Fulford’s Report:
Dysfunctional Western leadership in death spiral as Saudi Arabia falls
The news over the past week shows the incredibly criminal and incompetent leadership of the West is headed for collapse, even as it still tries to enslave us all. What is obvious to almost everyone now is the leadership of the so-called West is not interested in improving people’s lives and instead is acting in a criminal manner.
Let us take a quick look at what they have been up to:
First of all, they started massive fires in Canada, France, Spain, Greece and elsewhere. These fires have been mostly traced to arsonists and weather warfare. They have also been accompanied by a massive corporate news campaign about the need for us all to give up our private property and hand control over to the cabal to fight “climate change.”
Second, they had Ukraine attack Iranian ships in order to merge the Ukrainian and Iran wars into one mega battle. The problem is, it is a coalition of losers and criminals who have no real military power left.
Third: The Chabad-linked King Mohammed VI was paid to send 60,000 military-aged men into Spanish enclaves in Morocco. This was then used as an excuse for Khazarian Mafia slave leaders like Giorgia Meloni to call for the EU to impose border controls on Spain. Spain responded to this provocation by depriving the “refugees” of water and thus forcing them to return to Morocco. Spain’s alleged crime: opposing Israeli genocide in Gaza, Lebanon and elsewhere.
Fourth: Japan was attacked with an earthquake weapon to try to force it to hand over more money to the Khazarian Mafia. Japan responded by hitting Italy with an earthquake weapon.
Fifth: They staged another Anthony Fauci show, where his avatar appeared in front of the Senate to refuse to testify about his involvement in mass murder via vaccines. Needless to say, he has not been arrested.
Sixth: Their Donald Trump avatar is once again visibly dysfunctional and powerless. He promises to “beat the fucking shit out of Iran,” before being told by the military they are no longer obeying his orders to fight for Israel, “Trump” then backs down.
Seventh: Another so-called “Russian missile” lands in Poland, leading for calls for NATO to declare war on Russia.
Eighth: A massive censorship campaign in the West is failing in its desperate attempt get public support for the Khazarian Mafia to rule us all from greater Israel.
What all this shows is a criminal leadership stuck in a loop of fear and warmongering. It’s a desperate bid to stay in control.
However, even though much of the Western public remains clueless, there were huge signs Western rule was collapsing in real time.
For one thing, a massive international army is now moving in on Saudi Arabia and Israel.
Even more significantly, China has just declared total financial war against the Khazarian Mafia financial system by banning trading in paper gold and silver, as of July 24th. China says this is to protect investors because paper contracts for these precious metals have no physical basis. Europe and the US cannot afford this and will continue to speculate and defraud. We see China beginning to restore normalcy and transparency, preparing for a new gold-based system.
Restrictions apply to leveraged (margin) transactions and deferred delivery contracts. This option allowed individual investors to control positions significantly larger than their cash deposits. Trading in physical gold and silver, ETFs, and standard bullion savings programs remain completely unaffected. The Shanghai Gold Exchange and Shanghai Futures Exchange are operating normally.
This is important because the Dragon Family is asking the US Treasury Department to return physical gold deposited with them during the 20th century. They do not have this gold and now cannot use their fiat money to manipulate gold prices.
At the same time, the Khazarian Mafia is about to lose its control of oil. They have depended on it for power since the US went off the gold standard in 1972. Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States are now falling out of control of crypto-Jews like the Saudi Royal family.
Our own Iranian sources say a military campaign to take over the Gulf States and Saudi Arabia is well underway.
In what is arguably the biggest under-reported news story in many years, Africa has already deployed an international army to fight Israel. This new item hints at it:
President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has reaffirmed Uganda’s strategic commitment to peace and regional stability in the Horn of Africa, Heads of State from troop-contributing countries to the African Union Support and Stabilization Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM), namely Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya, Djibouti, Egypt, and Burundi, the President noted that although Uganda does not share a direct territorial border with Somalia, its military presence alongside regional forces was a deliberate decision rooted in core Pan-African principles.
https://www.updf.go.ug/missions/africa-will-not-abandon-somalia-says-president-museveni/amp/
This means Africa has declared war on Israel by attacking their colony of Somaliland.
Yemen, Iraq and Iran are also waging land war against Israel and its proxies like Saudi Arabia.
Yemeni Houthi reports confirm this:
In a massive show of force, millions of Yemenis flooded Saba’een Square on Friday to support leadership decisions in reclaiming rights, liberating land, and dismantling Zionist-American conspiracies.
The rally called on all free Yemenis to join training camps, support the Armed Forces—particularly the missile force and drone air force—to deliver maximum strikes against the Saudi enemy and its patrons.
The statement described the Saudi enemy as “a compliant tool in the hands of global Zionism,” driven by “historical hatred of our people, absolute obedience to Zionist enemies, arrogance, and subservience to blackmail from the Epstein scandal files.”
The Saudi Arabian leadership, fighting for its very survival, invited 51 countries to join a military coalition to end the Yemeni blockade of their oil exports. Only 14 countries joined the initiative out of 51 invited, while 43 attended its founding meeting on Thursday.
British shipping publication Lloyd’s List says the coalition proposed by Saudi Arabia to secure the Red Sea faces major challenges, saying it appears closer to a political message than a naval force capable of changing the region’s security reality.
Nuclear-armed Pakistan, the country the Gulf KM slave states were counting on for protection, is just not up to the job. Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said on Thursday that the country’s existing governance system has “collapsed” and is no longer capable of addressing national challenges.
https://www.ariananews.af/pakistans-governance-system-has-collapsed-mohsin-naqvi/amp/
The United States and European countries show little interest in joining the coalition proposed by Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman failed to persuade the US administration during meetings in Washington to endorse the coalition.
Israeli Major General Eliezer Marom, a former commander of the Israeli Navy and former head of its intelligence service, says Saudi Arabia and the UAE had failed decisively to “contain the Houthis or limit the development of their military capabilities, foremost among them their missile and drone arsenals.” He added that relying on the “mercenary forces opposing the Houthis in Yemen offers no grounds for optimism” and that Israel could not depend on them.
Meanwhile the United States military is removing its last remaining forces from Iraq. It reports “All” of the Patriot anti-missile batteries had been redeployed to an undisclosed destination (i.e., they have already been used up).
Even the KM propaganda media is tacitly admitting defeat:
Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper, who served in the first Trump administration, argued that the Iran war ought to be internationalized to include America’s allies in Asia and Europe as well as countries that border Iran, like Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan.
“We have to globalize this conflict because it’s affecting international commerce,” he told Bloomberg TV on Thursday. “We’re taking this on too much of ourselves, or to a lesser extent with Israel. So, I think it’s time to globalize it and then think about again our broader set of sanctions, blockading the entire country, squeezing them economically.”
Russia is also looking to expand the map. In recent weeks, it has been launching drones at Romania while a Russian missile landed in Poland, violating NATO airspace.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/ar-AA29daL9
Not long ago these same pundits were bragging the US did not need help from its allies. The reality is the US has become an international pariah and any idea of “globalizing” its war on behalf of Israel is pure fantasy.
In a sign it has run out of military options in the Middle East (and the rest of the world) the Pentagon is asking venture-backed start-ups to rebuild America’s weapons stockpiles at speed.
It is also “looking for new creative and unconventional ways to pressure and punish Iran,” a US Central Command intelligence officer wrote in a message to a group of military analysts.
https://tass.com/world/2168289
This reminds me of Hitler talking about new secret super weapons coming to the rescue as Berlin was about to fall towards the end of World War II. Even if the US starts to rebuild its used-up military inventory, by the time the factories are built, Israel will be gone, and the US will be freed from KM control.
The reality behind these hopeful press releases is that the US military is no longer obeying the orders of the fake Trump and his regime.
What all this means is the US has lost access to Middle Eastern oil. That is why commercial crude stockpiles declined by 7.2 million barrels, while the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) dropped another 3.8 million barrels in the week ending July 4th. “The US accounts for about 70 per cent of global onshore crude inventory draws over the past four months,” said Matt Smith of Kpler.
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/crude-inventories-have-fallen-precariously-low-levels
Desperate to survive, the US is trying to gouge Europe again by forcing it to pay more for gas. Europe’s average gas price climbed 50% year-on-year in July to about $637 per 1,000 cubic meters, according to ICE exchange data and TASS calculations.
https://tass.com/economy/2167899
The EU plans to end imports of Russian LNG under long-term contracts from January 1, 2027. This, of course, would be economic suicide for Europe and they know it.
In reality, Europe has already broken with the US and has reached a deal with Iran to continue importing oil from the Middle East. That is why Brent Crude is back to about $80 a barrel even despite the blockage of Saudi Oil exports.
Another sign Europe has broken with the “Trump regime” is that the US is removing its troops from Europe and has stopped supplying arms to their pet Ukraine project.
When their dictator Vladimir Zelensky met with “Trump” last week, the meeting took place behind closed doors – with no cameras, no joint statements, and no usual show of unity.
Soon after the private meeting, a social media post appeared along with two images – a color photograph and a black-and-white one. The photos show Trump patting Zelensky on the shoulder with a patronizing expression. According to American political tradition, black-and-white photographs are often published in memory of the deceased.
https://www.rt.com/russia/643681-zelensky-washington-lindsey-funeral/
This means the P2 Freemason controlled “Trump” regime wants to dump Zelensky in order to try to save itself by starting an alliance with Russia.
This is because China has effectively ended KM control of world energy markets. Russia is not going to ally itself with the US to try to strangle China’s energy grid because they do not trust the treaty breaking “Trump” regime. They also know it would be a losing battle.
When China first decided to confront the KM after it was attacked with the SARS bioweapon in 2003, they were forced to back down after the US threatened to cut off the Straits of Hormuz.
Since then, they have reduced their dependence on oil even as they built pipelines and railroads to bypass the Straits of Hormuz. Now they no longer need it.
China generated less than 50% of its electricity from the fossil fuel coal in the six months to June, marking a first for the country. Coal’s share of the power mix was 49.7% while renewable energy’s share grew to 41.2% — the first time it topped 40% — and of that wind and solar accounted for 24.6%. Natural gas and nuclear make up the balance.
https://www.nbcnews.com/world/asia/china-generates-less-half-electricity-coal-first-time-rcna589972
Since 60% of new cars sold in China are electric, Chinese oil imports have begun falling at close to double-digit rates.
This also explains why the “Trump” administration’s gambit to avoid bankruptcy by stealing Venezuelan oil has failed: Seven months after Nicolás Maduro’s removal, negotiations between the interim government and major U.S. energy companies remain bogged down, with no landmark investment deals despite the country’s vast crude reserves.
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/trumps-venezuela-oil-push-hits-roadblock
The oil company executives do not want to invest in Venezuela because there is a huge surplus of oil, and they have been burned there twice.
So now, even though the Straits of Hormuz and now the entrance to the Red Sea have been blocked to KM controlled Israel and the US, the price of oil is only high for Americans and Israelis.
That is why the fake Trump administration decided to try to block the Strait of Gibraltar. To prepare for this, the Israeli whores on Capitol Hill quietly laid the legislative groundwork by casting doubt on Spanish sovereignty over Ceuta and Melilla.
They then got the Satanist King Mohammed VI of Morocco to pay 60,000 military-aged men to invade the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. Here is a photograph of what looks like a high king Mohammed with Chabad rabbi Israel Goldberg.
After Spanish President Pedro Sanchez labeled Israel’s war on Gaza a “genocide,” banned the transit of military goods to Israel via its territory, and denied the US use of its military bases to strike Iran, Zionist commentators viewed the invasion of Ceuta as just punishment for Spain.
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir joined in the mockery, congratulating Sanchez “for his profound commitment to welcoming immigration and ‘human diversity’.”
Ben-Gvir, who has called for the destruction of Lebanon, the execution of Palestinian prisoners, and the use of starvation as a weapon of war, called on Sanchez to go further and aid in the depopulation of Gaza.
On Friday, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez visited Ceuta as he characterized the influx of migrants as “an attack, a violation of the territorial integrity” of the kingdom.
https://www.rt.com/news/643726-israel-zionists-celebrate-migrants-ceuta/
Spain quickly got rid of these invaders by refusing to provide them with water. They have all since left.
https://tass.com/world/2167953
This is just the latest failure of the KM to manipulate events and public opinion in their direction.
Polish intelligence provided us with more detailed information in how the KM manipulate public opinion and world events:
Tal Hanan, codename “Jorge,” a former Israeli special forces agent, and his unit, “Team Jorge,” have interfered in presidential elections around the world 33 times over the past two decades, 27 of which were successful.
These Israelis, in a presentation of their successes, described the services they offered, such as hacking email/message accounts, sabotage, and large-scale social media disinformation through software capable of controlling tens of thousands of fake profiles.
The group advertised to clients such as politicians, private companies, influential Jews in Florida, gay Jews, Mexican podcasters, and intelligence agencies.
One of the tools is a program called AIMS – a proprietary commercial software package used to manage thousands of fake social media profiles and automated disinformation campaigns, created by Team Jorge.
Scale: Controls over 30,000 virtual avatars across platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Telegram, Gmail, Instagram, and YouTube.
Capabilities: Automates online interactions, creates synthetic/non-existent people, and coordinates narrative-shaping activities.
The conclusion is: Israel is an organized crime syndicate masquerading as a state.
The wildfires mentioned at the top of this article are a good example of how the KM tries to manipulate us with manufactured events:
The French government has revealed that an estimated ninety per cent of so-called wildfires are the result of human activity, undermining the persistent media narrative that climate change is driving spontaneous fires ravaging the countryside.
On Tuesday, French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said that 184 people have been arrested in connection with wildfires since the beginning of the summer. Those arrested are a combination of arsonists, criminals, and careless individuals, he said.
The entire agenda is to force people into KM slavery via the UN.
As Polish intelligence explains:
UN Agenda 2030 is a master plan to create a Hunger Games society where the elite have access to the most beautiful places on Earth while the citizens are confined to their mini-apartments in 15-minute cities.
Citizen independence is therefore unacceptable. They must be completely dependent on the state, because only in this way can they be controlled.
Therefore, they are not allowed to own land or their own homes and will be forced to live in large skyscrapers in the infamous 15-minute cities.
This automatically means that people who own a piece of land, have their own water supply and grow their own food pose a serious threat to the state.
To help manipulate us into their prisons, the KM has also destroyed higher education in the West. According to the latest Gallup poll, only 38% of U.S. adults have a “great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in higher education.
https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/students-seek-ai-proof-their-careers-trades-over-college
Now these bastards are trying to monopolize all information by using high-tech book burning to put all information under the control of heavily censored AI:
Fears stem from a copyright lawsuit brought against AI company Anthropic in the United States by book authors. Unsealed court files revealed earlier this year that the company was engaging in the practice of “destructive scanning” – buying physical books, slicing off the spines to more efficiently scan the pages, then pulping the remains – and had sought to keep it quiet. The judge ruled this was lawful under US copyright law, as it amounted to “transformative use”.
The younger generation has figured out so-called higher education is now useless and is choosing to learn a real trade rather than become a purple-haired LGBT activist. That is why, in 2025, trade school revenue surpassed all expected growth in 2025, expanding 11.4 percent and surpassing $19 billion.
However, in the meantime, many of their brainwashed seniors are now in government busily destroying society. In a glaring example, a Liberal Democrat council has secured a High Court injunction that effectively bans the unauthorized display of the St George’s Cross and Union Flag on lampposts and public highways across an entire English county.
Britain has reached the point where flying the St George’s Cross is treated as a form of aggression while other political symbols face no such institutional hostility.
When rows of Pride flags promoting anal sex lined streets in such density that even a prominent television presenter described them as “oppressive,” the institutional response was silence or defence. National colours, by contrast, trigger injunctions, safety briefings, and high court orders.
https://modernity.news/2026/08/01/uk-high-court-moves-to-ban-display-of-english-and-british-flags/
This KM habit of trying to control all public information has deep roots as a Polish intelligence source explains:
All we need to do is go back to 1945. It was then, in Nag Hammadi, Egypt, that a Bedouin farmer unearthed a clay jar containing 52 ancient leather scrolls. These texts, deliberately destroyed and forbidden by the then-religious “system,” had to disappear because they carried absolutely subversive knowledge. They provided humanity with an instruction manual for escaping illusion.
The Nag Hammadi text describes the forces that govern the physical world (the matrix) as Archons (Rulers). They were created as a result of a cosmic anomaly, a separation from the original, perfect Source.
But before you imagine horned demons with pitchforks, let’s look at this through the lens of modern energy mechanics. Gnostic Archons are nothing more than what we would today call powerful, impersonal algorithms, egregores, or—to use a very apt term—destructive pendulums. These are energy structures that govern collective consciousness.
They are parasites. They cannot create anything themselves. They are sterile. They can only copy, imitate, distort, and manage what already exists.
Notice how our social and media world is structured. Everything is based on the constant stimulation of low, dense frequencies:
Fear and uncertainty (crises, diseases, wars).
Anger and division (us vs them, left vs right, rich vs poor).
Feelings of guilt and shame.
Desire and a sense of lack.
This July 25 negative news summary illustrates:
As author Joachim Hagopian writes:
We the People must mobilize at the grassroots level to oppose and ultimately remove today’s Luciferian power structure from executing their extermination plan bent on replacing our species through their weaponized AI robotics data-center proliferation, delivering their scorched earth dystopian nightmare as our imminent future. It’s do-or-die time for humanity.

Finally, this week, we are going to take a close look at an earthquake that happened in Japan last week because it was clearly not a natural event.
First of all, the epicenter of this earthquake happened right near where Japan just deployed long-range anti-ship missiles. Local citizens have been protesting because they are exposed to retaliation while the command center is underground. They say no public briefings have been held.
Then the earthquake hit, and it was accompanied by a massive explosion at a shopping mall. The explosion at Aeon Mall Kumamoto is being reported as being caused by a gas leak from an LPG or cogeneration system. However, experts say the explosion was too powerful for a gas explosion, as a Fukuyama Transport truck parked on the road across from the parking lot was severely damaged.
The second point of concern is the absence of flames or heat that should accompany an explosion. Looking inside, there is no charring, and no evidence of a fire.
Whether it’s a gas explosion, a vapor bomb, or a nuclear bomb, the high temperatures generated by combustion usually result in fire, burn marks, and black smoke.
However, despite the unusually high destructive force of the blast wave in this explosion, there was no high temperature or fire, and no evidence of combustion.
The third point of concern is that, according to construction professionals, gas equipment should have safety devices that detect gas leaks and shut off the gas supply.
The earthquake came as Japanese investors sold $67 billion in US government debt in May, according to the latest available Treasury Department figures. It was followed by repeated propaganda in Japan about how an earthquake hitting the Nankai Trough could cause millions of deaths.
The White Hats responded by hitting a massive volcanic caldera in Italy.
A magnitude 4.7 earthquake struck the Campi Flegrei volcanic region near Naples in southern Italy on Friday evening, injuring at least 26 people, two of them critically, and damaging dozens of buildings.
Campi Flegrei, or the Phlegraean Fields, is a vast volcanic caldera about 9km west of Naples and roughly 50km from Mount Vesuvius. Around 500,000 people live in the area’s 15 municipalities, which make up the high-risk “red zone.”
https://www.rt.com/news/643745-quake-italy-volcanic-region/
The White Hat message to the Italian P2 Freemason and KM controllers of the fake Trump is simple: If you use any weapons of mass destruction, we will retaliate in kind. Enough is enough.

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.
