertainment, ie not real kings, but buffoon of king now usurping. The trickster always usurps a position when a demiurge is not watching, he molests women of their food production (a metaphore for sexual moleststion), lets domesticated animals run wild just to get one for himself, etc…
Not that the buffoon is not important to a tribe since the King’s privileges entails he provides for his tribe in entertainment and wisdom of tricksting, but this is a joke when it is used like a narcissist as a means to gain credit of ruling while not having to have to be burdened by it or be bothered by it.
Let us face it, in a real functioning society, Trump would indeed be tried and punished for acts of usurpation of a king and his responsibility while asleep, creating chaos. These can be cery dangerous people, and dangeous to themselves too. Trump is such a blowhard thst he thinks he can negotiate with people who have a posted reward for himself and his family. This kind of dissociative conditioning happens to those who survived somehow doing business in the city by trickstering and playing friend.
They have their use. A trickster can be used for his love of money and narcissism to do dangerous jobs he has no conscious of. He charges for work done, accounting and managing, but never seem too bothered about charging for the additional perk of exposure to great physical harm at times, feeling they are invincible in their trickstering or that somehow they are immune and people are not that bad. And the people they are around with are dangerous and of no value whatsoever, most of the time losers but who can easily be tricked to work for them in turn.
I don’t know, because between the anarchy of a senile and demoralized Biden giving away his autopen and letting his trickster wife run things, and this trickster’s inherent love of anarchy and creator of it, we are in a very bad place.
Of course, another trickster of the sort was Karl Marx, although he was a bit more aware of the authority of a king, what it entailed, and he had an idea about the capitalism tricksting. When Marx talks of contradiction, he really meant that he was envious of capitalists who, by tricksting and people’s lack of awareness to danger, held sway to do exactly that: to pay or motivate people for economic reasons, pay them reasonably well for that side of the job, but also sending them on dangerous missions and taking for granted their health or survival wits which should however warrant a higher level of compensation. People do not know hoe to sell themselves and the trickster knows that, and Marx knew that too.
The whole lecture about “you did not build that but peasants did” and the inane idiotic “work-man-value” are all kinds of bean counting idiocies that Marx goes into but which makes everyone miss the point: which is how to exploit this pool of available idiots and how to maintain them thus. In a nutshell, communism is to wish to have subservient idiots avalaible as zealous slaves and to create an ideology they can buy and invest themselves into blindly so that the resulting society will be auto-designed and auto-enforced by these idiots into the very ensnaring sought out in the first place. The ideology has nothing to do with a better society, sociology or the righting of the wrong and understanding the forgotten history or anthropology of the poor and the defeated or enslaved that the elites ignore.
For sure, that history is interesting or importsnt to know for intelligence sake, because no soceity should let a subsocoeth live in parallel like this without supervision, but like with Greek decadence, the mere act of interest and tricksting pretenses of mysteries and sciences that barbarians pretended they had, will invariably lead one into a social engineering of the self and others around to drop defenses and lose pride and let idiots usurp and diminish one’s esteem of one’s own heritage. There is danger indeed in genuine too charitable interest in the trickster.
Long story short, it would behove the trickster humbled itself a bit and realized that there is a program out there which has long been grooming him in preparation for such situation, a bit like Darth Vador, except Trump is no son of Darth like Skywalker, he is a disposable pile of foolishness. Does he realixe that when talking with Putin? He thinks Putin takes him seriously. Putin might be cautious, calculated and respect loose weapons like Trump, ut seriously as equal, not at all. Trump is a dime a dozen to them, just like Trump was a dime a dozen to all the virtual prostitutes he has had for wives before him, ie “just a man” they hate, or”just a man” as an expression of women who want to test each other if they are serious about their marriage or their man, to gauge the level of tiksting in thr culture or the neighborhood’s seriousness about matrimony while men are gone to work.
So, right now, all trump does is throw arrows for people to take cover, a little tactical suppression activity while he milks it around, but he is not clearing the skies of enemy missiles by doing an actual destructive interdiction of those, he just makes them huncker down and collects accolade like in a bar. It is so grotesque and evil indeed.
In fact, a real pathological schizophrenic, as opposed to this ethnic cuktural schizophrenia and fantasy of Trump’s narcissism, might have more valuable insight, so to speak. Voices like these should mot be suppressed but listened to and discussed with according to psychology, in order to see what they are trying to trick interlocutors and their possessed brokers with. There is a way to eventually negotiate with that, but a cultural disorder attaining critical mass is known to cause catastrophic societal breakdown at one point. The only sliver lining is that the enemy’s own society is just as dysfuncional.
Yes. Very interesting: Trump is a disposable pile of foolishness. But who will dispose of him?
