War Between Israel and Iran...Are You Still Trusting The Plan?
Commentary | Paid Subscriber Post
It’s June, and we’re only a few months into the Donald Trump presidency—but already, we’ve witnessed major strides in America towards technocracy, domestic surveillance, resetting the global financial order, and now—the kinetic element of World War 3. Trust the plan, they said. Some still say it. Incredibly. Despite the fact that by now, we’ve seen enough of “the plan” to make out its contours—and the agenda it clearly serves.
On just the second day in office, we got our first real glimpse. Trump stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Oracle’s Larry Ellison—a longtime CIA contractor whose company specializes in domestic surveillance—and proudly introduced America to Operation Stargate. The plan? Lower the drawbridge for Ellison and OpenAI’s Sam Altman to usher in the fourth industrial revolution in America—only with a MAGA rebrand. But fear not, this would be the good kind of technocracy. Totally unrelated, we were assured, to the evil kind being hawked by the WEF at Davos.

The MAGA faithful seemed largely nonplussed. Sure, there was some lingering bitterness over Operation Warp Speed from Trump 1.0—when Trump was tricked, tricked I tell you, into pushing the poisoned vax agenda—but even when Ellison revealed that AI would soon be cooking up yet more mRNA vaccines, and this time in under 24 hours (safety first kiddos), no-one seemed to care. Why would they? Didn't you know the good times were here again? Naysayers be damned.
Then, just last week, came yet another chapter in the unfolding US technocracy. This time, we learned that Palantir—yes, that Palantir—helmed by Jeffrey Epstein chum Peter Thiel and mega Zionist nutjob Alex Karp, have been tapped to help build a centralized citizen database: the mother of all databases. A digital panopticon to catalog and link every personal, biological, and financial detail under one government-controlled roof. No doubt it’ll sync nicely with your REAL ID—another great addition to the freedom toolbox from Trump and his team.
You’d think that would be enough to at least give the "trust the plan" crowd pause to stop and rethink. Nope. The plan must always be trusted. Questioning it is heresy. Even when it looks like tyranny dressed in a velvet MAGA glove—you’re wrong. It’s not a 15 minute city, it’s a 'freedom city'. And if Palantir seems like a cold-blooded surveillance company rolling out digital slavery across once-free nations—you’re mistaken. That’s just a leftist psy-op to discredit the good guys. Obviously.
In fact, if you so much as raise an eyebrow, you’re probably an op too. To quote one popular alt-media persona: “Palantir might not be the best company, but it could have been a lot worse. And ask yourself why people are talking about Palantir all of a sudden. I’m not saying trust the plan… but you should know by now, that nothing is as it seems!” Got it. Thanks for the insight. Apologies for being alarmed.
Perhaps, like me, you’ve noticed their pattern: no matter what Trump does, these guys will find a way to spin it as a positive. Virtually every major decision made so far has accelerated America—and the world—further into the ungodly reset and its technocratic digital-surveillance replacement. And yet, the justifications keep coming. Whether it’s “5D chess,” a “necessary evil,” or, as the mental gymnastics grow more exhausting, the increasingly popular position of last resort: “Well, at least it’s Trump doing it and not [insert another globalist scumbag here].”
I will be frank. These people are embarrassing, and defending the narrative—which is flimsier than a house made of lollypop sticks—has become their full-time job. Just an endless stream of tweets, decoding Trump’s every fart (mostly using chatgpt). The message they leave their audiences with, mostly comprised of adult babies in need of a big daddy, is as follows: only they can grasp the sacred genius of the plan. Defer to them you must...and subscribe to their newsletter, for more detailed decoding.
For those who dare to point out the growing mountain of evidence that Trump is not, in fact, here to save us, it’s a good old pile-on—with a number of the big accounts openly attacking those whose discuss the many liberty crushing plans being enacted Trump, and those he is installing into power. I guess they have no choice, given it has the uncomfortable consequence of exposing their own crumbling narratives about billionaire superheros and secret plans to restore the empire, for what they are: ridiculous.
They know their credibility is quickly evaporating, so they're doing their best to fight X wars on all fronts. Gotta keep those $$$ rolling in, because after this one falls apart, it's retirement for these folk. Nobody is going to want to listen to another word that comes out of their mouth once the realization finally sets in, that it was all a con, and their online guru's sold them down the river.
Thankfully, this wasn’t my first rodeo—so my hands are clean. I was one of the people who, from the very beginning, said I DON’T trust the plan. Recognizing that the Donald had spent his entire life swimming in the very same swamp he promised to drain (remember that one?). Trusting anyone who played as central a role in the COVID agenda as Trump did was always a wildly bad decision, in my opinion. Frankly, I think trusting anyone in a major position of power within the US or broader Western political establishment is a foolish decision.
But for some, that’s a bridge too far.
In any case, I don’t have to sit here and tell you how wrong I was, or issue a sheepish mea culpa for hundreds of hours spent praising the second coming and heralding all the great things that were allegedly on their way. Because I never bought it to begin with. But I don’t judge those who did—because these narratives are engineered to be convincing. They’re carefully designed to pull you in and give you the psychological salve you crave.
But we’ve seen enough. And it’s time to be honest—with ourselves and with each other. Anyone still trusting “the plan” at this stage is effectively participating in a full-blown humiliation ritual. Whether they realize it or not. And those still trying to convince us to trust the plan? Not only do I not trust the plan—I don’t trust them either. Whether it’s for profit, influence, or something else, they are suspect. All of them.
At this point, they occupy the same cultural role as the propagandists of Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia. Their job is to keep you psychologically woozy, stumbling forward towards your own subjugation. Because the reality is—the technocracy can only be realized with our acquiescence to its component pieces. There is simply no way to implement such a massive, freedom-shattering machine without at least a majority of the population willingly adopting its digital chains.
Whether it’s mRNA vaccines, cryptocurrencies, digital IDs, lab-grown frankenfoods, biometric surveillance—yes, the infrastructure can be built, the data centers created, the energy demands accounted for—but people still have to take part in it for it to be cemented into existence. We have to download the apps, line up for the vaccines, eat the slop, trade our currency for worthless lines of code repackaged as assets. At this stage, people still have to choose to do these things, for the technocracy to work.
This is the hardest part for the would-be totalitarians—because such self defeating actions on our part will only be achieved through grand deceptions, charismatic leaders, and of course, the coterie of influencers telling you to keep calm, and keep on trusting the plan, despite the obvious contradictions you see before you.
That’s why Trump’s presidency is so pivotal for the United States. The most skeptical, anti-establishment citizens in the West today actually sit on the political right—rather than the left—as was historically the case. Meaning conservatives are the faction most likely to resist and push back against the implementation of a digital‑economic control grid.
And because this project has clearly been on the planning table for decades, it’s fair to say every obstacle has already been modeled, every contingency mapped. So if a grand deception was going to be used to lull people into inaction while the beast system was brought online, conservatives were always going to be the primary target.
Where, then, is the deception? Did they somehow forget to draw one up?
It’s like the old joke...every party has an idiot in attendance, and if you can’t spot them—it’s probably you. Well perhaps if you can’t identify the manufactured “pushback” meant to fool you into inaction, it’s because you’re already caught in the net. It’s a simple paradigm, sure. Even crude. But I’m done with 5D chess. When it comes to politics, I prefer to play checkers.
For a long time now, my default setting has been 'corrupted until proven otherwise,' and so far no one in power has managed to prove me wrong. It’s a rigid stance, but it spares me the cyclical humiliation that comes from giving my vote—and my tacit consent—to a machine that is clearly hostile to me and all I hold dear. This simple act of defiance has proven extremely valuable for me. Retaining your dignity has untold psychological benefits, as does losing it. Buyer beware.
Admittedly, this worldview isn’t seductive to those who are conditioned for subservience. It means no cavalry is coming. No merry band of billionaires seeking to sacrifice their lives of material pleasure and privilege, by doing a complete 180, to try and reform a sham system hundreds of years in the making. Accepting this leads one to the realization that our only hope is to take full responsibility for ones outcomes. Whilst also admitting that things will likely get worse, before they get better.
But even within this somewhat challenging forecast, you still have agency. Nothing is stopping you from choosing greater self-reliance, from pursuing freedom with more urgency, from carving out as much independence as possible—even as the world hurtles in the opposite direction. It’s a mindset you can adopt at any time, and it puts you back in the driving seat—not a politician, and certainly not a well-oiled team of professional propagandists seeking to keep you docile.
I can see why people are reluctant to take this path. Growing your own food, learning how to make natural medicines, creating independent income streams, rejecting the conveniences of modernity, because you recognize that technocracy now comes as standard—none of these things are easy. It’s radical in a world engineered to make the wrong choices effortless and the right ones incredibly difficult, to take a new path. Especially now, as we all struggle with ever increasing costs of living due to inflation brought on by the fiatocracy—the function of which is to bind us to the old paradigm.
Desperation makes people fearful, and fear of hardship makes them more likely to choose the easy road—the one that promises stability, and just enough digits on the screen to survive another month. Even if in the long term, that road leads off a cliff edge. It’s short term pain, for long term gain—or short term gain, for long term pain. Although I would argue that actually, staying put is more painful.
Because while people continue to trust the plan—and I’m not just talking about Trump now, but the broader plan designed to keep you mentally frozen—whilst everything continues to unravel. The plan which began with a systematic indoctrination they called education, and evolved into the acceptance of a long chain of lies and false promises. From the pension that won’t be there when you retire, to the normalization of debt slavery via mortgages, credit cards and loans, it’s all part of the same illusion.
And now the whole shabang is about to be incinerated, and replaced with something even more decrepit and gross—this should be the wake up call to us all. We literally have nothing to lose now by taking what many view as the hard road. The sooner the better. Because before too long, the choice won’t be between the challenge of becoming more independent and the mental ease of staying put. It will be between accepting your UBI, your vaccine schedule, and your programmable currency—or not eating. Between silently gritting your teeth and locking your doors as another thousand unvetted migrants are dropped into your community—or being digitally erased for daring to speak out against it.
At some point, all of this becomes real, and permanent. And when it does, it will be too late to act—or at least, too late to act without taking far more drastic steps than are currently required to begin the path back to real sovereignty. But as I sit here right now, that path remains open, and millions across the world are already walking it.
Yes, the new narrative network will mock and deride you for it. They’ll say you’re wasting your time. That your humble garden full of fresh fruit and vegetables is primitive, dumb and will eventually be taken from you anyways. That apolitical solutions are foolish and have no chance of success. That you're a black-piller for refusing to trust our saviors, and refusing to join them in the real solution.
Do it anyway.
Taking radical personal responsibility is the only tried-and-true form of enacting lasting change. And historically speaking, liberty has always come from accepting as little as possible from centralized powers, and doing everything possible to NOT embolden them further. A simple thought experiment proves the point. If tomorrow, everyone dug a well, grew their own food instead of buying it from megacorporations, and began to eliminate from their life the vast bulk of the digital matrix that now dominates it—in favor of minimalism and a return to what’s real—the entire agenda would collapse. Instantly. Game over.
Which is precisely why the aforementioned influencers refuse to talk about these things. You won’t hear them talk about homesteading, about homeschooling children, about building real communities grounded in a shared vision of a better future. One we pursue no matter who happens to be occupying a fake positions of power the masses are tricked into voting for. It's their kryptonite...which is extremely telling.
So here we are, sitting on the edge of what looks to be a major kinetic war between Iran and Israel—and let’s face it, the entire Western and Eastern world. If now is not the time to pause and reflect on where we actually stand in all this—when is? From where I am sitting, everything we’re living through now was not only predictable—it was obvious.
The truth is plan hasn’t changed in 50 years. It’s just been rebranded, repackaged and bounced back and forth across the aisle through endless rounds of ping-pong politics. Which is why the new boss, is no different from the old boss (and yes, he serves the same masters). What we’re witnessing in America isn’t something new and exciting—it’s just more of the same. So I defer to old wisdom: if you cannot change something, you must then change yourself.
Clearly, we’re not turning this ship around by voting harder. And we’re certainly not going to fix it by trusting harder. We have to take action in our own lives—and in doing so, set forth on creating a genuine alternative to the one being offered by the mainstream. The goal isn’t to stop the bad guys. It never was. It’s about thriving in spite of them.
Which comes from taking action, and forging a life for yourself that is as decentralized as possible. Maybe that’s not the future you imagined. But it’s human sized, and it's achievable. And time is no longer on our side. Because things are accelerating. Today, Israel reportedly struck multiple nuclear facilities in Iran. Oil prices are surging, and the drums of war are growing louder. Already, the media is seeding the public for a “major cyberattack” in retaliation—priming us for escalation on every front.
For those still trusting the plan? I imagine they’re stunned. They'll be even more so when their economy unravels—and instead of the renaissance of American jobs and manufacturing they were promised, they get the Great Depression 2.0. Clearly, by trusting the narratives, they’ve been left woefully exposed—unprepared and perfectly positioned to be swept away by the coming flood.
But for those who took personal responsibility—who refused to surrender their future to hollow promises and theater—none of what’s happening right now is going to surprise them. They’re ready for reality, not fantasy. With 6-12 months of food in the cupboard ready for when the supply chains fall apart. A small garden growing real, organic food that nourishes them.
Precious metals and real assets that won’t vanish in a cyberattack like the digital dogshit they’ve being telling us to buy. Some cash on hand, for when the ATM’s go dark. A plan B, in case something unexpected happen. And a new set of skills that will enable them to endure what comes next.
And all of this was achieved because they chose to place trust in themselves, rather than the plan.
Fantastic and succinct article.
I've just finished reading The Grapes of Wrath.. one of your past recommendations Mike. As the old saying goes Hard times create strong men, Strong men create good times, Good times create Weak men, Weak men create Hard times.
I think we know where we are now in this cycle. Most Brits of a certain age will remember the phrase, Dig for Victory.. well I think that victory has become alot more personal to the individual & their families right now. As we know the less reliant we are on big Gov, big Corp & big Pharma the better off we will be. Good luck & God bless 🙏
Excellent again Mike. I will return read this a couple more times.
