1/Re: RFK Jr, folks need to understand he is a serious problem. If he stays in the race as an independent, early polls indicate he draws more from Biden than from Trump, to the tune of ~5-7% vs. ~1%. So he has the potential to be a spoiler that gives Trump a win. 2/Second, he is being run by the same people that are running Trump, but appealing to an odd mix of older New-Age boomers and younger, online Musk acolytes. He will harm Biden, and Trump only minimally. And the Kennedy name is a prize they can't resist.

Putin is trying to complete a strategic takeover of the United States and use nuclear force to reorder the world. Every other current we observe is a means towards realizing that end. This is the realization of a KGB design that originated in ~1946. Whatever else you think is going on, I urge you to zoom out, adjust your assessment, and comprehend a reality that is so much worse.

1/To understand why RFK Jr is babbling about Aaron Rodgers, it's necessary to understand Rodgers' relationship with Shailene Woodley and her background at Standing Rock. In short, all one network of weirdos with cultic tendencies. 2/As you may know, Rodgers and Woodley were a thing. It appears to have had some effect on him.

1/🚨 Let me be clear: the people with actual power who are trying to take strategic control of the United States have no actual interest in Jesus or Christianity. Christian factions are being used as a means to an end. The goal is Noocracy, not theocracy. 2/Credulous Christian factions are going to be mighty surprised when they find out they got played. Do you think Putin or Musk or Trump care about Christianity? No. Religions are cults and get used in geopolitics as a means to an end. Doctrine is always subjugated by raw power.

1/Those interested in how the GOP was captured by the KGB/FSB should dig into Doug Burleigh’s longtime evangelism in Russia, going back to 1965. He is now head of the National Prayer Breakfast / “The Family.”

cjonline.com/story/news/pol… 2/Then dig into Doug Coe, long time head of the prayer breakfast / Fellowship Foundation / Family, who was palling around with the KGB’s Genrikh Borovik in the mid 1980’s with New Age “futurist” Barbara Marx Hubbard, and oil/gas prospector Paul N. Temple.

1/Noticing that there are two camps in US politics: those concerned primarily with institutional matters (laws, courts, process, elections, capture), and those concerned with cultural capture and breakdown (civil war, terror, mass delusion, occult hysteria, disinformation). 2/If we are going to survive intact, we need to be looking at BOTH of these phenomena simultaneously. To do otherwise will be to suffer a massive failure of imagination. Primarily, we should not pretend that institutional remedies (like elections) alone are sufficient.

1/Since the 1940s, the KGB has tried to co-opt and degrade US nuclear capacity, utilizing a wide range of people including Fuchs, Rosenbergs, Oppenheimer, Szilard, Einstein, and Teller. In various ways they were successful in gaining key information and eroding popular support… 2/for nuclear weapons and nuclear power in America. Their effort likely culminated in a spare bathroom in Florida, with a man who was on board with their nuclear plan at least as far back as 1987, through his uncle, John Trump, an MIT scientist.

1/Just riffing here, but I am beginning to wonder if Trump’s use of the pseudonym John Barron was not a subconscious tell. Barron wrote a wildly popular exposé of the work of KGB agents, reviewed in The NY Times in 1974.

2/Given Trump’s proclivities, affiliations, and general lack of imagination, it would not shock me that he was aware of this book (in fact it’d be weird if he wasn’t) and that when he was thinking “hmm.. how should I be sneaky and manipulative,” it floated into his subconscious.

1/Navalny's death is appalling and condemnable. We should be careful not to project Western frames onto the Russian mindset. It unreasonable to expect this to spark widespread revulsion against Putin's regime; for them, this is business as usual. And Navalny was a nationalist... 2/as well. While Westerners see him as a hero who stood up against a dictator (and he was that), Russians are likely to see it in more nuanced terms. And while Putin has made his regime fragile, it's perhaps more likely to be because of rival power centers and financial issues...

I concluded we would likely end up in nuclear war on February 5, 2017. I routed a message to my Congressman, Elijah Cummings, that day, and he called me as I landed on a tarmac in Riga, Latvia. I explained what we are dealing with now. It was too early. Now, here we are. This was an article I wrote at the time.

1/Reminder that this is what KGB brain thinks will and should happen to the United States, and they’re trying to manifest it now via vibes, treasonous retired generals, etc.

This is Igor Panarin’s map from 1998.

Image 2/Read more in this summary of his 2008 interview with the Wall Street Journal. (Original interview may be paywalled or inaccessible.) Anyway, this is an old KGB fantasy being flogged by traitors and fools. Arrest them all.

1/Re: the “this has happened before” trope which has been promoted by well-meaning folks like Rachel Maddow and others, please be careful! 🚨

It is tempting to mine history for parallels. While it is true that fascist networks have surged periodically in American history… 2/the implication that our current predicament has the same features as those past episodes is flawed.

Most dangerous is the assertion that we can simply vote our way out of this, and things will be okay again until the fascists come back at some future date.

1/In the 1950’s, the KGB used this organization to recruit scientists and other powerful people to its worldview. The basic idea, born out of the atomic bomb program, is that “scientists know better” than a democratically elected government.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_… 2/Coincidentally, this network was heavily linked to the CPUSA and KGB and the NCASP views tended to align with Kremlin views 99.999% of the time. The group received heavy attention from US counterintelligence, as shown in countless files at FBI and NARA.

1/Just want to say clearly for the record that the current UAP chatter is the remnant of a decades-old KGB disinformation operation and will be discredited like INFEKTION before it.

Whatever the facts are about other life in the universe, it won’t come from these people. 2/For those unfamiliar, please read up on INFEKTION and other operations like it. There are many, many examples, and the KGB spent countless sums seeding these stories.

1/As we enter into 2024, we would do well to note that those exercising maximum agency have taken the view that history is a meat grinder: action goes in and effects come out.

There are no ideologies, no sides, no institutions — just the accumulation and exercise of raw power. 2/America is caught in a vise fashioned from the populist right and the populist left, which together respond reflexively and predictably to actions taken by those with power. In this way, the US political machinery is now almost fully programmable via information warfare.

1/All of the Russia proxy voices are calling for “black swan” events in America in 2024. This is typical for this network, but the amplitude and frequency of those predictions is way up. 2/Why? To accelerate a collapse that can usher in a new banking system, maybe a civil war, and maybe a new Constitution. @4GWDOTDOTDOT explains further here. This is basic financial eschtalogy.

🚨 1/A colleague inquired with the US State Department via FOIA whether any security concerns were raised when Starlink was selected as a vendor for Ukraine internet in 2022. The response suggests that no vetting of any kind was performed.
dropbox.com/scl/fi/yeb3oua… 2/Rather, the (heavily redacted) response indicates that the process was done on the back of a Twitter exchange between Musk and Vice PM Fedorov.

Neither DoD nor NSC raised any red flags and moved ahead — with stunning credulity.

1/As ideological blocs break down, and internecine fighting is ignited, I encourage people to zoom out and consider that a “war of all against all” has been an explicit goal for various eschatological actors. It would be wise not to take the bait, whatever it might be. 2/This is Putin’s goal. Propagandist Vladislav Surkov outlined it in his story “Without Sky” years ago. A war of all against all.

1/Anyone who wants to deeply understand Trumpism, the red/brown alliance, and the Russian effort to undermine US power needs to study the 1948 presidential candidacy of Henry A. Wallace, and his relationship with mystic Nicholas Roerich.

2/Wallace was in the thrall of Roerich, who was born in Russia and enamored with various flavors of Eastern mysticism and pseudoscience. Wallace, who had ben Agriculture Secretary under FDR, allegedly called him "his guru."

1/Fun fact: Nobel laureate Linus Pauling wanted to launch a study of UFOs while at the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions — in 1964. However CSDI, based in Santa Barbara, was also crawling with Soviet influence.

2/Originally a spinoff of the Ford Foundation called "Fund for the Republic," CSDI became a vector for a variety of New Age and world federalist influences, funded by fortunes from both Ford and Xerox inventor, Chester Carlson. More here.

The concept of nation states is dysfunctional and maladaptive for our current situation and needs.

We’ll figure that out in the process of trying to salvage the existing structures, at the cost of potentially a few billion lives. Change is coming. The only question is whether it is managed with pluralistic democratic values, or autocratically by authoritarians. The choice is ours, but we have to talk about it.
