When Donald Trump and his administrations were expected to make Russia and Iran happy, the influencer sphere on social media was glowing. Total salvation was near, they said. From General Flynn, to Steve Pieczenik on the Alex Jones show to the Q cult to X accounts with magically high numbers, we heard about sensational plots to arrest the leftist “deep state” and expose every grand conspiracy.
But now Moscow feels it has misread the whole situation for years. They were not the only ones running long deception or obfuscation campaigns. The Trump admins supported Ukraine in the war despite some weird public commentary, NATO enlarged and increased funding, Iran’s military capabilities are being dismantled right now, the US military is ready to counter China in the Pacific and Venezuela’s leader was kidnapped.
Even the worst of the Epstein scandal is being swept under a big heavy rug.
Russia has been played and it’s using the social media networks now to damage Trump and the GOP. Embedded into every topic is classic antisemitic conspiracy lore: The reason Trump ordered the attack on Iran? Well, Israel (meaning the Windmills of Zion) made him do it. Everyone is now labeled a Mossad agent.
People are encouraged to vote Democrat. Anything to damage the GOP in the midterms.
A portion of the individual influencer campaigns appears to be funded or amplified by Muslim countries such as Qatar and Turkey. Famous faces are now telling us that Muslim cities are thriving while the West is just degenerate. Muslim extremism happened because of Western imperialism. We are also hearing that the US must share more global power with China.
Some prominent individuals taking part in these influencer campaigns do it for the money and the status. Others have fallen for a Russian deception that started 40 years ago and was built for influential Western rightwingers in the military, politics and business. A younger Putin, already with the KGB, was part of it and contacted a Russian princess who was living in a German castle. She had the best contacts in the Western European elite rightwing. She later wrote in her books about a supposed powerful rightwing underground that existed in the late USSR and then brought down the soviet rule. Even 100 years ago the Russian emigré circles were infiltrated by soviet spies and placed a large emphasis on classic conspiracy mythology. These emigrés connected with German fascists and US military officials.
Laura Loomer is now saying:
CIA source tells me the CIA has hard evidence that Turkey, and more specifically the Erdogan administration, has specifically directed spending for podcasters to undermine the Trump administration’s Middle East agenda. The CIA has evidence of this Turkish funding going to at least one female podcaster and at least one male podcaster.
FBI Director Kash Patel’s girlfriend just reported that she was targeted by a campaign that labeled her a Mossad spy.
Data shows 3.1 million retweet engagements. 80% of all activity was pure amplification. Catholics for Catholics lists Gen. Michael Flynn as ‘Current Senior Advisor’ on their own website.
Flynn is the anchor of a digital infrastructure that has been repeatedly activated — at every major Republican fracture point — over 22 months of documented data. The same accounts appear at every chapter.
A coordinated narrative falsely identifies the FBI Director’s girlfriend as a Mossad honeypot. The origin post — from a supplement influencer with 1.1 million followers built through the COVID medical freedom movement — gets a labeled inorganic-seeming, uncommon, 20 million views. This is the network’s method: anonymous mass deployment, then credentialed amplification. The connection runs in both directions. RT_com posted about me — and SlightlyOffens, amplified RT’s content. When RIFTV posted, a military journalist based in Moscow hosting content on a Kremlin-adjacent Orthodox TV channel amplified it back out. The same loop. The same network. Running in both directions.
After Charlie Kirk was assassinated Candace Owens immediately attributed the killing to Israel and targeted Kirk’s widow by name. Many of the same online accounts activate immediately. A moment of natural Republican unity is converted, within hours, into one of the most sustained fracture points of the year.
Joe Kent resigns as NCTC Director. That same day Catholics for Catholics — a Flynn associated organization — announces Kent at their Washington gala. Within 24 hours: Tucker Carlson interview. Within 72 hours: Kent on stage with Flynn and Candace Owens at the Waldorf Astoria.
The Soviet template: Infiltrate the Western rightwing, use conspiracy mythology
From the very first moment the Soviets tried to infiltrate the anti-communist movement internationally.
The Romanov circles and other emigrés tried to connect with anybody in the West who was rightwing or ultra-rightwing, including the German Nazis. They tried to connect with Brits and Americans. Especially they tried to instill this mentality into powerful American business people and officers from the military and the intelligence community.
We know that the fake protocols of Zion came out of Russia. But the Romanovs then made it a much bigger thing. The role of the leftover Romanovs has been understated to a large degree. They still had money. They still had contacts and they could pay for activists. They could pay groups and they could tell them what the trends are and push these fake protocols of Zion and say that true anti-communism has to be this, that and the other. And if you deviate from that line you are the enemy.
This started essentially with the grand duke Kirill Vladimir of Russia who was a first cousin of the last Zar. The guy sounded very Russian but he’s from these European aristocratic families.
Kirill then proclaimed himself emperor in exile in 1926. So he vowed to return to Russia one day or his children or children’s children would return to Russia one day and reclaim the throne. Meanwhile, they were going to have this Russian emperor throne in exile. But then Kirill became known as the Soviet Zar because in the event of a restoration of the monarchy, he intended to keep some of the features of the Soviet regime.
Kirill found his strongest support among a group known as the Mladorossi which ultimately became heavily influenced by fascism. The organization called itself super right-wing but eventually began to exhibit pro-soviet sympathies, arguing that the monarchy and the Soviet system could peacefully coexist. So you would have the throne and below that would be a socialist type system. It would perfectly work together. The Mladorossi believed that the Soviet government for all its negative ideology was preserving the Russian state and defending its national interests. They also believed that the October Revolution was merely the beginning of an evolutionary process that would create a new young Russia. Mladorossi used the slogan “Zar and the Soviets”.
Kirill then had to distance himself from the organization when its founder was spotted meeting with Soviet diplomats, which probably meant Soviet spies.
Kirill Romanov, the emperor in exile, was close to members of the Nazi party when he was in Germany. He is said to have paid Ludendorff a sum of nearly half a million gold marks in 1922 or 1923. Kirill’s son was Grand Duke Vladimir. During World War II Vladimir was living in Britany and in 1941 he issued the following statement:
“In this grave hour when Germany and almost all the nations of Europe have declared a crusade against communism and bolshevism which has enslaved and oppressed the people of Russia for 24 years, I turn to all the faithful and loyal sons of our homeland with this appeal. Do what you can to the best of your ability to bring down the Bolshevik regime and to liberate our homeland from the terrible yoke of communism.”
The problem was the Romanovs did it wrong. They tried to encourage people to rebel against the Soviets but for a while they were saying we could coexist with the Soviets, work with the Soviets. The Romanovs were making all the big mistakes and they paid all these activist groups and they tried to be with these American businesspeople.
The Romanovs added another whole layer to the conspiracy mythology which elevated the laughable forgeries like the protocols of Zion to the highest possible status.
The protocols were obviously fake and they were even exposed very early on as a fake but through people like the Romanovs and the organizations they paid and their powerful friends in the West, even in Britain and the US, the protocols of Zion became a big hit. This is how people began to see that conspiracy mythology as the core of anti-communism. The big baffling joke was that the Romanovs were from the houses of Hessen and Schleswig-Holstein. They could have simply asked their relatives in Europe, on German or British or Danish soil: “Is this conspiracy mythology true? Did these little Jewish families take over the British Empire?” And their relatives could have told them: “Absolutely not. The whole Rothschild fairy tales are garbage. They didn’t steal from the Landgraf of Hessen. They didn’t scam the stock market in London.”
But still the Romanovs pushed this mythology so hard.
Today there are many people out there, they read this stuff on the internet and totally believe it. They copy it. And so they go around and rehash, copy and paste these old claims about the elders of Zion. And when you disagree, they will say that you work for the Jews or you are Jewish.
And every time they play this routine they claim they’re actively fighting the conspiracy.
The KGB popularized this material so massively in the Muslim world that basically more than a billion Muslims believe it. So every right-winger or ultra-rightwinger, everybody who styles himself an anti-communist, believes they’re special. They claim they have special knowledge. But no. They believe the same as more than a billion Muslims. Even a Muslim goat herder believes this. It’s nothing special. It’s a mass product aimed at the masses.
The old influencers
There was this character Cherep Spiridovich, a conspiracy author who was funded by Henry Ford, the American car mogul. Henry Ford also popularized the protocols of Zion in America.
This Russian count revitalized an old fairy tale about 300 Jewish families running the big conspiracy which then influenced the book called “the conspirator hierarchy, the story of the committee of 300” by John Coleman.
And we saw a continuous relationship between American intelligence and the Romanovs in exile with people like Colonel Harris Houghton, Colonel John Jacob Astor, Major General Ralph Van Deamon, Colonel Williams Bryant, Colonel Nicholas Biddle, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and others.
Henry Ford created his own personal intelligence service and hired a substantial number of exiled Russians, so-called white Russians.
Boris Brasol had a copy of Nius’s edition of the protocols of Zion which was then passed to Harris Houghton and his group of military intelligence people. They paid for the translation of the protocols and Henry Ford then turned them into a mass phenomenon.
Same as today, lots of Russians involved, and they contact these American industrialists and they want to build this whole anticommunist movement, but it’s completely infiltrated. The stated goal back then was to create an anti-communist international based on conspiracy lore.
Cherep Spiridovich, the conspiracy author, probably collaborated with the so-called ace of spies, Sydney Riley.
Herman Bernstein sued Henry Ford over the fake protocols of Zion and published the book “history of a lie” in 1921. A white Russian emigré, who ran his own intelligence group, supplied Ford with materials for the lawsuit against Bernstein. The Russian also forged documents against two US senators. Boris Brasol was also contracted to help Mr. Ford.
There were a bunch of Jews and partial Jews in Russia who often didn’t really follow the Jewish faith anymore. They were living on the outskirts of a thin middle class in Russia and they got swept up in this left movement. This fueled the hyperfocus on that Jewish attribute later.
Lenin was called a Jew. He had a grandfather named Siril Moisevich Blank in Odessa who lived in the early 1800s. One Jewish grandfather who converted to the Orthodox church and changed his name. Otherwise Lenin was descended from Russians and Kalmyks. He was basically a Russian who joined the communist revolution.
His father was not a religious man and his mother was somewhat. The Bolshevik conundrum was how to transform rowdy peasants into proletarians and capable revolutionaries.
Semites are a huge group. Going back thousands of years in the whole Mesopotamia era area and various empires that came afterwards, the Babylonians and the Assyrians, Phoenetians and the Carthaginians.
Jews were a tiny fraction from that super large Semitic group and it’s difficult to have coherence when you’re forced to escape in all kinds of directions.
It’s impossible to have this super-conspiracy going on, especially if you don’t have a state, state power. You can’t create false legends, you can’t create false histories, you can’t create false documents, you don’t have an army, you don’t have a place to escape to. You don’t have a place to train your agents if you’re scattered around the world.
Mingling with fascists
In Germany these white Russian emigrés collaborated with the Nazis through an organization named Aufbau. A leader of German military intelligence worked with Grand Duke Romanov and of course members of the houses of Hessen, Schleswig-Holstein and others eventually joined the Nazi party. The same families that the Romanovs were from.
General Ludenorff established an intelligence service for Kirill Romanov. Walter Nikolai had worked for Ludenorff as the head of the German army high command intelligence service during World War I.
Russian monarchists funneled large sums of money to the Nazi party, the NSDAP. Boris Brasol and other members of the Aufbau, especially Kirill’s wife Grand Duchess Victoria, connected the German extreme right-wing to the Americans like Henry Ford.
Brasol, who had an American citizenship, secretly helped organize an anti-communist congress in Germany with the support of the Gestapo.
The assembly included speakers, guests from Canada, France, England, and Switzerland. Heinrich Himmler showed interest in Brasol in August 1938.
Today it’s the same playbook. The American conspiracy influencer Alex Jones claimed in 2024 that the Rothschilds had had so much control over Britain that they could destroy the Tsarist rule in Russia and replace it with Jewish communism. As a Judas style payback to the Rothschilds, Lenin supposedly gave Ukraine away. After more than 80 years, Putin managed to liberate his people. But the United States is still kind of occupied by the Rothschild conspiracy. American patriots need Putin’s help for liberation.
And this is basically what Jones was alluding to. Jones was in contact with retired US General Michael Flynn who had his own scandals. It’s the same program that was pushed by exiled Romanovs and these white Russian immigrant circles.
