NED to continue weaponizing “democracy” in Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba

The brief freeze and rapid partial reinstatement of National Endowment for Democracy (NED) funding in early 2025 helped expose it as a US regime-change tool. Created to rebrand CIA covert operations as “democracy promotion,” the NED channels government funds to opposition groups in Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba, meddling in their internal affairs.
Regime change on the US agenda
In 2018, Kenneth Wollack bragged to the US Congress that the NED had given political training to 8,000 young Nicaraguans, many of whom were engaged in a failed attempt to overthrow Nicaragua’s Sandinista government. Wollack was praising the “democracy-promotion” work carried out by NED, of which he is now vice-chair. Carl Gershman, then president of the NED and giving evidence, was asked about Nicaragua’s Daniel Ortega, who had been re-elected with an increased majority two years prior. He responded: “Time for him to go.”
Seven years later, Trump took office and it looked as if the NED’s future was endangered. On February 12, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under Elon Musk froze disbursement of its congressionally approved funds. Its activities stopped and its website went blank. On February 24, Richard Grenell, special envoy to Venezuela, declared that “Donald Trump is someone who does not want to make regime changes.”
Washington’s global regime-change operations were immediately impacted and over 2,000 paid US collaborating organizations temporarily defunded. A Biden-appointed judge warned of “potentially catastrophic harm” to (not in her words) US efforts to overturn foreign governments. The howl from the corporate press was deafening. The Associated Press cried: “‘Beacon of freedom’ dims as US initiatives that promote democracy abroad wither.”
However, the pause lasted barely a month. On March 10, funding was largely reinstated. The NED, which “deeply appreciated” the State Department’s volte face, then made public its current program which, in Latin America and the Caribbean alone, includes over 260 projects costing more than $40 million.
US “soft power”
Created in 1983 under President Ronald Reagan following scandals involving the CIA’s covert funding of foreign interventions, the NED was to shift such operations into a more publicly palatable form under the guise of “democracy promotion.” As Allen Weinstein, NED’s first acting president, infamously admitted in 1991: “A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA.” In short, NED functions as a “soft power arm” of US foreign policy.
The NED disingenuously operates as a 501(c)(3) private nonprofit foundation. However, it is nearly 100% funded by annual appropriations from the US Congress and governed mainly by Washington officials or ex-officials. In reality, it is an instrument of the US state—and, arguably, of the so-called deep state. But its quasi-private status shields it from many of the disclosure requirements that typically apply to taxpayer-funded agencies.
Hence we encounter verbal gymnastics such as those in its “Duty of Care and Public Disclosure Policies.” That document loftily proclaims: “NED holds itself to high standards of transparency and accountability.” Under a discussion of its “legacy” (with no mention of its CIA pedigree), the NGO boasts: “Transparency has always been central to NED’s identity.”
But it continues, “…transparency for oversight differs significantly from transparency for public consumption.” In other words, it is transparent to the State Department but not to the public. The latter are only offered what it euphemistically calls a “curated public listing of grants” – highly redacted and lacking in specific details.
NED enjoys a number of advantages by operating in the nether region between an accountable US government agency and a private foundation. It offers plausible deniability: the US government can use it to support groups doing its bidding abroad without direct attribution, giving Washington a defense from accusations of interference in the internal affairs of other countries. It is also more palatable for foreign institutions to partner with what is ostensibly an NGO, rather than with the US government itself.
The NED can also respond quickly if regime-change initiatives are needed in countries on Washington’s enemy list, circumventing the usual governmental budgeting procedures. And, as illustrated during that congressional presentation in 2018 on Nicaragua, NED’s activities are framed as supporting democracy, human rights, and civil society. It cynically invokes universal liberal values while promoting narrow Yankee geopolitical interests. Thus its programs are sold as altruistic rather than imperial, and earn positive media headlines like the one from the AP cited above.
But a look at NED’s work in Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba suggests very much the opposite.
Venezuela
Venezuela had passed an NGO Oversight Law in 2024. Like the US’s Foreign Agents Registration Act, but somewhat less restrictive, the law requires certification of NGOs. As even the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) – an inside-the-beltway promoter of US imperialism with a liberal gloss – admits: “Many Venezuelan organizations receiving US support have not been public about being funding recipients.”
The pace of Washington’s efforts in Venezuela temporarily slowed with the funding pause, as US-funded proxies had to focus on their own survival. Venezuelan government officials, cheering the pause, viewed the NED’s interference in their internal affairs as a violation of Venezuelan sovereignty. In contrast, the US-funded leader of the far-right opposition, Maria Corina Machado, begged for international support to make up for the shortfall from Washington.
WOLA bemoaned that the funding freeze allowed the “Maduro government to further delegitimize NGOs” paid by the US. Hundreds of US-funded organizations, they lamented, “now face the grim choice of going underground, relocating abroad, or shutting down operations altogether.”
With the partial reinstatement of funding, now bankrolling at least 39 projects costing $3.4 million, former US senator and present NED board member Mel Martinez praised the NED for its “tremendous presence in Venezuela… supporting the anti-Maduro movement.”
Nicaragua
Leading up to the 2018 coup attempt, the NED had funded 54 projects worth over $4 million. Much of this went to support supposedly “independent” media, in practice little more than propaganda outlets for Nicaragua’s opposition groups. Afterward, the NED-funded online magazine Global Americans revealed that the NED had “laid “the groundwork for insurrection” in Nicaragua.
One of the main beneficiaries, Confidencial, is owned by the Chamorro family, two of whose members later announced intentions to stand in Nicaragua’s 2021 elections. The family received well over $5 million in US government funding, either from the NED or directly from USAID (now absorbed into the State Department). In 2022, Cristiana Chamorro, who handled much of this funding, was found guilty of money laundering. Her eight-year sentence was commuted to house arrest; after a few months she was given asylum in the US.
Of the 22 Nicaragua-related projects which NED has resumed funding, one third sponsor “independent” media. While the recipients’ names are undisclosed, it is almost certain that this funding is either for outlets like Confidencial (now based in Costa Rica), or else is going direct to leading opponents of the Sandinista government to pay for advertisements currently appearing in Twitter and other social media.
Cuba
In Latin America, Cuba is targeted with the highest level of NED spending – $6.6 million covering 46 projects. One stated objective is to create “a more well-informed, critically minded citizenry,” which appears laughable to anyone who has been to Cuba and talked to ordinary people there – generally much better informed about world affairs than a typical US citizen.
Cuba’s Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez criticized the NED’s destabilizing activities, such as financing 54 anti-Cuba organizations since 2017. He advised the US administration to review “how many in that country [the US] have enriched themselves organizing destabilization and terrorism against Cuba with support from that organization.”
Washington not only restored NED funding for attacks on Cuba but, on May 15, added Cuba to the list of countries that “do not fully cooperate with its anti-terrorist efforts.”
The NED: Covert influence in the name of democracy
Anyone with a basic familiarity with the Washington’s workings is likely to be aware of the NED’s covert role. Yet the corporate media – behaving as State Department stenographers and showing no apparent embarrassment – have degenerated to the point where they regularly portray the secretly funded NED outlets as “independent” media serving the targeted countries.
Case in point: Washington Post columnist Max Boot finds it “sickening” that Trump is “trying [to] end US government support for democracy abroad.” He is concerned because astroturf “democracy promotion groups” cannot exist without the flow of US government dollars. He fears the “immense tragedy” of Trump’s executive order to cut off funding (now partially reinstated) for the US Agency for Global Media, the parent agency of the Voice of America, Radio Marti, and other propaganda outlets.
Behind the moralistic appeals to democracy promotion and free press is a defense of the US imperial project to impose itself on countries such as Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba. Those sanctioned countries, targeted for regime change, need free access to food, fuel, medicines and funding for development. They don’t need to hear US propaganda beamed to them or generated locally by phonily “independent” media.

🌍🚂 INSTC: The New Silk Road Shaking Up Global Trade
Pepe Escobar breaks down the International North South Transport Corridor — a 7,200km sanctions-proof trade route that could replace the Suez Canal for Eurasian trade.
Why It Matters:
✔️ 30% cheaper than Suez route
✔️ 40% faster (cuts transit time to 20 days)
✔️ Sanctions-proof alternative for BRICS nations
Key Nodes:
📍Bandar Abbas: Handles 85% of Iran's container traffic
📍Chabahar Por: India's $500M investment to access
Russian and Central Asian markets
📍Bandar Anzali: Iran’s gateway to Caspian Sea
The Big Picture: This isn't just about trade - it's about reshaping global power dynamics. When complete, INSTC could move 25 million tons annually, creating a new economic axis from Mumbai to Moscow.
Bottom Line: While the US plays whack-a-mole with sanctions and threatens endless war, the Big Three – Russia, Iran, and India -- is building the infrastructure of tomorrow.

Pepe Escobar: From The Caspian to The Persian Gulf, Tracking Iran’s North-South Corridor
On the road in Iran - The International North South Transportation Corridor (INSTC) is one of the most crucial geoeconomic/infrastructure projects of the 21st century. It unites at its core three key BRICS nations – Russia, Iran and India – branching out to the Caucasus and Central Asia.
When fully operational, the INSTC will offer a full trade/connectivity corridor sanctions-free, cheaper and faster than the Suez canal to a great deal of Eurasia. The geoeconomic consequences will be staggering.
To re-visit Iran in these times of geopolitical trouble, relentless “maximum pressure”, red lines on uranium enrichment and bombing threats could not be more pressing – and enlightening.
Total Connectivity: Highway, Mosque, Bazaar
By an auspicious turn of events, the old school reportage/investigation actually became the plot line of a documentary, produced in Iran, shot by an outstanding crew, and to be broadcast in several parts of Eurasia, including Russia. Here we offer the broad strokes of our travel to the heart of the INSTC.
We started with a series of interviews in Tehran, with Central Asia analysts and most of all Mostafa Agham, the top expert of Behineh Tarabar Azhour, a transportation and logistics firm specialized in Eurasia railway corridors. These analyses offered contrasting points of view on where the INSTC should go next and what are its main challenges.
Travel along Iran’s main artery, from Tehran to Bandar Abbas, was a must – as it will conform the trans-Iran north-to-south highway axis of the corridor. That doubles of course as a cultural and spiritual pilgrimage, which in our case featured plenty of auspicious overtones.
We arrived at fabled Isfahan past sunset, which allowed us to visit the Masjed-e Shah – or “Royal” - mosque virtually undisturbed. The Royal mosque – one of the highlights of Islamic architecture – sits on the south side of the Naghsh-e square in Isfahan, one of the most extraordinary public squares in the history of art and architecture, rivaling, and arguably surpassing San Marco in Venice.
A visit to the Isfahan bazaar is also inevitable. I was looking for an old friend who sold nomad carpets – in the end, because of slow business, he relocated to Portugal – just to find his sort of heir, young, energetic, who apart from pointing me to a spectacular, rare tribal rug from northeast Iran close to the Afghan border, gave me a crash course on the effects of sanctions and the perpetual demonization of Iran in the West (“Turkey has 40 million tourists; we have two or three”). Isfahan’s neat and extremely organized bazaar offers quality handicrafts to rival Istanbul, but there’s essentially domestic tourism, sprinkled with a few foreigners mostly from Central and South Asia and some from China.
On the way back to Tehran we learned that, being a Tuesday, the revered Haram of Fatima Masumeh, the daughter of the 7th Imam Musa, in Qom was open all night. Nothing prepares the pilgrim for an arrival at nearly two in the morning to an apotheosis of gold and crystals in the heart of Qom, Iran’s second most sacred city after Mashhad. Only a few pilgrims paying their respects, some strolling around the shrine with their families or reading the Quran. A moment of quiet illumination.
Afterwards it was time to hit the Caspian, and the port of Bandar Anzali, the proverbial “international bridge” where, in theory, cargo ships from Astrakhan in the Russian Caspian, as well as other Caspian-bordering states will start arriving ern masse via the INSTC. In Bandar Anzali, Iran essentially imports petrochemicals, construction materials, minerals, and iron products and exports grains (soybeans, corn, barley, wheat) and crude oil.
In Tehran, Mostafa Agham, the connectivity expert, had explained in detail that perhaps the multimodal drive of the INSTC across the Caspian may not be the best idea. The Russians prefer to build a railway bordering the western margins of the Caspian; and another possibility is to use a network of already functioning railways from southcentral Russia, across Kazakhstan all the way to Aktau, by the Caspian, and then connecting across Turkmenistan to Tehran.
It's only via a close up on Bandar Anzali that one understands the Russian rationale. One of our cameramen, in delightful broken English, coined an instant hit: “Port no exist”. Translation: the infrastructure has not been upgraded in decades, which brings us to the devastating effects of sanctions, visible in several nodes of Iran. China will have a lot of work to do as part of their 20-year strategic partnership, where energy-for-infrastructure is a central plank.
Bandar Abbas, in the Persian (italics mine) Gulf, is a completely different story. That’s Iran’s main port, and a key node of the INSTC, to be connected to Mumbai and already connected to the big ports in eastern China. We had all the hard-to-get necessary permits to explore Shahid Rajae-i Special Economic Zone, crammed with containers from shipping firms such as West Asia Express and unloading scores of Chinese container cargos. The uber-strategic Strait of Hormuz is only 39 km to the south. A few days after our visit, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian went straight to the point, referring to proverbial Trump threats: “Block our oil, and we’ll block the world’s energy.” Iran can do it - in a flash; were that to happen, the collapse of the global economy is guaranteed.
Additionally, port authorities explained that the recent explosion on Shahid Rajae-i – attributed to “negligence”, still under investigation and somewhat mired in controversy - was not in the port itself, but in a storage area 10 km away.
From the Persian Gulf we fly to the Sea of Oman – and infrastructure problems ride again: there are only two flights a week. We arrive at a minuscule military airport outside the future superstar of the INSTC: the port of Chabahar in Sistan-Baluchistan province. Baluchis are exceedingly cool, cousins to the ones on the other side of the border, in Pakistan. In bustling Chabahar, the lineaments of a boom town are quite visible.
A long walk in the port side by side with Alireza Jahan, a logistics expert and then a conversation with Mohammad Saeid Arbabi, the Chairman of the Board and Managing Director of the Chabahar Free Trade Zone could not be more enlightening.
21 October 2024, 09:18 GMT
Jahan explains how Chabahar is essential to Iran’s East Axis, serving over 20 million people not only in huge Sistan-Baluchistan but also three other Khorasan provinces, and further on to Kerman. So Chabahar is the port for an enormous hinterland, while its competitor, Gwadar in the Arabian Sea in Pakistan, only 80 km away or so, is virtually isolated.
Jahan also explains Indian investment. Tehran is investing heavily in the infrastructure and superstructure of Chabahar port, while India is investing in equipment: the Italian cranes around the port came from India. Arbabi, at the Free Trade Zone, expands on the international profile of Chabahar, which will be an absolutely key node not only for landlocked Afghanistan but also the Central Asian “stans”.
And that brings us to the local highway saga: Chabahar to Zahedan, in the Afghan border, 632 km, already an “acceptable road”, and with a companion railway to be built within the next three years, everything 100% financed by the Iranian government.
Progress at the port is steady – slowly but surely. For the moment Chabahar receives three ships from India a month and two ships from China, plus three from the Persian Gulf. The distance from Mumbai is only 4 days, and from Shanghai, 15 days. The potential for expansion is limitless.
From Chabahar, it’s on the road bliss along the spectacular, strategic, oil-drenched, semi-desert Makran coast, bordering the immaculate Sea of Oman all the way to the Arabian Sea. History looms large: this is where Alexander the Great lost as much as 75% of his army to dehydration and starvation when he was retreating across the desert to Macedonia after his tortuous two-year invasion of India.
Due to a concert of economic and ecological reasons, there have been plans for quite a while to relocate the capital, Tehran, to the Makran coast. Chabahar in this case would be the ideal candidate: free port, INSTC connectivity between Central Asia and the Indian Ocean. India – which needs to step up its geoeconomic game – has noticed it. And China certainly did; Chinese companies are bound to invest massively in Chabahar – the de facto key node for South Eurasia integration.

🇷🇺 Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov commented on Trump’s threats to impose 150% tariffs on BRICS countries in response to attempts to create an alternative to the dollar.
🔻 The diplomat outlined that such concerns are unfounded for three reasons:
1. BRICS fundamentally adheres to a non-confrontational stance. The U.S. and the West are not positioned as adversaries but merely as one of the existing centers of a multipolar world.
2. BRICS is currently focusing economic cooperation on trade in national currencies, not on creating a single payment unit.
3. The creation of a unified BRICS currency is not currently on the agenda.
This was also emphasized by Brazil’s Director of Monetary Policy at a recent meeting of BRICS economic leaders.
The countries have not yet elevated economic cooperation to a level where a de-dollarization model involving a unified currency would be applicable.
Nevertheless, the concerns of the U.S. President are not unwelcome.
Washington’s hegemonic ambitions continue to manifest, but recent political events confirm that the era of U.S. dominance is rapidly fading. The U.S. can no longer simply threaten tariffs or even military intervention to get everything it wants. Even the recently initiated trade war with China did not yield the desired results for the U.S. and, in fact, backfired by consolidating some wavering Global South countries around BRICS.

🇵🇪🇧🇷🇨🇳 Peru Revives Bi-Oceanic Railway Talks with China and Brazil Under Belt and Road Framework
Peru is pushing for high-level talks with China and Brazil to advance the Central Bi-Oceanic Railway Corridor—an ambitious project to link Brazil’s Atlantic coast with Peru’s Pacific coast via the Chancay megaport.
The railway would create a direct trade route to China, bypassing the Panama Canal and significantly cutting export times for key Brazilian goods like soy and beef.
Peru’s Economy Minister Raúl Pérez Reyes confirmed the country is ready to co-finance its segment of the project. He emphasized the need to align strategic interests among the three countries and define a framework agreement covering investment, demand, and execution.
The initiative aligns with China’s Belt and Road Initiative and reflects growing South-South cooperation. It also positions the Chancay port—built by China’s Cosco Shipping Ports—as a key hub in reshaping trade flows between South America and Asia.

🇷🇺🇨🇳 The West Didn’t Lose the Nuclear Race—It Forfeited: Inside the Thorium-Powered, Belt & Road-Backed Energy Revolution
“The hardest word in the English language is ‘change,’” says Henry Tillman, the China analyst whose thorium reactor research even the Financial Times cites. That line now reads like an epitaph for Western energy sovereignty.
While Western governments buried reactors under red tape and green slogans, China and Russia engineered the future—one molten salt reactor and floating nuclear power plant at a time.
In their recent dialogue, Tillman and Hussein Askary of Sweden’s Belt & Road Institute exposed the tectonic shift:
🔶 Nuclear taboos became the West’s energy suicide note
🔶 Developing nations choose kilowatts over climate sermons
Russia’s Floating Nuclear Power Plants (FNPPs) rewrite the rules:
🔶 1 billion kilowatt-hours delivered—a world first
🔶 Rosatom: $20 billion commercial leader
An energy iron curtain has descended—dividing nations that build from those that moralize.
🔶 China’s operational thorium reactors refuel while running—a historic first
🔶 200+ new reactors in China’s pipeline vs. Germany’s lignite relapse
🔶 60,000 years of thorium reserves secured
ASEAN is all-in:
🔶 Three nations adopted this tech immediately (Singapore: “Let’s go SMR!”)
🔶 Malaysia committed. Vietnam and Myanmar signed onto Russian reactor deals.
🔶 Seven Asian countries advanced nuclear projects last quarter alone
“When countries have that mentality, they push it,” Tillman warned. Russia and China pushed—in the Gobi Desert and Arctic—while the West pushed paper.
This isn’t a tech race. It’s civilizational.
Global South shifts:
🔶 23 of 33 Latin American nations now BRI-aligned
🔶 Nuclear diplomacy outpacing sanctions
🔶 Tomorrow’s infrastructure being welded now
Tillman’s data proves the acceleration:
🔶 China’s molten salt reactors advancing
🔶 Russia’s Arctic projects expanding
🔶 The thorium-powered BRI marches on—no sanctions can stop it
🔶 The West watches as tomorrow’s grid is built without it
Tillman’s warning: “The West could be in real trouble within 3–5 years as all this power comes through China and Russia.”
Beijing and Moscow are building tomorrow’s infrastructure—with or without the West.

Just a note which might be helpful and interesting for some readers.
Thorium-powered nuclear reactors are small, very efficient, produce huge amounts of energy, and (unlike old-generation uranium reactors from the 1950s and 60s) are 100% safe and produce little or no radioactive waste. They could go a long way to solving (or at least easing) the world's very serious energy problem.
China is leading the research and production, and the west is way way behind. :flower:

BREAKING: 🇨🇳China, together with 🌍53 African countries and the African Union Commission, just announced the China-Africa Changsha Declaration on Upholding Solidarity and Cooperation of the Global South.
Some pundits, media, and politicians' efforts in slandering China-Africa relations and the Belt & Road Initiative continue to go in vain.
(Full declaration: https://fmprc.gov.cn/mfa_eng/wjbzhd/...frican%20Union.)
Some key points:
🔺The African side commends China’s courage and resolve to defend international equity and justice and safeguard international economic and trade order. China highly commends African countries' commitment to the basic principles of sovereignty, equality and justice and to upholding a common position in the face of external pressure. We resolutely oppose any party reaching a deal of compromise at the expense of the interests of other countries.
🔺We will join hands in cementing the foundation of sovereign equality, maintaining that all countries, regardless of their size or strength, are equal members of the international community, and resolutely upholding international justice and order. We will continue to safeguard each other’s legitimate rights and interests, stand side by side with mutual understanding and support amid chaos and changes, stabilize this uncertain world with the certainty of the China-Africa relationship, establish a benchmark for sincere friendship and equality in the Global South, and advocate an equal and orderly multipolar world.
🔺We will build an all-weather China-Africa community with a shared future for the new era, set an example of solidarity, cooperation, independence and self-reliance of the Global South, and call for a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization.

The whole planet is being kept hostage by a death cult by Pepe Escobar
https://www.sott.net/image/s36/72916...Tn_930x520.jpg
It’s no wonder Washington is all in. This is now the Circus Ringmaster War.
Extract from long article:
Let’s cut to the chase. The devastating attack on Iran by the psychopathological genocidal “chosen” ethno-supremacist set up in Tel Aviv – a de facto declaration of war – was coordinated in detail with the President of the United States, Circus Ringmaster Donald Trump.
This infantilism-afflicted Narcissus Drowned in the Pool of his Own Image gave away the game, himself, in a rambling post. Selected highlights:
“I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal”. No “deal”; actually his unilateral demands. After all, he torpedoed the original deal, the JCPOA, because it was not his “deal”.
“I told them it would be much worse than anything they know, anticipated, or were told.” The decision to strike had already been made.
“Certain Iranian hardliners spoke bravely, but (…) they are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse!” Gloating comes with the territory.
“The next already planned attacks being even more brutal.” Total alignment with the trademark Israeli “decapitation” strategy.
“Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire”. It was Persian (italics mine) Empire – but after all this is a man who doesn’t read, or study. Notice the Art of Diplomacy: Take my deal, or drop dead.
This – incandescent – decade was launched by an assassination, of Gen. Soleimani in Baghdad, as I emphasized in my 2021 book Raging Twenties. He was on a diplomatic mission. The green light personally came from then President of the United States, Donald Trump.
The mid-Raging Twenties is now hurled to the brink of a devastating war in West Asia, with global repercussions, by the serial assassination of the IRGC leadership, in Tehran, by the psycho-genocidal Zionist entity. After an elaborate kabuki of deception, the green light to Tel Aviv – go ahead and do it – also came from the President of the United States, Trump 2.0 (who claimed he was “aware’’ of the attacks).
A pre-emptive war against the BRICS
The psycho-pathological genocidal masterplan is to force Tehran to capitulate – without even putting up a fight. The preamble kabuki was masterfully executed. The indirect nuclear negotiations in Oman were taken seriously in Tehran, lulling the Iranian leadership, civilian and military, to sleep. They fell into the trap and were caught, literally, in their sleep.
Ayatollah Khamenei – who himself is in physical danger, as Israel is applying the same decapitation model it unleashed on Hezbollah – has a very tough decision to make: capitulation or total war. It will be total war – and with the U.S. as a direct participant.

From Bernhard Guenther PIERCING THE VEIL OF REALITY
https://veilofreality.com/2025/06/13...consciousness/
What if the rage, chaos, and hatred we see on the streets and online aren’t just caused by political polarization or Deep State operations, but are signs of occult forces and psychic infection?
In my recent article, I explore how egregores and hyperdimensional forces hijack human consciousness through mass formation and emotional contagion.
I also share a personal story from one of the largest anti-war protests in history, and how it opened my eyes to the futility of seeking external change without inner transformation.
We are in a war for our consciousness.
I explore how to recognize these forces, how they feed on unconscious projections and unintegrated shadow material, and what it means to stay sovereign and embodied in the midst of it all.
It also relates to what I wrote today on a social media post in response to the recent attack of Israel on Iran:
As the war escalates, so do the projections of hatred and anger toward Jews and Zionists on one side, and toward the regime of Iran and Arabs on the other. It’s palpable, especially on X/Twitter.
On a psychic level, you can sense yet another gigantic egregore forming and being fed, while masses of hostile entities feast on the loosh of these emotionally charged projections.
The Anti-Zionists (increasingly slipping into actual hatred of Jews) are just as much pawns in the game as the hardcore pro-Israel neocons who want war with Iran, both influenced and controlled by forces they have no awareness of.
Most people are still caught in the surface-level illusion of the 3D world, focused on external power structures: corrupt governments, the Deep State, left vs. right, Zionists, globalists, secret societies, and so on.
And while all that exists and plays a role, it’s only the outermost layer. It’s the projection on the wall of Plato’s Cave.
What’s rarely seen or understood is the deeper, non-physical architecture behind it all, a hyperdimensional control system operated by occult forces that influence events, institutions, and human behavior from behind the veil.
These are the real architects of the Matrix.
As I wrote in a post a few days ago: with Neptune just entering Aries (and staying there until 2039), expect more war.
Ideological wars. Civil wars. Religious wars. Holy wars.
It marks the beginning of a new cycle of spiritual warfare.
This isn’t fear-mongering or doom and gloom. It’s simply part of this cycle.
There are deeper karmic and spiritual lessons.
Neptune in Aries will also help and inspire us to see beyond the surface level of human conflict and reveal the spiritual forces at work.
It’s not enough to say this is a spiritual war without understanding the non-physical forces operating from behind the veil through humanity.
The war is through us. Always has been.

Putin: America’s Superprofits Flow Only to the Elites — World Needs a Post-Neocolonial Model
“Excessive profits in the U.S. over recent decades never reached the middle class — they stayed with the elites,” Putin emphasized.
The president added that the world needs a new development model that isn’t built on the rules of neocolonialism.

Re: The Multipolar World Order (yes, it's here)
We need a new model—one unlike the era when the 'Golden Billion' elites drained the world's resources, Putin says
'It was the elites who pocketed the profits—not ordinary citizens. This is all publicly available information'
