1/DUTY TO WARN: We have assembled information that suggests there is a credible near term threat to the global financial system and economic stability. The threat is in progress; there are multiple factors in play, but the most urgent is the upcoming authorization to increase...
2/the US debt ceiling, early next year. Republicans are threatening not to raise it; causing the US to default on its debt, which will have catastrophic effects on the dollar and make it more expensive for the US to borrow. They threatened this... washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…
3/last December, but caved at the last minute. The timing wasn't right. But it may be now — the Ukraine war is underway, it's winter in Europe, gas prices will be up, Putin can continue nuclear blackmail, and China may move on Taiwan. A perfect storm. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
4/This kind of economic shock played a significant role in Putin's rise to power. Jeffrey Sachs, a Harvard economist now at Columbia, borrowed ideas from Poland's transition to free market principles in architecting Russia's privatization. npr.org/sections/money…
5/Jeffrey Sachs is active today and is coordinating with known active disinformation campaigns, and people such as Tulsi Gabbard. He was the very first guest on her new podcast. Gabbard has been vocal in her support of Russia, and pushing anti-NATO views.
6/Sachs has been working with questionable characters for quite some time. In early 2007, he partnered up with Sacha Stone, a failed rock musician, to help form ersatz NGO "Humanitad," and for several years on the 2015 UN Millennium Development Goals. humanitad.org/janez-drnovsek…
7/Stone has been working with a wide range of people promoting "PizzaGate", QAnon, and related theories for years. His International Tribunal for Natural Justice is built around child trafficking, QAnon themes, anti-5G, COVID denial, and the like. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacha_Sto…
8/His current disinformation project is called "Arise Guerrilla News" which has platformed Michael Flynn, Leigh Dundas, Ann Vandersteel, and many others connected to MAGA, QAnon, CSPOA, etc. This is an offshoot of his 2021 tour of the US... https[:]//ariseguerrillanews.com
9/with COVID denier and fellow conspiracist Robert David Steele. Steele died of COVID in August 2021. The tour was called ARISE USA and featured speakers such as Steele, Stone, Dundas, Richard Mack, COVID denier Dr. Sherry Tenpenny, and others. ssrnews.com/may-22-festiva…
10/Stone is also part of an initiative called Planet 3000, which aims to shift the world to a "Noospheric Constitution." This idea, rooted in Russian Cosmism, is pop-science among the Russian elite, and at the core of Russian nationalism; see chapter 1. taylorfrancis.com/books/oa-mono/…
11/Here is a book that describes the Noosphere plan in great detail. It includes essays from Sacha Stone, Barbara Marx Hubbard, and Jose Arguelles, who are all connected to this. Also the Russian cult leader Vissarion. See pages 214-222 for details. academia.edu/24070566/Sanbu…
12/Most importantly, the Noosphere idea is adopted by Putin's Chief of Staff Anton Vaino, and by Putin himself, who has been touting it as the basis for "sustainable development" agenda since 2000 (APEC Summit, Brunei, Nov. 2000). web.archive.org/web/2018081003…
13/Jeffrey Sachs is director of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, which shares many ideas with the "Noospheric constitution" concept; he also consults w/Tsinghua University's Global Leadership Program in Beijing, directed by John Thornton. unsdgadvocates.org/jeffrey-sachs
14/John Thornton is former president of Goldman Sachs and is now president of Barrick Gold Corporation. He is also a colleague and noted fan of Steve Bannon, who is also ex-Goldman and familiar with China. alestiklal.net/en/view/11808/…
15/Foster Gamble, another purveyor of disinformation, outlined the strategy: form an alliance of BRICS countries to challenge the west. He says so explicitly in this video at a "free energy" conference in 2013. In the audience? Stone and QAnon promoter Lisa Clapier (Snow White).
16/Gamble specifically says (even then) the goal will be to challenge the dollar and introduce new currency backed by metals - "the beginning of the end of fiat currency." And in fact, this is Putin's plan today: metals-backed digital currency. coindesk.com/markets/2019/1…
17/Sacha Stone and Foster Gamble also collaborate with Sean Stone (son of Putin propagandist Oliver Stone). Here's Sacha and Sean talking about the end of state sovereignty; Sacha explicitly rejects the US constitution — "I don't venerate it."
18/Expect Musk, Thiel, West, Trump, Flynn, Bannon, and their network to light up in support of this agenda. Also Truss, etc. It's a global wrenching against central banks and perceived "communism." They're trying to end it globally like Sachs did in the USSR, enabling Putin.
19/This network cares little about institutions or politics; they aim to achieve through economic/info warfare that which cannot be achieved through politics. This is why they defy, defile, and denigrate institutions at every opportunity. They simply do not expect consequences.
20/We've got a serious problem on our hands, with deep roots. Russia and the GOP are the tip of the spear; China is the lever; Ukraine is a prelude to a much broader conflict. The US, UK, and each country has been engaged in navel-gazing worrying about its internal concerns..
21/instead of the bigger picture. This is the same failure to "connect dots" that preceded 9/11, and indeed this moment carries analogous themes and weight. But if we fail to address this, we will sleepwalk into a comparable disaster. Raise concern with your congressperson.
22/Media is catching on that a deliberate financial disaster is being hatched; but they don't know why or how, exactly, or the roots of this effort with Sachs, Stone, Gamble, Flynn, Bannon, Thornton, and their network. We need to close that gap. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…
23/The debt ceiling is also being used as a cudgel to cut budget for sending more aid to Ukraine. Much of the right-libertarian-owned GOP is, of course, Putin-aligned and will be happy to pursue this strategy to eliminate government and privatize... everything.
24/We don't have much time. The US election is in 20 days; the UK is in tatters; if GOP takes the house they can follow Sachs' "shock therapy" plan in January. Even if they don't it could be a dangerous showdown. And it will be in the context of increasing chaos.
25/If the whole media ecosystem takes this info and runs with it, we may have a shot at avoiding a major showdown and possible collapse. If, as usual, folks wring their hands and equivocate, we will not change course.
26/Fascists create a crisis so they can then "solve" it. Every student of fascism will tell you this is part of the playbook. Sachs and friends are pushing for collapse so a new "multipolar world order" can be ushered in.
27/It may seem counterintuitive that "capitalists" would expose themselves to such risk and losses. Think again. Fiat money is fake to them. See this quote from the 1934 coup attempt. Also, they can plan ahead for it, and profit from it. arcadiapublishing.com/Navigation/Com…
28/Peter Thiel is stocking up on gold bars, as is Russia. China has been nearly silent as this unfolds, and entered into an uneasy but seemingly durable alliance with Russia on February 4th. blockworks.co/palantir-buys-…
29/Sachs has collaborated with the "Dialog of Civilizations Research Institute," a thinktank founded by Putin crony Vladimir Yakunin and Nicholas Papanicolau funded by Russia and sponsored by China's CGTN. Papanicolau also heads SOSJ and is part of NAR. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialogue_…
30/Here is some more historical background on Prof. Sachs and his involvement in the Russia shock in the 1990's. Obviously we can't prove without more research what his intent is, but his associations and actions raise serious questions. nytimes.com/1993/06/27/mag…
31/I have reached out to Prof. Sachs for comment and he has so far not responded. There are several other relevant layers beyond this, but this is the most urgent threat we face. Obviously, any nuclear provocations would only make this all worse.
32/They are unlikely to turn back without being forcefully blocked, as the sunk costs in this plan are massive and go back a long time. I'll be continuing to add updates to this thread as new information becomes available. Meanwhile, please spread the word.
33/This is the connective tissue between many initiatives people are detecting and trying to map. I hope this helps with sense-making, and that we do something about it before it is too late. Looking back and saying "I told you so" will not be satisyfing. Let's fix it.
34/We are continuing to work on our long-form investigation and will publish it when it's ready. However due to the time sensitive nature of this information we didn't want to wait even one day to get it out to the world. Thanks for your ongoing support. DMs open.
35/As I expect my work will increasingly bring me into conflict with Elon Musk, and he may soon own this platform, please join my mailing list to continue to receive updates in the event of arbitrary or capricious changes here. 🙏 eepurl.com/iaHqiv
36/Update: I just heard back from someone in Prof. Sachs office with this statement: "He doesn't recall anything about this [Global Impact Forum] in 2012 or Sacha Stone." I don't find this to be credible, given that they worked together for at least 5 years.
Meant to include this screenshot on #27. Apologies!
Rest of thread below; not sure why it doesn't link through properly.
This seminal piece on what happened with Harvard economists in Russia is essential reading, and provides insights into people like Larry Summers, Andrei Schleifer, and Sachs. Many took part in the kleptocratic free-for-all that birthed the oligarchs.
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/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,
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.
