This is what is in store for Americans, and this is what is going to be supplied in place of the global supply chain on which American dominance relied, and which its latest war has destabilised.</p><p><strong>After months of obvious lies</strong> from the White House about the reasons for this war, its conduct, losses, and consequences, it is hard to fathom where the Big Lie began. Perhaps it began with the Noble Lie of MAGA itself.</p><p><strong>Liberal democracy is the marketing of elite agendas to the masses through the mobilisation of popular sentiment through the use of the media.</strong></p><p><strong>MAGA was the sale of Trumpian populism</strong> on promises of national renewal and the restoration of American greatness. This was a sales pitch.</p><p>You cannot get elected in America by admitting your attempt at global empire has failed and you have no more money, so the show is over. Instead, an initially impressive team of strategists put together a new Realism to produce what JD Vance called &#8220;A Foreign Policy for the American Middle Class&#8221;.

The first was world domination, the second, the consolation prize of withdrawal as renewal.</p><p><strong>MAGA really came from the recognition that the US had bankrupted itself</strong> both financially and morally in following a grand strategy aimed at becoming and remaining the Only Global Power. This vision materialised after the 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall, and was presented in a RAND paper a year later.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

It has also revealed much of the nature of US political, religious, financial and media culture. In short, none of it is what it says it is. </p><p><em>Most people don&#8217;t seem to care about the shift towards the normalisation of assassination, to the routine use of atrocity propaganda and lies to permission the destruction of a civilisation for nebulous reasons. </em></p><p><em>Nor do they seem overly interested in the fact that the White House is staffed with Epstein crooks and advised by quasi-religious lunatics who see salvation promised in sparking Armageddon in a war for Israel.</em></p><p><strong>What seems to move Americans most is the cost of things.</strong> The price of food, of fuel and medicine - as well as everything else - is going to rise. Meanwhile, the value of their money to buy these things is going down. The dollar has lost 87% of its purchase power since the year 2000. Almost 30% of that loss <a href="https://www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/2020?amount=1">came in the last six years</a>. </p><p><strong>The Iran war is <a href="https://fortune.com/2026/03/28/dollar-dominance-dedollarization-global-oil-trade-iran-war-petroyuan-us-security-shield/">driving</a> de-dollarisation</strong>, which means that countries will no longer trade oil in dollars, undermining its value for investors. This means fewer nations will be confident in buying US debt, which stands at <a href="https://www.usdebtclock.org/">just under </a>$40 trillion. </p><p>This exposes the reality that the US economic model is not only based on the issuance of debt, but on <strong>confidence</strong>. If other countries no longer believe the US is solvent, the dollar dies back due to a lack of belief. If this seems alarmist, note that though a report claiming the US is insolvent (bankrupt) last month was &#8220;<a href="https://www.factcheck.org/2026/04/the-u-s-treasury-didnt-declare-the-country-insolvent/">debunked</a>&#8221;, it turns out that the counter-claim says America cannot in fact pay its debts.</p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;The real problem facing the government,&#8221; Smetters said, &#8220;is that we currently have a fiscal policy path that is itself imbalanced. Specifically, the present value of future spending far exceeds the present value of future tax revenue. </em></p><p><em>To create balance, we would either need to raise all federal income taxes, including payroll taxes, immediately and forever by 30%, or cut all federal spending, including entitlement programs, immediately and forever by 25%, or some combination.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote><p>Much of that debt was created in <strong>financing decades of regime change wars</strong> from 2001. At least 8 trillion dollars were spent on regime change wars in the 20 years from 2001-2021. I documented something of how the West has been ruined by the regime-change regime here, in 2023.</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;3dfd81e6-2fc7-4748-9a83-89ac79cb0ddf&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;This is a long post in three parts.&quot;,&quot;cta&quot;:&quot;Read full story&quot;,&quot;showBylines&quot;:true,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;sm&quot;,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Regime Change: The Ruin of the West&quot;,&quot;publishedBylines&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:74765925,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Frank Wright&quot;,&quot;bio&quot;:&quot;Cultural critic.

in place of real news about Israel. The Trump Administration, for example, has adopted the media and military strategy of the Israelis, which is to demonise your designated enemy and use that narrative to permission war crimes towards an impossible goal.</p><p><strong>This is the end product of decades of wars in Iraq, Syria, Libya and now Iran</strong> which have been fought to secure Israeli regional dominance. The argument that all the leaders of these nations were pursuing weapons of mass destruction is not only false, it obscures the fact that the Israelis are the only nuclear armed power in the region, and that their nuclear weapons were developed against the will of the US, using plutonium and secrets stolen from the Americans.</p><p><strong>How has this happened?</strong> Israel has built a powerful lobby in American politics, which has donated to every one of the 100 US Senators, and sponsors most members of Congress. Israel-Firsters Sheldon and Miriam Adelson gave Donald Trump and his movement over $500 million dollars between 2016 and 2025.</p><p><strong>What has all this blood and treasure bought for Israel?</strong> If we look at the Israeli media we see that Israel is deeply divided and the view of the Israelis is that the war in Iran, as that in Lebanon, has been a failure.</p><div

href="https://www.energyaspects.com/resources/insights/physical-vs-paper-crude-price-disconnect">Quite a lot, it seems</a>. Why is this the case?</strong></p><p>Many commentators have noted for weeks that statements from President Trump promising an end to the war and de-escalation have had no basis in reality. Despite there being no military solution, and no obvious way out for the US, Trump&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://x.com/TrumpDailyPosts/status/2051797824132755819?s=20">Truths</a>&#8221; have had a significant impact on the listed price of oil.</p><p><strong>Frequently issued on Fridays</strong>, Trump&#8217;s statements have touted imaginary negotiations, unrealistic operations like the shortlived &#8220;<a href="https://x.com/DropSiteNews/status/2052189537443422510?s=20">Project Freedom</a>&#8221;  and repeatedly teased an end to the war that never arrives. Trump has talked the markets down whilst the supply crunch looms ever larger.</p><p>A <a href="https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/energy-commodities/oil-prices-jump-renewed-us-iran-hostilities">report</a> from a Singapore-based oil market analyst put it plainly:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;The market is on the cusp of a complete breakdown,&#8221; said Vandana Hari, founder of oil market analysis provider Vanda Insights.</p><p>&#8220;Price formation is no longer anchored in a pragmatic reading of the war&#8217;s trajectory or the physical realities in the Strait of Hormuz.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p><strong>What are those &#8220;physical realities&#8221;?</strong> They include the fact that the Straits were open without tolls before the US launched its war for Israel. They also include the fact that the US has now blockaded the Strait, worsening the collapse of the global supply chain of oil, its vital constituents, and of natural gas, fertiliser and significant industrial precursor chemicals.</p><p><strong>In short, the market has lost touch with reality. It was being conducted by Trump&#8217;s tweets - and gamed by insider trading.</strong></p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

to this day, with Trump claiming the ceasefire is holding whilst fire is exchanged between the US and Iran. In recent days, oil tankers have been hit, the Iranians fired on US destroyers, and strikes took place on the Fujairah refinery complex in the Israel-aligned United Arab Emirates. </p><div

REALITY</h4><p>President Trump continues his method best illustrated by this meme, but the markets seem to be <a href="https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/energy-commodities/oil-prices-jump-renewed-us-iran-hostilities">waking up</a> to the reality his tweets deny.</p><blockquote><p><em>Even with the renewed military activity, U.S. President Donald Trump later told reporters on Thursday [7th of May] that the ceasefire remained operational.</em></p></blockquote><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;The U.S. administration continues to oversell the prospects of a thaw, and an optimism-biased market buys into it,&#8221; Vanda Insights&#8217; Hari said.</em></p><p><em>&#8220;Curiously, each time, the rebound is gradual and incomplete, making the head fakes at least somewhat effective.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote><p>Despite Trump&#8217;s attempt to talk down the market, oil prices <a href="https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Oil-Prices-Jump-After-US-and-Iran-Exchange-Fire-in-Strait-of-Hormuz.html">jumped</a> to over $100 per barrel as a round of hostilities resumed on Thursday.</p><p>The control of the markets is slipping from Trump&#8217;s amusingly named &#8220;Truth&#8221; social media posts. He can no longer make people believe in something other than reality.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

YOURSELF, &#8220;MY GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE?&#8221;</h4><p><strong>Donald Trump certainly knows</strong> how his actions have brought about the end of the American world as we knew it. Americans don&#8217;t, but they will do soon. It is difficult to see how he survives this, having presided over the dismantling of the American Empire, and in place of the restoration of American greatness has delivered a rude awakening instead.</p><p><strong>The regime in Iran has not changed</strong>, there is no military solution to the crisis caused by the war begun for the Israelis by Mr Trump, and of course all this was predicted and told to Mr Trump in advance. </p><p>Whether through blackmail, through misguided self belief, bribery or other means, <strong>Mr Trump took a decision to attack Iran</strong> which was rejected by all his predecessors in recent administrations. </p><p><strong>It has been a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1997/02/05/opinion/a-fateful-error.html">fateful error</a> </strong>greater than that of the US-NATO eastward expansion, which inexorably led to another failed war to collapse and conquer the resources of another so-called enemy - Russia.</p><p><em><strong>These two wars have demonstrated the limits of reality to a system whose power relied on make belief. </strong></em></p><p>We are living through the end of an impossible dream, which was sold to us so completely as to make anything other than its realisation unthinkable. </p><p>This will in time end the Presidency of Donald Trump. It will bookend the bankrupting regime change era and take the dream of US global dominance and leadership with it. What has also been exposed is that our economic system appears to be a scam run for the benefit of the elite, who see in the ruinous wars which magnified its debts an opportunity for personal enrichment.</p><p>Finally, <strong>the manufacture of belief to permission political action</strong> seems to be less effective every day, as the awful reality produced by these actions is more convincing to voters and the markets they watch than the upbeat trans-sanity radiating from the current regime.</p><p><strong>The political technique of the 20th century</strong> also appears to be entering its season finale. The most dangerous thing of all to machine politicians is when people begin to take an interest in politics. Given the state we are in, most people have no choice these days. The demands political leaders will face will no longer be made by populations mesmerised by impossible dreams and secured by a system which makes belief in itself through everything it sells. </p><p><strong>The future politics will be about reality</strong>, not fantasy, and the future we face will be strictly concerned with the provision of needs. MAGA has delivered on the resizing and rebalancing of US commitments. It could have cut its cloth to reality in a way which convinced Americans they were undergoing a national renewal. </p><p><strong>Instead, the final regime change war launched for Israel has pulled back the curtain on the whole show, to the profound embarrasment of audience and actors alike. Mr Trump can bark a great carnival, but the people will no longer entertain circuses when they want for bread.</strong></p><div><hr></div><p><em>If you like this sort of thing, you can pay me to do it here:</em></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.frankwrighter.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.frankwrighter.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p>If you like to offend people by telling them the truth, consider doing this:</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.frankwrighter.com/p/magageddon?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.frankwrighter.com/p/magageddon?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p><p></p><div><hr></div><p>I am working on a series about the last century and how we got into the State we are in today.

Man made horrors as imagined by machines.</figcaption></figure></div><h4>TRUMP AND IRAN: THE NOBLE LIE?</h4><p>Reality is about to correct the narrative sharply, as the supply chain begins to supply a lack of food, fuel and fertiliser to the world.</p><p>Mr Trump has said he has won the war, and that Iran is collapsing. In fact, the US has lost the war and its empire too. The global supply chain is collapsing as a result. This will all become obvious soon, and everyone including Americans will come to dislike Mr Trump intensely.</p><p>The <strong>WMDs</strong> were made up (we have seen this movie before), the Iranians <strong>demonised</strong> (ditto), and the <strong>Regime did not Change</strong>. In fact, the Regime that will change is ours, I believe, and probably that of Mr Trump too.</p><p>Regime change at home has already begun. </p><p><strong>Israeli political, financial and religious culture has supplanted that of the American ruling elite. </strong> With the adoption of their barbaric military strategy and shameless propaganda technique, the US Regime has become identical in many ways with that of Israel. Both states are in a sorry state, both telling lies about the awful reality their actions have created, both are in a crisis they refuse to recognise, and which is in both cases most likely to get worse.</p><p>World and US public opinion has sharply turned against Israel (due to its actions) and it is never going to recover, meaning strong ties to the Ally that Wrecked Everything are not a likely votewinner.</p><p><strong>The war has caused far more problems than either of its author nations can solve.</strong> </p><p>Perhaps the least worst option for all concerned is for Mr Trump to simply pretend he has won, as his diehard supporters are likely to believe this. You could call this a Noble Lie, as though it is a lie it is far less bad than a return to mass destruction, which is apparently being demanded by Mrs Adelson and her talking money, which has managed to talk Mr Trump into a lot of things in the past.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

The world as we thought we knew it is gone, and this moment of media management is a sort of irrational interregnum between action and consequence. Our political class and the system they built and maintain are not used to facing any consequences for anything, and so they don&#8217;t. Yet this is not another Hollywood war - a spectacle of explosions in some desert abroad having little meaning to the domesticated grazers at home. </p><p><strong>This war changes the game.</strong> It may very well end it altogether. We shall see what comes next, of course, with precedent suggesting the Israelis will have their way to another round of ruin. Yet the world is aware now of how devastating any more destruction in the region would be to them, and so there is a consensus  - formerly forbidden - of outrage at the actions of the Israelis which already looks like having isolated the US with its last remaining &#8220;ally&#8221;.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

It is due to its 74 year CIA operation that there is a war between Ukraine and Russia.

How remarkable that Europe&#8217;s only cheap longterm gas supply was blown up whilst Mr Blinken was the chief diplomat of the USA. </p><p>The cost we have borne in Britain and in Europe is enormous. The US government is now saying we must bear the burden ourselves for our defence. Well, our &#8220;defence&#8221; has cost us dearly.

become known as &#8220;Conform&#8221; for its combination of Conservative refugees and the refusal to reverse the influx of those identifying as such.</p><p>Nigel Farage is a mirage in a desert. He is imagined as all things we lack in this desolation, and the more we see of him the less we believe in him.</p><p>In fact, he is none of them. He is an idea in the hopeful mind of a relief and a change from a system gone mad, but sadly he is wedded to some of the most toxic networks and notions of national suicide.</p><p>Mr Farage and his front line are all zelotic Israel supporters, and this too is a losing move in a world which is rapidly realigning against the awful reality produced by Free Market Zionism and Gay Race Bolshevism.</p><p>Reform look to get a fillip by virtue of not being the other parties, but their vice in being rather more of the same but in Boomer Teal ties is likely to see their vote share continue to shrink as Britain approaches the General Election of 2029.</p><p>The worst thing that can happen to Farage is that he wins a lot of councils and makes them all look like the one his party managed into &#8220;a year of chaos&#8221; <a href="https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/2026/05/01/conservative-leader-says-reform-have-overseen-year-of-chaos-and-toxic-behaviour-at-staffordshire-county-council/">here</a>.</p><p><strong>Reform are &#8220;trans-sane&#8221;</strong>. They believe if you dress up and talk like an Englishman you become one. This is the same as a female impersonator claiming to be a woman. This too was a great English tradition, but stopped being one when laughing at ridiculous claims became a crime.</p><p><em>If we do not reverse mass migration we are finished. </em></p><p>Will Reform do this? No. </p><p>This makes Reform a danger, not deliverance.</p><p>Their &#8220;values&#8221; are those of the impostor culture, which I described around two years ago, here.  </p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;1dbd3be2-7794-4add-8543-21f1fd7f2cce&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Here is a post explaining the insane system we inhabit.

an end. It can be understood as a permanent revolution to replace everything that was. Why - and with what?</strong></p><p>This system isn&#8217;t really about &#8220;progress&#8221; or liberty or even democracy. Its policies, mass produced memes of current things and crazy cults of identity and environment are all made up to promote the founding aim, which was to replace the world we had with a Standard Reality, everywhere. </p><p>A borderless bazaar, populated by mutual strangers, all hunting the same fool&#8217;s bargains on credit.</p><p>It&#8217;s an economic system with a marketing campaign. As long as people believe in the advertisements, it sells well. Now they don&#8217;t, because what they&#8217;ve been told is plainly not what they&#8217;ve been sold. </p><p>This, together with the global crisis produced by Israel&#8217;s latest regime change war, is driving the disintegration of the system we were all led to believe would go on forever. Until it is no more.

It had a fake economy, fake elections, fake values and fake mission statements.</p><p>The institutions don&#8217;t do what their name says. Quite often, they do the opposite. Our money isn&#8217;t real and the things we do to get it can be as valueless as what we get in return for our time.</p><p>Voting doesn&#8217;t change the economy, which apart from monetising addictions amounts to a war economy. What war? All of them, including the one going on at home, to destroy your civilisation. </p><p>Our leaders serve the Economic Zone and not the nation, and we are largely ruled by a sort of cartel that makes a lot of money out of making everything worse. This is helped along the way by elevating political beliefs to the status of religious dogma, which is what most of our religious leaders are doing too.</p><p>We live in a Fake New World which is the product of a project to standardise the globe. </p><p>Happily, I do not think this is working. In fact, I think it is finished, as no one really believes in it any more. Here I explain why I think this and what I think will come next.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

made permanent by belief and secured by endeavour.</p><p>Western civilisation today is submerged beneath two pillars of political unwisdom.</p><p>The one presents an image of the masculine defence of the West through the exercise of destructive military power, the other a feminine reception of all influences at home other than those of the home nation.</p><p><em>You can see the one as positive in the sense of an active force, the other as a passive one, but both are equally deadly to what remains of civilised life in the West.</em></p><p>At State level and above, our politics is rather like a broken family. Father and mother are estranged from one another, and the children are bereft.</p><p>We, the children of these factions, are speechless in our grief as we lack the terms to describe our parents&#8217; separation. </p><p>They were never married in the first place, of course, each seeking liberation from the other in the pursuit of their own supremacy.

It is a film about a real man called Kaspar Hauser, who was discovered in 1828. He had spent his entire life in a cellar until he was found in it at the age of 17. Having never been outside, he could not recognise perspective. He could speak, but only one sentence which he obviously did not understand.</p><p>He had been a prisoner  in a cellar all his life, and when he exited his tiny world he was a prisoner in himself as a result. </p><p>Did it free him to learn the ways of other men?</p><p>Hauser died in 1833 at the age of 21, having suffered a fatal wound in the second, and this time successful, attempt on his life. </p><p>He was suspected to be a fraud, but perhaps it was what he reminded men about themselves that they found unbearable about him.

He is a stranger at home, to the strangers in his homeland, a stranger to himself and to the nature of reality and being.</p><p>The technique by which man is managed has liberated him into himself. His world has shrunk to all he can conjure as to what he wants, who he thinks himself to be, and these thoughts are supplied to him in the same way as all the other consumer choices which consume him.</p><p>He has been tempted by promises of freedom into this confinement, into a condition of all for one and none for all. </p><p>This Modern Man imagines himself the axis of the world and the engine of all its meaning, replacing the omphalos (or navel) believed by the Greeks to be the centre point on earth at which temporal power met the divine<a class="footnote-anchor"

</figcaption></figure></div><h4>Blinking into the Light</h4><p>The world which is intruding on the false reality of the media age is one which seems strange and unfamiliar to men shaped in cellars of illusion. This is because we have been schooled to believe that the never-never land we inhabited would go on forever. Well now it isn&#8217;t, and all its explanations are expiring in its moment of exhaustion.</p><p>The cell we inhabited was not the Dark Age of Christian belief, but the superstitions of a world illuminated by the artificial light of technology which sought to replace it.</p><p>The great fatal flaw of the modern mind was to imagine its limits as their absence. The wisest products of this time are incapable of seeing beyond their belief system, as they believe it is perfect, and so have never had any reason to try to do so.</p><p>Spellbound by what powerful tricks the machinery of technique permit, dazzled by endless data points, modern man blinks into the light and cannot tell what is near or far, present or past, and the languages he hears around him are merely a disturbing babble. He is lost. He no longer knows what he is, nor what he is for.</p><p>The screen cannot compass what he sees about him, and it cannot explain what is stirring within him. Beneath the fear of insufficiency of things and the dissolution of the plastic meanings he has been supplied to rely on, there is the terrible appetite for purpose.</p><p>What was the point, he asks himself, and why am I here at all? </p><p>It is not God who is against Man, it is Man who made war on all that was, the better to elevate himself<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-4" href="#footnote-4" target="_self">4</a>. Today we realise our limits, that we cannot rise beyond them, and that if we mistake them and ourselves for everything we find in time we are terribly mistaken. </p><p>The nature of Man, being part of the nature of things, is changeless. His machinations permit distractions, as does the evanescent promise of satisfaction in all things made possible by the supply and demand of desire. </p><div><hr></div><h4>What Will Become of Us?</h4><p>The civilisational view of mankind can be viewed as the process over time of forgetting and remembering.</p><p>We live in a time when we are all beginning to realise that a great subtraction has taken place whilst we were all otherwise entertained. The music has not stopped, however. Soon we will understand that we are not living through the end of everything, but of something which sought to replace it with itself.</p><p>We have been formed by the experiment of the long 20th cenutry, a sort of intermission of civilisation. This is not civilisation&#8217;s end, but the beginning of the return of reality and its comprehension to the understanding of our lives.</p><p>This inspires men to defend themselves from barbarism. It is time to remember who we are, because it is this memory or its absence which will determine what becomes of us. We are not what we have been told we are. The personality crisis of Western politics is terminal, and it sold us a series of masks, or personae, as if we were all characters in some show.</p><p>Yet life is not a masquerade, and it will go on though the old performance will not.

politics we have is machine politics. This machine is breaking down. It is fuelled by public opinion, which is processed and packaged into political energy by the mass manufacture of belief in the agenda of the ruling elite.</p><p>Populism is not a politics. It is a spasm of rejection of the agenda of the social revolution undertaken in our homelands despite election cycles.</p><p>The populism we have seen is not a new economics. It is a counter-agenda, using the same technique of power, to promote the interests of a different ruling faction.</p><p>These factions are falsely described by themselves and by ourselves. They are not &#8220;left&#8221; or &#8220;right&#8221;. They are not for you. They are for them.</p><p>A political economy for human flourishing and the Common Good is possible. This is the moment, this is the question, this is the answer.</p><p>This is how we got here.</p><div><hr></div><h4>The Machine is Breaking Down</h4><p>Why is the machine breaking down? The &#8220;right-populist&#8221; wave in America has broken. It has reduced to the exercise of hard State power in service of a foreign nation, whose power is secured by influence including bribery, assassination and blackmail. Its culture, that of Zionist Israel, is now the financial and media and military and religious culture of the ruling elite in America.</p><p>JD Vance, the Great White Whale of the Republicans, gave his last speech to an almost empty stadium. His <a href="https://x.com/BasedSamParker/status/2044417903186031055?s=20">livestream got 160 viewers</a>. Trump&#8217;s numbers are underwater and so is his movement. The same is true of American support for Israel. This changes the game for the whole international network of this faction of political power and technique.</p><p>None of these shipwrecks are coming back up. If you like, you can summarise the last century as the monetisation through debt of the creation of national and international crises, whose business became the partial basis of our global economy as the technique of internationalisation refined to include it after September 11th, 2001.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

truth does not matter anymore&#8221;.</h4><p><strong>Power is always part performance</strong>. Military power is threat plus capability. Political power is the power of belief in the promises you make.</p><p>The US has issued many threats but is incapable of carrying any out apart from the most significant one: the total destruction of Iranian civilisation.</p><p>Mr Trump has this power but he does not have any other it seems. This is dangerous, as this is precisely the power the Israelis seek to use.</p><p>Trump&#8217;s political (domestic) and military (foreign) decisions are effectively taken from the Israeli playbook, and the culture of the US from the top down has changed accordingly.</p><p>The promises of security and prosperity, to make America Great Again, cannot be carried out now. Neither can the promised &#8220;regime change&#8221; in Iran, nor even a military victory in the region. </p><p>The US has lost its diplomatic and military position in the Middle East, can no longer guarantee the passage of seaborne world trade, and has broken its long standing &#8220;alliance&#8221; (which was dominance) with Europe and the Anglosphere.</p><p>To the literally minded Mr Trump has gone bonkers. He has been consumed by sin in fact, which is destructive to a man in every state in life. </p><p>He has been impelled into the creation of mass destruction by pride, vanity, vainglory, greed and dreams of adulation, and tempted into this by appeals to his appetite for all the above. The war is evil, it is doing evil to the world, and Mr Trump and his America are rightfully despised for what they have said and done to us all.</p><p>The US has lost the war and cannot admit it as this would be devastating to Americans generally and Trump in particular. </p><p>This will inevitably be obvious anyway in a matter of time. So far, a performance in the media has contained this impression, which is simply &#8220;flooding the zone with shit&#8221;, as advised by Steve Bannon a decade ago, and as adopted openly by Netanyahu&#8217;s media chief last week.</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;a1d6e25a-ef36-4ab2-92e6-cb61c7b393ad&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p>Eli Hazan, the latest director of Netanyahu&#8217;s media &#8216;poison machine&#8217; says: </p><blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;The truth does not matter any more. The facts do not matter anymore&#8221;.</strong></p></blockquote><p>Political power in the US and Israel is following this formula. Its power is in contest with the truth, with the facts, with reality itself. This is vital to understanding the state the world is in, and how we get out of it.</p><p>Hazan continues:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;I fabricate fake news as a response to them&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>He explained &#8220;I wasn&#8217;t like this. Only the truth guided me.&#8221;</p><p>So what changed him?</p><blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;I came to the conclusion that we need to be Trump&#8221;. </strong></p></blockquote><p>Hazan&#8217;s statement is significant beyond Israel, whose stated policy is to &#8220;police the planet&#8221; through its &#8220;eighth front&#8221; of war: via media control, censuring critics as antisemitic, and corrupting the picture of reality received by the global public.</p><p></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://x.com/HarrisonHSmith/status/2018352533664575748?s=20" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TgeT!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8bab02e5-af61-4bc5-9e19-b590f4885c0d_541x457.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TgeT!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8bab02e5-af61-4bc5-9e19-b590f4885c0d_541x457.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TgeT!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8bab02e5-af61-4bc5-9e19-b590f4885c0d_541x457.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TgeT!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8bab02e5-af61-4bc5-9e19-b590f4885c0d_541x457.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TgeT!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8bab02e5-af61-4bc5-9e19-b590f4885c0d_541x457.png" width="541" height="457" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8bab02e5-af61-4bc5-9e19-b590f4885c0d_541x457.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:457,&quot;width&quot;:541,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:258058,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/HarrisonHSmith/status/2018352533664575748?s=20&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.frankwrighter.com/i/194501296?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fefc8e180-0576-40d9-8882-f513ca6f6833_1920x1080.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TgeT!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8bab02e5-af61-4bc5-9e19-b590f4885c0d_541x457.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TgeT!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8bab02e5-af61-4bc5-9e19-b590f4885c0d_541x457.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TgeT!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8bab02e5-af61-4bc5-9e19-b590f4885c0d_541x457.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TgeT!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8bab02e5-af61-4bc5-9e19-b590f4885c0d_541x457.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Israel&#8217;s &#8220;war on reality&#8221;

refuses to suffer the truth about himself, his motives, his actions and their effect on the world. This means he will not learn and therefore cannot improve. This is the way all foolish men refuse wisdom.</strong></p><p>It is likely this crisis finishes him actually as well as figuratively, as he is the hunter become the quarry like Actaeon, who was slain by his own hounds. Silenced by a power he cannot command, to speak the truth is also fatal. </p><p>There is no way out of the woods for Mr Trump and no escape for the hungry pack which dogs him. This is the meaning of the Furies, unleashed by the inescapable actions of men limited by what and who they are. </p><p>What made Trump is what unmakes him, his belief in himself and his power to transmit it. This is all he has left, and soon no one will believe in him at all. Not even Mr Trump. Nothing is as it is stated now, from Christianity to the causes and conditions of this terminal crisis. The sacred is profaned, life vulgarised in the defence of a now universal evil with lies. What we are sold is not what we are told, and no one is buying it anymore. </p><p>The poverty of our mass culture is not only in meaning and in spirit - it is about to get real in the way most men comprehend. It will destroy the right to buy, which is the fundamental right of the political economy which ruled us into this mess.</p><p>You can summarise Trump as the closing-down salesman of the 20th

When the wars stop, Netanyahu&#8217;s ongoing trial will see him jailed for corruption and abuse of public office. There is a separate trial going on concerning his National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir over his effective use of the police as a private militia, in tandem with the armed militants he leads in the West Bank.</p><p><em>These are known in Western media as &#8220;settlers&#8221;, but are described in Israeli media as &#8220;Jewish terrorists&#8221;.</em></p><p>The murder, arson and expropriation of Palestinians (including Christians) in the West Bank will continue. It is likely Israel&#8217;s latest invasion of Lebanon will continue, too. Its goal is not &#8220;security&#8221; for Israel&#8217;s northern population but aims at the annexation and permanent settlement of Lebanon south of the Litani river.</p><p>This policy has been announced by Bezalel Smotrich, Finance Minister and champion of the &#8220;Greater Israel&#8221; plan to collapse neighbouring nations and expand Israel&#8217;s borders into their former lands.</p><p><strong>Israel sees Turkey as a regional competitor and repeatedly signals that Turkey is next on the war list.</strong></p><p>The decline of US regional and imperial power means opportunity for the Israelis, who see in the degradation of US military capability to secure the region a sign that they will not be restrained in their ambitions.</p><p>The war is the work of the Israelis, towards their goal of becoming a regional and then world power. The inability to recognise such a destructive and wicked campaign, which will destroy the world as we knew it, is a legacy of liberal rule.</p><p>The false god of equality, promoted by a century of the political technique of liberalism, makes men blind to basic difference. </p><p>It makes it impossible to see that the Israelis do not share &#8220;our values&#8221;, whether they be the fake ones of the liberal-global order in its fantasies of international law and human rights, or the values of the recognition of reality in the defence of the dignity of human life, the preservation of order against disorder, truth against lies, civilisation against barbarism and basically the acknowledgement that Good is better than Evil.</p><div><hr></div><div

by which the West is governed. These delusions are the phantasms sold to the population to permission the equalisation of the world under a single &#8220;liberal&#8221; economic order.</p><p>At last, <strong>market worshippers</strong> have realised the markets are the map of their faith in the wisdom of markets, which has been shown to be folly against hard reality.</p><p>Real oil is scarce and costs a fortune. Market oil is manipulated by whatever Mr Trump makes up on the day.</p><p>Secondly, the <strong>diplomatic reality</strong> has struck the West alongside the serious potential of famine conditions in much of the developing world.</p><p>This reality is simply the recognition of what the Israelis are like, that they are unlike us in significant ways. It is horrifying to realise what they are really doing, as what they are doing in reality is unthinkable to all reasonable people outside their sphere of sponsorship, assassination, blackmail and media hypnotism.</p><p>The destruction may be contained by the recognition, late but not yet too late, that the world faces a crisis caused by this war which would effectively end the world as we knew it - and that this is in fact the strategic goal of Israel.</p><p>If the West outside American can cohere into a hard and formerly forbidden consensus of serious opposition to Israel we may see a future in which some order is restored, and after years of repair, a return to some form of global food and fuel security.</p><p>States would be wise to seek maximum autarky in energy, agriculture and reskilling and restructuring towards domestic manufacturing, as the guarantee formerly offered to the global system by the US navy has expired.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

A place roamed by nomads, in which only the hardiest and meanest of men survive, and without any of the customs of hospitality and regard for life which rule men better than laws in all states of remote adversity and relative prosperity alike.</p><p>We have forgotten the habits of civilisation.

distinction between the White House and the Vatican. The crisis is compounded by the fact that neither of these institutions serve their stated roles. The US government no longer serves the American people, their interests, and is no longer the leader of the free world.</p><p>The Vatican no longer teaches the religion whose political economy could restore our civilisation. This is an introduction to the depth of the crisis which has consumed our Church and State, suggesting how understanding these aspects of reality can help you distinguish between Right and wrong

There is a division between the stated mission of these institutions and the State Religion they actually promote.</p><p>The US promotes the <strong>State Religion of Prosperity Zionism</strong>. Elsewhere, as in the Vatican, Western elites promote the <strong>State Religion of &#8220;Global Liberalism&#8221;</strong>.</p><p>The Vatican, the WEF, the governments of the Anglosphere and Europe are in agreement on open borders, rainbow flags and the climate cult. For now.</p><div><hr></div><p><strong>So much for what is wrong.</strong> What then is right about the Right? The Right is obviously refracted through its partisan factions, each mobilised in outrage at some aspect of the general crisis.</p><p>Some on the right think market worship is the Right. Some think it is State Worship, others identify the Right with Zionism, its cutout project of National Conservatism, its astroturf populism of counter-jihad. </p><p><strong>Few on the right realise that demonisation towards the permissioning of the destruction of muslims is a technique which can and will be used on the next target, which will include you if you are not a friend to Zionism and its aims.</strong></p><div><hr></div><p><strong>This last point is hard to see, as there are obvious problems with fostering a large muslim population in Europe</strong>, which includes the rape of Britain and is complicated by the prohibition of basic facts about reality. </p><p>One such fact is that tribes and their customs, which you might call &#8220;cultures&#8221;, are different in significant ways. This does not mean we must kill each other. It is in fact a strong invitation to seek a separate peace in place of unifying permanent war.</p><p><strong>Another fact, often missed, is the regime change wars supplied the mass migration crisis</strong> which is now used by the Israel lobby to justify further regime change towards its own strategic goals.</p><div><hr></div><p>A very few on the right have noticed the remarkable similarity in the technique of regime change abroad and at home. </p><p><strong>States targeted for assassination</strong> are labelled murderous, killers of their own people, terrorist. These states are then bombed into anarchy. The logic is &#8220;the leaders of these states are killers of their own people, so we must kill more of their people to save them&#8221;. </p><p><strong>This is the technique of the military-political wing of regime change</strong> which &#8220;changes&#8221; regimes abroad - replacing order with chaos.</p><p>This is the right (and Right) way to understand regime change: war abroad, social revolution at home towards the destruction of our civilisation for power and profit.</p><div><hr></div><p><strong>At home, groups and individuals targeted for neutralisation</strong> are labelled antisemitic, racist, transphobic, extremist - even terrorist.</p><p>Actual terrorists who carry out actual terror attacks are always known to the authorities as terrorists beforehand. The Manchester Arena bomber was trained and radicalised in Libya, during the US/UK backed campaign to kill its leader and collapse the Libyan State. For example.</p><p>Labelling people at home in this way gives permission to kill them. You can kill their liberty by imprisoning them. You kill their speech by banning it. You kill their argument by criminalising it. Calling people these names dehumanises and demonises them, just as calling other states these names does the same.</p><p><strong>Both aspects of the regime change technique permission destruction at home and abroad. Neither is Right, both are wrong.</strong></p><div><hr></div><p>Anyone who partakes in this technique is not right, and is not Right either.</p><p>What is right in the sense of being true, correct and just is to defend the closest correspondence to reality in description and judgment.</p><p><strong>What unites the Right from Franco to Peter Hitchens is the defence of civilisation from its enemies.</strong></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

DECEPTION</h4><p>I covered the farrago of the fake ceasefire as it happened on my mysteriously <a href="https://x.com/frankwrighter">invisible Twitter account</a>. You can check some of my homework there.</p><p><strong>I <a href="https://x.com/frankwrighter/status/2041948550951473570?s=20">did not believe</a> there would really be a ceasefire</strong>. </p><p>This is because this war was launched for Israel using an entirely manufactured narrative with no plan, no goal, no realistic strategy and despite all the warnings it would be a disaster.</p><p><strong>Why was the &#8220;ceasefire&#8221; announced?</strong></p><p>I suggested it was undertaken as a means of manipulating the markets (whilst the US military buildup continued).</p><p><strong>TLDR The &#8220;ceasefire&#8221; is a pause and you should by now recognise the memes of the White House are all cringe. In fact, some of them appear to be demonically inspired. This is hardly surprising, given the armageddonist cult which surrounds Trump both in Israel and in the US (including its military).</strong></p><p></p><div

The result will be apocalyptic, probably including these additional outcomes:</p><ol start="2"><li><p>The US will probably leave the region permanently regardless of what happens next. The US empire, being over, will be abandoned. </p></li><li><p>US will de facto withdraw from NATO, opening the door for Israel&#8217;s next war on Turkey.</p></li><li><p>Perhaps the US will assist Israel in bombing Iran until its society collapses. This would satisy the Israelis, but would leave the Strait permanently uninsurable as a navigation passage, and with chaos in place of stability no one is going to rebuild anything significant in the region.</p></li><li><p>It is hard to see how the global economy survives. The likely outcome here is the permanent removal of all the oil, gas and precursor chemicals from the region. This means likely famine, as the global supply of fertiliser is severely impaired by the loss of Hormuz etc. Severe shortages to be expected in Africa, Middle East, and other semi-arid developing nations.</p></li><li><p>Food and everything else will rise in cost in the West, whilst the currency loses its value or collapses completely - tied as it is to the vanishing petrodollar.</p></li></ol><p>You can see this is all rather horrifying.

There are other examples.</p><p>The reason these mute witnesses to Israel&#8217;s genocide have found their tongues is simple.</p><p>Israel&#8217;s threat to the West is near-existential. Again, if Israel is not stopped we all go down. How far we go down is all we have yet to discover.</p><p>Israel was repeatedly trying to blow up a nuclear reactor in Iran, for example.

In fact they reveal his administration is staffed by a Zionist mafia, many of whom are personally implicated in the files, or have family or &#8220;business&#8221; ties with the Epstein mob.</p><p>Speculation has risen about the First Lady seeking to distance herself and her husband, the President, from Epstein at this moment. The obvious suspicion is that something is going to come out.</p><p>I expect that something will come out. There have long been rumours of recordings of Donald Trump. Perhaps these will come out now, perhaps his wife&#8217;s annoucement was some kind of warning signal to resume the war made under duress, who knows?</p><h4>THIS IS A &#8220;COST OF GOVERNMENT&#8221; CRISIS</h4><p>We have been managed into a permanent cost of living crisis by the people who rule us. Of course the creation and monetisation of crises is largely the basis of the economic model which produced the global liberal system, yet this crisis appears to be terminal. We are all paying the cost of being governed by crooks.</p><p>The horrendous future we must contemplate and its reckless precipitation can really only be made to make sense if we accept one ugly fact. </p><p>We are ruled by a crime syndicate who are monetising the destruction of our entire way of life. Again, this is shorthand for the last century of &#8220;liberal democracy&#8221;, but the pretence at being nice about it has been dropped.</p><p>The reason the US government can&#8217;t or won&#8217;t restrain the Israelis is because the Israelis and their lobby clearly do not obey the US government. </p><p>I think this might have something to do with all those Epstein types in the US government right now. </p><p>The Israeli culture appears to have completely corrupted the politics, economy, religion, media messaging and military posture of the United States, which can now be summarised as a racket run by boastful barbarians at the expense of all human civilisation.</p><div><hr></div><p><em>I have had a lot of mysterious computer problems and so apologise for any editing issues.</em></p><p><em>If you would like to support my work, you can do so here. </em></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.frankwrighter.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.frankwrighter.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p><em>Thank you if you pay me to do this.

The Iranians will have won, of course, by default of not being totally destroyed. </p><p>To avoid this humiliating outcome, Donald Trump is now threatening to totally destroy everything he can destroy in Iran. This may include the use of nuclear weapons. He has repeatedly hinted at their use, and he now threatens that the Iranians will be &#8220;living in Hell&#8221; if they do not comply with his demands.</p><p>If Iran is bombed into &#8220;the stone age&#8221; would that be winning? This is a victory for barbarism.</p><p>The massive destruction caused by this war of choice, chosen by the Israelis, amounts to a war on civilisation itself. It was needless.

The US will be isolated and condemned, a domestic political crisis will develop, and so on.</p></li><li><p>These war crimes are not limited to the bombing of Iranian schools, hospitals, universities, civilian populations and water and power supplies</p></li><li><p>These war crimes include the destruction of the global supply chain initiated by Israeli attacks on water desalination plants and oil and gas installations which will likely destroy the global financial system</p></li><li><p>Public awareness is growing over the cost of this war and its impact</p></li><li><p>Privately, diplomats and politicians recognise the severe crisis which has been created by this war</p></li><li><p>This includes the likelihood of famine in the developing world, the end of the global economy as was, with fuel, food, fertiliser and medicine shortages becoming practically permanent for Western Europe in the near future</p></li><li><p>Israel and the US will be hated by the world for having destroyed the global economy for a war that cannot be won, and whose continued prosecution can and will only make this crisis worse</p></li><li><p>The global shortage of fertiliser will likely create famine conditions in nations which cannot sustain crop yields without the chemicals which caused the &#8220;Green Revolution&#8221;. These chemicals are now removed from the global supply chain</p></li><li><p>Diesel, petrol and aviation fuel supply chains are severely affected and supplies will run short, if not completely dry, in Western European nations</p></li><li><p>Transport will be curtailed, a lockdown will likely result with work from home, home deliveries of all goods will likely be limited or vanish, commuting and school runs will become impossible, food prices will continue to rise, it is reasonable to expect rationing of fuel, food and medicine</p></li><li><p>If the war stopped immediately some of these supplies may resume in four months or so. Some will take years, some will never return</p></li><li><p>The world as was before the war has gone and it is not coming back. As populations realise this fact, outrage will follow. By the time this outrage becomes significant it will be too late to have any effect.</p></li><li><p>The Israelis do not listen to any diplomatic appeals including those from the United States. Nothing will be meaningfully done to restrain the Israelis</p></li><li><p>There is hope that the domestic crisis in Israel, which is severe, may compel a change of direction from the certain destruction of Israel which will result from the continuation of this war and the likely consequence of the use of nuclear weapons by the Israelis</p></li><li><p>The impact on Americans will be devastating as they realise that higher &#8220;gas&#8221; prices are not their only concern for a change. In reality, the US is finished in the Middle East, it is running short of missiles, it is suffering heavy losses, it cannot eliminate a nation of over 90 million people, it has alienated all its allies for the sake of Israel, whose influence network internationally will be vilified as Westerners realise their entire way of life has been destroyed by the Israelis</p></li><li><p>The US government and some Americans online condemn Europeans and Britons for refusing to fight for the death of civilisation. There is no condemnation of the Israeli refusal to commit ground troops to Iran</p></li><li><p>Western audiences are completely unaware of the severe domestic crisis in Israel which has been brewing for years. There is a state adjacent to civil war, the army is exhausted, operations in Lebanon have been a disaster, are being scaled back, Israel permits terrorists to kill, burn, loot and destroy water supplies in the West Bank, and Israel is bulldozing homes, killing Catholics and their priests, and conducting chemical warfare in Southern Lebanon. For example</p></li><li><p>Israel has stated its policy in Iran and in Lebanon is to do another Gaza. It has openly stated it is following the Dahiyeh Doctrine, as I warned it would at the beginning of this war</p></li><li><p>This means the deliberate killing of civilians and the aim of totally destroying civilian infrastructure to make life impossible. Agricultural land is poisoned, livestock water supplies destroyed, crops burned, houses levelled, and so on. This is taking place in the open with no mention in the Western war narrative of the scale of these crimes or the stated ambition to commit them everywhere Israel wages war</p></li></ol><div

Many such cases.</figcaption></figure></div><p></p><div><hr></div><h4>Why is Israel doing this?</h4><ol><li><p>In 1982 the Oded Yinon Plan for Greater Israel was published. This envisioned the expansion of Israel&#8217;s borders into neighbouring lands, with the goal being permanent regional supremacy for Israel</p></li><li><p>The wars launched by Israel influence in Iraq, Libya and Syria for example created the mass migration routes and flows which have seen Western Europe flooded with migrants. </p></li><li><p>This migration has itself become a business, with billions being made facilitating human trafficking into the West. Liberal regimes have partnered with NGOs to facilitate the creation of a global bazaar in place of nations, destroying local culture, corrupting law, justice, morality and meaning through marketing national extinction as a virtue.</p></li><li><p>Last year US ambassador Mike Huckabee said the US would be comfortable with Israel taking all the land demanded in the Greater Israel plan.</p></li><li><p>Iran is the last remaining major obstacle to this project. This is the reason the Israelis have pushed the same war plan, with the same methods, making the same threats and promises, on US governments for over 30 years</p></li><li><p>The plan failed immediately. This failure was predicted by US and Israeli intelligence</p></li><li><p>Both the US and Israeli governments have ignored and then sacked the defence and intelligence chiefs which warned about this disaster in the making</p></li><li><p>This war can no longer secure Israeli regional dominance by &#8220;regime change&#8221; nor by destroying Iran&#8217;s military capability</p></li><li><p>The fallback is to attempt to destroy as much of the civilian infrastructure in Iran, in the wider Gulf.</p></li><li><p>For public consumption Netanyahu has twice appeared on TV to say the goal of Israel is to reroute oil and gas pipelines through Israel, giving the Israelis regional postwar dominance by securing control of strategic resources and realising the Israeli ambition of becoming a world power.</p></li><li><p>This is unrealistic. In reality, I believe the strategy of the Israelis is to destroy the global economy. This is because the Israelis realise they cannot win the war, their lobby and its influence will be destroyed when the world realises its enormous costs, and so the Israelis seek to take us down with them.</p></li><li><p>This I call the Economic Samson Option. It is in my view the only reading which makes sense of the rounds of  destruction initiated and escalated by Israel, and which include repeated attempts to blow up the Bushehr nuclear reactor.</p></li><li><p>If successful, large areas of the gulf would become uninhabitable. A nuclear escalation becomes more likely once a nuclear disaster breaks the threshold of widespread radiation fallout.</p></li><li><p>The world does not yet acknowledge that the Israeli strategy is to cause maximum damage to the world, as the war narrative is parcelled by fake negotiations, market manipulation, boasts of destructive power and the delusional belief that Donald Trump has the power to stop the war. Israeli influence in the British political class, for example, helps to shield wider populations from these facts, framing criticism of Israel&#8217;s crimes as a special case of racist hatred.</p></li></ol><p>Donald Trump had the power to not start the war, if it is to be believed he is in charge of the US. He did not do so, and was warned that this disaster would follow. Nothing he has said about the war before or since it began has corresponded to reality. It is unlikely he will change.</p><p>I suspect the enormous weight of his actions will kill him. Donald Trump has destroyed America and the global economic system it created and led. This is an inescapable fact and the consequences extend far beyond the comprehension of most Americans. For now. This will change, and the result will be uproar.</p><p>Nothing anyone can do now is going to bring the old world back. This is the end.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

is a universal crime. It is a war crime on a scale unseen so far in human history. It has ended the world as we knew it, and may yet result in an uncontainable nuclear catastrophe to compound the devastating economic fallout whose effects have not yet manifested in the lives of ordinary people in the US and the West.</p><p>This is the endgame of the permanent war economy sold to populations as liberal democracy. We are in a trap. For over a century the internationalist liberal system waged war at home in permanent social revolution powered by the dominance of media and culture.</p><p>It waged permanent war abroad to collapse nations into its global supermarketplace, its goal being to replace all things, everywhere, with itself.</p><p>The trap we are in is forged by the rule by media, which conceals the evil of this system from its domestic populations. It sells this system as the best of all possible systems, and trains its populations to applaud all the toxic effects the permanent war economy produces at home. </p><div

The military and propaganda strategy and tactics are lifted directly from the Israelis, too.</p><p>The example given above by Donald Trump, published today, shows that the US grand strategy of the war is also that of the Israelis.</p><p>There are, have been and will be no &#8220;negotiations&#8221; with Iran. The news about talks is simply not true. </p><p>The reality is this war was begun by Israel to realise its dream of becoming the regional power. The war is a disaster and realising this by force is now recognised by the Israelis to be impossible.</p><p>As I explained in my last post, Netanyahu has now said the goal of the war is to reroute all oil and gas through Israel. This is also impossible, but it explains why the Israelis are urging the destruction of all oil and gas and civilian infrastructure in the region. This is to make it all unusable.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://x.com/StateDept/status/2038596812630593961?s=20" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!rlC6!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5a55c7b5-e56f-4fe6-bf14-954f43a07d10_525x452.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!rlC6!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5a55c7b5-e56f-4fe6-bf14-954f43a07d10_525x452.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!rlC6!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5a55c7b5-e56f-4fe6-bf14-954f43a07d10_525x452.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!rlC6!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5a55c7b5-e56f-4fe6-bf14-954f43a07d10_525x452.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!rlC6!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5a55c7b5-e56f-4fe6-bf14-954f43a07d10_525x452.png" width="525" height="452" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5a55c7b5-e56f-4fe6-bf14-954f43a07d10_525x452.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:452,&quot;width&quot;:525,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:220389,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/StateDept/status/2038596812630593961?s=20&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.frankwrighter.com/i/192614756?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5d2a36c4-1c48-4fce-b2ce-11acd8713cc1_1920x1080.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!rlC6!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5a55c7b5-e56f-4fe6-bf14-954f43a07d10_525x452.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!rlC6!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5a55c7b5-e56f-4fe6-bf14-954f43a07d10_525x452.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!rlC6!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5a55c7b5-e56f-4fe6-bf14-954f43a07d10_525x452.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!rlC6!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5a55c7b5-e56f-4fe6-bf14-954f43a07d10_525x452.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">The new war aim is destruction, which is the business of regime change.</figcaption></figure></div><p></p><p>I believe this is not the real plan.

how consumers are consumed</h4><p>We wear and consume brands to say and display something about ourselves, to others as to ourselves. The more you do this, the more of you is consumed by the brand. You are a Coke person, a Burger King preferrer, you consume and are consumed by the opinions of your preferred podcaster. You consume the news and regurgiate its views as your view.</p><p>In the internet age you can find a view which suits you to refute other views. This cafeteria mentality is the popular mentality today.</p><p>Ultimately, what is preferred is usually one of many perspectives providing an alternative structure of reality to inhabit, by which you organise your feelings about yourself and the world. </p><p>In this contest what is true becomes indistinguishable from any other point of view. The result is decoherence - the archimedean point vanishes. There is no agreement possible on the nature of reality. This helps the system of destruction, as no one can agree on what is really happening and why.</p><p>Belief becomes an hallucination marketplace.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

beliefs can be described as messages from their sponsors. </p><p>Some  - very few - messages are in fact true. Horizontal information warfare makes this extremely difficult to detect, as the horizon is limitless, all encompassing, can never be grasped and to approach it in the hope of doing so is to exhaust yourself in the effort. </p><p>Making all information into one dimension with nothing but preference as a guide is to say all points of view grant the same sight of reality, whereas in fact most are crafted to be alternatives. Think of them as pictures you put up over your window to the world. They occupy the frame and the space of your view of reality by covering it up. </p><p>To each his own wallpaper.

In Europe, the same but marginally less severe as UK lies at the end of a supply chain running dry.</p><p>Australia is already running out of fuel. New Zealand will run out of fuel. </p><p>The war will not stop until the Israelis will stop, and no one seems to be willing at present to attempt to restrain them.</p><p></p><ol start="5"><li><p><strong>Why is there so little recognition in the media if things are so bad?</strong></p></li></ol><p>Elite class media has indeed reported on these issues this week, as I predicted they would begin to do, and then I said they would stop.</p><p>The reason for this is twofold. Telling people the truth will cause panic and despair. The second is the realisation of the likely fatal damage to the global system this war threatens to complete. The third is it is the complete lack of restraint on Israeli action which has brought Israel and the world to the brink of disaster. This reality would collapse the American worldview completely. </p><p>This reality is coming, sooner or later. The question is only whether it will be delivered to the American people before or after the point of no return.</p><div><hr></div><h4>The Awful Truth</h4><p>Here are my lists Awful Truths. These will be widely known within weeks despite (and eventually because of) the denial of reality by the leadership class and its media.</p><p><strong>EFFORTS IN THE CAUSE OF SANITY ARE UNDERWAY.</strong></p><p><strong>Pray for success.</strong></p><div><hr></div><p><em>The Trump Administration is Lying to You </em></p><ol><li><p>There was no reason for the war (no nuclear threat)</p></li><li><p>Every aspect of this crisis was predictable and predicted</p></li><li><p>US Government was warned by its own intelligence that this disaster would ensue</p></li><li><p>USG has isolated itself from sane advice</p></li><li><p>Donald Trump, the US government and its sympathetic media are simply making things up to pacify the markets and the population </p></li><li><p>Insider trading timed to Trump talking down the war suggests these people are cashing out now</p></li><li><p>The global economy is facing collapse, with famine and riots a serious possibility in many countries including those in the wider West.</p></li></ol><div><hr></div><p><em>The &#8220;Peace talks&#8221; were MOSTLY fictional</em></p><ol><li><p>Israel has assassinated Iranian negotiators for over a year. </p></li><li><p>Israel launched a war during the latest round of negotiations <strong>because the negotiations were successful in removing the case for war</strong></p></li><li><p>Iran has said there will be no more negotiations</p></li><li><p>US &#8220;negotiators&#8221; Witkoff and Kushner <a href="https://responsiblestatecraft.org/witkoff-iran-war/">are regarded as Israeli assets</a></p></li><li><p>Witkoff invented the claim about Iran boasting of having material for 11 nuclear bombs to enrage Trump</p></li><li><p>No one else in the talks heard the Iranians say this</p></li><li><p>The Pakistani Foreign Ministry has denied any mediation taking place despite repeated assurances from Trump that &#8220;talks are going well&#8221;.</p></li><li><p>The Iranians are not talking to the Americans directly or indirectly.</p></li><li><p>Russians are talking to the Americans, absent the Israelis and the Iranians.</p></li><li><p>Some deal may be possible to de-escalate Ukraine and Iran in tandem but it remains unclear and in my view unlikely</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/israel-took-irans-araqchi-qalibaf-off-hit-list-pakistan-request-pakistani-2026-03-26/">Reuters has reported</a> the Israelis intended to kill the Iranian Foreign Minister and the Parliamentary Speaker</p></li><li><p>This is obviously aimed at killing anyone who could arrange peace</p></li><li><p>This is the Israeli strategy as it has obviously been so far</p></li><li><p>Given the foregoing, and the fact the Iranians are winning, do you believe the German Foreign Minister when he says he &#8220;believes&#8221; talks will now proceed? </p></li><li><p>Statements such as this have routinely appeared on Fridays and Mondays to calm markets, whilst Israeli strikes on infrastructure and <a

It seems much of Israel does but the leadership does not. Why?</p></li><li><p>Netanyahu will go to prison when peace breaks out. His strategy is and always has been (since the 1970s) to ride the waves of forever war. He has devoted his career to starting these wars and he began in 1979 to persuade the US and UK to adopt the &#8220;war on terror&#8221; as their grand strategy.</p></li></ol><p>The regime that has changed most is ours.

Melman&#8217;s article here</a> (machine translation here)</figcaption></figure></div><p></p></li><li><p>Barnea (who had previously been living at the White House in the runup to the war) said he gave no guarantee of a quick regime change, insisting that Netanyahu was told the protests would take months to come to this result (if ever).</p></li><li><p>The spat is over the impression that Netanyahu&#8217;s people told Trump that &#8220;regime change&#8221; would come instantly.</p></li><li><p>&#8220;Regime change&#8221; was always an illusion. It was never realistic, the Israelis reported in January that the Iranian state was resilient and would not be destroyed by assassinations, protests or aerial bombing. </p></li><li><p>US intelligence said this too. This was all ignored. </p></li></ol><p><em>Regime change is a marketing term for the monetisation of the destruction of your entire way of life. This has been going on for the last three or four decades and so you have become accustomed to it. </em></p><p><em>Regime change is the profit making industry of the mass production of dramatic decline in every dimension of life. </em></p><p><em>It has corrupted religion and politics completely.</em></p><p><em>Regime change has left us with nothing. It has produced populations enchanted by ignorance into the belief that progress was identical with a state of moral and financial bankruptcy.</em></p><p><em>Those who adjusted to this advertising campaign are incapable of recognising reality and therefore do not wish to understand what they have lost. This news is devastating  because it is not fake.</em></p><div><hr></div><h4>Real Talk</h4><p>Some people have congratulated media figures for daring to suggest the war might not be going well, for noticing there is no plan, and other remarks weeks behind the facts and now being mentioned because it carries more reward than risk to say so.</p><p>This is not real talk. As we all know now, we are ruled by a gang of crooks.</p><p>That is the real talk. It is the only talk worth talking. If people do not talk about this don&#8217;t listen to them. They have nothing worthwhile to say and will not help you restore our civilisation from the ruin into which it has been managed by the management and their helpmeets.</p><div><hr></div><h4>What comes next?</h4><p>All the US and Israel can do now is cause more damage. I think they will do so if they are not stopped, and I think all the talk about peace talks has no basis in reality as the Iranians have not been involved for obvious reasons. </p><p>The issue here is not Iran, anyway, and it never has been.</p><p>No one is restraining Netanyahu. It is possible he can be stopped by the Israelis themselves, but seemingly no one else so far. He seems indifferent even to Russian warnings over his attempt to create a nuclear disaster.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

He has contradicted everything he has said himself, many times, and it would be foolish to rely on anything he says now. </p><p>This means<strong> escalation</strong>. That means <strong>more disaster</strong>. In Europe, Australia, New Zealand - what arrives will not be followed by resupply. What we have we will ration, and then it will be gone.

The regime is staffed with people selected for their belief in the regime. </p><p>They are incapable of recognising and dealing with the effects the regime&#8217;s own decisions have caused. </p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!BNZV!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F91958aed-0dcd-44f1-9813-451cb70f2da2_800x800.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!BNZV!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F91958aed-0dcd-44f1-9813-451cb70f2da2_800x800.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!BNZV!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F91958aed-0dcd-44f1-9813-451cb70f2da2_800x800.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!BNZV!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F91958aed-0dcd-44f1-9813-451cb70f2da2_800x800.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!BNZV!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F91958aed-0dcd-44f1-9813-451cb70f2da2_800x800.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!BNZV!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F91958aed-0dcd-44f1-9813-451cb70f2da2_800x800.jpeg" width="365" height="365" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/91958aed-0dcd-44f1-9813-451cb70f2da2_800x800.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:800,&quot;width&quot;:800,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:365,&quot;bytes&quot;:269105,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.frankwrighter.com/i/191570440?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F91958aed-0dcd-44f1-9813-451cb70f2da2_800x800.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!BNZV!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F91958aed-0dcd-44f1-9813-451cb70f2da2_800x800.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!BNZV!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F91958aed-0dcd-44f1-9813-451cb70f2da2_800x800.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!BNZV!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F91958aed-0dcd-44f1-9813-451cb70f2da2_800x800.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!BNZV!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F91958aed-0dcd-44f1-9813-451cb70f2da2_800x800.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Slopaganda  -

out of the system.</p><p><strong>Nothing works but the engine of destruction</strong>. There is always more money for war. Of course there is. The goal of regime change was endless war - abroad and at home, and on civilisation itself. Regime change is a scam run by conmen for their own enrichment at the expense of everyone and everything else, and it is going out of business right now.

propaganda known as reality is incoming like a truth nuke to glass the entire American system.</p><p>No sources. There is a reason I predicted what was going to happen a long time ago (and a short time ago as well). Predictive power directly correlates to descriptive power.</p><p>That means the closer your descriptions correspond to what is the better you can see what will be. I explain how this works in the essay in part 2. It&#8217;s not just me. Anyone who can still see what reality and being really are knows all this.</p><div><hr></div><p>Anyway here is the news for the next two weeks:</p><ul><li><p>Donald Trump is now flatly denying reality</p></li><li><p>USG has lost control of events</p></li><li><p>USG is not serving American interests </p></li><li><p>Reality is going to appear in the US and Western mainstream media</p></li><li><p>Americans especially are going to be very cross as a result</p></li><li><p>The true cost will make the war appear an act of reckless treason</p></li><li><p>The war is lost, the only question now is the cost</p></li><li><p>Wait till you find out they&#8217;ve been making money out of it too etc</p></li><li><p>This will be a tremendous shock to many people so be prepared to help</p></li><li><p>(It will also make things and people very unstable)</p></li></ul><p>You can probably work the rest out yourselves. This process started on Sunday, by the way. Brace for impact.</p><p>The truth about this war is far worse than most people know and soon they will.</p><p>Reality is providing the necessary correction and this process cannot be stopped.</p><div

It sought to replace the common sense of reality with a production line of advertisements for whatever the system was selling at the time.</p><p>The reason why you are now seeing Donald Trump post things so detached from reality he appears to be a stranger to it is because he is. He is also obviously lying. By coincidence, Israel has been doing evil things for decades and lying about them.</p><p>This is how power worked until it didn&#8217;t.

This is just one example. This applies at scale throughout every significant institution in the West.<strong> </strong></p><p><strong>We have been ruled by a system which functioned as an inverse meritocracy - penalising the sane and the good.</strong></p><p><em><strong>The regime discriminates against anyone with any genuine moral principles.</strong></em> </p><p><strong>It punishes people who tell the truth</strong>. </p><p>At scale, this means numberless people have had their lives ruined so spivs and con men can occupy lucrative sinecures.</p><p>This is true in our literary, artistic and entertainment culture as it is in our politics, media, academia and everywhere else. It has killed opportunity for the most talented. It has stigmatised the wise and finished the careers of those with the necessary courage to denounce corruption and evil.</p><p><strong>Think of the culture we could have had</strong> if the best people had not been permanently excluded by policy for decades, in order to advance the interests of the worst.</p><p>This is how we end up being governed by illiterate, morally bankrupt chisellers who are only in it for themselves. This is how we end up in the State we are in.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ypu3!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F81e8661e-bcf1-4176-bc54-a3b15a748c43_1179x1474.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ypu3!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F81e8661e-bcf1-4176-bc54-a3b15a748c43_1179x1474.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ypu3!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F81e8661e-bcf1-4176-bc54-a3b15a748c43_1179x1474.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ypu3!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F81e8661e-bcf1-4176-bc54-a3b15a748c43_1179x1474.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ypu3!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F81e8661e-bcf1-4176-bc54-a3b15a748c43_1179x1474.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ypu3!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F81e8661e-bcf1-4176-bc54-a3b15a748c43_1179x1474.jpeg" width="410" height="512.5869380831213" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/81e8661e-bcf1-4176-bc54-a3b15a748c43_1179x1474.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1474,&quot;width&quot;:1179,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:410,&quot;bytes&quot;:211566,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.frankwrighter.com/i/190822241?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F81e8661e-bcf1-4176-bc54-a3b15a748c43_1179x1474.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ypu3!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F81e8661e-bcf1-4176-bc54-a3b15a748c43_1179x1474.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ypu3!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F81e8661e-bcf1-4176-bc54-a3b15a748c43_1179x1474.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ypu3!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F81e8661e-bcf1-4176-bc54-a3b15a748c43_1179x1474.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ypu3!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F81e8661e-bcf1-4176-bc54-a3b15a748c43_1179x1474.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Rod Dreher, cultural takesmith.

This is literally the Devil&#8217;s work, and of course the wages of sin is death. That is why our people are dying out because our Christian culture has been poisoned. </p><p>This is the moment we needed to clear this rotten system out forever. This revelation of strategic and moral blindness, of financial and intellectual bankruptcy, and the literally Satanic forces behind the crime syndicate which has gutted our civilisation is the mandate

former IDF chief, two former Israeli Prime Ministers and the current head of Shin Bet, the Israeli domestic security service. </p><p>All these people have condemned Netanyahu and his insane coterie of

WORLD</h4><p><em><strong>Nuclear armageddon is actually the plan of many people in the Israeli and US governments.</strong></em></p><p>This is obviously insane, but it is the case.<strong> The Temple Movement</strong> is a lobbying group which has become extremely influential in the US over the last 13 years.</p><blockquote><p><em>The Temple Movement&#8217;s influence&#8212;once largely limited to the most extreme settler groups in Hebron and Jerusalem&#8212;has been on the rise since 2010, the same year that US voters gave the GOP control over the House of Representatives. </em></p><p><em>Since then, Republicans traveling in Israel/Palestine have repeatedly visited Al-Aqsa with Temple Movement escorts.</em></p></blockquote><p><strong>This is an organisation which pushes Kahanism.</strong></p><blockquote><p><em>In all, more than 40 Republicans&#8212;including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows, and, following his time in office, former Vice President Mike Pence&#8212;have met with Kahanists since 2011</em></p></blockquote><p><strong>What is Kahanism? It is a &#8220;Jewish fascist movement&#8221; founded by a New York rabbi.</strong></p><blockquote><p><em>The Temple Movement&#8230;has its roots in Kahanism, the Jewish fascist movement founded by Brooklyn-born rabbi Meir Kahane in the 1960s. </em></p></blockquote><p><strong>Kahane moved his project to Israel, where it was banned.</strong></p><blockquote><p><em>In the early &#8217;70s, Kahane created an Israeli political party, Kach, which led a <a href="https://vault.fbi.gov/meir-kahane">transnational</a> <a href="https://imeu.org/article/fact-sheet-meir-kahane-the-extremist-kahanist-movement">campaign</a> of violence in an effort to provoke the voluntary and forced transfer of Palestinians from Israel/Palestine, and advocated for the establishment of a theocratic ethnostate.</em></p></blockquote><p>Yet is has returned in force. <strong>As </strong><em><strong>Jewish Currents </strong></em><strong>reported, there is a new Jewish fascist party and the movement is at its all time peak:</strong></p><blockquote><p><em>A new Kahanist party, Otzma Yehudit, has also taken Kach&#8217;s place in the Knesset. &#8220;The Kahanist movement is far from being dead in Israel,&#8221; said Aviv Tatarsky, a researcher with Ir Amim, which monitors human rights violations in Jerusalem. </em></p><p><em><strong>&#8220;It&#8217;s the strongest it ever was.&#8221;</strong></em></p></blockquote><p>So why does this religious-ethnic extremism matter? </p><div

ARMAGEDDON FACTION</h4><p><strong>The aim of Kahanists is to provoke armageddon.</strong></p><blockquote><p><em>The Temple Movement&#8217;s efforts are aimed at accomplishing a single, symbolically important piece of the Kahanist project: Its various organizations <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/as-support-widens-for-jewish-prayer-on-temple-mount-should-we-fear-apocalyptic-consequences/">seek</a>, per movement founder Yisrael Ariel, to &#8220;flatten&#8221; Al-Aqsa, the hilltop mosque and compound in Jerusalem&#8217;s Old City that is home to Islam&#8217;s third-holiest site.</em></p></blockquote><p><strong>The influence of Kahanism on US foreign policy dates back to the Obama administration, which aimed to destroy the two-state solution:</strong></p><blockquote><p><em>A senior official who served under President Obama and requested anonymity to speak candidly about sensitive foreign policy issues told Jewish Currents that <strong>Republicans with ties to the Temple Movement represented a growing faction within the party</strong> that was &#8220;actively trying to cultivate a different approach to what had been a real bipartisan consensus [on Israel/Palestine] for many decades: a negotiated two-state solution.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"
