Innocent Bystanders,
Themes of deep, pervasive and longstanding corruption within our governments, industries and all of our social institutions are pervasive, and there is a battle, almost a civil war, between camps of potential reformers, who are at loggerheads with each other.
The dehumanization of Jews, Gypsies, Slavs and other "untermenschen" under Hitler is well known. It was tried during COVID on "the unvaccinated", but did not reach critical mass. We should be careful to NOT Dehumanize "Illegals". They are pawns of flesh, just as we are.
Deep, meaningful reform might have finally begun. The talent and group cohesion of the current alliance of Trumpian Rising-Elites is much in evidence with Elon Musk's A.I. Forensic Accounting, automating detailed audits of complex government finances rapidly and effectively, when it has always proven impossible to do at all in the past. Does this AI have the power to unwind the global financial-derivatives rat's nest of mass-financial destruction? Asking for a friend...
Other Trumpian rising-elite allies are in position or still awaiting confirmation. There is talent, thuggery, life experience, expertise, and political experience in this team, which stands to get a lot accomplished if the members can maintain a cohesion of purpose.
I open with a couple of articles about a particular group of established elites, the "Black Nobility", and an article about how new elites may rise within a society to enact constructive reforms.
Richard Cook, The Plan to Destroy the U.S. Is in Motion
Everyone knows the world is under siege by a deep-seated conspiracy run by the globalist financial elite. This has been spotlighted by the ongoing revelations of the billions of dollars spent by USAID over the past half-century on overthrowing governments via “color revolutions” and underwriting media publications... The conspiracy began to take control of the U.S. with the creation of the National Security State—including founding of the CIA and NSA—by President Harry Truman right after World War II. When FDR died on April 12, 1945, he took with him his dream of world peace through a balance of power reflected in the make-up of the UN Security Council, consisting of the U.S., Great Britain, France, the Soviet Union, and China. But through Truman’s corrupt actions, it would now become the U.S. against the Soviets and anyone else who could be accused of leftist, communist, or even progressive tendencies. All would be labeled the “Cold War.”
The founding of the National Security State coincided with Truman’s recognition of the declared entity of Israel during its takeover and ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1947-1948. Israel, largely funded by the Rothschilds and U.S. donors and spearheaded by Jewish radicals from Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, would become the conspiracy’s island in the Middle East.[i]
The conspiracy expanded its control of the U.S. until the election of President John F. Kennedy in 1960 and, after murdering him and plunging the nation into the Vietnam War, has remained ascendant ever since... The faction known as the Neocons moved in with the Reagan administration and have never budged. Their monument to themselves was 9/11.
The conspiracy seemingly hit a bump in the road when an outsider, Donald Trump, was elected president in 2016 through a revolt of what election loser Hillary Clinton labeled the “deplorables.” The conspiracy was able to control the upstart Trump satisfactorily until the rigged election of 2020... Then, against all odds, Trump was re-elected in 2024 over the hapless Kamala Harris...
But Trump carried his own baggage of having been bailed out of past financial embarrassments by elitist banking interests and his subservience to Israel. Nevertheless, with Trump in office and, unlike during his first term, now surrounded by a phalanx of what are being characterized as patriots determined to restore the country to its true greatness and mission...
..Actually, it’s more than reform. As I have said elsewhere, Trump is riding a populist wave, and American Civil War II appears to be on. See here. This is after the Anglo-American-Zionist Empire, of which the U.S. was enticed into acting as its military arm for over a century, has suffered defeat in Ukraine and Gaza, marking the likely termination of global conquest. BRICS+ has also said “Nyet.”
While Trump has been taking steps that could lead to peace with Russia over Ukraine, the situation with Israel remains intractable...
While Trump has been taking steps that could lead to peace with Russia over Ukraine, the situation with Israel remains intractable...
..But again, who really are the globalist financial elite? And what is their connection with Zionism? After years of pondering this question and examining the evidence through vast amounts of research, I have decided to use the name put forth by British researcher Frances Leader by calling them the “Black Nobility.”
Leader says the Black Nobility are headquartered in Europe and date to the Roman Empire. At one time, they ruled over the Venetian Empire whose institutions spread westward, especially to Amsterdam and Britain. Today it is most visible through groups like the Club of Rome, the WEF, Bilderberg, and institutions like the Rothschild banking empire in the City of London and the apex of globalist banking at the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland. The Black Nobility appear to control the European Union central bureaucracy, while important nodes are embedded in Wall Street and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, as well as the largest privately-owned banks around the world.
The principal M.O. of the Black Nobility is banking, bribery, and usury. A primary tactic is the creation of investment bubbles, then crashing them, in order to buy up assets for pennies on the dollar. Ownership of commodities like land, gold and other minerals, and, above all, oil and natural gas, is always a priority...

..The Black Nobility now may be seeing the U.S. as having outlived its usefulness. It needed the U.S. to help wage its campaigns for the annihilation of Germany that began with World War I, continued along the same trajectory with World War II, and has culminated in our day with the West’s proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. The most significant event in this proxy war, other than the Maidan coup in the U.S. takeover of Ukraine in 2014, was President Joe Biden’s sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines that linked Germany to the cheap Russian gas it requires for its economic sustenance.
These wars have largely been run from the shadows by Great Britain, the founder of NATO. The purpose of NATO, the British declared, is to “keep America in, Germany down, and Russia out.” That purpose has not changed in three-quarters of a century...
..Based on authentic insider information, I can confirm that destruction of the U.S. is to be accomplished by an organized assault and takeover from the direction of Latin America, using the millions of illegal immigrants admitted by the Biden/Harris/Majorkas cabal as the initial shock troops... These wars have largely been run from the shadows by Great Britain, the founder of NATO. The purpose of NATO, the British declared, is to “keep America in, Germany down, and Russia out.” That purpose has not changed in three-quarters of a century...
..Make no mistake: The U.S. and other colonialist powers have made themselves an easy target through their genocidal wars fought against much of the world’s population during the 20th-21st centuries. They have evoked a worldwide tsunami of hatred and disgust that must find either fulfillment or resolution. Part of their genocide has been the massive drug operations run by the CIA and other intelligence services to the tune of $500 billion a year that has destroyed millions of lives. But now the cabal senses its big opportunity to wipe out the deeply compromised but still sovereign U.S. nation once and for all.
Can the U.S. Evade Destruction?
The answer may be “Yes,” but only through an immense effort comparable to those required to overcome the two previous assaults by the global financial elite to subdue the nation—the first through the attack on America by the British Crown and Parliament leading to the American Revolution—and the second through the attempt to break up the country by fomenting the first American Civil War. Nevertheless, the conspiracy did gain control of the U.S. via the “Insurrection of 1913,” when the Federal Reserve Act was written by the Rothschilds and signed into law by a blackmailed President Woodrow Wilson...

..Among the largest battles that are looming is the fight for U.S. financial sovereignty which has been ruined by the global conspiracy to the tune of a $36+ trillion national debt. The debt exists due to fact that over the centuries the financial elite have foisted a system of public finance on the world whereby massive government debt is required to fund a nation’s circulating currency...
..It would be simpler and more effective to adopt a program of direct funding like the Civil War Greenbacks or the silver certificates President John F. Kennedy planned to introduce. Such a program is already on the books of Congress through the NEED Act introduced by Congressman Dennis Kucinich in 2011...
..Certainly the U.S. shouldn’t try to conduct an assault on Canada, but it seems likely that a voluntary union of the U.S., Canada, and Greenland has a better chance of success than each acting alone... Note too that a voluntary union of the U.S., Canada, Greenland, and possibly Mexico as a southern buffer, would also allow for transportation links with Russia to be built via the Bering Strait and the Arctic sea lanes. Such a North American Union, much different from the version imagined in the 1990s, and linked with a Russia that enjoys good economic relations with Germany, could be the foundation on which world peace might be built for centuries to come... This combination could make peace with China, promote an authentic European Federation that includes Russia, reform the world’s monetary system, and defeat the Black Nobility for good. https://montanarcc.substack.com/p/the-plan-to-destroy-the-us-is-in
Samo Burja 8/19/2020 Reform Is Driven by Rising Elites
America’s elites are seen to be simultaneously all powerful and completely incompetent... The term “elites” has many connotations today, but early sociologists such as Max Weber or Vilfredo Pareto used it in a technical sense: the group of people that has a preponderant influence on society. They are those with power. A different use of the term “elite” can be found in phrases like “elite athlete,” which indicate someone at the top of a domain of skill...
..Recognizing elites and navigating their world requires discerning the standards in play. Those elites who exercise influence may be called the ruling class even though they are certainly not confined to government positions...
..Elites are not solely a negative influence on society, and in fact serve several crucial roles to its functioning. Without a functioning elite, we could not have a functioning society.
A society is best thought of as an ecosystem of mutually dependent institutions. Where those institutions are abundant, well-designed, and functional, we will find a flourishing society and civilization. Where they are few, poorly designed, or dysfunctional, we will find a broken and decaying society. Throughout history, the best institutions outperform others by many orders of magnitude—functional institutions are the exception. It is better to have one functional institution than one hundred dysfunctional ones.
Elites are necessary to marshal the requisite resources, talent, and enthusiasm to found new functional institutions and re-found old ones... Founding an institution is very hard, founding a functional one much harder, and refounding a dysfunctional one perhaps the hardest of all. The difficulty is not just technical but also political. These tasks are hard enough for elites, much less you or me, and by succeeding at them, elites help create a flourishing society that benefits everyone. Furthermore, founding important functional institutions tends to rightfully make elites of those who found them. Without elites, we would have far fewer and far less functional institutions. A society without elites would necessarily decay and get worse for everyone in it..
..It is also worth examining where elite power comes from in the first place. There are three major sources: formal positions within or proprietary knowledge of strategically relevant institutions, personal or professional connections to other elites or groups with which elites need to interact, and—simply—talent, like the “elite athlete.” When considering elites with influence on society, this usually means talent at persuasion, organizing, or strategy. It’s possible to become extremely influential in society through any of these means, but it often takes a combination of all three... A society is best thought of as an ecosystem of mutually dependent institutions. Where those institutions are abundant, well-designed, and functional, we will find a flourishing society and civilization. Where they are few, poorly designed, or dysfunctional, we will find a broken and decaying society. Throughout history, the best institutions outperform others by many orders of magnitude—functional institutions are the exception.

Furthermore, founding important functional institutions tends to rightfully make elites of those who found them. Without elites, we would have far fewer and far less functional institutions. A society without elites would necessarily decay and get worse for everyone in it..
..Elites tend to be very good at defending against attacks and at self-presentation, either publicly or interpersonally. This brings us to the second source of elite power: the ability to easily identify allies and close ranks against rivals. As with institutional position, exceptional ability can feed into this source of power...
..,It is also important to understand where the lines are drawn—who is really on whose “side,” and which disputes are more performative than substantive. This requires an ability to distinguish form from substance in complex social situations. It also means keeping track of shifting elite coalitions–people and factions change sides depending on their interests, and as new elites are introduced. Pareto emphasized the necessity of bringing in “newer and more capable elements from the underlying population” for a functional elite class...
..After identifying the interests of power, the task for those who would participate in elite circles is one of aligning with those interests...
..How are Pareto’s “newer and more capable elements from the underlying population” brought in to join the elite class? Typically, elites search for assistance from people who are, in plain language, useful. There are many ways for a rising elite to be useful...
..Since existing elites are defined by their ability to secure and maintain power, being sensitive to power dynamics is key to forming connections with them. A rising elite must possess such an understanding in order to offer useful advice or assistance to elites: if they miscalculate, they will be a liability rather than an asset. They must also demonstrate that they have the judgment and loyalty not to use any information they may be given against their elite counterpart who provided it. In other words, both the ability to provide value and demonstration of loyalty to an elite’s interest—a mutual interest—must be established for collaboration to make sense...
..Once a rising elite gets a chance to present their case, they must make sure they understand the situation and desires of the person they are interacting with...
..What kind of information would elites likely appreciate? A rising elite might identify areas of interest to the existing elite and determine what might advance their efforts. They would want to demonstrate that they have the missing piece of a larger puzzle: this may induce an existing elite to share information to see if the rising player can infer something from it that they cannot...
..Elites hold preponderant influence over society, but are not necessarily fully coordinated. There can be stray individuals, incomplete networks, or mutually competing networks that might have imperfect information about each other, possibly leading to elite conflict. A rising elite that has put in the legwork to study existing elites can be very helpful in filling in gaps of this sort by spotting elites with complementary abilities or connections... This incentive for rising elites to create greater coordination does in fact produce more coordination, thus allowing elites to spend more time cooperating and less time battling each other, with positive results for society as a whole.
..The inner workings of elite networks, whether existing or rising, are often opaque, but ripple throughout society. Only by coming to understand, empathize with, and analyze these inner workings, and by understanding these dynamics of elite behavior and strategy, can we make sense of society at all—and by engaging its real dynamics, reshape it. https://www.palladiummag.com/2020/08/19/reform-is-driven-by-rising-elites/
In Treasury's basement, fluorescent lights hummed above four young coders. Their screens cast blue light across government-issue desks, illuminating energy drink cans and agency badges. As their algorithms crawled through decades of payment data, one number kept growing: $17 billion in redundant programs. And counting.
"We're in," Akash Bobba messaged the team. "All of it."
Edward Coristine's code had already mapped three subsystems. Luke Farritor's algorithms were tracing payment flows across agencies. Ethan Shaotran's analysis revealed patterns that career officials didn't even know existed. By dawn, they would understand more about Treasury's operations than people who had worked there for decades.
This wasn't a hack. This wasn't a breach. This was authorized disruption.
While career bureaucrats prepared orientation packets and welcome memos, DOGE's team was already deep inside the payment systems. No committees. No approvals. No red tape. Just four coders with unprecedented access and algorithms ready to run.
"The beautiful thing about payment systems," noted a transition official watching their screens, "is that they don't lie. You can spin policy all day long, but money leaves a trail."
That trail led to staggering discoveries. Programs marked as independent revealed coordinated funding streams. Grants labeled as humanitarian aid showed curious detours through complex networks. Black budgets once shrouded in secrecy began to unravel under algorithmic scrutiny.
By 6 AM, Treasury's career officials began arriving for work. They found systems they thought impenetrable already mapped. Networks they believed hidden already exposed. Power structures built over decades revealed in hours.
Their traditional defenses—slow-walking decisions, leaking damaging stories, stonewalling requests—proved useless against an opponent moving faster than their systems could react. By the time they drafted their first memo objecting to this breach, three more systems had already been mapped. https://eko.substack.com/p/override

Tracking the developing US/Mexico/Drug-cartel border war: USAF Spy Jet Flies Second SIGINT Operation On US Border With Focus On Narco Hub
Eleni sends this short video comparing Jared Kushner to Hunter Biden. Jared Kushner heads a $3.5 billion investment firm, Affinity Partners, invested in by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and UAE, with the intent to invest Arab nations in Israel, and a stated interest in developing Gaza commercially, rather than in the interests of Palestinians.
This could reflect the note passed to Trump, reportedly from Kushner, about the America-owning-Gaza scheme, as well as Trump blurting out that "everybody likes the plan", which is not a national position of any Arab country.
This is a closed investment vehicle until summer of 2026, which would facilitate one-big-project in that time, but does not exclude other investment approaches.
