An evil man will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes. – Sun Tzu
Après moi, le déluge – Louis XV
What I think we see happening in the past few years, and you can go back as far back as you like and look for the signs, is that the American elites, plus their UK brethren (the EU are just followers), have shifted towards an attitude of “if we can’t control the world, we will set it on fire”. That’s the light in which I think you need to see Ukraine and Gaza, as well as their upcoming move vs China. Ukraine is vs Russia, Gaza is vs Iran, the fight vs China might be Taiwan. That’s their three main goals, and they may well be intent on tackling them all at once. After all, what do you have to lose if you want to set the world on fire?
There are no American losses in all this, just some old equipment “sold” to countries, paid for by American and European taxpayers. No American soldiers or civilians are lost, well, at least officially, only Ukrainians and Palestinians (and soon, Taiwanese?). Even if there are 500,000 of them, the US doesn’t care. The term “collateral damage“ was invented for just this occasion. And they intend to cause much more of it. Already, we see Boeing expanding its arms production facilities. Raytheon and General Dynamics et al are sure to follow suit, soon. That is money. That is our future. We’re gearing up for war. They’re going to burn it all down for profit.
Ukraine, since 2014 (or before, if you will) has been the first test case. Gaza is the second. They lost Ukraine in humiliating fashion. So bad, in fact, that they still won’t admit defeat. Instead, they have people in Kiev saying the conflict will take another 5 years. As there are hardly 5 weeks of cannon-fodder soldiers left there, and their average age is 45. Did the US miscalculate the strength of the Russian army or did they just not care?
I’d go for both. The situation there, they can blame Zelensky and other Ukrainians for the losses. Anyone but DC. “They don’t understand the “sophisticated” US armory, they don’t understand the “sophisticated” US/NATO battle plans, they just die. We had no idea. We thought they were as smart as us, or something.” They will get rid of Zelensky, send him either to Monaco or Elysium, and bring in probably Zaluzhny. Though why would he want the job? To be painted a loser?
In the middle East, they have Netanyahu doing their bidding. And while they’re prodding him for more corpses, they tell you they’re trying to stop, or pause, Bibi, but “he’s gone berserk”. Well, the US cares as much about Palestinians as they do about Ukrainians. And they’d care exactly as much about Americans if there were no homefront or no elections. Which they’re pretty close to cancelling as well.
Bibi’s been dreaming about the position he’s in today for 50 years. He doesn’t care about people, or bloodshed, or dead children, he’s seeing his life long dream come true: get rid of all Palestinians. Create the promised land. This is not the world of the 1970’s, however. But Bibi doesn’t see that. He only sees his old dream. And the US elites are more than happy to help him try to achieve it. Because it means profits. And sure, also because there’s a large, and very powerful Jewish lobby in US politics. Who are as blind to today’s world as he is.
It suits the guys behind the curtain very well, thank you, that everyone blames Bibi for the atrocities in Gaza, and they never get mentioned. But he’s a puppet the same way Zelensky is, Want to kill -young- people? Here’s your tools. Our taxpayers already paid the bill.
In the US, UK, EU, the idea is that if you have enough firepower, you can do anything. What they missed, is that they no longer have that kind of firepower. Or, rather, they do, but the other side, Russia,Iran etc., has five times as much by now.
Meanwhile, the US elites have set Europe on a road to perdition. Helped along by agents such as von der Leyen, Michel and Borrell, they managed to completely destroy the continent’s future. In just 2-3 years. Remarkable. Europe could still be part of a multipolar world, but they don’t make their own decisions. Europe buys American LNG at 3-4 times what it would cost on the world market, and they refuse to say a single word about the US blowing up the vital Nordstream pipelines. No future.
So what future does the rest of the world have? Well, with the US dead-set on setting it on fire if they can’t control it, that is not an easy question. In any “conversation” where one of the parties is suicidal, odds are off. Should we move to Russia?

“if we can’t control the world, we will set it on fire”. Yep. I recognized this sometime ago and commented the same on this site.
Yep, I wrote it in 2020 in a ZH comment, I called it “poison all the wells” (a/k/a scorched earth approach).
Biden prefers his own tactic using gas cans.
Bankers are the tools of Satan and money is their WMD….same as it always was.
“In the early 1930s, bankers, the only source of new money and credit, deliberately refused loans to industries, stores and farms. Payments on existing loans were required however, and money rapidly disappeared from circulation. Goods were available to be purchased, jobs waiting to be done, but the lack of money brought the nation to a standstill.
By this simple ploy America was put in a “depression” and bankers took possession of hundreds of thousands of farms, homes, and business properties. The people were told, “times are hard” and “money is short.” Not understanding the system, they were cruelly robbed of their earnings, their savings, and their property.
World War II ended the “depression.” The same Bankers who in the early 1930’s had no loans for peacetime houses, food and clothing, suddenly had unlimited billions to lend for army barracks, K-rations and uniforms.
A nation that in 1934 could not produce food for sale, suddenly could produce bombs to send free to Germany and Japan! (More on this riddle later).
With the sudden increase in money, people were hired, farms sold their produce, factories went to two shifts, mines reopened, and “The Great Depression” was over!
Some politicians were blamed for it and others took credit for ending it. The truth is the lack of money (caused by Bankers) brought on the depression, and adequate money ended it. The people were never told that simple truth and in this article we will endeavor to show how these same bankers who control our money and credit have used their control to plunder America and place us in bondage.”

Some form of this will be used to ” Reset ” and bring about CBDC
and during this ‘depression’ in the US Germany was thriving, what had Germany
done differently ? they booted out the central bank and created their own money
interest free, such a simple solution…….
What everyone overlooks in that time period is the 1934 National firearms Act, Smedley Butler and the “Business Plot” and how he turned them down and tried to out the conspiracy, and the nearly simultaneous creation of the Federal Reserve system. America came close to collapse 90 years ago and were seeing the rhyming repetition again today.
Americans no longer have a representative government…if we ever did.
So , its bad if Russia does it but its O.K. if Israel / US do it ……. derp.
BLOWBACK = the excuse to go after IRAN
Sooner or later.
“They don’t understand the “sophisticated” US armory, they don’t understand the “sophisticated” US/NATO battle plans, they just die. We had no idea. We thought they were as smart as us, or something.”
That’s why I’ve been reading Raul’s writing for several years, his mastery of the turn of phrase. He paints a picture of the US elites that is perfectly descriptive, IMO.
” Europe buys American LNG at 3-4 times what it would cost on the world market, and they refuse to say a single word about the US blowing up the vital Nordstream pipelines. ”
Americans now pay that inflated price for LNG as well, since the export price justifies the increases in the price on the domestic market. The idiots causing this kind of chaos are doing so deliberately and with a total disregard for those being harmed.
Check the puppetmasters for all these mammon pwnd useful idiots .It’s chozenites all the way down.
IOW, it’s the Jew bankers who control the LNG flow and get the profits.
Judeo-Evangitards will find this map offensive…no doubt.
I can’t help but feel that this article is grossly myopic. Countries are not entities unto themselves. Countries are corporations and are controlled by their owners. The US government does not generate their own policies, the US government does as it is instructed to do. If any are in doubt of this fact, look to how ALL countries did the same things during the corona virus hoax. Furthermore, the powers that be are not loosing control of the world such that they would want to burn it down, they are only adjusting their grip. They are firmly in control of this place.
Nope. The “owners” can be politicians, corporate bosses, whatever, but they aren’t in control of anything. They simply re-adjust their press agents to make it appear to the ignorant, that they (the narcissistic sociopath “leaders”) are “winning.” They are not adjusting their grip — not even they believe their own BS when it comes to “ruling” anything, they just keep distracting the populace with their actions. Don’t confuse distraction with control — just because some (many) people “follow” these reptiles, the only place the reptiles can go is over the edge. True, some (many) people will follow the reptiles over the edge, but notice that the reptiles can’t do anything genuinely creative or productive, they can just “lead” people to disaster. And they are happy to do it, the reptiles — because this way they “win” in their actions, by destroying everything that fed them in the first place. Which takes us back to the the idea that they’ll burn the whole world down in their ignorance and stupidity. It’s not that they *want* to burn the world down — it’s just that they’re not capable of anything else.
Bill, did you not think that the corona hoax was illustrative of both a high degree of global control as well as creativity in its genesis and execution?
Ryan, d0 you not think that the blowback against “two weeks to flatten the curve” and the resulting “non-cooperation” of a great number of human beings (some of them in this forum) shows how not “genius” the hoax was? How long did it take for the blowback to start?
Genius is not about controlling or convincing the sheep to follow you. A dumb but obedient dog can control the sheep. Genius is being able to get the lion to do your bidding.
Time for a ham sandwich.
“Collateral” damage
Collateral is an asset or form of physical wealth that the borrower owns like house, livestock, vehicle etc. It is against these assets that the banks provide loans to the borrower. The collateral serves as a security measure for the lender.
Who is the lender and who is borrower? Can the “collateral” be lender or borrower? If the “collateral” is the borrower and the “collateral “ is himself, what is this but servitude? And if your self is presented as “collateral” in a sacrifice ritual unto death, what did you borrow in exchange for your demise, and what value did the banker exchange for your death?
Can my possessions be collateralized without my consent?

Gad, wouldn’t chattel/livestock count as collateral? Like another recent article floating around recently said, governments and our betters simply view us and the other populations as animals on their tax farms. “Collateral damage” is simply newspeak for when they lose human resources they didn’t plan on losing. One might even expect that the corporation might have some sort of insurance policy on this property.
Yes, your possessions belong to the government, at least to the degree that they think they own you, and have “civil asset forfeiture” rights to your rightful property. The government steals more property though CAF every year than all “criminals” combined.
So Joe, when will your son be going to jail for drug offenses and have all his assets seized?
On a side note Gad, am I seeing a lot of crossover to TTAG? Just saying this because I like the comments over there too 😉 Might be an echo chamber or something, lol.
What is ttag?
got it
What difference will it make when nuclear weapons start being used as a last result? No one wins. Sadly, the West for some reason believes nuclear weapons will now a war? Or at least they are peddling the idea.
The City of London is the front for world financial control…the real power lives in Geneva.

The thesis of this article is and has been correct for at least the last decade.
“Fact Check
Claim: Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu said “An evil man will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes.”
Description: A widely shared quote on social media attributes the claim ‘An evil man will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes.’ to the Chinese philosopher and military strategist, Sun Tzu. The phrase is often attributed to Sun Tzu’s work ‘The Art of War’, a cornerstone of military strategy.
Rating: Misattributed
Rating Explanation: Research by TruthOrFiction.com, as well as an in-depth look into the writings of Sun Tzu and ‘The Art of War’, confirm that the quote ‘An evil man will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes.’ is not present in any of Sun Tzu’s known works. The phrase only began to circulate on social media in late 2020 and early 2021, thousands of years after Sun Tzu’s lifetime. David G. Jones, a researcher and author on Sun Tzu’s writings, has marked this quote as misattributed to Sun Tzu.”
Maybe it was mumbled by a guy named Joe on his way to the shitter.
