Lol. Z's troll farm was reportedly 90% funded by USAID.

Since the cut, the MOA trolls seem to have vanished. 😂

"supposedly!"

MOA had become an unreadable mess as one regular or another succumbed to the troll-trap.

Suddenly maybe half as many posts. Not seeing the regular trolls in the Ukr discussions.

Still a couple Zios in Palestine, but Izzies aid wasn't cut & Izzie is expanding its genocide pr budget

And, as if that wasn’t enough, newly translated clay tablets unearthed near the Dead Sea indicate that Sodom and Gomorrah were funded by USAID. The records, which were unearthed and translated by a team of archaeologists from the University of Chicago, seem to indicate that the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were funded by American tax shekels until fire and brimstone rained down from above and wiped them out. "It was pretty standard stuff," says Jackson Haviland, the lead archeologist on the dig. "A few million shekels for gay orgies, an allotment for raping visitors, several thousand for teaching young Gomorrahan kids that they were born in the wrong body”… Then wipeout - all but three were killed, but it was a sacrifice worth making. At least that’s what Babylon Bee is reporting.

Thanks, that was a much-needed explanation of 'soft power'. The CIA learned that 'bang for the buck' from Hollywood and from rigging the Nobel Prize for Literature (relatively cheap to buy the already somewhat Nazi egg-heads) was 'money well spent' - to quote John McCain's wife, Lindsey.

They enjoyed rigging the prize for Pasternak's Dr Zhivago, and also had fun stealing the rights to, and publication of, The GULAG Archipelago by Solzhenitsyn. (The YMCA Press was a CIA cutout.) The USSR was considering publishing it and were promoting, within the USSR, Solzhenitsyn's novels and short stories in preparation for printing 'Arkhipelag GULAG'. It was a very fine football-style turnover and conversion by the CIA. And a textbook case of 'soft-power' by the West.

All that quickly degenerated to framing Russia out of the Olympics, rigging the Euro-Vision song 'contest' and finally, to promoting the execrable "Pussy Riot" - without even bothering to explain in the West that Russians not only had no idea who, what, or why they were but also had no idea what the name of that talent-less coven of exhibitionists and narcissists even meant. The name was, tellingly, entirely in English.

When the Judaeo UkroZionazis installed in Kiev joined the 'soft power' fray, the entire Red Army Chorus went down in a 'plane crash' on the Black Sea, as did Flight MH17. Like the German Nazi SS before them, the CIA should have been horrified at the antics of Kiev but they were steeled to such responses by the overwhelming influence and power of the Zionazis who by then were firmly in charge of both the CIA and the USSD. Soft power had been reinterpreted by the people who called themselves, through the smoke and blood on the Maidan - the "Heart of Europe." They were, actually, the "Heart of the West" and that heart was black.

Soft power and false flag terrorism intersect. As with MH17.

Funny, I had just written you about the demise of newspapers. This is a great article. Soft power" and the controlling the narrative is one of the greatest challenges in this digital age to an informed citizen. Again thanks for your fighting the good fight.

Yes, I just saw that today. Thank you . I consulted with one of the world's most notable experts (a long list of books) on "soft power" , as to soft power in Asia. However, I dislike the term -- not mention the concept itself.

American presidents are like stand up comedians. They entertain the masses by saying outrageous things about how exceptional the USA is, how they take safety and security of the populace seriously and that they have a special friend in the Middle East.

Whilst they have their comedy hour, which mostly lasts four years, the venue that hosts them charges for tickets, wines and dines the special guests, and goes about business as usual. Below the venue has a couple of underground floors where the real gangsters meet to sell weapons, discuss who to erase/torture, which source of oil to steal next...

My point? The comedian is there to distract and entertain and to illicit applause so the real business below ground level can go about undisturbed.

Trump will change nothing, except that the media is going to repeat outrageous claim after outrageous claim until everybody gets Trumped out. I've reached my fill and it has only been 3 weeks!

By the time the basement mafia enact their vile plans, the world will just accept them because "Trump said so at some point fatigue".

It seems to me the mafia is running out of money, and the instructions to the comedian are to withdraw from anything and everything and to try and prepare for more stealing of resources in any which way possible. All because of the sneaky Chinese.

The USA is overextended - it has a huge stockmarket bubble looming, it needs cheap energy, more resources, more manufacturing and better infrastructure to compete in a multipolar world. The New World Order/Rules based Order dreams are imploding. It certainly is going to rock the world's stability for decades to come.

To understand the American "Bubble" you have only to look at the Japanese "Bubble" which burst in the 90s, leading to the "Lost Decade". The main factor was the strong yen. Previously, a weak yen had made Japanese exports cheap. Japan had grown from complete collapse -- and economic "levelling" in 1945, It focused on innovative corporate development and also graduating a huge number of engineers and technical specialists in different fields. They were able to leapfrog complacent US industries in consumer fields . The US had nothing much to sell Japan that matched Japanese needs. No, beef didn't match. The Japanese weren't used to eating it. The yen was cheap-- which led to capital investment in Japanese stock but discouraged Japanese investment in American capital. When the yen strengthened -- at US direction-- a lot of foreign investors cashed out to take profit, while Japanese investors now could buy US stocks which were now relatively cheaper by 2 or 3 times. At the same time, Japanese exports took a beating. The bubble burst.  moved its production facilities overseas to cope.Current financialization boosts the dollar. But at the same time, It creates a bubble.The country cannot re-industrialize. It cannot deal with its debt.

Ever since I was a student at university, I have thought that Hitler's biggest mistake was one of omission. If he had given Goebbels and his people 1% of the resources that went into the Wehrmacht and the Waffen-SS, he could have taken over Europe without any fighting at all.

Expand full comment

This is a good point. I think that Hitler thought somehow that is propaganda machine was only for Germans, which is probably true -- US propaganda is far more sophisticated and targets a wider audience.

Europe is inherently Nazi and barely fought back at all as it was.

Expand full comment

Also a good point. Nazism was inherently Russophobic and anti-Semitic. The rest of Europe, not to mention the Anglosphere shared those sentiments. The British and the French did not care about such things -- they just saw a threat to their respective hegemonies.

Do not mistake the ruling Lobby-Network Elites with 'The Europeans'.

I agree with you that this elite is NAZI, through and through and fanatic.

Since the Collapse of the US- Neocon Hub by Trump, the Monster below the US Deep State has fled to its origin: 'The City of London' and from there keeps trying to drag the US/Trump into a full war on Russia (Currently focus on the Baltics, Navy & Airforce).

But a growing support in Europe for what ironically is Labelled 'Far-Right' (name used to keep people who feel they are classical socialists, or 'Left' from supporting them) is clearly visible.

And those dancing trans Republic's

As Trump attacks foreign spending on “woke” initiatives, a GOP-aligned outfit has largely escaped scrutiny, despite using taxpayer funds to sponsor “transgender dance performances” and what it called the “largest published survey of LGBTI people in Bangladesh.”

According to documents obtained by The Grayzone, the US-funded International Republican Institute sees gay and transgender people as uniquely disruptive actors who can be deployed to manipulate political realities overseas, stating, “LGBTI people tend to participate in social change activities to eventually bring changes to politics.”

Read part one of The Grayzone’s investigation into International Republican Institute’s activities in Bangladesh here.

‘ Such manipulations would not work in the US which is a much more sophisticated environment.’ Sophisticated? Have you come across any MSM recently, like, in the last 10 years?

You wrote: "... Ukrainian propaganda is orchestrated from, if not written, in Washington."

Do not rule out a 'Made in Canada' label for Ukro-Nazionist propaganda. What other country has or 'had' (hard to tell as democracy in Canada is on life-support at best) a Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister-in-one... ugly, dwarfish, allegedly front-holed body, who tried to conceal real estate on the Maidan in Kyh-jeeve and whose beloved grandfather had been a high-ranking UkroNazi propagandist for Hitler who fuelled with hate the Waffen SS batallions of the day?

Pardon all the messy sub-clauses but Canada is now very much a multi-sub-clausal state.

In a sentence apart: add to the foregoing that George Soros is the Global Mafia 'point man' not only for the WEF and the Biden Mafia, which stole billions from The US (through Ukraine), but the Grand Wizened Club-Footed Prince of Talmudic Darkness rules the Canadian kleptocracy as well. His Cloven Hoofedness is equally honored and revered in both failed states, Canada and The Ukraine - as are his policies. Canada, in which, mostly Nazi, Ukrainians were already one of the largest minorities, is about to have a transfusion of another million or so Azov batallion types. The preemptive granting of millions of visas for when the Great Migration of Ukro Zionazis begins in earnest was one of DPM Monister [sic] Freeland's last acts before she was removed (she then 'resigned') from official power in Canada.

Yes, you are right in that.

I think Canada (and Australia) are even more directly 'managed' by 'The City of London', than the US was. But now the US has fallen out and this truth comes out.

They never were part of the US, the US was part of the older Monster: 'The City of London', that exists ~2000 years and was joined again by the Byzantium+Khazarian split-off in the WW-1.

Thank you Julian, i agree with your choices of importance in the chaos about POTUS' plans.

The Propaganda-machine's spreading POISON must be exposed and exterminated.

Attack the Roots of the Evil, then slowly exterminate the rear-cover units that try to slow Trump team's advance.

There is a lot of noise about Trump's recent 'Performance' with/for Bibi on Gaza...

Scott Ritter says this about it, i agree, i give it a 67.5 % Probability to be mainly true:

->https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHruEgdXyOA&t=1064s (It starts at the right place)

About this i am 97.5% certain:

When Trump is going to do what he seems to have said according to most Media on Israel, his Revolution will be destroyed within a year by his own followers and by the rest of the world.

It's not just the deepstate and all this media synchronization, it's above all the failure of management to underestimate the effects of digitization and by the time this happened it was already too late.

The decline of journalism began with the arrival of the "social" media. they gradually dug up the traditional monopoly on reality.The conspiracy theorist hysteria is comparable to the inquisition that ended with the printing press. Anyone who compares the traditional print media of today with their former circulation and scope will immediately recognize that these publications have become increasingly thin due to a lack of sufficient advertising. This is not only due to a lack of advertising revenue, but above all to the exclusively commercial strategies, the dismissal of expensive journos and the hiring of young "malleable" people who were brought directly from the respective journalism schools but did not produce quality. Who will pay high advertising costs for quality-less trash? And then the PR fuzzis in Pentagon of course pick those who are more in line which the agenda of the Pentagon not their critics.

"So you see Jeff Bezo and the Zuck and Google trying to cozy up to Trump at his inauguration. And giving him money. Not that Zuck has stopped banning me."

You conveniently left out deep state contractor Feeelon Muck... 😉

"No matter. Right now, Trump is focused on revenge."

No, Trump is focused on Making Israel Great Again and basically doing the same thing as ObamaBiden was doing before him: continue to build the US Empire;

1) Peace in Ukraine even "in 24 hours as President-elect?" No thanks, Donny prefers to send more weapons in exchange for Ukraine's natural resources, while his goons (Hegseth) are demanding that Ukraine lower the conscription age. Just another repeat of 2017 when Trump said "yeeees yeeess, I know the Rushyaaans" and then continued to a) levy unprecedented sanctions against Russia b) end the INF Missile Treaty with Russia, c) move US troops to Poland and Romania (next to Ukraine!) and d) escalate from Obama's NON-lethal aid to Trump's LETHAL military aid for the UkroNazis.

2) 'Ending foreign meddling?' No thanks, Mafia Boss Trump prefers to make Panama, Greenland and Canada 'offers that they can't refuse.'

3) "Genocide Joe?" Yes, thanks Joe for helping to destroy Gaza, now "Ethnic-Cleansing-Donny" can continue where Bibi and Joe left off...again as with Russia/Ukraine where Trump in 2017 continued where Obama left off. Good cop, bad cop...the oldest game in the world but the Trumptards fall for it every single time. 😃

4) 'Ending USAID?' Let's wait and see. So far this just looks like a Mafia Shakedown => shut off the money supply, make everybody scream and panic, and then make them Kiss Donny's Ring.

5) Remember how Trump 1.0 was going to make peace on the Korean Peninsula? Sure...and then "Bolton sabotaged it." Yes folks the SAME Bolton that Trump HIMSELF hired!

"Trump is a new political OS. And he needs new software and new programs."

Meh, this is just a rebranding of the same Warp-Speed-World-eCONomic-Forum-NATO-US Empire, and all the useful idiots (MAGAtards, Libtards etc) will fall for it...again.

"It's 69D chess!"

"Trust the Plan!"

"We're spreading human rights, LGBTQ, peace and democracy!"

and then...when they get completely boxed into a corner with inconvenient facts and ice-cold reality, then it's the good old "you're a Nazi" (Libtards) or "you have TDS." (TrumpTards)
