America vs. the MAGA-Industrial Complex

Have you seen the ruling classes’ latest ploy for holding onto power rather than allow the public to hold them accountable through straightforward and honest elections? It’s clear as day to anyone with eyes to see. And the fact that the powerful now operate as much within the “MAGA” brand as in the Democratic establishment shouldn’t blind us. If we let it, then even some of the best of us will soon be taken in – becoming useful idiots for the same ruling classes that the MAGA movement was founded to oppose.

I’m referring to the new game of stirring up hatred against our neighbors of Middle-Eastern and Eastern heritage and labeling all dissenters against U.S.- and Israeli-led wars and war crimes as “radicals” and “communists.”

We see this new establishment ploy playing out in the latest anti-establishment electoral victory in Michigan, especially when it comes to the rhetoric surrounding Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed – an outspoken critic of Israeli-U.S. foreign policy and of the military-industrial-complex Trumpism originally presented itself as being against.

GOP Senator Ted Cruz and maniacal pro-war Trump advisor Laura Loomer say El-Sayed’s primary victory represents the beginning of a “communist takeover of the Democratic Party” and (at the same time!) an “Islamic takeover of America” at large.

GOP Rep. Nancy Mace flatly says El-Sayed is a “terrorist.” Conservative CNN commentator Scott Jennings: “This man wants Israelis, Arabs, Americans & anyone else who steps foot in Israel to die.” Mike Pompeo: El-Sayed is a “Hamas supporter” (in fact the candidate has condemned Hamas). Neocon John Podhoretz came up with a particularly telling conflation of Democratic Socialists of America and Muslims, calling El-Sayed a “DSA jihadist.”

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump says El-Sayed is both a communist and a candidate who “hates Jews” and “hates Israel.” Trump also continually draws attention to the candidate’s name – clearly making the point that a person with such an un-American name (as if there were such a thing) has no business in office.

Trump is perhaps one of the more inadvertently honest of the public figures now serving as slavish lackeys of the ruling classes. At least he names Israel as the thing on behalf of which he opposes El-Sayed – though he also engages in the old false conflation of all Jews with Prime Minister Netanyahu’s corrupt and unpopular government.

Because yes, all of this fomenting of hatred is about one thing: U.S.-Israeli violence and crimes – especially against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

But here’s where those of us with eyes to see can find the whole point and the whole nature of this new ploy: Since that violence has proved to be morally indefensible (every poll shows the public’s moral outrage against Israel’s U.S.-funded genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing operation in the West Bank), the ruling classes have directed their servants – in the media, among advocacy groups, in Congress, and even in the White House – to instead simply stir up public hate and fear against Muslims as Jihadists and against political resistance as communist and inherently un-American.

The Trojan Horse Inside Your Head: How Government Propaganda Is Quietly Dismantling Free Thought

If the Trojan War were being fought today, the Greeks would not need to hide inside of a big, wooden horse and hope to be dragged inside Troy’s city gates.  They’d simply disseminate all kinds of lies on social media and wait for the Trojan people to fight each other.  Such is the power of corrosive ideas: They can destroy a civilization before its defenders understand that they are under attack.

Information warfare is the name of the game today.  It exists all around us.  Soundbites attack us from every phone, computer, tablet, and television screen.  Succinct messages ripple through social media platforms until people from opposite sides of the world repeat the same words without knowing why.

The most powerful bits of information are the ones that sound unquestionably true.  “Believe all women.”  “Black lives matter.”  “Build back better.”  Their simplicity assists their deception.  We certainly shouldn’t distrust women, right?  Who wants to argue that black lives mean nothing?  Surely nobody wishes to build something worse than it was before.  People hear the soundbites, nod their heads, and repeat those words to their friends and neighbors.  Some place signs in their yards with those three-word messages, as if they were brilliant expositions of fundamental truths.

Successful information warfare propagates ideas without triggering in those who receive the message any need for reflection.  Like the Greeks’ wooden horse, the communication is hollow.  It is intended to be just attractive enough that listeners drag the soundbite into their heads but sufficiently harmless in appearance to avoid real scrutiny.  Great propaganda does not conquer by force.  It seduces.  It knocks on the door, smiles, and charms its way into unsuspecting minds.  Then it waits — patiently — until the day arrives when it can do the most damage.

Effective propaganda, however, is inherently fragile.  Should anyone take the time to reflect on those three-word messages above, their magic spells are broken.  Once someone asks, “Don’t some women lie?” people remember that accusations matter less than evidentiary proof.  Once a person is shouted down for saying, “All lives matter,” it becomes clear that “diversity” and “equity” have nothing to do with equality and justice.  When anyone stops to ask, “What are we building, and why are we building it?” the World Economic Forum’s plans for a “new world order” stand naked and exposed.

In other words, thinking is the enemy of information warfare.  Those who engage in its dark arts see independent thinkers as missile shields that must be eliminated.  Reason and rational debate remain the most effective defenses against propaganda.  People who ask questions build forts for society with their minds.  The entrances to those forts are adorned with this sign: Come let us reason together.

Reasoned debate is not scary; on the contrary, it is the path upon which we walk toward enlightenment.  It is why people who demand complianceshould never be trusted.  Anyone who says, “The science is settled,” or, “Trust the experts,” seeks to deprive the listener not only of his capacity to reason but also of his prospect for salvation.  When we forsake the mental gifts that God has given us, we hobble our potential for spiritual growth.  Nobody has ever been redeemed for “just following orders.”  A good life comes from good choices, and good choices come from faithful contemplation.  In this way, attacks on free speech are attacks on our very souls.

When propagandists attack our souls from all directions, it is difficult to know who is waging war against us and why.  But there are telltale signs.  When groups and governments attempt to “cancel” individuals for their personal beliefs, they are waging war against individual conscience.

The Real Point Of The “Patriot Front” Psy-Op

Over the Fourth of July weekend, Washington DC found itself beset by the “Patriot Front”, about 400 guys in matching outfits, with white balaclavas covering their faces and waving flags about.

The (relatively small) gathering walked about a bit, did some marching, waved some flags…and scared the press to death!

They’re not real, of course.

The running joke has already become they are barely-disguised federal agents indulging in some rather lame propaganda, even as some members of rightwing defend both their realness and their aims.

Apparently they do community projects and stuff.

Regardless, they are not real. Even if they’re not literally all FBI agents – which we can’t actually rule out – they are a psy-op to some extent or another.

Just look at them. And you can just look at them, do you know why? Because they’re all over the press and social media.

Several similarly themed “lone ethnic minority surrounded by faceless Nazis” pictures all sprang up at once, which is suspicious in and of itself, but this is the one that really stuck.

Both the bots and people who don’t realise they’ve become bots are promoting it all over the place. “It should win a Pulitzer prize” they say. “This photo will define our age.“

The COVID Reckoning That Never Came

The COVID Reckoning That Never Came… And the Silence That Proves the Psyop

Over the last several years I have been posting nonstop on X about the same nightmares we’ve been living through…the COVID psyop, the experimental mRNA shots, the mandates that destroyed lives, the injuries, the excess deaths, and the relentless propaganda machine that tried to silence anyone who noticed the bodies piling up. I have watched it all in real time: the fear porn, the goalpost moving, the “safe and effective” lies repeated like gospel while real-world data told a different story.

Now we have fresh, documented revelations that should have blown the lid off of everything. Instead? Crickets from the media and, more disappointingly, from the current administration that promised accountability.

Senator Ron Johnson dropped another devastating report and hearing in late April 2026: “Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Signals.” Internal records show FDA officials knew their VAERS monitoring was inadequate to say least. They had better data-mining tools ready to flag clear safety signals: cardiac deaths, strokes, pulmonary issues, Bell’s palsy but they chose not to use them. Why? To avoid “vaccine hesitancy.”

This was not screw-up territory. It was deliberate. Vaccine-injured people sat across from Peter Marks and other top FDA brass begging for acknowledgment. They got stonewalled. Johnson rightly calls this one of the biggest scandals in his decades in public service. Then in early June he held another hearing exposing potential cancer links to the mRNA shots and the systematic suppression of critical studies. Same playbook: inconvenient science gets buried or attacked.

Around the same time, Tulsi Gabbard, in one of her final moves as DNI, declassified documents laying out Fauci’s role in funding gain-of-function research at Wuhan, the lab-leak cover-up, the intelligence manipulation, and the retaliation against truth-tellers. Millions of taxpayer dollars funneled into risky biolabs, followed by the full narrative-control machine kicking in to blame nature instead of the obvious.

These are not anonymous X threads. This is a sitting Senator with subpoena power and the former Director of National Intelligence dropping official records.

So where is the firestorm? Where are the front-page exposés, the prime-time specials, the demands for real hearings and prosecutions? In 1976 the swine flu vaccine was pulled after 25 deaths and 500 cases of Guillain Barre Syndrome. In the covid shot era we have approximately 39,000 deaths reported to VAERS following the shot. Apparently lives got cheaper over the last 50 years. The legacy media has mostly ignored it, downplayed it, or run the usual “right-wing conspiracy” dismissals. Paid to lie… and crickets on recent FDA COVID vax revelations. Their complicity is not an understatement, rather it was essential to the entire psyop.

Even more frustrating is the relative silence from the current Trump administration. After years of vowing to expose the lies and drain the swamp on the pandemic response, these revelations land and… not much follow-through. No aggressive push for accountability. No sustained public reckoning for the officials who covered up safety signals or manipulated the origins story. That silence hits hard. Additionally the vaccines are still on the market and this administration is now complicit. What an epic failure!

The Commies Are Coming! The Israel Factor Behind the New Red Scare

In June, a slew of progressive Democrats won primaries in some cases upending incumbents with long careers in Washington. Following in the footsteps Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral victory in New York City in 2025, Brad Lander, Claire Valdez, and Darializa Avila Chevalier bested their opponents and in the case of Lander and a Chevalier, defeated sitting House members.

Meanwhile, in Colorado, 29-year-old Merat Kiros beat 30-year House incumbent Dianne DeGette in their Democratic primary. So what is the through line here? Israel. All have criticized the war in Gaza and pledged not to take money from AIPAC or vote for more military aid for Israel.

These current political events encapsulate a party enmeshed in inner turmoil. While party leaders and the consultant class want to ignore it, ordinary voters, especially Democrats, have been turning against Israel over its war in Gaza, the annexation and settler violence in the West Bank and its expansionist policies in Lebanon and Syria. This, many say, cost them the presidency in 2024.

On the other hand, while the progressive wing, many of whom are carrying the mantle of the Democratic Socialists of America, are gaining traction, the MAGA movement is struggling to reconcile President Trump’s war and the fraught economy at home. Many on the Right, too, are blaming the Israeli government’s zeal for conflict and its grip on Trump’s foreign policy and say this is far from “America First.”

To keep these two factions from working together, Trump and the Republicans have exhumed the Cold War era “Red Scare” against the upstart progressives. It’s an age old wedge — the Commies are coming! Will it work?

Here to talk about it this week are Annelle Sheline, a research fellow at the Quincy Institute, who resigned the State Department in 2024 in protest of the Biden Administration’s Gaza policy. Also joining us is Erik Sperling, Executive Director of Just Foreign Policy and former staffer to Democratic Reps. Ro Khanna and John Conyers.

Trump Cultism Is Just a Modern-Day Operation Trust: Why ‘Trust the Plan’ Is a PSYOP For the Weak-Minded

The Same Old Lie, New Packaging

Over the last 10 years or so, I have watched the “trust the plan” mantra sweep through the MAGA faithful like a religious revival. It is a direct replica of the Soviet Operation Trust, a psychological operation designed to keep people passive and compliant while their enemies consolidate power.

The original Operation Trust, which ran from 1921 to 1926, tricked anti-Bolshevik exiles into believing a fake resistance movement would overthrow the regime — all to prevent real action and to expose anyone who might actually fight back. As I previously reported, this Bolshevik psyop created a phantom organization that promised imminent salvation, but delivered only betrayal and inaction. [1]

Today, QAnon followers and Trump loyalists are fed the exact same story: wait for mass arrests, a golden age, and a savior. Nothing ever materializes, but the excuses keep coming. The pattern is so obvious that even mainstream observers have noted the resemblance. [1] The most disturbing part is how the same psychological manipulation that kept Russians docile in the 1920s now keeps many Americans trapped in a cycle of hope and disappointment. I believe this is not a coincidence — it is a deliberate strategy refined over a century.

Operation Trust: A Soviet Blueprint for Inaction

Let me break down the original Operation Trust so you can see how perfectly it maps onto today’s Trump cult. The Bolsheviks, facing collapse after the Russian Civil War, invented a fake anti-communist organization called the “Monarchist Union of Central Russia” — fronted by a former tsarist official — to pacify opponents. The message was clear: “You don’t have to do anything — just trust the plan.” Any dissidents who demanded real action were labeled traitors or infiltrators. [1] This is exactly what we hear today from influencers pushing the idea that Trump’s every failure is part of a grand strategy we cannot see.

We’re just supposed to trust it. Even when the Trump regime pushes mass glyphosate poisoning, new pesticides, more vaccines and more wars.

The Soviet GPU ran this operation for five years, draining the energy of genuine resistance movements while maintaining the illusion that victory was just around the corner. [1] David Icke documented how the same Sabbatian control system uses leaders as fall-guys to divide and pacify populations. [2] The parallel is unmistakable: the message “trust the plan” is not a promise of deliverance — it is a tool of psychological pacification that keeps believers glued to their screens instead of taking real action.

Trump’s Record: Broken Promises and a Financial Looting

Let’s look at what the plan has actually delivered. Trump promised to end wars, but he started a new war with Iran that has already cost trillions (globally) and destabilized the Middle East. [3] He promised to drain the swamp, but his administration granted immunity to glyphosate poisoners, approved toxic forever chemicals, and made no arrests of election fraudsters or Fauci. [4]

The Saudi Crown Prince lost confidence in Trump after the U.S. failure in Iran, and even Iran’s negotiator mocked his “Operation Trust Me Bro.” [5] [6] Every excuse from believers — “It’s part of the plan” — is just a delay tactic to keep them docile.

Meanwhile, the Epstein files vanished, the J6 prisoners remain in jail, and Trump’s DOJ floated NDAs for federal employees to suppress leaks. [7] [8] The promise of mass arrests and accountability has become a cruel joke. I have documented how Trump’s war with Iran was an unconstitutional act that shattered the republic. [4] The believers refuse to see that “trust the plan” is the oldest con in the book: keep your marks hoping for tomorrow while you loot them today.

Why People Still Believe: The Addiction to Hopium

Years of missed deadlines — the quantum financial system, the Q drops, the mass arrests — should have broken the spell, but followers cling to numerology and new dates. This is a psychological addiction: hoping feels better than facing reality. As Aaron Day exposed in his investigation of quantum deception scams, these con artists maintain suspense by constantly delaying the promised reset or payouts, thereby securing ongoing subscription revenue. [9] The same blueprint is used in fake churches and crypto scams; it is a method of extracting compliance and money from desperate people. [9]

The global elite know that hopium keeps people mentally sick, unable to question the narrative, and they shun anyone who points out the obvious con. Geddes Martin wrote about how the entrenched two-tier justice system and endemic corruption depend on a passive population that believes salvation will come from above. [10] I have seen this cycle destroy families who gave everything to the cause, only to be left bankrupt and betrayed. The addiction to false hope is the most dangerous drug of all.

The Alternative: Act, Don’t Just Trust

Real empowerment comes from taking concrete action. I never tell you to sit back and do nothing — I give you steps that increase your resilience: grow your own food, stack gold and silver, use decentralized tools, and prepare for collapse. [11] [12] In my interview with David Morgan, we discussed how silver and gold are the most honest forms of money in a world of fiat collapse. [11] Building a solar system, a home garden, and a stockpile of clean water and non-perishable food are tangible acts that no government can take from you.

If someone tells you to sit back and trust, that is the biggest red flag. The same pattern appears in fake churches that demand tithes while the pastor lives in luxury, and in crypto scams that promise astronomical returns. [9] I have seen too many people lose everything because they waited for a false savior. Do not be one of them. Place your trust in your own hands, your own knowledge, and your own ability to provide for yourself and your family.

Patriot Front Agitprop Group Tries to Ruin America 250 Celebration in Washington

You may be familiar with the agitprop group called the Patriot Front. They always showed up at convenient times when the Democrats were in power, obviously to make it look like the right is nothing but khaki-wearing white supremacists akin to the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).

Of course, this was before the arrival of the second Trump administration and its Department of Justice, which is presently investigating the leftist Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) on allegations it was behind the funding and support of several real white supremacists and white supremacist groups, including the actual KKK.

More often than not, everyday conservatives on the X platform, along with well-known conservatives, will say the same thing about the Patriot Front. No one knows anyone involved in the group or who supports it. It’s not even clear what they’re trying to accomplish, or what they’re all about beyond a few chants designed to provide the impression this is the second coming of the KKK.

I mean no one. For this reason, the common refrain among conservatives is that this has to be a bunch of feds conducting an op that’s designed to try to smear the right.

With the Trump administration in charge of the intelligence community, specifically the FBI, people have assumed the reason we haven’t heard from the Patriot Front since Trump came back served as proof that the group consisted mostly of feds all along.

The Nocebo Effect: The Real PsyOp Behind Fake Pandemics

When authorities tell you to be afraid of a virus, your mind can make symptoms real, even when no pathogen exists. This is not conspiracy theory; it’s documented science, and it has been weaponized against the public for decades. The nocebo effect — the evil twin of the placebo — is the key to understanding how pandemics are manufactured as psychological operations. The word “nocebo” means “I will harm” in Latin, and that’s exactly what this phenomenon does: it turns negative expectations into real physical harm.

The idea that a suggestion can make you sick is as old as medicine itself, yet it has been deliberately ignored by the scientific establishment because it threatens the entire foundation of the infectious disease model. Research on the nocebo effect in the context of COVID-19 shows that the pandemic produced a “nocebodemic effect” characterized by mass negative interpretation of health services and medical treatments. When combined with the fear narrative pumped out by governments and media, this creates a perfect storm of psychogenic illness that requires no actual virus to produce symptoms. The institutions that profit from sickness have learned to weaponize this effect on a scale never seen before.

Deepfakes, Silence, and Strategy: How Netanyahu’s Absence Sparked Media Crisis

Speculation surrounding the alleged disappearance of Benjamin Netanyahu has gone beyond mere rumor, becoming part of a broader information confrontation between Israel and Iran. The absence of clear, verifiable public appearances by the Israeli prime minister has created a vacuum quickly filled by competing narratives and digital content of questionable authenticity.

Digital Doubles and the Crisis of Trust

Attempts by Israeli sources to demonstrate that Netanyahu remains active have sparked debate online. Some commentators and bloggers have pointed to visual inconsistencies in circulated videos, suggesting possible digital manipulation. These claims, however, remain unverified and should be treated with caution.

At the same time, limited official communication has contributed to speculation. In highly sensitive security environments, reduced public visibility of political leaders is not unusual, but in the current media landscape it often leads to mistrust and competing interpretations.

“Information noise around Netanyahu reflects a classic demoralization strategy, where even minor technical inconsistencies are amplified into claims of dramatic events,”

said political analyst Mikhail Egorov in comments to Pravda.Ru.

How Iran Shapes the Narrative

Iranian media and commentators have focused on raising questions rather than making direct claims, highlighting the lack of consistent imagery and communication from the Israeli leadership. This approach allows them to influence the narrative without issuing statements that could be easily disproven.

Epstein and the coming “age of accountability” psy-op

In the wake Prince Andrew’s arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer gave an interview in which he said “nobody is above the law.”

And the media lost no time in proving my point. Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson echoed it in an interview of her own. Everyone from Al Jazeera to the South China Morning Post has taken up the cry.

In one of those curiously timed coincidences, the UN actually used the same exact phrase just a day before Sir Keir.

Then there’s this long article in the Atlantic, I won’t sport with your intelligence by relating the bulk of the text, we concern ourselves only with the concluding paragraph:

The former Prince Andrew acted as he did because he lived in a world in which someone like him never faced consequences. That isn’t true anymore.

That’s the narrative in a nutshell. The system is fair and treats everyone the same. Old Guard bad, corruption being rooted out, accountability for the old boys club. Like #MeToo on crack.

In this vein we have the arrest of Peter Mandelson.

The investigation, and alleged attempted suicide, of Norway’s former PM Thorbjørn Jagland

The resignation of World Economic Forum chief Børge Brende over his “Epstein links”

The “retirement” of Harvard President and former Treasury Secretary of Larry Summers

Even stuff as small as the revelation of Bill Gates’ affairs with a couple of Russian women.

None of those latter four come close to actual arrests, of course. And the story is very much that while the UK (and Europe in general) are willing to act on Epstein, the US is lagging behind.
