1/There are people who are genuinely trying to talk intelligently about cryptocurrencies, but can’t because they don’t have historical background. This thread tries to correct that by suggesting required reading. First, it’s necessary to know what problem it attempts to solve.
2/Bitcoin is designed to be “sound money.” It can’t be controlled by government. What’s mine is mine, what’s yours is yours, and can’t be “diluted” by shadowy “central bankers,” lurking in their urban apartments, smoking cigars — or worse, eating lox bagels.
3/This has been an obsession of a certain kind of person for over 100 years. Protocols of the Elders of Zion (1903) was an early propaganda piece out of Russia, later amplified by Henry Ford.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Proto…
4/The creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 and the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 terrified the industrial aristocratic class; the mob was at the gate. They were coming for their money, one way or another.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_R…
5/The rich did not take this lying down. They began to organize. In 1933 they tried to overthrow the US government and capture or kill FDR, to restore the Gold Standard (sound money) and kill the Federal Reserve. They were not successful.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_…
6/Meanwhile another idea had taken root: race science, funded for decades by industrialist backers. Also known as “Eugenics,” the theory was that humans could only evolve if “superior” genes were propagated, requiring “competition” and “free markets.”

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics_…
7/In 1937, Wickliffe Draper started the Pioneer Fund, which for decades would support a range of “race science” inquiries and informed “research” developing in Nazi Germany. Remember the “Bell Curve?” That’s Pioneer Fund.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wickliffe…
8/A weird cult group called “I AM” also got underway in the 1930’s. It was obsessed with gold (“sound money”) and chanted: “Blast blast blast the Roosevelts from this earth.” Robert LeFevre was convicted in 1940 for his role in the gold cult.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22I_AM%2…
9/LeFevre would go on to found the “Freedom School,” which laid the foundation for and promoted American libertarianism and Austrian economics. One pupil and supporter of the Freedom School? Charles Koch (see Dark Money, by Jane Mayer)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_S…
10/By the late 50’s, the “sound money” goal wasn’t any closer. Candy magnate Robert Welch founded the John Birch Society to avenge “creeping communism” (the enemy of sound money) in the US. Eisenhower was too pinko for them.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Birc…
11/A similar “anti-communist” movement had been brewing globally, and reunited wartime fascists with emerging networks in Asia (Taiwan, South Korea, etc). The World Anti-Communist League aligned with JBS and “sound money” policies.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Lea…
12/American libertarianism as promoted by LeFevre was heavily influenced by “Austrian School” economics, which posited that individual gain and competition determined all economic activity, and deduced a framework from that. (Narrator: it’s nonsense.)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrian_…
13/Still obsessed with gold, competition, and Eugenics, a new generation had entered the fray. Allying with Reagan in 1981, the Council for National Policy set out to operationalize the John Birch Society/WACL agenda. (Narrator: they did #Jan6.)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_f…
14/By 1988, “I AM” was long gone, but a successor, Church Universal and Triumphant, continued the pursuit. Elizabeth Clare Prophet here cites prominent libertarians Ron Paul, Murray Rothbard, and Anthony Sutton, saying gold is America’s destiny.

summitlighthouse.org/pearls/1988pow…
15/In 1997, two noted libertarians James Dale Davidson and William Rees-Mogg, publish “The Sovereign Individual,” a screed about the demise of nation states, “digital cash” (gold), and disdain for taxes. Peter Thiel later wrote a foreword.

goodreads.com/book/show/8225…
16/Robert Mercer, a computer scientist and linguist trained under John Bircher Revilo Oliver, believes the Eugenics trope that earnings equates to societal value. He later funds Cambridge Analytica and attempts to engineer elections.

nature.com/articles/s4159…
17/Peter Thiel goes on to manipulate American politics and also gets involved in more race science, directly connected to Pioneer Fund characters. He also backs the creation of Ethereum.

bylinetimes.com/2021/12/10/pet…
18/Members of the Council for National Policy tried to do on Jan 6 2021 what their forebears could not do in 1933 with the Business Plot: forcefully overthrow the US government. This is a detailed breakdown of their involvement.

washingtonspectator.org/nelson-cnp/
19/Today, cryptocurrencies are attempting to drive “sound money” by pushing FOMO around Bitcoin, which is propped up by a fraudulent project called Tether. The hope is that “network effects” (Thiel’s specialty) will kick in and drive widespread adoption.

bloomberg.com/news/features/…
20/Bitcoin and NFTs have been packaged as helping “the little guy” get ahead. This is called “class collaboration” and weaponizes working people on behalf of the ultra-rich. Mussolini did this too, under the name “class collaboration.”

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_col…
21/And in fact, most Bitcoin is controlled by just a few people; it’s not “democratized” in any way. Just 0.01% hold 27%. It’s just one more shot at the old “sound money” fever dream, floated on the backs of average people as accomplices.

wsj.com/articles/bitco…
22/No discussion of crypto would be complete without mentioning its staggering waste of energy; or the real goal of displacing the dollar as the reserve currency, so as to maximize oil/gas industry returns over time. Learn about that in my audio series.

soundcloud.app.goo.gl/A7cGUPkP9htc1p…
23/Anyone blindly promoting cryptocurrencies without understanding the full background of “sound money,” gold, race science, and white supremacy is unwittingly advancing an agenda they don’t comprehend. Pretending it isn’t there won’t make it go away.
24/The background provided here is just skimming the surface. There is plenty more. It’s called “history,” and it’s not had near enough attention. So we are repeating past episodes, but this time with tech bells and whistles. Please read up, get informed, and educate others.
25/This is part of an effort to destabilize the world so the “gold” network can gain primacy and “evolve” the human race. I didn’t sign up for this agenda, nor did most people. Awareness can stop it, but it needs to be crushed with prejudice. Just like Smedley Butler did in 1934.
This is one of my favorite segments from this speech of Prophet's. There is an Ascended Master called "God of Gold" who advised that the Federal Reserve is evil. Who knew? Image
And for completeness, I should add that "I AM" did continue as a strain separate from CUT, but the original "I AM" sect founded by Guy and Edna Ballard faded significantly after Guy's death in 1939. You can still find "I AM" teachings derived from the Ballards in multiple groups.

If you want to understand Epstein-Israel better, consider Russia’s desire for influence and control of Israel. Where they have significant influence through the Lubavitch network (which is hooked into Jared Kushner, Charles Kushner, Ivanka Trump, and Benjamin Netanyahu) they could obtain additional leverage and control through one of Netanyahu’s rivals, Ehud Barak.

Epstein sat at the intersection of those two networks and thus had hooks into multiple Israeli power factions. Epstein wasn’t working “for” Israel, but rather maintaining it as part of his portfolio, on Putin’s behalf.
As the evidence now shows overwhelmingly and conclusively that Epstein was advancing Russia’s influence agenda on multiple fronts, this becomes much more clear. Epstein had thousands of US contacts as well, but that doesn’t mean he was working for US interests. Indeed, he was not. If you look at *what* he was doing and ask “cui bono?,” the answer is always Putin and his global influence network.
I've covered this in detail before, but Russian propagandists have leaned heavily on latent antisemitism for over a century to provide cover for their own activities, starting with the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Filipp Bobkov developed modern 21st century strategies; they also backed Yasser Arafat and helped amplify Palestinian identity and grievances.

None of this is to provide cover to the Netanyahu regime's murderous actions in Gaza. But if you want to understand what Epstein was doing, it's necessary to put aside all of that and study this objectively. Epstein was working to exert influence in (at minimum) the US, Europe, and Israel. His "Israeli ties" are well explained by that objective alone.

1/Last August we launched a series of investigative articles asking: “Was Jeffrey Epstein part of Russia's broader war on the West?”

You should read it. Six installments (so far), each covering an important part of the bigger picture. We start at SFI.

2/On Epstein’s good friend John Brockman, and his efforts to infiltrate the worlds of science and culture.

3/On efforts by Epstein to infiltrate and operationalize Brockman’s “Edge”network.

1/Now that people are ready to hear it, Noam Chomsky was a founding member of the International Tribunal of Natural Justice, a FSB-aligned group responsible for spreading the most insane QAnon and COVID disinformation, founded by conspiracy theorist Sacha Stone, Image
Image
2/ITNJ was founded in 2015, and Chomsky was involved from the beginning. We spotted these ties in 2020 but many assumed he had been “tricked” or “didn’t understand.” But this was exactly when he was palling around with Bannon and Epstein. In his own words…
3/Sacha Stone is also a longtime collaborator with Jeffrey Sachs, who everybody can now see is a full Putinist. The “Sustainable Development Goals” Sachs claims to advocate for have been hijacked by Putin to serve his “Noospheric” agenda.

1/It’s time to say this clearly, as you can see it with your own two eyes finally: Epstein was interacting first and foremost with Russia-aligned interests and was touching nearly every active measures and disinformation agent that has roiled Western democracies…
2/He is not plotting with “Israeli handlers.” He is coordinating with Putin, FSB agents, and their collaborators in the US and elsewhere, including Ehud Barak. What people don’t understand is the relationship between Russia and Israel which is long and complex…
3/For decades Russia has sought leverage and control in the Levant region. The KGB backed Yasser Arafat and fueled Palestinian conflict as a leverage mechanism. Robert Maxwell was involved in emigration of Soviet Jews into Israel. The Lubavitcher cult, founded in Russia…

1/Trump’s Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh is the son in law of Trump’s Greenland whisperer (and major Greenland investor) Ron Lauder. Warsh also was partying with Epstein at Christmas in 2010, two years after Epstein’s conviction.
2/Trump was targeted on orders of KGB head Vladimir Kryuchkov; specifically at a 1986 lunch run by Leonard Lauder, Ron’s brother, both of whom helped run Estes Lauder cosmetics. Trump traveled to Moscow in 1987 with the help of Epstein pal Vitaly Churkin and Kryuchkov’s brother in law, journalist and KGB agent Genrikh Borovik.
3/Robert Maxwell was tapped by Kryuchkov around the same time to exfiltrate Communist party funds into scores of Western bank accounts with the help of Maxwell’s contacts, which included Semion Mogilevich. Many involved in that operation “died” in/after the August 1991 “failed coup.”

I regret to inform that this is all very simple, and dumb: since 2017, Putin has been trying to goad Trump into seizing Venezuela and Greenland. Putin thinks this will cement the “Monroe Doctrine” as US policy, which he thinks will drive US disengagement from Ukraine.

This effort failed in 2019 because it was blocked by John Bolton, Fiona Hill, Rex Tillerson, and other cabinet officials who considered these proposals but found them unwise.

Putin’s efforts to goad Trump resumed in 2025, first with renewed interest in Greenland, second with Venezuela. The Venezuela dangle worked, and there were no adults to stop it, and plenty of profiteers eager to help.

Now he’s after Cuba and Greenland, which Putin thinks (again) will catalyze US disengagement in Ukraine, which he hopes will give him a freer hand there, as well as reorient US power in the Western Hemisphere and away from Europe.

That’s it. That’s what’s going on. Oil, minerals, peace prizes are all part of the dangle. But this is the whole ballgame.
Receipts, part 1.
