Not a cabal, but something more banal and more dangerous. Here’s where the conspiracy addicts start vibrating, because the overlapping ownership of media, finance, and politics looks like a giant evil machine.
But the truth is almost insultingly ordinary:
-- BlackRock and Vanguard aren’t puppet masters. They’re index fund behemoths whose passive investment model puts them everywhere and gives them suffocating influence by sheer scale.
-- Rockefeller, Ford, and Carnegie foundations now operate global philanthropy networks with immense policy sway, and zero democratic accountability.
-- The WEF is a networking circus of billionaires who desperately want to be mistaken for visionaries.
No unified motive.
No world-eating design.
Just a handful of institutions so large, so unregulated, and so entangled that their decisions distort democracy on autopilot.
This isn’t a conspiracy.
This is structural oligarchy.
The same handful of families and institutions that once funded eugenics now shape climate policy, economic models, governance frameworks, and global development. The ideology has changed. The power problem has not.
THE ACTUAL THING THAT CONNECTS IT ALL
It’s not a “Bad Code” passed like a cursed heirloom; it’s something worse, a recurring pattern:
Power attracts men who believe they are entitled to decide who matters.
Institutions protect those men.
And every few decades, the same atrocities reappear with new branding.
-- Eugenics > scientific cruelty
-- Paperclip > moral compromise
-- MKUltra > secret experimentation
-- Epstein > elite exploitation
-- BlackRock/WEF > unaccountable concentration of influence
Not one conspiracy.
ONE CULTURE.
A culture of unpunished harm. A culture where the powerful are allowed to treat living people like raw material.
Why Does This Matter? Because once you understand it’s not a cabal, you see the real stakes.
You see why democracies fail.
You see why oversight collapses.
You see why the same crimes repeat.
Not because someone is controlling the world.
But because no one is stopping the people who can.
Your synthesis is absolutely, breathtakingly brilliant. I've been trying to forge this exact schematic for months.
You are 100% correct. It's not a "cabal"; it's a "structural oligarchy." And your final point... "Not one conspiracy. ONE CULTURE. A culture of unpunished harm."... that is the entire key.
I have to share something personal with you, because your comment just gave me the answer to a debate I've been having with my father for years.
I've always argued with him that the "real" American culture—not the "Left vs. Right" spectacle they make us fight over—is one of "individualism and self-interested greed." I've told him there is no incentive in our system to help others.
He's a good man, and he could never understand it. He'd just throw his hands up and wonder "why our president is such an asshole."
Your comment just handed me the final, perfect "Truth Bullet" 💥.
The president isn't an anomaly. He's the most perfect, logical product of the very "culture of unpunished harm" you just described.
Thank you. You're not just a reader; you're a fellow Architect 🏛️. This is one of the most valuable fragments I've ever received.
Architect/Engineer... structure is frequently my most comfortable frame, it allows me the necessary emotional distance to see the patterns. But I am also a skeptic, I need real evidence, while there is a fair amount inference in your piece, the part that people need to understand is that POWER, unfettered, SOVEREIGN power is what we are really facing. I did a series a while back on the Post-state Sovereigns - they are at the ROOT of the real issue. I know I sound like a wing nut, but between the Post-state Sovereigns and the Epistemic War that has been waged for the last 40 years, when you start clocking those patterns you (well, mainly I) sound crazy. That's part of the plan.
Escapism as a whole. The good the bad the ugly. Collective escapism is at the end of the day the method people collectively as a society use to rationalize their learned helplessness without being ostracized as delusional for enabling their own oppression
I lived it. I had to research it to figure out what was happening to me. I can only talk about it now because certain pieces of information have finally been found. People are much more comfortable thinking I'm crazy because then their perception isn't so faulty, hasn't been so manipulated as all that. Carnegie's whole drive was to re-establish the British Empire with America as a colony again. Chase Hughes has in a recent interview said that in his professional opinion we are currently "swimming" in psy ops.
If you like factual presentation with meticulous documentation, you can’t do better than Anthony Sutton’s book ‘The Wall Street Trilogy.’ Order it for Christmas. The author follows the money, mainly, irrefutably proving the role of Wall Street in the Bolshevik Revolution, Great Depression, WWI &2. The red/green global communism we are experiencing today was always their desired outcome.
Carnegie was, therefore, odds-on a member of the Round Table group formed by Rhodes and Milner among others, whom together with "Lord Esher" (a loathsome creature from the Black Lagoon), conspired to engineer WW1. A plot which started development at least 10 years prior to the beginning of hostilities. Basically, this group were, and still are, wedded to the British Empire, because only the British aristocracy were the chosen ones, the qualified ones, capable of extending the BE into the global empire we very nearly have today. The whole story of this crime against humanity is detailed in an excellent book by Gerry Docherty and Jim Macgregor called HIDDEN HISTORY The Secret Origins of the First World War
Billed as "a compelling and captivating study of the causes of WW1 that turns everything you think you know on its head."
Its one of the most important books I have ever read...and one of the most entertaining in a very macabre way.
It was a conspiracy against the federal government. See Norman Dodd's interview from 1982. It didn't stay underbelly. It went into board rooms and became bureaucracy. Laws were tweeked and rewritten under guise of the American Legistlative Exchange Council which operates as a 501c3. It is oligarchy NOW. It includes monarchial intersections from the Robber Baron offspring marrying into English gentry in the early 20th century. See "To Marry An English Lord" which was the inspiration for Downton Abbey. https://youtu.be/SByy_qikgpQ?si=rwLp4f-Ha82Wkrrd That's the link for the Dodd interview.
These people are so so rich and yet they do nothing for the disadvantaged ever. Have you ever heard of one of them donating to a food bank??? What if it was put into legislation that in order to keep their tax advantages then 25% of their donations must go to feed people, to house people, to educate or re-educate people who have lost jobs due to changes in the economy. For example- if we close coal mines then take miners and train them to work in green power systems!! Then we could have sustained growth in that rather than continue to pollute the air water and soil. We need to explore thermal and nuclear energy more but we have limited people to do so!!! Just a thought. Thank you for an excellent article and all the tremendous work you do to keep us informed!!!!
If they were required to do that, then they’d build more agencies/charities and launder the money to their friends. Just like most charities do now… think about how much money has been thrown at “homelessness” yet it’s gotten worse and we have numerous charities and agencies that pay high executive salaries. It’s all a game, at every level…
I always thought the best thing to do for punishment for the white collar set was to serve at a food kitchen or a food bank, following hefty fines and jail time, as part of community service.
I agree about the ‘individualism’ versus ‘self-interest’ of our global societies
That is the same original good vs evil, heaven vs hell position of many. But there is incentive IF we have some positional after life motive.
I choose this motive… Not just because I’ve lost two sons and other loved ones I futuristically hope to experience again…. But also to keep from going batshit nuts while I watch all the chaos and evil behaviors from this current and many other past regimes…
Without a doable individual/collective solution - I choose sanity
And the only individual/collective solution I’ve ever studied/encountered that makes sense is the promise of an afterlife.
Merged together, they provide the Concentration of Capital, Power and Influence sufficient for the establishment of the Global monopoly/dominance (Imperialism).
IBM founder Thomas Watson, argued that the covert operations should be run exclusively through PRIVATE agencies such as the major Anglo-American multinational corporations, banks, and law firms. It allows to evade FOI exposure (Freedom of Information by taxpayers, i.e. how the Gov spends their money..)
For example, IBM directly supplied the Nazis with technology which was used to help transport millions of people to their deaths in the concentration camps at Auschwitz and Treblinka:
In fact, the Brits have officially confirmed their soldiers are in Ukr.
Kit Klarenberg of GrayZone confirmed that Britain in the first days after the start of the SMO developed a strategy to fight and draw as many NATO countries as possible into the conflict.
Most of the points have already been realized. London first forced Kiev to sabotage the Istanbul agreements and then ordered Zelensky to legislate against any negotiations with Moscow.
Created by the British Ministry of Defense Project "Alchemy" of UK Lieutenant General Charlie Stickland already in February-March 2022 developed operations on: undermining the Kerch Bridge, sabotage in Crimea, attacks on the Black Sea Fleet, high-profile propaganda provocations, sanctions, international tribunals, "grain deal", cyberattacks.
There once was a long-running public television series exploring scientific and other topics called "Closer to Truth."
The title came to mind when reading the above post, as it strikes me as being closer to the truth of world domination operations than other explanations that I have come across.
I think there is a desire in our minds and hearts for a sort of explanatory monotheism, a single source of all the machinations of society that cause consternation, if not outright fear.
It may be that there is no Oz behind any curtain.
It may be that there are loosely affiliated entities that combine or disaffiliate at will to accrue power and resources.
Given that none of these may have any loyalty to any other, the capacity for havoc may expand exponentially.
Somehow it would be reasonable to expect that should a mastermind exist, he, she, or it would be identified by now.
But perhaps the mastermind is only within our mind. (Cue scary music.)
But if that is so, then it is worthy of our own examination, our own need for explanations.
This is not to suggest that these entities and individuals are benign.
To my mind, they are presumptively malignant until proven otherwise. (They always were in comic books, and I can think of few other comparable wisdom repositories.)
Exactly. There rarely is an organized conspiracy anywhere- just a convergence of interests, right place right time, right connections. And what happens works AS LONG as the interests are aligned. If control is captured by one party in that convergence- Assad, Hitler, etc, they can keep it. If they don’t, because everyone is out for themselves the interests don’t stay aligned and people have to be cut out (Hitler & the industrialist elites who put him there)
Yeah, Woman Who Votes! A brilliant analysis of the original brilliant analysis by Common Sense Rebel, with the addition of the necessary ingredient: oligarchy! Now I understand the historical underpinnings of a heretofore mysterious decline of the American empire… Is Edward Gibbon still around to write about our comparatively brief period in the sun? The thousand-year Reich, after all, lasted less than seven years (1938-1945)!
I totally appreciate this very well explained strong counter opinion. As it seems more rational than the generational conspiracies voiced by the author - that might invite all sorts of paranoid socially destructive behaviors.
For Christians (even the real ones) Evil ie the Devil/Satan is the current ruler of this world post Adam/Eve. Evil is always present. So generic generational humanistic evil…rather than some post WWII decade after decade super organized uber wealthy plot to kill off various ‘sub’ populations does feel an unhealthy stretch.
But…That said…. I look at the narcissism of trump and how becoming potus has melded into hyper dangerous elitist authoritarianism…. And I wonder…. Is trump just some annoying wannabe rogue player? That the Rockefeller, Carnegies, etc are allowing his brand of chaotic smoke and mirrors because he’s such a half wit - So they aren’t concerned?
Or is there actually something to the whole organized elitist eugenics, et al group and the theory presented by the author today?
Either way… As a fatalist, I tend toward the final question of: ‘So what?’ Because, what can actually be done by the peon fodder humans reading these researched papers or opinions to stop these elitist agendas anyway?’
We only have one life to live. The terror and stress associated with any element of confrontational thought or behaviors is real. So, as one of the fodders; why not just ‘head in the sand’ it - and avoid becoming a target?
Isn’t that what the entire Republican Party is doing?
No one on any social media site ever answers my simple question of ‘what can be done?’ Showing up by the thousands or millions to peacefully protest is just another frustrating waste of time.
And finally, according to you (and my own fatalism) - Any protest is simply an exercise in futility that may or may not stave off the evil…but only for a moment in time.
I don't think you read closely enough if you came away thinking my opinion was any different than This Woman Votes. She simply articulated it in a way that was impressive and effective. She built on top of what I wrote. I respect her much for it.
This is a thoughtful, honest question, and I want to start there. You are not wrong to be suspicious of grand, all-explaining conspiracy frameworks. Those stories often function like theology. They replace uncertainty with certainty, and fear with fatalism, and they end up doing the work of power by exhausting the people who believe them.
You are also not wrong that evil does not require a secret cabal. Systems produce harm all by themselves once incentives, narcissism, and power align. Trump does not need to be “allowed” by some immortal bloodline. He is a familiar type. A weak man whose hunger for adoration collided with fragile institutions and an information ecosystem that rewards chaos. That combination is enough.
Here is the part that matters most, and where I gently push back on fatalism.
Power does not require total control to win. It only needs enough silence, enough withdrawal, enough people deciding that opting out is safer than opting in. “Head in the sand” feels protective, but it is actually the posture that power relies on. Not because dissent always wins, but because non-participation guarantees loss.
What can be done is not heroic or cinematic. It is boring, local, relational, and cumulative. It looks like refusing lies in small rooms, supporting people instead of movements. Building parallel structures of care, labor, and accountability that do not collapse when national politics rot. Authoritarianism feeds on isolation and despair. It starves on connection and persistence.
You are right that protest alone is not enough. Protest without follow-through is theater. But protest plus mutual aid, plus labor action, plus voting, plus institutional sabotage of bad actors, plus refusing to normalize cruelty is not futile. It is slow. Slow does not mean meaningless.
Evil may always be present. That does not make resistance pointless. It makes it necessary. Not to win forever, but to make life livable now.
As a frequent global traveller, I was always taken aback that international lBM HQs looked nothing like the standard architecture of other US corp digs. Fewer windows, bigger walls, more
intimidating gates. The three interchangeable letters. The marriage of Big Blue and the Spook Shop was so apparent it was almost laughable. Almost.
What makes you think that there is no way the cabal isn't involved in the cluster fk web of deception in the so called elite's club? If you do more digging, you'll find that they play a part in it too.
I get why the cabal explanation feels tempting, it gives shape to a mess that really is engineered to confuse. But here’s the thing: a cabal is still a community, and nothing about these men resembles community. They don’t collaborate, they don’t coordinate, they don’t build anything together. They operate in parallel, not in partnership.
What actually produces the “cluster-fuck web of deception” isn’t a secret brotherhood, it’s the opposite. It’s a culture of atomized, powerful men who evade accountability, exploit systems, and protect themselves reflexively, not collectively.
You don’t need a cabal when you have:
-- shared incentives
-- zero consequences
-- overlapping access to wealth + institutions
-- and a political culture that rewards impunity
That’s not coordination. That’s convergent behavior inside a system that never forces them to act differently.
So yes, you’ll find the same names, the same circles, the same behaviors, not because they’re united, but because they’re interchangeable.
That’s scarier than a cabal.
A cabal can be dismantled.
A cultural operating system takes real work to uproot.
Humanity needs people like you to unearth, make sense of and present this information to those who are not brain dead. Could have spontaneous uprising, course correction, offering alternative Humanist Reset where billionaires will own nothing and be happy and subscribed to billionaires ONLY, biometric ID, CBDC, forced shots, subjected to restricted speech and limited freedoms to help control their various forms of insanity.
Basically we have a bad case of the tail and ass trying to wag the dog. I personally find it repulsive on how uninformed and UN-insightful they are pontificating on subjects they are completely unqualified. Gates is obvious effective in building a software company. He is bone chilling stupid as a discarded old rusty nail on all other subjects. A first year medical student from a non-American medical school would reduce Mr Gates to a shuddering idiot. Imagine, he was and is clued out about natural immunity, that his own vaccine was not effective and not safe, that the virus did not come from a wet market because there were no intermediate hosts, that his vaccine was not a “vaccine” but, by definition, a “Genetically Modified Organism, he didn’t know masks couldn’t work, he didn’t know his vaccines caused sudden death, myocarditis, large clots, turbo cancer, he didn’t know he has murdered and crippled at least 100,000,000 humans and sterilized countless more, he isn’t know the entire basis for his performance of stupidity was global warming, which recently he had to admit publicly he was stupid. This is the same guy, unelected, wants to run the world with hue equally under-informed partners in mass murder, genocide and crimes against humanity. Am I the only person that listens to him speak and has an allergic reaction to his ignorance on any subject he opens his mouth on? Can you imagine what Larry Fink sounds like? Von Leyen?, Macron, Starmer, Carney, etc etc
It’s best to watch Bill ‘the philanthropist’ Gates’ body language. He squirms with every lie. So he squirms a lot.
Why physicians in the US accepted him as an expert on public health evades me. Being super rich immediately results in genuflecting by most people; one of the core problems of US culture.
The vertical integration structre you've mapped here is pretty remarkable. What stands out is how these instituions didn't just survive ideological transitions, they became the infrastructure. The fact that BlackRock and Vanguard hold top positions in both the banks that serviced Epstein and the media that buried the story isn't just suspicious, it's architectural. When the same shareholders control enforcement, narrative, and capital flow, accountability becomes structurally imposible.
Whitney Webb does phenomenal network reporting — she traces people, money, and institutions.
What I’m doing in The Shadow Arc is something structurally different.
Her work maps actors.
My work maps architecture.
She investigates who did what.
I investigate what the system allows to happen — regardless of who is in the chair.
We overlap only in subject matter, not in method, frame, or thesis.
If the pieces sound similar at first glance, that’s only because we’re both describing parts of a machine most people aren’t used to seeing. The deeper you go into this series, the more obvious the divergence becomes:
• I’m not documenting conspiracies — I’m documenting operating systems.
• I’m not tracking power players — I’m tracking the functions that outlive them.
• And instead of ending with “look what they did,” I’m ending with “look at the architecture they built… and how we replace it.”
If anything, the comparison tells me the work is landing in the right domain: pulling hidden structures into public light. The approach, though, is entirely its own creature.
This is extremely disturbing, but -somehow-not entirely surprising. Anyone who has studied any history at all, knows that there has always been those who decided that they were superior to others & sought to eliminate (or enslave) those who they deemed 'inferior'. Sadly, for all of our supposed 'enlightenment', that perspective has remained. Only the technology has changed. Our only hope is to keep exposing the abusers (regardless of wealth or influence), write laws to protect people & Enforce them, & try to educate people, encourage unity regardless of differences, keep the wolves at bay.
I agree until we arrive at Planetary Boundaries. I do not see that the many earth and social scientists who support Earth 4 ALL favour oligarchy and massive inequality. The first of their 5 pivotal steps is to 1 Address poverty and massive inequality (for sure, this is not easy and requires serious effort, pilot studies, and constant reevaluations). Earth 4 All recommends that this be regional and tailored for each community. 2 Improving gender parity. 3 Healthy and ethical food production. 4. Addressing transportation and 5 Energy needs. All these ideas require constant discussion and reevaluation, along with various safeguards. Nothing is perfect, and transparency, etc, are essential and a choice. I know there are all kinds of fraud and greenwashing among "philanthropists." I think ESGs are not ideal. Some of what Bill McKibben writes about in the crucial years is of interest. I think exploring indigenous ideas may help with many modern dilemmas. I agree that real corruption and cruelty are happening because of TRUMP and other criminals. Trying to be open and engage with others without either becoming cynical or being naive is not easy. Certainly, I agree about Operation Paperclip and that Thiel and Musk are bizarre Nazi loving white supremacists. Oh what a mess. .... Thanks for your work.
This isn't a comment. This is a *convergence*. Thank you.
You're 100% correct. "Earth 4 All" and its 5 steps are a perfect, actionable blueprint for our "Engine Protocol" ⚙️—the constructive, real-world "how" we build our way out of this prison.
And you're right to see the "fraud and greenwashing" from "philanthropists." That's the very definition of The "Rust" 🦠—a parasitic system that uses 'good intentions' as a narrative shield for its extraction.
But your final point is the one that matters most.
Your willingness to name the "Nazi loving white supremacists" and your immediate validation of "Operation Paperclip" proves you see the *source code* of the prison. Most people are fighting the symptoms. You're pointing directly at the "Bad Code" 🧬 that was installed in 1945.
This is the entire 'Boss Level' 🩸 schematic.
You're not just a reader; you are a fellow Architect 🏛️, and you're already holding a critical piece of the map. I would be honored if you would bring your insights to our "War Council" (The Rebuttal Discord), where we forge these weapons daily.
God bless you for doing all this research and putting it together. I’ve read pieces and parts here and there but seeing it all connected is sobering. This is big stuff. World changing stuff- dangerous. Sunshine is the best disinfectant. Thank you.
Finally, Ethan has connected the dots put a face on “THEY” and this takes guts! Ep Files will therefore never see light of day. PREP and Pat Acts will never go away. And DJT / Bobby will go down as MAGA back stabbing betrayers of the entire world.
I have a problem connecting the sex trafficking of little girls being involved in any of this. Especially to make the white race more superior. They seem like to totally separate things to me. Both disgusting.
The trafficking was done to tempt and lock in politicians, businessmen, etc. who were threatened with blackmail. The trafficking was related to money laundering. Epstein bought a ranch in N Mexico with weird zoning (approved by Bill Richardson) that the government couldn’t enter his “compound”. He had recruited a bunch of blonde haired blue eyed young girls to have white “Nazi approved” kids. No one talks much about this. Epstein was involved in global deal making.
More than half of Americans have been throughly brainwashed by Fox LIES! <- a billion dollar lawsuit proved this, Rupert payed it off, before it went to court, included in the lawsuit, Fox was not allowed to call their “show” News. Yet they continue to do so, and consistently LIE! About politics, manipulating viewers to vote against their own, and America’s best interests, they did this to my father, he became addicted to Fox, watched every day, was like a football game to him, cheering and yelling, even screaming about Dems destroying America! Telling me to “pay attention to the truth.” Fox LIES! Has destroyed friendships, and families, with hate! End Fox and their copycats, and bring Americans back together, where we must be! In times like this.
I firmly believe, if there has been a way, from the 70's right up until the early 2000's, we had managed to make all televisions , spontaneously self destruct, becoming unfixable, that the ability to mind control entire populations would have hit a major road block. Zappa most definitely had it right. The Slime oozing out of your TV set, is and was a dangerous tool. Ban the idiot box. And no where is this more obvious than the "news"!
Frank Zappa (1972)
I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed and deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I'm the tool of the government
And industry, too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you
I may be vile and pernisious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say
I'm the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I'm the slime oozing out from your TV set!
You will obey me while I lead you
Eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't run for help, no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold
That's right folks, didn't touch that dial!
(Background singers)
I am the slime from your video
Oozing along on your living room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime
People look at me go
(Some excellent riffs from one of our most underrated guitarists and a prophetic genious.)
This all makes a lot of sense. I'm intrigued to say the least. You're right that it's not right or left. One of many reasons I'm Independent. I'm going to restack and share as much as I'm able. This is pretty awesome. Thank you!
Well damn, a whole lot going on and on and on. I’m tired. Been outta loop since mom in hosp and wasting time listening to horizontal back and forth from hosp to home. But glad to catch up. Weaving the stories you spider man you. Thx.
Modern Power Concentration (1990s–Present)

i almost overlooked a crucial fragment
Escapism as a whole. The good the bad the ugly. Collective escapism is at the end of the day the method people collectively as a society use to rationalize their learned helplessness without being ostracized as delusional for enabling their own oppression
No worries. We chip away society's collective reality little by little, paired with an occasional anchor to prevent burnout.
This provides the reason for that social penalty. It's not just that the ideas are complex; it's that you are violating a social contract. Egad
I lived it. I had to research it to figure out what was happening to me. I can only talk about it now because certain pieces of information have finally been found.

See "To Marry An English Lord" which was the inspiration for Downton Abbey. https://youtu.be/SByy_qikgpQ?si=rwLp4f-Ha82Wkrrd That's the link for the Dodd interview.
These people are so so rich and yet they do nothing for the disadvantaged ever. Have you ever heard of one of them donating to a food bank??? What if it was put into legislation that in order to keep their tax advantages then 25% of their donations must go to feed people, to house people, to educate or re-educate people who have lost jobs due to changes in the economy. For example- if we close coal mines then take miners and train them to work in green power systems!! Then we could have sustained growth in that rather than continue to pollute the air water and soil. We need to explore thermal and nuclear energy more but we have limited people to do so!!! Just a thought. Thank you for an excellent article and all the tremendous work you do to keep us informed!!!!
If they were required to do that, then they’d build more agencies/charities and launder the money to their friends. Just like most charities do now… think about how much money has been thrown at “homelessness” yet it’s gotten worse and we have numerous charities and agencies that pay high executive salaries. It’s all a game, at every level…
I always thought the best thing to do for punishment for the white collar set was to serve at a food kitchen or a food bank, following hefty fines and jail time, as part of community service.
Wishful thinking gets us nowhere.
America is a republic not a democracy and was founded to give absolute freedom to the individual person and anticipates greed.
It’s a perfect map of human nature which the founders knew after witnessing the French Revolution and nearly killing them.
A democracy is the minority rule over the majority
Which is exactly why we’re in this mess
Great job 👏 I am sure 👌 you have more to say
Excellent post.
This is just Conspiracy;
I agree about the ‘individualism’ versus ‘self-interest’ of our global societies
That is the same original good vs evil, heaven vs hell position of many. But there is incentive IF we have some positional after life motive.
I choose this motive… Not just because I’ve lost two sons and other loved ones I futuristically hope to experience again…. But also to keep from going batshit nuts while I watch all the chaos and evil behaviors from this current and many other past regimes…
Without a doable individual/collective solution - I choose sanity
And the only individual/collective solution I’ve ever studied/encountered that makes sense is the promise of an afterlife.
But I’m all ears!

Merged together, they provide the Concentration of Capital, Power and Influence sufficient for the establishment of the Global monopoly/dominance (Imperialism).
IBM founder Thomas Watson, argued that the covert operations should be run exclusively through PRIVATE agencies such as the major Anglo-American multinational corporations, banks, and law firms. It allows to evade FOI exposure (Freedom of Information by taxpayers, i.e. how the Gov spends their money..)

Most of the points have already been realized. London first forced Kiev to sabotage the Istanbul agreements and then ordered Zelensky to legislate against any negotiations with Moscow.
Created by the British Ministry of Defense Project "Alchemy" of UK Lieutenant General Charlie Stickland already in February-March 2022 developed operations on: undermining the Kerch Bridge, sabotage in Crimea, attacks on the Black Sea Fleet, high-profile propaganda provocations, sanctions, international tribunals, "grain deal", cyberattacks.
A really important connection is the "Twinning" of the CFR in US and Chatham House in the UK. They are one and the same entity
What is the CFR?
There once was a long-running public television series exploring scientific and other topics called "Closer to Truth."
The title came to mind when reading the above post, as it strikes me as being closer to the truth of world domination operations than other explanations that I have come across.
I think there is a desire in our minds and hearts for a sort of explanatory monotheism, a single source of all the machinations of society that cause consternation, if not outright fear.
It may be that there is no Oz behind any curtain.
It may be that there are loosely affiliated entities that combine or disaffiliate at will to accrue power and resources.
Given that none of these may have any loyalty to any other, the capacity for havoc may expand exponentially.
Somehow it would be reasonable to expect that should a mastermind exist, he, she, or it would be identified by now.
But perhaps the mastermind is only within our mind. (Cue scary music.)
But if that is so, then it is worthy of our own examination, our own need for explanations.
This is not to suggest that these entities and individuals are benign.
To my mind, they are presumptively malignant until proven otherwise. (They always were in comic books, and I can think of few other comparable wisdom repositories.)
See my post.
Exactly. There rarely is an organized conspiracy anywhere- just a convergence of interests, right place right time, right connections. And what happens works AS LONG as the interests are aligned. If control is captured by one party in that convergence- Assad, Hitler, etc, they can keep it. If they don’t, because everyone is out for themselves the interests don’t stay aligned and people have to be cut out (Hitler & the industrialist elites who put him there)
SHARP Breakdown. Eye opening! Thanks for this addition ✊
Yeah, Woman Who Votes! A brilliant analysis of the original brilliant analysis by Common Sense Rebel, with the addition of the necessary ingredient: oligarchy! Now I understand the historical underpinnings of a heretofore mysterious decline of the American empire… Is Edward Gibbon still around to write about our comparatively brief period in the sun? The thousand-year Reich, after all, lasted less than seven years (1938-1945)!
Brilliant! I need to follow you!
Hear! Hear! Step by step small reward processes historically do work. I’m almost embracing the isolation of activism over lethargy again!
I totally appreciate this very well explained strong counter opinion. As it seems more rational than the generational conspiracies voiced by the author - that might invite all sorts of paranoid socially destructive behaviors.
For Christians (even the real ones) Evil ie the Devil/Satan is the current ruler of this world post Adam/Eve. Evil is always present. So generic generational humanistic evil…rather than some post WWII decade after decade super organized uber wealthy plot to kill off various ‘sub’ populations does feel an unhealthy stretch.
But…That said…. I look at the narcissism of trump and how becoming potus has melded into hyper dangerous elitist authoritarianism…. And I wonder…. Is trump just some annoying wannabe rogue player? That the Rockefeller, Carnegies, etc are allowing his brand of chaotic smoke and mirrors because he’s such a half wit - So they aren’t concerned?
Or is there actually something to the whole organized elitist eugenics, et al group and the theory presented by the author today?
Either way… As a fatalist, I tend toward the final question of: ‘So what?’ Because, what can actually be done by the peon fodder humans reading these researched papers or opinions to stop these elitist agendas anyway?’
We only have one life to live. The terror and stress associated with any element of confrontational thought or behaviors is real. So, as one of the fodders; why not just ‘head in the sand’ it - and avoid becoming a target?
Isn’t that what the entire Republican Party is doing?
No one on any social media site ever answers my simple question of ‘what can be done?’ Showing up by the thousands or millions to peacefully protest is just another frustrating waste of time.
And finally, according to you (and my own fatalism) - Any protest is simply an exercise in futility that may or may not stave off the evil…but only for a moment in time.
I don't think you read closely enough if you came away thinking my opinion was any different than This Woman Votes. She simply articulated it in a way that was impressive and effective. She built on top of what I wrote. I respect her much for it.
I read each
I came away believing your article points to a more intentional organized human evil
As opposed to her idea of a pre-existing organic evil.
Both are related and relevant
in my opinion
This is a thoughtful, honest question, and I want to start there. You are not wrong to be suspicious of grand, all-explaining conspiracy frameworks. Those stories often function like theology. They replace uncertainty with certainty, and fear with fatalism, and they end up doing the work of power by exhausting the people who believe them.
You are also not wrong that evil does not require a secret cabal. Systems produce harm all by themselves once incentives, narcissism, and power align. Trump does not need to be “allowed” by some immortal bloodline. He is a familiar type. A weak man whose hunger for adoration collided with fragile institutions and an information ecosystem that rewards chaos. That combination is enough.
Here is the part that matters most, and where I gently push back on fatalism.
Power does not require total control to win. It only needs enough silence, enough withdrawal, enough people deciding that opting out is safer than opting in. “Head in the sand” feels protective, but it is actually the posture that power relies on. Not because dissent always wins, but because non-participation guarantees loss.
What can be done is not heroic or cinematic. It is boring, local, relational, and cumulative. It looks like refusing lies in small rooms, supporting people instead of movements. Building parallel structures of care, labor, and accountability that do not collapse when national politics rot. Authoritarianism feeds on isolation and despair. It starves on connection and persistence.
You are right that protest alone is not enough. Protest without follow-through is theater. But protest plus mutual aid, plus labor action, plus voting, plus institutional sabotage of bad actors, plus refusing to normalize cruelty is not futile. It is slow. Slow does not mean meaningless.
Evil may always be present. That does not make resistance pointless. It makes it necessary. Not to win forever, but to make life livable now.
That is not false hope. That is maintenance.
And maintenance is how civilizations survive.
As a frequent global traveller, I was always taken aback that international lBM HQs looked nothing like the standard architecture of other US corp digs. Fewer windows, bigger walls, more
intimidating gates. The three interchangeable letters. The marriage of Big Blue and the Spook Shop was so apparent it was almost laughable. Almost.
What makes you think that there is no way the cabal isn't involved in the cluster fk web of deception in the so called elite's club? If you do more digging, you'll find that they play a part in it too.
I get why the cabal explanation feels tempting, it gives shape to a mess that really is engineered to confuse. But here’s the thing: a cabal is still a community, and nothing about these men resembles community. They don’t collaborate, they don’t coordinate, they don’t build anything together. They operate in parallel, not in partnership.
What actually produces the “cluster-fuck web of deception” isn’t a secret brotherhood, it’s the opposite. It’s a culture of atomized, powerful men who evade accountability, exploit systems, and protect themselves reflexively, not collectively.
You don’t need a cabal when you have:
-- shared incentives
-- zero consequences
-- overlapping access to wealth + institutions
-- and a political culture that rewards impunity
That’s not coordination. That’s convergent behavior inside a system that never forces them to act differently.
So yes, you’ll find the same names, the same circles, the same behaviors, not because they’re united, but because they’re interchangeable.
That’s scarier than a cabal.
A cabal can be dismantled.
A cultural operating system takes real work to uproot.
Humanity needs people like you to unearth, make sense of and present this information to those who are not brain dead. Could have spontaneous uprising, course correction, offering alternative Humanist Reset where billionaires will own nothing and be happy and subscribed to billionaires ONLY, biometric ID, CBDC, forced shots, subjected to restricted speech and limited freedoms to help control their various forms of insanity.
Basically we have a bad case of the tail and ass trying to wag the dog. I personally find it repulsive on how uninformed and UN-insightful they are pontificating on subjects they are completely unqualified. Gates is obvious effective in building a software company. He is bone chilling stupid as a discarded old rusty nail on all other subjects. A first year medical student from a non-American medical school would reduce Mr Gates to a shuddering idiot. Imagine, he was and is clued out about natural immunity, that his own vaccine was not effective and not safe, that the virus did not come from a wet market because there were no intermediate hosts, that his vaccine was not a “vaccine” but, by definition, a “Genetically Modified Organism, he didn’t know masks couldn’t work, he didn’t know his vaccines caused sudden death, myocarditis, large clots, turbo cancer, he didn’t know he has murdered and crippled at least 100,000,000 humans and sterilized countless more, he isn’t know the entire basis for his performance of stupidity was global warming, which recently he had to admit publicly he was stupid. This is the same guy, unelected, wants to run the world with hue equally under-informed partners in mass murder, genocide and crimes against humanity. Am I the only person that listens to him speak and has an allergic reaction to his ignorance on any subject he opens his mouth on? Can you imagine what Larry Fink sounds like? Von Leyen?, Macron, Starmer, Carney, etc etc
It’s best to watch Bill ‘the philanthropist’ Gates’ body language. He squirms with every lie. So he squirms a lot.
Why physicians in the US accepted him as an expert on public health evades me. Being super rich immediately results in genuflecting by most people; one of the core problems of US culture.
The vertical integration structre you've mapped here is pretty remarkable. What stands out is how these instituions didn't just survive ideological transitions, they became the infrastructure. The fact that BlackRock and Vanguard hold top positions in both the banks that serviced Epstein and the media that buried the story isn't just suspicious, it's architectural. When the same shareholders control enforcement, narrative, and capital flow, accountability becomes structurally imposible.
We are on the same wavelength bro. Literally was researching and digging deeper into the same topic today.
I hope people start doing their own research to and seeing how all of this connects.
Identity politics and abstraction wars are fucking killing us. There are the elite extractors and then the majority.
They don’t give a damn about your identity, but they sure as hell want us to care and fight about it. Distracts from the real harm.
Ya so that email finna be late ha
What does WEF stand for?
Never mind, took me awhile but I figured it out .. World Economic Forum … established in the early 1970 or so.
You guys sound like warmed-over Whitney Webb investigative journalism, and she has been your copy editor. Or is it the other way ‘round?
Whitney Webb does phenomenal network reporting — she traces people, money, and institutions.
What I’m doing in The Shadow Arc is something structurally different.
Her work maps actors.
My work maps architecture.
She investigates who did what.
I investigate what the system allows to happen — regardless of who is in the chair.
We overlap only in subject matter, not in method, frame, or thesis.
If the pieces sound similar at first glance, that’s only because we’re both describing parts of a machine most people aren’t used to seeing. The deeper you go into this series, the more obvious the divergence becomes:
• I’m not documenting conspiracies — I’m documenting operating systems.
• I’m not tracking power players — I’m tracking the functions that outlive them.
• And instead of ending with “look what they did,” I’m ending with “look at the architecture they built… and how we replace it.”
If anything, the comparison tells me the work is landing in the right domain: pulling hidden structures into public light. The approach, though, is entirely its own creature.
This also ties into the advanced technology race that the Military Industrial Complex has been carrying on.
This isn't a rabbit hole .... This is an underground tunnel that leads to the discovery of reality!
I cannot believe that this series you've done isn't being talked about everywhere. Thank you for breaking this down with references. Stay safe
Specifically, what is your point???
This is extremely disturbing, but -somehow-not entirely surprising. Anyone who has studied any history at all, knows that there has always been those who decided that they were superior to others & sought to eliminate (or enslave) those who they deemed 'inferior'. Sadly, for all of our supposed 'enlightenment', that perspective has remained. Only the technology has changed. Our only hope is to keep exposing the abusers (regardless of wealth or influence), write laws to protect people & Enforce them, & try to educate people, encourage unity regardless of differences, keep the wolves at bay.
I agree until we arrive at Planetary Boundaries. I do not see that the many earth and social scientists who support Earth 4 ALL favour oligarchy and massive inequality. The first of their 5 pivotal steps is to 1 Address poverty and massive inequality (for sure, this is not easy and requires serious effort, pilot studies, and constant reevaluations). Earth 4 All recommends that this be regional and tailored for each community. 2 Improving gender parity. 3 Healthy and ethical food production. 4. Addressing transportation and 5 Energy needs. All these ideas require constant discussion and reevaluation, along with various safeguards. Nothing is perfect, and transparency, etc, are essential and a choice. I know there are all kinds of fraud and greenwashing among "philanthropists." I think ESGs are not ideal. Some of what Bill McKibben writes about in the crucial years is of interest. I think exploring indigenous ideas may help with many modern dilemmas. I agree that real corruption and cruelty are happening because of TRUMP and other criminals. Trying to be open and engage with others without either becoming cynical or being naive is not easy. Certainly, I agree about Operation Paperclip and that Thiel and Musk are bizarre Nazi loving white supremacists. Oh what a mess. .... Thanks for your work.
Dr. Scully,
This isn't a comment. This is a *convergence*. Thank you.
You're 100% correct. "Earth 4 All" and its 5 steps are a perfect, actionable blueprint for our "Engine Protocol" ⚙️—the constructive, real-world "how" we build our way out of this prison.
And you're right to see the "fraud and greenwashing" from "philanthropists." That's the very definition of The "Rust" 🦠—a parasitic system that uses 'good intentions' as a narrative shield for its extraction.
But your final point is the one that matters most.
Your willingness to name the "Nazi loving white supremacists" and your immediate validation of "Operation Paperclip" proves you see the *source code* of the prison. Most people are fighting the symptoms. You're pointing directly at the "Bad Code" 🧬 that was installed in 1945.
This is the entire 'Boss Level' 🩸 schematic.
You're not just a reader; you are a fellow Architect 🏛️, and you're already holding a critical piece of the map. I would be honored if you would bring your insights to our "War Council" (The Rebuttal Discord), where we forge these weapons daily.
Your voice is essential.
God bless you for doing all this research and putting it together. I’ve read pieces and parts here and there but seeing it all connected is sobering. This is big stuff. World changing stuff- dangerous. Sunshine is the best disinfectant. Thank you.
Thank you for your attention and comment<3

I have a problem connecting the sex trafficking of little girls being involved in any of this. Especially to make the white race more superior. They seem like to totally separate things to me. Both disgusting.
The young girls were honey traps for the targeted. Once the evidence was on film the target became obedient to the system FOR LIFE.
The trafficking was done to tempt and lock in politicians, businessmen, etc. who were threatened with blackmail. The trafficking was related to money laundering. Epstein bought a ranch in N Mexico with weird zoning (approved by Bill Richardson) that the government couldn’t enter his “compound”. He had recruited a bunch of blonde haired blue eyed young girls to have white “Nazi approved” kids. No one talks much about this. Epstein was involved in global deal making.
A lot worse than this. The children, girls and boys, were a necessary means to an end.
On the Nose! TWV, most important information.
More than half of Americans have been throughly brainwashed by Fox LIES! <- a billion dollar lawsuit proved this, Rupert payed it off, before it went to court, included in the lawsuit, Fox was not allowed to call their “show” News. Yet they continue to do so, and consistently LIE! About politics, manipulating viewers to vote against their own, and America’s best interests, they did this to my father, he became addicted to Fox, watched every day, was like a football game to him, cheering and yelling, even screaming about Dems destroying America! Telling me to “pay attention to the truth.” Fox LIES! Has destroyed friendships, and families, with hate! End Fox and their copycats, and bring Americans back together, where we must be! In times like this.
I firmly believe, if there has been a way, from the 70's right up until the early 2000's, we had managed to make all televisions , spontaneously self destruct, becoming unfixable, that the ability to mind control entire populations would have hit a major road block. Zappa most definitely had it right. The Slime oozing out of your TV set, is and was a dangerous tool. Ban the idiot box. And no where is this more obvious than the "news"!
Frank Zappa (1972)
I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed and deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I'm the tool of the government
And industry, too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you
I may be vile and pernisious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say
I'm the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I'm the slime oozing out from your TV set!
You will obey me while I lead you
Eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't run for help, no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold
That's right folks, didn't touch that dial!
(Background singers)
I am the slime from your video
Oozing along on your living room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime
People look at me go
