People are just as terrified as they are confused right now. Many Republican and Democrat voters both wanted to avoid foreign wars if possible, settle ongoing wars, bring down the cost of living and have a better security net where a moderate medical emergency doesn’t spell immediate doom.
Now the Ukraine war is raging on, Iran’s military capabilities are getting decimated, Russia is gearing up for a bigger offensive against all of Europe, China can move against Taiwan soon, the national debt is exploding, corporations are still getting the luxury treatment while top politicians, business tycoons and celebs are in the Epstein files talking about how they want teens and toddlers.
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 with total confidence. 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. 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.
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 which is a scam different empires had used in the past for different purposes.
Elite Anglo circles played long deception games in the past. Powerful US individuals and British aristocrats pretended to like the Nazis, then did a rug pull. Read Louis Kilzer’s book “Churchill’s Deception” to see how much effort goes into operations like this. It is likely that the Putin regime has been lulled into a false sense of security.
Professionals are playing the power game so well they can even fool competing empires.
The media sphere is of no help for us. It is dominated by creepy elites who are basically the type who would have partied with Epstein, influencers who are grossly incompetent because their professional background was in comedy and forein influence-operations employing mass fake accounts on social media and whole buildings full of devices and armies of keyboard soldiers.
Everyone’s favorite influencer can quickly shift:
- Candace Owens was on the left, then she became a MAGA operative and now she’s anti-Trump, fighting the Windmills of Zion and embracing ever more unhinged ideas.
- Tucker Carlson was anti-China and totally cool with Israel. Now he’s saying the US should let China have more global power, Muslim cities are thriving and the satanist Russian Alexander Dugin is a philosopher.
- Joe Rogan became popular with time-wasting entertainment and he threw some bones to the conspiracy crowd. He marketed himself as a kind of folk hero, teaching the young poor frustrated men how to be strong and successful in an environment dominated by mean elites. Now he is close with some of Epstein’s most powerful friends, cashing in on his spotify deal and parroting dangerous political garbage he’s too incompetent to understand.
- Alex Jones used to warn about the Russians, Western elites and both Democrats and Republicans. Then he turned into a Moscow muppet, conspired with General Flynn and Steve Pieczenik and became an infomercial for MAGA GOP.
Would you get surgery from a comedian? From an activist? A manosphere pimp? A religious fanatic? Someone who has watched some surgery content on Youtube while stoned? A mentally ill person? Someone who simply finds surgery really awesome but has zero training? A former TV news anchor? An investor? No? Why are you letting such people influence you on security matters, wars, empires, espionage and history?
Ideologies are also not your friends.They are not the magic key to understand the world and fix the problems. They are just outdated, misleading packages of ideas structured like cults.
The new mode of imperialism was meant to confuse with artificial complexity
Russia, China, Iran and many other countries are stuck in dumb, classic imperial mode. The Anglo sphere was radically smarter and practically faked its own enlightenment phase to harness the power of the people without giving them real control. A tight circle of aristocrats and old-money-quasi-aristocrats runs the government, major banks and industries. Political parties and corporations are run as front organizations, using standard everyday espionage/intelligence techniques. It seems a lot more complex than it truly is. Through faking freedom, democracy and capitalism it became too hard to understand for the average citizen. Ideologies are false, confusing guides which lead nowhere. A modern citizen has the right to exhaust himself with work, pay taxes, drink booze, enjoy pointless entertainment, vote and run his mouth about political topics without affecting any change.
The enlightenment was not some magic power that changed the West and will always protect us. There was no fairy dust. Old elites didn’t just disappear. They bought or built all the parts and pieces of the new era. It is no accident that Americans feel like serfs today. It’s not because of some jewish conspiracy from the Windmills of Zion. It’s not because private property is the root cause of evil or because fundamental rights are bad. Joining the socialist cult won’t save you from terrible conditions. Preaching libertarianism sounds nice but libertarianism has never become a full-fledged science on how to achieve and maintain freedom.
After George Washington declared victory over King George III. the new United States of America were not a wonderland. A true fundamental change was simply impossible in that time under the circumstances. Turning Washington and the “founding fathers” into saints may have established some cultural American stability. But it led to endless confusion about “what went wrong” in the following generations. The real American people were not famous or super-famous. The real people who performed, strived, achieved.
The US expanded like classic empires did, by force or by trade. Many structures from the British Empire were copied. The natives were not noble creatures as some silly people have convinced themselves to believe. But the systematic destruction of the natives was as significant as the slave economy. These dark topics have been hijacked by the socialist cult and turned into a silly “white guilt” agenda. Patriotic Americans either avoid these matters and block their own thinking process or they double down and say that was all somehow acceptable back then and only dirty woke communists would complain about old “colonialism”. But these very same patriots are suffering today because they live like poor serfs under a terrible aristocracy. You can’t have it both ways. You can’t make all the excuses for past imperialism and then complain when you suffer under imperialist conditions. You can’t tout American freedom over tyranny and American independence when you have no real understanding about the tyranny the British Colonies on the American East Coast were under. King George III. was not a stereotype British monarch. He was born in Hannover, Germany, into a vast and old aristocratic supercluster.
American patriots could never really figure out “what went wrong”. How did the free wonderland of the “founding fathers” turn into such a mess? The standard answers are all misleading. It’s not because people didn’t worship the founding fathers enough. When the left movement became vaguely relevant around the year 1900 the US was already a huge mess. The reason for the mess was not that people weren’t going to church enough. It was not because everything new is automatically bad. It was not because robber barons magically sprang into existence. It was not because of some tiny jewish families with magic superpowers of subversion.
The US was never a wonderland to begin with. It will never be a wonderland until patriots start to understand this and the true reasons why it was never a wonderland.
The British empire continued massive intel operations against the new US. Various other European empires and tsarist Russia flooded the US with spies disguised as migrants, to create entire spy rings and sleeper cells. Sometimes jews were used because they didn’t appear to have ties to the big empires. Europe had a history of recruiting and controlling “court jews”. Britain modernized this technique by making some court jews appear really powerful when they were just cut-outs. Traditional conspiracy mythology is bogus. The little Rothschild family was recruited by the mighty House of Hessen and then handed over to the British crown. None of the fairy tales are true about the Rothschilds stealing from the Landgraf of Hessen, scamming the London Stock Market after the Battle of Waterloo, or taking control of the Bank of England and the London banking district.
The most powerful and far-reaching force that has ever come out of Europe after the fall of the Western Roman empire is the aristocratic Welf-Wettin-Reginar cluster. They are a historical anomaly because of their sheer size, group loyalty and intelligence capabilities. In 1714 this cluster was installing George I. on the British throne. Welfs are at least 1200 years old and multiplied from generation to generation. Together with their irregular children without official titles they could spread where they had control, from specific German territories like Saxony, Hessen, Hannover, Schleswig-Holstein, Sachsen Coburg und Gotha to Denmark, Britain, Nordic countries. The Russia tsars were from this cluster. And of course the cluster wanted to infiltrate the US.
A classic totalitarian empire today is not the answer
Some frustrated Americans believe they need classic totalitarian structures or help from foreign totalitarian states. This is a fundamental error. Whether it’s a form of “white power ethno regime” or hoping Putin will invade and “liberate” America.
Powerful empires have existed for around 10,000 years and they were structured more or less in the same way: 90% of the people were serfs or slaves. A serf had marginally more rights than a slave, but still had to work hard his etire life for a place to sleep and some food. Most were farmers because producing grain financed the operations of the empire, the luxury of the elites and the standing armies. Grain was like money as it could be stored, hoarded, transported and eaten. But the farming techniques were primitive, they had no machines and bad weather would spell doom. If you didn’t get critically injured while faring or sick, you could be called up as a soldier and die in some war you didn’t understand. Above the serfs were a few percent of the population with a higher status that came with a lot of responsibility. Above that an elite of about 1% whose members had different levels of power. An aristocrat may have only controlled a few hundred serfs of slaves. Another aristocrat commanded tens of thousands. Another hundreds of thousands. A ruler could afford insanely expensive palaces.
Life was crazy, miserable and full of risks for almost everybody. Anything could wipe you or your family out. You aged very fast. This is why elites had to control religion. It was used as a tool to manage populations. You don’t have to be an atheist or believe in silly Marxism to understand that.
You could not break free of the system or even just improve it. If you tried you would almost certainly fail. In the Assyrian empire you would have been skinned alive. The British empire would have castrated and disemboweled you publicly for going against the crown. The essence of an empire was the best possible allocation of its resources which needed timely and precise information and protection of secrets. This is how large-scale professional espionage/intelligence and counterintelligence was truly born. We may not have convenient boxes of intelligence files from ancient or medieval empires like we do with some modern services. But there are mountains of data about how rebellious groups, individuals and foreign enemies were spied on and prosecuted. For the longest time the Catholic Church was the monopoly in many parts of Europe. If you so much as spoke out against the teachings or professed disinterest your life was in danger.
The main reason for this totalitarian control was the shaky foundation of all empires: The grain production paid for everything. To produce grain you needed suitable land. This land needed to be protected by expensive military forces. There wasn’t much room for error. A bad mood in some region of the empire could become a rebellion which was costly to put down.
Living in an empire was miserable. Participating in a rebellion or “revolution” may have collapsed one imperial structure but it didn’t change the imperial game itself. A collapsed empire could easily be taken over by another empire. Or you could end up in a chaos of competing factions fighting to take over control.
Roughly around the year 1700 the first major shift in 10,000 years was announcing itself the form of modern science. New steam machines changed the calculation of how much manpower you needed. The British “Royal Society” was reshaped into a more serious scientific organization. The future would not be dictated by how much grain you could produce with hordes of impoverished serfs. It would be dictated by inventions, innovations and the scale of production of goods and military equipment. But that meant more people needed an education, stability in their lives and more freedom to think. This would obviously be a danger to the elites. How to solve this conundrum?
Some empires like the French monarchy more or less chose to avoid this shift. It could still invade other places in the world and exploit them. It could still use slave labor. But the monarchy went broke and didn’t survive the 1700s. Tsarist Russia never changed until it broke down. The communists had promised an end to imperialism, serfdom and all exploitation, yet the Soviet Union was simply a traditional oldschool empire. Party elites exercised totalitarian control and most of the common people were still living under serf-like conditions. They had to work day in – day out and could not escape the system or change anything about it. Just voicing something could get you very long Gulag sentences. The USSR used Marxism-Leninism as a cult. Certain Rites of passage, rituals, the expectation of salvation and other elements in the life of a regular soviet citizen were modeled after normal religions. From the earliest moment the Soviet leadership understood that a socialist economy could not transform a backwards primitive Russia into an industrial powerhouse so the only course of action was to buy Western capitalist technology and complete factories.
The current Putin regime is made up of many former 5th Directorate KGB staff. Whether they really consider themseves to be the “Third Rome” now or secretly want to bring back classic communism doesn’t matter. It is still a trditional miserable empire. Putin’s serfs are trapped in this cult and they can’t escape or change it.
Islam has been operating in classic imperialist mode for about 1400 years. Islam is not much different than the many religions of ancient Persia or Mesopotamia. The focus was about expansion. The level of brutality was not more or less than countless other empires because they all fundamentally functioned the same. Muslims refused to modernize their imperialism and as a result they lost their empire, the caliphate.
The winners
The clear winner in history is the Welf-Wettin-Reginar cluster. Their expansion is as mind-boggling as the fact that they were able, over time, to fade into the shadows while ruling through political and economic front organizations.
If you were ever curious as to whether some “Illuminati” style group with European origins really exists, this is it.
Traditional conspiracy mythology is bogus and was first used by the socialist movement about 200 years ago, then the radical right picked it up.
The deepest secret is the extent of the infiltration of the socialist movement by aristocratic spy services before the revolution in Russia.
