Issue 88: Gods of War Part 1

Vlad and Rex

Those, my friends are the words of a mighty man willing to go toe-to-toe with one of the Gods of War, Vladimir Putin. Apparently, the Joe Biden version of going toe-to-toe means the use of the dreaded sanctions, a fate that will only encourage Putin to take over all of Eastern Europe.

But what is even more sad is that the average American could not begin to articulate even the most recent history as it pertains to the affairs between countries within Europe and certainly not between those in the Baltic region. Luckily for the average American the forces at play over the last 7 or so years have been key in terms of the long-term stability for the United States and its relationship with friends and foes alike (current events not withstanding). 

Sanctions have been and will always be the military industrial complex version of “we approve” of war because sanctions serve no functional purpose whatsoever. The below section from the “technology access” sanctions is laughable and those that drafted it already knew this to be the case because they are designed to have no teeth.

Doesn’t anyone really believe Putin cares in the slightest about these stupid sanctions? The license sanctions has more exceptions than actual sanctions and are we really supposed to buy that smartphone exports intended for the non-government employees won’t get into the hands of government employees? My goodness how stupid do you have to be to believe that?

To say the Biden foreign policy has been like watching a bull in a china shop would be an insult to bulls the world over. What we watched ensue in Afghanistan is of course, unparalleled in terms of the magnitude of failure but has acted as a trigger for things to come. But I don’t want to get into a diatribe about the incompetence of the Biden administration versus the Trump administration because that would just be stating something everyone else is stating and we all know that is old news. Thinking that Putin invaded Ukraine merely because Joe Biden is weak is to miss the entire purpose of current events. 

Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump have much bigger fish to fry and almost none of it has to do with Joe Biden or anyone in his circles. In fact, as I have said for almost 13 months now, making sure Joe Biden was installed as the 46th President was critical to making sure the events we see transpiring now were able to go off without a hitch.  But past is prologue, and I must say I am struck that some of what I will state in this issue has been covered by almost nobody that I can see…that is surprising.

First, let’s hear from the lips of Putin himself.

You could close your eyes, replace Russia for the United States and swear you were listening to Ronald Reagan, JFK, or Donald Trump defend their country from the growing threat of the globalists. Have we not all witnessed firsthand the absurd amounts of corruption and incompetence within NATO? Do we not think Putin can see what we all see which is the deep amounts of blood money exchanging hands between Ukraine, the Obama administration, and more specifically the Biden crime family?

It is so critical that we invert our way of thinking about the battle being waged. Don’t think of this battle in the way you think of a domestic battle, such as the 2020 election. Yes, there are some of the same players, but the chess pieces are very different and are being played for very different reasons. The public discourse is dramatically different than the private arrangement. For example, read this…

That is the type of leaked “private” conversation that either was represented by a friendly paper (NY Post) to make Trump look strong or it never took place at all and was made up by design for precisely the same reason. Either way, it was purely meant to paint a ‘peace through strength’ narrative about Trump.

So, with that as a backdrop, what the heck is and/or was going on during the Trump administration? 

Well, the term “follow the money” is indeed some good guidance but in the case of Donald Trump he “hired the money” very early on and this caught the attention and, in some cases probably shocked leaders like Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. So, what does it mean to “hire the money?” Well, there are rare times when foreign policy can be driven by leveraging the resources of one man. A man whose sole purpose was to help Donald Trump gain all the leverage possible and then become the sacrificial lamb. What most thought was the biggest “square peg / round hole” nominations ever but may go down in history as the one that tipped the global scales. 

President Trump put forth Rex Tillerson for confirmation as Secretary of State.

Think about the following article from the perspective of current events…

A couple key dates that we will touch on in more detail later:

• March 12, 2018:House Intelligence Committee closesRussia-Trump investigation with no evidence of collusion.

• March 13, 2018: Trump fires Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State.

The fact that Trump fired Tillerson the day after the House Intelligence Committee declared “no collusion” is far from a coincidence. Tillerson had served his purpose and that was the plan from the beginning. The one year that Tillerson served was meant to fortify many years of already established relationships with the Russian government and to perform knowledge transfer to make sure those relationships stay intact.

• 2006 – Rex Tillerson was selected to succeed Lee Raymond as CEO of Exxon Mobil

• In his book Private Empire: ExxonMobil and American Power, Steve Coll elaborates on Rex Tillerson was hired specifically because of his close relationship with Russia. 

• 2011 – Vladimir Putin attends the signing ceremony for the Exxon deal with Russian energy giant Rosneft.

• 2012 – Igor Sechin, a close ally of Putin and chairman of Rosneft, hailed the partnership as a “giant leap forward” and argued it’s “more ambitious than man’s first walk in space or sending a man to the moon.”

• 2013 – Vladimir Putin awarded ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson the “Order of Friendship,” one of the highest honors Russia gives to foreign citizens.

Tillerson himself seemed hopeful that the Exxon deal could lead to even closer ties between the two countries. “It cannot be anything but helpful to broadening the relationship between the American people and the Russian people,” Tillerson said at the time. But once again, in 2014 the US energy sector (including Exxon) was hit hard by a round of U.S. and European Union sanctions that targeted Russia for its intervention in Ukraine. Exxon says it lost nearly $1 billion as a result of the sanctions.

You know what?That call that Trump had with Zelensky was fascinating. Trump called it the “perfect” call which of course infuriated all sorts of people on both sides that he would even imply such a thing. It’s important that we reacquaint ourselves with the content of that call. As I reread this transcript, I cannot help but become more and more convinced that what is taking place between Russia and Ukraine has absolutely nothing to do with some weak narrative that Vladimir Putin is somehow attempting to reconstruct the old Soviet Union. Let’s take a look at this call, once again with a perspective that considers the current situation in Ukraine.

I always find it interesting when analyzing the speech pattern of Donald Trump when he uses certain words that appear generic in nature it’s a dead giveaway that not only are they not generic, but he knows precisely whom “they” are and what’s more is he knows what “they” are up to.

…they say CrowdStrike…

…they say Ukraine has it….

…they say a lot of it started with Ukraine…

This is loose talk designed to give the media some talking points that “here’s corrupt Trump trying to influence a foreign president.”

“They” is code for “I already know, and I already have a plan being executed.” This call had the exact same characteristics of the Trump / Raffensperger on the 10,000+ votes in Georgia that Trump was asking Brad to please do the right thing and account for them. 

So, the key question in the case of the Trump / Zelensky call is who is “they?”

A few key dates to keep in mind:

1.July 23rd, 2019 – DNC / CrowdStrike Refusal

2.July25th, 2019–Trump / Zelensky Call

So here we are almost 3 years later and sure enough “here come the Russians” and I’ll be damned if CrowdStrike isn’t coming along for the ride once again. CEO, George Kurtz is all but guaranteeing a full-scale cyber takedown of the U.S. banking system. Just like Joe Biden was all but guaranteeing the Russian invasion of the Ukraine. Is George Kurtz a modern-day cyber prophet or Nostradamus? 

I guess I have some important questions…?? 

How is it possible that Rex Tillerson could be confirmed when his personal and business conflicts of interest with Russia were so very obvious? (he received a “friendship award” from Vladimir Putin himself)

Why would the senate confirm as Secretary of State a man with absolutely no experience whatsoever in either foreign affairs or geo-political policy? If the “Trump Colluded with Russia” narrative was in full swing during Tillerson’s entire tenure, why was he never even remotely a focus of the investigation?

Why would Trump fire Tillerson precisely one day after congress claims no collusion?

Why does CrowdStrike keep popping up as the cyber and endpoint security expert? What about the other big players? Do we not care what they have to say?

Who else (besides the Clintons) is doing business with CrowdStrike?

So, who holds the answers? As usual, people are looking in the wrong places which is likely by design.
