I worked for three banks, Wells Fargo (the worst), Washington Mutual a (house of cards) and Chase(best at hiding it all).

All threeโ€™s main interest was stock price and their bonuses , oh and their payout packages. This article brings back many bad memories. Iโ€™m forwarding this article to my friends. It rings true, unfortunately.

This is a very good article that tries to explain the unexplainable and really opened my eyes to some different thinking.

Thanks, Ethan. I subscribed but will have to wait awhile to pay. ๐Ÿ˜ข

Don't you worry for a second

Powerful article and worth a viral share!

So both sides are evil. Trump knew they would win. Trump was just stringing the moral and ethical people along all along. Babies will continue to be aborted. The elderly will continue to commit suicide (e.g., euthanasia, Palliative Care), of course, with the help of psychiatrist. Vaccines will still be given, deaths and autism will continue. After all, like the high priest Jew said when turning Jesus over to the Romans, โ€œItโ€™s better for one to die than a nation.โ€ Our leader says,โ€Itโ€™s for the greater good.โ€ Drug trafficking who cares. Sex trafficking who cares. In the end both sides were evil.

Very thoughtful and pedagogical๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™ Where do you believe the legal eagles fit in? From lawyers to scotus?

That's a good angle to research

Nice that as.you get ready to conclude that the whole trump mess is truly finally beginning to crumble. Unfortunetly his cognitive decline is so bad and rapid that he will most likely be a basket case and not able to be incarcerated. Republicans are getying ready to jump ship after MTG made her announcement. They all brought it.on themselves. As kids you were taught you never give into a bully. But what did you all do? And you will have to live with that on a personal level. To think that you actually believed your way was going to work and get you into a good place. Should have listened to your parents!!!

Seriously? Youโ€™re delusional. If not for Trump this whole corruption wouldnโ€™t be coming to light.

Nana Baakan Agyiriwah's avatar

Trump bringing the corruption to light, is what makes him the enigma.

Candis's avatar

I'm starting to wonder if the whole of history actually rides on the arc of enigmas.

Nana Baakan Agyiriwah's avatar

Candis, that is definitely something to consider.

MNT's avatar

Yep...Check out Operation Gladio by Williams for more on the foundation/history. Eveything becomes foreeable in that context ๐Ÿ˜‰

I'm thinking a kind of see-saw effect between these kinds of larger forces and individual enigmas, in whatever form these have taken on either side of the playground. One of my favorite quotes is from Voltaire: "God is not on the side of the big battalions, but of the best shots." But that sorta puts a focus onto a struggle between "good" and "evil."

Currently in the US, there is a huge struggle regarding who gets exclusive rights to calling themselves completely and totally "good." (Meaning crudely, that anyone placing themselves even remotely outside of the "winning" shield is completely and totally "bad.")

The brilliant (come on, he got to the pinnacle at least twice) but openly flawed and unapologetic Trump stands like a lightening rod in the middle of the mayhem. The enigma powering the narratives on all sides, that pushes everything forward and calling the shots against what some call "the deep state blob." Throughout history, many such cases.

Yes he's a scale on the snake's back, completely dependent on the head of the snake for survival. Addicted to the power money and adulation provided by the head of that snake๐Ÿ . (As are many other tacticians and addicts of the same "drug" / "strategic overlord ")

As we the people, chase the " tactician" , the strategist continues to thrive.

BTW..Rousseau also talked about this, but alas, being human and self centered, he never even tried to live up to his own ideals. Those rules were for the "regular people " not inteligencia like himself ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‚

True, but still not honorable or decent. I'm glad I'm not a youth heading into the consequences of all this๐Ÿซค

'The Witches Echo'; at some point the ring of salt becomes less a sanctuary but more a prison to the masses. What a depressing, existential treatise on reality.

Someone posted on Bluesky a free NYT article about the glue that held the Epstein structure together. Very interesting read as well if you still subscribe to the Times. The US is now so thoroughly corrupted, inside and out that Iโ€™m not sure we can ever get ourselves back to anything like โ€œnormalโ€ or whatever we can see as normal anymore. Everyone and everything is too busy trying to cover their own asses in order to preserve the status quo so it all doesnโ€™t burn down around their own ears. Unfortunately the burning has already begun. Bannonโ€™s dream of immolating everything is underway. The Phoenix that arises from the resulting dirty ashes might be more fearsome than we could ever imagine.

Gail S. Goodman's avatar

Not sure what Bannons plan is riggt now. Could you post it?

MNT's avatar

I think he wants a 3rd term for Trump? I dont have a NYT subscription to check the article out

Bill Katz here on Substack posted a reprint of the article. Itโ€™s long and convoluted but still a sickening read.

When the whole truth is.out starting from 90 years ago as we learned thanks to Ethan then maybe it will be so shocking that things will be watched more closely.starting 90 years ago was a pretty horrifying reality that a group wanted even then to be all white. And no regard for human life. Look what is happening in Canada. They started with assisted suicide. Then they started putting healthcare people in the position of reccomending that too people who were really sick suggesting that that would be the best choice and also that to those who suffered from depression etc and older people. This was all to deny care where they have universal health care so the govt. could save money. The numbers have been going up dramaticaly so that euthanasia is a leading cause of death. More people will be targetted as part of their big plan. Never expected this ftom Canada. They are also devising plans to systematically kill animals. What about the osterich farm?

Check out Whitney Webb's books or YT interviews for more on Carney in Canada. He's part of the same US/UK cabal. Macron in France is another protege of the Rothschild clan, and a Rothschild minion allegedly saved DJT from bankruptcy.

Again, for info, Whitney Webb is a great source . Her research is very deep and detailed. For history, check out Operation Gladio by Williams.

People blame Israel, but its a certain class of Isralis, not your average Kibbutznik. And that class is active in Europe, US and Canada also. Some say it has hit Australia too. Most of it seems to come back to old money made from war mongering since the early 19th century.

And yes, as suggested in this thread, it's not being hidden as well due to the Epstein /DJT/Clinton/Barak/et al scandals. Hopefully the veil hasn't been taken off too late for the countries' populations to fix it. ๐Ÿ™

From the first part of your writings, as a sensitive, each strand of your words felt like a thread of a spiders web being spun around us. Your words, at their base were Metaphysical. I felt myself being drawn in. ๐Ÿ‘Œ

You're joking, right?

The entire picture you lay out for us operates as a culture of simulation within the spectacle of the real. I see that we are all Hostages living in a Luxury Hotel- https://open.substack.com/pub/edbrenegar/p/held-hostage-in-a-luxury-hotel?r=b9jmp&utm_medium=ios&shareImageVariant=overlay

You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave?

Wow! I learned so much here, and all of it scares the crap out of me. It really boggles the mind that its so simple yet so opaque. Damn its a sad sad state we are in. Thank you for an amazing article.

I don't understand your statement as to why some crimes cannot be prosecuted because the foundation is built on the same crime? Ethan talk down to me, please?

Well written. I would send to friends who would even remotely understand. However I canโ€™t. Theyโ€™re all Dead โ˜ ๏ธ. Nice ๐Ÿ‘ read though.
