Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:
pudu
noun
small Chilean deer
either of two species of very small deer (Pudu mephistophiles or P. puda) native to South America, having a stocky reddish-brown body and short, unbranched antlers in the male
A very small deer (Pudua humilis), native of the Chilian Andes, having simple, spike-like antlers only two or three inches long
Used in a sentence
The chevrotains (mouse-deer; Tragulidae) are smaller than the pudu, but they are not true deer.

I had written the rough draft of this post before I saw this. As usual Jeff Childers gets it!
Sept 6th — Speaker Johnson lets slip that President Trump may have been an FBI informant helping nail Epstein, threatening Democrats’ midterm political strategy… If Trump really was a formal FBI informant, there’s an official paper trail…Which raises an awful possibility for Democrats: what if he can prove it?
I understand the rage of people who want to see Epstein’s clients brought to justice. (I was raped at work.) However we need to step back and really LOOK at the situation. I agree with POTUS Trump. It is another Russia,Russia, Russia.
…When the “note” first appeared after a DOJ “leak,” Trump posted, “The supposed letter they printed by President Trump to Epstein was a FAKE.” He has hinted that Biden’s DOJ put a lot of “garbage” in the Epstein file. President Trump also sued the Wall Street Journal silly over the story, which would be a strange bit of brinksmanship if he knew the note was legit….
…Oddly enough, one of the few individuals willing to publicly defend the Duke lacrosse players was Stephen Miller. Yes, that Stephen Miller, the founder of America First Legal who will serve as deputy chief of staff for policy in Trump’s second term. He wrote conservative columns for the Duke student newspaper at the time and was invited on national news shows to give his perspective on the case. During an interview with noted crime commentator Nancy Grace after the first two arrests were made, Miller said, “I think I speak for many students when I say we’re very, very concerned that two innocent people, possibly, just had their lives ruined.” Grace gasped in horror at the assertion. Miller was invited back on several programs after the rape charges were dropped to take a well-deserved victory lap; he accused lacrosse team haters of pursuing a “political agenda” over the truth.
The rape charges were dropped after a series of unfortunate events for the bloodthirsty district attorney, Mike Nifong. One indicted player had evidence to corroborate an alibi that he wasn’t at the party…
This sort of smear job is standard practice for the D-Rats. First they tried Stormy Daniels and then E. Jean Carroll. Carroll did not make the same mistake Crystal Mangum did. When Carroll accused POTUS Trump, she never gave specific times and dates that could be refuted and picked Trump hating NYC to bring her case.
To put it bluntly the Epstein case is OLD and STALE making solid cases from the information quite difficult without corroborating evidence. I do not count other witnesses as evidence for reasons that will become clear below.
Unfortunately evidence held by the FBI, especially the NYC FBI, I would consider suspect given their track record of covering up for the Deep State and especially for the Clintons.
NYPD sources said these new emails include evidence linking Clinton herself and associates to:
• Money laundering
• Child exploitation
• Sex crimes with minors (children)…
NYPD detectives and a [sic] NYPD Chief, the department’s highest rank under Commissioner, said openly that if the FBI and Justice Department fail to garner timely indictments against Clinton and co- conspirators, NYPD will go public with the damaging emails now in the hands of FBI Director James Comey and many FBI field offices.
“What’s in the emails is staggering and as a father, it turned my stomach,” the NYPD Chief said. “There is not going to be any Houdini-like escape from what we found. We have copies of everything. We will ship them to Wikileaks or I will personally hold my own press conference if it comes to that.”…. [And so they died. -GC]
Article also includes 46 names from the Clinton Body count.
The CIA videotaped the interrogation of 9/11 suspects, falselytold the 9/11 Commission that there were no videotapes or other records of the interrogations… The tape of interviews of air traffic controllers on-duty on 9/11 was intentionally destroyed by crushing the cassette by hand, cutting the tape into little pieces, and then dropping the pieces in different trash cans around the building as shown by this NY Times article (summary version is free; full version is pay-per-view) and by this article from the Chicago Sun-Times….
The former head of fire science and engineering for the agency responsible for finding out why the Twin Towers and World Trade Center 7 collapsed on 9/11 (the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology) – who is one of the world’s leading fire science researchers and safety engineers, with a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering –wrote that evidence necessary to determine the cause of the collapse of the World Trade Centers was being destroyed….
Las Vegas Massacre
OT covered this topic extensively. I think it was Wolfie that mentioned victims that were organizing to bring out the facts about other shooters ended up dead. Also IIRC the site was quickly bulldozed to prevent analyzing the bullet paths. Those paths would be clear evidence of multiple shooters. Later we learned the Maui Police Chief, John Pelletier, was the incident commander during the Las Vegas massacre.
The DA insider said Aaron Rouse who heads the FBI in Las Vegas reports directly to FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabewho is running point on the Las Vegas shooting probe. Rouse, who for years worked under McCabe in the Bureau’s Counterintelligence Division in D.C., was appointed to the Las Vegas post by ex-FBI director James Comey in 2016.
According to the Las Vegas source, Rouse’s FBI has discounted most of the intelligence and evidence found by investigators outside the bureau, including LVMPD as well as solid evidence pinpointed by investigators working with the county DA’s office.
Some of this evidence deals with forensic proof that a second shooter may have opened fire on the concert goers, the law enforcement source said.
Paddock, the DA insider said, was firing rounds from approximately 400 yards away from the concert from the 32nd floor on Mandalay Bay. The law enforcement source said investigators turned over proof to the FBI that a second shooter was firing from inside a perimeter of approximately 215 yards... Truepundit.com reported: “It’s a movie script that was written after the shooting to rewrite what really happened,” one FBI agent said. “The investigation is an entirely different story that we are not allowed to talk about. If we do and get caught, we get fired and probably charged (criminally)…
So the FBI, especially the NYC FBI, has a history of LYING and DESTROYING EVIDENCE in order to protect the Clintons and other Elites. This is the SAME FBI that was in charge of the Epstein Files for over four years.
Aubergine mentioned information captured by NSA. Given the solid control the Deep State had for years over the US government, I would not bank on the critical files being captured and stored. Remember the Comey and Corney slight of hand? I think that is the tip of a vast iceberg when it comes to hiding sensitive government records from the Public.

A quick look at the destruction of some of the Epstein material.
The structure, referred to informally as a “temple,” was not built even remotely like the music pavilion plans submitted to the U.S. Virgin Islands Department of Planning and Resources, NBC reported Thursday. Flanked by gold-painted statues, the mysterious building has inspired conspiracy theories.
Notably, the door to the building seems to lock from the outside.
“It’s styled like what you might see on a castle, with what appears to be a reinforcing lock bar across the face,” contractor James Booth told Business Insider. “What makes it peculiar is that if you wanted to keep people out, the bar would be placed inside the building, [but the] locking bar appears to be placed on the outside … as if it were intended to lock people in.”
This is not the only time Epstein has defied the U.S. Virgin Islands Department of Planning and Resources. The department issued, and workers ignored, a stop-work order on the construction of an amphitheater and “underwater office and pool” on Big St. James, according tothe New York Post...
Strange Things Are Happening on Epstein Island: Drone Footage
Recent drone footage of Little Saint James reveals strange activity and telling facts about the Jeffrey Epstein investigation since his death. As expected, everything points towards a massive cover-up. Here are the most revealing images captured by drones in the past weeks.
Considering the fact that Litte Saint James was the site of heinous crimes involving powerful people, one would expect the island to be treated like a crime scene that is completely closed off to non-investigators. That is not what is happening.
After a crime scene has been discovered, it is important that measures are taken to secure and protect the scene from contamination. In order to maintain the integrity of the scene, law enforcement must take action to block off the surrounding area as well as keep track of who comes in and goes out. By taking these precautions, officers can ensure that evidence that is collected can be used in court. Evidence that has become contaminated, tampered with, or mistreated can pollute the scene and cause a case to be thrown out of court. – Wikipedia, Crime Scene
Two weeks prior to the FBI raids on Epstein Island, a drone filmed a team of workers doing heavy construction work on the island using tractors, bulldozers and tons of new material.
This footage was filmed on July 30th, 10 days before Epstein’s death and 12 days before the FBI raids. We can see construction workers, heavy machinery and bags of material, possibly concrete
In July, the ambulance was parked on the roof of a building.
A few weeks later, the ambulance was moved to a different spot.
After Epstein’s death and after the FBI raids, the island was still bustling with activity….
We have newly unsealed documents – including the depositions of Ghislaine Maxwell and one of her victims – revealing new details on the extent of the abuse and victimization that took place by Jeffrey Epstein. Those filings come from Giuffre v. Maxwell, a civil case filed against Maxwell in 2015 in the New York Southern District.
Some of the broader allegations have already been made public. Sarah Ransome, who accused Epstein and Maxwell of abuse that took place during her early 20s, settled a civil lawsuit against them in 2018. Ransome has publicly described some of the abuse. And there have been reports on what transpired at Little St. James, often referred to as Epstein Island…
Let’s get to the new details, starting with the testimony of Ransome, available here. She actually lived one of Epstein’s apartments in 2006 with a few other girls. During that time, she worked for what she described as an “agency” which arranged paid dinners with wealthy clients: “I was paid to spend dinner with a gentleman.” Whatever happened after dinner with the client was done on her “own accord” and “after that time period had finished.”….
She said her car had been hit by a school bus travelling at over 60mph and the accident had left her with kidney failure.
The photograph showed discoloration to Giuffre’s face and chest which has been described as severe bruising.
In the post after the crash, she expressed that she was ready to die.
‘I’ve gone into kidney renal failure, they’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology,’ she said.
‘I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time.’….
Daily Mail Australia subsequently spoke to the bus driver and multiple eye witnesses to the crash who confirmed it was a ‘minor bump.’
It was also revealed that Giuffre had been listed to face court ten days before the crash over the alleged breach of the family violence restraining order….
Investor and entrepreneur Stephen Deckoff bought Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘Pedophile Island’ as part of a $60m deal and plans to build a luxury resort.
In the aftermath of Epstein’s death, it was listed for sale for $125 million in 2021. In May 2023, it was sold to billionaire Stephen Deckoff who vowed to turn it into a luxury resort by 2025. Deckoff is reported to have paid around $60 million for the property as well as for Great St. James. Epstein’s estate has said that any money generated from the sale of his properties would be used to settle lawsuits…. [Has video and photos.]
So there goes any chance of actually recovering any more evidence from that island.
STEPHEN DECKOFF
My curiosity bump got the better of me. Forbes: Stephen Deckoff
StephenDeckoff founded Black Diamond Capital Management, which manages $10 billion in assets.
[“We are a leader in mobile connectivity, satellite TV, content, and network management, delivering multi-orbit, multi-channel hybrid connectivity solutions to an expanding worldwide subscriber base of commercial and leisure vessels along with land mobility and commercial applications.” – LINK]
Stephen H. Deckoff was elected to the KVH Board of Directors in June 2023.
From February 2023 to June 2023, Mr. Deckoff was an observer on the KVH Board. Mr. Deckoff has been the managing principal of Black Diamond Capital Management, L.L.C. (“Black Diamond”), a privately held alternative asset management firm, since its founding in 1995. In that capacity, he is responsible for all portfolio management and business operations. Prior to 1995, Mr. Deckoff was a senior vice president of Kidder, Peabody & Co. Inc. (“Kidder”) and head of its Structured Finance Group. Prior to joining Kidder, Mr. Deckoff was a managing director in the Structured Finance Group at Bear Stearns & Co., Inc. (“Bear Stearns”). Before joining Bear Stearns, Mr. Deckoff worked in the Structured Finance Department of Chemical Securities, Inc. and the Fixed Income Research Department at Drexel Burnham Lambert. Mr. Deckoff has held or currently holds board seats for a number of Black Diamond portfolio companies, including Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc., ION Media, Werner Ladder, White Birch, and Bayou Steel, among others, and he has held a board seat at Pacific National Bank, N.A., a privately chartered bank headquartered in Miami, since 2014.
Wolfie mentioned finding bones of victims. Maxwell had a submarine and a helicopter as well as the licenses to use them, so I imagine any bodies ended up as shark food. Any blood or other evidence has long since been destroyed.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
GLORIA ALLRED
Duchess brought this X-22 report that has a lot of key information about the Epstein mess.
IMHO the information about Gloria Allred is the most important and the reason I would not trust the accusations of a survivor even if backed up by a second woman.
Gloria Allred is representing Epstein victims.
Gloria Allred is Lisa Bloom’s mother.
Lisa Bloom got caught offering $750K for women to accuse Trump of sexual assault.
Lisa Bloom paid off a woman’s mortgage if she would accuse Trump of sexual assault.
BREAKING: DOJ Deputy Chief Admits Government Will “Redact Every Republican” While “Leav[ing] All the Liberal, Democratic People” on the Epstein Client List; Says Ghislaine Maxwell Was Moved to a Lower-Security Prison As “A Benefit… to Keep Her Mouth Shut”
So let’s hope the D-Rats do not have anything nastier up their sleeves and some CLEAN USABLE evidence from the Epstein mess can be salvaged. If nothing else, the DOJ gets a list of names to use as a starting point. And NO, unless the person is indicted I do not want to see specific names especially with Gloria Allred involved.

And then there is this comment on the page…..
I’m a Christian born in a Muslim country. My family migrated to the west when I was 9 years old, we did not want leave but we knew ultimately that one day we would be either killed or kicked out so we decided to leave before that happened. A few years later, the Islamic terrorists started bombing churches. They kidnapped my mums cousin who is a priest. Tortured him for days, pulled his teeth out and eventually by GODs grace he was let go. I met a man whose son was killed in a church that was attacked by Islamic terrorists. This man lives with so much pain every day. He remembers his son every single day. His wife and daughter were almost killed too but his son heroically covered them with his body when the terrorists tried to kill them. Thank GOD they were miraculously spared. My mums brother who’s an engineer was kidnapped twice by terrorists and asked for a large sum of money for his life. Mum was living a nightmare. She couldn’t sleep or eat. I was young and didn’t understand what had happened. Later on I was told. You know the horror and terror we live under everyday just because we are Christian trying to survive in a Muslim country. This young lady doesn’t understand anything. Islam is a problem. It’s a death cult. Please read the quran, the life of Muhammad and the hadiths. They are shocking to say the least. I pray and hope that people like her wake up. Because before you know it, you will find yourself living under Sharia law. Thank you for bringing this to people’s attention. I pray they listen.

The Deep State Cabal is YUGE and multinational. Their goal is enslavement of the entire human race.

Jeff Childers does a nice summation of the current situation.
To say that London is the world’s globalization headquarters is like saying the Mouse lives at Disney World. London has been the velvet-gloved epicenter of globalism ever since the East India Company shipped spices and opium on the same manifest. London’s financial class didn’t just benefit from globalization— they practically wrote the instruction manual. For them to start hand-wringing now about “mass immigration” and “no benefits from free trade” is a sign the ground is shaking beneath the WEF cathedral…
As Congressman McFadden in his Remarks to Congress in 1934 stated, the Federal Reserve Bankers financed the Bolshevik Revolution in order to destroy Russia.
“You must understand. The leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. The October Revolution was not what you call in America the “Russian Revolution.” It was an invasion and conquest over the Russian people. More of my countrymen suffered horrific crimes at their bloodstained hands than any people or nation ever suffered in the entirety of human history. It cannot be understated. Bolshevism was the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant of this reality is proof that the global media itself is in the hands of the perpetrators .” – Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Boy, the Cabal certainly holds a grudge! First they kill the Tsar, then they destroy the country killing off the Tsar’s entire family while they are at it, just because the Tsar interfered with the cabal’s plans to re-enslave the USA.

The result of Reagan’s 1980’s leveraged buyout feeding frenzy is it allowed the Transnational Financiers to GUT American industry.
Of mergers and acquisitions each costing $1 million or more, there were just 10 in 1970; in 1980, there were 94; in 1986, there were 346. A third of such deals in the 1980’s were hostile. The 1980’s also saw a wave of giant leveraged buyouts.
Mergers, acquisitions and L.B.O.’s, which had accounted for less than 5 percent of the profits of Wall Street brokerage houses in 1978, ballooned into an estimated 50 percent of profits by 1988...
THROUGH ALL THIS, THE HISTORIC RELATIONSHIP between product and paper has been turned upside down.Investment bankers no longer think of themselves as working for the corporations with which they do business. These days, corporations seem to exist for the investment bankers…. In fact,investment banks are replacing the publicly held industrial corporations as the largest and most powerful economic institutions in America.…
THERE ARE SIGNS THAT A VICIOUS spiral has begun, as each corporate player seeks to improve its standard of living at the expense of another’s. Corporate raiders transfer to themselves, and other shareholders, part of the income of employees by forcing the latter to agree to lower wages.
This NYT article was prophetic. The October 26, 2011 paper The Network of Global Corporate Control shows the financiers like Vanguard, Fidelity & Blackrock captured control of the transnational corporations.
A former insider at the World Bank, ex-Senior Counsel Karen Hudes, says the global financial system is dominated by a small group of corrupt, power-hungry figures centered around the privately owned U.S. Federal Reserve. The network has seized control of the media to cover up its crimes, too, she explained. In an interview with The New American, Hudes said that when she tried to blow the whistle on multiple problems at the World Bank, she was fired for her efforts. Now, along with a network of fellow whistleblowers, Hudes is determined to expose and end the corruption. And she is confident of success.
Citing an explosive 2011 Swiss study (1) published in the PLOS ONE journal on the “network of global corporate control,” Hudes pointed out that a small group of entities — mostly financial institutions and especially central banks — exert a massive amount of influence over the international economy from behind the scenes. “What is really going on is that the world’s resources are being dominated by this group,” she explained, adding that the “corrupt power grabbers” have managed to dominate the media as well. “They’re being allowed to do it.”
According to the peer-reviewed paper, which presented the first global investigation of ownership architecture in the international economy, transnational corporations form a “giant bow-tie structure.” A large portion of control, meanwhile, “flows to a small tightly-knit core of financial institutions.” The researchers described the core as an “economic ‘super-entity’” that raises important issues for policymakers and researchers. Of course, the implications are enormous for citizens as well.
Hudes, an attorney who spent some two decades working in the World Bank’s legal department, has observed the machinations of the network up close. “I realized we were now dealing with something known as state capture, which is where the institutions of government are co-opted by the group that’s corrupt,”
The capture of the large corporations was just one aspect of the globalist cartel’s plan. Capture of whole nations for their raw materials and cheap (slave) labor was another.
Structural Adjustment Policies are economic policies which countries must follow in order to qualify for new World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) loans and help them make debt repayments on the older debts owed to commercial banks, governments and the World Bank. Although SAPs are designed for individual countries but have common guiding principles and features which include export-led growth;privatisation and liberalisation; and the efficiency of the free market.
SAPs often result in deep cuts in programmes like education, health and social care…
By devaluing the currency and simultaneously removing price controls, the immediate effect of a SAP is… that riots are a frequent result. LINK
Those riots are probably the reason the CIA, via the Office of Public Safety, was training the police forces of those countries in terrorism tactics.
With the 1944 Bretton Woods Agreement member countries had accepted the obligation to treat gold, the dollar and the pound alike. When President Nixon took the dollar off the gold standard, that meant third world countries could argue that the IMF’s reason for existence evaporated. Thanks to the Oil Crisis, the problem for big banks like Chase Manhattan, Citicorp and Bank of America were two-fold: Third world countries defaulting on their loans and no one credit worthy in the USA to lend to.
A former respected member of international banking, John Perkins, said in “Confessions of anEconomic Hit Man” and interviews, the American banks and IMF solved both of these problems by having the IMF lend countries the money to pay off the American bank loans.
JOHN PERKINS:Basically what we were trained to do and what our job is to do is to build up the American empire. To bring – to create situations where as many resources as possible flow into this country, to our corporations, and our government, and in fact we’ve been very successful. We’ve built the largest empire in the history of the world. It’s been done over the last 50 years since World War II with very little military might, actually. It’s only in rare instances like Iraq where the military comes in as a last resort. This empire, unlike any other in the history of the world, has been built primarily through economic manipulation, through cheating, through fraud, through seducing people into our way of life, through the economic hit men. I was very much a part of that….
Q. How closely did you work with the World Bank?
JOHN PERKINS:Very, very closely with the World Bank. The World Bank provides most of the money that’s used by economic hit men, it and the I.M.F.
John Perkins states he was initially recruited by the National Security Agency, a US Government agency. I contend these were not from our legitimate government elected by the US citizens but traitors representing banking interests. ..
“The book was to be dedicated to the presidents of two countries, men who had been his clients whom I respected and thought of as kindred spirits – Jaime Rolds, president of Ecuador, and Omar Torrijos, president of Panama. Both had just died in fiery crashes.Their deaths were not accidental.They were assassinated because they opposed that fraternity of corporate, government, and banking heads whose goal is global empire. We Economic Hit Men failed to bring Rolds and Torrijos around, and the other type of hit men, the CIA-sanctioned jackals who were always right behind us, stepped in.”
Perkins: The “ fraternity of corporate, government, and banking heads whose goal is global empire” is certainly not representing the American people, but a cartel intent on a worldwide empire.
When he mentions the CIA, he sure sounds like he is talking about Operation Gladio doesn’t he?
Davison L. Budhoo (died 2001) was a Grenadian economist and International Monetary Fund senior official and whistleblower.[1] In 1988, he publicly released a 100-page letter of resignation from the IMF which detailed the IMF’s extensive, deliberate fraud and predatory practices which, in his words, was on a mission to “make the Third World a new bastion of free wheeling capitalism” and for the global South to be “‘privatised’ or die”[2] in what he describes as a “genocide of Third World peoples under the on-going, creditor-oriented, international debt strategy”.[3] The letter is collected in the 1990 book Enough is Enough.
Mr. Budhoo’s Bombshell: A people’s alternative to Structural Adjustment
“Today I resigned from the staff of the International Monetary Fund after over 12 years, and after 1000 days of official fund work in the field, hawking your medicine and your bag of tricks to governments and to peoples in Latin America and the Caribbean and Africa. To me, resignation is a priceless liberation, for with it I have taken the first big step to that place where I may hope to wash my hands of what in my mind’s eye is the blood of millions of poor and starving peoples. Mr. Camdessus, the blood is so much, you know, it runs in rivers. It dries up too; it cakes all over me; sometimes I feel that there is not enough soap in the whole world to cleanse me from the things that I did do in your name and in the name of your predecessors, and under your official seal…..”
…The report is both a disappointment and a failure. Everyone was expecting the Bank to provide new and solid on-the-ground data about these “large scale land acquisitions”, to use their terminology, that have created so much controversy since 2008. After all, the Bank should have access to governments and corporations in a way that journalists and non government organisation (NGO) researchers never would. The Bank itself says this was its central ambition. But there is hardly anything new in the whole 160-plus page document. The Bank said it was going to look concretely at 30 countries, but it only looked at 14. As it turns out, companies refused to share information about their farmland investments, as did governments providing the lands. So the Bank turned instead to farmlandgrab.org, a website run by GRAIN, made a database of all the deals that the media reported on there, and then sent out teams of consultants to see if they were real or not.2 Is this the best that the World Bank could do?
…Yes, there is an “enormous” farmland grab going on around the world ever since the 2008 food and financial crises and it shows no signs of abating. The Bank says that the 463 projects it tallied from farmlandgrab.org between October 2008 and June 2009 cover at least 46.6 million hectares of land and that the majority of these are in sub-Saharan Africa. Field reports validated that 21% of these projects are “in operation”….
The Bank’s findings also corroborate what others have been saying about the impacts of these land grabs. … it finds that the investments are giving almost zero back to affected communities in terms of jobs or compensation, to say nothing of food security…
Weighing up exactly who is involved and for what purpose, without the fantasies attached, would have been most useful. …the Bank shared some data of this nature when it identified for the Global Donor Platform the top countries targeted by these land grab deals and the top countries of origin of the investors between 2008 and 2009 (see Table 1). But in its final report, the Bank chose not to name names, forcing everyone to speculate why….
Another matter that the report is silent about is the World Bank’s own neck-deep involvement in these deals…..
In the 1920s, the influential American intellectual Walter Lippman argued that the average person was incapable of seeing or understanding the world clearly and needed to be guided by experts behind the social curtain. In a number of books he laid out the theoretical foundations for the practical work of Edward Bernays, who developed “public relations” (aka propaganda) to carry out this task for the ruling elites. Bernays had honed his skills while working as a propagandist for the United States during World War I, and after the war he set himself up as a public relations counselor in New York City.
There is a fascinating exchange at the beginning of Adam Curtis’s documentary, The Century of Self, where Bernays, then nearly 100 years old but still very sharp, reveals his manipulative mindset and that of so many of those who have followed in his wake. He says the reason he couldn’t call his new business “propaganda” was because the Germans had given propaganda a “bad name,” and so he came up with the euphemism “public relations.” He then adds that “if you could use it [i.e. propaganda] for war, you certainly could use it for peace.” Of course, he never used PR for peace but just to manipulate public opinion (he helped engineer the CIA coup against the democratically elected Arbenz government in Guatemala in 1954 with fake news broadcasts). He says “the Germans gave propaganda a bad name,” not Bernays and the United States with their vast campaign of lies, mainly aimed at the American people to get their support for going to a war they opposed (think weapons of mass destruction). He sounds proud of his war propaganda work that resounded to his credit since it led to support for the “war to end all wars” and subsequently to a hit movie about WWI , Yankee Doodle Dandy, made in 1942 to promote another war, since the first one somehow didn’t achieve its lofty goal….
Michael Hoffman’s “Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare” reveals a truth both ancient and urgently contemporary: we live inside an elaborate magical ritual disguised as modern society. While most of us navigate our days believing we’re making rational choices in a scientific world, Hoffman exposes how a hidden network of occult practitioners has transformed civilization itself into a massive theater of psychological operations. The cryptocracy, as Hoffman names this shadow government, orchestrates events from assassinations to mass shootings not merely for their immediate effects, but as acts of ritual programming designed to traumatize and reprogram our collective consciousness. These aren’t random acts of violence but carefully crafted symbolic events that communicate to both initiates and the subconscious minds of the general public. Like the menticide described inJoost Meerloo’s “The Rape of the Mind,” these operations represent “a killing of the mind” – but Hoffman goes further, revealing how this mental murder serves distinctly occult objectives rooted in traditions stretching back to John Dee, the Rosicrucians, and the ancient mystery schools that never truly disappeared.
Hoffman’s genius lies in decoding what he terms “twilight language” – the symbolic communication system through which the cryptocracy programs mass consciousness while hiding in plain sight. As David Hughes observes in his analysis of the “Omniwar,”we’re experiencing an invisible war where “everything will be weaponized” including the very words we use. This connects directly to what William Sargant documented in “Battle for the Mind“: repetition and symbolic manipulation can fundamentally alter human consciousness. Jason Christoff reinforces this understanding, noting that “85% of controlling anybody is what they see on a repetitive basis.” The cryptocracy doesn’t hide anymore – instead, they practice what Hoffman calls the “Revelation of the Method,” openly revealing their crimes knowing that a properly conditioned population will remain passive. This technique appears throughout history, from the Jack the Ripper murders (which Hoffman reveals as a high-level masonic ritual) to modern mass shootings timed to coincide with specific symbols and dates. As Mark Mirabello’s research on secret societies confirms, these groups use “double blind” strategies where truth is revealed precisely because the public won’t believe it.
Understanding Hoffman’s work becomes essential for anyone seeking to break free from what he calls the “Revelation of the Method” – the psychological trap where knowing about our manipulation actually deepens it. The electronic media that surrounds us isn’t just entertainment or information; it’s what Hoffman identifies as sophisticated mind control technology that programs us while we believe we’re being informed. This aligns with insights from multiple researchers: Christoff’s understanding that “poisoned animals don’t need less support, they need more,” making them easier to control; Hughes’ warning about the technocratic control grid being constructed around us; and the historical patterns of manipulation documented by Mirabello dating back to ancient Egypt. Hoffman offers hope through traditional values and natural law – maintaining connection to print culture, natural rhythms, and authentic human relationships….
I get into the details I have learn about the CIA here:
Joe Biden never won. This is our Real President – 45, 46, 47.
