Making Moloch Great Again (Part 3 of 5)

“One time I was helping in the kitchen. I don’t know if the chef was [messing] … with me. I hope so, but he was separating what looked to me like the torso of a very young, skinned pig. It had been roasted and he was chopping it into quarters, the ribs to be served that evening and the rest broken down for soups and casseroles. I said jokingly that it looked like a little kid. He just gave me this awful dead-eyed look for a second and said, ‘watch it.’”

“I was sitting near the head of the body. Nihoul had begun cutting up the shoulders, asking who wanted a nice fleshy part, saying this was the best meat. As he was carving, I saw that a tooth fell out of the boy’s open mouth onto the tray…. Nihoul served me last: a chunk of thigh meat, grayish brown. He jokingly offered salt and pepper. I took the salt shaker and soused my plate with salt, tore off a piece of flesh, put it in my mouth and tried to swallow without chewing. Meanwhile, Nihoul kept jabbering, talking about the importance of chewing your food well for good digestion. I hurriedly ate everything off my plate without thinking. The meat was slightly rotten, but so overcooked I tried to focus on the burned taste.”

“The part which made me believe this child’s story, he talked about different babies being killed, but this particular one being stabbed, he curled up in a fetal position, he was 9 years old when he was telling the story. He curled up in a fetal position, and his eyes got real glazed, and he said, ‘They cooked that baby on the grill.’ And I thought, he has really flipped out. I mean, I didn’t know. And he said, ‘Oh, gross, it smelled like rotten chicken, or rotten deer.’”

In a book titled Hysteries, Elaine Showalter argued that mass hysteria recurs throughout history. As an influential feminist, literary critic, and an Ivy League professor, she cites religious fundamentalism as an underlying cause of “satanic panics.” She tends to see Christianity itself as a “moral panic,” producing a kind of “pre-millennial anxiety.” And given her ideological commitments, this is perfectly understandable. Of course, such panics have been documented, and it would be wrong to deny that such things happen, or that fundamentalists can get carried away (like anyone else); but then, Showalter believes that all allegations of ritual abuse are “confabulations.” In drawing this conclusion, she may have missed something. A literary critic who delves into social science, who comments on matters of fact, ought to know that in a world of several billion people there might be a black swan (i.e., an genuine instance of ritual satanic abuse). Even if we were to admit that all swans observed are white, there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of by feminist literature professors. We might ask Showalter, rhetorically, why rituals involving blood sacrifice would be so inconceivable when nearly every human society practiced such rites before the coming of Christianity? Even in the case of Christianity, Roman officials were concerned about the appearance of a cult in which members “ate the body” and “drank the blood” of their savior.[iii]

It would behoove Professor Showalter to consider, in fact, that Christianity is a religion of around 2.5 billion followers. The mysteries of Christianity, for both Protestants and Catholics, hold that Jesus offered himself as a definitive and literal blood sacrifice on the Cross. This is a core belief found in nearly all Christian denominations. In addition, Catholicism teaches the doctrine of transubstantiation, which says the Eucharist does not merely imitate the eating of Christ’s blood and body, but that the real blood and flesh of a living person (i.e., Jesus Christ) is consumed during the ritual for the purpose of acquiring spiritual grace.

Throughout the present discourse, the reader will be left in little doubt that ritual blood sacrifice is one of the oldest practices of mankind, going back to ages when nearly all nations were polytheistic (i.e., pagan). Secret cults, dangerous to civilized order, have appeared at intervals throughout history. Some of these cults were so wicked in their practices that they were stamped out with murderous efficiency by the state. Others crushed by the Church.

It may be the case, in this world of several billion people, that an Ivy League feminist is a protected person, not protected by a man as much as coddled by warped institutions that have become smug and stupid. The crisis of our civilization owes much to the undiscerning scientism of academics. The milieu of Professor Showalter cannot see past the liberal utopia they dream of. They cannot see to the heart of a deception, of an evil, that has been devouring us little by little for a very long time. It is my contention that the Epstein case is a marker, and no ordinary marker, pointing to clandestine operations of a criminal kind that are spiritually subverting our elite institutions. I submit that blackmail and perversion have been deployed as weapons by an enemy. This thesis would, no doubt, be denounced by Showalter as another instance of “moral panic.” She believes there never was a threat of communist subversion in the United States, as she makes clear in the last chapter of her book. Following a similar logic, she also refuses to believe that elite pedophile networks exist. Instead, she believes that allegations about these networks derive from “false memories” that result in “confabulations.” Since evidence for the existence of elite pedophile networks typically comes from people who have sought professional psychological help, Showalter blames psychotherapists even more than she blames religious fundamentalists. She cites The False Memory Syndrome Foundation in the United States and the False Memory Syndrome Society in the UK. These organizations are actively combatting psychologists who are helping patients recover suppressed memories of abuse.

It is curious that anyone familiar with the literature of psychology should obscure the fact of dissociation (i.e., memory loss) in childhood sexual abuse cases. Here is a political campaign, referred to by Showalter, organized to combat a major discovery of modern psychology. Please note: The work of Sigmund Freud’s contemporary, Pierre Janet, showed that childhood trauma can be so intense that it cannot be integrated by the mind. Instead of the abuse being remembered, the memory of the abuse is “split off” or dissociated. Janet discovered that these dissociated memories do not disappear; rather, they become “fixed ideas” that live in a secondary part of the mind, subsequently manifesting as physical symptoms (like hysterical paralysis, chronic pain, or tics). Dissociation can also manifest in the form of alternate personalities. Janet found that traumatic memories could be “triggered” by certain sounds or smells. According to Janet, victims of childhood abuse often develop what he called “phobia of memory,” where the mind suffers from a reflexive fear of its own past. What is significant, in respect of the psychological profession, is the discovery during the 1980s, by large numbers of psychologists, of a rising tide of sexual and physical abuse. In 1986 there was a meeting of the International Conference on Multiple Personality/Dissociation in Chicago. Psychotherapists were then worried because 25 percent of their Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) patients were describing memories of torture and abuse in secret satanic cults. According to Showalter,

“By 1989, George Ganaway, director of the Center for Dissociative Studies at the University of Georgia, disclosed that almost half the patients in his clinic and elsewhere were ‘reporting vividly detailed memories of cannibalistic revels and extensive experiences such as being used by cults during adolescence as serial baby breeders for ritual sacrifices.”[iv]

Many therapists believed in the testimony of their patients, though some expressed skepticism. A split developed. The psychiatric profession found itself divided. As we see from Showalter’s documentation, these reports of satanic ritual abuse were not coming from one country, or one region within the United States. Reports of ritual satanic abuse were coming from many places. And the stories were identical. How could patients in different places, speaking different languages, simultaneously come up with the same set of stories? Showalter suggested that American therapists contaminated therapists in other countries with what they allegedly discovered. Showalter argued that children and adults reporting satanic abuse were confabulating. She wrote, “As witch-hunters’ accusations became wilder and wilder, as courts rejected lawsuit after lawsuit for lack of evidence, many therapists became uneasy. Years of lawsuits and intensive investigations have unearthed no proof that these satanic cults even exist.”[v]

In this matter we must be careful. False claims of abuse undoubtedly will arise. But the explanation Showalter offers is weak. Lack of evidence in a courtroom process, in a situation where evidence would be difficult to acquire, should not be surprising. Add to this the possibility that a cult network might have already extended its tentacles to the police and court system. In fact, you have two problems: (1) the unbelievable assertion that a pedophile-connected conspiracy exists within the criminal justice system; and (2) a negative reaction within the system to the allegations (whether the allegations are true or false).

It is only a matter of time before the system itself, annoyed at this rising “hysteria” of satanic abuse claims, criminalizes the accusations themselves. As we remember from the Pizzagate controversy, many commentators were deplatformed for suggesting the existence of an elite pedophile ring in Washington, D.C. The barons of social media put a lid on this. And there has been, for many years, an ongoing campaign to criminalize those who accuse others of satanic ritual abuse. There is even legislation under consideration to sanction therapists who recover certain memories from dissociated patients. According to Showalter:

“The False Memory Foundation wants to regulate the practice of psychotherapy through a Mental Health Consumer Protection Act, which would require the patient’s informed consent, prohibit insurance funding for questionable or unproved treatments, criminalize false accusations of abuse, ban memory recovery and enhancement as courtroom evidence, and create a Model Licensing Act. They believe that the law should require psychotherapists to keep records, carry malpractice insurance, and be liable for several years after the treatment.”[vi]

Before we see what lurks behind all this, we must again acknowledge that there are irresponsible therapists using unethical methods to “recover memories.” But when we put a magnifying glass on the False Memory Foundation we come up with some disturbing details. For example, leading researchers for the False Memory Foundation, Paul and Shirley Eberle, were previously publishers of pornography.[vii] Their publications were called Finger and L.A. Star. In 1972 they also wrote an illustrated book for children titled, The Adventures of Mrs. Pussycat. Of special interest, given the Epstein revelations, they published a book on the McMartin preschool trial of the 1980s which Alan Dershowitz (named in the Epstein files) praised as “a wakeup call to those who believe that prosecutors and their experts can be trusted to do justice in the emotional context of child abuse.”[viii] As a chilling afterthought, the wife of a McMartin preschool victim wrote in a Wikipedia article:

“It kills me to hear people call this trial a hoax. My husband is a survivor of the damage that these people wrought. It has touched every aspect of his life, and as I watch him struggle I know in my heart the accusations of abuse were indeed true. ‘It wasn’t some satanic ritual like these articles keep saying,’ he told me after reading a case history I was pursuing. ‘It was just a sick man getting drunk and doing terrible things to children. By the time it got to court the media had turned it into such a circus that even if they did do it, they’d never be convicted.’”[ix]

Why did the media, otherwise so careful, turn this case into a circus? The way this played out makes very little sense. But if you had a case of this kind, and there was a real satanic cult, maybe you want to muddy the waters. One angry researcher, on the same thread, wrote, “Who, in God’s name, are the people who fight so hard to try and debunk those of us who come here to try and present evidence and the facts?”

Is there an ongoing information war over pedophilia that carries over to satanic ritual abuse? Showalter says that confabulation is a technical term “for narratives or memories constructed dialogically between client and therapist” that “cannot be distinguished from truth on the basis of internal evidence alone.”[x] How easy, then, it would be to pile absurdities onto a simple case of pedophilia, bringing ridicule not only to the subject of child sexual abuse, but on the idea that satanic abuse takes place anywhere. There is, indeed, in ongoing information war surrounding the sexual abuse of children. And in some cases, we find that those who are attacking the reliability of recovered memories in child abuse cases are themselves pedophiles!

Adding more fuel to the fire, the founder of the False Memory Foundation, Ralph Underwager, wrote something rather strange in the Dutch pro-pedophilia journal Paidika. He suggested, “Pedophiles can be bold and courageously affirm what they choose … I am also a theologian and as a theologian, I believe it is God’s will that there be closeness and intimacy, unity of flesh, between people….” Underwager was asked to step down from the False Memory Foundation when he refused to disavow this statement.[xi]

It seems clear that pedophiles are afraid of recovered memories. They want to make life difficult for therapists who help victims remember who victimized them. They are actually lobbying to pass laws criminalizing those who would expose pedophiles. And yet, the False Memory Foundation is taken seriously by Professor Showalter, who sees millennial madness and fundamentalism behind it all. Too many therapists are, she suggested, eliciting false memories from patients. According to Showalter, “In a supportive cultural environment … hysterical syndromes multiply as they interact with social forces such as religious beliefs, political agendas, and rumor panics.”[xii] In her eyes, mass hysteria becomes especially dangerous when it involves traditional enemies or scapegoat groups. “The longer the epidemic [i.e., hysterical delusion] continues, the greater the participants’ need to believe it is genuine,” she noted. The chain of belief, once entrenched, is hard to break as each wave of publicity adds to the mounting hysteria.

According to Showalter, anorexia and bulimia are examples of modern hysterical epidemics; so are claims of alien abduction, chronic fatigue syndrome, satanic ritual abuse, recovered childhood memories, gulf war syndrome, and multiple personality disorder [MPD]. But then, as we read on, Showalter fails to properly define hysteria. She thrashes about, rolling through an ever-changing number of definitions. Furthermore, she does not say where mass hallucinations or delusions come from. Is it malice or madness? To get out of her difficulties she points to historian Richard Hofstadter’s “The Paranoid Style in American Politics” because Hofstadter uses the word “paranoid,” even though Hofstadter was a historian rather than a clinician. The atheist or agnostic liberal, in this instance, identifies anticommunism or anti-Satanism with an irrational faith in God and, more significantly, a paranoid belief in the existence of the Devil. This must be a mental illness, says the feminist literary critic under her breath. It never occurs to her, as it never occurred to Hofstadter, that Devil worshippers, or occultists, or child traffickers, or communists, or witches, might exist.

It was Fedor Dostoevsky who suggested that people like Showalter and Hofstadter are dangerous fools. Dostoevsky thought that disbelief in the existence of the Devil signified naivete about the depths of human evil. The soul is center stage in life’s drama, and the soul’s landscape is about good and evil, right and wrong. In Dostoevsky, this is passionately portrayed. To believe in God without acknowledging the Devil makes moral choice meaningless. It is to embrace a kind of nihilism – the nihilism Dostoevsky bore witness against. “Dostoevsky took [his] … shocking revelations about man’s nature for granted,” wrote William Hubben. “Man was corrupt, but there was infinitely more to say: he was also capable of greatness and even saintliness.”[xiii] Elaine

Showalter and Richard Hofstadter will never see any genuine saintliness or heroism in man because their philosophy will not recognize evil. Instead, they quote Arthur Miller and wax eloquent about his play – The Crucible – where the Salem witch trials of 1692 serve as an allegory for McCarthyism. The old liberal shibboleths remain as dull and smug as ever. These academics will never admit that McCarthy’s imperfections were exaggerated; that they themselves have committed every offence attributed to McCarthy. Who, indeed, in all this talk of witch-hunts and “satanic panics” were busy destroying the reputation of Senator McCarthy? Who was blacklisted and who were the blacklisters? And why, in a book about hysteria, did a feminist like Showalter dismiss the testimony of so many women, raping them again with the hard tool of her gynocritical psychologizing? If she had wanted the truth, she should have turned to Dostoevsky, who prophetically wrote in the 1860s that socialism would kill 100 million Russians in the twentieth century; and who wrote a novel alternately translated into English as The Possessed (or, The Devils) – a book that has been called his “greatest onslaught on Nihilism.”[xiv]

In her chapter on satanic ritual abuse, Showalter is not embarrassed by her refusal to meet with Dr. Valerie Sinason, the most distinguished advocate of satanic ritual abuse in the United Kingdom. Sinason was a psychotherapist at the Tavistock Clinic, who edited a book titled Treating Survivors of Satanist Sexual Abuse. But Showalter says this is ridiculous. Even Wikipedia says that ritual satanic abuse is a “moral panic consisting of over 12,000 unsubstantiated cases.” But then, if you have 12,000 witnesses to something, how do you claim it is “unsubstantiated”? How do you justify the claim that 12,000 witnesses are confabulating?

It seems that Showalter follows the method of those “academics” who, in 1800, refused to believe the testimony of thousands of peasants who said rocks fall from the sky. It is hardly surprising that meteorites refused to cooperate by falling directly on universities. Instead, meteorites fell on peasant fields, and the peasants who reported this falling of rocks from the sky, were disbelieved. How absurd and ignorant, said the scientists. Silly peasants. Everyone knows that rocks cannot fall from the sky. But then, in 1803, following a massive meteorite shower in L’Aigle, France, Jean-Baptiste Biot found that rocks did, indeed, fall from the sky.

For many decades, especially in the 1920s through the mid-1950s, the existence of the Mafia was officially denied by U.S. law enforcement, especially by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. It did not matter what people reported on the street. In those days, for the FBI, the Mafia was a myth. And so, today, our Ivy League feminists tell us that satanic ritual abuse is a myth, despite 12,000 reported cases. Satan-worshippers simply do not exist. And yet, one shudders to think that rocks falling from the sky might have been written off as a form of hysteria that gripped peasants, or that the Mafia was a “moral panic.”

One purpose of Showalter’s book was to dismiss ritual abuse. What is her motive? We may suspect that “religious fundamentalism” has become her Devil. “Child molesters, pornographers, and child sex rings exemplify real abuse that has no documented connection to satanism,” says Showalter. How, then, does she explain the views of Dr. Sinason? Obviously, says Showalter, Sinason persists in her absurdities because it “would be more than awkward for her to back down.” Unfortunately, the same argument may be applied to Dr. Showalter; though we wonder, at some point in the future, whether she might be compelled to eat humble pie; for what, after all, was this temple on Epstein’s island? or Epstein’s demonic statuettes? or that crystal ball on the stairs of Epstein’s New York residence? How does she explain that the Epstein files reflect the claims of Sinason’s patients, with victims suffering at the hands of “elite and super-rich” perpetrators?

Are we hallucinating when we see references, in Jeffrey Epstein’s correspondence, to pics of nine and ten-year-old girls, or to “torture videos”? We find, in Epstein’s emails, evidence that he was paying parapsychologists to run experiments, making mention of “taboo science” and “wacko” scientists, like Rupert Sheldrake. If the FBI is glossing over 100 witnesses in the Epstein case, Showalter glosses over 12,000 witnesses who are said to be “confabulating” or dredging up “false memories”? Are we to say, with Showalter, that there is nothing to any of this? Are we all victims of a “moral panic”? Or are we opposed in principle to recognizing the existence of evil? – in Dostoevsky’s sense.

Showalter claims there is no forensic evidence for ritual abuse. But then, there is the case of Marc Dutroux, in 1996.

Here we find something that is undeniably “forensic.” Let us, out of respect, name the victims: Julie Lejeune and Melissa Russo, both eight-years-old, found buried in the garden of Dutroux’s accomplice, Bernard Weinstein. Adding to the carnage, Mr. Weinstein’s body was also buried in the garden. Two other girls, Sabine Dardenne (12), and Laetitia Delhez (14), were rescued alive from a secret dungeon. Witnesses and victims’ families told police that Dutroux was part of a pedophile ring that was bound to a satanic cult connected to a self-styled “Institute of Black Magic,” based near Charleroi. A letter was found at Mr. Weinstein’s house which said the group needed to procure victims for use by their High Priestess. The site of the group’s temple was raided by police. The police found human skulls and jars of animal blood. There were several other witnesses who named more than thirty victims who were allegedly murdered. These turned out to be children that had gone missing. And there the trail ended because the police decided that enough was enough.

There is your forensic evidence, backed by testimony. Was Marc Dutroux a Satanist or shall we present the Institute of Black Magic as non-satanic? There were many potential witnesses in this case. Some were undoubtedly terrified into silence. In fact, some were murdered – like Christine Van Hees, Katrien De Cuyper, and Carine Dellaert.[xv] Régina Louf (witness X1) told police she had watched rituals involving sadism, torture, rape, murder, and blackmail. She even admitted to committing murders because the network had ordered her to carry them out on pain of death. Everything was connected to big business and government, she said. Even the police were compromised. She testified to satanic ceremonies involving children. She identified Marc Dutroux and Michel Nihoul as perpetrators. Nihoul was a Belgian businessman and radio host known for organizing “sex parties” at various castles, which included high-ranking VIPs, government officials, and police. Dutroux said that Nihoul was connected to a “powerful international network of pedophiles.” This admission was explosive at the time, and not unlike the Epstein revelations. What, then, happened? Did the police follow through on their leads? The police, who were implicated by the testimony of Dutroux and Louf, claimed that Régina Louf’s testimony was not credible. Belgium was convulsed by this case, and Dutroux was convicted. But his powerful friend, Nihoul, was acquitted. Researcher Philip Fairbanks, laying out the Dutroux case in his Pedogate Primer, tells us that the Belgian police destroyed evidence and dragged their feet. Consider, as well, that it took nearly 8 years to convict Dutroux (even though the evidence against him was indisputable). After 29 businessmen were named as part of the network, noted Fairbanks, “[Thirty] witnesses died under mysterious circumstances before being able to testify. DNA tests and hair samples disappeared and other evidence was ignored or destroyed….” All crimes, in this case, were pinned on Marc Dutroux. It is worth noting that Dutroux’s wife, who had helped him kidnap girls in the 1980s, had been an elementary school teacher.[xvi]

A large stone statue stands in a barren landscape with chains in the foreground, under a dramatic sky at dusk.

If thirty potential witnesses die, against all odds, how many willing witnesses are left? It is important to add that Dutroux’s own mother tried to turn him into the police some years earlier. But the police were not interested in arresting him. Why? Others had reported Dutroux to the police. Again, nothing was done. This is the same pattern we find with Jeffrey Epstein and the Franklin coverup in Nebraska. Much is known in advance by many, though nobody does anything.

It seems we are looking at a pattern. For years the witnesses are disbelieved, ignored, threatened, or bought off. In some cases, the witnesses are discredited or the investigation muddied with injections of false information, exaggeration, wild rumors (i.e., McMartin preschool trial). In some cases the weight of evidence forces the system to press charges. The case is narrowly construed so that the blame is placed on one or two people who take the fall for the larger network. End of story. The newspapers and media either exaggerate or mitigate the magnitude of what is reported.

Consider the present situation, when nobody can deny the extensive nature of Epstein pedophile network. Important people have been implicated, but their identities are nonetheless protected by the state. Why? We learn of rich and powerful people participating in sex parties with underage girls. The public becomes aroused. The government and FBI try to put a lid on it, close the case, mask the names of perpetrators. There is complexity here, and many elements to the story.

Elite opinion, erupting out of the Ivy League and the New York Times, will sneer. They hate Donald Trump and would like to see him hang. But the accuser’s finger points in more than one direction. And now, we must give this Devil his due. It will therefore not be long before we hear the following question: Should it be a crime to sleep with a 17-year-old girl? That is, after all, what Epstein was convicted of. They will forget that this was a plea deal. They will ignore all the other evidence and concentrate on this. Let us not dwell on stories of torture and rape, of blackmail and hints of cannibalism, temples, or demonic statuettes. Whole articles were written about Dutroux without mentioning the “institute for black magic,” or the name of the satanic group that was whispered in those days throughout Belgium. Who will, in the end, remember that Epstein financed parapsychologists, that Epstein had a temple and a refrigerator full of “jerky”?[xvii]

It must be admitted that the imagination can run away with itself. People have believed in things that are untrue, especially where superstition has taken hold. There are mind viruses that cause epidemics; and we should not kid ourselves about people taking rumor or speculation as fact. Conspiracy theories, antisemitism, and witch-hunting, have led to untold loss of life. In moral panics, thousands of innocent lives can be lost. But then, we must remind ourselves that ritual abuse has claimed many victims in recorded history. Ritual human sacrifice was practiced by Scandinavians, Etrurians, Aztecs, Mayans, Incas, Shang Dynasty Chinese, Scythians, Celts, Carthaginians, and early Egyptians. Ritual human sacrifice often involves heart extraction, decapitation, burying alive, drowning or burning. The reason for such sacrifices was, in most cases, to satisfy bloodthirsty deities whose supernatural powers could be tapped to assure good harvests or success in war.

Readers should also be reminded that ritual animal sacrifice was practiced by nearly all nations from before 3500 BC to the late Roman period. Animals favored for sacrifice included bulls, sheep, pigs, dogs, goats, horses and llamas. Thousands of animals were sometimes sacrificed at one time. Today, animal sacrifice is practiced by Hindus and Muslims and by Afro-Caribbean faiths like Santeria and Voodoo. It was the advent of Christianity, more than anything, that reduced the practice of animal sacrifice worldwide. And all throughout, even those societies that did not prefer human sacrifice, believed in its efficacy and occasionally practiced it.[xviii]

In Prescott’s famous history of Mexico and Peru we see that ritual blood sacrifice, especially the slaughtering of human beings, was regularly practiced in Mexico during the century before the coming of the Spanish. Prescott says in a footnote, based on the testimony of Bishop Zumarraga, who lived in Mexico shortly after the conquest, that 20,000 victims “were yearly slaughtered” in the Aztec capital. The number of those sacrificed are disputed today, especially by scholars who want to rehabilitate the reputation of Aztec culture; yet even the most conservative estimates suggest that thousands were sacrificed annually. Prescott describes a famous instance of Aztec ritual human sacrifice as follows:  

“At the dedication of the great temple of Huitzilopotochli, in 1486, the prisoners, who for some years have been reserved for the purpose, were drawn from all quarters to the capital. They were ranged in files, forming a procession nearly two miles long. The ceremony consumed several days, and seventy thousand captives are said to have perished at the shrine of this terrible deity!”[xix]

What did the Aztecs imagine this was for? What could have prompted them to such a grizzly spectacle? We should avoid the presumption that the Aztecs were irrational, superstitious, or psychotic. What psychic mechanism turned the Aztecs into a mass murdering nation of Moloch-worshippers? There is a lot of work in slaughtering human beings. There is the work of capturing or persuading people to go along. There is the work of chopping them up and eating some of their body parts, mounting their severed heads on racks, and dealing with their angry relatives. Why go to the trouble? This cries out for an explanation.

By some accounts, ritual sacrifice and ritual cannibalism is about “nourishing” the sun god in his battle against eternal darkness. Yet the “nourishing” of this “god” is more than a little sinister. The Incas, in their turn, preferred to sacrifice children because children are pure and innocent. What kind of “sun god” eats babies? I wrack my brain to understand why any sensible king would suggest baby-sacrifices as part of the state religion; or why people would go along with it. We assume, when explaining all this, that these “gods” are imaginary beings. But maybe we are dead wrong. Some physicists believe there are other dimensions. Perhaps there are intelligent beings in those other dimensions – beings that like to feed.

This idea is affirmed by the clinical experience of three psychologists (Jerry Marzinsky, Sherry Swiney, and Wilson Van Dusen) who claim that schizophrenia is caused by vampiric entities who are “not of this world.” According to Marzinsky, the voices heard by schizophrenics generate “an enormous amount of negative emotional energy from their victims by … bringing to mind memories of past unhealed trauma. They would dig up vexing memories of incidents long forgotten with devastating effect.”[xx]

Are there intelligences, extradimensional in origin, that derive pleasure or power from tormenting innocent victims? Is there a molester inside every molester? “The voices are consummate liars,” noted Marzinsky; “they will tell any lie, or bend perception, to produce the most negative, emotionally wrenching interpretation. They are constantly in search of information coming from the environment that will inflame a patient’s unhealed traumas….”[xxi]

Did Jeffrey Epstein induce trauma in his victims because something wicked had infected his soul? There is no corroborated testimony of “satanic” rituals in the Jeffrey Epstein case, though some observers might argue that Epstein’s funding of parapsychologists like Dean Radin and Rupert Sheldrake imply a satanic agenda. In hankering after “wacko” scientists in areas of “taboo science,” Epstein begins to resemble Heinrich Faust from Goethe’s tragic play. And this much is relatable. Black magic is central to the plot line of Faust, who conjures a devil named Mephistopheles; and Faust resembles Epstein. Magic, in this sense, is all about cheating; and that was Epstein’s forte – his chief mode of interacting. Like Faust, he destroys the life of an innocent woman (or women). He craved power and knowledge. Survivor Jennifer Araoz said, “This evil man had no remorse or caring for what he did to anyone.” Linda Gates called him “the personification of evil.”[xxii]

Epstein believed himself to be “special.” He brought the biologist Rupert Sheldrake to Zorro Ranch so he could discover the magic power of touching at a distance by directing his to a targeted person. He was fascinated by British neuropsychiatrist Peter Fenwick’s studies on near-death experiences. Both these scientists suggested that the mind could project itself outside of the body. Nothing was out-of-bounds for Epstein. Heinrich Faust did not fear the Devil either. He was unafraid of the madness that comes by playing with devils. Indeed, Epstein wanted to acquire psychic powers and began a correspondence with Dr. Jeffrey Martin, found of the “Finder’s Course.” In a 2017 email, Martin made a request for legal age slave girls “of my own choosing.” For the price of $10 million he offered to give Epstein specific “weird” spiritual peak experiences, also known as Persistent Non-Symbolic Experiences (PNSE), leading to advanced states of consciousness. Epstein was clearly interested, though the Epstein documents do not show whether he paid the $10 million. Also, Epstein was interested in people with psychic abilities, and he was interested in vulnerable people with these abilities. “I view nothing as out of bounds,” he explained. Here is the very image of Goethe’s Faust.

As an intriguing aside, Goethe’s Faust was influenced by the writings of scientist and mystic Emanuel Swedenborg, who was the inspiration of Wilson Van Dusen and Jerry Marzinsky’s treatments for patients who hear voices. The architecture of the modern mind, as depicted in Goethe’s Faust, was described using occult and supernatural images drawn from Swedenborg. In fact, Goethe became interested in Swedenborg through his mentor, Fraülein von Klettenberg, in Frankfurt. The structure of the afterlife depicted in the final scene of Faust Part II closely resembles Swedenborg’s depiction in Heaven and Hell. Goethe shared Swedenborg’s opposition to literalism and emphasis on “correspondence” – the idea that the natural world is the physical manifestation of a higher spiritual reality. The linkages here are meaningful, while the degradation of Faust, like the degradation of Epstein, offers an unsettling parallel and testament to an ongoing process of modernity’s Mephistophelian course.  

The psychologists – Van Dusen, Marzinsky, and Swiney – underscore something that pedophiles and black magicians knew thousands of years ago; namely, that traumatizing children is a method for summoning and perhaps interacting with powers and principalities; a tool for controlling presidents and prime ministers; a source of secrets and a passage to a Faustian mastery of the universe. “Present day psychosis always involves some degree of self pride,” wrote Dr. Wilson Van Dusen in a book on Swedenborg. This spiritual madness, he added, leads to obsession and possession. If the barrier that separates us from evil is ever compromised, then a “man would be in grave danger for his mental health, and even for his life. If evil spirits knew they were with [a] man, they would do all sorts of things to torment him and destroy his life.”[xxiii]

Van Dusen and his colleagues tested the theory that the voices heard by schizophrenic patients are independent of the patients. They effected cures where drugs and traditional psychiatry could only mask symptoms. Their inspiration in using this method was, of course, Emanual Swedenborg, who wrote, “The nature of evil spirits is such that the more innocent a person is, the greater is their ardor to inflict harm upon him.”[xxiv] In his book, The Presence of Other Worlds: The Psychological Findings of Emanuel Swedenborg, Van Dusen embraces Swedenborg’s theory that spiritual influences surround us at all times. Van Dusen was forced to conclude that patients who hear voices are, indeed, afflicted by demons. He took this very seriously when he wrote,

“We are mostly unconscious of the other spiritual worlds. It is meant to be that way, for it is very dangerous when these worlds are opened up to a person, just as Swedenborg said. He did not advocate that anyone try to follow him.”

A shadowy figure resembling a demon stands in a dimly lit room with a candle flickering on a desk. The background features a bookcase filled with books, creating a mysterious and eerie atmosphere.

In a book titled Heaven and Hell, Swedenborg said there were good spirits, or Angels, who are full of love; and demons or “Satans,” who choose a life of cruelty and gravitate toward hell. Swedenborg postulated the existence of a “spiritual homeostasis” which is maintained between heaven and hell, preserving human free will on Earth by balancing the influences of good and evil.[xxv] Van Dusen explained,

“Both Swedenborg and medieval literature spoke of the aim of spirits to possess and control some part of a patient’s body. Parts involved in my observations have been the ear, eye, tongue, and genitals. Medieval literature speaks of intercourse between a person and his or her possessing spirit, giving these spirits the names ‘incubi’ and ‘succubi,’ depending on their sex. One female patient described her sexual relations with her male spirit as both more pleasurable and more inward than normal intercourse.”[xxvi]

Swedenborg wrote extensively on the relationship between spirits and sexual obsession, giving a detailed analysis in a 1768 book titled Conjugal Love, which contrasted the “pleasures of insanity” with the “delights of wisdom.” He claimed that evil spirits can “feed” perverse inclinations, amplifying obsessions. While outright demonic possession is rare, internal dominance by evil spirits is more common as demons actuate their own lust through human victims. Malevolent spirits will exploit a person’s desire to indulge in unhealthy activities, ultimately destroying the person from within. Swedenborg called this “scortatory love,” which he described as a type of insanity involving cycles of passionate courtship, jealousy, love, and hatred. Forbidden sexual activities (adultery and perversion) violate what Swedenborg saw as the union of “goodness and truth” within the soul.

An evil spirit, lusting for the blood of innocent victims, burrows its way into the psyche of the pedophile and torturer. Persons who descend into ritual human sacrifice, noted Swedenborg, are engaged in a “profanation” rather than a valid religious act. Swedenborg further stated that anyone harming children would, without question, draw the attention of demons (if demons were not already present and active). It was, he added, our inner intentions that determined the spiritual influences around us. In hell, he explained, there were societies whose “most intense pleasure” is to punish, torment, and inflict pain. Engaging in activities which harm the innocent will align a person with evil. Swedenborg held that children were special in this context, on account of their innocence. He also said that children were protected by angels; that the person who repeatedly attacks and harms children would end up in hell.  

Catholic exorcists and demonologists have long warned that exploitation of the innocent can create “doorways” or spiritual opening for demonic influence. Grave sins include sexual abuse and murder, which are seen as a rejection of God’s order. Such sins invite demonic infestation, oppression, and possession. A pedophile ring, in this context, would be the ultimate portal to hell.[xxvii]

All ancient societies had some knowledge of these things. The ancient Romans, though they were pagans, conducted rituals to expel evil spirits. They employed purifying torches, lustral water, and a “sweeping ceremony” using sheepfolds. Under the Republic, the Romans passed laws against the use of magic for private, malevolent purposes. The earliest Roman legal code was The Twelve Tablets (450 BC), which forbade the casting of harmful spells. In 81 BC the Lex Cornelia de sicariis et veneficiis, forbade “evil rites” and “sorcery.”

Related to all this, there was a “satanic panic” recorded under the Roman Republic in 186 BC. The leading Roman historian of antiquity, Titus Livius, did not think it was a case of superstitious hysteria. He reported the event as something very serious which was handled responsibly by Rome’s magistrates. A Roman consul discovered a subversive cult during his term of office. His investigation showed that rape and murder were among the cult’s initiatory rites. The chief witness was terrified to tell the truth, fearing for her life. The leading consul of that year, Spurius Postumius, called it a Bacchic cult. Initiation into the cult involved an oath to do evil. Titus Livius said this cult spread “like a plague” throughout Italy. When the Roman government declared this cult illegal, thousands fled Rome so that the city was partially depopulated. Livius puts the following speech into the mouth of the Consul Spurius Postumius:

“Unless you are on your guard, Citizens of Rome, this present meeting, held in the daylight, legally summoned by a consul, can be paralleled by another meeting held in the night. Now, as individuals they are afraid of you, as you stand assembled in a united body; but presently, when you have scattered to your houses in the city or to your homes in the country, they will have assembled, and will be making plans for their own safety and at the same time for your destruction; and then you as individuals, will have to fear them as a united body. That is why each one of you ought to hope that all those whom you care for may be of sound mind. If lust, if madness, has snatched off any of them into that whirlpool, then the person concerned should deem such a one to belong not to himself but to those with whom he has conspired to commit every kind of wrongdoing and crime.”[xxviii]

The consul offered a warning to the people of Rome “so that no superstitious fear may agitate your minds when you observe us suppressing the Bacchanalia and breaking up these criminal gatherings. All this we shall do,” he promised. It seems that Postumius was aware of the dangers attending a “moral panic.” He did not want the Roman people to be filled with “superstitious fear.” He wanted everyone to act with care and caution.

This episode from Roman history shows that nothing is new, everything has happened before. What we call “ritual abuse” or “satanic cults” existed before the birth of Christ. Ancient politicians actively suppressed these illicit sex cults. They believed this kind of activity was a danger to society. Today we deny that such things take place. Few would publicly call for the suppression of sexually licentious cults. As with the Franklin coverup in Nebraska, and the Dutroux case in Belgium, authorities are quick to cover the tracks of powerful perpetrators. Were the ancient authorities stupid in acting against such things? Or did they preserve their society against disaster? Everything we know about political stability suggests that this kind of activity, if allowed to infect a society’s elite strata, could take the whole system down. In this context, it would be nice to know if MAGA is actually MMGA – Make Moloch Great Again; For the leaders of MAGA appear to be avoiding the issue. The communists and the Russians, the Chinese and the Iranians, will exploit the Epstein affair. They are already saying that capitalism coincides with a “Satanic elite.” At long last, said Alexander Dugin in a recent X posting, “the right and the left can unite to overthrow capitalism.”

Epstein’s pedophile ring is a cult equivalent. For all we know it has interlocking ties with the Belgian ring connected to Marc Dutroux. It may not be satanic in a literal sense, yet if we employ Swedenborg’s non-literal methodology we cannot deny that Epstein’s character was of the Devil. Those who saw Steve Bannon’s videotaped interview with Jeffrey Epstein may remember a peculiar question that Bannon asked: “Do you think you’re the Devil himself?” Epstein seemed a little confused or even nonplussed by this question, so that Bannon asked again, explaining that the Devil had good attributes, such as being “incredibly smart” and “brilliant.”

Sorry – Say what?  

We know that Jeffrey Epstein was trafficking underage girls to powerful men even as his residences had video cameras in every room – even in the bathrooms. And yet, with important people using those bathrooms, the U.S. Government has not dealt with the problem in a forthright manner (as seen in Pam Bondi’s testimony before Congress two weeks ago). Clearly, this is not a case of “satanic panic.” Quite the opposite. The country’s concern about child trafficking in high places is not hysteria, whatever Showalter’s literary criticism suggests. People want answers and they are fed up.

It is a desperate situation. We have a confluence of espionage, child trafficking, blackmail, insider trading, and weird science. Is the investigation over? Epstein was, at one time, a close friend of the current U.S. president, and a good friend of a former president. Hillary Clinton: “I don’t remember meeting him.” Bill Clinton: “I saw nothing…. I did nothing wrong.” Donald Trump: “The Epstein files exonerate me.” These answers are clever. “I don’t remember” does not mean Hillary did not meet him. “I saw nothing” from the man who “did not have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky,” is what? “The Epstein files exonerate me,” says Donald Trump. But where, dear Donald, are the FBI 302’s that were withheld by the DOJ (linking you to crimes)?

It is the most serious scandal in the history of the United States. It is a scandal involving two presidents, a former secretary of state, a commerce secretary, a senator, scientists, billionaires, celebrity lawyers, European royalty from two countries, an Israeli prime minister, a former Norwegian prime minister who was hospitalized a few days ago after a suicide attempt. And the Department of Justice withholds 2.5 million pages of evidence. If this does not leave you sitting bolt upright, then nothing will ever wake you from your slumbers. New Mexico’s Commissioner of Public Lands Stephanie Garcia Richard has, “called on federal and state law enforcement to investigate allegations that two girls were buried in the hills surrounding sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch.”[xxix]

Where there are two bodies there are many. Anyone who has spent time researching these pedophile rings knows that many murders happen. Not just murders in snuff-videos, but murders to silence witnesses, to kill people who know too much. What is most disturbing, perhaps, is when we look at Epstein’s lawyers: Allen Dershowitz and Kenneth Starr. Readers will forgive this digression; but given Starr’s epic failure to bring President Bill Clinton to justice in the 1990s, we wonder why Starr is showing up in the Epstein mix. Such a cozy pack of elite politicians and lawyers! Everyone is covering for everyone. Instead of getting proof of Clinton’s real crimes, Starr focused on the Monica Lewinsky affair. This proved to be the ultimate diversionary sideshow that succeeded in keeping Bill and Hillary Clinton out of prison. In fact, that is what Judicial Watch’s Larry Klayman told me some years ago when I interviewed him. It was known to many investigators at the time that the Clintons were selling secrets to China. Then there was the strange death of White House Council Vince Foster, and the 45-caliber bullet hole in Commerce Secretary Ron Brown’s head. Each case was covered up. No one was held accountable. Is it possible that Ken Starr, playing the role of prosecutor, was making sure the prosecution went the wrong way? Perhaps, having heard all this from Larry Klayman more than a decade ago, it is not so strange to find Ken Starr writing a warm email to Jeffrey Epstein, dated 15 March 2012: “My friend, my brother – all is well. Come see me. Otherwise, I’ll come knocking on your door. Best, Ken.” As it turns out, Starr was the “most powerful force” behind Epstein’s 2008 plea deal. Some might ask what is wrong with Ken Starr being Epstein’s lawyer. Nothing at all. But as one journalist noted, “Zealously representing a criminal defendant does not require being their buddy.”[xxx]

There is something very crooked in these cozy relationships between sexual predators and political crocodiles. Maneaters, every one of them. Something wicked has burrowed into the system, occupying our institutions and exposing us to untold dangers. Nebraska state Senator John DeCamp, after investigating the pedophilia and satanic abuse claims of Paul Bonacci (during the Franklin Federal Credit Union scandal), penned a paragraph of melancholy regret:

“I have often said that I wish I had never heard of Franklin Credit Union, Larry King, or Paul Bonacci. I sincerely mean this. Why? Simply because I believe Paul Bonacci is telling the truth [about the pedophile rings], and that our institutions of government have been as badly corrupted as that implies.

“If I still had the luxury of believing, as I once did, that the allegations of drug abuse, child abuse, pedophilia, theft and satanic cult activity were exaggerated imaginings of some over-active child and adult imaginations, then I would not have to do anything about Franklin. I could still be enjoying an income of $400,000 per year as a lobbyist, without having to work so hard, instead of being financially strangled as clients are intimidated away from hiring me, because of the Franklin connection.”[xxxi]

Perhaps we have a system where good citizens are punished and malefactors protected. This setup has been called the “Swamp.”  We ought to remember how Donald Trump promised to drain the swamp almost a decade ago. But he drained nothing. He is not like Roman Consul Spurius Postumius who put down the Bacchanalian cult of 186 BC. In fact, Trump was recently caught on a microphone wishing people would kowtow to him like they do to North Korean Supreme Leader, Kim Jong Un. Trump has no love of the Republic. Like other demagogues, he admires dictators. If it is not a disgrace to wish for toadies after the fashion of an Asian sociopath, it nonetheless indicates his anti-republican disposition. The situation is particularly alarming when we see how President Trump regards the Epstein Files. His name as well as his Mar-a-Lago resort are mentioned 38,000 times across 5,300 files. On 3 February Trump said, “I think it’s really time for the country to maybe get onto something else….” Incredibly, Trump added, “it was a conspiracy against me, literally by Epstein and other people.”[xxxii]

A close-up of 'Black's Encyclopaedia of Document Redaction Techniques' by Pam Blondie, Esq., displayed on a wooden surface with blurred bookshelves in the background.

Of course, it is always about him. Trump is the center of the known universe. All stars, all planets, all happenings revolve around him. And yet, this overblown clown, full of overblown claims, is very nervous about releasing anything further. He would prefer to release more secret UFO files. Why is Trump so eager to divert attention at this moment? One might call it a conspiracy on Trump’s periphery, involving his friends. But how did they become his friends? How did he prosper within these circles, rubbing shoulders with child rapists? How can he be clean? Where are the missing FBI 302s?  

And what about Trump’s commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, who lied about his association with Epstein? And there is Pam Bondi, who has no real desire to go after a large gang of scofflaw predators. There is no statute of limitations on child rape. Why is she so determined to sweep this under the rug? Around the world, powerful people are resigning from their positions – like Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, who stepped down as CEO of DP World after it became known that he wrote an email to Epstein which stated, “I loved the torture video.”  

Torture video?

There have been some crazy allegations related to Epstein, which the police refused to believe because the accusers appeared unhinged. But given the nature of the crimes, why wouldn’t Epstein’s victims lose their sanity? We have an allegation about babies being dismembered, “their intestines removed, and individuals eating the feces from these intestines.” Then we have emails about babies being better than cream cheese: “There are millions of babies, very little good vegatble [vegetable] cream cheese.” In the same email exchange we read, “Lol, I don’t know if cream cheese and baby are on the same level.” Snopes awkwardly acknowledges that Epstein’s correspondence contains references to cannibalism and ritual sacrifice; but hey, there is no proof of any wrongdoing. Right? Nothing to see here, folks. These guys are only referring to cannibalism and ritual sacrifice in a joking manner – like we all do (wink, wink).[xxxiii]

Following this we see an email released by the DOJ from one Bryan Miller, dated 2 October 2020, which says,

“Back in the 90s Ghislaine Maxwell recruited a girl … for a modeling career. Instead of modeling she was sold as a sex slave for sex and torture. Prince Andrew was an accessory to her death as he tortured her and me to force her murder.”[xxxiv]

Then we have an email that refers to Sabrina Bittencourt’s accusations against Joao Teixeira de Faira, who was arrested after being accused by 600 women and girls of running a sex slave farm and selling babies on the black market. It says, “[redacted] spoke of this going on at Zorro Ranch. She has said on record that Epstein offered her money to do this. Birth babies for black market use.”[xxxv] There follows a link to an article saying that Faira was promoted by Oprah Winfrey in 2013, and that Bill Clinton was allegedly one of Faira’s clients, according to the Daily Wire. Then we read that Sabrina Bittencourt “committed suicide in her home in Barcelona, Spain.”[xxxvi]

Suicides, suicides, and more suicides. We lose track of how many, including the alleged suicide of Mr. Epstein himself. Can murders be made to look like suicides? And what of the more easily disposable victims? Wood-chippers, drums of sulfuric acid, sharks, anyone? Here is another gem sent from COLOM, Olvier to Jeffrey Epstein, about “shrimp,” which may be code language for children. It begins with “I can’t even think of the smell of black shrimp – ugh.” Then the response, “I like shrimp. But not so much if it’s too pink, although I’m definitely more into white than into any other color. I like your philosophy.” Then back again with, “no, some are like shrimp, you throw away the head and keep the body.” And then, the last response: “As long as you don’t have any hammerhead ones… I like white sharks.”

A surreal landscape featuring a large, eye-like structure with tentacle-like appendages, a translucent figure holding a box, and remnants of ancient architecture, all set against a dark, cloudy sky.

So that everyone understands the case: There are monsters who devour children. And then there are monsters who protect the monsters who devour children. To take a specific case, investigator Nick Bryant asks whether House Speaker Mike Johnson is compromised, pointing out that “Johnson would rather shut down Congress than have the House vote on a bill that would mandate an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s network of child molesters.” Bryant writes,

“I’ve found that Americans have a collective naïveté about politicians’ sexscapades, believing that they are the dalliances and moral failings of a select few. My fellow Americans have great difficulty accepting that many of our politicians are endowed with a potent psychological alchemy of power, arrogance, and lust that fluently translates into extramarital affairs, aberrant behavior, and even illicit deeds.”[xxxvii]

When you see victims choking back tears, struggling to relate the things they saw, you begin to realize the evil that is being hidden. The fact that former House Speaker Dennis Hastert was a child predator necessitates a simple question: Was Hastert promoted to House Speaker because of his sexual preference for children? The theory here is that our system promotes people who are amenable to control. But who is in control? Epstein’s assistant was Russian. His pilot was Russian. His bodyguard was Russian. Most of the girls he exploited were imported from Russia. Epstein was honey-trapping Westerners, not Russians. And his partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, was the daughter of a KGB agent (Robert Maxwell).[xxxviii] And Robert Maxwell was also involved in blackmailing Mossad. But he was not blackmailing Russians. He was blackmailing Israelis. Among the DOJ files is an email in which Epstein says that Robert Maxwell was murdered by Mossad after he attempted to expose all Mossad operations unless he was paid £400 million to save his collapsing businesses.[xxxix]

Are there any known instances of a Western agent blackmailing the KGB or the SVR? This whole intelligence game appears to be a one-way street. In Russia the criminals run everything. Blackmail against officials in Russia can have no meaning because the state controls the media and all enemies of the state are jailed or murdered. The courts in Russia are under the control of someone who might just be the world’s leading controller of pedophiles: Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. (More on him in Part 4).

The vulnerability of America’s leaders, by contrast, may be illustrated by a simple reference, given by Nick Bryant, as to how many U.S. legislators have been entangled in sexual scandals in recent years. Here is the list: Gary Condit (D-CA), Ed Schrock (R-VA), Steven C. LaTourette (R-OH), David Dreier (R-CA), Don Sherwood (R-PA), Mark Foley (R-FL), David Vitter (R-LA), Larry Craig (R-ID), Tim Mahoney (D-FL), Vito Fossella (R-NY), John Edwards (D-NC), John Ensign (R-NV), Chip Pickering (R-MS), Eric Massa (D-NY), Mark Souder (R-IN), Christopher Lee (R-NY), Anthony Weiner (D-NY), Scott Desjarlais (R-TN), David Wu (D-OR), Vince McAllister (R-LA), Blake Farenthold (R-TX), Dennis Hastert (R-IL), Tim Murphy (R-PA), Al Franken (D-MN), Joe Barton (R-TX), Trent Franks (R-AZ), John Conyers (D-MI), and Pat Meehan (R-PA).[xl]

And yes. There will be more to come….

Pliny had heard rumors that Christians were engaging in ritual cannibalism and incest, but when he investigated the matter, he found that Christian gatherings were “innocent” and that Christians did not eat infants or drink their blood. Also, the fact that men referred to women in the church as “sister,” or that women referred to men as “brother,” no incest was taking place. Finding no crime among the Christians, Pliny struggled with the question as to whether Christians should be punished, even though he regarded their beliefs as a bizarre and “contagious superstition” that might indeed threaten the Roman social order. In his reply, Trajan directed Pliny to punish Christians upon conviction while explicitly forbidding any active pursuit of Christians or use of anonymous evidence against them. To receive pardon Christians merely had to recant their believes and worship the Roman gods.

  1. No sooner than you posted your article Jeff the US and Israel kicked off the war of Iran and so far it’s pretty massive shooting 🌠 exchange!!

    1. Are the Iranian people rising up?

      1. Has the effective leadership of the people inside the country now been effectively eliminated with all the time Trump has given the regime? What all took place inside the nation with all the time Trump gave them?

        I don’t think Trump does anything not approved and/or directed by Moscow.

        1. I think the Russians fed a demon, and it was like playing with a gasoline can and matches.

        2. Yes, Moscow told Trump to delete their client state.

          1. Closing the strait of Hormuz may help Russia export oil at a higher price. But I am not sure whether this calculation will play out. What if Iran cannot keep the strait closed? Russia needs to get involved in some way. Let us watch and see.

          2. Yes, just like Moscow told him to pressure Zelensky to surrender while giving Europe the finger in favor of Russian client state Hungary. One of the first things that Trump did in his second term was to close down the DOJ task force that was investigating Russian corruption and organized crime in the US. But I’m sure that’s just a coincidence.

            And Trump hasn’t deleted anything yet, not in Iran and certainly not in Venezuela.

          3. I think closing down the task force is a strong point against Trump; it could also be viewed as him adopting an initial conciliatory posture towards them as part of the initial peace phase overtures.

            I also think it’s impossible to say that severely eliminating Iran’s reach in the region vis a vis their missile stockpile and decapitating their leadership is a nothing-burger; the only way that it could possibly be a win for Russia is if their intent is to strike the US soon and sacrificing Iran is part of that plan, in exchange for further depleting American missile defense munitions. I readily admit I do not know the answer either way.

  2. Showalter suffers not so much of scientism, rather atheism. Or an extreme form of naturalism. Science looks at the evidence, and follows where the evidence leads. Even if the evidence leads to something that is not limited to the physical universe. Showalter believes in neither God nor Satan. She’s part of a cult that teaches that in order to be a scientist, one must be an atheist. Therefore, to fulfill the demands of her cult, she must deny any involvement of a non-physical being, despite the evidence.

    I accept the evidence, of childhood torture and murder. The Bible tells that such things happen. There is no evil beyond which wicked men are capable.

    I myself am a victim of “recovered memories”. I have a brother who was lured into believing false memories then accused me of doing things to him at an age when I didn’t know such things existed. He also accused my parents of unspeakable actions, which neither I nor any of my other siblings observed or heard about. My father was no saint–he acted as if proper physical correction included fists and feet. I haven’t forgotten. I’m reminded everytime I deal with permanent injuries from that time. Forgiveness is a wonderful thing. I blame those irresponsible therapists who placed those false memories for detracting from those true victims of pedophilia, torture and worse.

    The reason that the Epsteins of this world don’t target communist leaders, is because they are well known for doing all the evils that Epstein used as blackmail. Therefore, they can’t be blackmailed. It’s here in the States where we still have a cultural memory of good, that blackmail can be effective.

    When the corruption has become so pervasive in our country, how can we clean it up? Proverbs 28:2 “In a rebellious land, many are its policemen.” We don’t have near enough cops. We need to hold the criminals accountable. Have we as a nation descended too far into evil that we cannot recover?

    1. I am sorry your brother was confused by false memories about you and your family. The world is a distressing place where the truly good are often diminished in the eyes of people who would make a hell out of Heaven. It seems that if the heart is out of tune, being drawn to untruth, much evil comes. At every turn we are confronted with choice. Truth or falsehood. The more complex the truth, the greater the temptation to falsify. Impurity consists in this, and a road to perdition.

      1. I didn’t write the above in order to elicit sympathy, rather to illustrate the damage of false “recovered memories”, both to the innocent and to the credibility of those who recall horrible experiences. Who’s telling the truth? In the case of my brother, his recovered memories were lies. Some in my family still believe all recovered memories are lies. I recognize that some recovered memories recount horrible truths. Which are true and which are lies? That’s the conundrum. Because of those quacks pushing false recovered memories, sometimes the innocent go to jail, other times the guilty go free. And we don’t know which is which. The distinction is very hard to recognize.

        Sorry I was not more clear in my original post.

        1. It is a complicated question. A clinician has to be cautious and meticulous in dealing with trauma.

    Jeffrey Nyquist I’ve heard some people say that Epstein could be alive in your vision, would that be possible?

    1. Given the degraded state of our prisons it is certainly possible. But I don’t know if this is what happened. Someone in authority in the prison would have to be implicated. No witness so far has made a an accusation against a particular administrator. Or did I miss something?

    2. This is a conspiracy spread by the Russians in my opinion. For one, it would be far harder to smuggle Epstein out than to simply murder him in jail. Two, look at the story that accompanied that theory, that he was alive – in Israel. The KGB has been laying on the anti-Israel stuff thick, to great effect here in the US, but to a knowledgeable observer, it is also a giveaway.

      The final reason is that Epstein had served his purpose. What further use would they have for him if he could not run their operation? No, he had served his purpose lo these many years. They prevented an investigation into him in 2005 and activated the one in 2019 because it was time then to cast away their pawn, unfortunately Jeffrey hadn’t gotten the memo that he had outlived his usefulness and would be more useful to them dead vs alive, for the new stage of serving his purpose for conspiracy theories, fracturing MAGA, and exciting the fevered imaginations against “the JOOS!” and Israel.

    Jeffrey nyquist what is your view of Bitcoin? Do you think it is an asset that can surpass gold as people say? Do you think he can be an ally against the communists? Could he have been created by the communists, been infiltrated or made himself useful to them?

      3. bitcoin dropped based on that Japanese policy for pricing credit CHANGED. Japanese currency was major instrument to purchase coin cause their currency was always dirt cheap or even negatively interest rated so to speak. But POLICY CHANGED. Some on who owned a HOUSE in Manhatan moved to Japan in 2013 and runs a fund there. He publushed in the past at MIT on …. state issued paper, as any kond of government paper. And 2013 he figured THE MOVE ABOVE

    2. Epstein was connected to Michael Saylor, a major Bitcoin backer, and there is a famous video of a rich man, possibly a billionaire, saying that Bitcoin was created by the Russians.

      1. Yes, I saw that. Certainly Russia had been looking for ways to swindle people. And bitcoin will prove to be a swindle when all is said and done.

          1. Yes. Russia may be the largest gold-producing country and we do not know what their gold reserves are. Presently, they are paying for the war with gold. It is how they are able to continue.

          1. I think the gold price is floating up because the masters of Wall Street depend on a lower price, and have pegged their investments to a lower price. The rise in silver and gold could destroy Wall Street. We will see.

      Great texts in Latin out there. I wish I could on my own, but the help of google lens translators, it is much more fun now. The texts of Snorry in Latin on scandinavian myths look fun. Speaking of human sacrifice, the epics of Hadingus which parallel the myths of Thor and Odin do speak of gods being picky about sacrifices, indicating their preferences for the highest and most revered priests. The antics of treacherous war gods in beserking madness seem to parallel the type of dissociation switch on switch off that victims of sacrifices would endure.

      For some reason Latin is harder for me than greek because some Latin words you think you know as they look similar but in fact, depending on context especially, you could not be further from the truth, and, thus, it is a mistake to rely on intuition in Latin. One has to be rock solid in its grammar and vocabulary.

      Whereas Greek is more intuitive and structured like english or french, and you can guess there more. I also have difficulty for some reason learning languages where the verb is at the end. Ancient Hebrew and Geez start with the verb and it makes it so much easier to structure the text from there ,and with instant situation awareness of sorts one can immediately start anticipating, like in music, what the next notes will be.

    Jefftey Nyquist Have you ever heard of David Wilkerson and his prophecies? I researched it and saw that it is similar to your work but in the prophetic sense and vice versa in the analytical sense it claims that the USA would be destroyed in a one hour attack and that it would no longer be a power and that the whole world would mourn and that the Russian leadership would be in bunker during the attack what is your vision please? It is known that the Russians are building a super bunker and that they have plans to attack the USA with a nuclear attack and would this be a coincidence? please your vision thank you!

    1. A nuclear attack is planned against the USA. The extent of the attack and its timing are uncertain. My feeling is that they will do this when Russia and China have completed their mobilizations. Economic problems might cause them to reconsider. Hard to say right now. The Iran battle could prove decisive.

        The enemy has conditioned the US with the idea of diplomatic “off ramps” for the very reason of conditioning disbelief in surprise attack.

        Fox News in fact has gone full communist when they started asking if there was any off ramps after today’s bombing of Iran. Are you kidding me? There is no off ramps when a campaign like that is started. The off ramps was when Iran was doing provocations and we could return to armistice of sort. This is regime change and once in it, we cannot stop.

        In fact, the Iraq war failed to identify Iran as the culprit, and in Afghanistan it was China and Russia all along who later pledged to the Talebans after the debacle. At this point, the off ramps is regime change in Russia.

        And while dum dum hypocrite Trump was trying to promote peace with Russia, Russia was amping up its artillery stockpiles. From 400 k a year at the beginning, which already was considerable, they now are producing 7 million a year!

        This is a NATO invasion prep. They in fact have a surplus of these rounds now after getting 4-8 million rounds from Iran and North Korea. It is insane. That decision is a hard nosed hard headed one, not a speculation of theirs for defense.

        Bottom line is, we all expect a normal escalation of shenanigans, with provocations and returns to armistice, but they can very well jump the shark and not take this intermediate posture, especially if that is what we feel they will do.

        1. No off ramp now. Lol.

      2. Any open attack on USA interest of THAT magnitude will trigger mechanism of survival. Plans how we continue to live. They mostly include massive strikes on ALL enemy threats. There is enough weapons for that and we dont even need nukes. This is most simple to understand because there is NO other way to secure survival.

      3. A surprise nuclear attack, followed immediately by a land invasion, is the only way that Putin and the CCP can hope to win against the U.S. Looking back at the speech by Chi Haotian where he recognizes that the U.S. must be defeated and occupied in order to achieve the Chinese century, the use of nukes is almost mandatory. But nukes have major weaknesses.

        One, they are so powerful that only certain targets are worth a nuke. Those include military installations and major cities. Major cities are leftist and democrat strongholds, just look at county breakdowns of voting patterns, even in left voting states, the majority of counties voted right. But major urban areas contain only about a half of the U.S. population. Which brings me to the second weakness.

        Secondly, people who populate the small towns to mid-sized cities, about half the U.S. population, tend to be armed, self-reliant and ready to fight back against any invasion. They include about ten times the number of potential snipers than the total PLA front-line forces that the CCP could hope to invade. While nukes will kill tens of millions of U.S. citizens, possibly over 100 million, the weapons in private hands could prove decisive.

        A third point is that the majority of Chinese citizens hate the CCP and PLA. Yet the PLA and its attendant police forces are the only things holding the country together. If they are sent overseas in an invasion force, then are defeated, what’s to stop the Chinese people from rising up and destroying the CCP?

        As for the timing, events like the war against Iran, battlefield reverses in the Ukraine war, continued economic collapses in both Russia and China, and other problems, may force a sooner attack than originally planned. More of an act of desperation.

        What will the U.S. be like after such a devastating war? Remember, such a war will also include Europe and much of Asia. They will be devasted too.

        Not being a prophet, just reading current events, give a dark future for all of us. But many of us will survive.

        1. Biological weapons. Poison the food/water. Thousands or millions of drones possibly even now assembled and cached throughout the country. Shut down supply chain -how many ports are basically under Chinese control? Nukes probably only necessary for a few strategic military targets. Trump folded on keeping the Chinese “students” out. In fact, he stated he was always okay with it.

          1. Yes. The target list changes with the way society functions.

        2. Their goal post-attack almost certainly includes the “Salvation Committees”, the arming of willing “minorities” to go after “right wing factions”, I believe it was one of the Russian generals who mentioned this. This plan makes logical sense, divide the population post-attack and weaponize one segment against the other. This strategy shows greater promise given the increase in racial lunacy these past decades.

          1. As a theory it is sound. And it was A PLAN! BUT>
            Any practical attenmpts of THIS kind are impossible for so many reasons.

            In fact the looting of USA after missile strike is most absurd and impossible soviet wet dream they masturbate to FOR ALMOST 100 years already)))))))) they are incapable of even 1/10 of 1% of that)))

            They are mostly incapable degenerates. We will see how they disappear , may be this year already

            UA rocket forces soon will have their own nomeclature of ALL possible rockets and ALL needed anti rocket and anti drone systems

            Since 2021 we effectively built UA DARPA. I was personaly consulting on it and NOW we have over 1000 successfull startups and others under ONE UMBRELLA.

            ALL WORLD BIG SHOTS WANT A PIECE OF UA TECH. We are like a Mecca for that NOW.))

          2. What is UA? Ukraine?

          3. Many incredible tech advancements are coming to fruition. It is bewildering to see how rapidly technology is advancing.

          4. They are weaponing our political differences, which a — as ideological narratives — feed internal conflict.

        3. The best nuclear war strategy is to leave the cities untouched. Let them fall apart and starve.

          1. to Historian: yes, UA i use to abbreviate Ukraine in short

          2. Remember that old joke, “Who is a recent conservative? A liberal who’s been mugged.” Not everyone in the cities are crazy liberals, they may vote in crazy liberals, but once the country is attacked with nukes, many will turn on the attackers. They will become “those who have been mugged” and will join the people fighting against the invaders. Wouldn’t it be easier for the invaders just to kill them with nukes?

  8. I’m not an American, but I’ve for years thought that this might just be the one ‘foreign intervention’ that could be generally welcomed in the US. I’m old enough to remember the hostages and the barrack-bombings. Also, just looking at the photograph of ayatollah Khomeni- surely this is a child of Satan.

    Am I wrong? Genuinely interested in current US public sentiment.

    As an aside, I recall that after an earthquake in the 1980’s/90’s, the Iranian regime even excepted ‘humanitarian aid’ from the US, but rejected anything coming from Israel and ‘apartheid’ South Africa, Btw and unless I’m mistaken, when the Shah was ill, he was offered refuge and treatment in South Africa. He refused and suffered an excruciating death in Egypt instead.

    1. Public opinion here is divided. People sympathetic to the Iranian people and Israel are hoping for the fall of the Islamic regime. Most Democrats and MAGAs will oppose it. That leaves a small mix of people who may be older and more moderate in their ideological views. The attack had better be spectacularly successful or the whole thing will backfire politically.

      1. Trump’s 2024 ‘pro choice’-shift was troubling. Perhaps though, he’s bound by what is politiically feasible. His Sectratary of War meanwhile unashamadely gave glory to Jesus—“the Lord of Lords”- in his recent public prayer. As far as I know that’s pretty extraordinary. Usually US officials prefer appeals to a generic Higher Entity. Or, in the case of Bush, even mention mosques and their ‘religion of peace’.

        I hope Trump has some unfathomable knack and this will indeed be spectacularily successful.

          Trump’s a strange animal but not too unfamiliar to me. Most Americans such as him want to enjoy life and are agreeable, but they are not against easy come easy go evil deed rationalization if it benefits them and they are not alien to beserking if pushed around. They get heated if their ego or narcissism is hurt, different person.

          Interestingly his trickster mentality is a bit of a match for the snarky communist hypocrite meek trickster mentality. This is kind of like a uhoh moment.

          He still has no clue about the fundamentals of Marxism, which is this “what counts” mentality from what does not count. There is an excellent Bollywood movie from the 90s explaining it. Ie for Trump the economic welfare genuinely matters, something a communist cares not about. The communist is more afraid of “real problems” like a sudden scarcity cultural point creating a division and dispute among villagers. This obsession on production vs ownership group fascinates Marxists. Price of Tomatos? Not at all, can always be blamed on someone else or something else, but they have identified what they feel are fundamental problems of society and try to avoid facing them because they pretty much admit they cannot be solved, not by them at least, and all they can do is foist them on others instead.

    2. I have zero problem with it and think it’s a good idea in general, assuming it’s not a trap or leads to long costly wars. Iran is a proxy of Russia, they create proxies themselves, they are an enemy of America and want to kill Americans. They were building up ballistic missiles and the more Russian puppets the US rolls up, the better in general. But there are many other considerations I am not knowledgeable enough about, if this depletes US ammo, etc..

      1. Yes. I also do not know enough about our ammunition stockpiles to say whether we are depleting them. It does appear that Russia and China are mobilizing at the same time. This troubles me. Now we are busy with Iran. We are not mobilizing. We are committing what we have to a conflict that is not with Russia or China. What does this allow them to do? How does this help them? Or does it hurt them if Iran collapses? Certainly, if Iran collapses quickly and we can exit the Middle East with a victory the Russian and Chinese strategy will be hampered. What are the chances we get this outcome? I don’t know.

          Does this mean no more Shahed drones?

        2. The most troubling aspect is that Russia is still mobilizing to attack Europe’s eastern flank, but there’s almost no mainstream news coverage in the West. This week was the 4th anniversary of the start of the war in Ukraine, and it’s been barely mentioned in the media at all. I worry that all the attention on Iran and the Middle East could be a cover or set up for a surprise action in Europe. The Trump admin, through SecState Rubio in Munich, was as explicit as it could be about pulling away from Europe in favor of Russia-friendly states like Hungary. Even more disconcerting, Moscow has seemingly enlisted the help of Washington in trying to pressure Ukraine to surrender. And now with war in the Middle East and possible regime change in Iran, there is “justifiable” reason for the US to stay out of a war in Europe. And even it’s not about that, all the European countries who support Ukraine but are dependent on ME oil could come under a lot of pressure if their access is cut off. There are a lot of pitfalls, and only a slim chance of a spectacular victory in Iran.

          And even if there is a spectacular victory/regime change in Iran, what does it really mean? Just before Trump took office there was the spectacular fall of the Assad regime in Syria, but that didn’t hurt Russia one bit.

        USA only supplies UA with outdated weapons, NEVER showing most advanced US mil tech. Because if we show the cutting edge – in 3 month PRC and kacapy will figure counter measures. WE NEED A CUTTING EDGE advantage in case we are attacked and will need to protect homeland

        Mind that ATACMS, HIMARS, ALL US weapons suppkied to UA ..

        ARE OBSOLETE WITHOUT Ukrainian guiding tech. Ruskies can jamm ALL atacms and alike

  9. I am hesitant to read more …….

    For your information: the book “Stranger in a Strange Land” ( my least favorite Heinlein book ) has discussions of cannibalism. I am guessing that book was popular in the 1960s with the anti-American crowd.

    The Heinlein’s visited Russia and might have ended up being pressured by the Communists.

    1. Heinlein was a libertarian.

      1. Libertarians are simply leftists in disguise, in my opinion. Their only purpose is to attack conservatives. Consider their positions: they promote the economic buildup of China through “free trade”, they promote rampant drug use through “freedom of choice”, they attack any war that the U.S. wages against Communists on the grounds of “no forever wars / warmonger”, I could go on and on. Russia creates these fake splinter groups. I believe Cliff Kincaid found direct funding from Russia to libertarian figures. Look at Massie, look at Dave Smith, all of this originated, as far as I can tell, with the same group of “free market” snakes of Linda Chavez, Milton Friedman, who began developing this doctrine. One could argue that Milton Friedman did more to bolster and strengthen Communism than many died-in-the-wool Communists.

        1. Yes. Cliff Kincaid did find this. An important angle.

            I found it here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=k4D1Zl1OvZ0

            His whole channel is great, Cliff is fearless, I wish him and Jeff did some discussions.

        2. Of course the “libertarians” are that. Even if some come out of spite only- this is classic left field

      I am an ex-libertarian. The essence of my thinking on this since I’ve left the movement is that libertarianism is fundamentally left because it opposes hierarchy. It’s amazing to see how much Lew Rockwell and the antiwar.com people are ok with the governments and militaries of nations opposed to the USA and Israel. One of the books that helped open my mind to the idea that one could believe in a market economy without turning it into an ideology was A Humane Economy by Wilhelm Ropke.

      1. Wilhelm Röpke is an excellent analyst whose work goes beyond economics to examine factors like humane institutions and avoiding the problem of institutions and businesses that are too big. He suggested limiting the size of businesses.

        1. I noticed that beyond a certain size, companies become less efficient. It seems related to the number of people working for the companies. In other words, beyond a certain size, I have not studied which is the optimal size, there are inefficiencies of scale.

          1. If I recall it was not about efficiency but about the number of people that could form a close-knit group where people really can know each other. I think the optimal number was 255 for largest allowed size for companies with exceptions made for certain industries.

  10. Guys, is this not the height of arrogance, ignorance, and irresponsibility?

    So, he’s already encouraged them to revolt, promising to help them, weeks ago. They revolted, he did nothing, many thousands died -many of the more outspoken, bold, and leadership type I would have to assume.

    And now this statement. Maybe the past several weeks was the time needed to get the proper replacements in place.

    Maybe this is a disinformation operation akin to that of the false democratization of Czechoslovakia dilineated by Golitsyn, albeit more bloody and with the aid of an American asset.

    This statement to me bodes nothing good for the people of Iran, and shows the lack of true commitment to help them.

    They are unarmed for the most part, and so will they actually be able to overcome their oppressors? And just what exactly are we bombing? And this punch has been telegraphed for so long, hasn’t the regime had ample time to prepare for whatever blow it is??

    This is all foolishness to me, and seems to serve as a smokescreen for something among whatever other things it may be.

    I guarantee the Shah doesn’t go in as rightful and longed for ruler. And Trump doesn’t even mention him. Looks like he’ll be able to put the blame on the Iranian people if they can’t install the proper ruler.

    If anyone besides the Shah goes in, I think it’ll be like Venezuela after Maduro was removed and his vice president took his position: “let me introduce you to the new boss, same as the old boss ”

    1. Sorry, forgot to post the Trump quote :

      1. “this will probably be your only chance for generations…”

        What about the chance weeks ago when they were thousands and thousands stronger?

        1. Sorry to keep posting so much on this topic. I’m not trying to distract from the main topic of the very well-done and troubling essay. But this comment by Putin to me us just further evidence of what Jeff pointed out after the last essay, i.e., Trump is being used to provide pretext for Russia/China to attack America:

          https://www.facebook.com/share/18CE1h2oN5/

          1. The enemy is trying to put together a world war. The question is whether they can do this without getting badly hurt before they get to the first strike on American part.

          2. PRC dies in WW as a political entity ..within monthes. They kow it. UA intelligence knows it. Of course US intel. knows it as well. WW may be the fastest way we clean the planet mon. Serious. Think as an arch strategist, you will see it in a second

    2. The Iranian regime is being hit hard. The big question is whether they collapse. This is an unknown and that is what makes Operation Epic Fury so scary. You are starting a war in the world’s most sensitive waterway. The Strait of Hormuz is closed. It must be open again soon or our allies are going to have serious economic problems.

        This situation in Iran is such a schizo damn if you do, damned if you do not.

        The Shah himself threatened to side with the Soviets when the US cried foul of his game of oil price extortion. I think he was Kossak too I hear. And then you have these Iranian feminists who, are better than our feminists, but this is not new and more like an infighting. Lybian feminists had a similar issue with American feminists ignoring them.

        Basically a lot of communists and leftists in Iran seem to be poised to recuperate all this when they were the ones responsible as agitated idiots for anti Americanism and for the Mullahs. It makes me squirm, just like this disgenuine Stalinist lie that Russia was victim of Nazis that they in fact had manufactured in the first place.

        If the German was certainly callous and evil, my opinion is that the Russians were and are far worse. Let us note, even compared to the French! Because it was the French Vichy zeal which was the real crime as germans were more cordial with both french and jews in France than Vichy was. The big lie of Vichyists in France about Petain’s armistice being a preservation of France is that Vichy was not a cautious submission , it was a militant rabbid pro Hitler and then some movement of its own Z army like zeal.

      2. the military tech superiority is beyond ANY believe. Mind we did not even show the most advanced. Some say most advanced military tech is not in US any more. In UA it is.

          Not sure. Have not been impressed by the F-16 MLU upgrades in Ukraine. Seems like the Su-35 and Mig-31 is keeping them at bay.

          1. YES. Well, there is very simple reason in Ukrfaine why we still do not dominate in air. It is a little differen and specific. Its air to air missiles. The r37 rocket. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-37_(missile)

            As soon as UA achives air superiority: we march South, split the degemerates forces in half , etc. Obvious from the map it is !

            USA may have smth long range A2A. In EU they have Meteor.

            may be some from here wil do

            AIM-54 Phoenix (United States): Up to ~100–114 nautical miles (185–210 km). Earlier variants (AIM-54A/B) around 72–84 nmi (135–155 km); later AIM-54C extended to ~99 nmi (184 km). Often cited as “over 100 miles” in service.
            AIM-152 AAAM (United States): >100 nmi (>185 km), with some design goals up to 100–150+ nmi (185–280+ km). This was a canceled 1990s program to replace the Phoenix with a lighter, ramjet or multi-pulse rocket design.
            AIM-174B Gunslinger (United States): At least 130–150 nmi (240–280 km), with estimates often 200–250+ nmi (370–460+ km) or more under optimal high-altitude air-launch conditions (derived from SM-6 SAM roots).
            AIM-260 JATM (United States): At least 120 mi (200 km), with many estimates suggesting significantly more (e.g., double the AIM-120D’s range). Exact figures remain classified; it’s designed to outrange threats like the PL-15.
            Novator KS-172 (Russia): Up to 200–400 km (often cited as 300–400 km maximum; export variants limited to ~300 km). Designed as an “AWACS killer” with variants including booster options.
            PL-21 (China): Over 300 km, with some reports/claims up to 400 km. Ramjet-powered, under development for high-value targets.
            PL-17 (China): More than 400 km (claimed), with estimates 300–500 km depending on conditions. Dual-pulse rocket, focused on high-value airborne assets (e.g., tankers, AWACS).
            Long-Range Engagement Weapon (LREW) (United States): No public specific range figures (concept/development phase by Raytheon). Intended as a next-gen beyond-visual-range missile, likely exceeding current systems (e.g., complementing AIM-260), with potential for very extended reach against high-value targets.
            Meteor (France, United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Spain, Sweden): Official ~75–120 km (with no-escape zone ~60+ km); widely estimated 200+ km maximum under optimal conditions. Ramjet propulsion provides sustained energy and large no-escape zone.
            Astra Mark 3 (India): ~350 km (often cited as 300–350 km; some reports specify 340 km at high altitude/20 km launch, 190 km at lower 8 km). Ramjet (SFDR)-powered variant under development, also called Gandiva.

            These are long-range BVR missiles, many aimed at countering AWACS, tankers, or fighters at standoff distances. Actual combat performance depends on integration, sensors, and tactics.

      3. We should be ready for terror attacks on Amercan soil.
        My associate is about to fly to Dubai in several days. We hope it will be possible. THere were several huge coinferences shceduled there, I myself considerewd to attend, but I am not going of course. But they may have to, its a collecive engagement and many connecting flightI AM SO SCARED DOR THEM.

        Other smart and informed sources all warn for a war threats as in GLOBLA WAR. Some point to fact the PRC obvioulsy supplied mullahs recently.

        But i say PRC will not be a problem. WW3 wull kill PRC regime. It is NOT desugned for wars. Those who know will understand

        EXACTLY ON ALL POINTS !!!!! – ( JRN: The big question is whether they collapse. This is an unknown and that is what makes Operation Epic Fury so scary. You are starting a war in the world’s most sensitive waterway. The Strait of Hormuz is closed. It must be open again soon or our allies are going to have serious economic problems.)

    3. I don’t know. It seems Khomenei WANTED him to attack back then when they were gunning down thirty thousand in the streets. Maybe he knew Trump’s forces weren’t ready. It seems maybe Trump was caught off guard by that massacre but then sent forces there. To me it shows great restraint to wait until the right moment, until he had the adequate military might.

      Iran had thousands of ballistic missiles, if the U.S. was able to take all of those out without taking major damage that is a major win. Trump took major political damage when those people were being slaughtered. It was an intentional provocation, the leftist media was goading him to strike, and then additional provocateurs here at home were gashing him politically for not acting. He was taking major damage. But to me it shows great self control. It must have been quite difficult to have witnessed those murders, especially with the intel he had. But he probably also knew if he acted too soon, it could be a bloodbath from their missiles.

      It looks right now like the US and Israeli military took out most of not all of their missiles that they had prepped, and also the upper leadership. Very few casualties reported in response. I do worry about sleepers here in the US, but so far that is a fairly impressive achievement.

      As far as telling them to “rise up”, what else can he do? The US can not go in, they cannot commit boots on the ground, they can’t get sucked into a quagmire. Trump knows this. He needs them to act as his forces, but also for their own sake. Yes, it is 30,000 too late, but better late than never. I also suspect that both he and Israel may have people on the ground targeting other cogs in the machine of the leadership. It is critical to actually break the regime structure so that it shatters or it won’t work. So yes, I hear all of your points, but I think acting prematurely could have been disastrous, not just for Western forces, but also for the Iranian people. I think it must have been quite tough for him seeing all those people get murdered knowing he had to wait.

      1. I do not know if it would be a quagmire, but our military people and our political people have a corruption factor that would lead to a quagmire — with people wanting to control the new situation. Always, there are these opposing factions who want to enrich themselves out of a new dispensation in the Middle East.

      2. “It must have been quite difficult to have witnessed those murders, especially with the intel he had.”
        Yes, just as difficult as witnessing the slaughter of Ukrainian civilians every day. That must be why Trump keeps telling Zelensky to just shut up and surrender already.

        Regarding Iran, Trump’s actions in urging Iranian protesters to rise up telling them that “help is on the way” and then doing nothing while countless numbers of them were slaughtered is worse than irresponsible, it almost seems like he set them up to get mowed down. If the US wasn’t ready to step in right at that time, then he should have kept quiet. Behind the scenes admin officials should have been coordinating with opposition leaders while urging caution until everything was in place for executing a decapitating strike against the regime. That would have been the smart and responsible way of going about regime change. But it’s Trump who tried to incite things prematurely. That’s inexcusable given the intelligence he has. It’s not like the Iranian regime cracking down on protesters was unpredictable. I don’t see how it can be argued that this stunt was tactically necessary or that it prevented the US from having to put American boots on the ground. It may actually have gotten a lot of Iranian people killed, people who were already acting like boots on the ground against the regime.

        In this week’s KLW World News live video with Lee, Johnny and Jeff (after the US strikes on Iran began) there was a clip of an interview with John Bolton. He said that there was no indication that the Trump Admin was even talking to the Iranian opposition groups, or more importantly mid-level people in the regime who are fed up and willing to join the opposition if the right assurances are made. It sounds like the opposition is kind leaderless right now (as would be expected after the massive crackdown) and they need more political allies and guidance in order to effectively take over the government, which is not something that can be achieved by US air strikes alone. So the US is bombing the Ayatollahs, but it’s not doing anything else to ensure that a friendly pro-American opposition group takes over. Why? Has the Admin thought seriously about how regime change in Iran would unfold? How would it happen if best and most capable opposition leaders are already dead or in prison? And yet now Trump is putting the onus them to take down the regime with nothing but US air support. What is he doing, pushing for regime change with one hand but pulling away from it with the other? It’s very suspicious.

        Far from showing judgment and restraint in not “intervening too soon”, Trump was very impulsive and reckless. Well, either reckless or it was by design. What actually changed in the intervening weeks, that the US couldn’t strike Iran then then but can now go all out to force regime change? Many potentially capable opposition leaders are now dead, and trust in America’s promises has taken another hit. But has there been any positive change?

        1. And so what would have been the correct move? Say nothing instead of saying “help is on the way”? Or attack at that moment and potentially not be ready? Just trying to understand the logic here.

          1. Her logic is perfect. He should have kept his mouth shut and gotten everything in place before encouraging them to rise and promising help. And then acted swiftly with overwhelming, deadly force. It truly looks like he helped draw them out to be killed. What kind of true hearted leader in America has ever acted in such a way? How have we gotten to the place in America where such a boastful, reckless, ignorant man as Trump is revered as a hero? I just can’t. I think of some of my heroes: Lee, Jackson, Forrest, Stuart, Washington. Strong, virtuous men. Then think of Patton, Eisenhower, Teddy Roosevelt, etc. Would any of these true men have acted in such a manner? Nosir.

          2. I may have the chronology wrong, but didn’t they rise up before he said anything? Are we actually saying now that he is the initiating spark that galvanized them into action? That doesn’t even seem to jibe with the actual chronology.

          3. They have risen up at different times, it’s true. And surely would have again. But yet, his careless talk encouraged them to take more risks, expose themselves more. Regardless of what they were doing or did, it was the height of foolishness to promise help to spur them on, when nothing was in place to help them at that moment. Why do that? It’s utterly foolish. They are mostly unarmed. They were fighting with their bare hands

            30 thousand of them (if not more) were murdered by the Iranian communist terrorist regime because they too believed that Trump will send them weapons or invade the country – this in itself may have been purposely orchestrated by Moscow also to get rid of the main anticommunists who would otherwise hamper the “transition period” which will come in Iran when the US and Israel military is finished with the attack. Moscow is no doubt ready to step in and set up their already read crew which will take over the Ayatollah’s place….

      3. Historian,

        He could have just kept his mouth shut. At the very least, it was the height of irresponsibility, akin to that of a spoiled brat, to encourage them to rise up and promise help without being ready to act. A responsible person would have had everything ready *before* saying such a thing.

        And remember back when Israel was really putting it to Iran several months ago, it was Trump who pressured them to stop.

        Also, remember when Zelenskey tried to show him photographs of tortured pastors the Ukranian forces had rescued, Trump didn’t care. Didn’t want to look. Showed zero empathy.

        Trump is no good. I can’t see him in any other light.

        1. Most people, left or right, who dislike Trump, hate him with a totality that is pure and concentrated. A leftist I talked to recently said “it’s not about issues anymore, it’s about him”, and that’s what I feel like a lot of these conversations feel like. It’s really quite a marvel and a mystery to me sometimes, either he is uniquely evil or the anti-Trump propaganda is uniquely strong.

          1. Well, for what it’s worth, here’s how my thinking and feelings have evolved. I didn’t just automatically have a loathing of Trump as I do now.

            I was raised by my grandparents. Had two sets of great-grandparents alive, well, strong, and very active during my growing up years. My family was very closeknit and strong. I grew up seeing all my elders as heroes. They were hard working. Respectful. Honorable. Didn’t boast or try to look tough. They just were.

            I grew up in that kind of atmosphere, and I grew up reading about true heroes of our country such as the founding fathers, Southern generals and soldiers, WW1 and WW2 testimonials.

            Later discovered in my direct ancestry a man who was a confidant of George Washington. Ancestors who fought for the South, and earlier for the nation. In England, ancestors who were knights and fought in many battles and engagements. One who founded an order of knighthood.

            I say all that to show you the kind of men I grew up looking up to, and reading about.

            So, the first time Trump ran, I couldn’t get on the Trump Train so to speak, because his mouth really turned me off. His perverse wat of talking about grabbing women by their privates. His gambling operations that appealed to the vices in our society.

            And yet, I’m no complete fool. I voted for him because of how evil Hillary was/is.

            And, I admit that I was very excited when he won. My first thought upon realizing he had won, was that he’d better hit the ground running, because four years will be gone in the blink of an eye, and I knew that if he really worked, he would actually only be able to *begin* the process of turning things around. But then, he immediately went on a tour of all the states he won, boasting and rehashing his victory, and I *knew* in my gut and heart that he wasn’t going to really turn things around -that he really didn’t see the urgency of time.

            And yet, though disappointed, I stuck with him through that term, hoping for the best, and thankful for whatever was accomplished.

            But then, in a CPAC, or Turning Point USA or some such event, the people were chanting “Lock Her Up!”, about Hillary, and he looked embarrassed and got them to stop. And never went after the Clintons with the power of the law, though the entire nation knows the Clintons are traitors and criminals, and he had said he would go after them, as should be done in a just society and by a just man with the power to do so.

            And then, he didn’t stop the destructive BLM and Antifa riots, which he should have done whether the governors of those states asked him to or not.

            Finally, I completely lost respect when he invited people to be in DC on January 6th to save the nation from the Democrats stealing the election. I had a Parler account then, and distinctly remember reading his call for patriots to come. I almost went, but then started feeling like it might have been some sort of trap, and decided that if a fight started to take back the nation, it wouldn’t be accomplished overnight and everyone would have ample opportunity to do their duty.

            It was during this time that I found Mr. Nyquist’s work, and then Contemplative Observer and Trevor Loudon. It was during this time my eyes were turned to Communism, and thanks again to Mr. Nyquist and CO, I read Golitsyn and other books by Pacepa, Epstein, and others, and began to realize Trump could have been far worse than an irresponsible commander in chief who calls his people to fight for their nation, and then abandons them in the critical hour.

            And so, I continue reading these guys, and then find so many things about Trump, that -while we may not can prove with hard evidence- certainly can fit the description of a Communist tool, agent, or useful idiot.

            And knowing how weak, degraded, and corrupt the character of the political class in America is; how far from godly character and all that entails (honesty, work ethic, reverence, etc) many Americans have gone; how severely are military and industrial might have been hollowed out; etc, etc; and how his words have helped bring harm to many innocent Ukranians, and now -i believe- Iranians. I just can’t respect him at all. And I think he draws ite because he just will not shut his mouth. He continues to boast constantly. But of what? What trial by fire have we actually undergone to earn a victory that is truly glorious and honorable?

            And as a Christian who tries to faithfully read and follow God’s Word, I find so much in Scripture that show that a man such as Trump is a fool.

            I never had TDS. I’m as Conservative a person as you will find. I love my family, my area, my state, and my country and will die fighting for them if God lays it on me, as will many others I believe.

            But this man…I hold him in very low regard. But it was never that high to begin with.

            I merely thought he was the lesser of two evils. Now -in my mind- I’m convinced he’s no different than Hillary, Biden, Obama, or Kamala.

            He’s just thrown a few bones to Conservatives, and knows the right things to say to get them pumped

          2. And when I saw the call he issued to be in Washington DC on the 6th of January, I had a real internal battle deciding whether or not to go. My trust in Trump had already been shaken, but I felt that this may be the time to really fight for our nation as many had long felt the day was coming.

            But, I got to thinking about how many Huguenots were lured to Paris and massacred, and started thinking that a similar thing could happen in DC. I also thought, that if I was in a crowd of hundreds of thousands, and fighting broke out, it would be absolute chaos, and I certainly don’t know that area or the people who live there at all, so it would have been foolish to put oneself there. But it was a true battle between a feeling of duty for the country, obedience to a (what I knew was a very flawed) Commander-in-Chief’s summons to stand up for our country; and common sense/instinct that it wasn’t wise and may have been a trap.

            But when he abandoned the people who did show up….I lost what little respect I still had. And since then -in my eyes- he has betrayed many more such as Ukranians and Iranians, and needlessly provoked our allies while flattering our enemies. Would Washington or Lincoln or Teddy Roosevelt have rolled out the red carpet for such as Putin? Have said Jinping and Putin are good leaders? Have hosted Ahmed Al Sharaa _a murdering terrorist of the lowest order- in the White House? Would they have attacked and berated Zelenskey if he was their guest? No sir. They wouldn’t have.

            These are just my feeble thoughts, feelings, and reasonings. I’m not all knowing, I don’t even know a third as much as many of you who comment here. But I know what I believe. I know what the Bible teaches. I know the kind of men in my family whom I have looked up to. Some fought in WW2. Some in Korea. And afterwards they took good care of their families and gave to their communities.

            And I’ve always been pretty hard headed, lol.

            In my eyes, Trump is the worst sort of man. If he’s always loved America so much, why wouldn’t he serve in the military when his country called…*five times*?

          3. I didn’t finish my thought where I referred to the degradation of the political class; decline of godly character among the people; and the hollowing out of our industrial and military power. I meant to say, that when I see all this, and then repeatedly hear Trump say we are entering/are in a Golden Age, I know he is either delusional or consciously lying.

            But, I see how it can rub you the wrong way to see several of us speak harshly of him whenever the subject comes up, because I sometimes feel bad that I am speaking this way of an American president. Because I know I am supposed to pray for him (and I sometimes do, but not like I should), and I know I’m not a political or military person, and that is not my lane. And it may sound defeatist to you.

            But, I assure you, it’s not defeatist. My hope, trust, and confidence has never been in a man, especially the caliber we have in our political/business/entertainment (I guess Trump can fit into all three) class today.

            The only thing that made America great was the blessing of God on a people largely of godly character. No man can bring that back.

            I’m over the voting in my precinct, and I remember my fellow poll workers being upset and dumbfounded when people would come in and vote for Kamala. (We’re not supposed to see the way they vote, but many people seem to need help putting their ballot in the machine, and others don’t will sit down and mark the ballot right in front of you without putting up the privacy screen, so you can’t help but see quite a few of the ballots. Plus, they have to get either a Democrat or Republican ballot )

            My fellow poll workers would look at me in disbelief when people would walk out after having voted Democrat, and sat, “don’t they understand what they are voting for?”, and I would calmly tell them that we didn’t get in the situation we’re in overnight, but that it’s been developing for a long time. And so now we have Trump, the current culmination of these many years of degeneration (to my mind.)

            He’s just a symptom -a visual representation- of what ails us, for many of us are revering him as the lines of George Washington or Abraham Lincoln or some great man, when he does not have the character or qualities of a great man as we have traditionally hailed as great in America and the West.

            He’s a lightning rod to some of us here, because his mouth never stops, but everything he says rings hollow (to us.)

            I think many find themselves feeling forced to defend him, because no one else is in the horizon.

            But to me, *no one* is on the horizon as the leader we need, but there is One coming…

          4. …though we may go through hell in America before He comes

          5. You talked a lot about boasting there, never once about the border, oil and energy production, Americanism, the virtually guaranteed dictatorship that would have occurred had he lost, etc..

          6. As for the border, I have questions. One, is it truly shut down? That’s a long border. Is it possible that enemies are still crossing in more rural, less publicized points? And we have so many enemies already within our borders, and there are so many inconsistencies…one glaring inconsistency is the fact that after Trump blew on for awhile about getting the Chinese “students”, many of whom are spies for the CCP, out of the country, he later informed us that he had struck some great deal with Jinping, and that the students could stay and continue to come, *which (he said), he had never had a problem with.*

            Question two that I have on that line, is we *know* that the Muslim “religion” is antithetical to American ideals and the Constitution. Why did he woo the mayor of Dearborn, Michigan? Why aren’t we rounding up and deporting Muslims and many Chinese? There are so many millions of foreigners here, we can’t possibly get them all out in 4 (now 3) years, so why not start with the ones who have the highest potential concentration of our enemies?

            Oil. From what I can tell, we haven’t yet ramped up production.

            Americanism. What exactly do you mean by that? To unjustly provoke our allies; to undermine a nation and it’s leader who are fighting for their survival against our common enemy; to treat people like Ahmed Al Sharaa and Putin as welcomed guests. This is not Americanism.

            To get Kid Rock and some Country singers on stage to shoot fireworks and say how America is the greatest -what is this but entertainment.

            Our forefathers swore their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to each other upon signing the Declaration of Independence. In contrast, Trump takes in money from his “patriotism”. He promises us that we’re going to be “so rich.”

            Brother, it just doesn’t add up to me. None of it. It seems shallow, cheap, false .

            I’ve said it before, but I loved America long before Trump wrapped himself in the flag and put his brand on it.

            It doesn’t look to me like we’re out of the woods yet, and maybe some persecution would have jarred us out of our illusions. A worse thing that could be is to be put to sleep by a skilled showman before the deathblow comes to the nation, but I’m speaking out of turn here, for I’m certainly no prophet.

          7. Historian,

            It’s clear that you are a very smart man, and you probably know more history than I do. And from what you say, I gather that you are a believer.

            Just considering the “Golden Age”, Trump insists we are in. Do you not agree that such an age comes on the back of an honorable, principled, self-sacrificing generation? Not just because some guy stands up and declares we are in one.

            This has not preceded our current situation.

            Trump was an entertainer. He knows how to give the crowd what it wants; how to say what the crowd wants to hear. And so, he does.

            And I know you realize the immense work ethic and work it took to build us into the strongest industrial power for a while. And I know you realize how decimated our industry has become over the past few decades, and how people with honesty and a good work ethic are difficult to find nowadays. And the quality of education is severely lacking. You’ve got to realize that this cannot be remedied overnight, or in one or two or five years, but would take several years -maybe a couple of generations to rebuild. Is it not deceptive or delusional to say or believe that we are in a Golden Age?

            And as far as I can tell, nothing much has changed. Groceries haven’t come down in my area. Powe bills are still as high as they’ve ever been. Gasoline has come down some -not drastically. Those things certainly aren’t Trump’s fault, but to tell the lie that we are in a Golden Age is on him.

          8. Historian,

            Compare him to the men in your life and history that you have revered and wanted to be like. Men you know you would follow into any danger because their character -while certainly not flawless- was definitely honest and virtuous. Does Trump even come close to being that kind of man? If not, then how have we let ourselves come to where we believe he is?

            I don’t think any less of you if you want to regard him in the light of a good leader. And I know you don’t care what someone you don’t even know thinks. But, I’ve got a Lord and a Book, and a whole pile of good men from history and my own life that have shown me such good examples, that I can only regard Trump as a counterfeit.

          9. I voted for him, but I can see that he is a very bad man.

        2. This is how I also see Trump.

    Does Jeffrey Nyquist think Moscow might be using Trump to attack Iran as a distraction? and trump is being used?

    1. I don’t think so, but there are many odd things happening.

    Jeffrey nyquist do you think trump can be acting independently in doing this? and the fall of iran could really hinder moscow and china?

    1. The fall of Iran would hinder Moscow and China. Yes.

      I just have vibes of wag the dog on Iran after the Epstein affair… I think Trump is telegraphing the KGB to not ef with him with that, imo.

      Meanwhile democrats want more opening of the files, supposedly, trying a fishing expedition…. They want something on Trump or on the other party, something small and off topic enough which can turn into enough social mass to completely bury their own responsibility in this.

      As a matter of fact, Epstein seems to be the tip of the iceberg of Democrat illegal NGO charity at the border exploiting children. Planned parenthood is pretty much a tax payer funded Epstein counterpart industry, ie the very evil waters carrying the evil shark Epstein swimming in it…. Ie. that Epstein would be like on a teenager scale a sadistic case of widespread torture of neighborhood pets which would ignore all the slaughterhouses around doing the killing anonymously and “ professionally” with machines or some AI bot not involving the human hand.

      This is what is sinister in these cover ups, this culture that democrats are fine with and which they stand above with a fishing pole to pick whomever they know they can fish out, able to accuse any citizens. All this massive spornography that is even published at a loss is obviously pushed from abroad and from unscrupulous cults in the West.

    Or are we really doomed and no matter what we do they will destroy the USA and we will all suffer the consequences?

    1. There are no certainties in war. A good strategy, with success, can accomplish many things. Is America doomed no matter what? No.

      On a realistic historical serious basis, one can compare Hollywood to Bollywood. Bollywood movies are under no illusion that the good guy sometimes must die and the bad guy triumph along with great suffering for it to cause the sort of beserking that wakes the forces of good to thrash evil in the end.

      America somehow lacks that cultural attachment and co-intelligence to understand… is like it feels numb out here. Like we have been conditioned to not care. This Epstein thing is additional demoralization material to dull senses and normalize evil, to be ok with it and not get upset at being bombed or having inner cities go down, numbed to black on black crime … is a terrible feeling.

      America tends to jump to solve problems, which is both a blessing and a curse for an America that tends to shoot itself in the foot as a result. Indeed, the mere fact of thinking of things in terms of probelm to solve tends to create those problems, in a sort of quantum mechanical manner. America thus unfortunately never asks itself why things are going right when they go right. It is like a military psychiatrist who probably could learn more about what some troops do right to avoid PTSD and war fatigue on their own, letting them in to explain him, instead of sitting there at his office waiting for a failing soldier he will have to fix somehow using some abstract research and seeking answers from the wrong guy. The problem is when there is no problem in fact. A lot of nations are picking up on that. The Palestinian fraud picked up on that, but ever so awkwardly, by attacking jews and creating themselves and jews as a “problem” . So, I am not so much worried about problems Russia and China could cause, in so much as the fraud it could cause. To be honest, China as a rising power is due to a fraud operation by the CCP, exploiting this idea of swallowing their own pride a bit about communism’s failure and begging the US. The Chinese have even been smarter than Russians about this.

      So, the issue is not so much the content of war and conflict, but the container, the toxic political container. It is a bit like when Christ said: there will be wars and rumors of war… However the important piece to focus on is the metamorphosis of the world, one initiated by evil forces of dilution and breakdown, much like a drug overdose being meant to make the patient awaken in a new social place refashion him from ground up.

      Thus, poltically, things happen to be much ado about nothing, ie not a problem, just some item not in its usual place we had forgotten about. A bit of perusal and question about who and what that or those people are in actuality would allow to place them where they are happy, all without need of ideological thinking of equality etc that can only cause more confusion and conflict. You simply do not tell someone who is stranded on a strange island that he needs more equality with the current inhabitants, just that he needs a boat to get back to where he was happy. In other words, it is a non sequitur that is ideologically manipulated into a problem needing a solution. This is a main reason for this illegal immigration. We are not happy with them and they obviously are not too happy here, in a process of acculturation and eternal stranding like Palestinian forever refugees trafficked by leftists and reformed new slavery Democrat losers playing teachers and sex gurus for the same blacks they abused in the past…

      So, I think, in a kind of irony, and kind of like wirh jewish people too, the more people create problems, the more America has a job. The dangerous issue is putting America to sleep, as if there was no problem when there are problems being created. This is denial, not intelligent way of seeing a situation. Similarly, the jewish religion has always been an extremely tenuous and disappearing factor of confederation for a set of clans, but the sheer fact of antisemites making a big deal out of it has reinforced that which was tying those clans only very informally and loosely to the point of being no factor at all. So, there again, something that was resettling itself to the point of making the jewish religion and discipline moot and pointless, has ironically been destabilized again for harboring at cosmetic levels the very feature it was losing in the first place.

      This is very peculiar and not accidental. This is an obvious “love bombing” and “hate fomenting” hot cold type treatment jewish people receive time and again from an abusive left.

      Suffice to say, peace is possible. 30,000 years of virtually zero trace of conflict among Australian Aborignes and even invading neighbor islanders tell us that it is possible, although it requires quite the ascetic lifestyle in an isolated area where discipline is quite harsh, even punishment of death for missing out on key ritual lessons ensuring an upkeep of principles of tribeman placement principle in careful ways. We are talking about mere simple conversations that completely avoid a war where it was very likely but where an observer would have not seen the potential for it, misunderstanding them for being peaceful people which they were not. They just had a system to avoid war in a paradoxical reason that they could be terrifying fierce warriors if need be and did handle weaponry, although never to a technological level needed beyond ritual or symbolics.

      The thing is, right now, no one has a real good discipline and heart to try to live in a form of intelligence. The Epstein shtick seems to be a systematic alienation and manufactore of aloof schziophrenia cultivating a lack of interest in peace and in actual intelligence with others.

      Epstein affair is one of those Horsemen like things of the Apocalypse. The ethnic disorder of schizophrenia attaining critical mass, the risk of implosion is quite real at a certain threshold and some out there have decided there is no way back.

    2. God said “be not afraid”. Fear alters the spiritual state. There is magic that is possible when one is fearless, look at Charlie Kirk, his power became so great they had to murder him. The Communists, and by extension the dark spirits behind them, use fear as a central strategy. They gain power they shouldn’t even have simply by inducing fear. Not from guns, or missiles, or tanks, but the audacity of bombastic threats and human psychology. When we shift into a state of fear, there are capabilities and possibilities within the “quantum realm” or the higher realm that become shut off. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. This is not even to say that if we are all fearless, that victory is guaranteed, but that if we are all fearful, defeat IS guaranteed. Fearlessness merely opens the box to the higher powers and the realm of the divine to work through us, but ultimately, “victory” is not defined as literal military victory over darkness. Even Jesus succumbed temporarily to the forces of darkness. The Bible says that the Earth is given over to evil, completely, for a time. The battle for humans is against despair and against fear, regardless of the earthly outcome. We are in the correct space when we are content with the outcome, as long as we do our correct part. It is not whether we die, but how we die, that matters.

      1. Oh, Man, this is so good: God said “be not afraid”.
        Mr Historian, I want us to be friends. Again, you did it! Most often Words by JC: “be not afraid”. Bravo!

        1. Thank you for your kind words, Kabod. I have wondered about the thousand years in Bible prophecy when the devil is “loosed”. It is difficult to understand.

          1. 1000 years. Exactly a Theme i hear about from a friend. There are 2 explanations. First suggestion : a thousand years before evil rules all (up until now). Only now we may be entering another thousand years of Goodness, less evil. I see it as we WILL clean off the remnants of marxist degeneracy completely and world will become SO MUCH BETTER.

            Another 1 thousand years is : a suggestion that we only live in the 1st thosand years AD, another thousand in 2026 is a fabrication. Its only 1026.

            So, first 1000 AD satan rules all, second 1000 AD Christ rules on. For balance? ))

            I suppiose its is foreseeing the inevitability of marxist pandemia and the aftermath, just from the DESIGN of Human we may see that it was possible to have this volnurability: marxism delirium or how we call it

          2. “2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

            3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.”

            It is very confusing, but it seems like it happens after the mark of the beast, after the tribulation. Revelation is a confusing book.

          3. It is like a sipher of sorts, but this seems to be obvious ly regarding communist attempts to destroy HUmanity:

            set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more,

        I’ve heard it said that the more we trust God, the more He gives.

  16. I’m really skeptical about Trump really solving issues in the international arena when it comes to this Iranian question going on right now. It seems very clear that he’s a man who just wants a quick-fix that won’t really address the fundamental issues at play, he just wants to claim victory ASAP, a PR exercise. Some people were talking on X that there’s some plan from the White House to negotiate a transition of the Iranian command to a man named Ali Larijani, who’s a part of the Revolutionary Guard, in other words, seems like the Trump Administration wants another Venezuela deal where you take one man out of the spotlight but nothing changes for real, it’s glorified make up. Trump doesn’t want to really save lives, he just wants whatever shortcut will get him prizes and honor, but life is not about taking shortcuts.

    There’s a certain irony in Trump wanting a Nobel Peace Prize while he refuses to condemn Russia’s war crimes let alone do anything meaningful to prevent the loss of human life that is happening in Ukraine right now, despite talking often about how deadly the war is. There are times in history when there’s this calling for a man to rise above the crowd and be a major figure in history. Some could say Churchill was fundamental for the British to resist Hitler for example. Today the world is begging for a leader to say it like it is, to say that what the Kremlin is doing in Ukraine is purely barbaric and savage. Putin bombs the elderly waiting in line to get their money and there’s not a peep from the White Hourse. It’s rather strange, because when Trump ran for his first term, he was known for talking what people were afraid to voice due to backlash for lack of political correctness. But now he pretends what’s going on there is a normal war, talks about how Zelensky and Putin hate each other (as if that was the real issue over there), but he and his administration have never ever condemned a single war crime Russia has committed. The world needs a leader who will claim that Russia is still the “empire of evil” but it’s evident Trump will never be that person, he still wants to be treated and awarded prizes as this courageous imaginary figure though.

    1. Exactly!

      And it’s very telling to me, that he’s never thrown his support behind Prince Pahlavi, even though that is the rightful ruler of Iran, and who the people seem to want.

      I guarantee it will be someone our enemies have already picked for the position. The Ayatollah was what, 86 years old? Maybe they decided to insert new leadership under the guise of it looking like Trump liberated the Iranian people and allowed them to install the leader they wanted?

      1. CONCERNED Avatar
        CONCERNED

        Trump is the alleged Krasnov, so he is not making decisions what should be done and to what extent, and so the initial statement and analysis about him, as ideologically aligned with the Kremlin run communist cause worldwide, is as accurate as ever. He will only do what is in harmony or rather to say, what they see as in harmony with the overall communist strategy to take over the whole world…and Moscow is in charge of that, nobody else.

      2. I’ve been wondering if that was one of the outcomes Moscow had in mind when they directed the Ayatollah regime to try to start war with the US. The Trump admin is generally getting on well with other Russia-friendly states, with Iran being a notable exception. Maybe that had to change?

        There may be some parallels with the Syrian situation. Assad’s Syria was a long time Russian client state, and yet the regime was deleted in the blink of an eye with Russia not even bothering to lift a finger to keep it from falling. Just like the Ayatollahs, the bloody Assad regime was seemingly impossible to dislodge from power. And yet out of nowhere, Assad was deleted and a new “democratic” opposition group took over Syria. Russia didn’t lose anything in Syria, according to Trevor Loudon it still controls and influences the new government just as much as the old one. The only difference is that Syria is no longer a pariah state, with Western governments (Trump’s being one of the first) rushing to hail the new leader as a democratic reformist and to re-establish trade and international relations with Syria. Is that where things in Iran could be heading? Will Iran be trading in the Ayatollahs for a new Moscow-approved “democratic” reformer, now that the real Iranian opposition has been decimated? If that’s the case, then a newly unsanctioned Iran flush with new Western trade deals and having plenty of cash thanks to its assets being unfrozen could be a vital lifeline for Russia’s sinking economy. Just one possible outcome. If the plan to close the Strait of Hormuz and inflict economic pain on all the countries dependent on Middle Eastern oil doesn’t work, there is another way out for Russia that could be just as beneficial.

        1. Good points! It was sickening to me when Trump hosted Ahmed Al sharaa in the White House. Another murdering terrorist, just like Putin. Remember the videos of the mass murdering of the Alawites last year?

          You’re right. Trump rushes in where angels fear to tread.

    2. Operation “Epstein Fury”? Anyone?

      1. Yes!

    3. I would say incorrect, Trump wants someone he can control, who will slowly implement changes in the government to transition it to a more democratic state. The alternative is boots on the ground or another faction he doesn’t control. If you do not go in with troops, then how do you run things? It is a massive country with a massive government, you think you just hold elections today and everything is fixed? He wants the power to dictate things on the ground, he wants a puppet, which is exactly what Russia had there before. It is a smart play and the correct play, assuming I’m correct. But you also have to use your puppet to reform the system quickly, especially before he leaves office. But for right now all he wants is control over the government.

      1. !!!exactly what Russia had there before!! Yes, most brilliant and correct. We re-aquiring Iran, as it is suposed to be. Fair is fair. It is time. All good. God Speed.

      2. I read that one of the things that went wrong in Iraq was that we removed too much government too fast. That left a vacuum that was filled by those against us. If true, that would indicate why we should go more slowly.

        1. It was the failure to capture the Iraqi army which could have been turned around and used for civil order.

      3. Why do you think Trump wants a puppet leader in Iran, and when has he ever said something like that? Taking the Venezuelan “regime change” as precedent, he’s very pleased with Delcy Rodriguez as the new president and she’s certainly no American puppet. As any openly communist leader, she’s very anti-Trump and anti-America when speaking to Venezuelan audiences. There were no meaningful reforms and the government still goes after political opponents, but according to Trump all is well because they want to do business with the US.

        And why is the alternative American boots on the ground? The Iranian people were already acting as boots on the ground, and Trump betrayed them at a crucial moment. He may well have gotten their best leaders killed in the “help is on the way” fiasco, and* now* he tells them it’s their one and only chance to do a regime change. How? Is the US at least planning to give them weapons if the regime starts massacring them again? What about logistical, financial and political support?

        1. Exactly

        2. They were already in the streets, is the logic that Trump should have said nothing and they would have gone home and waited? If Delcy is allowing American oil firms to take the oil, is that not already a small concession? Wasn’t there news about them freeing prisoners as well? What is the claim exactly, that Trump has no control over Delcy and is being humiliated?

          1. Remember, Putin said the Russian presence in Venezuela isn’t going anywhere.

          2. Yes, but wasn’t there a story that said a key demand of Trump to Delcy was to kick out the Chinese and Russians? I agree that will be a key litmus test, but even if that happened, I’m sure people would just move on to the next thing. Every action of his helps Russia. Even deposing two of their puppets and taking control of Venezuelan oil.

          3. Maybe he said it, but talk is so cheap, and Trump has added so much talk to our world, the bottom has fallen out on the price, lol

    It is all so terrible, what is happening to the children. In light of this, it feels especially dark that Russia has taken almost 20,000 Ukrainian children.
    If these children still have relatives, then their families may try to bring them back to Ukraine. But if they are orphans (and Russia has done a lot to make sure many children became orphans), then no one is held accountable for them. No one reports on what happens to them. The children can end up in very bad conditions.

    On February 26, there was a closed online meeting with Valery Solovey where he shared his insider information. I attended and took some notes. Chat-GPT helped to translate them. From this, you can understand how the Russian leadership sees the situation from inside (if we trust Valeriy Solovey as a source) and what they are planning to do next. There are several possible scenarios.

    “At the moment, negotiations are taking place involving Ukraine, Russia, and the United States. For a peace agreement to be signed, Ukraine would have to give up the remaining part of the Donetsk region. Zelensky refuses to do this.
    Russia’s oil revenues have fallen. The budget deficit is large. It is becoming impossible to continue paying combat salaries. There is a shortage of manpower. If military actions are not stopped by summer, there will be a serious decline in the standard of living in Russia.
    How does the Politburo intend to prevent this crisis?
    Plan A. The Politburo is trying to negotiate the lifting of sanctions. The Americans have said they are prepared to ease sanctions even without signing a formal peace agreement. The purpose of this would be to put pressure on President Zelensky.
    If sanctions are not lifted, China will step in. There is an unofficial understanding that China is prepared to provide Russia with a massive credit line so that Russia can purchase dual-use goods from China for military purposes and intensify the war, if peace is not achieved and sanctions remain in place.
    Another option under consideration is the freezing of bank deposits — the “Cyprus scenario.” Citizens’ deposits would be converted into bank shares. Russians would be told: you are no longer free riders; you are now partners. This would allow banks to cover their debt obligations. However, dividends would not be accessible quickly for several years, and shares could not be sold for three to five years. This indicates expectations of a prolonged and severe crisis in the Russian Federation. The plan to freeze deposits is reportedly scheduled for April. A ban on Telegram is also planned for April.
    Plan B. If Zelensky does not sign a peace agreement, military operations will not stop but will intensify.
    If by April no peace agreement is signed and no ceasefire declared, Russia has a decree — possibly already signed — on additional mobilization. It is expected that this mobilization order could take effect on April 16. The preparation of this decree may also serve as a tool of pressure on the Ukrainian leadership and on the United States, encouraging them to take a tougher position with Zelensky.
    If not in April, then in early summer. This mobilization is technically ready. Borders would be closed. Bank cards and driving licenses could be blocked.
    In that case, Ukraine would also require further mobilization.
    The second element would be a sharp intensification of military actions. A second front would also be opened — in the Baltic states. It would begin as a hybrid operation, followed by the use of military force, or possibly both simultaneously. The American leadership has reportedly been informed. It does not object to this and, according to signals conveyed to the Kremlin, would even welcome it. One might suspect this to be a trap, but after conducting their own assessments and probing, Russian officials concluded that it is not an American trap. The United States would block any active NATO intervention.
    Without an end to the military operations, the situation would deteriorate sharply. In that case, the European Union and NATO would no longer be able to help Ukraine. They would prioritize their own security concerns and withdraw assistance to Ukraine. This is Russia’s calculation.
    Reality may change these outcomes, but this is what Russia is planning.”

    Any thoughts?

    1. Russia is child-trafficking central. Yes.

    2. So Russia would freeze their citizens bank accounts, mobilize more of them, and they think this would go great with how their economy already is?

      1. They seem to be determined on a war mobilization. People do not need to eat well. They do not need consumer goods. You can live the way they live in North Korea. You can fight for the Motherland. Would the West match that mobilization? Would they defeat it with technology? I do not know. But this seems to be the path they are taking. Perhaps they will change course if we win here in Iran.

        1. This would still mark a drastic transition in the overall lives of the Russian citizenry, no? It seems the Party had been trying to insulate them from the war somewhat by emptying the prisons, using foreign mercenaries, etc.. and it also seems they had been attempting to provide some bare minimum of economic sustenance. This is different from North Korea where all are slaves, and openly, and treated worse than dogs. Perhaps they continue this gradient strategy where they try to protect their most ardent regime supporters and to lay the burden most greatly on those most distant from the regime. But it still creates economic pressures and societal pressures to my eyes. If you say the answer is that they attempt to revert to a full Soviet-style control of the population, then I can see that, but it is still a transition.

          1. It seems that direction towafrds North korea regime will not be a main stream direction there. Your arguments are valid. The regime will need ANOTHER move. The structure of THIS regime is based on permanent wars on perimeter and more. Now we observe that they FAILED with Ukraine. This effectively already killed political regime. Now they need a change. Stepashin still there, an architecht of union faked break up, so the gang is waiting on his final word. We estimate this will be FROM FEDERATION TIO CONFEDERATION with puting the blame for all failures on putin-хуйло. Makes sense?

          2. They are doing this transition now, though it might fail and they might back off. The next months will show whether they can follow through on their plan. Often it happens that they retreat and try another strategy.

            Historian, you are obviously from a different part of the world. In Russia historically there were 50% slaves and 50% guards to slaves. It’s all there in the genes. Putin has nothing to worry about.

          3. Yes, obviously I’m from different place, but it still seems like a transition to me to go from the post-1989 “liberalization” back to full-scale Soviet slavery.

            And I didn’t know the ratio of guards to slaves was that even, I thought it was far less guards.

            The ratio is more like symbolic. But as I said before, Stalin did not kill every single one of the millions of his victims. There were enough of lower level people to do the dirty work.

          5. Yes, the evil brilliance of the Marxist method is to convince two people who are free that one should oppress the other, and that both should serve the Communists. Defeating a nation by turning half into oppressors who oppress the other half.

          6. One will always find such people.

    Osiris had a similar cult to the Aztek and which was similar to the cult of Demeter/Adonis and that of Dagan in Levantine area.

    Basically the theory is that they were cults of longevity and quality of grain. Back then fertility was not a problem, however, while wild seeds like humans were easily produced or born, the amount of chaff was much greater than wheat gathered.

    However they discovered that the seeds which for some reason did not germinate around the burried dead happened to germinate much later and produced much greater yield. Somehow a process of polyamine during decomposition became a sort of hormonal treatment of those seeds. Now, some hormones can kill. Agent Orange is such growth hormone whose violence on plant metabolism dries them up faster than they can absorb resources. So, depending on the dead or his health, or which organ was used for treatment, the results were more or less good.

    So they found that spinal fluid and brain matter were most favorable. Osiris is thus represented as a pillar or serpent and desciption of wheat stalk growing on him are on hieroglyphs. These seeds were not meant for consumption and agriculture at first, but for rituals and special bread making. In fact, bread was invented after wheat was improved like this. So, this fast forwards to Jesus saying this is my flesh. He is not wrong at all. Modern wheat might be a sort of hybrid with human fluid treatment, if not indirectly genetic at least. The hormones affected genetic messaging in the seed and changed the genetic itself after 3 generations of treatment.

    Azteks thus were known to pour the sacrificed blood on their own corn for similar reasons. They did not wait for an old priest to die like in Osiris fashion. This was a cult of longevity and domesricarion of wheat. Most of the prisoners of the Azteks were thus these slaves they picked from the jungle, and some victims who admired the Azteks rising in domestic civilization were willing victims too, believing it was a sacrifice enhancing the seeds and allowing them to reincarnate later into domesricated higher Aztek beings themselves.

    That bread of eucharist is thus a sort of totemic intermediary containing the essences of Christ’s domestication of a wild humanity through his blood and flesh in the bread and wine we eat, passing back the treatment to us so as to make better people out of ourselves without ever having to use other people for this reincarnation improvement.

    Enter the world of the occult and science so called which aims to make “super-beings”. The idea is that Jesus is obsolete, holding us back, that we can use science to improve grain and people beyond even that Christ had in mind. Except the people doing this stuff are not right in their brain for the most part. They are specialists in the technical domain, but in the social domain they are an ethnic disorder basket cases. Knowing them by their fruits, one must thus question the quality of their products and their intentions in it.

    To me it is arrogant and satanic, and also in line with this UFO cult which is a psychological operation of amnesia and self hate as Earthlings. In the Epstein cult there is something degrading, cynical, even worse than the Aztecks themselves in a sense of the utter disrespect of the victims and their state of hopelessness, and the cowardly trckstery approach in it. There is in it an abject disregsrd of consent and an usurpation of authority, an acculturated arrogance beyond bounds along with cukt of euthanasia which, after the one of abortion, has become more than a right but a conditioning.

    The fact is that nowadays a vast proprotion of women have become evil for that reason, completely conditioned. That hysteria she is talking about sounds very much like someone who had abortions and is now ethnically disordered into denial about having commited murder and sacrifices herself. The intention in her secret self when she did it is what matters and is what creeps me the most these days with this soddomitic situation of women who keep turning around into pillars of ideological salt each time a man opens his mouth about abortion upsetting him.

    And what does salt pillars as opposed to bone marrow pillars do? It kills the grain, it eradicates. There is no holy thankful ritual coming out of their funerals, rites meant to show the vital force of God iin man through shaman like return of quality life given to improve nature around, something completely anti-Darwinian.

    In fact, it all is about conditioning, this “good cop” devil talk which rationalizes everything which suggests people to make the wrong decisions, to worry about the wrong things and to ignore the real issues. The whole thing is a global takeover and enslavement test.

    Dishonoring past victims and past contributions, however these contributions look ill earned, is what the ultimate goal of the blackmailer is, this communist fiend who would guilt the entire humanity from continuing on forgiven so long it now stops doing horrid stuff.

    1. I did not know baby brains make seeds better. Hmmm.

      1. 😂

  20. Jeff, have you seen the email from Epstein where he talks admiringly about a Black Mirror episode. In the episode, a man is conditioning a girl to be a slave. He does something with her perception of time where an hour seems like a week or something. He does this until she becomes compliant. Epstein loved this episode. It is another trend with this idea of slave conditioning.

      A lot of synchronic hierarchy is suggested through diachronic hierarchy. Setting the tempo of things is just as important as having a say in what or how they look like.

      In fact, Karl Marx’s “black magic” I believe is founded on that.

      When Marx says that capitalist debauchery would yield socialism and then scientific socialism, ie communism, he was not describing a legitimate process or history at all. He was suggesting to those listening that communism was synchronically the dominant caste/factor through a fake diachronic spiel of his version of the Bible’s “In the beginning… “. His version, however, was Darwinian of sort, ie this assumption that the past was backwards by “virtue” of being the past.

      You hear it everyday these barbarians say that “this is 2026, come on, we dont do those things anymore, we have tablets, we are advanced” and all of them saying that are idiots who cannot follow a cooking recipe. This new expert historicism, that because you saw the latest news first you know more about it than the next guy who actually predicted the psychological Operation is quite frustrating.

      Everything becomes canned and bureaucratized that way, everything a non thinking slave with bizarre era and time percetpions. The Chinese emperor was the callendar maker. It is clear that suggesting time and eras and when to do things and when they happen is extremely powerful control. China was not only the empire of the middle of the Earth, but of the time cycle’s orbit.

      1. I think that he “predicted” communism for various reasons: predicting something in the future reduces cognitive resistance because it feels natural and expected; predicting something will happen in the future also is essentially similar to a prophecy and has religious overtones; additionally, framing something that you want to do (insurrection) as something that will “just happen” allows you to talk about it without having to take accountability for it.

        Marx also had to invent the notion of dialectical history in order to explain why he was even talking about binaries in the first place, and justify his teaching of pitting two opposites against each other. It is arguably one of his most vulnerable points, yet he had to do it in order to justify what he really wanted to do. There is no evidence that societies evolve according to his stupid “primitive communism > feudalism > capitalism > socialism” etc… but creating that stupid idea allowed him to teach dividing societies up into two poles, and also to “predict” that insurrection would occur in the future.

          The binary aspect I suppose marks another meta-duality opposition which is the old one of Trinity in One vs duality itself, a sort of final battle. Note that the Russian Orthodox is based in fanaticism for arbitrariness temptation in duality after the schism, even more so than the post-Bizantine Levantine and Greeks were sanguine about it. This has to do with culture. Northern cold climate Algonkian and Inuits base their relationships in the importance of opposing production vs. ownership based clanic system. In winter, hunting production primes, in the summer ownership of a field for women to gather primes. In winter dialectics occured between those clans claiming to own hunting territory but with their own ability to harvest as hunters such loose colonial territory thus withheld for the group to survive being put into question.

          And what do we see Putin do? He clings. And what does he count on? Productiion being enslaved and subservient. A good general in Russia and its mafia does not last very long. China had decided on Yin and Yang, female Yin for summer, winter Yang for men. And what happens also in winter? Less to do and thus more festivities and more opportunity for religion, as well as more opportunities for hunting or shamanic offering of old hunter blood to wild animals for sake of next winter’s game and flora improvement. I will let speculation on the wolf , bear and Siberian tiger ‘s beserker aspect float on that matter.

          In better climates women actually provided 80% of the food stuff and men were quite dependent, and so tribal interdependence and negotiation was more amenable to discussions in groups. Allegedly Australia is an isolated laboratory where 30,000 years worth of archeology has not unearthed any evidence of organized warfare, ie where communism and dialectics are not a thing to the consternation of Marxist anthropologues neo-missionaries who scoured the world for the evidence of Marxist “god things” universality and verifying Marx’s theory in the world, as you say, the past feudality aspect. No, instead, there the religious aspect was the unifying and negotiating aspect, not the instigating aspect of war and mobilization as Marxists are adament about.

          This is notwithstanding that it was not the point of Marx. Marx knew that duality was a made up thing to provoke, a poison to put in the water, a divide to rule, not a natural thing emanating from feudality as he based all his theory on defamation and projection of his own paranoia and failures on society. It is not new, all psyops since at least Napoleon, the French revolution even, are based in this.

          This is not because some people like the Aborigenes or women are more discussion oriented, it is because within the production improvement scheme men offered to help, socially and technologically, both. Basically woman as personified by Demeter was center of production that man’s sweat and blood would have to complete in fulfillment. The sacrifice cult to Baccus that went out of hand in Roman times was a destabilization frenzy in the shape of power usurpation and subversion, unconsciously defaming the emperor and the Romans who had as all tribes an intuition of social contract and morality similar to the 10 commendments. The Menades were only meant to go into an empowered agitation and frenzy in the dead of winter, not to turn the cult of Dionysus into an imperialism of time and attention throughout the year. Similarly in the middle east they sill have women sleeping on their own on Thursday with demons. Others call it man love thursday for that reason that men are then at peace. Sounds familiar? These kinds of management are tolerated when under control, but some want to market it 24-7 in a sort of cultural imperialism, ie one of the self and me in particular (ie. not to confuse with empire itself which does not have a preference for any cult or kingdom or self but is a flexible styled cultural layer above the other layers which themselves have own sublayers and families).

          Complementarity was also thrown in the lot as a “concept” emanating in real terms from the situation, and not just from the abstract. These were very concrete cults.This goes back to the cults of using sweat of the baker and blood in the field in order to genetically like improve the essence of the next crops. It is a social ritual exchange package inserted between production and ownership, one making a mediation, a “weakening” in the duality tension. Woman was bound to recognize that effort and its benefit, politically and psychologically in terms of virility, what not.

          Dagan was the god of “ agricultural” hybrids (not agriculture oriented but “technopoeitics” according to this Lebanese biologist), the social aspect, while Yahweh was of technological-social metal smithing for agricultural tools, same tools which were used in the cult of Dagan to ceremonially cut the wheat. The sickle and hammer were religious tools. It might not be accidental that the Soviets appropriated those pagan symbols (and the more unconsciously the more effective the usurpation ), much the way Hitler took the swastika from China and Indo Europeans for his own archetypal manipulation purposes. Same archetype manipulations are used by marketers, the cell phone being of the same size of wooden amulettes of the past etc.

          Women did not use the sickle for agriculture because the seed pods would fall and they only needed to pick them up, nature doing all the work for them. The flail was what was used, but also sparingly because these pods opened up on their own. So the flail too was a deliberate instrument responding to the work needed to open domesticated religious improved seeds meant for ceremonial consumption only. The hammer is for the mortaring of the seeds, a more domestic instrument, while the stonemill was used for industry instead. Meanwhile Islam also has filled the “gaps” by removing Christ in the 3 parties circulation pattern in the southern hemisphere because desert conditions are similar in scarcity periods to the frozen North.

          So, here we have the conditions for Marxist antireligious sentiment and antisemitism. Why would the religious class keep the best Brahmin crops for themselves? Why would the Yahwehists keep the industrial tools and metal smithing just for themselves? Why not let the original peasants benefit from it? Basically, why not China steal our secets and take us over? Eh? This is old neolitic barbarity repackaged today. And Epstein seems to be a satanic cult of take over of all this, symbolically almost in the use of human victims arbitrarily appropriated from cults that had managed to contain from such danger.

          There are many psychological and sociological reasons to avoid the pitfalls of confrontatiinal duality in isolation, arbitrary like Adam and Eve, alone and first people on Earth , with no father nor mother to bow to, demiurgic empowered, thus with children having no such inclination to respect own Adam and Eve as parents, all after rejecting a third body allowing a circulation instead of a back and forth bounce in mirror fashion, which is God. In a sort of Sado Mazochist way it seemed that it was the caricatured 1984 like satired structure and “container” that Marx counted on.

          The successful attacks are ellitpical and unconscious. One thinks it is man and woman free, empowered, that man is the end all be all of all things as North Korea Juche demands it and as Putin believes it, but at the core of it is destruction, an intent to destroy out of such arbitrary schizophrenic man and woman in a strange elliptical manner deniability manner. You see these couples everyday who strangely stick together despite fighting each other all the time, and people wonder why they stay together. Well, simply because there is method to this maddness, a sort of narcissisitic imposition on society of a metacriminal union made of a sado mazochist couple who look the victim in content but who in container are well aware of their toxic progress , influence, attention grabbing and problem causing where there were none. A sort of pathological elliptical agenda develops. Scissors to one clenched fist for whomever is foolish enough to try make peace between them.

          1. I do not think the duality thing was made up, however I do not use the word duality, only binary or opposites. I think there was a real dark magic in what Marxism does, the binary nature is at the heart of it, reversalism, opposites, there is clean symmetry in what they do, they do not just do evil, they do 100% evil, it is similar to satanic cults, they do not invent anything new, they simply take some aspect of Christianity and do the 100% opposite, they are sad little parasites who can’t create anything, their very existence is merely an anti- which revolves pathetically around the good, and merely seeks to be “not good”.

            They are worse than the definition of nothing, forget contributing to society or at the very least just doing nothing and not bothering anyone, they actively negate and subtract all that is good and holy and righteous, they exist as perfect parasites, and even more, they could not even exist without a thing or person to negate or suck blood from. I often wonder, if the entire world became Communist, if the system would eventually eat itself alive from its many purges, if they would eventually just kill everyone. They murdered 25% of the Cambodian people in just 4 years. My logic says they would eventually murder everyone, but perhaps that is just my soul longing for justice, because I can’t bear the idea that their system could extend indefinitely. But who knows, after all, North Korea has continued thriving for the upper level all these years, but perhaps they are being sustained in some way, financially or otherwise, that I am unaware of.

            I would actually be interested in Jeff’s thoughts on this, whether he thinks a one world Communist federation would eventually eat itself alive and collapse.

          2. I’m sure North Korea is being propped up via the Chinese/Russian parasites who gain from the West trading with them, as well as the drug trade the Russians/Chinese control so much of. In other words, they aren’t sustaining themselves.

          3. Not to mention the sex slave trafficking Jeff has written about .

          4. This really is an interesting question to me, whether a World Communist System could actually sustain itself and be sustainable, even if on the backs of millions of slaves. The USSR was sustainable. We know they had financial help, but was it critical? The CCP was basically sustainable. Perhaps their system really can work without imploding, just a never-ending cycle of misery and slavery. This is really something I ponder.

          5. But China couldn’t have been built up without us. I think your original statement is right, that they cannot survive without outside input, or without loosening up on certain groups and sectors for a time as Russia did during the NEP.

          6. Well, China is a different story, in that case you are specifically speaking about their industrialization and military buildup. I am speaking more about stability and sustainability of a Communist regime in general. The CCP regime was sustainable from 1949 until the time that we opened our doors to them.

          7. This is the great paradox of communism. And they never seem to learn the lesson. These mentalities are serving a destructive end, whether they realize it or not.

            Communists are ruled by the devil and he doesn’t care how many evils they commit and and in what way the communists themselves perish, so long as the ends are completed….it is this evil, and they enjoy being evil, the devil is their true Master and they don’t even believe he exists.

          9. I’m reminded of an anecdote Richard Wurmbrand gave in one of his books. A communist torturer was torturing him and said something along the lines of “I thank God whom I don’t believe in, for the pleasure of torturing you ”

            Truly, Satan is their god.

          10. If the communists ever destroy the nexus of the world market, they will not be able to create one from scratch for themselves. They would descend into cannibalism. They would hit the wall. Victory for them is, ironically, defeat.

            They believe that all people, except themselves, should be poor, slaves and fully subordinated to the Party. No excuses, no compromises, only pure and evil tyranny – the “proletarian” rule of the Party – and the actual proletariat has no say.

          12. That is my feeling too, but I always interrogate it to make sure it is not my bias. My general sense is that a World Communist Dictatorship would quickly devolve into a global poverty, with the upper crust living off the billions, but eventually it seems people would stop working, give up, be murdered, etc… their murder rate is so high that you wonder if humanity itself might go extinct.

          15. As event advance, the economic strain on China is increasing. Will they be able to sustain this? It is very hard to tell if they can.

          16. If you study communist theory and practice, and various modern trends, there is a definite pattern of inversion. One can also use the word “perversion.” Inversion in all the prevailing formulas: Revolutions where the rich become poor and the poor become rich. Making women into men and men into women, etc. The more you look, the more you find this practice of inversion. It is a key marker.

            It’s sad to say; totalitarianism causes backwardness, poverty, and misery, but it’s resilient. We know that places like Poland and the Baltics were a gamble for the communists during the fake collapse, and they lost. Romania was a partial loss. Belarus and Kazakstan remained the same. Those who got their freedom basically had it handed to them. I don’t want to detract from those who worked so hard in these places but if the fake collapse never happened I think Poland and the Baltics would be similar to Belarus today.

            The mass protests in Cuba and Venezuela and Iran were failures. There’s a chance this works, we should all be praying without ceasing for Iran in this moment.

          18. Yes! We all win when freedom wins.

          19. Echoes of Engels on the family….

        2. Historian brilliantly described the degenerated marxists!
          There is a direct definition for that: its left hand way, the parasitic, destructive attitude, NOT to create as righteous do, but TIO TAKE SOME ONE’s ELSE property for themselves.

    2. I did not see that one. Fascinating.

  21. I know most people hate Trump here, but unless I am missing something, I don’t hate these moves. Force offense against Russia and China. Roll up their proxies. Get the US military some experience. If you just sit back and allow the Communists to build up, they dictate the terms of the attack.

    1. Not having access to the strategic intelligence the White House has, or the military assumptions they are basing the campaign on, it is difficult to tell whether this war is a misstep. I see that the Iranian people hate this regime, and they might rise and and help us finish it off. That would be a tremendous outcome for us. If we can cause a collapse without losing anything significant, then it is a win for us. Then Trump has done something good for our side. The next three weeks will show us what can be done and whether starting this war was a good idea. One fact that concerns me is the nuclear one. Tehran is being evacuated. That might signify a nuclear strike is contemplated by Iran. How we handle such a move will be of the utmost importance. I do not have much confidence in the grit of the American people when it comes to facing enemies head-on. If we weaken in the face of such a threat, or such an attack, the consequences could be fatal to our country. Already we face a domestic crisis once the Democrats get control in Washington. They will impeach Trump. They will impeach Vance. They will impeach other Republican officials. You can count on a Kangaroo Court. The right itself has been corrupted with pro-Russian isolationist MAGAs. Tucker Carlson is a disgrace. We have a confused public. The left is not going to offer a good strategy against our enemies, and they are going to scare conservatives domestically. The left, being against this war for their own reasons, could unite with the angry MAGAs who also oppose the war. In that event, Iran could win the war if they only hold out long enough. That could be more devastating to our position than anything. The left is a problem and the far right is a problem. This is why Dugin said that the left and right can now combine to take down capitalism. He is serious when he says this.

      1. I think that Trump is aware of the pitfalls. His sense of balance in these military affairs seems to me quite excellent, not doing too much, yet also not being passive and doing too little. Striking powerful blows while not committing to long and costly deployments. The Russians are used to encouraging passivity when their agents are in the halls of US power, and encouraging over-aggression and military blundering when people like Bush are in power. I have noticed that whenever “the Right” is in power, leftists of various types will encourage them to do more, strike more, etc.. the Soviets understand this concept of 3 ways of doing things, 1 correct with perfect balance and 2 incorrect on either side.

        But Trump has not fallen for that so far. Even here, the fretting now goes to “he’s gonna commit us to a never ending war!” But I don’t think he will. It is really quite a tightrope to walk – how do you effectuate regime change without having actual troops on the ground? He has been experimenting with this method in Venezuela.

        What is clear is that they must destroy whoever remains giving out orders. There shouldn’t even be anyone left giving orders regarding missiles.

        And finally, yes, we will need help from the Iranian people. 30,000 of their brave compatriots were already slaughtered according to local reports. But this is their moment. We are limited in how far we can go, and will need them to go the rest of the way. But if successful, this will be a tremendous blow against Russia and China.

        1. From what we observe: USA policies on Global scale since 1945 were : to take care of everything and pay for everyone. It worked to some extend. Then Germany betrayed us and approached with moscow all the way to the level of becoming a military allies against Ukraine and USA TOO!!!!! The plan was to push USA OUT of Europe thruogh the above betrail. France was also a part of the plan, including the destruction of both Ukraine and poland statehoods , may be same for Baltic states and more

          Time has come for USA to stop paying for everyone else.

          The NEW PARADIGM is different and much more effective.

          We OBSERVE its SETTING IN as we speak

        2. I dislike saying this because it is confusing, but the question should be asked while we have an internet. If the future is very informal on the ground, what forces could Trump gather? How many would trust him? I realize that it against some “law” to cause distrust of the legal military commander, but is not the good of the people the highest law? I say we should discuss this while the internet is up, to let all speak openly and let the best comments win. For the people, all of us.

          1. I’m not even sure what you’re asking.

          2. Military and law enforcement in USA totally support Trump.
            Top invisible leadership(deep state or what name) – i mean institutional governence – THEY PUT TRUMP IN POWER. For a reason. Trump is PERFECT to finish regime in ru and may be even the PRC. Trump is percieved in kremlin as the one who WILL push the button 100%. AND HE DOES. I mean nukes of cousre. Trump will if needed.

            The rest of the issue is negligable.

          3. The good of the people as the highest law? I think of utilitarian dogma, “The greatest good for the greatest number.” That is a tricky idea that one should distrust, where “good” is thought of in material terms, or is ill-defined, or is qualified by “the greatest number.” The highest good is not something we always understand, and might include things we do not want.

          They don’t have to worry about Trump going too far with anything, so they will swallow up even partial “destruction” of the Iranian (communist) government and Moscow no doubt has already the replacement crew ready to take over – and Trump will be ordered to make it look like it is his work, so his pathologically extensive narcissism can be fueled some more by it – but overall, the whole situation seems to be highly coordinated – they are only adjusting certain aspects of it, as usual.

          When Saddam Hussein was removed, Moscow had already prepared replacement “democratic” government (some of which members were secret communist agents), so Iran could be expected to go the same route as well….Trump will be silent about it and the press will not mention anything about it, so the communist strategy will not suffer any defeat at all… (In Iraq it was discovered that one of the new democratic ministers were long-term KGB connected asset, and others were suspected also….and of course the US Government had no problem with it….)

          Remember, the battle won doesn’t mean the entire war is won….and when it comes to the KGB and GRU operations, the war is almost always lost afterwards, and it is not because of incompetence, but because the communist controlled opposition is in charge of making such “mistakes” and “incompetent steps” – on orders from the Center of course.

          1. So it was Moscow’s plan to eliminate their puppet and all of the missiles they had worked hard to build up?

            You are taking it out of context – the plan well may have been that they allow something like this to take its course, but they have always the backup crew to take over the country and not allow the genuine people or the outright anticommunist to have any influence…and in such totalitarian and communist controlled countries the risks are minimal. Moscow has done it in Eastern Europe, so why Iran would be any different ? Moreover their nuclear capability and production may have been removed before Trump attacked it (or “it”), just as there was a Russian military convoy leaving Iraqi nuclear sites before the US military got in…back then…and the US patrols had to leave the Russians alone…as some sources were saying…Mr. Nyquist knows more about this for sure.

          3. I agree they have backup options, and I agree they will try to capitalize on the current situation, but I do not agree that Trump destroying Iran was part of their plan.

            The only possible way I could see that is if:

            a) to justify a large scale action on US soil, and they wanted justification, or

            b) the main military event is soon and they wanted to deplete US munitions.

            Credibility for Trump so that people would stop suspecting him so much being the alleged Krasnov….and this is one of their main objectives, even though it may not seem that way, but the result is that if their asset remain in power, and his successors and so on which he (Moscow ultimately) approved, then when the nuclear and bio-chem attack commences, Moscow doesn’t have to worry about any substantial retaliation from the US governent – and this is the objective – and for that they are willing to give up (temporarily that is) even one of their puppet states as Iran – they have given up Iraq and Libya etc., so they have no problem making that one step back, because they know that then there will be 2 or 5 steps forward afterwards.

            That Trump is doing what he is doing Moscow had probably not planned as such, but agreed to it with the view that they will call the shots afterwards anyway – and they may just be replacing the visible terrorist government with the more “western friendly” communist connected evildoers instead, which they have done before and elsewhere. It is a very well known deceptive communist tactic.

    2. In the Big strategy so to say, we benefit from massive misunderstandings of Trump policies. There are none as a matter of fact. USA is ran institutionally. There is no way ANY single person, a POTUS or any one else will EVER dare to alternate the course: consider the implications of MISTAKE> World wil be destroyed. If moscow only feels they get away with a nuclear strike- 100% we will be hit.

      Nothing “Trump did” is arbitrary and never will be. We never had so solid opportunity to finish with the enemies as we have now. Technological advantage is enourmous. NOW IS THE TIME.

      Also new tactiocs was used against mullahs, based on UA experience with kamikaze drons

      2. We will see if a strategic of decapitation works. It certainly underscores the personal risk that dictators are taking by opposing US interests. On the other hand, it is a very dangerous departure from the rules of war (traditional). One trembles to think if this same strategy is used against us.

          Seems there are NE decisions made localy

        2. I have to say I don’t understand your objection to “decapitation” when Iran is a stated enemy of the US. Why are there lines in war?

          As for dangerous risks taken by dictators, I was just thinking the other day that there was no way Khomenei was actually in charge. His comments were so aggressive and threatening there was no way I believed he was making them. Didn’t he know his life was at risk? He was literally tweeting out statements about sinking American ships.

          That is when I formulated this idea that some of these figureheads might *LITERALLY* be hostages. We recall the strange phalanx of Cuban guards around Maduro. Khomenei’s statements made much more sense as a hostage puppet and they just put the statements in his hand. Because why else would he make statements about sinking aircraft carriers when there was an armada and an enormous force around his country? I think these people are powerless puppets who they simply speak through. Maduro, etc.. and now Khomenei is dead. How many other puppets will read the scripts that lead to their deaths? I wonder if this will change anything in this regard.

            Sir, you have to understand that every single KGB communist controlled state is run by the whole communist apparatus of fully committed communist fanatics and that removing one or even 48 as Trump now claims it has been done in Iran doesn’t mean that Moscow will quit that country all together and move on and forget about it – they will make sure that that country remains under the communist Moscow controlled rule even if they have to fight 20 years long war for it.

            Their objective is to conquer territory after territory and thus the whole world….and the history of communism proves it.

            What Trump does now is not inconsistent with their strategy nor methods….it is still helping them to take over the whole world…he is in facts sabotaging the justice by not doing enough to destroy communism and Russian and Chinese interests in full.

          2. Obviously there is no sovereign Iran since 1979. It became a part of te soviet empire. Since then it never deviated from moscow course, always alligned. It was never and never will be Islamic. Its Islamism is a fake, one more itteration of soviet design for proletariat substitutes. Just cannon butter in all respects, slavery at its worse

    3. I’m sorry, friend. I just can’t trust Trump, not have any respect for him. But, I don’t have hope or trust in any of our politicians in this day. Only by the mercy of God can we hope to survive, and to do that, our nation must repent of many things, in sackloth and ashes so to speak.

      I’m with you in love for God and country, and the will to fight our enemies. I’ve just got nothing for Trump. I can’t trust him, just as I couldn’t trust or respect Biden or Obama.

      1. I trusted Obama and Biden–to be evil.

    Jeff, not sure if you can comment, I was made aware by a Hong Kong person who lives in New Zealand that Szeto Wah and Martin Lee who founded the ‘Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Movement’ did everything they could to help the CCP Mainlandize Hong Kong and part of this included abolishing Cantonese and English as a speaking and writing language in Hong Kong post 1997. Apparently when Szeto Wah tried it when Hong Kong was under British control, the British really intervened and stopped him.

    QUOTE :
    Among the DOJ files is an email in which Epstein says that Robert Maxwell was murdered by Mossad after he attempted to expose all Mossad operations unless he was paid £400 million to save his collapsing businesses.

    Answer:

    Excellent information – this makes more sense now than ever.

    Maxwell is the key to understand what Epstein did and why they “retired” him – because they didn’t need more scandals, they needed to finally blow it all up and demoralize the west and the US, and
    the KGB criminals probably decided that Epstein would be more useful dead than alive – and so they ordered the “locals” to get inside the Manhattan prison and to take care of Epstein…no doubt they have several conspiracy theories already prepared if anything goes out but that the main benefactor is Moscow is without any doubt the case – it is their operation, and they are using the blackmail fruits of it now…Epstein is no longer necessary, so he is no longer alive.

    —-
    Additional comment about one point in the article – as the devil is trying to destroy many souls, so he invented various sick and evil schemes, including perverted and sexual horrors and pedophilia and so on, and so by the evil and sinful example the devil through such evil people is using it to pervert the minds and souls of those who still possess some kind of morality and righteousness in them, but it is an uphill battle because God is no longer helping people to recover from such evil inclinations and so more and more such crimes are visible and ongoing.

    That the present time DOJ woman is a disgrace and for a serious reasons, is no accident – but again, the communist subversion has reached such a level that people are in fact refusing to admit that these evils of communism, Russian led communism, are real and that those in charge of protecting them and their country are in fact the enemies themselves, traitors, as every communist is a traitor to his own country, as every communist must obey the Moscow communist center and cannot do otherwise – and they do it most willingly.

    About Trump – do NOT be deceived about the recent situation in Iran – Moscow is willing to go that far and even given up one of the satellites (Venezuela is still communist country, and perhaps Iran will remain as such as well – as the history of how Trump says one thing and then leaves it undone and never finishes the operation, that is what counts – and there is the Moscow’s orders and carefully crafted strategy which only allows to go to certain lengths but then the order to stop destroying the communist regimes, Moscow subordinated regimes is standing and nothing beyond that is done…and this is the case now and on and on…).

    Do NOT trust Trump that he will do something more than he has already done, the orders to this alleged Krasnov are no doubt specific, to look good and to gain credibility, but the final betrayal is still awaiting execution and that is where the Moscow’s strategy is leading to….and so when such communist traitors are called upon, then they will do the most damage to their own country…and to their own (millions) of people…

    (NB: Psychiatry in its abuses is a mostly dead and false science – it deals with opinions in matters of the inside of human intellect, which is not detectable and can be easily perverted, especially by a diabolical possession, which, the acts of the devil upon a human soul, that is a truly serious situation and the devil, if he is permitted by God to act inside the human body, can be capable of unspeakable evils…and so the “science of psychology and psychiatry” is oftentimes misused and even abused by the godless communists and evil people, to justify their attack on their opponents and to discredit those who are anticommunists… – be very careful, setting aside the purely medical aspect of various mental conditions, and do not go too far, as then the damage is immense and such like cases cannot be categorically judged without the proper understanding of the soul, and so godless psychoanalysts should be excluded from making that kind of assessment in the first place….this is the role of the true Confessor, endowed with the Divine light and guidance, and not some purely subjective opinions of a shrink, one worse than another and none with the truth…).

    1. I do not believe Mossad killed him – Maxwell was running the KGB’s money, he was the primary publisher for Communist propaganda, he was buying up newspapers in England, he is a large reason the Labour Party rose to power, but he was a con man, he was acquiring news companies left and right, he had these odd suspicious trusts, he was stealing from his own employees’ pensions. It was right about the time that he was about to be arrested and imprisoned for large-scale theft and fraud that he was killed. Seems quite obvious who it was. If he was arrested by the UK government, why wouldn’t he have spilled the beans in order to save his own neck? A similar situation as Epstein.

        You may be right, so the question is clear that both Mosad (and this would’ve been justice for Maxwell for his evils) or the KGB had both reasons to get rid of him…and it is true that boating “accidents” were or used to be one of the KGB specialty…but again, Mosad is not entirely out of the answer, based on what Mr. Nyquist is saying about the blackmail.

        Maxwell was not his real name, it was Joch – he was born in Eastern Slovakia, very poor mountainous region, so the question is that he had to have some serious financial backing when he got to the UK, much like the other KGB asset Soros, the cases are very similar…and quite deadly in what such assets have accomplished for Moscow.

        When you consider that Soros had channeled his (or the KGB’s) money to the “anticommunist dissidents” in Eastern Europe, through the “former” communist Czech guy in Stockholm in 1980s, a man who studied the GRU controlled nuclear physics in Moscow before that and was a son in law to the Russian communist prominent scientist, then how can such connections be without the KGB etc. approval…

        The same is with Maxwell – and so his daughter and Epstein just continued the KGB blackmail scheme, except that Epstein was retired (by them or by Mosad) – both cases are very much confirming that the KGB is involved….and that thus they hold the US and other governments hostage…which is the ultimate nightmare of them all – and the communist objective in the first place. Think about it…how serious the situation truly is.

          CORRECTION OF THE TEXT:

          The same is with Maxwell – and so his daughter and Epstein just continued the KGB blackmail scheme, except that Epstein was retired (by them or by Mosad)…

          Correction:

          The term Mosad was inserted by mistake (not paying too much attention an typing too fast) in regards to Epstein – the KGB most likely through the local assets in NYC wanted him silenced….because then the operation would have to be reconsidered – and or they wanted to get rid of him because they wanted to blow up the case wide open for the demoralization purposes….but still be able to control the blackmail angle of course.

        2. Yes, I have traced his journey, he spent some time in East Germany as well for a bit, I believe. Eric Weinstein has speculated that Maxwell’s “lost fortune” was Epstein’s “mystery fortune” – Weinstein has made several statements which I have found rather intelligent and intriguing.

      3. Absolutely , Historian, 100% and only that. Maxwell of course… classic soviet liquidation REASONING. One may even quote Anatoliy Golitsyn explanation here

        1. If I was the evil KGB chief and Maxwell were working for me, and he used KGB’s proprietary blackmail info on Mossad to raise half a billion dollars for person reasons (without permission from the Center), I would liquidate him and write a note of apology to Mossad and tell them that they have nothing to worry about. We don’t work like that.

    Additional observations about Trump and his somewhat resistance to the Epstein case openness – is he is truly the KGB asset then the KGB doesn’t want this operations to be exposed, and so he is doing exactly what for example the KGB agent Kim Philby, the communist fanatic and traitor to Britain was doing – protecting Russian communist operations and subverting or hampering justice..

    The KGB wants to protect this Epstein operation from being exposed why exactly the KGB is running it, that has to remain secret – but that Epstein was their man and that he was doing it for blackmail purposes – that point they don’t mind from being mentioned, but WHY it is their operation – that is another matter.

    Why is it so that it is the KGB operation ?

    Golitsyn speaks about this, so does Gen. Sejna and Pacepa and any other such like high ranking defector – communist subversion. BUT since these enemies of the truth inside the US and any NATO government agencies and leadership all think that Russian communism truly collapsed, they will never put it together why the KGB (now FSB and so on) would be running such a blackmail operation in these times – and why would the Russians seeking such a blackmail data on various high ranking and influential people.

    These people truly don’t understand the sinister evil nature of communism and its fanatical determination to obtain the worldwide victory of that evil nihilistic perverted godless ideology.

    Such people who, as Trump, had ever anything to do with the Russian and any other communists and communist assets should be always barred from any government post or position as security risks.

    The Philby case was the warning, and many others, but then such like communists inside the UK counterintelligence services section are the precise reason why the communist victory is inevitable…because it is not the idiots that put these communist traitors in, but the people that allowed them to continue their evils when they were serious objections made to their continual employment and involvement. Philby was himself responsible for the death of about 100 British intel agents caught in the Soviet Bloc by the KGB – because of the information Philby supplied to the Russians.

    The death tool may be much much higher when such traitors and communist agents are put to work today or when the Russian attack commences (or the communist revolution or communist provoked civil war) begins….Moscow’s orders must be obeyed and the communist fanatics will gladly obey them.

    Jeff, not sure if you can comment, there is a high likelihood that the Grand Solar Minimum is in progress as people in New Zealand are saying that the summer this year was short or non existent and snow arrived very early this year in February as well

  28. I have thought about it some more and I will say there is a definite possibility that Iran is one final depleting operation, intended to deplete the US of more Patriot and THAAD missiles. From the sounds of it, the American military used a lot of anti-missile defenses against Iranian drones and counter-measures.

    When taken within the larger context of the Ukraine operation, which depleted US anti-missile stocks, and the initial major Iranian attack on Israel, which also depleted US anti-missile stocks, this operation could plausibly and theoretically be viewed within the same light, as part of a broader campaign to deplete American anti-missile munitions before the main assault on the homeland.

    This scenario only makes sense if the main strike on the US homeland is in the near-term, before they can replenish said stockpiles. But I think it should definitely be considered. This doesn’t mean it is a bad idea to eliminate the Iranian regime. But if it was encouraged by internal forces connected to external enemies, and if the purpose was to further weaken American anti-missile defenses in anticipation of the main event, that is a different matter entirely. I do not know enough about replenishment rates or current stockpile levels to know if I am correct or not.

      This is one of the main military aspects of the whole situation, also the discrediting part which the Russian communist propaganda wouldn’t miss and wouldn’t leave unused – that of the empty promises of Trump to help the Iranian people and then to leave them to their own slaughter by the fully armed government – and this situation is also important for the Russian KGB strategy because they can still discourage people from rising up this way because of what Trump did before this attacked has come about.

      He’s a piece of work, it is so morally decayed and so evil that one truly has to ask how far this world has already progressed that so little honor and decency and other essential virtues are left in men…it is truly the systemic work of the devil destroying all that is left good and true and just in this world that then comes such a person as Trump, advertising his narcissistic manners and self-liking for himself and at the same time he is visibly just another perverted soul and on the way to Hell at the end – because he is not changing nor willing to change – he likes himself so much that he doesn’t see what evils he has already committed – and people around him are more or less the same.

Well I’m sure that the interpretation here would be that he’s doing it intentionally, with evil intent, but it’s also possible and probably more likely that it’s simply the Russians shrewdly using their classic “momentum pulling” technique, pulling the other side beyond where they should go. Also, in a lot of worlds, eliminating the Iranian regime makes sense, just not if there’s a quick succession of attacks coming after that.

        1. I’m certainly not sorry to see the Ayatollah and many of his henchmen slaughtered. But the IRGC is still there, and we don’t know who is going to take the old terrorist’s place. Why won’t Trump throw his support behind Prince Pahlavi? He’s the rightful ruler, and the people want him. Who is Trump listening to on that issue, because it’s certainly not the Iranian people.

    It is extremely low probability, but local targeting of key military figures is something the Soviets would do in the immediate time frame right before the main event. It would be so close to the main event because there is a high risk of detection for them.

    I don’t know if you heard about the military exercise, carried out last year.

    “Ten Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers wiped out two NATO battalions in a single day during exercises, the WSJ reports.

    In May last year, the Hedgehog 2025 exercises took place in Estonia, bringing together more than 16,000 service members from 12 NATO countries. They trained side by side with Ukrainian drone experts, including personnel temporarily recalled from the front line. The exercises simulated a battlefield using various types of drones.

    In one scenario, a battle group numbering several thousand troops — including a British brigade and an Estonian division — attempted to carry out an attack. During the advance, they failed to account for how drones had made the battlefield “transparent.” The NATO battle group was “simply walking around everywhere without any camouflage, setting up tents and leaving armored vehicles out in the open.” All of it was destroyed.

    During the exercises, the Ukrainians used Delta — their high-tech battlefield management system. It gathers real-time intelligence, uses AI to analyze vast amounts of data, identifies targets, and coordinates strikes between headquarters and units. This enables a rapid “kill chain”: see, transmit, fire — all within a matter of minutes.

    Overall, the results were described as “terrible” for NATO forces. The opposing side was able to “eliminate two battalions in a day,” meaning that “for training purposes, they were essentially no longer able to fight.” The NATO side was not even able to detect the positions of the Ukrainian drone operators. According to the WSJ, one commander (apparently from a NATO country) who observed the exercise came to the following conclusion: “We’re screwed.””

    Whatever Ukrainian soldiers were able to do there, Russian soldiers are able to do as well, because this is how they fight each other in our days. I see it as a reason for Russia not to wait much longer before the attack on the West.

    1. Important report, Valentina. This explains what the Russians may be up to.

      1. Great news indeed. UA knowledge , tech and expertise in HIGH demand as we explained here last year many times: a new paradigm of fighting.

        NATO forces learned the lesson: exactly why they were there and exactly why this was PUBLISHED. They could have not publish and no one would know. This means NATO is preparing in a very fast and serious way. Enemy has no chance.

  32. Jeff, I was recently watching a record from a guy interviewing Olavo de Carvalho privately about Russia. I thought it summarized so well some things you have yourself insisted upon here and there that I had to send you a translated transcription. Unfortunately I can’t confirm the exact date. Judging by the furniture I think this is an office he had between 2014 and 2016. Here it goes: [O: Olavo de Carvalho]; [E: Interviewer]:

    E: What does Russia want?
    O: Well, here’s what happened with Russia. For a long time they have known that the communist economy doesn’t work. And within the KGB they must have discussed this in depth. “Well, we can’t give up our power, our scheme. So we need to create something else with the same people and the same power scheme. So what do we do? We perform an ideological transfusion. We change the discourse.
    We use other ideological pretexts. So they hire their Alexander Dugin to craft another discourse. What did Dugin do? He took everything that was anti American and anti Western: communism, Nazism, anarchism, esotericism, occultism, Islamism, mixed it all together and produced a discourse.
    So this discourse appeals to the old communist crowd, because it’s the same power structure. And it also appeals to a bunch of conservative, Christian people because it comes wrapped in talk about Christian values. But the discourse doesn’t matter — it’s just a pretext. What they are really doing is restoring the Russian Empire. That’s all they want. A Russian Empire with the same people, the same old KGB. For them, staying in power is worth anything.
    Now, there are people here (US) who believe it, who say: “No, he passed laws against homosexuality.” And they support the guy because of that. But Russia continues to be a major corrupting force. We know — you read Joseph D. Douglas’s book Red Cocaine — that the one who set up the drug trafficking system in Latin America was the Soviet Union. And since then, it has never stopped growing.
    When you look at all terrorist movements worldwide, you check the weapons — where do they come from? From Russia, always. So it’s the same old Russia fostering terrorism and subversion throughout the world. Changing the ideological discourse a little. But if you want a communist discourse, they have it for you. If you want a conservative discourse, they have that too.
    E: In the end it’s about power.
    O: But of course. Russia has always been very large…
    E: Lots of resources?
    O: Lots of resources, but unable to take care of itself.
    E: And also very poor, right?
    O: Very poor, exactly. So it has a monstrous inferiority complex. Since the 19th century, Russian intellectuals — all of them — fantasize about the day when Russia will be the great prophetic nation that will dominate the world and fulfill a divine mission. They’ve been thinking this nonsense since the 19th century. And they can’t carry out this supposed divine mission.
    E: Isn’t that similar to the “manifest destiny” of the founding fathers?
    O: Yes, but the manifest destiny actually exists. And the Americans actually fulfilled it. So… But here’s the thing: think about it. Here you have a republic made by people who didn’t want to create anything new.
    They took the old colonial laws and simply codified the laws that already existed — rights that came from England, for heaven’s sake. Everything already embedded in the life of the people. And on the other hand, around them you had a bunch of chaotic Hispanic and Portuguese little republics, where most of the population was enslaved, where everyone was miserable, nobody even knew what rights or constitutions were. Who would have hegemony? Obviously.
    Manifest destiny — manifest and actually fulfilled.
    But Russia, no. No one needs a saving message from Russia. Russia is the one trying to promote itself that way for 200 years. They have this complex. So if it’s not through communism, it will be through Orthodox religion or any other nonsense.
    It’s a country with a complex.
    E: Just look at history: what was created by the founding fathers and what was created over there.
    O: Of course. The Russian dream resulted in what it resulted in — 100 million dead. Now look at life in the United States.
    E: Not just 100 million dead, but also that propaganda machine of bad things for the whole world, including Brazil.
    O: Yes, the Russians corrupted global politics entirely.
    They introduced lies and disinformation everywhere, accustomed people to the idea that being a crook is normal. It’s the prophecy of Our Lady of Fatima: Russia will spread her errors throughout the world. She didn’t say “communism.” She said “the errors of Russia.” It doesn’t matter whether it’s communism or Eurasianism. Of course, they just changed lies, for heaven’s sake.
    E: Now, how far is Putin willing to go in his aggressiveness…
    O: Look, I think Putin is a genius. But he isn’t a greater genius than Stalin. The greatest strategic genius in human history was Stalin. You could say all of Stalin’s plans succeeded — all of them. And even so, it didn’t help. Because there’s a natural limit. You can do a lot, but you cannot go against the nature of things, you cannot go against elementary arithmetic, you cannot go against the laws of logic — you will reach the limit.
    E: But do you think he will actually invade Ukraine?
    O: I think so. If not now, then soon. The easiest way would be to invade through internal infiltrated agents — stage an internal coup. I think he will try that first. And I think an invasion by Russian troops is the last option.
    E: It seems it’s already happening.
    O: I think he’s already there (with infiltrated agents).
    E: Because there is a great fear that the aggression might go too far, but going beyond that would be foolish.
    O: We don’t know where the limit is, but the limit exists. You see that the Chinese are much more restrained. The Chinese know how to assess their strengths and weaknesses, and the Russians don’t. All Russians have been megalomaniacs since the 19th century — all of them.
    E: So it could indeed be an economic and political destabilizing factor for the coming years.
    O: It could, but we must think as follows: Russia will always be like this. It sees no reason to change. Only a divine act could change Russia.

    My grateful compliments for the blog

    1. Thank you. Very interesting comments from Olavo. I would only add that the leadership in Moscow consists — behind the scenes — of old Central Committee families. These are more important than Putin. He takes orders from them. They would like to return to Stalin’s system, or Brezhnev’s system, since it is more in alignment with their memories of better days in the Soviet period with the Great Patriotic war legitimizing it. People had to pay lip service to them in a way that was justifying them. The Great Patriotic War gave them a sense of glory, and Stalin won this war. So Stalin is their model because he made the tyranny absolute and they believe it worked. But Stalin being their model is a self-deception. Stalin would have purged them all, because they are corrupt. Unchecked power is like this. So, these people are Bolsheviks by long lip service, as well as opportunists. In other words they are thieves and murderers and liars. It is all disordered, however. They remake all ideology as merely another iteration of the revolutionary Leninist creed, and there is only one consistent element: Capitalism must be overthrown (plundered). Russia matters little to them. Their policies are destroying Russia, as always.

    CONCERNED

    People have to realize that Russia has and for a long time that is, a completely illegitimate government and that their system of government was founded on violent revolutionary Bolshevik takeover (which afterwards included the murder of the whole Czar’s family), and subsequent political terror which has no equivalent in the history of mankind (with the exception of other communist usurped countries like China, NK and so on).

    So it is a crime to justice and truth to recognize such an illegitimate government of communist criminals as a legitimate one (and it borders on treason in fact when that is consequential for the well-being of the country that does so….as you can see today in the US, EU and so on).

    Russia and China want to rule the whole world and communist terror is the tool to achieve it – and they as the communist fanatics will not deviate from it at all and thus every step they make must be regarded as part of their strategy or deception which leads to accomplishment of it, and any of their advances must be rejected and diplomatic, economic and other government benefits and contacts denied in full…

    This is how you will recognize their KGB agents and communist sympathizers and so on, by these steps and appeasing or collaborating steps they make towards such illegitimate communist governments – no matter what excuses they come up with, they are either complete and criminally negligent idiots OR agents of communism themselves. Trump and any other US and EU etc. administration for the last 50 years fits this profile perfectly (to the extent perhaps of Ronald Reagan BEFORE he signed the disarmament treaty with Moscow…as that was also a huge failure on his part.).

    To be so negligent in dealing with this real and imminent Russian and Chinese etc. communist threat will prove fatal to any country that allows such negligence to exist, including the US.

    Interesting documentary about Philby – but applicable to the point made above – the criminal scandalous negligence towards these communist atheistic criminals by the “freedom loving” western governments….which will ultimately bring KGB assets into power as we see happening today in their actions and deeds of evil.

    Jeff, I don’t think any of your articles has hit me the way this one has. Stunning and sobering. I am as usual forwarding it widely to the few people I know who I believe think deeply enough to appreciate it. I would add that abortion is another ordinance that the devil uses to kill children at an industrial scale for those not religiously inclined.

    I know you have your P.O. box listed, but any way you’d accept PayPal or Venmo for a book? I keep forgetting to send a check!

    1. one millon babies per year in USA killed by abortion
      there coul be a solution, say one million dollars each mother

    2. PayPal is always good. My PayPal is my email jrnyquist@aol.com. Some payments are getting through but they disabled the button for my site.

  35. Regarding Iran, the methods astonish me. I do not know any decent culture or religion that would judge it right to launch an unpredictable and secret attack against an unwarned foe. Don’t get me wrong, we agree on the ends, but not on the means. The left seems to have created an environment in which courageous action (declaring war) is considered immoral or foolish, and the right, in turn, lacks the courage to confront the perverse discourse and the depraved situation in the name of higher values, yet has the “courage” to blow up an enemy by surprise. And the entire public follows the news without even realizing that “war” against Iran is, in this context, a synecdoche. This dialectical decay will not take long to demolish what remains of “Western civilization.” Any example taken at random from antiquity, including Consul Spurius Postumius mentioned in the article, serves as a contrast: today we are nothing more than animals. I do not see how divine mercy could manifest itself today except through wrath (especially after reading this article).

    1. I agree with you, Celso, and have written often about the wickedness of waging war by assassinating leaders. This has never been a successful method of warfare, and others will eventually use it against us. Mark my words. Offering a deadline and launching a surprise strike before the deadline may be cunning, but when you wipe out all the people you were talking to it’s shockingly treacherous. It’s evil. People say to me, “Come on Jeff, they are terrorists. They are evil.” Yes, that is true. But that does not make it right to join the evil club yourself. Honor is a gift you give yourself. To act dishonorably when fighting for a good cause soils that cause. But then, who is making this point today? Almost nobody. Honestly, as I watch this battle unfold, I cannot see how we win this war. No ground forces? Air and missile strikes will not eliminate the regime in Tehran. Haven’t we read about Goering’s failure at Dunkirk. Or at London? You cannot force an army to surrender, or a country to surrender, with conventional air strikes alone. You have to go in on the ground. Iran will continue to hit oil rigs and tankers in the Gulf as long as they hold territory from which to strike. China will give them an endless supply of drones and missiles. The Middle East oil will be a thing of the past if we don’t take the ground. We have to invade. What am I missing here?

  36. Just a few comments about Iran. I think most people agree that the mullah theocracy / socialism should go. It is very important what comes after. I think that the MEK is very bad also. Secular but also socialist / communist. Akin to the Tudeh party.
    So I’d say monarchy, Shah, or a representative government.
    I’d also listen to an Iranian named Shariar Ahy. A media mogul in the middle east. Tried to give the U.S. some good advice during the Irag wars, concerning positive propaganda.

  37. The Iranians are savvy. But as long as the U.S. or some international body doesn’t try to force the MEK on them, it will be OK.

  38. “Victory begins in the brain. The soldier must fight, but he must be smart about it. As it happens, thinking belongs to free men. The good general relies on his soldiers’ sense of where things are headed. He doesn’t wait for the situation to deteriorate. Meanwhile, the Oriental despot encourages sycophancy. He leads an army that is blind from the bottom up. An underling in such an army sees no evil, hears no evil and speaks no evil. Only those encouraged to think for themselves will report the truth to superiors. These alone possess the courage and the self-confidence that victory demands.”

    Current evaluation of USA military in light of events on that Aircraft Carrier?

    1. Are you suggesting that the thinking soldier is a soldier who sabotages his own unit? Not sure if I understood the question in context.

  39. Jeff,

    The essay you wrote shows an extremely horrifying aspect of our political class and others. And, alas, I fear that this isn’t limited to the political class, though they are the ones paying big money to abuse innocent children. I have known a few people who were sexually abused for years, and a couple of them have told me they went through times where they had blackouts and fits, and said that their minds had blocked out much of their childhood. I remember my grandmother’s sister couldn’t have children, and adopted several as well as fostered others.

    There was one boy in particular who had been sexually abused who would go into these rages. My aunt understood it was because of the trauma, but eventually had to let him go back to the orphanage or whatever it was, because he became too much for her to handle.

    Also, I think there are a lot in the situation of R.O., in whom psychologists/psychiatrists have somehow planted false memories. I had an English professor who used to come deer hunting with me, who’s father was a WW2 veteran, who told me that his sister had started going to see such a person when she was on up in age, who convinced her that her father had sexually abused her (or them -can’t remember), but the man told me that it just wasn’t so, but the family had been devastated.

    But, as you said, when you see these people choking back intense emotions and struggling to relay what happened to them, you know it has to have truly happened to many of them.

    If I may mention something from Scripture here, I think you will agree.

    If we believe the things that the Lord told us would be signs and characteristics of the times before His return, then we know we are certainly in the last days.

    Now, just how long they will play out, we don’t know. Personally, I feel we are very close to the end.

    But, this utter wickedness you have described to us shows that the world is ripe for the judgement of God which He has told us He is going to bring.

    But the point I want to make is this.

    1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

    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.

    If this operation in Iran is truly being done as so many of us feel -with our president merely being a tool or “little helper”, as you once described him, of the Communists- then it’s very possible this military operation wraps up fairly quickly and neatly just as Trump is pretty much saying it will, and the “Conservative” websites are saying it is. It is possible that a “regime change” takes place in Cuba, just as Trump has hinted and Lindsey Graham just came out and said will be next.

    Because this false peace and safety have to come from somewhere, don’t they?

    When this false peace and safety that proceeds the day of the Lord comes, it has to come from somewhere, and apparently Russia/China need to buy enough time to finalize their preparations before attacking America, and so are allowing an apparent rollback of some of their nations so Americans believe we are in a very strong position, and no one can question anything about Trump’s honesty, character, past, ties to Russia, etc without being branded a traitor or a coward.

    And then, when everyone is rejoicing and feeling relief in the “peace and safety” Trump has “achieved” for us, look out.

    Maybe Russia and China want to move, but God brings judgement on the world.

    Or, maybe He allows them to attack us.

    But, it’s as you have pointed out numerous times in your essays and in your book: we did nothing to win the Cold War. We believed in the delusion that we won by living better, all the while our enemies were continuing to prepare; to infiltrate, undermine, and confuse us; to make more gains on the international stage.

    And we have done nothing now to achieve “peace and safety.” There have been no sacrifices by society to build civil defense. There has been no resurgence of strong families, godly character, or work ethic. There hasn’t been a return of true learning in our schools and universities. Trump puts tariffs on our allies, but our industrial base is still in shambles and so many of the things the industries here need in order to manufacture goods has to come from outside the country and they have to pay a higher price for them, and have to pass their increased cost on to the consumers if they want to stay in business. Correct me if I’m wrong here, but this is what I’m gathering.

    So, folks, can I say here, look to the Lord and what He’s done for us for salvation and forgiveness and eternal life.

    And please don’t put your trust in Trump or any other leader who arises on the world stage.

    The things Jeff has shown us show a world ripe for God’s judgement which He has plainly told us He will bring. It will be more final than anything the Communists have dreamed of, and will be for them too.

    Jeff, if I’m being too preachy, and you would rather delete this, it won’t offend me.

    Thank you for all your hard work.

    1. I am afraid there was no victory in Venezuela and there will be none in Iran. Saudi oil facilities are burning. Tankers are hit. When does that end? How long before our losses are great and our enemy unaffected? I hope there is victory here, but I do not understand the expectation of winning without invading.
