New US “National Security Strategy”: by Brian Berletic, and my thoughts and analysis—“Stop giving the benefit of the doubt to the West; stop the hopium and believing in this kabuki theater.”

The statements, views and opinions expressed in this column are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of this site. This site does not give financial, investment or medical advice. I highly recommend this video, which I quote here since he touches on something I want to discuss. I almost entirely agree with Brian Berletic’s video, since I wrote before that my views are closest to those of Brian Berletic and John Helmer, who in my opinion are the best geopolitical analysts. I like them and respect them very much because they are among the few geopolitical analysts who do not have a childish view and analysis of picking sides and pretending that the side you are supporting is perfect. Acknowledging the problems of the side you are supporting is really something we are lacking in most people’s analysis. I would like to write here about my analysis and how, in my opinion, we should look at things. I love The Duran, but even they get grabbed by hopium and give too much of the benefit of the doubt to the West, especially Alexander. I respect Alexander very highly and I have praised him for his views he now expresses about socialism. But Alexander is very highly educated, and high education is simply brain rot, reinforced by him moving in elite circles. Because of this, his mind is not open to the reality of the world, and he is the one most gripped by hopium. I already wrote before that Alexander’s talk about “there could not be a bigger plan behind all of this” really disappoints me. On the other hand, Alex is more open-minded, which allows him to be more open to the reality of the world. Alex recently used a perfect description of the new US National Security Strategy, saying that it is “franchising the empire.” This perfectly describes what is happening right now, while Alexander was trying to hopium himself into believing that America is accepting multipolarity. Don’t get me wrong, the difference between Alex and Alexander is what makes their program so great. It would not be so good if they had literally the same views and just nodded to each other at their statements. Now let’s get to what I want to touch on.   Franchising the empire I will use here a quote from a video of Brian Berletic. 24:03 I saw The Wall Street Journal talking about how the National Security Strategy no longer sees China and Russia as threats. I mean, even the little that I’ve read here, you can clearly see that that’s not true. And its harshest criticism has been on Europe. We see European leaders coming out and saying, “We’re not your enemy. Russia and China are your enemy.” This is all propaganda. This is all rhetoric. And the purpose of this rhetoric is to convince, especially the European public, that the United States is abandoning Europe and siding with Russia, maybe even siding with China, forcing Europe to divert huge sums of its own national resources to now confronting and containing Russia, possibly even China. Where does this come from? This comes from Secretary Hegset all the way back in February. This is what he told Europe to do. He’s talking about how Europe needs to: Vastly expand donations of ammunition and equipment. Expand their defense industrial base. Level with your citizens about the threat facing Europe. So, what threat faces Europe? What is Secretary Hegset talking about? He’s obviously talking about Russia. And then it says, “Part of this is speaking frankly with your people about how this threat can only be met by spending more on defense.” Unless you convince the European public that the US is no longer going to support Europe—that Europe has been left to the wolves and they need to make these sacrifices on their own—they will never agree to it. If you told them the truth: “The US wants us to fight their proxy war for them because they don’t want to become overextended. They would rather pass the costs on to us and have us assume all of the risks and consequences. And they want to pivot to Asia and also have proxies over there confront China on their behalf.” The European people would say, “No, we’re not doing that. That doesn’t make sense at all.“ But if Secretary Hegset and the rest of the US establishment tells Europe, “Tell your people that they have to do this,” we will make it convincing. We will create the illusion that Europe is under a significant threat. Threats facing Europe. Then you can convince them to give up public programs and to redivert funding to military-industrial production, spending 5% of your GDP on NATO, and expanding this senseless confrontation with Russia. And the United States gets to excuse itself from responsibility for this proxy war it is waging against Russia. This is very obvious. This is very clear what they’re doing. Secretary Hegset spelled it out here, and now, through this burden-sharing network, they are expanding this concept and defining it in greater detail. I will read it again: “This strategic clarity will allow the United States to counter hostile and subversive influences effectively.” Which hostile and subversive influences do you think they’re talking about? Do you think they’re talking about gingivitis or heart disease? Or do you think they’re talking about Russia, China, Iran, and any other nation that refuses to subordinate itself to American primacy? Which do you think it is? In my opinion, this is a perfect analysis, and I would like to touch on what Brian is talking about here. To understand what is really happening, we need to understand that there is a bigger picture and a bigger plan, and that all we are watching is kabuki theater. In my recent post, I described my analysis of “great-power politics,” and this “division of labor” or “burden-sharing network” is what Alex perfectly encapsulated as “franchising the empire.” In my “great-power politics” analysis in my recent post, I explained how America was behind this war in Ukraine, and that it was all to make sure a Europe–China–Russia alliance could not be formed and to ensure that Europe would be weakened and remain a vassal of America. Now that America has achieved this, it is moving to the next step. Stopping this Europe–China–Russia alliance and weakening Europe came at the cost of pushing China and Russia closer to each other, and now, with Europe established as its vassal, America can start the fight for dominance of the world. In my recent post, I also explained how thinking that America didn’t want this war in Ukraine — when America was the one stopping the export of Russian gas to Europe, which was the basis of cooperation between the West and Russia — is stupid. Here we have another great example. We have Secretary Hegset saying, “Part of this is speaking frankly with your people about how this threat can only be met by spending more on defense.” I have already written many times about this: what is a threat to Europe? Should Europe be afraid and arm itself because it is threatened by North African states invading Europe? No. So what is he talking about? Russia — but everyone with a working brain knows that Russia will not invade Europe. Yet, despite knowing this, Hegset is telling Europe that it is threatened and needs to arm itself at the cost of the well-being of its own population. For goodness’ sake, America was pushing Europe to spend more on the military even during Trump’s first term, while Europe was not threatened militarily by anyone. So if America pushes increased military spending on Europe when Europe is not threatened by anyone, it does so because it wants to later use that European military for the benefit of the American empire. How can someone argue with a straight face that America wants peace and good relations with Russia when, at the same time, America is demanding increased military spending from Europe and telling Europe that it is threatened by Russia? Kabuki theater Now, understanding the reality of the situation – that America wants war — we can move on to the analysis of the kabuki theater being presented to us. Here comes psychological manipulation and Hegelian dialectics, which I have mentioned many times in my posts. Understanding that there is a bigger plan behind the kabuki theater we are presented with, and that America wants war, we can now try to understand how they want to achieve it. I will quote a fragment from Brian that I cited earlier: But if Secretary Hegset and the rest of the US establishment tell Europe, ‘Tell your people that they have to do this,’ we will make it convincing. We will create the illusion that Europe is under a significant threat… Convincing Europe that it is threatened by Russia is only one part. If Europeans felt protected by America, they would not be willing to sacrifice their own well-being to increase military spending. That is why America is creating an illusion of division between Europe and America. Only if the European population is scared enough of Putin and believes that America is leaving them to the wolves will they be frightened enough to give up the well-being of their citizens in order to increase military spending out of fear. America is behind this war, and all this warmongering by European elites is not going against America; instead, it is exactly what America wants. All European elites are traitors and American assets and tools, and they are doing exactly what America wants them to do. Do you really think “BlackRock Merz” is going against America? Do you think he is acting in the interests of Germany and German elites, or in the interests of American elites and BlackRock? If Secretary Hegset tells Europeans that they need to convince the European population that they are threatened and that Europe needs to spend more on the military and be willing to send troops to Ukraine, then when you hear a French general saying that French people need to be “prepared to lose children,” do you think he is doing it for the benefit of French people, or because Secretary Hegset told them to do so and demanded it from them? Secretary Hegset literally says Europeans need to be ready to send European troops to Ukraine, and then people memory-hole this. Later, they hear a French general saying that French people need to be “prepared to lose children,” and they think this general came up with this stupid idea by himself and does not connect the dots. All this European warmongering is done at the demand of Americans by American puppets, which constitute the entire European elite. This supposed division between Europe and America exists only so that people in Europe believe that America will not protect them. That fear is meant to scare them enough to be willing to spend more on the military at the cost of the well-being of their citizens. Merkel’s faction previously opposed increased military spending because she understood that Europe is not threatened militarily by anyone. Again, what North African states are going to invade Europe? You can only claim Europe faces a military threat if you assume Russia will attack Europe, which is complete bullshit. The Merkel faction understood that Europe was not threatened and did not need to spend more on the military, while the American neocon faction was pushing military spending on Europe. But simply scaring Europeans with “big, bad, evil Russia and Putin” was not enough as long as they felt protected by America. So you not only need to create fear of “big, bad, evil Russia and Putin” in Europeans, but also convince them that America will not protect them, in order to scare them enough to sacrifice their well-being for increased military spending. Another piece of bullshit I often hear is that America was intervening in the Middle East on behalf of Europe. First of all, Germany and France refused to help the Americans in the second Iraq war, which proves they did not want this war. I explained that this was partially because Hussein started selling oil denominated in euros instead of dollars, hoping Europe would protect him from America if it had material incentives to do so — but Europe failed. More importantly, Europe is the second-largest energy importer after China, while America is the largest energy exporter. Any war in the Middle East results in increased energy prices, which hurt China and Europe the most and benefit America the most. Europe already has serious problems with energy prices. Do you really think Europe wants war in Venezuela or another war in the Middle East that would further increase energy prices and screw Europe even more? And who benefits most from increased energy prices caused by war in Venezuela or the Middle East? America, the largest energy exporter. Both China and Europe, as the largest energy importers, want stable energy prices and peace in the Middle East because they are hit hardest by increases in oil prices. Media, NGOs, and Control Col. Larry Wilkerson admitted, I think even on the Glenn Diesen program, that the second war in Iraq scared the shit out of America because Germany and France refused to help the Americans. He explains how, since then, they started implanting their puppets within European elites, making sure that Europe would never again refuse to do what America demanded of them. This is why we had the famous case of Merkel, representing a European faction, being spied on by the NSA. U.S. spied on Merkel and other Europeans through Danish cables – broadcaster DR The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) used a partnership with Denmark’s foreign intelligence unit to spy on senior officials of neighbouring countries, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Danish state broadcaster DR said. America surveilled European elites and tried to replace them with puppets they created themselves, as Col. Larry Wilkerson explains. So when you see all those warmongers in Europe, remember that they are not Europeans — they are American agents. If they were hand-picked by Americans and put into positions by Americans, do you really think they would go against America? All this supposed division between Europe and America makes no sense if you understand that European leaders are simply American puppets. Once you understand this, it becomes clear that this is all one big kabuki theater designed to manipulate European populations and convince them that America will not defend them, so they have to sacrifice their own well-being in order to be safe. There was also a great interview on the Glenn Diesen show with Patrik Baab, based on which I also wanted to write a post, since he mentioned Antonio Gramsci’s theory of cultural hegemony, which I have written about before. I also used a previous Patrik Baab video on the Glenn Diesen program in one of my posts. 32:27 And so we, as peace-loving people, we lost—according to Antonio Gramsci—public or cultural hegemony. We lost it completely, and we have to get it back. So we have to fight for it in public discussions; that is the way of doing it.   24:35 I did want to ask you about the NGOs, though. How do you see them working into this media picture? For me, they have been my main opponent here. The vast majority of smears against me comes from NGOs—that is, NGOs financed by the CIA/National Endowment for Democracy and, of course, my own government as well—who do everything from smear pieces to posting pictures of my house. There are no limits anymore, really, including canceling speaking events. How do you see NGOs working in with the media here? In Germany alone, according to a new study, we have more than 300 so-called non-government organizations which are actually paid by the government. I have to call them Government Organized Non-Government Organizations (GONGOs) . Their purpose is to frame reality and to bring into the public a propaganda. These so-called non-government organizations are structured to bring everybody under fire who refuses to follow the narratives of the government and NATO. That’s the job. But we don’t have to deal with only these more than 300 non-government organizations. They are embedded in a broader scale of ideological apparatuses: Schools Universities Churches Think Tanks Media They all are working in the same direction. And so these ideological apparatuses have a goal to make sure that the population is following the market economy and the rules of the state. They have to create credibility. And today in these NGOs, universities, and think tanks, young academics are showing up. These young academics will be employed as freelancers. They will have timely limited contracts of a year or two years or three years, or it’s a kind of project-based working. So it’s an academic precariat, and these people are in a very unsure, very liberalized working situation, and they will do everything what they are told by their bosses to get a new contract. So on this level, on the working level, we have a broad group of academics which are making money by framing reality and spreading propaganda. But this propaganda is implemented by corrupted transatlantic elites. If you want to make a career—to manage a career in Germany today on a higher level—you have to be linked to transatlantic organizations like the German Marshall Fund or Young Global Leaders (many organizations) or the foundations of Mr. Soros. Now we see in Germany that the Heritage Foundation, which is close to President Trump, tries to get influence on German parties, especially the AFD. So these transatlantic apparatuses are working, and you have to see that on a broader level, the media, the young journalists are not alone. They are embedded in a broader level of ideological apparatuses, and I would say we are facing a broad propaganda and censorship complex—a censorship industry. Do you really naively think that only Ukrainian media are controlled by NGOs financed by the CIA and the National Endowment for Democracy? Do you really think, for example, that German elites control German media? It is all controlled from Washington through the CIA, the National Endowment for Democracy, and other NGOs. So if German and other European media are controlled from Washington, how can there be any division between Europe and America? There is no division, and this is all one big kabuki theater. But of course, highly educated people—in other words, people with brain rot who move in elite circles—say there is no kabuki theater and that this division is real. I don’t like Chomsky because, as I wrote before in my posts, he was a controlled opposition. But sometimes he says something smart, and here is a short clip: That is why this The Duran forum I am writing on now is blocked in Poland, and I am not able to access it on my phone without using a proxy site. It is because I am telling the truth, and you are not supposed to tell the truth. Before, they were able to filter out truth-tellers through the structure described by Patrik Baab as a “propaganda and censorship complex—a censorship industry,” controlled by NGOs financed by the CIA and the National Endowment for Democracy. People like me, who are not controlled, did not have a voice before. That is why I never wanted to become a journalist and have a career, because if I wanted a career, I would be forced to accept lies, which I am not willing to do. That is why I prefer to write for free in my free time and to not become popular or famous, because that is the only way I can be true to myself and say what I really think.   Thanks to everyone who stuck with me until the end of my post.
