Evan X has made the point for some time that USA controls Israel and will abandon Israel when it is in USA’s interests. It does appear likely that USA is now in the process of discarding Israel and letting the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) become the aggregate hegemon of the Middle East while USA withdraws. USA here actually means the various financial and military groups that control USA, but the basic point is the same. For USA, the next question is: are American Jewish Supremists supporting this or are they being side-swiped? Money and power rule in the world of elite power. It makes sense that Jewish Supremists may back away from Israel, the state, to further their own interests globally and inside USA. If we see a continuing exodus from Israel of wealthy Jews, we may be seeing this plotline playing out. ABN
US President Donald Trump is disappointed with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel Hayom reports, citing two “senior sources close to the president.”
According to the Hebrew-language daily, in closed-door conversations Trump said he was going to make progress on his objectives in the Middle East without waiting for Israel.
On a deal with Saudi Arabia, Trump wants Israel to be a central part of an agreement, but “Netanyahu is delaying making the necessary decisions,” writes Israel Hayom’s Ariel Kahana, who interviewed Trump at Mar-A-Lago last year.
Trump is also still upset with Netanyahu and his circle over what he sees as an attempt to push the White House into military action against Iran’s nuclear program, say the sources.
Israeli officials were caught off guard by Trump’s announcement that the US had reached a ceasefire with the Houthis in Yemen this week, and by the start of US-Iran nuclear talks in April.
The White House is planning to axe thousands jobs at the CIA and other intelligence agencies, officials told members of Congress per The Washington Post.
A person familiar with the plan but not authorized to discuss it publicly also confirmed the changes to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
The administration plans to reduce the CIA workforce by 1,200 over several years, and cut thousands of positions at the National Security Agency and other intelligence agencies.
The Post reported that the reductions at the CIA include several hundred people who have already opted for early retirement.
The rest of the cuts would be achieved partly through reduced hiring and would not likely necessitate layoffs.
‘These moves are part of a holistic strategy to infuse the Agency with renewed energy, provide opportunities for rising leaders to emerge, and better position CIA to deliver on its mission,’ the agency wrote in the statement.
This is going to be interesting. Does Trump have the courage and power to dismantle the Deep State, which most of us believe is centered in or behind or around the CIA and NSA? The whistleblower in this video claims USA has been infiltrated by a ‘powerful international group’, which controls our government — and that is the reason he is going public with his claims. Some say the powerful group is aliens but others say the whistleblower says outright it’s an international group, not interplanetary or interdimensional. The whistleblower looks and sounds credible but who knows if he is just another Deep State mind-control plant, of which there are many. Others believe the powerful group is some form of international Jewry or that Jews are running cover for an even deeper group. It is a remarkable feature of our time that we still have no idea who was running the Biden administration. Nor do we know how much Ratcliffe or Trump knows about who was running Biden’s admin, or who might be controlling them. How Trump’s actions against the CIA and NSA proceed will be very revealing. They may be nothing more than a psyop cover designed to assuage conspiracy theorists like me. Or they may be real moves by a real president who has real power and knows how to use it. ABN
Full video: Trump holds Cabinet meeting at White House
UPDATE: This is long but you can jump ahead. I listened to maybe one-half of it, focusing on what I wanted. It provides a good view of what Trump and his people are doing and why, and how successful they are and expect to be in the future. Much better to listen to them instead of what media says about them; and necessary to do that at least sometimes. I believe Trump is the only president to ever hold cabinet meetings in public. ABN
What people thought America could be – a beacon of democracy – was the last thing it became. In reality, it’s a corporate machine that has given rise to the Transnational Private Sector (TPS).
The TPS is a coalition of corporate giants, led by the Financial-Industrial Complex (FIC) with firms like JPMorgan, Goldman, and BlackRock, alongside the Military-Industrial Complex (MIC), Consumer-Industrial Complex (CIC), and Techno-Industrial Complex (TIC).
This collective force operates beyond borders, transcends nationality, and prioritizes profit over public welfare.
When Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan’s CEO, warned in October 2024 that wars in Ukraine and the Middle East could destabilize the global economy, he wasn’t just forecasting. He was asserting the TPS’s dominance over policy.
To understand this power, you have to examine the game theory driving the TPS’s clash with nations.
This concept that I have developed deliberately sets aside the idea of good, evil, right, or wrong. Geopolitical dynamics are examined through the lens of incentives, power, and measurable outcomes, not moral judgments. The focus is the strategic interplay of actors, stripped of ethical narratives.
___
Game theory provides a framework for understanding geopolitical strategies by analyzing the incentives that drive actors’ decisions.
There are two distinct game types: finite and infinite. Both these games shape global interactions. Finite games are zero-sum with defined endpoints, and clear winners and losers. It’s akin to a corporate quarter where profit maximization is the sole objective.
One player wins, the other loses.
Infinite games, conversely, lack a conclusion, have no end, prioritizing sustained participation through long-term stability, akin to a nation’s multi-generational survival strategy.
UPDATED: All American laws are ultimately pragmatic. This includes SCOTUS rulings on the Constitution as well as district prosecutors deciding how to work a case. Legal pragmatics include ethics and precedents, while also recognizing the urgency of, say, removing millions of illegal immigrants in USA. The legal remedy in this case properly must fit the crime, which was treasonous importation of millions of illegals. Sending a plane-load of violent illegals to El Salvador was a pragmatic decision as it removed some of the worst and also sends a strong message to others of their ilk to get out of the country. It’s a pragmatic application of the law. ‘Legal’ objections to it are absurd in the face of the massive offense (treason) and massive harm (tens of millions of illegals ushered in to USA under Biden). Below is an illustration of the problem. ABN
‘The best way to do it to say they’re lying, here’s the truth’ — Rubio on confronting the EU and UK on their censorship and phony ‘misinformation’ prosecutions. He makes very strong statements about protecting ordinary Americans from censorship at home and abroad. This is Rubio at his best. I hope he keeps going and delivers, which I believe he will. ABN
‘Mainstream newspapers and mainstream media report things as fact that are completely not true. Our approach to that is not to shut them down, not fine them. Our approach is to say they’re lying, here’s the truth.’ — Marco Rubio
I get this sense from what he has done and said as well. He’s smart and will be a great ally if that is what he wants to be. In politics you want smart people who pursue good policies, nothing more or less. ABN
President Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff traveled to St Petersburg (interesting venue), and spent approximately 5 hours in discussion with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his top two advisors. This was Witkoff’s third direct face-to-face meeting with President Putin.
First, President Putin would never give this much time to a non-principal in any geopolitical conversation, unless Putin felt he was directly talking to the principal through the voice in front of him. In essence, Trump has told Putin that Witkoff is his mouth and ears, Putin responds accordingly. When Putin speaks to Witkoff he is speaking to Trump, and when Putin hears from Witkoff he is hearing from Trump.
Following the five-hour meeting with President Putin, Witkoff appears on Fox News so that Sean Hannity can tell Witkoff what his meeting with Putin really means. Hannity is not only insufferable, at this point in time he is best considered a confidential human source, ¹acting on behalf of the CIA who influence him. WATCH:
Within the brief moments provided by Hannity for Witkoff to speak, the envoy of President Trump noted both Putin and Trump understand the core issues and are aligned to solve the problem despite the CIA and SSCI efforts to keep wedging them apart. Additionally, Trump and Putin see a future where geopolitical and economic alignment can be very beneficial for both Russia and the United States; they just need to find a way to navigate the complex politics on the U.S/NATO side of the mess.
President Putin does not want an alignment with Chinese President Xi Jinping, it’s not a natural fit for Russia to be strategically networking with China. Put a simpler way, Putin really doesn’t like Chairman Xi because Russia values brutal honesty in relationships, not the Beijing cunningness, ulterior motives and manipulative self-interest.
President Trump and President Putin can be natural allies. Both leaders have the same basic national security worldview and on an economic front Putin would rather have financial ties to the West than the East.
However, the broader CIA apparatus is not going to give up power or control to President Trump without a fight. Recently the CIA operated rotor wing (helicopter) drones to attack Moscow in order to provoke a useful response from Putin. Despite the efforts of Donald Trump and Marco Rubio, both the CIA and State Dept embeds are operating to maintain their control in Ukraine.
Russia is a major part of the West. There is no other more natural ally to Europe and the collective West than Russia. Putin has always seen it this way. The question is who controls the CIA, thus causing them to work against this alliance. Who started and is prolonging the Ukraine War? Ukraine is what Russia would look like today had Putin not gained control. There is a large component of Jewish Supremacism showing through wide cracks in American and European policies toward Russia. The collective West, minus Russia, clearly wants and has stated many times that they are working to break Russia into a bunch of small nations that can be easily controlled. The deepest question is who controls the collective West, which probably means who controls the CIA? Does Trump know? I doubt it. Are Jewish Supremacists in control of the CIA? Do they themselves even know? The puzzle of who has ultimate control within a top secret and extremely powerful organization (the CIA) illustrates that even the most powerful people in the world may not, and probably do not, know who is at the top. In fact, even the top person may not be sure he is at the top. This is the basis of KOBK game theory, which is always the bottom line of world history. As for Jewish Supremists: if they are the top controllers within the CIA and thus the collective West, why are they so obstreperous about it? Are they neurotic hegemons of the world or are they ‘mere’ nervous fronts for the real hegemon we cannot see? ABN
Everything we see unfolding, from the Tech Bro alignment with Trump, to the network of influence after the election, to the selection and advisement of specific individuals to join the administration, all the way to the first-round expose’ of USAID, should be looked upon with a background forecast.
(1) gaining access to govt data was the goal; (2) monetizing the system with proprietary AI contracts (vis-a-vis Palantir) is the benefit; (3) however, a national security justified surveillance state is going to be the outcome.
As people are shocked at the USAID spending scandal unfolding, I would posit the USAID silo was chosen first for DOGE exploration specifically because the subsequent outrage would gain the highest amount of public support for the pending solution. It’s the pending solution to the crisis that we should be very focused on.
Their solution will never be about US, it will always be about THEM; what’s in their best interests. That’s their focus, not us, them.
Failing to STOP after crisis in the past always ended up with acceptance of their solution. Now we take off our shoes at the airport, go through body scans, accept pat-downs, wear masks, accept sketchy vaccines, click yes on 5,000-word terms of service for privacy statements we never read, align ourselves with Real ID, and generally accept the all-encompassing surveillance state; none of which is grounded upon liberty or freedom. It’s all based on govt control.
Yes, as poked by Musk the govt is in crisis, and just as sure as you are reading this the administrators within govt already have the solution ready to roll.
“We will use advanced technology and non-partisan AI programming, to make the government more efficient and ensure this level of corruption and wasteful spending never happens again.” That’s the selling point.
Every dollar will be tracked, monitored and oversight will be transparent and available for everyone to see. Just ignore the part where the same efficiency system is monitoring your real ID, connecting your personage to the new govt and private sector interfaces, and click “I agree” on your next federal tax filing.
Trust us Comrade citizen, the new technologically advanced DODGE approved govt system cares about responsible stewardship and you. Swear.”
I honestly do not see any way out of this. The tech is too powerful and easy to implement. The dystopian side of this is a horror show. The utopian side might be good, even very good — no crime, smooth bureaucracy, better information everywhere. It looks like a reverse-Q plot. Robots doing all the work. Some hope may be higher IQs through digital babies leading to elites becoming bored with cruelty. Having total verifiable control of everyone is the ultimate KOBK move. KOBK has always ruled the earth. There is no reason to believe it will stop now. Can the same tech further evolved produce a wise hegemon, a benevolent dictator? ABN
