The Fall and Rise of Humanity

Posted on April 30, 2026 by kjmaclean

From the 1890s through the first decade of the 20th century the spiritualist movement was at its height. Millions of people in the US and Europe believed that an individual’s awareness persists after death and may be contacted by the living. The afterlife, or the “spirit world,” was seen by spiritualists as a non-corporeal space where beings continue to interact and evolve. This public awareness was the potential beginning of an evolution to a state of higher consciousness.

At the same time, in the 1890s, Nikola Tesla was developing a way to harness unlimited clean energy, using what he called the “luminiferous aether.” Conducting experiments with longitudinal electric waves – waves of DC energy created via high energy pulsations – Tesla observed that radiant energy originated from the aether.

The Aether

The aether is the hidden, underlying substrate of unlimited energy that exists in perfectly balanced equilibrium within the fabric of space.  Modernly it is called zero-point energy, after its discovery during the development of quantum mechanics in the early part of the 20th century.

In 1930 Nikola Tesla wrote:

Long ago he (man) recognized that all perceptible matter comes from a primary substance, or tenuity beyond conception, filling all space, the Akasha or luminiferous ether, which is acted upon by the life giving Prana or creative force, calling into existence, in never ending cycles all things and phenomena.
— Nikola Tesla, “Man’s Greatest Achievement,” July 13, 1930

Tesla understood the relationship between science and spirituality, as well as the link between the ether and matter and energy: They are interwoven. All matter and energy are excitations of an underlying substrate, a universal clean energy source. This energy is perfectly and radially balanced at every point such that it appears nothing is there. However, Tesla learned from experimentation that when this substrate is disturbed, it can release energy.

Wireless Transmission of Power

Tesla’s revolutionary new transmitter (not his AC turbines, which became the standard for electricity generation worldwide), was announced in a scientific paper in 1892. The transmitter used abrupt discharges of electrostatic potentials that released kinetic Radiant Energy from the aether. Tesla discovered that this energy could be accessed at certain resonance frequencies, which allows energy from the aether to flow with little or no resistance through systems, whether near or far away. And all of it could be done at room temperature.[1]

During Tesla’s experiments at Colorado Springs in 1899, he transmitted energy that traveled longitudinally and did not diminish with distance according to inverse-square laws. He induced resonance in distant objects without a wired connection.

Tesla was the first experimenter to discover longitudinal waves, which are waves of compression and rarefaction in the medium of space itself, as distinct from the transverse oscillations of conventional electromagnetic radiation.

Tesla built his Magnifying Transmitter on Long Island in the early 1900s and called it Wardenclyffe. The Magnifying Transmitter was to be a source of free electricity usable anywhere in the world.

What happened after that to Tesla was predictable, given the low level of human consciousness at the time.

John Bedini, himself an inventor of some renown, quotes Gerry Vassilatos, in “Secrets of Cold War Technology”:

Tesla returned to New York exultant. He was about to establish a new world precedent. Venture capitalists were everywhere, looking for their opportunity to enter the “new energy” market. Unknown to Tesla, his station, its tower, the large coils, the capacitors, and all the other marvelous apparatus, which demonstrated free aetheric power to the world, had been acquired for demolition. Tesla simply went forward, securing new funds from [J.P.] Morgan and others toward the development of a fully functional industry sized station in Long Island, Wardenclyffe Station. Wardenclyffe would be his greatest achievement. Here he would broadcast power to the world, along with a communications network, which could span the globe with innumerable available channels. Aether wave communications. Several stations would augment the power of this first station, from which he proposed to rebroadcast 10,000 horsepower. The Station, a wonderful visionary structure, which dominated the view of Shoreham, Long Island, was not quite complete before it too was seized by court injunctions and torn down.

The Fall

The spiritualist movement was infiltrated with frauds and grifters, just as the anti-war movement in the mid-1960s was infiltrated by the CIA with their “hippie” culture, LSD, and other drugs. Many of the famous rock and rollers had parents in the military/intelligence community, including Frank Zappa, David Crosby, Neil Young, Jim Morrison, Steven Stills, etc.)[2]

The spiritualist movement morphed into the ineffective “New Age” movement and was snot taken seriously.

Nikola Tesla was continually denied funding for his projects and they were all shut down before the second decade of the 20th century. His Magnifying Transmitter was torn down for scrap in order to pay his debts.

History of the Aether Concept

Even before Tesla, in 1864, physicist James Clerk Maxwell developed a mathematical system that precisely described the physics of electromagnetic wave propagation through space using the medium of the aether. Maxwell’s paper also described the scalar electric and magnetic vector potentials, which are the source of electric and magnetic fields.

Oliver Heaviside altered Maxwell’s twenty equations (scientific historians say he ‘murdered’ them) to four, eliminating the significance of Maxwell’s electric and magnetic potentials. Heaviside decided, in effect, that Maxwell’s “medium” was irrelevant, and changed the course of scientific thinking.

Nevertheless, during the development of quantum mechanics it was shown mathematically that there is so much energy hidden within the fabric of space (on the order of 10120) that it could, if accessed, power the planet until the sun novas. At first, according to physicist Hal Puthoff, this discovery was thought to be a mathematical oddity. But it was later confirmed and is known modernly as zero-point energy.[3]

[Zero-point energy] is the energy of empty space. There were arguments starting way back at the time of the Greeks about whether space is really empty or isn’t it. Democritus thought that it was empty and that is how you have room for the atoms to bump around. You had Aristotle coming along saying no, I think space is full of something because we have waves of heat energy and they must travel in something. That argument went back and forth but finally when quantum theory was developed, it became absolutely clear that space, if you look at in a microscopic scale, is more like the base of a waterfall with a lot of frothy, seething activity going on, rather than just something like a placid, empty space. In fact John Wheeler likes to point out that in the volume of a coffee cup, for example, in empty space, there is enough energy to evaporate all of the world’s oceans. This is, by the way, not a fringe concept. It is a basic underlying concept in modern quantum theory.
— quoted from an interview of physicist Hal Puthoff I transcribed

In 1887 Michelson and Morely conducted an experiment with primitive measuring equipment to “prove” that the aether did not exist. Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, published in 1905, and its development in the first part of the 20th century, again proved that an aether is unnecessary.

Einstein insisted that space is empty. So does the Standard Model of Particle Physics.

Einstein was wrong about that. Maxwell and Tesla were right.

The scientific truncation of Maxwell’s and Tesla’s work has given us the economic scarcity we live with today: an economy based on oil and other polluting, inefficient carbon fuels. Along with the wars that inevitably accompany them, and the poverty and death that result from them.

After the promising new unlimited energy physics and the spiritualist movement were “debunked,” humanity fell into a dark age.

The Lost Century[4]

World War I in 1914, the Bolsheviks in Russia (1917), the fascists in Spain under Franco (1936–1975), Mussolini, and the Nazis quickly followed in the late 1930s.

Then came World War II, 1939–1945, which some politicians call World War Eleven, the brutal Chinese Communist regime in 1949, fascist military dictatorships in South America, Asia, and Africa (from the 1960s on), the post-war system of endless regional wars, a carbon fuel empire instead of unlimited clean energy, and a Big Pharma health system in the United States that spends four times what other Western countries spend, with the Western world’s sickest population.

However, clever electrical engineers and inventors kept coming up with devices that used “radiant energy” (the aether/zero-point energy). These inventions were either bought and shelved by the national security establishment under the Invention Secrecy Act, or the inventors’ laboratories were destroyed for those who resisted. Yet research continued in the black, hidden Special Access Programs at places like the Lockheed Skunk Works.

Ben Rich, who ran the place, said just before he died in 1995 that

Jim, we have things out in the desert that are fifty (50) years beyond what you could possibly comprehend. If you have seen it on Star Wars or Star Trek, we’ve been there done that, or decided it was not worth the effort.”
— Source: direct comments by Ben Rich to Jim Goodall via telephone call at the USC medical center approximately one week before Ben passed away on January 5th, 1995.

And so, throughout the Lost Century, Maxwell’s and Tesla’s work was kept alive, but suppressed.

The Rise of Humanity

During the 1950s – 1990s the aether concept underwent a scientific “revival.” Physicists such as Hal Puthoff, Eric Davis, Freidwart Winterberg, Robert Forward, Tom Bearden, and many others began to seriously investigate zero-point energy.

A Downlink of 37 of the 38 DIRDs is available on this page at https://www.theblackvault.com/documentarchive/the-advanced-aerospace-weapon-system-applications-program-aawsap-documentation/

 DIRD stands for Defense Intelligence Reference Document. These are declassified and are perfectly legal to download and read.

There are papers on electrogravitics (antigravity), zero-point energy, teleportation, warp drives, gravitational wave communication, the engineering of spacetime, and a whole lot of other incredible shit. All declassified! Declassified, no doubt, because the technology in these papers has already been implemented in the hidden Special Access Programs.

For the first time ever the Department of Energy has set aside money to investigate fusion reactors, which could supply clean energy to power homes and factories. Trump has bought Tri-Alpha Energy (TAE), who have developed an a-neutronic fusion reactor using plasma, the fourth state of matter. A-neutronic means that the process of generating electrical power does not give off neutrons, which are the source of radiation. These plasma reactors can generate electricity directly without spinning a turbine or boiling water for steam.

A-neutronic power generators can ultimately eliminate our reliance on polluting fossil fuels and inefficient Green technology.

But a-neutronic plasma fusion reactors are just the beginning.

Maxwell’s and Tesla’s aether is being seriously reinvestigated, even as aether-based technologies continue to be hidden in the black projects.

The release of zero-point energy technology into the economy will truly initiate humanity’s rise into a clean, unlimited energy world where every human being can be prosperous without harming the planet.

[1] Tesla’s work is in stark contrast to the government grant-controlled nature of physics today, which invests in boondoggles such as the gigantic particle accelerator at CERN, and in hot fusion (tokamak) reactors that, according to Dr. Robert Bussard, don’t work.

[2] See Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon – Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops and the Dark Heart of the Hippie Dream by David McGowan.

[3] Mainstream physics says that space is empty. The only energy in it is called the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation, left over from the Big Bang which supposedly happened billions of years ago. The amount of this radiation is almost nonexistent, around the order of 10-28 Compare that to the energy within the zero-point field, which is on the order of > 10120 . This gigantic discrepancy is called in physics the Vacuum Catastrophe.

Why Did Trump Attack Iran?

Posted on April 15, 2026 by kjmaclean

One of the primary reasons many Independent voters like myself voted for Trump in 2024 was because we couldn’t stand the alternative: four more years of open borders and massive illegal immigration, and continuation of DEI, ESG, and Global Governance programs written by psychopaths looking for a way to control the planet’s resources and population. (The ESG and Global Governance programs are meticulously documented by esc at escapekey.substack,com)

However, independent voters did not vote for a war. Trump’s attack on Iran was perceived by many of us as an irrational and wholly unnecessary action. It was a violation of his campaign promise, which he had previously used as a talking point in his ’24 campaign.

Everything Trump does is surrounded by exaggeration and propaganda on both sides. And The Donald contributes to the craziness with his contentious social media posts.

This article is my attempt to sort through my own confusion about the attack on Iran.

North Korea and Iran

We know that North Korea has provided Iran with IRBM (Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile) and ICBM (InterContinental Ballistic Missiles) technology since 2013. Cooperation between the two countries has been ongoing since the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s.

During the 2025­–26 period of conflict with Iran, open source reports and social media claims alleged that North Korea supplied Iran with hundreds of ICBMs. When I asked Grok about this it said, “These claims appear to be unverified or exaggerated. No major Western intelligence agencies, UN reports, or mainstream outlets have confirmed the transfer of complete North Korean ICBMs to Iran as of April 2026.”

If North Korea had sent Iran multiple ICBMs would it even be reported by the intelligence community?

If the reports of 100 ICBMs transferred to Iran are just “exaggerated,” that does not rule out the transfer of a lesser number of ICBMs to Iran. We the public are in the dark about the real intelligence because our government is so secretive about nuclear technology.

Does Iran have North Korean ICBMs? Or ICBMs built in Iran? Maybe they do and maybe they don’t. Yet.

It is well known that the North Koreans have nuclear weapons and that they have been developing their own ICBMs with nuclear warheads capable of reaching Europe and the United States. They have also figured out how to enrich uranium to weapons grade quality.

Before the end of February when the first strikes against Iran began, Iran had reached or come very close to the 90% uranium enrichment threshold that would enable a nuclear weapon.

It is therefore very possible that Iran has (or had before the attack) a nuclear missile that can reach the United States.

I have no absolute confirmation of this statement other than open sources, but it seems very possible.

The following is from Dr. Bruce E. Bechtol Jr., president of the International Council on Korean Studies and a fellow at the Institute for Korean American Studies:

“In 2017, North Korea tested what they called the “Hwasong-12.” This missile is an Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM) with a range of forty-five hundred kilometers (or more). North Korea collaborated on it with Iran and proliferated to Iran. Later in 2017, North Korea tested two ICBMs. The first, the “Hwasong-14,” is assessed to be capable of hitting Anchorage in Alaska, while the second, the “Hwasong-15,” is assessed by many analysts to be capable of hitting the east coast of the United States.

“… On September 21, 2020, the US Treasury Department sanctioned several entities and individuals active in Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs. Among them was Seid Mir Ahmad Nooshin, who was ‘key to negotiations with the North Koreans on long-range missile development projects.’

“…In 2021, it was disclosed that, according to the UN Panel of Experts, North Korea had resumed actual shipping of technology and parts to Iran for long-range missile projects. The 2021 information stated, ‘Citing information from a member state, the U.N. report noted that the cooperation included “the transfer of critical parts,” with the most recent shipment taking place in 2020.

“There are those in the United States who are both for and against the current combat operations being prosecuted against Iran. But if one is against these current operations or previously has been against an aggressive foreign policy regarding Iran, that does not excuse downplaying the Iranian threat (or the North Korean proliferation threat). Assessments should be based on evidence, not cherry-picked or adjusted based on politics.

“Thus, we must keep in mind the proliferation that North Korea engaged in to give Iran an ICBM. What else do these pundits think the reason was behind Pyongyang’s proliferation? We must also keep in mind that the Hwasong-15 has already been successfully tested (twice) and can range the United States.”

—— “Iran Has An ICBM Program: They Got It From North Korea,” Bruce Bechtold, March 4. 2026, at https://www.19fortyfive.com/2026/03/iran-has-an-icbm-program-they-got-it-from-north-korea/

But but but…How did a primitive country like North Korea (who cannot even adequately feed its own people) develop an ICBM capable of reaching the United States? How did North Korea develop nuclear weapons?

Well, look at a world map. The Korean Peninsula juts out from and shares a border with China to the northwest and Russia to the northeast. China and Russia are pretty good places to get nuclear weapons and ICBM technology. (North Korea also depends on China for over 90% of its trade, fuel, food, consumer goods.)

The Korean Peninsula

Trump and Kim

Trump, in his first term, had three meetings with Kim Jong-un of North Korea. At all three of these meetings he tried to get Kim to eliminate North Korea’s nuclear weapons and launcher programs. Although the meetings reduced tensions between North Korea and the US at the time, Trump failed.

It is debatable whether Kim is in control of his own country. However, Kim is certainly a spokesman for the North Korean regime. When Kim talks, people listen.

From the New York Times, quoting Kim Jong-un:

“‘Cesspool of evils’ (April 2026)

“North Korea ‘can tip new-type intercontinental ballistic rockets with more powerful nuclear warheads and keep any cesspool of evils in the earth, including the U.S. mainland, within our striking range,’ Kim Jong-un said this in April after witnessing what was called the successful test of an engine for a reliable, long-range missile. The North has repeatedly threatened nuclear strikes against the United States, and it recently has claimed a series of successes in testing various technologies needed to make an intercontinental ballistic missile.

“‘We will not hesitate to slap them’ (March 2026)

“ ‘If the American imperialists provoke us a bit, we will not hesitate to slap them with a pre-emptive nuclear strike. The United States must choose! It’s up to you whether the nation called the United States exists on this planet or not.’ ” These were subtitles in a state-produced video released in March showing a computer-animated nuclear attack on Washington. The North had earlier threatened a nuclear strike against the United States in retaliation for new United Nations sanctions, which were imposed in March to punish the country for its most recent tests of a nuclear device and a long-range rocket.”

These statements by Kim occurred after the start of the war on February 28th. But they are a clear message from North Korea as to its intentions – a “pre-emptive nuclear strike,” confirming that North Korea has nuclear ICBMs. The Iranians have messaged in the same way about destroying the US.

Some analysts don’t trust Kim and think he is just beating his chest. I prefer to take a person at his word, and I’m sure Trump does as well, having talked with him.

In March, North Korea issued a rather ominous five-word statement: “We stand with our friends.” When the intelligence community heard this and the statements above from Kim Jong-un, and saw the computer-animated nuclear attack video on the US, they freaked out. Because we know that Iran and North Korea have been cooperating for quite a while on long-range ICBMs capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.

Here’s an informative 18-minute video on the North Korea-Iran situation:

What made Trump attack Iran?

Iran potentially possessing a North Korean developed nuclear-tipped ICBM, Iran’s possession of  441 kilograms of  >60% enriched uranium, North Korea’s ability to enrich uranium to the 90% weapons-grade level, the long-standing cooperation between the two countries in weapons technology, and the failure to reach agreement between Iran and the US on Iran’s nuclear weapons development, was probably enough to trigger the attack.

I’m not saying the attack was right. I’m just trying to understand why a guy with such a big ego – who never wants to be wrong about anything – would violate his word and start a war a few months before the off-year elections when his party traditionally loses seats in Congress. The reason would have to be a very strong one.

Some news reports stated that Trump was told the war would be over quickly and that the Iranian people would rise up and overthrow the mullahs. That would have been a big win, and a talking point for the Republicans. But it didn’t happen.

If I’m Trump I’m thinking like this: It’s one thing to have a nuclear North Korea that is limited in what it can do by China. It’s quite another to have religious fanatics in Iran ready with a nuclear-tipped ICBM.

Of course, Israel is also run by religious fanatics, and it also has nuclear weapons. That is why both countries are dangerous. But Israel isn’t going to attack the US with nuclear weapons! The country is so small we could turn it into glass in an hour. Bye bye Greater Israel!

Iran is an entirely different situation. The country is huge, and like Afghanistan, its north and central regions are mountainous, and it is well-defended.

This war is also a religious war between American Christian Zionists, Israeli religious fanatics, and Iranian religious fanatics. Trump is in the middle of this insanity, which is probably why – judging from some of his frantic posts on Truth Social – he is being driven crazy by these warmongering lunatics.

But the deeper reason for the war, I believe, is the threat of nuclear attack from Iran. Geopolitically speaking, a nuclear attack on the US would be regarded as a proxy attack on the US by either China or Russia, or both. Both countries have supported North Korea over the decades, particularly China. On March 27, 2021, in Tehran, China and Iran signed the Iran–China 25-Year Cooperation Program that includes Chinese investments of up to $400 billion in Iran in exchange for a steady, heavily discounted supply of Iranian oil to China.

However, I don’t think China would dare allow the hardliners in North Korea to engage in a preemptive nuclear strike on the United States. But their proxy in Iran via their proxy in North Korea? That’s another story. Even a single ICBM attack on the US by Iran would distract the American military away from Taiwan, giving China an opportunity to seize the island.

Putin and Trump have a good relationship. Putin would never sanction a preemptive nuclear attack on the United States. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, considered by many to be the world’s premier diplomat, has made that clear over the years.

Trump as a pawn

Some people say that Israeli fanatics control Trump’s foreign policy and even that Trump joined the Chabad Lubavitch group and converted to Judaism. I think that is nonsense. Trump’s  ego would never allow him or his country to be punked by another country, particularly one as tiny as Israel. This guy recently threatened to end Iranian civilization and bomb Iran back to the Stone Age! No, Trump would never knuckle under to any country, if only because he would consider it to be a personal insult.

Some say he is being blackmailed by Israel because his name appears in the still unreleased batch of Epstein Files. I think that is also nonsense. If there was anything incriminating in those files about Trump, some leaker would have already released it. Trump isn’t exactly popular among Democratic and the majority of Republican staffers in Federal agencies in Washington DC. These folks would feel no qualms at all leaking info about Trump.

Trump haters will of course claim the man is insane, and Church of Trump believers will claim that he can do no wrong. Looking at the situation objectively, I believe the attack on Iran was made by Trump from his evaluation of the U.S. national interest.

As of April 15th, with the US blocking the Strait to Iranian oil and allowing all other ships to pass, the US has regained control of the Strait of Hormuz and will eventually strangle the Iranian economy. This will create good will amongst the Gulf countries, Saudi Arabia, and every country that sends oil tankers through the Strait.    

  The Bigger Picture

The question isn’t who “wins” the war. It’s whether humanity can survive another generation and eventually attain world peace. A thousand years from now historians will look back at this time and shake their heads in amazement at human stupidity. But they will also document, I believe, how the conflicts and the craziness were part of an underlying and massive Consciousness Shift within the psyche of humanity.

What if…

Posted on March 20, 2026 by kjmaclean

The insane war with Iran has a higher purpose?

It seems ridiculous to even suggest such a thing, because war is psychotic. The Iran war is Trump’s war and Trump, it is said, is firmly in the pocket of Israel and the Christian Zionists in this country – such as Miriam Adelson ($34.6 billion) – who fund his campaigns. Trump is just a tool of rich billionaires who want war because war is good business, no matter how many 10-year-old girls get killed in the process.

Arguments like these are made by virtue-signalers who want everyone to know that killing is evil and they are on the right side of the issue! Pointing out the obvious, that oil and gasoline prices are rising, people are being killed unnecessarily, the markets are falling, the war is escalating, and the US is involving itself in another potential Middle East quagmire, are all true.

But pointing this out doesn’t provide solutions, it just soothes the bruised feelings of the authors who are (rightly) against war. I read and listen to a dozen of these pieces every day. One author I follow insists that the world is lurching into a panic over food shortages, LNG supply chains, and the potential for widespread, global famine because of the Iran War.

Reporting on events is necessary. However, black-pilling and dooming just depresses anyone who reads about the “inevitable” bad consequences.

But how could a war possibly have a higher purpose?”

The consciousness shift

What if… powerful forces are moving through the human race and the planet, forces that are spiritual and esoteric – and therefore invisible – related to a massive consciousness shift of 8 billion people?

Could the impetus for a war be motivated not from dark, evil intentions but from a resolution of ancient hatreds? Bear with me for a minute.

  The consciousness space of the human race, and planet earth, is in uncharted territory.  We have become untethered from our past. Historically, when revolutions and war occur the changes in society follow a similar pattern. The revolutionaries kill the previous rulers and assume their roles, and the cycle of history repeats over and over with whatever -ism is the rage du jour. What we are seeing in human societies today is unprecedented. Mass migration, the ascendency of AI, and a Global Governance system designed to control the people and the resources of the entire planet. In the Western world the untethered energy has created a massive consciousness split between the Global Governance techno-control top-down system (old energy) and the desire for a new society based on free speech, human-oriented technology (NOT AI) centered on proven frontier physics concepts that benefit ALL of humanity, and the embracing of creatives and their original thinking that goes beyond the limited boundaries of the old energy.

 On one hand we have a President who is supporting Tri Alpha Energy, a company that makes an aneutronic fusion reactor that can supply unlimited clean and carbon-free energy to the world using plasma, the fourth state of matter. This is the new, untethered energy. (Most people have no idea what I’m talking about, but it’s real.)

This same President has begun a crazy war with Iran (the old energy).

But the Iranian War is different. While the bombs are falling Iran’s foreign minister has said that a new protocol must be put in place regarding shipping from the Strait of Hormuz “once the conflict is over.” Iran has saved its venom mostly for Israel. Although Trump has targeted the Iranian regime’s leaders, he has gone out of his way to avoid hitting civilian power plants, fuel storage, and LNG facilities. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that the United States may lift sanctions on Iranian oil currently in transit to bolster supply and stabilize energy prices.

Trump knows that the American public will not tolerate another Iraq or Afghanistan, and he has to end hostilities as quickly as possible because of the November midterm elections.

Both sides, it seems (except for Israel) are fighting this war with gloves on.

Is Trump responsible?

Donald Trump always gets much of the blame for the mess that is world affairs.

I see Trump as a placeholder for the new energies sweeping the planet, not as the instigator of this madness. The untethered energies are ushering in the final act in the battle of Dark and Light. It’s the New Energy vs. the Old Energy, the New Consciousness vs. the Old Consciousness.

Trump is a combination of both: a visionary who understands the potential for a radical new approach to clean energy, and an egomaniacal warmonger. He’s the perfect blend of new energy and old energy, a walking Contradiction (but a vitally necessary one) who can have two or more opposing thoughts in his head at the same time. He suffers, as in Prince Hamlet’s To Be or Not to Be speech, “the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune” that are largely created by himself, but which mirror strongly held human beliefs.

Trump holds a mirror up to all of us, a mirror that reflects back to us our own good and evil tendencies. Trump is blamed for everything, but that “everything” is a product of 8 billion human beings who refuse to take responsibility for our own thoughts, beliefs, and actions that drive the Overton Window of what is possible.

Trump is a straw man for our own lack of responsibility for the well being of our species and our planet.

Outrageous is a good word to describe Donald Trump, but outrageous is what is needed in this spiritual war. It takes outrageous to show people very clearly what we have acquiesced to after 6,000 years of human civilization. If it aint pretty it’s because we have allowed it to be so.

Doesn’t it seem odd that when something goes wrong, Trump’s name is almost always mentioned? Trump is a man who has the weight of the planet on his shoulders, for he is a person with planet-wide influence. Does anyone really think that the rise to worldwide prominence of this guy is just a coincidence????

If Donald Trump didn’t exist someone else would have occupied this position in human affairs during the Consciousness Shift.

Light and dark must both be utilized

When Trump moves he does so at the instigation of the Higher Power. The Higher Power understands and uses both dark and light.

I look at these forces of consciousness as impulse waves moving through the human psyche as the collective consciousness aligns its thoughts and intentions, moving people this way and that.

This idea can be seen on a graph of a mathematical/geometric proportion called the Golden Ratio, or Phi, which represents perfect mathematical harmony. The Golden Ratio has been used in art and architecture for thousands of years. The human body is constructed on the proportion of the Golden Ratio.

The Higher Power moves toward harmony by moving into the light, and then moving to the dark, over and over again, testing to see how close it is getting to harmony, honing in on perfection. It knows that in the physical universe it can never quite reach perfection, but it always strives for greater harmony, within the limits of humanity’s free will.

In François-Marie Arouet’s (Voltaire) Candide, Dr. Pangloss always says – no matter how bad things get for the hero – “Everything is for the best in this best of all possible worlds.” This idea reminds us that the Higher Power always works for the greatest harmony possible, but is tempered by the free will decisions of humanity. If things are bad, don’t blame the Creator of the universe!

We sometimes derogatorily refer to people we don’t like as “tools.” Well, we are all tools, in our own way, in this great consciousness war.

The spiritual war leads to contradictions

Because we are in a spiritual war, the world today is in a chaos of contradictions. As I pointed out in the last post, this new war has been created by a few Jewish/Israeli religious fanatics, working with American religious fanatics led by Christian Zionists, against a few Islamic religious fanatics in Iran.

The three Abrahamic religions are Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.

They are thousands of years old.

The Iran war is an Abrahamic religious war.

It will have limited scope and can never expand to a world war for the simple reason that religious fanatics are a very small percentage of the earth’s population.

A war (or an idea) can only spread if it has the agreement of a large enough proportion of the population. The Iran War does not.

Yet this war might have a higher purpose. I believe it has the potential to be the catalyst that will finally see a significant lessening of tensions in the Middle East. It could also lead to a resolution of the Sunni-Shia conflict and begin the unification of the Arab world. Arab countries too are tired of fighting.

It will provoke Israelis to finally choose a peaceful solution to their conflict with the Arabs and abandon their insane Greater Israel project. If Israel does not do this it will collapse under the weight of its own contradictions and cease to be a political entity.

It will hopefully lead to the cleanup of massive corruption and grifting at every level of the Federal government in the United States. If the US does not clean up its act its government will also collapse. That might be a good thing.

And it will (and is) exposing the psychopaths who are leading the charge for war and conflict around the world. These people will stick out more and more like sore thumbs, as my grandfather used to say. Their psychopathy will become evident to everyone.

The world will always have darkness in it until the consciousness of humanity completes its spiritual evolution, thousands of years from now. That doesn’t mean we can’t have peace on earth now, but peace on earth doesn’t mean that all is Light and love and kindness. The darkness still exists. Peace on earth does mean an increase in tolerance to the point where humanity says, quoting Captain Kirk, “We wake up and decide that we won’t war today!”

The tension between dark and light is designed to spur creativity and solutions. The more creative solutions are tolerated and tried, the faster will be the evolution of human consciousness.

The crazy events in the world today are all part of a massive, ongoing shift in human consciousness.

Everything is going to be all right.

The Law of Unintended Consequences

Posted on March 11, 2026 by kjmaclean

The fog of war obscures the best laid plans

The more the US and Israel bomb Iran the more opposition this will create among the people of Iran. The Israeli destruction of petroleum storage facilities and water desalinization plants in Iran will also contribute to internal opposition.  

As analyst Jeffrey Prather says, this is not a righteous war. We are the aggressors. The bombing of an Iranian girls’ school, in which at least 150 Iranian girls between the age of 7 and 10 were killed, is an abomination whether these children were deliberately targeted, or were “collateral damage.”

When a war to destroy military targets morphs into a war that destroys civilian targets, it is no longer a war. It is terrorism.

How is the Law of Unintended Consequences in play?

1) The U.S. Navy has informed the shipping industry that it cannot protect ships in the Strait of Hormuz because of the threat of Iranian drone strikes.

2) News reports have stated that the US has been redeploying munitions and air defense systems from South Korea to support operations in Iran. This includes transfers of guided bomb kits and components of THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) and Patriot missile systems.

3) Questions have arisen as to how many U.S. service members have actually died in the war.

4) Questions have been asked whether it was a U.S. bomb or an Israeli bomb that killed the Iranian girls. Was there even a strike on the school or is it just Iranian propaganda? Even asking the question serves the purpose of those who question the validity of the war.

5) Headlines today: (March 11): Iran Warns of Potential $200 per Barrel Oil Prices as It Attacks Merchant Ships 

Strait of Hormuz Crisis Disrupts Fertilizer Trade, Sparking Food Price Fears, Shipping disruptions and plant shutdowns hit fertilizer supply as analysts warn industry is ‘in paralysis’ and say ‘full implications are not yet known.’

The War in Iran boils down to this: A war of Zionist religious fanatics in Israel and WASP religious fanatics in the US against Islamic religious fanatics in Iran. In other words, it is a war of psychopaths in three countries against each other. It would be laughable if it weren’t so tragic, but this is what psychopaths do.  

Iran is not Iraq or Syria or Libya or Venezuela. The Persian people have a proud civilization that is at least 2,000 years old. Iran has a population of over 90 million and the north and midsection of the country is highly mountainous. Remember Afghanistan? The idea that airstrikes will defeat a formidable power like Iran without troops on the ground is delusional.

There are two competing Narratives in this war: 1) The US has invincible technology and we can start wars anywhere we want and no one can do anything about it. 2) The US is a paper tiger and Iran is actually winning the war. Both Narratives are exaggerations, but there is little public certainty about what is actually happening in this war..

One thing is certain: The longer it continues, the greater is the probability that the US loses because we cannot afford to put our troops on the ground. And even if we do we couldn’t hold that territory. Moreover, Russia and China will have something to say about that!

 My hope is that Trump will save face and get the hell out of Iran as quickly as possible. Trump has done good work unifying the Arab world. Let’s not waste that work. It is now time to face the Israel question, and put a damper on Netanyahu and his crazy Greater Israel project. Otherwise the Law of Unintended Consequences will further assert itself and God only knows what will happen after that.

What’s It Like Out There?

Posted on March 9, 2026 by kjmaclean

as above, so below

Are we alone in the galaxy?

Is the galaxy filled with planets that have intelligent life? Or is the galaxy, with over 100 billion stars and hundreds of billions of planets, empty and waiting for colonization by humanity? Both of these concepts have been intensively explored in science fiction.

If the galaxy is empty of life, then 100 billion star systems exist but only one of them, a lucky little planet orbiting around an insignificant sun, was made such that intelligent life could evolve on it. Why make billions of stars and planets if they are all empty? This is a very arrogant and parochial point of view, similar to the chittering squirrel in the tree who thinks he is the most important entity in the universe.

If the galaxy is filled with life, it is likely that many civilizations out there are far more advanced than we are. After all, most of those societies have probably been around a lot longer than we have.

It is tempting to assume then that galactic civilizations are super-advanced both spiritually and technologically, and are ready to welcome the earth into a prosperous galactic society of  benevolent space brothers and sisters.  

Hmmmm… not so fast.

Is spiritual advancement necessary for understanding and building galactic technology?

In our unacknowledged special access programs we have reverse-engineered ET craft that have crashed here or have been shot down using powerful scalar, longitudinal weaponry. In 1995 Ben Rich, former head of Lockheed Skunkworks said, “We have things out in the desert that are fifty (50) years beyond what you could possibly comprehend. If you have seen it on Star Wars or Star Trek, we’ve been there done that, or decided it was not worth the effort.”

According to Dr. Steven Greer of the Disclosure Project, we have technology in our black programs that is so advanced it is beyond the imagination.

On April 14, 2025, Michael Kratsios, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and Trump’s Science and Technology Advisor, said, “Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space. They leave distance annihilated, cause things to grow, and improve productivity.”

Kratsios is describing galactic level technology. If Ben Rich and Kratsios aren’t lying, we primitive warlike humans already possess galactic technology, even though it is hidden away in the special access programs.

It appears, then, that advanced consciousness is not a requirement for the development of super advanced technology. Which implies that galactics may not be as spiritually advanced as their technology.

As above so below

I would argue that the corporate structure on earth mirrors that of societies in the galaxy as a whole. Just as a very small percentage of human beings have attained advanced consciousness, so too for the civilizations in the rest of the galaxy.

Not everyone is successful. Not every civilization makes it.  

I’m sure the advanced space brothers and sisters are out there, but perhaps are not the majority of planets.

The point is this: Evolution does not necessarily guarantee advancement in consciousness. Particularly if the biology – which contains the gateway to higher consciousness and awareness – is polluted with electronics and engineered chemical/medical substances. Indeed, 5.6 billion human beings took at least one dose of the experimental gene therapy / medical countermeasure that masqueraded as a vaccine for a lab-engineered virus. (I checked this with Grok and Gemini and both responded with the same figure.)

Civilizations may dead-end for a number of reasons, they may destroy their planet in a tech war, or fall into a sort of no-growth stasis and die away, even if they are much older than we are. The more time passes the more opportunity there is for success or for failure.

In an age of rapidly advancing technology, according to Children’s Health Defense, 50% (and climbing) of our children suffer from at least one chronic disease.

Look up In-Q-Tel, the CIA’s venture capitalist tech company, and the tech that it is funding, at https://www.iqt.org/portfolio#full-portfolio

In-Q-Tel invests in technologies that serve U.S. intelligence and national security needs.

The portfolio of advanced tech companies funded by IQT is far too vast to be described here. I picked one research area: engineered biology, or synthetic biology. This is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from biology, engineering, computer science, and chemistry to design and construct new biological parts, devices, and systems. And to redesign existing natural biological systems. (Programmed life forms, anyone?) Engineered/synthetic biology treats living organisms and their components like programmable machines that can be built, modified, or reprogrammed to perform specific tasks such as building new living machines.

Redesign natural biological systems? Build new living machines? God help us. Let’s get the same folks who gave us a lab-engineered virus and vaccines that don’t work (“You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations!”) and allow them to redesign humanity.

It would be like asking our chittering tree squirrel to design the next version of the iPhone.

This CIA-funded technology would serve very well to manage billions of unruly human beings in a designed Collective society. It would work hand-in-glove with the Global Governance financial program, described in full at escapekey.substack.com

Super-advanced technology may be crafted by persons with little self-awareness.

What is it like out there?

Exobiologists and astronomers speculate on what life is like “out there.”

A common assumption is that planets in the galaxy that are similarly situated to their suns as is the earth, are also rich in natural and biological resources. But is this a common feature of planets in other solar systems? What if the earth is an outlier? What if most planets in the galaxy are far more resource poor than earth? Either because of low biomass and a paucity of natural resources, or because, in their development, these civilizations have used them up.

Planets would then need to band together into trading networks to share resources. In that case these civilizations must certainly have command and control economies and top-down governments that strictly ration natural and biological resources.

 In this way corporate Collectives would form, mirroring the multinational grouping of corporations that run our planet. Galactic Collectives would take resources from one planet and supply it to other planets that lack those resources. Or do it for profit.

As above, so below.

Collectivism

The earth is undergoing an attempt at Collectivization of the population.

A collectivized society is centralized, top-down, governed by a small group, and characterized by agreement among its members on what is proper behavior. During Biden the collectivists tried to establish a censorship regime, banning posts on social media that did not conform to “correct thinking.” Posts by creatives and intelligent researchers that violated the government Narratives – informative posts such as rebuttals to the obvious lie that COVID-19 vaccines stopped transmission and infection – were pejoratively called “misinformation” and “disinformation” and their authors banned or shadow-banned on social media. These two words indicate the mindset of those who propose them: As in George Orwell’s 1984, there are only certain subjects you may discuss. The rest are verboten.

Collectivist attitudes always lead to a dictatorship where creatives are suppressed. Such a society lacks the elan vital, or the creative energy, that makes a civilization successful. Such a society will eventually collapse because it is an evolutionary dead end. It is characterized by strict secularism and rigid atheism, as well as an anti-social attitude toward those with original and creative ideas.

A collectivized society is a society run by psychopaths. Our society is currently being run by psychopaths.

The origin of Collectivization

What is the origin of these attempts at collectivization? The simple answer is that a bunch of humans use  collectivization to gain control over their fellow human beings. This is perfectly in line with my earlier series on psychopathy. But where does psychopathy come from? Throughout the 6,000-year history of the present civilization it has been a continuous feature of human sociology, regardless of the diversity and evolution in human societies.

This suggests that psychopathy is either a permanent feature of the collective human consciousness, or that it is a continually maintained force within human psychology.

If the former, then humanity is and will continue to be fatally flawed, and our civilization will not survive. This is hopeless Black Pill Doomer thinking, and it is self-defeating and irrational.

If psychopathy is a continually exerted force, then we have a chance to identify it and transform the human psyche. This is far more hopeful, and a worthy goal.

The mind virus

An intriguing suggestion by Elon Musk is that the human psyche is being continually influenced by a mind virus. I transcribed this statement because I thought it was insightful.

“If you walk around downtown San Francisco right near the X aka Twitter headquarters it’s a zombie apocalypse…It’s rough…you have to see it to believe it… You have to say, ‘What philosophy led to that outcome?’ And that philosophy was being piped to Earth. So, uh, you know, a philosophy that would ordinarily be quite niche and geographically constrained – so that the sort of fall out area would be limited – was effectively given an information weapon: An information technology weapon to propagate what is essentially a mind virus to the rest of Earth. And the outcome of that mind virus is very clear if you walk around the streets of downtown San Francisco. It is the end of civilization.”
—Elon Musk, interview with Joe Rogan, Oct 31, 2023

If the galaxy is filled with intelligent life, then the earth is surrounded by other stars and planets with many other civilizations. These civilizations may have long ago developed interstellar relations in business and commerce. It is quite likely that over the millennia, our planet has been visited over and over again, and is being observed as well.

What Elon Musk calls a “mind virus” being “piped to earth” may originate outside our atmosphere. The psychotics who engage in child trafficking, molestation, and Satanic Ritual Abuse are barely human. Same with those who buy and use child pornography. These people will talk about their addiction to having sex with children as something they cannot resist.

The techno-collectivist program is far more dangerous than communism or fascism, which are dystopian but earth-bound philosophies. Collectivism is a species-destroying death cult that may be Elon’s mind virus.

The Collectivist program may have its origin in the big wide galaxy “out there” that sees us as primitives destroying a lush planet with precious and valuable natural and biological resources.

Or it may originate only within the collective human consciousness.

Regardless of the origin of the mind virus, the remedy is the same. Whether this psychic cancer originates in the human collective consciousness or is being “piped to earth” is irrelevant.

Religions and spirituality

The spiritual and religious traditions of humanity are our most important assets, for they guide us (correctly) to the path where human consciousness has a divine origin and transcends the material world. The Collectivist mind virus violates the basic nature of every human being, and our wider spiritual understanding recognizes this.

We still have time to reject the dark elements in human society and create a sane, creative, and prosperous civilization. That can only happen when materialist and collectivist philosophies are rejected. A thriving civilization has creative energy moving through it that can only come from an expression of the individual human being’s divine nature.

Let us embrace the positive aspects of our religions, and our spiritual connections to the Creator, not destroy them. As a wise man once said, “Blessed is the human being who finds God any way they can.”

Our spiritual development is far more important than our technological development.

If we follow these spiritual impulses to their conclusion, I believe we will eventually eliminate psychopathy and become advanced beings, just like the Buddha, Yeshua, and the other Ascended Masters.

Trump’s War on Iran

Posted on March 4, 2026 by kjmaclean

The US and Israel have launched joint attacks on military and nuclear facilities in Iran. Adm. Brad Cooper, commander of the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), said in a March 3 video update on X that the U.S. military has deployed over 50,000 troops, 200 fighter jets, two aircraft carriers, and bombers as part of Operation Epic Fury against Iran, with more capabilities “on the way.”

The war in Iran is a direct violation of Trump’s campaign promises not to get involved in  wars, but to end them.

Historically it is also a violation of international law, which is based on the 400-year-old Treaty (or Peace) of Westphalia. International law is based on the concepts outlined in this treaty, signed on October 24, 1648. The key elements of the treaty are as follows:

· It recognized the principle of cuius regio, eius religio (“whose realm, his religion”). Rulers could determine the official religion of their territories.

· It guaranteed private religious freedom and the right of emigration for religious minorities.

· And most importantly, it established the principle of territorial integrity – that a country has exclusive authority over its territory and domestic affairs, with non-interference from external powers (a foundational idea in modern international relations).

Caveat: The principle of inviolable territorial borders has been debated by scholars. A nation that murders its own citizens is liable to attack on humanitarian grounds. The principle of inviolable borders also breaks down when one nation attacks another nation. One can argue that Iran was attacked unilaterally by the US, but Iran has also acted to destabilize other Arab nations.

What is most surprising to me is the Arab response. In the past, if Israel or the US attacked another Arab nation, the Arab street would erupt with anger and protests, and Arab nations would undertake hostilities against the offenders.

This time, however, the Arab responses have been against Iran! (At least so far. If the war expands that will probably change.)

How can this be when the purpose of Israel’s attack is supposedly the creation of Greater Israel, an aggressive expansion of Israel into Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Egyptian territory?

No, there is something else going on here.

Arab leaders have largely condemned Iran’s retaliatory strikes on Gulf states following the US-Israeli attacks on Iran, expressing solidarity with affected countries and calling for de-escalation while reserving the right to respond.

· The French newspaper Le Monde reports that Saudi Arabia: Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman stated that Saudi Arabia stands ready “to place all its capabilities at their disposal” in support of Gulf states targeted by Iran.

· The New Arab outlet wrote that the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the “blatant Iranian aggression and the flagrant violation of the sovereignty” of UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, and Jordan, affirming full solidarity.

· President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan of the United Arab Emirates: coordinated with Saudi Arabia to form a united front against Iran, marking their first conversation since December 2025 amid strained relations.

· Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani of Qatar spoke with President Trump, calling for containing the “dangerous escalation” in the Middle East. Considering that many of the Hamas leaders live in Qatar, supported by the Sheik,  this is a very calm and measured response.

· Joint Arab Response: Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar issued unified statements condemning Iran’s attacks as a “flagrant violation of sovereignty” and reserving the right to respond.

According to Grok, multiple Arab nations, including Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan, were reported as furious and condemning Iran’s actions in a joint statement.

And in Los Angeles, thousands of people filled the streets, spontaneously celebrating the death of Ayatollah Khamenei. Watch here:

I’m shocked, frankly. No angry paid protesters screaming hatred against the US?

If you are going to start a war against Iran you need at least some public support. What better support is there than expatriate Iranian nationals?

Why are Arab nations not vilifying Israel and the US for their blatant violation of international law?

My guess is that Trump cleared the attack on Iran in previous meetings with Arab leaders.

I asked Grok how many Arab leaders Trump has met with since the start of his second term in January 2025.

Confirmed Meetings with Arab Leaders (January 2025 – March 2026)

King Abdullah II of Jordan

Date: February 11, 2025

Location: White House, Washington, DC

Details: Bilateral meeting focused on Trump’s Gaza takeover/relocation proposal and regional issues.

Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan (President of the UAE)

Date: May 15, 2025

Location: Abu Dhabi, UAE (during Trump’s Middle East trip)

Details: State visit, bilateral talks, mosque tour (Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque), and awarding of the Order of Zayed to Trump.

Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani (Emir of Qatar)

Date: May 14–15, 2025

Location: Doha, Qatar (during the same Middle East trip)

Details: Official meetings as part of Trump’s regional tour.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (Saudi Arabia)

Date: November 18, 2025

Location: White House, Washington, DC

Details: State visit and bilateral talks on trade, defense, AI, nuclear technology, and investments (Saudi pledged up to $1 trillion in U.S. deals).

Multilateral meeting with Arab and Muslim leaders

Date: September 23–24, 2025

Location: New York (on sidelines of UN General Assembly)

Participants included leaders/senior officials from: 

·  Saudi Arabia (Prince Faisal bin Farhan or representative) 

·  United Arab Emirates (Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed or representative) 

·  Qatar (Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani) 

·  Egypt (Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly) 

·  Jordan (King Abdullah II) 

·  Turkey (President Recep Tayyip Erdogan) 

·  Indonesia 

·  Pakistan (Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif)

Details: Trump presented principles for ending the Gaza war and post-war governance; described as a “fruitful” discussion on peace, hostages, and regional stability.

This list is based on White House readouts, official statements, and major news coverage.

The US has been negotiating with Iran on its nuclear weapons for a long time. Up until the start of the war negotiations were ongoing. I won’t comment about the arrogant idea that Israel can have nukes but Iran cannot. Both countries are rogue states and are run by religious fanatics. Nevertheless, Trump seems to have coordinated action with Israel against Iran with pretty much full agreement of the other Arab states in the region. This indicates to me that Iran is anathema in the Arab world.

Finally, you can’t win a war without holding the ground. It would be a grave mistake, in my opinion, if U.S. troops are used to occupy Iranian territory. It might be the end of Trump politically, and the Republicans. Moreover, eliminating Iranian leadership still leaves the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in control of the country. Trying to handpick an Iranian leader would just continue the same regime change operations the CIA has been engaging in since the elected Iranian leader Mohammed Mossadegh was overthrown in a CIA/British coup in 1953. It would be a continuation of the endless war paradigm, which Trump campaigned against.

Comment

Trump, I believe, is determined to destroy the “rules based international order,” which is a cover for the planet’s Dark Economy of human trafficking, drugs trafficking, and arms trafficking. The trafficking networks (along with our very own CIA) are, I would guess, responsible for most of the world’s crime. The Mexican drug cartels have been running drugs like fentanyl, and guns, into our cities for decades. The violence in American cities is a direct result of criminal cartels like Gulf, CJNG, and Sinaloa. Trump has declared these organizations (correctly) to be terrorist organizations. This is an element of the war against the dark economy that I hoped Trump would address before he declared war on Iran. The destruction of our cities is an “America First” issue.

Ending illegal immigration was a positive for Trump, in my mind. Those who favor unlimited immigration don’t factor in the support all smuggled immigrants provide the child raping cartels. The Center for Immigration Studies estimated that during the open-border period (2021-2024,) 85–90% of all ten million illegals were smuggled into the US by the cartels. Grok estimated that the average Central American smuggled into the US pays around $10,000 each to the cartels. That’s billions in support of these violent psychopathic criminals. One way to shut down an organization is to cut off its funding.

Conclusion

Trump negotiated with Arab leaders over a year before attacking Iran, and received their agreement to do so if necessary. It is absurd to think that the Arab world would accept an attack by ISRAEL AND the US in pursuit of the capture of Arab territory in multiple countries, unless negotiations had been successfully concluded. beforehand. What these agreements are I don’t know, but they must involve Israel as well.

Discernment and Higher Consciousness

Posted on February 16, 2026 by kjmaclean

Definitions

Discernment, in its most basic form, is the ability to distinguish the difference between one thing and another. Discernment is related to intelligence. An individual who could not tell the difference between a golf cart and an automobile wouldn’t be intelligent enough to function in society. A politician who suppresses free speech in the name of “democracy” understands neither concept.

My wonderful old Webster’s New College Dictionary, copyright 1962,  shows the etymology (the linguistic origin) of the word discern. It comes from the Middle English discernen, which came from the Old French discerner, which came from the Latin word discernere, dis (apart) + cernere, (to separate).

“1. to separate (a thing) mentally from another or others; recognize as separate or different.

“2. to perceive or recognize; make out clearly.

“discern implies a making out or a recognizing something visually or mentally.”

There are two aspects to discernment. The first, described in Definition 2, is seeing something clearly for what it is. This allows for a comparison between one thing and another. The ability to compare two or more things is dependent on recognizing the differences between them, as well as the ways in which they are similar.

A person who couldn’t tell the difference between a Porsche and a Cadillac has little discernment on the subject of cars. A politician who insists that all entrants to his public rally show ID, and who then speaks and votes against voter ID, cannot recognize the obvious similarities between the two situations.

The word nuance means the ability to see or recognize even very slight differences or similarities between two things or situations. In society, nuanced thinking is critical because otherwise we are reduced to either-or situations where there are only two choices. There may be a world of alternative (and better) choices in between the two options.

Anti-social personalities attempt to reduce complex problems to two choices, phrased in a way to generate conflict. “If you favor voter ID you support voter suppression!” Mind-numbing, dualistic idiocies like this are phrased to promote one outcome and generate social chaos.

Those with discernment are often attacked

Humanity has a problem with psychopathy, which I have been writing about in previous articles. I am convinced that the anti-social personality is the foremost difficulty facing our species (and has been throughout history).

Psychopaths attack anyone with discernment. That’s because intelligent people are able to recognize lies, half-truths, propaganda, and Narratives for what they are: attempts to hide, obscure, and twist what is.

A sense of anxiety overcomes the psychopath when he or she understands that they are in the presence of a discerning person. The psychopath fears that a discerning person is able to see through their lies and recognize their desire for power and control over others. Consequently, a psychopath will ruthlessly attack and even resort to violence (both verbal and physical) to stop the intelligent person from discerning their activities and motives.

The psychopath experiences fear when the intelligent person exposes the phony justifications and Narratives they use to “explain” their hidden but intentionally harmful acts. The child molester cries, “Pedophilia is the love of children! It is a natural human desire!”  

Uh. no. Pedophilia is the abuse of the most vulnerable. It is sick and twisted.

Low discernment = low intelligence

A person of low intelligence – or an otherwise intelligent person who has swallowed an Orwellian narrative or political propaganda – would be unable to distinguish free speech from “misinformation” and “disinformation.”

This 5th grade terminology reduces a nuanced situation to a dumbed-down equation: Free speech = disinformation. It is convenient for those who have lost the ability to think clearly, for they can grab onto a Narrative sound byte and shout down anyone who disagrees.

Discernment is an indicator of intelligence, but also the level of consciousness.

It is the absolute enemy of any dictator or authoritarian.

The mass murderer Pol Pot instructed his security forces to arrest anyone who wore glasses, for fear they might be an intellectual. Such is the level of stupidity demonstrated by those without discernment.

Discernment and consciousness go hand-in-hand.

Higher consciousness and discernment

I discovered this gem reading the work of Marshall vian Summers:

“People are led to believe that they can not really judge anything. “Well, I don’t want to be negative. I’ll be open to it.” Who told them to be open to it? “I’ll be open to whatever happens.” Who told them to be open to whatever happens? People’s critical discernment is being destroyed. So something happens and they say, “Well, you know, I don’t want to judge the situation.” What are you talking about! You need to evaluate what is happening. These people think they cannot be critical. “Well, I can’t really be critical. I don’t want to be negative.” Well, it may be necessary to speak out and say that something is really not appropriate. But these people can’t even do that. People who have been affected by [Narrative control] cannot even make a decision. They cannot look at anything and say, “Well, this is a good thing,” or “This is really not a good thing for me.” So they welcome everything, thinking that is how you must be with life.

“That is not how you must be with life. It is true you must be willing to look at everything. But it is not true that you must accept everything, bond with everything, welcome everything. Of course not! Higher consciousness does not mean that you do not make critical evaluations. It simply means you view things from a higher vantage point. This does not mean that everything becomes gray. It means that everything becomes clear. You clearly see what to do and what not to do, what is good and what is not good. If this is not the product of spiritual study, then someone is being disabled.

“While it is true you must learn not to judge a situation based upon your conditioning or beliefs, ultimately you must judge a situation based upon Knowledge, the Spiritual Intelligence that lives within you. This is the final arbiter in your discernment.

“However, people do not recognize this. They take the first step and they think it is the last step. The first step is where you do not judge. This means you must learn to look and recognize something, which you cannot do if you judge it immediately. This is the first step, but people think it is the last step. The last step is very different from the first step. You do not judge in the moment because you need to see and know and recognize what you are looking at. This is discernment. You cannot be discerning if you judge things outright. Yet beyond this discernment, you must see clearly if something is good or not.”   [bolded text is mine]

— Marshall vian Summers, The Allies of Humanity Book Two: 2nd Commentary

Yes. Discernment also involves a personal decision to consult the Knowledge and wisdom accumulated over a lifetime (or lifetimes), and make a decision.

Lack of discernment can lead to social collapse

Higher consciousness leads to greater discernment, and nuanced thinking. It doesn’t lead to a one-size-fits-all consensus society where everyone agrees with each other. That is a hive-mind society whose creativity and elan vital has been stripped from it.

Such a society is a dumbed-down society, for it cannot distinguish the helpful from the harmful. It has a low level of discernment and intelligence. It tolerates stupidity and violence in the name of openness and generosity, even though such an attitude makes it impossible for openness and generosity to flourish.

A society composed of such dullards will soon be controlled by its 1–4.5% psychopathic element. It will then become a lowest-common-denominator society where merit, creativity, and accomplishment are seen as detrimental or threatening. Such a society will not be led by the able, but ruled by the incompetent.

Sadly, a people who are afraid to defend and promote their culture will soon lose it.  

And that is a goal of the psychopath.

The importance of creativity and spirituality

All psychopaths are materialists, for materialists deny their Higher Selves. A psychopath would laugh at this idea, more’s the pity for them.

Creativity is the key element in any successful person, group, or nation.

Creativity is the hallmark of Spirit, the Creative Source, God.

Without recognition of and access to the Higher Power individuals and civilizations die because discernment dies as well.

In a society run by psychopaths and child molesters, that which is forbidden to be discussed is the truth.

Anti-social personalities commit unspeakable acts of depravity and cruelty against the most vulnerable because they are unable to discern the Godlike nature of all life. And the Godlike nature of themselves.

They get away with acts of intentional harm because those who discern can’t face up to their evil. This is how psychopathy has perpetuated itself within human consciousness for the past 6,000 years.

The good news is that the psychopaths are on the run. The masses are waking up, and their activities are being exposed. This causes fear and terror within the psychopath, who reacts even more wildly, thus exposing themselves even more.

This process will continue until, eventually, enough of them are exposed. Psychopathy will then be recognized by all discerning persons. That is the day we will finally have a chance for peace on earth.

Who are the real psychos?

“Yes,” you say. “But the Left think the Right are all psychopaths, and the Right think that all Leftists are psychopaths. Who are the real psychos?”

There is an easy solution to this dilemma: psychopaths employ verbal and physical violence, fear, and intimidation. Anyone who uses these debased tactics – no matter what they call themselves – is someone whose advice you can safely ignore.

Unbekoming is an Australian medical researcher. His takes go beyond the commonplace and question “everyone knows” assumptions that have been accepted for so long that their validity is never questioned.

Here is an excerpt from his essay, “Five Walls.” To read the entire article go to

The Five Walls

There are four causes of disease: toxic exposure, nutritional deficiency, electromagnetic radiation, and chronic stress. There are over 70,000 ICD diagnostic codes. The gap between these numbers is where the money is.

More than 350,000 synthetic chemicals saturate modern life. Glyphosate laces the food supply. Heavy metals accumulate in tissues. Endocrine disruptors line food containers, saturate thermal receipt paper, infuse drinking water. Vaccines inject aluminium, mercury, formaldehyde, and foreign proteins directly into the bloodstream beginning within hours of birth. Industrial agriculture strips minerals from soil while processing strips nutrients from what grows in it. Artificial electromagnetic fields blanket the planet at intensities unimaginable a century ago. And the chronic stress of modern existence — compounded by emotional patterns encoded in childhood — depletes the body’s adaptive capacity faster than it can be restored.

The body responds to these insults with symptoms.

Inflammation brings repair resources to damaged tissue. Fever accelerates metabolic clearing. Mucus encapsulates and removes irritants. Fatigue enforces rest so energy can be redirected to healing. Diarrhoea rapidly clears toxins from the digestive tract. Skin eruptions push poisons outward rather than letting them circulate internally. Pain signals that something requires attention. These are not malfunctions. They are the body’s intelligence at work – a system refined over millions of years doing exactly what it was designed to do.

The modern medical system takes these intelligent responses and inverts them. Healing gets labeled as disease. The label generates a billing code. The code justifies a prescription. The prescription suppresses the symptom – which is to say, it chemically interrupts the body’s repair process. The underlying cause continues. New symptoms emerge. These receive new labels, new codes, new prescriptions. The child who walked into the clinic with his body intelligently responding to toxic insult walks out as a patient, a customer, whose lifetime value to the pharmaceutical industry runs to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

A child eats processed food saturated with glyphosate, artificial colours, and preservatives for years. His body, doing exactly what it evolved to do, initiates a detoxification response. Mucus production increases to flush irritants. Inflammation rises to repair damaged tissue. A fever develops to accelerate metabolic clearing. His mother, frightened by the symptoms, takes him to the doctor. The doctor delivers a diagnosis: respiratory infection, or allergic rhinitis, or asthma – depending on which symptoms present most prominently and which billing code applies. The diagnosis triggers a prescription. The prescription – an antibiotic, an antihistamine, a steroid, or all three –  suppresses the symptoms. The child feels better, which is to say: his body’s repair mechanisms have been chemically interrupted.

The toxins that provoked the response remain. The underlying damage continues. Weeks or months later, new symptoms emerge. The antibiotics have disrupted his gut microbiome, producing what will be diagnosed as irritable bowel syndrome. The steroids have weakened his immune regulation, producing what will be diagnosed as recurrent infections. The antihistamines have masked an escalating sensitivity that will eventually be diagnosed as severe allergy requiring an EpiPen prescription and lifelong vigilance. Each diagnosis generates treatment. Each treatment generates consequences. Each consequence generates further diagnosis. The child who walked into the clinic with his body intelligently responding to toxic insult walks out as a patient, a customer, whose lifetime value to the pharmaceutical industry runs to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Florence Nightingale understood this over a century ago: “The specific disease doctrine is the grand refuge of weak, uncultured, unstable minds, such as now rule in the medical profession. There are no specific diseases; there are specific disease conditions.”

The symptoms are real. The suffering is real. What is artificial is the conversion of symptoms into seventy thousand named entities – entities that justify intervention, generate revenue, and ensure the patient remains within the system. A cured patient is a lost customer. A managed patient is an annuity. The language of modern medicine reveals the business model: diabetes is managed, hypertension is managed, depression is managed, arthritis is managed. Never cured. Never resolved. Managed. Billed. Renewed.

This is extraction dressed as healthcare – the systematic transfer of wealth from those experiencing the body’s healing responses to those who have learned to interrupt and exploit them. In the United States alone, healthcare spending exceeds four trillion dollars annually, nearly twenty percent of GDP. Seventy-six percent of American adults are now chronically ill. These two figures are not a paradox. They are cause and effect. The spending does not produce health. It produces customers.

But the extraction requires more than simple profit motive. It requires a population that cannot see what is happening to it. It requires explanatory frameworks that redirect attention from the four actual causes of illness toward explanations that demand medical intervention while protecting industrial interests. It requires walls.

The Architecture

Five concentric walls surround every person born into the modern medical extraction system. The first wall – the innermost circle, encountered from the first hours of life – is vaccination: mass poisoning marketed as prevention. The second is allopathic medicine itself, the inversion that suppresses symptoms while ignoring the body’s intelligent healing responses. The third is bacteriology, the confusion of firefighters with firestarters. The fourth is virology and its twin fiction, contagion – neither yet proven despite a century of trying. The fifth wall – the outermost circle, the final barrier to freedom – is genetics: the claim that your DNA is defective, that disease is destiny, that no environmental factor is responsible for your condition and no solution exists except lifelong pharmaceutical management.

Each wall serves the same function: to redirect attention from the four assaults on human health toward explanations that generate dependence on the medical system. Each wall captures a different population. Many who escape one wall remain held by another. Some who refuse vaccines never question their prescriptions. Some who grasp the terrain paradigm still believe viruses spread through populations. Some who reject every pharmaceutical intervention accept a genetic diagnosis without hesitation.

The awakening moves from inside out. Escape the first wall and you still face four more. Escape four walls and the fifth – the outermost, the one disguised as identity – still contains you. The extraction requires only that you accept one wall, any wall, to keep you as a customer. The architecture is designed so that the wall you never question is the wall that holds you.

What follows is a tour of the prison. The key is already in your hand: four causes, not seventy thousand diseases. The body heals; it does not malfunction. Symptoms communicate; they do not attack. Hold that key and each wall becomes visible for what it is – not protection, not science, not identity, but containment.

Jeffrey Epstein: Way More than a Child Trafficker

Posted on February 10, 2026 by kjmaclean

Introduction

Jeffrey Epstein was a pervert who liked having sex with underage girls on his private island (and elsewhere). But Epstein was just one of … thousands? tens of thousands? who engage in the most sickening rituals with children and even babies. As is characteristic of psychopaths, whistleblowers like Cathy O’Brien and Brice Taylor are accused by “authorities” and media of being conspiracy theorists, and/or mentally unstable.

Uh, no. Here is state Rep. Scott Bottoms, running for Colorado governor, asserting that pedophile rings exist inside the Colorado House, Senate, and Governor’s office:

Elizabeth Nickson details some of these crimes against humanity in a recent article.

Both O’Brien and Taylor have written first-hand accounts and they tell the same story. And there is plenty of testimony on the internet by other abused persons who say similar things.

If you can get through the article linked above you will have an idea of what evil is. Evil isn’t a “conspiracy theory.”

Evil must be confronted because, without understanding both Dark and Light, we cannot be truly free. If you do read and digest the above article (or the books), you will be contributing to the cleansing of the collective human psyche.

Evil acts are committed by psychologically twisted people. Fortunately, psychopaths are a very small percentage of the population. Unfortunately, they seem to rise to positions of power and influence.

The human psyche has, and has had throughout history, an indelible stain of psychopathy within it. It’s important that individuals recognize and confront the predatory evil of these people, or it will continue.

We will never have peace on earth unless the Darkness is confronted. The release of the Epstein files has in small part documented a tiny bit of the rituals abuse of children.

It’s all coming out. Millions of people on social media are investigating the filth associated with our so-called “elites.”

However, child abuse is not Jeffrey Epstein’s fault. Epstein was just using an already existing global network of child trafficking. He is a sort of poster boy for thousands of others who routinely do the same thing. Epstein is just one representative of a much larger stain on the collective consciousness of humanity. An ongoing stain.

The two faces of Jeffrey Epstein

There are two faces to Jeffrey Epstein: the pedophile and the genius.

Jeffrey Epstein was far more than a pervert. That aspect of his life obscures his other activities.

In a way, Jeffrey Epstein was a genius. He was active in the construction of the Global Economic Governance digital prison, which I have mentioned in my posts and which Escapekey is documenting. Escapekey calls Epstein the Switchboard – the initiator and hub for the setup of a programmed world financial and social system based around AI. This system has been designed so that no human being has responsibility for any of the actions that result from it. Yet the system is constructed, behind the scenes, to affect every human being, every business, every organization, every transaction, on the planet.

In my opinion, it was created to transfer wealth from the billions to a small group of psychopaths.

The New Financial/Social Order eliminates the necessity for messy things like “democracy” and human intervention, yet it regulates, through its programming, human conduct in a strictly impersonal way. It was designed with distinct goals that the system itself enforces through its programmed regulations and algorithms. In reality it is a proxy for the regulation of planet earth and all the life upon it. It is sick and twisted, created by psychopaths to serve psychopaths.

A brief review of escapekey’s article, with my commentary

The following is a review – with my commentary – of an essay by escapekey, a British researcher who investigates and documents the activities of the so-called “elites” and their Global Governance system. His work is meticulously sourced. He names names and institutions and what they are doing. His essay is titled, “Epstein. The Switchboard Operator.” It describes the second aspect or face of Jeffrey Epstein.

https://open.substack.com/pub/escapekey/p/epstein?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web

In the late 1980s, David Rockefeller personally appointed Jeffrey Epstein to the Board of Rockefeller University. Later, he was also granted admission to the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, and the Institute for International Education. Without any credentials whatsoever.

As escapekey writes, “these are not social clubs.”

“They are how private capital has coordinated with state power since the post-war settlement — the CFR’s founding membership overlapped substantially with the CIA’s first generation. The Trilateral Commission aligned policy across the Western alliance. Rockefeller University provided the scientific credentialing.

What Rockefeller gave Epstein was an institutional passport. When Leon Black, the Apollo Global Management founder who paid Epstein at least $158 million in fees, was asked why he trusted him, he cited the Rockefeller University appointment as validation.

Once Rockefeller vouched, others followed.”

In 2011, billionaire  Les Wexner deeds Jeffrey Epstein his 7-story, 45,000 square foot New York mansion – said to be the largest private residence in the city – for nothing. 

Baron Mandelson – Peter Mandelson, who held several important positions in Britain’s Labor Party government – was in continuous contact with Epstein after Epstein’s conviction for child molesting in 2008. After Labor was kicked out in May 2010, Epstein got him a job at Deutsche Bank.

How did a convicted child molester have the contacts to get a member of the British peerage a job? I don’t believe for a second that David Rockefeller’s approval of Epstein gave him carte blanche to influence the world’s movers and shakers.

The Epstein emails show Mandelson giving Epstein confidential British government information on a number of occasions. Epstein was also advising Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan bank. According to escapekey,

“Epstein received live British government intelligence of direct financial value while operating as router to finance, technology, and intelligence nodes simultaneously. Mandelson received $75,000 in payments from Epstein-linked accounts during this period.

Epstein was also in contact with multiple members of the Rothschild banking dynasty.

“Arienne de Rothschild asked Epstein to arrange meetings with Ehud Barak, confirmed she ‘was meant to see Bill Gates 2 weeks ago’, and requested introductions to Larry Summers – U.S. Treasury Secretary – and Saul Wurman, adding: ‘please let me know what you think is best’”.

How is Epstein “advising” one of the Rothchilds? How does he know Larry Summers? How is Epstein able to arrange meetings between the head of one of the Rothschild banks and the former Prime Minister and Defense Minister of Israel?

In August of 2013 Epstein emails the co-CEO of Kissinger Associates, Henry Kissinger’s geopolitical advisory group. In September he emails Steven Sinofsky, former President of Microsoft’s Windows Division and later a board partner at Andreessen Horowitz. The casual and familiar language he uses with Sinofsky (and other powerful people) indicates to me that he and they are familiar with each other.

In February 2016 Epstein emails Peter Thiel. Thiel is the co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, the surveillance company. His first words to Thiel are, “As you probably know I represent the Rothschilds.” Epstein proposes that Thiel “figure out a way for the bank that has 160 b in mgmt can do something in tech…”

On 28 August 2016, Epstein invites Vitaly Churkin – at the time Russia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations – to dinner: “Don’t know if you have any interest,” the email says. “Ehud Barak and Tom Barrack at house tomorrow. You are always welcome.”

escapekey writes:

“Barrack was Trump’s closest Middle East operative, a billionaire who would chair his inaugural committee and later serve as US Ambassador to Turkey. Barak was the former Israeli Prime Minister and former head of Aman (military intelligence) and Sayeret Matkal (special operations). Churkin was the face of Russian diplomacy at the Security Council; he died suddenly in New York five months later.

I am reminded of that old E. F. Hutton commercial: “When Jeffrey Epstein talks, people listen.”

Another revealing email to Epstein from a Putin intermediary, name and email addy redacted, says, “‘I spoke to Putin. He would be very glad if you were to visit and explain financial markets in the 21st century. Digital currency. derivatives. structured finance.”

In the article, escapekey wonders whether Putin was just another of Epstein’s “clients.”

escapekey writes:

“The subject matter Putin’s intermediary specified — digital currency, derivatives, structured finance — would reappear throughout Epstein’s correspondence. The architecture was not confined to one side of any geopolitical divide.

Three intelligence traditions — American, British, Israeli — plus Russian diplomatic access, routed through one informal node [Epstein] with none of the oversight formal cooperation requires.”

It turns out that Epstein is coordinating a public/private deal with some very important people: the authors/users/beneficiaries of the Global Governance system.

On 9 July 2014, Epstein emailed Lawrence Summers a draft reference letter for Nicole Junkermann, recommending her for admission to the Young Global Leaders program at the World Economic Forum. Fifteen days later Summers replies that he is happy to recommend her.

Summers is apparently taking Epstein’s advice on who should be admitted to the elite network.

Epstein’s address book – his Black Book – has 1,571 names in finance, politics, science, culture, and intelligence. This isn’t just an address book of a socialite – it is the written record of  Epstein’s contacts within the Globalist network. Escapekey writes that Epstein “has clients, not a boss.” I’m not sure I believe that, but if Epstein had a boss, who was it?

Perhaps Epstein is following the directions of what Brice Taylor (a Presidential Model) calls “the Council.” Taylor was directed on multiple occasions to the beds of seven presidents from JFK to Bill Clinton as an MkUltraed mind controlled spy for Henry Kissinger. Taylor was no stranger to international politics: She traveled with Kissinger all over the world, including the famous 1972 trip that opened up Communist China to the West. Taylor claims that the Council is a group of unnamed men who give orders to people like the Rockefellers. I have no reason to doubt this even though it sounds like a wild conspiracy theory. Read Taylor’s book and make up your own mind.

Where is all this heading?

It’s heading toward “the combination of public and private capital flows toward measurable social outcomes, with compliance embedded in the financing structure.” In other words, the new world order and its “measurable social outcomes” will be imposed from above. Your assent isn’t required, only your compliance. In escapekey’s words, “compliance with externally defined social objectives – operating at every scale from sovereign bond issuance down to what an individual can purchase.”

The externally defined social objectives are the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals – written by Globalist bureaucrats and designed by Globalist psychopaths – that provide the definition of ‘social good’ at each level.

Global Governance successfully bypasses your refusal to participate in the economy, because the mechanisms of “social good” are coded in the software.

Digital Currency programming

What will be the new currency of the Global Governance framework?

A programmable digital currency with conditional payment logic linked to “measurable social outcomes.” Conditional payment logic means that if you don’t purchase the “correct” goods or services the transaction will fail.

You could have bought an EV and instead you chose an internal combustion engine car that was cheaper. Naughty girl! You have exceeded your carbon footprint allowance. That transaction will fail because, in the new global financial framework, social directives about what should be bought are programmed into how your transaction is processed – or denied.

Did you buy butter instead of margarine? Naughty boy. Butter comes from cows and cow farts cause global warming and climate change. Transaction denied!

I am exaggerating, but the new financial system is designed to scale. It can embrace entire national economies, down to the level of individual purchases.

The Bank for International Settlements – the head of the institutional snake

The Bank for International Settlements’ BIS Innovations Hub in Switzerland calls this monetary social programming “purpose bound money.” The BIS is the central bank of all central banks, the most important bank in the world, staffed by all the right people. It will oversee the financial system worldwide. The BIS Innovation Hub was established in 2019.

The BIS is the head of the institutional snake for the Global Governance financial system because

“The Bank for International Settlements operates under sovereign immunity. Its archives are inviolable under the 1987 Headquarters Agreement with Switzerland. It is subject to no national freedom of information law, no parliamentary oversight committee, no discovery process in any court. There is no mechanism by which an internal BIS communication could be compelled into public view.”

Flexible design

A digital financial framework could be designed around any measurable social outcome. For example, Islamic nations could program their currency to only accept the financial requirements in Sharia law. This would be a designed Sharia currency.

In addition to purpose bound money for social control and direction of populations, the value of a State-controlled digital currency to our psychopath overlords are formidable.

1) The State currency links directly to all citizens, eliminating the need for a banking system. Complete centralization of all currency and all users. A psychopath’s dream.

2) It allows zero-interest rates, so that government financing could raid private accounts in case of a government financial crunch.

3) Because the State controls all money and cash is banned, 100% tax compliance can easily be enforced.

4) Government policy changes no longer have to be debated in Congress, for a change in Government policy could simply be programmed into the system with a few lines of code. Any transactions that violate the new policy fail to be completed.

5) A cryptocurrency couldn’t keep up with a State sponsored digital currency for large populations. It’s fine for small countries like El Salvador, but as of this writing blockchain currency transaction volume is too low and the time to complete a transaction is too slow for larger countries like the US. Once a State sponsored digital currency is implemented, there  may be no going back.

6) The new programmable currency ensures complete, 100% surveillance of every single transaction in the country. Ideal for keeping an eye on those social misfits who object to gummint policies.

Epstein the Switchboard

Now back to Epstein. On 2 April 2016, Epstein emailed Lawrence Summers – former US Treasury Secretary, former Harvard President, former Chief Economist of the World Bank ­– with a complete technical specification for the new digital currency.

Uh, wait a minute. Epstein is emailing Summers a complete technical specification? Shouldn’t it be the other way around? How is Epstein qualified to design a digital currency?

Summers responds within 75 minutes, He says: ‘Got it. If I can’t get current regime fixed I will fix’. Epstein replies: ‘i will help if you like, it is readily apparent that you have not been asked the right questions. thats the key’

Daddy Epstein is talking to Summers as if he’s a child.

But it fits right in with the Brice Taylor and Cathy O’Brien books. According to both women, who were Presidential Models and had sex with multiple Presidents, even a President is pretty low on the globalist “chain of command,” as it were. I suppose a mere former Treasury Secretary and President of Harvard is below that.

In case you wondered, the “measurable social outcomes” are the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. And, of course, “climate change.”

The details of how these goals are implemented are embedded in the world’s new financial framework.

And who was coordinating the implementation of this shit show?

A convicted sex offender.

This tells you all you need to know about the personality types who are in charge.

Escapekey sums it up: Epstein is the central node of Global Governance. “Nothing moved through the network without passing through him.”

The United Nations weighs in on Global Governance

I will let the 8th graders at the UN tell you why the old financial system must be destroyed and the new Global Governance financial system put in. This nonsense is typical of the gobbledygook and pseudoscience produced by globalist institutions like the UN and the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC):

“The international financial architecture…is failing the test. Designed by and for the industrialized countries of the post-war period, at a time when neither climate risks nor social inequalities, including gender inequality, were considered pre-eminent development challenges, the international financial architecture already had serious structural deficiencies at the time of its conception. These have become increasingly at odds with the reality and the needs of the world today, making the international financial architecture completely unfit for purpose in a world characterized by unrelenting climate change, increasing systemic risks, extreme inequality, entrenched gender bias, highly integrated financial markets vulnerable to  cross-border contamination, and dramatic demographic, technical, economic, and geopolitical changes.

“ The existing [financial] architecture has been unable to support the mobilization of stable and long-term financing at scale for investments needed to combat the climate crisis and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals for the 8 billion in the world today.”

—From  the UN’s “Reforms to the International Financial Architecture,” at https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/our-common-agenda-policy-brief-international-finance-architecture-en.pdf

So now you know! The world’s financial system must be changed because climate change and gender bias. Obviously.

Is Jeffrey Epstein alive?

Curious minds want to know: Is Jeffrey Epstein really dead?

escapekey says this:

“A cooperating Epstein would not have been a peripheral witness exposing one connection. He would have been the routing table documenting itself — every introduction, every strategic instruction, every intelligence flow, every career he sequenced, every deal he blocked, mapped from the only position that saw all of them simultaneously.

Whether he killed himself, was killed, or – as some claim – was moved beyond public reach, the network outcome was identical: the routing table became permanently inaccessible. But it didn’t matter. By 2019, every thread Epstein had been routing was institutionalized.”

In other words, the Global Governance paradigm has already been written into the world’s economic and financial system. It has already been tested in India with its Aadhaar national digital ID card. Aadhaar is a single smart card for identity verification, financial transactions, job applications, and travel. 95% of adults in that country have one. The next step is quietly implementing it in every country.

There’s much more detail in the article and it’s well worth reading all the way through. The more people know about Global Governance, the harder it will be to deploy it.

Final thoughts

It’s all coming out now, folks. The dam is about to burst. Social media and the internet have made it possible for anyone to do their own digging, and lots of people have been digging through the Epstein emails. More revelations are certainly on the way.

What Is Trump’s Plan?

Posted on January 31, 2026 by kjmaclean

Current events roundup

The United States is in the middle of a Color Revolution. For decades our CIA and State Department felt no qualms about overthrowing governments we didn’t like. From Mossadegh in 1953 Iran, to Iraq and Afghanistan half a century later, the wealthy and powerful have been gettin bizzy. Now that karma is coming back to us as our own country is being attacked from multiple sources around the world, and from within.

In my opinion, the entire Democrat Party, and most of the Republicans, are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the corporate-controlled State. Some people call this fascism: an authoritarian government backed by corporate money. Both parties are complicit.

We all know about Trump’s activities. His press is close to 100% negative and it’s been that way for years. But we never hear anything from the mainstream press (except from the idiots on FOX) about Democrats, who talk a lot about “democracy” but act equally as authoritarian as Trump.

In Minnesota, Democrats have used the Somali population (estimated at 80K to 84K by the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey for 2024) as a scapegoat to commit $20 billion in Medicaid fraud. Into what rabbit hole has that money gone? Acting in the guise of defending Somalis, Minnesota politicians cynically pretend to defend the community while allowing them to be blamed for the entire mess.

In California, Democrats are much more up-front about their government grifting and fraud. Alex Berenson reports (Jan 28th) that “California spent the Biden years enrolling illegal migrants into its Medicaid program without any eligibility restrictions except income. Through the state’s Medi-Cal program, Americans now pay almost $10 billion a year to cover healthcare for 1.6 million people who aren’t even legally in California.”

I wonder how many illegals in Cali have signed up to vote?

Let’s say the quiet part out loud: Eight to ten million illegal migrants were brought into this country by the last administration in order to create a huge Democrat voting block. And they are using federal entitlement programs like Medicaid to pay off their new voting base.

Needless to say, fraud and election tampering are antisocial activities.

We may see the results later this year if Democrats clean up and take control of both House and Senate. 

Almost all Republicans are non-entities, except maybe Congressman Massie. Trump is almost the only person in that party with any balls. Republicans are cardboard cutouts who have gradually ceded political power to the Democrats, and the Dems have naturally taken it.

A great example of congressional Republican cowardice is the new election transparency bill unveiled by House Republicans on January 29th. It’s called, childishly, the MEGA Act  (Make Elections Great Again). The proposal would establish nationwide standards for federal elections, including voter identification requirements, citizenship verification measures, changes to mail-in voting rules, and restrictions on ballot harvesting. Trump voters are all for this but guess what: these provisions don’t go into effect until 2027, after the midterm elections!

Congressional Republicans are wimps.

When the Congressional subpoena of Bill and Hillary Clinton was announced on August 5, 2025, the Republicans made sure that it got promoted for a couple of days. The result after that? Nothing. It was all for show. Remember when Congressional Democrats subpoenaed Trump allies Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro? The Dems shouted “No one is above the law!” and made sure those two showed up and were put in prison. That’s power projection.

If the Dems win the House and Senate in 2026, we will see some more power projection in 2027.

Illegal immigration funds the psychotic Mexican drug cartels

BTW, Trump voters are all in favor of deporting illegals, for a very important reason. They understand that you don’t get illegally into the US without paying the vicious drug cartels. Estimates indicate 80–95% of unauthorized crossers use cartel controlled smugglers, per surveys like the Mexican Migration Project and DHS data. Smuggling fees are around $11,000–$12,000 per illegal migrant in Central America, an outrageous sum for a poor migrant from a Third World country.

Grok lists the following cartel smuggling fees:

“Fees Range: Mexican nationals: Often $3,000–$12,000 (e.g., $4,000–$9,000 foot/boat).

Central Americans: $7,000–$17,000 or more.

Others (e.g., Chinese): Up to $45,000–$75,000.

Recent hikes (2024–2025): Up to $18,000–$30,000 due to tighter security and fewer crossings, per Texas DPS and reports.

Cartel Involvement: Cartels control most routes and profit billions (e.g., $13 billion in 2021 estimates from DHS and InSight Crime), often via taxes on smugglers or direct smuggling. Payments fuel other crimes like drug/human trafficking.”

There you have it. Illegal immigration funds the drug cartels, the most viscous gangs of human traffickers, child rapers, weapons and drug smugglers, that are inundating American cities with their drugs and guns. You want to know why there is so much violence in our American cities?  Look no further than the drug cartels.

Moreover, during Biden’s term, “agents at the Southwest border were under orders not to arrest smugglers ferrying migrants entering the United States illegally. Given this, the Biden administration effectively ceded control over immigration policy to those smugglers – or more precisely to Mexico’s criminal cartels.”

One good thing Trump did was to close off this massive wave of illegals, which in turn closed off a large chuck of money to the criminal psychopath cartels.

Does Trump have a problem with his base?

Of course the party in power always loses seats in the off-year elections, but Trump is doing a good job of alienating the base of voters who elected him, perhaps unintentionally.

1) Adoption of new rules concerning 5G cell towers. Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) titled “Build America: Eliminating Barriers to Wireless Deployments” (WT Docket No. 25-276, FCC 25-67), adopted by the FCC on September 30, 2025.

These proposed rules would allow telecom companies to put up 5G towers anywhere they want: even next to schools and in neighborhoods. Trump voters didn’t vote for this.

2) Trump is promoting AI intensely to “win the AI race” with China (whatever that means). People who voted for Trump note that the CCP slave/surveillance state was built by U.S. and Western technology and tech companies. They wonder what that means for the US.  

3) He’s going to build lots of AI data centers, potentially raising electricity prices for anyone who voted for him. Whether tech companies will be forced to build new power plants is not the issue: AI was NOT a big item with Trump voters in 2024.

4) He’s using GenAI.mil to sign up a boatload of new contractors and gen up the military using AI deployment. The Trump base wonders what that is all about, because starting new wars was not on their voting agenda either.

5) At the same time, ICE in Minnesota is doing everything possible to piss off potential Democrat crossover voters across the country.

The November mid-term elections

If the Trump base doesn’t show up in November it will lead to a big Blue wave.  

Yet another impeachment of Trump will occur (this time successful, as Dems will control House and Senate), along with the packing of the Supreme Court. Democratic Party advisor James Carville has already said both are on the party’s agenda come next January. With SCOTUS packed with political activist judges, the last remaining Constitutional check and balance to total Democrat power and a one-party state, will vanish. The next Democrat president will then essentially be a dictator with no opposition: the equivalent of Vladimir Putin in Russia.

If the Dems have their way, European Union style censorship on all speech will come here to the US, continuing the effort the Dems made during Biden’s term to force social media outlets to condemn “incorrect” speech (the terms “misinformation” and “disinformation” were used).

A foreshadowing of what we will likely see after a Blue midterm election sweep occurred in Chicago on January 26th, where a physical education teacher was placed on administrative leave and possible termination after posting two words on Facebook: Go ICE. Local leaders and groups are demanding that he be fired.

This guy is a GYM TEACHER for God’s sake! Apparently, no breath of disagreement must sully the socialist Narrative in Chicago.

In a one-party Blue world, the distinction between democracy and dictatorship will have been erased, under the banner of “banning hate speech.” Hate speech is, of course, whatever the party in power says it is.

On the other hand, Democrats say that Trump is already well on his way to a Trump Dictatorship. I think this is funny, given his low popularity.

I say this not without a little admiration for the Democrats. Despite the utter bankruptcy of their policies, which are and have been since 2016 a childish “If Trump wants it we do the opposite,” they have managed to gain the upper hand. As of Jan 27, 2026, Trump’s approval rating is 14 points lower than his disapproval rating, according to a New York Times summary of several polls.

When the Democrats get power, they like to hold onto it. For example, 90–95% of the Federal bureaucracy are already Democrats, because Dems like to serve in government. And because Barack Obama created the Senior Executive Service, appointing party hacks to hold senior positions of control in the federal bureaucracy. Thus is the Federal workforce of the Executive Branch already aligned in one direction.

In our major universities, the percentage of faculty is overwhelmingly Democrat.

Teachers unions and “public service” unions (government bureaucrats at the federal and state level) are almost 100% Democrat.

The Democrats have largely succeeded, as socialist student activist Rudi Dutschke said in the 1960s, in their “Long March through the institutions.”

Why is Trump promoting AI so heavily?

I think I now understand why Trump is heavily promoting AI. I’m relating this from what I think is Trump’s point of view.

In the first place, promoting AI to “win the AI race with China” is typical Trump trolling. However, he is reminding China that any progress that has been made by the CCP comes from US and Western invention and innovation. That is an undeniable fact. In 1980, China was a backward Third World country. Forty short years later, after U.S. help, China was the world’s second largest economy.

Secondly, he’s telling China that the US is going to wipe the floor with them using AI. 

During his first term Trump saw the incredible corruption in DC. He learned he could do nothing about it by (trying to) fire incompetent bureaucrats or using the DOJ and the courts to charge people. He saw how Biden’s AG, Merrick Garland, had little political success targeting Trump supporters for Jan 6, 2021. That stupidity contributed, I believe, to the Republican sweep in 2024.

When Trump and Musk set up DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) in early 2025 it identified approximately $4.7 trillion in Treasury payments that were missing a critical identification code called the Treasury Account Symbol (TAS). This code links payments to specific budget line items or accounts, enabling traceability. DOGE discovered that the TAS field was optional for these payments and was often left blank, making it “almost impossible” to trace where the money went.

There are words for this: GRIFTING and SCAMMING.

Imagine spending $4.7 trillion dollar s with no accounting! 

When Trump looked at the bloated military procurement process he was appalled. New equipment took years to get built (or not at all) because of crazy cost overruns due to an overstuffed DoD military bureaucracy and lazy defense contractors who stuff their pockets with stock buyback cash.

Trump knew he had to do an end run around the out-of-control federal spending process and the stifling military bureaucracy, so he seized on a whole-of-government approach: Artificial Intelligence. Trump is simply by-passing the arterially clogged civilian and military bureaucracies (the “system”) and insisting that AI make the decisions.

The bureaucracy stays in place, government workers still get their checks, but it is made largely irrelevant.

I have no idea whether this will work, but it’s a brilliant idea from Trump’s point of view.

One thing is for sure: this government is bankrupt using the old system, and it is almost over the financial cliff now. So – out with the old, in with the new.

The problem for Trump is that large sectors of his base don’t understand this. Some see the use of AI everywhere in government as an extension of Global Governance. Some wonder whether Trump is just another Globalist, helping to create a worldwide techno-fascist surveillance state like China right here in the United States.

Trump needs to clarify to his base why he is betting on AI or the Dems will clean up in November.

Trump: Dictator or White Knight?

It is not my intention to blackpill you, dear reader. I still believe that it’s going to turn out all right. Who knows, Trump’s AI play may work to salvage the government’s finances and reduce spending and corruption. If the Dems are right he’s just another Globalist tool, but I think he will turn out to be a White Knight in the end. That’s my hope anyway. (It’s better than the angry, hateful, spiteful, bitter bitching I read every day on Facebook. Reading that crap, you’d think one person was not only responsible for all the world’s problems and the country’s problems, but the personal problems of every individual as well.)

One of the reasons for my optimism is the Truth Social buyout of the a-neutronic fusion company, Tri Alpha Energy. A-neutronic fusion is the generation of unlimited clean energy from plasma, the fourth state of matter. It is the solution to our energy problems, allowing us to bypass the corrupt oil and chemical industries and their inefficiency and pollution of the environment. TAE is siting for its first fusion power plant as I write this.

The TAE buyout is visionary, and a huge step forward for humanity if it comes off.  It’s another end run around an immovable, Establishment source of power.

What is clear to me is that Trump is hell-bent on destroying the old, corrupt, bipartisan “rules-based international order,” which allowed powerful elites to maintain their power and wealth while grinding the rest of us into the dust with endless wars and destructive economic policies. Years ago I declared Trump’s function to be a wrecking ball, destroying the filthy old international structure that is nourished by the dark economy of human trafficking, weapons trafficking, and drugs trafficking. Trump’s intention, I believe, is to make way for a better one.

The Big Picture

I don’t feel sad or depressed. As events unfold my intuition tells me a good outcome is inevitable. Because events are proceeding with such rapidity, and there are so many variables, intellectual analysis of human activity on large scales is impossible. Intuition is the only way now to “analyze” where humanity is headed. Those without intuition and a positive outlook are, unfortunately, beginning to lose their minds.

This trend will continue among those on both sides whose hearts are filled with hate.

Love is the universal solvent.

As my friend Maurice says, “It comes down to Trust and to Feeling, because Feeling is how Higher Energy is received, and we are all capable of doing this for ourselves.”

Yup. Behind the current Chaos is the Light, stirring the drink. My gut feeling and my intuition tell me that the Chaos will resolve in a way that is beneficial to the greatest good for the greatest number.

A rising tide lifts all boats. Some will fall out along the way, screaming and flailing. But we can rescue them, if they are willing.

I’ll leave you with this beautiful tune by Ralph Towner, called “Make Someone Happy.”
