Day 1 of Trump's Presidency... and all the days that follow

[Ben]

Bumping this!

Essential reading for anyone wishing to look beyond the Punch and Judy show, that has the vast majority of people so entranced. It's a long and dense piece, and to really grasp the complex machinations of the systems that are being put in place at an ever-increasing, and breathtaking, velocity, one really does have to spend a bit of time and mental energy familiarising themselves with the context, history and players in this deranged game.

Posted by Tintin (here)

"In October 2024, Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos posted on Musk’s “X” platform an alluring statement: “The Network State for Mars is being formed before our eyes.” Musk enthusiastically replied, “The Mars Technocracy.” To which Bezos responded, “Count me in.”

As he continues to dream about colonising Mars, Musk has made it abundantly clear which political system he prefers. In 2019, he wrote: “Accelerating Starship development to build the Martian Technocracy.” Note his use of the word “accelerating.” For Musk “accelerating” doesn’t simply mean an increase in velocity.

Musk has long advocated Universal Basic Income. Here’s one instance of his embrace of UBI: At the World Government Summit in 2017, Musk said, “We will have to have some kind of universal basic income.” Another example: In June 2024, speaking with then-Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at the UK-convened first global “AI Safety Summit,” Musk painted a Utopian vision of an artificial intelligence-dominated society and “an age of abundance” before adding, “We won’t have universal basic income, we’ll have universal high income.” In other words, he was suggesting that the masses would have perfect “lives of abundance” enabled by the ultimate AI-controlled distribution of UBI."

---

In this most interesting of articles Iain Davis exhorts us to pay very careful attention to what is truly and incrementally (in fact now accelerating) being introduced via D.O.G.E and some of the influential billionaire figures now driving some of this new administration's policies.

"To appreciate why people like Musk and Bezos are so enthused by the prospect of Technocracy, we must understand the full extent of Technocracy. We must grasp not just what it is superficially portrayed to be, but also recognize its deep, dark, humanity-mutating, society-altering intentions and aims.

Technocracy does not merely call for technocratic governance—that is, a sociopolitical system where qualified experts, or “technocrats,” rather than politicians, set policy."

- Iain Davis, March 2025


We may well end up referring back to pieces such as this as we follow the days along.....

The Dark MAGA Gov-Corp Technate — Part 1
By Iain Davis
Published: March 4th, 2025
Publication: Unlimited Hangout

What does the title of this article—not to mention each unusual word in it — even mean? This is not a rhetorical question. We urgently need to understand each term. A precise political philosophy underpins each. A combination of these interrelated philosophies has been embraced — either in part or in their entirety — by some of the most powerful people on the planet. If we misapprehend how these controllers and influencers think, we risk blindly accepting whatever world order they wish to impose — and end up wondering how and why we find ourselves subjected to it.

What they're doing by "defending Ukraine" is dressing up their hatred for Trump as a virtue. And it's not obvious to me that all of them are aware of it. There's a brainwashing or a possession of some sort in play here; I know we've discussed it on the forum but it's original cause remains elusive.

100%

For anyone socially who will listen this has been my comment, and more than once. If there was any other incumbent holding this office there's every chance - maybe -that they'd all be rallying around for a peaceful resolution. It's because it's Donald Trump.

Posted over here earlier, but, I'll repost it here as it speaks to what you've written:

Again, referencing Rudolf Steiner via Bernhard Guenther, here:

Demonic entities are attracted to the spiritual "spiritual vacuum" we currently live in, caused by a materialistic worldview and mindset that denies the spiritual reality. It is reinforced by passive living and over-identification with the physical body.

In today's materialistic world, most people seek comfort and convenience without spiritual growth, leading to a loss of deeper connection to their true selves.

This lifestyle keeps people disconnected from their souls, creating a "spiritual vacuum" that serves as an entry point for hostile spirits.

Excessive media consumption, disembodiment, head-centric living, and dissociation weaken the soul connection, making individuals susceptible to external occult influences without their awareness.

As people withdraw from Divine aspiration and inspiration, their physical bodies become exposed to control by non-human occult hostile forces.

Rudolf Steiner warned that future generations would have weakened or absent souls because of this “spiritual vacuum”, making their bodies vulnerable to occupation by demonic entities.

He also emphasized the importance of learning how to deal with evil, which will inevitably lead to encountering one’s own inner shadow and evil within. It is the cure to eventually transmute and dissolve all evil.

----------------

"In ancient Greece, the body was still filled out by the entire human soul. Nowadays, that is no longer the case.

Bodies remain empty to a certain extent. But in reality, nothing in the world remains empty.

With the human soul withdrawing more and more from the body [due to over-identification with the physical body and lack of soul embodiment], the body is increasingly in danger of being filled with something else.

And if human beings are not prepared to take up impulses which can only come from spiritual knowledge [and practice], the body will be filled with demonic powers.

Humanity is facing a destiny where the body may be filled with ahrimanic demonic powers.

This shows the complexity of life to come. It is reasonable to say that there will be situations in the future when it will be difficult to know who one is dealing with."

Trump: ARREST Gaza Protesters - "FREE SPEECH" Lies Exposed

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=E0Qsl5NAQ7I

I went down this road with a friend the other day. He maintained that Trump was going to arrest anybody on college campuses that protested Israel. After a lot of back and forth and looking at video clips and Trump quotes. He had to admit that Trump said he would have anyone "illegally" protesting on college campuses.

I understand that this would include preventing students from getting to class, preventing campus workers from doing their job, damaging property, setting off fire alarms, obstructing traffic and impeding or resisting the police, as well as other illegal activity.

The keyword which this guy and the mainstream media intentionally leave out is ILLEGALLY protesting. As long as protester abide by the law, they can protest to their hearts' content.

This is precisely how legacy media--and videos like the one Bojancan posted--mislead.

Those on to the modus operandi of the mockingbird media apply translating filters accordingly, but this is exactly the type of disinformation so many others are susceptible to. It feeds TDS and literally creates a false and damaging paradigm of understanding the world.

A more critical (and honest) assessment of this story would focus on whether the protests deemed illegal by the Trump administration are overreaching or subjective. But that would be an honest assessment of Trump and these kind of sources just can't go there.

Simply, the video is fear porn and utter garbage.

I largely disagree (at least for all the 'news' outlets) - it's CIA / deep state Project Mockingbird infiltration with additional hidden funding from our tax dollars to prop the worst of it all up, not economics until now as the hidden funds are drying up.

That's okay and your point is noted but it is not all about economics. For every message, you need a sender and a receiver otherwise there is no message. If the receivers refuse the message; the sender must change something or no longer be heard. [The refusal is indeed a sent message in return.] This happens on a small scale here. The senders and receivers are generally in flux; some get the message, some do not. Some posters have an uncanny knack for their efforts, some do not. I think at scale, the people of a place could shut the media down; at least enough for the media to have to pivot and change. Otherwise, all we are getting is the programming - designed to inflict emotion and discourage thinking. Are the spooks really that good at controlling all of this information? I cannot be sure. But I do think being selective in our information sources at scale could have an influence, CIA be damned. Even Trump is navigating the media differently than any POTUS prior. But that is just one person. I'm talking more in the millions - hang that sword strung only by a horse hair and see what happens. That's all I'm saying.

I think it is both supply/demand economics and social-engineering manipulation. I would liken it to lacing an addictive chemical in food--say candy. Yes, the supply of candy sold requires consumer demand, just as mockingbird media requires an audience. But remove the addictive chemical--e.g. "fear porn", coupled with the removal of subsidies to keep the production line humming, and there will soon be no more addicts, only dealers. The legacy media would then have to pivot or collapse. Up until now, however, legacy media hasn't had to pivot because their operations have been subsidized largely by sponsors of social-engineering propaganda, and the dealers of this operation know exactly how to keep a certain demographic hooked. But I'm not sure the demographic currently addicted to disinformation could sustain the message without all the subsidies from spooks, even given ramped-up support from Big Pharma et. al, whose operations at the end of the day (unlike government) are dictated by a profit/loss balance sheet.

Time will tell how it all plays out from here. But it would seem we are moving in a positive direction.

Rudolf Steiner on "soulless" people & vaccines.
(It's ironic that Trump helped to create just the kind of "soulless", Vaxxed people who are now suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome with his Vaxx policy on "Warp Speed". )

Posted by onawah (here)
The quote from Steiner I first saw posted on Project Avalon in various threads reads as follows:
"In the future, we will eliminate the soul with medicine. Under the pretext of a ‘healthy point of view’, there will be a vaccine by which the human body will be treated as soon as possible directly at birth, so that the human being cannot develop the thought of the existence of soul and Spirit.
To materialistic doctors, will be entrusted the task of removing the soul of humanity. As today, people are vaccinated against this disease or that disease, so in the future, children will be vaccinated with a substance that can be produced precisely in such a way that people, thanks to this vaccination, will be immune to being subjected to the “madness” of spiritual life. He would be extremely smart, but he would not develop a conscience, and that is the true goal of some materialistic circles.
With such a vaccine, you can easily make the etheric body loose in the physical body. Once the etheric body is detached, the relationship between the universe and the etheric body would become extremely unstable, and man would become an automaton, for the physical body of man must be polished on this Earth by spiritual will. So, the vaccine becomes a kind of arymanique force; man can no longer get rid of a given materialistic feeling. He becomes materialistic of constitution and can no longer rise to the spiritual."

(Ahriman is essentially another name for Satan. I've never seen that spelling with a "y" before --"arymanique". )
No book, essay or lecture source of that quote from Steiner was provided that I've seen, however I found this:
https://www.oom2.com/t73827-in-1917-...s-souls#156436

Taken from the large archive of Steiner's work here:
https://wn.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA...Dar_index.html

I haven't read it all, but I did find an excerpt about vaccines in lecture 13 at:
https://wn.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA...171027p01.html

LECTURE 13 The Fallen Spirits' Influence in the World
"I have told you that the spirits of darkness are going to inspire their human hosts, in whom they will be dwelling, to find a vaccine that will drive all inclination towards spirituality out of people's souls when they are still very young, and this will happen in a roundabout way through the living body. Today, bodies are vaccinated against one thing and another; in future, children will be vaccinated with a substance which it will certainly be possible to produce, and this will make them immune, so that they do not develop foolish inclinations connected with spiritual life — ‘foolish’ here, of course, in the eyes of materialists."

The full series of 14 lectures (or essays) entitled Fall of the Spirits of Darkness can be purchased in book form from Amazon and other sources as well.

I contacted the facilitator of the archive at:e.Librarian <elibrarian@elib.com
...to see if he could tell me where to find that first quote.

He replied:"Translated text can be very difficult to find, as different translators express what Steiner said differently."
and
"While the RS Archive has quite a bit of material, it does not have ALL of the material! There are around 2000 lectures that remain untranslated into English and several hundred articles, essays, etc.. As I mentioned, different translators present what Steiner said in different ways. With that in mind, the exact quote you are looking for may be hard to find! I do know that unless a Steiner quote is cited, it is probably not real! There are those forces out there that want to present their own agenda, and will deliberately offer proof by creating something that Steiner might have said, or that puts a different slant on what was actually said.

When I started the RS Archive some 40+ years ago, three of the big names in Anthroposophy at that time encouraged me to create the initiative, but also cautioned me that there are forces that do not want me to succeed, nor do they want Anthroposophy to succeed, and they will come at you from places where you least expect it. This, in my experience, has come true over and over again! Each of us has to evaluate all things, of ourselves, through our own means. Steiner has said several times that we should not believe anything he says! We should, of ourselves, find the truth in everything. Biblical scholars have been predicting the second coming and the end of the Earth being eminent, for centuries. While this might happen, it probably will not, for quite some time, at least not on the physical plane.

That said, run an RS Archive search on the single word, "vaccine", or "vaccinate", and you will get a list of choices the Archive has on those subjects:
https://wn.rsarchive.org/search=mode...e&mode=context
https://wn.rsarchive.org/search=mode...e&mode=context
And! Don't believe anything I say!! Find out, of yourself. The journey is the important thing."

Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly talks to CNN's Christiane Amanpour about Trump's ideas on trade, military cooperation, annexation and more.

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=z3rIlAITjXk

One of the Comments :

"I'm Canadian and I've been so scared and stressed out about the threat of annexation that I can't sleep. My mom has Alzheimer's Disease and I'm in the process of helping her transition to a nursing home while I pack up her home and this conflict is putting me over the edge. I can't believe that the country I used to love to visit, and whose anthem I would sing at sporting events out of respect, is now an existential threat to us. My husband keeps telling me, "If the US tried to annex us, the rest of the world would turn on them." Reading the comments of support from people in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and all over the world means so much to me in this moment. Thank you all!"

I don't think much of Melanie Joly or CNN, but can certainly relate to the comment you quoted above. Trump's threat of annexation has caused tremendous stress and hysteria. What I really see happening on Canadian social media is a bizarre worship of Trump, praising him for pushing down Turdeau, and insisting that becoming the 51st state would be a good thing. I don't believe that the majority of Canadians feel that way. The majority want to be rid of the Turdeau regime, and we'd like to vote them out.

However, the Trump worshippers won't accept any critical comment about Trump, even when proven by facts. It's literally turned into a cult, and it reminds me of the covidian cult in some ways. It's about the use of social media to police others and to shape an outrageous narrative that's out of touch with reality in many ways.

Personally I see that this use of social media is an intentional set up by certain entities to sway large numbers of people towards a certain goal, and it is very frightening to see so many hypnotized people fall for it.

Here in the US many in the Trans community are so stressed with hysteria they honestly believe Trump is going to round them into camps, take away all their human rights, and ostracize them permanently from free society (if not euthanize them) because of their gender identity, simply because the new administration is removing the divisive practice of identity politics from the body politic. These are not hyperbolic assertions--these are valid fears some are truly experiencing.

Similarly, I don't discount any stress or hysteria some Canadians are feeling about the U.S. annexing Canada. But it falls into the same category as above. IT'S ABSURD.

THE U.S. IS NOT GOING TO ANNEX Canada. How would that even work? Or look like?

But, yes. If Trump were really rounding Trans into camps -- or attempting to annex Canada -- the person who pointed out "the rest of the world would turn on the US" is absolutely correct. It's absurd on its face.

Others have pointed this out a hundred times already, so I won't beat too much more on the drum. But what Trump is doing, in negotiations, is dealing with a globalist-run neighboring government hostile to its ally's NWO-breakaway nationalist agenda. Be assured the country of Canada will not be a causality of these negotiations--but perhaps some of their globalist policies will--if they wish to continue trade and mutually-beneficial relations with their nationalist friends in the south.

I really appreciate the shout-outs and Ian’s kind words about my book, but there are some things I don’t think were portrayed necessarily accurately about my work, both regarding Epstein and otherwise, and I think I should take the time to clarify those things. I’m not looking to cast shade on anyone with this clarification, just that I think I am the most qualified person to represent my own work and when other people do it, not on my behalf but their own, it can sometimes lead to misconceptions.

My interest is ultimately in my work being accurately conveyed, particularly to large audiences. Obviously the best way to understand my book is to read it, but many who watch the Rogan podcast, for example, won’t. I would happily make these clarifications on Rogan’s platform or another platform of similar size if I ever got invited.

One thing I’d like to clarify is that my books do not make the claim that “Epstein was Mossad,” the book instead argues that Epstein was an important part of a network – though arguably middle management – for a group composed of transgenerational organized crime interests (most of whom are the remnant of the Jewish mob component of the National Crime Syndicate and who promote ethno-fascist policies including via their ethnically focused philanthropy, among other activities) and major factions within both American and Israeli intelligence. They are not synonymous with either intelligence agency but arguably dominate the leadership of those intelligence agencies.

Evidence for Epstein’s ties to Israeli intelligence links him with Israeli military intelligence as opposed to Mossad, which are different parts of the Israeli intelligence apparatus (For example, it would be like confusing the DIA with the CIA). However, as noted above, Epstein was ultimately working for a network that greatly influences and exerts significant control over both the US and Israel (among other places) and that network is more loyal to itself than any one nation and also involves multiple intelligence agencies. While many people do casually use Mossad as a catch-all term for Israeli intelligence, I don’t agree with that and not making the accurate distinction creates an opening for dishonest actors to discredit the work that I and others have done on this topic when not framed properly.

Another thing I’d like to clarify is the implication that my historical reporting on the Epstein case is commendable, while my more current reporting on technocracy is significantly less so. My book on Epstein concludes with an entire chapter discussing how Epstein became irrelevant and thus expendable because the union of Big Tech with the intelligence apparatus, particularly those intelligence agencies most corrupted by the “Epstein network”, with a major focus on the national security contractor Palantir and its co-founder Peter Thiel.

While Ian is an admitted fan of my book, the reporting on technocracy that he describes as more of a turn-off for most than my Epstein book is actually in the book on Epstein itself and is arguably the main conclusion as it related to the present, from the book. There, I note that Palantir is the privatization and recreation of a nefarious neocon project developed by top figures from the Iran-Contra scandal and how tools like it, and its Unit 8200-developed equivalents from Israel, have amassed so much information on us and can also plant false or incriminating evidence on one’s devices without their knowledge, have made the type of sex blackmail ops once practiced by Epstein and other figures mentioned in the book no longer needed or relevant.

I am not sure if Ian has discussed Thiel or Palantir very much (I don’t believe he has but may be wrong on that), but a lot of my concerns about technocracy and the current administration are intimately related to both and those concerns are very well documented in One Nation Under Blackmail (which was published even before the official confirmation of Thiel-Epstein meetings). Of course, Peter Thiel’s errand boy now being Vice President of the US and the many Thiel or Palantir-adjacent figures in this administration make this not politically expedient to point out, particularly if the views you publicly propagate involve claiming that the current administration is a major departure from the Epstein network, which I argue – in my book as well as today – that it is likely not.

In that same vein, I think it is important to push back as nicely as possible on Ian’s suggestion that the Erik Prince “unplugged” phone seems to be a good investment for those concerned about illegal surveillance. While Ian has since described that as an “off-handed” comment and that he hasn't researched the phone, I think both he and everyone should know the following.

Prince has a close relationship with and hired the Unit 8200 alumnus and co-founder of the Epstein and Thiel-funded (and Ehud Barak-chaired) Carbyne911, which seeks to harvest as much data off of your phone as possible when you call 911 and feed the same pre-crime paradigm with that data that Palantir is also seeking to develop (Carbyne is discussed in my book as well). With this woman (her name is Lital Leshem), Prince has developed a very suspect company to funnel technology and products developed by foreign military/intelligence (in this case, Israel) to the US military, creating a loophole for acquisition of what would normally be forbidden products for the US military. In addition, the “unplugged” phone itself was also developed by Unit 8200 almuni. This is significant as Israel has an admitted policy of using companies created by “former” Unit 8200 operatives as fronts for activities Unit 8200 and Mossad once conducted “in house”. For anyone concerned about sex blackmail, Israeli intelligence espionage and/or pre-crime, stay as far away from this phone as possible. Sources for some of the points made above are contained in reporting that I published after my book came out, so I will post those links below.

To conclude, I am more than happy to and very capable of representing my own work to any audience, and when other people try to represent my work instead of me, even if well-intentioned, it can lead to misconceptions about me, my work and my conclusions and I think it is well within reason for me to do my best to ensure that my work is portrayed as accurately as possible.

This should be interesting as to how it will play out. All Kristi Noem can do about this is to do a referral for prosecution to the Justice Department for these two leakers.

If Pam Bondi doesn't prosecute these two leakers it'll make a liar out of Kristi Noem as she already said leakers will be made an example of in her department.

This will be a good test to see if Bondi will play hardball and do the right thing. So far Bondi appears to be weak and not up to the task of being AG in my opinion. Yes, it's early in her job right now but she has already dropped the ball and looked like a fool with the Epstein files and I'm having second thoughts about her being the AG. I hope she proves me wrong but I'm guessing she may be the first to be replaced in the Trump Cabinet.

As for Kristi Noem, she's just getting warmed up. I really believe she is going to be a force to be reckoned with and feared by many, especially by many cartel members.

BINGO
It's not rocket science simply put audits, accountability & tariffs the trifecta that will MAGA. Also, having President Trump running the country like a business instead of, as under previous administrations, a sheltered workshop for the incompetent, lazy and free loaders.

Transfer that formula to Australia, New Zealand, UK & Europe. Then suddenly they all have their M_GA moment and prosperity from there on in.

The knock on effect is that China begins to lose it industrial base.

Suddenly China will not be able to indulge in thoughts of taking Taiwan or flexing it muscle in the pacific. It will be to busy worrying about domestic matters such as feeding the population and avoiding civil war as the economy collapse.

Their massive naval fleet will be siting dock side rotting away, reminscent of the Soviet navy mid 1990's.

Sorry I have no pity for China they were happily willing to destroy western culture, murder millions via the COVID virus and take our countries by any every covert means from us.

( Maybe we should list Chinese companies operating within our respective borders as terrorists organisations and expel or charge employees for the economic, culture or otherwise act of terrorism and seize the assets of these terrorist organisations. )

China at that point in time maybe you can build a land bridge to Australia, Taiwan or Philippines using your excess to requirements naval fleet and conduct an invasion that way. You still gotta chance to rule the world China !!! Not !!!

Trump needs to seriously backtrack on this.

No "public action" is necessarily sacrosanct, nor necessarily wrong; not protests, nor "foreign aid to less wealth nations", nor immigration, nor using your gun to blow someone's brains out.

Illegal protests done with the intent of creating chaos and overthrowing legitimate governments (e.g. 'Maidan Uprising', Kyiv, the Ukraine, in January and February 2014), or apparent foreign aid used to launder billions of dollars into criminal hands (e.g. USAID), or billions of dollars of fraudulent Social Security, Medicare and Disability payments ostensibly to long dead recipients ... these are not honorable. As an honest, still quite living, recipient of such Social Security payments, I wholeheartedly support cleaning up the Social Security (and voter) rolls.

Blowing out the brains of someone actively engaged in a mass shooting and killing of students in a school (*) may well be honorable, especially if no other more expedient, more immediate, more effective, less violent, remedy presents itself.

If one cannot distinguish which is which, and colors all such with a black brush, or with a white brush, one will be wrong half the time.

(and an argument of the form "If Trump, therefore bad" does not compel consent ... it only disrupts discussion)

===

(*) I write here of mass school shootings as typically reported in the main stream media, putting aside my substantial skepticism of the honesty of most such reports.

As an honest, still quite living, recipient of such Social Security payments, I wholeheartedly support cleaning up the Social Security (and voter) rolls.

Blowing out the brains of someone actively engaged in a mass shooting and killing of students in a school (*) may well be honorable, especially if no other more expedient, more immediate, more effective, less violent, remedy presents itself.

If one cannot distinguish which is which, and colors all such with a black brush, or with a white brush, one will be wrong half the time.

(and an argument of the form "If Trump, therefore bad" does not compel consent ... it only disrupts discussion)

===

(*) I write here of mass school shootings as typically reported in the main stream media, putting aside my substantial skepticism of the honesty of most such reports.

To Pythonic Cow: I just read your post twice (where you refer to my post #659) and still don't see how that's related to my post. My post had absolutely nothing to do with school shootings or any other act of violence, as you seem to infer. I don't support incitation to acts of violence.

So, I'll just summarize here what I meant in my post #659, which is that free speech is undermined by the new rule imposed by Trump with regards to banning pro-Palestinian protests, or threatening of imprisoning certain people as "agitators" if they make a pro-Palestinian speech.

This is a very important issue with deep ramifications. For example, in Canada, during the scamdemic, we've seen how censorship got us all down a very slippery slope, when we couldn't even question the covid mandates on social media, or when anti-mandate protests were deemed 'illegal' by the 'authorities. People were arrested and charged for doing things that were not violent nor fundamentally illegal.

The distinction between inciting violence and protests properly allowed as free speech is, as you observe in your post, second link below, an important and sometimes quite controversial, question, as any mention of "Jan 6" to someone active in American politics might evidence.

It seems that we (the two of us) have already continued this discussion elsewhere, to which I refer any readers interested in our considerations on these questions:

I really appreciate the shout-outs and Ian’s kind words about my book, but there are some things I don’t think were portrayed necessarily accurately about my work, both regarding Epstein and otherwise, and I think I should take the time to clarify those things. I’m not looking to cast shade on anyone with this clarification, just that I think I am the most qualified person to represent my own work and when other people do it, not on my behalf but their own, it can sometimes lead to misconceptions.

My interest is ultimately in my work being accurately conveyed, particularly to large audiences. Obviously the best way to understand my book is to read it, but many who watch the Rogan podcast, for example, won’t. I would happily make these clarifications on Rogan’s platform or another platform of similar size if I ever got invited.

One thing I’d like to clarify is that my books do not make the claim that “Epstein was Mossad,” the book instead argues that Epstein was an important part of a network – though arguably middle management – for a group composed of transgenerational organized crime interests (most of whom are the remnant of the Jewish mob component of the National Crime Syndicate and who promote ethno-fascist policies including via their ethnically focused philanthropy, among other activities) and major factions within both American and Israeli intelligence. They are not synonymous with either intelligence agency but arguably dominate the leadership of those intelligence agencies.

Evidence for Epstein’s ties to Israeli intelligence links him with Israeli military intelligence as opposed to Mossad, which are different parts of the Israeli intelligence apparatus (For example, it would be like confusing the DIA with the CIA). However, as noted above, Epstein was ultimately working for a network that greatly influences and exerts significant control over both the US and Israel (among other places) and that network is more loyal to itself than any one nation and also involves multiple intelligence agencies. While many people do casually use Mossad as a catch-all term for Israeli intelligence, I don’t agree with that and not making the accurate distinction creates an opening for dishonest actors to discredit the work that I and others have done on this topic when not framed properly.

Another thing I’d like to clarify is the implication that my historical reporting on the Epstein case is commendable, while my more current reporting on technocracy is significantly less so. My book on Epstein concludes with an entire chapter discussing how Epstein became irrelevant and thus expendable because the union of Big Tech with the intelligence apparatus, particularly those intelligence agencies most corrupted by the “Epstein network”, with a major focus on the national security contractor Palantir and its co-founder Peter Thiel.

While Ian is an admitted fan of my book, the reporting on technocracy that he describes as more of a turn-off for most than my Epstein book is actually in the book on Epstein itself and is arguably the main conclusion as it related to the present, from the book. There, I note that Palantir is the privatization and recreation of a nefarious neocon project developed by top figures from the Iran-Contra scandal and how tools like it, and its Unit 8200-developed equivalents from Israel, have amassed so much information on us and can also plant false or incriminating evidence on one’s devices without their knowledge, have made the type of sex blackmail ops once practiced by Epstein and other figures mentioned in the book no longer needed or relevant.

I am not sure if Ian has discussed Thiel or Palantir very much (I don’t believe he has but may be wrong on that), but a lot of my concerns about technocracy and the current administration are intimately related to both and those concerns are very well documented in One Nation Under Blackmail (which was published even before the official confirmation of Thiel-Epstein meetings). Of course, Peter Thiel’s errand boy now being Vice President of the US and the many Thiel or Palantir-adjacent figures in this administration make this not politically expedient to point out, particularly if the views you publicly propagate involve claiming that the current administration is a major departure from the Epstein network, which I argue – in my book as well as today – that it is likely not.

In that same vein, I think it is important to push back as nicely as possible on Ian’s suggestion that the Erik Prince “unplugged” phone seems to be a good investment for those concerned about illegal surveillance. While Ian has since described that as an “off-handed” comment and that he hasn't researched the phone, I think both he and everyone should know the following.

Prince has a close relationship with and hired the Unit 8200 alumnus and co-founder of the Epstein and Thiel-funded (and Ehud Barak-chaired) Carbyne911, which seeks to harvest as much data off of your phone as possible when you call 911 and feed the same pre-crime paradigm with that data that Palantir is also seeking to develop (Carbyne is discussed in my book as well). With this woman (her name is Lital Leshem), Prince has developed a very suspect company to funnel technology and products developed by foreign military/intelligence (in this case, Israel) to the US military, creating a loophole for acquisition of what would normally be forbidden products for the US military. In addition, the “unplugged” phone itself was also developed by Unit 8200 almuni. This is significant as Israel has an admitted policy of using companies created by “former” Unit 8200 operatives as fronts for activities Unit 8200 and Mossad once conducted “in house”. For anyone concerned about sex blackmail, Israeli intelligence espionage and/or pre-crime, stay as far away from this phone as possible. Sources for some of the points made above are contained in reporting that I published after my book came out, so I will post those links below.

To conclude, I am more than happy to and very capable of representing my own work to any audience, and when other people try to represent my work instead of me, even if well-intentioned, it can lead to misconceptions about me, my work and my conclusions and I think it is well within reason for me to do my best to ensure that my work is portrayed as accurately as possible.

And as usual- she dropped knowledge and details and facts. I aspire to be half as informed as Whitney before I die.

Good man Jim - well done

"One Nation Under Blackmail" now downloaded and I'll get it into the library this weekend

This is a start in the right direction. Personally, I'd like to see all those involved in the assassination attempt of Trump in Butler, PA arrested.

Kash Patel’s FBI Arrests Three For Alleged Treason

The Federal Bureau of Investigation on Friday announced that three U.S. service members have been arrested and charged with treason, a significant win for new Director Kash Patel after less than two weeks on the job.

In a statement, the U.S. Department of Justice said that two active-duty U.S. Army soldiers and a veteran were in the process of attempting to sell national defense intelligence to Chinese agents when they were arrested.

“Jian Zhao, and Li Tian, active-duty U.S. Army soldiers stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, along with Ruoyu Duan, a former U.S. Army soldier, were arrested today following indictments by federal grand juries in the District of Oregon and the Western District of Washington,” the DOJ said in a Thursday press release.

An investigation has found 5 ActBlue-funded groups responsible for Tesla “protests”: Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project and Democratic Socialists of America.

ActBlue funders include George Soros, Reid Hoffman, Herbert Sandler, Patricia Bauman, and Leah Hunt-Hendrix.

ActBlue is currently under investigation for allowing foreign and illegal donations in criminal violation of campaign finance regulations. This week, 7 ActBlue senior officials resigned, including the associate general counsel.

If you know anything about this, please post in replies. Thanks, Elon.

Trump’s Border Czar Marks Presidents’ Day With Statistic That Puts Biden Admin To Shame

Quote:
" President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, revealed a statistic on Presidents’ Day that indicates the United States is successfully cracking down on illegal crossings in a way not seen in decades.

“In the last 24 hours the US Border Patrol has encountered a total of 229 aliens across the entire southwest border. That is down from a high of over 11,000 a day under [President Joe] Biden,” Homan said in a post to X on Monday. “I started as a Border Patrol Agent in 1984 and I don’t remember the numbers ever being that low. President Trump promised a secure border and he is delivering.” "

I found the full video of the @BernieSanders rally performance of "Does your God have a big fat d*ck?" by transgender singer Laura Jane Grace and it’s somehow more evil than it sounds.

The song specifically attacks Christianity with mentions of Easter and God’s son.

Pure evil is what the Democrats stand for now. Make no mistake, this is a war of good vs. evil.

Beyond disgusting and incredibly evil.

I looked everywhere trying to see if this is fake and BS to no avail, I'm having a hard time believing that this was actually allowed at Bernie's rally.
