Ron Lauder introduced the idea to Trump in 2017, probably at Putin's suggestion. The tech bros picked it up in parallel.

Yes, but the truth is Dugin is a plagiarist claiming credit for a lot of things already in the ether. I avoid crediting him when he's not specifically the source of something, and he is not in this case.

Now, there are no adults, and Trump is once again vulnerable to Putin's provocations and any other leverage he can bring to bear. This is Putin's last ditch effort to secure Ukraine, and it's unclear it can work. But he's taken this gamble, and we're all hostages.

This is a comprehensive writeup of the facts we outlined earlier this week and which went viral. With all this evidence taken in its totality, the long term intent becomes obvious. John Bolton and Fiona Hill (like them or not) were the adults who blocked this in 2019.

Excellent investigative work - follow the money! MMY, my parents guru, targeted the wealthy. Cults seduce through luring others by association.
While a new concept to me, an Epstein or Russia tie to TM is not really that far fetched.

Yes. I have been forced to become an expert on various New Age, religious, and cult networks over the last decade and they are routinely used as influence mechanisms and for worldview warfare. The signals you picked up were correct.

Define 'bad actor.' If one wanted to say that Lynch didn't think much of American hegemony and imagined a different world might be possible, that's true enough. The fact that this was useful to Russia + China made him more of a 'useful idiot' than bad actor.

Yeah. It's hard to know what aspects of the Lynch/Frost cosmology are intentional references to all of this, but the Season 3 nuclear references are quite overt. Worthy of a master's thesis at least.
