The Arms Race of Ideas Part III: Draining the Swamp
Written by John Carroll
The media’s role in creating and spreading propaganda has been well documented on Quite Frankly, but doing so came with the responsibility of maintaining the Overton Window, in order to keep their forced reality intact. That task became increasingly difficult with the advent of new media, and seemingly impossible once Donald Trump entered politics. Unable to prevent new ideas from challenging their own, the media now tries to twist them into something else, in an attempt to obfuscate their true power. An important example of this reactive strategy can be found in a Washington Post article about President Trump’s visit to Andrew Jackson’s grave, just two months into his presidency.
“Others may think of history as a lens,” they wrote. “Donald Trump regards it as a mirror.” That’s certainly an interesting choice of words, in the context of multiple timelines and history potentially about to repeat itself, as we’ll see. In the aftermath of the 2016 Election, Trump started touting the similarity of his and Jackson’s “vicious” campaigns. The article admits there are many similarities between the two presidents, but goes on to apply the smears they manufactured against Trump to different aspects of Jackson’s presidency. It explains how Jackson was a power-hungry racist, implying that’s why Trump hung his picture in the Oval Office. Notably absent in the article is any mention of Jackson’s signature achievement as president. As the outcome of the 2020 Election hung in the balance, Trump reminded them exactly why he mirrors Jackson:
Technically, Jackson killed the predecessor of the Federal Reserve, the Second National Bank of the United States. The First National Bank was the brainchild of Alexander Hamilton, who was fiercely opposed by sound money advocates like Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Both sides lobbied President George Washington, and in his reply to Washington’s concerns, Hamilton committed one of the very first abuses of the General Welfare Clause of the Constitution.
Washington was ultimately persuaded by Hamilton’s argument, and the First National Bank was created in 1791, with a 20-year charter. The Jeffersonian faction won a brief victory in 1811, when Congress voted against renewing its charter. Unfortunately, just five years later, Congress revived it as the Second National Bank, with another 20-year charter, as a remedy for the debt incurred by the War of 1812.
Enter Andrew Jackson, who was already an American hero before he ran for president, by virtue of having crushed the British at the Battle of New Orleans. Jackson was once quoted as saying “I was born for a storm, and a calm does not suit me.” As president, he unleashed his fury on the Second National Bank, sparking what became known as The Bank War. The charter for the bank wasn’t set to expire until 1836, but the bank president petitioned Congress for an early re-charter in 1832. Jackson faced reelection that year, and his political enemies thought it could be a winning campaign issue.
The re-charter bill easily passed in Congress, but Jackson vetoed it in a shocking move. It was the first time a president vetoed a bill that hadn’t been ruled unconstitutional, but Congress didn’t have enough votes to override it. In retaliation for the veto, the bank drastically reduced loans, aiming to deliberately crash the US economy, and impoverish the people, by contracting the money supply. Jackson countered the bank by withdrawing all federal funds and depositing them in state banks. Jackson’s efforts paid off, especially in articulating how the bank was a scam to the American people. The bank was dissolved when Congress failed to renew its charter in 1836, and the bankers wouldn’t try again until 1913.
The 1832 veto professed sentiments which would be echoed by William Jennings Bryan in 1896. It proclaimed, “It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their selfish purposes… In the full enjoyment of the gifts of Heaven and the fruits of superior industry, economy, and virtue, every man is equally entitled to protection by law; but when the laws undertake to add to these natural and just advantages artificial distinctions, to grant titles, gratuities, and exclusive privileges, to make the rich richer and the potent more powerful, the humble members of society–the farmers, mechanics, and laborers–who have neither the time nor the means of securing like favors to themselves, have a right to complain of the injustice of their Government. There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses. If it would confine itself to equal protection, and, as Heaven does its rains, shower its favors alike on the high and the low, the rich and the poor, it would be an unqualified blessing. In the act before me there seems to be a wide and unnecessary departure from these just principles.”
The religious references are significant. Christians are taught to imitate Christ, but the true meaning of that lesson has been perverted in the modern age of Liberation Theology. Simply put, God endowed us with free will as part of the natural order. He should therefore support any movement aiming to restore that order, just as He did when He dwelt on the Earth. It's doubtful Jackson understood things quite the way we’re starting to, but mirroring his words and actions to that of the Eternal Logos was likely very effective in amplifying the power of his timeline. Trump certainly understands how it works, and has followed suit.
There are theories that Trump is actually a reincarnation of Jackson, as well as General George Patton. Perhaps, but given what we’ve learned about the nature of memespace, perception alone might be enough to ensure the success of the new competing timeline. That is to say, when enough of the collective consciousness associates Trump with Jackson, Trump should then be expected to act like Jackson.
Surprisingly, there’s more than just perception connecting Trump to the timeline battle we identified in Part II. The Trump Time Travel theory established his connection to Nikola Tesla through his uncle, and Tesla actually found himself aligned with the sound money timeline. The reason Tesla died penniless was because he was in the crosshairs of JP Morgan most of his career. His wealthiest friend and investor also happened to be none other than John Jacob Astor, which seems natural given their mutual enemies.
It’s rumored that Tesla and other futurists formed a secret society in 1889, called Plus Ultra, to keep their discoveries and inventions out of the hands of the world’s string-pullers, like JP Morgan and John Rockefeller. There is scant hard evidence of the society’s existence, but in this context, there is a strange coincidence surrounding Trump’s purchase of Mar-a-Lago in 1985. A 2009 article about the Florida residence observed, “The 600-year-old tiles lining Mar-a-Lago’s baronial entrance read ‘Plus Ultra’ – the Age of Discovery’s rallying cry of ‘More Beyond’ as sailors pushed past the boundaries of the known world.” Did Plus Ultra really exist? Does it still? Is Trump one of its members?
Trump seems to allude to a hidden agenda by mirroring other historical memes, so why not? If it is true, it begs an important question. If Plus Ultra is still trying to manifest their version of reality, how did they get back in the game? In Part II, we concluded their Free Silver timeline probably collapsed, and gave way to the Federal Reserve timeline we’ve been experiencing. How could a new timeline have been manifested to compete with the dominant existing one? The answer, in theory, is by a time travel event. Imagine that! Hollywood showed us what this would look like in Back to the Future. When the figures in Marty McFly’s polaroid started to disappear, it was because multiple versions of the future existed in those scenes.
If manifesting a new timeline to overpower the existing one is Plus Ultra’s end, what is its means? The leaders of the last timeline battle seemed to weaponize the ideas in specific books. Can we identify a modern equivalent of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz? Given the evidence of Trump’s waging of meme warfare, one book seems to fit the bill perfectly. It was written by Harvey Barnard in 2005, about something called the National Economic Security and Recovery Act (NESARA). Some of what NESARA calls for is the elimination of the Federal Reserve System and the IRS, a return to a precious metals-backed US currency issued by the Treasury, forgiveness of massive amounts of debt and the declassification of advanced technologies. The name of the book? Draining the Swamp.
It was likely opposed by a 2017 book called The Fourth Industrial Revolution, by Klaus Schwab. The main themes of the book formulate the bulk of the Great Reset, a global agenda proposed by the World Economic Forum back in June, and backed by Trump’s opposition. Thus, it appears the 2020 Election defined the next decision point as a collision of the Great Reset timeline and the NESARA timeline. The election itself couldn’t have been the decision point, because the two realities still coexist. The 80+ million Americans who voted for Trump think the government is illegitimate. Additionally, over the last four years, Trump severely eroded trust in our institutions, especially the media and Hollywood. That may have been his main goal all along, to make us realize there isn’t a political solution to our problems. We didn’t have to wait long to learn what the solution might be, however.
Days after Joe Biden’s “inauguration,” Reddit users launched a short squeeze campaign against Gamestop and AMC stock, which was heavily shorted by major hedge funds. As the hedge funds lost tens of billions of dollars and stared total liquidation in the face, the big banks and the government stepped in to brazenly rig the market against the buyers. It certainly wasn’t a good look in the wake of an election that was stolen in a similarly comical manner.
Interestingly, Don Jr.’s observations suggest the squeeze wasn’t as grassroots-driven as it was portrayed in the media. Suspicions were also aroused by the potential messaging the targeted stocks conveyed (Gamestop = the game/simulation is stopping, and AMC = we’re watching a movie). These financial attacks may have also simply been the opening salvo of the real financial fight, the fight to free ourselves from usury and debt slavery once and for all. The short squeezers’ next target is arguably the most shorted asset on Earth, the one we weaponized in 1896, and the one that could bring the whole house of cards tumbling down.
How the story unfolds from here is anyone’s guess, but one thing seems to be clear: the outcome will be decided not by the magicians, but by We the People, by which timeline our collective consciousness embraces. We are the ultimate prize, because together, we hold the power that determines reality. The future belongs to us!
