Is asking questions a crime? If you develop doubts about the Holocaust, isn’t the only way to get rid of these doubts by asking questions? A lot of individuals and groups are enraged by those who ask critical questions about the Holocaust. Every other historical issue is debated as a matter of course, but influential pressure groups, like the ADL, have made the Holocaust story an exception. Anyone should be encouraged to investigate critically the Holocaust narrative in the same way they are encouraged to investigate every other historical event. This is not a radi­cal point of view. It is just plain reason.

And I don’t know about you, but typically when people have an explosive reaction about a certain topic and they try to make it illegal to question it, that usually means there’s something there that they don’t want you to find. So, naturally, I become even more curious.

Six million Jews died in the Holocaust – we all “know” that, don’t we? But how do we know? And for how long have we known about it?

When we dig into the matter, the results are quite surprising. The source of the famous “6 million” is an affidavit by an SS intelligence officer, Dr. Wilhelm Hoettl, at the Nuremberg trials. And this wasn't even a first-hand account, but something that was repeated to him by Adolf Eichmann in late 1944.

How could Eichman know the death toll in 1944 when the war didn’t end until summer of 1945? Turns out, the “6 million” figure dates back long before 1944.

The 6 Million Prophecy

In addition to Eichmann’s testimony during the Nuremberg trials that he heard it in 1944, this number was already mentioned by some Zionist leaders in June 1945, i.e. immediately after the end of the war, although in the chaos prevailing in Europe at the time, it was impossible to carry out population censuses.

The Soviets had published this number in their propaganda press by the end of 1944 and a number of American newspapers and magazines had already prophesied during the war that the 6 million Jews living in Hitler’s sphere of influence would be systematically exterminated. The earliest such predictions were published right after Germany’s victory over France in June 1940.

However, the Zionist leader Chaim Weizmann had already mentioned in 1936 that 6 million were in mortal danger.

In the 1920s, advertisements and reports in the US press raised huge sums of money to “save the 6 million Jews” who were supposed to be in mortal danger in Poland and the Soviet Union. The same number of Jews threatened with death can even be found in press reports during the First World War. In fact, reports in US newspapers, especially in the New York Times, have been appearing since the late 19th Century claiming that 6 million Jews would be systematically exterminated. Even the word “Holocaust” appeared for the first time in this context.

The propaganda carried out since 1880 with the 6-million number should be reason enough to be skeptical of this obviously highly symbolic number.

Repeat It Long Enough, It Eventually Becomes True

One thing that has always interested me about the famous “6 million” is how often it’s been repeated. Almost as if it’s a brainwashing tactic. Everybody in the Western world has heard about the “6 million Jews” dying during the Second World War, but almost nobody can ever explain the evidence behind it. They just know they heard or read about it somewhere, meaning the media or their teacher told them. Since when have either of those been reliable sources?

Ask the average person how many Jews were murdered during the Holocaust, and they’ll likely know the commonly cited figure.

Ask how many Chinese civilians died during the Second World War, how many Soviet citizens were killed, how many Germans died, or even how many Americans died, and far fewer people can answer.

In America, as time goes by, more emphasis has been placed on the fate of one particular people during World War Two, to the exclusion of everybody else.

Auschwitz

Auschwitz is central to the Holocaust legend. If it can be proven that the official stories we have been told about Auschwitz are not true, the entire fabric of the Holocaust ultimately has to unravel.

History books had said for decades that of the 6 million Jews who died during the Holocaust, 4 million died at Auschwitz alone.

In 1990, Auschwitz lowered their figure from 4 million dead to 1 million dead. That is 3 million taken out of the equation overnight. Where did these 3 million go? Were they never there in the first place? Were they in the camps, but survived? If you can lose 3 million people overnight, who’s to say that 1 million remaining is not also wrong?

But for argument’s sake, let’s say the new 1 million is to be believed, that means the actual overall number of Jewish Holocaust victims had to be considerably less than the much-talked-about figure of 6 million.

To put this simply: from the above, subtract the 3 million Jews dead at Auschwitz from the popular 6 million figure and that leaves 3 million Jews dead.

The Red Cross

There are documents from the Red Cross that explicitly stated the concentration camps were not used for extermination. They had detailed records of how many prisoners died and it was significantly lower than famous “6 million".”

The Red Cross stated there were 270,000 recorded deaths.
Note: the document states the number of deaths at Auschwitz was 52,000.

Majdanek Concentration Camp

Majdanek is the name of a German concentration camp that operated from 1939 to 1944 on the outskirts of the Polish city of Lublin. It was the first of the large German camps to be occupied by Allied troops in the summer of 1944.

During a press conference on August 25th, 1944, the Soviets claimed a death toll of some two million for that camp.

About a year later, during the Nuremberg Military Tribunal, the Soviets claimed the death toll to be up to 1.5 million. Many of these victims are said to have been murdered in seven gas chambers.

Three years after the war, this number was reduced to 360,000 by a Polish commission.

The next drop to 235,000 victims came after the collapse of the communist Eastern bloc.

The last reduction so far was made in 2005 by the director of the Majdanek Museum: According to this, there were 78,000 victims, and five of the seven gas chambers originally claimed were no longer mentioned without giving any reason for this revision.

Just like Auschwitz, here we have another case where the claimed death tolls have been drastically reduced over and over again.

Why would the Soviets lie? It’s paramount to understand that the Bolsheviks, under Stalin, were still in charge in 1944 at the time the first press conference took place announcing that 2 million Jews were killed at Majdanek.

Stalin’s government was overwhelmingly Jewish at over 80%. You can read my article below to learn more about Jewish involvement in the Bolshevik revolution, which was actually a Jewish Revolution.

Worldwide Jewish Population

The Jewish population before, during and after the war barely changed and even increased at first.

According to the World Almanac, featuring information from the American Jewish Committee and the Statistical Bureau of the Jewish Synagogue Council of America.

As shown, the numbers of Jews before and during the war, are mostly congruent and stable. Therefore, one may take as a fact 15.7 million Jews around the world shortly before the War, with a slight decline during the War.

How could it be that immediately after the war, there are MORE Jews than there was DURING the war?

If between 1940 and 1947 six million Jews were murdered, it is not possible that there were more Jews in 1949 than in 1940.

Holocaust Laws

Reading and researching is something I am excellent at. Math? Not so much. So if my math is wrong anywhere in this article please let me know. As I mentioned in my introduction, all historical events should be allowed to be examined and questioned. That’s simply all that I am doing here.

The Holocaust is the Achilles’ Heel of the global Jewish and Zionist lobby. It is their central tool of guilt. It was the justification for the creation of the apartheid nation state of Israel, who are currently committing a genocide. It is the source of billions in ‘reparations’ - well over $120 billion to date. It allows them to promote their victimhood status throughout the West and to exploit people’s sympathies. Consequently, undermining the Holocaust story is one of the most potent actions we can take today to bring down Jewish and Zionist power.

Lastly, if something is illegal to question in multiple countries, it stands a pretty good chance that some, or even all of what they purport to have happened, didn’t actually happen.

The ADL is a powerful Jewish organization that for years has worked to gaslight and smear Americans or anybody who speaks out against the state of Israel through a malicious network of smears and lies.

They are the largest trainers of American law enforcement. They illegally spy on Americans. They’re involved in political assassinations and they’re staunch defenders of pedophilia, genocide and murder.

It’s time to bring their crimes to light.

The Dark Backstory

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is a Jewish organization that was created by a group called B’nai B’rith, a Freemason society strictly for Jewish people. Essentially, the ADL serves as the public relations arm of the malevolent B’nai B’rith. This is the same group that was implicated in the assassination of President Lincoln.

The ADL was created to protect the reputation of a Jewish murderer and pedophile named Leo Frank. Frank raped and murdered 13-year-old Mary Fagan in Georgia and then tried to blame it on a poor, black and illiterate janitor who worked for him.

Keep in mind, this was in 1913 in the racist segregated south. You could have accused a black man of looking at you the wrong way and he would have been lynched.

Even though the evidence was so overwhelming that they convicted Frank despite his multiple attempts to plant evidence and pin the crime on other people, the ADL refers to Frank as a “victim of antisemitism.”

Who Was Leo Frank? And What Happened to Mary Phagan?

Leo Frank was the President of the local B’nai B’rith chapter. He was related to Jacob Frank, the founder of “Frankism.” A cult which practiced ritualistic incest and pedophilia.

Mary worked at the sweat shop where Frank was the superintendent. It was a pencil factory. Frank had a reputation for being predatory towards the factory girls, knowing that many of them could not afford living off of $5 a week and might be willing to exchange favors for cash.

Mary went to Frank’s office to collect her pay of $1.20 and she was later found incredibly brutalized in the basement of the factory. Frank had bludgeoned her until she could no longer resist, raped her, and when he was finished, he strangled her to death.

Besides her corpse were two notes describing her murderer: a tall black man called the night witch. They were written through Mary’s perspective, as though she jotted it down during her final moments.

The black man, Newt Lee, who discovered Mary’s body, was immediately brought into the police station and questioned. Police wasted no time in attempting to get a confession out of him, even going so far as firing a gun next to his head during the interrogation.

Lee refused to confess and more suspects were arrested as pressure mounted to find Mary’s killer. Eventually, only two suspects remained: Jim Conley, the factory’s black janitor and Leo Frank, the last person to admit seeing Mary alive.

Hoax of a Trial

During the trial, witness after witness described Leo Frank as a man with a persistent sexual interest in the young girls who worked for him. One factory employee called him “lascivious,” meaning a pervert. Others testified that he would secretly watch girls as they changed clothes and routinely singled out female employees for unwanted attention.

Willie Turner testified that Frank had begun pursuing Mary Phagan specifically, frequently trying to corner her for conversation and lingering around her workstation while she was trying to work. According to testimony from fellow employee Dewey Hewell, Frank regularly placed his hands on Mary’s shoulders and was often seen hovering around her. One account claimed that when Mary resisted his advances, Frank reminded her that he was the superintendent, implying that her job depended on staying in his good graces.

More than 20, white, female factory employees testified that Frank behaved in a sexually inappropriate manner toward young women throughout the factory, with several saying Mary received particularly close attention.

At the trial, Conley claimed that Frank paid him to write the murder notes I described above, where he pinned it on the black “night witch.”

The prosecution also claimed that Frank’s legal team was involved in witness tampering and bribery.

Finally, the jury reached a unanimous verdict. This jury pool, which by the way included Jewish people, all decided that Leo Frank was guilty.

After being convicted of murder, the judge sentenced Frank to death. B’nai B’rith was outraged and for the next year and a half, they pressured and harassed the courts and government officials.

For the next 2 years, they filed over 13 appeals in hopes of exonerating Frank. Every single one failed. They were doing everything they could to get the state to grant him a stay of execution.

The day before his scheduled execution, the governor of Georgia commuted his death sentence to 115 years in prison. The public was so infuriated with this decision that the governor fled the state of Georgia 5 days later and never returned.

The public believed that the justice system had failed the real victim, Mary Phagan, because of under-the-table deals and conflicts of interest and they’d be right.

The governor who was able to have Frank’s sentence reduced to life in prison, was a partner at the law firm of Frank’s defense team.

Leo Frank’s Death

In August of 1915, a group of about 25 men who called themselves the “Knights of Mary Phagan,” took justice into their own hands, kidnapped Frank from prison and lynched him.

In true pedophilia fashion, in 1982, the ADL petitioned the state of Georgia to pardon Leo Frank. Not because he was innocent, Frank’s conviction still stands, but because the prison had failed to stop those men from killing Frank.

This request was accepted in 1986. To the ADL, a Jewish man’s reputation is more important than the 13-year-old girl that he sexually assaulted, torured and strangled to death.

This is just one example of how the ADL can entirely rewrite narratives, control the press and the law. Many of these Jewish organizations have insidious origins that have been otherwise ignored.

ADL’s Espionage Activities

The ADL has worked with our government since the 1930s. They unlawfully started surveilling Americans and American organizations that they, a JEWISH IMMIGRANT organization, deemed “un-American.”

In January 1993, the San Francisco Police Department reported that it had recently raided the Northern California headquarters of the ADL based upon information provided by the FBI. The SFPD discovered that the organization had been keeping intelligence files on more than 600 civic organizations and 10,000 individuals, overwhelmingly of a liberal orientation, with the SFPD inspector estimating that 75% of the material had been illegally obtained, much of it by secret payments to police officials.

This was merely the tip of the iceberg in what clearly amounted to the largest domestic spying operation by any private organization in American history, and according to some sources, ADL agents across the country had targeted over 1,000 political, religious, labor, and civil rights organizations, with the New York headquarters of the ADL maintaining active dossiers on more than a million Americans.

Mind you, none of these people were under any suspicion by the U.S government. This was a rogue foreign organization collecting surveillance data on American citizens and then sending that data to Israel.

Not long afterward, an ACLU official who had previously held a high-ranking position with the ADL revealed in an interview that his organization had been the actual source of the highly controversial 1960s surveillance on Martin Luther King, Jr., which it had then provided to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. For many years Hoover had been furiously denounced in the national media headlines for his use of tapes and other secret information on King’s activities, but when a local San Francisco newspaper revealed that an ADL spying operation had actually been the source of all that sordid material, the bombshell revelation was totally ignored in the national media and only reported by fringe organizations. Today almost no Americans are aware of that fact.

Interesting enough, during the investigation, a private investigator hired by the ADL, Roy Bullock, confessed to police that one of the things he was trying to find was sexual impropriety on an anti-apartheid activist named Desmond Tutu. You know, since blackmail is their speciality.

Additionally, in court documents, state officials said that the ADL conspired to obtain confidential police material, a felony in California, and that the ADL had violated state tax laws by paying Bullock through a lawyer.

The documents also mentioned that the ADL's (illegal) spying operations were reported to the Israeli government and its intelligence agencies.

The court documents said the ADL had a network of sympathetic police officers sharing data, and that investigators had questioned police about free sponsored trips to Israel they received from the ADL. It’s hilarious to see how literally nothing has changed today. I have lost count of how many political pundits, influencers and politicians have taken an all expense paid trip to Israel, even while a genocide is unfolding.

“Sponsored trips” = bribes.
It’s also a great way to place somebody in a comprised position to then be able to blackmail them.

I know of no other private organization in American history that has been involved in even a sliver of such illegal domestic espionage activity, which appears to have been directed against almost all groups and prominent individuals—left, right, and center—suspected of being insufficiently aligned with Jewish and Israeli interests. Some of the illegal material found in the ADL’s possession even raised dark suspicions that it had played a role in domestic terrorist attacks and political assassinations directed against foreign leaders. I am no legal expert, but given the massive scale of such illegal ADL activities, I wonder whether a plausible case might have been made to prosecute the entire organization under RICO statutes and sentence all of its leaders to long prison terms.

Instead, the resulting government charges were quickly settled with merely a trivial fine and a legal slap on the wrist, demonstrating the near-total impunity provided by massive Jewish political power in modern American society.

In effect, the ADL seems to have long operated as a privatized version of our country’s secret political police, monitoring and enforcing its ideological doctrines on behalf of Jewish groups much as the Stasi did for the Communist rulers of East Germany.

Given such a long history of criminal activity, allowing the ADL to now extend its oversight to our largest Social Media platforms (X, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok) amounts to appointing the Mafia to supervise the FBI and the NSA, or taking a very large step towards implementing George Orwell’s ” Ministry of Truth” on behalf of Jewish interests.

Here’s a video I did on the CEO of the ADL admitting to monitoring American citizens:

ADL = Mossad?

We know from the 1993 case I talked about above that the ADL has been spying on Americans for decades. We also know that intelligence agencies are notorious for planting federal agents as journalists and news anchors.

We also know from the 1993 case that the ADL sends the information they obtain, by illegally spying on Americans, back to the Mossad. So is it really that far of a stretch to believe that these are actually Mossad agents? Or maybe not an official “agent” but just a bunch of “Epstein-like” characters doing the dirty work for the Mossad? I mean, think about it. How else would they obtain the sort of technology you would need in order to spy on people? It seems like that’s the sort of thing that an intelligent agency would have.

ADL In Partnership With The U.S. Government

Not only does the ADL protect pedophiles, spy on innocent Americans and get involved in political assassinations, but I’m sure it will warm your heart to know they also have extremely close relationships with all of the federal agencies, police departments, and lawmakers in the United Sates.

They have helped all of these agencies shape how to define and address “hate", “bias,” and “extremism.”

They all but created the FBI’s training manual on hate guidelines, so that’s awesome.

The ADL is also the largest trainer of law enforcement in America. The group that was created to protect a psychopathic pedophile is training your local law enforcement. Seems like a great idea to me.

And remember, this is a group of people whose primary allegiance is not the United States, but Israel and Jewish people. They do not exist to protect the interests of the average American, in fact it’s entirely the opposite of that.

Oh, and their headquarters are literally in Jerusalem…

Now if you point out the ADL’s espionage and mob-like activities, they will coin you an antisemite and run vicious smear campaigns against you. They will never make even the slightest attempt to disprove the allegations against them because they’re always true.

At what point will the term “antisemitic” be synonymous with “correct'“?

This rabbit hole is never ending, so let me know if you want me to drop a part two in the comments.

To wrap this up, I’ll finish with this: the ADL was created to protect a pedophile who brutally raped, tortured and strangled a 13 year old little girl to death. They are defenders of genocide, pedophilia and murder. They illegally spy on Americans. They’re involved in political assassinations. Their allegiance is to Israel and organized Jewry. So why are they still allowed to work with and inside of the United States government? Why do they have so much pull in our government?

This is an issue that should concern everybody.

Last but certainly not least, Mary Phagan, I hope you are resting in peace.

The March 8, 2026, issue of The New York Times Magazine featured an article by Matthieu Aikins and Wesley Morgan entitled “America’ Secret Veterans: They Fought For the C.I.A. in Afghanistan. Now, 10,000 Former Zero Unit Soldiers Are in the United States and Living in Fear.”1

The article focused on veterans of a CIA-funded and directed death squad in Afghanistan known as “Zero Units” who are struggling to integrate into American society and make a living after obtaining visas to live in the U.S.

One of the veterans profiled, Mohammad Iqbal, was working maintenance at a hotel in a working-class suburb of San Diego trying to support six kids.

He reunited with his old war comrades in November when another member of the Zero Units, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, made national news by shooting two Army National Guard soldiers in Washington, D.C.

Aikins and Morgan wrote:

“although intended as a covert program, the Zero Units expanded into a sophisticated standing army controlled by the C.I.A.” which was “dogged by allegations of abuses” and “labeled by some critics as death squads.”

These latter allegations derived from the fact that the Zero Units conducted “snatch and grab” operations where they would kidnap suspects identified through blacklists who were then subjected to torture in U.S.-run prisons and often never heard from again.

In 2018, the United Nations reported that the Zero Units were responsible for a majority of civilian casualties during government raids. Human rights groups and journalists reported that they carried out indiscriminate killing and civilian executions.

The CIA dismissed these latter reports as “Taliban propaganda,” though even the Afghan government complained about Zero Units killing civilians—like in Kandahar Province in 2009, where they killed the provincial police chief and nine other local government officials.

According to Aikins and Morgan, former member of the Zero Units testified that “potentially illegal killings” were “tacitly condoned, ordered or even carried out by American advisers in the name of preventing militants from returning to the battlefield.”

A former Joint Strategic Operations Command (JSOC) officer described watching an aerial video where a CIA adviser working with Zero Units shot and killed a man taken prisoner who had been observing an Afghan army truck go by.

A military investigation into the incident was turned over to the CIA’s Inspector General’s office, which rejected as baseless the claim that CIA personnel were involved in extrajudicial killing—which is known to be untrue.

The Zero Units were formed in the early 2000s as an off-shoot of Northern Alliance militias trained by the CIA and U.S. Special Forces in the 1990s and after the U.S.-NATO invasion of Afghanistan following the 9/11 attack.

According to Aikins and Morgan, the Pentagon faced legal restrictions on paying foreign fighters, but not the CIA, which was legally permitted to hand out wads of cash to local warlords.

The CIA consequently began hiring more and more Afghan fighters directly into what it called Counter-Terrorism Pursuit Teams, which would evolve into the Zero Units.

While the CIA paramilitaries who ran the program called themselves “advisers,” as in the early period of the Vietnam War, according to Aikins and Morgan, they not only trained their recruits, but also “commanded them on missions and fought alongside them in battles.” At least nine CIA officers are estimated to have died fighting directly with the Zero Units.

Aikins and Morgan emphasized that the Zero Units were similar to “other units within the U.S.-led special operation campaign, which as time went on placed an increasing emphasis on killing rather than capturing those they suspected of being militants. Aggressive raids in enemy-held terrain in some cases escalated to the killing of unarmed men who posed no immediate threat.”2

One Special Operations veteran who was on multiple Zero Unit missions in which unarmed captives were shot, said “we’d hear: ‘this guy is a bomb maker who keeps killing U.S. troops. He isn’t going to resist. He’s just going to surrender but he’s just going to be released.’

So an adviser would tell a couple of guys to stay back and then kill him. Afterward, photographs of the bodies would be taken with guns planted on them. This kind of execution would usually take place after most of the raid force left the target to limit the number of people with direct knowledge.

‘I’ve seen it happen both ways, where a couple of Americans stayed behind and did it and where Afghans were told to do it. They were doing it willingly, but on American’s instructions.’”

Afghanistan: No Anomaly

The CIA’s participation in extra-judicial assassinations has a long history that goes back to the CIA’s founding era.

Under Operation Rollback, the CIA recruited ex-Nazi agents to infiltrate Eastern European countries to try to foment sabotage behind enemy lines.

In South Korea, the CIA and its predecessor agencies trained and equipped right-wing vigilantes described by journalist Mark Gayn as resembling “Hollywood underworld killers” who beat and killed leftists and were sent to try to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Il-Sung.3

The Truman administration initiated a clandestine police training program, continued under Eisenhower and expanded upon by the JFK and LBJ administrations, in which CIA advisers helped create blacklists that were used to target “subversives” in political sweep operations. Many CIA-trained units evolved into death squads—like in the Philippines, Indonesia and South America under the infamous Operation Condor.4

In more recent years, the CIA trained terrorist commando units in Iraq and Syria that carried out extrajudicial killings and other atrocities in Ukraine that celebrated the murder of civilians on a CIA-linked website.

Below are some more details on CIA-supported death squads that provide an important reason why we need to build a movement to abolish the CIA.

Vietnam: Operation Phoenix

Douglas Valentine’s book The Phoenix Program detailed the CIA’s work with “hunter-killer teams” known as Provincial Reconnaissance Units (PRUs) that would kidnap, torture and execute suspected National Liberation Front (NLF) cadres who were fighting for Vietnam’s liberation.

Phoenix targets developed from CIA blacklists included civilian government officials and town mayors. The CIA adopted psychological warfare tactics whereby they would murder civilians while dressed up as NLF guerrillas so the atrocities could be blamed on them.

Over time, the Phoenix Program developed into a giant extortion racket. PRU agents and corrupt South Vietnamese government officials would use it to carry out private vendettas and kill personal enemies or force people to give them huge sums of money under the threat of death.

Navy SEAL Elton Manzione was typical in coming to the realization that “we were no longer the good guy in the white hat defending freedom” but, rather, “assassins pure and simple,”5 just like the CIA officers who worked with the Zero Units in Afghanistan.

Indonesia and Laos

In the 1980s, Attorney Daniel Sheehan interviewed CIA operatives Edwin Wilson and Carl Jenkins who told him of the central role that the CIA played in setting up death squad operations on behalf of the Indonesian army, using the model of the Phoenix program in Vietnam.

The CIA had helped facilitate a coup in Indonesia in 1965 against socialist leader Ahmed Sukarno that empowered right-wing General Mohammed Suharto who mobilized death squads to liquidate the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI), fueling a bloodbath that left between one to three million people dead.

In the late 1970s, CIA-backed death squads extended their operations into East Timor under the direction of Thomas G. Clines, a deputy of Theodore Shackley who served as CIA Station Chief in Saigon from 1968-1972 when he helped run the Phoenix program.

Shackley also served as CIA Station Chief in Vientiane, Laos from 1966-1968 where he coordinated a secret dirty war against the communist Pathet Lao who won the country’s only free election in 1958 that was sabotaged by the CIA.

Financed largely through the narcotics trade, death squad operations in Laos were carried out by Hmong irregular forces who had been molded into a CIA clandestine army and were the equivalent of the PRU in the Phoenix program.

When one of Shackley’s protégés, Harold Chipman, gave the green light for killing a suspected Vietnamese double agent, he tellingly told the assassins: “Shack won’t mind; he carried out 250 political murders in Laos.”

In April 1963, a CIA trained Police General in Laos, Siho Lamphouthoucoul, coordinated the assassination of Quinim Pholsena, Laos’s Foreign Minister and head of the “Peace and Neutrality” party.

Quinim was intent on strengthening the ties between Laos’ then-neutralist government and the left-wing Pathet Lao, which went against the Kennedy administration’s strategy of isolating the Pathet Lao and forging a coalition between Lao neutralists and far-right Generals backed by the Pentagon and CIA

Quinim Pholsena’s wife, Chy, who was herself shot but survived, told Australian journalist Wilfred G. Burchett there was “no doubt that [Phoumi] Nosavan [right-wing General on CIA payroll] and the CIA had arranged the assassination [of her husband].”

El Salvador

Beginning in the early 1960s under John F. Kennedy, the CIA supplied Salvadoran police and security forces with the names and whereabouts of political dissidents who were targeted for liquidation.

These dissidents threatened the U.S. foreign policy goal of keeping El Salvador subordinate and its economy open to corporate exploitation and integrated with other Central American countries in a regional common market.

Journalist Allan Nairn noted that, “During the Kennedy administration, agents of the U.S. government in El Salvador set up two official security organizations that killed thousands of peasants and suspected leftists over the next 15 years.

These organizations, guided by American operatives, developed into the paramilitary apparatus that came to be known as the Salvadoran death squads.”6

One of the key figures helping to establish police paramilitary agencies in El Salvador that evolved into death-squads was Arthur “Bull” Simons, a Green Beret who had done similar work serving with White Star Special Forces teams in Laos.

Stewart Klepper wrote in Covert Action Information Bulletin (1981) that the Salvadoran death squads developed “homespun methods of terrorizing the population, such as hacking their victims to pieces with machetes and pouring acid over their faces.”

In the 1980s, these tactics were directed against the leftist Farabundo Marti Liberation Front (FMLN), which took to guerrilla warfare after the murder of Archbishop Oscar Romero by a death squad unit headed by Roberto D’Aubuisson.

A protégé of the father of Salvadoran death squads, Jose Alberto Medrano, whom a State Department official termed “the CIA’s boy,”7 D’Aubuisson was trained at the International Police Academy (IPA) in Washington, D.C., in 1971 and the U.S. Army School of the Americas at Fort Benning, Georgia, in 1972, and spent time with U.S. Special Forces in Panama.

Robert E. White, U.S. ambassador to El Salvador from 1977 to 1980, said that D’Aubuisson had a “sick mind” and was a “pathological killer.”

He was involved in the slayings of six Jesuit priests in 1989 and many other acts of violence against clerics and others, including the 1980 killing of Mario Zamora Rivas, El Salvador’s Attorney General.

According to Colonel Roberto Eulalio Santibañez, D’Aubuisson’s death-squad network was overseen by Colonel Nicolás Carranza, director of the Treasury Police, who was paid $90,000 a year by the CIA through much of the 1980s.

Two of D’Aubuissson’s former associates said that D’Aubuisson also received CIA money and had a “disturbingly close relationship” with a particular U.S. military attaché.

Iraq

In 2004, Vice President Dick Cheney called for the “Salvador Option” in Iraq—meaning the creation of counter-terrorism (i.e., “death”) squads to defeat a mounting insurgency against U.S. occupation forces.

Cheney called upon Special Forces veterans who had operated in El Salvador’s 1980s war, such as James Steele, who was appointed chief adviser to Iraqi police commandos that tortured suspected insurgents and took retribution on Sunnis who had supported Saddam Hussein.

As U.S ambassador to Iraq, the Bush-Cheney administration had John Negroponte, a protégé of Henry Kissinger who had been U.S. ambassador to Honduras in the 1980s where dirty war operations in Central America were headquartered.

With such men in charge, journalist Dahr Jamail wrote that it was “no coincidence that daily life in Iraq came to resemble what the death squads generated in Central America…Hundreds of dead lay unclaimed at the morgue—blood-caked men who had been shot, knifed, garroted or apparently suffocated by the plastic bag still over their head. Many of the bodies were sprawled with their hands still bound.”8

Fitting a long-standing precedent, the U.S. favored hard-liners like Adnan Thabit, head of the police commando working under Steele, who hosted a grotesque “reality” show on U.S.-backed Al-Iraqiya television that displayed badly beaten Iraqis confessing to resistance activities.

The head of the Ministry of Interior in 2005-2006, Bayan Jabr, oversaw a torture chamber beneath his office in which survivors were left with drill marks on their skulls.

Jabr worked closely with David Petraeus, a Special Forces adviser in El Salvador in the 1980s, who ran the military police training program in Iraq, and Steven Casteel, who as Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) intelligence chief in the 1990s, oversaw the killing of drug lord Pablo Escobar and trained Andean security forces known for “disappearing” peasant leaders and union activists.9

Muntadher al-Samari, an Iraqi General who worked with Colonel Steele to rebuild Iraq’s police force, told The Guardian that, one day when he was having lunch with Colonel Steele and Colonel James Coffman, the door opened, and “Captain Jabr was there torturing a prisoner. He [the victim] was hanging upside down and Steele got up and just closed the door, he didn’t say anything—it was just normal for him.”

Al-Samari continued by noting that America’s top brass and the Iraqi leadership knew all about the secret prisons where Iraqis were being tortured. “The things that went on there: drilling, murder, torture [were] the ugliest sort of torture I’ve ever seen.”

Syria

Under the billion-dollar Operation Timber Sycamore, headed by David Petraeus, the CIA trained and supplied Syrian rebel commandos in the familiar manner from bases in Jordan and Turkey.

These commandos killed 11,000 civilians in government-controlled Aleppo in the first four years of the war, carried out suicide bombings, and tortured and beheaded captives.10

In December 2021, The New York Times reported on the existence of a clandestine army unit in Syria which, from 2014 to 2019, launched tens of thousands of bombs and missiles and repeatedly killed civilians in an operation overseen by General Stephen Townsend, who was later appointed to head the U.S. Africa Command.

According to the Times, Townsend’s unit “circumvented rules imposed to protect noncombatants, and [raised] alarm…by killing people who had no role in the conflict: farmers trying to harvest, children in the street, families fleeing fighting, and villagers sheltering in buildings.”

Similar abuses were carried out by anti-Assad Kurdish militias advised and equipped by U.S. military officers commanded by General Christopher Donahue, a “star of the clandestine world of Special Forces,” according to The New York Times, who had “previously hunted terrorist chiefs in the shadow of Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan” and went on to command murderous U.S.-Ukrainian operations in eastern Ukraine and Russia.11

Ukraine

In September 2023, The Economist ran a remarkable story entitled “Ukraine’s Assassination Program: Its Agents Have Become Expert in Dark Revenge,” which spotlighted how the Ukraine Security Service’s (SBU’s) Fifth Directorate and Special Operations Forces (SSO) ran an assassination program across regions of Ukraine occupied or reintegrated into Russia. 12

An unnamed SBU counter-intelligence officer is quoted as saying that it made him uncomfortable that “marginal figures” were being targeted in operations that were designed “to impress the president rather than bring victory any closer.” The same officer noted that Ukraine’s assassination campaign “risked exposing sources and the extent of Ukrainian infiltration into Russia,” adding that “our security services shouldn’t do things just because they can.”

The Economist, predictably, did not mention the CIA, though we know from Vasily Prozorov, a former SBU officer who defected to Russia, that the SBU had been advised by the CIA since 2014, and that CIA employees have come to the SBU’s central office to plot secret operations.

A Ukrainian hit list on the Myrotvorets website advertised itself as a CIA project based in Langley, Virginia, the location of the CIA’s headquarters.

One of the CIA’s most valued assets in Ukraine’s Phoenix-type program, Kyrylo Budanov, personally oversaw countless numbers of adventurist sabotage operations, drone strikes and political assassinations of both Russian military and civilian figures on Russian soil.

The victims included Illia Kyva, the former head of the Socialist Party in Ukraine’s parliament, whom Ukrainian military intelligence took credit for murdering in a Moscow park.

Commanders with the Donetsk People’s Army, civilian officials in towns in eastern Ukraine that voted to rejoin Russia, and journalists who were critical of the Ukrainian government were also targeted in car bombings and other terrorist attacks directed by Ukrainian military intelligence units that fell under Budanov’s command.

According to Andrii Telizhenko, a former Ukrainian diplomat and parliamentary aide now living in Switzerland, the CIA “controls almost everything in Ukraine.

They have agents working under cover as journalists and political advisers, and control a lot of politicians and other prominent people [through financial payoffs]. Further, the CIA directly advises President [Volodymyr] Zelensky. The Americans who are brought to advise him are CIA.”

Dirty Work of Corporations and Empire

CIA whistleblower Philip Agee frequently pointed out that the CIA did not formulate policy, but functioned as the enforcement arm of a plutocratic elite that worked to enhance the power of U.S. multinational corporations around the world through violence or the threat of it.

The death squads created by the CIA discussed in this article were designed either as part of an imperialist strategy of divide and conquer or to root out left-wing or other political groups that threatened unfettered U.S. access to raw materials around the world and the ability of U.S. corporations to plunder at will.

The Ukraine death squads have been specifically developed as part of a policy designed to destabilize and weaken Russia so that it cannot function as a potential geo-political rival to the U.S. and hinder U.S. control over Central Asia’s rich oil and gas resources and the mineral wealth lying underneath the Arctic.

One potential model for today is the 1975/1976 Church Committee hearings into CIA abuses that helped expose the sinister nature of the Phoenix Program in Vietnam.

Social justice advocates should push for an updated congressional investigation into the CIA’s backing of death squads, and for creation of a new political movement to transform U.S foreign policy and abolish the CIA.

The Bolshevik Revolution in the Soviet Union was not a Russian Revolution. Instead, it was primarily led by a non-Russian, Jewish ethnic minority that hated Russians and the Czar for their alleged anti-Semitism.1

This article documents some of the evidence indicating that Jews were the driving force behind Communism and the Bolshevik Revolution.

Jewish Sources

Many Jews and Jewish publications have confirmed the predominately Jewish nature of Communism and the Bolshevik Revolution. For example, according to the Encyclopedia Judaica:

The Communist movement and ideology played an important part in Jewish life, particularly in the 1920s, 1930s, and during and after World War II…Individual Jews played an important role in the early stages of Bolshevism and the Soviet regime…The great attraction of Communism among Russian, and later also Western, Jewry emerged only with the establishment of the Soviet regime in Russia…Communist trends became widespread in virtually all Jewish communities.2

Leon Trotsky’s book Stalin, written in exile, attempted to show that Stalin had played only an insignificant role in the early days of the Communist takeover. To illustrate his point, Trotsky reproduced a postcard depicting the six leaders of the revolution. These leaders were:

• Vladimir Lenin (who was at least one-quarter Jewish, spoke Yiddish in his home, and was married to a Jewess)

• Trotsky (real Jewish name: Lev Bronstein)

• Zinoviev (real Jewish name: Hirsch Apfelbaum)

• Lunacharsky (a Gentile)

• Kamenov (real Jewish name: Rosenfeld)

• Sverdlov (Jewish)

Thus, according to Trotsky, five of the six leaders of the Communist takeover of the Soviet Union were Jewish.3

Israeli historian Louis Rapoport, in his book Stalin’s War Against the Jews, wrote:

Immediately after the Revolution, many Jews were euphoric over their high representation in the new government. Lenin’s first Politburo was dominated by men of Jewish origins…Under Lenin, Jews became involved in all aspects of the Revolution, including its dirtiest work. Despite the Communists’ vows to eradicate anti-Semitism, it spread rapidly after the Revolution—partly because of the prominence of so many Jews in the Soviet administration, as well as in the traumatic, inhuman Sovietization drives that followed. Historian Salo Baron has noted that an immensely disproportionate number of Jews joined the new Bolshevik police, the Cheka, “perhaps in subconscious retaliation for the many years of suffering at the hands of the Russian police.” And many of those who fell afoul of the Cheka would be shot by Jewish investigators.4

Jewish historian Dr. Angelo Solomon Rappoport wrote:

“The Jews in Russia, in their total mass, were responsible for the Revolution.”5

A number of Jewish publications, such as The Jewish Chronicle, have also disclosed Vladimir Lenin’s Jewish heritage.6

The Jewish magazine The American Hebrew in 1920 stated that the Bolshevik revolution in Russia was the work of Jewish brains and planning.

It wrote:

“The Bolshevik movement is neither polite nor tolerant; in its initial phase it was purely destructive…What Jewish idealism and Jewish discontent have so powerfully contributed to accomplish in Russia, the same historic qualities of the Jewish mind and heart are tending to promote in other countries.”7

The predominately Jewish nature of the Bolshevik Revolution was confirmed by the Jew, M. Cohen, on April 12, 1919 in The Communist Charkov.

Cohen stated:

“Without exaggeration, it may be said that the great Russian Revolution was indeed accomplished by the hands of the Jews.”8

American Military Intelligence

Many officers in the Military Intelligence Division (MID) of the U.S. Army reported that most Bolsheviki leaders were Jews. MID’s New York office reported “that there is now definite evidence that Bolshevism is an international movement controlled by Jews.”

In Bern, an American agent reported that 90% of those attending secret Bolshevik meetings were Jews.

The British Government also obtained evidence that the Bolshevik movement throughout the world is an international conspiracy of Jews. The official MID viewpoint was that “Jewish intellectuals have had the leading and commanding part everywhere,” and because of “the growing power of the Jews,” they practically controlled the Soviet government.9

International Jewish intrigues began to surface within MID during the summer of 1918. An agent linked the Joint Distribution Committee of Jewish War Relief, the Federal Reserve Board, New York Jewish bankers, and the American Jewish Committee with Jewish financiers and centers of propaganda and spying in Germany.

The agent also said that the Jewish Bolsheviks who had seized control of Russia now conspired to overthrow other governments. Almost all of the top leaders in the Soviet government were identified as being Jews.10

U.S. Gen. Amos A. Fries told MID’s chief in 1926 that Polish officers believed that Jewish leaders, most disguised behind Russian names, really controlled the Soviet Union. Fries wrote: “Of the Russian Congress some 70% were Jews and the remaining 30% were largely figure-heads…real power…was entirely in the hands of the Jews who were in it…for what they could get out of it, and very few members…really believe in the doctrines which they preach.”11

Gen. Fries and Eli A. Helmick, inspector general of the army (1919-1927), viewed Bolshevism as the continuation of an international conspiracy that originated with the Illuminati in the 18^th century.

They told audiences that the Illuminati incited the great French Revolution of 1789 and “were the influence which led to the bloodshed during the reign of terror.”

The Communist International of Lenin and Trotsky was the modern form of this conspiracy, from which more bloody destruction could be expected.12

MID argued that both Jewish Bolsheviks and Jews in general in the Soviet Union profited at the expense of real Russians.

Jews monopolized the privileged government offices and easy “graft jobs,” while confiscating the old regime’s most valuable riches and smuggling them out of the country.

Jews encouraged bribery and were behind “all speculation in foodstuffs.” Despite the revolutionary zeal with which Jews dispatched the Red Army against enemies, one MID informant complained that he never saw a Jew anywhere close to the front.13

Col. William Godson, one of the American Army’s most valued intelligence officers, wrote from Poland:

“The connection between the Jews and the Bolsheviki at Vilna seems to be proven without a shadow of a doubt. When the Bolsheviki entered the city, they were taken to the houses of the wealthy by the Jews and apparently had this matter arranged beforehand.”

Godson wrote two years later:

“I am so thoroughly convinced of the reality of a Jewish movement to dominate the world that I hate to leave a stone unturned.”14

Other American Sources

David R. Francis, the American Ambassador to Russia at the time of the Russian Revolution, sent a cable to the U.S. government in January 1918:

“The Bolshevik leaders here, most of whom are Jews and 90% of whom are returned exiles, care little for Russia or any other country but are internationalists and they are trying to start a worldwide social revolution.”15

Capt. Montgomery Schuyler, an American army intelligence officer in Russia during the Russian Revolution, wrote in an official report:

“It is probably unwise to say this loudly in the United States, but the Bolshevik movement is and has been since its beginning, guided and controlled by Russian Jews of the greasiest types…”16

Schuyler returned to the United States in early 1920. In a speech at the Church of St. John the Evangelist in New York, Schuyler stated:

The government of Russia is almost entirely Jewish, and our United States Army in Siberia was full of Bolshevist Jews straight from Moscow. They had entered the United States and enlisted in the U.S. Army going to Siberia. Gen. Graves, the commander, had a staff that was almost entirely Jewish…Owing to the Bolshevist Jews in our army, all information that should have reached Kolchak went straight to Moscow.17

U.S. Congressman Louis McFadden documented the Jewish control of Soviet communism. In a speech to Congress on June 15, 1934, McFadden said that the Soviet government in 1917 was composed of 565 persons as follows:

32 Russians, two Poles, one Czech, 34 Letts, three Finns, 10 Armenians, three Georgians, one Hungarian, 10 Germans and 469 Jews.

McFadden said that the Jews in the Russian government did not represent the thoughts and ideals of the 150 million Russian citizens. Instead, he described Jews in the Soviet government as aliens and usurpers who were not concerned with the welfare of the Russian people.18

Under Lenin’s and Trotsky’s leadership, a small number of highly-trained Jews from abroad, along with Russian Jews and non-Jewish followers of Marxist ideology, were able to make themselves masters of Russia. The Jewish control of the Communist movement was well understood in Russia.19

Henry Ford, the revolutionary automaker, knew that Jews were behind the Bolshevik Revolution. Ford wrote:

Russian Bolshevism came out of the East Side of New York where it was fostered by the encouragement—the religious, moral and financial encouragement—of Jewish leaders.

Leon Trotsky (Bronstein) was an East Sider. The forces which fostered what he stood for centered in the Kehillah and the American Jewish Committee. Both were interested in the work he set out to do—the overthrow of an established government, one of the allies of the United States in World War One. Russian Bolshevism was helped to its objective by Jewish gold from the United States—and by the ignorance and indolence of the Gentile citizens of the United States whose crimes of omission are almost as grave as those of Bolshevik commission.20

American historian Dr. Matthew Raphael Johnson writes that the USSR was largely Jewish, based far more on Jewish ethnic identity than Marxism. Josef Stalin continued this trend and backed Jewish ethnic interests indirectly throughout his entire life. Jews remained in control of the Stalinist system even through the purges.

Dr. Johnson also writes that Stalin had three wives, all of them Jews, and that Vyacheslav Molotov was married to a Jew.21

Ernest Elmhurst confirmed the predominately Jewish nature of the Bolshevik Revolution. He wrote:

During 1920, the Council of Commissaries consisted of 20 members, of which 17 were Jews and only three Russians. The Commissariat of War then consisted of 43 members, of which 34 were Jews. In the Commissariat for Foreign Affairs, out of 17 members 14 were Jews, while in the Commissariat of the Provinces, 21 out of 23 were of the same race, as were 45 out of the 55 members of the Commissariat of the Interior.

In the Department of the “Fourth Estate,” the Press, out of 42 members 41 were Jewish, the only exception being the “shabes goy”—Gentile front—Maxim Gorky.22

Other Sources

British Intelligence reports stated that Jews controlled the Communist revolution in the Soviet Union. The first sentence in a lengthy British Intelligence report dated July 16, 1919, stated:

“There is now definite evidence that Bolshevism is an international movement controlled by Jews.”23

Winston Churchill, in an article appearing in the Illustrated Sunday Herald on February 8, 1920, wrote:

“There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creation of Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian Revolution by these international and for the most part atheistical Jews….”

Churchill described Communism as a “sinister confederacy” of “International Jews” who “have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their heads and have become practically the undisputed masters of that enormous empire.”

Churchill said of Communism:

It is not only a creed; it is a plan of campaign. A Communist is not only the holder of certain opinions, he is the pledge adept of a well-thought-out means of enforcing them. The anatomy of discontent and revolution has been studied in every phase and aspect, and a veritable drill book prepared in a scientific spirit of sabotaging all existing institutions. No faith need be kept with non-Communists. Every act of goodwill, or tolerance or conciliation or mercy or magnanimity on the part of governments or statesmen is to be utilized for their ruin. Then, when the time is ripe and the moment opportune, every form of lethal violence, from revolt to private assassination, must be used without stint or compunction. The citadel will be stormed under the banners of liberty and democracy, and once the apparatus of power is in the hands of the Brotherhood, all opposition, all contrary opinions must be extinguished by death. Democracy is but a tool to be used and afterwards broken.24

Jews dominated the Communist secret police, which underwent many name changes, including Cheka, OGPU, GPU, NKVD, NKGB, MGB, and KGB. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, in his book Gulag Archipelago, lists the leading administrators of the Communist secret police: Aron Solts, Yakov Rappoport, Lazar Kogan, Matvei Berman, Genrikh Yagoda, and Naftaly Frenkel.

All six are Jews.25

In fact, every head of the secret police under Josef Stalin was a Jew.26

Moisei Solomonovich Uritzky, a Jew, was also the Cheka’s first chief.27

According to a statement made by researcher Michael Mills, an official of the government of Australia at Canberra:

“It is legitimate to adopt a critical attitude toward the relatively large number of Jews who, particularly in the first decade after the Bolshevik revolution, collaborated with the Soviet Government in the persecution of other peoples.”28

British author Nesta Webster said that Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky were instrumental in the success of the Bolshevik Revolution. She wrote about Lenin’s sealed train, which traveled from Switzerland to the Russian border:

“Out of a list of 165 names published, 23 are Russian, three Georgian, four Armenian, one German, and 128 Jewish.”29

Webster also wrote:

“At about the same time, Trotsky arrived from the United States, followed by over 300 Jews from the East End of New York and joined up with the Bolshevik Party.”30

Dr. Joseph Goebbels stated in a speech at Nuremberg on September 10, 1936:

What is called Bolshevism has nothing whatsoever to do with what we understand by “ideas” and an “outlook on life” (Weltanschauung) in general. It is nothing but a pathological and criminal kind of madness, devised by Jews, as can well be proved, and led by Jews who aim at destroying the civilized nations of Europe and at founding a Jewish-international world regime that would subject all nations to their power…

Lenin, the Father of the Bolshevist Revolution, stated frankly that falsehoods are not only justified but have proved to be the most effective tools in Bolshevist struggle.31

Conclusion

Communism and the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia have clearly been led by a Jewish ethnic minority. When chess genius Bobby Fischer was asked at a press conference in 1992 about his views on Communism, Fisher said:

“Soviet Communism is basically a mask for Bolshevism which is a mask for Judaism.”32

Fischer correctly understood the overwhelming Jewish involvement in Communism and the Bolshevik Revolution.

If you haven’t read the first installment in my World War Two series you can do so here:

Have you ever stopped and wondered why the most powerful insult in America is comparing someone to Adolf Hitler?

It doesn’t matter whether the argument is about war, immigration, free speech, foreign policy, vaccines, or elections. Sooner or later somebody throws out the same line.

“You’re literally Hitler.”
“Trump is literally Hitler.”
“That dude’s a Nazi.”

It’s always Hitler. Always Nazis.

Americans have a visceral reaction to that name unlike almost anything else in modern history. For generations, Adolf Hitler has represented the ultimate symbol of evil, the final boss of human wickedness, the man against whom all other villains are measured. In the American mind, there is no greater historical monster.

Step aside satan, we’ve got Adolf Hitler now.

And because Hitler sits at the center of how Americans are taught to understand World War II, you would assume the average American knows a tremendous amount about the history surrounding that war.

But then you start digging into the history and realize most Americans actually know almost nothing about it.

In fact, the more you dig, the more you find out that the truth is almost always the exact opposite of what we were told.

For example, how many Americans would say Adolf Hitler was the worst mass murderer of the 20th century?

Probably a lot. I certainly used to believe that too. The problem is that it’s not true.

Just one example: Joseph Stalin was FAR MORE DEADLY.

Yet, for some reason, the U.S. allied with Stalin during the war, while he was actively killing millions of Christians in his Gulags, which were created and managed by Jews. Fast forward to today and Russia is purported to be our greatest enemy, and the Jewish state of Israel is supposedly, our greatest ally.

Huh. That’s strange.

Now let’s take it a step further: how many Americans do you think are aware that after WWII, the allies ethnically cleansed 12 million German civilians?

Please watch this short clip of a man describing what he witnessed in 1945 AFTER the war had already ended:

“I can say that what happened here in 1945 is no different at all to the Third Reich. The moral of these people who did this, they were the same.”

This content is information the American ruling elite do NOT want you to have access to. If you appreciate work like this, and want more of it, please consider becoming a paid subscriber.

So…they expect you to believe that Adolf Hitler was a madman who was ethnically cleansing Jews and that’s why we he had to be stopped at all costs. Yet after the war, the “good guys” turned around and did the EXACT THING that Hitler was accused of?

Not to mention, everybody likes to talk about the supposed “concentration camps” that Hitler housed the “Jews” in. Yet they conveniently leave out that the Allies literally transferred the Germans to these same exact camps before we mass murdered them.

Since I’m already well on my way to being “cancelled” for daring to revisit the topic of WWII, I figure why stop here?

Let’s Talk About Salomon Morel

Morel was Jewish and he was born in Poland. In March of 1995 he was appointed commandant of the Zgoda labour camp where he proceeded to stand on a table and make a speech to the “prisoners” who were actually just German civilians. These people were guilty of absolutely nothing.

"My name is Morel. I am a Jew. My mother and father, my brothers, they're all dead, and I swore that if I survived the war, I'd pay you Germans back. And you're going to pay for it now."

The prisoners he addressed were not Nazi SS guards or military officers, but primarily German civilians, including elderly people, women, and children.

Following this malevolent introduction, Morel instituted a regime of severe brutality. The Germans were systematically starved, subjected to lethal beatings, and forced to endure horrific conditions that allowed a typhus epidemic to sweep through the camp.

His actions and commands led to the deaths of roughly 1,500 to 1,700 people in less than a year.

Take a listen to this short clip from survivors of the Zgoda labour camp:

All of that took place under Morel’s command. He was an extremely sick and demented individual.

Now1 you’d think that the so-called “allies” and “good guys” who won the war wouldn’t let this stand. After all, isn’t this what they were supposed to be fighting against?

Well, in 1996, Morel was formally indicted and charged with genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and communist crimes because he was a literal commie.

In 1998, Poland formally charged him and requested his extradition so he could stand trial for these crimes.

But he had already fled to Israel and they refused - twice - to comply with this extradition request.

He lived in Tel Aviv until his death in 2007.

The General Who Called Out The Hypocrisy

General Patton was an extremely decorated U.S. General who led the Third Army both in France and in Germany. Post-war, they appointed General Patton as the military governor in Bavaria, where he led “denazification” efforts.

But then we’re told that as he was leading these efforts he became increasingly “erratic.”

PBS stated in April of 1945 that he was removed by Eisenhower for making inflammatory remarks about the denazification policies. I wonder what policies he could have been referring to?

“We may have been fighting the wrong enemy all along. But while we’re here, we should go after the bastards now, ‘cause we’re gonna have to fight ‘em eventually.”

- General George Patton

Now, you might be thinking, well Maddie sure, this is all completely horrific but maybe it was just a one time thing. A few bad apples.

And you’d be wrong.

We did this same exact thing to American citizens following Pearl Harbor.

Our government forcibly relocated and incarcerated about 120,000 Japanese Americans in ten concentration camps in the United States. And we made them stay there until the war ended.

Some of these people were’n’t even Japanese. They just looked Japanese.

So now that we can all agree that the “good guys” committed a genocide and ethnic cleansing of their own and were guilty of the exact same crimes as the Nazis, maybe you’re thinking well surely the Nazis were worse because they experimented on their own people!

This was embedded into our minds, “the Nazis experimented on innocent people.”

Besides the fact that some of these stories sound completely absurd, such as they apparently cut a human up and then sewed them back together. I mean, why would anyone do that? Even if you’re the most evil, sadistic person in the world, that sounds like a tremendous waste of time and resources.

…just slice a person in half and then sew them back together.
Sounds like propaganda to me. You know, just like when Hamas was accused of putting “babies in ovens.” It’s almost like there’s a patten here…

But for arguments sake, let’s just roll with it and say that it happened.

If the Nazis were this insane, this sick and twisted, why on God’s green earth did we BRING THEM ALL TO AMERICA?

During Operation Paperclip we took all of those top Nazi scientists, doctors, technicians and engineers and smuggled them into NASA, the CIA and the military, where some of them such as Wernher von Braun went on to make a name for themselves.

Yet they want us to believe that the Nazis were the enemy? If that was the case, these people would’ve been thrown into a black hole, not smuggled to the United States and embedded into our society.

Not to mention, let’s not pretend like we’re again, not guilty of these exact same crimes. Experimentation is not unique to the Nazis. The CIA has been experimenting on humans since it was created. If you’re on my Substack you’ve probably heard of MK Ultra.

Have you ever wondered what the “MK” of MK Ultra stands for?

MIND KONTROLLE (German spelling of control).

Ya know, for a little nod to the German Nazi scientists who developed the program for the CIA under Operation Paperclip.

And this also was not a one time thing. Under President LBJ we also ran Operation Phoenix.

“In 1968, CIA scientists at the Bien Hoa prison outside Saigon, surgically opened the skulls of three prisoners, implanted electrodes on their brains, gave them daggers and left them alone in a room. They wanted to shock the prisoners into killing one another but when the efforts failed, the prisoners were shot and their bodies were burned.”

Yet another operation where we were mass killing civilians, which we do a lot.
We literally dropped firebombs on praying Christians in a church in Dresden.
And don’t even get me started on the Holocaust WE committed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

But it’s different when we do it right, because we’re not “literally Hitler!”

But don’t you dare bring any of this up or you’ll get decimated by the propagandists in the West.

Because the crime is not actually dropping the bombs.
No, the crime is KNOWING about the bombs that were dropped.

It's apparently not a crime to mass murder civilians.
But it is a crime to remind people how often we do it.

In Conclusion

History, news stories and Hollywood are constantly being revamped to match the government’s current propaganda pushes. “Truth” and “history” have become whatever the elites believe best serves their agenda.

Controlling the past helps them control the present, so they are constantly rewriting history.

And if you pay attention, there are topics that are entirely off limits to the mainstream and even “independent” media. For example, they will never revisit WWII and examine if what we learned in school is really how it all went down.

They never discuss the Bolshevik Revolution where 60 million Christians were killed by a government that was over 80% Jewish and how a large majority of these Jewish-Bolsheviks came to America and have been in positions of power ever since.

They certainly would never look into who actually financed the Third Reich, or if Hitler really died in that bunker in Berlin.

These topics are entirely off limits because according to the mainstream media, the only bad people in the world are Hitler, Putin and Kim Jong Un.

This is what the elites need you to believe.

As John Swinton, the Chief of Staff at the New York Times said:

”There is no such thing in America as an “independent press.” You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print.

I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with.

Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job.

If I allowed honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone.

The business of journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread.

You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press?

We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men.

We are intellectual prostitutes.”

Since the mainstream and “independent” media won’t examine the real history of this world, I will.

Because many of the answers that Americans are seeking lie behind the doors of these topics.

They can call me an antisemite. They can compare me to Hitler. I honestly do not care. It’s simply a scare tactic to prevent people from investigating any further. But all that does is make me even more curious.

And if you want to know who really behaves like “literally Hitler,” it’s certainly not me. It’s your own government. And I’ll prove it.

I truly believe this series can wake up a lot of people as to what’s going on in this world, so I want to touch on as much as I can.

What topic opened your eyes about the truth of WWII? Let me know in the comments.

If you have any questions or if there’s something you want me to investigate throughout this series, please let me know below.

Daniel Siad, a “recruiter” for Jeffrey Epstein, has been found dead. He was sixty-nine years old. His body was discovered by his 28-year-old female roommate, which is strange in and of itself.

Authorities are claiming that he died of cardiac arrest.

Personally, I don’t buy it. Let me give you a quick backstory on who Siad was and the current investigation into him, and let’s see if you similarly do not buy the slop the feds are trying to sell us.

Epstein’s Personal Recruiter

Last month I reported that in the late summer of 2015, a young German woman disappeared without a trace. The police did not actively search for her. 11 years later, clues began to be uncovered, due to her name being in the Epstein files.

Her name was Michele and she was only 22 years old at the time of her disappearance.

I wrote an entire piece about this which you can read here, but the long and the short of it is that a “recruiter” for Epstein apparently tried to arrange a meeting between Epstein and Michele. Rather, this “recruiter” probably tried to traffic her to Epstein.

This “recruiter” sent Epstein photos of Michele in 2014.
Additionally, he asked for a plane ticket and added: “You will love her.”
He said she was “very cool.”

In September 2015, Michele left her mother’s apartment with just a suitcase. After that, all traces of her were lost. Where she went remains unclear to this day.

This “recruiter” was Daniel Siad, whom she had been in contact with since 2012.

“He said he worked as a model scout and was always looking for pretty girls,” Michele’s mother explained. Her daughter absolutely wanted to start a career as a model.

Daniel, who appears more than 1800 times in the Epstein files, was under investigation in France in several cases on suspicion of human trafficking and rape.

Daniel exchanged numerous emails and communications with Jean-Luc Brunel and forwarded modeling profiles and travel arrangements involving young women to Epstein.

An email in the Epstein files also shows that Jean-Luc Brunel told investigators that Daniel Siad was involved in human trafficking for Epstein.

If you appreciate the endless hours I’ve dedicated to reading and reporting on the Epstein files, and you want more of it, please consider becoming a paid subscriber.

In case you’re not familiar, Jean-Luc Brunel was also Epstein’s “recruiter” in Europe. He founded MC2 Model Management with financial backing from Epstein. From 1998 to 2005, Brunel traveled on Epstein’s private plane 25 times. Most of MC2’s offices have been closed down, but a branch in Tel Aviv is still operational.

In 2019, Brunel sold off some of the MC2 assets to help create The Identity Models in New York City and 1Mother Agency in Kyiv, Ukraine.

After Epstein was convicted of sex offenses in 2008, Brunel visited him in jail at least 70 times during the 13 months he served.

Following Epstein’s “death” in 2019, Brunel went into hiding. He was arrested in December 2020 and was charged with sexual harassment and the rape of minors.

Before his trial could proceed, Brunel died by “suicide” in his prison cell.

This Makes It Even MORE Suspicious

Daniel Siad wasn’t only being investigated for his ties to Epstein. Just last week, a group of six victims filed a case against Gérald Marie — a longtime modeling industry executive and notorious predator — for rape and sex trafficking.

And that argument had direct ties to Daniel Siad…who is now dead.

Daniel Siad was a “recruiter” for both Jeffrey Epstein AND Gérald Marie. Siad traveled all over the globe to find teenage girls that he then recruited and delivered to both predators.

One victim of Epstein named “Anya” told the BBC that Siad had introduced her to Epstein. “It was a complete set-up,” she said. “[Siad] was essentially a professional trafficker.” Siad sent photos and detailed descriptions of young women to Epstein, who one time advised Siad that the girl was “too old.” Luring them in under the guise of casting to find models, Siad facilitated the connection and introduction to Epstein.

In other words, Siad was paid handsomely by Epstein to travel the world, hunting for prey.

Back To The Elite Pedo Ring Clean Up Operation

Remember Shoshana Strook? The daughter of Netanyahu’s cabinet minister? She revealed that as a child of a powerful Israeli political family, she was trafficked through a network of elite abusers protected by money, influence, and power.

Days after revealing that Epstein is still alive and living in Israel, she was found dead.

Allegedly, Daniel Siad was planning to expose it all, similar to Shoshana Strook.

But I’m sure this is all just a coincidence.

We need to start keeping track of all the suspicious deaths that happen around Epstein. Who believes it’s going to outpace the deaths around the Clintons?

Oh, by the way, I am not having any suicidal ideations.

And I want to start this op-ed with a disclaimer, because in today’s environment people either want you to speak with religious certainty or they want you to shut up, and I reject both of those demands; I’m going to be careful with my words, I’m going to raise controversial ideas, and I’m going to tell you openly that some of what I’m about to say is speculation, not because I want to hide behind a hedge, but because anyone who speaks about these networks honestly has to admit where the evidence ends and where interpretation begins.

For years, you’ve heard people say “we’re ruled by satanic cults,” and I have always been skeptical of that framing, not because I think the world is morally pure, but because I don’t accept extreme claims without proof.

However, what I have always said—long before these documents—is that the people who dictate foreign policy, who start wars, who impose starvation sanctions, who can look at the suffering of millions and call it “strategy,” must have a certain psychological profile, because normal human beings do not casually destroy entire societies and then sleep well at night.

And if you think that’s an exaggeration, just look at the way sanctions operate as a weapon. In the United States, most people have food on the table, and yes, there is poverty and injustice in America, but you have families outside America that cannot afford bread for their children, cannot afford milk for a newborn baby, and the Western public is trained to believe this is always the result of local corruption or local mismanagement, but we both know that U.S.-led unilateral coercive measures —illegal economic sanctions— are employed as a tool of war, and they are designed to break societies until they submit.

Syria is the clearest example because the record is not even disputed: after Donald Trump’s sanctions—especially the Caesar Act—Syrians were pushed under the poverty line on a mass scale, and we are talking about millions of people living inside the country who watched their currency collapse, their purchasing power evaporate, and their society suffocate economically even after the major battles quieted down.

Now, here is where the Epstein emails begin to change the way you perceive the world, because for years we assumed that the people making these decisions were the visible institutions: the White House, Congress, the Senate, the Department of Defense, the Department of Justice, the intelligence agencies; we assumed those were the rooms where policy is made, and maybe they are—partly—but what these leaks invite you to consider is that even those institutions may not be the top of the pyramid, that beyond presidents, beyond politicians, beyond the faces you see on television, there might be stronger forces that finance, incentivize, and guide the decisions, and that the visible leaders are sometimes executors rather than masters.

Because once you start reading about the relationships around Epstein—who he met, who he advised, who he had access to, who he was bragging about representing—you begin to see something like a web, a connected network of money, ideology, and bureaucracy, where the same names show up across finance, tech, academia, and politics, and you begin to suspect that what we call democracy might be more like a stage.

A circus of competing politicians who look like leaders but function, in reality, as employees of a system they do not control.

I say this not to sound melodramatic, but because the implication is deeply unsettling: if power is operating through networks we cannot see directly, then what is the meaning of elections, parliaments, campaign promises, televised debates, and moral posturing?

Are we truly choosing our future, or are we being offered a menu where the real chef remains hidden, and our only role is to select which dish will be served to us this season?

This is where the names that appear around Epstein start becoming more than gossip. The point is not to worship or demonize a single family or a single dynasty, and I want to be clear here because the internet loves turning analysis into tribal targeting; the point is to understand that banking dynasties, military-industrial interests, and elite tech projects are not separate universes, they are often intertwined, and when you see Epstein telling people that he represents major banking interests, and when you see the proximity between Silicon Valley billionaires and networks like his, you start thinking that many of the “visionary” projects sold to the public—transhumanism, brain chips, AI governance, digital currency systems—might not be grassroots innovations at all, but top-down projects in search of total control over the human environment.

And when you think about it this way, you begin to question the entire hierarchy of power. Maybe parliaments are not the first level of decision-making, but the fourth or fifth. Maybe prime ministers and presidents are not sovereign leaders but third-level managers, tasked with selling policy to the public. Maybe the Musk and Thiel class—those who run platforms, build AI systems, push neural technologies—are not the top either, but executive directors implementing projects designed elsewhere, for interests larger than their own.

And then you arrive at the most dangerous question of all, the question nobody wants citizens to ask too loudly…

If the real power lies above the democratic stage, in darkness, in networks that can feed money, push ideas, and mobilize bureaucracy to implement them, then do we really live in democracies, or do we live inside managed democracies where freedom is mostly a feeling, and choice is mostly a performance?

This is where the modern agenda begins to look less like progress and more like a trap. Digital IDs. Central bank digital currencies. A future of permanent verification. A future where every transaction, movement, and social interaction can be registered, controlled, and possibly punished. Even public health itself, something that should belong to medicine and care, becomes a domain of discipline and enforcement, where you are told that you must comply not because the science is settled but because the system has decided that dissent is intolerable.

And people will ask: Do we have a choice? Are we truly able to say “no” if these systems are being built regardless of what voters think? Because if these projects can be imposed even against public skepticism, then democracy becomes a branding exercise rather than a governing reality.

What has changed for me since this recent Epstein drop is not that I suddenly discovered evil exists, or that powerful people lie; what changed is that the veil feels thinner, and the hierarchy feels clearer, and the idea that politicians are “leaders” feels harder to maintain. When someone like Tony Blair—who played an instrumental role in invading Iraq—comes back years later and tries to sell the public the need for digital IDs, I see him as an employee, a middle manager, implementing the projects of superiors whose names we rarely see on the screen.

And perhaps this is the real geopolitical significance of the Epstein emails, beyond the depravity, beyond the scandal, beyond the sensationalism: they force you to confront the possibility that the world is governed by networks, and that those networks are more durable than governments, more influential than elections, and more insulated than any official institution will ever admit.

I am not asking you to accept a single grand theory. I am asking you to notice the pattern, and to ask yourself whether the pattern explains why the world feels increasingly unfree, increasingly managed, increasingly engineered, even as we are told, with straight faces, that we live in the most democratic era of human history.

If this is where we are headed—toward a future of digital control layered on top of economic exhaustion and manufactured crises—then the only serious question left is not “who will win the next election,” but whether ordinary people can recover enough clarity, unity, and courage to reclaim a political life that is not scripted from above.

Because if we are reduced to permanent reaction—always reacting to the next war, the next crisis, the next manufactured panic—then we are not citizens. We are subjects.

And maybe that is the most mind-boggling part of all: that the Epstein story, which began as a sordid scandal, ends by forcing us to ask whether the civilization we live in is still what it claims to be.

An email between Ariane De Rothschild and Jeffrey Epstein claims that, when Hitler was destitute in Vienna, he lived in a shelter that was funded by the Rothschilds and the Epsteins.

Pure speculation, it seems there may have been a sexual relationship between these two.

I’m not at all surprised that Hitler was holed up in a shelter funded by these families because it’s a not-so-well known fact, and a quite unpopular one in certain circles, that Hitler was funded by the West.

There’s also always been a collaboration between “Nazis” and Zionists.
I’m currently working on a WWII series so more on that in future articles.

I also came across another email between Ariane De Rothschild and Jeffrey Epstein discussing Ukraine.

Note the date: March 18, 2014.
The U.S.-backed Maidan coup occurred around February 20, 2014.

Considering that Ukraine is the money laundering and child sex trafficking capital of the world, I suspect that the "opportunities” Epstein was referring to are the trafficking of Ukrainian children for their satanic parties and rituals.

By 2015, more than 1.3 million Ukrainians were displaced, creating a much larger population vulnerable to human traffickers.

The “Holocaust” is, without question, one of the most lied about events in human history and forms a central lynchpin of the Jewish supremacist lobby’s stranglehold over Western society. When the Holocaust is closely studied and analyzed, it collapses under its own weight of half-truths, misrepresentations and outright lies.

Not even counting the large absurdities (such as “mass underground gas chambers”), the more outrageous claims include, significantly, numerous claims of Jewish babies being massacred in the most horrendous ways.

While it is easy to debunk these outrageous claims, it is more troubling to consider the psychology and mindset behind them. Who, in their right mind, would even think up such a story, and then, in direct contradiction to all verifiable facts, still continue to claim that it is true, to the point of getting dissenting views criminalized?

The events of October 7, 2023, have served as a present-day example of this Holocaust mindset. The pattern of disinformation and distortions have followed the exact same playbook and have also been unquestioningly repeated by the controlled legacy media.

CONTEXT TO OCTOBER 7

The background to the attack on Israel by Hamas militants on October 7 is, briefly put, as follows: The inhabitants of Gaza are all refugees from their homes which originally stood inside the territory of Palestine, and which is now Israel.

The Zionists physically drove the Palestinians out of their houses, towns, and villages, through blanket terrorism, violence and several wars. Each time, the Zionists were able to win those wars through superior military technology, acquired from European nations whose corridors of political power have been thoroughly occupied by their respective Jewish lobbies.

At the same time, Israel placed the Gazans under strict military control, determining how much food they could get, what medical services they were allowed, how much electricity they could have, and also controlling access to the 140-square-mile strip of land into which nearly 2 million Palestinians had been crammed.

The borders of Gaza were then surrounded by a huge wall, effectively making it an open-air prison camp.

Finally, even the faintest indication of resistance was (and is) met with a brutal, violent, and deliberately murderous response.

The number of white phosphorus bomb attacks on Gaza civilians, the indiscriminate shootings of Palestinian children (even on the beaches) and the wholesale detention without trial and torture of thousands of Gaza Palestinians, has served to ferment a climate of hostility and anger from the Palestinian side.

The total number of Palestinians killed by Zionist forces since 1948 is hotly disputed. Nonetheless, even the most conservative estimates are around 100,000—if not many more, but certainly no fewer.

It should therefore come as no surprise that the Palestinians are always on the lookout to take revenge in any way they can. They are, however, woefully under-armed and, against the superior Western-provided technology in the hands of the Israelis, have little or no chance of ever winning a conventional conflict. This is why they have resorted to suicide bombings and knife attacks.

Even these feeble acts of resistance have, however, always been met with devastating responses and further wholesale massacres by overwhelming Israeli firepower. Detentions continued unabated and, by late 2023, at least 10,000 Gazans were being held without trial in Israeli prisons.

THE OCTOBER 7 ATTACK AND OBJECTIVES

This was why the events of October 7, 2023 were of such significance for the Palestinian cause. In an elaborate system of tunnels under the nose of the Israeli prison wall guards, the Gazans set to work.

Underground, they amassed a handful of one-man-seated, lawnmower engine-powered gliders, a few hundred motorcycles and dozens of pickup trucks. On the chosen day, bulldozers were used to break holes in the Gaza prison walls and several thousand lightly armed Hamas fighters stormed into the border areas.

The Hamas fighters were not seeking a full-scale invasion of Israel. They knew their numbers were too few, and their arms too light. Instead, they sought to abduct Israelis and take them back into Gaza as hostages.

There, the plan was to exchange the abducted Israelis for the thousands of detained Palestinians within Israel.

There had been a number of precedents behind this strategy, the most prominent of which was the 2011 exchange between Hamas and Israel of the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) soldier Gilad Shalit. The single IDF man had been swopped for 1,027 Palestinians.

The nature of the October 7 “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation and the swiftness with which it was carried out serve as proof that the Hamas militants were lightly armed with AK-47s and rocket-propelled grenade launchers at best. They carried no heavy artillery pieces or other significantly large caliber weapons. Mobility was the key, and the plan was to storm the border, seize hostages, and flee back into the confines of Gaza.

All of the images of Hamas militants captured by Israeli CCTV show them to be armed very lightly, and none carrying the sort of heavy caliber weapon which could cause the sort of damage and fires evident in the pictures of the burned out vehicles and houses which were blamed on them by the Israelis.

That damage was clearly caused when Israeli forces fired blindly into their own territory, as many Israeli news sources freely admitted. These admissions were never widely publicized in the West’s controlled media.

The attack was preceded by a Qassam rocket barrage from Gaza into Israel. The Qassam missiles are homemade, unguided rockets, which are notoriously easy to shoot down and have never yet posed any major threat or inflicted serious damage on Israel.

At 7:40 a.m., the Hamas fighters stormed the border. As much of the video footage of the attack showed, the Hamas fighters were in no mood to “play fair” with their mission. Numerous Israelis were killed in cold blood in the attack, civilians and soldiers alike, armed and unarmed. Decades of hatred engendered by endless Zionist violence spilled over and blood ran in the sand.

At least 250 Israelis were taken hostage in the attack, many from a sex-, drug- and alcohol-fueled “Nova rave party” taking place near the Gaza prison walls.

BEHEADED BABIES IN OVENS

As the dust settled, the Zionist propaganda machine swung into action, as if on auto-cue. Within hours, news outlets around the globe were citing a report by Israeli news channel i24News, which published a YouTube livestream titled “Beheaded Babies and Women Found in Kfar Aza,” featuring U.S. correspondent and Colorado native Nicole Zedeck.1

In the video, Zedeck walked through an area with body bags and, at one point, stated, “One of the commanders here said at least 40 babies were killed—some of them … their heads cut off.”2

U.S. President Joe Biden was among those who repeated the claim that “terrorists [were] beheading children,” while speaking at a meeting of Jewish leaders at the White House.

Meanwhile, mainstream news outlets, from Metro News in the UK to Sky News Australia, also reported on the alleged atrocity, with Fox News, in an October 10 headline, claiming, “At least 40 babies, some beheaded, found by Israel soldiers in Hamas attacked village.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s spokesperson Tal Heinrich stated to media that babies and toddlers had been found with their “heads decapitated” in Kfar Aza.3

The “beheaded babies” story was quickly followed with an even more dramatic report from Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) journalist Benjamin Sales quoting first responder Asher Moskowitz that a Jewish baby had been burned alive in an oven by Hamas fighters on October 7.

This Holocaustian claim was once again loudly proclaimed around the world without question.

Eli Beer, founder of Israeli emergency services organization United Hatzalah, provided more details at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s Annual Leadership Summit in Las Vegas on October 28. In his address to the convention, he said: “A little baby in the oven. These bastards put these babies in the oven and put on the oven. … We found the kid a few hours later.”4

When the Israeli government and the IDF were pushed for more details on these Holocaustian atrocities, they were forced to sheepishly admit that they could not “confirm that babies were beheaded.”5

Left-wing Jewish reporter Oren Ziv, working for Israeli news outlet +972 Magazine, reported that the story was without foundation, saying that, even after extensively touring the scene, “we didn’t see any evidence of this, and the army spokesperson or commanders also didn’t mention any such incidents. … Soldiers I spoke with in Kfar Aza yesterday didn’t mention ‘beheaded babies’.”6

Similarly, the “baby in the oven” story was thoroughly investigated by several journalists and found to be completely untrue and without any foundation in fact.7

HAMAS VIOLENCE WAS REAL

These gross exaggerations do not mean that Hamas fighters did not gun down civilians and young Israelis. Video filmed by uniformed Hamas gunmen makes it clear they intentionally shot many Israelis with Kalashnikov rifles on October 7. But, like Holocaust propaganda, they have to be viewed in context to the prior events.

Every Palestinian in Gaza has firsthand seen and suffered from Zionist expulsion policies, has had relatives killed in indiscriminate Israeli bombings, ground invasions, and air strikes.

The poison well of hatred that erupted on October 7 was first dug by the Zionists. It is little wonder that, when presented with the opportunity, the Hamas fighters gave back to the Israelis a small sample of the cruelty to which the Palestinians have been subjected to for the last 80 years.

The Zionist propaganda machine did not stop with “beheaded babies” and “babies in ovens,” however. Next came the claims of mass rapes and, finally, images of bombed buildings and cars, both of which centered around the Nova rave party.

“MASS RAPES” PROPAGANDA EMERGES

The “mass rapes” story started with a widely publicized claim by Israeli rescue worker Chaim Otmazgin, who claimed that he had seen the body of a teenager who had been shot dead with her pants pulled down below her waist in the Kibbutz Be’eri.

Otmazgin, a volunteer with the Israeli search and rescue organization ZAKA, alerted journalists to what he had seen, and his account of “rape” then spread like wildfire in the controlled media. It was also repeated every time an image of a partially clothed Israeli woman—dead or alive—appeared in the media in connection with October 7.

Soon, the whole world had been informed that Hamas had committed mass gang rapes of Jews during the attack. This story remains one of the Zionist mainstays of October 7.

The trouble was, Otmazgin’s story was untrue. Nearly three months later, ZAKA admitted that his “interpretation” of the scene was wrong. After crosschecking with military contacts, ZAKA found that a group of soldiers had dragged the girl’s body across the room to make sure it wasn’t boobytrapped by Hamas. During the procedure, her pants had come down.8

Although Otmazgin later admitted that he was “wrong,” his retraction was largely ignored by the controlled media that, to this day, continue to make the mass rapes claim on behalf of the Zionists.

A United Nations team was then sent in to investigate the claims.

The report said there was: “… credible circumstantial information which may be indicative of some forms of sexual violence. … [This] included photos and videos showing a minimum of 20 corpses with clothes that had been torn, revealing private body parts, and 10 bodies with indications of bound wrists and or tied legs. No digital materials showed sexual violence in real time.”9

The media coverage of this photographic evidence ignored the reality that the state of undress of many of the alleged “rape victims” was in fact a reflection of the Nova “rave party” activities before the Hamas raid started.

As numerous pre-raid photographs of the Nova rave party showed, a large number of female attendees had already divested themselves of much of their clothing and, no doubt, given the drug- and alcohol-fueled nature of the event, had been engaging in sexual activity.

Orit Sulitzeanu, the executive director of “The Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel,” was quoted by PBS News as admitting that her organization had “spent months gathering evidence of sexual violence,” sifting through many accounts emerging from the chaotic early days just after the attack. “Some of those stories that turned out not to be true were not lies,” she said. They were, she said, “mistakes.”10

Finally, there have been zero actual cases of rape lodged to date. There are no actual witnesses, or victims who have come forward. The Zionist propaganda machine has, in true Holocaustian fashion, simply claimed that all the victims had been killed and “charred beyond recognition” (a fact which would make any evidence of sexual assault impossible to find or prove) or had been “buried quickly within 24 hours” as Jewish custom dictates.11

Thus, just like the “special commandos” of the alleged “Nazi gas chambers,” there are no actual witnesses or survivors, merely vague allegations that are expected to be taken on face value alone.

In summary, then, there is no actual evidence of these “mass rapes” or “sexual assaults.”

IDF DESTROYED CARS AND BUILDINGS

The claim that the Hamas fighters bombed numerous buildings and destroyed hundreds of vehicles at the Nova rave has also been definitively debunked.

Firstly, the weaponry that the Hamas militants carried with them on their raid could never have inflicted the sort of mass damage that was claimed.

The destruction of vehicles on this scale could never have been carried out by the lightly armed Hamas militants, and was obviously the result of Israeli crossfire using heavy caliber weapons and Hellfire missiles, as was admitted later in the Hebrew language media.

One of the most gruesome photographs released by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, for example, was of two charred corpses inside a bombed vehicle. The two corpses were, the Zionists said, killed by Hamas as the victims were driving past.

However, the damage to the vehicle, and the roof in particular, could only have been caused by a powerful missile, typical of those carried by Israeli attack helicopters, and probably a Hellfire missile, not the weapons Hamas members were armed with that day.

This “mistake” on the part of the Zionists provides the answer to the final part of the propaganda lies about October 7: that of the burned vehicles and bombed houses.

ISRAELI MEDIA ADMITS IDF KILLED JEWS

As is now well-known, the Israeli Hannibal Directive is a doctrine whereby the IDF is authorized to knowingly engage a target area even if Jews are present in the danger zone. It is named after the famous Carthaginian general who took poison rather than be captured by the Romans.

The first Israeli news source to admit that the IDF had been responsible for firing upon Jews and Hamas militants at the same time was the Keshet 12 TV news service. An interview broadcast on that station shows two Israeli soldiers freely admitting that they had been ordered to shoot into a place where there were Jews as well as Hamas members.

One of the soldiers, a female, then added that she had refused to “shoot into a Jewish community,” but that she was unable to stop the others.

Israeli newspapers—in Hebrew—are full of reports of damage being inflicted upon Jewish buildings and vehicles by the IDF. Most of these reports remain untranslated and unreported by the non-Hebrew-language media and are, thus, withheld from common knowledge outside of Israel.

There has to date been only one notable exception to this deliberate censorship policy: Australia’s ABC News dared to buck the trend of covering up the truth in September 2024.

In an article quoting directly from the Hebrew-language Haaretz newspaper, ABC News said that “Israeli forces [are] accused of killing their own citizens under the ‘Hannibal Directive’ during October 7 chaos.”12

ABC News said that Israeli newspaper Haaretz had confirmed “what many Israelis have feared since the Hamas attacks on October 7 in southern Israel. Israeli forces have killed their own citizens.”13

The report continued by saying that, in July 2024, Haaretz had revealed that the commanders in the IDF gave the order to fire on troops that had been captured by Hamas at three separate locations.

One former Israeli officer, air force Col. Nof Erez, told Haaretz that the “Hannibal Directive” was not specifically ordered but was “apparently applied” by responding aircrews.14

Col. Erez said: “Panicked, operating without their normal command structure and unable to coordinate with ground forces, they fired on vehicles returning to Gaza, knowing they were likely carrying hostages. This was a ‘mass Hannibal.’ It was tons and tons of openings in the fence, and thousands of people in every type of vehicle, some with hostages and some without.”15

In addition, Israeli air force pilots described to the Yedioth Ahronot (YNet) newspaper the firing of “tremendous” amounts of ammunition on October 7 at people attempting to cross the border between Gaza and Israel. Reporter Yoav Zeitoun said:

“Twenty-eight fighter helicopters shot over the course of the day all of the ammunition in their bellies, in renewed runs to re-arm. We are talking about hundreds of 30-millimeter cannon mortars and Hellfire missiles. …”16

The frequency of fire at the thousands of terrorists was enormous at the start, and only at a certain point did the pilots begin to slow their attacks and carefully choose the targets.17

The ABC report also translated an article written by Y-Net investigative journalist Ronen Bergman who said: “[The] IDF instructed all its fighting units in practice to follow the ‘Hannibal Directive,’ although without clearly mentioning this explicit name. … The instruction is to stop ‘at all costs’ any attempt by Hamas terrorists to return to Gaza.”18

Bergman’s investigation found that at least 70 vehicles were destroyed by Israeli aircraft and tanks to prevent them being driven into Gaza, killing everyone inside, Israelis and Hamas fighters alike: “It is not clear at this point how many of the abductees were killed due to the activation of this [Hannibal] order on October 7.”19

In one case, as reported by the Hebrew-language media, Israeli civilians were killed when an IDF tank was ordered to fire upon a house in the Kibbutz Be’eri after “a prolonged firefight with around 40 Hamas gunmen who had been holding 15 hostages inside and outside.”

In total, at least 101 Jews were killed in that kibbutz alone at the end of the fighting.20

Note that inhabitants of Israeli kibbutzes in areas set up near the border with Gaza are in actuality heavily armed militant settlers. When Hamas fighters neared the kibbutzes or fired upon them, Jewish settlers responded in self-defense with weapons fire of their own.

Finally, many Jewish survivors reported in interviews that their fellow Jews had in fact been killed by the IDF. One notable example was one Yasmin Porat, who was living at the Kibbutz Kabri on the day of the attack.

When interviewed on the Kan Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation’s This Morning show, hosted by veteran Israeli journalist Aryeh Golan, Porat repeatedly said that Jews had been killed by the IDF in the “crossfire”:21

Yasmin Porat: And then they hear me and stop firing. I see on the lawn, in the garden of the people from the kibbutz. There are five or six hostages lying on the ground outside, just like sheep to the slaughter, between the shooting of our [fighters] and the terrorists.

Aryeh Golan: The terrorists shot them?

Porat: No, they were killed by the crossfire. Understand there was very, very heavy crossfire.

Golan: So our forces may have shot them?

Porat: Undoubtedly.

Golan: When they tried to eliminate the abductors, Hamas?

Porat: They eliminated everyone, including the hostages. Because there was very, very heavy crossfire. I was freed at approximately 5:30. The fighting apparently ended at 8:30. After insane crossfire, two tank shells were shot into the house. It’s a small kibbutz house, nothing big. You saw it on the news.

Golan: Yes.

Porat: Not a large place. And at that moment everyone was killed. There was quiet, except for one survivor that came out of the garden, Hadas.

Golan: How were they all killed?

Porat: From the crossfire.

Golan: Crossfire, so it could also be from our forces?

Porat: Undoubtedly.22

YET ANOTHER FAKE ATROCITY STORY

From all this evidence, it is clear that the events of October 7, 2023, transpired very differently from the story that was put out by the Zionists, and which was parroted by the pro-Israel controlled media, foreign leaders, U.S. politicians and even the American president himself.

The parallels with the original “Holocaust” stories are also explicit, even down to the tactics employed.

Once again, the impartial observer is left to consider the motivations and psychology of the people making up these stories.

In the case of the Holocaust, the main motivations have been to entrench the Jewish lobby’s power in Western nations, and thereby to support the state of Israel.

In the case of the October 7 attack, the main motivation has been to use it as a reason to finally eradicate the residents of the Gaza Strip once and for all, and move on to the final annexation of the West Bank and the final expulsion of the Palestinians from their ancestral homeland.

Only time will tell if this final objective is reached. In the interim, those who can see these events for what they are should do whatever they can to bring the facts to the public’s attention, before this too becomes another myth which is illegal in more than a dozen nations to question.

Last year, on BlueSky, I watched a celebrity rapper - naming no names as of yet! - who swears that he is an “anti-Zionist” nevertheless routinely and methodically shut down all Rоthschild-related discussion of Jeffrey Epstein’s ties to the family as a “conspiracy theory” attacking Jewish people. He got away with it, too! Everything got taken down. This rapper even asserted that the existence of theories about Jewish mafiosi were a harmful myth and should be reported.

This is the most errant of nonsense. Of course there are Jewish mobsters. America has hosted some of the most infamous in history. Indeed, there’s profound evidence that current President of the United States, Donald Trump, worked with one - Meyer Lansky, head of the Jewish-American mafia group Murder Inc, which was quite literally a contract assassination service for hitmen.

More on this later.

The rapper in question is, however, represented through Universal. Universal’s movie division used to be headed by a man named Lew Wasserman. Wasserman’s own ties to the mafia were going to be the subject of a FBI investigation until spiked by President Ronald Reagan himself.

More on this later too.

Simply suffice it to say there is an insane, chilling, and very un-American culture of silence around Epstein’s known ties to Jewish mafia groups worldwide.

This is not an accident.

Because at least four men with profound ties either to Epstein or his closest associates - two dead, two still living - are reputed to be known or suspected heads of some of the world’s most powerful Jewish organized crime.

These men are:

• Meyer Lansky, head of World War II-era murder-for-hire organized crime group Murder Inc. and suspected “boss of bosses” of the Jewish mafia in the United States

• Leslie Wexner, former CEO of lingerie company Victoria’s Secret, notorious Iraq War lobbyist, and Epstein’s biggest financial backer - and possible boyfriend

• Lew Wasserman, former head of Universal Pictures and beloved Hollywood icon, and close friend of President Ronald Reagan

• Semion Mogilevich, Jewish Ukrainian-Russian mafia don, business partner of both Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, and suspected “boss of bosses” of the current Russian mafia structure worldwide

The Mafiosi

Meyer Lansky

Let’s start with a man who has no known yet direct connections himself to Epstein - but who is intensely connected to another man who appears, by some accounts, more than one million times in the Epstein files.

These men are Meyer Lansky and Donald Trump, respectively.

Lansky was an infamous Depression and World War II-era Jewish mafia superstar - a boss of bosses of the Jewish mafia in the United States. He was a cruel and vicious man who ran a murder-for-hire service for other mobsters, called Murder Inc. His best friend was Charles “Lucky” Luciano, the infamous boss of the Genovese crime family, one of New York’s infamous Five Families of the Italian mafia. Lansky also worked at the highest levels of government as a Nazi saboteur during Operation Underworld, the nosebleed-level secret program to hire Jewish and Italian mobsters during the Second World War to fight against German and Italian fascists. During this operation, this mob bombed New York Harbor as an excuse to soak the government for more money. Lansky claimed this was done by Albert “The Mad Hatter” Anastasia, the former head of Lansky’s Murder Inc. hitmen-for-hire service, without his permission. I have my doubts about that last part, and I personally don’t think it matters which of Lansky’s goons pulled it off - it’s far more important to see this bombing as a precursor to the false-flag ClA and lsraeli intelligence bombings of today.

Lansky himself, as yet, has no known direct ties to Epstein. This may change. That is because Lansky’s business partners in the Resorts International enterprise are all over the Epstein files. Donald Trump was one of those partners. So was Edmоnd de Rоthschild, the head of the group Ariane de Rоthschild ran - Ariane having notoriously communicated with Jeff many, many hundreds of times, e-mailing him weekly at various points. David Rоckefeller, U.S. business tycoon and heir to the Exxon fortune, was another of Lansky’s partners here. David is in Epstein’s personal phonebook, as are several Rоthschilds, as well as Ivanka and Ivana Trump.

The board of Resorts International contained a rather astonishing collection of the U.S. and lsrael’s top billionaires at the time - and then Lansky, the most infamous Jewish-American gangster on the planet. Lansky passed away in 1983; Rоckefeller in 2017. But much of the rest of the board is still alive.

Is it worth asking if this board is a roadmap to other heads of the Jewish mob?

Should we perhaps ask why the current President of the United States was seated on this board?

Leslie Wexner

Next we have Ohio’s favorite billionaire, Victoria’s Secret ex-CEO and lingerie salesman Leslie Wexner - also Epstein’s biggest financier, one of Jeff’s close friends - and according to one stunning allegation, possibly even Jeff’s boyfriend.

Wexner is a shady dude. He used to have a lawyer named Arthur Shapiro, all the way back in the 1980’s. Shapiro had been dodging taxes for a number of years and was being investigated for tax fraud when he died of an overdose of bullets to the brain after a mysterious breakfast meeting at a cemetary. (To be fair, it only took two bullets for him to overdose.)

Who administered this fatal overdose of bullets to Shapiro remains a mystery. Investigations into this matter have run into a tangled skein of mob ties Shapiro himself had. In the words of Wendy Siegelman and William Bredderman:

“The Fitrakis article noted that [Shapiro’s friend Robert Morosky’s own friend Frank] Walsh was charged in 1988 with making “illegal pay-offs to reported mob figures and officials of Teamster Local 560.” The indictment named as “unindicted co-conspirators” Genovese crime family kingpin Anthony “Fat Tony” Salerno, mafia boss Matthew “Matty the Horse” Ianniello, and the Provenzano brothers, “convicted of various charges in the past and linked in media accounts to the murder of former Teamster President Jimmy Hoffa.”

The overall cloud of mob suspicion around Wexner starts to read like a Simpsons episode. Fat Tony! Matty the Horse! The undiscovered corpse of Jimmy Hoffa! Many of the people involved with the ties Shapiro had to the mob also seem to have known Wexner. But despite decades of on-and-off research into the case, no one has ever been able to tie anything concrete to Leslie.

After 9/11, Wexner was an Iraq War lobbyist, thick as thieves with the PNAC’s neocons, with access to the highest levels of Bush-era governance. He is in rather more hot water these days, having emerged as Jeffrey Epstein’s main financial backer, and having paid Jeffrey millions - out of which Epstein “conned” him, he now says. Sob sob, boo hoo. Assiduous journalists on the Epstein case are very skeptical of this. In the Congressional testimony that resulted from Les’ multi-decade relationship to Epstein, he strenuously denied knowing anything out of the ordinary, even as he sweatflopped and flipped on a great many of his old associates - saying some very curious things, in particular that Epstein had ties to Google founder Sergey Brin, as well as the Rоthschilds.

It is unknown how useful Wexner’s testimony will be, for the very simple reason that just about anyone with a brain is quite certain that he is lying about not knowing about Epstein’s various abuses. Once a witness has provably lied on the stand, pretty much everything else they say on the stand tends to be regarded as suspect, at least in terms of establishing cases against his co-defendants.

But it is certainly worth investigating. Saner heads have noted that very credible allegations exist that Epstein’s true purpose in recording footage of hundreds of hours of politicians and celebrities having illegal sex with children was to collect kompromat- compromising material - on them, to then be given to lsraeli intelligence. Given his own position as a top Zionist lobbyist, and the allegations that Wexner and Epstein may have been lovers, it is almost insane to assert that Wexner did not know of this.

And there are rumors of darker deeds still - maybe the most curious allegation against Les Wexner is that he is alleged by Epstein ring survivor Kirby Sommers to have run a brides-for-sale business out of the C-suite of Victoria’s Secret, including selling Cindy Crawford to Richard Gere. It is quite illegal to sell women’s lingerie if there are still women in the lingerie when you sell it. With mafia researcher and journalist Whitney Webb having called Wexner “the head of the snake” in the United States, it’s certain Wexner has earned his spot on this list - maybe more assiduously than anyone else in this article.

Lew Wasserman

Now, as the phrase goes in Hollywood, for something completely different!

Or, possibly not so different.

Let’s pivot to Epstein’s connections to the entertainment industry, so assiduously researched and exposed by Whitney Webb - an astonishing number of which overlap those of Sean “Diddy” Combs. It seems Combs may have been doing the same thing in Hollywood that Epstein did in Washington: running a honeypot ring in which compromising footage of celebrities was taken, to ensure their compliance to a deep-state agenda. Webb’s article exposes a brutal number of ties between Combs and legendary music mogul Clive Davis, through the old record label MCA - Music Corporation of America, sometimes jokingly called the “Mob Corporation of America” by its researchers. In fact, Clive has recently been named as one of the infamous music industry executives who took part in the secret 1991 meeting that “destroyed hip hop” - in reality, a series of meetings in which it is alleged that music industry heads made a devil’s deal with the private prison industry to promote gangsta rap as a way to entice more young people to commit criminal behavior, as it would keep private prisons full, and private prison profits high.

MCA doesn’t exist anymore as a distinct entity, because it was bought by entertainment megaconglomerate Universal. And Universal’s movie division used to be run by a man named Lew Wasserman.

Wasserman was beloved in Hollywood on a scale most cannot understand. Universal Pictures is a bedrock studio of the industry, a century-old institution responsible for billions of dollars in hits, with its own theme park, Universal Studios, mounted on the north side of the Hollywood Hills.

And, yet, his grandson Casey Wasserman, Olympic chairman, is in the Epstein Files. Casey is in the Epstein Files so deeply that he sold his Hollywood talent company rather than face further scrutiny over his ties to Epstein.

It is alleged that no less a luminary than Wasserman’s good friend, Hollywood superstar and United States President Ronald Reagan, spiked an investigation into Lew’s mob ties.

Unlike the rest of the men on this list, Wasserman is only a suspected mafia head. Nobody has ever looked deeply into his mafia ties. Nobody in Hollywood wanted to - they’d have been blacklisted, or worse. Lew Wasserman also passed away in 2002.

But I am inclined to say that if a United States President himself canceled an FBl investigation into your ties to the mafia, well, you just might have had some high-ranking ties to the mafia.

Semion Mogilevich

Finally, we have arguably the most villainous of these men, which is not a low bar.

That is boss-of-bosses of the Russian mafia, Semion Mogilevich.

Mogilevich is a true monster - a notorious Jewish-Ukrainian-Russian mobster who has been active for decades, leaving a trail of murder, extortion, and money laundering continents wide in his wake.

Mogilevich was on the Top Ten FBl Most Wanted list in the 1990’s. He was never caught. This may be in part because he is also a billionaire, through his connections to corrupt Russian and Ukrainian oil and gas companies - so wealthy and powerful that he was able to somehow hire former FBl Director William S. Sessions to become his lawyer in the United States.

Excuse me?

How does it happen that the head of the FBl gets fired and then goes to work for the head of the Russian mafia?

The secret seems to lie in Mogilevich’s deeper ties to world power - including his alleged connections to President Donald Trump, who, according to journalist Craig Unger, made over 1,400 real estate transactions with notable members of Mogilevich’s Russian mafia in the United States.

These include selling luxury high-tower Manhattan real estate to Russian mafia lieutenants Vyachaslev Ivankov and Eduard Nektalov, both of whom were later discovered to be running money laundering rings out of properties they owned in Trump’s buildings. Ivankov is described in the case files against him as “the most terrifying Russian mobster in New York” at the time.

Nektalov was a quieter figure, a New York diamond dealer who used his diamond business as a front to launder money for Mogilevich’s mob, but not quiet enough to escape his own eventual indictment as well.

Both men are now dead in the streets, killed by gunfire from unknown assailants after their indictments, prison terms and subsequent releases.

Oddly enough, the Murdoch-owned New York Post ran a bizarre glowup on Nektalov, describing him as a beloved family man whose killing needed justice, even as it ran a second article by a different author that was more honest about Nektalov’s mob ties.

Mogilevich shows up in the Epstein Files not just through his connections to Trump, but through his connections to Robert Maxwell - Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, a notorious suspected British-Russian-lsraeli triple agent and member of the British Parliament who was found floating dead on a yachting trip after being indicted for fraud in the dozens of millions of pounds against the Bank of England.

Mogilevich is also a close friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin. In contrast to his U.S. dealings and connections, relatively little is known about this in the West as of yet - though FSB defector and Putin target Alexander Litivinenko, infamously poisoned to death with polonium in a case where most honest international observers regard Putin as a main suspect, claimed that they had a “good relationship going back to the 1990’s,” and some cable intercepts from Russia indicate that Mogilevich is living in Moscow under the protection of the Kremlin.

I cannot escape the distinct feeling that America is in for grief if it does not find out a way to know more, and soon.

Conclusion

By no means is this an exhaustive list of potential Jewish mafia heads connected to Jeffrey Epstein. In fact, I’m a big proponent of the theory that the board of Resorts International circa 1988 may be an effective roadmap to more heads of Jewish organized crime in the United States.

The big problem is that nobody wants to look. The corporate-owned major media does not touch stories about the Rоckefellers’ or Rоthschilds’ criminal ties as a general rule. How could they? Iconic U.S. journalist outlets like TIME and People are produced from 30 Rоckefeller Center in New York - the office building so legendary it even had its own propaganda comedy series, “30 Rock” with Tina Fey.

Nobody wants to look because these Jewish-mob billionaires control staggering amounts of trade in U.S. commerce. Trump sold gobs of very expensive Manhattan real estate to Mogilevich’s mob. Wasserman was so powerful in Hollywood that to speak out against him was an instant blacklist. Wexner controls immense power as Ohio’s richest billionaire, and if the celebrity-brides allegation is true, would have had kompromat on every man of power who ever brought their bride from him. And of course Lansky was so powerful and connected that he literally was hired by the United States government as a saboteur in the Second World War.

These connections do not serve America. They never served America. They only served to ensure that Jewish-mafia power has never been seriously challenged in America.

It’s time to end the stigma against talking about these powerful, criminal men tied to sex trafficking rings that abuse and kill children.

And it’s time to confront the celebrities who are themselves compromised by this web of power, who make millions while using their own positions of power to shut down discussion about the mafia that made them.

It’s paramount that people understand that the Zionist state of Israel only knows how to resolve ALL conflicts is with a military force and violent reactions.

Because of this deeply ingrained foreign policy, since its founding as a full-blown terrorist state, there is no room for negotiation and/or compromise about anything. This is why they kill any and all negotiators in the countries they’re attacking and invading (Iran, Gaza, Lebanon).

This tribe of inveterate murderers and thieves has never signed a treaty or truce, agreement and pact in good faith; and they never will.

Point of fact, the apartheid state of Israel was founded via the most violent forms of terrorism; it is sustained by terrorism; and can only exist in the future in the same manner.

Here’s a previous piece I’ve written about the sinister origins of the state of Israel, it’s free to read:

The stark reality is that the modern state of Israel was deliberately set up as a national terrorist operation to be used as a pawn by NATO. The U.S. and UK especially use Israel to keep all the Middle East oil-producing nations under their thumb, which they have done since WWII.

Israel is a pawn: the Mossad does a flag attack (9/11, 10/7).
Arabs are always blamed for it.
That way Americans, especially Evangelical Christians and “Judeo-Christians” rally around Israel.

The Cabal, the Deep State, the ruling class, the establishment, call it whatever you want. The people at the top have always understood one simple truth: a population that is angry and united is a threat to their perceived power. A population that is fearful, divided, and constantly looking for an enemy is far easier to control.

That’s why there always seems to be a new villain, a new boogeyman, a new group to blame for society’s problems (Al-Qaeda/ISIS/Hamas). Who CREATED and FUNDED all of these groups? The Mossad and CIA.

However, the entire Middle East military and geopolitical chessboard has radically changed since the inception of Israel in 1947. For example, Iran and other enemies of Israel now possess some of the most advanced drone weapon technology and hypersonic ICBM weaponry on the planet. For the last year, Israel has rapidly discovered that fighting a technologically advanced military is a lot harder than bombing and starving a defenseless population trapped inside of an open air prison camp.

So what the entire world community of nations is really witnessing today is Israel’s deep frustration and anxiety with that ever-worsening predicament. For it only gets worse by the day as the hardcore terrorists and incorrigible warmongers in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem dig themselves a deeper and deeper grave with every act of terrorism and war.

How so?

This is now the daily dynamic, which began in earnest with the false flag 10/7 terrorist operation that was perpetrated by the IDF/MOSSAD terrorist group against the people of Israel:

First, Israel assassinates an Iranian or Hamas or Hezbollah political or military leader. Next, there is a minor retaliation for these terrorist assassinations. Then Israel uses those justified military reprisals as a justification to bomb with wanton abandon any location they so choose. The civilian targets such as hospitals, schools, apartment buildings, nurseries, banks, refugee camps, etc. inevitably result in great numbers of women, children and the elderly being mass murdered by the IDF, thereby generating even more anti-Israel hatred the world over.

Now we are seeing even more desperate acts of deception and brazen ploys of outright deceit by Team Netanyahu as a means of somehow refuting the legitimacy of the various indictments of genocide issued against the top Israeli military leaders by international courts.

Do you see what’s going on here?

Israel is like a rabid dog, biting anything and everything within its reach because of its own paralyzing impotence and self-destructive Zionist ideology.

However, deep down inside, every rabid dog knows it needs to be put down for its own sake and for the sake of all future victims.

Israel cannot be reformed.

Which means that the Zionist State of Israel has a death wish. Every bellicose action Israel takes has done nothing but further seal its fate.

One way or another the world community of nations will rid itself of this deadly cancer, which has only brought so much death and destruction both to the Middle East as well as to other continents far from what is notoriously known as the Greater Israel project.

Because Israel has become the most detested pariah nation in modern history even their so-called friends don’t like them.

After all, who wants to be associated with a genocidal Nazi regime?

Much more significantly, many secret mutual defense treaties have been signed by various BRICS-aligned nations so that, when and if Israel ever attacks Iran again, the Zio-Anglo-American Axis is really fighting Russia, China, India, Turkey, and Egypt among others. Given the level of highly advanced weaponry aimed at Israel in an all-out firefight, Israel would be reduced to rubble in a day and a night. And the Netanyahu regime knows this, which is why they resort to forever slaughtering defenseless innocents in the surrounding areas of relatively powerless resistance.

Former Palestinian detainees have given graphic testimonies about being subjected to widespread torture and sexual violence, including rape by dogs, while held in Israeli rape and torture dungeons.

Several former detainees described prolonged shackling, severe beatings, starvation, sleep deprivation, forced nudity, and repeated humiliation. Multiple detainees said they were raped or sexually assaulted while restrained, saying the abuse caused lasting physical injuries and profound psychological trauma.

Among the most harrowing accounts are those of men who say they were raped with objects while handcuffed and blindfolded, leaving them bleeding and requiring medical treatment after their release.

Mohammed Zaki al-Bakri, a former detainee, recounted being raped by trained dogs. “I was raped after being stripped of my clothes,” he said, “by a large dog.” He added that several detainees were also subjected to the same treatment: “The seven of us were sexually assaulted by the dog.”

Others said guards filmed the assaults, threatened them with further rape if they disclosed what had happened, or forced them to remain naked for extended periods while enduring verbal abuse.

These findings are consistent with numerous reports of Israelis systematically raping Palestinian detainees since the start of the genocide in the Gaza Strip.

Fresh off a World War II victory, the recently formed Central Intelligence Agency named Communism as the world’s biggest threat and decided to launch an all-out information war against their newly minted Cold War enemies.

To control the narrative, the Agency launched Operation Mockingbird (also known as Project Mockingbird). They wrote press releases that were published in prominent papers as bona fide news. They also advised journalists on what to write and angles to take. They shared classified materials. They recruited journalists to publish material influenced by the Agency under the guise of national security and patriotic duty. And, perhaps most importantly, they trained CIA Agents to get jobs as journalists. Payment and coercion weren’t out of the question to place the right messages into the public arena at the right time.

According to Deborah Davis in her book Katharine The Great (biography of Katharine Graham—publisher of The Washington Post), a CIA operative said to Philip Graham: “You could get a journalist cheaper than a good call girl, for a couple hundred dollars a month.”

But, it wasn’t solely individual journalists. Management at news organizations were privy to the arrangements and provided cover.

News of these untoward arrangements started to leak out in the 60s. In 1975, the Church Committee Congressional investigation discovered that 50 journalists had under-the-table official relationships with the CIA.

Carl Bernstein, in his 25,000-word piece, The CIA and the Media, published in Rolling Stone in 1977, criticized the investigation’s lack of thoroughness and said there were at least 400 journalists working with the Agency since the inception of Operation Mockingbird:

Top officials of the CIA, including former directors William Colby and George Bush, persuaded the Committee to restrict its inquiry into the matter and to deliberately misrepresent the actual scope of the activities in its final report. The multi-volume report contains nine pages in which the use of journalists is discussed in deliberately vague and sometimes misleading terms. It makes no mention of the actual number of journalists who undertook covert tasks for the CIA. Nor does it adequately describe the role played by newspaper and broadcast executives in cooperating with the Agency.

George H.W. Bush, CIA Director, reported in 1976 that the Agency was no longer in the news business, but would still accept volunteers who wanted to help their country. In reality, the CIA cut ties with the least productive journalists on their payroll to make it look like they were purging their ranks of propagandists. But, this was just a cover to keep their most valued relationships alive and well.

Any investigation of the government, BY THE GOVERNMENT, will withhold certain information while giving the illusion of a thorough job. It never fails.

You don’t have to throw out everything these investigations discover and publish, but you must be critical.

They’re notorious for sharing a little bit of truth, but leaving out critical information. Obfuscation is the M.O.

A compromised press validates the reliability of the material produced by the government.

When it comes to not telling the whole truth, journalists are as complicit as the government. In fact, Bernstein’s own article, while illuminating, leaves out his old partner, Bob Woodward’s, cozy relationship with the Agency. He also treads lightly on the Washington Post’s complicity in Operation Mockingbird. He makes it seem inconsequential, when in reality, Philip Graham (Publisher at The Post) played a huge role in recruiting journalists for the Agency at the inception of the project in the late 40s. In turn, the Post became a much more influential paper.

Unfortunately, limited hangouts may be the rule rather than the exception.

The lesson here:
Keep an open mind but consume media with vigilance.

Sometimes it’s what they don’t print that comes with major consequences, or in the minds of some in the news business, averts dangerous outcomes:

Here’s what Katharine Graham, the wife of Phil Graham, who took over The Washington Post after he died, had to say about the press keeping secrets for national security: “We live in a dirty and dangerous world. There are some things the general public does not need to know and shouldn’t. I believe democracy flourishes when the government can take legitimate steps to keep its secrets, and when the press can decide whether to print what it knows.”

I don’t totally disagree with this. There have been times in the past where holding a story for a day or two helped a police investigation or kept a strategic piece of information from getting into the hands of an enemy at an inopportune time.

However, these days I have a hard time believing anything the current regime does is on the up and up. They aren’t holding stories for national security reasons. They’re distorting, falsifying, misreporting, hiding, gaslighting and deceiving the American people.

Another angle to this perverse relationship between the US government and the Fourth Estate is lower level Agency or State Dept employees planting material with high-profile journalists to make government officials believe the narrative.

“The President of the United States, the Secretary of State, Congressmen and even the Director of the CIA himself will read, believe, and be impressed by a report from Cy Sulzberger, Arnaud de Borchgrave, or Stewart Alsop when they don’t even bother to read a CIA report on the same subject,” noted CIA agent Miles Copeland.

In other words, you are being played if you’re not incredulous while reading, watching or listening to corporate media.

Bernstein described the CIA’s use of journalists in foreign countries saying that they aren’t typically spies. Rather, their primary task is to recruit and handle “foreign nationals who are channels of secret information reaching American intelligence.”

Journalists are also used to carry messages between the foreign recruit and the intelligence case officer. Oftentimes they serve as “eyes and ears” but others provide more sophisticated services like planting misinformation, hosting parties bringing agents and spies together; using their hotel rooms as “drops” for sensitive information; and passing along instructions and payments.

In return, the CIA gives connected journalists classified information to enhance their reporting. Many journalists eagerly accept these roles and take oaths of secrecy. In extreme cases, actual officers in the CIA went undercover as journalists on staff at major organizations.

Despite Papa Bush’s vow to the contrary, this most certainly continues to happen today, and not just in foreign lands.

Fake News?

People may continue to think the news organizations “on their side” of the political aisle are pure, but you can’t believe a word from those other guys. While utterly false, it’s a tad better than unconsciously consuming all news reporting as “truth.”

The iron grip of the corporate news media on American minds is weakening. The entire industry is on a steep decline, on pace to fade into oblivion as soon as the boomers are no longer around.

But, propagandists (CIA) aren’t dumb. They hopped onto even more powerful vehicles to disseminate their BS: Social media, movies, TV shows, blogs, books, YouTube channels and podcasts.

The brainwashing is alive and well.

The Future Of Propaganda And Censorship

It’s much easier to control the flow of information in the corporate media today than it was during the Cold War because six corporations own 90% of major media.

The good news is that as all major news media and entertainment companies merge, there is a downward pressure birthing high-quality independent information providers. The Internet has made this possible.

Of course, the Elites see this. They see the tremendous numbers popular podcasts, YouTube shows and blogs pull. And they’re doing their best to censor the stuff they don’t like. With major control of social media channels, search engines, and the nifty little “fact-checker” trick, the Cabal can stunt the growth of independent outlets.

So if you come across somebody who you believe has your best interest at heart, share their stuff with your friends. We have no chance against the tyrants on our own. We have to band together.

Who are your favorite independent creators? Let me know in the comments. I’d love to collaborate with people and share the work of people who are fighting the good fight.

You hear “they” set up the hit. “They” launched the COVID hoax. “They” compromise all the politicians. “They” want to depopulate the world. “They” run the economies of every major country on Earth. “They” want a Great Reset.

A question any curious individual might ask is … “Who are they?”

Who Are They?

A network of old-world families, international bankers, power players, and secret societies, which has infiltrated societal institutions (media, entertainment, religion, education, government, etc.) to bring about a Great Reset, which includes a one-world government, global monetary system, ubiquitous security force, total surveillance, and universal religion.

In other words, an unelected and unaccountable “elite” orchestrates the events that shape the world. They are hungry for power and sociopathic in their desire to “make manifest” their dreams of becoming like gods with total control of the world.

“The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.” — Benjamin Disraeli, Prime Minister the United Kingdom (1874-1880)

The Power Grab Is An Old Story

Tyrants, kings, and emperors thirst for conquest and expansion of their realm … a common trait of the powerful for millennia.

Today, it’s about installing ideologies across the globe with the intent of full-spectrum dominance using propaganda, pandemics, fear, and smart technology. The powerful use their vast militaries, and unlimited access to money printing to intimidate, grease the skids of regime change, fund proxy wars, and bribe puppet leaders. But it starts with the ideology.

• Then extraction of natural resources.

• Then, the protection racket (it would be a shame if “a hostile neighbor” or “homegrown revolutionaries” or “terrorists” toppled your government … make sure you do what we tell you and that won’t happen).

• Then austerity measures.

To answer “who are they?” you have to answer, “who wants global power and has the means to attain it?”

If they wax eloquently about globalization, the Great Reset, Build Back Better, mass immigration, carbon credits, climate change, digital passports and IDs, population control, vaccines, environmental social governance (ESG), diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI), or any other global movement that sounds beneficial …

… and they are rich.
… and they have power and/or influence.

Most likely you found a power player … a “they.”

They can be politicians, think tanks, foundations, NGOs, corporate execs, professors, public intellectuals, intelligence operatives, media personalities, billionaires, bankers, asset managers, secret societies, and religious leaders.

Transnational Maneuverings

Most global elites have an institutional base from which to execute their objectives. They hold executive or board positions that provide the working capital and access to other players. Positions in the governments of nation-states are nice. Politicians can move agendas forward domestically, and perform the theater required as cover for real geopolitical players. The people getting work done aren’t beholden to one country, nor are they encumbered by pesky Constitutions or the will of the people.

This is why you see a lot of these players posted in transnational corporations, heads of foundations, or in positions at global non-governmental organizations (NGOs). More flexibility. More freedom of movement. And with the right lobbying/funding, you can get the full support of your favorite politician or elected body.

Add to this heady mix of power and agility, people embedded in strategic positions, and a consolidated corporate landscape (i.e. near hidden monopoly), and you have a network of ideology and action covering the globe.

For example, the World Economic Forum (WEF) has a very specific mission. Founder and Chairman, Klaus Schwab wants globalization and a Great Reset. His organization built a powerful network by hosting a massive annual event in Davos, Switzerland where the rich and powerful hobnob. Since 1971, the WEF built enough consensus with these conferences and networking events to craft a cohesive worldview and mission, which members buy into and vow to act on in their positions.

Next comes the indoctrination of the younger generation. Up-and-comers see the who’s-who attending Davos. They want a piece of that action, so they immerse themselves in the Schwab vision as WEF Young Global Leaders.

Controlled Canada

In a clip from 2022, Schwab brags about one of his success stories: Canada. The WEF molded Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and over 50% of his cabinet. To the detriment of the Canadian people, Trudeau implemented WEF-approved policies, including strict Covid measures despite common sense and actual science debunking the entire hoax.

When people protested, he went full dictator, including shutting off bank accounts, arresting peaceful protestors, encouraging police brutality, and calling dissenters white supremacists. Klaus approved. The pain and suffering caused by Covid measures and Covid vaccines weakened the people, opening them up to even more damage from the next crisis. Cyberattack? Manufactured war-induced gas and food shortages?

BlackRock

An example from big finance is BlackRock CEO, Larry Fink, who is on the Board of Trustees at the WEF. BlackRock, an asset management company with over $15 trillion in assets under management, owns controlling shares in 90% of the S&P 500.

When Larry talks at board meetings, executives listen. There are all sorts of dangers with this sort of extreme consolidation.

There are worrisome realities with a financial menace like Blackrock wielding so much power. According to Investigate Europe it:

• undermines competition through owning shares in competing companies.

• blurs boundaries between private capital and government affairs by working closely with regulators.

• advocates for privatisation of pensions schemes in order to channel savings capital into its funds.

They are influential, bending markets and economies to their will, which moves the world closer to global governance. Larry Fink yammers on about ESG (environmental, social, governance) and stakeholder capitalism, which on paper sound good … hold corporations accountable for their treatment of people and the environment.

Turns out it’s a bait and switch. Fooled ya. Small local businesses won’t be able to pay the extra taxes and carry the burden imposed by these measures, so the mega-corporations will scoop up the distressed assets for pennies on the dollar. But, hey, at least they said something moving about that river.

More consolidation. More power. Corporations with more sway than nation-states. People ruled by the unelected oligarchs and politicians bought and paid for by the same ruling elite. This is what Schwab, Fink, and their ilk are pushing for. They want absolute control of the future.

Judging from the absurd power BlackRock has, it looks these sociopaths have a good shot at achieving their diabolical goals. Bloomberg calls BlackRock ‘The fourth branch of government,’ because it’s the only private agency that closely works with the central banks. It also lends money and acts as an advisor to central banks.

Wall Street oligarch Carl Icahn called BlackRock “an extremely dangerous company” and claimed that the mafia “has a better code of ethics.”

BlackRock is in such a dominant position, they slithered their way into deciding who wins and who loses in the corporate bailout scheme the US government called the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES). From this slush fund, Americans received a one-time payment that barely covered a month’s rent while they awarded mismanaged corporations trillions.

Sounds a lot like the 2008 bank bailout debacle. BlackRock helped blow the mortgage bubble. They were a major player in mortgage-backed securities. (MBS). And, they helped divvy up the too-big-to-fail funds.

Flashback to COVID: If you want to consolidate power and wealth into the hands of a few corporations and destroy nations including the once-mighty United States, there aren’t many better ways than releasing a “plandemic”. Shut down business for all but the biggest corporations. Watch billionaires increase their wealth and holdings exponentially. Print money to enrich the corporations at the expense of the population. Bring countries to their knees, then bring on the next crisis.

Vanguard is an asset management company with the second most holdings in the world, but they aren’t publicly traded, so there isn’t a wealth of information about their operations. They are the largest shareholder in BlackRock. We also know that there are dynastic families invested in the fund including the Rothschilds, Orsini’s, Bushes, British Royals, du Ponts, Morgans, Vanderbilts, and Rockefellers.

The Corporate Media

Here’s a chart illustrating the influence of think tanks on mainstream media. The individuals at the top of those media org charts belong to think tanks, who develop the talking points, viewpoints, ideology, and slant allowed on the stations.

When it’s important to get a specific narrative to the public, there must be an early morning email that goes out to all the news outlets, who then read from the same script. This is beyond suspect. It is evidence.

We all know the only journalists worth following are independent, but it’s the montages that cement the fact that these so-called ‘news outlets’ settle for reading press releases from their controlling interests. Look good and speak in that weird cadence and intonation, and you got the job. No research, no investigation, and no thinking required.

These talking points can be innocuous like holiday messaging and entertainment reporting, or they can be catchy pieces of agenda-pushing propaganda.

Check out this ridiculous montage of a ton of ‘news’ organizations saying the exact same thing. How something like this could be pointed out and have zero repercussions is beyond me.

If you have a top-level mind control the phrases you want out there, you get everybody in on the act: news outlets, influencers, politicians, and public figures.

On the flip side, it’s easy to identify enemies by watching who is repeating the slick propaganda taglines.

Guess who owns controlling shares in the top media? BlackRock and Vanguard.

Print media fakes it better than TV, but it is compromised as well. All are willing servants of their corporate paymasters, and/or their intelligence agency handlers as uncovered by Operation Mockingbird investigations.

Think Tanks

The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), The Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg Group, Club of Rome, Tavistock Institute, Rand Corp, Jackson Hole Economic Symposium, and Royal Institute for International Affairs are examples of the world-shaping think tanks and planning committees spitballin’ ideas that shape your future. As mentioned with Davos and the WEF above, these groups gather to network and discuss world issues. They ebb and flow in influence and attendance. The WEF/Davos seems to be the hot group at the moment, but Schwab’s little empire wouldn’t exist without the help of the CFR and Henry Kissinger.

Journalists have focused large portions of their careers trying to glean agendas, itineraries, or any kind of information to alert the public that the most powerful people on the planet, including business titans, financiers, and politicians, are gathering in secret to discuss the future of the world.

Surprise, these think tanks all push the same agenda.

International Banking

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS), International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank, and Central Banks all make up the international banking cartel. Catherine Austin Fitts calls the banking sector the belly of the beast controlling the monetary policy across the world.

The IMF and World Bank are infamous for enslaving entire nations with massive debt obligations under false pretenses to extract wealth and resources, all in the name of helping a country in need.

The BIS and the Central Banks work closely to control monetary policy for nearly all nation-states. Their go-to move is “controlling” inflation by reducing the value of the currency by constantly printing money.

“Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws!” – Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744-1812), founder of the House of Rothschild

International Governing Bodies

The United Nations (UN), the World Health Organization (W.H.O.), and the World Trade Organization (WTO) are complicit in pushing global governance under the guise of humanitarian aid, worldwide health initiatives, and opening up markets for more fair trade.

In reality, each of these organizations plays a part in furthering the push for global governance. They formed the UN after WWII under the pretext of preventing another world war. There are many councils and committees under the UN banner doing different types of work like human rights, security, climate change, sustainable development, etc.

Sometimes they get it right, like calling out the US military for starving Iraqi citizens during the Gulf War. But, overall, they are a tool for regime change and globalization.

• A Haitian decries the UN peacekeeping forces for raping, pillaging, and laying the groundwork for imperial takeover of countries.

• The UN pushes a heavy-handed world government. And they are even rolling out a biometric digital wallet.

Our UN overlords rolled out plans to “inventory and control all land, all water, all minerals, all plants, all animals, all construction, all means of production, all energy, all education, all information, and all human beings in the world.” They call these schemes Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030.

Military-Industrial Complex, Big Tech, Big Pharma

In every industry you look at, the great consolidation is there with a handful of enterprises controlling the entire vertical to orchestrate messaging (propaganda) and push the Great Narrative, capture regulatory agencies, demand immunity from litigation, and rake in government funding.

The pharmaceutical industry, military contractors, and the technology sector are no exception.

You will find people from the think tanks and gatherings of the kleptocracy embedded in all of these powerful and influential industries. In his farewell speech, President Dwight Eisenhower warned of the rise of the military-industrial complex. Less well known, he also warned about a scientific-technological elite. Very prescient.

In the past few years, the medical cartel devastated the globe. The tech sector wields untenable power since the explosion of Silicon Valley.

Big Pharma gobbled headlines during the Covid “scamdemic”. Moderna and Pfizer are making billions off their experimental mRNA injections.

Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Technologies, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics were the top five defense contractors in 2025. These groups are always happy when war breaks out across the world because they make millions in weapons sales.

Let’s not forget companies like Halliburton reap massive profits as the no-bid, monopoly contractor of choice for post-war cleanup and infrastructure rebuild.

Big Tech is leading the charge for the obliteration of privacy, tracking and tracing for future technocratic totalitarian control, big-time censorship, and creation of an entire generation of dopamine-addicted social media zombies. You know the names: Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Oracle, and Amazon. But did you know that most of them started as tools for the military? Don’t believe the founder stories of scrappy geniuses launching from their parent’s garages.

The CIA and NSA funded Google as part of their Massive Digital Data Services project. The leadership remained cozy with intelligence agencies throughout its rapid rise.

Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) was running a program called Lifelog, which tracked and traced US citizens’ entire digital life and connected it with offline data points. They shut down in February 2004 because they feared blowback for spying on their citizens. Mark Zuckerberg publicly launched the first iteration of Facebook on the same day Lifelog shut down. Hmmm.

Besides crushing small businesses across the United States, Amazon is also developing facial recognition software called Rekognition. And, of course, they developed and shipped the in-home spy technology, Alexa, we all know and love.

Foundations: Great Way To Evade Taxes And Push Policy

Norman Dodd discovered a lot of wild stuff about the foundations he researched for the Reece Committee in 1954. Rowan Gaither, President of the Ford Foundation, articulated his non-profit’s mandate to Dodd:

“Use our grant-making power to alter life in the United States so it can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union.”

Of course, this was not shared with the general public.

In 1908, the President of the Carnegie Endowment said their mission was to alter the culture of the US, and that there was no better way than war to accomplish this. The US entered WWI in 1917.

Today, when thinking about non-profit malfeasance the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation comes to mind. They drive numerous horrific initiatives: vaccines, GMOs, climate change, AI, and funding media conglomerates to focus their reporting on these issues (objectively of course). For all of this world-saving philanthropy, Gates gets airtime whenever he wants to pontificate on issues he has no authority to speak on.

Open Society Foundation (OSF) funded by George Soros’ billions primarily funds NGOs, which orchestrate color revolutions in strategic geopolitical regions to foment dissent and lay the groundwork for revolution or regime change.

Let’s not forget the shifty Clinton Foundation. Approved for one purpose, to fund Clinton’s presidential library, it promptly used the tax-exempt status and philanthropic veneer to run rackets across the globe pretending to care for those with AIDS and suffering from natural disasters like in Haiti.

NGOs Are Proxies For The State Department And Intelligence Agencies

Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are the subversive boots on the ground for the globalist army working under the banner of spreading democracy. It’s interesting they named NGOs so on the nose. Look, we in no way are part of any government. We are non-governmental. No government tells us what to do. Got that? Sure thing.

NGOs give a friendly face to the dirty business of covert operations.

Allen Weinstein, founder of the Center for Democracy (1984) said: “A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA.”

This is roughly how it works:

They catch someone in Iran working regime change angles with CIA money and connections to the CIA station chief in Tehran. There is huge blowback against the United States, which hampers or endangers future imperialist efforts.

It’s better to have a third party like the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) with a vague provenance of indoctrinating youths in targeted countries (Iraq, Iran, Syria etc) under the cover of altruistic humanitarian aid and ‘liberating’ their civilians.

In reality, it is the privatization of US intelligence. NGOs are beautiful undercover vehicles for these types of destabilization operations, which pave the way for civil unrest, revolution, and regime change.

In 2015, Russia caught on to this nonsense and banned NED as an “undesirable NGO,” and Soros’ Open Society Foundations as a “threat to the foundations of Russia’s Constitutional order and national security.”

The Managerial Class

Think of the elite movers and shakers as the “managerial class.” Some estimate that there are only 6,000-7,000 in operation at any one time.

It doesn’t take many people to execute on these big, hairy, earth-shaping plans. Stephen Schwarzman, former CEO of Blackstone Group said: “The world is pretty small … In almost every one of the areas in which I am dealing or in which we at Blackstone are looking at deals, you find it is just twenty, thirty, or fifty people worldwide who ultimately drive the industry or the sector.”

You get the critical few on board and compartmentalize the work, so the full picture is not clear to the underlings, who are executing their discrete piece of the agenda.

There may be dissension in the ranks of the middle managers. They may jockey for position or disagree on implementation strategies, or who should have a more prominent role, but they are all pointing toward the same ultimate goal.

It’s like mafia families controlling different rackets or geographic locations, who fight turf wars, but never cross the line to jeopardize the foundation of organized crime.

The Top Of The Pyramid Of Power

There’s a great deal of speculation on who sits at the summit of the pyramid of power that rules the world. I don’t know. You don’t know. Nobody knows.

“Real power is unelected. Politicians change, but the power structure does not. The Network is composed of individuals who prefer anonymity. They are ‘satisfied to possess the reality rather than the appearance of power.’ This approach of secretly exercising power is common throughout history because it protects the conspirators from the consequences of their actions.”

It’s obvious there is a coordinated agenda. I speculate there’s an upper echelon of folks that hash out the world domination agenda at a heavy wooden table in a spacious hall. This roadmap for the world is then disseminated through the secret society channels to the middle managers, whose names and faces you know if you’re paying attention.

Does Soros sit at that table? Freemasons? Is there a Rothschild contingent? Are the dynastic families represented? Or is there a level above that? We may never know.

I do know that evil drives the moves they make. Satan plays a big role. Evidence keeps stacking showing a Luciferian and Satanic influence in the upper echelons, that much is clear.

These people do not have your best interest at heart. You are a pawn on their world-wide chess board.

So, who do you think fits into this category? Who do you believe is a ‘they’? Let me know in the comments. Let’s chat about it.

If you’re tired of being told everything is fine while it clearly isn’t, you’re exactly why this publication exists.

On August 10, 1991, Danny Casolaro was found lying dead in a tub of bloody water in a hotel room in Martinsburg, West Virginia.

The cause of death was ruled a suicide. However, the crime scene evidence makes clear that Casolaro was murdered.

Prior to his death, Casolaro had been investigating the nefarious activities of a corrupt cabal in the CIA linked to then-President George H.W. Bush and was planning to publish a tell-all book called “The Octopus.”

One of the key chapters was going to focus on a drug and arms-smuggling operation using the Australian-based Nugan Hand Bank, which was founded in 1973 and staffed by people with military backgrounds, who had links at a high level with American intelligence operations.

Nugan Hand made its money by charging high fees for performing illegal and shady services (including moving money overseas, flouting Australia’s and other countries’ laws, and tax avoidance schemes) and from the fraudulent procurement and subsequent misappropriation of investments from the public.

CIA whistleblower, Victor Marchetti, wrote that Nugan Hand’s favors for the CIA included providing cover for operators, laundering money, and establishing cutouts for clandestine activity the Agency did not want to be publicly identified with—including gun running to apartheid South Africa and Southern Rhodesia in violation of arms embargos.

Casolaro had been planning a trip to Australia to interview key figures associated with the bank, including Bernie Houghton, a top CIA man from Texas who joined Nugan Hand’s staff in 1978 and established its Saudi Arabian branch.

An Air Force cadet in World War II who flew opium out of the Golden Triangle in C-47 cargo planes during the Vietnam War, Houghton had established the Bourbon & Beefsteak, a gathering place for U.S. soldiers on R&R from Vietnam, whose private guests included Sydney mob boss Abe Saffron and John D. Walker, the CIA’s Australian Station Chief from 1973 to 1975.

Besides Houghton, Casolaro hoped to interview members of an Australian parliamentary commission that had investigated the Nugan Hand Bank and helped expose its criminal activities. Casolaro further intended to interview Nugan Hand Bank co-founder Michael Jon Hand, a decorated Green Beret in Vietnam and CIA contract agent who trained hill tribesmen in Vietnam and Laos and fled Australia after the Nugan Hand Bank’s collapse in January 1980.

Already, Casolaro had amassed significant evidence of Nugan Hand’s function as a beachhead for drug and money-laundering operations run by Mafia-connected CIA operatives who were part of President George H.W. Bush’s “secret team.”

These CIA operatives included key figures in the Iran-Contra arms-drug-smuggling operations who had also coordinated drug-trafficking operations in the Golden Triangle region during the Indochina War: a) Theodore Shackley, the CIA Station chief in Vientiane, Laos during the Indochina War who had worked as a translator for Nazi spy chief Reinhard Gehlen after his recruitment into the CIA; b) Thomas Clines, who knew Hand from his days as CIA Chief of Station in Laos and oversaw the running of death squads in East Timor in the 1970s; and c) Richard Secord, another veteran of the secret war in Laos implicated in the Iran-Contra affair, who worked closely with Bernie Houghton.

Other key CIA figures associated with the Nugan Hand Bank were:

• Paul Helliwell, CIA paymaster and Mafia liaison

• Walt McDonald, CIA Deputy Director of Economic Research and a CIA petroleum expert who was a sailing partner of John Paisley, the CIA’s top expert on Soviet military strength

• William Colby, the CIA Director from 1973 to 1976 who had served as Nugan Hand’s Washington-based legal adviser

Colby’s business card was found in the Mercedes-Benz of Nugan Hand Bank co-founder Frank Nugan on January 27, 1980, outside Lithgow, New South Wales, where Nugan was found shot with a .30 caliber rifle in an apparent murder that was made to look like a suicide. At the time, Nugan—whose gun had been wiped clean of fingerprints—was facing charges of stock fraud.

Merchants of Menace

New details about the Nugan Hand Bank were revealed in Peter Butt’s book, Merchants of Menace: The True Story of the Nugan Hand Bank Scandal, published in 2015.

Butt is an investigative filmmaker whose research uncovered that the Nugan Hand Bank was involved with gun-running and money-laundering for drug traffickers, including ones that worked with the CIA, and that the bank was used as a paymaster for CIA black operations.

Butt quoted Neil Evans, an employee of the Nugan Bank office in Hong Kong, who said that money was deposited with the Nugan Hand Bank by the CIA and that Nugan Hand was the repository for funds coming from various CIA enterprises, including drugs in Thailand, and that the Nugan Hand Bank rerouted that money to the account of a Bank in New York.

Michael Hand had told Evans that he and Houghton were actively working for the CIA, whom Evans described as “the heaviest people on Earth; life was ultra-cheap to them.”

Hand’s CIA-related activities with Nugan Hand Bank included arms-trading deals to U.S. intelligence-supported forces in Angola and his serving as a liaison to Khun Sa, a drug kingpin in the Golden Triangle, who had a reciprocal arrangement by which he sold heroin to U.S. intelligence operatives who supplied him with arms.

Andrew Lowe, who acted as a translator at meetings between Hand and Khun Sa, claimed that Hand had boasted to Khun Sa about working for the CIA in Laos during the Vietnam War and how heroin was shipped out of Laos hidden in the bodies of dead American servicemen. Lowe said that the outcome of Hand’s meeting with Khun Sa was their development of a plan to import 500 pounds of heroin from Bangkok to the U.S., which Hand was to help arrange.

In 1973, Federal Bureau of Narcotics (FBN) Agent Phil Bailey had received a phone call from a Sydney lawyer who said that four Americans—including Hand and an Air America pilot named Bud King—were involved in a drug-smuggling ring.

Bailey’s subsequent investigation revealed that the Nugan Hand Bank had explicitly opened a branch in Chiang Mai, the heroin capital of the Golden Triangle, to attract drug money, and that bank employees involved in laundering drug money socialized with CIA Station Chief for Thailand Red Jantzen, a friend of Nugan Hand Bank President Admiral Earl “Buddy” Yates, who was offered a job at Nugan Hand Bank.

Butt quoted from Australian parliamentary investigations which uncovered that the Nugan Hand Bank had laundered money for as many as 40 drug-trafficking syndicates, including a major one in Asia headed by Terrance J. Clark.

One of Nugan Hand’s favored clients was the Shah of Iran, a U.S. proxy installed in a 1953 CIA coup, who deposited $100 billion that he had stolen from Iranian oil companies in the bank’s Cayman Islands Branch.

The Costigan Commission—an Australian commission headed by lawyer Frank Costigan—found that Nugan Hand had helped the Shah further by facilitating the sale of a U.S. Navy spy ship to the Shah’s regime as it was in the grip of the Islamic revolution.

Another favored client was CIA operative Edwin Wilson, to whom the bank offered a $22 million line of credit for weapons-smuggling operations that Wilson ran into Libya with the assistance of Patry E. Loomis, a key liaison between Nugan Hand and the CIA.

The Costigan Commission found that Wilson supplied weapons and ammunition in 1975-1976 to Michael Hand in Africa, which were provided to rebels backed by the CIA in Angola.

It further found that Wilson had association with an Australian pilot connected to the Nugan Hand Bank, Christopher Brading, who had also been a pilot for the CIA’s Air America airline during the Indochina Wars, and that Wilson was involved in arms smuggling with a Melbourne businessman associated with Nugan Hand.

Wilson told Daniel Sheehan, a lawyer with the Christic Institute which investigated CIA corruption, that Nugan Hand Bank was founded after CIA agents Carl E. Jenkins and Richard Secord had brought suitcases filled with cash from Laos to start the bank.

The money came from drug-trafficking operations out of the Golden Triangle run by General Vang Pao, the head of the CIA’s clandestine Hmong army, which was mobilized to fight against the Communist Pathet Lao.

According to Sheeham, Theodore Shackley played a key role in setting up the Nugan Hand bank, not only to launder drug profits from the Golden Triangle but also as a means of financing the Phoenix Operation, a terrorist program resulting in the death of over 20,000 Vietnamese.

Doug Sapper, a Vietnam Special Forces veteran who helped Nugan Hand set up its Chiang Mai office, said that Nugan Hand Bank was “the conduit bank for the CIA for both moving money in, and moving it around for somebody that they wanted in their pocket, including despotic dictators.” Asked why the U.S. government would want to support the latter, Sapper replied: “I’ll tell you why—because when you’ve got their money, you’ve got their balls. You own them.”

On December 7, 1982, an undisclosed source advised an Australian Joint Task Force that Hand was employed as a U.S. military adviser to Honduras’s elite Puma Battalion, which fought in Nicaragua against the socialist Sandinistas that the Reagan administration sought to undermine. Butt writes that, “for Hand to slot back into such a role suggests that he had never ceased his association with the CIA.”

Twenty-five years later, Butt tracked Hand to Idaho Falls, a small city in Idaho with a population of 67,000 where he ran a company that manufactured knives and other tactical weapons used by Special Operations forces, SWAT teams and law enforcement agencies.

Hand was easy to track down because he was using the same social security number that he had always had. This indicates that he was a protected CIA asset who could have easily been prosecuted for his crimes while at Nugan Hand Bank or extradited to Australia if there were a will to do so.

Butt emphasizes at the end of his book the corrupting influence of Nugan Hand Bank in Australia.

An Australian Supreme Court Judge said that Nugan Hand’s support for the drug trade in Australia led to “an enormous change in direction for Australia once you deal with the transport of money for drugs. Once you are dealing with corrupt governments and the CIA, then Australia is in a new league. At the time, I don’t think people quite realized what was involved because the CIA were the good guys and we were mates of America and all of that. This was a change of direction from which we could never go back. The penny ante organized crime was nothing compared to this.”

Investigation by Peter Osborne

Peter Osborne is a former science adviser to the Australian government who picked up on Danny Casolaro’s investigation into Nugan Hand and other operations of the “secret team” after his encryption venture, established with the Australian government and UN, was destroyed in the CIA’s Operation Stillpoint because it had an encryption key that the National Security Agency (NSA) could not infiltrate.

Osborne has produced a podcast, “The CIA and Mafia’s Partnership with Nugan Hand Bank” and several follow-ups, which detailed Nugan Hand’s use of Australia as a base to bring drugs produced in the Golden Triangle into the U.S.

Osborne interviewed Michael Riconosciuto, a CIA whistleblower, who told him that Barry Smith, an associate of Robert Booth Nichols, a CIA-Mafia figure and chairman of the Meridian Arms Corporation, found through research into interlocking directorates a deep connection between Nugan Hand Bank and Wackenhut, a private security company founded by an ex-FBI agent that carried out covert operations for the CIA.

Bobby Ray Inman, the CIA Deputy Director in 1981-1982 was a director of Wackenhut along with Frank Carlucci, Deputy Director of Intelligence under Jimmy Carter and Defense Secretary under Ronald Reagan.

Smith also found that Paul Morasca, a Gambino crime family money launderer who was found hogtied and fatally strangled in his San Francisco condo in 1982, held the secret covert international account numbers of the Nugan Hand Bank containing hundreds of millions in drug money for Michael Hand. Morasca worked with Hand to move funds from the Nugan Hand Bank that were to be used in covert operations by the CIA’s secret team.

Morasca’s operation was run out of the Cabazon casino in Riverside, California—owned by Thomas Marson of the Gambino Mafia and CIA officer Dr. John P. Nichols. This is where Riconosciuto had modified PROMIS software that was used by the CIA to create the SWIFT banking system that could allow for monitoring of all banking transactions and efficient money laundering.

Michael Hand’s Mafia associates included Harry Wainwright, a fugitive American lawyer who coordinated a large-scale marijuana-smuggling plot out of Australia, and Murray Stewart Riley, who used the Nugan Hand Bank to launder funds. An Olympic rower who became a large-scale drug trafficker after he was implicated in a police corruption scandal, Riley was found with Hand’s Hong Kong phone number when he was arrested by police.

Australian police investigations after the Nugan Hand Bank’s collapse in 1980 uncovered telexes indicating dealings between Hand and Henry Eugene Bartholomeusz, a Sydney shipping executive who was arrested and charged by Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in 1974 with smuggling $4 million worth of heroin into the U.S. from Thailand.

After his arrest, Bartholomeusz was released from custody and went back to Australia where he established the country’s largest arms business. Among other things, it sold Cobra helicopters, minesweepers, Exocet missiles and enriched uranium for use in atomic weapons as well as atomic bombs, which Bartholomeusz sold to the Saudis.

Osborne believes that Bartholomeusz ran a huge CIA arms and drug-trafficking network out of Australia, though a police detective remembered Bartholomeusz as ”not a very good con-man.”

Australia’s Costigan Commission concluded that Australia was being used as a staging post for the movement of illegal cargo on the international market, with shipments of drugs from Australia having much less chance of being checked at a U.S. port than if they came from Asia or the Middle East. Another commission, headed by Judge Carlo Palermo in Italy, concluded that the CIA was involved in carrying out illicit drug- and arms-trafficking using Australia as a base.

The CIA refused to cooperate with the Costigan and other Australian government commissions and, ultimately, had the Costigan Commission shut down.

Osborne interviewed Desiree “Dee” Carone-Ferdinand, the daughter of CIA-Mafia liaison Colonel Albert V. Carone, who said that her father knew both Frank Nugan and Michael Hand and used the Nugan Hand Bank to launder money with General Leroy J. Manor, chief of staff for the U.S. Pacific Command and a U.S. government liaison with Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos, General Richard G. Stillwell and Paul Helliwell, for black operations not sanctioned by the U.S. government, including those financed through the drug trade.

Osborne further reported that the head of Nugan Hand’s Washington, D.C., branch, General Erle Cocke, Jr., a former head of the American Legion and special consultant to Iran-Contra arms smuggler Adnan Khashoggi, gave a deposition to the New York District Court ten days before his death from pancreatic cancer in April 2000 during which he admitted involvement in clandestine banking operations for the U.S. government.

These operations included Project Hammer, a continuation of the operations of the Nugan Hand Bank, which siphoned billions of dollars derived from illegal arms and drug trading and other operations so the funds could be diverted into covert military operations.

Project Hammer additionally generated funds to pay off debts on bullion certificates issued by certain metal trusts and to rescue numerous major U.S. and international banks that were teetering on the brink of bankruptcy in the late 1980s.

According to Osborne, the Nugan Hand Bank owned gold mining companies—Recovery Technologies Inc. (Gold and Precious Metals Mining in Australia), Southern Goldfields, Mining Resources, and Cooper Creek Mining and Exploration—through a sophisticated financial arrangement coordinated in part by Peter Briggs, a Perth businessman with CIA connections. Briggs had purchased some of the companies from Sydney crime boss Abe Saffron and hired as a solicitor John Aston, who was involved with the Nugan Hand Bank and Terrance Clark (aka Mr. Asia)’s drug syndicate.

The gold-mining companies brought gold into Australia that had been mined in Utah and were used as a front for the Nugan Hand Bank and CIA and their associated organized crime networks to launder money from the smuggling of precious metals and gold bullion.

Project Hammer was overseen by A.B. Krongard, Executive Director of the CIA from 2001 to 2004, CIA liaison with Blackwater and Vice Chairman of Bankers Trust, which is where Philippines dictator Ferdinand Marcos had deposited 50 tons of gold bullion that he had stolen from the Japanese at the end of World War II.

Nugan Hand was used by Marcos to secretly launder his gold bullion, which was secretly flown into the Pine Gap spy base in Western Australia run by the NSA.

The head of the Nugan Hand Bank’s Philippine branch, LeRoy J. Manor, who had been a liaison to Marcos, was a key figure in the operation along with Robert Booth Nichols, who represented $1 billion gold bullion certificates in Switzerland owned by Marcos.

At one point, Nichols threatened Osborne’s life, warning him that his investigations were upsetting powerful neoconservatives in Washington. Nichols was also involved in training Osama bin Laden, according to Osborne.

Secret Criminal History

The history of the Nugan Hand Bank offers a window into the corrupt, secret history of the CIA and its involvement in systemic criminal activity as an adjunct of organized crime.

Through its representatives in the media and Hollywood, the CIA has done a great job in covering up the truth about its past and presenting itself before the American public as a heroic organization devoted to protecting American national security and rooting out evil in the world.

However, it is the CIA that has carried out evil deeds under the false veneer of protecting national security and which has routinely violated U.S. and international law.

Sadly, only two persons associated with the Nugan Hand Bank were ever prosecuted for any crimes—a secretary, Patricia Swan, and a lawyer, Michael Maloney, who was charged with conspiring with Michael Hand in the willful destruction of the Bank’s records.

But Hand has never gone to jail and has prospered as a manufacturer of tactical weaponry for Special Forces officers for the last four decades.

He is one of the protected species of Agency operatives who can commit among the worst crimes imaginable with impunity—while others rot for years in jail for far less offenses in a two-tiered justice system whose hypocrisy knows no bounds.

President Trump has no problem criticizing, condemning, insulting, demonizing and threatening those who refuse to fall in line.

He has branded political opponents “communists,” denounced critics as anti-American, lashed out at NATO allies, threatened to cut off trade with Spain, and referred to Iran’s leaders as “scum” amid the ongoing war.

In Trump’s America, the president is free to call other nations bad actors, label his opponents dangerous, and treat disagreement as betrayal.

But dare to criticize Trump, his administration, ICE, the police state, the war machine, the surveillance state, or the government’s steady assault on the Constitution, and you may find yourself treated as the threat.

This is the hypocrisy of the moment: those in power claim an unlimited right to criticize everyone else, while increasingly denying the people the right to criticize them.

Criticize the government, question the police state, object to ICE raids, oppose war, challenge corruption, reject propaganda, refuse to salute the party line, or insist that public officials obey the Constitution, and you may find yourself accused of being anti-American, extremist, subversive, ungrateful, communist, terrorist-adjacent or worse.

This is how free speech dies: not all at once, but by redefining dissent as disloyalty.

Yet the First Amendment was not written to mandate flattery and applause for those in power. It was written to safeguard the right of the people to criticize, condemn, expose, challenge and resist government abuses without fear of being investigated, surveilled, threatened, prosecuted or treated like enemies of the state.

The American Revolution itself began as an act of criticism.

The Declaration of Independence was a bill of complaints against a government that had abused its power, violated the rights of the people, used the military to intimidate civilians, obstructed justice, imposed unjust burdens, and treated resistance as rebellion.

By today’s standards, the Founders would likely be labeled extremists, agitators, radicals, anti-government dissidents and threats to national security.

What was once rebellion against tyranny is now being recast as a warning sign of extremism.

That is the police state’s playbook for discrediting dissent: start with finger-pointing and name-calling, then turn criticism into subversion, dissent into danger, and those who demand accountability into enemies of the state.

On cue, President Trump and his allies have increasingly wrapped political opposition in the language of extremism, communism, terrorism and anti-Americanism.

The government’s increasing tendency to equate dissent with danger should alarm every American, regardless of party.

We have already seen what this looks like.

Americans who criticize ICE online, write angry emails to government officials, document raids, protest enforcement actions, or speak out against official misconduct increasingly risk visits, warnings, subpoenas, surveillance or investigations by the government’s secret police.

The government does not need to jail everyone in order to silence a population. It only needs to make examples of a few.

A knock on the door. A warning from agents. A subpoena. A phone call from law enforcement. A file opened. A name entered into a database. A social media post flagged. A protest monitored. A journalist questioned. A nonprofit investigated. A student visa threatened. A donor list scrutinized. A museum audited. A professor disciplined. A mayor denounced as anti-American. A citizen taught to think twice before speaking again.

This is how a free people are trained to censor themselves.

Let us be clear: violence and true threats can and should be investigated. No one has a constitutional right to assault, threaten, stalk, bomb, kill or terrorize.

But criticism is not violence. Anger is not terrorism. Dissent is not extremism. Opposition is not treason. Petitioning the government for redress of grievances is not a crime. It is the essence of citizenship.

Yet every administration, sooner or later, discovers the convenience of labeling its critics as threats.

Richard Nixon kept enemy lists. George W. Bush gave us the Patriot Act, warrantless surveillance, watchlists and the language of “with us or against us.” Barack Obama targeted whistleblowers. Joe Biden’s administration leaned on agencies and platforms in the name of combatting misinformation and domestic extremism.

Donald Trump has taken all of that machinery and openly aimed it at political enemies, protesters, immigrants, journalists, universities, museums, law firms and anyone else who refuses to bow.

The right to criticize government cannot be treated as a partisan indulgence.

No matter which party holds power, the people must be free to criticize the government.

This is the great danger of the moment.

We are being told that patriotism requires amnesia.

That is a lie.

Real patriotism is not worship of government. Real patriotism is not loyalty to a president. Real patriotism is not blind obedience to police. Real patriotism is not a flag big enough to cover up injustice.

Real patriotism is the willingness to tell the truth about your country because you believe it can and must be better.

Those who criticize America are often the only ones still taking America seriously.

When the government claims the power to decide what history may be taught, what speech may be tolerated, what criticism may be investigated, what protest may be monitored, what viewpoint may be flagged, and what truths may be spoken, the people have a duty to push back.

We must insist that the First Amendment protects the speech government hates most. We must insist that criticizing ICE is not a crime. We must insist that criticizing the president is not treason. We must insist that criticizing police is not extremism. We must insist that criticizing America’s failures is not anti-American. We must insist that history belongs to the people, not to politicians. We must insist that no president, no agency, no party and no bureaucrat gets to decide what patriotism requires.

We must insist that the Constitution means what it says.

After all, the government works for us—not the other way around. The moment Americans forget that, the experiment in self-government is over.

So criticize the government.

Criticize it loudly. Criticize it relentlessly.

Criticize it when it spies, lies, censors, raids, detains, prosecutes, propagandizes, militarizes, profiteers and abuses.

Criticize it when it rewrites history, calls truth anti-American, mistakes obedience for patriotism, and forgets that “We the People” are the masters and the government is the servant.

That is the duty of a free people.

The police state does not need everyone to agree with it. It only needs enough people to fear disagreeing with it.

We do not owe the government our silence.

We owe the Constitution our vigilance.

A phenomenal essay by John W. Whitehead, founder and president of The Rutherford Institute. Information about The Rutherford Institute is available at www.rutherford.org.

For fifteen years, JPMorgan Chase, America’s largest bank, didn’t just ignore red flags about its client, Jeffrey Epstein; it actively provided the financial architecture for his global sex trafficking enterprise. The complicity wasn’t hidden in complex ledgers; it was a subject of casual humor among the bank’s most senior executives.

In 2012 a senior executive joked to Mary Erdoes—the current CEO of Asset & Wealth Management and a potential successor to JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon—that a client’s home had “fewer nymphettes” than Epstein’s. This email exists in federal court records, which means that the rape of children was office humor at the largest bank in America. It was casual enough to put in writing, and the woman who received it went on to be considered for the CEO position rather than facing any meaningful consequence for what that email reveals about the culture she was operating inside of.

But their knowledge went beyond jokes. The bank’s own internal files noted that Jeffrey Epstein had “purchased” a 14-year-old girl. JPMorgan Chase then proceeded to process over $600,000 in payments from Epstein directly to this documented victim of child trafficking.

This is not an accusation. This is a presentation of the bank’s own record. And let us be clear: the purpose of this brief is not merely to recount history. It is to issue a direct challenge to the system of elite immunity that JPMorgan Chase represents—the same system that pressures platforms to silence dissent and protects its own, no matter the crime. We present this evidence to ask a simple question: Is America’s largest bank an instrument of the law, or is it now the law itself? We are lighting a fire. We invite them to try and put it out.

The Indictment

I want to be clear about what JPMorgan’s own internal documents show in this case because this is not speculation and it is not circumstantial; it is what the bank’s own files recorded and what federal court proceedings have made part of the public record.

The evidence proves JPMorgan Chase was not a passive institution but an active co-conspirator. The case is as follows:

COUNT I: THE SCALE OF THE ENTERPRISE

• Duration: A 15-year criminal partnership, from 1998 to 2013.

• Infrastructure: Epstein controlled at least 55 separate accounts through the bank.

• Volume: Over $1.1 billion was processed, making him a cornerstone client whose profits were deliberately protected.

COUNT II: THE MECHANISM OF ABUSE

• Direct Complicity: JPMC knowingly processed payments to over 20 of Epstein’s named victims and key recruiters.

• Child Trafficking: This includes hundreds of thousands of dollars paid to a victim their own files noted Epstein had “purchased” at age 14.

• Untraceable Funding: The bank facilitated constant, large-scale cash withdrawals used as the primary payment method for the crimes.

COUNT III: THE WILLFUL CONSPIRACY

• Ignored Warnings: The compliance department repeatedly flagged Epstein’s accounts for human trafficking.

• Executive Veto: These warnings were systematically overruled by senior executives, including Jes Staley, who personally intervened to protect the relationship.

• Motive: This was a conscious conspiracy of silence to protect a highly profitable client.

COUNT IV: THE UNBROKEN PATTERN OF CRIMINALITY

• The Precedent: Under CEO Jamie Dimon, JPMC is the most fined bank in American history, having paid $38-$40 billion for other systemic crimes.

• The “Punishment”: The $365 million Epstein settlement is not justice; it is a statistically insignificant line item in their budget—the calculated cost of doing business.

COUNT V: THE ABSOLUTE IMPUNITY OF THE ELITE

• Zero Consequences: Not one senior executive has faced legal ramifications for enabling 15 years of sex trafficking.

• Executive Protection: Mary Erdoes, who received the “nymphettes” email, remains a top contender for CEO.

• Plausible Deniability: CEO Jamie Dimon testified under oath that he had never even heard the name Jeffrey Epstein before 2019.

Rules For Thee, But Not For Me

What I think is important to understand here, and what gets lost when this story gets framed purely as a “banking scandal,” is that the institutional failure at JPMorgan did not exist in isolation but was part of a much broader pattern of official protection that surrounded Epstein for decades and that implicates institutions well beyond a single bank.

The DOJ gave Epstein a sweetheart plea deal in 2008 that should have ended careers and prompted serious questions about who was being protected and why. The FBI sat on evidence for years. The Treasury Department received suspicious activity flags from JPMorgan as early as 2002 and did nothing with them: no investigation, no follow up, no phone call, just pure silence. That is either catastrophic institutional incompetence or something considerably more deliberate, and given everything else we know about how this operation was protected across multiple administrations and multiple agencies, incompetence starts to feel like a generous interpretation.

The bank eventually filed a Suspicious Activity Report with the Treasury flagging over a billion dollars in Epstein transactions as related to human trafficking, and they filed it after he was arrested and after he was dead, sixteen years after the compliance officers first started raising flags that kept getting pushed back into drawers, which a United States Virgin Islands lawyer accurately described as “CYA reporting after 16 years,” a final piece of paperwork designed to create the appearance of eventual compliance while the actual compliance window had long since closed.

What Was Epstein Actually Worth To The Bank?

Here is the question that the financial press has shown almost no interest in asking: how much money Epstein was generating for JPMorgan that the largest bank in America was willing to risk federal exposure to keep the relationship alive, because compliance officers screaming human trafficking and executives overruling them doesn’t happen for a client with a savings account and a modest portfolio.

Unsealed court documents show that Epstein helped JPMorgan recruit ultra high net worth clients, including according to internal emails the Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, which means he wasn’t just a client but a concierge for the billionaire class. Epstein was someone whose value to the bank extended far beyond his own accounts into the network of extraordinarily wealthy people he could deliver, and whose implicit introduction fee was a willingness to look the other way at what he did with the children.

He was the golden goose, and the golden eggs were covered in something nobody at the bank wanted to look at too closely. And the institutional decision to keep processing his transactions was not made by people who didn’t understand what they were doing, but by people who understood exactly what they were doing and decided that the financial upside was worth the moral cost, which is a different kind of evil than ignorance and considerably harder to explain away.

JPMorgan paid 290 million dollars to victims and 75 million dollars to the US Virgin Islands, for a total settlement of 365 million dollars, and that number sounds significant until you place it in context:
JPMorgan Chase has paid between 38 and 40 billion dollars in fines for various crimes under Dimon’s leadership, making the Epstein settlement less than 1% of their total fine history, less than a rounding error, less than what the institution spends on executive compensation in a quarter, a number so small relative to the scale of what it was settling that it functions not as punishment, but as a cost of doing business. A line item that gets absorbed and forgotten while the institution continues operating exactly as it did before.

After this ruling, nobody went to prison, nobody got fired, and the woman who received the nymphette email is being considered for the top job. The man who says he never heard Epstein’s name is still running the show. The compliance officers who tried to do the right thing and got overruled are presumably still somewhere in the building, or they left. Either way, nothing changed.

Perhaps the biggest question is not really about JPMorgan at all, but about the scale of what Epstein was actually running and who it was running for.

You don’t need a billion dollar banking infrastructure to abuse children by yourself. You need it because the operation was industrial in scale, because the flight logs are full of the most powerful names on the planet. Because the island had a temple on it, because the ranch in New Mexico had underground levels that have never been adequately explained, and because 20,000 facilitated rapes is not one man’s perversion but a service industry for a ruling class that apparently needed someone to handle the logistics.

The question of how many of the most powerful people on the planet were involved in this and are not in prison because the people who would need to prosecute them were on the same flights and at the same parties is not a paranoid question, it is the only question that the scale of the operation logically produces. And the fact that it remains largely unasked by the institutions with the power to answer it tells you something important about the nature of those institutions and whose interests they actually serve.

Remember, this isn’t about Trump or the Left or the Right, it’s about power in general.

Our system is not broken. It is working exactly as designed: rewarding those who protect power and punishing those who threaten it, and the Epstein story is perhaps the clearest single illustration of that dynamic that exists in the public record. A case where the evidence was documented, the flags were raised, the compliance officers did their jobs, and the system at every level: the bank, the DOJ, the FBI, the Treasury, chose the money and the connections OVER THE CHILDREN and then paid a fine smaller than its catering budget and called it accountability.

We’re not just dealing with insane people, we’re dealing with a system that incentivizes insane decisions and is optimized by putting insane people at the top.

📌 THE POCKET RAZOR

• The Scale 🔪 : For 15 years, JPMC wasn’t just a bank; with 55 accounts and over $1.1 billion in transactions, it served as the central nervous system for Epstein’s global sex trafficking ring.

• The Mechanism 🔪 : They knowingly acted as the payroll department for a predator, processing payments to over 20 victims, including a girl their own files noted was “purchased” at age 14.

• The Conspiracy 🔪 : This was not a mistake. Internal compliance officers repeatedly flagged Epstein for human trafficking, but senior executives personally overruled them to protect the profits.

• The Pattern 🔪 : With over $38 billion in prior fines for other crimes, their complicity with Epstein wasn’t an anomaly—it’s their business model. The settlement was a rounding error.

• The Impunity 🔪 : CEO Jamie Dimon testified he’d never heard of Epstein. Mary Erdoes, who received the infamous “nymphettes” email, is now a top contender for CEO. For the elite, there are no consequences.

Remember: the case of JPMorgan Chase is not an isolated story of corporate greed; it is a perfect schematic of how the system protects its most powerful members. They operate with impunity because they believe you are too distracted, confused, or powerless to notice. They are wrong. Understanding the mechanics of their corruption—the deliberate overruling of compliance, the performative fines, the absolute lack of consequences—is the first step in dismantling their fortress.

On November 22, 1996, the US Justice Department indicted General Ramón Guillén Davila of Venezuela on charges of importing cocaine into the United States. The federal prosecutors alleged that while heading Venezuela’s anti-drug unit, General Guillén smuggled more than 22 tons of cocaine into the US and Europe for the Calí and Bogotá cartels. Guillén responded to the indictment from the sanctuary of Caracas, where his government refused to extradict him to Miami, while honoring him with a pardon for any possible crimes committed in the line of duty.

The General maintained that the cocaine shipments to the US had been approved by the CIA, and went on to say that “some drugs were lost and neither the CIA nor the DEA want to accept any responsibility for it.”

U.S. Government Is The Largest Drug Trafficking Organization In The World

The CIA had hired Guillén in 1988 to help it investigate the Colombian drug cartels. The Agency and Guillén set up a drug-smuggling operation using agents of Guillén’s in the Venezuelan National Guard to buy cocaine from the Calí cartel and ship it to Venezuela, where it was stored in warehouses maintained by the Narcotics Intelligence Center, Caracas, which was run by Guillén and entirely funded by the CIA.

To avoid the Calí cartel asking inconvenient questions about the growing inventory of cocaine in the Narcotics Intelligence Center’s warehouses and, as one CIA agent put it, “to keep our credibility with the traffickers,” the CIA decided it was politic to let some of the cocaine proceed on to the cartel’s network of dealers in the US.

As another CIA agent put it, they wanted “to let the dope walk” – in other words, to allow it to be sold on the streets of Miami, New York and Los Angeles.

When it comes to what are called “controlled shipments” of drugs into the US, federal law requires that such imports have DEA approval, which the CIA duly sought. This was, however, denied by the DEA attaché in Caracas. The CIA then went to DEA headquarters in Washington, only to be met with a similar refusal, whereupon the CIA went ahead with the shipment anyway. One of the CIA men working with Guillén was Mark McFarlin. In 1989 McFarlin, so he later testified in federal court in Miami, told his CIA station chief in Caracas that the Guillén operation, already under way, had just seen 3,000 pounds of cocaine shipped to the US. When the station chief asked McFarlin if the DEA was aware of this, McFarlin answered no. “Let’s keep it that way,” the station chief instructed him.

Over the next three years, more than 22 tons of cocaine made its way through this pipeline into the US, with the shipments coming into Miami either in hollowed-out shipping pallets or in boxes of blue jeans. In 1990 DEA agents in Caracas learned what was going on, but security was lax since one female DEA agent in Venezuela was sleeping with a CIA man there, and another, reportedly with General Guillén himself. The CIA and Guillén duly changed their modes of operation, and the cocaine shipments from Caracas to Miami continued for another two years. Eventually, the US Customs Service brought down the curtain on the operation, and in 1992 seized an 800-pound shipment of cocaine in Miami.

One of Guillén’s subordinates, Adolfo Romero, was arrested and ultimately convicted on drug conspiracy charges. None of the Colombian drug lords were ever inconvenienced by this project, despite the CIA’s claim that it was after the Calí cartel. Guillén was indicted but remained safe in Caracas. McFarlin and his boss were ultimately edged out of the Agency.

No other heads rolled after an operation that yielded nothing but the arrival, under CIA supervision, of 22 tons of cocaine in the United States.

The CIA conducted an internal review of this debacle and asserted that there was “no evidence of criminal wrongdoing.”

A DEA investigation reached a rather different conclusion, charging that the spy agency had engaged in “unauthorized controlled shipments” of narcotics into the US and that the CIA withheld “vital information” on the Calí cartel from the DEA and federal prosecutors.

Perjury Is Part Of The Job Description At The CIA

Disingenuous denial has long been a specialty of the Central Intelligence Agency. Back in 1971, one of John Deutch’s better known predecessors as director of intelligence, Richard Helms, addressed the American Newspaper Editors Association at a moment when the Agency had been accused of infiltrating new organizations and of running a domestic spying operation for President Richard Nixon. The nation, Helms told the assembled editors, “should take on faith that we too are honorable men, devoted to her service.” Helms was scarcely in hostile territory, any more than was John Deutch in the New York Times, the venue for his article asserting the innocence of the CIA. More than any other director, Helms was part of the Georgetown circuit, on close terms with such journalists as Joseph Alsop, James Reston, Joseph Kraft, Chalmers Roberts and C. L. Sulzberger. Helms would often boast of his days as a reporter for United Press, during which he had gotten exclusive interviews with Adolf Hitler and the ice-skater Sonja Henie.

Less than two years after his denials to the Newspaper Editors Association, Helms went before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and was grilled about the Agency’s involvement in Watergate. In response, he lied brazenly about Howard Hunt and Gordon Liddy’s ties to the CIA. Though the chairman of the committee, Sen. William Fulbright, was rightly incredulous, Helms was not formally put on the spot.

This wasn’t the first time Helms, who led the Agency from 1966 through 1972, had lied, nor was it his most devious statement. Throughout the Vietnam War, Helms had withheld from Congress crucial information on the troop strength of the Viet Cong, developed by a young CIA analyst named Sam Adams. Adams’s numbers showed that support for the Viet Cong in South Vietnam was much greater than the military’s estimates, so strong, indeed, that the war seemed to be un-winnable. Helms, however, sided with the military and sought unrelentingly to hound Adams out of the Agency.

Later, in 1973, the dapper spook again gave false testimony to Congress, this time about the CIA’s part in overthrowing Salvador Allende’s government in Chile. Of course, support for the coup against Allende was undertaken at the insistence of American corporations such as ITT and Anaconda Copper. The Agency is reported to have sent a drug smuggler to Santiago with a cash payment for a Chilean hitman endeavoring to assassinate Allende. In 1977, the Justice Department, headed by Carter appointee Griffin Bell, reluctantly charged Helms with perjury. The former CIA director took the advice of Washington superlawyer Edwin Bennett Williams and entered a plea of no contest. He was fined $2,000 and received a suspended sentence.

Spying On Americans

There were other historical counterpoints to Deutch’s protestations. In 1976, at one of the most fraught moments in the Agency’s relationship to Congress since its inception, Director William Colby (who had earlier blown the whistle on Helms’s lies about Chile) went before the Select Committee on Intelligence being run by Senator Frank Church of Idaho. This time the mood of Congress was sharper, prompted by Seymour Hersh’s exposés in the New York Times of domestic spying and also by charges that the CIA had been running an assassination program overseas.

Yes, Colby said, the possibility of using assassination had been entertained at the Agency, but at no time had it ever reached the level of successful practical application. As for domestic spying, there had been programs of mail surveillance and the like, but they were far from the “massive” operations alleged by Hersh, and they had long since been discontinued.

Colby was being typically modest. The CIA, through Operation CHAOS and similar programs, had compiled files on more than 10,000 Americans and kept a database with more than 300,000 names in it. It had wiretapped the phones of American reporters, infiltrated dissident groups and tried to disrupt anti-war protests. It spent $33,000 in support of a letter-writing campaign in support of the invasion of Cambodia.

As with the charges of complicity in drug running, the CIA’s role in assassination is one of those topics gingerly handled by the press or Congress from time to time and then hastily put aside, with the habitual claim that the CIA may have dreamed of it, thought about it and maybe even dabbled in it, but had never actually gone successfully all the way. But, in fact, the Agency has gone all the way many times, and we should look at this history in some detail since the pattern of denial in these cases strongly parallels the CIA’s relationship with the drug business.

CIA Assassinations And Crimes Against Humanity

There’s no dispute that the CIA has used assassination as a weapon lower down the political and social pecking order, as no one knew better than William Colby. He had, by his own admission, supervised the Phoenix Program and other so-called “counter-terror” operations in Vietnam.

Phoenix was aimed at “neutralizing” Viet Cong political leaders and organizers in rural South Vietnam. In congressional testimony, Colby boasted that 20,587 Viet Cong activists had been killed between 1967 and 1971 alone. The South Vietnamese published a much higher estimate, declaring that nearly 41,000 had been killed. Barton Osborn, an intelligence officer in the Phoenix Program, spelled out in chilling terms the bureaucratic attitude of many of the agents toward their murderous assignments.

“Quite often it was a matter of expediency just to eliminate a person in the field rather than deal with the paperwork.”

Those killed outright in Phoenix operations may have been more fortunate than the 29,000 suspected Viet Cong members arrested and interrogated with techniques that were horrible even by the standards of Pol Pot and Mobutu.

In 1972, a parade of witnesses before Congress testified about the techniques of the Phoenix interrogators: how they interviewed suspects and then pushed them out of planes, how they cut off fingers, ears and testicles, how they used electro-shock, shoved wooden dowels into the brains of some prisoners, and rammed electric probes into the rectums of others.

For many of the Phoenix raids, the Agency employed the services of bandit tribes and ethnic groups, such as the KKK. The KKK was comprised of anti-communist Cambodians and drug smugglers who, as one Phoenix veteran put it, “would kill anyone as long as there was something in it for them.” The KKK even offered to knock off Prince Sihanouk for the Americans and frame the Viet Cong for the killing.

These American death squads were a particular favorite of Richard Nixon. After the My Lai massacre, an operation with all the earmarks of a Phoenix-style extermination, there was a move to reduce the funding for these civilian killing programs.

Nixon, according to an account by Seymour Hersh, objected vociferously. “No,” Nixon demanded. “We’ve got to have more of this. Assassinations. Killings.” The funds were promptly restored, and the death toll mounted.

Even at the senior level of executive action, Colby was being bashful about the CIA’s ambitions and achievements. In 1955, the CIA had very nearly managed to assassinate the Chinese Communist leader Chou En-lai. Bombs were put aboard Chou’s plane as he flew from Hong Kong to Indonesia for the Bandung conference. At the last moment Chou changed planes, thus avoiding a terminal descent into the South China Sea, since the plane duly blew up. The role of the CIA was later described in detail by a British intelligence agent who defected to the Soviet Union, and evidence recovered by divers from portions of the plane, including the timing mechanisms for two bombs, confirmed his statements. The Hong Kong police called the crash a case of “carefully planned mass murder.”

By 1960, Rafael Trujillo, president of the Dominican Republic, had become irksome to US foreign policy makers. His blatant corruption looked as though it might prompt a revolt akin to the upsurge that had brought Fidel Castro to power. The best way to heed off this unwelcome contingency was to ensure that Trujillo’s political career cease forthwith, which in early 1961 it did. Trujillo was gunned down in his car outside his own mansion in Ciudad Trujillo.

It emerged that the CIA had provided guns and training to the assassins, though the Agency took care to point out that it was not absolutely 100 percent sure that these were the same weapons that ultimately deposed the tyrant (who had been originally installed in power by the CIA).

At about the same time, CIA director Allen Dulles, decided that the leader of the Congo, Patrice Lumumba, was an unacceptable threat to the Free World and his removal was “an urgent and prime objective.” For assistance in the task of banishing this threat, the CIA turned to its own Technical Services Division (TSD), headed by the man of darkness, Sidney Gottlieb.

Gottlieb’s division housed a horror chamber of labs whose researches included brain-washing, chemical and biological warfare, the use of drugs and electro-shock as modes of interrogation, and the development of lethal toxins, along with the most efficient means of applying these to the victim, such as the notorious poison dart gun later displayed before the cameras by Senator Frank Church.

In Lumumba’s case, Gottlieb developed a bio-poison that would mime a disease endemic to the Congo. He personally delivered the deadly germs along with a special hypodermic syringe, gauze masks and rubber gloves to Lawrence Devlin, the CIA chief of station in the Congo. The lethal implements were carried into the country in a diplomatic pouch. Gottlieb instructed Devlin and his agents on how to apply the toxin to Lumumba’s toothpaste and food. However, the CIA’s bio-assassins couldn’t get close enough to Lumumba, so the “executive action” proceeded by a more traditional route.

Lumumba was seized, tortured and murdered by soldiers of the CIA’s selected replacement, Mobutu Sese Seko, and Lumumba’s body ended up in the trunk of a CIA officer who drove around Lumumbashi trying to decide how to dispose of it.

When it came to Fidel Castro, the Agency spared no effort across a quarter of a century. Colby admitted to the Church committee that the Agency had tried and failed to kill Castro several times, but not nearly as often as its critics alleged. “It wasn’t for lack of trying,” Colby observed. “Castro gave McGovern in 1975 a list of the attempts made on his life – there were about thirty by that time – as he said, by the CIA. McGovern gave it to me and I looked through it and checked it off against our records and said we could account for about five or six. The others – I can understand Castro’s feeling about them because they were all ex-Bay of Pigs people or something like that, so he thinks they’re all CIA. Once you get into one of them, then bingo! – you get blamed for all the rest. We didn’t have any connections with the rest of them, but we’d never convince Castro of that.”

Five or six assassination plots is a sobering number, especially if you happen to be the intended target of these “executive actions.” But even here Colby was dissembling. He certainly had the opportunity to consult a secret 1967 report on the plots against Castro by the CIA’s Inspector General John S. Earman, and approved by Richard Helms. The CIA had in fact hatched attempts on the Cuban leader even prior to the revolution. One of the first occurred in 1958, when Eutimio Rojas, a member of the Cuban guerrillas, was hired to kill Castro as he slept at a camp in the Sierra Maestra.

On February 2, 1959, Cuban security guards arrested Allan Robert Nye, an American, in a hotel room facing the presidential palace. Nye had in his possession a high-powered rifle equipped with a telescopic scope, and had been contracted to shoot Castro as he arrived at the palace. A month later Rolando Masferrer, a former leader of Batista’s death squads, turned up at a Miami meeting with American mobsters and a CIA officer. There this deadly conglomerate planned another scenario to kill Castro outside the presidential palace.

The Agency tried to devise a way to saturate the radio studio where Castro broadcast his speeches with an aerosol form of LSD and other “psychic energizers.” Another plan called for dousing Castro’s favorite kind of cigars with psychoactive drugs. The doped cigars were kept in the safe of Jake Easterline, who headed the anti-Cuba task force in the pre–Bay of Pigs days, while he tried to find a way to deliver them to Castro without risking “serious blowback” to the Agency. The ingredients for both of these schemes were developed in the labs of Sydney Gottlieb. In 1967, Gottlieb told Inspector General Earman of another scheme in which he was asked to impregnate some cigars for Castro with lethal poisons.

During Castro’s trip to New York for an appearance at the United Nations in 1960, CIA agents attempted to pull off what is referred to as the “depilatory action.” The plan was to place thallium salts in Castro’s shoes and on his night table in the hope that the poisons would make the leader’s beard fall off. In high doses, thallium can cause paralysis or death. This scheme collapsed at the last minute.

By August 1960, the elimination of Castro had become a top priority for the leadership of the CIA. Allen Dulles and his deputy Richard Bissell paid Johnny Roselli, a Hollywood mobster and buddy of Frank Sinatra, $150,000 to arrange a hit on Castro. Roselli swiftly brought two more Mafia dons in on the plot: Sam Giancana, the Chicago gangster; and Santos Trafficante, the overseer of the Lansky/Luciano operations in Havana. Initially, the CIA recommended a gangland style hit in which Castro would be gunned down in a hail of machine-gun fire. But Giancana suggested a more subtle approach, a poison pill that could be slipped into Castro’s food or drink. Six deadly botulinum pills – “the size of saccharin tablets” – were cooked up in the CIA’s TSD labs, concealed in a hollow pencil and delivered to Roselli. On February 13, 1961, only a month after JFK’s inauguration, Trafficante took the botulinum pills to Havana and gave them to his man inside the Cuban government, Jorgé Orta, who worked on Castro’s executive staff and owed the mobsters large gambling debts.

Along with the pills, Trafficante also delivered a box of cigars soaked in botulinum toxin, which kills within hours. The cigars were prepared by Dr. Edward Gunn, chief of the CIA’s medical division. Gunn kept one of the cigars in his safe as a souvenir. He tested it for the Inspector General in 1967 and found it to have retained 94 percent of its original level of toxicity. The cigar was so deadly, Gunn said, that it need only be touched, not smoked, in order to kill its victim.

Trafficante later reported back that the pills and cigars weren’t given to Castro because “Orta got cold feet.”

In April, Roselli approached his CIA handlers with a new plan, demands for $50,000, and a new batch of pills. This time the operation would be carried out by Trafficante’s friend Dr. Manuel Antonio de Varona, leader of the anti-Castro Democratic Revolutionary Front. Verona and Trafficante had met through Edward K. Moss, the Washington, D.C. political fundraiser and influence peddler. Moss was pushing the cause of the Cuban exiles on the Hill, and he was sleeping with Julia Cellini, sister of the notorious Cellini brothers, Eddie and Dino, who were executives in Meyer Lansky’s gambling operations in the Caribbean. Varona smuggled the botulinum pills to a waitress at a restaurant frequented by Castro. But, according to CIA man Sheffield Edwards, the scheme failed when the Cuban leader suddenly “ceased to visit that particular restaurant.”

These mobsters are often referred to in CIA documents as the Havana gambling syndicate, after the casino hotels they ran there during the Batista regime. But the Mafia dons were also involved in a much more lucrative venture – drugs. Havana had become the key transfer point into the United States for much of the heroin produced by Lucky Luciano and by the Corsican syndicates in Marseilles. Lansky, who was Luciano’s money man in the States, offered to put out a $1 million contract on Castro’s head shortly after the revolution.

Over the next year, in the aftermath of the Bay of Pigs disaster, the CIA targeted Castro through its Executive Action Capability program, code-named ZR/RIFLE. This operation was headed by William “the Pear” Harvey, a former FBI man whom some suspected of being J. Edgar Hoover’s mole inside the CIA. Harvey, one of the real characters of the Agency’s formative years, was known for wearing his pistols to work at the office, slumbering through staff meetings and for his special animus toward Robert Kennedy, who he called “that little fucker.”

It was in late 1961 that Sam Giancana approached his CIA contact, a D.C.-based private detective named Robert Maheu, with a personal problem – he suspected his girlfriend, Phyllis McGuire, one of the McGuire Sisters singing group, of having an affair in Las Vegas with comedian Dan Rowan, of Rowan and Martin. In return for his assistance in the Castro assassination plots, Giancana wanted the Agency to bug Rowan’s Vegas hotel room. Rowan’s phone was duly wiretapped, but the recording device was discovered by a hotel maid, who informed the police. The Vegas police turned the matter over to the FBI, which wanted to prosecute Giancana for wiretapping. Ultimately, Robert Kennedy had to be told of the affair in order to call off the FBI.

Years later, Richard Bissell, the CIA’s deputy director for plans and architect of the Bay of Pigs disaster, said he regretted some of the Cuban ventures. Bissell told Bill Moyers, “I think we should not have involved ourselves with the Mafia. I think an organization that does so is losing control of its information. I think we should have been afraid that we would open ourselves to blackmail.” Moyers asked Bissell if it was only the association with the mobsters that troubled him, not the capability of the CIA to assassinate foreign leaders. Bissell replied: “Correct.”

Robert Kennedy, for one, didn’t share Bissell’s squeamishness. Kennedy, who was obsessed with the elimination of Castro, told Allen Dulles that he didn’t care if the Agency employed the Mob for the hit as long as they kept him fully briefed. Robert Kennedy would go to his grave defending the Agency. “What you’re not aware of is what role the CIA plays in the government,” RFK told Jack Newfield of the Village Voice shortly before his assassination. “During the 1950s, for example, many of the liberals who were forced out of other departments found a sanctuary, an enclave, in the CIA. So some of the best people in Washington, and around the country, began to collect there. One result of that was the CIA developed a very healthy view of Communism, especially compared to State and some other departments. They were very sympathetic, for example, to nationalist, and even socialist governments and movements. And I think now the CIA is becoming much more realistic, and critical, about the war, than other departments, or even the people in the White House. So it is not so black and white as you make.”

By 1963, Robert Kennedy’s friend Desmond Fitzgerald had taken over the Cuba operations from Harvey. Fitzgerald wasted little time in going after Castro. One of Fitzgerald’s first schemes was to have James Donovan, then negotiating the release of the Bay of Pigs prisoners, unwittingly deliver as a gift to Castro expensive scuba-diving gear. Sid Gottlieb treated the lining of the suit with a Madura fungus and implanted tubercle bacilli – a lethal concoction. At the same time, Fitzgerald had been reading up on deep sea clams and had asked Gottlieb’s lab to rig some exceptionally attractive specimens with high explosives. The clams would then be dropped in an area where Castro frequently dived and rigged to explode when lifted.

In November 1963, the CIA’s Desmond Fitzgerald was in Paris to meet Rolando Cubela, an anti-Castro Cuban who is referred to in CIA documents as AM-LASH. Fitzgerald portrayed himself as an emissary of Robert Kennedy and asked Cubela for help in killing Castro. On November 22, Cubela was given a ballpoint pen rigged as a syringe filled with deadly Blackleaf-40, a high-powered insecticide composed of 40 percent nicotine sulfate. As the Inspector General’s report dryly notes, “It is likely that at the very moment President Kennedy was shot, a CIA agent was meeting with a Cuban agent in Paris and giving him an assassination device for use against Castro.”

Fidel Castro was not the only target. There were also repeated attempts to assassinate his brother Raúl and Che Guevara. The CIA’s J. C. King pleaded with Allen Dulles to adopt a plan that would kill Fidel, Raúl and Che at the same time, “as a package.” Ultimately, Che, whom the Agency chased around the globe, was tracked down in the jungles of Bolivia. Present at his execution in 1967 was the CIA’s Fé1ix Rodríguez, an old Cuba hand who would later become a central figure in the Contras’ drugs-and-weapons operations at Ilopango air base in El Salvador.

Jimmy Carter’s CIA director, Admiral Stansfield Turner, was reviled by many inside the Agency for purging some of the old guard. But Turner wasn’t really much of a reformer, and he had his own problems with truth-telling. In 1977, as a result of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought by investigative journalist John Marks, the CIA was forced to disclose the existence of seven boxes of information on the Agency’s twenty-year research program into psycho-active drugs and behavior modification, known as MKULTRA.

The discovery of the records by the Agency’s archivist came as a something of surprise to the CIA’s leadership, since Richard Helms in his last days as director had ordered the destruction of all of the MKULTRA documents. When Turner briefed congressional committees and the press, he insisted that the program had been phased out in 1963 and had only involved drug experimentation. In fact, MKULTRA and a host of similar projects persisted until at least 1973 and involved a quest to develop techniques for mind control, including electro-shock and psychosurgery. The CIA wanted to create a kind of “Manchurian candidate,” a roster of chemically and psychologically programmed assassins and spies.

Turner, who talked of bringing about a new openness at the Agency, quickly proved he was no friend of free speech when he attempted to suppress the publication of Decent Interval, a book by former CIA officer Frank Snepp. The CIA claimed Snepp had violated his employment agreement by not submitting the book to the Agency for approval prior to the publication. The CIA’s lawyers subsequently won a suit requiring Snepp to hand over all of his royalties to the government.

Criminal Casey

For pure thuggishness and criminality, it’s hard to find a better specimen than William Casey, the CIA’s director during most of the Reagan years. Casey went straight from the management of Reagan’s campaign into CIA headquarters at Langley, where he brought in some of the top public relations firms in the nation to advise him on how to sell his two pet projects, the Contras and the Afghani Mujahedin, to a dubious American public. Casey called this work “perception management,” but it was really a domestic propaganda campaign, a psy-op for the home folks.

On December 4, 1981, Reagan signed Executive Order 12333 on assassinations. It reads, “No person employed by or acting on behalf of the U.S. government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, assassinations.” This legal restriction didn’t deter the new CIA leader, who at that very moment was busy advocating the elimination of Desi Bouterse, the leader of Suriname, a South American country that had entered in “the Cuban orbit.”

Likewise, Casey and his underlings were superintending the production of an assassination manual for the Nicaraguan Contras called Psychological Operations in Guerrilla Warfare. The manual, which reads like an update of the Phoenix Program, called for the use of violence “to neutralize carefully selected and planned targets such as court judges, police and state security officials, etc.” It advised the Contras to develop “shock troops” to infiltrate Sandinista rallies. “These men should be equipped with weapons (knives, razors, chains, clubs, bludgeons) and should march slightly behind the innocent and gullible participants.” In an echo of the Mafia operations against Castro, the manual also called for the Contras to hire organized crime figures to carry out many of these delicate operations. “If possible,” the manual advised, “professional criminals will be hired to carry out selective ‘jobs.’” Psychological Operations in Guerrilla Warfare wasn’t just an academic exercise: it was put into action. Twice, the Agency sent teams to assassinate Nicaraguan Foreign Minister Miguel d’Escoto, a Catholic priest. On one occasion the would-be assassins tried to poison him with a bottle of Benedictine liqueur spiked with thallium, a favorite toxin of the Agency. CIA agent Michael Tock was arrested by the Sandinistas for his role in one of the plots. When the New York Times finally got around to running a story on the murder manual, Reagan himself came to his old friend Casey’s defense, dismissing the matter as “much ado about nothing.”

Casey also put a $3 million bounty on the head of Sheikh Fadlallah, a Lebanese Shi’ite. Casey paid for the Saudis and a British arms technician to put a bomb in a car outside the mosque where Fadlallah was overseeing religious observances. They detonated it on March 8, 1985, at a moment when the bombers assumed that the Shiekh had emerged. In fact, he had dallied to talk with some of his congregation inside the mosque. The bomb killed 80 people, many of them schoolchildren, and wounded 200. The CIA and Saudis later paid Fadlallah a $2 million bribe not to retaliate.

The following year, Casey took personal control of an effort to kill Libya’s Moammar Qaddafi, an obsession of the Reagan men. Casey’s deputy, Robert Gates, developed a plan for a US/Egyptian military takeover of Libya, a bold move that would “redraw the map of North Africa.” In the end, Casey went after Qaddafi himself. The Libyan leader’s movements were closely tracked in early April 1986 with the assistance of the Mossad. A pretext for a move against Qaddafi was confected in alleging Libyan responsibility for a bomb set off in the La Belle nightclub in Berlin that killed an American soldier, Sergeant Kenneth Ford. On April 14, nine F-111s were sent to attack Qaddafi’s compound with thirty-six laser-guided 2,000-pound bombs. The raid was timed to narrowly precede the evening news and a news release had been prepared to announce that Qaddafi’s death had been an accidental byproduct of this “act of self-defense.”

But the Libyan leader escaped, though two of his sons were maimed and his daughter and a hundred nearby residents were killed by the strikes. There were immediate denials that the Libyan ruler had been personally targeted. “There was no decision to kill Qaddafi,” Casey mumbled. “There are dissident elements inside Libya. They might have seen their chances to rise and launch a coup. I’m sorry that didn’t happen.” Casey later said that the raid on Libya was meant to send a message. “Like Castro and Ortega got the message when we hit Grenada, this attack will scare the hell out of Qaddafi.”

In subsequent years, no CIA director has quite matched the appalling Casey. After Casey, the job went to William Webster, who promptly certified Panamanian strongman Manuel Noriega as an ally in the drug war. Webster, who spent much of his time on the tennis court, looked on as the collapse of the Soviet Union confounded half a century of CIA intelligence analysis. Bush’s choice to head the Agency was Casey’s deputy Robert Gates, who barely survived a contentious confirmation hearing after senators were told by Iran/Contra prosecutor Lawrence Walsh’s investigators that Gates probably lied to Congress about his knowledge of the Iran/Contra arms deals.

Gates stood by as CIA-trained thugs overthrew the government of Haitian president Jean Baptiste Aristide and replaced him with a gang of military officers headed by Gen. Raoul Cédras. Gates’s CIA called Cédras one of the most promising “Haitian leaders to emerge since the Duvalier family dictatorship was overthrown in 1986.” Cédras and his colleagues proceeded to slaughter their political enemies and make millions from the drug trade.

With Clinton, eventually came MIT academic and defense contractor John Deutch and his passionate defense of the Agency as the redoubt of honorable folk. Deutch was in more or less permanent denial during his tour at the Agency. Not only did he disclaim CIA involvement in the drug trade, but with equal heat he denied any Agency role in the murders in Guatemala of American Michael DeVine and rebel leader Efraín Bámaca. DeVine was kidnapped and beheaded in 1990. Bamaca was captured, tortured and killed in 1992. Both assassinations were ordered by Col. Julio Roberto Alpírez, who was on the CIA payroll. When State Department official Richard Nuccio attempted to investigate the matter, Deutch revoked his security clearance. Deutch also helped conceal information collected by his own analysts that more than 100,000 soldiers had been exposed to chemical weapons during the Gulf War and instead helped concoct the ruse that the Gulf War illnesses were merely the result of psychological stress.

In 1997, George Tenet assumed the helm of the Agency after Anthony Lake was forced to withdraw after he failed to fully disclose his stock holdings in oil companies with a financial interest in Agency actions. Tenet is best known for his efforts to secure the assassination of Saddam Hussein. For this task, Tenet employed a group known as the Iraqi National Accord. Failing to get anywhere near Saddam himself, this group took the easier road of leaving bombs in cinemas in Baghdad, killing a large number of people.

As such vignettes remind us, the Central Intelligence Agency is exactly what one would expect of an organization with a mandate stretching from the collection and analysis of intelligence data to the undertaking of subversion, manipulation of elections, assassination and the running of secret wars. Lying is part of the job description at the CIA, where falsehoods are regularly peddled to allies, the press, other federal agencies and Congress. “We’d go down and lie to them consistently,” says former CIA officer Ralph McGehee. “In my 25 years, I have never seen the Agency tell the truth to a Congressional committee.”

Agency officials have scant fear of being slapped on the wrist over their prevarications à la Helms. Joseph Fernández, CIA station chief in Costa Rica during the secret war against Nicaragua, lied about his role in channeling money and weapons to the Contras in violation of US law. So did Deputy CIA Director Clair George. Neither did time.

“We’ve created a class of intelligence officers who can’t be prosecuted,” concluded Iran/Contra prosecutor Lawrence Walsh.

Organizations such as the CIA require immersion in criminal milieus, virtually unlimited supplies of “black” or laundered money and a long-term cadre of entirely ruthless executives (some of them not averse to making personal fortunes from their covert activities). The drug trade is an integral part of such a world. The zones of primary production of opium and cocaine have fallen in contested zones of the Cold War: Southeast Asia, Central Asia and the Andean countries. The drug distribution networks again passed through such contested territories as Afghanistan, Vietnam and Central America. The drug traders – from rural warlords in Laos to the Thai police and Honduran generals – were similarly of enormous interest to any intelligence agency. The drug money involved is both profuse and off the books.

The drug milieu is also, in its various stages of production and transmission, inevitably associated with organized violence, from enforcers to paramilitaries to guerrilla supervisors to military detachments to generals commanding their slice of the trade. All of these areas are once again central to the concerns of an organization such as the CIA. And the drug traders (unless they operate as an arm of government, as in Mexico) are often in opposition to the ruling power, a situation that is of paramount interest to a body such as the CIA.

From the perspective of the drug lords, an alliance with or employment by the CIA is equally fruitful. They can use CIA services to suppress their rivals and protect their turf. CIA proprietaries, such as Air America, can be used to provide access to international markets. And, despite Deutch’s protestations to the contrary, the CIA has repeatedly suppressed criminal investigations of its operatives by the US Customs Service, the Drug Enforcement Agency and the FBI.

Given these areas of mutual interest it is not surprising that since its inception the Central Intelligence Agency has been in permanent collusion with narco-traffickers, assisting their safe passage, protecting their activities, rewarding drug lords, hiring them for covert missions and using money derived from these operations for other activities. The fact that these drugs end up in American veins has never deterred the Agency and, given the color of the skin often covering those veins, has perhaps even been seen as a positive outcome.

Leary Helped Destroy The 1960s New Left By Turning The Youth Onto Drugs

During the mid-1960s, as political activism against the Vietnam War and other social ills skyrocketed, Dr. Timothy Leary, a former University of California at Berkeley and Harvard professor, traveled the U.S. urging young people to “turn on” to LSD, “tune in and drop out” of “high school, junior executives” and other societal institutions.

Leary had been fired after distributing LSD to students at Harvard in 1963 and subsequently moved to the Millbrook Estate in New York where he continued to carry on experiments with LSD through a foundation that he established.

At the time, Leary’s message seemed subversive.

Leary was touting LSD as a consciousness-expanding drug that could induce sexual euphoria among women and lead to the development of a more peaceful society.

However, in hindsight, Leary proved to be a false prophet who helped destroy the 1960s movements by pushing young people to take a drug that fried their brains and diverted their energy from political activism.

Carl Oglesby, the one-time president of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), the leading 1960s-era campus anti-war organization, wrote in 1988 that “we have to contemplate the possibility that the great American acid trip, no matter how distinctive of the rebellion of the 1960s it came to appear, was in fact the result of a despicable government conspiracy….If U.S. intelligence bodies collaborated in an effort to drug the entire generation of Americans, then the reason they did so was to disorient it, sedate it, and depoliticize it.”

An examination of Leary’s career makes it apparent that U.S. intelligence bodies were, indeed, behind the drugging of American youth.

Leary himself said in an interview with journalist Walter Bowart near the end of his life that he was working as an intelligence agent since 1962. “I was a witting agent of the CIA” which, he claimed, had recognized him as “an important national asset.”

Asked by Bowart to elaborate on whether CIA people were involved in his LSD-proselytizing groups in the 1960s, Leary responded: “Of course they were. I would say that eighty percent of my movements, eighty percent of the decisions I made were suggested to me by CIA people.”

Leary continued: “I like the CIA! The game they’re playing is better than the FBI. Better than the Saigon police. Better than Franco’s police. Better than the Israeli police. They’re a thousand times better than the KGB. So it comes down to: who are you going to work for? The Yankees or the Dodgers?”

Doing Exploratory Work For The CIA

Possessing a wild and rebellious streak, Leary’s connection to the CIA went back to the 1950s when, as a young psychology professor, he developed a personality test called “the Leary” that was used by the CIA.

At the time, Leary was a professor of clinical psychology at the University of California at Berkeley and Director of Psychology Research at the Kaiser Foundation Hospital in Oakland.

Coming from a military family, Leary’s father, Tote, had been a dentist with the rank of captain at West Point when Douglas MacArthur was Superintendent there.

After agreeing to leave West Point following issues with the so-called “honor committee” because of his womanizing tendencies, Leary was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1943 and was sent to the psychology subsection of the Army Specialized Training Program, which included three months of specialized study at Georgetown University.

By the time he obtained his Ph.D. from UC Berkeley, Leary had sought to liberalize the way that psychologists interacted with their patients, believing that the therapist ought to be a “democratic participant” in group therapy sessions rather than an outside authority figure.

Leary’s viewpoint dovetailed with the burgeoning anti-psychiatry movement that sought to humanize the psychiatric profession.

Believing that “everything that could be found in mental disorder could be found in anyone,” Leary said that “the world was a madhouse,” and that insane asylums were “more terrifying than Dachau because the captors claim to be healers.”

Based on a review of data collected from hundreds of patients, Leary’s 1957 book The Interpersonal Diagnosis of Personality (John Wiley & Sons) depicted social interaction as a kind of game in which people played assigned roles they could be coached to improve upon, or modify if they were unhappy.

The CIA gravitated to Leary—who had a genius-level IQ—because the personality archetypes he laid out could help the Agency manipulate people. Additionally, his research aimed to find ways to change human behavior—including through dispensation of psychedelic drugs in a controlled setting, which was a CIA obsession.

Leary admitted to interviewer Walter Bowart that personality-assessment research in the late 1940s and 1950s was an offshoot of an Office of Strategic Services (OSS) research project and was “CIA initiated.”

The OSS project had been headed by Dr. Henry Murray, Leary’s boss at Harvard in the early 1960s, and Donald W. MacKinnon, a OSS alumni and UC Berkeley psychologist who collaborated with Leary at Harvard in the early 1960s.

In 1948, while completing his Ph.D. at UC Berkeley, Leary became acquainted with influential CIA operative Cord Meyer, Jr., as a member of the American Veterans Committee (AVC), a liberal alternative to the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

Founded by the CIA, the AVC sought to elect Harry S. Truman over Republican challenger Thomas Dewey in the 1948 election. Leary was said to have brought enormous energy and a lot of ideas for fundraising to the organization.

Leary credited Cord Meyer—who led the purging of communists in AVC—with “helping me understand my political-cultural role more clearly.”

Lecturing Leary about communism and the importance of liberal resistance to it, Meyer had headed CIA programs that infiltrated liberal-left groups such as labor unions, creative-academic societies and student groups.

In his memoir Flashbacks, Leary recounted receiving a visit when he was teaching at Harvard from Cord Meyer, Jr.’s ex-wife, Mary Pinchot Meyer, who took part in an LSD session with him.

After that session, Meyer gave a lecture on the CIA’s interest in using such drugs for brainwashing and interrogation, which she seemed to know a lot about. Leary believed that “there was something calculated about Mary, that tough hit you get from people who live in the hard political world.”

Later, Leary learned that Meyer had an affair with President John F. Kennedy. He came to believe that she was murdered in October 1964 for giving LSD to the president and recording this information in her diary, which the CIA seized after her death.

Leary’s ties to the Meyer’s appear to be crucial in his relationship with the CIA. Meyer had told Leary: “The CIA creates the radical journals and student organizations and runs them with deep-cover agents. Dissident organizations in academia are also controlled.” Included, presumably, was the psychedelic club run by Leary at Harvard.

Allegedly Meyer told Leary: “Since your research is of vital importance to the intelligence agencies of the country, you’ll be allowed to go on with your experiments as long as you keep it quiet. You are doing exploratory work the CIA tried to do in the 1950s. So they’re more than happy to have you do their research for them. As long as it doesn’t get out of hand.”

Fighting A War At The Neurological Level

Leary claimed to have had some kind of spiritual and religious epiphany while taking magic mushrooms in Cuernavaca, Mexico, in the summer of 1960. He was also said to have been inspired by a 1957 Life magazine article by Gordon Wasson, a J.P. Morgan vice president with intimate ties to the intelligence establishment, who supposedly had a profound spiritual experience taking magic mushrooms in Mexico.

Offered a position at Harvard for the 1960-1961 academic year, Leary began teaching courses on the use of psychedelic drugs and carried out LSD experiments with his colleague, Dr. Richard Alpert.

Dr. Aldous Huxley and Dr. Humphry Osmond appear to have selected Leary as a key person to advance research on psychedelic drugs in the service of the Cold War and arranged for his position at Harvard.

Grandson of one of the founders of the Rhodes Round Table group, an elite body that aimed to advance the interests of the British empire, Huxley was the author of the 1954 book The Doors of Perception praising the consciousness-expanding effect of hallucinogenic drugs and a visiting professor at MIT who had been brought in to help oversee Operation MK-ULTRA by CIA Director Allen Dulles.

MK-ULTRA was a CIA mind-control program designed to develop methods for controlling human behavior.

Dr. Osmond also conducted research for Operation MK-ULTRA at Princeton and the University of Saskatchewan, working closely with Dr. Carl Pfeiffer of Emory University, who was a key academic figure involved in MK-ULTRA.

Drs. Osmond and Huxley were allegedly introduced to LSD by Captain Al Hubbard, a special investigative agent for the OSS in World War II who was known as the “Johnny Appleseed of LSD.

Researcher Jan Irvin frames it that Osmond and Huxley hired Leary on behalf of the CIA to take on the persona of the “hip drug pusher” who would proselytize LSD among the youth.

John Potash reported that funding for Leary’s research at Harvard—along with other professors involved in psychedelic drug research working under Osmond and Huxley—came from the Human Ecology Fund, which had been started by the CIA at Cornell University Medical School in 1959 and was used as a conduit for CIA funding of psychological research.

Previously, Leary had received government grants through the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), which is known to have been one of the conduits for MK-ULTRA research.

Leary was recruited to work at Harvard’s Psychological Drug Research Center by Dr. Frank Barron, who previously worked with Leary at the Berkeley Institute of Personality Assessment and Research, which Leary admitted was “funded and staffed by OSS-CIA psychologists.”

Leary’s psilocybin research project was approved by Dr. Henry Murray, the Director of the Harvard psychological clinic, who, according to Leary, had monitored military experiments on truth-drug brainwashing and interrogation when he was with the OSS.

Not surprisingly, Murray—who had conducted a series of psychologically damaging experiments on undergraduate students that involved testing for reactions to extreme stress—took a keen interest in Leary’s work and even supplied him with magic mushrooms.

A declassified CIA memo directing an agent to accumulate more information on the Leary-Alpert psychedelic experts at Harvard noted that “some individuals known to have taken the drugs have sensitive security clearances and are engaged in classified work.”

The CIA in the 1950s and early 1960s thought that psilocybin and LSD were magic substances capable of altering human behavior and even winning wars without battlefield casualties.

Sidney Gottlieb arranged for the CIA to purchase the world’s entire supply of LSD in the early 1950s, distributing it to institutions under false pretenses.

After the exposure of the Operation MK-ULTRA, CIA Director Stansfield Turner (1976-1980) admitted that LSD research on college campuses and elsewhere was funded by the CIA.

Identifying himself as a cold warrior, Leary told Walter Bowart: “I saw after Hiroshima, there would never be a big world war. World War III would be at the neurological level, not at the level of tanks and planes and bombs…I proceeded as an intelligence agent since 1962, understanding that the next war for control of this planet and beyond, had to do with the control of consciousness. So, I had to think very carefully about that…I wanted my side to win the war.”

Leary also said that, while he was a witting agent of the CIA, he did everything in his power to throw out Nixon, whose War on Drugs he objected to.

Leary was especially proud of a project he ran at Harvard—financed by the Uris Brothers Foundation—where he gave psilocybin and LSD to inmates in a controlled setting at the Concord prison in Massachusetts.

Leary claimed that the program was successful in reducing recidivism rates and proved his theory of “set” and “setting” that a user’s experience with psychedelic and other drugs was shaped by the environment in which the drugs were taken.

The Concord experiment fit the pattern of Operation MK-ULTRA, by which Ivy League scientists like Leary performed drug experiments on prison inmates who served as human guinea pigs.

Mellon-Fortune Front And The CIA As Drug Pusher

Researcher Jan Irvin suggests that Leary and Alpert’s firings from Harvard—for distributing LSD unwittingly to students—was staged to set the stage for Leary becoming a hippie guru whose spiritual message Harvard had tried to suppress. During the semester of Leary’s firing, he had actually stopped teaching his classes, which is what really led to his dismissal.

After leaving Harvard, Leary and Alpert established a non-profit foundation called the International Federation for Internal Freedom (IFIF), which continued to carry out drug experiments and advocated for LSD as a consciousness-expanding drug.

IFIF fit the paradigm by which wealthy institutions and individuals fund “astroturf” non-profits that make it appear that a particular cause—in this case LSD use—was being promoted by passionate individuals.

IFIF’s financing came from William Mellon Hitchcock, a wealthy financier who was the nephew of former Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon, one of the richest men in America, and a grandson of William Larimer Hitchcock, the founder of Gulf Oil.

Martin A. Lee and Bruce Shlain wrote in their book Acid Dreams: The CIA, the Sixties and Beyond that “certain influential members of the Mellon family maintained close ties to the CIA. Mellon family foundations have been used repeatedly as conduits for Agency funds. Richard Helms was a frequent guest of the Mellon patriarchs in Pittsburgh during his tenure as CIA Director.

Dubbed “Timothy Leary’s godfather” and the “Daddy Warbucks of the counter-culture,” William Mellon Hitchcock had a bank account at Castle Bank in the Bahamas, a CIA bank founded by Paul Helliwell for money-laundering purposes and was the lead investor in a Meyer-Lansky linked gambling and casino company that established a private intelligence operation.

Hitchcock allowed Leary to live for meager rent at his family’s 40,000-acre Millbrook Estate in Dutchess County, New York, where Leary and some of his former Harvard associates continued with their LSD and drug experimentation and hedonistic lifestyle.

Walter H. Bowart, in a 1970 article in Gallery magazine entitled “How the CIA Planned the Drugging of America,” wrote that the “International Federation for Internal Freedom (IFIF), Castalia Foundation, and the League for Spiritual Discovery (LSD)—all Leary-led organizations—did little to further scientific research. Their major accomplishment was to make LSD a household word and to encourage people to try the drug.”

Baby Boomer Youth As Human Guinea Pigs?

Dr. Sidney Cohen, a CIA-linked LSD researcher involved with MK-ULTRA and a veteran of the U.S. Army Medical Corps, stated in a 1963 CIA memo: “I think we need people like Tim and Al Hubbard. They’re absolutely necessary to get out, way out, too far in fact, in order to move the shit…I must confess that when I studied LSD, and then I heard that it was getting out on the streets, I said this’ll never sell. It’s too intense, people will be too shook up. But it didn’t work that way at all. I’m not quite sure I know why. But apparently people were able to sustain it—this intense response.”

These comments seem to suggest that Leary functioned with Alpert as a drug pusher for the CIA, which wanted to continue the clandestine MK-ULTRA experiments above ground, with baby-boomer youth functioning as human guinea pigs.

A CIA memo dated November 1, 1963 ordered all CIA groups involved in mind-control operations to report if any agency personnel were involved with either Leary or Alpert or IFIF. The response to this in-house memo, if there was one, was not released by the CIA, which appears to have been pulling the strings behind the scenes.

In a 1979 conversation with Cohen, Leary referenced “undercover agents” in Los Angeles and “cells,” which is intelligence lingo, providing more evidence of Leary’s work for the CIA.

Elmer Gantry And The Shift From The “We” To The “Me” Generation

Leary’s strategic cultivation of a friendship with Beatnik poet Allen Ginsberg was especially important to the advancement of the psychedelic revolution, as Ginsberg provided Leary with an entrée into the New York City artistic world and became a key youth counter-culture influencer.

Leary also turned on influential rock musicians like Jimi Hendrix and John Lennon who adopted lyrics from some of Leary’s speeches.

A brilliant self-promoter and showman, Leary enlisted media expert Marshall McLuhan to help him to improve his public appeal and image. McLuhan encouraged Leary to wear hippie beads and Native-American bandanas and to adopt the slogan “turn on, tune in and drop out,” which McLuhan had derived from a Pepsi commercial.

Through magazine interviews, television appearances, movies, records and books, Leary came to project himself as the culture hero of a new generation fighting for an individual’s right to alter his own consciousness—a right Leary maintained was guaranteed by the U.S. constitution.

Leary scored a major public relations coup with a 1966 Playboy magazine interview describing how LSD was a great aphrodisiac.

Also significant was the fact that Leary got the influential countercultural magazine The East Village Other to promote the psychedelic revolution.

The East Village Other was founded by Walter Bowart, who had gone with Leary to testify about LSD before Congress in 1966.

Bowart was married to Peggy Mellon Hitchcock, William’s sister, who served on the board of IFIF and financed The Grateful Dead’s first album.

According to a 1968 FBI memo, Jerry Garcia, the leader of the Grateful Dead, was employed to “channel youth dissent and rebellion into more benign and non-threatening directions.”

Leary’s value to the Agency became clear as youth abandoned traditional forms of protest and political organizing and spent their time getting high, listening to rock ’n’ roll music and having sex.

At the famous January 1967 Human Be-in at Golden Gate Park, Leary sat on the stage dressed from head-to-toe in white with his hands together as if in prayer.

Fashioning himself as a religious figure, he urged youth to eat acid as part of a spiritual-communal ritual. The Grateful Dead and other San Francisco rock bands played at the be-in and increased the bandwagon effect to encourage “tripping.”

Descriptions of the event reported that only Jerry Rubin and Allen Ginsberg talked about protesting the Vietnam War and that they were largely ignored.

The Human Be-in created an overriding theme around the idea of expanding consciousness through LSD and other drug taking, rather than organizing Middle America to end the Vietnam War and humanize the policies of the American government, as Martin Luther King, Jr., SDS and serious political activists were then advocating.

Ironically, when LSD became illegal in October 1966, supplies of the drug dried up and were replaced with other kinds of chemicals, including veterinary tranquilizers and heroin mixed with amphetamines, which youth were taking thinking it was LSD.

Dismissing student activists as “young men with menopausal minds” who were “repeating the same dreary quarrels and conflicts for power of the thirties and forties of the trade union movement, of Trotskyism and so forth,” Leary told youth at a press conference “don’t vote, don’t politic. You can’t do anything about America politically….the choice is between being rebellious and being religious.”

The latter statements marked the transition between the “we generation” of the 1960s to the “me generation” of the 1970s, which focused much of its energy on achieving spiritual growth through drug use and later eastern religions, yoga, meditation or something else.

This generation, in turn, abandoned any effort to build working-class and anti-imperialist political movements.

In a column in Granma in the 2000s, Fidel Castro wrote “both in the U.S. and in Europe the big outdoor rock concert were used to stop the increasing discontent among the population…according to recently released CIA documents (thanks to the Freedom of Information Act), Allen Dulles purchased over 100 million doses of LSD—almost all of which flooded the streets of the United States during the late 1960s….Thousands of graduate students served as guinea pigs. Soon they were synthesizing their own acid…The overwhelming majority of anti-war protesters went into SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) on the basis of outrage at the developments in Vietnam. But once caught in the environment defined by the Tavistock Institute’s [which Huxley and Osmond were part of] psychological warfare experts, they became depoliticized.”

In his 1968 book The Politics of Ecstasy, Leary spoke about the advent of a “post-political society based on ecstasy” in which rebellious youth did not aim to change the U.S. political structure but rather to change the individual mind.

This was convenient for America’s power elite, which could continue with business as usual, unperturbed by the wave of youth dropouts living on the margins of society.

The contempt for traditional American culture and destructive nature of the drug culture, furthermore, could be expected to produce a political backlash—as it did—that would re-empower conservative forces and move the country rightward.

The San Francisco-based Ramparts magazine—a key New Left publication—compared Leary to Elmer Gantry, a hypocritical preacher in a Sinclair Lewis novel who led members of his congregation astray.

Mary Jo Worth depicted Leary in The Village Voice as a “Madison Avenue huckster” who was a front for Hitchcock’s money. The entire psychedelic movement, she wrote, was “nothing more than a scam perpetrated by a power hungry clique.”

Indeed, though Leary had developed some innovative ideas early in his career, including that environmental factors shaped people’s experience with drugs, his claim that LSD could open up new circuits of the brain and induce elevated human intelligence, creativity, sensuality and consciousness and spread pacifist ideals was not grounded in scientific evidence or lived reality for most LSD users, some of whom experienced severe adverse effects from the drug.

Leading A Generation On A Path To Destruction

At the peak of Leary’s fame, his daughter Susan—who lived a troubled life after her mother committed suicide—wrote a letter to him telling him that he appeared to have lost his sanity seeking to save humanity by teaching them about chemicals and was leading a generation on a path to destruction.

The Millbrook Estate at this time had become, according to Leary’s Harvard colleague Ralph Metzner, an “Addams family house of horrors,” filled with “decadence and depravity and dabbling black arts,” with “lost souls wandering the premises in permanently drugged states,” provoking sometimes “vicious conflicts that led to violence.”

This mirrored the Haight-Ashbury scene, which one CIA agent referred to as a “human guinea pig farm.”

For their book Acid Dreams, Lee and Shlain interviewed a former CIA contract employer who said “CIA personnel helped underground chemists set up LSD laboratories in the Bay Area during the summer of love to monitor events in the acid ghetto.”

Dr. Jolyon West, an important figure in the CIA’s Operation MK-ULTRA who treated Jack Ruby after the JFK assassination and other CIA assassins, rented an apartment at the Haight for monitoring purposes.

In 1967, Time magazine had a big spread on the hippies. Time Inc.’s vice president, C. D. Jackson, had headed psychological warfare operations for the CIA during the Eisenhower administration.

Along with constant media coverage, one of the most popular songs of the time, “San Francisco” by John Phillips of The Mamas and the Papas, led young people to flock to Haight-Ashbury to become part of the hippie scene. Researcher Dave McGowan found that Phillips, not coincidentally, had come from an intelligence family.

Key suppliers of LSD to the hippie scene, such as Owsley Stanley III and Ronald Stark, were found to have ties to U.S. intelligence.

The “Johnny Appleseed of LSD,” Colonel Al Hubbard, was also involved in Operation MK-ULTRA and frequently spoke to Leary and supplied him with LSD.

Hubbard interceded to prevent Leary from going to prison after Texas authorities were intent on giving him a 30-year prison sentence for smuggling marijuana across the Texas-Mexico border.

At a reunion between LSD pioneers in February 1979 at the home of Dr. Oscar Janiger in Los Angeles, Leary turned to the 77-year-old Hubbard and said: “The galactic center sent you down just at the right moment.” Hubbard responded: “You sure as heck played your part.”

This exchange suggests a conspiracy between the two men that was behind the so-called psychedelic revolution, which is reinforced by the fact that Hubbard received a birthday greeting from Ronald Reagan.

In the late 1960s, Leary’s drug proselytizing and experiments were financed by the Brotherhood of Eternal Love, which was headed by another CIA operative, Ronald Stark.

The destructiveness of the drug culture became apparent when leaders of the Weather Underground, who took copious amounts of acid, celebrated the Manson killings, carried out violent terroristic acts and disbanded SDS after taking its name.

At its peak, SDS had established over 300 campus chapters and had over 100,000 members. The organization could have evolved into a dynamic force in American politics to challenge the corporate takeover of both major political parties and the U.S. empire’s war machine.

A Name Worse Than Benedict Arnold

In September 1970, members of the Weather Underground helped Leary break out of the San Luis Obispo prison after he had been incarcerated on drug charges.

Leary had pledged his solidarity with Weather Underground in a “POW Statement,” which read: “Listen Americans! Your government is an instrument of totally lethal evil. Resist actively, sabotage, jam the computer… hijack planes, trash every lethal machine in the land….To shoot a genocidal robot policeman in the defense of life is a sacred act….Total war is upon us….WARNING: I am armed and should be considered dangerous!”

This deliberately inflammatory communiqué had the effect of re-establishing Leary’s bona fides in the radical underground, and turning American opinion farther against the New Left through its over-the-top rhetoric and calls to kill police and carry out other crimes.

After his prison escape, Leary went into exile in Algeria where he briefly linked up with members of the Black Panther Party.

Declassified documents reveal that the CIA had a CHAOS agent—with “particularly good entree into the highest levels of the domestic radical community”—providing “extremely personal data” who had been instructed to infiltrate the overseas office of the Black Panthers.

This agent is thought to have been Leary, whose escape from prison and exile to Algeria may have provided him with a cover story. A CIA memo recorded its Panther informant being overseas precisely when Leary was in Algeria.

The Panthers were little impressed with Leary. Panther leader Eldridge Cleaver stated that, “although he had no pretension of being a psychologist,” it was clear to him that there was “something seriously wrong with both Dr. Leary and his wife’s brains” as a result of them taking an “uncountable number of acid trips,” and that both were “nonfunctional in a political context.”

The same was true of much of the New Left at this time—in part due to false prophets like Leary having led it astray.

From Algeria, Leary went to Switzerland supposedly with the help of a CIA agent. How he got the funding to travel and live in the most expensive European country remains to be seen.

Captured subsequently as a fugitive, Leary was imprisoned again at Folsom, and then released in April 1976 by California Governor Jerry Brown after he became an FBI informant.

For a period during his incarceration in 1973, Leary was sent to the California Medical Facility at Vacaville, which was involved in CIA mind-control experiments, including one that led to the creation of the CIA cut-out Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), an ultra-radical left-wing cult that adopted outlandish rhetoric and carried out criminal acts as part of the effort to discredit left-wing politics.

Leary wrote suggestively that, when he went to Vacaville, “I was not there as a patient, but as a worker on the trusty staff.”

These comments lend the impression that Leary was continuously working for the CIA in mind-control projects that were designed to destroy the 1960s movement and political left.

People in the movement suspicious of Leary formed a group calling itself People Investigating Leary’s Lies (PILL). Yippie founder Abbie Hoffmann declared that “Timothy Leary is a name worse than Benedict Arnold,” while Allen Ginsberg said that Leary was “like Zabbath Zvi, false Messiah, accepted by millions of Jews centuries ago.”

Some years later, Hunter S. Thompson, said “Every time I think of Tim Leary I get angry. He was a liar and a quack and a worse human being than Richard Nixon. For the last twenty-six years of his life he worked as an informant for the FBI and turned his friends into the police and betrayed the peace symbol he hid behind.”

The End Of An Illusion

After Leary got out of prison in 1976, he stopped proselytizing for LSD and never again was involved in progressive politics in any way.

Just before his release, not coincidentally it seems, he wrote an article in the right-wing National Review attacking counter-cultural figures including John Lennon as a sell-out and phony, in terms later adopted by Lennon’s assassin Mark David Chapman, after he had been subjected to CIA mind control.

In the 1980s, Leary went on a speaking tour with Watergate felon G. Gordon Liddy, who had arrested him and shut down the Millbrook Estate, earning him at least $2,500 per appearance.

Leary also began designing computer software and hailed the coming of the information highway and potential for space travel before his death in 1996.

One of the organizations with which Leary was involved—the L5 Society, which promoted space colonization and establishment of private enterprise in space—was financed by a retired military officer with known intelligence connections.

Somehow, by this time, he had become wealthy despite not having any gainful employment since his firing from Harvard in 1963.

Leary’s career generally embodies how the so-called “deep state” effectively co-opted the youth movements of the 1960s and helped steer it into a destructive, non-political path.

The consequences have been cataclysmic, with the implosion of the 1960s left setting the groundwork for today’s dystopian political environment with two parties that have supported endless war, engaged in blatant corruption and the gutting of the social safety net.

Republished from COVERT ACTION

Erik Prince is the modern architect of private military firms. He’s the brain behind the infamous private military firm Blackwater and his current venture is mass killing civilians in Haiti with drones. The latest reporting is that he’s killed over 1,200 people, including children.

But he's been all over the world, building a global pipeline of mercenaries, recruiting everyone from American veterans to people in poorer countries who are willing to fight for a fraction of the price.

Prince is partially responsible for modernizing the private army for the post 9/11 world. The U.S. government loves plausible deniability, and that’s where private mercenaries come into play. When the U.S. isn’t supposed to be in a certain country, they can “truthfully” say they’re not operating there, because technically, they’re not. A mercenary is.

And the cherry on top—well for the U.S., certainly not the civilians in the countries they’re operating—is that these companies are able to skirt traditional regulations that are meant to ensure accountability for the U.S. Armed Forces. These mercenaries don’t have something like a Uniform Code of Military Justice or the Geneva Convention to follow. They are brutal. And they are deadly.

His journey from hiring mercenaries to help bolster the U.S. occupation in Iraq to training China’s military is long and dizzying. It also included stops around the world to train Colombian mercenaries to help make a private army for the U.A.E., to outfitting crop duster planes with missiles to be fired at Armenians.

Below is a partial breakdown to track Erik Prince’s activities over the years, with a list of countries/regions in or for which he has done business.

United States

Prince’s trip around the world starts in the United States.

The child of affluent Michigan parents, his family maintained deep ties to the Republican establishment and several conservative, religious organizations like American Values.

His sister, Betsy DeVos, married into one of the most influence political families in the Midwest, the DeVos’s, and began helping to run the Republican party machine in Michigan.

That marriage, which tied the Prince and DeVos family together, has given Erik unprecedented political access into the federal government.

His list of close allies includes Steve Bannon, U.S. President Donald Trump’s former chief strategist and Jeffrey Epstein’s good friend. His sister served as the United States Secretary of Education from 2017 to 2021, giving him a direct line of access to Trump.

Erik became a Navy SEAL and then established his own private military firm in 1997, Blackwater.

Once the U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003, Blackwater received billions of dollars in contracts from the U.S. government to help supplement the official mission with private boots on the ground, relatively free from accountability or laws from any particular government.

Iraq

Blackwater’s activities in Iraq are infamous and account for Prince’s self-imposed exile from the United States.

Apart from harassing Iraqi civilians and running them off of roads with their armored personnel carriers, they also indiscriminately gunned down 14 innocent people in Baghdad in 2007, drawing an investigation and heavy criticism from media outlets around the world.

The incident stands as a cautionary tale for when mercenary groups such as Blackwater are able to operate without sufficient legal or logistical oversight.

Facing a wave of scrutiny, Prince left Blackwater and the firm changed its name twice (to Xe and then Academi) to escape the heat.

Many thought, and hoped, that they had seen the end of Erik Prince, but he resurfaced later at the helm of a different private military company.

In 2020, Donald Trump pardoned all 4 people who were convicted of murdering these innocent Iraqi civilians.

U.A.E.

In 2011, Erik Prince was appointed by the crown prince of Abu Dhabi to make a secret, private army. For this, he was paid $529 million.

The mission of this privately commissioned battalion included,

“intelligence gathering, urban combat, the securing of nuclear and radioactive materials, humanitarian missions and special operations ‘to destroy enemy personnel and equipment,’ and crowd-control.”

Prince hired Colombians and nationals of other countries thousands of miles away to fill his ranks for two reasons.

First, Prince was looking to pay them as little as possible. Second, they weren’t Muslims. Prince surmised that Muslims could not be trusted to kill other Muslims.

A few years later in 2015, Saudi Arabia began its military intervention in Yemen and recruited a host of other Arab nations to join its coalition.

Abu Dhabi’s crown prince, business partner to Erik Prince, Sheik Mohamed bin Zayed al-Nahyan, signed up for the cause in order to destroy any creeping Iranian influence in the war-torn nation.

Yemen

Erik Prince and his U.A.E. private military firm helped recruit and train over 1,000 soldiers from Latin American countries. Then their bodies started appearing on battlefields in Yemen.

A single missile reportedly killed 45 mercenaries from the U.A.E.

Prince's initial battalion of 800 soldiers had blossomed into almost 2,000 specialized troops hired mostly from Latin America to do the U.A.E.'s business.

Although officials say Erik Prince's formal business role with the U.A.E. had ended several years before the intervention into Yemen, his corporate blueprint to partially outsource the U.A.E.'s military is doubtlessly still in use.

The U.A.E. keeping and even expanding Prince's blueprint for a private, outsourced army demonstrates just how influential he and his mercenary business model has become.

Azerbaijan

After his stint in the U.A.E., Prince began doing more business with Chinese executives at the Frontier Services Group (FSG), which he co-founded.

On this new enterprise, Prince said it,

“is not a patriotic endeavor,” rather, it is intended “to build a great business and make some money doing it.”

Interestingly enough, Prince’s business with FSG took him to Azerbaijan, where he was paid by the government to help it deal with its Armenian problem.

Armenians are concentrated into Azerbaijan’s Nagorno-Karabakh region, which seceded from Azerbaijan and formed a semi-recognized, de facto state.

Azerbaijan called on Erik Prince and FSG to help it keep watch on the Nagorno-Karabakh region, also called the Republic of Artsakh.

In response, Prince wanted to show the government two crop duster planes meant for agricultural use but refitted for military purposes. The planes were meant to be outfitted with state-of-the-art surveillance technology and were supposedly able to fire missiles.

They never made it to Azerbaijan after an investigation shut the sale down. This is because the deal may have broken several laws.

The Washington Post found that,

“executives were concerned that the company might be skirting U.S. law - known as International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) - requiring Americans to obtain special permits before defense-related technology can be transferred to foreign countries.”

In response to this controversial arms trade, all but two Americans on the FSG executive board quit due to concerns that he was not serving U.S. interests.

This has freed Prince to deal more closely with the Chinese.

Eastern Africa

FSG’s public focus is on providing security and logistical “help” to eastern African countries such as South Sudan, Kenya, Somalia and the DRC.

“When you want logistics done in Africa, you call DHL,” said Sean McFate, a former military contractor in Africa and current expert on mercenaries at the Atlantic Council.

“When you want muscle, you call Erik Prince.”

South Sudan, Somalia and the DRC are among the most exploited and poorest countries in the world, so I don’t think the civilians in either of these countries would say FSG helped them much at all.

China

FSG’s headquarters is in Hong Kong, and though it publicly states that its focus is on eastern Africa, FSG was reported to be doing domestic work on behalf of the Chinese government.

One of FSG’s missions was to train thousands of security personnel in China’s northwest Xinjiang province, where millions of ethnically Turkic Muslims called Uyghurs live.

Uyghurs are routinely targeted by the state due to continuous attempts by some to break away from China and form an independent state.

Human Rights Watch accused the Chinese government of “deploying a predictive policing program,” using massive surveillance technology and a web of high-tech surveillance cameras and compulsory data collection.

They’ve also reportedly sent thousands of Uyghurs to Chinese ‘re-education’ camps.

To Recap:

Erik Prince co-founded a security company alongside Chinese state investors, during Trump’s first term. He held top executive control and served as the public face, and they operated in Africa, Asia and inside of China, while at the same time, his sister was serving inside of Trump’s administration.

…got it. The whole “rules for thee but not for me” thing. Okay.

Mercenary-In-Chief

This list only details a few of Erik Prince’s ventures, and does not include an attempt by Prince to send thousands of mercenaries into Afghanistan to “reform” the political structure of the entire country to essentially be a colony of the United States.

Thanks to Erik Prince, outsourcing military and intelligence labor is now the norm.

The global private security industry is worth around $277 billion and is projected to reach over $530 billion by the early 2030s. In the United States alone, the industry is worth around $49 billion.

Governments all around the world use these companies to exploit poorer countries, and to rape, murder and pillage their people, and they are very rarely held accountable for anything that they do.

Their motivation is not God and country, their motive is money.

Imagine how demonic one must be to profit from war, death, destruction and chaos. Making billions of dollars off of human suffering, millions of whom are children. Their evil truly knows no bounds.
