There is a certain point at which those who hunger for total control go after their opponents. The rise of Putin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Mussolini etc have all been analyzed and charted. The science of destroying democracy exists. A fake crisis awaits. georgetown.edu/news/major-cri…Image

Trump consistently promotes false narratives and crises. His last was a "stolen election," his latest is "migrants," allowing him to build the largest federal Gestapo in the world. A lawless rendition and imprisonment system. Remember his enemies list? nytimes.com/interactive/20…Image

Gaza about to get lit. Cancel your vacation plans. The tribes are pissed. This Israeli op is top of the list. Image Gaza is more than a strip of land. There are historic, geographic, political and transnational linkages. Israel is trying to hire clans and gangs like Yasser Abu Shabab's to stir things up. The clans are stirring back.

Excellent map on incidents:

There is about $120 Billion of Iran's money frozen in U.S. banks. Watch how Trump pretends to launder it through the Gulf to bulid reactors for Iran but watch how much goes to Russia to build them. How do I know this? cnn.com/2025/06/26/pol… I did a screed earlier today on how Iran's nuclear program has really been Russian since 2005. As of two weeks ago Russia also signed a deal to build eight new reactors for Iran worth $15 billion. Now hold on, I'm not done. powermag.com/russia-has-dea…

Since the media won't tell you, the Iranian Nuclear Program is actually a Russian nuclear program. Begun in 2005 and continued right up to where they helped remove the enriched Uranium and some of the equipment. armscontrol.org/act/2005-04/ir… Iran first tried to enrich Uranium in 2003 but has been consistently unable to create a nuclear bomb. The material comes from a single Russian-managed plant. But that will change "We have a contract with Russia to construct 8 nuclear power plants in Iran"

This is the "oppo" report on Trump from 2015. You will notice not much has changed in his ignorant rhetoric and ideas. His lack of intelligence and sophistication made the Dems confident he would never be elected. Read it. vox.com/2016/6/15/1194…Image There are links to every article. To be fair it's a document designed to show weakness in a candidate. Like this story from 2005. Trump was broke as a muthafukka and to squeeze his children for money. They didn't trust him. . nytimes.com/205/10/23/busi…Image

Trump is methodically and deliberately destroying America. Prove me wrong. bloomberg.com/news/features/… Trump has embraced the chaos theory in which those who create the chaos…profit. Much like the #1922Plan created by Tahnoon and Abu Dhabi. Investors driving confusion and being able to bet on the right side of the table.

Donny had just been in Moscow in July and here he is in Septermber. In October he would buy full page ads crapping on NATO. Dude's a slumlord from Queens why did he care? 1975: Donny and his dad worked hard to keep colored people out of their buildings. Now he wants to evict the Palestinians from their homes in Gaza. He and Jared see the potential for that ocean front property. Who created the monster known as Trump? Image

So the good news. Trump never had a plan to help Ukraine. Not one bullet. Not one bandage. Not one dollar. Putin said nothing about peace. Not one inch of land. Not one promise or suggestion. Zelensky was asked to be part of a charade. But Donny played his hand too soon. #ETTD Image The charade was an empty promise with the assumption that America would take part in exploiting Ukraine's resources based on 30 - 60-year Soviet guestimates. There is no accurate estimate of Ukraine's resources. American mining companies don't fight wars or even get insurance.

Donald Trump is obsessed about finding and destroying evidence in the U.S. intel and legal system that links him and his family to financial, criminal and espionage crimes. That evidence resides safely in the hands of European and Gulf intelligence agencies. Keep shredding. Image It's worth remembering that the UK first alerted our intel agencies about Donny's Russian links. Jared's secret slush funds from MBS beginning in 2017 were also hacked via his iPhone 7. It's why Donny has been going ape shit on the CIA and FBI since then. theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/a…

Understanding Hitler is the key to understanding Trump 2.0. We are in the propaganda and division stage. Leaning into the outrage. Hitler blamed the Jew. Trump blames DEI.

My thoughts for today; Let Donny roll. Incompetence at speed and scale is historically a healthy thing in the long run. Successful managers respect reality, inertia, logistics, limitations etc. Stupid people think bluster and bullshit trump homeostasis. That leads to... ...an inflection or pivot point. Stability is an enemy to change. Good and bad. Instability is an ideal landscape for change. Pro or con. Let Trump paralyze, terrorize and metastasize the government because it will draw forth change agents to battle his chaos agents.

Tip: Trump is embracing the Broligarch mantra of "disruption" as in, "move fast and break things." I call it "Smash, Grab and Run" because there are three endstates: 1) Payoffs for corrupt donors, 2) Legacy reshaping and 3) Protection of Trump familial wealth. Image Trump operates on three levels: 1) rapidly spewing outrage jibberish to keep the media chasing his laser pointer, 2) Echoing donor jingoism to pay bills, and 3) discussing deeply corrupt deals while abusing his office of President.

For those following the fires in California. Fire is a natural part of life here. Santana or devil winds are normal. Wood frame mansions on the edge of brush are common. November 6, 1961 was a similar event. Doesn't minimize the shock or sense of loss. lafire.com/famous_fires/1… This time we had the jet stream pushed too high. 30 degree variance between day and night. No rain so far (starts in mid-December). Winds out of season. Usually 3 days of hot dry winds from the desert in Sept/Nov. We had a lot of brush grow after two years of great rainfall. Image
