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.

Official data already shows that US data centers consumed about 176 terawatt-hours of electricity in 2023, representing roughly 4.4% of total electricity demand, and that figure is expected to surge dramatically as AI and cloud infrastructure expand. This is not a linear trend. Between 2014 and 2023, power consumption from data centers more than tripled, and projections suggest usage could reach between 6.7% and 12% of total U.S. electricity consumption by 2028.

So when analysts warn that data centers could soon approach 7% or more of total electricity demand, they are not exaggerating. Some forecasts from the Electric Power Research Institute even estimate that data centers could consume up to 9% of U.S. electricity generation by 2030.

The key issue is that this surge is being driven largely by AI infrastructure and digital services, which are far more energy intensive than traditional computing. Advanced AI servers alone require substantially more power, often using two to four times the watts of conventional hardware, while massive campuses under construction can consume gigawatts of power, which is equivalent to millions of homes.

The industrial revolution demanded coal, the 20th century demanded oil, and now the digital age demands electricity. The US Energy Information Administration has already warned that electricity demand growth is accelerating after decades of stagnation, driven significantly by the expansion of data centers. Electricity infrastructure in the United States was not designed for computational loads operating 24/7. Utilities are now being forced to expand grid capacity, invest in transmission, and upgrade generation just to accommodate data center demand, which in many regions is becoming the dominant driver of new electricity consumption.

This will inevitably translate into higher electricity costs. Studies already show that grid upgrades and capacity pressures linked to data centers can push up residential electricity bills and strain regional power markets. That means households will ultimately subsidize the digital infrastructure of Big Tech through rising utility costs. This is a hidden tax most people do not yet see.

Capital is flowing into AI, cloud computing, and digital infrastructure at an unprecedented pace. But capital concentration into one sector always creates bottlenecks elsewhere. In this case, the bottleneck is energy. This trend confirms a broader shift in the global economy. We are replacing physical production with digital computation, yet computation is not energy free. In fact, it is becoming one of the most energy-intensive sectors of the modern economy.

This is why the energy crisis of the future may not begin with oil shortages, but with electricity shortages. The digital economy is energy dependent, and as confidence shifts into AI and computational systems, the real foundation of economic power becomes the electrical grid itself. Those who control reliable energy will ultimately control the next phase of economic growth.

The resignation of World Economic Forum President Borge Brende is being framed in the press as a simple leadership transition, but the underlying issue is far more revealing about the crisis of confidence now unfolding within global institutions. Brende stepped down after his past contacts with Jeffrey Epstein came to light.

According to reports, the disclosures showed that Brende had “three business dinners with Epstein” and exchanged emails and messages with him, which immediately triggered reputational pressure at the highest level of global governance circles. Brende ultimately stated he chose to resign after “careful consideration,” saying it was the right moment for the Forum to continue its work “without distractions.” That wording alone is telling, because institutions do not speak about “distractions” unless the damage is political and reputational rather than legal in nature.

What we are witnessing fits perfectly within the broader cycle of declining institutional credibility that I have warned about repeatedly. The World Economic Forum has positioned itself as a central pillar of global public-private governance, yet its leadership is now being scrutinized over associations that date back years. The Epstein files have already prompted investigations and fallout across Europe’s political elite, illustrating how deeply interconnected the global policy class has become.

Brende, who has led the WEF since 2017, admitted to contacts in a business context and said he was unaware of Epstein’s criminal background at the time, while an independent review reportedly found no additional concerns beyond what had already been disclosed. Yet in politics and global governance, perception is often more powerful than formal findings. Once confidence begins to erode, leadership changes become inevitable regardless of whether wrongdoing is established.

We are moving into a phase where global institutions from international organizations to multinational policy forums are losing the aura of untouchable authority they once enjoyed. The resignation is not just about one individual. It reflects the growing public distrust toward unelected globalist bodies that attempt to shape economic and political policy on a global scale.

German police in Heilbronn launched an investigation against a retired man who commented “Pinocchio is coming to HN” under a police Facebook post announcing a visit by Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Baden-Württemberg’s prime minister. The comment included a long-nosed emoji, yet authorities still initiated proceedings under Article 188 of the German Criminal Code, a law introduced in 2021 that criminalizes insults against politicians if they are deemed to hinder their public work and can carry penalties of up to five years in prison.

“When we come across cases of criminal activity during our monitoring of social media, we will file a suit or submit it to the public prosecutor’s office for review,” the police office’s social media team reported. You read that correctly—the police now have social media teams that are in charge of monitoring citizens’ online communications.

The investigation reportedly began after police monitoring of social media posts connected to the official announcement of Merz’s visit, demonstrating a proactive surveillance of public commentary rather than a reaction to a direct complaint. The poster said that his comment was “an ambiguous, symbolic, and satirical expression of opinion in a political context,” and yet, he is being charged as a criminal for likening the chancellor to a fictional character known for telling fables.

Merz recently said that he wants to destroy online anonymity. The government needs the ability to monitor every user in real-time. Western civilization is no better than traditional dictatorships that force civilians to live in fear of speaking out. Criticizing the “king” could result in criminal charges. Authoritarian control cannot tolerate free speech. We will see governments increasing their crackdown on any perceived dissent, increasing surveillance measures to ensure the masses do not question authority.

There have always been straight an homosexual since ancient times. The term “Philadelphus” was given to Ptolemy II because he married his sister. Of course, William Penn named his city Philadelphia with the Christian interpretation that I love my brother. He did not understand the ancient true meaning that existed long before Christianity. Not sure why this has become hate speech without a derogatory attack on someone. I asked ChatGPT how many genders are there and this was it’s answer. It seems they disregarded biological gender with gender identity which are two separate definitions. They are not the same.

What this video shows is how brainwashed the LIBERAL voters truly are. To believe that ANYONE does not have ID and they are too poor to have one in order to vote is pure stupidity. The only people without ID can ONLY be illegal aliens. The Democrats are becoming so offensive all to retain power to force their failed Marxisy policies to destroy the country as those ideas destroyed China, Russia, and has reduced Europe to the lowest economic growth of any major country.

My father was a Democrat. There is absolutely NO WAY he would be voting Democrat today. He took me in 1960 to listen to JFK in Willingboro, NJ. Since I was just 10 years old, JFK as a politician, came to me to shake my hand. I guess in those days they use to kiss babies. I do recall people also uttering ignorant comments that JFK was a Catholic so the Pope would tell him how to run the country.

You had to show two IDs in NYC just to shovel snow. This is a sad statement on the LIBERAL white youth in Berkley that they are this ignorant for what they think of African Americans being so ignorant to be able to get an ID, reflects on their own level of intelligence. I certainly would not hire such an individual with this level of stupidity.

Looking around the world, I have not found any major country where someone does not have ID.

Americans “still trust Trump more than the Democrats — and in every category,” according to an ABC poll. The joke used in the piece is actually very telling: in politics, you do not need to outrun the lion, you just need to outrun the other candidate. That is a far more accurate description of modern democratic systems than any ideological explanation.

People do not suddenly develop blind trust in government. They shift confidence away from institutions they believe have failed them. When voters say they trust one political figure more than a party, it is often a vote against the establishment rather than a vote for a personality. Left-leaning policies failed. Every American suffered a decline in their quality of life during the Biden Administration as a direct result of his policies that curbed the US economy in favor of globalist policies. The Build Back Better community collectively agreed that America should no longer be the world’s leading superpower. Then an anti-establishment politician entered the arena and demanded nationalism. Meanwhile, the Democrats continue pushing the same failed policies that the majority no longer support.

Approval ratings for Trump’s presidency still sit in the low 40% range, with disapproval in the mid-to-high 50% range, depending on the aggregate, which demonstrates a deeply divided electorate rather than unified support. At the same time, surveys repeatedly show dissatisfaction with both major parties, leaving many voters mistrusting the political system as a whole. Modern polling is highly fragmented, and partisan interpretation dominates the narrative. One poll may show distrust of Trump on specific issues like inflation or foreign policy, while another shows voters trusting Republicans more than Democrats on key economic concerns.

In October, only 18% of Americans said they were “better off” under Trump compared to 22% today. Most realize that the nation’s economic reality is not the result of a single politician. Furthermore, the difference between an isolated politician and the entire Democratic Party is ever so slight. There is only a 1% difference, for example, in voters believing Trump solely is reducing the cost of living compared to Congressional Democrats.

In the end, the real takeaway is not that one side is overwhelmingly trusted. The real story is that confidence in the political class as a whole continues to decline, and voters are making choices based on credibility rather than absolute belief. That is a far more dangerous long-term trend than any single poll headline.

Boris Johnson took to social media to denounce the war in Ukraine. “I don’t want a fifth anniversary,” the former UK Prime Minister said. Yet, if not for Boris, there may not have been a first anniversary.

Surely Boris Johnson recalls his urgent trip to Ukraine in 2022. President Zelensky was poised to accept a peace agreement with Russia. Boris Johnson reemerges from the shadows whenever he hears word that a war may be winding down. Johnson’s visit to Kyiv in April 2022 symbolized political backing for continued resistance rather than compromise, especially during the period when negotiations in Istanbul were reportedly being explored. Would the most powerful government officials risk traveling there if Kyiv was under constant attack? Would they publicly stroll the streets in Russia’s alleged top target? All of the neocons visited Ukraine in 2022 to take pictures with Zelensky dressed in his military attire and pledge their nations’ resources to combating a common enemy.

Davyd Arakhamiia, leader of the Servant of the People, released a damning piece of information that has been swept under the rug as it proves Moscow attempted to end this war long ago. This key information is important to keep in mind as the Neocons have infiltrated all upcoming elections. Davyd was present during the peace talks with Belarus, Russia, and Turkey in 2022, shortly after the war began. Putin allegedly came to the meeting with a drafted peace agreement that would end the war if Ukraine granted Russia neutrality. The Permanent Neutrality of Ukraine and Security Guarantees contained 18 articles with “everything is spelled out, from military equipment to personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.” Avoiding future NATO membership was part of the agreement, but Russia was willing to surrender and end the war then and there. 

Zelensky looked to his Western financiers who demanded he continue the war. Johnson made a “surprise” trip to Kiev as soon as the peace agreement was publicly discussed. The failed PM once again came out of the shadows in 2025 to denounce the 28-point peace plan drafted by the United States.

Once again, Boris Johnson is urging the West to escalate the war to “pressure Putin.” Peace has NEVER been the objective. Hundreds of thousands of lives could have been saved if not for these bloodthirsty neocons.
