The second edition of “The Plot to Seize Russia – The Untold History” is now available for purchase in paperback and hardcover on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. The ebook will be available shortly.

Book description:

“Take care of Russia,” Boris Yeltsin said as he departed his presidency in August 1999. These words were directed at current Russian president, Vladimir Putin. Yeltsin specifically picked Putin as his predecessor to prevent the takeover of Russia.

So, who was Yeltsin warning against? Newly declassified documents from the Clinton Administration prove that there was a plot to rig the Russian election of 2000. These never-before-seen documents confirm numerous attempts to implement pro-Western policies using the Russian oligarchy headed by Boris Berezovsky.

On the other side were the communists who desired a return to the glory days of the Soviet Union. As one of the largest international hedge fund managers, author Martin Armstrong found himself in the middle of perhaps the greatest espionage, or attempt at a regime change for Russia, in modern history.

The Plot to Seize Russia pulls back the curtain to expose the most extraordinary attempt to seize power in modern history, but with the pen rather than armies. These declassified documents reveal a plot that has altered our thinking about the relations between the United States and Russia. The thirst for power comes seething through every line of these papers that alter our perception of reality, change the course of history, and now threaten us with World War III.

Stories are circulating that Barack Obama funneled money through the Cayman Islands to NGOs. While that cannot be entirely verified, the portion of the story regarding the Obama Administration setting up a Twitter clone for Cuba called Zunzuneo is accurate.

The US government under Obama sought ways to subliminally target the people of Cuba while bypassing the strict communist government restrictions on social media. USAID paid government contractors to create “Cuban Twitter,” which first launched in 2009. Initially, ZunZeneo (translation: “hummingbird”) used the platform to discuss neutral topics such as sports, weather, and entertainment. Once the platform expanded to hundreds of thousands of Cubans, the US government began inserting political messages aimed at inciting civil unrest.

The Associated Press even ran an article about the incident in April 2014, “US secretly built ‘Cuban Twitter’ to stir unrest.” A leaked memo from Mobile Accord Inc., the company responsible for creating the platform, emphasized the importance of hiding the US government’s involvement. “This is absolutely crucial for the long-term success of the service and to ensure the success of the Mission,” the memo said.

Slow growth was essential for the covert operation. The social platform utilized cellphone text messaging to bypass Cuba’s internet restrictions. “Non-controversial content” on hot topic was used to build a mass subscriber base. Nearly half a million people were subscribed to the platform before the content changed with the goal of organizing “smart mobs” to “renegotiate the balance of power between the state and society,” as one USAID memo revealed.

USAID did not attempt to conceal its involvement, noting in a public statement that the agency was “proud of its work in Cuba to provide basic humanitarian assistance, promote human rights and fundamental freedoms, and to help information flow more freely to the Cuban people,” whom it said “have lived under an authoritarian regime” for 50 years.

USAID claimed it was operating legally, but covert mission to influence foreign politics must be approved by the president. Former President Obama was aware of the program but could not openly discuss his involvement. Cubans were persuaded to rebel with known legal repercussions, wholly unaware that the messaging was coming from a foreign government. “Mock ad banners will give it the appearance of a commercial enterprise,” one proposal suggested.

“The Cuban government, like other regimes committed to information control, currently lacks the capacity to effectively monitor and control such a service,” Bernheim wrote in a proposal for USAID marked “Sensitive Information.”

Acting Secretary of State Hillary Clinton knew of the mission. By 2011, she began openly discussing the importance of infiltrating foreign governments via the internet to lead to “revolutionary change.” Others in the Biden Administration were left in the dark. “We were told we couldn’t even be told in broad terms what was happening because ‘people will die,'” said Fulton Armstrong, who worked for both the Clinton White House and later the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The ZunZuneo management team was also unaware of US involvement.

USAID NGOs hired Cuban artists to draft messages to appeal to the people. The “Peace without Borders” concert in 2009 was the largest gathering since the visit of late Pope John Paul II. The US government used the occasion to gather intel through ZunZeno. Unassuming polls were sent out to the people, with some messaging containing subtle political components. One message asked respondents if they believed anti-government artists should join the concert. The US government gathered the cell phone numbers of the people who seemed receptive to use in future targeted attacks. This is completely illegal and a violation of data laws.

“If it is discovered that the platform is, or ever was, backed by the United States government, not only do we risk the channel being shut down by Cubacel, but we risk the credibility of the platform as a source of reliable information, education, and empowerment in the eyes of the Cuban people,” Mobile Accord noted in a memo. Shell companies were created throughout various nations, including the Cayman Islands where the company banked with N.T. Butterfield & Son Ltd.

“In the implementation has the government taken steps to be discreet in non-permissive environments? Of course. That’s how you protect the practitioners and the public.” USAID spokesman Matt Herrick noted. “In hostile environments, we often take steps to protect the partners we’re working with on the ground. This is not unique to Cuba.”

Influencing foreign politics is certainly not unique to Cuba. A USAID contractor by the name of Alan Gross was sent to Cuba to provide internet access to the people. The program was launched shortly after he was arrested, as his initial goal to compromise Cuba’s internet failed. USAID is solely used to influence foreign politics under the guise of providing aid that the American people provide through taxation.

The platform vanished from the internet in 2012 when Obama was running for his second term. Social media is a favorite tool of government to influence the masses. The amount of money allocated to Cuban Twitter is unknown since USAID operated extremely discreetly, funneling money to endless NGOs to conceal its motives.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk believes the man who allegedly destroyed the Nord Stream pipeline did his country a great service. Tusk is considering breaking international law by harboring the fugitive who is wanted by the German government. The man, of course, will be the scapegoat for the incident. More telling is Warsaw’s response, rooted in old geopolitical tensions and willful ignorance of how drastically the explosion hurt their own economy.

“The problem of Europe, Ukraine, Lithuania, and Poland is not that Nord Stream 2 was blown up, but that it was built,” Tusk said. “It is certainly not in the interest of Poland to hand over this citizen to a foreign country.” Poland will hold the man in its custody for an additional 40 days, during which it will consider Germany’s demand that he be extradited for prosecution.

“Russia, with money from some European states and German and (Anglo-) Dutch companies, built Nord Stream 2 against the vital interests not only of our states, but of all of Europe, and there can be no ambiguity about that,” Tusk concluded.

Poland has always been caught between Germany and Russia. From the Polish partitions in the 18th century to Soviet domination in the 20th, the Polish political class views any direct German-Russian cooperation as an existential threat. Poland initially protested the pipeline because it felt that Germany was attempting to remove Eastern Europe’s main bargaining chip with Moscow — energy transportation. They invested in LNG terminals, aligned with US energy interests, and positioned themselves as the eastern front against both Russian and EU central control.

The European Union and the euro could never erase generations of geopolitical hatred and scars. Warsaw simply sees Berlin as the lesser of two evils when it comes to Moscow. Tusk’s comments are a deliberate attempt to create friction with Germany and undermine the power they continue to hold over Poland as the economic center of the EU.

One bad apple spoils the bunch, and in the case of Europe, one bad economy will do the trick. Europe was reliant on Russian energy for many years prior to the war. Poland was purchasing 95.5% of its oil from Russia in 2012; the figure declined to 63.1% by 2021 before the war. Yet, Tusk is condemning former German Chancellor Angela Merkel for agreeing to the Nord Stream pipeline. Energy prices spiked by 30% after the pipeline demolition, fueling valid fears of energy shortages across the continent.

The pipeline itself may have been a Russian majority asset, but the infrastructure projects and joint ventures sprouting from the pipeline benefited Europe. European firms, including Wintershall Dea (Germany), E.ON (PEG Infrastruktur, Germany), Gasunie (Netherlands), and ENGIE (France), collectively held 49% of the Nord Stream AG operating company, while Gazprom itself retained 51%.

By now, the world knows that Western intelligence agencies deliberately targeted the pipeline in an act of war. The man detained would be considered a terrorist if these charges were factual. Perhaps they do not want to conduct a fake investigation or trial that would raise suspicions. Tusk needs to look down and realize he’s been shot in the foot with the destruction of this pipeline that ALL of Europe, not merely Germany, benefited from.

QUESTION: Marty, is there any chance you can buy this hoard to sell for Christmas?

P

ANSWER: I will have some coins for Christmas, but it is unlikely that this gold hoard of 141 coins will ever reach the market. These were found in Luxembourg. They have very draconian laws. All archaeological discoveries, including Roman coins, are considered part of Luxembourg’s national cultural heritage and are the property of the state. You are legally obligated to report the find to the authorities. It does not matter if they have one coin and you have 1,000 more of the same coin. They keep them all and put them in a box, just like in the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark.. Because of the arrogance of academics who insist that everything belongs to them, I would never donate 10 cents to them. I have one friend who said he would leave his ex-wife to them.

In Britain, if you find a hoard of Roman coins, you must first report them. The Coroner will hold an inquest to determine if the find legally qualifies as Treasure. If it is declared Treasure, the Treasure Valuation Committee (a panel of independent experts) will determine its full market value.

Local and national museums are given the opportunity to acquire the Treasure by paying the valuation sum. The reward is split equally between the finder and the landowner, unless a prior agreement states otherwise (e.g., a 50/50 split is standard). You must have permission to be on the land to be eligible for a reward.

In the United States, the government is always greedy. If you find a shipwreck, the government instantly claims the title of these wrecks to the state in whose waters the wreck is located. You cannot claim “finders keepers.”

It all depends on where coins have been discovered. Britain is the best of all. What these governments do not understand is that they are so damn greedy that, since you get nothing and they DO NOT cover your expenses, there is no point in searching for anything.

I was asked back in the 1990s if I would fund the excavation of the library in the Villa of the Papyri of Herculaneum, the most luxurious Roman villa, filled with art and a library beyond compare, containing all the lost works yet to be excavated. So far, more than 1,800 papyrus scrolls have been discovered in the 18th century. They had been carbonized when the villa was engulfed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

Obviously, you cannot retain anything. The primary issue is that it is located 100 feet underground, and a town has been built on most of the Villa. That is easy to see with this picture I took. The government lacks the necessary funds to complete the job, which is part of the problem. They claim ownership and block anyone from recovering anything. So much of the Villa remains untouched. The original 18th-century excavation, which employed tunnel mining techniques, uncovered a vast portion of the villa, including part of the renowned library that housed the papyrus scrolls. However, this early excavation was haphazard and incomplete. Thus, state funds are directed at politicians to retain power.

You can see the depth of Herculaneum and the problem that there is a town over the site itself. The owner of the Villa of the Papyri was a relative of Julius Caesar. The leading candidate for the owner of the villa is Lucius Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus (c. 100– 43BC). He was a powerful Roman senator and consul. Piso’s daughter, Calpurnia, was married in 59BC to Julius Caesar. She was his last wife and famously tried to warn him not to go to the Senate on the Ides of March.

Piso was a respected and influential senator from a noble plebeian family. By marrying his daughter Calpurnia, Caesar gained a crucial ally within the conservative senatorial establishment (the optimates) who could help smooth the passage of his legislation and defend his interests while he was away on his campaigns in Gaul. As a direct result of this alliance, Piso was elected Consul for the year 58 BC, the year after Caesar’s consulship. He used his position to protect Caesar’s political arrangements from his enemies in the Senate. Piso prevented his daughter from being forced to marry Mark Antony. Piso, as the father-in-law, played the most direct and important role in Julius Caesar’s political career.

The Getty Museum in California is a copy of the architectural plans of the Villa that were discovered.

Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel was the first person to admit that the Minsk Agreement was a ploy to buy time to help Ukraine build its military. The Western powers never intended to honor the Minsk Agreement or any of their peace deals with Russia. Yet, Angela Merkel believes there is a bigger culprit behind Russian aggression—COVID-19.

“We couldn’t meet anymore” because Putin was “afraid of the coronavirus pandemic.” Merkel’s theory: “If you can’t meet, if you can’t discuss your differences face to face, you won’t find new compromises.” In a recent interview, Merkel plainly states, “Corona is the main reason” why Russia attacked Ukraine.

Merkel also stated in a separate interview that she has been a political “scapegoat” for escalating Russian aggression. People blame Merkel, unfairly, I will add, for continuing to purchase Russian oil at that time. She has been attacked for failing to boost Germany’s defense during her tenure. The public believes that Germany used the Minsk Agreement to appease Putin, but Merkel herself admitted the deal was to boost Ukraine.

Not only is she blaming COVID, but Merkel is blaming Poland and the Baltic States for preventing the European Union from establishing direct contact with Russia. She mentions that these EU nations were also keen on importing Russian energy, because politicians were unwilling to sabotage the energy sector before Brussels had complete control over the EU bloc.

“In my opinion, it was necessary to try to resolve conflicts with Russia peacefully. At the same time, we also strengthened the principle of deterrence… At the 2014 NATO summit in Wales, a goal was set for all countries to spend two percent of their gross domestic product on defense. I recognize that the energy with which this was advanced was limited,” the former chancellor said.

This war began in 2014, long before the pandemic. Putin invaded as a direct response to the Minsk Agreement hoax, and in reality, Merkel knows the truth. “But I don’t believe that when he came to power in 2000, he was already planning to attack Ukraine one day. Rather, it is a development in which we in the West must also ask ourselves whether we have always done everything right,” the former chancellor noted in a separate interview. True. Putin did not enter politics with the intent of restoring the Soviet Union. The entire reason Yeltsin handed Putin the reins of power was to prevent Russia from being overtaken by the hardliner oligarchs who DO want to see a USSR revival.

Merkel has gone off the rails in her interviews since leaving office. Her frankness is refreshing for those of us who understand the long con game these neocons have been playing–Merkel cannot bite her tongue to conceal the Plot to Seize Russia.

Journalist Savannah Craven Antao was expressing her First Amendment rights, articulating her Christian viewpoint on abortion, when she was punched in the face by an angry interviewee. The assailant fled; Antao went to the emergency room, where she received stitches for her injuries. Unfortunately, the incident occurred in New York, where the corrupt court system sides with violent criminals. The entire incident was caught on film, but Soros-appointed DA Judge Alvin Bragg found no instance of criminal wrongdoing.

The video of the attack went viral on social media. Similar to Charlie Kirk, Savannah is merely a citizen interested in engaging in thought-provoking discussions with people who may not share her viewpoint. The New York court system reaffirmed that conservative voices may be met with violent rage. Brianna Rivers, the assailant, did not even receive a slap on the wrist. Bragg’s office first downgraded her felony charge to a misdemeanor. The office then failed to meet a critical discovery deadline, which resulted in the case being completely dismissed.

Rivers maintains innocence and claims Savannah antagonized her into a violent rage. It is a common excuse by the left– “I disagree with your viewpoint, but I cannot articulate my own, so I must resort to violence.”

Thomas More Society attorneys are now imploring to repackaging the case as a felony hate crime. “District Attorney Alvin Bragg has an opportunity to show his office is truly sorry for putting Savannah, and every woman witnessing her faith in New York, at risk,” said Christopher Ferrara, Senior Counsel at Thomas More Society. “Or is Bragg just sorry because his bungled case is now making national headlines?”

“This is Bragg’s moment of truth,” Ferrara continued. “Actions speak louder than words. Reviving the felony charge and pursuing a hate crime charge would show real accountability and send a message that political violence has no home here. We believe there is a reasonable legal basis for doing so.”

Alvin Bragg was installed to perpetuate the message that the government is protecting chaos carried out by the left. Bragg campaigned solely on a promise to take down Trump, but failed over 100 times, and has made a mockery of the US legal system. His office turned a blind eye when migrants violently attacked police officers. Five young men were arrested and immediately released without bond, back into the public, where they could re-offend without consequence. He turned a blind eye to the pro-Hamas protests at NY universities, even when actual members of terrorist organizations were found to be among attendees. “Soft-on-crime” is code for controlled anarchy. The courts have been compromised as tools of the political elite.

The latest from the Neocon Fake News, ISW (Institute for the Study of War) started by Victoria Nuland’s sister-in-law, is always the same. Russia is weak; it is about to collapse, but at the same time, they are about to attack NATO, so we should invade now. The new line is “ISW specialists suggest Moscow is now likely conducting ‘coordinated preparatory actions as part of a phase aimed at creating physical and psychological conditions’ for possible military emergencies.” 

When I examine the sources promoting World War III, it comes down to three, and none is trustworthy, to say the least. All three put out “opinion” based analysis that is by no means objective.

A Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics (SITE) report prepared for the EU finance ministers argued that Russia’s economy is “only superficially resilient” and that underlying imbalances and structural weaknesses make continued large-scale war spending unsustainable.

Then there is Victoria Nuland’s family venture, the ISW.

Analysts and institutions associated with the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) have noted that weak growth, dwindling reserves, and the strain of sanctions give leverage to Russia’s opponents.

The think tank Bruegel claims its mission is to improve the quality of economic policy with open and fact-based research, analysis, and debate. Bruegel’s membership includes EU Member State governments, international corporations, and institutions. Brugel has argued that Russia’s economic model is “no longer delivering,” citing rising costs of sanctions evasion, loss of export markets, and labor constraints.

Everything these pretend think tanks put out is so one-sided, and it is clearly meant to promote war. Why? This is simply about conquest at this point to strip mine Russia to resurrect and save the crumbling EU. The ISW are just warmongers, and what will they do without Russia to hate? When we look at the economic data, Unemployment has declined for 26 years during Putin’s Administration.

They will never tell the truth because the attempted regime change of Russia that I was asked to fund and refused back in 1998, will NEVER be investigated because it would expose Hillary and why she even started RussiaGate. It was James Comey who kept me in prison on civil contempt for 7 years with no charges whatsoever. He is the one at the FBI to whom John McCain handed Hillary’s fake dossier to start Russiagate. The people in the deep state will NEVER allow anything to rise to the top, fearing that if they ever did investigate my case, it might expose this whole drive for WWIII and prevent it.

Let’s look at the GDP. This clearly indicates that 2025 is a turning point, and we then observe a sharp rise into 2027, accompanied by very high volatility. This is likely a reflection of a war economy.

When we turn to the Ruble, we see a Panic Cycle in 2027, and this year is a Directional Change. These fake pretend THINK TANKS who are warmongers through and through, will get their way because the press always takes their BS and tells the world Russia is weak, it is a “paper tiger”, and we can walk in and Putin will fall to his knees and the Russian people will cheer and thank them for saving them.

Trump should send the troops into these Think Tanks and arrest all of them for treason against humanity.

Health care spending has been at the forefront of the Democrats’ tantrum that led to the government shutdown. Where else do they plan to send tax dollars? The continuing resolution to keep the government open for another six months has a few stipulations that should raise questions.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is to receive nearly half a billion dollars. The initial budget proposal presented by the Democrats included over $1.1 BILLION in taxpayer aid to broadcasting platforms like PBS and NPR.

Congress is on a perpetual vacation funded by the people. The people are demanding that these public servants work, and the Democrats believe that they deserve a $157 million raise for underperforming. All members of Congress are to be appointed personal security and residential security system. They are also requesting $10 million in security to the state office. Yet, the average American is forced to live in or near crime-ridden cities that these people insist are safe. Crime is a byproduct of MAGA rage, apparently, and only the politicians deserve to feel safe in America.

Dead Congressmen deserve a death gratuity, since they’re working equally as hard as their living peers. The temporary resolution includes a $174,000 payout to the families of Raul Grijalva (AZ), Gerald Connolly (VA), and Sylvester Turner (TX).

Here’s a kicker—the neocons are inserting their agenda within this bill and demanding that the US government allot $437 million to the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development. Countless aid has been sent to Ukraine, but the US government cannot operate unless we send another half-billion-dollar package.

Why should Americans be forced to spend on these extremely biased stipulations that do not benefit the people in any way?

American news outlets are not reporting that Italy has come to a complete standstill over the Gaza protests. Millions of Italians took to the streets after Israel seized the Sumud flotilla. The Italian military was initially guiding the flotilla until it was forced to standby.

Four Italian opposition politicians from the Five Star Movement, Greens, and Left Alliance (AVS) were among those detained, and around 20 of the activists detained by Israel were of Italian origin. Dock workers in Genoa, Naples, Livorno, Ancona, and other ports will not touch any shops bound for Israel. CGIL and USB, the largest unions in Italy, called for a general strike on October 3. The protest spread like a contagion across the nation to over 100 cities.

Public transportation is not available. Flights are grounded. Schools and universities temporarily shut their doors. Hospitals are operating at minimal capacity as workers simply walk out. In Rome alone, over 300,000 people marched from Piazza Vittorio to Porta Maggiore demanding freedom in Gaza, but it is believed at least one million people descended on the nation’s capital overall. Over 100,000 protestors in Bologna blocked the A14 motorway. Another 80,000 men and women marched through the streets of Milan. Organizers stated 50,000 people took to the streets in Turin and another 40,000 in Genoa. This movement spread extremely rapidly with little notice. There were existing grievances against the Italian government, clearly, and Italian authorities are simply outnumbered.

Transport Minister Matteo Salvini responded by warning the organizers will “pay personally” for beginning the massive unrest, adding “if violence prevails, the state will react.” Georgia Meloni mocked the protests, brushing them off as “a long weekend disguised as revolution.” Strikes blocking transportation in Italy are commonplace, but not of this magnitude. “Today, 1 million Italians will be left stranded on trains alone,” Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini told the Mattino Cinque television show.

That’s one expense “long weekend” with early estimates believing the nation lost €143–178 million due to the strike, at the low end. Other estimates, factoring in the 2 million striking workers, blocked transport, lost labor hours, and delayed commerce, put the cost at €600–900 million.

The protests are about more than simply the flotilla or Gaza aid. The working class and youth are leading these protests, disgruntled at the cost-of-living crisis, while the European Union sends endless aid to fund foreign wars. Discontent is growing on a global scale. There is a reason that the American media refuses to air what is happening in Italy—and across the continent of Europe, as similar protests are on the rise.
