The provided text explores the concept of a "ruling elite" that allegedly steers states toward conflict and oppression. It heavily references Murray Rothbard's work, which identifies three distinct power blocs: the WASP elite, the Jewish elite, and the Rockefeller dynasty, each with their own economic foundations and political interests. The article suggests these blocs, while often competing, have collaborated to establish systems like the Federal Reserve and international dollar, and their interactions have influenced major historical events, including both World Wars and political assassinations. A significant portion of the text focuses on the "Jewish Question," arguing that the Jewish elite's unassimilated nature and historical role as intermediaries in exploitation services contribute to their powerful, often concealed, influence in global geopolitics, media, and finance, pushing for wars and a unipolar world order for their own interests. Ultimately, the author claims that this "Anglo-American-Zionist ruling elite" is driving current conflicts, including the Gaza conflict and tensions with Russia and China, despite the potential for nuclear war.
Key Takeaway Point 1: Point: Libertarians’ Jewish Dilemma Fuels Genocide and Nuclear War? by Geurt de Wit analyzes how states, led by an exploitative ruling elite, suppress populations and accumulate wealth, leading to potential nuclear conflict. Supporting Sentence 1: "From a libertarian standpoint, the world is dominated by states that oppress their populations through breaches of the non-aggression principle." Supporting Sentence 2: "These states are steered by an exploitative ruling elite, which privatizes profits while socializing losses, accumulating ever-increasing wealth through cartels and by generating money from thin air with fiat currency."
Key Takeaway Point 2: Point: The ruling elite maintains its power and control over financial systems by exploiting people politically, economically, and culturally, and through wars. Supporting Sentence 1: "To sustain its political dominance and control of the money machine, this elite exploits people politically (curtailing self-ownership and property rights), economically (through taxation and cartels), and culturally (via indoctrination and censorship)." Supporting Sentence 2: "They safeguard its interests through wars that are now poised to lead to nuclear conflict and global annihilation."
Key Takeaway Point 3: Point: Exposing the ruling elite and its machinations is presented as a straightforward solution to halt exploitation and prevent nuclear annihilation. Supporting Sentence 1: "One straightforward solution exists to halt exploitation and avert nuclear annihilation: expose the ruling elite and its machinations." Supporting Sentence 2: "Their actions are so egregious that exposure would curb warmongering."
Key Takeaway Point 4: Point: The power of the ruling elite relies on the democratic state and its ability to deceive the public into supporting its policies and wars. Supporting Sentence 1: "The elite’s power depends on the democratic state and its ability to deceive the public into supporting its policies and wars." Supporting Sentence 2: "By exposing the ruling elite, public opposition could halt, or at least slow, the state’s expansion into a global warfare-police state."
Key Takeaway Point 5: Point: Halting the state's expansion through wars can lead to its inherent inclination to shrink through decentralization and secession. Supporting Sentence 1: "Prospects for improvement could grow even stronger: the state’s inherent inclination to shrink through decentralization and secession becomes evident when its expansion via wars and the accompanying ratchet effect halts." Supporting Sentence 2: "Ultimately, war serves as the lifeblood of the state, while peace acts as its poison."
Key Takeaway Point 6: Point: Despite the clear need to unveil the ruling elite, libertarian economists and historians often hesitate due to political correctness and career concerns, with Murray Rothbard being a notable exception. Supporting Sentence 1: "Unveiling the ruling elite seems a straightforward task for libertarian economists and historians, yet they hesitate, daunted by the specter of political correctness and potential career setbacks." Supporting Sentence 2: "A singular notable exception arises: the libertarian scholar Murray Rothbard, who painstakingly outlined methods for analyzing the ruling elite."
Key Takeaway Point 7: Point: Analyses of the ruling elite and their interlocking interests are frequently dismissed as "conspiracy theories" by establishment figures, including some libertarians. Supporting Sentence 1: "Anytime that a hard-nosed analysis is put forth of who our rulers are, of how their political and economic interests interlock, it is invariably denounced by Establishment liberals and conservatives (and even by many libertarians) as a “conspiracy theory of history,” “paranoid,” “economic determinist,” and even “Marxist”." Supporting Sentence 2: "For it is vital to the continued rule of the State apparatus that it have legitimacy and even sanctity in the eyes of the public, and it is vital to that sanctity that our politicians and bureaucrats be deemed to be disembodied spirits solely devoted to the “public good”."
Key Takeaway Point 8: Point: "Conspiracy analysis" is presented as a praxeological approach, assuming people act purposively to achieve goals, rather than events being random. Supporting Sentence 1: "Far from being a paranoid or a determinist, the conspiracy analyst is a praxeologist; that is, he believes that people act purposively, that they make conscious choices to employ means in order to arrive at goals." Supporting Sentence 2: "It is the opponents of “conspiracy” analysis who profess to believe that all events—at least in government—are random and unplanned, and that therefore people do not engage in purposive choice and planning."
Key Takeaway Point 9: Point: Bad conspiracy analysis can err by solely focusing on who benefits without verifying responsibility or by assuming a single, overarching conspiracy controls all power blocs. Supporting Sentence 1: "The bad conspiracy analyst tends to make two kinds of mistakes, which indeed leave him open to the Establishment charge of “paranoia”." Supporting Sentence 2: "Instead of seeing that there are several power blocs trying to gain control of government, sometimes in conflict and sometimes in alliance, he has to assume—again without evidence—that a small group of men controls them all, and only seems to send them into conflict."
Key Takeaway Point 10: Point: Murray Rothbard distinguished himself by recognizing three distinct power blocs within the ruling elite, while other analysts often focused on only one. Supporting Sentence 1: "Only Murray Rothbard recognized—or dared to acknowledge—the existence of three distinct and almost equally powerful power blocs that occasionally collaborated but also clashed with one another." Supporting Sentence 2: "For instance, Carroll Quigley concentrated solely on the WASPs, Eustace Mullins on the Jewish elite, and Gary Allen on the Rockefellers."
Key Takeaway Point 11: Point: Rothbard, as a Jewish scholar, downplayed the Jewish component of the ruling elite but still revealed their role by referencing families like the Rothschilds and Kuhn-Loeb. Supporting Sentence 1: "However, as a Jewish scholar, Rothbard, like many prominent Jewish libertarians, tended to downplay the Jewish component within the ruling elite." Supporting Sentence 2: "Thus arose his seminal exposé, Wall Street, Banks, and American Foreign Policy, which did not include the J-word but still managed to elucidate the ruling elite’s evolution throughout the twentieth century until the 1980s."
Key Takeaway Point 12: Point: Rothbard identified three ethnic power blocs within the ruling elite: the WASP Elite, the Jewish elite, and the Rockefeller Dynasty. Supporting Sentence 1: "Rothbard delineated three ethnic power blocks within the ruling elite." Supporting Sentence 2: "WASP Elite, split into two distinct branches... The Jewish elite, led by the Rothschilds... Rockefeller Dynasty’s oil money gave it great power in the Republican party."
Key Takeaway Point 13: Point: The WASP elite has two branches: a British-Commonwealth faction and an American faction, maintaining alliances with Dutch royalty and multinational businesses. Supporting Sentence 1: "WASP Elite, split into two distinct branches: the British-Commonwealth (notably Canada, Australia, and New Zealand) faction, driven by royals, aristocrats, Round Table movement and the City of London, and the American faction, guided by the Boston Brahmins and the House of Morgan." Supporting Sentence 2: "The WASP elite sustains a tight alliance with Dutch royalty, multinational banks (ABN Amro) and businesses (Shell) and the historic New Amsterdam elite."
Key Takeaway Point 14: Point: The Jewish elite, led by the Rothschilds, established a formidable network through strategic intermarriages with other distinguished Jewish dynasties and proxy families. Supporting Sentence 1: "The Jewish elite, led by the Rothschilds who have forged a formidable network through strategic intermarriages with distinguished Jewish dynasties, including the Barent-Cohens, Montefioris, and Sassoons." Supporting Sentence 2: "The Rothschilds later leveraged American Jewish proxy dynasties, including the Belmonts and Kuhn-Loebs who then intermarried with the Schiffs and Warburgs."
Key Takeaway Point 15: Point: The Rockefeller Dynasty gained power through oil money and formed matrimonial and proxy ties with other influential families and political figures. Supporting Sentence 1: "Rockefeller Dynasty’s oil money gave it great power in the Republican party." Supporting Sentence 2: "Additionally, the Rockefellers established proxy dynasties, including the Harrimans and Walkers (aligned with Democrats) and the Bushes and Trumps (aligned with Republicans)."
Key Takeaway Point 16: Point: Each power block is a loose collection of dynasties with distinct foundations and banking networks, historically controlling specific major banks. Supporting Sentence 1: "Each power block is a loose collection of dynasties but sustains distinct ethnic, cultural and economic foundations and banking networks." Supporting Sentence 2: "The WASP elite, anchored in the City of London, historically dominated Barings bank in Britain and J.P. Morgan bank in America."
Key Takeaway Point 17: Point: The Rockefeller dynasty controlled Citibank and Chase Manhattan, while Jewish elites managed Rothschild banks in Europe and several prominent American banks. Supporting Sentence 1: "The two branches of the Rockefeller dynasty controlled Citibank and Chase Manhattan." Supporting Sentence 2: "Jewish elites managed Rothschild banks in Europe and Belmont, Kuhn-Loeb, Lehman, and Goldman Sachs banks in America."
Key Takeaway Point 18: Point: These three dynastic power blocks have remained distinct but collectively govern the United States as a power cartel, collaborating on major financial and military initiatives. Supporting Sentence 1: "Rothbard notes that although banks and industries have evolved and some have even merged, these three dynastic power blocks have remained distinct and collectively governed the United States as a power cartel." Supporting Sentence 2: "They have collaborated to establish the Federal Reserve and the international dollar system, harnessing the American military-industrial complex to counter nations that challenge its dominance."
Key Takeaway Point 19: Point: The Morgan and Rockefeller financial aggregations, though often clashing, were unified in their support for a central bank. Supporting Sentence 1: "Although these two financial blocs usually clashed with each other, they were as one on the need for a central bank." Supporting Sentence 2: "Even though the eventual major role in forming and dominating the Federal Reserve System was taken by the Morgans, the Rockefeller and Kuhn, Loeb forces were equally enthusiastic in pushing, and collaborating on, what they all considered to be an essential monetary reform."
Key Takeaway Point 20: Point: American political history from the late nineteenth century to World War II can be interpreted by the alignment of administrations with either the Morgan or Rockefeller financial groupings. Supporting Sentence 1: "Indeed, much of the political history of the United States from the late nineteenth century until World War II may be interpreted by the closeness of each administration to one of these sometimes cooperating, more often conflicting, financial groupings." Supporting Sentence 2: "Cleveland (Morgan), McKinley (Rockefeller), Theodore Roosevelt (Morgan), Taft (Rockefeller), Wilson (Morgan), Harding (Rockefeller), Coolidge (Morgan), Hoover (Morgan), and Franklin Roosevelt (Harriman–Kuhn, Loeb–Rockefeller)."
Key Takeaway Point 21: Point: Tensions between the ruling elite power blocks peaked during World War I, requiring resolution before U.S. entry. Supporting Sentence 1: "Tensions peaked during World War I, as the Morgans supported the Entente of Britain, France, and the Russian Tsar against the Central Powers, while Jewish elites and Rockefellers opposed aligning with their adversary, the Tsar." Supporting Sentence 2: "This dispute was resolved by overthrowing the Tsar with Jewish and communist assistance in the February Revolution, enabling U.S. entry into the First World War once the three ruling elite groups concurred."
Key Takeaway Point 22: Point: World War II is characterized as a "coalition war" where the Morgan and Rockefeller blocs achieved their respective war objectives in Europe and Asia. Supporting Sentence 1: "World War II might therefore be considered, from one point of view, as a coalition war: the Morgans got their war in Europe, the Rockefellers theirs in Asia." Supporting Sentence 2: "During the 1930s, the Rockefellers pushed hard for war against Japan... The Morgans, in contrast, as usual deeply committed to their financial ties with Britain and France, once again plumped early for war with Germany."
Key Takeaway Point 23: Point: Following World War II, the Rockefellers became the dominant force in the "Eastern Establishment," with other groups becoming junior partners. Supporting Sentence 1: "After World War II, the .. new prominence of oil made the Rockefellers the dominant force in the political and financial Eastern Establishment." Supporting Sentence 2: "Since World War II, indeed, the various financial interests have entered into a permanent realignment: the Morgans and the other financial groups have taken their place as compliant junior partners in a powerful “Eastern Establishment,” led unchallenged by the Rockefellers."
Key Takeaway Point 24: Point: The ruling elite's power is not absolute and constantly faces new competition from both foreign and domestic sources, such as "Cowboy" Sun Belt firms. Supporting Sentence 1: "Rothbard never asserted that the ruling elite possesses absolute power." Supporting Sentence 2: "“Cowboy” Sun Belt firms, maverick oil men and construction men from Texas, Florida, and southern California, began to challenge the Eastern Establishment “Yankees” for political power."
Key Takeaway Point 25: Point: When politicians resist the ruling elite, "lone nut" assassinations may occur with the acquiescence of other power blocs. Supporting Sentence 1: "Rothbard noted that when a politician or political dynasty resists or goes completely independent, a “lone nut” assassin may emerge, but only with the acquiescence of other ruling elite power blocks." Supporting Sentence 2: "John F. Kennedy; Malcolm X; Martin Luther King; Robert F. Kennedy; and now George Corley Wallace: the litany of political assassinations and attempts in the last decade rolls on."
Key Takeaway Point 26: Point: Assassination victims often share the characteristic of being important anti-Establishment figures with charismatic capacity to mobilize the public. Supporting Sentence 1: "For all of the victims have had one thing in common: all were, to a greater or lesser extent, important anti-Establishment figures, and, what is more were men with the charismatic capacity to mobilize large sections of the populace against our rulers." Supporting Sentence 2: "All therefore constituted “populist” threats against the ruling elite, especially if we focus on the mainstream “right- center” wing of the ruling classes."
Key Takeaway Point 27: Point: Murray Rothbard's peculiar alliances and shifts across the political spectrum were driven by his belief that wars are the lifeblood of the state and halting them would strengthen social power. Supporting Sentence 1: "Rothbard has been labeled a political opportunist due to the peculiar alliances he forged throughout his career, spanning from the far left to the extreme right." Supporting Sentence 2: "Rothbard held that wars—both hot and cold—serve as the lifeblood of the state."
Key Takeaway Point 28: Point: In the 1990s, Rothbard became more direct in his criticism, focusing on the increasing influence of Jewish neoconservatives and their warmongering. Supporting Sentence 1: "It also clarifies why, in the 1990s, Rothbard grew increasingly unrestrained, incensed by the mounting influence of the Jews and the Jewish neoconservatives’ relentless warmongering even after the Soviet Union’s collapse." Supporting Sentence 2: "At this juncture, Rothbard finally became more forthright."
Key Takeaway Point 29: Point: The composition of the Republican Eastern Establishment changed after the 1970s, with neocon-Wall Street forces joining and eventually achieving primacy over the Rockefeller World Empire. Supporting Sentence 1: "The composition of the Republican Eastern Establishment, however, has changed over the decades." Supporting Sentence 2: "From World War II until the 1970s, they consisted of the Rockefeller World Empire; since the late 1970s, however, the RWE has been joined by the neocon-Wall Street forces."
Key Takeaway Point 30: Point: Neoconservatives successfully achieved primacy over their Rockefeller allies in dominating the Republican party, even orchestrating the downfall of President George H.W. Bush. Supporting Sentence 1: "In fact, the neocons have successfully achieved primacy over their Rockefeller allies in dominating the Republican party." Supporting Sentence 2: "Baker, as Secretary of State, was stabbed in the back by fellow Cabinet member Jack Kemp and the neocons for what they deemed insufficient devotion to the State of Israel, which was the major reason-and not his tax increase-for the neocon knifing of Bush in 1992 and their overt as well as covert support for Bill Clinton."
Key Takeaway Point 31: Point: Rothbard initiated his "paleolibertarian turn to the right" by aligning with paleoconservatives due to his opposition to the neocon push for wars to expand Israel. Supporting Sentence 1: "Rothbard was so opposed to the neocon push for wars to expand Israel and combat antisemitism that he initiated his paleolibertarian drastic “turn to the right” by aligning with paleoconservatives under attack from Jewish-led neocons." Supporting Sentence 2: "Rothbard defended Patrick Buchanan against antisemitism charges and even spoke favorably of critics like David Duke, arguing America’s issue was not antisemitism but excessive anti-antisemitism."
Key Takeaway Point 32: Point: Despite increasing aggression by the ruling elite in instigating wars, no scholar has pursued Rothbard's rigorous examination of this group since his death. Supporting Sentence 1: "Since Rothbard’s death, no scholar—libertarian or otherwise—has pursued his rigorous examination of the ruling elite, a striking oversight given the elite’s increasing aggression in instigating wars through deception and false flags." Supporting Sentence 2: "A clear genocide is unfolding in Gaza, while wars rage across Europe and the Middle East, risking nuclear escalation."
Key Takeaway Point 33: Point: A fear of acknowledging Jewish influence is cited as the reason for silence among libertarians regarding the ruling elite and its wars. Supporting Sentence 1: "The rationale behind this silence is evident: fear of acknowledging Jewish influence." Supporting Sentence 2: "This is scarcely surprising, considering that, alongside Rothbard, numerous prominent libertarians—Ludwig von Mises, Ayn Rand, Milton Friedman, David Friedman, David Gordon and Walter Block—are Jewish, along with many others."
Key Takeaway Point 34: Point: Jewish dominance within libertarian institutions and among their funders is said to stifle open discourse about the ruling elite. Supporting Sentence 1: "Furthermore, Jewish dominance within libertarian institutions and among their funders stifles open discourse." Supporting Sentence 2: "All this creates a curious paradox: The people best equipped to study and expose the ruling elite remain the most silent."
Key Takeaway Point 35: Point: The Jewish elite is considered the "elephant in the libertarian room" in discussions of the ruling elite, with some libertarians attributing issues to Zionism instead. Supporting Sentence 1: "The Jewish elite are clearly the elephant in the libertarian room, unmentioned when analyzing the ruling elite." Supporting Sentence 2: "To maintain conscience and credibility, many libertarians resort to a compromise, attributing issues to Zionism rather than elite Jews."
Key Takeaway Point 36: Point: The unique intelligence and ethnocentricity of elite Jews, coupled with their long history of non-assimilation across borders, are proposed as explanations for their influence. Supporting Sentence 1: "One must rather search for the explanation in the unique intelligence and ethnocentricity of elite Jews, who, for millennia, have enjoyed the remarkable privilege of crossing borders and residing in various nations with minimal assimilation." Supporting Sentence 2: "Among diaspora groups, Jews alone have maintained their distinct identity over thousands of years without assimilating."
Key Takeaway Point 37: Point: The Jewish elite is characterized as remaining aloof and adversarial within host societies, subtly undermining local cultures and manipulating political structures for self-preservation. Supporting Sentence 1: "Unassimilated for thousands of years, Jews remain aloof and adversarial within host societies, subtly undermining local cultures as if guided by an invisible hand." Supporting Sentence 2: "Similarly, an unintegrated, adversarial teenager adopted into a family would likely pit members against each other to gain influence."
Key Takeaway Point 38: Point: Historically, elite Jewish groups were granted privileges to immigrate by serving as exploitative intermediaries for ruling elites, potentially being pivotal in the emergence of Western statism. Supporting Sentence 1: "Historically, elite Jewish groups were granted unique privileges to immigrate in exchange of serving as exploitative intermediaries between ruling elites and the populace—roles such as slave traders, tax farmers, monopoly bankers, monopolist merchants and state advisors." Supporting Sentence 2: "They may have been pivotal in the emergence and expansion of Western statism following the Roman Empire’s collapse, countering the decentralizing tendencies of Germanic and Celtic societies through financial and administrative support to medieval states."
Key Takeaway Point 39: Point: While libertarians attribute the European Miracle to decentralization, they overlook the Jewish elite's potential role in statism ultimately prevailing over decentralist forces. Supporting Sentence 1: "Libertarians like Ralph Raico and Hans-Hermann Hoppe attribute the European Miracle—marked by greater freedom and the Industrial Revolution—to political decentralization, enabling mobility of people and capital." Supporting Sentence 2: "However, they overlook why statism ultimately always prevailed over natural decentralist and secessionist forces."
Key Takeaway Point 40: Point: In a statist system, providers of "exploitation services," like the alien Jewish elite in the Middle Ages, seek the highest price from rulers. Supporting Sentence 1: "Under statism, providers of exploitation services seek the highest price, whereas victims influence prices only through active or passive resistance." Supporting Sentence 2: "During the Middle Ages, the alien Jewish elite offered services, such as slave trading, tax farming, monopoly banking, monopoly trade, tariff collection, regulation enforcement, war financing and intelligence networks to ruling elites."
Key Takeaway Point 41: Point: The Jewish elite refined the "formula for state formation" by persistently exploring strategies in various jurisdictions when resistance grew, leading nearly all rulers to employ a "Hofjude" (court Jew). Supporting Sentence 1: "When population resistance grew too formidable, eroding profits, the Jewish elite could persistently explore new strategies in various jurisdictions until they refined the formula for state formation." Supporting Sentence 2: "Ultimately, nearly all rulers found it essential to have their own Hofjude (court Jew) to remain competitive with their peers."
Key Takeaway Point 42: Point: In a natural order, culturally hostile and unassimilable groups would not be permitted to immigrate or offer exploitation services. Supporting Sentence 1: "In a natural order characterized by liberty and voluntary cooperation, culturally hostile and unassimilable groups are not permitted to immigrate." Supporting Sentence 2: "In a natural order, hostile and non-assimilable groups would not be permitted to shop around offering exploitation services, particularly since the populace would strongly reject such conduct."
Key Takeaway Point 43: Point: The Jewish elite navigated various regions, leveraging Muslim countries as operational bases, to refine the blueprint for state formation, imperiling Christian countries. Supporting Sentence 1: "However, the alien Jewish elite managed to navigate various regions, refining the blueprint for state formation by leveraging Muslim countries as their operational base." Supporting Sentence 2: "Christian countries were thus imperiled by aliens from within and without, undermining the natural forces of decentralization and secession."
Key Takeaway Point 44: Point: The Jewish elite persisted in developing fractional reserve banking, overcoming Catholic Church restrictions by supporting Protestants, and establishing the Bank of England. Supporting Sentence 1: "Similarly, in developing the fractional reserve banking scheme, which generated money ex nihilo—effectively devaluing existing currency—the Jewish elite persisted until they found an effective model." Supporting Sentence 2: "Subsequently, the Jewish elite funded the so-called Glorious Revolution in England, aiding the establishment of WASP governance and the fractional reserve-based Bank of England."
Key Takeaway Point 45: Point: The Jewish and WASP elites have maintained a symbiotic partnership within the largely autonomous City of London since the establishment of the Bank of England. Supporting Sentence 1: "Since that time, the Jewish and WASP elite have sustained a symbiotic partnership within the largely autonomous City of London." Supporting Sentence 2: "Aiding the growth of a predatory state is very profitable but perilous."
Key Takeaway Point 46: Point: The Jewish elite historically relied on the state not only for privileges but also for authority over ordinary Jews, effectively running a totalitarian "mini-state" within the community. Supporting Sentence 1: "The state empowered the Jewish elite, who, as its allies, historically depended on it not only for financial and other privileges but also for authority over ordinary Jews." Supporting Sentence 2: "In effect, the state helped the Jewish elite to run their own mini-state."
Key Takeaway Point 47: Point: The traditional Jewish way of life, as described by Walter Block, is totalitarian due to its extensive rules and regulations, contrasting sharply with libertarian principles. Supporting Sentence 1: "The dominion of Jewish rulers—rabbis and prominent merchants who controlled the kahal—was totalitarian, as the highly ritualistic nature of Jewish law imposed myriad restrictions on individual liberty, concentrating power and wealth in the hands of the rabbinical and financial elite." Supporting Sentence 2: "Judaism, in contrast, has no fewer than 613 different rules and regulations, covering virtually all conceivable aspects of life."
Key Takeaway Point 48: Point: Ordinary Jews were caught between the dominant Jewish elite and a hostile Christian populace, becoming pawns in a statist game and enduring massacres. Supporting Sentence 1: "Caught between this dominant elite and a hostile Christian populace, the ordinary Jew had little choice; while conversion and assimilation offered a potential escape, the Jewish community would sever all ties with the convert, leaving obedience to the elite as the only viable path." Supporting Sentence 2: "In essence, the Jewish elite privatized profits while externalizing costs, forcing ordinary Jews to act as pawns in a statist game, occasionally enduring attacks, pogroms, and other massacres incited by the aggrieved host population."
Key Takeaway Point 49: Point: Having facilitated statism, Jewish elites sought to control the state to prevent betrayal, using their money and media power to undermine traditional values and White conservative leadership. Supporting Sentence 1: "Having facilitated statism and especially state capitalism through state service, Jewish elites sought to control the state to prevent its betrayal, a natural response to historical risks." Supporting Sentence 2: "In Western nations and especially in the US, they used their money power to gain media power and further employ divide et impera tactics, forming coalitions of minorities to undermine traditional values and White conservative leadership as Kevin MacDonald details in his Culture of Critique trilogy."
Key Takeaway Point 50: Point: Jewish elites pursued geopolitical dominance through proxies, influencing U.S. and British foreign policy by leveraging support for political parties. Supporting Sentence 1: "Jewish elites needed to extend their influence further, as dominating a few states was insufficient when others could unite against them, as occurred in the 1930’s during the Great Depression and again in the 1940’s during Israel’s founding." Supporting Sentence 2: "Political parties, focused on domestic power, readily delegated foreign policy to Jewish elites in exchange for support as John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt detail in Israel Lobby and American Foreign Policy."
Key Takeaway Point 51: Point: The assassination of JFK is seen as a pivotal moment that significantly strengthened the Jewish elite's position within the ruling elite. Supporting Sentence 1: "The pivotal moment appears to be the assassination of JFK, which significantly strengthened the Jewish elite’s position within the ruling elite." Supporting Sentence 2: "In his later review of Oliver Stone’s movie, JFK, Rothbard reiterated that the assassination was a clear false flag and a coordinated coalition effort, as Kennedy opposed the ruling elite’s imperialist wars."
Key Takeaway Point 52: Point: The JFK assassination was allegedly driven by elite Jewish outrage over Kennedy's efforts against the Jewish lobby and Israel's nuclear program, orchestrated by Jewish leaders. Supporting Sentence 1: "However, Rothbard did not disclose that the assassination was significantly driven by elite Jewish outrage over Kennedy’s efforts to register the Jewish lobby and block Israel’s nuclear program." Supporting Sentence 2: "While the entire ruling elite was involved, Jewish leaders orchestrated the operation, meticulously planning and rehearsing it in the safety of Israel."
Key Takeaway Point 53: Point: The Lyndon Johnson presidency saw Rockefeller-backed wars in Asia and Jewish-supported wars in the Middle East, including the sanctioned Israeli assault on the USS Liberty. Supporting Sentence 1: "Predictably, Lyndon Johnson’s coalition-led presidency sparked Rockefeller-backed wars in Asia and Jewish-supported wars in the Middle East." Supporting Sentence 2: "He even sanctioned the Israeli assault on the USS Liberty, resulting in American losses."
Key Takeaway Point 54: Point: In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Jewish elite challenged the Rockefellers for senior partnership, aiming to shift the military-industrial complex's focus to the Middle East. Supporting Sentence 1: "In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Jewish elite challenged the Rockefellers, seeking to assume the role of senior partner within the ruling elite by initiating the cultural revolution and opposing the Vietnam War and the military-industrial complex." Supporting Sentence 2: "Their actual aim was simply to shift its focus from Asia to the Middle East."
Key Takeaway Point 55: Point: Stability was reestablished during the Yom Kippur War when Rockefellers saved Israel, negotiated a petrodollar agreement, and allied with China, subsequently facilitating Nixon's removal. Supporting Sentence 1: "However, stability was reestablished during the Yom Kippur War when the Rockefellers harnessed the strength of the American military-industrial complex to save Israel, negotiated a petrodollar agreement with Jewish, WASP, and Saudi elites and forged a de facto alliance with China." Supporting Sentence 2: "Subsequently, to further placate Jewish interests, they facilitated the removal of President Nixon, deemed “anti-Semitic”."
Key Takeaway Point 56: Point: The Jewish elite was angered by the Rockefellers' peaceful relations with the Soviet Union after the Yom Kippur War, leading them to plan the Soviet Union's dismantlemen. Supporting Sentence 1: "The Jewish elite was shocked by the near-collapse of Israel during the Yom Kippur War, strengthened by Soviet backing of Arab states." Supporting Sentence 2: "This ignited their fury when the Rockefellers cultivated peaceful relations with the Soviet Union, incorporating it into the oil cartel and granting substantial loans to prop up its regime."
Key Takeaway Point 57: Point: The plan to dismantle the Soviet Union involved the City of London becoming a money laundering hub, backing non-OPEC oil, intensifying the arms race, and subverting the USSR from within. Supporting Sentence 1: "In retaliation, the Jewish elite, led notably by the Rothschilds, crafted a plan to dismantle the Soviet Union: First, they partnered with the WASP elite to position the City of London as the hub of a vast money laundering and elite tax-free network, exploiting the vestiges of Britain’s colonial empire." Supporting Sentence 2: "Second, leveraging their media influence, the elite Jews championed neocons and helped Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher to intensify the arms race."
Key Takeaway Point 58: Point: The Soviet Union's collapse was a collaborative effort, with the Jewish elite creating oligarchs who plundered Russia's resources, which suited the Rockefellers by crippling the oil industry. Supporting Sentence 1: "The plan unfolded with precision." Supporting Sentence 2: "This, too, was a collaborative effort: the Jewish elite rejoiced in creating several Jewish oligarchs who plundered Russia’s natural resources, plunging the economy into chaos—a scenario that suited the Rockefellers, as it crippled the oil industry and sharply reduced Russian output."
Key Takeaway Point 59: Point: The First Gulf War exhibited coalition tactics, with the Jewish elite aiming to neutralize Saddam Hussein and the Rockefellers seeking to limit Iraq's oil production. Supporting Sentence 1: "This same coalition tactic was at play during the First Gulf War, where the Jewish elite sought to neutralize their foe, Saddam Hussein, while the Rockefellers aimed to limit Iraq’s oil production." Supporting Sentence 2: "This compromise accounts for why Saddam remained in power post-war, offering a justification for sanctions that restrained Iraq’s oil output."
Key Takeaway Point 60: Point: By the 1990s, the ruling elite had secured hegemony, establishing a unipolar world order with Wall Street and the City of London as guarantors. Supporting Sentence 1: "The ruling elite had finally secured hegemony, establishing a unipolar world order where David Rockefeller and Jacob Rothschild, together with Wall Street and the City of London, functioned as its guarantors." Supporting Sentence 2: "In the 1990s, Jewish-led neoconservatives and neoliberals wielded significant influence within the Clinton administration."
Key Takeaway Point 61: Point: The Jewish elite sought global regime changes to eradicate anti-Semitism, requiring a catalytic event akin to Pearl Harbor. Supporting Sentence 1: "Yet, for the Jewish elite, this hegemony was insufficient, as they sought to eradicate the persistent specter of anti-Semitism and pursued an ambitious series of global regime changes." Supporting Sentence 2: "This necessitated a catalytic event akin to Pearl Harbor."
Key Takeaway Point 62: Point: Mossad orchestrated the 9/11 attacks with CIA and MI6 assistance to create a pretext for the War on Terror, protecting petrodollar interests and Israel's objectives. Supporting Sentence 1: "Employing coalition tactics reminiscent of the JFK assassination, Mossad orchestrated the 9/11 attacks with assistance from the CIA and MI6, creating a pretext for the War on Terror." Supporting Sentence 2: "This campaign protected the petrodollar, Rockefeller oil interests, and especially Israel’s geostrategic objectives."
Key Takeaway Point 63: Point: The War on Terror is seen as a three-way effort by the "Anglo-American-Zionist ruling elite" to strengthen their hegemony. Supporting Sentence 1: "The War on Terror is evidently a three-way affair through which the Anglo-American-Zionist ruling elite further strengthens their hegemony." Supporting Sentence 2: "The ruling elite remains evidently active."
Key Takeaway Point 64: Point: The three major power blocs agreed to eliminate Iraq's Hussein and Libya's Gaddafi, who had become uncontrollable and exposed elite machinations. Supporting Sentence 1: "The three major power blocs—Rockefellers, WASPs, and the Jewish elite—unanimously agreed to first eliminate Iraq’s Hussein in the Second Gulf War." Supporting Sentence 2: "After that they decided to take out Libya’s Gaddafi, who had become uncontrollable."
Key Takeaway Point 65: Point: The power blocs were less aligned on overthrowing Syria's Assad due to unwillingness from Rockefellers, WASPs, Russia, and China to grant Israel unchecked dominance. Supporting Sentence 1: "However, they were less aligned regarding Syria’s Assad." Supporting Sentence 2: "This reluctance likely arose from the Rockefellers, WASPs, Russia, and China’s shared unwillingness to grant Israel unchecked dominance in the Middle East."
Key Takeaway Point 66: Point: Israel, through neoconservatives, orchestrated a coup in Ukraine with fascist and Nazi support, countered by Putin's intervention in Syria. Supporting Sentence 1: "In response, Israel, through neoconservatives, orchestrated a coup in Ukraine with support from fascists and Nazis." Supporting Sentence 2: "Putin countered with Russian intervention in Syria, which infuriated Israel, particularly since David Rockefeller, prioritizing geopolitical balance, seemed to tolerate Russia’s involvement."
Key Takeaway Point 67: Point: David Rockefeller's death in 2017 emboldened the Jewish elite to violate the Minsk accords and retaliate against China via Hong Kong protests. Supporting Sentence 1: "The Minsk accords briefly stabilized the situation, but David Rockefeller’s death in 2017 emboldened the Jewish elite to act decisively." Supporting Sentence 2: "Together with neocons they pushed the West to flagrantly violate the Minsk accords and retaliated against China by orchestrating the Western-backed Hong Kong protests of 2019–2020."
Key Takeaway Point 68: Point: Russia and China have formed a robust geopolitical alliance, bolstered by proxies like North Korea and Iran's Shia Crescent network. Supporting Sentence 1: "More troubling for the Jewish elite, Russia and China forged a robust geopolitical alliance, bolstered by proxies such as nuclear-armed North Korea and Iran’s Shia Crescent network, encompassing Hezbollah in Lebanon, Alawites in Syria, the Mahdi Army in Iraq, and Houthis in Yemen." Supporting Sentence 2: "However, Xi Jinping maintained control, and criticism of the Jewish elite’s influence has intensified under his leadership, as evidenced by the increasing popularity of the Currency Wars trilogy."
Key Takeaway Point 69: Point: The ruling elite is steadfast in safeguarding its financial system, fueling a globalist police-warfare state, but Russia and China only seek equal partnership, not to supplant the system. Supporting Sentence 1: "The ruling elite remains steadfast in safeguarding its financial system (“global money machine”), anchored by the Federal Reserve and the petrodollar." Supporting Sentence 2: "Their sole aim is to secure equal partnership within the ruling elite and thus obtain security guarantees."
Key Takeaway Point 70: Point: The Zionism of the Jewish elite complicates geopolitics by seeking ultimate dominance, Greater Israel, and resisting assimilation, which the Rockefellers and WASPs resist. Supporting Sentence 1: "Thus, the Zionism of the Jewish elite complicates geopolitics by pursuing ultimate dominance, not only to establish a Greater Israel in the Middle East by committing genocide but also to encourage Diaspora Jews to resist assimilation by weakening the cohesion of host nations." Supporting Sentence 2: "While the Rockefellers and WASPs might entertain this prospect, the Jewish elite steadfastly resists."
Key Takeaway Point 71: Point: Two primary forces shape the statist globalist order: Dollar imperialism (led by White elite) and Zionist imperialism (driven by Jewish elite). Supporting Sentence 1: "Consequently, two primary forces originating from the Anglo-American-Zionist ruling elite shape the statist globalist order: Dollar imperialism (led by the White elite, namely the Rockefellers and WASPs) and Zionist imperialism (driven by the Jewish elite)." Supporting Sentence 2: "Zionist imperialism now holds a dominant position in global geopolitics, bolstered by the alignment of British and U.S. foreign policy, which increasingly functions as a proxy for Israel’s interests."
Key Takeaway Point 72: Point: Mossad's dominance over CIA and MI6 has escalated intelligence activities, with the Jewish elite willing to risk the petrodollar through massive sanctions. Supporting Sentence 1: "Various intelligence activities are also escalated now that Mossad dominates both CIA and MI6." Supporting Sentence 2: "Jewish elite is now even ready to risk the fate of the petrodollar by provoking other countries with massive sanctions."
Key Takeaway Point 73: Point: Jewish-led neoconservatives and neoliberals have intensified unsuccessful attacks on Russia and China, prompting dangerous strategies of encirclement, dismemberment, and regime change. Supporting Sentence 1: "The Jewish-led neoconservatives and neoliberals have intensified their assaults on Russia’s Vladimir Putin and China’s Xi Jinping, who openly lead the Axis of Resistance and the BRICS nations." Supporting Sentence 2: "In desperation, the Jewish elite has pursued dangerous strategies of encirclement, dismemberment, assassination attempts and other regime change strategies, including attempts at color revolutions."
Key Takeaway Point 74: Point: The Jewish elite has formed alliances with extremist groups like Nazis in Ukraine, ISIS in Asia, and triads in China, and allegedly placed susceptible individuals in leadership positions. Supporting Sentence 1: "Adhering to the principle that “the enemy of my enemy is my friend,” they have even formed alliances with Nazis in Ukraine, ISIS in Asia, and triads in China." Supporting Sentence 2: "They may also have strategically placed individuals susceptible to extortion—such as Macron, Starmer, and Charles III, long rumored to have unusual sexual proclivities and sham marriages—to lead the nuclear powers France and Britain."
Key Takeaway Point 75: Point: The Jewish elite's three-front war involves supporting Ukraine against Russia, Taiwan against China, and conducting genocide in Gaza while warring against the Shia Crescent. Supporting Sentence 1: "When regime change efforts proved unsuccessful, the Jewish elite supported and armed Ukraine against Russia, Taiwan against China, and launched an overt genocide in Gaza while waging war against the Shia Crescent." Supporting Sentence 2: "The unspoken term linking the Jewish elite’s three-front war is the word “Jew,” as explored in the article “World War Jew?”."
Key Takeaway Point 76: Point: The escalating regression of intelligent, adversarial, and unassimilated groups involves continually raising stakes, progressing from state alliance to geopolitical dominance through proxies. Supporting Sentence 1: "These developments were entirely predictable." Supporting Sentence 2: "This begins with forming an alliance with the state, progresses to a divide-and-rule strategy, then secures dominance first over monetary systems then media and finally foreign policy, and ultimately seeks to dominate geopolitics through proxies."
Key Takeaway Point 77: Point: The use of divide et impera strategies and proxies allows the Jewish elite to operate largely unnoticed and persist in their efforts, making this escalation especially hazardous in geopolitics. Supporting Sentence 1: "The most dangerous facet of this escalating regression is that both divide et impera strategies and the use of proxies allow the Jewish elite to operate largely unnoticed and persist in their efforts repeatedly." Supporting Sentence 2: "This recurring pattern of escalation has persisted across millennia, yet it proves especially hazardous in geopolitics, where proxy states facilitate the easy and even profitable initiation of never ending wars."
Key Takeaway Point 78: Point: The Jewish elite's pursuit of dominance is driven by the inherent instability of cartels and their lack of a strong power base, forcing reliance on dangerous proxies. Supporting Sentence 1: "Rather, it reflects the inherent instability of all cartels—be they economic or political—which drives them toward monopoly." Supporting Sentence 2: "As Jews are a tiny nation, the only means to engage in the power cartel game is through proxies, a strategy fraught with danger, especially when those proxies outnumber them by dozens or even a hundredfold."
Key Takeaway Point 79: Point: The Rockefellers and WASP elites also seek to fragment Russia, China, and Iran but adopt a patient approach due to their vast power bases, resenting the Jewish elite's impulsive tactics. Supporting Sentence 1: "The Rockefellers and WASP elites also seek to dismantle Russia, China, and Iran by fragmenting them into smaller entities, thereby securing the dominance of the Western ruling elite." Supporting Sentence 2: "However, like their Russian and Chinese counterparts, the WASPs and Rockefellers command vast geographic and high-IQ demographic power bases, allowing them to adopt a patient approach."
Key Takeaway Point 80: Point: The Jewish elite, lacking patience, feels compelled to raise stakes swiftly to defeat adversaries, establish Greater Israel, and secure a global order. Supporting Sentence 1: "In contrast, the Jewish elite, driven by an urgent need to capitalize on their influence while it endure, lack such patience." Supporting Sentence 2: "They feel compelled to raise the stakes swiftly to defeat their formidable adversaries, establish Greater Israel, and shape a global order that ensures their security."
Key Takeaway Point 81: Point: American libertarians remain silent on the ruling elite and escalating wars, influenced by Jewish dominance in media and academia, despite free speech protections. Supporting Sentence 1: "The Jewish elite has now intensified its actions with its latest escalation: intensifying genocide in Gaza and provoking “limited” nuclear strikes in Russia and Iran." Supporting Sentence 2: "Yet, American libertarians opt to remain silent on the ruling elite and the escalating regression toward war, restricted by the pivotal Overton window shaped by Jewish dominance in American media and even academia."
Key Takeaway Point 82: Point: American libertarians exhibit self-censorship to avoid offending Jewish sensitivities, risking a police-warfare state, genocide, nuclear war, and global holocaust. Supporting Sentence 1: "Although many nations prohibit critical discourse about the Jewish elite, U.S. free speech protections endure, yet American libertarians exhibit pronounced self-censorship." Supporting Sentence 2: "To avoid offending Jewish sensitivities, American libertarians choose to remain silent, risking a police-warfare state, genocide, nuclear war and global holocaust."
The sources discuss the "Jewish Elite" as a significant power bloc within what is described as a global "ruling elite". This ruling elite is seen as dominating states, oppressing populations, accumulating wealth, and engaging in wars that risk nuclear conflict. Unveiling this elite is presented as a solution to curb warmongering and promote freedom.
Here's a comprehensive overview of the Jewish elite's influence based on the provided sources:
1. Identification and Position within the Ruling Elite:
Murray Rothbard, a libertarian scholar, identified three distinct and almost equally powerful power blocs within the ruling elite: the WASP elite, the Rockefeller Dynasty, and the Jewish elite.
Rothbard, despite being Jewish, tended to downplay the Jewish component initially, but their identity was evident through references to groups like the Rothschilds and Kuhn-Loeb.
The Jewish elite is led by the Rothschilds, who built a formidable network through strategic intermarriages with other Jewish dynasties (Barent-Cohens, Montefioris, Sassoons) and leveraged American Jewish proxy dynasties like the Belmonts, Kuhn-Loebs, Schiffs, and Warburgs.
They manage Rothschild banks in Europe and Belmont, Kuhn-Loeb, Lehman, and Goldman Sachs banks in America.
These three dynastic power blocs are described as a power cartel that has collectively governed the United States, collaborating to establish the Federal Reserve and the international dollar system, and using the American military-industrial complex. They also compete among themselves for dominance.
By the 1990s, Rothbard noted a change in the Republican Eastern Establishment, where the Rockefeller World Empire was joined by "neocon-Wall Street forces," with neocons successfully achieving primacy over their Rockefeller allies in dominating the Republican party. Rothbard subtly highlighted the ethnic (Jewish) dimension of the neocons through their origins, animosity towards Russia, and focus on Israel.
2. Characteristics and Historical Role:
The Jewish elite is described as the "elephant in the libertarian room," often unmentioned in analyses of the ruling elite, with some libertarians attributing issues to Zionism rather than elite Jews.
Their influence is attributed to their unique intelligence and ethnocentricity, maintaining a distinct identity over thousands of years without assimilating, unlike other diaspora groups. This stems from the fiercely competitive Middle Eastern environment, fostering extreme positive and negative ethnocentrism, perceiving themselves as "nearly divine" and others as "almost subhuman".
Historically, elite Jewish groups were granted privileges to immigrate in exchange for serving as "exploitative intermediaries" between ruling elites and the populace. These roles included slave traders, tax farmers, monopoly bankers, monopolist merchants, and state advisors.
They are seen as pivotal in the emergence and expansion of Western statism after the Roman Empire's collapse, countering decentralizing tendencies by providing financial and administrative support to medieval states. They were able to persistently explore new strategies in various jurisdictions to refine the formula for state formation.
They were crucial in developing the fractional reserve banking scheme, supporting Protestants to undermine Catholic authority, and funding the Glorious Revolution to establish the Bank of England. Since then, the Jewish and WASP elite have had a symbiotic partnership within the City of London.
The state enabled the Jewish elite to run their own "mini-state" through the kahal, where rabbinic and financial elites exercised totalitarian control over ordinary Jews through numerous rules and restrictions on individual liberty. This system, despite providing rudimentary welfare, demanded strict obedience, essentially externalizing costs onto ordinary Jews who became "pawns in a statist game". This is referred to as a "fatal embrace".
They used their money power to gain media power and employed "divide et impera" tactics by forming coalitions of minorities to undermine traditional values and White conservative leadership. This "culture of critique" gained momentum in the U.S. and developed fully in the Soviet Union.
They pursued geopolitical dominance through proxies, influencing U.S. and British foreign policy by delegating foreign policy to Jewish elites in exchange for support from political parties focused on domestic power.
3. Geopolitical Influence and Strategies:
The assassination of JFK is presented as a pivotal moment that significantly strengthened the Jewish elite's position within the ruling elite. While the entire ruling elite was involved, Jewish leaders are suggested to have orchestrated the operation due to Kennedy's efforts to register the Jewish lobby and block Israel's nuclear program.
During Lyndon Johnson's presidency, there were Rockefeller-backed wars in Asia and Jewish-supported wars in the Middle East, including the sanctioned Israeli assault on the USS Liberty.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Jewish elite challenged the Rockefellers by initiating the cultural revolution and opposing the Vietnam War, aiming to shift the military-industrial complex's focus to the Middle East.
Following the Yom Kippur War, angered by the near-collapse of Israel and Rockefeller's peaceful relations with the Soviet Union, the Jewish elite (led by the Rothschilds) crafted a plan to dismantle the Soviet Union. This involved:
Positioning the City of London as a money laundering hub.
Backing WASP-controlled North Sea oil production to depress oil prices.
Leveraging media influence to champion neocons and intensify the arms race under Reagan and Thatcher.
Subverting the Soviet Union from within through Jewish networks.
This led to rampant inflation in the Soviet Union and eventually Yeltsin's ascent, allowing the creation of Jewish oligarchs who plundered Russia's resources, which suited the Rockefellers as it crippled Russia's oil industry.
The Jewish elite sought to neutralize Saddam Hussein in the First Gulf War, while Rockefellers aimed to limit Iraq's oil production, leading to Saddam remaining in power to justify sanctions.
In the 1990s, Jewish-led neoconservatives and neoliberals wielded significant influence within the Clinton administration, expanding their reach in Russia and China.
The 9/11 attacks are alleged to have been orchestrated by Mossad with CIA and MI6 assistance as a "catalytic event" to create a pretext for the War on Terror, protecting the petrodollar, Rockefeller oil interests, and "especially Israel’s geostrategic objectives". This forms part of the "Anglo-American-Zionist ruling elite".
While united in eliminating Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi (who was exposing the ruling elite's machinations and asserted Israel assassinated JFK), they were less aligned on Syria's Assad. Israel then orchestrated a coup in Ukraine with fascist and Nazi support in response.
After David Rockefeller's death in 2017, the Jewish elite was emboldened, pushing the West to violate the Minsk accords and orchestrating the Hong Kong protests.
Currently, Zionist imperialism holds a dominant position in global geopolitics, with British and U.S. foreign policy increasingly functioning as proxies for Israel's interests. The Jewish elite is ready to risk the petrodollar with sanctions and Mossad is said to dominate both CIA and MI6.
They have intensified assaults on Russia and China, pursued dangerous strategies of encirclement, dismemberment, assassination attempts, and regime change, forming alliances with Nazis in Ukraine, ISIS in Asia, and triads in China.
They are supporting and arming Ukraine against Russia, Taiwan against China, and have launched an "overt genocide in Gaza" while waging war against the Shia Crescent. The term "Jew" is presented as the "unspoken term" linking these actions.
Their "escalating regression" starts with forming alliances with the state, progressing to divide-and-rule, securing dominance over monetary systems, media, and foreign policy, and ultimately seeking to dominate geopolitics through proxies. This cycle is described as "especially hazardous" in geopolitics.
The Jewish elite's actions are driven by an "urgent need to capitalize on their influence while it endures," compelled to raise the stakes swiftly to defeat adversaries, establish Greater Israel, and shape a global order for their security. They are described as lacking patience compared to Rockefellers and WASPs, who have vast power bases and can adopt a patient approach.
They lack a strong power base as a tiny nation, forcing them to engage in the "power cartel game" through proxies, a strategy seen as fraught with danger and potentially leading to the proxies turning against them in a repeat of the "Fatal Embrace".
4. The "Jewish Dilemma" and Silence of Libertarians:
The sources highlight a "Jewish Dilemma" for libertarians, stemming from the fact that many prominent libertarians (Mises, Rand, Friedman, Block, etc.) are Jewish, along with many others of "half- or crypto-Jewish background".
Jewish dominance within libertarian institutions and among funders is said to stifle open discourse about Jewish influence.
This creates a paradox: those "best equipped to study and expose the ruling elite remain the most silent".
Many libertarians resort to a compromise, attributing issues to Zionism rather than elite Jews, to maintain "conscience and credibility".
The rationale for this silence is explicitly stated as "fear of acknowledging Jewish influence".
Despite U.S. free speech protections, American libertarians exhibit pronounced self-censorship to avoid offending Jewish sensitivities, risking a "police-warfare state, genocide, nuclear war and global holocaust".
Rothbard, however, eventually became more forthright, especially in the 1990s, incensed by the increasing influence of Jews and Jewish neoconservatives' "relentless warmongering". He even defended Patrick Buchanan against antisemitism charges and spoke favorably of critics like David Duke, arguing the issue was "excessive anti-antisemitism".
Since Rothbard's death, "no scholar—libertarian or otherwise—has pursued his rigorous examination of the ruling elite," despite the elite's increasing aggression in instigating wars.
The sources provide an extensive discussion on the nature and power of the "ruling elite," their composition, machinations, and impact on global affairs, particularly wars.
From a libertarian perspective, the world is characterized by states that oppress populations, steered by an exploitative ruling elite. This elite privatizes profits while socializing losses, accumulating wealth through cartels and generating money via fiat currency. To maintain political dominance and control of the "money machine," this elite exploits people politically (curtailing self-ownership and property rights), economically (through taxation and cartels), and culturally (via indoctrination and censorship). Their actions are seen as leading to wars that threaten nuclear conflict and global annihilation.
A straightforward solution to halt this exploitation and avert nuclear annihilation is to expose this ruling elite and its machinations. Their power depends on the democratic state's ability to deceive the public into supporting its policies and wars. Exposing them could curb warmongering and potentially halt or slow the state's expansion into a global warfare-police state. The state's inherent inclination to shrink through decentralization and secession becomes evident when its expansion via wars halts, as "war serves as the lifeblood of the state, while peace acts as its poison".
While unveiling the ruling elite seems straightforward for libertarian economists and historians, many hesitate due to "political correctness and potential career setbacks". The notable exception is the libertarian scholar Murray Rothbard, who outlined methods for analyzing this powerful group and sharply criticized others for their reluctance. Rothbard noted that such "hard-nosed analysis" is often denounced as a "conspiracy theory of history," "paranoid," or "Marxist" by Establishment figures and even some libertarians. This denouncement is vital for the State apparatus to maintain legitimacy and sanctity in the public eye, where politicians and bureaucrats are perceived as "disembodied spirits solely devoted to the 'public good'". Revealing their grounding in "advancing a set of economic interests through use of the State" can collapse the basic mystique of government.
Rothbard's approach, often labeled "conspiracy analysis," is seen as praxeological, meaning it assumes people act purposively, making conscious choices to achieve goals. For example, if a steel tariff is passed, a conspiracy analyst would hypothesize that the steel industry lobbied for it. In contrast, opponents of this analysis seem to believe that events in government are random and unplanned. Rothbard also cautioned against two common mistakes made by "bad conspiracy analysts":
Stopping at cui bono (who benefits): Simply concluding that if a measure benefits X and Y, then X and Y must be responsible, without verifying this hypothesis with evidence.
Wrapping all conspiracies into one giant conspiracy: Assuming, without evidence, that a small group controls all power blocs, even when they appear to be in conflict. The sources add a third type of bad conspiracy analyst: one who "focuses almost exclusively on a single power bloc within the ruling elite," such as Carroll Quigley on WASPs, Eustace Mullins on the Jewish elite, or Gary Allen on the Rockefellers.
Rothbard uniquely recognized—or "dared to acknowledge"—the existence of three distinct and almost equally powerful dynastic power blocs within the ruling elite that sometimes collaborated but also clashed:
WASP Elite
Split into two branches: the British-Commonwealth faction (royals, aristocrats, Round Table movement, City of London) and the American faction (Boston Brahmins and the House of Morgan).
Sustains alliances with Dutch royalty, multinational banks (ABN Amro), and businesses (Shell).
Historically anchored in the City of London, dominating Barings bank in Britain and J.P. Morgan bank in America.
The Jewish Elite
Led by the Rothschilds, who forged a formidable network through intermarriages with other distinguished Jewish dynasties (Barent-Cohens, Montefiores, Sassoons).
Later leveraged American Jewish proxy dynasties, including the Belmonts and Kuhn-Loebs, who intermarried with the Schiffs and Warburgs.
Managed Rothschild banks in Europe and Belmont, Kuhn-Loeb, Lehman, and Goldman Sachs banks in America.
Rockefeller Dynasty
Their oil money gave them great power, especially in the Republican party.
Forged matrimonial ties with the Aldrichs (in politics) and the Stillmans (in banking).
Established proxy dynasties like the Harrimans and Walkers (aligned with Democrats) and the Bushes and Trumps (aligned with Republicans).
Controlled Citibank and Chase Manhattan.
These power blocks, though loose collections of dynasties, maintain "distinct ethnic, cultural and economic foundations and banking networks". They have collaborated to establish institutions like the Federal Reserve and the international dollar system, using the American military-industrial complex to counter nations challenging its dominance. At the same time, they have contended among themselves for primacy within the ruling elite, vying for dominance over the Federal Reserve, U.S. presidency, and major political parties.
Historically, especially from the late 19th century until World War II, U.S. political history can be interpreted by the closeness of administrations to either the Morgan group (initially dominant, expanding into commercial banking, railroads, manufacturing mergers) or the Rockefeller forces (starting in oil, moving into commercial banking, allied with Kuhn, Loeb Company). While often clashing, these two financial blocs "were as one on the need for a central bank," with Morgans eventually dominating the Federal Reserve System, though Rockefeller and Kuhn, Loeb forces were equally enthusiastic.
Rothbard elucidated 20th-century conflicts among these three blocs regarding war strategies:
World War I: The Morgans supported the Entente (Britain, France, Russian Tsar), while Jewish elites and Rockefellers opposed aligning with their adversary, the Tsar. This dispute was resolved by overthrowing the Tsar with Jewish and communist assistance, enabling U.S. entry once all three groups concurred.
World War II: The Rockefellers pushed for war against Japan due to oil and rubber interests and the "China market". They were noninterventionist in Europe due to close financial ties with German firms. The Morgans, conversely, were committed to financial ties with Britain and France, advocating for war with Germany, with minimal interest in the Far East. World War II can thus be seen as a coalition war: Morgans got their war in Europe, Rockefellers theirs in Asia.
Following World War II, the Rockefellers became the dominant force in the "Eastern Establishment" due to the new prominence of oil, with Morgans and other groups (implicitly including the Jewish elite, though Rothbard avoided the "J-word") becoming "compliant junior partners" in what Rothbard termed the "Rockefeller World Empire (RWE)". However, this dominance was challenged by "Cowboy" Sun Belt firms from Texas, Florida, and Southern California starting in the 1970s.
Rothbard never asserted that the ruling elite held absolute power, noting they "consistently encounters fresh competition, both from foreign entities and domestic sources". When a politician or political dynasty resists or becomes independent, a "lone nut" assassin might emerge, but only with the acquiescence of other ruling elite power blocs. Rothbard highlighted a pattern in assassinations of figures like JFK, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, and Robert F. Kennedy: all were "important anti-Establishment figures" with charismatic capacity to mobilize the populace against the rulers, thus constituting "populist threats".
Rothbard's later work became more direct about the Jewish elite, especially with the rise of Jewish neoconservatives and their "relentless warmongering" after the Soviet Union's collapse. He noted that by the late 1970s, the "neocon-Wall Street forces" had joined the Rockefeller World Empire, and neocons had "successfully achieved primacy over their Rockefeller allies in dominating the Republican party". Though still avoiding the "J-word" directly, Rothbard highlighted their "Jewish Trotskyite origins," animosity toward "antisemitic" Russia, and focus on Israel. He even asserted that neocons were responsible for bringing down Rockefeller proxy President George H.W. Bush in 1992 for "insufficient devotion to the State of Israel". Rothbard's opposition to this neocon push for wars led him to initiate his paleolibertarian "turn to the right".
The pivotal moment for the Jewish elite's position within the ruling elite appears to be the assassination of JFK. Rothbard viewed it as a "clear false flag and a coordinated coalition effort" because Kennedy opposed the ruling elite's imperialist wars. The sources claim it was "significantly driven by elite Jewish outrage over Kennedy’s efforts to register the Jewish lobby and block Israel’s nuclear program," with Jewish leaders orchestrating the operation, possibly planned in Israel. This arrangement suited Rockefellers and other WASP elites by shielding them and providing leverage. Lyndon Johnson's subsequent presidency sparked Rockefeller-backed wars in Asia and Jewish-supported wars in the Middle East, including the sanctioned Israeli assault on the USS Liberty.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Jewish elite challenged the Rockefellers, seeking to become the "senior partner" by initiating the cultural revolution and opposing the Vietnam War, aiming to shift the focus of the military-industrial complex to the Middle East. Stability was reestablished during the Yom Kippur War when Rockefellers helped save Israel and negotiated a petrodollar agreement with Jewish, WASP, and Saudi elites. Subsequently, Nixon was removed, deemed "anti-Semitic," to placate Jewish interests.
A significant rift emerged when the Jewish elite was angered by the Rockefellers' peaceful relations with the Soviet Union, leading the Jewish elite (notably the Rothschilds) to craft a plan to dismantle the Soviet Union:
Partnering with the WASP elite to make the City of London a hub for money laundering and tax-free networks, backing non-OPEC oil production to depress oil prices.
Leveraging media influence to champion neocons and intensify the arms race under Reagan and Thatcher.
Subverting the Soviet Union from within through Jewish networks. This plan led to plummeting oil prices, rampant inflation in the Soviet Union, and the rise of Gorbachev, with both Rockefellers and the Jewish elite backing Yeltsin's ascent. The Jewish elite rejoiced in creating "several Jewish oligarchs who plundered Russia’s natural resources," which suited the Rockefellers by crippling the oil industry.
This "coalition tactic" was also seen in the First Gulf War, where the Jewish elite aimed to neutralize Saddam Hussein, and the Rockefellers aimed to limit Iraq's oil production, explaining why Saddam remained in power post-war, allowing for sanctions that restrained oil output. By the 1990s, Jewish-led neoconservatives and neoliberals significantly influenced the Clinton administration, expanding their reach in Russia and China. The ruling elite secured hegemony, establishing a unipolar world order with David Rockefeller and Jacob Rothschild, along with Wall Street and the City of London, as guarantors.
However, for the Jewish elite, this hegemony was "insufficient" as they sought to eradicate anti-Semitism and pursue global regime changes, necessitating a "catalytic event akin to Pearl Harbor". The sources claim that Mossad orchestrated the 9/11 attacks with CIA and MI6 assistance, creating a pretext for the War on Terror, which protected the petrodollar, Rockefeller oil interests, and "especially Israel’s geostrategic objectives".
The "Anglo-American-Zionist ruling elite" is currently active, and Rothbard's three power blocs remain valid for analyzing the past 150 years. After 9/11, this elite "started overplaying their hand," with strategic objectives like taking out "7 countries in 5 years".
They "unanimously agreed to first eliminate Iraq’s Hussein" and then Libya’s Gaddafi (who aimed to abandon the petrodollar and expose the elite's machinations, including claiming Israel assassinated JFK).
However, they were "less aligned regarding Syria’s Assad," with Rockefellers, WASPs, Russia, and China unwilling to grant Israel unchecked dominance.
In response, Israel, through neoconservatives, orchestrated a coup in Ukraine. Putin's intervention in Syria infuriated Israel, especially since David Rockefeller "seemed to tolerate Russia’s involvement".
David Rockefeller's death in 2017 "emboldened the Jewish elite to act decisively," pushing the West to violate the Minsk accords and retaliating against China with the Hong Kong protests. The Jewish elite, driven by an urgent need to capitalize on their influence, lacks patience and feels compelled to "raise the stakes swiftly to defeat their formidable adversaries, establish Greater Israel, and shape a global order that ensures their security".
The ruling elite remains steadfast in safeguarding its "global money machine," centered on the Federal Reserve and the petrodollar, fueling a globalist police-warfare state. While Russia and China do not oppose this system or seek to supplant the petrodollar, they aim for "equal partnership within the ruling elite" and security guarantees. The Jewish elite "steadfastly resists" this prospect, as their Zionism complicates geopolitics by pursuing "ultimate dominance," aiming to establish a Greater Israel and encourage Diaspora Jews to resist assimilation by weakening host nations' cohesion.
This results in two primary forces shaping the statist globalist order:
Dollar imperialism (led by the White elite, i.e., Rockefellers and WASPs)
Zionist imperialism (driven by the Jewish elite), which now holds a dominant position, aligning British and U.S. foreign policy as proxies for Israel's interests.
The Jewish elite is even "ready to risk the fate of the petrodollar by provoking other countries with massive sanctions," and Mossad reportedly dominates the CIA and MI6 in intelligence activities. They have intensified assaults on Russia and China, forming alliances with "Nazis in Ukraine, ISIS in Asia, and triads in China". When regime change efforts failed, the Jewish elite "supported and armed Ukraine against Russia, Taiwan against China, and launched an overt genocide in Gaza while waging war against the Shia Crescent". This "escalating regression" is dangerous because proxies allow the Jewish elite to "operate largely unnoticed and persist in their efforts repeatedly".
The Jewish elite's pursuit of dominance is challenging and perilous for them due to their lack of a strong power base as a "tiny nation," forcing them to engage through proxies, a strategy "fraught with danger". The Rockefellers and WASP elites also seek to fragment Russia, China, and Iran but can adopt a patient approach due to their "vast geographic and high-IQ demographic power bases," unlike the Jewish elite's "impulsive, aggressive and genocidal tactics".
A significant point highlighted in the sources is the "Jewish dilemma" fueling "genocide and nuclear war". Many prominent libertarians, including Ludwig von Mises, Ayn Rand, and Milton Friedman, are Jewish, and there is "Jewish dominance within libertarian institutions and among their funders". This creates a paradox where "the people best equipped to study and expose the ruling elite remain the most silent". To maintain credibility, many libertarians attribute issues to Zionism rather than "elite Jews," but the sources argue this cannot account for the Jewish elite's influence or historical role in statism. This silence is seen as fear of acknowledging Jewish influence, leading American libertarians to "pronounced self-censorship" to avoid offending Jewish sensitivities, risking a "police-warfare state, genocide, nuclear war and global holocaust".
Global geopolitics, as described in the sources, is primarily steered by an exploitative ruling elite that dominates states and oppresses populations through breaches of the non-aggression principle. This elite accumulates wealth through cartels and fiat currency, and maintains political dominance through exploitation, indoctrination, censorship, and wars that are now poised to lead to nuclear conflict and global annihilation.
A straightforward solution to halt this exploitation and avert nuclear annihilation is to expose this ruling elite and its machinations, as their power depends on deceiving the public into supporting their policies and wars.
Murray Rothbard, a noted libertarian scholar, outlined methods for analyzing this ruling elite, criticizing fellow libertarians for their reluctance to investigate this powerful group due to fears of being labeled "conspiracy theorists". Rothbard viewed a "conspiracy analyst" as a praxeologist, believing that people act purposively to achieve goals, thus attributing government actions to the economic interests lobbying for them.
Rothbard identified three distinct and almost equally powerful dynastic power blocs within the ruling elite, which sometimes collaborated but also clashed:
WASP Elite: Split into a British-Commonwealth faction (royals, aristocrats, Round Table movement, City of London) and an American faction (Boston Brahmins, House of Morgan). This elite maintains ties with Dutch royalty, multinational banks (ABN Amro), and businesses (Shell). Historically, they dominated Barings bank in Britain and J.P. Morgan bank in America.
Jewish Elite: Led by the Rothschilds, who built a network through intermarriages with other distinguished Jewish dynasties (Barent-Cohens, Montefioris, Sassoons). They leveraged American Jewish proxy dynasties like the Belmonts and Kuhn-Loebs, who intermarried with the Schiffs and Warburgs. They managed Rothschild banks in Europe and Belmont, Kuhn-Loeb, Lehman, and Goldman Sachs banks in America.
Rockefeller Dynasty: Gained power through oil money and influence in the Republican party. They forged matrimonial ties with the Aldrichs (politics) and Stillmans (banking) and established proxy dynasties, including the Harrimans and Walkers (Democrats) and the Bushes and Trumps (Republicans). The Rockefeller dynasty controlled Citibank and Chase Manhattan.
These three blocs, despite their distinct ethnic, cultural, economic foundations, and banking networks, have collectively governed the United States as a power cartel. They collaborated to establish the Federal Reserve and the international dollar system, using the American military-industrial complex to counter challenging nations. They also contended among themselves for primacy over the Federal Reserve, the U.S. presidency, and the two major political parties. Historically, U.S. political history until World War II could be interpreted by the closeness of administrations to either the Morgan or Rockefeller financial groupings.
The ruling elite's internal conflicts and collaborations significantly shaped 20th-century conflicts:
World War I: Tensions peaked as the Morgans supported the Entente, while Jewish elites and Rockefellers opposed aligning with their adversary, the Russian Tsar. This was resolved by overthrowing the Tsar with Jewish and communist assistance in the February Revolution, allowing U.S. entry into the war once all three groups concurred.
World War II: The Rockefellers advocated for war against Japan due to competition over oil and rubber resources and their "China market" dreams, while taking a noninterventionist stance in Europe due to ties with German firms. In contrast, the Morgans, tied to Britain and France, pushed for war with Germany. This resulted in a "coalition war", where the Morgans got their war in Europe, and the Rockefellers got theirs in Asia.
Post-WWII Dominance: Following World War II, the Rockefellers became the dominant force, establishing what Rothbard termed the "Rockefeller World Empire" (RWE), with the Morgans and other financial groups (implicitly including the Jewish elite) becoming "compliant junior partners". Rothbard later noted that the "Rockefeller-Morgan-Kuhn-Loeb Eastern Establishment" faced challenges from "Cowboy" Sun Belt firms.
JFK Assassination: The sources suggest the assassination of John F. Kennedy was a "clear false flag" and a "coordinated coalition effort," driven significantly by elite Jewish outrage over Kennedy’s efforts to register the Jewish lobby and block Israel’s nuclear program. While the entire ruling elite was involved, Jewish leaders are described as having orchestrated the operation. Lyndon Johnson's subsequent presidency sparked Rockefeller-backed wars in Asia and Jewish-supported wars in the Middle East, including sanctioning the Israeli assault on the USS Liberty.
Yom Kippur War and Soviet Union's Collapse: In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Jewish elite challenged the Rockefellers, aiming to become the senior partner by initiating the cultural revolution and opposing the Vietnam War to shift the military-industrial complex's focus to the Middle East. The Rockefellers saved Israel during the Yom Kippur War, negotiated a petrodollar agreement, and allied with China. Nixon's removal was facilitated to placate Jewish interests. The Jewish elite, shocked by Israel's near-collapse and Soviet backing of Arab states, retaliated when Rockefellers cultivated peaceful relations with the Soviet Union. They crafted a plan to dismantle the Soviet Union by:
Partnering with the WASP elite to make the City of London a money laundering hub and backing non-OPEC oil production to depress prices.
Leveraging media influence to champion neocons and intensify the arms race under Reagan and Thatcher.
Subverting the Soviet Union from within through Jewish networks. This strategy, leading to economic chaos and the rise of Jewish oligarchs, suited both the Jewish elite and the Rockefellers.
First Gulf War: This was a coalition tactic where the Jewish elite sought to neutralize Saddam Hussein, and the Rockefellers aimed to limit Iraq’s oil production. This compromise led to Saddam remaining in power but under sanctions that restrained Iraq’s oil output.
In the 1990s, Jewish-led neoconservatives and neoliberals gained significant influence in the Clinton administration, expanding their reach in Russia and China. This established a unipolar world order, with David Rockefeller and Jacob Rothschild as its guarantors. However, the Jewish elite sought more, aiming to eradicate antisemitism and pursue global regime changes, which required a catalytic event like Pearl Harbor.
9/11 Attacks: Mossad is described as having orchestrated the 9/11 attacks with assistance from the CIA and MI6, creating a pretext for the War on Terror. This campaign protected the petrodollar, Rockefeller oil interests, and especially Israel's geostrategic objectives.
Anglo-American-Zionist Ruling Elite: The War on Terror is seen as a "three-way affair" that further strengthens the hegemony of this elite. The three major power blocs (Rockefellers, WASPs, and Jewish elite) agreed to eliminate Saddam Hussein in the Second Gulf War and Libya's Gaddafi, who had aimed to abandon the petrodollar and expose the ruling elite's machinations.
Syria, Ukraine, and China: They were less aligned on Syria's Assad, due to reluctance from Rockefellers, WASPs, Russia, and China to grant Israel unchecked dominance. In response, Israel, through neoconservatives, orchestrated a coup in Ukraine with support from fascists and Nazis. Following David Rockefeller's death in 2017, the Jewish elite, with neocons, pushed the West to violate the Minsk accords and retaliated against China through the Hong Kong protests.
Current Geopolitics: Russia and China have formed a robust geopolitical alliance, challenging the ruling elite. The ruling elite remains steadfast in safeguarding its financial system (Federal Reserve, petrodollar), fueling a globalist police-warfare state. However, Russia and China only seek equal partnership and security guarantees, a prospect Rockefellers and WASPs might entertain, but which the Jewish elite steadfastly resists, pursuing ultimate dominance. This is driven by their goal to establish a Greater Israel and encourage Diaspora Jews to resist assimilation by weakening host nations' cohesion.
Zionist imperialism now holds a dominant position in global geopolitics, with British and U.S. foreign policy increasingly acting as proxies for Israel's interests. Mossad is said to dominate both the CIA and MI6. The Jewish-led neoconservatives and neoliberals have intensified assaults on Russia and China, forming alliances with groups like Nazis in Ukraine, ISIS, and triads in China.
Three-Front War: When regime change efforts failed, the Jewish elite supported and armed Ukraine against Russia, Taiwan against China, and launched an overt genocide in Gaza while waging war against the Shia Crescent.
Escalating Regression: This behavior reflects an "escalating regression" of intelligent, adversarial, and unassimilated groups who continually raise the stakes, progressing from alliances with states to global geopolitical dominance through proxies. This strategy allows them to operate largely unnoticed and persist. The Jewish elite, being a tiny nation, lacks a strong power base, compelling them to engage in the "power cartel game" through proxies, a strategy fraught with danger.
Differences in Tactics: While Rockefellers and WASPs also seek to fragment Russia, China, and Iran, they possess vast geographic and demographic power bases, allowing for a patient approach. They resent the Jewish elite's "impulsive, aggressive and genocidal tactics" and are cautious about starting a three-front war with nuclear powers. In contrast, the Jewish elite feels compelled to act swiftly to defeat adversaries, establish Greater Israel, and shape a global order to ensure their security.
In conclusion, the sources argue that the Jewish elite has now intensified its actions, including intensifying genocide in Gaza and provoking "limited" nuclear strikes in Russia and Iran. The text laments that American libertarians remain silent on these issues due to fear of acknowledging Jewish influence and self-censorship, despite the risks of a police-warfare state, genocide, nuclear war, and global holocaust.
From a libertarian perspective, the world is characterized by states that inherently oppress their populations, violating the non-aggression principle. These states are not benign entities but are actively steered by an exploitative ruling elite that seeks to expand its power and wealth.
Here's a discussion of state expansion:
The Nature of State Expansion:
The ruling elite privatizes profits while socializing losses, accumulating wealth through cartels and generating money via fiat currency. To sustain its political dominance and control of the "money machine," this elite exploits people politically (curtailing self-ownership and property rights), economically (through taxation and cartels), and culturally (via indoctrination and censorship). These actions are all mechanisms of state expansion, extending its reach and control over society.
War is identified as the "lifeblood of the state," while peace acts as its poison. Wars serve to expand the state, often through a "ratchet effect" where government power and expenditure increase during conflict and do not fully recede afterwards.
The state's power fundamentally depends on its ability to deceive the public into supporting its policies and wars. When the public is deceived into supporting wars, it allows the state to expand towards a "global warfare-police state".
The Ruling Elite's Role in Driving State Expansion:
The ruling elite, consisting of the WASP elite, the Jewish elite, and the Rockefeller Dynasty, has collectively governed the United States as a power cartel. They have collaborated to establish the Federal Reserve and the international dollar system, and they harness the American military-industrial complex to counter nations that challenge its dominance. These financial and military structures are integral to state power and global reach.
Historically, this power cartel has also contended among themselves for primacy, vying for dominance over the Federal Reserve, U.S. presidency, and the two major political parties, but they are unified on the need for mechanisms like a central bank which facilitate state power and expansion.
Wars are often "coalition wars" where different power blocs within the elite achieve their objectives, leading to state engagement in conflicts. For example, World War II was seen as a coalition war where the Morgans (WASP-aligned) got their war in Europe, and the Rockefellers got theirs in Asia, thus facilitating a two-front expansion of American military involvement.
The Jewish Elite's Unique Contribution to State Expansion:
Historically, elite Jewish groups were granted unique privileges to immigrate in exchange for serving as exploitative intermediaries between ruling elites and the populace. Roles such as slave traders, tax farmers, monopoly bankers, and war financiers indicate their historical involvement in strengthening state power.
The Jewish elite may have been pivotal in the emergence and expansion of Western statism after the Roman Empire's collapse, countering decentralizing tendencies through financial and administrative support to medieval states. They provided "exploitation services" that rulers found essential to remain competitive.
They refined the blueprint for state formation, leveraging Europe's decentralization to "shop around" for the highest exploitation price, eventually finding effective models for state formation.
The Jewish elite also played a key role in developing and implementing the fractional reserve banking scheme, generating money "ex nihilo" (from nothing), which is a significant tool for state control over currency and economic expansion. This was exemplified by their funding of the Glorious Revolution and aiding the establishment of the fractional reserve-based Bank of England.
Having facilitated statism, especially state capitalism, Jewish elites sought to control the state to prevent its betrayal, using their money power to gain media power and employ "divide et impera" tactics to undermine traditional values and leadership, further shaping the cultural landscape to facilitate state control and expansion.
They pursued geopolitical dominance through proxies, influencing U.S. and British foreign policy to achieve their goals, such as Israel's interests and the eradication of perceived antisemitism. This indicates an expansion of state influence beyond its immediate borders for specific elite objectives.
The "War on Terror" is described as a "three-way affair" involving the Anglo-American-Zionist ruling elite to strengthen their hegemony, further illustrating state expansion through military and geopolitical means. The pursuit of regime change in multiple countries and the initiation of conflicts like the Second Gulf War and the war in Libya highlight this expansionist agenda.
The Jewish elite's current actions, driven by a lack of patience and an "urgent need to capitalize on their influence," are seen as intensifying actions, including genocide and provoking "limited" nuclear strikes, which are ultimate forms of state power projection and expansion. They are actively pursuing "ultimate dominance," aiming to establish a Greater Israel and weaken the cohesion of host nations to prevent assimilation, which fuels "Zionist imperialism" alongside "Dollar imperialism" (from WASP/Rockefellers).
Challenges and Limits to State Expansion:
Despite the elite's drive for expansion, Rothbard noted that the ruling elite does not possess absolute power and consistently encounters fresh competition, both from foreign entities and domestic sources.
There are inherent tendencies toward decentralization and secession that could halt the state's expansion, and peace is seen as a force that could shrink the state. However, these forces are often overcome by the elite's machinations.
The pursuit of dominance by the Jewish elite is seen as "far more challenging and perilous" for them, as they "lack a strong power base" as a tiny nation, forcing them to rely on proxies, which might eventually turn against them, repeating a "historical cycle of the Fatal Embrace". This inherent instability within the elite's cartel-like structure might pose future limits to unchecked expansion.
In summary, state expansion, from this perspective, is not an organic growth but a deliberate process engineered and perpetuated by a ruling elite through various economic, political, and cultural means, with war serving as its primary catalyst and mechanism for global reach and control. The Jewish elite is presented as a key historical and contemporary driver of this expansion, particularly through its financial mechanisms, geopolitical strategies, and influence on foreign policy.
War and conflict are presented in the sources as fundamental to the existence and expansion of the state, and as a primary tool used by the ruling elite to maintain and increase their power and wealth.
Here's a detailed discussion:
War as the State's "Lifeblood" and Elite's Tool: From a libertarian perspective, states are seen as oppressing populations and are steered by an exploitative ruling elite. This elite accumulates wealth through cartels and fiat currency, and safeguards its interests through wars that now threaten nuclear conflict and global annihilation. War is explicitly called the "lifeblood of the state," while peace acts as its "poison," as war enables the state's expansion and ratchets up its power.
Exposing the Elite to Halt Wars: The sources propose that exposing the ruling elite and its machinations is a "straightforward solution" to halt exploitation and avert nuclear annihilation, as their power depends on the state's ability to deceive the public into supporting its policies and wars. Such exposure could curb warmongering and slow the state's expansion into a global warfare-police state.
Rothbard's Analysis of Elite Conflicts and War Strategies: Murray Rothbard, a prominent libertarian scholar, meticulously analyzed the ruling elite, which he identified as comprising three distinct power blocs: the WASP elite, the Rockefeller Dynasty, and the Jewish elite. Rothbard believed that halting wars—both hot and cold—would allow social power to prevail over state power. His work elucidated 20th-century conflicts among these dynastic power blocs regarding war strategies, often leading to "coalition wars" where different factions achieved their objectives.
World War I: Tensions arose because the Morgan-led WASP elite supported the Entente (Britain, France, Russia), while the Jewish elite and Rockefellers opposed aligning with their adversary, the Tsar. This dispute was resolved by overthrowing the Tsar with Jewish and communist assistance in the February Revolution, enabling U.S. entry into the war once all three groups concurred.
World War II: This conflict is seen as a "coalition war" where the Morgans secured their war in Europe, and the Rockefellers pursued theirs in Asia. The Jewish elite naturally supported the WASPs against Nazi Germany.
Post-WWII Dominance and Shifting Alliances: After World War II, the Rockefellers became the dominant force in the Eastern Establishment, with Morgans and other financial groups (including the Jewish Kuhn-Loeb faction) becoming "compliant junior partners".
JFK Assassination: The assassination of President John F. Kennedy is described as a "clear false flag and a coordinated coalition effort" because Kennedy opposed the ruling elite’s imperialist wars. It was "significantly driven by elite Jewish outrage over Kennedy’s efforts to register the Jewish lobby and block Israel’s nuclear program," with Jewish leaders orchestrating the operation, potentially planning it in Israel.
Lyndon Johnson's Presidency: Following JFK's assassination, Lyndon Johnson's coalition-led presidency sparked Rockefeller-backed wars in Asia and Jewish-supported wars in the Middle East.
Yom Kippur War and Soviet Union's Collapse: The Jewish elite challenged the Rockefellers in the late 1960s and early 1970s, seeking to shift the focus of the military-industrial complex from Asia to the Middle East. The Rockefellers later harnessed the American military to save Israel during the Yom Kippur War and negotiated a petrodollar agreement, but the Jewish elite, enraged by Rockefeller's peaceful relations with the Soviet Union, crafted a plan to dismantle the Soviet Union. This involved positioning the City of London as a money laundering hub, backing non-OPEC oil production to depress prices, intensifying the arms race with the help of neoconservatives like Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, and subverting the Soviet Union from within via Jewish networks.
First Gulf War: This was another coalition tactic where the Jewish elite sought to neutralize Saddam Hussein, and the Rockefellers aimed to limit Iraq’s oil production.
The War on Terror and Its Origins: The sources claim that the 9/11 attacks were "orchestrated" by Mossad with assistance from the CIA and MI6, serving as a "catalytic event" to create a pretext for the War on Terror. This campaign aimed to protect the petrodollar, Rockefeller oil interests, and especially Israel’s geostrategic objectives. The War on Terror is seen as a "three-way affair" among the Anglo-American-Zionist ruling elite to strengthen their hegemony.
Recent Conflicts and Elite Disagreements:
Iraq and Libya: The three power blocs "unanimously agreed" to eliminate Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi, the latter having become "uncontrollable" and exposing the ruling elite's machinations, including claiming Israel assassinated JFK.
Syria: There was less alignment regarding Syria's Assad, as the Rockefellers, WASPs, Russia, and China were unwilling to grant Israel "unchecked dominance" in the Middle East.
Ukraine: Israel, through neoconservatives, orchestrated a coup in Ukraine with support from "fascists and Nazis". Following David Rockefeller's death, the Jewish elite pushed for the violation of the Minsk accords and retaliated against China through the Hong Kong protests.
Current Geopolitics: The Jewish elite has intensified actions, including "overt genocide in Gaza," supporting and arming Ukraine against Russia, and Taiwan against China, while waging war against the Shia Crescent. These are described as a "three-front war".
Motivations for War and Conflict:
The ruling elite seeks to maintain its financial system, particularly the Federal Reserve and the petrodollar, which fuels the rise of a globalist police-warfare state.
Zionist Imperialism: The Jewish elite, driven by a desire to eradicate antisemitism and pursue global regime changes, seeks "ultimate dominance" to establish a Greater Israel and weaken host nations to encourage Diaspora Jews to resist assimilation. They are compelled to "raise the stakes swiftly" and "win the cartel game" due to their lack of a large power base, relying heavily on proxies. This makes their pursuit of dominance more "challenging and perilous".
Dollar Imperialism: The WASP and Rockefeller elites, leading "Dollar imperialism," aim to dismantle Russia, China, and Iran to secure Western dominance. They are generally more patient and cautious about escalating conflicts with nuclear powers, often resenting the Jewish elite’s "impulsive, aggressive and genocidal tactics".
Escalating Regression: The pattern of unassimilated and adversarial groups continually raising the stakes, from state alliance to dominating foreign policy and geopolitics through proxies, makes the initiation of "never ending wars" easy and profitable.
Risks and Silence: The current trajectory risks a "police-warfare state, genocide, nuclear war and global holocaust". Despite this, many libertarian media and organizations refrain from examining the ruling elite and its wars in detail due to fear of acknowledging Jewish influence, which leads to self-censorship.
Author's Stated Purpose/Thesis: The article posits that the world is controlled by an "exploitative ruling elite" that drives global conflict and potential nuclear war. It argues that a critical component of this elite is the "Jewish elite," whose influence is deliberately ignored by many, particularly within libertarian circles, due to fear of "political correctness" and Jewish dominance in various institutions. The author claims that this silence prevents exposure of the elite's machinations, which is presented as the only solution to prevent global catastrophe.
The "Ruling Elite" and its Machinations:
Definition: The "ruling elite" is described as a group that "privatizes profits while socializing losses, accumulating ever-increasing wealth through cartels and by generating money from thin air with fiat currency." They maintain power through political, economic, and cultural oppression, and safeguard their interests through wars that threaten "nuclear conflict and global annihilation."
Mechanism of Control: Their power relies on the "democratic state" and its ability to "deceive the public into supporting its policies and wars." Exposure of this elite is presented as the "one straightforward solution to halt exploitation and avert nuclear annihilation."
State as a Tool: "War serves as the lifeblood of the state, while peace acts as its poison." Halting wars would lead to the state's natural tendency to "shrink through decentralization and secession."
Murray Rothbard's Analysis of the Ruling Elite:
Critique of Silence: The author praises Murray Rothbard as a "singular notable exception" among libertarians for daring to analyze the ruling elite, despite criticism from "Establishment liberals and conservatives (and even by many libertarians)" who label such analyses as "conspiracy theory."
"Conspiracy Analysis" as "Praxeology": Rothbard is quoted as asserting that a "conspiracy analyst is a praxeologist; that is, he believes that people act purposively, that they make conscious choices to employ means in order to arrive at goals." The author interprets this as a rational approach to understanding power dynamics.
Rothbard's Three "Ethnic Power Blocks": De Wit highlights Rothbard's identification of three distinct, though sometimes collaborating, power blocs within the ruling elite:
WASP Elite: Split into British-Commonwealth (Round Table movement, City of London) and American factions (Boston Brahmins, House of Morgan), with ties to Dutch royalty.
The Jewish Elite: "Led by the Rothschilds," who built networks through intermarriages with other "distinguished Jewish dynasties," and leveraged "American Jewish proxy dynasties" like the Belmonts and Kuhn-Loebs.
Rockefeller Dynasty: Gained power through oil money, formed matrimonial ties with families like the Aldrichs and Stillmans, and established "proxy dynasties" such as the Harrimans, Walkers, Bushes, and Trumps.
Banking Networks: Each bloc is associated with specific banking institutions: WASP with Barings and J.P. Morgan; Rockefellers with Citibank and Chase Manhattan; Jewish elite with Rothschild banks in Europe and Belmont, Kuhn-Loeb, Lehman, and Goldman Sachs in America.
Collaboration and Conflict: These blocs "collaborated to establish the Federal Reserve and the international dollar system," but also "contended among themselves over primacy within the ruling elite."
Rothbard's Euphemisms: The author notes Rothbard's tendency to "downplay the Jewish component" due to "intense pressure," leading him to use indirect language like "Rothschilds and Kuhn-Loeb group" instead of explicitly saying "Jew."
"Coalition Wars" and Geopolitical Struggles:
WWI: De Wit claims the "dispute was resolved by overthrowing the Tsar with Jewish and communist assistance in the February Revolution, enabling U.S. entry into the First World War once the three ruling elite groups concurred."
WWII: Portrayed as a "coalition war" where "the Morgans got their war in Europe, the Rockefellers theirs in Asia." The author adds that Rothbard "forgets to mention the Jewish group which naturally was strongly supporting the WASPs against Nazi-Germany."
Post-WWII Dominance: The Rockefellers established the "Rockefeller World Empire (RWE)" as the "dominant force," with Morgans and "other financial groups" (implicitly Jewish) becoming "compliant junior partners."
Challenges to the Eastern Establishment: The "united Rockefeller-Morgan-Kuhn-Loeb Eastern Establishment" faced challenges from "‘Cowboy’ Sun Belt firms" and "maverick oil men."
Assassinations as Control Mechanisms: The author interprets a series of assassinations (JFK, Malcolm X, MLK, RFK, Wallace) as targeting "important anti-Establishment figures" who posed "‘populist’ threats against the ruling elite," with the implication of elite "acquiescence."
The "Jewish Question" and Neoconservative Influence:
Rothbard's Later Shift: Rothbard's later "unrestrained" stance is attributed to "the mounting influence of the Jews and the Jewish neoconservatives’ relentless warmongering."
Neoconservative Primacy: De Wit states that "the neocons have successfully achieved primacy over their Rockefeller allies in dominating the Republican party" since the late 1970s.
Neocon Goals: Rothbard is presented as implying the neocons' "Jewish Trotskyite origins," "deep-seated animosity toward 'antisemitic' Russia," and "singular focus on the Jewish state Israel as their primary—or sole—concern."
Bush Sr.'s Downfall: The author claims that "the neocon knifing of Bush in 1992" was due to "insufficient devotion to the State of Israel."
Rothbard's "Paleolibertarian" Turn: Rothbard's opposition to "neocon push for wars to expand Israel and combat antisemitism" led him to ally with paleoconservatives and even defend figures like Patrick Buchanan and David Duke, arguing America's issue was "excessive anti-antisemitism."
"Jewish Privilege" and Ethnocentrism:
"Elephant in the Room": The "Jewish elite" is described as "the elephant in the libertarian room," with libertarians resorting to blaming "Zionism rather than elite Jews."
Unique Identity and Ethnocentrism: The author attributes Jewish influence to their "unique intelligence and ethnocentricity," allowing them to maintain "distinct identity over thousands of years without assimilating." This is explained by "evolutionary psychology and institutional dynamics," fostering a perception of themselves as "nearly divine (a light unto nations) and others as almost subhuman (goyim)."
"Undermining Local Cultures": Unassimilated Jews "subtly undermin[e] local cultures as if guided by an invisible hand" and "manipulate political structures for self-preservation."
Historical Role as "Exploitative Intermediaries": Historically, the "alien Jewish elite" served as "exploitative intermediaries between ruling elites and the populace—roles such as slave traders, tax farmers, monopoly bankers, monopolist merchants and state advisors."
Countering Decentralization ("European Miracle"): The Jewish elite's "financial and administrative contributions may have been not only necessary but sufficient to tip the balance" towards statism, countering the "decentralizing tendencies of Germanic and Celtic societies."
Fractional Reserve Banking: The "Jewish elite funded the so-called Glorious Revolution in England, aiding the establishment of WASP governance and the fractional reserve-based Bank of England," leading to a "symbiotic partnership" with the WASP elite in the City of London.
"Fatal Embrace" and Control of the State:
Interdependence with the State: The state empowered the Jewish elite, providing "financial and other privileges" and "authority over ordinary Jews." The author claims this created a "totalitarian" Jewish "mini-state" controlled by "rabbis and prominent merchants."
"Privatized Profits, Externalized Costs": The Jewish elite "privatized profits while externalizing costs, forcing ordinary Jews to act as pawns in a statist game, occasionally enduring attacks, pogroms, and other massacres."
Media and "Divide et Impera": To prevent "betrayal" by the state, Jewish elites used "money power to gain media power and further employ divide et impera tactics, forming coalitions of minorities to undermine traditional values and White conservative leadership."
Delegation of Foreign Policy: Political parties "readily delegated foreign policy to Jewish elites in exchange for support."
Post-JFK Assassination and Modern Geopolitics:
JFK Assassination as a Turning Point: The assassination "significantly strengthened the Jewish elite’s position within the ruling elite," being "significantly driven by elite Jewish outrage over Kennedy’s efforts to register the Jewish lobby and block Israel’s nuclear program." This was orchestrated by "Jewish leaders," "meticulously planning and rehearsing it in the safety of Israel."
Johnson's Presidency: Led to "Rockefeller-backed wars in Asia and Jewish-supported wars in the Middle East," including "the Israeli assault on the USS Liberty."
Yom Kippur War and Petrodollar Agreement: The Rockefellers "harnessed the strength of the American military-industrial complex to save Israel, negotiated a petrodollar agreement with Jewish, WASP, and Saudi elites and forged a de facto alliance with China."
Dismantling the Soviet Union: The Jewish elite, "led notably by the Rothschilds," sought to dismantle the Soviet Union in retaliation for Rockefeller's peaceful relations with the USSR. This involved:
Positioning the City of London as a "money laundering and elite tax-free network."
Backing North Sea oil production to "depress oil prices."
Championing neocons and supporting Reagan/Thatcher to "intensify the arms race."
Subverting the Soviet Union "from within through Jewish networks, including that of Robert Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein."
First Gulf War: A "coalition tactic" to "neutralize their foe, Saddam Hussein" (Jewish elite goal) and "limit Iraq’s oil production" (Rockefeller goal), resulting in Saddam remaining in power and sanctions.
Post-Cold War Hegemony: In the 1990s, "Jewish-led neoconservatives and neoliberals wielded significant influence within the Clinton administration," establishing a "unipolar world order where David Rockefeller and Jacob Rothschild, together with Wall Street and the City of London, functioned as its guarantors."
9/11 and the War on Terror: The Jewish elite sought a "catalytic event akin to Pearl Harbor" for "global regime changes." "Mossad orchestrated the 9/11 attacks with assistance from the CIA and MI6, creating a pretext for the War on Terror." This protected "the petrodollar, Rockefeller oil interests, and especially Israel’s geostrategic objectives."
"Anglo-American-Zionist Ruling Elite" and Current Conflicts:
Continued Hegemony: The "three-way affair" of the "Anglo-American-Zionist ruling elite" seeks to strengthen its hegemony, continuing to follow Rothbard's three-power-bloc model.
Overplaying Their Hand: Post-9/11, the elite "started overplaying their hand," aiming to "take out 7 countries in 5 years" (Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Iran).
Elimination of Hussein and Gaddafi: United efforts by the three blocs to eliminate Hussein and Gaddafi, the latter for exposing "the ruling elite’s machinations" and asserting Israel assassinated JFK.
Disagreement on Syria: Rockefellers and WASPs were reluctant to grant Israel "unchecked dominance in the Middle East," leading Israel to "orchestrated a coup in Ukraine with support from fascists and Nazis."
Post-David Rockefeller: David Rockefeller's death in 2017 "emboldened the Jewish elite to act decisively," pushing for violation of Minsk accords and orchestrating Hong Kong protests.
Russia-China Alliance: Russia and China formed a "robust geopolitical alliance," supported by "proxies such as nuclear-armed North Korea and Iran’s Shia Crescent network."
Dollar vs. Zionist Imperialism: The "ruling elite remains steadfast in safeguarding its financial system," but the "Jewish elite steadfastly resists" Russia and China's demand for "equal partnership." This leads to "two primary forces": "Dollar imperialism (led by the White elite, namely the Rockefellers and WASPs) and Zionist imperialism (driven by the Jewish elite)."
Zionist Dominance and Risk of Nuclear War: "Zionist imperialism now holds a dominant position," with UK/US foreign policy "increasingly functions as a proxy for Israel’s interests." The Jewish elite is willing to "risk the fate of the petrodollar by provoking other countries with massive sanctions." They also "escalated" intelligence activities, with "Mossad dominates both CIA and MI6."
Desperate Strategies: Unsuccessful regime change efforts have led the Jewish elite to support Ukraine against Russia, Taiwan against China, and launch "overt genocide in Gaza" while warring against the Shia Crescent. They have formed alliances with "Nazis in Ukraine, ISIS in Asia, and triads in China," and allegedly "strategically placed individuals susceptible to extortion—such as Macron, Starmer, and Charles III—to lead the nuclear powers France and Britain."
"World War Jew?": The underlying theme of the "Jewish elite’s three-front war is the word 'Jew'."
"Escalating Regression" and the "Fatal Embrace" Revisited:
Pattern of Escalation: The Jewish elite's behavior is described as "escalating regression," progressing from state alliance to "divide-and-rule," then "dominance first over monetary systems then media and finally foreign policy," and "ultimately seeks to dominate geopolitics through proxies."
Lack of Strong Power Base: The Jewish elite's "tiny nation" status means they "lack a strong power base" and rely on "proxies," a "strategy fraught with danger, especially when those proxies outnumber them by dozens or even a hundredfold." This risks the "proxies turn against the Jews repeating the historical cycle of the Fatal Embrace."
Impatience vs. Patience: While Rockefellers and WASPs can afford "a patient approach," the "Jewish elite, driven by an urgent need to capitalize on their influence while it endures, lack such patience." They "feel compelled to raise the stakes swiftly to defeat their formidable adversaries, establish Greater Israel, and shape a global order that ensures their security."
The "Libertarian Dilemma" and "Self-Censorship":
Silence on Jewish Influence: The author laments the silence of "American libertarians" on the ruling elite and escalating wars, blaming it on the "pivotal Overton window shaped by Jewish dominance in American media and even academia."
Fear and Paradox: Despite free speech protections, American libertarians exhibit "pronounced self-censorship" to "avoid offending Jewish sensitivities." This creates a "curious paradox: The people best equipped to study and expose the ruling elite remain the most silent." This silence, the author claims, risks "a police-warfare state, genocide, nuclear war and global holocaust."
The assertion that a "ruling elite" deliberately orchestrates wars for profit and control, threatening nuclear conflict.
The claim that Murray Rothbard identified three distinct "ethnic power blocs" (WASP, Jewish, Rockefeller) as the core of this elite, despite Rothbard's own alleged "downplaying" of the Jewish component.
The specific historical interpretations presented, such as:
The February Revolution allowing U.S. entry into WWI by removing the Tsar (due to Jewish/communist assistance).
WWII as a "coalition war" driven by the disparate interests of the Morgan and Rockefeller groups.
The post-WWII rise of the "Rockefeller World Empire."
The "neocons" (identified as Jewish-led) achieving "primacy" in the Republican party and orchestrating George H.W. Bush's downfall.
The JFK assassination being orchestrated by "Jewish leaders" due to Kennedy's actions against the "Jewish lobby and block Israel’s nuclear program."
Mossad, with CIA/MI6 assistance, orchestrating the 9/11 attacks as a "catalytic event" for the "War on Terror."
The current global conflicts (Gaza genocide, Ukraine, Shia Crescent) are described as a "three-front war" instigated by the "Jewish elite," driven by "Zionist imperialism."
The theory that "Jewish privilege" stems from "unique intelligence and ethnocentricity," leading to non-assimilation and historical roles as "exploitative intermediaries" who "subtly undermin[e] local cultures" and fostered statism by offering "exploitation services."
The concept of the "Fatal Embrace," where the Jewish elite's reliance on and manipulation of the state ultimately leads to catastrophic backlash, with ordinary Jews suffering the consequences.
The stark warning that the "Jewish elite’s impulsive, aggressive and genocidal tactics" are pushing the world towards "genocide in Gaza and provoking “limited” nuclear strikes in Russia and Iran," while libertarians remain silent due to fear of "offending Jewish sensitivities."

I. BRICS Fudge, by John Helmer
Key Takeaway 1: BRICS Fudge, by John Helmer
President Vladimir Putin's speech at the BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro on July 6 was notably brief, taking 810 words in the Kremlin English version and 710 in Russian. This brevity was unusual for Putin's public speeches but not for his addresses at previous BRICS summits.
Key Takeaway 2: Putin emphasized the positive aspects agreed upon by all attending states, avoiding contentious issues. The decision-making process for the ten BRICS members in drafting their final communiqué is based on consensus.
Key Takeaway 3: BRICS is expanding significantly, now encompassing over a third of the Earth’s landmass, nearly half the planet's population, and 40% of the global economy. Their combined GDP at purchasing power parity is $77 trillion, a figure substantially ahead of other groups like the G7.
Key Takeaway 4: Putin highlighted the shift from a unipolar international system, which he associated with the "golden billion," to a more just multi-polar world. He stated that the liberal globalization model is becoming obsolete, with business activity gravitating towards developing markets and launching a powerful growth wave.
Key Takeaway 5: The final communiqué, titled "Rio de Janeiro Declaration — Strengthening Global South Cooperation for a More Inclusive and Sustainable Governance," is 31 pages long and avoids terms like "unipolar," "liberal," and "globalization" that Putin dismissed. The document mentions the United Nations 22 times but completely omits any mention of the United States or the diplomatic euphemism "Hegemon".
Key Takeaway 6: The BRICS "fudge" appears largely to be the work of Brazilian President Luis Lula da Silva. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was left to explain Russia's differences with the communiqué's general language but not specific particulars.
Key Takeaway 7: Trump accused Lula of a "witch hunt" against former president Jair Bolsonaro and criticized Brazil's "attacks on Free Elections and the fundamental Free Speech rights of Americans" related to social media platforms. Trump threatened to impose a new Brazil-specific tariff penalty of 50% unless Lula stopped these actions.
Key Takeaway 8: Foreign Minister Lavrov stated that BRICS participants unanimously condemned Israeli and US strikes on Iranian territory as violations of international law, the UN Charter, and IAEA agreements. All BRICS states supported ceasing aggression not only against Iran but also in the Gaza Strip, where the humanitarian situation is catastrophic.
Key Takeaway 9: BRICS countries reiterated their call for accelerated reforms to the IMF's quota and voting power allocation system. They provided consent to the proposed quota increase under the 16th General Review of Quotas (GRQ) and urged other IMF members to do the same.
Key Takeaway 10: There was an unusually strong emphasis on reforming the United Nations, particularly the Security Council, to address the underrepresentation of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. For the first time, detailed consideration was given to reforming the UN Secretariat, explicitly criticizing the overrepresentation of Western nationals in leadership positions.
Key Takeaway 11: Russia is prepared to assist in bridging the gap regarding Iran's enriched uranium stockpiles, offering technological solutions to process surplus highly enriched uranium in Russia and return it to Iran in a form suitable for peaceful energy use. This offer would materialize if both parties are comfortable with Russia's mediation effort.
Key Takeaway 12: The creation of a dedicated BRICS currency for payments has never been considered; instead, the focus is on increasing the role of national currencies in mutual transactions. The Johannesburg summit in 2023 initiated discussions on creating alternative payment platforms to reduce dependence on the dollar and euro.
Key Takeaway 13: BRICS member states are concerned about unilateral tariff and non-tariff measures that distort trade and violate WTO rules. They condemn unilateral coercive measures, including economic and secondary sanctions, which negatively impact human rights, development, health, and food security in targeted states.
Key Takeaway 14: The Rio Declaration strongly condemns all violations of international humanitarian law, including deliberate attacks on civilians and obstruction of humanitarian access, particularly in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. It reiterates grave concern about continuous Israeli attacks against Gaza and the obstruction of humanitarian aid.
Key Takeaway 15: BRICS reaffirms the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, including the right to their independent State of Palestine, and emphasizes unifying the West Bank and Gaza Strip under the Palestinian Authority. They call on the international community to support the Palestinian Authority in reforms and the reconstruction of civil infrastructure.
Key Takeaway 16: The New Development Bank (NDB) is recognized for its growing role in development and modernization in the Global South, with support for its expansion of resource mobilization, innovation, local currency financing, and impactful projects. Progress is acknowledged on the BRICS Cross-Border Payments Initiative and the Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA) to enhance its flexibility and effectiveness.
Key Takeaway 17: BRICS states recall their national positions on the Ukraine conflict and note proposals for mediation and good offices, such as the African Peace Initiative and the Group of Friends for Peace. They expect current efforts to lead to a sustainable peace settlement.
Key Takeaway 18: BRICS reiterates the need to intensify the fight against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, and related intolerance, welcoming the proclamation of a Second International Decade for People of African Descent (2025-2034). They recognize the African Union's efforts to address the legacy of colonialism and the slave trade, emphasizing the return of cultural property to countries of origin.
II. Beware the Priest as Clown, by Fr. John A. Perricone
Key Takeaway 1: Beware the Priest as Clown, by Fr. John A. Perricone
The article criticizes the "clownishness" exhibited by Catholic figures, such as Cardinal Antonio Tagle singing John Lennon's "Imagine" on stage, seeing it as a "spectral reinvention of Catholicism". This behavior is seen as making the Faith into a joke and an "embalming of religion," reducing it to a shadow of its former self.
Key Takeaway 2: This "clownish" approach aims to infantilize religion, making it undemanding and focused on universal comfort and acceptance, leading to "no-fault Catholicism". In this context, concepts like being "banned from the reception of the 'bread'" become unknown, and "God loves everybody, and 'love is love'" prevails.
Key Takeaway 3: Modern parishes, described as "religious deserts," lack the majesty of God, featuring saccharine music, priests glad-handing and waving to fans, and "platoons of 'ministers' settling in their roles like vendors at a state fair". The modernist design of new churches is criticized for resembling laundromats, with sterile aesthetics.
Key Takeaway 4: The "clowning" extends to priests' vestments, which are described as advertising banality, and culminates in the casual reception of Holy Communion, where individuals "take a casual stride to the minister to take the bread and drink the cup in a display of good feeling and nonthreatening 'connecting'". This nonthreatening demeanor of the "joking priest" disarms Catholics, making religion a "no-threat zone" that is easily victimized.
Key Takeaway 5: The priest as clown is seen as shrinking the souls of Catholics by making them content with trivialities, leading to a "fatal switch" where God no longer demands obedience but is a "stroking god" bidding all to "be themselves". This transformation is likened to Hilaire Belloc's warning about tolerating the barbarian and being tickled by irreverence, while "large and awful faces from beyond" watch without a smile.
Key Takeaway 6: A similar "Taglian" performance involved Cardinal Cupich hailing Chicago's native son as pope at a stadium Mass, repeating "Jesus loves you just the way you are" and "all are welcome," including illegal immigrants, accompanied by a mariachi band. This performance is characterized as a "Barnum and Bailey circus," symbolizing the victory of Man over God, the Secular over the Sacred, and the Clown over the Consecrated Priest.
Key Takeaway 7: St. Paul's description of priests as "dispensatores mysteriorum Dei" (stewards of the mysteries of God) is invoked to emphasize the exalted and transcendent nature of the sacerdotal status, embodying the whole man, body and soul. This contrasts with a "truncated Catholicism" that views the indelible mark of Holy Orders as merely interior, denying the metaphysical unity of the human person.
Key Takeaway 8: Symbols hold significant weight in human life because they radiate the interior mystery of the human person. Abandoning symbols like a wedding ring, a policeman's uniform, or a nation's flag would cause protest because the symbol embodies a truth deep in the soul, and setting it aside eclipses the truth itself.
III. Conservative Creators: Don’t Let the Liberal Entertainment Crisis Go To Waste, by Brandon Smith
Key Takeaway 1: Conservative Creators: Don’t Let The Liberal Entertainment Crisis Go To Waste, by Brandon Smith
The common argument that "Liberals are the 'creatives' in western culture and conservatives have no imagination" appears valid if one only considers Hollywood film or New York art and literature scenes, where the majority of creators are progressive. However, this argument falls apart when examining historical periods like the Renaissance, where conservative and Christian artists dominated the creative world for centuries until a "leftist invasion" of media began in the 1940s and took over in the 1970s.
Key Takeaway 2: Conservatives are still numerous in the creative world, but "corporate dollars" dictate exposure, with wealthy benefactors now funding liberal artists based on ideology rather than merit. New talent with openly conservative views in mainstream film, television, writing, comic books, painting, or music are quickly blacklisted and disappear, regardless of their brilliance.
Key Takeaway 3: In literature, progressives control the "bottleneck" through leftist-run literary agencies, making it nearly impossible for conservative authors to get nationally published. The "woke takeover" of literature has led to a market where books are rarely written by men for men, causing male readers to have no market to tap into.
Key Takeaway 4: Woke activists have "hijacked gaming" through extortion and threats of cancellation, injecting woke narratives into new products via "consultation" groups. Similarly, American comic books have been "utterly destroyed by the political left," with feminists and LGBT activists controlling the industry, leading to declining sales because "no one wants to buy leftist drivel".
Key Takeaway 5: The author argues that conservatives are to blame for the current state of pop culture, having dismissed it as "kids stuff" and unimportant compared to politics, while "woke saboteurs" infiltrated the entertainment world and planted "degenerate notions". This infiltration has made it impossible to escape their "cultism," which has been allowed to happen due to conservatives "not paying attention".
Key Takeaway 6: A counter-movement has emerged, successfully organizing boycotts against entertainment platforms producing "woke material," leading to their decline. Despite this, conservative creators still lack access to media markets, resulting in either progressive content or mediocre productions that merely avoid wokeness.
Key Takeaway 7: The solution lies in audiences and investors actively supporting an "alternative content industry". Just as Christian artists once received commissions for grand works, there needs to be a movement to shift production and distribution back into conservative hands.
Key Takeaway 8: The author emphasizes that the "crisis in liberal entertainment cannot be allowed to go to waste" as the progressive media is at its weakest point in years. The goal is not to force conservative politics into art, but to create "meaningful and powerful art again" that removes the "stains of wokeness".
Key Takeaway 9: Film production has become significantly cheaper and more accessible, with near Hollywood-quality equipment available for under $10,000. Conservative filmmakers need a venue for competition and opportunities beyond platforms like YouTube, suggesting a yearly short film or screenplay contest.
Key Takeaway 10: The comic book industry is "BEGGING for revitalization and new blood" as American readers are "hungry for good stories" but are not finding them from Marvel and DC due to the "woke takeover". Creators like Eric July have demonstrated success with non-woke comic projects like "Rippaverse," proving a steady audience exists for such content.
Key Takeaway 11: The author believes that the political left, aided by NGOs and governments, aimed to saturate media with propaganda to make people embrace their ideology as the "new normal". A secondary goal was to "deconstruct western pop-culture" if they failed to control it, effectively "burning it all down" so no one else could have it, which the author admits they are winning at in terms of destroying entertainment.
Key Takeaway 12: Stories and art are crucial catalysts for a civilization to transmit its principles, ideas, dreams, lessons, and morals, a fact understood by leftists. There is still time to save Western culture from "the pit of despair" through an organized effort supporting conservative art, aiming for a new Renaissance that values merit, talent, hard work, and conscience.
IV. EN — LARRY ROMANOFF: Debunking Elon Musk – Part 8 Elon Musk’s Corporate Character, by Larry Romanoff
Key Takeaway 1: EN — LARRY ROMANOFF: Debunking Elon Musk – Part 8 Elon Musk’s Corporate Character, by Larry Romanoff
The source claims that mass media and various websites present Elon Musk as a scientific genius and inventor with unbelievable accomplishments, attributing to him the founding and achievements of numerous futuristic companies like PayPal, Tesla, Neuralink, and SpaceX. However, the author asserts that these claims are "recklessly false" and not supported by evidence, instead being part of a "clear agenda of programmed misinformation infused with fantasy".
Key Takeaway 2: Elon Musk was neither a founder nor co-founder of PayPal, nor did he "own" or solely found Tesla, Neuralink, or OpenAI. His contributions to these enterprises are described as often being more akin to "criminal negligence" than innovative genius, and the original founders frequently left and engaged in bitter lawsuits against him.
Key Takeaway 3: Musk is characterized by a relentless drive for total control, causing "escalating clashes of personality" with anyone of standing or authority who disagrees with him. The record indicates that anyone confronting Musk with "disagreement or inconvenient truths" will be removed.
Key Takeaway 4: Musk is accused of ruthless and obsessive vindictiveness when thwarted, resorting to firing, suing, lying, slandering, and defaming to ruin obstructors. He is also alleged to use company staff as "sexual buffets" and fires female employees who complain of his "advances," in addition to taking safety shortcuts and firing those who leak such information.
Key Takeaway 5: The author argues that Musk has consistently been "out of his depth" in his enterprises but holds an "unrealistic exaggerated opinion of his own knowledge and ability," obsessively insisting on his way even against expert advice. He is described as a "living embodiment of the adage that 'A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing'".
Key Takeaway 6: Musk's corporate record shows "abundant evidence that Musk has an amazing capacity for conniving, dishonesty and manipulation," always seeking his own advantage and often displaying hypocrisy. His "fixation on absolute control, and his pathological resentment at being thwarted, blinds him to reality".
Key Takeaway 7: For Musk, considerations like safety, ethics, and humanity are not operational principles but "merely talking points for manipulation". He exhibits a pathological need for total credit, even for things he did not do, such as "inventing" the Hyperloop or "founding" Tesla, leading to court orders forcing him to admit original founders.
Key Takeaway 8: Musk's "break fast" attitude, or "test-fly-crash" approach, involves pushing products to market before they are ready, resulting in frequent explosions for SpaceX rockets and accidents/deaths for Tesla's self-driving cars. This is framed not as an invention philosophy but as the "pathology of an immature, emotionally-disturbed sociopath using the public for human experimentation without their consent".
Key Takeaway 9: The "Dark Triad" psychological framework (narcissism, Machiavellianism, and subclinical psychopathy) is applied to Musk's corporate character, highlighting his manipulative, exploitative, and socially destructive behavior. Narcissism is seen in his grandiose self-image, entitlement, need for admiration, and lack of empathy, leading to taking credit for others' work and reacting aggressively to criticism.
Key Takeaway 10: Machiavellianism is evidenced by his dishonesty, cynicism, amorality, and use of deception to advance goals focused on power and control, treating relationships transactionally. Psychopathy is manifest in his irrational impulsivity, low empathy, thrill-seeking, shallow emotions, and remorselessness, ignoring risks and violating norms without guilt.
Key Takeaway 11: Individuals like Elon Musk succeed short-term due to personal charm, charisma, audacity, and a penchant for risk-taking, which creates illusions of "visionary leadership". They exploit cynicism, amorality, and absence of empathy, but often leave a "trail of damaged or ruined lives, ethical scandals and organisational chaos" in the long term.
Key Takeaway 12: Dark Triad persons use "disruptive innovation" not for societal good but to fuel narcissism, achieve domination through Machiavellianism, and gain immunity from criminal sanction via psychopathic thrill-seeking and "regulatory capture". Examples include firing Neuralink employees who raised ethical concerns and then firing FDA staff examining Neuralink for violations.
Key Takeaway 13: These individuals morally disengage through semantic manipulation, labeling people as "resources" and whistleblowers as "obstacles," and diffusing responsibility for negative outcomes. The "chilling pattern" is that these traits also "normalize" suffering, with casualties like Tesla deaths or Neuralink monkeys dismissed as unavoidable costs.
Key Takeaway 14: The author intends to provide a "documented recap" of Musk's companies, focusing on the patterns of his character, including obsessive demand for control, self-serving deceit, conniving, manipulation, and vindictiveness. The purpose is to "bury Elon Musk, not to praise him," countering the thousands of media narratives that depict him positively.
Key Takeaway 15: The continuous and prolonged presence of an event or non-event in the news for weeks, months, or years is termed a "media flood," which the author identifies as "indoctrination propaganda being pushed onto you by the powers behind the scenes". This phenomenon is not "news" but serves a distinct, often hidden, purpose.
Key Takeaway 16: The "media flood" concept applies "in spades" to Elon Musk, where a "vast network of propaganda tools" controlled by a small group promotes him as a visionary and inventor, a "virtual god". The Hyperloop story is cited as a case study where celebrity endorsement distorted historical attribution, crediting Musk with an idea active for 200 years that ultimately "was never real" and the company went out of business.
Key Takeaway 17: The author asserts that "substantial Jewish powers that control the mass and social media" carefully planned the "almost interminable blitz" to create the false hagiography of Elon Musk as an inventor, visionary, and genius. Elon Musk is described as an "influencer" whose persona was crafted by these powers for purposes "far beyond the Hyperloop".
Key Takeaway 18: Similarly, Musk is falsely credited by media for the idea of human colonization of Mars, despite it being a dream proposed by hundreds of scientists over many generations. The author warns not to dismiss the idea that "powerful forces are behind the media flood" for such promotions, as "nothing like this happens without planning at a very high level, and with a distinct purpose".
V. EN — LARRY ROMANOFF: Debunking Elon Musk – Part 9 — Zip2, x.com, PayPal, by Larry Romanoff
Key Takeaway 1: EN — LARRY ROMANOFF: Debunking Elon Musk – Part 9 — Zip2, x.com, PayPal, by Larry Romanoff
Elon Musk was not the sole founder of Zip2, his first venture, which was a searchable business directory. The company had three founders, including Kimball Musk and Gregory Kouri, with most startup costs covered by their father, Errol Musk, who provided $28,000.
Key Takeaway 2: From his earliest days, Elon Musk consistently "wanted things done only his way" and "grossly overestimated his own knowledge and ability". For example, his initial programming of Zip2's database was flawed and had to be rewritten by professionals, yet Musk would secretly re-insert his original code at night.
Key Takeaway 3: Elon Musk did not found PayPal, nor was he the sole founder of x.com. PayPal originated from Confinity, a company founded in 1998 by Max Levchin, Peter Thiel, Luke Nosek, and Ken Howery, among others, who developed the online payment system.
Key Takeaway 4: Musk founded x.com in 1999 with Greg Kouri as an online banking business, which initially had no connection to PayPal. He later converted x.com to compete directly with Confinity, allegedly recognizing and copying Levchin and Thiel's idea for digital payments.
Key Takeaway 5: After x.com and Confinity merged in March 2000, with Musk initially the largest shareholder, one of his first actions was to "force Bill Harris out of the company and take on the CEO post for himself". Removing potential challengers is identified as a consistent pattern in Musk's background, starting with Zip2 and continuing to the present.
Key Takeaway 6: Musk insisted on engineers rewriting the codebase his way, similar to Zip2, and was determined to brand the digital payment system as "X," horrifying the Board and executives who feared it would be denigrated as a porn platform. He fired Harris for refusing to support his X rebranding and, contravening Board decisions, instructed staff to rebrand PayPal as "X" or "X-PayPal".
Key Takeaway 7: Elon Musk's "25-year obsession with the letter 'X'" is highlighted through his naming of x.com, attempts to rebrand PayPal as "X," and his naming of SpaceX, Starlink-X, xAI, Tesla Model X, and the rebranding of Twitter to X. This obsession is presented as evidence suggesting neither genius nor sanity.
Key Takeaway 8: Musk was fired as CEO of the combined company (Confinity/x.com) in September 2000 and replaced by Peter Thiel, with the Washington Post reporting blame on Musk's "lack of a cohesive business model" and "technological issues". Insiders claimed that eBay, a major stockholder, only bought the company after the board decided to remove Musk, suggesting his vision and actions would have made the company worthless.
Key Takeaway 9: The author concludes that, similar to Zip2, Elon Musk was "rescued from his own stupidity by wiser men who had more control" with PayPal. Had Musk prevailed in his efforts, both companies' technologies would have been flawed, services might not have worked, and lucrative sales or acquisitions might not have materialized, preventing Musk from gaining the initial capital that facilitated his later ventures.
VI. I Love America, by Nader Terani
Key Takeaway 1: I Love America, by Nader Terani
The author, an Iranian American veteran, expresses profound love for the United States, having proudly served in its Navy and Presidential Honor Guard. He feels his greatest fears are being realized as the US bombs Iran and seems poised for further destabilizing efforts in the Middle East.
Key Takeaway 2: The author believes the United States has immense potential for good, rooted in its founding principles of liberty and human dignity, and its history of freeing the world from Nazi persecution and achieving feats like landing men on the moon. However, he questions whether the nation will allow "parasitic and nefarious entities and interests" to drain its resources and betray its founding promise by pushing it into illegal international actions.
Key Takeaway 3: President Trump is criticized for betraying his own Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, who testified that Iran had not decided to weaponize its nuclear program. Trump dismissed her assessment and the intelligence community's conclusion that Iran was not a nuclear threat, despite Iran's Supreme Leader having issued a "fatwa" against nuclear weapons.
Key Takeaway 4: The author argues that the US administration's "schizophrenic" actions regarding Iran are part of a strategy where "chaos is the point," aiming to distract the American public from an "end game". He speculates that Donald Trump and his corporate oligarch supporters suffer from a "parasitic infection"—a "murderous devotion" to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's "Greater Israel Plan" for destabilizing the Middle East and expanding Israel's borders.
Key Takeaway 5: The "Greater Israel Plan," commissioned by Netanyahu in 1996 ("A Clean Break, A New Strategy for Securing the Realm"), is presented as the underlying motivation for the confounding actions of the Trump and Netanyahu governments. This scheme aims for violent coercion over cooperation, leading to an ever-widening reliance on military force.
Key Takeaway 6: The author cites investigative journalist Christopher Lee Bollyn, who wrote in his book Solving 9-11: The Deception That Changed The World that "the United States of America is by all appearances an Israeli-occupied state," paying an immense annual "tribute" of three thousand million dollars to Israel. This striking explanation is offered for the nation's "voluntary death spiral" driven by the radical Netanyahu government and its "death-cult devotees" led by the American president.
Key Takeaway 7: Netanyahu's "psychopathic schemes" in pursuit of his end game have degraded Israel's international reputation, making it a "pariah nation" outside the United States. Even within the US, the Trump administration's "kowtowing to the whims of Netanyahu’s regime," including crackdowns on free speech and defunding universities, has caused a "massive backlash" from both the left and the right.
Key Takeaway 8: The author believes the greatest threat to Israel is Benjamin Netanyahu himself, whose "unrepentant acts of horror and violence" have cratered American support for Israel. European nations are even considering massive embargoes against the Israeli state.
Key Takeaway 9: The author recounts a past realization at the Korean War Memorial, where the phrase "Freedom Is Not Free" meant soldiers were willing to pay the ultimate price for liberty. He laments how, in the age of Donald Trump, these sacrifices have been betrayed, and how far the nation has fallen.
Key Takeaway 10: The author's mother questioned the safety of writing such an article under Trump's presidency, noting that Trump and his "goon squad" have gone to "the ends of the earth to crush free speech," especially criticism of Israel or the administration's actions. An example is given of a Tufts University student, Rumeysa Ozturk, who was "disappeared off the street by masked agents of the Department of Homeland Security" and imprisoned for an op-ed questioning the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
Key Takeaway 11: The current situation is seen as a tragic repetition of historical patterns where imperial powers in peril can be taken over by "potential tyrants" who destroy sovereign nations abroad and crush sacred freedoms at home. The author emphasizes that this is not a partisan issue but a call for "all people of peace and goodwill" to reclaim the nation's founding promise.
VII. Libertarians’ Jewish Dilemma Fuels Genocide and Nuclear War?, by Geurt de Wit
Key Takeaway 1: Libertarians’ Jewish Dilemma Fuels Genocide and Nuclear War?, by Geurt de Wit
The world is dominated by states that oppress populations through breaches of the non-aggression principle, steered by an "exploitative ruling elite" that privatizes profits and socializes losses. This elite maintains power by deceiving the public and safeguarding its interests through wars that are now risking nuclear conflict and global annihilation.
Key Takeaway 2: A straightforward solution to halt exploitation and avert nuclear annihilation is to "expose the ruling elite and its machinations," as their power depends on deceiving the public into supporting their policies and wars. Such exposure could curb warmongering and promote freedom by highlighting the state's inclination to shrink through decentralization when its expansion via wars halts.
Key Takeaway 3: Libertarian economists and historians, with the notable exception of Murray Rothbard, hesitate to expose the ruling elite due to fear of political correctness and career setbacks. Rothbard sharply criticized this reluctance, arguing that "hard-nosed analysis" of rulers' political and economic interests is crucial to collapse the "basic mystique of government".
Key Takeaway 4: Rothbard identified three distinct and powerful "ethnic power blocks" within the ruling elite that sometimes collaborate and sometimes clash: the WASP Elite (British-Commonwealth and American factions), the Jewish elite (led by the Rothschilds and American proxy dynasties), and the Rockefeller Dynasty (oil money, political ties, and proxy dynasties like Harrimans, Walkers, Bushes, and Trumps). These blocks, despite evolving, have collectively governed the United States as a "power cartel," establishing the Federal Reserve and the international dollar system, and using the military-industrial complex to counter challengers.
Key Takeaway 5: Tensions among these power blocks often shaped U.S. political history and war strategies, as seen in World War I, where Morgans supported the Entente while Jewish elites and Rockefellers opposed the Tsar, a conflict resolved by overthrowing the Tsar to enable U.S. entry. In World War II, a "coalition war" satisfied different interests, with Morgans focused on Europe and Rockefellers on Asia.
Key Takeaway 6: After World War II, the Rockefellers became the "dominant force" in the Eastern Establishment, establishing what Rothbard termed the "Rockefeller World Empire" (RWE), with Morgans and "other financial groups" (implicitly Jewish elites) becoming "compliant junior partners". However, Rothbard noted that the ruling elite's power was limited and faced constant competition from foreign and domestic sources.
Key Takeaway 7: Rothbard argued that when a politician resists the ruling elite, a "lone nut" assassin might emerge, but only with the "acquiescence of other ruling elite power blocks". He noted a pattern where victims of assassinations (JFK, Malcolm X, MLK, RFK, Wallace) were "important anti-Establishment figures" with the capacity to mobilize the populace against rulers, suggesting the pattern being coincidence is "negligible".
Key Takeaway 8: Rothbard's "turn to the right" in his career, driven by his view that wars serve as the "lifeblood of the state," led him to criticize the "mounting influence of the Jews and the Jewish neoconservatives’ relentless warmongering" after the Soviet Union's collapse. He identified neocons as having achieved primacy over their Rockefeller allies in dominating the Republican party.
Key Takeaway 9: Rothbard subtly highlighted the Jewish origins of neoconservatives through their "deep-seated animosity toward 'antisemitic' Russia" and their focus on "the Jewish state Israel as their primary—or sole—concern". He even asserted that neocons were responsible for bringing down President George H.W. Bush for "insufficient devotion to the State of Israel".
Key Takeaway 10: The article argues that a "clear genocide is unfolding in Gaza," while wars rage across Europe and the Middle East, risking nuclear escalation, yet many libertarian media and organizations remain silent on the ruling elite and its wars. This silence is attributed to "fear of acknowledging Jewish influence," especially since many prominent libertarians and institutional funders are Jewish.
Key Takeaway 11: The "Jewish elite" is described as "the elephant in the libertarian room," with a compromise often being to attribute issues to Zionism rather than elite Jews. However, the author argues that Zionism cannot fully account for the "great influence" of the Jewish elite in the U.S. or their role in reshaping politics, media, science, and culture into "aggressive absurdity" over 150 years.
Key Takeaway 12: The explanation for this influence is sought in the "unique intelligence and ethnocentricity of elite Jews," who have maintained a distinct identity for millennia without assimilating, even subtly undermining local cultures. Historically, elite Jewish groups served as "exploitative intermediaries" for ruling elites, offering services like slave trading, tax farming, and monopoly banking, potentially being "pivotal in the emergence and expansion of Western statism".
Key Takeaway 13: The Jewish elite refined the "blueprint for state formation" by leveraging Europe's decentralization and operating from Muslim countries as their base. They also persistently developed the "fractional reserve banking scheme," which was restricted by the Catholic Church for centuries but intensified after Jewish elites supported Protestants in undermining Catholic authority, leading to the establishment of the Bank of England.
Key Takeaway 14: The state empowered the Jewish elite, who in turn ran their own "mini-state" within Jewish communities, characterized by totalitarian rabbinical and merchant control that imposed myriad restrictions on individual liberty. Ordinary Jews were "pawns in a statist game," often suffering attacks and pogroms incited by aggrieved host populations.
Key Takeaway 15: Jewish elites sought to control the state to prevent its betrayal, using their money power to gain media power and employ "divide et impera" tactics, forming coalitions of minorities to undermine traditional values and White conservative leadership. Political parties readily delegated foreign policy to Jewish elites in exchange for support.
Key Takeaway 16: The assassination of JFK is presented as a "clear false flag" and a "coordinated coalition effort" by the ruling elite due to Kennedy's opposition to their imperialist wars, but it was "significantly driven by elite Jewish outrage" over his efforts to register the Jewish lobby and block Israel’s nuclear program. Jewish leaders are implicated in orchestrating the operation, with planning and rehearsal allegedly occurring in Israel.
Key Takeaway 17: Following JFK's assassination, Lyndon Johnson's presidency led to Rockefeller-backed wars in Asia and "Jewish-supported wars in the Middle East," including sanctioning the Israeli assault on the USS Liberty. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Jewish elite challenged the Rockefellers for dominance by initiating the cultural revolution and opposing the Vietnam War, aiming to shift military focus to the Middle East.
Key Takeaway 18: The Jewish elite, shocked by Israel's near-collapse in the Yom Kippur War and Soviet backing of Arab states, retaliated against Rockefeller-Soviet peaceful relations by crafting a plan to dismantle the Soviet Union. This involved partnering with the WASP elite to make the City of London a money laundering hub, backing non-OPEC oil production to depress prices, intensifying the arms race with Reagan/Thatcher, and subverting the Soviet Union from within through Jewish networks.
Key Takeaway 19: The "Anglo-American-Zionist ruling elite" continues to strengthen its hegemony through the "War on Terror," which is seen as a "three-way affair" among the Rockefellers, WASPs, and the Jewish elite. They united to eliminate Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi (who exposed their machinations), but were less aligned on Syria, leading Israel to orchestrate a coup in Ukraine with fascist and Nazi support.
Key Takeaway 20: The Jewish elite, driven by an urgent need to capitalize on their influence, resist sharing equal partnership with Russia and China within the ruling elite, unlike the more patient Rockefellers and WASPs. Their "Zionist imperialism" pursues ultimate dominance, risking the petrodollar with massive sanctions and escalating intelligence activities where Mossad "dominates both CIA and MI6," and even forming alliances with Nazis in Ukraine and ISIS.
VIII. President Trump’s Renewal of America Has Gone Dramatically Wrong, by Paul Craig Roberts
Key Takeaway 1: President Trump’s Renewal of America Has Gone Dramatically Wrong, by Paul Craig Roberts
Donald Trump gained massive political support by promising to restore America to its traditional values and focus on domestic affairs instead of foreign wars. However, the author argues that Trump is now "enmeshed in foreign, not domestic, affairs" everywhere one looks.
Key Takeaway 2: Trump is accused of being led into war with Iran by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. The author questions why Trump hosts Netanyahu, whom he describes as Israel's "oppressor" who has committed "genocide" of Palestine, rather than Putin, Xi, or Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Key Takeaway 3: The author criticizes Trump's interference in Brazilian domestic politics, threatening a 50% tariff on imports unless the government drops charges against former president Bolsonaro. He questions why Trump protects Bolsonaro but not Palestinians, suggesting Trump's actions are incongruous.
Key Takeaway 4: The author directly asks whether Trump and his government realize they are perceived as "nothing but the two-bit punk puppets of Israel led around by Netanyahu with an Israeli ring in their nose". He questions whether Americans will ever again have a president who truly represents America, implying the current administration is ruled by "Zionist Israel".
IX. The Rise of the Prison State: Trump’s Push for Megaprisons Could Lock Us All Up, by John & Nisha Whitehead
Key Takeaway 1: The Rise of the Prison State: Trump’s Push for Megaprisons Could Lock Us All Up, by John & Nisha Whitehead
America is rapidly becoming a "nation of prisons," as President Trump uses his immigration enforcement powers to "lock up—and lock down—the nation". This expansion is described as engineering the largest federal expansion of incarceration and detention powers in U.S. history, with private prison corporations profiting "hand over fist".
Key Takeaway 2: A "police state requires a prison state," and Trump's megabill allocates over $170 billion to create a "vast, permanent enforcement infrastructure" aimed at transforming the American police state into a prison state. $45 billion is specifically allocated to expand immigrant detention, making ICE the best-funded federal law enforcement agency, exceeding the FBI, DEA, and Bureau of Prisons combined.
Key Takeaway 3: Trump's initial promise to target "violent illegal criminals" has expanded into a "mass, quota-driven roundup campaign" detaining anyone deemed a threat, regardless of legal status, at significant taxpayer expense. The majority of those detained (71.7%) have no criminal record and are often long-time residents, laborers, and small business owners who contribute to the economy.
Key Takeaway 4: Removing and imprisoning these individuals devastates families and communities, burdens taxpayers, and weakens the economy, as undocumented workers contribute billions in taxes annually. It costs over $150 a day to detain a single immigrant, totaling over $3 billion annually for ICE detention alone, for workers who often perform jobs many Americans refuse.
Key Takeaway 5: The "math doesn't add up" for Trump's detention-state spending spree, which is seen as "bad economics" that funnels tax dollars into an inefficient bureaucracy that grows government without real public benefit. It is described as a "black hole of surveillance, cement, and razor wire".
Key Takeaway 6: Detained immigrants are exploited as a source of "cheap labor" within the detention facilities themselves, paid as little as 13 cents an hour or nothing at all, while the government and its contractors avoid minimum wage laws. This is characterized as a "taxpayer-subsidized racket" and a "corporatist scheme" where politically connected companies profit from government largesse.
Key Takeaway 7: This exploitation extends beyond immigration detention, with investigations revealing that prisoners in the US supply a multibillion-dollar "hidden labor supply chain" linked to hundreds of popular food brands and supply companies found in most American kitchens and supermarkets. Many goods produced by prisoners are even exported to countries that block products using forced or prison labor.
Key Takeaway 8: Private companies hold 90% of immigration detainees and lobby aggressively for policies that keep beds full, with contracts often guaranteeing minimum occupancy levels, creating "perverse incentives" to detain more people longer. This creates a "forced labor regime" where confinement and exploitation go hand in hand.
Key Takeaway 9: The "enforcement dragnet" is expanding, redefining "enemy of the state" to include anyone the government deems undesirable, not just violent criminals. Even US citizenship is no safeguard against this "carceral state," as the Trump administration is pushing to review and revoke citizenship of Americans deemed national security risks for their political views.
Key Takeaway 10: The government's definition of "national security threat" is so broad and vague that it could encompass peaceful, constitutionally protected activities, including criticism of government policy or policies of allied governments like Israel. An example is Mahmoud Khalil, a legal US resident detained for months by ICE for peacefully opposing Israel's war efforts in Gaza, whose arrest was based solely on his political views.
Key Takeaway 11: Critics from across the political spectrum (left, right, libertarian) have long warned that post-9/11 security state powers granted to fight terrorism and control immigration would be turned inward against dissidents and ordinary citizens. The authors assert that "that moment has arrived" and that power, once granted, rarely shrinks, it merely changes hands.
Key Takeaway 12: The Founders placed limits on federal power to prevent well-meaning government programs from "metastasizing into tyranny". However, these safeguards, like due process and trial by jury, are being "hollowed out" by practices such as predictive policing, no-knock raids, asset forfeiture, and indefinite detention in immigration courts.
Key Takeaway 13: The pageantry surrounding facilities like "Alligator Alcatraz," built in eight days with extensive security features, is not just about capacity but "spectacle," serving as a warning. This expansion is seen as following "blueprints for authoritarian control" to lock down the country, building a "permanent security state" rather than making America safe.
Key Takeaway 14: The authors warn that the government's targets may be the vulnerable today, but the infrastructure is being built for "everyone," laying the legal groundwork for indefinite detention of citizens and noncitizens alike. They caution that a nation cannot remain free while operating as a security state, and a government treating liberty as a threat will soon treat the people as enemies.
Key Takeaway 15: Trump's supporters who cheer the crackdown are "dangerously convinced they have nothing to fear," but history and the Constitution indicate otherwise. The authors urge rejection of the notion that more prisons, power, and fewer rights will lead to safety, and call for the restoration of constitutional limits before they are "gone for good".
X. The Trump-led Republican Party Is Crashing Into a Wall, Which Will Probably End That Party., by Eric Zuesse
Key Takeaway 1: The Trump-led Republican Party Is Crashing Into a Wall, Which Will Probably End That Party., by Eric Zuesse
The article asserts that the Republican Party under Trump is failing, causing disastrous harm globally and domestically. This failure is evidenced by Trump's erratic tariff policies, which have led to increased economic uncertainty.
Key Takeaway 2: Trump's "tariff bazooka" policy, which introduced tariffs on nearly all imports, was based on "weird theories" and caused immediate negative market reactions, including spiking Treasury yields and "disorderly liquidation" in the bond market. Trump was forced to "blink" and temporarily pause his tariffs, which increased economic uncertainty.
Key Takeaway 3: Despite Trump's hope that countries would negotiate trade deals during the 90-day tariff pause, no significant deals were made, forcing the administration to extend the pause and "move the goalposts". The author argues that other countries have largely ignored Trump's tariffs, as US markets are no longer important enough for many of them.
Key Takeaway 4: The author contends that Trump's strategy of using tariffs to regain industrial activity and impose political aims has "failed," with China and the EU remaining unflinching. The damage from heightened trade uncertainty is accumulating, and people are already paying higher prices.
Key Takeaway 5: The June 2025 US-Israeli military assault on Iran is described as a "profound strategic failure" that accelerated "US-led imperial decline" and strengthened "global anti-imperialist forces". This act of aggression, coordinated between Trump and Netanyahu, transformed diplomatic engagement into a "tactical deception for pre-planned strikes".
Key Takeaway 6: The "fraudulent nature of the Western 'rules-based order'" was exposed, with European powers blaming Iran while exonerating Israel after the attacks. Germany's foreign minister condemned Iran's attack even before Iran's retaliation, and Chancellor Merz expressed "greatest respect" for Israel's "dirty work".
Key Takeaway 7: The weaponization of the IAEA's technical assessments for "imperial manipulation" is highlighted, with the IAEA director's report allegedly becoming a "strategic weapon" for US-Israeli aggression. The author argues that by allowing its reports to trigger violence, the IAEA demonstrated its assessments serve "hegemonic interests rather than non-proliferation".
Key Takeaway 8: The US-Israeli attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities are seen as paradoxically accelerating nuclear proliferation by transforming a transparent program into an opaque one beyond Western control. The Western public's "moral numbness" in normalizing attacks on nuclear facilities, which are prohibited by international law, has set dangerous precedents that could boomerang against Western interests.
Key Takeaway 9: The "boomerang effect" extends to the legitimization of indiscriminate attacks that kill civilians, blurring the distinction between combatants and non-combatants, and making Western nuclear infrastructure vulnerable to similar strikes. This "ethical numbness" has created "tangible security risks that will haunt their societies for generations".
Key Takeaway 10: Beyond targeting nuclear capabilities, Israel and the US pursued regime change in Iran through targeted assassinations and attacks on civilian infrastructure like IRIB's television studios, aiming to trigger popular uprisings. However, these actions resulted in "unprecedented national unity" in Iran and proved politically fatal for pro-regime-change opposition figures who supported the foreign attacks.
Key Takeaway 11: The civilian casualties and infrastructure damage intensified anti-American and anti-Israeli sentiment across Iranian society, strengthening pro-resistance elements and discrediting those who advocated for diplomatic engagement with the West. The regime change strategy thus achieved the "inverse of its intended effects".
Key Takeaway 12: The war exposed the "economic unsustainability of imperial military dominance," as Israel rapidly expended expensive interceptor missiles against Iran's relatively cheap drones and missiles. Iran's use of "cost asymmetry" revealed that even advanced air defense systems leave critical infrastructure exposed, leading to a "cost-benefit curve" that "guarantees bankruptcy through victory" for Israel.
Key Takeaway 13: China and Russia's diplomatic solidarity, including condemnation of violations of Iran's sovereignty and unprovoked aggression, signaled the consolidation of "alternative power structures" and a "hardening geopolitical divisions". The aggression confirmed the West seeks Iran's destruction, accelerating Iran's pivot toward integration with China, Russia, and North Korea, forming an "Eastern bloc united against US hegemony".
Key Takeaway 14: The aggression enhanced Iran's credibility as the "primary force resisting Western domination," validating its argument that accommodation with imperial powers is impossible and strengthening anti-imperialist factions in the region. The events proved that "nuclear deterrence remains the ultimate sovereignty guarantee," and "imperial violence represents weakness, not strength".
Key Takeaway 15: The article concludes that the "rot runs throughout the Government," including the President, Congress, and Courts, implying that merely replacing personnel is not a solution. Both the Democratic and Republican parties are seen as controlled by "megadonors" (the approximately 1,000 U.S. billionaires), perpetuating "neoconservative, internationally hyper-aggressive foreign policies" and "neoliberal or 'libertarian' domestic polices" that endanger the world.
XI. The environmental devastation and loss of life in Indonesia caused by China’s EV industry, by Rhoda Wilson
Key Takeaway 1: The environmental devastation and loss of life in Indonesia caused by China’s EV industry, by Rhoda Wilson
A 7 News Australia documentary, "China’s EV shame: the deadly reality behind the ‘clean, green’ electric vehicles," exposes the "environmental devastation" and "toxic environmental catastrophe" caused by China's EV industry in Indonesia. The documentary argues that the truth about electric vehicles "makes a mockery of their sales pitch to protect our children’s future".
Key Takeaway 2: Reporter Liam Bartlett was smuggled into Indonesia’s Morowali Industrial Park, the world’s largest nickel processing facility, producing 50% of global nickel supply. Bartlett described it as "one of the world’s worst industrial landscapes," where damage is being done "in the name of the ‘green EV revolution’" with China's financial backing.
Key Takeaway 3: The EV sector's reliance on fossil-fuel fired power stations and nickel from Indonesia, produced with "lax environmental and labour standards," undermines its "green" reputation. Indonesia’s nickel mining complexes have devastating environmental and health impacts, including air and water pollution, respiratory illnesses, and fatalities among laborers.
Key Takeaway 4: The Australian government is criticized for its inaction and for subsidizing Chinese EV makers, despite the loss of 7,000 jobs in Australia’s nickel industry. This highlights a "lack of leadership and hypocrisy" in promoting a "green" future.
XII. What Underlies the Erosion of Trust in Modern Medicine?, by A Midwestern Doctor
Key Takeaway 1: What Underlies the Erosion of Trust in Modern Medicine?, by A Midwestern Doctor
The author operates on a "law of equilibrium," where observed processes result from competing forces balancing out, and systems tend to return to their equilibrium point over time, despite human attempts to suppress it. The internet has "rapidly accelerated the speed" at which societal equilibria reassert themselves.
Key Takeaway 2: A "gradually increasing encroachment on our health by predatory entities that prioritize profits over people" (e.g., synthetic agriculture, processed foods, pharmaceutical industry) follows a pattern where new products are introduced as "safe and effective," objections are suppressed by science, media, and government, and then something more egregious is done once normalized. The COVID vaccines are cited as an "extreme version" of this pattern, akin to past issues with smallpox, polio, and swine flu vaccines.
Key Takeaway 3: The FDA's legalization of direct-to-consumer drug advertising in 1997 allowed the pharmaceutical industry to "dominate the narrative" through mass media, pushing objections to "fringe conspiracy theories" in alternative media. The HPV vaccine, for instance, had similar issues to the COVID vaccine, with injuries being swept "under the rug" by the FDA and CDC.
Key Takeaway 4: COVID vaccines, being "incredibly dangerous, unneeded and ineffective," caused a "shock that woke a lot of people up" to problems in the medical system, leading to an unprecedented loss of trust in institutions and medicine. A JAMA study found that trust in doctors and hospitals among Americans dropped from 71.5% in April 2020 to 40.1% in January 2024.
Key Takeaway 5: The medical industry is seen as having become "too greedy," effectively "killed their 'goose that laid the golden eggs'" through their conduct during COVID. The author argues that this illustrates how a "distorted equilibrium will reassert itself," and the "major mistake the COVID cartel made" was believing force and suppression could stop it.
Key Takeaway 6: A significant shift is occurring where patients are increasingly asking doctors about "root cause" issues and "more natural cures" for conditions, a trend that was rare five years ago but now affects 80% of patients. Many doctors, particularly in fields like dermatology, view this negatively and "deride the MAHA movement and social media personalities".
Key Takeaway 7: The author strongly advocates that patients are right to ask about root causes, and that conditions can often be reversed by exploring diet, lifestyle, and other factors under one's control. While the medical system is a "miracle" for acute conditions, its "failure at chronic disease management" has "economic, national defense, and spiritual effects that are existential".
Key Takeaway 8: The system of physician reimbursement presents a dilemma: if pay is too low, healthcare workers won't participate, but if specific services are reimbursed too highly, physicians "inevitably gravitate their practices towards doing as much of them as possible to increase their incomes," leading to unnecessary procedures or cut corners. Many medical specialties rely on "bread and butter procedures" like pelvic exams or vaccinations to support practice income, whose benefits may be questionable but subsidize the doctor's practice.
Key Takeaway 9: The American Medical Association's committee setting government reimbursement rates has led to "massive increases in speciality reimbursements" due to exploitation and conflicts of interest. RFK's advocacy for reforming this process is noted as important.
Key Takeaway 10: The shift to Electronic Medical Records (EMRs), touted as a solution, instead made doctors spend more time on notes rather than patient care, leading to copy-pasting and harming patient care, despite being pushed by the government to reduce insurance charges. Increasingly onerous practice requirements have made it nearly impossible for many doctors to maintain private practices, forcing them into corporate employment where they have less autonomy and face pressure to see more patients in shorter times.
Key Takeaway 11: Medical education often covers aspects superficially, focusing on pharmaceutical products and basic skills for recognizing life-threatening conditions, but cuts out subtle aspects like medical ethics and what is needed to make people healthy. A key reason lifestyle treatments and natural therapies are not emphasized is believed to be their inability to be monetized, unlike endless prescriptions and referrals.
Key Takeaway 12: "Western Medicine" is critiqued for being the "only medical system in human history that does not recognize an innate health within the body that facilitates healing". In contrast, many natural medicine schools focus on facilitating actual healing, though their graduates may lack training in recognizing critical medical conditions.
XIII. ☕️ SKY SIGNS ☙ Saturday, July 12, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠, by Jeff Childers
Key Takeaway 1: ☕️ SKY SIGNS ☙ Saturday, July 12, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠, by Jeff Childers
The article reports on "surprising and unexpected" news of national gas prices dropping to a four-year low in Gainesville, Florida, despite being at the peak of summer travel season when demand normally surges. Average gas prices fell nine cents in a week to $3.07 a gallon, with some stations selling as low as $2.77.
Key Takeaway 2: The author highlights "unprecedented Signs in the Heavens," including a "massive, historic gate" (coronal hole) that opened on the Sun, described as a tear in the Sun’s magnetic fabric unleashing a torrent of high-speed solar wind. This hole is tied for the biggest Earth people have ever seen, with previous records all set within the last seven years, indicating a building phenomenon.
Key Takeaway 3: Auroras, traditionally a rare "Northern Lights" phenomenon, have been repeatedly seen dancing over Australia, South America, Europe, the lower United States, and the South Pacific in recent years, becoming "pretty common". This sustained effect is driven by a vast, long-lived coronal hole that keeps rotating back towards Earth, combined with Earth's weakening magnetic field.
Key Takeaway 4: The coronal hole is unprecedented in its size (over a million kilometers, longer than 60 Earths) and persistence, having lasted over nine months and consistently hitting Earth every 27 days. It is described as a "statistical freak of nature" and is still active.
Key Takeaway 5: Three "interstellar visitors" (Oumuamua, 2i/Borisov, and 3i/ATLAS) have been observed in the last eight years, all exhibiting unusual characteristics and defying conventional astrophysics. Oumuamua, for instance, sped up as it left the solar system without visible propulsion, leading Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb to suggest it could be "artificial".
Key Takeaway 6: These objects are remarkable because they are on hyperbolic trajectories (not orbiting the Sun) and arrive at steep, unpredictable angles, not neatly along the Milky Way's galactic plane. ATLAS, the most recent visitor, is estimated to be over seven billion years old, predating our solar system by 2.5 billion years, and is described as "incomparably out of context".
Key Takeaway 7: The author speculates, in line with Avi Loeb's hint, that these objects might be artificial and came to "check on the Sun" rather than Earth, given their trajectories and the Sun's strange behavior. A hypothetical solar sail could "take a solar reading, maybe perform a course-correcting maneuver near perihelion — just like Oumuamua — and then sail off again".
Key Takeaway 8: A link between solar activity and human behavior is supported by centuries of observation and research, with heightened solar output statistically associated with "increased unrest, technological disruptions, and even shifts in human psychology". Historically, wars and revolutions have clustered around peaks in solar cycles, suggesting that when the Sun grows chaotic, so do humans.
Key Takeaway 9: Headlines about the oceans reveal instability consistent with a global circulatory system disturbance, such as the weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and shifting salinity patterns. The "South Atlantic Anomaly" has become the "Global Magnetic Anomaly," a growing danger zone that forces low-Earth satellites to power down when crossing it.
Key Takeaway 10: The author concludes that "all the evidence indicates we live in truly historic times," with "Vast, unknowable changes" coming as the Sun awakens and the Earth shifts. These phenomena are seen as "signals of profound transformation" and "new beginnings," implying humanity is "made for this moment".
Key Takeaway 11: The Senate may hand President Trump a "new tariff bazooka," transforming a prior threat into an asset. Under this latest configuration, Trump would have "full discretion to tariff any country that is 'helping' Russia" (e.g., by buying Russian energy products) up to 500%.
Key Takeaway 12: The largest group of countries potentially targeted by these tariffs includes "the entire European Union," which has been loudly demanding more sanctions against Russia. This is seen as ironic, as 500% tariffs are "not exactly what the Europeans had in mind".
Key Takeaway 13: If passed, this bill would give Trump a "whole new, Congressionally-approved toolkit," blowing existing anti-tariff lawsuits "out of the water" and allowing him to tariff anything at any rate up to 500%. This is presented as a "strategic masterstroke" that could lead to a globally empowered American trade doctrine built on "velocity, flexibility, and Trump’s favorite word: deals".
Key Takeaway 14: News headlines show "unexpected" good financial news, with the US Treasury running a budget surplus due to tariffs, despite experts, journalists, and Democrats "skeptically scoffed" at the idea. This contradicts the expert class's long-standing claims that tariffs would not generate significant revenue and would only hurt consumers.
Key Takeaway 15: The New York Times, instead of reporting on the "historic, tariff-fueled budget surplus," is accused of "too much winning" and warning darkly about "prosperity panic" and markets getting "dangerously over-optimistic". The author states that experts like Larry Summers and Paul Krugman, who dismissed tariffs as "economically illiterate," are now proven wrong.
Key Takeaway 16: Tucker Carlson is noted for a "broad-ranging rampage" where he stated a desire to see "a better country" rather than just progress in culture wars. He linked tariffs to "surprising' budget surpluses, 'unexpected' job gains, and falling prices".
welcome to the lenny and Maria sanchez deep dive podcast show.
Today, we bring you insights from a collection of recent analyses on global affairs, economic shifts, societal trends, and technological developments. We'll be delving into twelve distinct perspectives, each offering unique observations and key takeaways.
First, let's explore "BRICS Fudge, by John Helmer - The Unz Review." This source highlights a notable shift in international relations, particularly concerning the BRICS alliance. President Putin's speech at the BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro on July 6, 2025, was remarkably brief, emphasizing points of consensus among member states, reflecting the group's decision-making process based on agreement. Putin underscored the growing economic might of BRICS, which now accounts for 40% of the global economy and boasts a combined GDP at purchasing power parity of $77 trillion, a figure notably surpassing the G7. A core theme from his address was the assertion that the "unipolar system of international relations" is losing its relevance, being replaced by a more "just multi-polar world," suggesting the "liberal globalization model is becoming obsolete". Interestingly, the extensive "Rio de Janeiro Declaration," the summit's final communiqué, avoids terms like "unipolar" or "globalization" and makes no mention of the United States, despite referencing the United Nations 22 times, an aspect attributed to Brazilian President Lula's influence. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov later clarified Russia's differences, stating that BRICS members unanimously condemned Israeli and US strikes on Iranian territory as violations of international law and called for an end to aggression in Gaza. Lavrov also detailed calls for accelerated reforms to the IMF and the UN Security Council, particularly to address the underrepresentation of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and criticized the overrepresentation of Western nationals in UN Secretariat leadership. On the topic of de-dollarization, Lavrov specified that BRICS is not pursuing a new currency but aims to increase the use of national currencies and develop alternative payment platforms to lessen reliance on the dollar and euro, noting that 90% of mutual transactions are already in national currencies. The communiqué also condemned unilateral tariffs and sanctions inconsistent with WTO rules and supported efforts against racism and colonialism, aligning with the proclamation of a Second International Decade for People of African Descent.
Next, we turn to "Beware the Priest as Clown - LewRockwell." This piece critically examines a perceived decline in traditional religious reverence, particularly within Catholicism. The author expresses alarm at the "clownishness" exemplified by Cardinal Antonio Tagle's public performance of John Lennon's "Imagine," viewing it as a "spectral reinvention of Catholicism" that effectively trivializes and "embalms" the Faith. This approach is characterized as "no-fault Catholicism," which seeks to infantilize religion to ensure everyone feels comfortable and smiling, thereby disarming adherents against critical scrutiny. The article argues that this trivialization is more dangerous than outright heresy because it transforms religion into a "no-threat zone," ultimately leading to a "shrinking" of Catholic souls by promoting a "stroking god" over one that demands obedience. The author laments the ascendancy of the secular over the sacred, and the entertainer over the "Consecrated Priest", describing it as a "totalizing reconfiguration of Catholicism". The piece underscores the profound importance of symbols in human life, asserting that they "radiate the interior mystery of the human person" and that discarding them amounts to "eclipsing the truth itself".
Our third source is "Conservative Creators: Don’t Let the Liberal Entertainment Crisis Go To Waste - LewRockwell." This article challenges the prevailing idea that creativity in Western culture is exclusive to liberals, pointing out that conservatives and Christians historically dominated the creative arts for centuries. It contends that the current landscape, where liberal artists receive most exposure and funding, is due to "corporate dollars" and "ideology and politics" rather than merit, often resulting in conservative talent being "blacklisted". The source provides examples of this gatekeeping in literature, where leftist-controlled literary agencies hinder conservative authors, and in gaming and comic books, where "woke activists" have infused narratives that alienate audiences. It highlights the success of alternatives like Japanese Manga, which now dominates the comic market, and notes that entertainment platforms producing "woke material" are declining due to boycotts. The author proposes a solution: for audiences and investors to actively support an independent, alternative content industry focused on creating "meaningful and powerful art" that is free from "the stains of wokeness". The article suggests that advances in digital filmmaking have made film production significantly cheaper, opening opportunities for conservative filmmakers, and calls for new venues like film or screenplay contests. Ultimately, it suggests that the "woke takeover" also aims to "deconstruct western pop-culture" if it cannot be controlled, leading to a "death of creativity in the west". The author stresses the crucial role of stories and art in transmitting a civilization's principles, ideas, dreams, and morals, and advocates for an organized effort to support conservative art, fostering a "new Renaissance" rooted in merit, talent, hard work, and conscience.
Next, we delve into "EN — LARRY ROMANOFF: Debunking Elon Musk – Part 8 Elon Musk’s Corporate Character." This source presents a highly critical perspective on Elon Musk's public image and business practices. It argues that the mass media has largely perpetuated a false narrative about Musk's achievements, portraying him as a singular founder and visionary for numerous companies without sufficient evidence. The article asserts that Musk was neither a sole founder nor a co-founder of major entities like PayPal, Tesla, Neuralink, or OpenAI, and his role in SpaceX was not singular, with many original founders departing due to conflicts with him. It describes Musk as having an obsessive need for "total control," and a ruthless tendency to eliminate challengers or those who present "inconvenient truths," often resorting to "firing, suing, lying, slandering, [and] defaming". A key criticism is Musk's "break fast" approach—"test-fly-crash" for rockets and "test-drive-crash" for self-driving cars—which pushes products to market prematurely, leading to significant accidents, deaths, and even animal euthanasia, characterized as the "pathology of an immature, emotionally-disturbed sociopath". The author applies the "Dark Triad" psychological framework—narcissism, Machiavellianism, and subclinical psychopathy—to analyze Musk's corporate behavior, highlighting his grandiose self-image, lack of empathy, dishonesty, focus on power, thrill-seeking, shallow emotions, and remorselessness. The source concludes that Musk's short-term successes are driven by charisma and risk-taking, rather than competence, and that his public statements on "safety," "ethics," and "humanity" are merely "talking points for manipulation". Furthermore, it claims that a "media flood" orchestrated by "substantial Jewish powers that control the mass and social media" has meticulously crafted a "totally false hagiography" of Musk as a "visionary" and "scientific genius" for ulterior motives beyond just his projects.
Following that, we examine "EN — LARRY ROMANOFF: Debunking Elon Musk – Part 9 — Zip2, x.com, PayPal." This source continues the critical analysis of Elon Musk's early ventures. It clarifies that Musk was not the sole founder of Zip2, his first company, which had multiple founders and saw its majority ownership transferred to an institutional investor before its eventual sale. The article notes that Musk's initial "programming" for Zip2 was flawed and required professional rewriting, and that his attempt at a "palace revolt" in 1998 against the successful direction of the company proved to be no benefit to him. Crucially, the source states that Elon Musk did not found PayPal; rather, it originated from a company called Confinity, established by Max Levchin, Peter Thiel, and others in 1998. Musk, having founded x.com as a competing online banking business, appears to have copied the digital payment idea from Confinity. After the merger of Confinity and x.com, Musk, despite becoming the largest shareholder, quickly forced the acting CEO, Bill Harris, out of the company to assume the role himself, illustrating a pattern of "removing potential challengers". His insistence on rebranding the payment system as "X" or "X-PayPal," against the unanimous opposition of the board, ultimately led to his being fired as CEO and ousted from the company in September 2000. The article suggests that PayPal's eventual sale to eBay was contingent on Musk's removal, implying that "wiser men who had more control" repeatedly "rescued" Musk from his "own stupidity" in both the Zip2 and PayPal ventures. The source concludes by highlighting Musk's "25-year obsession with the letter 'X'," extending from company names to his child's name, viewing it as indicative of neither "genius nor sanity".
Sixth on our list is "I Love America - LewRockwell." This article expresses profound concern from an Iranian American veteran's perspective regarding US foreign policy and its relationship with Israel. The author articulates deep fears about the US-Israeli military actions against Iran, believing they will escalate into a perilous broader conflict in the Middle East. A central point of contention raised is the discrepancy between President Trump's aggressive stance toward Iran and the intelligence community's assessment, as testified by Tulsi Gabbard, that Iran was not actively weaponizing its nuclear program. The article attributes the Trump administration's shifting narratives to a strategic ploy aimed at distracting the American public from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's "Greater Israel Plan," which seeks to destabilize the region and expand Israel's borders. This strategy, it claims, was officially commissioned by Netanyahu in 1996 in the document "A Clean Break, A New Strategy for Securing the Realm". The author suggests that substantial financial contributions from pro-Israel billionaires to Trump's campaign are justified by the vast potential gains in land and resources in the Middle East. The piece echoes investigative journalist Christopher Lee Bollyn's view that the United States appears to be an "Israeli-occupied state" due given the significant annual financial support it provides to Israel. The author also notes that Netanyahu's actions have damaged Israel's international standing and created domestic backlash in the US against the Trump administration's deference to the Israeli regime. A grave concern highlighted is the Trump administration's efforts to "crush free speech," particularly criticism of Israel, citing the case of a US resident detained for peacefully opposing Israel's war in Gaza under a broad interpretation of national security threats. The article concludes with a stark warning against leaders who "destroy sovereign nations abroad and crush sacred freedoms at home," calling for unity to resist a "death cult of End Times fundamentalists".
Next, we turn our attention to "Libertarians’ Jewish Dilemma Fuels Genocide and Nuclear War?, by Geurt de Wit - The Unz Review." This extensive analysis posits that oppressive states globally are controlled by an "exploitative ruling elite" that accrues wealth through cartels, fiat currency, and perpetuating wars. The author argues that a primary solution to halt exploitation and prevent nuclear annihilation lies in exposing the "ruling elite and its machinations," as their power depends on deceiving the public. A significant criticism is directed at libertarian scholars who, despite being well-equipped, hesitate to investigate this elite due to concerns about "political correctness" or "career setbacks," with Murray Rothbard identified as a notable exception. Rothbard, according to the source, delineated three distinct yet sometimes collaborating "power blocs" within this elite: the WASP Elite, the Jewish elite, and the Rockefeller Dynasty. These factions, despite their occasional clashes, reportedly cooperated to establish foundational financial structures like the Federal Reserve and the international dollar system, using the American military-industrial complex to assert dominance. The article asserts that the Jewish elite, particularly neoconservatives, has gained increasing influence, achieving "primacy" over their Rockefeller allies within the Republican party and persistently pushing for wars. A pivotal claim is that the assassination of John F. Kennedy "significantly strengthened the Jewish elite’s position", driven by their "outrage over Kennedy’s efforts to register the Jewish lobby and block Israel’s nuclear program". Furthermore, the source alleges that Mossad, with the aid of the CIA and MI6, "orchestrated the 9/11 attacks" as a "catalytic event" to justify the "War on Terror", thereby protecting the petrodollar, Rockefeller oil interests, and critically, "Israel’s geostrategic objectives". While the broader "Anglo-American-Zionist ruling elite" seeks to strengthen its hegemony, the article notes that Russia and China do not aim to dismantle the petrodollar system but rather seek "equal partnership". The Jewish elite, however, is characterized by its impatience and urgent need to "raise the stakes swiftly" to establish "Greater Israel" and ensure its security, even to the point of risking nuclear conflict and provoking "limited" nuclear strikes in Russia and Iran. The author concludes by criticizing American libertarians for "self-censorship" and remaining "silent on Jewish influence" to avoid "offending Jewish sensitivities," a silence that risks leading to a "police-warfare state, genocide, nuclear war and global holocaust".
Eighth on our list is "President Trump’s Renewal of America Has Gone Dramatically Wrong - LewRockwell." This article argues that President Donald Trump has significantly deviated from his initial campaign promises to restore America's traditional values and focus on domestic issues. Instead, the author contends that Trump is deeply "enmeshed in foreign, not domestic, affairs". The piece accuses Trump of being guided into war with Iran by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and of interfering in the internal politics of Brazil by threatening tariffs unless charges against former president Bolsonaro are dropped. A critical question raised is the inconsistency of Trump's foreign policy: protecting Bolsonaro while simultaneously failing to protect Palestinians and hosting Netanyahu, who is seen as responsible for the "genocide" in Palestine. The author strongly implies that Trump and his administration are widely perceived as "two-bit punk puppets of Israel led around by Netanyahu with an Israeli ring in their nose," questioning whether America will ever again have a president who truly represents its own interests.
Moving on, we discuss "The Rise of the Prison State: Trump’s Push for Megaprisons Could Lock Us All Up - LewRockwell." This source warns that the United States is rapidly transforming into a "nation of prisons," driven by the Trump administration's unprecedented expansion of federal incarceration and detention powers, heavily influenced by private prison corporations. A significant part of this expansion includes a $45 billion allocation specifically for immigrant detention, which would make ICE the most well-funded federal law enforcement agency, potentially broadening its targets beyond undocumented immigrants to include activists, journalists, and even citizens. The article points out that a large majority of ICE detainees (71.7%) have no criminal record and are often productive members of society, whose detention paradoxically burdens taxpayers and weakens the economy. It alleges that detained immigrants are exploited as "cheap labor" within these facilities, often working for pennies or nothing, a practice that saves the government and its contractors significant labor costs. This system is characterized as a "taxpayer-subsidized racket" and a "corporatist scheme" where politically connected companies benefit from government funds, creating perverse incentives for increased detentions. The author warns that the expanding "enforcement dragnet" is broadening the definition of "enemy of the state," indicating that citizenship may no longer offer protection against arrest, detention, and deportation for political views, citing the case of Mahmoud Khalil, who was detained for opposing Israel's war in Gaza. The piece concludes that these powers, initially granted for counter-terrorism and immigration control, are being "turned inward" against dissidents, leading to a "permanent security state" that erodes constitutional protections and ultimately endangers the liberty of all Americans.
Tenth, we analyze "The Trump-led Republican Party Is Crashing Into a Wall, Which Will Probably End That Party. - LewRockwell." This article asserts that the Trump-led Republican Party is in a state of severe decline, causing significant harm to both the American populace and the international community. It criticizes President Trump's tariff policies, particularly his "Liberation Day" tariffs, as being based on "weird theories" that have led to economic turmoil and a sharp increase in Treasury yields. The author notes that Trump was compelled to pause his tariffs due to negative market reactions, and subsequent attempts to secure new trade deals have failed, exacerbating economic uncertainty. The piece argues that Trump's tariff strategy, intended to boost industrial activity and exert political influence, has "failed," as major trade partners like China and the EU have not yielded. The source includes a summary of an article by University of Tehran scholars, Zeinali and Larijani, which frames the June 2025 US-Israeli military assault on Iran as a "profound strategic failure" that accelerated "US-led imperial decline". This assault, they contend, exposed the "fraudulent nature of the Western 'rules-based order'," as European powers condemned Iran while excusing Israel's "illegal strikes". The article also highlights the "weaponization" of the IAEA's technical assessments, which were allegedly used to justify "pre-planned aggression" against Iran's nuclear facilities, an action that paradoxically accelerates nuclear proliferation and normalizes attacks on such infrastructure globally. It points out that the US-Israeli strategy of regime change in Iran, involving targeted assassinations and attacks on civilian infrastructure, failed to spark an uprising, instead fostering "unprecedented national unity" and strengthening anti-American and anti-Israeli sentiment. Furthermore, the conflict revealed the "economic unsustainability of imperial military dominance," as Israel's expensive interceptors struggled against Iran's cheaper drones and missiles, creating an "upside-down cost curve" that risks bankruptcy. The diplomatic solidarity shown by China and Russia toward Iran signifies "hardening geopolitical divisions" and the consolidation of an "Eastern bloc". The author concludes by stating that simply replacing government personnel is insufficient, as the "rot runs throughout the Government," controlled by billionaires who perpetuate "neoconservative, internationally hyper-aggressive foreign policies" and "neoliberal or 'libertarian' domestic policies".
Moving on to the eleventh source, "The environmental devastation and loss of life in Indonesia caused by China’s EV industry - The Expose." This article uncovers the significant environmental and human costs associated with China's electric vehicle industry, particularly its reliance on nickel mining in Indonesia. It references a "7 News Australia" documentary, "China’s EV shame," which exposes the "environmental devastation" and "loss of life" driven by the production of so-called "clean, green" electric vehicles. The core issue is that EVs, despite their eco-friendly marketing, depend on nickel sourced from Indonesia, where it is produced using fossil-fuel fired power stations and with "lax environmental and labour standards," thereby undermining their "green" reputation. The report specifically details the conditions at Indonesia’s Morowali Industrial Park, the world’s largest nickel processing facility, describing it as "one of the world’s worst industrial landscapes". The Chinese-backed nickel mining operations in Indonesia are highlighted for their "devastating environmental and health impacts," including severe air and water pollution, and a documented increase in respiratory illnesses and fatalities among laborers. The article also criticizes the Australian government's perceived inaction and its subsidies for Chinese EV manufacturers, suggesting this demonstrates a "lack of leadership and hypocrisy" in promoting a genuinely green future, especially given job losses in Australia's own nickel industry.
Finally, we consider "What Underlies the Erosion of Trust in Modern Medicine? - LewRockwell." This source delves into the systemic reasons behind the declining public trust in modern medicine, framing it through a "law of equilibrium" where societal imbalances eventually self-correct. It posits that "predatory entities," such as the pharmaceutical industry, prioritize profits over human well-being, consistently introducing products as "safe and effective" and then suppressing objections when problems emerge, often with the complicity of science, media, and government. The COVID-19 pandemic and its vaccines are cited as a stark example, leading to a dramatic drop in public trust in doctors and hospitals—from 71.5% in April 2020 to 40.1% in January 2024. The article argues that the medical industry became "too greedy" during COVID, effectively "killed their 'goose that laid the golden eggs'," through their conduct. A significant shift in patient behavior is highlighted: 80% of patients now inquire about "root cause" issues and "more natural cures," a substantial increase from just 0% five years prior, indicating a growing desire to take personal control over health. The author criticizes the conventional medical system's failure in chronic disease management and suggests that natural therapies and lifestyle interventions are neglected because they "aren’t possible to monetize," unlike the continuous stream of prescriptions and referrals that drive industry profits. Furthermore, the piece points to flaws in medical education, which often provides only superficial coverage of topics, emphasizes monetizable treatments, and neglects crucial aspects like medical ethics. Concerns are also raised about the American Medical Association's role in setting reimbursement rates, which has allegedly led to "massive increases in speciality reimbursements", and the implementation of electronic medical records (EMRs), which are seen as hindering patient care by increasing administrative burdens for doctors. Finally, the article notes that increased regulations and the shift towards corporate employment for doctors have reduced their autonomy, pressuring them to see more patients in less time, making it difficult to address complex "root cause" questions.
