In a post yesterday, I mentioned that former president George H.W. Bush served as the director of the CIA during the mid-1970’s. I noted that he was at CIA “during the height of Operation Condor, an international ‘kidnap-torture-murder apparatus’ run by six Latin American dictatorships and coordinated by Washington.” I also noted that after becoming Ronald Reagan’s Vice President, he “became an architect of the ‘secret government’ that came into being for the Iran-Contra operations.”

According to The Intercept, George H.W. Bush was a central figure in the White House cover-up of the operations of what Arthur Liman—chief counsel for the Senate Select Committee that investigated the Iran-Conta Affair—called a “secret government-within-a-government … with its own army, air force, diplomatic agents, intelligence operatives and appropriations capacity.” The Independent Counsel who investigated the Reagan Administration’s crimes, Lawrence Walsh, concluded that the cover up was so effective, that it “possibly forestalled timely impeachment proceedings against President Reagan and other officials.” Bush also misled the FBI in an attempt to cover up an Operation Condor plot that assisted the Pinochet government assassinate former Chilean diplomat Orlando Letelier, a political opponent of Pinochet, on a Washington D.C. street in 1976. The car bomb that killed Letelier also killed Ronni Moffit, a United States citizen and human rights activist.

To train the Contras in Nicaragua, the CIA recruited veterans of Argentina’s Dirty War. The Contras then “ignited a decades long war that killed an estimated 50,000 Nicaraguans.” Bush led the effort to finance the Contras by launching an operation with the code-name Black Eagle. The co-conspirators employed a Cuban exile and CIA agent named Felix Rodriquez to run arms to insurgents in Central America. “Black Eagle masked its operation by relying on the Israeli Mossad” who then acquired and shipped the weapons into Central America. The Mossad used Panamanian airfields and companies as fronts. But the planes, once emptied of their arms cargo in Central America, were repurposed by Panamanian Dictator Manuel Noriega and the Medellín Cartel to ship an estimated $3 to $5 billion worth of drugs back into the United States. “The CIA allegedly struck a deal with the Medellín Cartel’s primary contact, Barry Seal.” Seal supplied weapons to the Contras in exchange for the CIA’s protection for his drug-smuggling operations. Of note, according to Robert Oakley, who served as the US ambassador to Pakistan in the late 1980s, “the local CIA station was working hand in glove with Afghan mujahideen leaders who were heavily involved in the narcotics trade, even after the withdrawal of Soviet troops.”

Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Gary Webb—first in a series of articles published in the San Jose Mercury News, and then in his book Dark Alliance: The CIA, the Contras, and the Crack Cocaine Explosion—documented that the co-conspirators efforts to fund the Contras led directly to the rise of the “crack cocaine epidemic in America, specifically in Los Angeles.” According to Webb, “a Bay Area drug ring sold tons of cocaine to Los Angeles street gangs and funneled millions in drug profits to the CIA-backed Nicaraguan Contras.” The Bush-led conspiracy also secured funding for Contra operations in the amount of $40 million from Gulf-state monarchies; and by coordinating with co-conspirators in the Israeli government to traffic more than 2000 anti-tank missiles to Iran in violation of the Arms Export Control Act. Once he acceded to the presidency, “Bush ordered the invasion of Panama in 1989 to remove Noriega from power.” Bush also directly interfered with Independent Counsel Lawrence Walsh’s investigation into the illegal operations, when he pardoned six administration officials, “including former Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger.” The then Attorney General Bill Barr did nothing to prevent Bush from issuing those pardons.

I also mentioned yesterday, that Bush’s son, George W. Bush, knew about the September 11 attack before it happened, but did nothing to prevent it. That same pattern can be seen in the way Benjamin Netanyahu’s government handled the intelligence it received before the October 7 terrorist attack in Israel in 2023.

In 2010, The Guardian reported on a botched Mossad training exercise in Tel Aviv the previous year involving the planting of a car bomb. The article goes on to document a short history of Mossad operations. According to the article, Mossad’s old motto was “By way of deception thou shalt make war.” Since the 1970’s, it has been Mossad’s practice to recruit double agents to conduct its operations. During the 1970s, Mossad agents began “recruiting and running informants in Fatah and other Palestinian groups.” As early as 2010, Yossi Melman, an intelligence correspondent with Haaretz at the time, worried that Netanyahu’s government may be compromising Israeli national security by focusing on what he called “the wrong enemy – the Palestinians.” During a seminar at the Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law at Stanford University in May 2026, Melman noted that before the October 7 attack, “[f]emale spotters had warned for weeks about unusual activity along the border, but their commanders told them to report only what they saw, not what they thought it meant.” When asked whether he thought the Israeli government “deliberately strengthened Hamas to weaken the Palestinian Authority,” Melman indicated that he did, and that the government did so because Hamas would be a “useful tool for a government that wanted to keep Palestinians divided.”

Melman’s comments track other reporting that indicates Netanyahu knew about the October 7 attack before it occurred. According to Rolling Stone, the New York Times reported on a 40-page document code-named Jericho Wall that had circulated among Israeli government officials the year before. That document stated that terrorists were planning an attack that involved “an onslaught of rockets, drones intended to incapacitate security cameras and automated machine guns along the border, and gunmen to enter Israel via paragliders, motorcylces, and on foot.” The Times reported that three months before the attack, which resulted in “the death of 1,200 people and the abduction of 200 hostages,” a veteran Israeli signals intelligence officer warned that Hamas had staged a training exercise very similar to the attack outlined in Jericho Wall. She reported that the exercise she witnessed was “a plan designed to start a war.” However, her warnings were dismissed by an IDF colonel in the Gaza Division. The night before the attack Israeli intelligence reported seeing signs of irregular activity along the border. Despite those repeated warnings, Netanyahu never put IDF forces on high alert. After the Times reporting about Jericho Wall, the spokesperson for President Joe Biden’s National Security Council, John Kirby, indicated to Meet the Press that Netanyahu did not provide the American intelligence community with a copy Jericho Wall.

Just as George W. Bush used the 9/11 attack as a pretext to launch the global war on terror—including the illegal war in Iraq—Benjamin Netanyahu used the October 7 attack as a pretext to launch a genocide in Gaza; a genocide where IDF forces have deliberately targeted children, aid-workers, and civilians, some whom were identified with AI targeting.

Netanyahu’s connection to this decades-long conspiracy goes deeper than simply sharing the same playbook. He is implicated in the ongoing Epstein scandal plaguing the second Trump Administration as well. Jeffrey Epstein, who mysteriously died while in prison while awaiting federal trial for child sex-trafficking, had dealings with Jes Staley, a former JPMorgan executive. The pair communicated via email, even while Epstein was incarcerated in Florida on state child solicitation charges. “Staley originally met Epstein in 2000 after he became head of JP Morgan’s private bank, where Epstein was a client. Staley later took over as chief executive of Barclays, one of the UK’s largest banks, in 2015.” He has since resigned from Barclays in disgrace. While he was still at JP Morgan in 2011, another bank employee emailed Staley that they had been granted a meeting with Netanyahu. Staley then forwarded the email to Epstein apparently thanking him for facilitating that meeting. Epstein replied to Staley saying “surprisee [sic] surprise.”

Of note, Epstein also connected Staley to high-profile individuals from around the world, including Dubai businessman Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem and an individual connected to Vladimir Putin. I have previously commented on the Trump syndicate’s financial dealings in Dubai and Saudi Arabia. Donald Trump’s deep involvement with Putin has been extensively documented. And Donald Trump has himself been accused of trafficking children to the Saudis. Also of note, nearly three full minutes of surveillance footage was cut “from the only functioning camera near Jeffrey Epstein’s prison cell the night before he was found dead.” None other than Bill Barr was the Attorney General at the time of Jeffrey Epstein’s mysterious death while in federal custody. Bill Barr was also the Attorney General who lied to the American People about the findings of the Mueller Investigation.

I also mentioned yesterday that many of those involved in this conspiracy to usurp power from the American People were, or still are, members of the Skull and Bones secret society founded at Yale University in 1832. Another secret society was heavily involved in plunging the United States into the chaos of the Civil War. And like Skull and Bones, the KGC have been implicated in the assassination of a U.S. President. The KGC “initially sought to establish a slave-holding empire in the ‘Golden Circle’ region of Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America.” The original goal of the KGC was to expand the Cotton Kingdom all the way to South America. A Cincinnati businessman formed this secret society around 1858 with members of the pro-expansionist Order of the Lone Star. After its formation, they “began pushing for disunion, spearheading pro-secession rallies, and intimidating Unionists in the South.” Their regional military commanders were among the “South’s major political and military figures.”

The KGC have not only been implicated in “clandestine actions before the Civil War, including attempts by insurgents to take over federal forts in Virginia and North Carolina,” but they also planned to assassinate Abraham Lincoln in Baltimore as he traveled to his first inauguration in 1861. Once the Civil War broke out, “the KGC helped build the emerging Confederate Army and assisted with the pro-Confederate Copperhead movement in northern states.” After the Union proved victorious, John Wilkes Booth, himself a member of the KGC, assassinated President Lincoln at Ford’s Theatre. Though most likely impossible to prove with hard evidence given their predilection to destroying such evidence, Skulls and Bones may have had direct dealings with the KGC due to both groups’ formation around the same time, and due to the KGC support of the traitorous Copperhead movement in the North.

In 2014, the Los Angeles Times reported that gold coins worth $10 million, discovered in Northern California the previous year, were not likely stolen in a 1901 heist at the U.S. Mint. All the coins were minted sometime between 1847 and 1894. Theories abound about what came to be known as the Saddle Ridge Gold. One theory put forward by Warren Getler, a former Wall Street Journal reporter, was that those “coins may have been buried by the Knights of the Golden Circle … that some believe buried millions in ill-gotten gold across a dozen states to finance a second Civil War.” According to Getler, “the time period, markers near the cache and manner in which the coins were buried fit the mold of the KGC.” Of note, the Nazis modeled their Nuremburg Laws after the discriminatory laws birthed in the American South.

Whether the conspiracy I outlined yesterday is complicit in the assassination of one U.S. President or two, I don’t know. What is undeniable to me, however, is that the original purpose of the KGC—conquer Central America to cement the Slave Power in perpetuity—seems to be the implemented foreign policy of the United States under the Reagan Administration, the George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush Administrations, and both Trump Administrations.
