America’s CIA Director, John Ratcliffe, was recently in Russia to secretly deal with the collapse of Ukraine! It now appears that Russia has taken off their war gloves to escalate this war! The Ports in Odessa are now mostly closed and this is making the economic situation in Ukraine unbearable. The export and import of Ukrainian products is being restricted by this policy of closing the Sea Ports around Odessa.
Russia is now acting with purpose to END this war with Ukraine. Can Ukraine counter with purpose and effectiveness? My sense is NO. They can use their DRONES to destroy various refineries and retail warehouses. But all this is causing Russia to use new strategies to counter this action. Escalation is the goal of the Russian military and we could witness Kiev being bombed this weekend. The situation (economically) is getting DIRE for Ukraine and America’s CIA Director is attempting to ameliorate this situation. Will it work?
I do not think that Russia will let up on their war efforts as Putin is in trouble (politically) if this war does not end soon. Russia has the military personnel to create a huge escalation so as to destroy the Ukrainian economy and kill the leaders in Kiev (if necessary). The USA wants this war over as Trump must deal with the Iran war (primarily). My sense is that America’s CIA Director went to Moscow so as to try and solve this soon coming escalation by Russia. Watch the news this weekend as it looks (to me) that this war will be in the front page news this weekend.
Zelensky is refusing to compromise his goals and negotiate a settlement with Russia. Zelensky wants to continue the war even as he is losing control daily. The end of Zelensky is on the horizon IMO. His goals cannot be achieved as Russia is much to powerful (militarily). Ukraine has survived because of Trump and NATO. But Trump is now abandoning Ukraine and NATO is losing its effectiveness as the real problem is now ENERGY (for the nations of Europe). Energy (gas, etc.) is declining for all of Europe and this means that help from Russia is needed.
Watch Germany for signs of changes in their energy policies. Why did John Ratcliffe, America’s CIA Director, fly to Moscow on Tuesday to deal with the issue of Ukraine? My sense is that this meeting with Putin and the leaders of Russian intelligence was to stop the continuing escalation of Russian military actions in Ukraine. This escalation has produced a dire economic situation for Ukraine. Trump wants this war over as he is now unable to continue his support for Ukraine (financially). America is having a serious problem with their BONDS as many Asian countries are dumping America bonds on the global markets. This is producing HIGHER interest rates and Trump wants this to stop. Secretary of Treasury, Scott Bessent, is now buying BONDS so as to prevent any increase in the 10 year Treasury interest rates. It’s all getting seriously dire for America and the Ukraine war must now be ENDED. But Russia is unlikely to cooperate with Trump’s ideas on this war. Russia is winning this war and the Russian army is advancing!
Let’s watch events this weekend as it seems to me that some major escalation is coming. Zelensky will not be capable of countering this escalation as America and NATO are losing confidence/support in the leadership within Ukraine. War is causing serious problems for all nations on this planet but America is especially in trouble as Trump must win the Mid-terms if he is to remain in POWER. Watch world events this weekend! Something BIG is brewing IMO!

Capitalism: neither America nor the World operates via this philosophy! Fox News is totally wrong!
The philosophy of Capitalism started with the writings of Adam Smith (1776) and his book the Wealth of Nations. Smith noticed that private enterprises and private competition produced the greatest WEALTH for any nation. He advocated NO government interference within the Capitalistic economic system. But all this is history today! American does NOT operate via Capitalism and neither does any nation on our planet (today)!
The philosophy of Capitalism ended in 1971 (Nixon’s closing of the gold window) and then completely in 2008 (the world financial crisis). Today, is August 25, 2026 and our entire planet operates with a philosophy of government favoritism, government debt, and government subsidies. America’s ‘national’ debt is over $40 trillion. The world debt bomb is over $200 trillion. Our currencies are now digital/virtual and based upon nothing but computer entries (which gets entered by human authorities within our Central Banking System). There is no real reference point for VALUE (the price of products which emerges from private competition). All is FAKE and illusionary and few of our Media or Political pundits comprehend these realities. Fox News continues to act as if Capitalism is our system for America. This mindset is outdated and totally invalid.
Today, Trumpism is dominant within the American economic arena. A controlled Socialism is dominant in most of Europe and a form of Fascism is dominant within most of the African and Asian nations. Actually, I would call Trumpism a form of Fascism. This political ruler manipulates the prices of OIL and many other basic commodities (daily). Trumpism is now promoting a false Capitalism for the Mid-term elections. His opponents are promoting a mindset of Democratic Socialism (and also Democratic Communism). Whatever that is! Listen to Bernie Sanders, AOC, Kamala Harris, and Elisabeth Warren for their concepts of reality (it’s all fake and PHONY to those who comprehend reality).
There is NO Capitalism on planet Earth (today). We now have some 3,428 billionaires who control most of the WEALTH on planet Earth. Some 12 billionaires own more WEALTH than the bottom 50%. Wealth disparity is the result which government favoritism has produced for this planet. In Arizona, some 22% of retired people (over 66) are classified as living in poverty. Poverty is growing worldwide and wealth disparity is producing this result. America has over 1,000 billionaires (who gain some 12% compound growth in their wealth annually). All is a result of banking policies and government policies (mostly since 1971 and especially since 2008). See this website for the math: http://www.usdebtclock.org.
Our world system operates under Fascism, Socialism, and Communism today. Trumpism is a form of Fascism (when understood). There is NO private enterprise which is INDEPENDENT of Government. The Adam Smith Capitalism which started in 1776 and continued until 1971 is totally OVER. Fox News is promoting illusion and lies to their listeners. So is CNN and all the other government controlled MEDIA on this planet. All is illusion, lies, and fake concepts which ended YEARS in our past!
Vote for the KINGDOM AGE and for our CREATOR’S economic system going forward. This is the ONLY system which will bring this planet real freedom, justice, happiness, and prosperity (for everyone). America is now operating with a heretical political system. It is destined to FAIL big time. Probably the end will be recognized this year (2026). Watch the fake markets for signs of a crash. Today’s systems are fake, phony, illusionary, and FALSE! Wake-up and think for yourself.
The Kingdom Age is the next real political/economic system for planet Earth. This is prophecy and this is our Creator’s plan for our planet IMO. Money will be eliminated from planet Earth. What is ‘money’ in reality? Where is it? Give this some thought at your leisure! Mankind is mostly living in a ‘fools’ paradise! It’s all fake and PHONY!

P.S. Vikings discovered America 471 years prior to Columbus! Wow!
Centuries before Columbus, Viking explorers had already reached America. Groundbreaking scientific dating proves they occupied North America exactly in the year 1021 AD.
Long before Christopher Columbus made his historic landfall, Norse explorers led by figures like Leif Erikson had already established a foothold in North America.
Settling at L’Anse aux Meadows in modern-day Newfoundland, Canada, the Vikings constructed a temporary overwintering camp and ship-repair station 1,000 years before researchers finally unlocked its timeline.
While ancient Norse sagas had detailed these daring voyages for centuries, physical proof was only unearthed in 1960, leaving historians to debate the precise timing of their transatlantic crossing.
In 2021, scientists solved the mystery using advanced radiocarbon dating on wooden artifacts discarded at the site. By identifying a global radiocarbon spike in tree rings caused by a massive cosmic-ray storm in 992 AD, researchers counted the remaining rings to the bark edge of trees felled with metal tools. The results pinpointed the exact year of Norse presence to 1021 AD—the earliest known crossing of the Atlantic and a defining moment in global human connection.
Yeshua Jesus failed! Paul’s perceptions failed! We are still waiting for Father God’s New Age 😔!
Yeshua and Paul both FAILED… in their perceptions. A New Kingdom did not arrive (as they contemplated)! Father God overruled their prophetic assumptions! Why? What now?
Many biblical scholars are now proclaiming the utter failure of the ministries of Yeshua Jesus and later Paul of Tarsus. Yeshua proclaimed that Father God’s New Age was imminent. Mark 1:15.
Paul’s visionary experience (after Yeshua died) confirmed that this Kingdom (New Age) was coming during his lifetime. Paul’s visionary experience was his evidence. Paul, however, FAILED as did Yeshua. Why? My assumption is that Father God desired these failures.
Father God is our ultimate 🥏 authority on all issues of reality. We are now some 2,000 years since these gospels were preached (by Yeshua Jesus and by Paul of Tarsus). I say that both these prophets thought that they heard correctly from our Creator God…but were obviously mistaken 😔. Father God had different plans for planet 🌎.
The goals of mankind are ultimate freedom, peace, and justice. We all desire this reality. Only Father God, however, can bring us these end results. We now need a new fulfillment of these historical goals. Did Father God desire this failure for mankind? I think so! We must now internalize this history and move on.
My sense is that our waiting for a New Age, is eventually going to happen. Father God has set a new clock for the coming of this Kingdom Age. Many biblical scholars are now proclaiming that the historical Kingdom Age (expected by the historical Yeshua and Paul) was a failure even as this goal 🥅 is still awaiting mankind. See Revelation 20 and 21.
But biblical scholars (like Paula Fredricson, James Tabor, Elaine Pagels, and Bart Erhman) all recognize that Yeshua and Paul FAILED in their expectations. The Kingdom of Father God did not arrive. Mankind is still waiting for this Prophecy to be fulfilled. Will it arrive during my lifetime? Your lifetime?
My sense is that Father God will bring us this New Age soon. Real-time history is nearing the 6,000 year milestone. This means, for me, that our current man-ruled system is nearing its culmination. World events also seem clear…the culmination of man’s fake 🤥 political/financial system is ending.
Our current world 🌍 system is drowning in DEBT and deficits. You can witness this ‘drowning’ in real-time: http://www.usdebtclock.org. America is over $40 trillion in Debt and our 🌍 World is over $200 trillion in Debt. No repayment is mathematically possible. Debt must be liquidated and a New World 🌍 system must emerge from this debt liquidation. The cycle of reality determines reality!
Will Father God bring us his New Age after this LIQUIDATION period? I think 🤔 so! Father God rules over this planet and his goals will prevail IMO. Man’s rule is now short. Trump will fail. Xi will fail. Putin, Netanyahu, Bernie Sanders, and all the rest will fail. All our Fascist rulers will fail. Failure is assured IMO. Why? God says so!!!
Watch our world 🌎 events as they happen. 2026 is a crucial year. 2027 will reveal this end time failure for ALL our political rulers and their FAKE digital operations to witness. Trump is merely a reference point for all these fake leaders. Playing God will end. The real Source, our Invisible King, will emerge. That is MY humble opinion. Think for yourself!

Four Politicians: Mussolini, Hitler, Netanyahu, Trump, with similar mindsets! Ending may also be similar???
I find history as being totally valid for understanding current events. It seems like past events tend to repeat over time. All this is related to man’s human nature and man’s desire to rule this planet. My first political leader that has information for our current situation is this leader who ruled Italy for some 21 years. He died on April 28, 1945 (two days prior to Hitler). Let’s review some core beliefs of this leader who ruled from 1922 – 1943. Was he a narcissist and somewhat schizophrenic?
- Benito Andrea Mussolini: this leader started his rule with the idea that he desired a New Rome for the nation of Italy. We might say he wanted MIGA (make Italy great again). Benito was dissatisfied with the prior leaders of Italy and he thought his ideas would bring a New Rome Regime for this Nation. He called this Fascism (a type of populism and/or nationalism). Benito started out as a believer in Catholicism (his mother was a Catholic believer). His father was anti-clerical. Benito liked the philosophy of Fredrick Nietzsche for a time period (this made him an atheist)…but he changed his mindset many times during his rule. In 1929 he signed a Pact making the Vatican a separate state (it was called the Lateran Accord. He then promoted Catholic doctrine for the entire education system within Italy.
Mussolini wanted a greater Italy (MIGA) so he tried to occupy and/or annex many territories while he was in power. This mindset of creating a greater Italy continued for his entire career as a political leader. His policies were later copied by Adolfus Hitler. Mussolini used concentration camps to change human behavior in Libya and many other territories that he conquered. His mindset was ‘I am right always’ and this mindset of being ‘right’ was his mantra while serving Italy as their leader. Benito sought supporters who would agree with his mindset and his policies (yes men were his advisors).
The end game for Benito Andrea Mussolini happened in 1945. He was shot (along with his mistress) and both were hung by their feet as a display for the public. Prior to his death he tried to join forces with Hitler in Germany. Hitler, apparently, wanted Benito to continue his rule over parts of northern Italy. This happened for a couple of years prior to his death on April 28, 1945 (two days prior to the suicide of Hitler and his mistress). The mindset of Benito changed over his 23 years of leadership. But his end was a rejection by the public and by the citizens of Italy.
2. Adolfus Hitler: this political leader started his journey to power back in the 1920’s. He was raised a Catholic and he was confirmed as a member of Catholicism. He died as a Catholic. During his lifetime, however, he changed his philosophy many times. He was an atheist for a time, a Darwinian evolutionist believer for a time, a Deist believer for a time, an a New Christian believer for a time. He also seemed to view Islam as a valid belief system for a time. This diversity was happening even as Adolfus ruled over Germany as a politician who desired a MGGA (make Germany Great again). Hitler wanted a greater Germany (consisting of mostly Aryan type citizens). Aryan was his belief as he viewed Jews as a lesser race (non- Aryans). Nordic Aryans were what Hitler desired for his Third Reich (a greater Germany). Hitler did believe in this Aramaic Jew from Nazareth (Yeshua/Jesus)…but he viewed this person as an Aryan person (not a real Jew). Jesus, for Hitler, was a leader who desired to rid the world of orthodox Jews. Hitler viewed the apostle Paul as the real corrupter of the Catholic/Christian religion. The Catholic church, for Hitler, was not the real leader of Christianity. He rejected the idea of a Pope and a hyerarchial dogmatic Church system. Jesus, for him, had a mindset of rejecting the beliefs of the Jews (during his lifetime). Politically, Adolfus Hitler wanted a populist/fascist political system for Germany and his new Thrid Reich regime.
Adolfus Hitler, however, did not achieve his dreams or his mindset of a greater Germany. His entire regime ended in 1945 as the Allied military armies conquered his regime. Hitler died (via suicide) on April 30, 1945 (two days after Benito Mussolini). It appears that Hitler and his companion, Eva Baun, died via a gun shot and/or poison (chemicals). The Soviet Army was approaching his compound on the day of his death (in Berlin, Germany). Hitler hated the Russians and their communist political system. He desired to conquer Russia during his lifetime but the opposite happened (Russia conquered Hitler and his Third Reich). The mindset of Hitler was mostly Fascist and totalitarian (similar to that of Benito Mussolini).
3. Benjamin ‘Bibi’ Netanyahu: this political leader has ruled Israel for some 20 years (some say 30 years). Benjamin started his rule in 1996 and his mindset involves making Israel a greater territory. Greater Israel is the goal of Netayahu. We could say his mindset is MIGA (make Israel great again). Netanyahu is a Jew who seems to desire a personal connection to the narratives of the Hebrew Bible. Benjamin cites the Shema in speeches to emphasize his ties to the land of Israel. Benjamin actively cultivates strategic relationships with Christian groups (such as that of John Hagee and other Christian Zionists).
Netanyahu has developed a strong relationship with Donald John Trump (since around 1984). He attended the marriage of Donald to Melania in 2005. He then supported Trump in his election of 2016 and had a personal summit with Trump in 2017. Their bond peaked in 2018 and after (when Trump moved the Israeli embassy to Jerusalem).
Today, Trump and Netanyahu are on the same page with their policies of war with Iran. It appears that it was Benjamin who pushed the buttons (emotions)of Donald so as to start this war with Iran on February 28, 2026. The war started as a coordinated strike using Israeli and U.S. forces. This joint campaign was called Operation Epic Fury and Operation Roaring Lion. The opening wave of strikes used Israeli military aircraft and U.S. cruise missiles and jets. It is obvious that this war was initiated by BOTH Netanyahu and Trump. Many think that it was Netanyahu, however, who pushed the buttons of Trump so that this war happened???
Do both Trump and Netanyahu have a Fascist mindset on issues of promoting a greater Israel and a greater America? Is a greater Israel the goal of Netanyahu? Is a greater America the goal of Trump? If so, then both seem to hold a populist/fascist political philosophy for their rule. Expanding the regime of Israel is the goal of Netanyahu and expanding the regime of America seems to be the goal of MAGA (Trump). The end game of both these leaders will be instructive. Do the end games of Mussolini and Hitler provide some evidence that could be relevant? Only God knows!
4. Donald John Trump: this political leader started his desire for Presidential leadership back in 1987 (some 39 years ago). Donald placed full page advertisements criticizing U.S. foreign policy and he gave promotional speeches at this time. Donald finally chose to run for President in 2016 and was elected over Hillary Clinton in November 2016. He then watched Joe Biden rule in 2020-2024… and then Trump was elected for the second time in November of 2024. His mindset is MAGA (make America great again). Since his election in 2024, Trump has expanded his rule by ousting Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela. He is currently desiring to acquire Greenland and maybe Cuba (according to his rhetoric). In February of 2026, Trump and Netanyahu started a war with Iran (hoping to change the political regime of Iran and create a new Iran for the people of Iran). This goal never happened (as of today). The rule of Iran is now continuing (under a similar regime) and the goals of Trump and Netanyahu seem invalid to many thinkers. The new REGIME is not bowing to American or Israeli demands and the Strait of Hormuz is now under the control of Iran (not America). The war situation seems out of control and Iran seems willing to suffer for the continuation of their goals and culture. The goal of eliminating the rule of Iran so that a new Regime can be installed (bowing to America and Israel) seems impossible!
Does the regime of Trump seem similar to that of Mussolini and Hitler? Is America trying to create a greater America which rules the planet? Can the policies of Trump (which seem fascist to many) actually produce a MAGA result (greater America like of old)? None of this seem possible to this writer. The mindset of Trump seems invalid and the likely outcome of this regime might end with the Mid-term elections. The American people are now losing confidence in this political leader who started his rule with this MAGA mindset. Will the end of Trump’s rule be positive or negative? Only God knows!
Watch events for answers going forward! Have a great day!

Clear EVIDENCE for the virtual/spiritual/invisible REALM! We all can witness this reality!
As a historical Economist, I can say with assurance that we are living in a virtual/spiritual/invisible realm. What is the evidence? It’s our money units! These money units are non-material/non-physical/virtual. Virtual means that there is no substance (matter) to these units. So what are they? They are units of my/your/our CONSCIOUSNESS. They are INNER and have ZERO outer existence. What is a ‘dollar’ today? What is a ‘pound’, a ‘ruble’, a Swedish ‘krona’? All these money units are ‘virtual’ and/or ‘non-material. They are all ‘invisible’ to our five senses. They are units of nothing!
Few non-economists can discern this reality, however. Even many economists claim otherwise. But all that you need to do is ask a few questions:
- Can you hold a virtual money unit in your hand?
- Can you observe a virtual money unit outside your MIND?
- Can you identify a virtual money unit as a ‘THING’?
- Can you hear, feel, see, smell, or taste a ‘virtual’ money unit?
The answer is obvious, NO! We now live with invisible/virtual/spiritual/non-material money units (which are created ‘out-of-nothing’)…the human mind of a banker. Our Central Bank can manipulate these ‘money units’ with the punch of a computer key. Algorithms can manipulate the ‘prices’ of all commodities with their internal ‘source’ codes. All is programmed by select monetary authorities who do all this manipulation DAILY. Our Wall Street environment is NOW a computer environment which uses these virtual money units for all their operations. All happens invisibly as these UNITS are ‘invisible’ money units (composed of nothing). There is NO matter/substance to these money units.
Our money units were historically composed of matter (gold/silver/paper). Today, these money units are composed of NOTHING! Who understands? Few to NONE. The reason so few understand is because we all LOOK at our computer screen and then witness NUMBERS (as these money units). What are cardinal numbers (in reality)? Numbers (1,2,3, etc.) are units of my/your ‘consciousness’. They are ‘forms’ and/or ‘ideas’ within our MIND. Plato recognized this reality way back in 390 BC. Socrates also recognized this reality with his philosophy and understanding. But, few today, understand. I have been teaching about this reality for nearly 60 years.
The foundation of the American Dollar was a substance (a ‘thing’). This started way back in 1785 with the thinking of Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson defined the American Dollar as 371.25 grains of pure silver (an element within our Periodic table). Jefferson adopted the Spanish silver Peso as his reference point for the American Dollar. After an ASSAY of this Spanish silver coin, Thomas discovered that it contained some 371.25 grains of pure silver. He then adopted this substance as the reference point for the American Dollar.
In 1792, the American Congress approved Jefferson’s viewpoint on a new America Dollar for our Nation. This resulted in the Coinage Act of 1792 and then the First MINT in Philadelphia. Jefferson was a ‘materialist’ when it came to money units. He viewed a virtual dollar as fake and meaningless for measuring real ‘value’ in the marketplace. Today, we live with FAKE money units (globally) the dollar is fake, the pound is fake, the Swedish krona is fake. All the 175 global money units are virtual/fake/nothing! We live with fake/virtual/spiritual money units and FEW to NONE comprehend this reality! Wow!
Yes, the best evidence for an invisible REALITY is our money units. Where are these units? Who controls the creation of these units? Which MINDS are behind the creation of these units of nothing? Can anyone have meaningful ‘confidence’ in the stability and continuance of our current financial system? I don’t think so! We live with FAKE and ILLUSIONARY money on a global basis. It’s all destined for complete COLLAPSE in real-time. It is happening as I write this missive in some areas of our global economy. It will happen in America and the entire planet in time. All these invisible/fake money units will crash into units of nothing. All these units are now residing within the collective human ‘consciousness’. What is the human ‘consciousness’? Is it ‘invisible’ and a non-material entity? I think so! All this is CLEAR evidence of our virtual/spiritual/invisible reality! Think ‘money units’ when you seek ‘evidence’ of real-time REALITY! Have a great day!
