Introduction

Over time, I have written several comprehensive series of articles on the outcome of the great conflict between the Collective West and the Global South, most recently in my series “The war between two worlds has already begun” (Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5). I came to the conclusion that this conflict will last a very long time, but that the multipolarity of the Global South will ultimately prevail.

For some time now, I have been considering writing a new series that would assess the individual conflict zones in sequence: the military ones (Gaza, the West Bank, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Ukraine, Greenland, and now Venezuela); the economic ones (tariff and sanctions wars waged by the US against China, Russia, India, Brazil, Japan, and South Korea, among others). This will be a huge undertaking and will probably not be addressed until next year.

However, while preparing for this series, I was inspired by one of my closest friends and conversation partners—an experienced and educated man from Italy—to consider the idea that evil, when recklessly unleashed and used in psychopathic doses, can also overcome an opponent who is rational and educated in every other way. – I (had to) consider the idea that evil, when ruthlessly unleashed and used in psychopathic doses, can also overcome an opponent who is superior in terms of all rational and intellectual criteria.

We are exploring these ideas today.

Definition of evil

Evil as a concept is usually defined as deeply immoral behavior and is associated with actions that cause unnecessary suffering and pain to others. In literature and philosophy, the concept of evil is one of the main themes. Bulgakov's Master and Margarita, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Socrates, and many others deal with it in a depth that my intellect simply can't keep up with.

When I feel overwhelmed by abstract concepts, I regularly look for examples; in this case, malice in geopolitics. If you ask the man on the street about evil in history, you will be inundated with terms and names such as Nazis, Hitler, Pol Pot—the popular examples of evil in recent history, names and groups that are systematically kept alive by the media in the West. As always, a simple and catchy worldview is served up on a silver plate to distract from what is truly evil—and present.

Who embodies evil in geopolitics?

If you stray from the well-trodden paths of Western propaganda history, you will soon come across a book that should be declared a standard work on 20th-century history: “Conjuring Hitler: How Britain and America Made the Third Reich” by Guido G. Preparata. A book whose contents are concealed from the general public. Preparata not only meticulously proves that Hitler was financed and made possible by American and British funding, but also dispels the myth that World War I was started by the Germans rather than the British. Furthermore, Preparata proves that the British not only deposed Russian Tsar Nikolas II in 1917 and brought Lenin to power, but also ostensibly supported the Whites in the Russian Civil War (1917-1922), only to let them bleed to death in a veritable manner; Approximately 10 million people died in this British-led bloodbath alone.

The powerful of this world do not enjoy this magnificent book. As a result, Preparata's entry on Wikipedia has been deleted and can now be found on pluspedia.org.

The British lost their supremacy as a hegemonic power after World War I, but definitely by World War II—at least that's what people think. This may be true in terms of Great Britain as a world power and political entity. Nevertheless, the power of the British as a political unit seems to be greater than would be appropriate in military terms. The British thrive on myths such as the SAS, James Bond, and MI-6, because their armed forces are no longer what they used to be. The arrogant islanders currently have more admirals than warships.

When I visited retired CIA officers and former high-ranking officers of the US armed forces in the US this summer, this imbalance between actual military strength and the British's real influence was a major topic of discussion. On the one hand, the British influence can be attributed to MI6, as the British secret service operates without any moral constraints and is very efficient and ruthless. An older colleague told me about Operation Ajax, when MI6 overthrew Mohammad Mossadegh in Iran in 1953. The British had the CIA at their side, which followed along like an apprentice, amazed and admiring; an attitude that the CIA still has toward its colleagues from London today, according to my sources.

City of London - Rothschilds

In connection with British power, the term “City of London” and—behind closed doors—the name Rothschild come up again and again. When it comes to terms and contexts that those in power want to keep under wraps, it is relatively easy to get confirmation of this: my question to GROK, “What is it with the power of the City of London?” was answered after about 15 minutes with “No response.” That is also an answer.

The Rothschilds became famous, among other things, for being the first to learn of the outcome of the Battle of Waterloo through the use of carrier pigeons, thereby making a fabulous profit on British bonds. The fact is that for centuries, the Rothschilds financed all parties involved in every war and major project and always came out on top, true to the motto: the more blood that is shed, the richer we become.

Furthermore, the influence of the Rothschilds in Western central banks is undoubtedly a fact. Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744–1812), the founder of the great dynasty, once said:

"Give me control of a nation's money, and I care not who makes its laws." 

Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744–1812)

The Rothschilds' wealth was and remains legendary. Thus, their political influence extended not only in London, but across the entire European continent. The wealth and power of the Rothschilds was so enormous that even poets—such as Heinrich Heine—often wrote about them, sometimes admiringly, sometimes ironically, but always aptly. Heine, who knew James de Rothschild (Paris) personally, wrote in a letter in 1843:

“Mr. Rothschild is a man who rules Europe and feeds kings. He is the true secret power of the continent. When he sneezes, the stock markets tremble.”

Heinrich Heine, 1843

The Rothschilds' power was thus greater than that of kings, and it was based on an ingenious information network, political power, and above all, financial resources that surpassed those of all royal houses and seemed immeasurable.

In 1815, the Rothschilds attempted to gain a foothold in Russia at the Congress of Vienna. However, their efforts were in vain, as Tsar Alexander I managed to prevent this – the Rothschilds promised revenge and it is rumored that the outright slaughter of the tsar's family, including all his children, in Yekaterinburg in 1918 can be traced back to the Rothschilds; whether this is true, I do not know.

Since 1945, the Rothschilds are said to no longer exist as a power

The Rothschilds themselves and all the major media outlets around the world would have the global population believe that this hegemon of money and global capital has had no significant influence since World War II and now confines itself to operating a few private banks, collecting art, managing castles, and crafting delicious wines. There is no evidence whatsoever that the Rothschilds were impoverished by World War II, and it would probably be the first time in human history that a dynasty would have voluntarily renounced power and money. How much power the Rothschilds really wield at present is hard to say. The Rothschilds were, however, also the big financiers of the richtest industrial families of the 19th century in the United States. It seems likely that these power structures are still in place today and wield their financial influence among others through entities like Blackrock and the likes. The exact composition of these puppet masters is unknown to outsiders, and when I asked questions, I was advised not to dig any deeper; it would not be good for my health, and I would run the risk of being dismissed as a conspiracy theorist by the bought-and-paid-for chatterboxes in the Western media.

The power that no one wants to acknowledge

In my opinion, it is these groups that wield power in the countries of the Collective West, have determined the fate of the world for centuries, and will do everything in their power to continue to do so in the future. These groups do not care if half of humanity perishes in a conflict that makes them even richer and more powerful. These groups do not think in terms of quarters, as Americans do, but in terms of decades and centuries. Law, morality, and decency are not concepts that embody any value for these power brokers. They never have to face the public or justify their actions before the court of humanity. Instead, they keep servants, currently in the form of people such as Trump, Macron, Merz, Starmer, Netanyahu, etc. These, in turn, proclaim and implement the unacceptable, the unspeakable, and make taboos such as genocide socially acceptable, supported by Western media whose decision-makers are blackmailed or bought – see my article "Genocide as ‘self-defense’ - Western media as accomplices in the genocide in Gaza."

The tools that translate the unspeakable

Do you remember the solemnly sealed ceasefire and hostage exchange between the Israelis and Hamas? How many days ago was that? For my part, I didn't even think it necessary for our blog to report on it, because I would have bet my farm that it was just a deceitful charade by the US and the Israelis—and I was right. Representing everything that is unsavory in this world, let's hear from Ben Gwir:

The Israelis have thus lost the last shred of credibility—I doubt that humanity, as a whole society, can afford to have such members. Nevertheless, the Western media are deliberately preparing for the continuation of the genocide, as exemplified by the Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) on October 29, 2025:

“Netanyahu orders attacks on Gaza – Israel responds to provocations by Hamas.”

Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) am 29 October 2025

Calls for military escalation

The fact is that the Collective West is actually taking positions that make no sense when you consider the balance of power. With regard to the Ukraine conflict, for example, the triumvirate of the willing—Merz, Starmer, and Macron—is demanding the withdrawal of Russian troops or at least a freeze on the conflict at the line of contact, even though the Russians could not have the slightest interest in freezing this conflict. Mr. Trump's constant flip-flopping does not make the situation any clearer, but it does at least cause “Russia experts” such as Gilbert Doctorow, whom we recently discussed in “When an ‘expert’ loses his footing,” to seem to lose their nerves. Two weeks ago, he announced that, due to President Putin's hesitant behavior, Russia's “elites” were preparing to depose him, nota bene, without defining who these “elites” might be.

The fact is that there are voices in Russia calling for tougher action against Ukraine or even strikes against NATO facilities. However, this is nothing new; it is as old as the conflict itself. The possibility of a tougher approach was also lively discussed within my circle of contacts and was also mentioned in articles, e.g., “The consequences of the intercepted German Air Force conversation mean war.” The Kremlin has so far refrained from such escalations. I write “Kremlin” because the claim by some “experts” that President Putin makes decisions single-handedly is complete fantasy. President Putin has an excellent team with whom he works, who he listens to, and then makes decisions. People in both the East and West should be grateful that President Putin does not allow himself to be provoked by the hotheads in Brussels, Berlin, Paris, London, and New York.

Evil escalates to the point of downfall

Those who call for military escalation regularly conceal the consequences of such escalation, which, in my opinion, is irresponsible and foolish given the existence of nuclear weapons.

If we want to quantify evil, we must also admit that those who are armed with the weapon of evil have no inhibitions and are just waiting for the other side to be drawn into escalation so that they can then do the unspeakable.

Alternative: Economic escalation

Sanctions bring nothing but misery

Most geopolitical analysts neglect the economic weapons that are available. Although the West has been trying to bring countries to their knees with sanctions for years (Cuba since 1960, Iran since 1980, Russia since 2014, China more recently), this instrument has never been successful, except in causing suffering among the weakest in the countries affected. For example, US sanctions caused the deaths of half a million children in Iraq. When asked about this, the then US Ambassador to the UN, Madeleine Albright, replied:

“I think that is a very hard choice, but the price, we think, the price is worth it.”

US-Botschafterin Madeleine Albright, CBS 60 Minutes 1996

When we talk about evil, I personally believe that in exceptional cases it is perfectly acceptable to speak ill of the dead; Albright died in 2022.

The Western financial system is built on shaky ground

Although the opposite is claimed in the West, I am firmly convinced that the Western financial system is hanging by a thread: the debt of governments, the corporate sector, and private households is out of control, stock and bond valuations are at insane levels, and inflation is two to three times higher than reported by government agencies. One of the best indicators that everything is in disarray is the price development of precious metals, especially gold and silver. Experts have told me that it would be easy for China to corner the manipulated COMEX and LBMA gold and silver markets, which could lead to a collapse of the Western financial markets. A financial nuclear strike from the East, which has not yet been carried out, would rob the Collective West of much of its freedom of action and would be a viable non-military wake-up call for the West.

Conclusion

An opponent armed with the weapon of evil has the advantage. He knows no morals, has no inhibitions, and will never have to take responsibility for his terrible deeds, because evil acts in the dark. I am firmly convinced that the forces I have described exist and have done so for centuries. They not only survive revolutions, world wars, and genocides, but order them. From time to time, their servants, whom they use, are held accountable to show the world that justice exists—a wicked charade.

However, skepticism in the Global South is growing along with its power, and as the center of gravity shifts from West to East and the hidden powers have their center of power in the West, hopefully good will prevail, but only if evil remains at the doorstep of the Global South.
