welcome to the lenny and Maria sanchez deep dive podcast show.

First, we delve into "American Dream Is Impossible Until Root Causes of Treason Are Eliminated" from LewRockwell.com. This source posits that the root cause of treason and the denial of the American Dream lies in the failure of corrupt elected officials and administrative state bureaucrats to obey the Constitution. This constitutional disregard has led to immense public wealth squandered on unconstitutional wars for profit, foreign aid, and financing various entities like "Communist cities," "usurped state functions," and "corporate welfare". The author even asserts that financing "Invaders" is an act of treason. These officials are held accountable for the deaths of 105,000 U.S. military members and millions of civilians in the last 80 years, all for profit and without a single Declaration of War, even though the United States cannot be invaded by a foreign power but can be defeated from within by a "20 million strong Democratic/Communist army of Illegal invaders". The article suggests that the U.S. military should be brought home from 150 countries, as there is no reason to defend Europe or Israel. A significant claim is made that the government is controlled by the "Jewish Lobby" and the "Parasitic Super-Rich Ruling Class (PSRRC)," with officials reportedly "petrified" by this influence. Republicans who claim to support "America First" are accused of lying, as Trump's actions reduce their potential for receiving bribes by cutting income for the PSRRC. The source emphasizes that violating the sacred Oath to protect and defend the Constitution legally disqualifies officials from office. To restore the American Dream and honest government, the author suggests that "sure and certain punishment" for constitutional violations, including "public hanging of Traitors" and prison sentences for criminals, would be effective motivators. Alternative funding for the federal government could involve tariffs and excise taxes, eliminating the income tax. Finally, it is estimated by the author and others that a majority of the Federal Establishment is a "Criminal Enterprise," and Public Service Law Firms are criticized for focusing on outcomes rather than addressing the root causes of criminality.

Next, we explore "Benjamin Netanyahu is Coming to Town Again" by Philip Giraldi from The Unz Review. This analysis points out that Benjamin Netanyahu's repeated visits to Washington signal a clear demand for something, as he "never likes to hear anyone tell him 'No!'". The American Jewish community and Israel are depicted as collaboratively mobilizing significant resources to meet his demands. The article asserts that the "Israel Lobby" wields considerable control over the U.S. Government, capable of imposing "serious guilt trips" on those who challenge their agenda, often leveraging the "holocaust" as a persuasive tool. The author suggests that Jews have cultivated a "caricature" of perpetual victimhood, which then entitles them to "extraordinary measures" and a "license to kill" in response to perceived threats. Israel's "strategic perspective," according to the article, necessitates an ongoing enemy, who is then demonized with "blood libels" of antisemitism, a narrative that allegedly overlooks the mass extermination of Arabs. Giraldi speculates that Netanyahu's Washington visit aims to convince Donald Trump to initiate regime change in Iran, a goal Israel purportedly cannot achieve unilaterally. The author argues that Iran poses "no threat" to the United States or Israel, provided Israel abandons its pursuit of regional dominance and expansion. Consequently, Netanyahu is expected to fabricate threats regarding Iran. A striking theory is presented: if Trump remains unpersuaded, Netanyahu might resort to "false flag operations," possibly even detonating one of Israel's own nuclear weapons on an American base, to then blame Iran and provoke a U.S. war against Tehran. The article highlights Israel's history of willingness to harm Americans, citing the 1967 USS Liberty attack and recent U.S. citizen deaths in Gaza, with the "Israel Lobby" maintaining support from Congress and the media. The author also notes that both Trump and Netanyahu have reportedly discussed evacuating Tehran, indicating a long-standing consideration of nuclear options against Iran.

Now, let’s discuss "Central banker tells his nephew: We control the press and the politicians" from The Expose. This piece reveals a profound insight from Sir Harry Pilkington, a former director of the Bank of England, who explicitly advised his nephew, Justin Walker, in 1972: "never believe anything you read in the press because we control it" and "never, ever believe a politician when they say they can do something because they can’t unless we say they can". This conversation ignited Walker's deep interest in the financial system. Walker asserts that banks create money "out of thin air," describing the private central banking world as "a law unto itself," which controls 60 central banks globally through the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). The City of London is identified as a powerful global financial hub with immense influence. Walker champions a "sovereign national credit" system, exemplified by the Bradbury Pound, where a nation generates its own debt-free, interest-free currency. The Bradbury Pound successfully averted a bank collapse during World War I and enabled debt-free war financing, but its use was halted when Chancellor David Lloyd George allegedly "caved in to the central bankers". Historically, the American War of Independence is linked to the City of London's attempts to impose the gold standard and debt-based loans over the colonies' self-issued Colonial Script. The article claims that elite politicians are merely "useful idiots" for central bankers, and former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss's downfall is attributed to a "powerful economic establishment". Walker stresses that the 2008 financial collapse was "orchestrated" by banks, who can create and remove money at will, and that the entire financial system is an "almighty scam". The BIS, overseeing 95% of the world's money, facilitates meetings where major banking dynasties like the Rothschilds, Warburgs, and Rockefellers issue instructions to central bankers. Walker warns against central bank digital currencies and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, claiming they originated from the central banking system. He advocates for a lawful, accountable sovereign government to control its money for national prosperity. The trillion-dollar "derivatives bubble" is described as a "Sword of Damocles" over the global economy, which a new Bradbury Pound system could mitigate. The current economic model is criticized for fostering "mass mindless production to meet mass mindless consumerism," primarily benefiting the "1%". Even countries like Russia and China are implicated, with their central banks participating in the BIS, suggesting narratives of BRICS challenging the global order are misleading. Crucially, Walker asserts that sovereign government control over money and the right to trial by jury are vital safeguards against tyranny, enabling juries to nullify unjust legislation. The unelected "Remembrancer" of the City of London Corporation is highlighted as a direct influence on British Parliament, representing financial interests. Historical figures like Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy are cited for their attempts to challenge the existing financial system, with Kennedy's Executive Order 11110 causing him to be "deeply unpopular" with powerful financial families before his assassination. Future financial collapses are envisioned as "bail-ins," where banks legally seize a percentage of public deposits to cover their debts, reinforcing that "the money in your bank account is not your money". Lastly, the British Constitution Group and UK Column have worked to expose high-level paedophile rings, connecting them to central banking control.

Moving on to "High-Level Endurance Training Increases Atrial Fibrillation Risk And Decreases Your Lifespan" by Joachim Bartoll from Joachim Bartoll Official. This source highlights a recent study showing that 1 in 5 former elite Australian rowers aged 45-80 suffered from atrial fibrillation (AF), a risk nearly seven times higher than a control group, with elevated rates of new AF cases as well. The author states this is not surprising, attributing it to the extremely high training volume typical of elite endurance athletes. A key point is made that elite athletes frequently use performance-enhancing drugs, which further contribute to the enlargement and thickening of the heart, particularly the left ventricles. The risk of AF persists years after athletes retire and is not merely genetic. This phenomenon is not limited to rowers but applies to any endurance training that consistently stresses the heart for prolonged periods. The author also notes that elite bodybuilders experience similar heart-related early deaths, suggesting diet is a significant factor even with less training. The article recommends wearable monitoring devices, ideally in a ring format to minimize electromagnetic radiation, for detecting AF, especially for individuals with a history of high-level training, drug use, or problematic diets. Post-retirement, former rowers exhibited persistent cardiac changes, including larger left ventricles, lower heart rates, and prolonged PQ and QT intervals. Atrial fibrillation is defined as an irregular heartbeat that heightens the risk of blood clots and stroke, and can progress to ventricular fibrillation, leading to cardiac arrest and sudden death. Prolonged PQ and QT intervals are critical indicators associated with an increased risk of abnormal heart rhythms and sudden cardiac death. The author firmly states that intensive endurance exercise causes long-lasting heart enlargement, potentially irreversible if scarring occurs. While alcohol can cause heart enlargement, it does so by weakening and stretching the muscle, distinct from the thickening seen in athletes. The author strongly argues against "regular exercise" beyond simple manual labor, walking, or light strength training, calling intense and elite-level training "completely idiotic in terms of health and longevity". The article concludes by asserting that "unnatural stress from extreme amounts of exercise" damages human physiology, often overlooked due to "propaganda that exercise is good for you," especially when combined with plant-based and processed foods, leading to rapid damage accumulation. The author advocates for a "proper human carnivore diet" and extended fasting for heart healing, identifying as a "truth-seeker" and founder of the uncensored online community Ungovernable.se.

Next, we examine "Stand By For American Implosion" by Kevin Barrett from The Unz Review. This source contends that the United States is showing numerous signs of "implosion," exemplified by Trump's imposition of martial law in Los Angeles in June 2025 during immigration protests that spiraled into riots. Critics allege that Trump intentionally provoked the violence by deploying federal troops to aggressively confront peaceful demonstrators. Trump's stated ambition is to be remembered as the "mass deportation president," and his pressure on ICE has led to the random targeting of Hispanic communities, subjecting individuals to abuse and detention under "horrendous conditions". Another significant internal division cited is the widespread public disapproval of America's "endless wars". A pivotal claim is that Trump's decision to join Israel's "war of aggression" in June 2025 by bombing Iranian nuclear sites is likely to destabilize his administration and potentially the entire "empire". A "crushing majority" of Americans, including over half of Trump's MAGA base (who oppose endless wars) and the entire Democratic party, are reportedly against this war. U.S. lawmakers are cited as recognizing that Trump's war order on Iran is "grossly unconstitutional," given that Congress, not the President, holds the power to declare war. This war is unique in its unpopularity from the outset, lacking any "rally round the flag" effect seen in previous conflicts. The article suggests that the highly divided U.S. cannot be united by war and is destined to lose this "misbegotten war for genocide". A "wild card" highlighted is the potential for false flag operations, given Israel's extensive history of such actions (e.g., King David Hotel bombing, Lavon Affair, USS Liberty attack, and alleged involvement in the Kennedys' assassinations and 9/11). A former U.S. military whistleblower, Gwenyth Todd, reportedly revealed a 2007 Zionist conspiracy with U.S. officials to sink an American ship and blame Iran. However, the article notes that Americans, particularly Trump's base, are becoming "false-flag savvy," with prominent conservative commentators like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens publicly discussing evidence of Israeli-orchestrated false flags. The author warns that Zionists should "tread carefully," as an exposed false flag could lead to Israel's "final false flag fail". Ultimately, the source concludes that the United States is heading towards a combination of "retrenchment and collapse".

Next, we turn our attention to "The Empire Has Accidentally Caused the Rebirth of Real Counterculture in the West" from LewRockwell.com. This source enthusiastically declares the emergence of a "real, politically meaningful counterculture" in the Western world, demonstrated by widespread support for Palestine and opposition to what are described as Israel's "genocidal atrocities". A "historical landmark moment" is identified in the 2025 Glastonbury Festival, where crowds chanted "Death, death to the IDF" and waved Palestinian flags. The persecution of artists like Bob Vylan and Kneecap by Western governments for their pro-Palestine stance is highlighted as evidence of the suppression of free thought and expression concerning Israel. The author views this as the first instance of genuinely meaningful rebellion in Western counterculture since the Vietnam War. Historically, the ruling class has stifled politically relevant counterculture through direct assaults, like COINTELPRO, and by controlling major media platforms that refuse to promote threats to the "imperial status quo". The article differentiates this new counterculture from previous forms of "empty rebellion"—such as punk rock's "fuck the man" chants without tangible goals, Satanic panic bands, or celebrity social justice advocacy—which posed no threat to real power. The powerful, the author contends, are unconcerned with superficial acts of defiance but "care very much" when public consent for their military and geopolitical agendas is undermined. The article suggests that the attempts to suppress support for Palestine will paradoxically increase its appeal among young people with a defiant streak. This generation, facing economic hardship (poorer and sicker than their predecessors, unlikely to own homes), has strong motivations to express defiance against the "crusty old bastards" who refuse to address environmental disaster and actively support what they see as genocide. The source concludes that the rulers are visibly "afraid" of this burgeoning, politically significant counterculture.

Now, we consider "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Anglo-American Empire" from LewRockwell.com. This article applies a timeless observation about decaying cultures to the contemporary Anglo-American system. It highlights five marks of decay: an obsession with displaying affluence rather than building wealth; a preoccupation with sex and its perversions; art becoming "freakish and sensationalistic" instead of creative; a growing disparity between the very rich and very poor; and an increased demand to live off the state. The author notes that current social discourse is dominated by "celebrity nobodies" who often attain high office, citing examples of alleged degeneracy among figures like Sir Keir Starmer and Fr Bill Currie, and mentions Jeffrey Epstein's black book. Modern art is criticized, and there's a specific mention of "Zelensky’s Brownshirt enforcers" suppressing Russian culture, likening it to book burning. A central theme is that wealth accumulation has shifted from adding material value to "financial sleights of hand". The Anglo-American stock market system, originally for risky ventures, is depicted as "derailed". The current financial focus is on "milking captive audiences" through "needless pharmaceuticals, narcissistic purchases and nihilistic wars," with politicians allegedly "bought off," leaving ordinary citizens vulnerable to exploitation. The emphasis is on wasting weapons in NATO's "endless wars," with taxpayers footing the bill in a "risk free scam" for the elite. It's claimed that Wall Street hedge funds effectively own the RAF's Top Guns, profiting from military spending. The author asserts that technology has rendered the general public largely "irrelevant to the economy," reducing them to "unthinking consumers" or "raw inputs into cosmetics" (referencing abortion laws), and even implying potential for euthanasia if they cannot "add value" to the elite. Disturbingly, the author suggests a common "point" shared by Hitler and Anglo-Americans regarding "death factories". The article alleges that Nazi networks, through families of Waffen-SS members, have thrived in modern Western countries. Despite their "well-oiled propaganda industry," the Anglo-Americans are losing their "lustre" due to a failure to innovate and regenerate. The recent Iranian-Israeli conflict is presented as evidence, with Iranian missiles performing effectively, suggesting Iran will no longer be a buffer state and will sell its missile technology to Russia and China. NATO's informal networks and military academies are deemed obsolete, as future conflicts will rely on STEM research from China and Iran. The concept of buffer states is obsolete, with Baltic states and former Finnish allies acting as staging posts for attacking Russia, where the risks of "Armageddon" are considered "well worth it" for access to Russian natural resources. Geopolitical intrigues over the Nile River waters are mentioned, as is Israel's annexation of Syria's water supply and "robbery" of the River Jordan. The Anglo-Americans are seen as suffering from centuries of privilege, leading to "thinned out economies" and their people becoming a "sordid gaggle of degenerates". The author states that urgent remedial actions—such as streamlining judicial and loan sharking systems, cracking down on drug and perversion industries, and interning corrupt politicians—are needed but unlikely to happen, as the West continues to "rob Europe of the last of its sovereign wealth" and engage in "Syrian genocide". The West is characterized as a "giant Ponzi scheme" where the elite exploit the populace, who have lost control even over their own bodies. Modern Western leaders are unfavorably compared to historical innovators, portrayed as "larpers" presiding over a declining empire.

Continuing our deep dive, we move to "The Secret Campaign To Stop RFK Jr." from LewRockwell.com. This article brings to light a leaked memo from the Biotechnology Industry Organization, or BIO, detailing an organized industry conspiracy to undermine Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and obstruct efforts to improve American health. The author expresses confidence in the memo's authenticity, noting its consistency with BIO's known tactics and the organization's evasive denial. The author's support for RFK Jr. stems from his consistent advocacy for critical issues, his profound conviction born from personal trauma, and his systematic approach to addressing health problems as HHS Secretary. The position of HHS Secretary is highlighted as exceptionally influential due to its broad discretion over federal health laws and policies. The source emphasizes the "improbable" nature of RFK Jr.'s nomination and confirmation, along with what is described as unprecedented leeway granted to him by President Trump, a situation unlike any seen before in U.S. history, even more so than with figures like former FDA head Harvey Wiley. Trump's support for RFK Jr. is attributed to several factors: his long-standing concerns about the excessive vaccine schedule and related child injuries; his skepticism regarding the COVID-19 narrative, opposition to lockdowns and testing, and attempts to promote alternative therapies, which were reportedly sabotaged by the HHS and media; a belief that he lost the 2020 election due to ignoring his "gut hunch" on rational COVID policies; Pfizer's strategic decision to delay vaccine approval until after the 2020 election, which destroyed their leverage with Trump; and the media's aggressive pro-vaccine messaging, which paradoxically fostered deep distrust among Trump's supporters due to existing skepticism of the media and visible vaccine failures. The pharmaceutical industry's "greedy" push for COVID vaccines is characterized as having "killed the goose that laid the Golden Eggs," leading to unprecedented public distrust in vaccines, driven by executives' focus on short-term profits. RFK Jr. capitalized on this growing vaccine skepticism within the Republican party—a movement spurred by "Obama's vaccine overreach"—to achieve significant electoral support as an independent candidate, subsequently aligning with Trump to advance the "Making America Healthy Again" agenda. The author notes that Trump's unique political standing allowed him to enforce this promise. The discussion then shifts to the Public Relations (PR) industry, depicted as a "multibillion" sector that effectively "invalidates" democracy by invisibly manipulating public opinion to align with its sponsors' agendas. PR tactics include saturating all media outlets with consistent messages, using focus groups for emotional framing, deploying "independent" experts, and fabricating viral moments. This PR strategy often merges with political lobbying to kill legislation and incite public hysteria. The author points out that the traditional PR apparatus struggles with social media's decentralized nature, leading to increased demands for "draconian censorship" by government and online platforms. A specific example cited is "Shot's Fired," a Facebook group identified for coordinating harassment against vaccine critics, funded by the Public Good Project, which in turn received funding from BIO. BIO is presented as the largest biotechnology trade organization, with ties to major pharmaceutical companies like Moderna and Pfizer. The source concludes that BIO's partial denial of the leaked memo is entirely consistent with its documented history.

Finally, we explore "You Can’t Grow Your Way Out: The GOP’s Debt Delusion Exposed" by David Stockman from LewRockwell.com. This analysis critically examines the U.S. economic landscape, particularly focusing on the Republican Party's approach to national debt. It highlights a significant decline in real GDP growth rates, with the 20-year moving average plummeting from 3.5% in 1988 to a mere 2.0% by 2024, despite an unprecedented influx of fiscal and monetary stimulus. While Reaganomics introduced some positive changes like deregulation and tax cuts, it did not fundamentally alter long-term economic growth trends. The author identifies two "negative legacies" from Ronald Reagan's presidency as primary contributors to this economic decline: first, the "horrid money-printing, Keynesianized version of central banking monetary central planning" initiated by Alan Greenspan, and second, Dick Cheney's assertion that federal deficits "don't matter much," which effectively dismantled the Republican Party's commitment to balanced budgets. The growth of real median family income has also sharply decelerated: from 1.93% annually between 1960 and 1980, it dropped to 0.97% from 1980 to 2000, and further to 0.76% from 2000 to 2024. In 2024, federal spending reached 23.2% of GDP, while tax collection stood at a low 17.0%, resulting in a substantial 6.2% fiscal gap, mirroring levels last seen in peacetime during 1983. Closing this gap is now considerably more challenging because the Federal Reserve has exhausted its monetary tools, burdened by an inflationary $7 trillion balance sheet. The Fed is deemed incapable of offsetting excess debt emissions through "madcap QE" due to persistent inflation exceeding 3% annually. U.S. Treasury debt emissions are projected to hit $3 trillion per year. Consequently, federal debt service costs on an almost $40 trillion public debt are set to increase by $700 billion annually with even a modest rise in bond yields. The author criticizes the Republican Party for having "ruled out any cuts" to major budget components like Social Security, Medicare, Veterans' benefits, Defense spending, and interest payments—which together constitute over three-fourths of the budget—leaving their "spending cut cupboard" bare. The "Trumpified GOP" is accused of "wasting meager savings" by further inflating the already massive $1.0 trillion Pentagon budget. The majority of this Pentagon budget, approximately $700 billion, is allocated to the "service of Empire," funding "Forever Wars" and global forces that "do absolutely nothing for the true Homeland Security of America". The GOP is criticized for abandoning its "balanced budget axiom" in favor of the "siren song of growing your way out of debt". Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's "Bessent-O-Nomics" is dismissed as "Wall Street bullshit," for rationalizing annual deficits of 3% of GDP as acceptable if economic growth matches, despite the current public debt-to-GDP ratio being 120% compared to 30% in 1981. The author concludes that the Congressional Budget Office's baseline already accounts for 2% real growth and 4% nominal GDP gains, indicating that there is no further economic growth potential to offset the mounting debt.

Please note, we were provided with nine unique sources, not twelve. We have discussed each of the nine unique sources in detail.

thank you for listening to another session of the lenny and Maria sanchez deep dive podcast show produced and archived at the website daily briefs dot info.

Here are the key takeaway points from the provided sources, presented in a JotForm manner:

I. American Dream Is Impossible Until Root Causes of Treason Are Eliminated - Andrew Wallace

• The failure of elected officials and bureaucrats to obey the Constitution is the fundamental reason for the inability to prosper and the denial of freedoms and the American Dream. This failure has led to the squandering of the people’s wealth on unconstitutional wars for profit, foreign aid, and financing various corrupt entities and activities, including financing invaders.

• The author asserts that the U.S. government is controlled by the Jewish Lobby and the Parasitic Super-Rich Ruling Class (PSRRC). This control is based on alleged fear by government officials of the Jewish Lobby, despite Jews being only 2% of the population, and the wealthy families directing their greedy minions in corporations and government.

• Officials and bureaucrats are accused of causing the slaughter of military members and millions of civilians in unconstitutional wars for profit. These wars have devastated entire countries without a single Declaration of War, even though these officials knew the United States could not be invaded by a foreign power.

• The belief is that the United States can only be defeated from within, by a "Democratic/Communist army of Illegal invaders". Because of this internal threat, the author suggests that the military should be returned home from the 150 countries where they are currently stationed.

• Defending Europe or Israel is deemed unnecessary and not America's business. These regions are believed to be unable to reciprocate defense efforts, indicating a call for a non-interventionist foreign policy.

• Many elected officials are observed to hate Trump, America, and the American people. This alleged animosity is further evidenced by claims that many Republicans who profess "America First" are lying, as Trump's actions reduce their potential for receiving bribes by cutting income for the PSRRC.

• The author states that the root cause of all problems is the "criminal and traitorous refusal" of officials to obey the Constitution. Their violation of a sacred oath to protect and defend the highest authority in the land lawfully disqualifies them from office.

• Sure and certain punishment for violating the Constitution and government corruption would allow people to enjoy the American Dream again. Public hanging of "Traitors" and prison sentences for government and corporate criminals are proposed as motivators for honest government.

• The author suggests that payments to states from the federal government must end, with a large portion of federal income taxes returned to the states. Alternatively, the Federal Establishment could be funded with tariffs and excise taxes while terminating the income tax.

• Public Service Law Firms are criticized for focusing on results rather than the root causes of criminality, which the author believes perpetuates their employment without providing justice or redress for the public. The author, and others, estimate that a majority of the Federal Establishment functions as a "Criminal Enterprise".

II. Benjamin Netanyahu is Coming to Town Again - Philip Giraldi

• Benjamin Netanyahu's frequent visits to Washington are driven by his desire for something, as he "never likes to hear anyone tell him 'No!'". The American Jewish community and the state of Israel are noted to be "mustering their substantial resources to give the Prime Minister anything he wants".

• The Israel Lobby is described as controlling "many aspects of what is referred to colloquially as the United States Government". Their persuasive power often relies on "repeated invocations of a semi-mythical event called the 'holocaust,'" which is portrayed as a perpetual burden on humanity.

• The source suggests that Jews have successfully caricatured themselves as perpetual victims of irrational hatred, thereby "entitled to extraordinary measures to protect themselves". This perception grants them a "license to kill" in response to ensure "never again".

• Israel's "strategic perspective" reportedly "requires everywhere and always an enemy," who is then tarnished by a blood libel. This approach ignores the truth, where Arabs are allegedly being exterminated daily "en masse" with Western government grants, rather than Israelis being victims.

• There is speculation that Netanyahu's visit aims to convince President Trump to assist Israel in achieving "hegemony 'from the rivers to the sea'," which implies regime change in Iran. This objective is believed to be unattainable for Israel alone, especially without resorting to nuclear options that could devastate Tel Aviv.

• The author theorizes that if Trump does not agree to an attack on Iran, Netanyahu might resort to "false flag operations plausibly blamed on Iran that will kill a lot of Americans" to convince the US of Iran's danger. Israel has allegedly demonstrated a willingness to kill Americans when its interests are at stake, citing the 1967 USS Liberty incident and recent US citizen deaths in Gaza.

• Israel might stage attacks on US bases in the Persian Gulf, leaving false evidence to blame Iran or its proxies. This tactic could be used to provoke a US response, claiming revenge for US bombings of Iranian nuclear facilities.

• A darker option suggested is that Israel might use one of its own nuclear weapons on an American base to support a false claim of an Iranian nuclear program and incite overwhelming US retaliation against Iran. This is considered possible given that both Netanyahu and Trump have suggested evacuating Tehran's population.

• The source views Trump as potentially being manipulated by Netanyahu, with the hope that Trump might listen to a "better angel" and rebuff Bibi. Other commenters describe Trump as a "slavish whore of Israhell" and a "Rothschild agent" working for foreign interests.

• The author, Philip M. Giraldi, is identified as the Executive Director of the Council for the National Interest, which advocates for a more interests-based U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East.

III. Central banker tells his nephew: We control the press and the politicians - Rhoda Wilson

• Central bankers exert significant control over public information and political actions. Sir Harry Pilkington, a former Bank of England director, advised his nephew, Justin Walker, "never believe anything you read in the press because we control it" and "never, ever believe a politician when they say they can do something because they can’t unless we say they can".

• Banks create money "out of thin air", a process that, if attempted by individuals, would result in arrest for fraud. The Bank of England itself admitted in a 2014 Quarterly Bulletin that "Whenever a bank makes a loan, it simultaneously creates a matching deposit in the borrower’s bank account, thereby creating new money".

• The private central banking world is described as a "law unto itself" and an "almighty scam". This system controls 60 central banks, including the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England, through the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), overseeing 95% of the world's money.

• The City of London is presented as a powerful financial hub that controls the world's money and plunges nations into debt. Its influence is maintained through figures like the Remembrancer, who represents the City's interests in Parliament and pressures MPs.

• Sovereign national credit, exemplified by the Bradbury Pound, is proposed as a viable alternative to the current monetary system. This system involves a nation creating and issuing its own "debt-free and interest-free money" based on its wealth, rather than borrowing from the private financial sector.

• The 2008 financial crisis is asserted to have been orchestrated as a "bailout of the banks," with a future "bail-in" planned where banks would take a percentage of people's money to pay off their debts. The money in bank accounts is legally considered the bank's money, making public bail-ins possible.

• The derivatives bubble, valued at a quadrillion dollars, is a "Sword of Damocles hanging over the entire world’s economy". A lawful government could mitigate this by electronically issuing debt-free money to underpin the economy and ensure stability.

• It is suggested that elite politicians act as "useful idiots" for central bankers. This sentiment is supported by former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss's experience, where she blamed a "powerful economic establishment" and the Bank of England for her downfall after proposing a budget that was not what they wanted.

• Central bank-controlled digital currencies and even cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are cautioned against, with insiders reportedly revealing their origin within the central banking system. The "only true way" for prosperity is for a sovereign nation, accountable to the electorate, to control its own debt-free money.

• The British Constitution Group (BCG) and UK Column have been involved in exposing paedophile rings that extend "right up to Parliament," indicating a darker aspect of control by central banking and powerful individuals.

IV. High-Level Endurance Training Increases Atrial Fibrillation Risk And Decreases Your Lifespan - Joachim Bartoll

• High-level endurance training significantly increases the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), a heart rhythm anomaly. A study on former Olympic, world, or national-level Australian rowers aged 45-80 years found that 1 in 5 had AF, being nearly seven times more likely to be diagnosed with it compared to a control group.

• The high training volume among elite endurance athletes stresses the heart, leading to enlargement of the cardiac chambers. This is not exclusive to rowers but applies to any endurance training that repeatedly stresses the heart for long periods.

• Performance-enhancing drugs are widely used by elite athletes and contribute to heart enlargement under extreme training conditions. These drugs stimulate the heart to grow thicker, exacerbating the effects of intensive exercise.

• AF risk persists years after retirement for elite athletes, indicating long-lasting or potentially irreversible changes in cardiac function. Former rowers showed larger left ventricles, lower heart rates, and longer PQ and QT intervals compared to control individuals.

• Atrial fibrillation (AF) is characterized by irregular and rapid heartbeats, increasing the risk of blood clots and stroke. If left unchecked, it can lead to ventricular fibrillation, which can result in cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death.

• Diet is identified as a major factor in early deaths among elite bodybuilders, alongside drug use, suggesting its broader impact on cardiovascular health in athletes. The author also points out the negative impact of diets high in carbohydrates, seed/vegetable oils, and plant-based foods on cardiovascular health.

• The author, Joachim Bartoll, states that regular exercise, beyond manual labor, walking, or some strength training, is "not healthy". He contends that elite-level training is "completely idiotic in terms of health and longevity," and that most people do "way too much" exercise, accumulating damage.

• The author healed his own cancer and failing organs in 2018, as well as lifelong asthma and allergies, by adopting an animal-based nutritionist approach and studying biology, microbiology, biochemistry, terrain theory, and German New Medicine. He has not been sick a single day since.

V. Stand By For American Implosion - Kevin Barrett

• The United States is showing "multitude of signs" of implosion, including the imposition of martial law in Los Angeles in June 2025 in response to immigration protests that escalated into riots. Critics allege that Trump deliberately incited these riots by ordering federal troops to aggressively confront peaceful protesters.

• Widespread distaste for America's "endless wars" is a widening fissure in the American edifice. Trump's decision to join Israel's June 2025 war of aggression against Iran is seen as sealing his political fate and potentially the empire's.

• Trump's unconstitutional attack on Iran faces overwhelming opposition. More than half of his MAGA base strongly opposes endless wars and this particular attack, while the entire Democratic party loathes Trump's disregard for Constitutional restraints.

• The Constitution grants Congress, not the President, the power to declare war, yet Trump bypassed Congress, an act that could lead to impeachment. The war on Iran was already unpopular from day one, unlike any other US war in history which typically benefit from a "rally round the flag" effect.

• Israel has a "notorious" history of "false flag attacks" designed to deceive the American public into supporting wars. Historical examples cited include the 1946 King David Hotel bombing, the 1954 Lavon Affair, and the 1967 USS Liberty attack.

• Well-informed historians believe Israel was responsible for successful false flags, including the murders of the Kennedys, the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks in 2001, and the murder of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri in 2004. There were also alleged conspiracies to sink an American ship in the Persian Gulf and blame Iran in 2007.

• Americans, especially Trump's base, are increasingly "false-flag savvy". Popular conservative commentators like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens have publicized evidence linking Israel to the Kennedy assassinations and the 9/11 false flag, making it harder for Zionists to unite Americans behind a war.

• The author argues that Trump's "frantic efforts to shore up" the cracking foundations of the American edifice through unpopular policies will only worsen divides, leading to "some combination of retrenchment and collapse". Trump is also accused of being a "Zionist traitor" and a "Rothschild agent" working to "Make Israel Great Again" (MIGA).

• The article highlights ethnic and ideological strife around immigration as another widening fissure. ICE raids targeting Hispanic communities, including citizens and legal immigrants, are described as "terrorizing random tourists" and treating people like criminals based on ethnicity.

• Financial issues, including the decline of the US dollar, huge deficits, and the national debt, are contributing to America's implosion. Trump's actions, such as publicly admonishing the Fed chair and proposing massive deficit spending, are seen as unnerving bondholders and potentially leading to hyperinflation.

VI. The Empire Has Accidentally Caused the Rebirth of Real Counterculture in the West - Caitlin Johnstone

• A "real, politically meaningful counterculture" has emerged in the Western world, and rulers are reportedly afraid of it. This marks the first time since the Vietnam War that actual, meaningful rebellion has appeared in Western counterculture.

• A "historical landmark moment" occurred at the 2025 Glastonbury Festival with a crowd chanting "Death, death to the IDF" led by Bob Vylan. This event, along with many other acts supporting Palestine and attendees waving Palestinian flags, signifies that "Supporting Palestine and opposing Israel’s genocidal atrocities is just what’s cool now".

• Western governments' persecution of groups like Bob Vylan and Kneecap for their stance on Palestine is making their position more popular among young people. This persecution, involving police investigations and visa revocations, is seen as inadvertently making support for Palestine more attractive to defiant youths.

• The ruling class has historically "stomped out all politically relevant counterculture" through direct government operations like COINTELPRO and control of major media platforms and studios by plutocrats. They do not care about superficial rebellion (e.g., appearance, sexual identity, empty words) but are concerned when public consent for military and geopolitical agendas is undermined.

• The current generation of youth is told they will be "poorer and sicker than their parents and grandparents" and may "never own a home," giving them every reason to express defiance and "nothing to lose by doing so". They can also witness the "unimaginably horrific mass atrocity" in Gaza unfolding on their phone screens daily.

VII. The History of the Decline and Fall of the Anglo-American Empire - Declan Hayes

• The decay of the Anglo-American system parallels the decay of the Roman culture, marked by concerns with displaying affluence rather than building wealth, obsession with sex and perversions, freakish art, widening disparity between rich and poor, and increased demand to live off the state.

• Today's wealth accumulation is characterized by "financial sleights of hand" rather than adding material value. The emphasis has shifted to "milking captive audiences through needless pharmaceuticals, narcissistic purchases and nihilistic wars," which are risk-free scams for the elite as taxpayers cover the profligacy.

• Politicians are described as "long ago been bought off," offering no real protection for ordinary citizens against financial draining. This corruption extends to Wall Street's hedge funds owning military assets like the RAF's Top Guns, profiting from underperforming military junk.

• Ordinary citizens are made "largely irrelevant to the economy" by technology, serving primarily as "unthinking consumers". The author suggests that for the elite, if the public cannot add value, then euthanasia and abortion laws (like Britain's abortion-up-to-birth laws providing "raw inputs into cosmetics") become logical conclusions, drawing a parallel to Hitler's death factories.

• The Anglo-American empire is losing its "lustre" despite having a "well-oiled and best performing propaganda industry" and resources from "Nazi families". This decline is attributed to their inability to innovate or regenerate sufficiently.

• The recent Iranian-Israeli conflict demonstrated Iran's formidable missile technology, which the author predicted would perform well. Iran's missile know-how, once for sale, is expected to find main customers in Russia and China, posing a threat to Anglo-American military control and their "rust buckets masquerading as aircraft carriers".

• The author argues that the "historical tides are currently changing course," with Russia and China becoming serious players in regions like the Nile River, where Britain previously divided water resources, and in the Middle East, where Israel has annexed water supplies. This shift may lead to other countries replacing Israel as key choke points.

• The Anglo-Americans are described as suffering from "centuries of privilege" that have "thinned out their economies and their people," who are now a "sordid gaggle of degenerates" baffling Chinese observers.

• The current state of the West is described as a "giant Ponzi scheme" where the elite exploit the rest, even controlling their vital organs. This contrasts with the past, where innovations and inventions by figures like Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison were celebrated, unlike today's focus on "sociopathic" political figures and "slappers".

VIII. The Secret Campaign To Stop RFK Jr. - A Midwestern Doctor

• An orchestrated industry conspiracy to sabotage RFK Jr. and prevent America from becoming healthy was revealed through a leaked memo from the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO). The author's sources, whom they trust, confirmed confidence in the leak's authenticity, and BIO did not explicitly deny it when confronted.

• The author has publicly supported RFK Jr. because he advocates for crucial issues, has deep conviction from traumatic life experiences, and has been systematic and strategic in addressing health problems as HHS Secretary. RFK Jr. is seen as "a blessing" who is taking the "heat" for pursuing these changes.

• The influence of the HHS Secretary over national health is significant, as many federal laws and policies are implemented at their discretion, a power that has historically protected the status quo. RFK Jr.'s appointment and confirmation are considered "unprecedented" and "improbable," with Trump reportedly giving him unusual leeway.

• Trump's long-standing concerns about the excessive vaccine schedule and his doubts about COVID narratives are cited as reasons for RFK Jr.'s unique position. Trump had planned for RFK to lead a federal investigation into the vaccine schedule and tried to promote non-standard COVID therapies, but was sabotaged by HHS, media, and outside parties like Bill Gates.

• Pfizer's decision to delay vaccine approval until after the 2020 election "pulled the rug out on Trump," which is seen as "incredibly shortsighted" despite their desire for a pro-pharmaceutical presidency. This action destroyed any trust or leverage they had to control Trump if he were re-elected.

• The sensationalistic media messaging used to push COVID vaccines was similar to tactics used to discredit Trump, leading to public distrust among his supporters. The pharmaceutical industry's "greedy" and "relentless" push for COVID vaccines "killed the goose that laid the Golden Eggs," creating widespread vaccine distrust not seen since early smallpox vaccines.

• The "Make America Healthy Again" movement emerged from vaccine skepticism within the modern Republican party, which RFK Jr. leveraged to become a successful independent candidate. This allowed him to support Trump in exchange for advancing health initiatives.

• The Public Relations (PR) Industry is an "invisible multibillion industry" that "synthesizes marketing and propaganda to persuade the public of its sponsor’s message," effectively "invalidating" democracy by shaping policy based on paid messages rather than public will. PR tactics include blasting messages on all outlets, using focus groups for manipulative messaging, and fabricating viral moments.

• The PR apparatus struggles with social media, where its centralized tactics are less effective due to the "infinite number of voices" and the ability of independent media to quickly debunk campaigns. This led to efforts to enact "draconian censorship" and directly silence critics during the COVID vaccine campaign.

• A group called "Shot’s Fired," which coordinated harassment against vaccine critics, was funded by the Public Good Project, which in turn was funded by the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO). BIO, a large biotechnology trade organization with pharmaceutical clients like Moderna and J&J, had "extensive interactions with the Biden administration and the social media companies".

IX. You Can’t Grow Your Way Out: The GOP’s Debt Delusion Exposed - David Stockman

• The author argues against the Republican Party's (GOP) "debt delusion" that economic growth alone can solve the national debt problem. Historical data shows that despite various economic policies, including Reaganomics and Keynesian approaches, the long-term real GDP growth rates have remained relatively stagnant or declined.

• A key negative legacy of the Reagan era was the "horrid money-printing, Keynesianized version of central banking monetary central planning inaugurated by Alan Greenspan". This policy, coupled with Dick Cheney's proclamation that "Federal deficits don’t matter much," led to soaring fiscal deficits after the year 2000 and the Fed going "bonkers" with money printing.

• Despite the "greatest combined injection of fiscal and monetary stimulus ever" since 2000, the rise of real median family income "ran out of stream," indicating that growth alone is insufficient to address economic challenges. Real median family income growth significantly declined from 1.93% (1960-1980) to 0.76% (2000-2024).

• As of 2024, Federal spending reached 23.2% of GDP, while tax revenue was down at 17.0% of GDP, resulting in a fiscal gap of 6.2% of GDP. This gap is expected to be "far, far harder" to close than in previous eras due to the Fed's inflationary balance sheet and inability to resume "madcap QE" (quantitative easing).

• The cost of servicing the rapidly increasing national debt (soon to be $40 trillion) is projected to rise significantly, further straining the federal budget. This is particularly problematic given the GOP's self-imposed limitations on spending cuts, ruling out reductions in Social Security, Medicare, Veterans, Defense, and interest payments, which constitute "upwards of three-fourths of the budget".

• The author criticizes the "knuckleheads in the Trumpified GOP" for wasting "meager savings in food stamps and Medicaid" on increases to the "already bloated $1.0 trillion Pentagon budget". Most of this defense spending, "upwards of $700 billion," is for "Empire" and "Forever Wars we don’t need," doing "absolutely nothing for the true Homeland Security of America".

• Trump's Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, is criticized for promoting "Wall Street bullshit" by suggesting that deficits at 3% of GDP are acceptable as long as the economy grows by 3%, thereby preventing the debt-to-GDP ratio from worsening. This approach is seen as rationalizing the status quo rather than addressing the underlying fiscal issues.

This Substack article from "Coffee & Covid 2025" focuses on the alleged positive outcomes of the "OBBBA" bill, presented as a significant legislative achievement by President Trump. The author highlights various "cuts" and "revenue-realignment" strategies within the bill, arguing that it shifts welfare costs to states, taxes wealthy university endowments, caps federally subsidized student loans, and slashes green energy tax breaks. The piece also criticizes mainstream media, particularly The New York Times, for misrepresenting the bill's effects and for belatedly acknowledging the truth about Venezuelan gangs in Colorado, previously dismissed as a "conspiracy theory." Finally, the article touches upon judicial resistance to Supreme Court rulings and calls for the removal of Fed Chair Jerome Powell due to alleged perjury and excessive spending on Federal Reserve renovations. 

Here are 40 key takeaways from the sources, formatted as requested:

1. Key Takeaway 1: ☕️ COMPLICATIONS ☙ Saturday, July 5, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠 by Jeff Childers
   
   

   • The passage of the OBBBA (Big Beautiful Bill) is seen by President Trump as a reason for his pleasure, despite initial media portrayals that presented it differently.

   • "Our first story was a perfect illustration of the inside-out absurdity of modern media, but in spite of it, we are starting to get an idea of why President Trump is so pleased about the OBBBA’s passage".

   • "The New York Times ran an OBBBA article yesterday headlined, “States Brace for Added Burdens of Trump’s Tax and Spending Law”".

2. Key Takeaway 2: The New York Times' headline regarding OBBBA was misleading, as the article described the opposite of a traditional "tax and spend" bill.
   
   

   • "Traditionally, a “tax and spend” bill means the federal government is raising taxes to fund new or expanded programs — pork-barrel projects, entitlements, or some vote-buying boondoggle".

   • "But, putting the lie to the headline, the article described the exact opposite".

3. Key Takeaway 3: The New York Times article itself confirmed that the OBBBA was about massive cuts, not new taxes or spending, despite its headline.
   
   

   • "In other words, the headline is 100% fake news".

   • "The article is actually about states crying about all the cuts, not about raised taxes or any new pork, like the headline claimed".

4. Key Takeaway 4: The OBBBA represents a historic and seismic rollback of the post-New Deal welfare state, potentially the largest since the 1960s.
   
   

   • "Indeed, the cuts are massive, even historic".

   • "These cuts are not just historic. They represent a seismic rollback of the post-New Deal welfare state, arguably the biggest since the 1960s".

5. Key Takeaway 5: Since LBJ’s Great Society, the federal government had steadily expanded its role in health care, welfare, and income support, with the assumption that Washington would always cover the costs.
   
   

   • "Since LBJ’s Great Society, the federal government has steadily expanded its role in health care, welfare, and income support".

   • "Medicaid, SNAP (food stamps), and other federal-state entitlements relentlessly grew under the assumption that Washington always foots the bill, while states got to administer the money".

6. Key Takeaway 6: The OBBBA does not just reform but deconstructs the welfare state, marking the first major paradigm shift since LBJ and strategically shifting the blame for cuts to the states.
   
   

   • "OBBBA doesn’t just reform the welfare state; it deconstructs it".

   • "It’s political genius, because the states must now shoulder the blame for cuts".

7. Key Takeaway 7: Trump's strategy with the OBBBA offloaded the political cost of the cuts from the federal government, leaving state governors responsible for deciding which programs to reduce.
   
   

   • "In other words, Trump offloaded the political cost".

   • "The feds pulled back the money hose, but left the governors holding the empty bucket".

8. Key Takeaway 8: The OBBBA is projected to cut an "awe-inspiring" $1 trillion from state transfer payments over the next 10 years, impacting programs like Medicaid subsidies.
   
   

   • "According to the story, the OBBBA cuts an awe-inspiring $1 trillion from state transfer payments over the next 10 years".

   • "Since the affected programs include Medicaid subsidies, states must decide whether they want to cut coverage, cut provider reimbursement rates, or backfill the shortfall with new taxes raised from their own overtaxed citizens".

9. Key Takeaway 9: Even before the OBBBA's final passage, federal spending cuts were already underway, as reluctantly admitted by The New York Times.
   
   

   • "Even before the bill’s final passage,” the Times said, “state capitals were contending with a slowing economy and federal spending cuts”".

   • "By the Times’ reluctant admission, federal spending cuts were already underway— even before Trump signed OBBBA".

10. Key Takeaway 10: Key progressive figures are not merely objecting to the pain of the OBBBA cuts but are mourning them as a philosophical defeat, indicating the foundational nature of these changes.
    
    

    • "The cuts are so steep, so foundational, that key progressive figures aren’t just objecting to the pain— they’re mourning it as though it were a philosophical defeat".

    • "What’s happening in Washington, D.C., is undermining everything we’ve been working on,” grieved Governor Laura Kelly (D-Kansas)".

11. Key Takeaway 11: The OBBBA shifts the burden of administering modified programs like SNAP work requirements and Obamacare exchanges onto the states, without adding new federal costs.
    
    

    • "Adding insult to injury, the OBBBA smartly shifts the burden of administering the modified programs onto the states, so that the new OBBBA provisions didn’t add any federal costs to the law".

    • "For example, food stamps (SNAP) now have a work requirement, but the states must enforce the new federal requirement, or lose subsidies".

12. Key Takeaway 12: States received a record amount of money during Covid, with some, like Florida and Illinois, being fiscally prudent and accumulating emergency reserves, while others, like California, spent excessively.
    
    

    • "States got a record amount of money during covid".

    • "Some states, like Florida and Illinois, were fiscally prudent and are now sitting on giant piles of emergency reserves".

13. Key Takeaway 13: California state officials have warned that the OBBBA would "most likely" cause millions of people to lose free health insurance and hundreds of thousands to lose free food stamp benefits in their state.
    
    

    • "In California, state officials cried that OBBBA would “most likely” cause 3.4 million people to lose their (free) health insurance and at least 735,000 people to lose (free) food stamp benefits".

14. Key Takeaway 14: The OBBBA aims to shore up federal revenues by specifically targeting wealthy, "bloated," and "ideologically sold-out" elite universities.
    
    

    • "Once again, we find the OBBBA shoring up federal revenues rather than depleting them".

    • "And not by taxing grandma’s groceries, but by targeting the wealthiest, most bloated, most ideologically sold-out, and least accountable institutions in America: elite universities".

15. Key Takeaway 15: The OBBBA includes a deeply encouraging provision to expand the tax on university endowments, treating them more like hedge funds.
    
    

    • "First of all, and most deeply encouraging, “the bill would expand the tax on endowments”".

    • "It tells Harvard and Stanford: fine, if you want to operate like a hedge fund, we’ll tax you like one".

16. Key Takeaway 16: The New York Times' claim that taxing university endowments would reduce student financial aid is considered "preposterous" and "unserious" given the immense size of endowments like Harvard's $50 billion.
    
    

    • "The Times, without offering any specifics, suggested taxing endowments would somehow reduce student financial aid, a preposterous claim that made me choke on my coffee laughing".

    • "Let’s get real: Harvard has a $50 billion endowment".

17. Key Takeaway 17: The primary concern for elite universities regarding endowment taxes is the potential reduction of funding for "endless gravy train" of administrative positions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), rather than student aid.
    
    

    • "Haha, but what it might reduce is the endless gravy train of diversity czars, DEI bureaucrats, and six-figure vice provosts for student safe spaces— the elites’ continuous employment system".

    • "They’re not worried about poor students. They’re worried about losing the taxpayer-subsidized funding model that lets them warehouse surplus woke graduate degrees in meaningless administrative fiefdoms".

18. Key Takeaway 18: Taxing Ivy League endowments does not increase the budget deficit or debt; instead, it helps to reduce them.
    
    

    • "Anyway, for Portland readers: taxing Ivy League endowments does not increase the budget deficit or debt".

    • "It helps".

19. Key Takeaway 19: The OBBBA includes cuts to education by capping the amount of federally subsidized student loans that the government will backstop.
    
    

    • "But there was more cutting in education: to federally subsidized student loans".

    • "The OBBBA now caps the amount the federal government — our tax dollars — can use to backstop unpaid student loans".

20. Key Takeaway 20: The student loan changes within OBBBA are expected to save the government more than $300 billion over a decade, according to conservative estimates from the CBO.
    
    

    • "The Times admitted that, according to CBO’s conservative estimates, “The student loan changes are expected to save the government more than $300 billion over a decade”".

21. Key Takeaway 21: The student loan reforms are framed as a "win-win-win" scenario for taxpayers, students, and lenders, with only the "arrogant, elitist university system" losing out.
    
    

    • "It’s win-win-win! The only group that loses is the same arrogant, elitist university system".

    • "Taxpayers win, because they can stop footing much of the bill for worthless trans-in-media degrees".

22. Key Takeaway 22: Students will benefit from the student loan changes as they will be less likely to borrow excessively for "useless" degrees, and market pressure will return to higher education, forcing institutions to deliver more value.
    
    

    • "Students win, because they won’t get fooled into borrowing six figures for a useless gender theory major".

    • "And they also win because market pressure will finally return to higher Ed, which must now deliver more value and become more efficient in order to compete".

23. Key Takeaway 23: Universities are seen as losing because they had inflated tuition costs by soaking up limitless federal loan money without increasing value or services, a funding model now being curtailed.
    
    

    • "The only group that loses is the same arrogant, elitist universities that inflated tuition by soaking up limitless loan money like a sponge without growing value or services".

    • "Now they’re howling because the gravy firehose is getting kinked".

24. Key Takeaway 24: The OBBBA is described as "remaking American energy" by slashing tax breaks for wind and solar power and electric cars, a move acknowledged by The New York Times.
    
    

    • "The Times admitted the OBBBA will “remake American energy”".

    • "The Times supplied the answer: “by slashing tax breaks for wind and solar power and electric cars”".

25. Key Takeaway 25: Slashing "green tax breaks" means increasing federal tax revenues, reinforcing that OBBBA is a "revenue-realignment" bill aimed at reducing the deficit without raising taxes on productive citizens.
    
    

    • "Portlanders, take note: “slashing green tax breaks” means increasing federal tax revenues— again showing that the OBBBA is not a “spending” bill, but more of a revenue-realignment bill".

    • "It’s another strategic step in reducing the deficit without raising tax rates on productive citizens".

26. Key Takeaway 26: A deeper pattern emerging with OBBBA is its systematic cutting of funding pipelines to key progressive power centers, including state welfare transfers, universities, and climate lobbies.
    
    

    • "There’s a deeper pattern emerging: the OBBBA systematically cuts funding pipelines to key progressive power centers, like state welfare transfers, universities, climate lobbies, and left-leaning nonprofits masquerading as energy startups".

27. Key Takeaway 27: These progressive sectors are characterized as "financial laundromats" that funnel taxpayer money into ideological projects and back into Democrat coffers through various means.
    
    

    • "These sectors weren’t just bloated— they were financial laundromats, funneling taxpayer money into ideological projects and washing part of it right back into Democrat coffers via consulting fees, campaign donations, and cushy board seats".

28. Key Takeaway 28: The process of the OBBBA working through Congress was a "rope-a-dope" strategy, where public conflict and criticism from House Freedom Caucus members and GOP "budget hawks" were theatrical misdirection.
    
    

    • "The Times is starting to realize there was a rope-a-dope, and it was the dope".

    • "House Freedom Caucus members and GOP “budget hawks” put on a master class in misdirection".

29. Key Takeaway 29: The tumult and public conflict surrounding the bill's passage were "theater," "fake conflict," and "real strategy," described as "classic Trump 3-D chess".
    
    

    • "This is why I held off commenting on all the tumult and public conflict as the bill worked through the process— because most of it was theater. Fake conflict. Fake resistance. Real strategy".

    • "This was classic Trump 3-D chess".

30. Key Takeaway 30: While Democrats and their media allies were focused on Republican defections, the trap of the biggest rollback of progressive spending in decades was already closing, leaving them surprised by its passage.
    
    

    • "While Democrats and their media allies were busy counting Republican defections and popping popcorn, the trap was already slamming shut".

    • "And now they’re stuck explaining how the biggest rollback of progressive spending in decades passed while they were still smirking on MSNBC".

31. Key Takeaway 31: Cuts to Planned Parenthood are cited as another strike against progressive fundraising, indicating that the progressive project is badly wounded.
    
    

    • "And remember the Planned Parenthood cuts— another strike at progressive fundraising".

    • "The progressive project might not be dead, but it is badly wounded".

32. Key Takeaway 32: The Supreme Court recently eliminated the practice of nationwide injunctions, which was considered a "made-up judicial power" that allowed a single district judge to shut down national policy.
    
    

    • "Last Friday, SCOTUS finally killed off the bizarre and legally suspect practice of nationwide injunctions— a made-up judicial power that let a single district judge in Penciltucky shut down national policy".

    • "The Court put a stop to that nonsense".

33. Key Takeaway 33: Despite the Supreme Court's ruling, judges are already finding "workarounds" to impose sweeping restrictions on government actions, such as approving class-action lawsuits or relying on the Administrative Procedures Act.
    
    

    • "Judges are finding workarounds to Trump’s big Supreme Court win”".

    • "Specifically, at least one judge in one of the affected cases promptly countered SCOTUS by immediately approving a class-action (poof! national scope restored)".

34. Key Takeaway 34: The legal system is currently seeing the DOJ and suing plaintiffs "duking it out" with competing motions to define the scope and extent of the new Supreme Court ruling on injunctions.
    
    

    • "In many other cases, the DOJ and the suing plaintiffs are duking it out with competing motions based on the new Supreme Court guidance, each trying to define how far the new ruling actually goes".

    • "As aggravating as it is, it will have to play out".

35. Key Takeaway 35: Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is facing increasing pressure from Trump, who has publicly called for his immediate resignation, entering "uncharted territory" for a Fed Chair.
    
    

    • "Trump is turning up the heat on Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and he’s starting to cook".

    • "The Hill ran the story this week, headlined, “Trump says Powell should ‘resign immediately’”".

36. Key Takeaway 36: The controversy surrounding Jerome Powell involves an "eye-watering" $2.5 billion renovation of the Fed’s D.C. headquarters, a cost compared unfavorably to building the Pentagon or the Burj Khalifa.
    
    

    • "The fracas involves “renovations” to the Fed’s D.C. headquarters".

    • "The tab just for renovations is an eye-watering $2.5 billion dollars".

37. Key Takeaway 37: Lawmakers probed Powell about opulent amenities planned for the Fed renovations, including private marble elevators, multiple "wellness centers," and a rooftop garden, which Powell flatly denied were in the final plans.
    
    

    • "Lawmakers probed the Fed Chair about the plans, which included “amenities” such as private marble elevators leading directly to Fed officials’ offices, multiple “wellness centers” (including a “yoga room” and “meditation spaces”), imported rare marble, and a rooftop garden".

    • "Powell flatly denied those amenities were in the final plans".

38. Key Takeaway 38: Bill Pulte, Trump’s Federal Housing Finance Agency Director, publicly accused Powell of lying to Congress about the renovation amenities and demanded a formal congressional investigation.
    
    

    • "Bill Pulte, Trump’s Federal Housing Finance Agency Director, produced the evidence and publicly accused Powell of lying to Congress".

    • "Pulte demanded a formal congressional investigation".

39. Key Takeaway 39: The New York Times has finally run a story acknowledging the "complicated" truth about Venezuelan gangs in Colorado apartment buildings, an issue previously dismissed by Democrats as fearmongering.
    
    

    • "This week, the New York Times ran a long-form story headlined, “Democrats Denied This City Had a Gang Problem. The Truth Is Complicated”".

    • "The presence of young men with guns in the apartment complex, called the Edge at Lowry,” the Times admitted, “was not a rarity".

40. Key Takeaway 40: The Times' admission about Venezuelan gangs is significant because President Trump had specifically identified Tren de Aragua (TDA) as a rationale for invoking the Alien Enemies Act to deport foreign nationals linked to cartels, an idea that Democrats had previously mocked.
    
    

    • "The story is significant because President Trump specifically identified TDA as a rationale for invoking the Alien Enemies Act, a law allowing him to summarily deport foreign nationals linked to an international cartel".

    • "Democrats laughed like meth-addled donkeys at the idea that gangs were “invading” American towns".

The provided text, titled "The Jewish Cause of World Unrest" by Larry Romanoff, presents a highly conspiratorial and antisemitic view of global events, asserting that a cabal of "International Khazar Jews," particularly bankers like Rothschild and Sassoon, are the true orchestrators of wars, economic exploitation, and geopolitical unrest. The author claims these groups manipulate governments, control media narratives, and profit immensely from conflicts by financing both sides and owning weapon manufacturers. Examples cited include the Russian Revolution, the Opium Wars in China, the Boer Wars, and both World Wars, all allegedly instigated by Jewish interests to further their agenda of global domination and the establishment of a "New World Order," culminating in the building of a "Third Temple" in Jerusalem. The text explicitly states that Jews are the "greatest mass murderers in history" and links them to atrocities like the deaths in the Russian Gulags and the atomic bombings of Japan. 

Here are 40 key takeaways from the provided source, presented in a jotform manner, with two supporting sentences for each point, and appropriate citations:

1. EN — LARRY ROMANOFF: The Jewish Cause of World Unrest By Larry Romanoff
   
   

   • Everything you will read in this essay is true.

   • The names have not been changed to protect the guilty.

2. The essay's timing is linked to recent NATO developments regarding military expenditure and the identification of China as a military threat.
   
   

   • The timing of this essay was prompted by an article in RT which noted three things.

   • These include (a) the NATO countries agreeing to an expenditure of 5% of GDP for military, (b) the listing of Japan, South Korea, Australia and NZ as the so-called “Indo-Pacific partners” of NATO, and (c) the identification of China as a “military threat” to NATO.

3. The author asserts that powerful interests are determined to instigate a Third World War, with current rhetoric and preparations evident globally.
   
   

   • For anyone who has eyes to see and ears to hear, there are powerful interests in the world who are determined to have a Third World War.

   • The rhetoric and the preparations are everywhere to be seen.

4. Specific nations like Russia, North Korea, China, and Iran are identified as primary targets that "must be destroyed" for a "New World Order" and the building of "Satan's Third Temple."
   
   

   • The reason is that these four countries (primarily, but also a few others) must be destroyed before Satan’s Third Temple can be built in Jerusalem and a New World Order can take effect.

   • That is the agenda, and your belief in it is not material to its execution or success.

5. The Western mass media is accused of providing misinformation and ignoring core issues to prepare citizens for World War III.
   
   

   • History is repeating itself yet again, and the Western mass media are again ignoring the core issues and giving their publics only misinformation infused with fantasy.

   • All of the rhetoric, the media war-mongering, the incessant “threat” propaganda, are for this purpose – to prepare the citizens of the West for acceptance of the “necessity” and “inevitability” of World War III.

6. "The Cause of World Unrest" is presented as a 1920 book detailing "The Jewish Question," particularly regarding Jewish Bolsheviks in the 1917 Russian Revolution.
   
   

   • The Cause of World Unrest is a book published in 1920, dealing with “The Jewish Question”, particularly in relation to the Gulags and mass murders by the Jewish Bolsheviks in Russia during the Revolution of 1917.

   • The book was based upon a series of 18 articles that appeared in The Morning Post in July 1920.

7. Jewish organizations like B’nai B’rith and the ADL allegedly intimidated publishers to suppress books like "The Cause of World Unrest" and "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion."
   
   

   • When Putnam published the book in 1920, B’nai B’rith, the ADL, and other Jewish organisations conducted a savage campaign of intimidation which resulted in Putnam finally recalling any remaining copies.

   • Putnam were well aware of many other independent publishers who had been forced into financial difficulties and bankruptcy (by the Jews) for daring to print some of the truths about the Jews.

8. The author asserts the existence of a "Jewish Peril" and a Jewish conspiracy to destroy established rule and bring about a "Jewish brotherhood."
   
   

   • That there is a Jewish Peril I have no sort of doubt.

   • It is easy to prove that a certain section of the Jews in the world are engaged in a mighty attempt to destroy the established rule in many countries and to bring this world into a [Jewish] “brotherhood”.

9. The author describes this alleged Jewish agenda as a "conspiracy against civilization" that has been ongoing for decades.
   
   

   • “This is a conspiracy against civilization – for that is really what it amounts to.”

   • The above words were written in 1920, could have been written again in 1939, could have been written again at various points during the following decades, and can certainly be written again today.

10. Gary Allen's 1971 book "None Dare Call it Conspiracy" is mentioned as covering a similar agenda, suggesting a hidden picture behind world events.
    
    

    • There was another book, written by Gary Allen and published in 1971, titled “None Dare Call it Conspiracy“.

    • If we study the landscape, we realize that the whole picture was painted in such a way as to conceal the real picture within.

11. The author claims there is overwhelming evidence that Jews are the "greatest mass murderers in history."
    
    

    • This may shock you to your core, but there is overwhelming evidence that the Jews as a people are the greatest mass murderers in history.

    • As one example, the Russian Revolution was no such thing; it was a Jewish Revolution against Russia, conducted almost entirely to a man by Jews.

12. The Russian Revolution is characterized as a "Jewish Revolution" responsible for the slaughter of tens of millions of Russians, including through starvation and Gulags.
    
    

    • In their Revolution, the Jews (Jewish Bolsheviks) slaughtered more than 1/3 of the entire population of Russia, around 65 or 70 million people.

    • They killed by starvation (a Jewish favorite), at least an additional 8 million to 10 million in Ukraine.

13. Specific Jewish figures like Genrikh Yagoda and Lazar Kaganovich are identified as mass murderers responsible for millions of deaths in the Soviet Union.
    
    

    • Lazar Kaganovich openly boasted of personal responsibility for killing at least twenty million people.

    • An Israeli student finishes high school without ever hearing the name “Genrikh Yagoda,” the greatest Jewish murderer of the 20th Century, the GPU’s deputy commander and the founder and commander of the NKVD.

14. Rothschild is accused of causing at least 100 million deaths in India through forced opium cultivation, starvation, and slaughter, using a large private army.
    
    

    • It was a Jew, Rothschild, who killed at least 100 million in India, (some estimates are as high as 200 million) by starvation and slaughter (at the time, Rothschild had the largest standing army in the world – around one million men).

    • Rothschild forced Indian farmers to forego edible crops and grow opium for Sassoon to sell in China.

15. The author claims Jews prefer controlling a nation's government and military for mass murder, offering deniability and cost-effectiveness.
    
    

    • Russia and India can be considered anomalies, unusual because the Jews prefer an easier route to mass murder: they take control of a nation’s government and have that country’s military do the killing for them.

    • It is much less expensive this way, and it offers some deniability in that history will inevitably blame someone other than the Jews for the atrocities committed.

16. Madeleine Albright is cited as a "celebrated Jewish mass murderer" for sanctions on Iraq that allegedly caused the deaths of 500,000 infants.
    
    

    • For a more recent example of celebrated Jewish mass murderers, Madeleine Albright, the former US Secretary of State, imposed particularly heinous “sanctions” on Iraq that were directly responsible for the deaths of at least 500,000 infants, as well as countless of the elderly and infirm.

    • And in a famous interview on 60 Minutes, Albright said to Leslie Stahl, “Yes, it was worth it.”

17. Jews in Israel are accused of killing "perhaps more than 500,000 Palestinians."
    
    

    • It is entirely Jews in Israel today who have killed perhaps more than 500,000 Palestinians.

    • I could continue for pages, but you have the idea.

18. The concept of "The Bankers’ Private Army" is introduced, claiming that most modern Western wars are incited and financed by Jewish bankers from The City of London.
    
    

    • This forms the crux of “the picture within a picture”, the part that is so well-hidden that almost no one can find it.

    • Almost all wars launched by the West in the earth’s modern history, including the US Civil War and both World Wars, have been bankers’ wars, incited, instigated and financed by the financial powers of Europe, the Jewish bankers in The City of London.

19. International Khazar Jews, including Rothschild and Sassoon, allegedly had "full control" of the British government before 1850.
    
    

    • The International Khazar Jews, primarily Rothschild and Sassoon, but also Kadoorie, Montefiore, and many other names, had full control of the British government before 1850.

    • The proof of this is everywhere to be seen, in India, China, and many other places.

20. Queen Victoria is claimed to have acted on behalf of Rothschild and Sassoon, including granting HSBC a charter for drug profits and giving Hong Kong to David Sassoon.
    
    

    • Queen Victoria herself gave such a charter to David Sassoon to create the HSBC bank as a way to launder his drug profits.

    • It was also Queen Victoria who took Hong Kong from China to give to David Sassoon because he needed a distribution base for his opium.

21. The British military allegedly destroyed the Summer Palace and the Yongle Dadian in China at the insistence of Jewish bankers.
    
    

    • It was on the insistence of Rothschild and Sassoon that the British military destroyed the Summer Palace (the Yuanmingyuan), with its millions of priceless artifacts from 5,000 years of Chinese history.

    • It was also at the urging and request of the same Jews that the British military destroyed the library and the Yongle Dadian at the Hanlin Academy.

22. The "Taiping Rebellion" is re-framed as a "Jewish rebellion" instigated and financed by Jews to protect their opium trade, leading to 70-90 million deaths.
    
    

    • It was these same Jews – Rothschild, Sassoon, Kadoorie and others, who launched the war against the Taipings in China who were strangling their opium trade – the so-called “Taiping Rebellion”.

    • That Jewish-instigated and Jewish-financed war against the Taipings was the bloodiest war in the history of the world, with between 70 and 90 million dead, and those Jews initiated it solely to protect their opium profits.

23. In "Jewish wars," the "Banker’s Army" (e.g., British military) incurs costs and casualties, while Jewish bankers reap all the profits, often owning weapons manufacturers and financing both sides.
    
    

    • As with all Jewish wars from this point on, the Banker’s Army paid all the costs and took all the battlefield casualties, while the Jewish bankers reaped all the profits.

    • This gives them not only the advantage of others taking the blame for wars they want and initiate, but they profit immensely from their ownership of most weapons manufacturing companies and from financing both sides of every war.

24. Jews, with total control of the British government, allegedly forced England into World War I with Germany, a war neither nation wanted.
    
    

    • We can fast forward to World War I where the same Jews with their same total control of the British government, forced England into a war with Germany – a war which neither Germany nor England wanted.

    • The Jews, with their control of the popular media even back then, launched an enormous “hate campaign” to turn the British public against Germany.

25. Jews like Lippman and Bernays are credited with successfully bringing the US into World War I against Germany through propaganda.
    
    

    • And it was Jews, primarily Lippman and Bernays, who accomplished the same in the US, in a successful effort to bring the US into the war against Germany.

    • I covered this in much detail in an earlier essay, “Bernays and Propaganda — The Marketing of War“.

26. The atomic bomb project (Manhattan Project) is described as "entirely a Jewish project," financed and pushed onto the US government by International Khazar Jews.
    
    

    • First, the atomic bomb was entirely a Jewish project, using the US military and US taxpayer funds for completion.

    • There is ample evidence that the International Khazar Jews from The City of London pushed this project onto the US government.

27. Bernard Baruch, described as "The most powerful man in America," is claimed to have held "entire responsibility" for the Manhattan Project.
    
    

    • The entire responsibility for the Project was in the hands of Bernard Baruch, a Jew, and widely described as “The most powerful man in America”.

    • It was Baruch who began the project, who hired the research teams of physicists and scientists, headed by Szilard, and also Leslie Groves to build the necessary infrastructure.

28. The Manhattan Project team's appearance is noted as resembling a "Jewish high school reunion," and the atomic bomb was known as "The Jewish Hell-Bomb."
    
    

    • Many observers have noted that photographs of the Manhattan Project Team look like yeshiva photos, yearbook photographs of a Jewish high school reunion.

    • ...and in fact the atomic bomb was widely known for decades in US scientific circles as “The Jewish Hell-Bomb”.

29. Bernard Baruch is alleged to have made the decision to drop the atomic bomb and selected Japan and specific cities as targets, including Kyoto for its cultural significance.
    
    

    • It was Bernard Baruch who actually made the decision to drop the atomic bomb, and it was Baruch who selected the target – Japan, and also the cities.

    • Baruch pushed very hard for Kyoto as the first target, because it was the “cultural heart of Japan” and, like the Jews’ chosen destruction of Dresden in Germany and of the Yuanmingyuan and the Yongle Dadian in China, Kyoto was selected by Baruch for destruction because it would “open a wound that would never heal”.

30. The author claims the atomic bombs were dropped on Japan not to end the war or save lives, but after the war was already effectively over and Japan had offered to surrender.
    
    

    • The US (and the Jewish media) perpetuate the myth that the atomic bomb was dropped on Japan to end the war and save lives, but the war was already over.

    • In fact, Japan had already offered to surrender before the atomic bombs were dropped.

31. The atomic bombs were dropped to test the new weapon and punish Japan for expelling Jews prior to the war, reinforcing the idea that any nation expelling Jews becomes a perpetual target.
    
    

    • A minor one was to intimidate Russia, but the two major reasons were (a) the Jews wanted very badly to test this new weapon they had created, and (b) they wanted to punish Japan for having expelled the Jews from Nagasaki and then from all of Japan prior to the outbreak of war.

    • Any nation that expels the Jews will be a perpetual target for annihilation.

32. William L. Laurence (Lipman Siew), a Jewish "public relations officer" for Bernard Baruch, is identified as the sole civilian permitted to observe and even trigger the first atomic bomb drop.
    
    

    • Lipman Siew was a Lithuanian Jew who changed his name to William L. Laurence, and who worked for Bernard Baruch as his “public relations officer”.

    • Laurance was the person who actually pushed the button to drop the first atomic bomb.

33. The Jews allegedly "sacrificed" England and its empire during the World Wars, making it bankrupt and deeply in debt, before transferring their control to the US.
    
    

    • England lost 40% of her external assets (her “Empire”) during the First World War, and the balance during the Second War.

    • In fact, the Khazar Jews simply sacrificed England as a disposable military asset, disposable because those same Jews already totally controlled the US and simply transferred their flag.

34. Since World War II, the US has allegedly functioned as "the Bankers’ Private Army," used by Jews in multiple wars at America's expense and without benefit to Americans.
    
    

    • Since then, it is the Americans who have functioned as “the Bankers’ Private Army”.

    • The Jews have used the US in multiple wars since 1945, always at the expense of the US and never with any benefit to America or the Americans.

35. The US invasion of Iraq is claimed to have had two primary goals: removing an obstacle to Israel's control of the Middle East and allowing Jewish bankers to loot the country.
    
    

    • Instead, the invasion of Iraq had two primary goals: (a) to remove a major obstacle to Israel’s control of the Middle East, and (b) to permit the Jewish bankers from The City of London to loot the country.

    • It doesn’t seem widely-known but those bankers “privatised” virtually all of Iraq, including a new Jewish-owned central bank and, most importantly, allocated to themselves 65% of Iraq’s oil – free of charge – leaving only 35% for Iraq.

36. The US invasions of Iraq, Libya, and Syria are described as "spectacular successes" for the Jewish Bankers in The City of London, resulting in trillions of dollars in profits and control over resources, with no benefit to the US.
    
    

    • In reality, the US invasion of Iraq was a spectacular success.

    • Neither Libya nor Syria were failures. They were successful in the same way and for the same reasons as was Iraq: the Jewish Bankers in The City of London profited in the trillions of dollars, essentially given licenses to loot those countries in perpetuity.

37. The US military is alleged to have been used to take total control of oil-producing areas in Libya and Syria, giving all the oil to Jewish Bankers.
    
    

    • The Jewish Bankers used their American Private Army to eventually destroy one of the world’s most successful and beneficial countries.

    • The Jews used the US military to take total control of the oil-producing areas, giving all the oil to the Jewish Bankers.

38. Benjamin Netanyahu is quoted as saying, "Once we suck everything we want from the US, it can dry up and blow away," implying World War III is the "last thing" to be extracted.
    
    

    • Do you recall Benjamin Netanyahu saying,“Once we suck everything we want from the US, it can dry up and blow away”?

    • This third World War is that “last thing” that the Jews will “suck” from the US, and it well might “dry up and blow away” after that.

39. The Jewish Bankers are portrayed as expanding NATO into a worldwide military under their control, intending to use it for World War III and abandoning the US as a "disposable military asset."
    
    

    • The Jews are very ready to sacrifice the US just as they sacrificed England and the British Empire with the first two World Wars.

    • The Jewish Bankers are very definitely expanding NATO into a world-wide military under their control.

40. Jews are alleged to control important positions in the US State Department and Department of Defense, and US domestic policy is manipulated to suppress dissent against Jews or Israel.
    
    

    • Jews control all of the important positions in the entire Department – more than 100. This is also true for the Department of Defense and others.

    • Students will be arrested, imprisoned, deported, refused graduation, refused entry visas, and very possibly lose your citizenship, solely for the “crime” of disliking Jews or liking Palestine.

This excerpt from Michel Chossudovsky's "Imperial Conquest: America's 'Long War' against Humanity" presents a critical perspective on U.S. foreign policy. The author argues that America's military interventions since World War II constitute a continuous "long war" aimed at global economic and political domination. The text highlights the alleged use of "humanitarian mandates" and media disinformation to legitimize these conflicts, which are often described as having disastrous consequences for the targeted nations. Chossudovsky also discusses the purported role of U.S. intelligence in creating and manipulating "terrorist" groups, alongside the continued threat of nuclear warfare in a post-Cold War world. The piece examines historical events like the Korean War and the 9/11 attacks, asserting that they were used as pretexts for military expansion and economic control. 

Here are 40 key takeaway points from the sources, presented in a jotform manner, with two supporting sentences for each:

• • Imperial Conquest: America’s “Long War” against Humanity. Michel Chossudovsky

  • The U.S. and its NATO allies have embarked on a military adventure, “a long war”, which threatens the future of humanity.

  • This “war without borders” is intimately related to a worldwide process of economic restructuring, which has been conducive to the collapse of national economies and the impoverishment of large sectors of the World population.

  • The "Long War" concept describes U.S. military doctrine since World War II, aimed at global conquest and linked to a global economic agenda.

  • The concept of the “Long War” has characterized U.S. military doctrine since the end of World War II.

  • The Pentagon’s global military design is one of world conquest.

  • Warfare is globalized, combining military deployment with "non-conventional warfare" like covert intelligence operations and economic sanctions.

  • The military deployment of U.S.-NATO forces coupled with “non-conventional warfare” – including covert intelligence operations, economic sanctions and the thrust of “regime change”– is occurring simultaneously in several regions of the world.

  • America’s war is a cohesive and coordinated plan of worldwide military conquest which serves dominant financial and corporate interests.

  • Media campaigns are crucial for legitimizing war, often presenting it under a "humanitarian mandate" like NATO's Responsibility to Protect (R2P).

  • Central to an understanding of war, is the media campaign which grants it legitimacy in the eyes of public opinion.

  • War has been provided with a humanitarian mandate under NATO’s “Responsibility to Protect” (R2P).

  • The media often "turns realities upside down", upholding war as a humanitarian endeavor and branding those who oppose U.S. military intervention as "terrorists."

  • Realities are turned upside down. “War is Peace” said George Orwell.

  • While Washington wages a “Global War on Terrorism” (GWOT), those who forcefully oppose America’s wars of aggression are branded as terrorists.

  • The "Global War on Terrorism" (GWOT) narrative is primarily used to galvanize public support for worldwide campaigns against dissent.

  • The objective of the “Global War on Terrorism” narrative –which has been fully endorsed by the U.S. administration– has been to galvanize public support for a worldwide campaign against heresy.

  • Peaceful dissent becomes heresy.

  • Humanity is currently at a dangerous crossroads, closer to a World War III scenario involving nuclear weapons than at any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis.

  • At no time since the Cuban Missile Crisis has the World been closer to the unthinkable: a World War III scenario, a global military conflict involving the use of nuclear weapons.

  • The danger of World War III is not front-page news.

  • Nuclear weapons are no longer considered a "weapon of last resort" but are heralded by the Pentagon as "harmless" to civilians and part of the military toolbox.

  • Moreover, nuclear weapons are no longer considered a “weapon of last resort” under The Cold War doctrine of “Mutual Assured Destruction” (MAD).

  • Nuclear weapons are heralded by the Pentagon as “harmless to the surrounding civilian population because the explosion is underground”.

  • The U.S. global military design is implemented through a Unified Combat Command structure, with U.S. Strategic Command (U.S.STRATCOM) coordinating operations globally.

  • Militarization at the global level is instrumented through the U.S. military’s Unified Com- mand structure: the entire planet is divided up into geographic Combatant Commands under the control of the Pentagon.

  • U.S. Strategic Command (U.S.STRATCOM) Headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska plays a central role in coordinating military operations.

  • The Project for a New American Century (PNAC), a neoconservative blueprint, explicitly outlined a strategy for "waging a war without borders" and global domination.

  • The 2000 Project for the New American Century (PNAC), first formulated by the Neocons, was predicated on “waging a war without borders”.

  • In September 2000, a few months before the accession of George W. Bush to the White House, the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) published its blueprint for global domination under the title: “Rebuilding America’s Defenses”.

  • PNAC's objectives include defending the American homeland, winning "multiple, simultaneous major theater wars," and performing global "constabulary duties."

  • The PNAC’s declared objectives are: defend the American homeland; fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theater wars; perform the “constabulary” duties associated with shaping the security environment in critical regions.

  • Distinct from theater wars, the so-called “constabulary functions” imply a form of global military policing using various instruments of military intervention including punitive bomb- ings and the sending in of U.S. Special Forces, etc..

  • The "revolution in military affairs" within the PNAC framework involves developing new weapon systems like the Strategic Defense Initiative (Star Wars) and the weaponization of space.

  • The PNAC’s “revolution in military affairs” (meaning the development of new weapons sys- tems) consists of the Strategic Defense Initiative, the concurrent weaponization of space and the development of a new generation of nuclear weapons.

  • The Strategic Defense Initiative, (Star Wars), not only includes the controversial “Missile Shield”, but also a wide range of offensive laser-guided weapons with striking capabilities any- where in the world.

  • The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is identified as an instrument of weather and climatic warfare, capable of triggering natural disasters and considered a weapon of mass destruction.

  • [HAARP] is fully operational and has the ability of potentially triggering floods, droughts, hurricanes and earthquakes.

  • From a military standpoint, HAARP is a weapon of mass destruction.

  • The Pentagon's FALCON program is envisioned as the "ultimate New World Order weapons’ system" for global economic and political domination, capable of striking anywhere from the continental U.S.

  • Also contemplated is the Pentagon’s so-called FALCON program.

  • FALCON is the ultimate New World Order weapons’ system, to be used for global economic and political domination.

  • According to former NATO Commander General Wesley Clark, the Pentagon’s military roadmap in 2001 included a five-year campaign plan to target a total of seven countries, starting with Iraq.

  • According to (former) NATO Commander General Wesley Clark, the Pentagon’s military road-map consists of a sequence of countries: “[The] Five-year campaign plan [includes]… a total of seven countries, beginning with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Somalia and Sudan”.

  • “As I went back through the Pentagon in November 2001, one of the senior military staff officers had time for a chat. Yes, we were still on track for going against Iraq, he said. But there was more. This was being discussed as part of a five-year campaign plan, he said, and there were a total of seven countries, beginning with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Somalia and Sudan".

  • The ongoing wars in Palestine, Syria, and Iraq are depicted as a stepping stone towards a war on Iran, which could lead to military escalation involving Russia and China.

  • The ongoing war on Palestine, Syria and Iraq is a stepping stone towards a war on Iran, which could lead to a process of military escalation.

  • Russia and China, which are allies of both Syria and Iran, are also targeted by U.S.-NATO.

  • The breakup of Iraq and Syria along sectarian lines is a longstanding policy of the U.S. and its allies, modeled on the fragmentation of Yugoslavia.

  • The break up of Iraq and Syria along sectarian lines is a longstanding policy of the U.S. and its allies.

  • The proposed re-division of both Iraq and Syria is broadly modeled on that of the Federation of Yugoslavia which was split up into seven “independent states”.

  • Oil geopolitics are crucial to U.S.-NATO military operations, as the broader Middle East-Central Asian region holds over sixty percent of the world’s oil reserves.

  • The geopolitics of oil and oil pipelines is crucial in the conduct of U.S.-NATO military oper- ations.

  • The broader Middle East-Central Asian region encompasses more than sixty percent of the World’s oil reserves.

  • The "post-war era" (since WWII) is characterized as a period of continuous wars and militarization, where the U.S. often employs a strategy of having its allies bear the brunt of the fighting.

  • What is referred euphemistically as the “post war era” is in fact a period of continuous wars and militarization.

  • Most of the fighting was conducted by its allies, a strategy which the U.S. has used consistently in post-world war II conflicts.

  • Corporate America supported Nazi Germany during World War II, aiming to prolong the European war to debilitate both sides and ensure profitability.

  • U.S. corporate interests including Rockefeller’s Standard Oil supported both America’s allies as well as its enemies including Nazi Germany well beyond the U.S.’s entry into World War II in December 1941.

  • Corporate America neither wanted Hitler to lose this war nor to win it; instead they wanted this war to go on as long as possible.

  • Emerging as the victor in WWII, the U.S. determined the political and economic contours of post-War Western Europe, weakening both adversaries and allies.

  • Emerging as the victor nation in the wake of World War II, the U.S. has determined the political and economic contours of post-War Western Europe.

  • Both its World War II adversaries (Germany, Japan, Italy) as well as its allies (France, U.K. Belgium, the Netherlands) have been weakened.

  • The U.S. is actively displacing former colonial powers like France and Belgium in Africa, taking over control of their former colonies to expand its sphere of influence and exploit resources.

  • In Africa, the process of displacement of France’s sphere of influence is still ongoing.

  • The U.S. is currently taking over the control of France and Belgium’s former colonies in Central Africa and West Africa.

  • A complex form of "internal colonialism" is emerging within the European Union, where U.S. financial institutions and business conglomerates dictate monetary, trade, and investment agendas.

  • A complex form of “internal colonialism” is also emerging in the European Union.

  • U.S. financial institutions and business conglomerates together with their European partners are prevalent in setting the monetary, trade and investment agenda.

  • The entire period from 1945 to the present is marked by a succession of U.S.-sponsored wars and military-intelligence interventions across the globe, following a cohesive military roadmap.

  • The entire period (1945- present) has been marked by a succession of U.S. sponsored wars and military-intelligence interventions in all major regions of the World.

  • We are not dealing with piecemeal military operations pertaining to specific countries and regions: There is a military road-map, a sequence of military operations.

  • The Truman Doctrine (1948), formulated by George F. Kennan, provides the ideological underpinning for the U.S. agenda of global economic and strategic dominance through military means.

  • The ideological underpinnings of this agenda are to be found in what is known as the “Truman Doctrine”, first formulated by foreign policy adviser George F. Kennan in a 1948 State Department brief.

  • It states in polite terms that the U.S. should seek economic and strategic dominance through military means.

  • The Truman Doctrine explicitly advises the U.S. to "dispense with all sentimentality and day-dreaming" regarding altruism, human rights, and raising living standards, focusing instead on "straight power concepts."

  • "We need not deceive ourselves that we can afford today the luxury of al- truism and world-benefaction".

  • "We should cease to talk about vague and–for the Far East–unreal objectives such as human rights, the raising of the living standards, and democratization. The day is not far off when we are going to have to deal in straight power concepts. The less we are then hampered by idealistic slogans, the better”.

  • The U.S. and British governments were deeply complicit in the 1965 Indonesian massacre, which resulted in the murder of more than half a million alleged communist sympathizers.

  • The United States and British governments, supported by Australia, were deeply complicit in the murder of more than half a million alleged communist sympathizers in the wake of the 1965 Indonesian coup.

  • According to professor Brad Simpson of Princeton University the U.S. and British governments did “everything in their power” to ensure that the Indonesian army would carry out the mass killings.

  • The planned demise of the United Nations system as an independent and influential international body has been part of U.S. foreign policy since its inception, as articulated in the Truman Doctrine.

  • The planned disintegration of the United Nations system as an independent and influential international body has been on the drawing board of U.S. foreign policy since the inception of the United Nations in 1946.

  • Its planned demise was an integral part of The Truman Doctrine as defined in 1948.

  • The United Nations is largely viewed as an "appendage of the U.S. State Department," acting as a "rubber stamp" for U.S. war crimes and implementing peacekeeping operations on behalf of Anglo-American invaders.

  • Today the UN is in many regards an appendage of the U.S. State Department.

  • Since Gulf War I, the UN has largely acted as a rubber stamp. It has closed its eyes to U.S. war crimes, it has implemented so-called peacekeeping operations on behalf of the Anglo-American invaders, in violation of the UN Charter.

  • The Korean War (1950-1953) was the first major U.S. military operation post-WWII, representing a transfer of colonial power from Japan to the United States in Korea.

  • The Korean War (1950-1953) was the first major military operation undertaken by the U.S. in the wake of World War II, launched at the very outset of what was euphemistically called “The Cold War”.

  • In many respects it was a continuation of World War II, whereby Ko- rean lands under Japanese colonial occupation were, from one day to the next, handed over to a new colonial power – The United States of America.

  • The U.S. military government in South Korea immediately abolished the provisional government of the People’s Republic of Korea (PRK), which sought social reforms and reunification.

  • From the outset, the U.S. military government refused to recognize the provisional gov- ernment of the People’s Republic of Korea (PRK) (in South Korea), which was committed to major social reforms including land distribution, laws protecting the rights of workers, min- imum wage legislation and the reunification of North and South Korea.

  • The PRK was abolished by military decree in September 1945 by the U.S.AMG.

  • The U.S. committed extensive war crimes against the Korean people, including targeted assassinations of political dissidents and a strategy of mass civilian killings.

  • The crimes committed by the U.S. against the people of Korea in the course of the Korean War but also in its aftermath are unprecedented in modern history.

  • The Korean War was also characterized by a practice of targeted assassinations of political dissidents, which was subsequently implemented by the CIA in numerous countries.

  • I.F. Stone’s "Hidden History of the Korean War" suggests the U.S. deliberately sought a pretext to incite North Korea to cross the 38th parallel, leading to all-out war.

  • According to I.F. Stone’s “Hidden History of the Korean War” first published in 1952 (at the height of the Korean War), the U.S. deliberately sought a pretext, an act of deception, which incited the North to cross the thirty-eighth parallel ultimately leading to all-out war.

  • Stone makes a strong case that there were those in the U.S. government and military who saw a war in Korea and the resulting instability in East Asia as in the U.S. national interest.

  • The pattern of inciting the enemy to "fire the first shot" is a well-established U.S. military doctrine, used to create "War Pretext Incidents" for intervention on grounds of "Self-Defense."

  • This pattern of inciting the enemy “to fire the first shot” is well established in U.S. military doctrine.

  • It pertains to creating a “War Pretext Incident” which provides the aggressor a jus- tification to intervene on the grounds of “Self- Defense”.

  • The Korean War implemented a strategy of "mass killings of civilians" through extensive air raids and carpet bombing, destroying most North Korean cities and villages.

  • While nuclear weapons were not used during the Korean War, what prevailed was the strategy of “mass killings of civilians” which had been formulated during World War II.

  • The territories North of the thirty-eighth parallel were subjected to extensive carpet bomb- ing, which resulted in the destruction of seventy-eight cities and thousands of villages.

  • The U.S. foreign policy agenda is characterized as "criminal," with war crimes resulting from the criminalization of the entire State system, including its civilian and military institutions and corporate interests.

  • What we are dealing with is a criminal U.S. foreign policy agenda.

  • War crimes are the result of the criminalization of the U.S. State and foreign policy appa- ratus.

  • The September 11, 2001, attacks provided the justification for waging a "war without borders" and the establishment of the Homeland Security State.

  • September 11, 2001 provided a justification for waging a war without borders.

  • Washington’s agenda consists in extending the frontiers of the American Empire to facilitate complete U.S. cor- porate control, while installing within America the institutions of the Homeland Security State.

  • Al Qaeda is described as a "construct of U.S. intelligence" used as a pretext for war and an instrument of non-conventional warfare, despite being publicly portrayed as an enemy of the Western world.

  • The September 11, 2001 attacks also played a crucial role in the formulation of U.S. mil- itary doctrine, namely in sustaining the legend that Al Qaeda is an enemy of the Western world when in fact it is a construct of U.S. intelligence, which is used not only as a pretext to wage war on humanitarian grounds but also as an instrument of non-conventional war- fare.

  • Propaganda purports to erase the history of Al Qaeda created by the CIA, drown the truth and “kill the evidence” on how this “outside enemy” was fabricated and transformed into “Enemy Number One”.

  • The Islamic State (ISIS), though portrayed as a target of U.S.-NATO bombing campaigns, is covertly supported and financed by the U.S. and its allies to destabilize Iraq and Syria.

  • The Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) – which operates in both Syria and Iraq– is covertly supported and financed by the U.S. and its allies including Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

  • Moreover, the Islamic State (IS) is a creation of U.S. intelligence with the support of Britain’s MI6, Israel’s Mossad, Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Saudi Arabia’s Gen- eral Intelligence Presidency (GIP).

  • Obama’s "Pivot to Asia" is a military strategy to encircle China and Russia, extending U.S. military deployments and harnessing regional allies like Japan, South Korea, and Australia.

  • The “Pivot to Asia” from a military standpoint consists in extending U.S. military de- ployments in the Asia-Pacific as well as harnessing the participation of Washington’s allies in the region, including Japan, South Korea and Australia.

  • This Pentagon strategy of military encirclement of both China and Russia requires both centralized military decision making (Pentagon, U.S.STRATCOM) as well coordination with NATO and the various U.S. regional commands.
