Fulford’s Report:
US economy to fall off cliff despite yet another Trump avatar
Read Cultology: The Coerced Investor—Data Centers are the symptom, not the problem
The international campaign to quarantine the Israeli-occupied US government is leading to the economic and social collapse of America. This is happening even though the syphilis infected “President Donald Trump” avatar has been replaced and is shifting away from Israel.
US military intelligence summarized the situation as follows:
“The fake Trump has been removed. The alleged late stage Syphilis infection was the most likely cause of his dementia. There is a new avatar in place. This is a more congenial puppet. This is the reason Netanyahu is planning on flying to DC again very soon. To actually see how much control he still has over the new Trump.”
This is why “Trump” abruptly canceled his golfing plans in Bedminster, New Jersey, over the Memorial Day Weekend due to mysterious “government circumstances.”
This is also why “Trump” missed his son, Donald Trump Jr., and Bettina Anderson’s wedding celebration in the Caribbean this weekend.

This change is also why “Trump” announced he would send 5,000 U.S. troops to Poland just weeks after ordering the same number of forces pulled out of Europe.
However, it is clear there is still a battle of “Trumps” going on because sometimes two different Trumps appear on live TV at the same time with different speeches.

The people behind the just removed “Trump” are still trying to manipulate markets. Martha Stewart went to prison for saving herself $45,673 using an illegal stock tip. Donald Trump traded stocks 3,700 times between Jan— Mar of this year, totaling between $220–$750 million, and used the presidency to make his stocks go up… And he’s walking around a free man.

They also seem to be deliberately trying to paint “Trump” as insane. In the latest, “Trump” gratefully thanked Turkish President Erdogan for his warm words about him: “President Trump is the leader the world has been waiting for for centuries. He doesn’t talk about strength, he is the embodiment of it.”
This remark was deleted after the Turkish government informed the American side that President Erdogan never said these words, and asked to remove the post.
Then, in another seemingly deliberately crazy move, “Trump” proposes “United States of the Middle East” on Truth Social.
Polish intelligence explains body doubles for people like “President Trump” or “Bill Gates” are needed because “Power in the Matrix must be stable. When the system invests billions of dollars and decades into creating a politician, president, king, or pop culture icon, it cannot afford for that pawn to suddenly die.”
So what we are witnessing is a control matrix that is splitting and using competing “Trumps” to try to grab power.
While this infighting continues, US military intelligence affirms, “The U S of A will collapse economically. Nothing can stop what’s coming. It has already begun.”
Most Americans are already well aware of this, as 76% of US adults believe economic conditions are “getting worse,” while 61% are cutting back on groceries.
This is only going to get worse as rising interest rates and high gasoline prices start affecting the price of housing, food, travel, etc.
Famous economist Peter Schiff says “we are going to face an economic crisis that will make the 2008 crisis look like a Sunday school picnic.”
This will be restricted mainly to Israel and its US colony because the rest of the world is abandoning them.
Canada and Mexico are teaming up with Europe as MAGA turns into Mala=Make America Alone Again.
EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President António Costa signed an updated trade deal with Mexico on Friday. Canada has already done so, and is busy making deals with the rest of the world.
This comes as the Iranian Navy said Sunday a total of 33 ships had passed through the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours, a 50% increase from earlier in the week.
In the latest, a South Korean tanker has passed through the Strait of Hormuz under coordination with Iran, marking the first known transit by a South Korean vessel since the outbreak of the US-Iran war in late February.
https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10742061
The spokesman for Iran’s Parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, Ebrahim Rezaei, explains, “Our plan is to bankrupt Trump politically and economically,” by pressuring all countries, especially Middle Eastern countries, to stop doing business with USrael.
What this means is almost all nations on earth now have abandoned the Israeli US colony, and the Straits of Hormuz are only closed to them. The US is now expected to run out of oil and fall off an economic cliff this summer as their strategic reserves run dry.
In addition to the international financial and economic boycott of the US, a massive military move to free the American people from satanic Israeli control has begun.
That is why Canada suspended a joint defense agreement with the US that dates back to World War II. Now, the European Parliament has formally consented to Canada’s participation in the EU’s €150-billion Security Action for Europe programme.
Polish MEP Borys Budka framed the vote as a statement about the new architecture of transatlantic defense. “Transatlantic cooperation is no longer just a slogan; it is becoming a supply chain,” he said. “We do not just share values, we share a common perception of threats. Europe is rearming. Canada is with us. That is the message today’s vote sends to the world.”
Now, to finish off USrael, military delegations from over 120 nations will attend an international security forum being organized by Russia’s Security Council.
Of the 54 African nations, 50 will send representatives, while most Middle Eastern and Latin American countries will also participate. Furthermore, all member states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), BRICS, and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), including such heavyweights as China, India, Iran, Indonesia, and Pakistan, will take part.
This accounts for around 70% of the world’s population.
In addition, informal representatives from 12 Western-aligned countries including Japan, the UK, France, Germany, Canada and Hungary will attend, according to Russian FSB sources.
The Russian proposal is to end all wars by having collective security. What this means is the Israeli-controlled US is being militarily as well as economically quarantined by the rest of the planet.
https://www.rt.com/russia/640522-russia-first-international-security-forum/
A big test for this new Russian security architecture is coming. Turkey is passing a law to grab greater control over the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean seas that would formally challenge the sovereignty of more than 150 islands in the Aegean.
https://www.euractiv.com/news/eu-faces-turkey-test-over-maritime-territory-grab/
This means either Russia intervenes or the EU and Turkey go to war.
However, as a sign that the Russians and the rest of the world know exactly who the real enemy is, Russia demolished a ‘Satanic Temple’ in Moscow and arrested its leaders after authorities targeted an illegal occult compound that had long outraged local residents.
https://www.rt.com/russia/640323-satanic-temple-torn-down-moscow/
Now North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has announced that if the United States attacks Iran with nuclear weapons, he will launch nuclear ballistic missiles at Tel Aviv and Washington, D.C.

The US, meanwhile, is planning a Hail Mary-type move against China by using Japan to foment a crisis.
The main person pushing for Japan to declare war with China is Under Secretary of Defence for Policy Elbridge Colby.
He is the grandson of former CIA head William Colby.
William Colby wrote the book Conspirators’ Hierarchy: The Committee of 300 under the pseudonym of John Coleman. He was killed as a result.
This seems to be affecting Elbridge Colby’s worldview. He has been critical of the Vatican, telling them they needed to obey the Pentagon. He also tried to tell the UK to stay out of the Indo-Pacific. He is also pushing the military rupture with Canada and the other Anglo-Saxon countries.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2026/05/19/us-pauses-defence-partnership-canada/
What he does not seem to understand is the Committee of 300 was just an advisory committee to the British Monarchy and not the center of Western power. That remains the Octagon group in Switzerland composed mainly of European royals.
In any case, according to Richard Koshimizu of the Japan Independence Party, Colby is playing a dangerous game by trying to push Japan into war with China.
This is being seen in the creation of the “National Power Research Group,” a parliamentary group of Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) slaves supporting puppet Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. It was founded by main Rothschild Japan agent LDP Vice President Taro Aso (85) and Shinjiro “the Japanese must obey the Jews” Koizumi (45).
Their first meeting on May 21st featured a “commemorative lecture” by U.S. Ambassador to Japan Glass.
The ostensible purpose of the group’s formation is to hold policy study sessions and support the realization of the promises Prime Minister Takaichi made in the last general election. While it is called a “policy group,” the reality is they distribute money and jobs based on orders from their KM masters.
When asked by reporters in the Diet on the 19th whether he intended to join this parliamentary league, Minister of Internal Affairs Seiichiuro Murakami responded with a look of disbelief:
“Why would we need to hold an organization like that, which is like the Imperial Rule Assistance Association? It’s nonsense.”
The fact he deliberately cited the Imperial Rule Assistance Association as an example is important. This was a group set up during World War II to
promote thought control and war cooperation in Japan. While boosting national morale through ideological education and propaganda activities, it also prioritized resource allocation to the munitions industry and carried out nationalistic (totalitarian) activities throughout the country.
It aimed for a totalitarian system of governance modeled after Nazi Germany and Italy’s Fascist Party.
The fact that Aso is the founder and supreme advisor of the “National Power Research Association” is also important. In a speech in Tokyo on July 29, 2013, he said, “The Weimar Constitution in Germany gradually transformed into the Nazi Constitution without anyone noticing. Perhaps we should learn from that tactic.”
It looks like they are planning to create a food crisis in order to start fascist rule. The Japanese government currently holds a mere 320,000 tons of rice in reserve. This is only enough for 15 days of consumption. This is less than one-third of the previously considered appropriate level (1 million tons), and the difference is dire compared to neighboring China, which has a 1.5-year supply in reserves.
This is being orchestrated by the “Ministry of Finance, agricultural destruction, and globalism.” They have been driving farmers into bankruptcy with a whole variety of malignant policies. At the same time, consumer rice prices have risen by more than 100% in the past year despite abundant harvests. The money taken from both farmers and consumers is being handed over to the KM.

Professor Nobuhiro Suzuki of the University of Tokyo Graduate School says, “What Japan is doing now is a ‘self-imposed siege by the state.’”
https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1FjJLBzazc/
There is going to be a reckoning in Japan soon, and these KM traitors will be eliminated, right-wing sources close to the Emperor say.
However, even though Aso wants to use Hitler’s example for nefarious purposes, if you look at how Adolf Hitler actually turned around Germany’s economy, the current US Weimar republic would be wise to follow his example.
This is not to support Hitler’s war crimes like the holocaust or mass murder of civilians, only to look at what he did for the German economy.
Starting at the 29-minute mark in the speech linked below, Hitler describes how he took over a “democracy controlled by a few hundred capitalists who control how everyone thinks but face no constraints themselves on how they use their capital.”
He says Democracies “talk about freedom of the press, but each newspaper has a financier owner,” and if any editor writes something the owner disapproves of, he is fired. He also notes how opinion is manipulated by having people “divided into two parties that differ very little from each other.” Sound familiar?
Hitler said he represented the “have-nots” and used labor to back up the Deutschemark because all of Germany’s gold had been stolen. He also allowed the owners of corporations to take no more than 6% profits, half of which would be handed over to the state. If they used the remainder in ways that did not contribute to society, the government would interfere.
He concluded by saying “instead of the economy being there for the capital, the capital now serves the economy and the economy is there for the people.”
Under his rule, he repudiated all debts. After that, everyone got free healthcare, paid holidays, and a Volkswagen, something that was impossible in other Western countries at the time.

The white hats are proposing something similar for the US. The elimination of all debt, the return of stolen property, and economic management designed to make people’s lives better.
As things stand: For the first time in history, we are living in a kind of feudalism where 350 people own 75% of the world’s wealth, effectively putting an end to democratic systems.
Roughly 3,500 billionaires possess more wealth than the combined wealth of 95% of the world’s population, which totals over 8 billion people. The wealthiest 1% of this tiny billionaire class owns about 40% of global wealth, and the wealthiest 10% own 75%. The poorest 50% of the world’s population—comprising over 4 billion people—owns barely 2% of global wealth.

To keep this system going, “Trump” is swearing in Kevin Warsh ( he is on the Epstein list, and his father is the president of the World Jewish Congress) as the new Federal Reserve Chair.
https://x.com/drhossamsamy65/status/2058146123613650967
Now military vets are receiving letters from the Pentagon warning them that if they speak out against Trump or Israel online, they risk losing their benefits.

These clumsy censorship attempts are a sign of desperation. In a bombshell poll the corporate media is desperately trying to bury, only 33% of registered voters now consider Israel a true ally of the United States.
This is seen at the street level. Even though Rep Thomas Massie had his election stolen, he points out, “My opponent canceled events because no one showed up. The ground game is ours.”
https://x.com/OunkaOnX/status/2056574532652294183
This comment shows what American people think about this blatant theft:
So let me get this straight: it was revealed that the United States ruling class is full of child-torturing pedophiles, and the reaction of the American people wasn’t to immediately revolt, but to vote out Thomas Massie, who helped expose the scandal

It is not just the people who are getting angry; it is also the military. This is playing out with the firing of US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. She was forced to resign after she declared her intention to conduct an investigation into the US Pentagon’s bacteriological laboratories around the world, overseen by Mossad. This is where the worst biological weapons were created, including SARS-CoV-2, Ebola, and the hantavirus.
Stillness General Comment on Fulford Reports
I decided to add this general comment to all Fulford reports since I frequently receive the same questions about them.
Commentary:
In response to many questions and comments I receive from people wondering why I share these reports, I offer the following.
Speaking as someone who has been following Fulford’s reports since 2011, reading them should probably be done with a large grain of salt. That is to say, he seems to share information directly from alleged sources within the Pentagon, CIA, White Dragon Society, and so on. Often the data presented is contradictory on the surface.
The predictions and statements Fulford makes sometimes are highly accurate, whereas, in other instances, they are completely unfounded. Instead of looking to Fulford as one who is “tapped into” some greater truth, it would probably be more productive to consider his data as one possible perspective on what is happening on Earth at this time.
This of course extends to all sources of information. Fulford, like all of us, is only human and can make mistakes. But that doesn’t detract from the work he has done to spread awareness and move things forward to a brighter future for humanity.
Discernment is the process of understanding what something is, which in Fulford’s case, means entertaining his reports without believing them blindly, and then doing the follow-up research/fact-checking to determine what actually happened. In this way, it is a real-time discernment exercise.
The fact that so many people continue to read his reports despite their sensational and wildly inaccurate nature at times—while also being accurate and poignant—means the people he receives information from are probably using him as a mouthpiece to speak to you—the reader who is on their awakening path. As such, blind belief or callous rejection are not our allies but critical thinking and open-mindedness are.
As I have said before, if he is serving as a mouthpiece for various groups working to change the status quo or agents within the Cabal, we can decipher the data as if it is a form of awakening propaganda—information that certain players want to expose the masses to. What effect this has on your personal process is largely up to you. But I would suggest taking an active role in discernment and not falling into the trap of total acceptance or rejection.
