No one quite knows why the shooter did what he did, but both sides of the political spectrum has too turned this murder into a discussion about political violence. The Right Wing media wanting what they consider to be long overdue Civil War and purge of “Lefties”, “Commies”, “feminists”, “migrants”, etc., or, the Left Wing, which seems to be on a type of pre-emptive and defensive campaign to shed light on the possibility that the shooter wasn’t a Leftist, despite possibly being involved with the LGTBQ community, since sexuality and politics aren’t mutually exclusive (I mean look at a gay man such as Peter Thiel, Dave Rubin, etc.).
But still, no one knows why he did it but we have preemptively concluded it is about partisan politics.
Yet, the shooter has reasons we do not quite know yet, and in the mystery, we are all guilty of trying to input or spin the situation; however, there is nothing wrong with thinking this through. It is just that we have to be humble to the fact that we don’t know everything. Randomness does exist and if though randomness goes against our human need to control, the universe at times simply doesn’t care. Nihilists, anarchists, etc. do exist, and we have to factor this in, and the plausibility that this event was a random act of opportunistic violence and infamy seeking.
Even, Andrew Callahan with Channel 5 “station”, or “video-cast” – who I support and respect – has already done a segment exploring this ideas that it is about political differences between the Left and Right, but…we don’t know why the shooter did what he did. However in Andrew’s segment, titled: “The Last Person to Debate Charlie Kirk (Exclusive Interview)“, he does touch upon an important idea that younger generations seem disassociated to violence, which sounds a bit paternalistic considering people said the same about Millennials or Gen X, however, I do think and feel that Zoomers specifically are the most entrench generation of what we can consider (and, I hate to say this word) of “postmodern” irony. But, it is not even a postmodern irony which allegedly afflicted Gen X and elder Millennials at play, but more so an even more advanced, entrenched, realized, and recycled version of ideology that even surpasses the “postmodernist condition”. A post-post or “meta-modernist” type of behavior which seems to instill a sense of hope or sincerity through action (aspiring for the objective truths or grand narratives that postmodernist rejected), while still playing and flirting with postmodern tropes such as irony, being snarky, detachment, punk anarchism, and weaving a playful quilt of high-and-low pop cultural references and anachronisms.
But, what even what I just said is too intellectual likely for the shooter, and all I meant to do there was paint a picture of the sociological conditions in which he operates. He was operating in the digital landscape of gaming, chatrooms, memes, shock videos, etc., which gives a person a sense of connection without actual physical connection, and allows people to operate under anonymity, thus potentially giving a person a false sense of grandeur as opposed to the likely mundane nature of their actual non-digital existence.
This could be a matter of intra-conservative violence, rather than bipartisan violence. Similar to how the Nazis of Hitler beefed with the Strasserism. There is a big policy divide of Zoomer Conservatives (who have been influenced by online movements such as the Catholic Dues Vult movement; Groypers; 8chan; figures such as Lilly Gaddis or Nick Fuentes, etc.) who have turned on Israel and those who are Zionists.
A lot of older people, parents, etc., don’t know what is going on online, and I think there is a kneejerk reaction to blame change on progressive explicitly, i.e., like how parents in the 60s called anything different as being “dirty hippies”. Yet, many conservative parents, who see their children as “God fearing darlings” are a lot more technology adept than what their parents know. Their parents who go these large Evangelical Churches don’t understand memes, racist troll symbols, the irony, the lingo, etc. Tyler Robinson could thus be an example of conservative parents being out of touch, and when presented with the actions of their children, they fall into denial and simply blame outside forces, rather than understanding many of these online spaces are explicitly for conservatives, right wingers, fascists, etc.
I wrote this post a few days ago, but as of 9/15/24, I am adding in a video by Internet Today, which also talks about this online postmodern irony I spoke about above.
And, of course, you have liberal centrists (different from Leftist), i.e., the CNN, MSNBC crowed (not to be confused with the Jacobin crowd), doing their “can we all just get along” campaign, while they inadvertently creating more top-cover for conservatives, but establishing a false equivalence between the Left and Right, as if the Left has the history of violence in the USA as conservatism does, and the Left is generally more financially broke that the Right Wing. Since liberal (modernist liberals) and conservatives (classical liberals) are both guided by a capitalist framework of thinking, liberals simply want to “go back to business as usual”, with no real moral or humanist impetus, so they accidently become conciliatory towards conservatives, and their messaging in suite follows.
I can already see the “Charlie Kirk Foundation” or “Charlie Kirk Society” being created and used to bankroll tax write-offs for wealthy industrialists from the Great Lakes Region, or for their more ruthless, ambitious, and crypto investing grandkids. “Inspiring liberty and freedom from leftist Ideology” will be the motto. The board will be figures associated with Hillsdale College (a school implicated in trying to overturn the 2020 Election), Patrick Henry College, Liberty University, etc.
It will be just another 501(c) in the conservative ecosystem used to move money around. These controlling figures are the old money who controlled factories, farming, brewing, mining, chemical plants, etc. Families no one sees. They are not the endearing father figures such Brian Dennehy from 1995’s Tommy Boy, starring Chris Farley, who owned an auto parts factory. Rather, these seem to be the types of people who may say, “Hitler was bad, but he had some good ideas” at a party.
Such an organization would be a self-aggrandizing fawn-fest of self-awarded accolades, “Fellowships”, and other resume padding efforts to make those associated with it seem like “scholars” or “experts” worthy of Fox News airtime similar to cretins such as Christopher Rufo. It will be just another organization in the vast web of interconnected right-wing “think tanks” such as the Claremont Institute, Cato Institute, Discovery Institute, Hudson Institute, Gatestone Institute, Atlas Network, VDARE, Pacific Research Institute, Seale Freedom Trust, the Federalist Society, Manhattan Institute, etc.
Yet, such experts will be corporate stooges arguing for tax cuts on the rich and trying to convince the public that forever-chemicals don’t cause cancer.
There will likely be exchange programs for American students to visit Israel too.
The Right Wing is already trying to merge the death of Charlie with the unfortunate murder of Ukrainian refugee
Kirk, despite being a father, etc., was a loathsome person, who got paid to divide. Seriously, his portfolio is toxic. Rarely did he present positivity unless vanquishing liberals is the only happiness one gets. He did not bridge the divide but rather he widened it, hoping his ideology – one of exclusion – would win. Though not deserving of violence, his rhetoric could be considered as dehumanizing in nature, thus being violence in and of itself. Stochastic terrorism at its finest. Contrary to Trump’s claim that calling someone a Nazi led to Kirk’s death, I’d argue that Charlie’s toxicity came back around like a boomerang.
Now his wife, who seems like she would not have been with Charlie if Charlies were not famous and well-funded, is threatening an ambiguous group of people for his death. It seems she is supposed to be the mascot, a type of white, Trad Wife, Nashville Joan of Arc for the Civil War that many Christian Nationalists, white supremacists, anarchists, fascists, etc., wants but because the shooter doesn’t fit the intended demographic of their anger, she is only left with posturing towards an ambiguous “they”. Her speech almost seemed scripted, but I don’t want to shame a grieving wife, however, it seems odd she’d make such a scripted response just a few days after his death, where I would think most people would have been too traumatized to have spoken just yet.
Yet, keeping tabs on these conservative people I remember years ago Kirk beefing with Nick Fuentes and racist “America First”, “Alt Right” Groyper movement (look it up if you don’t know this term — but be forewarned that the surface level childishness is intended to conceal the abhorrent fascists that these Groypers are).
Kirk wanted to absorb and harness the Alt Right, i.e., be its establishment linked handler, but they felt Kirk was not racist enough (which is hilarious considering Kirk’s default was the “how can we blame black people?” crutch which most conservative pundits rest on).
Kirk was a Zionist whereas Fuentes is an antisemite and anti-Zionist (I consider those two different things).
Before I go on, it is important to note that both Kirk, and racist America First leader, Nick Fuentes, are both from Chicago. This seemingly random tidbit sheds light on the Midwest’s influence on Right Wing ideology. It is a city with a notoriously segregated past.
For example Nick Fuentes is essentially the modern day, online troll, version of mid 20th century racists such as Wllis Carto (of Indianapolis) and Francis Parker Yockey (of Chicago, IL).
Also, as alluded to previously, there is a group of shadowy Midwest Republican Megadonors who were behind Charlie Kirk. The Midwest has a charming place in America’s heart yet is home to the Rust Belt, was hit hard by decades long crime rates due to deindustrialization, and more recently was in the America’s mind because of the Kyle Rittenhouse shooting on Kenosha, Wisconsin and the George Floyd Protests in Minneapolis.
However, this shooter, if truly a Groyper, then he was likely a “troll, 8chan kid” who wanted chaos. 8chan is an unfiltered message board where anonymous users often share controversial material ranging from racist memes, videos about death, etc. Such youth-oriented political and 8chan types of violence is not unheard of, but the allure of 8chan for many is that if it gains attention for the infamous actions of some of its users, then outsider backlash often comes off as “lame”, “parental”, or being taken too seriously. It’s a way for detached or alienated to have a sense of “insider knowledge”.
8chan in a sense is simply a distillate of the cynicism, irony, parody, etc., of our modern times, where morality is really subjective and nihilism ironically makes people attached to a world, they feel alienated or exhausted by (and I say ironically because nihilism is supposed to be the absence of feeling). It’s a place for the blacked pill to trade in craft and fellowship. 8chan is a mirror of the perpetual Holden Caulfield (i.e., The Catcher in the Rye) malaise that seems to have robbed people of optimistic thinking.
According to a basic online search of a headline I remembered, in early 2025, in Waukesha, Wisconsin (where Wisconsin oddly appears a lot in my writing), teen Nikita Casap was charged with killing his parents as part of an extremist plot to fund a white supremacist political revolution. The FBI discovered evidence that the 17-year-old was influenced by neo-Nazism and intended to use his parents’ money to assassinate President Donald Trump.
This seems similar to the Kirk assassination to me. But conservatives can’t admit any possible white supremacist or adjacent type of motives, even if it were a fraction, because the modern conservative movement in the United States is a white supremacist movement, more so than it has ever been. Fox News sounds like something one might have heard in Apartheid South Africa, and the seeming parody of Fox News’ cruelty is really them testing what they can get away with. I heard on a Fox News segment the cast of a show talking about executing homeless people with lethal injections.
Yet, to understand Casap, we have to briefly touch upon the Occult, which is very broad and can make the person explaining it seem odd or looney.
I could go back as far as the Greco Roman world with figures such as Plotinus or Iamblichus, or to Renaissance era with Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola, or the Masonic and Illuminus Movement of the Enlightenment, or more recent modern figures such as Madam Blavatsky, but in simple terms, the Occult, notably “magic” or “magick”, seeks to will existence into reality and reach higher levels of consciousness through ritual. According to magic practitioner John Michael Greer, author of “The King in Orange: The Magical and Occult Roots of Political Power” (2021), he states on page 91, “Magic, as we’ve seen, is the art and science of causing changes in consciousness in accordance with will. If you are denied access to any other sources of power, you can still exercise power over your own consciousness.”
Greer’s thesis in his book sheds light on how a generation of “basement dwellers” who were alienated from society, for which they blame the failings of liberal market-capitalist democracies, started practicing “Chaos Magick” as a means of finding friends in fringe online spaces. Chaos Magick is the Postmodern version of older forms of Occultism where relativity, Discordianism, and subjectivity are keys in willing or manifesting one’s will into being. By postmodern I mean a philosophical worldview which rejects grand narratives and is skeptical of objective facts, and thus sees value in mixing high with low art, blurring lines of morality, distorting time and traditional narrative, and musing over living within the hyperreality which could be summarized as the constant propagation, replication, and recycling of consumer and pop culture within capitalist systems that have reached levels of domination in which every aspect of life is a commodified product. The postmodern condition thus could be defined as people living in advanced capitalist societies which have reached such a level of systemic domination over people, that there is no escape for a system based on an idea that people made up. For example, the irony of having third world poverty in the most wealthy nations, as if this were naturally occuring, rather than the byproduct of a man made system and game that we could alleviate ourselves from, but choose not to simply because we are addicted to the system we created.
Many youth mass shooters are…the afterbirth of the postmodern condition, and they know it, so they are predisposed to reactionary politics, often but not always with a traditionalist or Orthodox bent. This is why so many young people or Zoomers seem to be more open to anti-democratic versions of political organization. It seems in part a mix of their rage against their real-world materialist conditions as isolated youths in a world that seems to be getting worse day-by-day, yet it also seems part of wanting to create a fantasy world where individuals have agency again, no different than characters people play in complex world-building “dreamscapes” in video games.
Chaos Magic, Postmodern Magick, what have you, is simply making up whatever you want with the intention that you are performing a magic working to change behaviors and will existence. If we were to apply a sterile military application or lingo to what I just said, the Chaos Magic and Postmodern Magick are simply… psychological warfare without any qualms of bending morality. In grunt military terms it is essentially… f-cking with people. This thus makes it alluring to snarky and edgy teens and young adults.
By the way, I recommend Greer’s book, notably pages 86 through 107 as a better summary as what I stated above
Greer was saying that alienated young people are playing with “magic” as a means of wanting political change, however I am adding on that certain groups want actual results and use violence as a means of ritual to stir chaos, hopefully to bring on collapse or totalitarianism (i.e. Ceasar, Trump).
For example, Casap was a member or associate of Order of Nine Angles, an online mostly Satanic Neo Nazi cult of lone wolf operators, who do violence including murder, sexual assaults, pedophilia, etc., because they see it as a kind of Alistair Crowley, Hermetic, Occultic path towards Enlightenment and reaching higher “Aeons”, i.e., stages of development, where their goal is a “galactic Aryan civilization”.
Members believe in “manifesting”, so by doing evil acts they feel it opens up new pathways of personal success. It sounds very odd. Your grandmother would have zero clue on how to process this, but the Republican Party’s inability to vet the extreme fringes of Right-Wing ideology has given groups like O9A an almost playful albeit dangerous safe space to operate. Rather than calling out extreme white supremacy, which can only vote modern Republican in a two-party system, the GOP simply blames The Left, to the delight of Neo Nazi anarchist organizations.
Like Casap is Wisconsin, in another case a US Army member was given a 45 year prison sentence for trying to a terror attack on his unit as part of an O9A ritual. According to ABC New, Aaron Katersky (2023), stated, “Ethan Melzer, the former Army private described as “the enemy within” because he plotted with a Satanic neo-Nazi group known as O9A to kill fellow soldiers, was sentenced Friday to 45 years in prison. Melzer, 24, pleaded guilty last June to three counts: aiding and abetting the attempt to murder U.S. service members, providing material support and resources to terrorists, and illegally transmitting national defense information. The charges accused him of attempting to plan a jihadist attack on his Army unit in the days leading up to a deployment to Turkey, by sending sensitive details to other members of the U.K.-based Order of the Nine Angles, known as O9A. The attack never came to fruition.” (https://abcnews.go.com/US/us-soldier-ethan-melzer-enemy-sentenced-jihadist-plot/story?id=97616439).
So, we have two cases of O9A members, so it could be possible that Tyler Robinson was influenced by such a group. But this is only a lead I am suggesting.
It goes further, according to a piece by the BBC with Daniel De Simone revealed the larger scale of O9A activity. In the segment, Daniel Hussein was a member of O9A who promised to sacrificed women for power and money, and he was just one of at least 7 men arrested for other O9A inspired violence. Hussein killed two women in a satantic ritual.
But when Tyler Robinson of Utah was arrested it made me think of some research, I did a while ago in which this BBC segment talked about a man, Matthew Lawrence from Utah, who was the cult leader who helped inspire Daniel Hussein. Lawrence convinced Hussein to believe in Lucifuge Rofocale, a supposed demonic entity that Matthew Lawrence told his followers to make a blood pact with.
The BBC segment featured analysis from Professor Matthew Feldman of the Centre for Analysis of The Radical Right who spoke about Left Hand Satanism which he explained as a Darwinist, violent form of Satanism.
So, if my theory is correct, Tyler Robinson could have been a “chronically online person” who was exposed to groups such as O9A, notably because Robinson is from Utah similar to O9A affiliated cult leader Matthew Lawrence. Robinson could have done the shooting to “will existence” such as start general chaos, anarchy, etc. Lawrence was affiliated with the Temple of Blood, which is related to the O9A, and O9A has influenced Nazi groups such as the Attomwaffen Division.
Adding to this Occult angle, is that people are trying to pin Tyler’s act on links to transgenderism or Furries. However, sexual orientation or assignment doesn’t automatically indicate political leanings, e.g., you can have gay Nazis, where in the case of male homosexuality may find arousal in the Right Wing’s emphasis on hypermasculinity, domination, etc. The Christian Nationalist movement would love to pin this on the LGBTQ community, black community, immigrants, Jews, etc., as the impetus for their Holy Civil War. Many see Transgenderism as Satanic and there is a basic thesis, I call it the “Jay Dyer Thesis” which has gain prominence in Right Wing conspiracy theory circles, states that transgenderism is effectively alchemy, in which humans are playing God by distorting the natural order of things. This thesis pushes that the modern world, with ideas such as Darwin’s theory of evolution, Transgenderism, etc., are effectively modern occult practices linked to demonic entities.
Tyler’s roommate may have been a Furry or on the LGBTQ spectrum. However, there is a good video that explains a real case of a Nazi Furry conducting a mass shooting. Conservatives haven’t come to grips that people with conservative or even fascist leanings can be gay, trans, irreligious, etc. But I want to be careful as to not paint these groups as synonymous with each other or as being bad. Of course, being LGBTQ is not bad.
The Cost-Benefit of Kirk gone from the perspective of the shooter is as follows:
(A) Make a statement by taking out a prominent Zionist whom you see as an agent of the “Zionist Occupied Government” where “Z.O.G” is a term often associated with White Supremacist politics notably in the 1980s, due to the book “Turner Diaries”, but hate aside, the non-racist truth is that the Israeli lobby has deeply rooted influence in American politics in which more Americans are aware of. And, the brazen actions of Israel and the apparent desperation of Zionists to sway public opinion in their favor, is making more people suspicious of Zionist Jews, which increases retaliatory threats against Jews in general
(B) Hope that the vengeance of Trump will cause “accelerationism” (a term popular in “Black Pilled” – i.e., nihilistic, communities). They, such as extremist groups such as the Boogaloo Boys, Proud Boys, and more overtly Neo Nazi groups such as Attomwaffen and Order of Nine Angles (O9A), want societal collapse. Anarchist violence helps figures such as Trump (whether he is aware of it or not) towards pushing more authoritarian ideas. Both A & B are goals of people such as Nick “I’m Half Mexican” Fuentes.
Fuentes is exploiting the fact that US politics avoids calling out Israeli actions, thus Fuentes deceptively appears more authentic, “real”, forthcoming, etc. This “authenticity” seems genuine to younger people online. This new era of Israeli negative sentiment is exciting to many in that the establishment appears like a parent hiding the truths of how things work. And, they were hiding the truth.
The rise of political violence, relating to issues such as Zionism is “blowback”. It is the inevitable “Chickens coming home too roost”, as more people realize they’ve be living in one world, slaving, dying, and spending for it, whereas there’s larger agendas at foot.
A lot of people blame Israel for the Middle East situation, which has caused the USA to lose it’s de facto position as arbiter of democracy, but has also made millions of refugees, where many fleed to Europe and the West, during times of economic uncertainty such as durinh the Global Recession of 2008 to roughly 2014.
This could have all been avoided if the legacy media treated Israeli coverage fairly – both the goods and bads, but media in the US is corporate driven and many corporate leaders have Zionist sentiments.
For example, Zionist Jew, Larry Ellison, founder of Oracle, has a son, David Ellison, who is the new Chairman and CEO of Paramount Global following the Skydance Media merger that was completed on August 7, 2025. As the leader of the combined Paramount Skydance, David Ellison will oversee a vast entertainment empire that includes CBS, MTV, and Paramount Pictures.
Ellison has already given journalistic reigns to Barri Weiss, an ardent Zionist, to help flip negative coverage of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
But, there is a theory that Charlie Kirk was taken out because HE WAS judging Israel, and I HIGHLY skeptical this.
But to expand further, Charlie being dead makes him more valuable to the Right Wing Movement who will exploit his death.
This situation eminds me of John Birch of the John Birch Society if you know that history. John Birch was a Christian missionary during World War II, and given a commission during the days of US and Chinese “Flying Tiger” operations against Japan. His fluency in Chinese made him useful to American operations assisting China against Japan, but after the war, China erupted in Civil War between Chiang Kai-Shek’s Nationalists and Mao’s Communists. Birch was allegedly killed by Communist at a checkpoint for misunderstanding instructions.
The JBS was founded by rich industrialists, mostly in the Midwest, such as Harry Lynde Bradley (co-founder of Allen Bradley which is now Rockwell Automation) of Wisconsin. Fred Koch, who helped Nazi Germany refine oil, and whose sons Charles and David, became Republican Megadonors, and founded the CATO Institute, a libertarian think tank. Another man Revilo P. Oliver, a professor at University of Illinois, helped found the JBS too but left because he felt it too nice to Jews. He left to join the National Alliance, a hate group founded by William Luther Pierce, an ex Oregon State University professor, who wrote the racist Bible called “The Turner Diaries”, which as a book inspired Tim McVigh to do the Oklahoma City Bombing.
This split of Oliver from the JBS is similar to the Kirk versus Fuentes beef.
The Bradley Foundation gives money to the ultasecret Donor’s Trust who funds Libertarian and conservative causes, including… Turning Point USA of Charlie Kirk. The Bradley’s are inter-married to the Uihlein of Wisconsin. The Uihlein’s owned Uline Logistics, Schlitz Brewing, and General Binding Corporation.
To distill all of my information further, in simple terms, Charlie’s insurance policy expired and his value to the MAGA, the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025, etc., yields more benefits with him gone.
It sounds heartless but if this were something more coordinated from MAGA proper, i.e., a grand conspiracy, which seems unlikely, then it is a basic cost-benefit analysis.
(A) Trump can blame the Left with no proof (B) MAGA can drum up its call to purge people on the margins. Trump already pardoned January 6th Rioters, so what else will he pardon? (C) a new generation of people will be loyal to Kirk in memory as they will zee the Left as to blame.
(D) It distracts from all other Trump stuff like his round ups of migrants, his contract awards to Peter Thirl’s Palantir to create a mass surveillance “dragnet” program, but also troops in cities, keeping the media off Israel/Gaza, and no Epstein talk such as the fallout of the botched Ghislaine Maxwell interview, (F) boost before November elections especially with centrists where Republicans are already Gerrymandering in Texas. (G) Justify taking out Leftist in a tic-for-tat scenario
Kirk’s death increases the odds of violence on Left Wing figures, etc., such Mamdami, Hasan Pikeer, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, etc.
Overall, Kirk’s use ran out, especially with Zionists and Republicans furious with the rise of figures like Mamdani in NYC, indicating Kirk has failed a bit to sway public opinion. However, Kirk being killed by an Anti-zionist can help the Zionist lobby clamp down further on anti Israel movements.
So that side had gripes on his failing assignment. Yet, Groyper may have killed him because Kirk was Pro-Israel and his death would cause “the theory of accelerationism”.
It is a basic cost benefit analysis.
Kirk is better off to the Zionist – Right Wing – Trump movement, not being alive than alive, even if they weren’t involvement in a grand conspiracy.
Dave Smith is nonsense to me. I’m writing a longer piece on him and other comedians so treat this like an introduction briefing.
Dave Smith comes off as some anti-war, anti-Zionist intellectual and gets a lot of attention out talking everyone he debates but his underlying philosophy is conservative and I would argue regressive.
I’m not sure if he is a committed idealist with a penchant for stubbornness or a disingenuous person who uses libertarian ideals to sound autuer and above politics, but his politics have always been those of the status quo. Literally.
In this video, he commends Milton Friedman for having sound economics. Really?
“Milton – Greed is Good – Friedman” has sound economics?
The same Milton Friedman, who was heavily tied to the CIAs Neoliberalism, with figures such as the Chicago Boys from Chile, who designed Augusto Pinochet’s economy, while Augusto Pinochet and other Latin American leaders (often harboring Nazis like Klaus Barbie) were waging purges across the South American continent?
That’s your scion Dave?
Libertarians are liberals and liberals emphasizing private property, thus are capitalists, and capitalists always take over and hijack governments, and use government to insure their losses, steer investments their way, and use the military-intelligence apparatus to expand imperialism for market domination.
The “New World Order” has always been the full dominance of capitalism across the globe (despite controlled conspiracy theories alleging the NWO is leftist).
The NWO is a full spectrum agenda including the promulgation of Libertarian ideas thru billionare funded think-tanks (e.g., the CATO Institute, Heritage Foundation, Atlas Network, etc. — who have advanced away from paid intellectuals like Friedman and Sowell, towards podcasters and New Media).
Also, the NWO uses borderless multi-national corporations, regime change, etc. When the capitalist class pushes a society to its brink and near logical conclusions, with that being a land of deep wealth disparity, manufactured “buy the dip” booms-and-busts, de-industrial wastelands, and an economy more dependent upon asset investing (bloated stocks and real estate) rather than manufacturing (where the slivers of remaining manufacturing have been automated), then the elite class (who funds Libertarian movements) drifts towards fascism.
They do this because they know the system is reaching a conclusion but need a nationalistic, militaristic, & nostalgic regime to distract from the fact, so they can extract more wealth while the current version of this game is still around.
Libertarians are in feed back loop, and is equally as idealist as what they claim Communists to be. In other words, regardless of any facts countering to their ideas, they’ll still push forward with a worship of the idea regardless.
Dave Smith is not a revolutionary. And, I’m never going to listen to his comedy to know if he’s funny or not. But, if his political beliefs are anything like his comedy, I suppose I’ll be laughing at him and not with him.
Sure, he’ll go against the “boogeyman CIA” or take the high horse pacifist position – as if peace in natural anyways – but, his libertarian ideals will A) always lead towards a totalitarianism of capital over democracy and is (B) an ideology that comes from elites.
Murray Rothbard, Reagan Milton Friedman are the exact opposite of “anti establishment”.
If anything Libertarianism is just a veiled type of Straussian elitistism, and by that, I am talking about the Rockefeller Foundation funded thinker Leo Strauss of the New School and gee-go-figure, the University of Chicago, who not only hated modernity, but wanted a Plato based Republic, which of course is ruled by “Philosopher Kings”, which in reality ends up being Tech Bros, the old gentry class, billionaires, etc.
There’s no suprise that libertarian movements have often expressed themselves or have found solace in right-wing, often racist, traditionalist, and hierarchical movements, since patriarchy, racism, etc., are effective buffers for protecting the capitalist class.
I don’t trust Dave.
I’m not sure if he’s controlled opposition or just a clown.
His libertarianism is nothing more than Generation X MTV Republicanism in the vein of Kurt Loder or Fox New host, Kennedy. To no suprise at all he’s friends with Fox News figures such as Greg Gutfeld.
Resistance to MAGA seems futile considering how many billionaires, millionaires, disgruntled military and CIA alumni, religious fanatics, etc., it has on its side.
Below are some ad hoc schematics I like to do to track things
Notes by the author. Quinton Mitchell Notes by the author. Quinton Mitchell Notes by the author. Quinton Mitchell Notes by the author. Quinton Mitchell
I see MAGA as a phase of history that the United States needs to go through. It is the manifestation of paranoia as old as the John Birch Society, the Minute Men far-right social groups, the racism of people such as Willis Carto, etc. It is the amalgamation of things a lot of ideas, that people won’t be content with getting over until tried. That is the simplest and least wordy way to describe it. Only when we are forced to stare at the results of our actions will we learn. That is it. It seems that all societies decay into some form of fascism at some point unfortunately, notably as the nation, like an organism, becomes insecure about any possibility of waning power and prestige.
So, this will all bleed together and flow like a linear story.
Michael Flynn has been waging a psychological war against the American people, and no one seems to…care.
Flynn admitted to commanding an army of digital soldiers in an insurgency.
To get the point, Michael Flynn was a friend of the late General John K. Singlaub.
Singlaub was a veteran of the WWII having served in Operation Jedburgh, but later spent time observing the Chinese Civil War, managing the Secret War in Laos during the Vietnam War, helped provide guidance to the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan, and was later implicated during the Iran Contra Scandal for having smuggled weapons – then banned by the Boland Amendment -, allegedly through a place called John Hull’s Ranch in Costa Rica to the Right Wing Contras in Nicaragua (some allege they were nothing more than death squads).
I think it is fascinating that every region that Singlaub was hot in was also interestingly a hot spot for drug activity (opium in Afghanistan and the Golden Triangle of Southeast Asia) and of course cocaine production in Latin America.
The bank is said to have been involved in drug trafficking since it had offices in places near DEA overseas offices, and this money laundering was likely used to fund CIA clandestine operations across the globe including continental Africa which was seeing conflicts such as Rhodesia, Namibia, etc. The Nugan Bank Scandal mimics other notable shadow banks such as the BCCI Bank and the Banco de Ambrosiano Scandal which had links to the Vatican. This era in CIA history was strongly influenced by William Colby and then later William Casey. Other notable CIA figures of this time, who were connected to Nugan Hand by varying degrees of separation where figures such as Theodore Shackey (The Blond Ghost), Richard Secord, Thomas Clines, Edwin P. Wilson, Frank Turpil, etc. Many of these men such as Shackey were CIA veterans from the days of Bay of Pigs invasion disaster and the assassination of President JFK, and Shackey through his cadre of underlings had links to many Cuban anti-communist radicals, where many of these men had ties to cocaine trafficking in South Florida, mercenary work (some as far as in Congo), assassinations, etc.
As you can read there is a lineage or direct links tracing from figures such as Michael Flynn all the way to deep state figures of the early CIA, yet, the irony is that Flynn and conservatives as weaved this lie that the Deep State is “liberal”, “Democrat”, etc., when the Deep State has always been more Right Wing (pro-elitism, pro- capitalism, etc., but nuanced with a Judeao-Christian, Zionists Millennialism. It’s ardent stance on anti-communism is often a passive-aggressive way for maintaining white supremacy, since most of the traditional wealth in the USA is still owned by white elites. This is why the CIA, when fighting anti-communists forces, often works alongside the extreme Far-Right and by doing so, they create “blowback”, i.e., domestic terrorists, hate groups, rogue veterans, etc.)
William Colby is noted as being one of the creators of Stay Behind Units (along with figures such as Frank Wisner, James Jesus Angleton, etc.) in Europe to fight the Soviets in case of invasion but these Stay Behind Units were often fascists or right-wing organizations including Neo Nazis and European Identitarians. William Casey, who later died from a brain tumor before he was possibly indicted for his ties to Iran Contra, was the creator of the Manhattan Institute, which is a conservative think tank. This think-tank, still in existence today, has hosted figures such as Right-Wing billionaire and Elon Musk associate, Peter Thiel, who has obtained lucrative tracking software contracts from the Trump Administration, but also has hosted figures such as Christoper Rufo.
Hillsdale College is the mother-brain behind America’s charter school movement, offering curriculum such as the 1776 Project which is a rebuttal curriculum to the 1619 Project (a study course detailing America’s history of slavery, Native American conquests, etc.). Hillsdale College is not only the alma mater to ex-Blackwater mercenary group CEO, Erik Prince, but also hosts many notable conservative and Federalist Society connected individual such as Justice Clarence Thomas, who was later revealed to have received money from shadow donor Harlan Crow. Crow is a man known for collecting fascist memorabilia.
The school also has ties through its president Larry Arnn, a Plato fanatic and self-ascribed “West Coast Straussian”, i.e., after neoconservative progenitor, Leo Strauss. Arnn links to another conservative organization called the Claremont Institute.
The Claremont Institute is noted for having started the Obama Birther Conspiracy movement (alleging Obama is not an American citizen), and this organization attempted the same with Kamala Harris. Claremont was run by a man named Michael Pack who was later appointed by Trump to be the CEO of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which is the entity that overseas Voice of America (an organization that Tucker Carlson’s father in the nineteen-eighties ran). While at USAGM, Pack gutted the origination and filled it with Trump loyalists, going so far as having been sued by some of his employees for workplace treatment.
Pack later platformed a man named Guo Wengui, a shadowy Chinese exiled “billionaire”, who is a close associate of Steve Bannon who is an ex-Goldman Sachs manager, ex CEO of Brietbart in which Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire is a spin-off of, and a former US Navy officer. Bannon of course was Trump’s former campaign manager and is still a diehard supporter. Bannon is credited with having discovered the armies of angry online male gamers via a scam in which Bannon would pay Chinese sweatshop workers to mine in-game digital goods and then sell these goods for real-world money at high markups, often to underage people. Bannon did business with ex-Disney star, Brock Pierce and his accomplice Michael Collins Rector where Rector later fled the country for assaulting teenage boys. Bannon was introduced to Trump by David Bossie, the President of Citizens United, a conservative non-profit known for winning a federal court case that enables corporations to give funds directly to political candidates, thus erasing any real chance of campaign finance law reform in the United States.
Bannon, a real chaos agent, during the early Trump years, went on a European tour courting Far Right candidates such as France’s Marine Le Pen, Italy’s Giorgia Meloni, Hungary’s Victor Orban, and Germany’s Alterative for Germany (AFD) Party where the AFD has ties to the Kremlin. Bannon even went so far as to help buy an old Italian monastery to be a “gladiator school” for new generations of Right-Wing activists, though this acquisition was protested by many of the local townspeople.
It is also important to note that Bannon was on the board of Cambridge Analytica, now going by Emerdata or something similar, was the data collection firm who took customer data with Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook’s help, to launch targeted political campaigns. Cambridge Analytics also involved Robert and Rebekah Mercer, with the Mercer’s having earned their billions from the Renaissance hedge fund. The Mercer’s were the funders of Brietbart News where Bannon was CEO at. Further, a Hong Kong Billionaire named Johnson Ko was the board and Ko owned a Chinese security group known as Frontier Services Group (FSG) which employed Erik Prince. As you can see this is a closed loop.
But back to Guo Wengui, the Bannon associate and Michael Pack selected mouthpiece, he went on VOA to protests the Chinese government, but he was so unhinged that weary producers cut his segments, which later garnered the wrath of Pack. Pack was later let go by President Biden, yet, Guo was later indicated for having scammed his loyal followers out millions of dollars (some value the fraud as high as a billion).
Guo who courted people such as former UK Prime Minister, Tony Blair, was later discovered to have been recording people in his Manhattan penthouse, and when investigators went back to inquire further, the apartment mysteriously set ablaze from incendiary devices set up in the apartment. Guo was discovered to have fled China for a sexual assault allegation but also fraudulent real estate transactions with corrupt CCP officials. Having fled to the United States, Guo presented himself as a political refugee trying to topple the Communist Chinese but was likely a double-agent working for the Chinese (as a form of probation to ensure his funds weren’t frozen), but his anti-CCP groups were simply a way of spying on dissident anti-CCP voices amongst the Chinese expatriate community. Guo was later found guilty of fraud, similar to his friend Steve Bannon, who was also indicted for hosting private “Build the Wall” fundraisers in which he and others pocketed the money for personal use.
Before I end this tangent on China, it is also important to note that Erik Prince worked for a Chinese mercenary group called Frontier Services Group (FSG) who provided security services to the Chinese regarding their Belt and Road infrastructure project but also security details for their African mineral extraction programs. Prince, a real shadowy player, also met with a Russian banker via a UAE lobbyist, George Nader (later convicted of child sex crimes) while in the Seychelles, and Prince was outed as having broken UN Sanctions by providing military hardware to Libyan warlord General Haftar via Project Opus, where Haftar, a CIA asset, is one of many vying for control of the oil rich region (this meeting was arranged via Trump’s ambassador to Egypt).
Regardless, Michael Flynn in recent years has admitted to having a Digital Army which he admitted at a Young Americans for Freedom event. The Young Americans for Freedom event is a conservative youth organization now under the leadership of Scott Walker, former Governor of Wisconsin who made his fame by going after public employee unions in his state. YAF is notable for having purchased Reagan Ranch. Scott Walker was bankrolled by the secretive billionaire family, The Uihlein Family, and this family also donates to Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA. Kirk himself has said plenty of racist things throughout his career and seems to have strong ties to Arizona’s College Republicans, an organization which seems to have ties through individual members to the America First movement with figures such as white supremacist Nick Fuentes, and his Groypers (which I would assume through individual members have ties to groups such as Patriot Front).
The Uihlein Family are intermarried with the Bradley Family, and both have ties to the infamous John Birch Society, which is a right organization so unhinged they claimed that Republican President Eisenhower was a Communist, likely for his support for desegregation.
What Flynn was really saying is that he runs an army of trolls and bots who see politics as insurgent warfare.
Michael Flynn can be seen online with Singlaub at Phyllis Schlafly Eagles event celebrating his 100th birthday. Phyllis Schlafly Eagles is a conservative organization which according to their site are anti-feminists, anti-political correctness, and supports reduced immigration and fosters free market economics. It is important to note that Phyllis Schalfly was a female activists who opposed female rights. Think about that, you have career military and intelligence officers being celebrated at an organization that is vehemently opposed to modern female liberation. YouTube content creator named Intelexual Quickies has a great video titled, Are White Women Voting Against Their Interests? detailing Phyllis Schlafly. Separately as a side note, I find it interesting that the modern Trad Wife movement, which itself could be understood as a sub-set or proxy to Alt-Right politics, could be considered as being a psychological operation in and of itself, and it has roots in the anti-feminism of women such Schlafly. Yet, these ideas of old have been repackaged for a younger generation of Millennials and Zoomers, etc., who are being inspired to be nostalgic, notably as a reaction to the Social Justice theories they were taught in school, but also they are reacting to the lack of economic ease grew up in since 2008 (The Great Recession) until now. For example, many Zoomers were in elementary school during the tumultuous Recession and Social Activism years, largely defined by the Presidency of Barak Obama (and the ardent obstructionism of Republicans at this time to Obama), and despite the assumption that these younger people would be all become progressive, many in rebellious fashion are looking backwards rather than forwards to gain identity. The reactionary nature to be Far Right to me is a reality of an empire in decay and in which the citizens of said empire refuse or cannot accurately criticize the underlying presuppositions of what props up their realities, notably that of capitalism. For example, as home and other assets continue to rise as worker wages stall, and as the wealth of a few balloons to new heights, many people still put their faith and vicarious aspirations into figures such as Elon Musk. A man who is sinister due to the fact that he not only understands that the game is rigged and able to be exploited by the billionaires and tech elites, but he is so cynically aware that he understands people will simply believe whatever he says as long as he says the rights things, even if he doesn’t believe those things or if he is in fact behind the conspiracies he claims others are.
Yet, back to Michael Flynn and his “Digital Army” (which is very real).
Michael Flynn’s brother, Charles Flynn was involved in the January 6th insurrection scandal. Colonel Earl Matthews alleged the Charles Flynn and Lt. General Walter Piatt misled investigators in that the Flynn and Piatt seemed to delay requests for National Guard support. Lieutenant General Piatt, previously a candidate to run the US Army Futures Command (the command that deals in modernization efforts of the US Army) is likely very salty that he was denied his fourth star by President Biden. Piatt is now the CEO of the powerful Wounded Warrior Project organization, which has loyal followers amongst the veteran and POW/MIA community. So not only does Michael Flynn run a digital army of trolls, but a likely associate of Michael via this brother Charles Flynn, runs the WWP. The political left often loses the “war of aesthetics” regarding the military and veterans, largely due to the pacifistic notions such as cutting military spending, thus giving them a massive disadvantage in political discourse. Criticizing the military is often misconstrued with attack veterans, and conservatives us this as a means of controlling the narrative around the military, intelligence communities, etc. Sadly, the Left falls for this hook and sinker because the Left has no tangible realpolitik on military matters besides emphasizing peace – which is something that arguably doesn’t exist in nature- but, also emphasizes a self-reflective and self-critical gaze, which can be easily misconstrued as not being patriotic.
Alex Jones of course is friend to Joe Rogan, who as a podcaster platform a litany of personalities involved in steering the general public more right-wing such as Jordan Peterson (who pushed notions such as “Postmodern Marxism”, which is simply a reinvention of the older Pat Buchanan “Cultural Marxism”, and the even older Nazi term of “Cultural Bolshevism”), Sam Harris (who flirted with studies about Racial IQ and acting through his atheist persona would go onto to push Islamophobia), Stefan Molyneux (a man listed on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s hate list who too pushed racial IQ hierarchy studies), Gavin McInnes (founder of the Proud Boys), Graham Hitchcock (knowns for his alternative archeology beliefs notable in conspiracy theory, New Age, and Ancient Alien-like subcultures), etc.
Rogan, who I like to call a “Neoplatonist”, a former actor tied to the Disney corporation, is the cross-roads between the Alt-Right, UFC bloodsport, comedy, and conspiracy theory culture such as UFOlogy, the New Age movement (which included the Human Potential Movement, a movement famously lampooned in the film, The Men Who Stare at Goats, which was inspired by true event such as Project Stargate), Timothy Leary-like “psycho-naut”, i.e., psychedelic drug using subcultures as best typified by the Burning Man festival, MAPS, and The Esalen Institute, etc.
Rogan not only is able to platform and spread “red-pilled” ideas to the masses, but his ability to bleed into the comedy sphere grants him even more authority. Andrew Schulz, Tim Dillon, Tom Segura, etc., are all part of the “Rogan-verse”.
Rogan, whose politics could be best understood as classically liberal yet syncretic, i.e., splicing elements of libertarianism and some aspects of socialism (if you catch him on day he’s not fuming about the political Left). I have compared his views to that of science fiction author and US Naval officer, Robert Heinlein, author of Starship Troopers and Strangers in a Strange Land. Starship Troopers details a society ruled by a military government where voting is based on military service, yet, for those who wish not to serve, they live a libertarian and voluntarist existence. Strangers in a Strange Land is noted for having inspired both early hippies in areas such as Laurel Canyon and also libertarians, where libertarians through the Cold War became more so synonymous with Right Wing politics and think-tanks, e.g., the CATO Institute, the Atlas Society (a global libertarian foundation). Republicans such as Reagan, Nixon, etc., all called themselves libertarians at certain points, and both were influenced by thinkers such as Milton Friedman, where Friedman led the Chicago School of Economics, a school dedicated to neoliberalism, i.e., unfettered free markets. Friedman trained a cadre of Chilean economists under the fascist regime of Augusto Pinochet, where Pinochet was known for his kidnapping, torture, and disappearances of his opposition.
Tulsi Gabbard, a politician hailed by the Joe Rogan community because she seems to mix both hippy and militarist elements, such as those I spoke about above, is now Trump’s nominee for Director of National Intelligence. Tulsi herself is the epitome of this nexus between New Age culture and militarism as I alluded to relating to Heinlein. Her youth was largely controlled by the Hare Krishna sect, The Science of Identity Foundation, which is a group known for their anti-homosexual beliefs and also their anti-Muslim stances. She like Michael Flynn is involved in psychological warfare with her meritorious service with the U.S. Army Civil Affairs & Psychological Operations Command (Airborne).
Alex Jones has been hailed by Russian media for his anti-Hillary Clinton stance, and he has links to little known YouTube influencers such as Jay Dyer, author of Esoteric Hollywood. Dyer, a convert to Eastern Orthodoxy, has interviewed thinkers such as Aleksandr Dugin, who is Vladmir Putin’s ideological architect. Dugin wished to bring back Russian power to its heights in the Soviet Union but instead of Communism he shifted to fascism with an Imperialist Czarist aesthetic. Dugin believed that stirring up as much civil unrest in the USA by fostering racial conflict, ideological conflict, etc., so the USA will implode from within and European forces would leave NATO.
Russian operations have been effective at convincing many in the West that the Ukraine War is explicitly a “money laundering scheme” and that it is the United States’ fault that Russia invaded despite the fact that Russia has had a dictator for over twenty years and was already meddling in Ukrainian politics. For example, the United States borders Mexico in which some security studies organizations deem it a failed narco-state, but the US has not invaded Mexico. Even if NATO was on the door of Russia, Russia had already invaded Georgia and has shown themselves as having a foreign policy which seems to advance themselves at any chance at the expense of the United States.
Dyer often pushes anti-Western conspiracy theories, often disregarding any criticism of Russia, where is Orthodoxy is symbolic of. His conspiracies theories often involve concepts such as “predictive programming in film”, Federal Reserve conspiracy theories, and how science and materialist philosophies have erased God, spiritualism, etc., and therefore enabled an Occultic and Satanic takeover of modern societies. I don’t think Dyer however is a Russian asset, but I think by proxy he leads people down a path towards anti-Western thinking that can be usurped and twisted against the West for the benefit of foreign intelligence agencies.
His remedy is embracing Eastern Orthodoxy, yet the issue is that his feeds into the Kremlin backed information campaigns which seeks to make Russia look the Savior of “Christendom” and the West. Pro-Russia conspiracies have expertly infiltrated the Western and American conservative movements. Fox News hosts such as Tucker Carlson hailed Putin for his stance on LGBTQ issues and his anti-feminist perspectives for example. Yet, a big reason Western conservatives are supporting Russia is because of white anxiety in the both the United States regarding demographic changes, but also in Europe due to Middle Eastern Refugees. The irony about the Middle Eastern refugees is that Russia played a role in helping exacerbate the destabilization of the Middle East such as how Russia stepped in on behalf of President Bashir Assad. Russia used mercenaries in the region and also conducted aerial bombing missions. However, Russia helps send refugees into Central and North Europe often with the help of Russian underling Belarus.
Tucker Carlson currently seems to be undergoing a mental and/or spiritual crisis with his belief he was attacked by demons. Seriously. He said it.
Dyer even connects back to the comedy space, via online troll figures such as Sam Hyde, but Dyer also connects to Alt-Right figures such as Lauren Southern, where Southern also interviewed Russia’s Dugin, but she was also platformed on Rupert Murdoch owned Sky New, where Murdoch of course owns Fox News. Fox News of course has produced Trump cabinet position picks such as Pete Hegseth, Sean Duffy, and Sebastian Gorka, etc. Gorka of course was a liaison to Hungarian leader Viktor Orban, and Hungary and in many ways has been seen by the Western and American Alt-Right as a bastion of hope because of its anti-migrant stance and perceived social conservatism. Hegseth in true “crusader” fashion with Deus Vult and Jerusalem Cross tattoos (slogans and symbols appropriated by the fascists) has been accused of sexual assault.
[Ending Commentary by Author]
First off, I want to say I love my country, the United States of America, and I do not hate Republicans. I hate that they hate their opposition and how they are pretending that they haven’t always. I may not have been Rambo, but I raised my hand and gave a few years of my life to serve the country.
But I am tired, absolutely tired of the Right Wing thinking they own this country. I see their games about how they try to corner, encircle and engulf the very powerful aesthetics and mythology of the military for themselves, and they try to use this to take the high horse position to undermine progressive ideas as not being American enough or not American at all. Though I have many issues with the political left, such as their idealist stance on pacifism and their lack of a realpolitik when dealing with legitimate threats to the United States, I do embrace the inclusiveness of progressive politics and its empowerment of the working classes.
The truth is the Left Wing lost the psychological warfare fight.
The Left does not seem to have full-time armies of trolls online, nor the funding to afford complex bot technology, etc. The Right Wing expertly conducted a shadow war on the American public such as pushing erroneous and dangerous conspiracy theories such as Qanon. Even though the mainstream media seems to be on the Left because they have to be inclusive as a means of selling advertisements to the diverse masses for their revenues, the truth is mainstream media, as capitalist organizations, are not necessarily in alignment with what Leftists actually want, e.g., Medicare for All, universal education, criminal justice reforms, restrained military spending, etc.
Yet, the opposition in Republicans argues or insinuates that this corporate left-leaning liberalism is proof that the media (including social media) is actually controlled by Leftist.
There is a difference between liberal and leftist. Liberals are actually both Democrats and Republicans since they both trace roots to Enlightenment classical liberalism, which fosters private property, inalienable rights, separation of religion from state, pluralism, etc., whereas leftism, is more on the spectrum of Socialism, i.e., a collective view to property to some, or at least a redistribution of wealth within a liberal system for egalitarian means. For example, in the United Kingdom you have a Liberal Party similar to the American Democratic Party, yet they have the Labour Party, which is similar to the Democratic Socialist of America with figures such as Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. You can be a Left Wing liberal, a Social Democrat, a Democratic Socialist, a Communists (typically but not exclusively adhering to Marxist ideology. For instance, you have socio-anarchist who reject the state), etc. which are all different things.
Yet, the American public with a short attention span, and easily misled by fantastical and escapist conspiracies such UFOs and “animal-human hybrids” rather than focusing on factual conspiracies, have seemed to have already forgotten the real and apparent attacks on democracy that Republicans and their operatives conducted in this MAGA era.
Getting students at Evergreen State University or Oberlin College to develop a comprehensive defense policy relating to manpower, readiness, intelligence, psychological warfare, and nuclear weapons seems a bit of stretch, but with Trump having won for a second time, the Left needs to do some deep thinking about how it lost and why it will continue to lose. A big reason I believe the Left will continue to lose, is that the left has an ideological issue with the military, despite Leftist regimes throughout history having actual militaries.
The military by the Left is always framed as tool for colonialism for the behest of capitalism and spoken about with an explicitly self-critical tone. And even though it is apparent that this colonialist-capitalist animus is fact a reality of the current military, the Left, despite talking, does not have a plan for an alternative system. Peace is a concept often enforced by violence or fear thereof. They don’t have a concept of what I call Patriotic Progressivism. Even being proud to be an American is often left out of discussions. For example, I have said before that a start in this process is to frame the American Revolution – which is often usurped by conservatives – as being a worker revolution against a charter corporation rather than merely a revolution against taxes. 1776 was a war in which human trafficking victims (African slaves), non-unionized contractors (settlers), and Indigenous peoples rose up against a chartered corporation owed by foreign investors of a global empire.
But what is the end game here of Republicans?
It sounds like a mouth-full of intellectual jargon, but the clear agenda of the conservative movement seems apparent to me.
They seek to establish an anti-democratic Republic ruled by wealthy elites, technocrats, and industrialists, as a type of dreams-of-grandeur vision of ancient Plato’s Greece as understood in his treatise “The Republic”. This sort of “Neo-Greco-Roman”, i.e., fasci, i.e., fascist vision, is layered with Christian Evangelicalism, and they see the United States as a continuation of this Greco-Roman tradition as understood through the thinking of figures such as Leo Strauss, Edmund Burke, Ayn Rand, etc.
These Rand-Straussians as I call them wish for a nativist and isolationist world to protect the culture they have designed in their own image, yet see no issue in exploiting, colonizing, and extracting resources from abroad, indifferent to the destabilizing global impacts these may have, such as migration of the impoverished to their borders. Thus, their ideology is ultimately a Darwinist, zero-sum game of eternal struggle of power versus the powerless.
Underneath the veil of modern capitalism, marketing, commerce, and corporations there is an underlying animus akin to medieval and feudalist thinking. A reality of generational lords and knights (business owners, landlords, the officer classes, etc.) ruling over the renting serfs (the general public). Religiously committed to capitalism, they must ensure capitalism’s continual existence.
As technology reaches its logical conclusions, they are left with only investing in over-charging the people on assets such as housing, using forced obsolescence, and turning the entirety of life into a subscription-based model, etc. Many neighborhoods are now owned by corporations. Even automobiles may require people to pay to unleash special features in the cars they already paid for.
The same way how Kings and Popes of old used fear of “witchcraft” and the Occult to violently suppress progress and dissent, modern conservatives use conspiracy theories to engender irrational fear. Irrational fear of “Communism” as a means of ensuring that they can privatize government, cut their own taxes, and deregulate industries. Fear of racial, gender, and sexual orientation equality because they may pose a threat to the existing Western order that traditionally favored European American, straight, males, and maintaining this white heteronormative order, i.e., a type of caste system, the existing capitalist and colonial inspired order which is the foundation of the USA lives on.
I actually wrote most of this before the election, but I had got really busy in my personal life, but things have been good. Also, I would recommend watching videos by The Vanguard on YouTube about what is going on by Ana Kasparian.
She has also been ranting about criticism she has gotten on Twitter, though I suspect Ana…is being a little sly here. I will explain more later.
Maybe her current flare up against the Left will fade away as far as drama with Ana Kasparian being angry at Left Wing commentators and content creators such as the Serf Times (I believe), The Vanguard, etc. I do not have an X account, so keeping up with drama is hard to do, but better for my health.
Ana has been praised by Right Wing commentators who never give any kudos to liberals or the Left such American Justice Warrior, Tim Pool, etc., for her recent flare ups at the Left.
Maybe Ana is playing some sort of “four-dimensional chess” and by having a slight right leaning pivot she knows that any controversy will drive views, clicks, etc., which is vital in a competitive online media landscape. If she gets “cancelled” by the Left (which seems to be a comedian’s wet dream on another note), she will become a right-wing darling.
On a more moderate tangent, even if she courts Right Wing talking points, she is able to grow her own reputation, the audience of TYT, and possibly prep for her own separate audience in the event she goes full solo in the future. Ana blowing up at X (Twitter) comments seems to be her being an opportunist and needing pretext, a false flag, etc., to create top cover for her own and TYT’s business agendas.
Or, maybe Ana is being reactionary and living in her own echo chamber?
Ana is a human, so she is complicated whether she wants to openly admit it or not.
I would want Ana to reach out to other progressive contributors more so. I know she has a good working relationship with Emma Vigeland of the Majority Report with Sam Seder, but I think she should livestream with The Vanguard, The Serf Times, The Humanist Report, FD Signifier, etc. Showing your eagerness to learn is what I think what Ana is missing for herself personally and for her perception. If Ana is tempted at the Dave Rubin or Ben Shapiro models, which are successful in their own right (i.e., they can afford L.A. County home prices), I think this is the wrong decision by her.
I have always wanted to be a firm supporter of Ana Kasparian, but I can only handle her commentary in doses, and this is even before her recent drama with her “leaving the left”. I have witnessed Ana blow up, mispronounce or stutter her away through her segments, and generally make her own personal frustrations with grasping progressive concepts seem like it is a larger issue outside of herself, etc. I believe the frustration part for some on her audience is that the Political Right know exactly who they are whether they admit it or not, but the Left is trying to create a more unified front to combat conservatives, yet, it seems like Ana is airs her frustrations with the Left (embarrassing it) rather than linking up with more progressives that are popular online to learn, converse, share ideas, etc. You rarely if ever hear Tim Pool, Tomi Lahren, Dave Rubin, Candace Owens, The Red Elephant, Charlie Kirk, etc., question conservatism. They are cheerleaders for it. Their unwavering support for conservatism seems to attract more loyal followers somehow.
Yet, I have also seen Ana be one on the most personable media figures, and she has been an advocate and defender of progressive causes.
So, I suspect what she’s doing now is partially personal as she has a slight career crisis about her future and what she has accomplished.
However, personally, she has admitted publicly that all she knows is the Young Turks media outlet, she has no kids, etc.
Ana seems to be going thru a mid-life crisis looking back at her life and asking if she were as productive than she had hoped for. Feeling these feelings of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and probably thinking she is smarter than newer commentators who have benefitted from easier means of making money online (e.g., Serf Times, The Vanguard, etc.). She seems to be throwing the Left under the bus rather than understanding criticism comes with the job of being an activists and ally in order to make a career move. That is, it. She has to asks herself is she a newscaster or a real political activist? I think she wants to branch out on her own but is using criticism against her to gaslight her critics to make her run towards whatever future she sees for herself.
But that is a maybe and I could be wrong. Sometimes it seems she and Cenk seems to be having their Howard Stern and Robin tensions akin those depicted in the movie Private Parts, i.e., there are professional tensions, though there is a deep friendship between the two.
I think the Zodiac is corny and weird, but Ana seems like a bull-headed person.
Also, Ana does possess a level of professional envy such as towards Hasan Piker.
She has said some low blow things towards Hasan to minimalize his success as a political Twitch Streamer. Ana bought into Cenk’s idea of being an online news outlet, yet TYT did not adapt to the new arena of live streaming on platforms such as Twitch, which Hasan ran away with and capitalized on. Hasan is actually in the trenches of where the culture is, more so than where the news is. That’s the difference. Hasan understanding interfacing in real time is what younger people want, and it is the youth who are the ones most politically active now. TYT at this point is from mid-to-late twenties to mid-forties people, with some deviations in both directions. However, will TYT or a TYT host ever be on a panel on live TV asking presidential candidates questions? Is every single politician kicking down their doors to get a brief interview? However, we should be happy to have TYT because they are combating the likes of The Blaze, The Daily Wire etc., yet even these are somewhat obscure compared to mainstream media that many Americans still trust and watch.
Yet, Ana instead of praising and collaborating with Hasan, Ana unleashed her “Tracy Flick” on him. Even Hasan’s uncle in Cenk has helped collaborate with his nephew, though they both seem to understand they have different prerogatives.
Ana in a video titled Cenk Uygur Answers Tough Questions About His Past, published four years ago, stated she has full editorial control of the program now, and this was in the midst of Cenk’s eventual unsuccessful political run. I think Ana was hoping that Cenk would win his race, hand her the keys, and then they establish a direct pipeline network with him in political power and her running the media business. Yet, Cenk didn’t win and I suspect retained his original role of power within the company, likely at the cost of Ana’s perceived leadership amongst the TYT staff. Ana being loyal was maybe hoping to be the Queen Bee of the organization but with Cenk not leaving, her role was essentially reduced to co-equals. Compound this with the stellar rise of Hasan Piker being interviewed by major news outlets about his career. Ana may be asking herself “did I make the right decision for my career”.
This is going to sounds harsh starting off but it is just better to get this out of the way.
Ana seems to be kind of a… daddy’s girl and Valley Girl from a relatively sheltered existence who has a worldview that centers around Los Angeles County. The issue with being from a place like L.A. or even NYC is that these places are so large and layered that it creates the optical illusion that truth, standards, etc., must arise from these places. These are self-sustaining places that suck in resources from everywhere else and then spits back pop culture, media, and entertainment to everywhere else.
Playing detective, Ana (based on her social media activity) wants to be a salsa-dancing, L.A. hot wife, who catches up with Cat Power listening friends over mimosas and brunch, but who also has 2nd Wave to 3rd Wave feminist ideals, i.e., she wants to be an empowered working professional with her own financial security and wants to smash glass-ceilings, but she also does value traditional femininity. And…there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, but maybe she needs to be honest with herself and maybe her audience (if she is comfortable with that) that this is who she is.
She and TYT call themselves progressive, but progressive is a sentiment and not necessarily a defined political position. A Progressive can be a person who rejects capitalism outright and wants a world of progressive social sentiments, or a progressive can possibly be a person who has capitalist bourgeoise leanings who wants a world of progressive social sentiments. Ana is more in the capitalist bourgeoise camp, and I would her call a Democratic Capitalist or Social Democratic Capitalist and not a Democratic Socialist, Communists, etc.
I think she is having an existential journey about where she really fits, yet I think she maybe acting reactionary based on Twitter or YouTube criticism, rather than seeing the criticism of her has potentially valid.
I like to say that “being critiqued isn’t being oppressed”
TYT is progressive but that’s broad. But being broad is good for business for them. Cenk however has stated publicly that he isn’t a socialist, but he doesn’t ascribe to conservative allegations that anything social in nature is socialist. But an issue with TYT trying to be the news rather than an activist organization is that at a certain point they will have to grow and scale which means becoming more center.
I believe TYT thinks they can shift the Overton Window more left wing by pulling more Right Wingers to the Left by agreeing with them, so the new center is more far left than what it was, but by doing so TYT faces a dilemma of throwing true hardened Leftists under the bus. Ana’s freaks out furthers the process of making the Left, Social Justice, etc., seem like a failed freakshow.
Better put, Ana, keep your frustrations to yourself in pivotal moments because showing a disunited front on the Left does more harm than good, especially considering TYT likely talks to left leaning yet independent voters who are just one issue away of abandoning the Left. Better put even more, Ana is a role model, so her acting this way insinuates there is more chaos on the Left than there needs to be, when really instead of freaking out she needs to “reach out”. Say it with me. “Don’t freak out. Reach out”.
This moderation of TYT seems noble but I think it actually be detrimental because in order to appeal to moderates, you may have to play into the conservative framing of leftists which insinuates they are cartoonish, dangerous, “postmodern”, etc. Also, can you really trust the conservatives? They are constantly looking for “one of the good ones”, i.e., a black person who spouts condescending talking abouts used by white supremacists about black people, or a woman who decries feminism as means of reconstructing men’s wounded egos.
Back to what I suspect her actual life and upbringing were like, Ana seems like the pre-teen and teenager who watched a little Sex and the City on HBO here and there, but being a 90s and early 2000s kid she was raised on the post-Cold war prosperity of MTV, Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, etc., yet the issue with 90s – coming from a black person’s perspective – is that even though we were trained to live in a post-MLK racial harmony-type world (which I was raised in and made many good memories within), the truth is that the 90s was defined by commodifying racial differences. Simply because Raven Simone was the black girl in Zenon Girl of the 21st Century, and youth white girls sang to Destiny’s Child, or non-black people tuned into In Livin’ Color, Martin, or the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, or non-black people knew Tupac lyrics, this does not somehow mean we “solved racism” or that “things were better”.
Reading her blog post about why she is leaving the Left, I noticed a tinge of nostalgia, which interestingly is something I notice as being a key tenant to conservative and MAGA politics. The myth that things were simply better back then because we didn’t question things or “get offended by everything”. Conservatives want to go back to racial jokes not because they’re simply funny, but because they do reinforce differences that were innate to a society built from a colonial and racial caste system. They want to go back to “don’t be so sensitive” so they can reinvigorate F-bomb dropping homophobia and “boys will be boys” get of out jail cards. A big part of why people are voting for MAGA which Ana doesn’t seem to get while see feels sorry for herself is that they are simply voting for him out of spite. It is a middle finger vote to knowing they are losing arguments but want to feel right in being wrong. They don’t want to admit people call the police on black people for simply existing sometimes. They don’t want to admit that society is largely about protecting male’s egos. They don’t want to see how the hot dogs are made but rather want to feel like a King for a brief moment by sending perfectly good food back to the kitchen, simply because they can.
Many are voting for Trump to double down on their first vote for him. They can’t be negotiated with.
They voted because they think they are right and will be right, and even if the data proves them wrong on certain issues, they don’t care. They have shown themselves as easily descending into dues ex machina thinking with conspiracy theories such as Qanon mythology. They voted for Trump not because they want their beliefs to be compromised with, but they want them to be the standard. Contrary to popular belief, is that you can be conservative in a liberal or progressive world, but you can’t be liberal or progressive in a conservative one. Vengeance (cleaning the swamp, purges, mass deportation, locking her up chants), fear, cruelty (e.g., mocking Haitian refugees as voodoo worshippers who eat people’s pets), mockery, and nostalgia are what underlies the logos of MAGA. Period.
And what is interesting is that the last paragraph I wrote above, I did so before the election. And I think I am right in what I said.
[Back to what I wrote pre-election] When we as a society did not get offended by everything was because we as American consumers were not trained to see how the “meat in the hotdogs” were processed, but rather to simply consume things. The 80s and 90s was in part about covering up the radicalism that occurred in the 60s and 70s. For example, I remember thinking back to hippies as being these failed oddballs like the bus driver on The Simpsons, rather than people who had tangible and merited criticisms of the status quo. Hippies, Black Panthers, feminists, etc., were turned into TV show caricatures trying to hurt the delicate balance of Al Bundy beer-drinking-with-hands-down-his-pants America. I am almost forty. I feel like Al Bundy, so when I say that pop cultural quote, I really mean it.
Moving on, Ana being the children of Armenian immigrants, to me means her understanding of the USA is not genealogical [and I would make the same assertion of Cenk Uyghur and Hasan Piker — where Hasan often has a condescending tone towards Americans].
Her understanding of issues such as race, class, etc., are not nuanced by having generations upon generations of ancestors within the United States who relate to these issues, e.g., the existences and consciousness of foundational African Americans (and many foundational White Americans) being explicitly linked to the questions of race within this country (slavery, Jim Crow, the very founding of the USA, etc.).
She knows racism, slavery, police brutality are bad, but based on her upbringing and background, her understanding of these issues can at best only be described as sympathetic and text-book level rather a deeper level grasp of the issues. I believe this is also a point of frustration for her. As a person who has to talk and ask a lot of questions, she seems to be scared of being in spaces where she has to listen.
For example, even if I were to move to Armenia, my understanding of the historicity and gravitas of the society would be limited, though as a human capable of feeling, I would be able to feel for Armenian people, but I would have to humble myself into not thinking I am an expert on deep cultural nuances, feuds, genocides, etc., that occurred there.
But, also back to her immigrant experiences is, that Ana does come from a literal Caucus Mountain, old world, patriarchal culture. A part of the world defined by ethnic feuds, good foods, and territorialism. I don’t want to minimize her ethnic culture, and I admit that I am making assumptions here, but I can assume that her Armenian heritage probably played a role her worldview such as emphasizing a strong, manly, bravado projecting masculinity in her desired partner, but also with a vocal matriarch who is the keeper of her home. Los Angeles has strong Armenian, Turkish, Iranian, Azerbaijani, and Jewish communities who set up in places like Reseda, Burbank, Topanga, Woodland Hills, North Hollywood, etc.
The world that Ana was raised in while in the San Fernando Valley is akin to the TV show, Cobra Kai being based in The Valley. Strip malls with some great secret find ethnic restaurants, car dealerships, ethnic newsletters in a people’s indigenous language, 1960s or 1970s ranch style homes, dingbat apartments, Cal State Northridge, and rumors here and there about how so-and-so from high school is now making hardcore pornography filmed in the home of a person who moonlights as a production assistant for TV studios down in Burbank where Unsolved Mysteries was made at.
The Valley is true suburban (not exurban which is what most people think suburbs are) existence in a megalopolis such as L.A., where one’s own neighborhood could effectively be considered its own city. These areas are often defined by socio-economic and racial lines.
The LAPD has a budget on par with the militaries of small lesser developed nations. The mayor of LA, the LA Sheriff’s office, the LA Public School Superintendent are powerful positions that would make lower-level federal a bureaucrat blush.
L.A. when Ana was a child was home to the notorious Rodney King Beating, O.J. Simpson trial, the Bloods vs Crypts beefs, Huntington Beach Skinheads, the LA Riots with the “Rooftop Koreans”, etc., but also positive things such the 1992 Olympics, etc. The world of her childhood was likely defined by an insular suburban protection away from the real social unrest affecting late 80s to early 90s Los Angeles. A city defined by real world issues yet glossed over by projecting images of Melrose Place and Beverly Hills 90210.
I was reading her blog post about why she is leaving the Left and I felt that she was more sheltered than what I had suspected.
Think about everything I have just said and then add on her personality type
I have mixed feelings on Ana Kasparian, but I mostly lean as being supportive of her. She is (not has been), but is an ally of progressive causes, but I wouldn’t call her a Leftist necessarily. However, a big dilemma in most debates centering around politics is that to be Left Wing means to be part of a larger spectrum, e.g., center left versus leftists.
Ana’s freak outs aren’t helping in building consensus on the Left. But building consensus is for activists, not necessarily for newscasters.
It’s unfortunate but I think Donald Trump is going to win and the inner elite of Democrats may want this. The rich, Zionists, cops, most churches, crypto bros, the gun lobby, Russians, Saudis, corporations, Elon Musk-rats (fan boys), many old Boomers, Neo Nazis, the men of all colors who revolted against feminism, Hoteps, angry bosses who hate telework, right wing conspiracy theorists, anti LGBTQ demographic (TERFs included), and even conservative first generation immigrants, etc., all want him to win.
I suppose he’ll pardon himself and all his buddies. He’ll load the courts with more conservative cleric judges. He’ll ease up on Russia but then increase tension with China, despite Russia and China being allies, so easing up on one just helps the other elsewhere attempt to expand their hegemony.
But…
Perception is everything, but unfortunately not only are Democrats losing the perception battle, they are losing the reality battle as well. The only thing the Democrats have is saving us from Trump, and the unhinged stable of salivating conservatives he will give power from Marjorie Taylor Greene, JD Vance, Jerome Corsi, etc.
Despite, offering amnesty to undocumented peoples or asylum seekers or promising to cancel federal student debt, the Biden Administration despite wanting bipartisanship, are looking like a party that is compounding social issues for the worst ranging from crime, drug use, homelessness, inflation, etc. Further, even to their own party, the Biden Administration seems as if they are placating conservatives. Sure, these aren’t all the faults of Democrats. These are often global issues that have spanned decades, yet, perception is important. Trump for example can’t fix the root causes of immigration.
Democrats are in a rock and a hard place, because they actually try to juggle positions (Israel and Palestine, BIPOC community needs to that of the white working blue collar class, female liberation/empowerment, but notably…capitalism versus progress).
For example, the murders of women by illegal immigrant, aliens, what have you, does sting the public, as it should. Rachel Morin, Kayla Hamilton, Laken Riley, Mollie Tibbetts, Ruby Garcia, etc., were killed by undocumented immigrants.
Do Democrats want to lose? Or, are they more strongly positioned than given credit for?
If they lose, by doing so, corporate democrats will be OK, the Zionist lobby can continue its razing of Gaza and push forward in the establishment of its ethno-state (to the glee of Evangelicals on the Right Wing side of the aisle who want a Tim LeHay “Left Behind (book series)” Doomsday End Times scenario), and then Republicans can storm in and accelerate corporate domination/destroy central government, plus they can blame the Progressive wing of the Democratic party as being the reasons they lost (with people such as Bill Maher on the bullhorn for centrists blaming progressives).
The Democrats losing sets the stage for Democrats to seem disappointed and ready to “put up a fight” (get donations) and continues the Jacobean revenge narrative that is parroted in the mainstream news, i.e., a sort of manufactured beef between both parties though both parties vote with each other on bills that benefits their mutual benefactors.
But, it is wild that Trump can even still run for President.
I like Biden but he is very old, and yes, I know that Biden has a marked past. Yet, I will likely vote for him because, I can’t vote for Trump, because of him just being him, even though I admit that I’m fairly conservative on borders and immigration. Voting third party or not at all is a waste. We are in the “lesser of two evil” options, and voting for him is the best thing most likely.
On Trump, way back before he dropped the Latinos are rapists comments in 2016, I didn’t see much difference between him and Bernie as far as populist candidates – i.e., I admit I thought there was some hope in him, but after that comment it started downhill for me. It’s his ability to be so unfiltered that he ends up proping up opposition.
Trump kept further doubling down on his snarky quest of simply trying to prove his critics wrong, even if it meant endorsing divisive and controversial subjects.
Also, Trump will flood his administration with extremists spanning right wing libertarians, the Christian Right, anti-environmentalists and Climate Change deniers, prayer in school advocates, tax payer support for religious education advocates , Project 2025 advocates funded by the Heritage Foundation, Federalist Society endorsed circuit court judges with life appointments, Zionists, etc.
Further I am not voting for him because of the fact I think he did conspire with Russia (which is different than believing in Russia-gate which was more a DC beltway initiative against Trump that likely mixed fact with fiction) and most certainly conspired with Israel in some capacity (Netanyahu, Jared Kushner, Chabad Lubavitch, Republican Jewish Coalition with Eliot Brody, Joel Zamel of Psy Group in Israel, etc.) in some capacity to assist him with the 2016 election.
Note: I think Russia-gate was largely a distraction because if the Feds knew of Russia involvement beforehand, they shouldn’t have said something before Trump won. Yet, I can only speculate that this was the case as a means of springing a trap against Trump which was a way of indicating to foreign intelligence such as the Mossad and Russians, that the American intel community will orchestrate a take down of its own President if it means preserving the USA. However, we can’t ignore the fact that Russians infiltrated the Republican Party such as 1) their strange arrival at the National Prayer Breakfast, 2) Marina Butina’s infiltration of the NRA, 3) the fact that white supremacists during the Unite the Right rally, chanted the song “Russia in our friend”, 4) dozens of Russian spies caught in the USA, 5) Capitol Rioter and Neo Nazi, Riley June Williams attempting to steal Nancy Pelosi’s laptop and send it to Russia, 6) Alex Jones being broadcast on Russia State TV, 7) the writing of Aleksandr Dugin having inspired the Alt-Right such as Lauren Southern going to Russia to interview him, Jay Dyer, etc. The truth too is that hate group, The Base, is located in Russia and was founded by an American defector, and David Duke even had an apartment in Moscow. There seems to have been a concerted effort by Russia post the Fall of the Berlin Wall to shift from trying to infiltrate Left Wing groups and instead infiltrate Right Wing politics, largely by appealing to a sense of connected whiteness, Christianity, etc. Yet, Putin looking out only for Russia, is likely using this strategy as a means of furthering division in the United States (such as promoting racial divisions with bot farms, etc.) in order to help expand Russian power back in Europe (destabilizing NATO, the EU, and conquering buffering states). For example, according to DW (a German news outlet), Putin confidant Viktor Medvedchuk has helped facilitate talks with Germany’s Far Right AfD (Alternative for Germany, i.e., Deutschland) Party.
Also, another reason I can’t handle Trump, is the general vileness of many of his pundits ranging from Charlie Kirk, Matt Walsh, Candance Owens, Steven Crowder, Nick Fuentes, Lilly Gaddis, Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, etc. Oh, and how can we forget January 6th, the Fake Elector Plot, and him now being a convicted felon….
Trump has been found guilty and is a convicted felon regarding his misuse of campaign funds to pay adult actress and director, Stormy Daniels.
Alex Jones is going bankrupt for his involvement in terrorizing the lives of those who lost loved ones during the Sandy Hook Shootings and may lose is InfoWars empire.
Steven Bannon, a general chaos agent with deep international links spanning Hong Kong to England’s Cambridge Analytica and European Far Right Parties, as being the brainchild behind Trump’s 2016 election and likely a planner of the fake-elector plot during the 2020 election, has been ordered to jail.
Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign manager with shadowy ties to offshore banks in Cyprus was indicted for financial crimes and failing to disclose foreign lobbying efforts in 2018. With the assistance of Microsoft Copilot, another campaign manager, Brad Parscale, President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, was hospitalized on an involuntary hold after he threatened to harm himself while armed with a gun at his Florida home. The incident occurred on September 27, 2021, and police released a video of his arrest. Multiple January 6th insurrectionists have been arrested and jailed. With more help from Microsoft Copilot, Riley June Williams, a far-right extremist who was “obsessed” with white nationalist Nick Fuentes, received a three-year prison sentence for her role in storming the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. And, we can’t forget the MAGA Shaman.
Despite, all of these convictions, conspiracies, etc., it seems….a good chunk of America doesn’t care. Why? Republicans strongly have encircled the aesthetics of Americana ranging from the Stars Spangled Banner, militarism, etc. Also, MAGA does have an appeal to nostalgia similarly to Reagan’s nostalgia of the 1950s during the 1980s, and many older people don’t see the world like younger generations where Millennials, Gen Z, etc., were raised with a critical lens and the ability to deconstruct, notably being critical to American exceptionalism, unfettered capitalism, etc. Yet, despite your average older voters who boil down politics to oversimplified matters of “government bad” “cheap food good” “foreigners scary” “taxes, no-no”, etc., there is a legitimate conscious racist wing of MAGA politics who want a fascist state and the overthrow of democratic institutions.
But, let’s be real…
It seems like Democrats want to lose because the truth is they are liberals and so are Republicans.
That’s what people seem to have a hard time understanding as political pundits play a linguistic shell game throwing around the work “liberal” to explicitly mean the Democratic Party.
Democrats and Republicans are both liberals in that they descend from the liberal enlightenment traditions which advocate for democracy, republicanism, individual rights, separation of church and state, and commerce. Republicans in a very oversimplified way could be considered “classical liberals” with a penchant for traditionalism – hence they have a conservative moral set – and less regulation on business class (where if we apply intersectionality, this naturally comes off as more white, male, etc., since that was the traditional core of economic and political power dating back to colonial times).
Democrats are “modernist liberals” with emphasis on pragmatism (which in part morphed in bureaucratic managerialism to deal with the residual effects of the Industrial Revolution such as child labor, unionism, etc.), cosmopolitanism (the emphasis on cities, immigrant communities, etc.), and negotiating between the business class and the worker class (juggling unionism, wage increases, etc.). Modern Democrats are descended from the goal of expanding the franchise dating all the way back from the Democrat-Republican split during the times of Andrew Jackson’s expansionism, where this era was later heavily influenced by the mid-to-post Civil War Era of Northern political machines who extended the expansion of the franchise to new immigrant groups, e.g., the Irish and Italians in the late 19th and early 20th century, and later African Americans in the mid 20th century. Democrats were also influenced by Progressive Era philosophies of John Dewey and the living document doctrine of Oliver Wendell Holmes on the Supreme Court.
Yet, since Democrats are still a pro-business and a capitalist party like Republicans (despite Republican linguistic shell-games using terms such as “the far left” to define Democrats), they, i.e., Democrats would rather side with Republicans, even if it means they lose.
This is because Democrats and Republicans both have the same business and corporate donors. In other words, win or lose, the party’s head honchos still win and same goes for Republicans in reverse. By losing, Democrats still get paid by the big corporations to help pass legislation that increases their power over the population, yet they can obfuscate and blame Republicans which is vital in continuing campaign contributions for our American election cycle, helping the news cycle between CNN/MSNBC vs Fox News, etc.
What I am getting at is, that in the upcoming 2024 it seems that either Democrats feel entitled with a sense of Hillary Clinton-esque arrogance into thinking people will simply vote for them because of the “Trump, bad” angle, or Democrats want to lose because they are being paid to lose, and by being paid, I mean exactly that. However, I am not discounting people that are true believes in Biden as being a saving grace against Trump. So, there are really three angles to see.
But paid by whom? Corporations from across the board (notably big Pharma, defense, agriculture, etc.) but also the Zionist lobby considering the Zionist camp likely thinks Trump can push them over the line in their conquest of Gaza, despite Joe Biden doing a decent job of hopscotch P.R., for them as he battles their needs versus the anti-war and humanitarian groups. Democrats as a “big tent” party that incorporates a lot of different visible groups have had to play the hard card of juggling corporate donor expectations with the needs of people, yet Republicans who are anti-welfare, wage increases, etc., don’t have to negotiate with Big Business because they are the party of big business. Republican tenants such as small government, less regulation, and lower taxes may sound good to the individual who has been convince their unique individuality matters, but the truth is that these tenants disproportionately benefits corporations which are legal people with rights such as Citizens United and even being allowed to vote in municipal elections in states such as Delaware.
Democrats have a generally harder job than Republicans. They take the blame a lot more because they have more to balance and juggle.
Democrats if they lose will be able cry about how they lost, but also use liberal grumps such as Bill Maher (an Eastern seaboard elitist with faux nods to the working class, despite still standing up to conservativism) will gaslight the true Left. The true Left are different than liberals (Democrats, Republicans, etc.), because they are critical if not outright opposed to capitalism, i.e., this is when we start drifting towards socialist territory (where communism is a type of socialism, but not the only type of socialism, i.e., democratic socialism or reformist socialism is different than Marx’s theories of Communist socialism).
There’s something sinister relating to Trump’s possible return. Christian nationalism trying to implement Project 2025 by the Heritage Foundation, MAGA’s links to Neo Nazi groups such as Nick Fuentes Groypers of the America First Movement (which branched off from Charlie Kirk’s mainstream Turning Point USA) and residuals of the Unite The Right rally, Israeli Zionism (note: I support the state of Israel, though there’s a sinister direction that Netanyahu has taken his country on), a world slipping back into right wing authoritarianism, attacks on women’s rights, attacks on LGBTQ understanding, etc.
I’m not sure where our beloved nation is headed
The more fascist it becomes, just means the more insignificant it is. And, a lot of us don’t get this point.
Do, I totally understand climate change, feminism, LGBTQ? No. But I understand hate. And I can see it ooze from Trump’s being.
(1) Many Christian conservatives often fall into conspiracy theories, yet, isn’t obsessing over conspiracy theories a sign of not having faith? If their faith is so strong and God is in control, then it seems that Christians don’t really believe God…is…in…control. Once could go further and say that Christians who engage in conspiracy theory are actually engaging in blasphemy because people are still trying to control things rather than having faith in God making things right.
(2) It’s funny how people say the Second Amendment is about protecting us against a tyrannical government, yet, if that’s the case then why did so many white people not pick up arms to liberate black people from Jim Crow? Or, at a minimum be supportive of black people taking up arms to liberating themselves? Maybe it’s because what is “tyrannical” is subjective, i.e., just because you don’t like something you call it tyrannical, but what’s tyrannical to one is not to another. A lot of people seems Ok when a segment of the population was being oppressed.
(3) It’s interesting how conservatives said that COVID was a hoax, yet, the only way how Trump kept out migrants and refugees was through acknowledging that COVID existed with his use of Title 42 laws (the ability to keep people out of the USA because of public health concerns). So either COVID is real and was a real threat, or the Trump Administration used a hoax per conservative logic to keep out migrants, and in theory, per the law, violate the ability for people to seek asylum.
(4) Republicans say they want to bring money home, such as when talking about the Ukraine Russian War, etc., yet, this is the same party…. that wants to cut public education, raise social security (thus, increasing the chance of not getting it since you’re closer to dying, etc.).
(5) Conservatives are trying to argue that religion should not be separate from state, yet this just leads to xenophobia because society therefore becomes a battle of which religion has more power over the other because people don’t want to be rulee by a religion they don’t align with. Christian Nationalist also wanting secular power also negates their faith because in theory God is control and has a plan, yet it seems Christian Nationalist want to control the plan because deeply they don’t have faith and/or their faith is “bad faith”, i.e., for selfish, racist, sexist, etc., reasons. Which church would even rule? There are thousands of Protestant churches. Will we be…Church of God, Southern Baptist, Missionary Baptists, Anglican, Episcopalian, Methodist, African Methodist Episcopalian, Seventh Day Adventist, Unitarian, Roman Catholic, Coptic Christian, Orthodox, Quaker, Mennonite, Amish, etc.?
(6) Conservatives say they dislike government, despite hailing police agencies which are government institutions. Not saying that is good or bad, but just admit that conservatives do like elements of government.
(7) Conservatives want to ban adult content yet state they value free speech between consenting adults, where adults are legally allowed to enter into contracts, including contracts that includes the use of their bodies. By banning legal pornography all you do is create the market for illegal pornography which empowers criminals and ironically may help increase human trafficking. It’s also insane how Conservatives try to merge legal desire between adults with crime as a low IQ and strawman strategy to guilt people away from not being sexually empowered, educated, fulfilled, etc.
(8) Conservatives were saying All Lives Matters or say “I don’t see Color” but then freak out when a person of color is cast in movie in a role that was traditionally played by a white person.
(9) JD Vance, Trump’s Vice President, made fun of modern, independent-minded women by calling them “childless cat ladies”, yet, his benefactor, Peter Thiel is a gay man (not a crime) who can’t have children. Vance claims that people without children don’t care about the country, yet Peter Thiel is his benefactor and mentor
(10) It’s interesting how much the Blue Lives Matter crowd is silent when it comes to supporting Kamala Harris who was a prosecutor helping cops get convictions
(11) Conservatives are saying now that the Democrats are warmongers, yet, Republicans have made it very clear they are willing to go to war with Iran, and some even with China. They also pretended to care when Biden left Afghanistan. So… they wanted us to stay in the war in Afghanistan, yet are saying the want to end wars?
(12) Many American Christians are capitalist, but you can’t bring your money into the afterlife, and what is the point of making a lot of money if you want End Time to happen?
First off, black people can be racist despite this insane notion these days that black people cannot since black people “lack power”. But to believe this actually defeats Black Nationalist claims of supremacy and fosters a victim mentality, yet being ambiguous between victim and bigot is a form of power but being deceptive about it. Believing black people can’t be racist ironically is dehumanizing which defeats the claim of being empowered. Black people can be racist yet the scope of that racism is lesser if talking in terms of systems. So it’s not that black people objectively can’t be racist if we’re to entrain this often leftist notion, but rather their racism has little impact on larger systems; however, within smaller or interpersonal dymanics, of course black people can be racist within the context of tjem being minorities. Not holding us to the same standards is proof that certain forces want to instigate and perpetuate the racial divide. Everyone can punch but some punches have more weight behind them.
Regardless, I don’t want to hate Umar Johnson. I feel his intentions to want to help are correct but his prescription to solve the problems facing black people are unnecessary. He is playing the racial dialectic game without realizing that in many ways that is…the point of America, i.e., to keep the black-white binary (or, black-white and white adjacent binary – which includes white Hispanic, Arab, Asian, etc.) in perpetual struggle as a means of dividing the public, where such division notably amongst the traditional white poor (and, more recently the social climbing first to second generation Latino still figuring out where they stand in the racial hierarchy scheme) serves to protect the capitalist ruling class of predominantly white or white adjacent men.
Instead of a true class struggle beyond identity politics, figures like Umar Johnson exploit the more-so Left Wing (anti-colonial and self-deterministic) sentiment which calls for the need for certain communities to have their own “incubation period to resolve the issues of colonialism”, etc.
Umar usurps this calling for what I call the “incubation/healing phase” for oppressed groups and instead hijacks it to create a version of black supremacy and what I would argue is black fascism.
Hence, why I say Umar Johnson is the perfect example of the Horseshoe Theory, i.e., in the case of Left-Wing politics, if you go too far Left (for example through “woke territory”) you end up at the opposite end of the spectrum and wind up in Right Wing territory. Same can be said if you go too Right Wing, i.e., what we see to be white racial collectivism abandoning notions of individualism as seen in the liberal tradition in exchange for dictatorial leaders who oversee an expansive police-government state, i.e., a sort of Communist totalitarian state.
In theory, Umar is an unwitting agent to give the system what it wants (a continuation of the colorist and racial caste system needed for divide-and-conquer purposes over the proletariat) because it wants segregation and will use anything, including the political left or wokeness on top of the traditional right-wing methods to achieve that.
I do not think that black people attempting to incubate our own wealth and prosperity is bad thing at all considering the truth of our history, yet, you can do this without being a racialist, colorist, patriarch, etc.
One simple flaw that black people or activist seem to make without realizing it is that they don’t have to call every initiative that attempts to help black people as being “black”, because we already know who the initiatives are for, and often “the system” uses such “exclusive-seeming marketing” as a means of encouraging the further solidification of white supremacy. For example, White Power actually was a reaction to Black Power in the 1960s through white supremacist figures such as William Luther Pierce (author or The Hunter and The Turner Diaries), and sure, of course, we know that Black Power and White Power are two different things – at least in their origins and original intent – but still, black people need realize strategically speaking that marketing every helpful black movement as explicitly black, ironically and systemically is used to continue the oppression black people.
Yet, many black activists would reject my analysis on this because to them they are wanting to make a firm statement and they see anything that doesn’t go “hard enough”, i.e., seen as being un-apologetically black, as not being authentic.
However, my rebuttal to such an accusation would simply be…don’t broadcast all your moves, i.e., don’t put a target on your back just to make a moral or figurative statement. In other words, do not make this about prideful proclamations when you can achieve more without people noticing you often.
For example, “white companies” which are the majority don’t market themselves as “white owned” even though it is understood that most of the profits are going into white hands. Yet, black people wanting to make a powerful statement, flaunt, flex, etc., to prove “we can” always want to slap the “black” this or that label on everything, which ironically limits one’s market-size and potential for market capitalization because…most people will think it’s “only for them”. This is ironic because white or Asian business firms will take money from everywhere rather than just their own respective race or ethnic group, and thus have more capital to assert their dominance over institutions. For example, if we are to accept that hierarchies form naturally in society, then self-segregation limits the scale thus power of your “pyramid”.
And that last paragraph brings me back to the adage of “By Any Means Necessary.” By Any Means Necessary does not necessarily mean “by our own means only”.
Regardless, back to Umar, he cherry picks from the Marxist or Communist/Socialist or Critical Theory analysis of intersectionality and class struggle (spanning black leftist figures from Cornell West, Angela Davis, Huey Newton, Omali Yeshitela, Bell Hooks, etc.), yet, inserts his deep-rooted desires to have a conservative, Right Wing, “blood and soil”, male-driving nationalist community.
The mixing of Left-Wing analytical methods with that of Right-Wing concepts such hierarchies, firm binaries, hyper masculinity, etc., is textbook…fascism. We cannot forget that Mussolini started as a Communist before becoming a fascist. We cannot forget that even though Nazis were not “true Socialist” according to many socialist, notably the Communists because the Nazis hated Communism, we still must realize that early Nazi ideology was influenced in part by post-WWIs strong socialist sentiments. Hitler just so happened to reject the Marxist interpretation of history and co-opted socialism by infusing it with a Right-Wing traditionalism, which interestingly became advantageous to the pre-existing capitalist and industrialist class (i.e., Nazi economics was essentially corporatism ruled by a dictatorship of profit seeking industrialists operating in state-sponsored cartels who owed allegiance first and foremost to the German people and state, i.e., state capitalism nuanced by a cultural or racial supremacy).
Many fascists though they agree with concepts of collectives particularly on a racial-cultural sense, often reject the erosion of hierarchies. Fascist economics could be seen as a “Third Way” or “Third Position” framework where they combine some elements of socialist or egalitarian thought but often reject the Marxist view of history (class struggle), yet, through a type of Will to Power (coopted from Friedrich Nietzsche) via an unconscious “spiritualism” (e.g., Carl Jung’s emphasis on subconsciousness and archetypes) in the “zeitgeist” (i.e., collective spirit as in the writings of Hegel) apply a Right-Wing political framework that justifies the needs for rigid hierarchies, notably in a world of cyclical disorder (e.g., the Kali Yuga in Hinduism which inspired the Occultism elements of European fascism) and where people-groups are engaged in perpetual battle (for example through Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection).
This is why fascist countries, though seeming to emulate elements of socialism are effectively “modern feudalist states” shrouded with cultural imagery, religious devotion, etc. Yet, feudalism evolved into capitalism and capitalism into corporatism, thus current definitions of fascist countries could be defined as “hierarchical corporatist states”.
This is what Umar really wants. A black fascist state, but he could only achieve such goals by band-wagoning or “Trojan Horse-ing” off of current black Left-Wing movements such as Black Lives Matter or even the capitalist inclusion of black empowerment as a marketable product with Disney-Marvel production such as the Black Panther franchise. For example, we live in the era of hashtags such as #staywoke #BLM #wakanda or #wakandaforever. Yet, like most aspiring autocrats, they are often failures at something in their buried past they wish not to be discovered. They also lack the technical expertise to achieve their goals so instead they rely on fiery rhetoric to convince enough smart people to accomplish their goals for them.
In other words, Umar wouldn’t be the Umar we know without him using the current chaos of political discourse and Left Wing wokeness though he opposes the Left Wing and liberalism. Like fascism which has caused many debates about its actual definition, Umar represents a sort of logical ambiguity yet expresses emotionally his deep-rooted desires and dreams of grandeur. He splices ideology to achieve a fascist conclusion.
There are a lot of scars and traumas within the Black Community and in theory that is what wokeness attempts to heal.
Wokeness simply means aware, i.e., being aware of topics such as systemic racism, voter suppression, lack of access to capital markets, police brutality, gentrification, mass incarceration, the complex systems of industrial scale slavery, Jim Crow, Jim Crow’s effects on the modern prison industrial complex, unauthorized and/or inhuman experiments on people such as the Tuskegee Syphilis experiments or how economically weakened African nations are given foreign aid to fight diseases such as HIV/AIDs or malaria, etc., only on the condition they remain cheap resource depots for the “imperialist powers”, etc. We can go on and on. WTO, IMF, World Bank, etc.
I purposely rapped off all that because…that is what wokeness has become. Knowing so much but what does knowing do once it reaches a logical conclusion? It either A) creates a depressive state in a person once they realize how “smart they are” but how helpless they are, B) it creates anger and radicalism to resolve said problems of A, or (C) it creates a manic rollercoaster ride between A and B.
Wokeness is a mixture of factual analysis but also an emotional desire for self-empowerment in the face of a civilization that defined blackness to be the “antithesis” to the thesis of whiteness. Woke is also not inherently political but just so happens to lean to the Left. For example, figures such as Joe Rogan who often expresses Right Wing views could be considered “woke” himself because he too engages in the “factual rapping” of statistics or events to explain how our world works, why its oppressive, and why systems should be seen with suspicion.
So woke is not bad, however, the constant deconstruction, Critical Theory, qualitative studies, anthropology, intellectualism, and faux intellectualism, has not really achieved the goals of what communities such as the black community wants, because in many ways there is an underlying notion that someone owes us something or the reason why we can’t build ourselves up is because no one is providing us our “just dues”.
It’s a contradictory sentiment. We preach how strong we are to not need anyone but then often want someone to help us, and this contradiction can be heard in Umar Johnson’s rhetoric. Also, wokeness meaning aware does not actually mean intelligent, and if so, only means intelligent enough to sense things, but not necessarily to do anything about it.
What I mean by that is the black community needs science, technology, engineering, and math to navigate the complex challenges of the modern/post-modern world, yet, the resounding resolution within most woke circles is simply more…analysis, i.e., an emphasis on social sciences, political science, history, video essays, book publishing, etc.
Better put, wokeness has only solved a fraction of the problem, i.e., we know how to see the sickness within the body (problems within the community) but often don’t push for technical skills to do the surgery. Umar wants to get credit for organizing the surgery though he too is helpless hence he overcompensates with toxic rhetoric. In other words, he’s in his feelings.
For example, why would Umar Johnson start an all-boys residential school that will likely not going to achieve accreditation from any governmental body, when he could have had an online education model? Why invest in physical property with taxes, safety guidelines, health guidelines, FDA and Department of Agricultural school meal guidelines, etc., when he could have had a collective of certified educators via online subscription service? Yet, when Umar was talking on VLADTV, Umar made more excuses by saying that black people in charter schools can’t teach because they need professional certifications. But…wouldn’t you want educators to be certified? Also, there’s plenty of educators with certifications. The thing is, is that Umar wants a school with no accountability so he can craft it in his own image, but to do so he must simply blame the system for not giving him what he wants, though this is on the belief that the rules of the system aren’t there for good reason. For example, we don’t want an Aryan Nation Nazi Schools with no accreditation and un-certified educators teaching children about the superiority of the white race and teaching pseudo-science such as…white people are from Madame Blavatsky root races who once lived on Atlantis or some nonsense.
Umar Johnson at this point is just trying to stay relevant with his racist bombastic style.
I honestly think he is crazy, and I mean as far as mental health. I can’t prove it on the clinical front, but he seems to have some sort of narcissistic personality disorder (dreams of grandeur and with an emphasis on being chosen) and I suspect it may be childhood trauma induced (since he rarely speaks of his past, family, etc.). His professional work involves studying the effects of ADD/ADHD diagnosis on black male youths, which is a noble endeavor, but I’m suspecting that Umar (Jermaine) was one of these kids and held a grudge about his possible experiences. But, this is speculation. He’s set himself up like many online figures to not be criticized because he’s stitched himself to the movements he’s co-opted, so to many people criticizing Umar now somehow means…criticizing black empowerment, but this is the fault of certain segments of the black community for consistently searching for what I call…a “Fuhrer” or Chosen One.
As a side note, this emphasis on looking for a chosen one interestingly can be seen in hip hop with figures such as Tupac (who depicted himself on the Cross in Killuminati – The 7 Day Theory, i.e., Makaveli), the Biblical Ezekiel-like prophetic rage of DMX, and of course the current Charles Manson-like delusions of Kanye West (Ye) who associated with Nazi like figures such as Nick Fuentes.
Umar hiding his past to me is a sign of distancing one’s true identity, a possible sign of embarrassment, etc. This seems especially true since he specializes in family and childhood counseling. In other words, he is not providing any examples of his home life, experiences, traumas, over-comings, etc., to explain or relate to the advice he is giving. If anything, Umar (Jermaine) doesn’t practice what he preaches which will be discussed in this section of my post/paper.
I stumbled upon a video on Instagram by user ” Commonsenseeli” in which Umar is in a room filled with clutter with some odd speech patterns (repeating the same thing over) but he says he was moving to Wilmington, Delaware – where his school for black boys is at. I assume he was just practicing a speech or pitch.
As far as absurd rhetoric, recently he has told black people not to vote in the USA and South African 2024 elections, adding to the already cynical and paranoid public (post CV19 lockdowns, Donald Trump & January 6, the death of Jeffrey Epstein, the riots over George Floyd, etc.) as if not voting will somehow mean someone won’t win and won’t take power.
Even if black people do not vote, you are just increasing the odds of having a party that has openly said anti-black rhetoric or at least uses coded language to criminalize black people. In other words, he is suppressing the black vote or getting black people to suppress it themselves. But, Umar just like Elijah Farrakhan (who won’t die) want this because they are advocates for…Race War.
I personally think that how Marcus Garvey admired the KKK, Umar admires the modern Alt Right and GOP (defined by MAGA). He’s not a liberal. He admires power and a patriarchal form of it. Imagine Umar with unlimited power. It would not be a good thing. [See Article: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/garvey-must-go-campaign/%5D
It is as if the GOP and its wealthy donors realized the Candace Owens, Turning Point USA, etc., route can only work so much with black – especially “hood black” – audiences, so the GOP is getting “multi-racial and religious” in its caucus such as using patriarchal, anti LGBTQ rhetoric etc., within certain elements of black and/or Muslim political discourse.
For example, Patrick Bet David while hosting Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA advocates for including more Muslims into Republican politics despite a likely apprehensive Kirk realizing a big element of right-wing, predominantly white, and Western liberal (in the classical sense) politics has anti-Islam as a key cornerstone (e.g., the European Identitarian movement, the Deus Vult movement of Right Wing Catholicism — typically defined with an anti-Pope Francis undertone for his progressive and reconciliation views).
Culturally, the online space as of 2024 is a mix of “Capitalist grind culture” (which is nuanced by the concept of “manifesting”, i.e., the belief in using psychic power to create your dream reality — which thus links to Zodiac, astrology, and New Age beliefs), memes, A.I. videos pushing conservative tropes (e.g., Thomas Sowell, Pat Buchanan, Milton Friedman talking points, etc.), Jordan B. Peterson musings, the anti-feminist Manosphere/Men’s Rights movement, conspiracy theories with often pseudo-science and religious undertones, etc.
Many black people – some not doing too well economically – seem to be “chronically online” and find themselves absorbing information from the Black spaces of the Red Pill space.
Umar’s core demographic is “woke” people from low income urban areas, black women (despite his patriarchal overtones), and maybe many Africans or Caribbean peoples with online access to black American media. Yet, these African and Caribbean cultures often apply what we would consider in the West to be pseudo-science such as spiritual medicine, witch doctors, but also the residuals of Christian missionaries where many pastors in Africa and the Caribbean use faith-healing, etc. You can also add on indigenous “pagan” religions, Rastafarianism (which has nods to Zion, i.e . Blackness as ordained since Ethiopia for instance has a biblical link) etc.
What we are witnessing in “woke” black culture something similar to European white reactionary politics which also “rejects modernity” and strives for a “racially pure”, organic, etc mindset.
For example, the Fresh and Fit podcast despite being hosted by two black men where one is a Muslim, are linked to figures such as “Rollo Tomassi”, author of the Rational Male, who has ties to racist figures such as Stefan Molyneux, who therefore leads to figures such as Lauren Southern, which therefore links to figures such as Jay Dyer who has contributed to Alex Jones’ InfoWars. We know Alex Jones is the kink between the conspiracy Right Wing to the MAGA movement, with Alex Jones even being on-site with Kenneth Chesboro of the Trump fake-elector plot scandal.
Popular black YouTuber, DJ Akademics (of a conservative Jamaican heritage) is a vocal Trump supporter and he’s collaborated with Fresh and Fit thus by proxy Andrew Tate, Kevin Samuels, and Rollo Tomassi. All are Trump supporters. This thus creeps further and further down the Rabbit Hole leading to the Young Americans (whose clips have been used by Fresh and Fit), the Alt Right, and back to literal Nazis.
In other words, figures like Charleston White, Umar Johnson, Fresh and Fit, etc., represent the “Red Pill of Black Culture”, but the Red Pill community is adjacent to conspiracy culture across racial lines, since conspiracy theories often have the underlying agenda of preserving the status quo by vilifying progressive movements.
Who is Umar Johnson?
But, who is he? He was born Umar Rashad Ibn Abdullah Johnson (Jermaine Shoemake) on 21 August 1974 to a father named Jamal Abdullah Johnson. Doing a simple Google search of Jamal Abdullah Johnson, I see a Jamal A. Abdullah-Johnson, Appellant,v.William J. Henderson, Postmaster General, United States Postal Service (Allegheny/Mid-Atlantic), Agency.
Umar’s possible father filed a suit against the US Postal Services in 1998 alleging discrimination for his race, religion, and mental health issues. KryeirBut this Mr. Abdullah Johnson was denied. Could this possibly have influenced Umar? Umar in an interview admitted to having a disciplinarian father.
I also found online Jamal Abdullah Johnson who served in the US Marine Corps from 1975 – 1985. Possibly, if this is Umar’s dad, that means his dad enlisted just after he was born and possibly after 10 years, went to work for the Postal Service, likely working there for a long time before he had his lawsuit. So, possibly a Black Nationalist, intense Marine, postal service worker father but had a gripe with the “white man” and government. His marine only served 10 years and not the 20 years required a pension. Also, there’s a chance he also didn’t service his 20 years as a postal worker which would give him a pension.
Yet, Umar’s real name may be Jermaine Shoemake, according to a Facebook post I had found, his name was changed by his father per this post when he was in the 3rd grade while in North Carolina. The idea of changing your child’s name when he’s already at least seven years old insinuates his father was a true believer in the Pan Africanist cause.
Philadelphia has always had issues with race like many Northern cities which emphasize racial/ethnic neighborhoods, yet poverty, crime, drugs, etc. are rampant. From New York, Boston, Philly, D.C., Baltimore, etc.
Philadelphia is where the 1985 Move Bombing happened in which the Philadelphia Police Department dropped C4 on the home on the MOVE organization. MOVE is an Afrocentric, anti-government, and naturalist movement founded in 1972 by US Army veteran Vincent Leapheart, i.e., John Africa. 61 homes were destroyed, 250 homeless, and 6 adults with 5 children were killed.
Umar’s possible father if he was the US Marine left the military in 1985, the same year as the MOVE bombing. So, if Umar was born in 1972 by the time, he was 13 the MOVE bombing happened, but Umar’s father likely got involved in similar Pan Africanist movements earlier in the 1970s. I am sure such as event played a role in the Umar, we see but would have likely influenced his father’s beliefs as well.
On VLADTV, he stated he grew up in North to North-Central Philadelphia. He attended George G. Meade Elementary School in Philadelphia. Per a Facebook post, he also attended at least two other elementary schools in the Philadelphia area such as Hartranft and Duckery Elementary. But he didn’t go to an HBCU, which could’ve been for various reasons, yet there are many HBCUs in the Mid-Atlantic such as Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, Cheyney University of Pennsylvania, Delaware State, Morgan State, Bowie State, Howard, etc. I assume this is because interestingly, Umar may have benefited from some sort of affirmative action or racial scholarship to attempt Millersville.
In the interview, he stated he went to the Scotland School for Veterans Children which I found is near Chambersburg, I Pennsylvania. According to Matthew Christopher (2019) of Abandoned America, “According to a state website, “Founded in 1895, SSVC is the only residential school in the nation specifically designed and accredited to educate and care for the children of Pennsylvania military service veterans.”
This would validate the possible link to Jamal Abdullah Johnson.
In the same VLAD interview, Umar said his goal is to open an all-boys residential school…
When I googled Scotland School for Veterans with the word “abuse” a few articles comes up.
I have said aid this before but Umar as an aspiring Right Wing black authoritarian is a rare example of the “Horseshoe political theory” being true in which contemporary progressive discussions/movements of the Left opened the Pandoras box of fringe Afrocentrism which is ironically ultra conservative (patriarchal, homophobic, etc.) and contradicts reason because it is often in alignment with New Age conspiracy theory/cults.
He has a doctorate in osteopathic medicine which is widely considered pseudo-science using practices such phrenology.
Also, for all of his racial division standpoints, Umar claimed descent from Frederick Douglass (which has been denied by the Douglass estate) yet Frederick Douglass had a white wife despite Umar being so against interracial marriage. So, either Umar is a partial descendant of European ancestry (common among some Black Americans) or he hates (well, per his own theory) his family…for being interracial?
Further, Umar says that a “non-African” can’t be good at things “created by Africans or black people”, but sports like basketball were created…by a white guy. Yet, I am sure Umar’s rebuttal is to simply say…black people invited this or that, etc.
Umar also continues to live in a multi-racial country which is 60%+ white and could leave anytime he wants just as Marcus Garvey – who Umar wants to name a school after – would have advocated for. Umar says he respects Kanye because of his antisemitism (a lazy way of explaining the complex issues affecting the world), but Kanye was married two non-black women.
He says the “Prince of Pan Africanism” (a clear sign of narcissism) but then wants to rep Foundational Black Americans who are theoretically opposed to Pan Africanism since there’s an inherent territorialism to FBAs. For example his xenophobic comments about Daniel Kaluuya.
Further, he plans on opening a school, which in theory is noble but…who will accredit the school especially with a curriculum that could be argued as fostering racial supremacy? Not getting accreditation would make the children’s education be worthless as far as higher education, etc.
Disclaimer: Antisemitism is wrong and counterproductive. This paper is intended to not spread hatred of any kind. This paper is also an extension of the ACSZ (Anglo-American, Continental, Zionist, Saud Network) that I have written about previously. This paper is also not intended to be a promotion of conspiracy theories but rather an analysis of them, juxtaposed against my more grounded theory about the ACZS Network. All I ask, particularly if you are American and into a lot of these conspiracies is to question them. We all are looking for truth but sometimes we scapegoat others instead of seeing how our own beliefs may be a part of the problem. Yet, we have all had regressive thoughts or opinions and it is never too late to grow or change no matter what anyone says.
Part 1
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. interviewed an independent journalist named Whitney Webb. According to Mint Press, “Whitney Webb has been a professional writer, researcher and journalist since 2016. She has written for several websites and, from 2017 to 2020, was a staff writer and senior investigative reporter for MintPress News. She currently writes for her own outlet Unlimited Hangout and contributes to The Last American Vagabond and MintPress News.” [Source: https://www.mintpressnews.com/author/whitney-webb/%5D. She has also contributed to documentaries such as Victoria’s Secret: Angles and Demons. per IMDB, see: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2819249/. According to YouTuber, Patrick Bet David she is now living in Columbia and when I googled searched her a Whitney Fuentes popped up, but that could be a coincidence, but it is possible she got married.
Disclaimer: I do not think she is a racist based on her interviews with comedian Tim Dillon where she did express a concern about Big Pharma’s relationship to often poorer nations in the Global South (and, jokingly, she has a Boondocks comic strip inspired tattoo). Yet, Whitney did at one time collaborate with an actual antisemite Adam Green of Know More News, so she is complicated because in one hand she has great research but due to her former ties, that good research could take on more nefarious means, even if that was not her original intention. Hence, I think she needs to be more vocal about how her research is not antisemitic. However, it would be more interesting to see more legitimate researchers challenge her ideas, not as a means of cancelling or destroying her, but rather to potentially anchor ideas by putting them up against the rigor of intensive peer review, etc.
I find it funny that per her theories that her books are on sale on Amazon led by Jeff Bezos. But, I get it, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism so you got to do what you got to do.
Yet, as RFK Jr., has said antisemitic things, I realized that Whitney Webb was interviewed by him. Whitney does have BitChute and Gab accounts, and ironically the Tree of Life Synagogue shooter was an active participant on Gab.
According to Caroline Linton (2018) of CBS News, “Bowers, who killed 11 people at a Pittsburgh synagogue last week, regularly used Gab to post anti-Semitic content. He frequently railed against the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), a Jewish nonprofit that aids refugees. On the morning of the shooting, he posted “HIAS likes to bring invaders in that kill our people. I can’t sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. Screw your optics, I’m going in.””
But, as stated, I will talk about her further later.
In the meantime, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., got into some hot water for his statements about how COVID-19 was engineered to attack white and black people while sparing Jewish and Chinese people. A totally unhinged take by an aspiring Presidential candidate, yet instead of this being a disqualifier it oddly has created a nexus of support amongst the vast spectrum of American and even non-American conspiracy theorists both left and right wing.
Conspiracy theory culture has always been around. From the Kennedy Assassination to the Warren and Church Commissions, to origin the of Aids, etc. But, in the current millennium the rise of conspiracy culture is a formula of 1) the public mistrust of government under the Bush Cheney regime due to the Iraq War which created many wounded and jaded veterans (2) the economic tensions from the 2008 Wall Street Crash unleashing far right and far left thought, while both have a history with Conspiracy such as the Left’s distrust of COININTELPRO, Red Squads, FBI or police murders of activists, etc. But on the Right Wing you had a John Birch Society paleo-conservatism which pushed New World Order, anti UN, white genocide and arms confiscation beliefs. Around the time Barack Obama’s election, the Right Wing notably on the coattails of the libertarian Tea Party movement unleashed a partially coded radicalized attack on Obama because he potentially represented change not only as the first President of partial black African descent but also open to progressive policies.
Also, Alex Jones InfoWars was popular and this caught the eye later of Roger Stone who absorbed this Conspiracy base into what would be MAGA.
This vast spectrum hovering over, near or within the conspiracy space encompasses New Age ideas, anti-vaccination culture, a distrusts of government institutions such as the CIA or FBI, False Flags operations the Gulf of Tonkin incident where oddly Jim Morrisson’s dad was the commander at the time), “Feds” i.e., government snitches and infiltrators, MKUltra studies (such as over-talked about analysis of Operation Climax), Operation Paperclip scholars, libertarians, utopian socialists, Burning Man and Ayahuasca psychonauts (“mind travelers”), thoughts on the upcoming or currently occurring Fourth Industrial Revolution, Transhumanism, the Rothschilds (which is interesting because no really talks about non Jewish dynastic families such as the Fugger Family), suspicion around Bohemian Grove, the Bilderberg Group, The Gates Foundation, Open Societies Foundation, Aspen Institute, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, Davos, and the World Economic Forum, but…
More nefariously the are believers in everything from Qanon, fluoride-in-the-water making us less intelligent theorists, the Illuminati (where you get bonus points for knowing the name of Adam Weishaupt), Area 51 and UFOs (popularized by Ancient Aliens on the History Channel, a channel owned by A&E Networks, which has been accused of casual racism, and in reality has actual ties to the Defense Information School via its contributor Jonathan Young), Lizard people, Adrenochrome drinking and Interferon collecting elites (where Interferon was talked about by comedian Dick Gregory when he was campaigning to bring attention to the Atlanta Child Murders, yet Dick previously with researcher Robert J. Gordon appeared on Geraldo’s Goodnight America to air the previously unaired Zapruder Film), the Nephilim (i.e., the demonic half children of angels and humans), Dan Brown books such as The DaVinci Code relating to the Knights Templar protecting Jesus sacred bloodline (where Knights Templar aesthetics have been appropriated by the Alt-Right movement of Dues Vult, typically Catholic or Traditionalist Christian in scope, which has overlap with the antisemitic groups called the Groypers and Goyim Defense League that includes white supremacists Nick Fuentes), Antediluvian (Pre-Flood) advanced society myths, Theosophy, the Occult, Neoplatonism, Pan-spermia ideas (that humans were implanted on Earth by extraterrestrial creatures or forces), etc.
By the way if you notice, most of these concepts have been talked about on Joe Rogan at some point or another.
On top of this conspiracy there is also religious fervor and militancy such as Christian doomsday ideology or the belief in the Rapture popularized by the Left Behind books by Tim LaHaye.
The American conscious that is deeply rooted in apocalyptic Protestant Puritanism and Calvinist individualism seems highly susceptible to conspiracy theories because of the concepts of End Times, but also the proselytizing nature of Christianity often gives people a sense or “mission” in evangelizing, i.e., colonizing others. However, all religions are susceptible to conspiracy.
But as far as American Christianity goes and even more importantly than religion outright, the capitalist core of American life has pushed society into postmodernism or into some variant thereof, where postmodernism could loosely be defined as when systems reach an apex and start recycling culture or culture devolves as the quest for generating profits continues while ideas, i.e., culture reach a zenith, thus high art merges with low art, morality becomes subjective, the overload of information makes it hard for individuals to come to consensus of objective truths, anachronisms are re-created to give the appearance of something new, etc.
The system also becomes so advanced that it is hard to distinguish fake from real. [Note: look into the works of Jean Baudrillard]. The best way to really understand post-modernity is to read literature (not Jordan Peterson), such as the works of Don DeLillo, Brett Easton Ellis, Philip K. Dick, and Thomas Pynchon, all of whom I have read at various degrees.
Sure, we have free speech to talk about conspiracies, and many of these concepts (Operation Paperclip, MKUltra, the Kennedy assassinations, etc.) deserve legitimate research, yet how more fringe and fantastical topics are talked about is often used to simply cast doubt about the stability of reality and the congruity of history, therefore encouraging certain people with mental illness and/or preconceived hatreds to double down on their biases and possibly use violence (information as a catalyst for schizophrenia)
But what defines a conspiracy theory as opposed to research? I suppose a conspiracy theory is when you make an allegation but already have the conclusion pre-set and fill in holes of your thesis, often with unsubstantiated claims, to argue for that thesis being correct, while also layering your thesis and conclusion with your personal biases, often bypassing personal accountability (e.g., with the intent to scapegoat another).
Yet, back to RFK, Jr.
Not only did RFK Jr. make a statement that appeals to antisemitism, but also overlaps with the growing paranoia of Chinese influence as it appears the West is prepping for war or conflict with China either over the South China Sea itself, Taiwan, the theft of American trade secrets, the fear of a declining American Empire, and allegations of Chinese investors buying up large swaths of American land allegedly near US military installations (related to the Chinese spy balloon case), etc.
It seems RFK Jr’s goal is to farm the conspiracy vote
To be frank, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is a conspiracy theorist, Alex Jones InfoWar, “moderate” candidate, because deep down underneath his claims are antisemitic beliefs. Yet, he like many has an accurate criticism of US foreign policy disasters. Essentially RFK Jr., is what happens when the “elites” are so out touch, yet, RFK ironically may be establishment overall but is simply catering towards a nexus between Left Wing Anti-War Doves meets Right Wing isolationists, even though he may not actually believe in scaling back American hegemony or empire.
RFK is the Obama Effect, i.e., he promises a sense of hope but really will keep things the same, and I must confess, that I am not a big optimist when it comes to implementing radical change and I do personally believe in “Peace thru strength”.
But, who isn’t a bit of a conspiracy theorist?
RFK Jr., has Baby Boomer Qanon appeal considering his father and uncle were unfortunately assassinated and factions of Qanon believed John F. Kennedy, Jr., would re-appear. Certain conspiracy theorists also blame, of course, Hillary Clinton for JFK Jr.’s death to advance her own career. RFK’s centrist policies appeals to old guard Center Left Democrats and Center Right Republicans, where everyday people in this spectrum might called themselves “moderates” or “Independents”, because his ideas do not seem as “radical” as Progressives or Leftists (e.g., Progressives wanting…universal healthcare, taxing corporations, diverting police funds from weaponry towards mental health or drug rehabilitation, etc.).
But, when it comes to RFK, Jr., sadly because of the deaths in his family, i.e., the alleged Kennedy Curse, Robert seems…paranoid. On the Joe Rogan podcast he has claimed that he will be assassinated which is sure the fear of any public official, but RFK seems to have a type of trauma around it. He’s scared basically. Traumatized. His father was assassinated by a pro-Palestinian man allegedly because of RFJ Sr.’s willingness to arm Israel with fighter jets which would’ve been use on Palestinians.
That’s more of my concern. A paranoid President who won’t be able to function for living in constant fear that he has conditioned himself to live in. This could lead to irrational behaviors (such as what we may be witnessing with figures such as Jordan Peterson) or he may fall into a sense of ennui, clinical depression, etc.
And, I think to myself how RFK, Jr. would run a country if he were so paranoid, even though we are tempted to feel sorry for him because of his losses. RFK Jr. also went on The Hill (owned by Nexstar Media. See my post about Kim Iversen) to speak out against the CIA and his belief that they were involved in his uncle’s death.
It seems his foreign policy is conciliatory towards Russia adopting the anti-west framing of war in Ukraine, where this anti-war framing gaslights “the Left” for supporting Ukraine from Russia. This concept of the Left now “not being the same as they used to be” is unfair because I personally think and feel that the certain liberals or Leftist (certainly not all, notably the Marxist camp who see the war as imperialist) support the war because the alternative is Putin spreading an almost medieval Aleksandr Dugin inspired Orthodox nationalism closer to Central and Western Europe. This would pose a risk to liberal democracies/Republics. [Note: feel free to investigate Aleksandr Dugin’s Fourth Political Theory and the book Russian Nuclear Orthodoxy: Religion, Politics, and Strategy by Dmitry (Dima) Adamsky.

Part 2
First off, I don’t believe criticizing the state of Israel is antisemitic, because protecting Israel from analysis or criticism feeds into antisemitic rhetoric such as Israel having special status, protection, or privileges, especially with the perception of Jewish people in certain positions of power, but also the crisis relating to the Palestinians of Gaza and the West Bank.
However, I do acknowledge that antisemitic conspiracy theories are probably they worst they have been in my lifetime, and it has become more and more popular. I was born in the late 1980s, so by the early 90s, even as a child I was aware of antisemitism especially because of the Oklahoma City Bombing (where there are even theories in spaces online that it was an inside job) but also the Los Angeles Jewish Community Center shooting that occurred in 1999.
However with the internet, things have gotten out of hand, especially with (1) the shadowy life and death of Jeffrey Epstein but also Ghislane Maxwell and her controversial father, Robert Maxwell, who is buried currently in Israel, (2) accusations about billionaire investor George Soros and his Open Society Foundation which has given charity to organizations across the globe, (3) the silencing of academics or critics relating to the State of Israel, which even includes accusations that the Left Wing, not only Right Wing figures, are antisemitic because of their criticism of lobby groups such as the ADL, (4) the NXIVM Scandal which included Claire and Sara Bronfman, who are of Jewish descent, but their father, Edgard Bronfman, Sr., the founder of the Seagram fortune, was the former leader of the World Jewish Congress, (5) the crimes of Hollywood executives such as Harvey Weinstein, which was another blow to Hollywood’s perception because of allegations of child abuse, (6) the slow incorporation of the Anti-Boycott, Divest, and Sanction (BDS) laws into state legislatures where businesses could potentially lose money if they are unwilling to sell to Israel, such as lose of government contracts, etc.
Relating, to Epstein it is my belief that Epstein was of course a criminal mover and pusher within the circles of power, but whomever he was working for decided to expose him because by doing so it would drive the American pubic crazy because they won’t trust anything, and this feeds into the strategy of those who have bad intentions for the US. Or, they exposed Epstein because they knew it would help drive a Right Wing backlash because the intention is to get a Right Wing president in power to will continue to support the corporate-military complexes behind the scenes, yet while on stage being a “hero actor” who will go after the “Deep State” he or she ironically works for. In other words, all of this anti authoritarian conspiracy minded voters will vote for a “American First” patriotic type character who will actually be the despotic leader needed to bring forth A) “singularity”, but B) also prep for war with powers such as China. Qanon, Epstein, the state version of Russia Gate (though, I do believe there were Russian cells in the USA), etc., as far as stories goes, gives the public a sort of anesthetizing game to play. We are all sleuths on the hunt for answers, yet this was intended, to keep us distracted, and/or to convince us to give away our freedoms to supposed saviors who “sill slay our dragons”.
Yet, even though I do not think a good-faith criticism (such as on humanitarian grounds) of Israel is antisemitic, and even with me acknowledging that antisemitism is worst that it has ever been, I do also suspect that, unfortunately, some Jewish people pull their “antisemitic card” as a means of silencing any criticism of Israel (such as Bari Weiss). For example, as previously stated, the Pro-Palestinian movement being labeled inherently as antisemitic. This silencing of criticism seems to create cognitive dissonance,
So, to keep track, (1) I acknowledge that good faith arguments against Israel are not antisemitic, (2) there is a disturbing trend of normalizing antisemitism these days, (3) some Zionist organizations or operators calling everything antisemitic that may not meet their interests, but there is a fourth concept I want to touch. That is… Actual antisemites pretending to be good-faith humanitarian critics of Israel.
This is where Whitney Webb comes in. Even though it seems she falls into the first category, she has been associated with those of the fourth, so there is a level of ambiguity around her intentions. In other words, is Whitney Webb an antisemite hiding under investigative journalists but gaining fame by exploiting our paranoid society where people are looking for logical answers that connect the dots?
Whitney Webb has been platformed by YouTube podcasters such as Patrick Bet-David with this PBD and Valuetainment podcasts. Bet-David is just another figure in the ecosystem of the right-wing leaning spaces of YouTube where most content creators are directly linked or separated by a few degrees of separation. For example, there has been collaboration of some degree or another between the Manosphere space such as the Fresh and Fit Podcast (who has featured figures such as Sneako and Nick Fuentes who are both antisemites), Rollo Tomassi (who had links to Stefan Molyneux), Andrew Tates, and Pearl “Just Pearly Things” Davis (who platformed Nazi Nick Fuentes and wrong about why we can’t talk about the Jews?) with the Comedian space with creators such as Andrew Schulz, Tim Dillon, Graham Elwood, Joe Rogan (who frequently platformed controversial figures ranging from Alex Jones, Gavin McInnes of the Proud Boys, Jordan Peterson, Stefan Molyneaux, the Weinstein Brothers, Sam Harris with his penchant for the Bell Curve, etc.), Whitney Cummings, etc., with the New Age space with figures such as Russell Brand who represents conspiracy spiritualism, i.e., con-spirituality (which overlapped with the anti-vax and all organic food movement, etc.), but with that of the “Bro space”, i.e., the mostly college age, Barstool Sports following, Wall Street Bets redditor, and pro-capitalist camp that includes the PBD Podcasts stated previously, Jake Tran, the Nelk Boys, the Impaulsive Podcast with Logan Paul and Mike Maijak, various cypto and how to be a dividend king training sites, the Alternative Politics space such as The Greyzone, Glenn Greenwald, Katie Halper, Matt Tiabbi, etc., but also of course the Conspiracy Space which was held down by Alex Jones with his InfoWars stream, Jay Dyer (who has talked extensively about Transhumanism, Smart Cities, , to some extend Shuan Attwood, etc.
Figures from these spaces often overlap and collaborate because of the incentive that YouTube’s algorithm gives to content creators who drive massive amounts of traffic, thus enabling more eyeballs to see more advertisements. In other words, successful people from more sensational spaces are likely to drive content, and this volume equates to more wealth for the creators. As a result, you will see the same faces recycling through the various spaces. You can type in any variation and a video will pop up, e.g., PBD with Andrew Schulz, Fresh and Fit with PBD, Alex Jones with Andrew Schulz, Joe Rogan with Alex Jones, the Nelk Boys (who “interviewed” Trump but never asked the hard questions) with Pearl Davis, etc., and something will pop up.
Part 3
Yet, interestingly…Whitney Webb has appeared on the Tim Dillon Podcast (episode 196, 207, 226, 246, and 355) in the Comedian space. In episode 226 around 1:46:55, Whitney talks about Edward Bernays who was a relative of Sigmund Frued and the father of modern marketing. This sounds innocuous but to an antisemite it is another way of saying Jews are manipulating people through media. We also have PBD Podcast in Bro Space (episode 198 and 270), Glenn Beck on an episode titled: How Elites will create a new class of slaves (episode 162) and RFK in the Conspiracy Space make on March 15, 2022, in the Alternative Politics sphere. Also, she was interviewed by Russell Brand of the New Age Space where he has the full interview on Rumble which is often called Right Wing.
Yet, I remember Whitney Webb from something more nefarious.
A podcast called Know More News by Adam Green who is an antisemite whose platform (which was banned from YouTube before setting up shop on Far-Right server BitChute) used to collaborate with Whitney Webb, multiple times. Adam Green (middle name likely Richard) is from the San Diego area and went to Cal State East Bay in Hayward, CA near San Francisco/San Jose/Oakland where he played basketball according to me hearing that in one of his podcasts. He attended Cal State E.B. from 2009 to 2012, earning a degree in Business Administration and worked while in college as a Rental Agent for Monarch Truck Company in Union City, CA for just over a year. According to Cal State E.B. website, an Adam Greene (spelled differently, likely a typo) in 2009 to 2010 was listed as being from San Marcos, CA, which is in San Diego where it seems Adam resided while making Known More News [See: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-green-09843635 and https://eastbaypioneers.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/adam-greene/2343%5D. He had a short stint at ViaSat, which he said he hated, before moving into podcasting where he started exploring topics such Israel, Chabad, etc., but notably what he considers to be Jewish Supremacy. He admitted he was a big Alex Jones fan before he realized in his opinion that Alex Jones was working for a “Zionist Deep State”.
It is hard for me to believe that Whitney did not know about his and those of his frequent collaborator’s beliefs.
I admit that I use to watch it when it was on YouTube because at first, because I thought it was very good information that criticized Trump’s relationship with Israel, how the military complex and Silicon Valley are investing in Israel (Silicon Wadi), understanding crackdowns on the BDS movement, etc. Yet, as time went on Adam Green stated showing his true paranoid “white genocide” theories and then I stopped watching. I even got into argument with him in the discussion session of one of his videos because he was pushing that idea that protestors against police brutality were controlled by George Soros, i.e., in other words washing over the atrocity of police brutality and twisting the conversation to appeal to white fears about being “taken over” or “overrun”, etc.
Adam Green’s core thesis is that Jews via organizations such as the ADL, WJC, Chabad Lubavitch, etc., wants to take over the world because Jews are a supremacist group who based on the idea of Chosen-ness and that they believe other non-Jewish groups (Goyim) have lesser souls since they are not kosher.
He also believes that the Jews will kill or breed white people out of existence such as pushing this idea of the Kaligri Plan by opening borders (which is something pushed by Patrick Bet David when ranting about Soros and the Open Society Foundation on the Flagrant Podcast with Andrew Schulz – even tough Schulz is not antisemitic.)
But this idea of white genocide was also pushed on the Tucker Carlson show on Fox News, which overlaps with the white supremacist allegations of high numbers of white farmer murders in ANC (African National Congress) controlled South Africa for example. He also talked about the “Dancing Israelis” case which is when allegedly a group of Israelis under the cover of a cleaning service where dancing in celebration as the Twin Towers fell because 9/11 was an inside job partially coordinated by Israel and Netanyahu to drag the US into the disastrous Middle East wars which benefited Israel by the US taking out its enemies. These Israelis were investigated by the FBI before deportation.
Adam Green collaborated with people such as Vincent James (i.e., the Red Elephant), Ryan Dawson, Matthew North, Christopher Jon Bjerknes (he has own site at cjbbooks.com), RedIceTV with avowed racist Lana Lokteff, etc., meaning Whitney by proxy was in this circle. Adam Green’s works has also been shared on Stormfront and the Renegade Tribune, the latter being a publication that pushes white genocide theories.
For example in the below video, Adam Green praises Henrik and Lana of RedIce TV. See below:
Christopher Jon Bjerknes was very close with Adam Green, and Christopher to my knowledge has the belief that Christianity was a made-up religion intended to overthrow the Roman Empire because of the Jewish grudge with Rome for occupying the Holy Land. He also believes that Jews use Kabbalistic practices to subvert the West. Yet, per a YouTube video that Mr. Bjerknes uploaded titled: Adam Green of Know More News Plagarizes the Work of Christopher Jon Bjerknes where Mr. Bjerknes accuses Mr. Green of taking his ideas. When it comes to Ryan Dawson, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) wrote a report calling out his allegations that Israel was involved in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Yet, when I got to Mr. Bjerknes website, I see a plethora of seemingly unhinged material that all feeds back into this overall coded antisemitic thesis, with even some videos about RFK, Jr., himself.
According to Green and Bjerknes (well, presumably more from Bjerkens due to his allegations of plagiarism from Green)., the Jewish goal notably thru the Talmudic Chabad, the Sabbatean Franks (followers of Sabbatai Levi and later Jacob Frank. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankism), and the Kabbalah movement, is to build the Third Temple which is required for the Jewish messiah (the Mashiach) to come (in theory). Israel must remove all non-Jews, destroy Al Aqsa Mosque (Dome on the Rock), build Solomons Temple, and take over the world notably exacting revenge on Europeans (understood in this theory to be the descendants of Esau, the hunter, and Brother to Jacob, a scion of Israel).
The US government notably “Kosher Conservatives” and Democrats per this theory are assisting in accelerating Israel’s consolidation of power by taking an indifferent view to the treatment of the Palestinians.
Bjerknes is under the impression that RFK is actually a pawn of Israel (where I am assuming that he believes RFK Jr.’s antisemitism is a tactic to harvest votes from the ever-growing number of Antisemitic believing conspiracy theorists) According to Malachi Haim Hacohen as published on the Cambridge University Press, presumably from Chapter 3 – Ishmael, and Christian Europe: Medieval Edom from his book, titled: Jacob & Esau: Jewish European History Between Nation and Empire it was stated:
To medieval European Jews, Esau and Edom meant Christian and Christendom, and Jacob & Esau evoked the messianic vision of Christendom’s downfall. “Christian Esau” became an enduring Jewish topos. Spanish (Sephardi) Jews thought of the Jewish Diaspora as living “under Edom and Ishmael” – Ishmael was deemed the Arabs’ ancestor – and interpreted the vision of the Four Empires in the Book of Daniel as presaging liberation from Christian and Muslim rule alike. Historically, the Christian–Jewish confrontation was traumatic in ways the Jewish encounter with Islam never was. While the Holy Roman Empire inherited the Roman imperial title, the Crusades shifted the target of Jewish hatred from the Empire to the Church, as the Pope appeared “the king of kings.” With late medieval persecutions, the kabbalistic Zohar literature signaled a shift from triumphal historical eschatology to cosmological tiqun (healing). Jacob & Esau became cosmogonic forces, and the “Kings of Edom” represented a cosmogonic disaster. As Christians became increasingly familiar with rabbinic literature, they polemicized against the Jewish concept of Edom, but late medieval Christian biblical commentary reflected Jewish views of Edom. Medieval Jewish European history appears as a confrontation of intersecting Jewish and Christian cultures, and the Jews left their imprint on Europe even as they were expelled.
In other words, Bjerken’s either believes that either Europeans are in biblical struggle with the Jews or he’s not religious but he’s taking the medieval Jewish view of Europeans as proof of their vendetta with Christian Europeans (while possibly neglecting the fact that medieval Jews were frequent persecuted by Europeans, e.g., the Spanish Inquisition, York Massacre, Rhineland Massacres, etc.). This Esau Edomite notion is someone common in conspiracy culture, yet, the irony is that the location Edom is essentially modern-day southern Jordan or parts of Northwest Saudi Arabia, and Europeans had existed way before the events depicted in the Bible.
Relating to Matthew North, I had actually stumbled upon his work when I was trying to find good faith criticisms of Joe Rogan around maybe 2018, because Joe Rogan seemed to have been purposely platforming Right Wing (i.e., Intellectual Dark Web figures). It seemed the Rogan was using his podcast as a sort of propaganda platform. I stumbled upon Matthew North’s video titled: Joe Rogan Exposed: CIA ELON MUSK, MAPS, ESALEN, MKULTRA-Neuralink BRAVE NEW WORLD IDW.
This video inspired me to write my blog post on Joe Rogan, however, I refute Matthew North’s antisemitic allegations and expanded upon it to develop my inclusive ACZS Network idea to include Jews, Saudi Sunni Muslims, and predominately white Protestant and Catholics of the US, UK, and Continental Europe. My ACZS idea was also inspired by some notes I had picked up from Jay Dyer in his analysis of the Anglo-American (Atlanticist) networks inspired by his reviews of Tragedy and Hope by Carroll Quigly, The Grand Chessboard by Zbigniew Brezinski, etc. Yet, like North, I refuted Dyer’s seemingly Pro-Russian stance, because Dyer like most Western conspiracy theorists or independent journalists often keep the lens on America and not other powers such as the Kremlin. For instance, Dyer I have never heard calling out the Kremlin for assassinations of dissents. Also, Dyer has a very Christian based viewpoint, so he refutes the claims of scientific method, etc. He actually considers science to be an occultic ideology based on neoplatonic ideas. So, despite many good sources and readings by Dyer, I really want nothing to much to do with him.
For example, we rarely hear about the French the General Directorate for External Security, the German Federal Intelligence Service (BND), the Canadian Security Intelligence Services (CSIS), the Italian External Intelligence and Security Agency (AISE), etc. It seems convenient to solely talk about the CIA which could ironically be an expression of American Exceptionalism, i.e., the USA is the center of the universe, and by focusing purely on the CIA, we not only give the USA all the blame but we ignore the possible crimes or undemocratic interventions by other superpowers. Hence, focusing on the CIA could be considered a type of anti-American propaganda feeding into our enemy’s plans, i.e., reducing American soft power, trying to accelerate the dumping of US currency as the reserve banking note of the world, etc.
Below is the video by Matthew North. I repeat, I ignore and disagree with any of his antisemitic remarks, because to me the world is not ran by “Jews” but rather by factions of various groups representing various interest who work in tandem. Note: I do not know Matthew North personally. https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-north-466666181. But, supposedly he committed suicide? If true, regardless of his beliefs, that is unfortunate, yet, Matt despite being smart, did seem a little paranoid, but I have no idea.
Relating to Ryan Dawson, according to the ADL (2010) in their publication, titled: Decade of Deceit: Anti-Semitic 9/11 Conspiracy Theories 10 Years Later, published on August 30, 2011, stated, “Two videos in particular, Missing Links: The Definitive Truth About 9/11, produced by Mike Delaney, and War by Deception, by Ryan Dawson, make virulently anti-Semitic claims about the 9/11 attacks. The two films, both over two hours long, have been viewed by tens of thousands of people despite their length. In “War by Deception,” made originally in 2008 and updated in 2011, Dawson presents the “standard” anti-Semitic conspiratorial view of the 9/11 attacks as a false flag operation carried out by Israel. He lays out one conspiracy theory after another that blame Jews and the Mossad for the 9/11 attacks and for the subsequent war in Iraq. Dawson, who runs an anti neo-conservative forum, paints the Israeli government and Jewish members of the Bush Administration as part of an evil cabal that wanted to control the world. In his narration, Dawson asks “Who is compounding the lies? Who is continuing the narrative? Who has the power to cover it up?” His answer is that the “source of lies” about the 9/11 attacks is “Israeli intelligence and the Zionist cabal.” Like other figures who promote anti-Semitic 9/11 conspiracy theories, Dawson’s views about Israel’s alleged involvement in the 9/11 attacks are linked to his view of Israel as a “brutal apartheid regime.”” (End quote by ADL, 2011)
Adam Green’s ideas were rehashing of the old ZOG (Zionist Occupied Government) idea.
This ZOG conspiracy theory is the same conspiracy theory that led to the Poway Synagogue Shooting perpetrated by John Timothy Earnest on April 29, 2019, and the Tree of Life Pittsburg Synagogue Shooting done on October 27, 2018, by Robert Bowers.
It was complicated. I watched his podcast almost as if I was gathering intel about the topics he was talking about, but also keeping tabs on him in general particularly as he “let the mask off”. In other words, I discovered legitimate concerns about Zionism and its relationship to Trump, Russia, etc., yet, I also become more aware of the threat of white supremacy especially online. My goal is to separate legitimate concerns about Israel, even though I do not hate Israel (it has a right to exist), from conspiracy theories that catered solely toward white racism and victimhood.
Part 4
Whitney Webb has gotten popular with her thesis about how Israel is using entrapment methods to take over or corrupt the US government. Yet, I know that she did not come up with this herself. There was already an existing underground online community researching for non-racist and racist means the relationship of the Zionist lobby to the US government.
The general theory, at least relating to modern America is the Jewish Mob, Zionists, etc., infiltrated the US government via the neoconservative movement particularly that of the McCarthy Era with figures not limited to Roy Cohn, who would later go on to be Donald Trump’s mentor. The idea is that there was always a Zionist plot to take over American to protect Israel and they did this by using sexual entrapment, which is something later that Epstein and the Maxwells were accused of doing himself. There was overlap between the CIA, Mossad, etc.. This all feeds into the upcoming “technological singularity” of a controlled state of smart cities, pre-crime initiatives, mass surveillance, digital money, etc.
The question to me is, is there any truth to any of this?
My answer is yes, there is, but the thing about conspiracy theorist notable relating to the topics I am writing about is that they point ALL THE BLAME of Jews as a means of diverting from the truth that people who are not Jewish have as much if not more power and influence.
It is a silly statement to say that Jews run the world because if they did then why would Israel not have already “taken over” the Middle East according to the conspiracy theory called the “Greater Israel Project”? Why would so many Jews be victims of antisemitic attacks if they ruled all the levers of power?
This is why I developed my separate non-antisemitic concept of the “ACZS” network, i.e., the Anglo-American, Continental, Zionist, and Saud Network as a better and more logical way of describing the power base that runs the Western world. This network is synonymous with a collective of rivals that are often friendly with each other but also compete, i.e., “frenemies”. This network includes mostly white Americans and British elites that are mostly Protestants (for example Ivy League Schools and exclusive prep school leagues such as the Eight Schools Association, that produced many politicians, business leaders, and intel officers, were predominantly founded by Protestant denominations. Note, we’ve only had one Catholic President who was assassinated while all others have been Protestant). Traditionally of the older East Coast Blue Blood stock but later incorporated Wild West industrialists in Big Oil and those of the Pacific Coast in California, i.e., the Cowboy faction.
This network also includes the Continental which is a nickname to represent Europeans who are presented by both Protestant interests notably of Germanic nations but also heavily Catholic interests, and both of these factions are often expressed by European nobility – both high and low (i.e., the ones you rarely hear about but still hold title and land) who have shifted their old power into new means of making money such as private equity via tax-havens such as Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Andorra, Vatican City, etc. They collaborate via old knightly orders, i.e., the Knights of Malta, the Teutonic Knights, etc., which are essentially the old-world equivalent of social clubs and have direct ties to the Papacy. Europe is the base of NATO and therefore was involved with Operation Gladio that has been discussed by many scholars and online amateur content creators.
Then we have the Zionists who are mostly Jewish outright, yet because of Evangelical Christianity in both the United States and England (i.e., British Israelism. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Israelism), there are many non-ethnic Jewish people who support Israel largely because of religion, e.g., the evangelical belief in the Second Coming of Christ, Armageddon, etc. Since Jews have a history of migrating, there is a strong “international” network of collaboration but strongly in the UK and the USA where there was less antisemitism as compared to Continental Europe, e.g., pogroms, the Rhineland Massacres, etc. This group from Israel directly or from Jews abroad (who get citizenship for being Jewish) collaborate, etc., but this group in the United States does have influence over both political parties, yet often sides more so with Right Wing politics ironically because of the militaristic and religious elements that play into Israel’s defense of itself. Then we have the Saudi Royal Family who overseas one of the world largest proven oil reserves. The Saud’s are synonymous with OPEC and a leader amongst the other OPEC nations.
This ACSZ Network includes affiliates such as the Japanese representing the Far Right East traditionally, though South Korea, etc., has gained more prominence as things have heated up against China.
But there are other syndicates such as the Sino-Russian Syndicate who serves as the biggest hedge to the ACSZ and the Sino-Russian’s often reach out to Iran, considering the US has not mended its relationship with Iran (pronounced e-Ran). But the Jews have the ability to move between the Western ACSZ and the Russians in their own syndicate because historically many Ashkenazi Jews descend from Russia and the former Pale Settlement (Belarus, parts of Ukraine and Russia, etc.). This is why in my opinion the MAGA movement of Trump was interesting because figures such as Jared Kushner, who is of the Chabad sect, was attempting to almost unite Russia with the USA where both superpowers could protect Israel (note: Russian is the second most spoken language in Israel). MAGA tried to subvert standard US foreign policy by inviting Russia into the ACSZ Network, yet, it is my belief that Russia wasn’t fully trusted by the Western intelligence community because of Russia’s constant antagonizing of Western strategy, assassinations of journalists (which may allude to more violence amongst actual intel agents), arms dealing to US enemies, obstruction in international bodies such as the United Nations, etc.
Part 5
In conclusion, I do not know what to make of Whitney Webb. She reminds me a little bit of Millennial as opposed to older Gen Xer with Annie Jacobsen, who wrote the book The Pentagon’s Brain: An Uncensored History of DARPA [See: https://www.amazon.com/Pentagons-Brain-Uncensored-Americas-Top-Secret/dp/0316371661]. Yet, she also seems
I am not sure if she antisemitic. I do not consider myself to be even though I was interested in many of the same topics as she is. However, I did not at one point collaborate with a known antisemite, Adam Green, and I also do not have content on sites such as Gab, Rumble, and BitChute which are known for having Far Right, Neo Nazi, and conspiracy-based content.
To me, I find it wise of Whitney to get ahead of this and continue, hopefully, to differentiate between her research and antisemitism. Her history mixed with her current interviewing with RFK, Jr., makes Whitney a bit ambiguous, despite the vast wealth of knowledge she has shared in non-racist spaces such as on the Tim Dillion podcast.
Why are all of these pundits coming from Canada? Seriously…. They’re all Canadian. It’s always the ones you least expect… Jordan Peterson, Steven Crowder, Gavin McInnes, Stefan Molyneux, Nina Kouprianova, Ezra Levant, Laurent Southern, and the movie poster to Canadian Bacon (1995) by Michael Moore
Is the film Canadian Bacon by Michael Moore prophetic? Was it on to something without even realizing it? South Park by Matt Stone and Trey Parker even has its comedic take on Canadians. But, in reality…why are all these Right-Wing pundits…Canadian? Seriously? Have we become so cynical that people who want to do harm to the United States simply have to partake in our cynicism and disbelief? Laugh with us? There was the curious case of Anna Chapman along with nine others back in 2010 who were caught as being Russian spies and were given back to Russia in a spy exchange at an Austrian Airport (Sources: Russia spies plead guilty in US amid swap rumors by the BBC, 8 July 2010; The secrets of Anna Chapman by the BBC, 28 March 2011). We all should know the odd case of Maria Butina in the GOP NRA scandal. The agenda that is most prevalent to me right now, at least a piece of it, is how Right-Wing Canadian pundits that have gained influence in American politics but these people are simply the proxies of an international Zionist cabal spanning MAGA in the USA, the British Right Wing, Israel, and Russia. Trust me… I know that last sentence sounds silly. It will be called that. But I assure you, if you have not heard of people like Lauren Southern, Gavin McInnes, or Stefan Molyneux and their effects on American populism, you are the one who is out of touch. The global phenomenon of the Right Wing revolution isn’t organic but is actually a constructed movement unbeknownst to those who participate (you’re average Trump rally attendee), to build up mobilization for the defense of Israel and to link a newly rebranded traditionalist Russia with the West and USA on conservatism (whiteness).
The film Canadian Bacon I saw as a kid in the mid-nineties, and it did not leave much of an impact. Yet, I am watching it right as I write this. Be warned the film is full of 90s cheese (which is rather enjoyable in the dark times of late 2020) with some grunge music playing by people who are way too old to be listening to it (trying to capture the 90s Fugazi college crowd?), and a black character even drops the 90s phrase, “Can we all just get along”. Yet, brilliantly in satire fashion, akin to that of Don DeLillo’s 1985 book White Noise, Moore uses absurdity and hyperrealism to capture the time immediately after the Fall of the Soviet Union (I was a child) in which the USA was figuring out where to go considering there was no major enemies and the USA throughout the nineties enjoyed relative peace despite defense contractors trying to figure out how to create new revenue streams (sometimes going as far as fraud). It features a ragtag bunch of local cops (John Candy, Rhea Pearlman, Bill Nunn, etc.) who help foil a plot to start a new arms race. The film begins with the closure of a factory owned by a major defense contractor named Hacker Industries in a blue-collar community near Niagara Falls.
The film deals with the conflict of employment in the time of peace considering many US jobs are based within the Military Industrial Complex. The president of Hacker Industries working with a Washington insider, the President’s National Security Advisor Stuart Smiley (played by Kevin Pollack), tries to stir contempt to help boost the arms industry, even though the President (played by Alan Alda) wants peace. However, the President later meets with the Russian President, named Vladimir of course, to reignite Cold War tensions to help boost his popularity and employment numbers. The Russian President jokingly states that Russia is now concerned with state-of-the-art plumbing equipment and America should not be sore winners. The Cold War was costly to Russia. Later on after their plan to reignite war with Russia falls through, General Dick Panzer (played by Rip Torn) while conducting a briefing in the war-room (alluding to the Dr. Strangelove war room) goes through a list of enemies spanning Mao Zedong, Ho Chi Min, and even floats the ideas of an alien invasion. The President floats the idea of international terrorism (an ominous reference considering the Council of National Policy in real life was prepping for the Global War on Terrorism, and other Hollywood films, like True Lies, foreshadowed the emphasis on the Middle East) but Rip Thorn states that terrorist are just a bunch of people blowing themselves up in rental cars. The President then floats the idea of Canada.
The President’s National Security Advisor later consults a veteran CIA agent named Gus (who is still salty about the Cuban Missile Crisis and Korean War) who argues that Canada is the enemy. While strolling a hallway to talk in private, a hallway adorned with photos such as that of Henry Kissinger, Gus and Stuart have a conversation: “You remember the big New York blackout?” “Yea” “Caused by a Canadian hydroelectric plant, Niagara Falls. The Canucks claims it was a faulty transmitter, we have reason to suspect otherwise…” “Why is that?” “These Canadians suffer from a serious inferiority complex. That’s why they built this (whipping out a photo of the Canadian National Tower). World’s tallest free-standing tower. Our scientist cannot figure out what it is for. Canadians are always dreaming up a lot of ways to ruin our lives. The metric system, Celsius, Neil Young…Jesus. We admired them… Clean streets, no crime, no minorities” “How’d they pull that?” “No slavery…. Their entire government is run by socialist” “But it’s not the real stuff”, Stuart responds, before Gus continues, “No no no…that is where you are wrong…they’ve always had these tendencies”. Stuart reads a newspaper cutout, “Capitalism must be destroyed in all its forms? What is this??”, before Gus interjects, “We think they are a little weird with the socialism stuff… They provide free healthcare, education…. free condoms!”. Later, back at the war council room, the President and his staff float the idea of labeling Canada an enemy. One advisor, an African American man, states, “Hell, they’re whiter than we are!”. Yet, the President agrees to manufacture consent against the Canadians, later slipping the story to the media who starts their campaign of muckraking, Charlie Rose-like panel discussions, CSPAN knockoff updates, etc.
Gus later appears with a CIA team posing as Canadians to blow up a power-plant, but the power station is of course being guarded by John Candy and his crew. The event goes viral and causes the American public to believe the elaborate rouse even more.
A funny line so far is when a character, Kabral Jabar, played by Bill Nunn, while attending an auction of surplus military gear of a recently closed plant owned by Hacker Dynamics (maybe a ploy on General Dynamics, though the logo does reflect Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, etc.), says, “Listen, can we get out of here? All these guns and white people have me feeling nervous”, but John Candy playing Sheriff Bud Boomer, says, “Can you knock it off with the white stuff. You got me looking at em funny”. The fact Michael Moore gave Candy’s character the surname of Boomer obviously alludes to the Baby Boomers but considering this was the nineteen-nineties the term Boomer wasn’t used then as it is now, e.g., a term meant to prove the Baby Boomer’s general sense of selfishness and ambivalence to everything while simultaneously having the need for authority such as surface level politics, cops, simplistic dynamics of good guys versus bad buys, religion, etc.
But the plot of Canadian Bacon aside… There is something sinister coming from Canada in our reality.
The next stuff is serious. I am not…joking.
Canada used to send us quirky comedians. People who came from a higher latitude of the English speaking realm that we assumed had a natural predilection for left-wing, center-left, or moderate politics – granted they do have an important rural heritage as well – considering their single-payer healthcare system, the general perception of cleanliness, a general acceptance of cosmopolitanism, bilingualism, the fact that most of their population centers around urban areas doting the various provinces, and unlike Americans, the Canadians kept closer to their British roots which in itself is seen as more well-read, artistic, capable of understanding the “abstract”, and parliamentarian in nature. The Canadians or Canadiens are our slightly smarter younger sibling who stayed closer to our “parents” as we rebelled to be free but ended up like David Hasselhoff eating a cheeseburger off the floor in a drunken stupor or a film like Robocop makes so much sense it deserves a statue in Detroit.
Americas always saw Canada as the better place to the North with its own unique quirks. Nasally accents and using words like gee, or an over usage oh, or phases like don’t ya know. Something innocent about it. Yet, in recent times, especially in the times that led up to Trump America, I must admit that things have changed about Canada’s export of entertainers. They are all Right-Wingers and often extreme Right-Wingers. This isn’t the era of Jim Carey, John Candy, Mike Myers, Catherine O’Hara, Eugene Levy, etc., but rather we got a ragtag incendiary bunch comprising Steven Crowder, Lauren Southern, Gavin McInnes, Jordan B. Peterson, Nina Kouprianova (Richard B. Spencer’s allegedly – I believe her – abused ex-wife), Stefan Molyneux, and Ezra Levant (a Jewish-Canadian Right Wing Zionist) with his “Breitbart of Canada” media outlet in Rebel Media (an outlet that has hosted controversial figures such as Alex Jones and was linked to helping organize the United the Right Rally in Charlottesville, VA). I am sorry but Ezra Levant looks a lot like the main character from the Cohen Brother’s A Serious Man. Just saying. Is the United States being invaded by Canada? It sounds funny, it sounds like a movie-plot straight out of South Park or Canadian Bacon, but I am not joking even though it is amusing but…not. It is quite easy to do. We in the United States scrutinize people from South of the Border but is the same treatment given to those North of the border, and if not, gee I wonder why?
How clever of an idea when you think about it. Culturally similar nations with a predominately white population which can at times be reactionary to change, in right-wing politics at least, especially that which challenges the notions of conscious and subconscious supremacy (immigration, gender equality, people of color in lead roles, etc.). If the United States were to be invaded, sure, it could come from South of the Border with Mexico, or be from some shadowy terrorist cell, but we often don’t see Canada in the same light, even though the chances of espionage or infiltration is much higher with our Canadian sibling. It is not the Canadian government that is the issue, but rather non-state actors who are betrothed to a well-funded religious-political agenda that spans the United States, U.K. and Commonwealth, Israel, and Russia. More to come on this later.
Gavin McInnes, formerly of Canadian media outlet Vice Media (which interestingly has links to the Manhattan Institute founded by former CIA head, William Casey, via Vice’s former correspondent, Raihan Salam and this institute also has ties to PayPal founder, Peter Thiel – an ardent Trump supporter and owner of the infamous IT firm, Palantir), represents the Oi! Oi! Right Wing takeover of the British late-seventies punk scene and he uses the prevalence of political correctness, “wokeness”, and the elevation of marginalized groups to turn conservatism into “punk” against the mainstream. McInnes created the Proud Boys harkening back to the right-wing street thugs of the National Front in Margaret Thatcher’s right-wing 1980s England. The Proud Boys, supposedly started as a joke by McInnes, despite being known in the public sphere for years were elevated even further in Trump’s debate against Biden in which Trump stated, “Stand back and stand by” when asked about if Trump would denounce white supremacy, specifically when asked about the Proud Boys. The Proud Boys employ a strategy of surface level silliness to divert attention away from their chauvinistic West is the Best ideology. The Proud Boys require a beat-down initiation in which a man must read off as many as ten breakfast cereals while getting beat up. It seems childish and borderline like suppressed homoeroticism (considering McInnes has made-out with Milo Yiannopoulos) or MGTOW behavior (Men Gone Their Own Way) especially with the prevalence of nude male Greek statues representing logos within the Alt-right sphere of thought. The Proud Boys are a sausage fest of angry males who need identity. This playful silliness is not just common to the Proud Boys who have documented cases of using violence, but also Boogaloo, who took that name from a nineteen-eighties pop cultural reference, who gained notoriety when US Air Force Sergeant Steven Carrillo was indicted for the murder of two deputies in North California in 2020 using the Black Lives Matter protests as cover and a means of inciting a race war.
Lauren Southern and Nina Kouprianova with their “fraulein” looks aer the anti-feminists who represents femininity’s subservience to masculinity yet are outspoken in favor for militaristic masculinity protecting the “race” – a notion notable in the Right Wing [Note: Nina Kouprianova has been interviewed by vlogger, Jay Dyer, who converted to Orthodox Christianity, i.e., the main religion of Russia, and most of his work are directed at the United States and not at the current events happening in Russia. Dyer to me seems to have an affinity with “people groups”, i.e., differences as being ordain in his words by God). Lauren Southern not only went to South Africa to show a biased view of the racial situation in South Africa such as proliferating the white farmer murders (something Trump has tweeted about) but she has also flown to Russia to interview Alt-Right Anti-American intellectual Aleksandr Dugin.
Jordan B. Peterson and Stefan Molyneux represent an intellectual basis for Darwinism with concepts like “fitness”, “Bell Curves”, the strongest survives, etc., which are notable tropes of the Right Wing even though it hides in high-brow discussions of capitalism, intelligence, systems theories, i.e., alluding to the natural tendency to form social hierarchies which in and of itself insinuates a rejection of egalitarianism, etc. Steven Crowder represents the “bro” of the bunch. A frat boy beer drinking mentality which tries to out masculine you and harkens back to the days where the white male viewpoint of reality, including criticisms of others, dominated the landscape.
The fact that many are comedians helps deliver their messages into the public because they can simply state, “I’m just telling a joke”, so there is a level of solipsism and postmodernism in their tactics, where postmodernism comes into the mix because of the prevalence of memes, vlogs, and conspiracy theories/”true history” videos spanning or touching upon Indo-European studies (a gateway into Aryan studies such as the videos created by British Alt-Right vlogger, Survive the Jive), rejection of peer-reviewed and intensive studies such as the Out of Africa Theory in exchange for fringe theories such as Hyperborea, aliens (where aliens only seem to help people of color and not Europeans), etc., in the digital landscape. Postmodernism simply put (if it can be) is when the world has no reference of what the truth actually is, so truth is utterly subjective and an existential process, and the notion of objective truths or grand-narratives are false. Postmodernism was first a reaction to the atrocities of the right-wing after World War II, but now it seems like it’s being cleverly used by conservatives to deconstruct the new accepted truths of modern human rights, diversity, gender equality, etc. These types of individuals in the right-wing sphere in which I am speaking of broaden their base by being elevated on even more popular outlets such as the Joe Rogan Experience. Yet, whenever this side is called out, they can default to victim status by making it appear those who are fed up with traditionalism, patriarchy, racism, etc., are in effect nothing more than “commies”, “fascists”, “Marxist radicals” or “Social Justice Warriors” who are simply shaming white boys and women who love them. To stir this atmosphere of them being the oppressed or muzzled victims, any time a person is de-platformed they cry fascism, even though their very own ideology is the basis of fascism. They are playing games is where I am getting at. Using amorphisms and ambiguity to Trojan Horse their regressive ideology into the mainstream.
I’ve said this before but we truly live in the era of the Postmodern Conservative who uses deception tactics to de-evolve the modern liberal state back into a conservative homogenous state, but it claims to detest postmodernism in the vein of people like Pat Buchanan who popularized “Cultural Marxism”, despite utilizing postmodernism (asymmetric, shapeshifting, “what is truth?” – tactics, etc.) as a tool for its own agenda. Ironically, Donald Trump himself could be compared to Max Headroom, a Canadian character of a former Canadian TV show, where Max Headroom is a digital avatar and Trump in effect is the same with his use of the online arena to bypass the political process and stir up conspiracy theories to protect himself. The right-wing conspiracy culture that led up to Trump was the clay which gave us a Golem like Trump. Interestingly, certain portions of the Alt-Right, those more in line with the quasi-Nazi Occult elements, have even stated that they are using “magic” or magick when they troll online, i.e., they are willing their wants into existence using meme warfare.
In relation to the Russian elements regarding my “Canadian Cabal” theory, 541,810 people in 2016 claimed Ukrainian descent, there were 622,445 people in 2016 who claim Russian or partial Russian descent in Canada, and in 2016 about 20,710 people claimed Belarusian descent in Canada. In 2016, Canada had a population over 35 million (compared to the United States with is around 300+ million). The number of people of Eastern European descent might not stand out as being significant, but for a much smaller nation than the USA, the amount of cultural influence cannot be calculated. As far as cultural influence all it takes is one person or a few to gain a large audience to disseminate and proliferate messages. Further, it’s much easier to “fit in” with their American counterparts, especially those in the Right-Wing, which is an arena spanning household “normal” center-Right politics all the way to fringe Nazism, the John Birch Society, the Tea Party Movement, Christian Extremists, Traditionalist Mormons who practice polygamy, Qanon, the Rise Above Movement, Boogaloo (which resulted in the murders of two law officers where the assailant wrote Boogaloo in blood at a crime scene – yet, our media unfairly characterizes the Black Lives Matter movement as terrorists), the Right Wing occult (Order of Nine Angels, Atomwaffen SS, etc.), race realists, etc.
I am not saying espionage is happening from the Canadian government necessarily since they are US allies, but rather individual actors have the ability to infiltrate and change the culture of the United States by appealing to a sense of sameness. The United States could clamp down on these individual actors if they wanted to such as scrutinizing their visa status, look to see if they’re paying taxes, etc., but considering it is Trump America and he needs these people, it seems the Department of Justice is more concerned with a Hoover like condemnation of the left than it is protecting the USA from actual domestic and international agents who just so happen to be “good ole white boys”.
Most of the people I named are conservative and they speak on American politics more than they do Canadian politics. Is this not strange? Do American conservatives even call them out on this? No. Why? Because the white conservative base of America is so lost in fear than they will take anyone that looks like them and tells them exactly what they want to hear. This fear has created not only a business opportunity for entertainers but also a world-shifting opportunity for influencers who are attached to the agendas of larger and shadowy organizations, which I feel links to the controversies surrounding Trump. Most of these pundits are Trump supporters, even if they cannot vote in American elections. These pundits to me are in the web that spans Russia-gate (Israeli-Russian Gate), Trump, the Alt Right, and the US-UK & Israeli Zionist connection.
So, let me explain my beliefs based on that last statement I made. Russia was not alone in influencing the 2016 election, but rather Israel had the technological means and cultural connections within the United States to help sway the election in favor for Trump. For example, the Republican Jewish Coalition with people like Eliot Brody brought up in the Mueller investigation. Israel was displeased with the Obama Administration for abstaining on a United Nation’s vote over Israeli settlements on disputed Palestinian lands. This abstain vote by Obama resulted in a toxic backlash against his administration especially in the Israeli press and thinking that Hillary would follow suit with the Obama Administration’s policy (and that of previous American administrations who preferred to broker peace between Israel and Palestine), the Israeli lobby backed Trump, despite saving face and managing relations on both side of the political spectrum, particularly by denouncing antisemitism even though many people on the right are Jewish. So, in order to get the majority of the USA, which is white, to back Trump, the US Zionist and Israeli lobby spanning politics, media, alternative media (podcasting such as Ben Shapiro, Alex Jones, even Joe Rogan during his phase of platforming Alt-Right guests), Wall Street, and Washington insiders, effectively created and elevated the Alt-Right. This strategy has in part helped to metastasize into movements such as Qanon, which might still seem harmless to the average American, but people running for Congressional seats are openly pushing Qanon, Islamophobia, Pizzagate, and “Holly-Weird” theories. It could be argued that Qanon is a cult but a cult for the internet age and it preys on the vulnerabilities of those in conservative politics. Qanon has a Zionist undertone to it, which therefore not only feeds into a support of Israel but also Western conservatism. It sounds strange by Qanon could be what helps turn the United States into something akin to the Handmaid’s Tale. A radical religious reactionary state where the courts are run by Noahide worshiping judges. Noahide is a form of Jewish proselytizing to non-Jews in which non-Jews are encouraged to worship the Jews as the Chosen people and to follow the Noahide Laws issued by Jewish clerics.
This reactionary Right Wing (predominately white) movement is filled with the fringe of conservatism (as we saw at Charlottesville) and is protecting Israel even if many of the people in this arena are not cognizant of it. I say this because many people in this arena have antisemitic beliefs but even antisemitic beliefs can be used by Zionist to increase their power. For example, appealing to a Christian Crusader “Dues Vult” mentality in defense of the Holy Land is essentially getting WASP Christians with Punisher skull tattoos, subscriptions to Soldier of Fortune, and a habit of dropping N-bombs while playing Call of Duty, to defend Israel, but these people must be convinced that they still are the majority, in supremacy, or are in jeopardy of being replaced. Basically, certain factions of the Zionist lobby are willing to fund Nazis as a diversion to what they’re doing but also to build a “street team” for Trump, but really Trump is an ally of Israel who will do what they want which can be seen in Trump naming Jerusalem the capital of Israel, landmarks being named after Donald Trump, the annexation of the Golan Heights in the wake of the Syrian War, leaving the United Nations Human Rights Commission, and leaving ambiguity around the contested Dome on the Rock between Jews and Muslims (which is where the Kusher relationship with the Saudis comes into play since the Saudis are the landlords or trustees of the property).
All these Right-Wing Canadians will shame minorities, the LGBTQ community, welfare, etc., but you notice they never talk about Jews. It is not that I want them to, but rather, they are all Zionists or tied to some sort of Zionist organization. They are the cover for the Zionist lobby simply put there to mobilize the majority that leans right into doing that lobby’s bidding. The marriage between White Supremacy and Jewish Zionism is not new and can trace roots in part back to the United Kingdom in the nineteenth century where there were British movements such as British Israelism where white Britons felt they were the chosen people in order to justify the British Empire. This grand origin story mythology is common among most empires or aspiring empires such as the Nazis trying to trace roots to Central Asia or India largely because they simply wanted that land, or even to the United States with notions like Manifest Destiny. Religions such as Mormonism were created during Manifest Destiny and used Zionist undertones to demonize Native Americans so they could take their land and bolster their own credibility (I do not hate modern, every day, and normal Mormons by the way).
The British elite establishment and the Jews who became prominent in the United Kingdom created a symbiotic relationship, and many prominent imperial administrators were Jewish such as Benjamin Disraeli, and, yes, the Rothchild Dynasty (responsible for helping acquire the Suez Canal, raising capital against Napoleon, treasurers of the Bank of England, etc.).
This symbiotic relationship or marriage of “mafias” resulted in the basis for the establishment of Israel in which the British helped the Jews acquire Palestine after World War I when King George defeated his cousin, Kaiser Wilhelm’s, allies in the Ottoman Turks who owned the area. Further, even though it is debatable, King George and the British Establishment with the help of American financiers, may have supported the Bolsheviks in order to overthrow the Czar of Russia in order to obtain the lucrative oil fields of the Caucuses. This symbiotic relationship surrounding being “Chosen”, i.e., supremacy, bled into the United States and Commonwealth nations thus influencing the treatment of the indigenous First Peoples and people of color in these regions (such as African-Americans with slavery which was argued with a misinterpretation of the Bible such as the Mark of Cain, Aborigines, Indians of the Asian Subcontinent, Africans in colonial Africa, etc.). The Rothchild’s did fund Cecil Rhodes’ DeBeer Diamonds in Africa and it is well known Rhodes was a Mason and racist, where Masonry in itself, at least that of the English realm has Judeo-Christian undertones.
Manifest Destiny in the United States was simply White Zionism similarly to how the British Empire was White Zionism, but the Zionism aspect is what links them to the Jews, even though these factions at times are in conflict (Waspy elitism of the Anglo-American establishment or the condescending tones that some Jews have of gentiles), but their working relationship as far as global control outweighs the negatives. In effect, these two groups of white Gentiles and white Jews can effectively merge with each other and have time and time again throughout history, even within some old European noble families such as Sophie von Hohenlohe (who spied for the Nazis) or Prince Rupert Lowenstein (the Rolling Stones former manager). Even though the common average white person or Jewish person might not mix as much, when you get to the upper echelons of power, then what’s ethnicity when all that matter is money?
It is my personal belief that all the weird events that happened from 2016 to 2020 in the present were simply this cabal coming to light for the first time to most Americans. The curtains had fallen and the system went into clean-up trying to get ahead of stories by pretending they were actually covering the stories in full, even though they were simply doing what a street hustler does when they play a “shell game”, i.e., moving around cups with a ball underneath it and making people wage money on where the ball actually is (sometimes the ball being taken away with a contraption so no one wins). For example, the Bronfman Clan of NXVIUM with their ties to the United Nations (via Sara Bronfman’s husband Basit Igtet who negotiated a peace deal in Libya after Hillary’s Benghazi situation), Edgar Senior’s ties to the World Jewish Coalition (where he advocated for improved Russian and Israeli relations) and Edgar Junior’s ties to the music industry; Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s ties to the British Royal Family and even the Iranian Contra era with characters spanning William Barr as a CIA operative around Reagan’s White House, John Kerry as a blue-blood old money Senator, Robert Mueller (classmate of Kerry) as a young investigator who worked on Iran Contra, Judge Robert Morgenthau (a relative to the Bronfman Clan), Adnan Khashoggi (uncle to killed journalist Jamal Khashoggi and Princess Diana’s lover, Dodi Fayed), the Clintons and the Trumps. This is deep stuff.
The Israeli lobby, at least that led by Benjamin Netanyahu (he does face opposition in Israel) and his allies in the USA and English speaking Commonwealth (various non-profits, social clubs, etc.), understand that hiding behind hyper-Republicanism of the majority in the United States is the best way to keep the light off of them and since Right-Wing politics are often Christian or Judeo-Christian in nature, this religious crux is a helpful variable that increases the power of this strategy. They can appeal to sense of Revelations, Armageddon, Holy War against Muslims, etc.
Ok, so keep all that in mind, but what about Russia? The truth is that Russia and Israel are closer than what most Americans realize. In the Cold War, the United States utilized Christianity and Zionism as a means of psychological warfare to differentiate ourselves from the godless Soviets. The truth is many Israelis and American/Canadian Jews, or Jews of the Commonwealth are of Eastern European “Pale Settlement” or Russian Jewish descent. Prominent Canadian billionaire, Edgar Bronfman Sr., of the Seagram’s Dynasty, is the father of Claire and Sara Bronfman (incriminated in the NXVIUM scandal), younger brother to Phyllis Lambert (who bailed Ira Einhorn, the Unicorn Killer, out of jail before he pulled a Roman Polanski and fled the USA), and father to Edgar Junior (music mogul with links to Jeffrey Epstein), was the president of the World Jewish Coalition (WJC) and promoted Russian emigration to Israel. Edgar Bronfman, Sr., who was a racist (disapproving his son’s marriage to an African American woman, foreshadowing to me the racist rant of LA Clipper’s owner Donald Sterling), advocated for increasing Israeli and Russian ties. Israel is the crux between the USA/West and the East typified in Russia, and Israel can leverage those multi-national bonds to its favor if the policy of one deviate away from Israel’s own ambitions (consolidating its borders to that of the Kingdom of David and bring forth their messiah, the Mashiach). As an analogy, Israel has positioned itself to the be the woman that two powerful suitors are courting and play them off each other, even though the future of this strategy is for all to…share Israel or Israel to control both, as the Russians and the Americans by way of the Republicans (the party you would least expect) try to join forces. A White Zionist alliance where the Israelis are the heart of the operation.
So, in 2016, Russia did have a major reason to favor the election of Donald Trump considering the sanctions they faced due to their invasion of Crimea and their tendency to generally annoy the United States by them conducting a “parallel policy” to the USA, e.g., if the USA has issue with Venezuela or Syria, then Russia steps in to show they are friends to these nations in the face of “American Imperialism”. Trump had done business in Russia, ex-Soviets turned businessmen had conducted business out Trump’s properties, Trump has links to many ex-Soviets in one way or another (Tevfik Arif, Tamir Sapir, Lev Leviev, etc.), many people in his cabinet had ties to Russia such as Rexx Tillerson for Exxon Mobil, Michael Flynn was called into suspicion, Rand Paul delivered correspondence to Moscow for Trump, and Mitch McConnell and other prominent Republicans have ties to Leonard Blvatnik etc.
The fact that Melania Trump is of Slovenian descent and Trump’s first wife, Ivana Trump, is of Czech descent, both former Soviet nations (which in and of itself is not a problem, i.e., they shouldn’t be shamed for this), I could imagine Donald Trump has a large following in former Soviet States as far as the media, tabloids, and news. Nations such as Hungary, Austria, Germany even (especially in the former Soviet Eastern part of the country which is under-developed in relation to the Western part of the nation), etc., has seen a rise in Right-Wing populist politics emulating the success of Donald Trump, and Russia sees this Right-Wing Revolution as good since they have ditched the Soviet style and in exchange are marketing themselves as Orthodox traditionalists against the depravity of liberal democracies, modernity, secularism, human rights, etc. This Right-Wing revolution in Eastern Europe which benefits Russia in its “rebranding campaign” can weaken the primacy of the United States by threatening NATO and calling into question the usefulness of the United Nations (the United Nations has always been a target of Right-Wing organizations such as the John Birch Society which helped coin concepts such as a one-world government. Interesting fact is that the Neo-Nazis in America trace roots back to an internal conflict within the John Birch Society in which a Revilo P. Oliver left the organization because he claimed the JBS was becoming too Jewish, which, even though I reject Nazism and white supremacy, he may have had a point considering post-war Neo-conservatism had many notable Jews such as Henry Kissinger, Barry Goldwater, Milton Friedman, etc.).
In conclusion, Canada is awesome. It is still seen as an example of a modern and developed nation that fosters diversity, education, public investments, and a rational well-balanced foreign policy. Yet, all of that aside, many Right-Wing pundits are coming from Canada. This to me is no coincidence but rather proof of a larger cabal using these low-level actors, podcasters, and vloggers, to infiltrate the United States political arena by appealing to a sense of sameness and being the “online street team” for Trump. The question is will American conservatives start to call it out, or are they so enthralled with the insanity of Trumpism, that they will take support from any source no matter how nefarious it truly is?
American soldiers fighting for colonial conquest in the Philippines in the early twentieth century from the Library of Congress. This paper goes into detail about how the Las Vegas Shooter’s Filipino connection unveiled – either directly or coincidentally – a real past and present involving black market and government sanctioned gun-trafficking; paramilitary operations regarding the Global War on Terrorism; sex trafficking, and psychological operations.
Abstract: The Las Vegas Shooter had wired money to The Philippines before he conducted one of the largest, if not the largest, mass shooting in modern US history. However, the legacy media isn’t doing as good of a job that it can when it comes to linking dots relating to the island nation of The Philippines. The Philippines has a brutal history of colonization but is also an important regional hub for American defense policy. The island is also notorious for human trafficking and has played a major role in American “Hearts and Minds” psychological operations with revelations regarding the MKUltra Project.
The Las Vegas Shooting unveiled a real-world struggle where the Philippines is in the cross-hairs. FBI, ATF, Homeland Security, DOJ regarding guns; DOD regarding counter-terrorism; a Jihadist cell in which the now deceased founder was technically on the side of the US during the Soviet-Afghan War; Chabad missionaries and increased US and Israeli cooperation.

1. Trump and The Philippines: After the events of the Las Vegas Shooting which occurred on October 1, 2017 it did not seem as if the mainstream media or even the alternative media were digging into the Filipino connection regarding the massacre. The simple fact that Marilou Danley is from the Philippines and was involved in events surrounding the shooting, seems that more questions regarding the Philippines would have arisen. Shortly after the Las Vegas shooting, President Donald Trump visited The Philippines to discuss security and drug enforcement with President Rodrigo Duterte, whom, according to Reuters (2017), “Duterte is known for his often profanity-laden tirades against the United States, chiding Washington for treating the Philippines “like a dog,” despite the two nations’ longstanding relationship. The Philippines’ leader announced his “separation” from the United States during a visit to Beijing a year ago, declaring he had realigned with China as the two agreed to resolve their South China Sea dispute through talks.”
However, in an official press release from The White House regarding Trump and Philippines and his trip to the island nation, it was stated the vast scope of US taxpayer money going to the Philippines.
There was $85 million in counterterrorism-related equipment, training, and support to the armed forces of the Philippines; President Trump announced an additional $14.3 million for the community of Marawi City to address the humanitarian needs of 360,000 displaced persons; the two leaders noted that the United States has provided approximately $65 million to enhance the Philippines’ maritime security capabilities; President Trump announced $2 million to support drug demand reduction programs in the Philippines, and President Duterte thanked President Trump for the delivery of more than $1 billion in United States foreign assistance to the Philippines over the past eight years (White House.gov, 2017).
Further, there’s gambling and casino links between the Vegas and the Philippines. Donald Trump has a Trump Tower Manila. Trump is also very popular in the Philippines.
Higgeibottom (2019) states, “As once-close allies show dismay at Trump’s presidency, the Philippines has held true. In fact, according to a 2018 Pew Research Center poll of 25 nations… Donald Trump is trusted by 78% of Filipinos – a higher proportion than any other country. That means Filipinos trust the U.S. president more than Americans do. Only 55 percent of Americans this year said they had a “great deal” or “fair amount” of trust and confidence in their leaders, according to Gallup. And that’s at a 10-year high. Meanwhile, 69 percent of Israelis, 28 percent of Britons and only 9 percent of French people had confidence in the U.S. president, according to Pew’s report.”
Yet, Higginbottom (2019) does state, “Trump doesn’t get all the diplomatic credit here. Filipinos have long looked on their former colonizers favorably. Richard Heydarian, author of The Rise of Duterte: A Populist Revolt Against Elite Democracy, sees it as a sort of “”collective amnesia” from a bloody past with Americans.” Lastly, Higginbottom (2019) states, “But after the U.S. foiled the revolution, it governed with a relatively soft hand compared to the Spanish. The U.S. left — in relative terms, of course — possibly the most “benign imperial legacy in Asia,” explains Heydarian. Educational opportunities increased with American-funded programs. And the country was protected militarily from others in the region. “The U.S. is broadly seen as a knight in shining armor” to Filipinos, Heydarian says.”
I believe the Las Vegas shooting inadvertently unveiled a larger “deep-state” struggle regarding the importance of the Philippines to the USA where legal and illegal gun sales are common. Where the state and black-markets (including the illegal sex industry and gambling) meet in overt and covert operations to balance power in The Philippines. The fact that Jihadist terror is a real thing on the island nation means the USA has justification for a presence there in a kind of “you need us” mentality, but this justification is part of a larger DOD strategy regarding China. Controlling and co-opting black markets is vital for the intelligence, and there’s a chance that the Las Vegas shooter, or at least his girlfriend were somehow connected, even if they were low hanging fruit.
2. A History of Gun Smuggling: There’s an extensive history regarding arms trafficking between the United States and the Philippines, but there’s evidence of arms dealing revolving around Reno and Las Vegas, Nevada, thus bringing the Las Vegas Shooting into mind.
In a New York Times archive piece from the Cold War, Gerth (1985) states, “George A. Rodriguez, an official with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms who until recently headed its program to combat international trafficking in arms, said: ”The recent trend is an increase in international arms trafficking to the Philippines. It involves Filipinos in the United States, in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Reno, Las Vegas and Chicago.””
The article by Gerth (1985) details how the Philippines at that time saw a rise in private armies under President Ferdinand E. Marcos and mentioned an American official who stated he wanted to remain unidentified. The unnamed American official stated the private armies were being trained in special warfare tactics. The article by Gerth (1985) also references James A. Kelly, who served under Ronald Reagan’s anti-communism presidency as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs (East Asia and Pacific.).
Kelly was concerned of the role that private armies would play in the country’s stability having feared coups and turf wars. George A. Rodriguez, in the article by Gerth (1985), stated, “”Some of it is random, but several of the investigations involve money people. One of the guys getting guns is a leading industrialist in the Philippines who is very close to Marcos.”
“Philippine military officers are
also reported to be implicated. A Justice Department official said
American-based Filipinos were involved in smuggling M-16’s to Philippine
military officials.” (Gerth, 1985).
“A Filipino businessman in
California said he had been asked by a member of the President’s palace guard
to send guns to Manila hidden in a golf bag. The businessman, who asked not to
be identified, also said a Philippine military official had used a private
detective agency in the United States as a front to buy guns legitimately.”
(Gerth, 1985).
In 2011 or 2012, the Justice Department issued a press release, 12-027, under its Criminal Division Component, stating that three Filipino nationals were arrested for trafficking assault rifles into the United States.
According to the United States Justice Department (2014), “Three Philippine nationals have been arrested on charges of violating the Arms Export Control Act, announced Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney André Birotte Jr. of the Central District of California and Steven M. Martinez, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office.” According to the complaint, the case is part of an FBI investigation of transnational Asian organized crime groups involved in the illicit trafficking of firearms (United States Justice Department, 2014). Lastly, the United States Justice Department (2014), stated, “– items specifically designed, developed, configured, adapted or modified for military application – into the United States from the Republic of the Philippines, including 12 fully automatic Bushmaster M-4 .223 caliber rifles, a .50 caliber sniper rifle, an M14 7.62mm assault rifle, a single-shot grenade launcher, a rocket propelled grenade (RPG-7) launcher, a mortar launcher, an AK-47 rifle and ballistic vests. None of the defendants had a license to import these items into the United States.”The three men in the DOJ bust were Sergio Santiago de Leon Syjuco, aka “Yogi,” 25, of Muntinlupa City, Philippines; Cesar Paolo Inciong Ubaldo, aka “Arvi,” 26, of Paranaque City, Philippines; and Arjyl Revereza, 25, of Manila, Philippines.”
However, a counter accusation was made against the FBI involving possible unethical tactics involved in the bust.
According to Pimentel (2013), “Defense attorneys had feverishly asked the judge to dismiss the case arguing the undercover FBI agent engaged in “outrageous government misconduct” and entrapped their client. Federal Deputy Public Investigator Richard Goff traveled to Manila and found: “On several occasions, the undercover agent invited [the defendants] to …brothels in and around Manila in order to reward them for their efforts and encourage them to continue looking for weapons. [The undercover agent] ordered prostitutes and paid for himself and others to have sex with the prostitutes.” Court documents show the place the deals were being conducted in was at brothel houses Air Force One and Area 51, which was later raided by the Philippine government where they found underage prostitutes. The FBI agent had sought $15,000 in reimbursement related to the investigation.”
The quote by Pimentel (2013) is backed by Sullivan (2018), who stated, “Several FBI employees have been recalled from cities across Asia in recent months while the Justice Department’s inspector general examines allegations related to parties and interactions with prostitutes, The Wall Street Journal reports.” Further, Sullivan (2018) states, “Although the vast majority of the FBI’s approximately 36,000 employees are based in the United States, the bureau maintains a large presence of special agents and support staff in embassies across the world who work with foreign law enforcement agencies on matters of mutual interest. These permanently assigned international personnel are augmented by FBI global response teams based in the United States, which frequently deploy overseas to conduct investigations.”
To keep the FBI in mind involving the previous quotes surrounding guns and prostitution, let us add gambling to the mix to show the scope of the FBI in the Philippines.
Reuters (2013) stated, “The FBI sent agents to Manila as part of a probe into millions of dollars of payments made by Universal Entertainment Corp to a government consultant in relation to the firm’s casino project on Manila Bay, the Philippine gaming regulator said.” Further, regarding this FBI probe into Manila based gambling operations which also included the Nevada Gaming Control Board, Reuters (2013), stated, “Reuters was the first to report in mid-November on the money transfers totaling $40 million to Rodolfo Soriano, an aide of Naguiat’s predecessor Efraim Genuino. The payments were made in 2010 when Universal was lobbying for concessions from the government for its casino project.
Back to guns…
In a separate case, Immigration & Customs Enforcement (2016) stated, “A Long Beach woman and her son have been named in federal grand jury indictments that charge them with illegally shipping hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of firearms parts and ammunition to their native Philippines – munitions that were concealed in shipments they falsely claimed to be household goods.” The press release by ICE details how Marlou Mendoza, 60, and Mark Louis Mendoza, 30, were given indictments by a grand jury and Ms. Mendoza was arrested at LAX airport, but her son in 2016 remained at large. Eerily similar to the money wire-transfer in the Las Vegas shooting case between the United States and The Philippines, it was stated, “The money laundering charge against Mark Mendoza alleges that during the first six months of 2011, he transferred more than $650,000 in proceeds generated by the illegal ammunition exports from an account in the Philippines to a money remitter in Los Angeles.” (Immigrant & Customs Enforcement, 2016).
“Mark Mendoza, who was the president of a “tools and equipments” company known as Last Resort Armaments, ordered more than $100,000 worth of ammunition and firearms accessories, much of which was delivered to his parent’s Long Beach residence over a six-month period in 2011. The items Mark Mendoza ordered included parts for M-16 and AR-15-type rifles, which are listed as defense articles on the United States Munitions List. Pursuant to the Arms Export Control Act, items on the Munitions List may not be shipped to the Philippines without an export license issued by the Department of State.” (Immigration & Customs Enforcement, 2016).
Relating to the task-force that pursued the Mendoza’s, according to Immigration & Customs Enforcement (2016), “A Joint probe by HSI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) that began in 2011 after U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers uncovered a cache of ammunition and firearms parts in an outbound crate being shipped by Marlou Mendoza that had falsely been declared to be household effects. In July 2011, CBP and the Philippine Bureau of Customs (BOC) intercepted and seized three separate shipments from Last Resort Armaments containing approximately 180,000 rounds of .22-caliber ammunition, and more than three dozen receivers for AR-15 and M-16 assault rifles. In November 2012, specials agents with HSI and ATF special agents executed a search warrant at a location associated with Last Resort Armaments, seizing more than 120,000 rounds of .22-caliber ammunition, along with AR-15 trigger assemblies, magazines, sights and rifle barrels.”
The United States Embassy in the Philippines in a press release detailed the gun-trafficking arrests of Elizabeth Grino and Ronie Velasco within the Philippines through coordinated efforts by the Philippine National Police, US Homeland Security, ICE, and the Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearm bureau (ATF). According to the press release, “Grino and Velasco were caught during a buy bust operation in Makati City on June 8, 2017 after a number of illegal sales of the Glock fully automatic firearms selector switches (SEARS) to buyers in the United States. They were arrested for violation of the Philippine Republic Act (RA) 10591, Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act, a no-bail offense. PNP, ATF, and HSI Manila are working together to have charges filed against the two, who are representing Royal City Tactical, for the manufacturing and shipping of the Glock fully automatic SEARS to the U.S.” (U.S. Embassy Manila, 2017).
So, think about all of this… These ICE, FBI, and DOJ cases happened before the shooting, with the US Embassy releasing information on US-Filipino gun sales in 2017, a few months before the shooting – a shooting where a Filipino woman that dated Stephen Paddock had received a large sum of money via international wire-transfer from a man with a large cache of guns.
3. The Las Vegas Shooter’s Filipino Connection: It’s important to know that Marilou Danley has Australian citizenship but was living in the United States. She still resides in the US in Los Angeles in a home worth over $2.3 million dollars (Radar Online, 2019). Elton-Pym (2017) stated that she was reportedly in the Philippines at the time of the attack, but some of her personal ID may have been used to book Mr. Paddock’s Vegas hotel room.
All we really know about Stephen Paddock is he was a gambler, maybe with a drinking problem, lost a slip-and-fall lawsuit against the Cosmopolitan casino, had a pilot’s license, had a computer with no hard-drive in his hotel room, had a few professional jobs but made millions in real-estate, had a father with a criminal history, was a germophobic, and according to Ms. Dailey in an article by Mitchell (2018) became interested in guns (which she stated was a hobby), became distant where the relationship lost intimacy, but Paddock was constantly looking out of windows.
““Danley, according to police, said during their early September stay at the Mandalay Bay Paddock was “behaving strangely” and looking out the windows toward the Las Vegas Village venue where the three-day concert would be held later in the month. “The two were staying in room 60-235 and she observed Paddock constantly looking out the windows of the room which overlooked the Las Vegas Village venue,” the report states. “Paddock would move from window to window looking at the site from different angles.”” (Mitchell, 2018)
However, something more disturbing probably led Mr. Paddock’s paranoia. According to Mitchell (2018), “Computer forensic analysis of Paddock’s Dell laptop “revealed numerous internet searches for open air venues” and “several hundred images of child pornography”. On top of this disturbing revelation, lastly, Mitchell (2018) stated that Investigators also found Paddock “was indebted to no one and in fact paid all his gambling debts off prior to the shooting.”
According to Jason Silverstein (2018) of Newsweek, “The documents reveal Danley told investigators they would likely find her fingerprints on Paddock’s ammo once they looked into it — which turned out to be true. She also said she sometimes helped with loading the magazines for some of his weapons. It was not clear from the documents why exactly Danley was handling the weapons or if she did anything else with them.”
“The records also show Paddock purchased most of his guns and ammo online in the 12 months leading up to the attack, and that he used anonymous communication tools and destroyed some of his digital footprints. Investigators found three cell phones in Paddock’s Mandalay Bay hotel suite. One was locked, and an FBI agent wrote that this phone was likely the one that would contain “any information related to a potential conspiracy.” Authorities previously revealed that they also found a laptop with no hard drive in the room.” (Silverstein, 2018).
According to Winter, Dienst, Williams & Blankstein (2017), “Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock wired $100,000 to an account in his live-in girlfriend’s home country, the Philippines, in the week before he unleashed the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history, according to multiple senior law enforcement officials.”
“Danley, 62, who had traveled to Hong Kong on Sept. 25, could fill in some of the blanks after returning to the United States on Wednesday, the officials said. She arrived at Los Angeles International Airport escorted by FBI agents late Tuesday; multiple law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation said.” (Winter, Dienst, Williams, & Blankstein, 2017).
“There were 16 Currency Transaction Reports, or CTRs, filed for Paddock in recent weeks. The Treasury Department and the IRS mandate that casinos file the reports for “each transaction in currency involving cash-in and cash-out of more than $10,000 in a gaming day.” (Winter, Dienst, Williams, & Blankstein, 2017).
The piece by Winter et al. (2017), however, paints Steve Paddock, the shooter, as a high-stakes gambler, who claimed to have been injured in a slip at a Casino and he sued the Cosmopolitan Hotel. Paddock was also Seven Stars Tier Status holder which is a premier package for high-roller gamblers. Yet, after the slip incident, and with Paddock losing his lawsuit, it seems something happened, and then he did the shooting.
However, there’s still a lot of shade around this, but the fact that his girlfriend was in the Philippines, doesn’t implicate her to some larger international conspiracy, but rather sheds light on the Philippines as is, which is actually the focal point of issues such as Terrorism, guns sales, human trafficking, and having a long history of US Special Operations which involves Psychological Warfare campaigns.
According to Herbets (2018) on October 1, 2018 a judge had ordered the release of 300 pages of FBI documents relating to the shooting and it shed light on the probable cause the FBI had which was Paddock’s emails.
“According to one of many requests for access into shooter Stephen Paddock’s email account, investigators found that he may have been emailing himself cryptic messages.” (Herbert, 2018).
Paddock was having email correspondence with email addresses, centralpark1@live.com and centralpark4804@gmail.com. Yet, Herbets (2018) states, “The FBI states Paddock was once the manager of an apartment complex in Reno called Central Park.Girlfriend”
Regarding Sheldon Adelson of Las Vegas Sands and a major Trump donors, there’s not much of a connection to The Las Vegas Shooter, despite Adelson owning hotels in Vegas which are the Venetian and Sands. The only suspicious thing one could draw is the fact that security in Las Vegas could be argued as equivalent to its own surveillance state, there’s a culture of “What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas”, and Adelson is a die-hard Zionist and many have said that his ideas are directly influencing Trump’s Middle East Policy such as the move of the US Embassy to Jerusalem.
Further, due to Sheldon Adelson as a Zionist who backs Trump links him to the Chabad community of Judaism, which has large missionaries in The Philippines.
Two of the hotels related to Paddock are Caesar’s and the Cosmopolitan.
Caesars Entertainment Corporations is partially owned Apollo Management Group, TPG Capital, Paulson & Co, but also by Carl Icahn. Icahn served as Donald Trump’s special economic adviser on financial regulation. Reuters (2016) said, “Trump and Icahn share some history in the casino business. Icahn this year helped shutter the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resorts in Atlantic City, two years after buying it out of bankruptcy. The casino was once a prized part of Trump’s empire.”.
The Cosmopolitan Hotel is owned by Blackstone Group and under CEO and co-founder Steve Schwarzman, which is one of the, if not the largest hedge fund in the world with over 500 Billion in Assets Under Management (AUM). Arnsdorf, Dawsey, Goldmacher, & Debenedetti (2017) of Politico stated, “Billionaire investor Steve Schwarzman’s newfound status as a trusted outside adviser for President Donald Trump has created blurred lines in which the Blackstone CEO is offering guidance on policies that could boost the fortunes of his company and his personal wealth.”
As far as the Mandalay Resort where Paddock conducted the shooting, according to an SEC (2017) report, it is owned by MGM Resorts International which is owned 16.1% by Tracinda, a private equity group, and T. Rowe & Price 13.9%.
So, Steve Paddock, the Las Vegas Shooter, has connections to two property held by advisers with links to Donald Trump, although the shooting itself happened to at a hotel owned by MGM Resorts which is partially owned by Tracinda and T. Rowe & Price.
4. Chabad, Noahides, & The Philippines: The Philippines is home to about 20,000 Noahide religious followers. Noahide is essentially a “gentile” worship of Israel and practicing of Judaism without Gentiles allowed to be Jewish. The Chabad Lubavitch community, which Jared Kushner has ties to, has a section on their webpage dedicated to The Philippines (https://chabad.ph/noahides/). According to a Haaretz op-ed, tilted, The Messianic Zionist Religion Whose Believers Worship Judaism (But Can’t Practice It), by Ofri Ilany on 9/12,2018. “Cooperation between Israel and the Philippines is constantly growing, and this week reached new heights with the visit to Israel of the country’s president, Rodrigo Duterte. The Philippines are a key arena of Chabad activity, and one of the primary venues where the new religion is being disseminated. There are four Chabad centers in the country, and in addition to assisting Jews, they support 10 Noahide houses of prayer. The Hasidic emissaries view the Philippines community as the model for Noahide communities in other countries.” (Ilany, 2018).
“Last month, Nova Religio, a journal devoted to emergent and alternative religions, published an article by Rachel Z. Feldman, assistant professor of religious studies at Franklin and Marshall College, in Pennsylvania, titled “The Children of Noah: Has Messianic Zionism Created a New World Religion?” In the summer of 2017, Feldman visited Noahide communities on the Filipino island of Cebu, which are supervised by Chabad rabbis. Like most Noahides around the world, the members of the Cebu community came mostly from Protestant churches but had abandoned their belief in the New Testament.” (Ilany, 2018).
“One of the groups Feldman observed lives in a mountainous, “financially challenged” rural region. In the past its members were cave dwellers who belonged to a Sabbath-observing church called Sacred Name Believers. Their leader is the Noahide preacher Emmanuel Villegas. For years he visited poor communities on various islands and converted them to the Children of Noah. He called on them to renounce Christianity and to burn their holy books – though not before cutting out the Tetragrammaton (God’s Hebrew name) from the texts.” (Ilany, 2018).
The relationship of the Philippines to Israel is deeper considering many Filipino workers do domestic work in Israel. Yet, many Filipino workers risk deportation in a nationalistic Zionist Israel. Eloise Blondiau (2016) of American Magazine, published an article titled, Filipino workers spend decades caring for Israeli families. Now they risk deportation for having children. Filipino workers spend decades caring for Israeli families. Now they risk deportation for having children (Blondiau, 2016). According to Blondiau (2016), “Despite these deep connections to Israeli society, Ms. Franco’s future in the officially Jewish state is at risk, even despite becoming a mother to a child born in Israel. This child, Yael, now 12, identifies as Israeli. Yael says she feels more Israeli than Filipino. Hebrew is her first language, and she has never left Israel.”
So where is Ms. France and her child supposed to go? Back to a county riddled with Islamic terrorism and on the radar of Jewish Noahide missionaries but also the United States military. Religious people in the Philippines being indoctrinated by Chabad ideology, despite the fact many Filipinos are engaged in international domestic work, but Filipinos are being rejected in Israel.
“The Israeli government has deported undocumented babies and young children for decades. The mothers could choose either to leave with their children—in which case they would lose their visas—or send the children home to live with relatives. Until recently, in something of a compromise, authorities allowed undocumented children who were enrolled in school to stay in the country. After a plan to deport school-going children in 2008 was later abandoned in response to a public outcry; for example, 800 children of migrant workers were granted amnesty.” (Blondiau, 2016)
“Last year, however, immigration officials began to detain Filipino mothers and ask them to sign documents that said they would be deported with their children by the end of this summer.” (Blondiau, 2016)
Considering the Chabad community is Orthodox and practices the Talmud, but is also operating in a nation such as The Philippines which was a large human and sex trafficking issue, on top of the fact that many Filipinos (who identify as religious) are sent abroad to due domestic duties in Israel (despite their treatment regarding deportation), it brings to light the practice of Child Marriage in regards to the abuse of minors.
Far away from The Philippines in the US state of New Jersey, a bill was sent to the State Legislature to block the practice of child marriage, or any marriage under the age of eighteen years old. According to JTA and Ben Sales (2018), “Jewish activists are driving both sides of the debate. The main group lobbying for the bill is Unchained at Last, a nonprofit that opposes underage marriage. The group’s founder, Fraidy Reiss, who grew up Haredi, says child marriage, primarily of girls to older men, is an abusive practice that can damage children emotionally and physically.”
Further, the JTA and Sales (2018), stated, “Agudath Israel of America, the national Haredi organization, says it supports the bill but that its provisions are too strict. Citing child marriages that take place in observant Jewish communities, it wants to see an exemption made for older teenagers who want to wed.”
The article in Haaretz however doesn’t deal with more age extreme cases and dealt mostly with marriages of 15-17. The articles also stated, “If the bill passes, it would make New Jersey only the second state in the country to ban child marriage. Delaware banned the practice earlier this year.” (JTA & Sales, 2018). This means underage marriage laws are more common in the US than we realize. A sort of “Blue Law” leftover from older times were such marriages were more common.
A History of Colonialism and Bondage.
The Philippines was first owned by the Spanish Empire under brutal control but was later acquired by the Americans in the American victory in the Spanish American war.
According to History Channel (2010) Emilio Aguinaldo and members of the Katipunan, a secret revolutionary society launched independence in the eighteen nineties. After the Americans beat the Spanish, the Americans annexed the nation which led to a Filipino resistance against the Americans, however, this was suppressed by a growing presence of American troops which topped around 65,000.
The History Channel (2010) article also refers to what could be called ethnic cleansing in the Philippines. “In an infamous episode, U.S. forces on the island of Samar retaliated against the massacre of a U.S. garrison by killing all men on the island above the age of 10. Many women and young children were also butchered. General Jacob Smith, who directed the atrocities, was court-martialed and forced to retire for turning Samar, in his words, into a “howling wilderness.”
More than 4,000 Americans perished suppressing the Philippines–more than 10 times the number killed in the Spanish-American War. More than 20,000 Filipino insurgents were killed, and an unknown number of civilians perished. (History Channel, 2010)
In 1935, the Commonwealth of the Philippines was established with U.S. approval, and Manuel Quezon was elected the country’s first president. On July 4, 1946, full independence was granted to the Republic of the Philippines by the United States. (History Channel, 2010)
Today many Americans are of Filipino heritage, have a served is the United States military, and up until full independence to my knowledge had the same passport rights as any other American overseas territory, i.e., Puerto Rico, Guam, etc.
Yet, sexual abuse has gripped the country’s history and present. According to the Associated Press (2018), “Women’s group asked the Philippine president on Thursday to oppose any request by Japan to remove a newly erected statue honoring women who were forced to work in Japanese military brothels during World War II. The Gabriela women’s group said President Rodrigo Duterte should instead demand an official apology and compensation for Filipino women who were “conscripted by the Japanese Imperial Army to serve as wartime sex slaves.”
Not only is sex trafficking big in the Philippines, like that of exposes on Indonesia, the land is also notorious for organ trafficking, which to me recalls Israel’s need for organ donors. So, we have Chabad in The Philippines teaching a religion of Israel state-worship, but Israel has an organ-donor need and The Philippines is known for illegal organ dealing.
According to The Week (2009), “Brooklyn Rabbi Levy Izhak Rosenbaum was arrested for “trafficking in human body parts,” said Sally Satel in The Wall Street Journal, as part of an FBI corruption dragnet targeting 44 New Jersey–area officials and rabbis.”
Further, according to Cook (2008), “Organ trafficking, say Filipino kidney specialists. In some desperately poor communities, many men have sold their kidneys to make a bit of cash, even though post-surgical care is rare. In Basesco, on Manila Bay, about 3,000 of the slum’s 50,000 inhabitants are reported to have sold a kidney — but not to other Filipinos, for few can afford a US$17,000transplant operation. Despite a government-imposed cap which restricts the number of transplants to foreigners to 10% of the total, wealthy foreigners, many from the Middle East are the chief beneficiaries.”
Lastly, Klein (2018), “Israel has become increasingly involved in the world transplantation industry in the last decade. This comes a few years after India, which until the 1990s was the global center of the organ trade, enacted legislation prohibiting transplants using organs acquired from living people.”, and, “The illegal transplantation industry has continued to flourish globally in recent years, the European Parliament notes, but the place of Israel – along with the Philippines and Pakistan – as hubs of the organ trade has been taken by new countries, among them Costa Rica, Colombia, Vietnam, Lebanon and Egypt.” (Klein, 2018).
5. Islamic Terrorism, US Counter-terrorism: The Philippines has a Jihadist Islamic Terrorist element, as well as being the the home to large sects of radical Noahide sects, despite the nation being predominately Roman Catholic. The county is also involved in US Special Operations against Terrorism. So, we have the US military, Israel, Jihadist, and zealot Noahide “Christian” communities, all bubbling on the island nation comprised of dozens of islands but also has a brutal history of colonialization and of human/sex trafficking.
According to Stentiford (2018), “Specifically, the US effort in the southern Philippines was a complex generational effort that, viewed over the long term, was remarkably successful in achieving US strategic goals in the region. Operation Enduring Freedom–Philippines (OEF-P)—as the US involvement in the southern Philippines was dubbed—was quite different from its counterpart in Afghanistan. Rather than a dramatic battle against terrorists and the establishment of a new government, OEF-P became, for the Americans, a largely steady-state application of multiple US government resources to fundamentally alter the relationship between the Philippine government and security forces and the people of the southern Philippines in support of American and Philippine strategic goals. (p. 1)
Further, Stentiford (2018) states, “The US military made the first tentative steps toward returning to the Philippines in March 2001—six months prior to the 9/11 attacks—to address a very specific strategic problem. Much of southern Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago had effectively become what political scientists call “ungoverned space.”
Lastly, Stentiford (2018) states, “What became Operation Enduring Freedom–Philippines began following 9/11 in 2002, when the United States sought to open a second front in the larger war against Islamic terrorist networks by engaging al Qaeda-linked organizations such as the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) and Jemaah Islamiya (JI), organizations that were taking advantage of the relatively ungoverned space in southern Mindanao and in the Sulu Archipelago.3 In this sovereignty vacuum, violent terrorist groups such as JI and the ASG were able to operate with impunity. One catalyst for US forces to enter the region was the kidnapping of an American missionary couple who were taken, along with others, from the Philippine island of Palawan on 27 May 2001 and brought to the region. Initially employing Task Force 510, and later Joint Special Operations Task Force–Philippines (JSOTF-P), the United States worked to increase the capability of the Philippine security forces (including both the armed forces and later the Philippine National Police) to defeat ASG and JI.” (p. 2).
According Kyle Rempfer (2019), a staff reporter for Military Times whom previously served an enlistment in U.S. Air Force Special Tactics and his reporting focuses on the Department of the Army, stated that “The United States wants to be the preferred military partner for the countries surrounding China, and the Army’s 1st Special Forces Group has been working that angle for decades.”
“Around 2001, 1st Group soldiers began training Philippine Rangers who would eventually form the Light Reaction Regiment, the Philippine Army’s premier counterterrorism and special mission unit. That force saw early action in the mid-2000s against the Abu Sayyaf terror group on the southern Philippine island of Mindanao. Later, they proved pivotal in the campaign to uproot the Islamic State during the 2017 Battle of Marawi” (Rempfer, 2019).
Seth Robson (2019) of Stars and Stripes, in his piece titled, US plans new anti-terrorism training centers for Southeast Asia, East Africa, details how the US State Department’s Antiterrorism Assistance Program (ATA) is funding Regional Training Centers (RTCs) in Asia to fight militant groups such as ISIS.
“Southeast Asia has been plagued by terrorism for decades. From 2002 to 2015, hundreds of U.S. special operations troops assisted the Philippine armed forces with training and surveillance through the Joint Special Operations Task Force-Philippines.” (Robson, 2019).
“At its high-water mark, in 2010, the task force included about 600 special operators working out of Camp Navarro in Zamboanga city on the island of Mindanao.” (Robson, 2019). This supported by Stentiford (2018) who states, “The main support and coordination for OEF-P had been based at either Camp Navarro, in Zamboanga City, or at Camp Aguinaldo, in Metro Manila. The number of troops fluctuated during the first years from lows of around 50 to a high of around 1,200 Americans. About half were in staff and support roles at Andrews Air Force Base, Camp Navarro in Zamboanga, or Camp Aguinaldo near Manila. The remainder of the forces were distributed mainly in team houses, normally co-located on Philippine military posts and camps, scattered from Davao to Tawi Tawi.” (p. 2-3).
“However, U.S. forces can operate facilities on Philippine bases under the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement, and U.S. personnel often visit military bases in places such as Zamboanga, Sulu and Palawan, according to Patricio Abinales, a Philippines expert at the University of Hawaii, ‘I’m sure they are not just there for some light training’ he said.” (Robson, 2019).
One terrorist group in The Philippines is Abu Sayaff, which according to the BBC Monitoring (2016), “It broke from the broader Moro National Liberation Front in 1991 because it disagreed with the MNLF’s policy of pursuing autonomy and wanted to establish an independent Islamic state”, and, “Its founder, Abdurajak Abubakar Janjalani, was an Islamic preacher who fought in the Soviet-Afghan war, where he is said to have met Osama Bin Laden and been inspired by him. Al-Qaeda provided the group with funding and training when it was initially set up. After Janjalani died, the group split into two main networks whose leaders were then killed in 2006 to 2007. Since then, Abu Sayyaf has operated as a collection of factions that work with each other through kinship or personal ties, but which also occasionally compete against each other.” (BBC, 2016).
Think about that, Abdurajak Abubakar Janjalani, was a veteran of the Soviet-Afghan Conflict which means he was on the side of American interests during the Cold War and received some type of training or arms, even if by proxy, from the Pentagon. So, we have a terror group founded by a veteran of the American-side of the Soviet-Afghan conflict, same as Osama Bin Laden, who set up terrorist cells conveniently in The Philippines, which is an area that is of vital US defense policy in evermore growing tensions of the USA versus China. Terrorism thus serves as a justification and smokescreen, for the superpowers for exercise fore indirectly. For example, if these terrorist cells weren’t in the Philippines and people noticed growing US military operations, it would stir suspicion of direct war or conflict between China and the USA.
Rommel C. Banlaoi (2010), the Executive Director of the Philippine Institute for Peace, Violence and Terrorism Research, an independent think-tank, in an article published for the West Point Combating Terror Center, stated, “The ASG is a symbol of the complexities of armed violence in the southern Philippines that interact with issues of banditry, terrorism, rebellion, separatism, clan conflict, ethnic conflict and warlordism. The continuous entry of foreign jihadists to the southern Philippines only compounds these issues, as radical foreigners subvert the minds of the locals, imbuing them with a violent Islamist ideology. Moreover, they also train local fighters in sophisticated bomb-making skills. Only effective governance can limit ethnic conflict, banditry and rebellion.”.
So, we have a shooter in Las Vegas with a shadowy Filipino girlfriend… Who was in the Philippines during the shooting… Changed her social medial profile information before the shooting… Admitted to having her prints on the ammunition… The Philippines is known for gun trafficking and the prostitution of minors… The FBI has been under scrutiny for accusations of procuring prostitutes that were minors in illegal gun sting-operations, but the agency has also been accused of having agents engaging in Asian prostitution… The Vegas Shooter had pornography featuring minors on one of his computers and there was missing hard drive from that computer or one of his other computers… He had a pilot’s license… His girlfriend worked in a casino… The FBI and Nevada Gaming Control Board investigated direct-payments from a major Japanese casino-machine vendor with Filipino government officials… Trump has a hotel in Manila… Chabad is a large community in the Philippines… Sheldon Adelson, known as The Kingmaker, is heavy-hitter in Las Vegas… The Philippines is an important strategic location for the USA against China with Duterte serving as a kind of Turkey’s relation to the USA and Russia in a region where Duterte can ride the fence… There are jihadist elements in the Philippines… In the early nineteen-fifties,
6. Psy-Ops, Vampires, and the works of OSS CIA Maj. Gen. Edward G. Lansdale: Major General Edward G. Lansdale was sent to the Philippines to conduct psychological operations. He was educated at the UCLA and was in publishing before joining the US Army which still then held the Air Corps before it was spun off into the independent United States Air Force. Another person attached to UCLA was Dr. William S. Kroger who was a pioneer in hypnosis and will be discussed later.
“Edward Lansdale was a California advertising man who joined the fledgling Office of Strategic Services during the World War II, later going on to become a CIA officer and U.S. Air Force major general.” (Malkasian, 2018). He was one of the fathers of Psychological Operations within the US military and applied concepts learned in advertising with an anthropological approach of understanding a population’s customs. By studying a group’s culture, the United States military was able to “Weaponize Anthropology”, which was has been discussed in published books such as Weaponizing Anthropology by Dr. David Price.
According to the United States Air Force’s (n.d.) Biography section, “In 1950, at the personal request of President Elpidio Quirino, he was transferred to Joint United States Military Assistance Group, Philippines, to advise the intelligence services of the Armed Forces of the Philippines which were then meeting a serious threat to national security by the Communist Huks. Ramon Magsaysay had just been appointed secretary of national defense and Lansdale was made liaison officer to Secretary Magsaysay for JUSMAG. The two became intimate friends, frequently visiting the combat areas together. Lansdale helped the Philippine Armed Forces develop psychological operations, civic actions, and the rehabilitation of Huk prisoners in projects such as EDCOR. He was given a temporary promotion to colonel in 1951”.
“He was an assistant for special operations to secretary of defense Robert S. McNamara during the early years of the Kennedy administration when vital decisions were being made to commit U.S. support to the Saigon government in fighting the Viet Cong in South Vietnam.” (Barnes, 1987).
“He was the prototype for Col. Edwin Barnum Hillendale in “The Ugly American,” the novel by William J. Lederer and Eugene Burdick about a harmonica-playing American officer who went into the rural areas of the Philippines and persuaded the peasants to oppose communism. He also was the prototype for “The Quiet American,” the naive U.S. official in the novel by Graham Greene who believed the United States could defeat communism in South Vietnam by instilling a sense of Town Hall democracy in the rural population.” (Barnes, 1987).
“He was an early proponent of psychological warfare, a concept he first put to use against the Hukbalalhap in the Philippines. In one such operation there, government psychological warfare squads, playing on a superstitious dread of vampires in the countryside, spread rumors that a vampire lived on a hill where the Hukbalalhap were based. Two nights later, the government squad seized the last man from a night rebel patrol, punctured his neck with two holes, hung his body until the blood drained out, and then put the corpse back on the trail. The insurgents fled the region.” (Barnes, 1987).
Lansdale was brought to the Philippines by the Military Assistance Group, which is a designation for United States military advisers sent to other countries to assist in the training of conventional armed forces and facilitate military aid.
Such Military Assistance Groups would also play a role in the Vietnam War serving a lynchpin or crux between the Central Intelligence Agency and Combatant Commanders of the various service branches. Essentially, the MAG or MAAG (Military Assistance and Advisory Groups) distilled policy that service branches would conduct with many of these operations relating to “Hearts and Minds” campaigns on the surface but also psychological terror operations including Phoenix Program Kill Brigades. On a random note, Tiger Wood’s dad was a member of the Military Assistance Group while in Vietnam, an alumnus of the Defense Information School at Fort Meade, Maryland, and a member of the US Army Airborne based out of Fort Bragg. Earl Woods would later make a living in the Southern California Defense sector, but his son, would go to play golf at Stanford University, which was connections, oddly to Esalen Institute founder Mike Murphy, who was an advocate of the Human Potential Movement which is related to Transhumanist Movement based out of universities such as The New School in New York City , the early psychadelia community (recreational drug usage such as with LSD), and he authored the book Golf in the Kingdom.
Michael Murphy himself was military connected, earning his B.A. in psychology in 1952 from Stanford University. After graduation, he was drafted by the US Army and spent two years stationed in Puerto Rico as a psychologist
Back to Earl Woods, the US Army Airborne under US Army Special Forces at Fort Bragg falls under the United States Special Operations Command based out of MacDill AFB near Tampa, FL. Fort Bragg is home to the JFK Special Warfare Center where courses in psychological operations are also taught. One unit that falls under the US Army’s Special Operations Command out of Fort Bragg, NC is the USAF 193rd Special Operations Wing based of the Pennsylvania Air National Guard. The mission of this unit is to Broadcast radio/TV to target populations, jamming, etc., but messages are created back at the 4th Psy Group at Fort Bragg.
7. Black Dahlia & The Philippines: George Hodel, the suspected Black Dahlia Murderer, fled to the Philippines and eventually took a Filipino wife. Also spent time in China. Mr. Hodel was born in Pasadena, California, and was of Russian-Jewish descent, and was a medical doctor who left Caltech after a sexual sandal but later gained his medical degree from UC Berkley and the University of San Francisco. In his mid-years he was involved in the Hollywood party scene where his medical skills would come in handy including performing abortions. He was interested in S&M and surrealist art and was friends of artist Man Ray (also of Russian Jewish descent), whose art piece, The Minotaur, would be the same as Elizabeth Short’s mutilated body.
8. MK-Ultra & The Philippines: MKUltra program was created by the CIA’s Office of Scientific Intelligence (now called the Directorate of Science & Technology) and the United States Army Biological Warfare Center. According to a National Public Radio interview by Terry Gross (2019), with journalist Stephen Kinzer, on Kinzer’s research into the MKUltra Program – particularly that of chemist Sidney Gottlieb, it was stated, “Some of Gottlieb’s experiments were covertly funded at universities and research centers, Kinzer says, while others were conducted in American prisons and in detention centers in Japan, Germany and the Philippines. Many of his unwitting subjects endured psychological torture ranging from electroshock to high doses of LSD, according to Kinzer’s research.”
9. The Curious Case of Candy Jones, The FBI and Hypnosis?: Pin-Up model, Candy Jones, while one a USO morale tour in the Philippines, claimed she was mind-controlled while there. Despite Ms. Jones, coming off as a caricature and being seen a “quack” , the revelation that she was possibly hypnotized or at least examined by a Dr. William S. Kroger of UCLA, who was a pioneer in hypnosis is plausible because he was a gynecologist with hypnotherapy credentials. However, this claim was made by a Mr. Michael Cannon, who seems to be involved your typical far-right conspiracy circles, being attached to The Constitution Society. Mr. Cannon aside, when I follow up on the lead, I do find interesting information on William S. Kroger who was a gynecologist and trained hypnotherapist. Yet, we should take her accusation seriously. She said she was practiced on without her consent.
It sounds strange to say words such as mind-control, but it’s not that far fetched to think that people wanted to attempt to experiment if it were possible, particularly for interrogation techniques or the training of military troops to stay calm under severe duress. We must remember that MKUltra was real, and not simply a moniker in conspiracy culture circles. Dr. Kroger was a real person who is published in the field of hypnosis and educated at a prominent university.
Yet, William S. Kroger seems have lived a life of esteem and was given a kind obituary by the Los Angeles Times in 1995. According to Myrna Oliver (1995) of The Los Angeles Times, “The author of a dozen medical textbooks, Kroger began experimenting with hypnotism in 1930 and taught more than 100,000 physicians to use the 4,000-year-old technique as the least intrusive method of dealing with such areas of medicine as childbirth and chronic pain. The American Medical Assn. finally approved the use of hypnotism in 1958.”
Further, Oliver (1995), stated, “Kroger was often consulted about uses of hypnotism in fields other than medicine, notably interviewing crime victims or witnesses. In 1977, the FBI asked him to question the school bus driver who was kidnapped with his 26 young passengers in Chowchilla, Calif. Under Kroger’s hypnosis, driver Frank Ray was able to recall all but one digit of the license plate of the kidnappers’ van, greatly assisting in tracking them down. The psychiatrist trained FBI agents in hypnosis techniques and assisted them in solving about 30 homicide and other cases using age regression, time distortion and imagery to interview hypnotized witnesses. He was also a consultant to the Los Angeles Police Department and law enforcement agencies around the country.”
An interesting reference to Dr. W.S. Kroger appears in the reference section of
So, even though Candy Jones herself may not have been credible to many, the fact that a doctor linked to her claim was actively consulting the FBI in real-life, shows there’s an overlap between alternate forms of medicine and psychoanalysis with the state. If hypnosis was used by the FBI it isn’t a stretch it could be used for military purposes or intelligence reasons.
However, theirs is a possible link to Candy Jones and William S. Kroger considering A) he was medical professional with hypnosis expertise which he conducted and published at reputable universities such as Northwestern, UCLA, etc., and B) A lot of his work dealt with Gynecology – hence, there’s a plausible reason for him to have seen Ms. Jones if she was experiencing female related health issues.
Searching William S. Kroger and Philippines as words in a standard Google Search, I came upon Dr. Kroger in a reference section of the book by Foss, Foss & Domenico (2013), detailing biases against women in regards to gender identity, titled, Gender Stories: Negotiating Identity in a Binary World, in which is Foss, Foss & Domenico (2013) references Eduard Eichner’s (1962), “The Premenstrual Tension Syndrome – Fact or Fancy?” in Psychosomatic Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Endocrinology, edited by William S. Kroger (Springfield, IL: Charles C Thomas, 1962), p 319.
Foss, Foss, & Domenico (2018), states, “After Dalton named PMS a medical disorder, the diagnosis became popular with physicians and researchers alike to the point that many came to believe that all women suffer from PMS. Physician Eduard Eichner studying what he called premenstrual tension syndrome (PTS), summarized this belief: There is ample evidence that woman in general…experience symptoms of premenstrual tension. Many are not aware they suffer, but their coworkers know and often feel the full effects of irritability and irascibility manifested by the patient. Interpersonal relations are frequently inharmonious, and many domestic tragedies results from PTS” (p. 94).
George Hodel was born October 1, 1907 in LA and died May 16, 1999 in San Francisco. Edward G. Lansdale was born February 6, 1908 in Detroit but grew up in the LA area and died February 23, 1987 in McLean, VA. Both George Hodel and Edward Lansdale spent time in the Philippines in the 1950s. Edward Lansdale before he joined the military was a Los Angeles-area Advertising man that was educated at UCLA. But noted Hypnotherapist William S. Kroger was clinical professor of anesthesiology at the UCLA School of Medicine. However, I’m not making a direct link here, yet, both men’s names will appear in this report with Lansdale having physically served in The Philippines, whereas Kroger, or at least an associate or someone with an interests in his workers, was rumored to have been in The Philippines.
