The political crisis of the Zhou regime—an operation of the Anglo-Zionist Deep State, the IC, NSC, DoS, military establishment, and relevant Congressional committees--is also a crisis of the entire Anglo-Zionist empire and its foreign policy. I’ve done a partial transcript of Doug Macgregor speaking with Judge Nap yesterday, because Macgregor talks turkey about where we stand. He also suggests that the political and imperial crises may actually be connected—that the donor class, which is financially based, is alarmed by the reckless war mongering of the Neocon run foreign policy. Macgregor—who undoubtedly is well connected—suggests that this is a real factor in the drive to remove Zhou. The donor class will want to enforce changes in policy ASAP, because they see how close the Israel Lobby controlled regime has brought us to global war. Obviously I have no contacts who can tell me about that, but it’s worth listening to Macgregor and considering what he has to say. It does seem remarkable to me that there has been so little hubhub about Trump hobnobbing with the likes of the globalist pariah Viktor Orban, who openly consorts with Putin and talks peace. Is this a sign that Trump may, after all, be acceptable to a faction our Ruling Class? Interesting times.
In what follows, I’ve simply transcribed (with light editing) the more trenchant observations that Macgregor makes. This is not a connected, continuous transcript. For the entire video: Col. Douglas Macgregor: US Foreign Policy on the Brink.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was transformed a long time ago into a Trojan horse for American Military political and economic influence over the last 50 years. We've seen the Europeans voluntarily convert themselves into vassal states of the greater American Empire.
The problem that we're up against right now is we continue to behave as though Russia is something it's not--as though Russia is weak, Russia is small, and Russia ultimately has no choice but to effectively bow to our influence and power. That's not going to happen and as Mr Orban--who was in Moscow recently--said, if you pursue this you will awaken the wrath of of Moscow on a grand scale. You will get a strategic response from Russia that you do not want. But his warnings keep falling on deaf ears.

I think we have to understand that the dementia patient is really a metaphor for the West at this point. President Biden is is not entirely sure where he is at any given point in time, he's not even sure of his audience, the people he's talking to. Stoltenberg is such a shameless puppet of the United States and what it wants to pursue strategically that even in Norway they've begun to notice--and the Norwegians have been among the most foolish of the peoples in Scandinavia with regard to Russia. Stoltenberg's father, by the way, was a very distinguished gentleman who did much good work. The current Stoltenberg is obviously not in that category and he's about to be replaced by Mark Rutte from the Netherlands who is even worse than than Stoltenberg. It's interesting to me that the people that we have selected to be our Talking Heads for NATO and what we do--we ultimately do make those decisions in Washington--we picked this Norwegian and now we're picking a Dutchman, two states of, what? less than five million people [Netherlands, 18 million] that have almost no Armed Forces by the standards of, say, Russia, Turkey, or the United States. And we're letting them be our spokespersons.
The whole thing is a travesty and I hope the Europeans are paying attention. I'm beginning to get indications from people in Finland and Sweden that they are waking up. They've suddenly figured out that these [US] missiles that Putin is talking about could end up on their soil without any notice or permission whatsoever, and could be aimed and fired at Russia. So I think they're finally figuring out that this is utterly ridiculous because there is no evidence that the Russians have the slightest interest in going into Finland, Sweden, or Denmark, or anywhere else. But I don't think anything's going to change until the dementia patient finally steps away. When he steps away I think you will see the ability of others to step forward and say, 'We've gone as far as we can, we need to back down,' and when I say 'back down' I mean back down--stop the nonsense. There's no one who is sane who is interested in a war with Russia, no one who is sane in Europe or the United States today, except in the United States.
Judge: Correct me if I'm wrong. That neocon mentality seems to dominate in both parties, put aside Trump. I think that world changes if he becomes president, but if Joe Biden goes away in the next couple of weeks the neocon mentality, I think, still prevails.
I do think we could see change even before the election. The people at the top of the Democratic party may not be people that I would vote for, but they're not stupid. And they realize that they've got a a tiger by the tail.
I served at a pretty high level in NATO. I was fortunate to work for some really wonderful people who are the equivalent to four stars in the British and German armies. I still am reasonably well connected and what I can say is that behind the scenes people are extremely uncomfortable. They don't like any of it. And if you look at the opinion polls in Europe they have turned decisively against a confrontation with Russia. Even Scholz, who is another lackey for Washington, has stated publicly that under no circumstances will any German soldiers or any German in uniform go to Ukraine. Even in Poland where there was initial enthusiasm for this crazy crusade against Russia, people have now stepped back and said, 'No, we really don't want to end up a smoking ruin like Ukraine,’ and I think that's the bottom line. If you look at what's happened in Ukraine, multiply it by a hundred times, and that could be Eastern Europe in a very short period of time. And the question is, Why? What are we trying to achieve? All this business about democracy versus fascism or communism is nonsense.
Two points. It’s interesting that Poland just manifested yet another sign of the political turmoil in Europe. Liberalization of abortion was a very major part of the platform and campaign on which Tusk’s coalition came to power. The legislation was just shot down in the Polish Sejm by a split in the coalition, a sign that the government coalition is a weak one and that conformity to the EU is probably not the priority among Poles that it is for Tusk’s crowd.
Secondly, regarding what we’re trying to achieve. The answer lies in something like the old Lone Ranger gag, when Tonto asks: What you mean ‘we’, White Man? The true driving force behind the war on Russia has all along been The Israel Lobby. Yes, there are imperial minded goyische kops out there, fellow travelers, but the real sustaining force is the Jewish desire for revenge against Russia—no matter how it’s masked in high fallutin’ nonsense about freedom in an unfree Ukraine. As Macgregor hints, the people at the top of the Dem party—including Obama—recognize that this is psycho stuff that they (and the GOPers) have enabled. It can’t go on.
[Re the supposed 100K US troops Zhou says are in Europe]
Those 100,000 ground forces are a drop in the bucket. You're talking about a minimum of 800 to 900,000 Russian troops that oppose you. You've got 100,000 American troops and they're going to be the core of a European Force that's going to attack Russia? That's absurd! If they're strung out along perhaps a thousand kilometers from Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Slovakia, move down to Romania. Who are we kidding? I mean, it's too widely dispersed, it's not effectively organized, it's not adequately trained. At this point I don't know what the morale and discipline are like, but the things I'm hearing about the behavior of our troops in Poland doesn't encourage me to see much good there.
So the bottom line is [those US troops] can't be a trip wire because the Russians are certainly not going to attack Poland, they're not going to attack those Baltic littoral States. They've never had any intention of doing so, but what Putin has made very clear is that, if we allow missiles and aircraft to be launched from territory that is NATO territory, Russia will regard the source of those missiles as legitimate targets. So within the space of an hour we could see dozens of airfields, airports, and troop cantonments, storage areas, command and control sites, essentially vaporized in a hail of missiles.
There are always foolish Americans that are members of what I call the Bombs Away Club. They think that our greatness is served when we bomb hapless opponents. What we've got to understand is, up until now we have been attacking people who cannot defend themselves. If we are drawn into a direct confrontation with the Russians, which looks eminently possible given the stupid remark that we're making, then you're going to be up against a force that can fight back on a dramatic scale. We need to wake up. We need to ask ourselves, Why? What is the purpose? What do we gain from this? The Ukrainian people aren't going to gain anything--that state that nation is destroyed.
An example of that mentality, as well as of the mentality behind the war on Russia:
Israel carried out another unprecedented massacre this morning and killed more than 70 civilians including many children.
The Israeli military used American MK84 dumb bombs to carry out several airstrikes on hundreds of tents of displaced families in Al-Mawasi west of Khan Yunis, killing 71 civilians and injuring 289 others, Israeli media reported.
The Israeli lobby organization in the United States - AIPAC, once again admitted that they control and interfere in the elections in the United States. This time they say that they bribed and supported 100 Democrats.
More on that dynamic below.
Judge: Colonel, before we segue to Israel and Gaza, Professor Ted Postol this morning reports that Ukraine has attacked a Russian nuclear warning system at Orsk. Is this a credible report and, if it is, how dangerous is this? Do [the Ukrainians] ask Tony Blinken and Lloyd Austin before they can do something like this?
It doesn't sound as though they do, and frankly it's really the CIA that's running the operation there. So the real question is whether Ambassador Burns [who heads the CIA] had anything to do with this, because--as President Putin and and Sergey Lavrov pointed out--we have provided targeting information and overhead surveillance and intelligence to the Ukrainians.
Judge: Colonel, the most reputable medical journal in the world, the Lancet, is reporting that the likely deaths in Gaza--when everybody is counted--will be 186,000 dead. Professor Mearsheimer, using his sources, says it'll be closer to a quarter of a million. The Lancet figure is 8% of the population, the Mearsheimmer figure is about 10% of the population. Is this enough to demonstrate war crimes?
I don't think there's any question about that anymore. The Israelis continue to bombard Gaza every night, and you ask yourself, 'Where are the targets? What are they hitting?' I mean, there's just nothing to hit. And if the goal is to destroy Hamas, I doubt very seriously that Hamas has put itself anywhere where it could possibly be destroyed by the IDF Air Force. Instead, I think you're just killing civilians. And remember, this was the critical turning point after 7 October. It became more and more clear with each passing week that the Israeli goal had nothing to do with retribution for 7 October. It was a campaign to systematically destroy or kill the population of Gaza. So I think these numbers are very reasonable. I don't doubt it. Now we have people being told in the United States that no news media will publish any figures that don't come from the Israelis effectively.
Judge: I think Mr Netanyahu should be here in a couple of weeks and see if it makes any impact.
As long as the money continues to flow from The Lobby into the reelection campaign funds of people sitting on the Hill it it may not make any difference. I certainly haven't seen that but there's another casualty figure that we need to get and we don't have it: That's the casualty figures for the Israelis because, remember Israel has really only about 6 and a half million people from whom they can draw manpower for the Israeli Defense Force ... This is obviously criminal, what's happening in Gaza. There's no more debate about that.
Judge: How long can they sustain this? Because of course their economy is in Ruins and now we continue to hear about preparations to go into Southern Lebanon. So this is poised to do one of two things: either implode or to go ballistic, if you will--and engulf the entire region.
Everything is going to turn right now for Israel on what they do in southern Lebanon. If they press ahead with the attack on Hezbollah all bets are off. It becomes a regional war and at that point you may see a willingness [on the Israeli side] to step in and say, we've gone too far. But right now I don't see it.
Judge: If it becomes a regional War what does the United States do? Air power and Naval power but, I would imagine, not troops on the ground.
That would be suicidal. What are we going to send? The Army is down to, what? 450,000, and when you start going through the the lists of troops and capabilities you have very few fighting troops. This is what people don't understand. You see a big number, 200,000, you immediately assume well this is a huge force with great capability, but you look more carefully at it you're lucky to get 50,000 combat troops out of that 200,000. So we don't have much in the way of combat power, so no we're not going to send them, but we will try to lean heavily on air and naval powe. But again, we're living in the missile age today. Missiles can now reach targets at great range. The the day of hiding at sea in the Mediterranean with your carrier battle group or off the shore in the Indian Ocean and living invulnerable invincible lives out there is over. All of these things are targetable. They can all be found, they can all be targeted. Everybody says, 'Well, they can't sink a carrier. You don't have to sink a carrier. All you have to do is put its flight deck out of business. Worse, you can damage the nuclear reactor aboard, in which case it can do nothing anyway. Then it becomes a magnet for help and assistance from other ships in the fleet who are trying to save the carrier. So then you have the opportunity to sink lots of targets or destroy even more. This this is a disaster waiting to happen.

I see no one exercising any kind of control or influence over the Israelis--certainly not over Mr Netanyahu, because as he points out regularly he controls our Congress. He says that and thus far I'd say there's a lot of evidence that he's correct. I agree with you on that.
Judge: So what does he want when he comes in two weeks that he doesn't already have?
I think he wants to command the audience and signal that we have to support him and what he will bill as the final stage of the conflict. When you listen to him he's talking about moving to the next steps. That means Southern Lebanon and also finishing off Gaza and potentially his enemies in the region. And he talks about the militias in Iraq, the militias in Syria, the militias in southern Saudi Arabia or Southern the Arabian Peninsula, the Houthis. He talks about finishing everything, in other words. This is this is the Final Conflict [a Zionist Final Solution?], and that also means Iran. I think he's going to try and extract from people--privately, at any rate--absolute assurance that they will support him in his war with Iran and that we will come into that. He may not want much from us, but he wants to know that we will send our Intercontinental bomber force over there and level as much of Iran as possible. And remember, you and I know there are lots of people--in the Senate, at any rate, and some in the House--who are only too happy to do that. If they can find a reason to destroy Iran they will use it, and I think that's going to be the topic of discussion behind the scenes.
Of course, Iran—as well as Russia and China—will have a lot to say about that harebrained scheme. As for the mentality of bombing hapless and defenseless civilian populations as well as the general vulnerability of our carrier battle groups, here’s how it feels to be on the receiving end:
US Navy Pilots from USS Eisenhower came home to Virginia, after the most intense sea battle the Navy has faced since World War II.
B. Orloff, Navy pilot, told reporters “We weren’t used to being fired on ... I’ll be honest, it was a little traumatizing for the group” - AP
It’ll be a lot more traumatizing if the Houthis receive really capable anti-ship missiles, the kind the Russians and Chinese and Iranians could supply. Hezbollah seems to be playing that card close to the vest so far.
Slow learner--Yellen is the person in charge of sanctions. But ...
Yellen:
"Sanctions will lead to the demise of the US dollar"
US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen:
“The more sanctions the US imposes, the more countries (BRICS) will seek financial transaction methods that do not involve the US dollar”.
Thank God for Macgregor’s realism, eloquence, moral clarity and honesty, not to mention his knowledge and experience of military matters and history. I wish Trump would put in some calls to him as he seems to with Musk. Out with the “dementia patient” and these two terrible wars.
