James Corbett exposes the greatest psyop ever pulled: the left-right / Democrat-Republican divide and the hopium around Trump — the new Obama.

Once again, we’re getting a dose of hopium about Trump – people see what they wish were true instead of accepting what is actually true. I’ve already compared Trump to Obama using Rudolf Hess’s “Oath to Adolf Hitler” from 1934:

“Do not seek Adolf Hitler with your mind. You will find him through the strength of your hearts!”

=

“Do not seek Obama with your mind. You will find him through the strength of your hearts!”

=

“Do not seek Trump with your mind. You will find him through the strength of your hearts!”

:

This can be reframed as

“Do not seek X with your mind.”

In other words: don’t think, don’t use critical thinking.

“You will find X through the strength of your hearts!”

In other words: believe, have hope and faith – in short, hopium.

Here is a fragment from the main video with James Corbett:

4:03

Right, and yeah, you put this in the right context because, as anyone who was alive at the time remembers, 2008 was “hope and change” Obama. He’s the Obama Messiah, he’s going to change the world. And for people who don’t remember that, I have some representative sample clips in my “brief history of hopium” episode, where I show some of the absolute insanity, frothing-at-the-mouth insanity, that surrounded Obama at the time. I don’t think people remember that these days. But yeah, there were people literally comparing him to Jesus, Superman, all this stuff, just absolute craziness.

But yeah, and to, you know, to a certain extent, it’s understandable why people get worked up like this, because out of dark times, out of craziness, here comes someone who’s speaking my language, who’s telling me what I want to hear. Yes, great. And the real genius of all this is that, over at least the past century of the refinement of the techniques of propaganda, by which they sell you presidential candidates like they sell tubes of toothpaste, they have learned the lesson not to promise too many specifics, not to get too much bogged down in the details of what this actually means. That’s why the brilliance of Obama’s “hope and change” campaign was literally just the words “hope” and “change.” “I like hope, I’m for change, that must be me.” And then people will project anything they want onto those words and then support it. And then, once you get people to buy into a political candidate with their identity, then it’s game over, because that person can then do anything. And as Trump remarked, I believe, in his first administration, “I could shoot someone in broad daylight on Fifth Avenue and might still have my supporters,” and it’s absolutely true, as I think we can all understand right now.

So look, I’m going to be the pooper for people who are on that particular “hope and change” bandwagon at the moment. Um, but I’m going to do it in the smartest way I can, because the very people who need to hear the argument against the “hope and change” narrative, at least at this moment, are the ones who are going to be least inclined to listen to anything that I have to say, or anyone else has to say on this. In the exact same way, if you were in 2008-9 saying, “You guys don’t get it, Obama is not your friend, this is not going to work out well,” might as well be talking to a brick wall. No one wants to hear it, no one’s going to listen. They’re going to defend their hero, and eventually, after four years, after eight years, a decade, two decades down the road, people might be able to look back and go, “Yeah, it wasn’t quite what was promised, but you know, we tried our best.”

So, I’m going to try to give people an out, the people who have bought into Trump “Trump and change” and who really think this is wonderful and everything’s happening. I’m going to give you the out you’re going to need in order to do the mental calculation in your head that you were right, and you were right all along, even when you were wrong, you were right. And here’s the out. The out is, you know, you guys are right, Trump is—his heart is made of gold, and he bleeds red, white, and blue, and he loves you guys and wants to take care of you, and that’s why he’s doing all this. He took a bullet in the ear for you. He is there. He is God’s chosen messenger on this planet. He loves you. He does everything out of the purity of spirit that we all know is such an integral part of the being that is Donald Trump, that has manifested himself in this world to be our guide and savior. Yes, you are right about all of that, 100%.

 

But, and here’s the but—you know there’s a but coming—but unfortunately, somehow, Trump has been convinced by these outside people and forces. He’s got some bad people trying to get into the seat of power, you know how these things happen. And those bad people are going to take advantage of the beautiful, pure, unadulterated awesomeness that is Donald Trump, and they’re going to use his administration for bad things. So, when bad things start to result from all of this, don’t worry, you were right, you were right all along. Trump is great. It’s wonderful that you supported him, but unfortunately, it’s not going to work out for you.

So, now that I put it in that context, now we can start talking about things like Elon Musk, the technocratic hustler, who is literally doing exactly what the World Economic Forum and all of those stooges, Bilderberg, and everyone else has been talking about for years now, which is rebuilding trust in government. Now, I hope people really understand what that phrase means. Because you might think, “Oh, rebuilding trust in government,” when Klaus Schwab goes up there and says, “You know, we need to rebuild trust in government,” he’s talking in that old Biden paradigm, it was all the demon rats and all those types of characters, right? He wants to get people to trust in Harris or whoever the next, you know, Democrat savior is. But Trump’s the wrecking ball, and he’s changing all of that. No, no, the real way that you rebuild trust in government is you take some paper tiger that you created out of nothing, like say, the woke transgender bathroom hysteria nonsense debates. “Oh my God, this is the heart of the New World Order, guys. The entire system of control that’s been erected over generations, centuries, millennia, has all been about DEI woke transgender bathroom policies, and now Trump’s getting rid of that. Therefore, you can trust government again, guys, and you can be on board with government and what they’re doing.” And look, Elon Musk has gotten rid of the “woke” stuff. Well, okay, he’s kind of moved it into the State Department, and the CIA is going to continue doing whatever they do, but don’t worry about that, guys, trust in your government. Yes, they’re going to do this.

And here’s the real—the devil in the details—how are they going to do this? How are they going to audit all of these different agencies and make their cuts? And finally, they’re getting rid of all this government waste, yay! By bringing in the tech guys, the tech gurus, with their technocratic knowledge to put the AI algorithms to work on the payment system at the US Treasury and other such things. Get rid of humans, put more algorithms in charge, and 19-year-olds who are programming the algorithms at the behest of people like Elon Musk. Don’t worry about those details. Anyway, what we need is to rebuild trust in government by erecting a technocracy and being ruled over by the AI algorithms. And hey, wouldn’t you know it, Joe Rogan was just a few weeks ago just talking to a guest, you know, “It’s pretty crazy, but I think the AI will do a better job of running the country than politicians. It’s where it’s going.” This is being seeded into the public consciousness right now.

And here’s the thing that always gets me. I always think, “No, no, no, I’m too cynical and smart for this.” Now I know that when the technocracy really arrives, and they really start setting it up, and they really start putting the AI algorithms in charge of governing people, and they really start making the technocratic ideal true, people are going to go, “Whoa, no, wait, no, this is—I know, I know Musk is a technocratic hustler, I know Larry Ellison is a CIA stud, I know that Sam Altman and OpenAI and all of this craziness is bad news, and I’m going to see through it.” But no, every single time, they manage to do exactly what they were telling you they were going to do, exactly what I’ve been warning about, and when it happens, people applaud and cheer and ask for more. “Yay, Musk and the technocrats are coming in to save us! Yay, technocracy!” It’s wild to see that essentially, I’ve been breathing hot air for years and years and years, and the people who pretended that they understood what I was talking about, pretended to understand what the issues were, once they get caught up in the Trump and change, they go 100% on board. So, I’m giving people the out. It’s not about Trump, he’s wonderful, he’s pure, he’s great. He’s being steered in the wrong direction by these technocrat guys. So, let’s, let’s pay attention to what these guys are doing on the sides there, the Stargate $500 billion dollar and Larry Ellison and Altman and Elon Musk. Maybe we should pay attention to what these guys are doing.

All this left-right / Democrat-Republican divide has already been explained in my post based on Whitney Webb’s work:

“The PayPal Presidency” by Whitney Webb + My views on Trump as a stupid, narcissistic, toddler-like Roman emperor.

We’re seeing the same patterns over and over:
Evil 15-minute cities turning into good “freedom cities,”
Evil CBDCs turning into good stablecoins,
Evil woke censorship morphing into good censorship to fight antisemitism,
Evil surveillance to fight far-right extremists becoming good surveillance to fight woke and Islamic extremists,
Evil digital ID/vaccine passports repackaged as digital ID to fight migrants and voter fraud, etc.

The narrative changes, but the policy stays the same.
“It’s not evil communist Klaus Schwab - it’s freedom-loving capitalist Elon Musk, or Peter Thiel, or Trump!”
And don’t think too hard about it - or about the fact that these are the same policies, just rebranded like a company trying to recover from bad PR.
Again: Don’t think - you’ll find the truth in the strength of your hearts.

In my recent posts, I explained how Trump acts like a toddler - stupid and narcissistic - and quoted Christian Parenti, who gave one of the best descriptions of Trump as a toddler-like figure.

And still, I hear on The Duran that “Trump is busy.”
I also heard in an interview that Clinton didn’t listen to his CIA briefings.
Similar things were said about Bush Jr. - that he, like Trump, was too stupid to understand them.
Obama, apparently, didn’t care much about foreign policy and barely engaged with his briefings either.

As I said in previous posts: the last president who truly understood the world was Bush Sr. Everyone after him has been in the dark to some extent.
I’ve already shared examples of Trump’s stupidity, yet people still refuse to believe it - blinded by hopium.

And now you have a Japanese politician speaking out.
Remember: Japanese culture is known for its politeness and respect.
So just consider what it must have taken for a Japanese politician to say what they did.

0:00

What the US is saying is already an impossible task. The theory is already a mess, and there is no consistency whatsoever. However, if Japan were to negotiate about what they have been saying, well, to put it bluntly, it would be akin to a delinquent kid extorting someone.

I don't have much time, but I really hope that you will watch the documentary on Mr. Trump by Mr. Roy Cohn, the lawyer who raised him. And I hope you will watch the various video feeds to get an idea of what kind of person Mr. Trump is. When you see that, you will really think he's that kind of person. And, you know, at the time of this tariff review, he had a lot of time to spare, and he was playing golf at the golf course, at the gym. It's not a conclusion reached after worrying about it. He is really poking fun at the world.

Here’s yet another person talking about Trump like he’s a kid. You also mentioned he was playing golf - I’ve heard the same thing recently. So when I hear people saying, “Trump is very busy,” it honestly frustrates me.

Yes, Trump was busy - not with the responsibilities of running America, but with playing golf, FFS.

I’ve said before: Trump didn’t achieve success in business. He had to be bailed out by the Rothschilds back in the ’90s (I believe) because he failed in business. His real success was in show business, not actual business. He’s an actor - just a face and a brand behind which real power hides. That brand gives people hopium, blinds them to the truth, and allows the same policies to be rebranded as something new and different. It’s all just a disguise powered by the hopium that the “Trump brand” provides.

I’ve already written about Trump’s connections to Roy Cohn, based on the Eyes Wide Open YouTube channel’s video, which itself is based on Whitney Webb’s work and her book One Nation Under Blackmail:

In my recent posts, I said that Trump isn’t a sociopath like Hillary Clinton or most other former presidents. He’s probably genuinely against pedophilia and against wars - but that doesn’t mean he’s clean.

Roy Cohn, Trump’s mentor, allegedly gave him ideas for his book Trump: The Art of the Deal. Roy Cohn was a Jewish mobster connected to the CIA and the deep state. He ran a blackmail operation similar to Epstein’s - and this was Trump’s mentor. People need to remember that.

Here’s a clip from a video featuring Ian Carroll, Nick Bryant, and Ryan Dawson discussing Epstein—where Trump is mentioned as well.

Speaking of which, I'd be really curious, just to stir things up on the internet, I'd be curious for each of your takes on Trump's association with Epstein. Because everyone has a different take, and it seems like, obviously, he grew up around these networks. At least, I personally don't really think he was compromised by it because I don't - I mean, unless it's like this long play where he's their guy to this day, because a lot of people were coming after Trump, and nothing ever came out. But he certainly was friends with Roy Cohn, he certainly was friends with Epstein back in the day, he certainly learned from these networks at the very least. So, I'd be curious—Ryan, and then Nick - do you think that Trump actually did turn on Epstein and turned him in and was kind of part of helping to get Epstein taken down, or do you think it's something else? What do you think is going on with Trump?

They didn't rearrest Epstein till they already had his replacement, because he was just getting a little too John Gotti, he was a little too flagrant with what he was doing, and his name was out there, and it was strike two at that point, so he was done. Trump - you don't have to dig that far when you say he's into this stuff. If you mean this stuff like he's already families married into the Kushner clan, and Charles Kushner went to federal prison for setting up honey traps on his own family. Well, he went there for, you know, illegal campaign finances, for Governor McGreevey, but in trying to sustain that and the little subsidiaries he set up to donate money, he did some in his sister and brother's names without asking them. They weren't mad that he was blackmailing the governor, they were mad that they weren't getting their cuts, they turned on him. So, he tried to blackmail his brother-in-law, set up a honey trap at the Red Bull in a two-star motel because he's classy, and filmed him having sex with a prostitute that he paid. This is the kind of people - that's Charles, that's Jared Kushner's father, by the way, who's now in the Trump administration. And Donald Trump, you know, he's got these weird Miss Teen pageants and stuff, and he's obsessed with these like, uh, pageantry of women. He's on his third wife, like, consensual rape, um, and my understanding is that Jeffrey claimed that he introduced Melania to Trump. Right? You can't believe anything Epstein said. It's possible. I mean, Trump got Trump slung his junk around pretty well on his own. They definitely were friends until he had a falling out with Wexner over a property dispute adjacent to Mar-a-Lago that they were getting on a fire sale, and Trump ended up with it, and that's where, uh, they started butting heads. And then also, uh, the Kushners and Epstein don't get along either. They are rival, uh, real estate tycoons in New York. Wickoff is in that group too. I mean, Steve Wickoff - everyone's like, "Oh, he's the special envoy of the Middle East." Steve Wickoff ran a gambling operation with Antoino Gialupi out of Trump Tower, uh, that they sold to Israeli businessmen. This is all coming out in another film I'm doing. Like, this dude is mobbed up out of Atlantic City, in Trump too, with Tony Solano and uh, Bob Labucci and these people. They go to Wrestlemania together, and there he openly was renting out, um, condos to mobsters that were running all kinds of illegal means, including, uh, forced prostitution. And so, it's not clear that Clinton or Trump were into kids, but they're definitely into young women. Yeah, yeah.

So, it sounds like your take is that he's dirty, but he's not necessarily - he wasn't necessarily blackmailed by Epstein or like helping him run that scheme, but that doesn't make him clean in your book by any means. Is that a fair everyone adjacent to him is involved in these criminal in these crimes and things? Um, you know, Trump doesn't drink, he doesn't - he's got a certain kind of discipline. He seems to be after young supermodels, which is not illegal. It's not illegal to be a man, um, but he's okay with it if someone else does. He's like, "I don't care if you bang her or whatever." So, uh, he's their front man, but I don't think he's ideologically in line with Israel. They got something on them because it's not in America's interest whatsoever, and they're being dragged into these forever wars right along the script that's been there since at least 2001 and Wesley Clark's reading this.

So, Nick, I'd be curious for your take on Trump and his connection and the evidence of his involvement here.

The flight log truth is an interesting case. When I acquired the Black Book in 2012, Alfredo Rodriguez had been the house manager, and he circled a number of names in the Black Book that he said had been in cahoots with Epstein, and Donald Trump was one of the circled names. None of the Epstein underage victims have come out that I know of and have named Trump. But Trump did lie about his relationship with Epstein. He said that he had never been to Epstein's home, but actually, in fact, he had been to Epstein's home. We saw that, uh, in a deposition from Mark Epstein. And then he had also flown on Epstein's plane from Florida up to New York. So, he did have a relationship with Epstein. There are two stories that are going around. One is, and Ryan talked about the real estate deal that went awry that split Epstein and Trump, and the other one is that Epstein, or yeah, Epstein was trying to molest someone, an underage girl, at Mar-a-Lago, and Trump got wind of it and then completely severed his ties to Epstein. So, those are the two stories of why they were severed. But with Trump, he was president for four years, and he had an opportunity to go after the people in the Epstein network, and this was - and this shows that it's both a Democratic and a Republican problem. Epstein has been - was covered up by the George W. Bush administration, it was covered up by the Barack Obama administration, it was covered up by the Trump administration, and then it was covered up by the Biden administration. So, four administrations have covered this up.

Again, don’t get blinded by hopium about Trump.

If Trump ends up pulling back from the Ukraine war and leaves most of it to Europe - with maybe just a little support from the U.S. - it won’t be a surprise. It will simply be a division of labor, exactly as I explained in my recent post based on Brian Berletic’s work from The New Atlas.

“If there was hope, it must lie in the proles, because only there, in those swarming disregarded masses, eighty-five percent of the population of Oceania, could the force to destroy the Party ever be generated. The Party could not be overthrown from within. Its enemies, if it had any enemies, had no way of coming together or even of identifying one another. Even if the legendary Brotherhood existed, as just possibly it might, it was inconceivable that its members could ever assemble in larger numbers than twos and threes. Rebellion meant a look in the eyes, an inflection of the voice; at the most, an occasional whispered word. But the proles, if only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength, would have no need to conspire. They need only to rise up and shake themselves like a horse shaking off flies. If they chose they could blow the Party to pieces tomorrow morning. Surely sooner or later it must occur to them to do it.”
