TRUMP'S 5-D CHESS
Epstein Files, Venezuela, Israel, Ukraine
The Epstein TRAP: Trump, Israel & the DEATH of America, Prof Jiang Xueqin
Following is a partial transcript of the above video. It’s encouraging, because it looks like Trump may be fooling the media and the Deep State and is really dismantling the American empire (as well as Zionism) in order to make America great again. Some of the statements below seem contradictory, but I’m okay with that for a while. I’m sharing this because I think it’s important for the public to know. The speaker has a Substack at https://predictivehistory.substack.com/archive. This Substack post of his called THE TRUMP SHOW is probably relevant. PS, Jiang is said to be from Canada, but has been teaching in China since 1998 or so.

ELITES LIVE IN A BUBBLE
Professor Jiang Xueqin, Trump is going to now ask his own attorney general and the Department of Justice and the FBI to investigate Epstein’s involvement with the leadership and with the relationships with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reed Hoffman, JP Morgan, and on and on, saying it’s fake like the Russia-gate scam. What is the conspiracy here? Because just as this was happening, you had Trump begging for Netanyahu to be pardoned and we have a major political crisis {govt shutdown?} and of course the collapsing American empire all coming together.
I will give a structural overview of what these emails reveal to us. The first thing is that all these people in power, the elite, they’re all friends with each other. In public the Democrats and Republicans can be fighting each other, but in reality, they go to the same schools, to the same parties, they’re just friends with each other. So what you’re seeing in public, the sort of political struggle in public, it’s all just fake. It’s like wrestling, or reality TV. The second thing that we’ve noticed about the emails is how cavalier the elite are. They think that they’re above everyone else. They think they’re untouchable. So they just speak their minds freely. Jeffrey Epstein was using Gmail in order to make all these sensitive communications. There’s absolutely no operational security. He didn’t really care because he believed he was untouchable. That’s how the elite think and behave. They live in a bubble. They think that they control the world and they’re untouchable. So they can do whatever they want. And all that matters is staying within this bubble, staying close to each other. The third thing I will say is that these emails don’t tell us but we can assume that there are many layers of networking among the elite.
ELITE TRUST VIA BLACKMAIL
Epstein, why was he so popular among the elite? Well, first of all, he was just a friendly guy who did a lot of networking and was able to bring the elite together. But if you go to Epstein Island, you will find that there’s a temple there that’s almost designed for ritual sacrifice. So what I’ve researched and discovered is that the way the elite stay together is through rituals, secret society rituals. Why? Because at the end of the day, if you’re part of elite, your biggest problem is trust. How can you trust that person to not rat you out in this political struggle? And the answer is you blackmail each other. You do acts together that are considered taboo, including sex with underage children. There are lots of transgressions that they can do and the more transgressions they do the more cohesive the elite is. So unfortunately if you dig deeper into Jeffrey Epstein, what you’ll find is a lot of transgressions both sexual and violent. What’s really astonishing about the Jeffrey Epstein case is that slowly the inner workings of the elite are being revealed to the public and all these conspiracy theories that we once believed couldn’t possibly be true, including that the entire American elite are just a bunch of pedophiles, are slowly turning out to be true and this marks a radical turning point in American history.
POLITICIANS AS PUPPETS OF THE ELITE
There is this email between Epstein and his brother Mark. Mark says, ask SOMEONE if Putin has the photos of Trump blowing Bubba. This is how they’re talking to each other on an unsecure server. Maybe you can elaborate on what this really reveals. What I see is a dying American empire kind of just being exposed, not by journalists, but by themselves.
Remember that Jeffrey Epstein in his Manhattan penthouse had a painting of Bill Clinton in a dress, in drag basically. So one possible interpretation is that all these politicians that we think are our representatives, they’re all just the play things of the elite. They’re just puppets of the elite, paid actors. They’re literally paid. Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, they just do the bidding of the powerful. And the powerful are in their secret parties laughing at us, mocking us, because they’ve been able to deceive us and we every day are fighting over petty politics that has absolutely nothing to do with real power. So I think that what these Epstein emails reveal is the deep contempt that the elite have for the people. And these politicians are nothing more than puppets that the elite display in front of us in order to distract us. Everything’s being created by the powerful and so what we see in Washington DC is nothing more than a reality TV show.
EPSTEIN & ISRAEL
I think one of the things that is left out of this conversation has been Israel. Because this was a limited release by the House Oversight Committee by the US government itself. So really it was a partisan thing despite how much the emails really showed. But I want to pull up what emails are not being emphasized, this one in particular talking about how Epstein was effectively drafting foreign policy messaging for former Israeli PM Ehud Barack. I think many people would like your views on Egypt, Syria, Russia and Jeffrey Epstein giving advice on how Israel should paint US foreign policy. I think this really blows open the realities of these relationships and how it gets all the way to the level of empire.
The first thing we need to understand is that power always consolidates and coalesces. Intelligence agencies, Mossad, CIA, MI6, are all interlocked together, all in alliance together. Second thing is that these intelligence agencies are also in alliance with different secret societies as well as criminal organizations. So from the perspective of people like Jeffrey Epstein, he thinks he’s the real power in the world and thinks that he can dictate foreign policy to everyone. I don’t think Jeffrey Epstein was actually a spy. I think Ghislaine Maxwell, his girlfriend, was actually the spy. And one good piece of evidence for that is that her father, Robert Maxwell, was a notorious spy and he was working for Mossad, MI6, as well as Russian intelligence, the KGB. The powerful are almost like a nexus of all these intelligence agencies, foreign governments, secret societies and criminal organizations. And so they discuss amongst themselves how to best frame issues and how to best push events. So if you look at Jeffrey Epstein’s emails, what you would discover is that he was privy to a lot of geopolitical events and in fact he was actually helping to plan a lot of geopolitical events as well. Even though there’s wars going on between Russia and Ukraine, guess what? The elite of Ukraine and Russia are all friends. The elite of Europe and Russia and Ukraine and America are all friends. They go to the same parties. Their children go to the same schools. They’re probably intermarried with with each other. As more and more of these Epstein files are released, the more and more we will discover that the elite are all interconnected. They’re just playing us for fools. That I think is the ultimate message of these files release.
HOW THE ELITE COLLABORATE
While Jeffrey Epstein seemingly was working for Israel, he was working within the United States and tugging on all of the most powerful people to the point where he had all of the dirt on Donald Trump and then he ended up dead.
So the first thing to note is that Jeffrey Epstein is not unique. You go to any major American city, I guarantee you there is a Jeffrey Epstein like figure coordinating among the city’s different politicians, celebrities, mafia organizations, secret societies. So Jeffrey Epstein is a very common character in today’s world. Now why is that the case? I will highlight three structural issues with today’s world. The first major problem with today’s world is the atomization of society. Meaning that we focus on the individual, whereas before in previous societies we focused on the family, the tribe, the clan. But nowadays we’ve all been atomized, individualized. That diminishes our capacity to work together for the pursuit of certain political ends. Second major problem in today’s world is globalization, multiculturalism, transnationalism. So people’s sense of ethnic identity has been diluted and so people are less willing to work for a culturally cohesive cause. The third and most major problem is the bureaucratization of society. You look at the growth of the federal government in Washington DC, the growth of the EU superstate in Europe. The problem with this is that bureaucracies are indifferent, aloof, compartmentalized. All these different departments are siloed off and they cannot coordinate together. So in today’s society you have a problem of coordination. How do you get groups to work together? Well you get them to work together mainly for secret societies, because secret societies solve three major problems. The first is secrecy, second is trust and the third is collaboration. Secrecy because you don’t want to be discovered. If you are discovered, people would think that you’re cheating in this game and then you would be outlawed, persecuted. Trust is how do you trust members of your society not to rat you out? And the third is how do you work together for a common cause, collaboration? And the solution to all three problems is of course blackmail. So you need someone like Jeffrey Epstein to help the elite coalesce together through blackmail by engaging in acts of transgression, whether it’s ritual sexual abuse of children which is very common, etc. But look there are actually even worse forms of transgression. I’m not going to go into them, because they are disgusting and vile. The only way for the elite to work together is through blackmail. Otherwise, they don’t trust each other. Otherwise, they’ll go to war with each other.
THERE’S NO DIRT ON TRUMP
With regard to Donald Trump, people forget that Trump’s first mentor and his most influential teacher was actually Roy Cohn. Cohn was actually the original Jeffrey Epstein, part of the Washington gay mafia and he specialized in blackmailing politicians. He was very good friends with J. Edgar Hoover. They went to each other’s parties where they engaged in all these sort of like homosexual endeavors and they had pictures of each other. So what did Donald Trump learn from Roy Cohn? He learned how to blackmail other people, but most importantly, he learned how to avoid being blackmailed. Donald Trump is teetotaler. He does not drink. This is really weird because we’ve known him as a playboy ever since the 1980s and he’s always dating these beautiful women. He’s always throwing these lavish parties. He’s always hanging out with the most famous, the most wealthy. And he himself, even though he’s organizing his parties, does not touch alcohol or drugs. Why? because he learned from Roy Cohn, that’s how they get you. The worst thing that can happen to you is blackmail. So I guarantee you these emails that are coming out, there’s no dirt on this guy. If there was any dirt on Donald Trump, we would have seen it in 2016 or 2020 when the elite spent $6 billion to get rid of Donald Trump. So, I’m telling you right now, there’s absolutely no blackmail on Donald Trump. I’m also telling you that blackmail is just a way of life among the powerful.
TRUMP IS MILKING THE EPSTEIN FILES
Donald Trump has been melting down about this. So, I guess we can talk about why. The Trump administration promised to release these files and then broke that promise. Trump had many run-ins with the mainstream media about this. One of the biggest questions is whether he ever worked for an intelligence agency. The former labor secretary said that he did work for an intelligence agency. So could you resolve whether or not he did? And also, could you say why there was a minute missing from the jail house tape on the night of {Epstein’s “suicide”.} {Why did Trump say} are people still talking about this guy, this creep? That is unbelievable. This has had a major impact on the MAGA base, which has been angered by this and Trump has lost many prominent figures including Candace Owens. If there is no dirt on Trump, why would he hide it then?
It’s really interesting that Trump doesn’t want to talk about Epstein. In fact, he’s done a lot to suppress the Epstein files. So why would he do that? The reality is that Elon Musk had a falling out with Donald Trump. Then uh you have Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson turning against Trump. Now you look at Congress, these Epstein files are being released because four Republican members of Congress have sided with the Democrats in voting for their release. Okay, these four Republicans are Thomas Massie, Nancy Mace, and Marjorie Taylor Green, and Lauren Boebert. In fact, what we know is that Pam Bondi had a very long meeting with Lauren Boebert trying to tell her, “Don’t vote for the release of these files. The president will be very angry at you.” This is really weird. The people that we expect to most support Donald Trump in the second term have now turned against him. This makes no sense because what did Donald Trump do to piss these people off. And like I keep saying, there’s absolutely no blackmail on this guy. He has been breaking a law his entire life and getting away with it. So he knows how to skirt the law. He knows how to not get in trouble with the law. And he knows how to be careful of someone like Jeffrey Epstein who cannot keep his mouth shut. I don’t think there’s any dirt on this guy. I’d be very surprised if the Epstein files implicate Trump in any manner. I understand, yes, Trump is named a lot in his files and I understand that Trump likes to be seen with underage girls. I mean he was in charge of these Miss Teen USA pageants. So there’s nothing really surprising about these Epstein files. So the question is why is this happening? And I have a theory. And this theory could be completely idiotic. But I propose that it’s all a show, a Trump show, an illusion. Okay. These Epstein files do not implicate Trump, but he wants to create a spectacle around the Epstein Files. You know he was part of the World Wrestling Federation for a long time. He had his own TV show, The Apprentice, for a long time. So he understands TV show plotting. He understands how to maximize an audience’s emotional reaction to a certain event. What he’s doing is creating tension. He could release the tension the Epson files, like many months ago, and we would go over the Epstein files and we’d be, like what is this crap? This tells us nothing that we don’t already know. We know Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Larry Summers, Jamie Diamond were all part of the Epstein circle and they all visited Epstein. So how do you create a visceral hatred for the Democrats and for the elite? What you do is you create as much tension as possible by making this Epstein files as seemingly secretive as possible. But not only that, but you create a situation in which the people are begging for the Epstein files so that, when new information comes out, they become more and more agitated, violent. That’s what we’re seeing today. What’s happening is that, while the House Oversight Committee, the Democrats, are releasing more and more files with Trump being implicated, Trump has announced that they will launch an investigation of Bill Clinton and his ties with Epstein. Before this people would be like, “This is partisan. Trump is clearly going after Democrats.” But now people are like, “Well, this makes sense because we want more information released about Epstein. Release all the files.” So this is all theater., an illusion. Trump is not implicated in the files, but Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Larry Summers, Jimmy Diamond, the the main leaders of the Democratic party are. It’s possible that eventually John Podesta will be implicated as well. We’re seeing Trump slowly use lawfare to go after his Democratic enemies. Honestly, it’s entirely possible that one day Trump will use lawfare against Obama as well.
TRUMP MAY RUN IN 2028
I think a lot of people are seeing a smoking gun on a lot of these emails given that Jeffrey Epstein was hanging out with him during his presidency, was in the Trump Tower. So many things have been revealed about their relationship. The problem for Donald Trump is that it actually is hurting him quite badly in terms of his own base, because he didn’t fulfill this pro promise to release the files.
Look, it’s all tension and release. It’s all theater, because you look at World Wrestling Federation, people love those who they hate and people love a redemption story. Some supporters are talking trash about him. But so what? What does it matter? What matters is in 2028 that election is what matters, because Trump has the intention of running for a third term. That’s the key. Also, what’s the key is that we can expect more political violence in America over the next few years. Political consensus has broken down. There’s this major infighting among the elite that these Epstein files are revealing to us. So Trump needs a street army on his side. He’s messaging to the MAGA that the real enemy is the elite, saying “the elite has me cornered. I’m being held hostage, save me.” Watch a football game or a basketball game. These athletes are superstars. They’re able to do things that are unimaginable to us. These politicians, Donald Trump, MTG, Thomas Massie, they have a sixth sense of political winds, of how the mood in America is developing and how to best manipulate it. They’re able to ride that wave.
ZIONISM USED BY ELITES
What isn’t being talked about when it comes to these emails is the role of Israel in relation to Jeffrey Epstein.
I’m going to give everyone a controversial take. The Jewish identity, the Jewish people is a creation of {the British?} empire. It’s a construct of empire. The term Jews came from the Persian Empire. And I would argue that Israel is a construct of the Persian Empire. The Bible says that the Jews come from Abraham who lived like 4,000 years ago. But if you just look at the real history, Israel was a creation of the Persian Empire. Why? Well, if you look at a map at that time in history, the Middle East was the wealthiest part of the world. And the center of this world was the Levant. Whoever controlled the Levant controlled the world. So Cyrus the Great had just conquered Babylon and he discovered that there were these captives from the former state of Judah. These were the proto-jews and the policy for the Persians was divide and rule, i.e. to create as much instability in a border area as possible so as to maintain control. If the region is unstable, the empire has reason to exert control. But also much more importantly, you prevent another power from arising within your borderlands. So at this time in history, about the year 500 BC, Judah and Samaria were pretty peaceful places. There were Jews, Israelites, who had converted into the local polytheistic religion. Most people in that area then were polytheistic and people got along really well. They intermarried together. And then along comes this guy Ezra, the governor sent by Persia in in order to recreate the Jewish identity. He immediately proclaims that if you’re a Jewish man and you want to still be Jewish, you must divorce your wife, if you marry into a different religion. And this creates a lot of conflict, instability. Ezra is the one who gave us the modern Bible, because he needed to construct this identity. Why is this important? Because this is the same trick or strategy that the British will use when they become an empire in the 1700s and 1800s. Then Jerusalem, the Levant, was being controlled by the Ottoman Empire, a great geopolitical rival to the British. So how do you destabilize the Ottoman Empire? You promote Zionism, the idea that this land is the promised land that God promised to Abraham and therefore the Jews have a right to it. At first this idea wasn’t very popular, but then starting about 100 years ago with the publication of the book “Fatherland” in German, calling for the creation of a Zionist state, then it started to gain more and more traction. Israel is a construct of empire in order to destabilize the region and Israel has been doing a great job of that. Before the arrival of Israel, the Zionist project, Jews in the Middle East got along really well with Muslims. In fact, throughout history, it’s the Christians that were mainly to blame for the persecution of Jews. The Muslims have always been protective of Jews. So in 1492 when the Spaniards expelled the Jews {after expelling Muslim rulers}, it was the Ottoman Empire that took them in. The Jews climbed to positions of power and authority within the Islamic caliphate. They’ve always been well respected. Going back to the 1950s and the 1940s, the Jews were welcome in Baghdad and Tehran. They were welcome throughout the Middle East. But the Zionist project was being fueled by anti-semitism and they needed manpower. So these Zionists were conducting terrorist attacks in Baghdad. The Jews no longer felt safe in Baghdad, so they started to emigrate to Israel {Palestine}. Israel is the pitbull of empire in order to destabilize the Middle East. That’s what Israel is today. America is {or was, along with the British} using Israel in order to destabilize the Middle East.
ZIONISM ENDING IN THE U.S.
Jeffrey Epstein has long been considered an Israeli intelligence asset of some kind. I’m curious where that factors into all of this given his extensive involvement with some of the most powerful people dictating US foreign policy, using channels like Israeli intelligence.
Look, Jeffrey Epstein was definitely a Mossad operative, but he was definitely a CIA operative, and he could have been an operative for the Russians and the British. The way these spies work is they’re all double agents, triple agents. That’s why they’re so effective. But did he have loyalty to Israel? Maybe, maybe not. Was he good friends with Israel? Absolutely. But people like Jeffrey Epstein, they’re all psychopaths. They’re first and foremost loyal to themselves. And they use their power and their connections in order to amass more and more personal power to themselves. The reality is that America is turning against Israel and there’s no stopping this. I think one thing that we’ll see over the next few years is just a surge in anti-Zionism in America. And this Jeffrey Epstein case will be a catalyst for that. And the American people are absolutely right that their foreign policy should not be held hostage or dictated by any foreign nation. It makes absolutely no sense that AIPAC is not registered as a foreign agent in America. So I think one thing Donald Trump will do is ask for AIPAC to be registered as a foreign agent. And this will create a firestorm in American politics that we’ve never seen before.
TRUMP TROLLED ZIONISM & DEEP STATE
You call the US or America anti-civilization. Is this anti-civilization going up in smoke?
The American empire is definitely in decline. So let me respond to this Trump-Netanyahu relationship. What happened was that after the Gaza ceasefire, Trump flew to Israel and gave a speech in the Knesset and he singled out two individuals. The first was Benjamin Netanyahu and the second was Miriam Adelsen. And what he said was, hey guys, we should give Benjamin Netanyahu a pardon, and then Trump got a standing ovation. You look at Netanyahu’s face at that moment, he was mortified, because what Trump was implying was that Netanyahu is starting all these wars in order to not go to prison. So Trump made a point of embarrassing Netanyahu in front of the entire Israeli people. Then he also singled out Miriam Adelson. He told a story of how he once had a conversation with her and he asked her, do you love America or do you love Israel more? And Miriam would not answer. And Trump said to the Knesset, again in front of the entire nation, in front of these live cameras, well this tells us that Mariam loves Israel more. So he was basically saying that Miriam Adelson was a traitor to America. This is not complimentary. Trump was basically trolling his biggest supporter, Miriam Adelson as well as Netanyahu. So if you are just watching what’s happening, you don’t think that Netanyahu and Trump are friends. In fact you think that they absolutely hate each other. What is really going on, I think, is that you have a decline of empire. When an empire declines, what often happens is the elites attack each other. Peter Turchin has a theory called elite over-production and this is what explains the decline of empires. You have too many people who want these too few positions of elite status, in which they can extract rent from everyone else. Another way of saying this is that everything that Trump is doing is ultimately to target the Deep State to reveal who they are, what they want, and how they work, so that the American people can rise up and overthrow the Deep State. If we understood in this way that Israel is a pet project of the existing Deep State and Trump wants to overthrow the Deep State. So he wants to create problems for Israel. That can help us understand a lot of what’s going on, because remember, the people who are most attacking Israel in the media, Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, they used to be adamant Trump supporters. So why did they have a falling out? Also remember that Candace Owens is blowing up on the internet, because of Charlie Kirk. What she’s saying, implying, is that Israel was responsible for the Charlie Kirk assassination, because Charlie Kirk didn’t want Trump to bomb Iran. So a lot of sentiment is turning against Israel. Also remember that Larry Ellison just bought Tik Tok, which was for the longest time one of those weird platforms in which you can criticize the genocide in Gaza. His son bought CBS Viacom and installed Barri Weiss, a very well-known Zionist editor-in-chief of CBS News. So this does not seem like Israel is getting power in America. It seems more like desperation. It seems more like they’re being revealed and attacked and they feel as though they have no choice but to defend themselves. It’s almost like a fight or flight mentality. We are seeing, I think, the end of Zionism in America. I really think that in these next two to three years there’ll be concerted attack against Zionism in America, which implicates the Deep State. Because the Deep State is first and foremost a Zionist organization. They are almost intermarried with each other. So if you attack Zionism, you’re also attacking the Deep State as well.
CANDACE OWENS ON THE PULSE
Are people like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson disingenuous about breaking from Trump?
Emails tell us that journalists are political operatives. So if you look at Michael Wolf, or Thomas Landon of New York Times, they were basically acting like political strategists for Epstein. For someone like Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, or Nick Fantes to reach the level of fame and power that they have in America, they need to be able to read the political winds properly. I’m not saying that Donald Trump and Candace Owens talk on the phone and discuss strategy. They don’t do that. But Candace Owens has a read on Donald Trump, on his intentions. She reads the political winds in America. She knows where the MAGA base is going. And she positions herself to speak the truth in a way that is also political advantage to her. And that’s why they’re so successful, because they have a sixth sense of where political winds are shifting and how to best position themselves that allows the wind to carry them to success.
TUCKER CARLSON & DEEP STATE
Tucker Carlson’s has a history of being close to, if not an operative of, the CIA, especially during the years of the US dirty war in Nicaragua. That history is never really spoken of. So while it’s understandable that these figures can play a positive role for especially opposing things like Ukraine, Iran war, Gaza. It wouldn’t be a surprise if all that was was political winds, because they jumped on it when things were going south and that sentiment was already there, even if they’ve built upon it. Look to Carson, his father was a CIA operative and he’s trying to keep it secret. I think in an interview he once said he really doesn’t know what his father does. How do you not know what your father does? Tucker was for the longest time trying to pretend that his father was a journalist.
So his father was a CIA operative, but also much more importantly, he was very high up in the CIA. He was part of a major CIA faction and he grew up in that sort of environment. Even today he’s probably very close with the CIA and as you mentioned, in his in his 20s he once went to Nicaragua and he had this picture of a gun standing with CIA officers and he was very proud of that. When he interviewed
Putin, Putin said to him, hey, I know that you once applied to the CIA and they rejected you. They don’t reject a son of a CIA operative. What they probably said to Tucker is like, you’re probably more useful to us if you worked as a journalist. He’s sort of Operation Mockingbird, a project to embed journalists into the media to better control them. So someone like Bob Woodward of Watergate fame. He is clearly clearly a CIA asset. If you just read his books, if you look at his role in Watergate, this guy who’s like in his mid 20s, a graduate from Yale, joined the Navy, was a naval intelligence officer, he quit that and he joins the Washington Post metro section. Guess what his first assignment is? It’s Watergate. Who the hell does that? Who the hell gets assigned Watergate as his first assignment? No reporting experience, no connections whatsoever. This guy gets Watergate. So the media is all Operation Mockingbird. That’s a reality that we need to definitely fess up to.
WHY CELEBRATE AMERICAN DECLINE
Professor Jiang, please summarize how your research can help us explain this particular moment, not only with Epstein, but also this kind of crumbling of the Trump administration and of course this larger problem of the US’ declining power.
The reality is that America is an empire and never in human history has an empire done any good in this world. {I think it became an empire after WW2, and especially after JFK’s assassination.} Historically, what are the three major sources of wealth? They are 1. slavery, which includes human trafficking, prostitution; 2. debt which includes gambling and finance; 3. the last thing is drugs smuggling, like the opium wars in which basically Britain turned China into a slave state. That apparatus never went away. You need a very sophisticated apparatus to run that sort of operation, where you enslave an entire nation using opium. That apparatus became the financial centers of the world: Hong Kong, Paris, New York, London. So that’s what finance is based on, money laundering for drugs. And that’s what an empire is. It exercises power and creates wealth through these three major mechanisms. It’s a nexus of organized crime, secret societies, intelligence agencies, the most evil powerful people in the world. So now that the American empire is declining, we should be celebrating. Because hopefully there’ll be less evil in the world, because of the decline of empire. At the same time, what we do know is that, when empire declines, it never goes peacefully. It clings to power in a way that could cause the entire world to be destroyed. That’s why we’re seeing these wars all around the world. You’ve covered Iran in particular, that war that nearly blew up into a world war.
VENSZUELA IS A RUSE
Some say the World War III is ongoing, but I want your comments on the major U.S. escalations relating to Venezuela right now, claiming to seek to remove terrorists from our hemisphere and secure our homeland from drugs killing our people, claiming the western hemisphere is America’s neighborhood and we will protect it, like the Monroe Doctrine. We have major US destroyers off the coast of Venezuela. 20 boats have been struck, killing dozens. Governments like Colombia are saying that those who survived were legally tried and they weren’t terrorists or narco-terrorists. They were poor laborers. Please talk about this coming war.
The Trump administration says that they’re doing this to stop the flow of drugs into America. But most of the drugs are coming from Mexico and Canada, not from Venezuela. But let’s just assume that what Trump says has validity, that in fact they are targeting drugs. Why would they do that? Maybe this is part of the elite civil war going on in America right now between the nationalists and the globalists. I just said that an empire engages in drug smuggling as a way to generate wealth for its elite members. And drug smuggling is a very important component of the global financial economy, because the city of London, Wall Street, Hong Kong, Dubai, are all designed really to launder money. So when you stop drug flow, that creates a lot of problems for the elite. If this theory makes any sense, then I don’t think the United States will actually attack Venezuela. The point of this huge naval presence is, first, actually to disrupt drug smuggling. Second, I think Trump may turn his attention to the Mexican cartels, because that’s where the real money is, these Mexican drug cartels that are really controlled by the CIA and the global Deep State and the financial elite of the world. I cannot imagine the United States launching a ground invasion of Venezuela. It would make absolutely no sense. I could foresee, though, operations against Mexican cartels. I’m just speculating.
DEEP STATE IN U.S. FOREIGN POLICY
The Trump administration said they’re pondering land strikes and other options, but they’ve been doing this for quite a long time, for many weeks, foreshadowing, foreshadowing. Could it be another attempt to knock off another chess piece in this growing multi-polar world, because of Venezuela’s relationship to Russia, China and Iran, which is pretty strong? Even Venezuela’s president Nicholas Maduro has been talking a lot about this.
I don’t think American foreign policy elite think that far ahead. I think the problem with Washington DC right now is that it’s become very bureaucratic and very corrupt. So it’s always like short-term interest. In other words, let’s not think about how the United States benefits. Let’s ask ourselves how a certain faction of American policy elite benefits from an attack against Venezuela. Now, we know that if America were to attack Iran, this would benefit a lot of political factions within the US Deep State. You have the Zionists. You have the financial elite who want to better control trade in the Middle East. You have these oil interests and the military-industrial complex. I don’t know which faction of the American foreign policy elite would actually benefit from a war in Venezuela. I think it’s driven more by conflict within Washington DC, as opposed to geopolitical calculations against Russia, Iran and China.
TRUMP SECRETLY SEEKS TO END U.S. EMPIRE
Listen, if we assume that Donald Trump is interested in igniting a civil war in America for accelerating the collapse of the American empire, then that helps us explain exactly why he’s doing what he’s doing, When you send off this massive naval force and threaten the people of Venezuela, what they will do is rally behind their leader and this leader will become almost invincible. Not only that, but many Latin American countries will rally and support Venezuela as well. You’re almost like uniting all of Latin America against the US Empire. During the Canadian elections Mark Carney was the liberal candidate and Donald Trump said, hey, we should make Canada our 51st state. He was joking about annexing Canada and Mark Carney who was leader of the Liberal Party, which has been in power in Canada for like 10 years and they were extremely disliked, Canadians just hate the Liberal Party, but because Trump was saying let’s annex Canada, Carney surged in the polls and he’s still in power and the Liberal Party is still in power. So either Donald Trump is the dumbest guy in the world or he’s the smartest guy in the world. Either he’s completely incompetent or he’s playing like five-dimensional chess. So if you just assume that Trump wanted to instigate a civil war to accelerate the collapse of the American empire, then what he’s doing around the world makes perfect sense.
NATO IS CURRENTLY THE MAIN THREAT
Where are we in this World War III nexus so to speak?
I would say the major flash point in the world right now is Ukraine. The Ukraine front lines have collapsed. Russia has had multiple breakthroughs this past week. In effect Ukraine has lost the war and there’s really no way for Ukraine to come back. They lost anywhere between one to two million fighting age men in this war. Millions of Ukrainians have fled the country and they will never come back. The Ukrainian government is plagued with corruption. Someone who was very close to Zelinski has fled Ukraine for Israel. He was notorious for being corrupt. You’ve got these dozens of high-level military officers in Ukraine that have benefited tremendously from corruption. The problem is that, if Ukraine is lost, if NATO admits to losing this war, then there’s a threat that there’ll be a political earthquake throughout Europe, because NATO and Europe have invested heavily in this war. They expected Ukraine to win this war and they would collect reparations from Russia. They froze $22 billion of Russian assets in European banks. So they cannot afford to lose the war. They cannot explain to their people how for the past four years in the media there’s this narrative that Ukraine is about to march all the way to Moscow and then suddenly, oops sorry, we were gaslighting you. We can expect this war to accelerate. We can expect NATO to send in more forces to shore up the defenses of Ukraine. Remember that NATO officers, NATO special forces, NATO weaponry are already in Ukraine, but we can expect that over the next few months these volunteers who were sent to Ukraine to fight with the Ukrainian army. I think what everyone should be watching is what happens in Ukraine for the next two months. The real concern is that NATO involves itself in a war and, if it does, that it cannot extricate itself from the war. It’s all or nothing. The western model of fighting a war is through debt financing. Look at the Napoleonic wars, where basically the Bank of England was financing all these European powers to fight France, that led to like seven wars. Why? Because even though Napoleon was defeating all his enemies, the Bank of England could not afford to admit defeat, because it would mean that the entire debt would be wiped out and the entire nation of England would be wiped out. It’s all a Ponzi scheme. Europe has invested heavily in this Ponzi scheme in this war in Ukraine. If it ever admits defeat, then the entire Ponzi scheme collapses and all of Europe collapses as well. So we can expect a massive escalation of the war in Ukraine over the next few months and next year.
UKRAINIANS MAY REVOLT
The United States is considering deporting Ukrainians and Ukraine is saying they’re going to use those Ukrainians at the front lines.
Look, the reality is that there’s a high possibility of a revolution in Ukraine, a coup d’e’tat, because the military feels betrayed by Zelinski, the Americans and the Europeans. If there were ever a peace, I guarantee you that elements of the Ukrainian military would stage political assassinations against people like Zelinski. It’s surprising it hasn’t happened already.
Lots of speculation. Navigating and changing the direction of US policy for the better when there are so many land mines hidden along the way, you don't really know who is the doer and doee!
