Fulford’s Report:
Today Donald Trump formally takes power and this will trigger the final battle for the planet Earth. To win Donald Trump must nationalize the Federal Reserve Board and end its’ system of Babylonian debt slavery. The future of our species is at stake. If we lose this battle, we will spend all eternity in the human equivalent of chicken factory farms. If we win, we will be able to choose our own futures according to our dreams and desires.
Here is the official portrait of the man we hope will set us free: Donald Trump, the 47th President of the United States.
A Pentagon source comments: “This looks like the real CIC Trump. He has the bluish color under his eyes. Plus his right eye is partially closed…This one of the traits of the real deal.”
The real CIC will have a lot on his plate. CIA officials report massive terror attacks are planned for the US including suicide bombers and attacks on airliners. The illegal immigrant army is also supposed to take up arms in the fight for control of the United States and thus the world.

Since so much is at stake, it is a good time to step back and look at the big picture. Most humans, especially those in the “civilized world” have been slaves for so long, we do not even realize it.
In my case, when I was 17 years old, the zeitgeist in the street was that if I went to university I would be “brainwashed and turned into a consumer.” Since a fish does not know water exists until it jumps for the first time, I decided the best way to learn about civilization was to leave it. So, I hitchhiked my way down to the Amazon. there was a middle-class style American settlement. The people there were looking to convert uncontacted tribes into Christianity. They would fly over their villages in small planes and have arrows and spears shot at them. They dropped bags containing cooking pots, mirrors, and other accessories of civilization along with microphones. Then they would listen in on their conversations to try to learn their language. Finally, when they thought the natives were ready, they would appear in person to begin preaching. This was a process designed to turn them into slaves so that the corporations could later move in, cut down the forests, drill for oil and put the original inhabitants into shanty towns.
This is something that happened to our ancestors thousands of years ago. When I visited the P2 Freemason controllers of Western civilization, they admitted to me their version of Christianity was a religion designed to control slaves.
Getting back to the Amazon, after I arrived by boat at a Shipibo Indian settlement, I took out some Peruvian money to try to “buy” things from them. They reacted with disgust at this unhygienic paper -with no intrinsic value- and would have nothing to do with it. They were only interested in physical items in my possession. By contrast, Western peoples have been so brainwashed by this “money majick” that we will strip naked, work 80-hour weeks and otherwise degrade ourselves for this “paper.” Now, most money doesn’t even have paper to back it, it is just numbers inside computers.
The process of turning free people into slaves is not just restricted to money. It also involves the wholesale destruction of traditional knowledge and culture. The Shipibo shaman I studied under was heir to thousands of years of traditional knowledge about healing. He was better at healing local ailments than Western doctors and so was more popular than them. So, what did the Western doctors do? They killed him.
The owners of the Federal Reserve Board and the other central banks have been killing people like him for millennia in order to turn this planet into a giant centralized mono-culture controlled by them. Remember, “government” means “control (govern) minds (ment).”
Whether people realize it or not, the election of Donald Trump is a major reaction against this ancient system of control,
So now getting back to Donald Trump. He is promising a running start with over 200 executive orders. These include:
Expelling the millions of foreign criminals illegally in the US
Ending subsidies for electric vehicles
Leaving the WHO
Imposing a 25% tariff on goods from Mexico and Canada
Granting amnesty to all the J6 political prisoners
Leaving the Paris Accords and ending restrictions on carbon
Ending the Ukraine war
Ending the occupation of Gaza
Radically overhauling the CDC, NIH and FDA
Eliminating the Department of Education
Stopping all LBGTQ propaganda
Etc.
However, the big Kahuna he is expected to announce is an economic emergency. In a sign he knows what he has to do, Trump X’d the following:
For far too long, we have relied on taxing our Great People using the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Through soft and pathetically weak Trade agreements, the American Economy has delivered growth and prosperity to the World, while taxing ourselves. It is time for that to change.
I am today announcing that I will create the EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE to collect our Tariffs, Duties, and all Revenue that come from Foreign sources. We will begin charging those that make money off of us with Trade, and they will start paying, FINALLY, their fair share. January 20, 2025, will be the birth date of the External Revenue Service. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
While he hints at abolishing the IRS and replacing it with tariffs, he does not mention nationalizing the Fed and issuing government money as is written in the Constitution.
That is because he needs to reach a deal with China first. The US has about a $ 1 trillion per year trade deficit with the world while the Chinese have about the same size trade surplus. Even if Trump puts a 100% tariff on Chinese goods, China would just move its factories to places like Vietnam and Mexico and the US would keep having a deficit. If Trump places 100% tariffs on the rest of the world, the US would instantly implode into a minor, isolated country.
That is why Trump has to reach a deal with China. Both Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping said they had a phone call last week about exactly this.
Xi said, “China-U.S. ties will have a good start in the new U.S. presidential term, and stand ready to push China-U.S. relations to make greater progress from a new starting point.”
https://english.news.cn/20250118/2043a130e182480ab2b0c0672e3dd001/c.html
Trump wrote, “The call was a very good one for both China and the USA…“It is my expectation that we will solve many problems together, and start immediately. We discussed balancing Trade, Fentanyl, TikTok, and many other subjects.” “President Xi and I will do everything possible to make the World more peaceful and safe!” Trump continued.
https://www.rt.com/news/611105-trump-xi-phone-call/
Asian Secret Society and Pentagon sources say a fundamental deal has been agreed to in which the Chinese will agree to forgive all US debts in exchange for the American people being given a more accurate understanding of China. There was also an agreement to build more factories in the US, in order to end the US trade deficit.
Both sides are appointing experts to work out the details over the coming months, the sources say.
There can be no doubt both the US and China need a fundamental reset.
China is facing a property crisis that with mathematical certainty will destroy its current financial system. It is identical in structure to the crisis in Japan from the early 1990s that saw commercial real estate prices fall 90%.
All main Chinese Property Construction Companies were in the news this week:
Evergrande
Country Garden
Shimao
Sunac
Vanke
Just like in Japan, they were able to cover the cracks for 5 years before the whole system blew up.
China is now experiencing a complete financial crash. China’s 10-year govt bonds yield 1.65%, their ‘policy overnight rate’ sits at 1.5%, their real estate collapse continues (Vanke 2025 bonds collapsing this week), and the overnight rate just spiked to 16%. Complete disaster for Xi.
Markets don’t lie. When your bond yields drop below policy rates while property bonds collapse, it signals deep structural problems. Xi’s economic challenges in 2025 are just beginning to surface.

Property accounts for about 70% of all Chinese assets so the collapse is threatening communist party rule. In a sign China is close to civil war, over 80 Chinese billionaires have already been arrested recently. In the latest Zhu Jiusheng, CEO of Vanke, one of China’s biggest property firms, was “taken away” by police.
China has tried to cover up its real estate woes by building huge manufacturing capabilities. China now produces 31% of all the world’s manufactured goods, more than the next 9 countries combined including the US, Japan, Germany, the UK, etc.
The problem is the rest of the world has now been saturated with Chinese goods and many, many countries are erecting trade barriers against China. Overcapacity also means prices of Chinese goods are plunging and many factories are losing money.
The US, of course, is in even worse shape. As the St. Louis Fed and many prominent economists point out, the US has about $250 trillion in debts and unfunded liabilities like pensions and social security.
As the character in the Ernest Hemingway novel, when asked how he went bankrupt put it “gradually, and then suddenly.”
In a sign something big is cooking financially, Treasury and other law enforcement officials told lawmakers Wednesday that Chinese hackers gained access to more than 3,000 unclassified agency files.
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/01/15/chinese-hackers-treasury-files-yellen-00198506
According to Asian Secret Society sources, the hack was carried out by the NSA who randomly inserted Chinese text to make it look like a “Chinese hack.” NSA sources say they are planning to seize control of the dollar printing machinery for Donald Trump.
That is needed because, in her last official act, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned the US will hit its debt ceiling one day after Trump’s inauguration.
The “world’s richest man” (ie biggest money launderer of fake US dollars) Elon Musk warns the US is at risk of bankruptcy unless “major and immediate” action is taken to address government spending amid mounting federal debt.
https://www.rt.com/news/611121-musk-warns-us-bankruptcy/
The same P2 Freemasons who use Musk as their avatar are saying President-elect Donald Trump launched Trump the so-called meme coin — a digital token with no intrinsic real-world value- on Friday, sparking a feverish buying that apparently sent its market capitalization soaring to several billion dollars. There also issuing a dogecoin [Pronounced Dodgy].
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/01/18/trump-crypto-meme-coin-inauguration-00199157
Trump is also supposedly going to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-designate-cryptocurrency-national-priority-132237713.html
This is nothing more than the P2 Freemasons trying to keep their “money majick” scheme going. Remember all crypto-currencies have an agency back door and they can grab your money whenever they want to.
That is why Trump is expected to announce an economic emergency almost immediately after taking power. He will, in concert with Xi, preside over some sort of jubilee-type reset of the global financial system.
Trump is also expected to address the billionaires and trillionaires gathering at the Davos World Economic Forum in Switzerland this week to discuss “geopolitical shocks” among other things.
The real thing these people will want to hear from Donald Trump is what the Western military white hats have in store for them. The head of MI6 points out that the WEF is basically a gathering place for the 700 people who control the boards of 90% of the world’s transnational corporations. “From a military point of view it would not be difficult to deal with them,” he says.
What is clear from the disasters in China and the US is that their economic governance must end.
The Los Angeles arson is a case in point. The WEF points to these fires as a reason to pump out money to fight “climate change.” The truth is they set these fires.
Former Wall Street broker Ross Mandell is among many who say the Los Angeles Pacific Palisades fires were planned.
“I’m gonna shock you. People from BlackRock are going door to door offering to buy homes. — This is highly organized”
“You think this happened by accident? The dams have been emptied by Governor Newsom for no good reason. The hydrants are empty for no good reason.”
“Three months ago, State Farm, the big insurer in LA, just happened to cancel everybody’s fire policies because the governor decided not to allow State Farm to increase their prices. So people now have no insurance. Do you think this happened by accident?”
“BlackRock is going door to door, making offers now for cash generous. They want to take everybody’s homes. This is the business they’re in. It’s not a secret. This has been highly organized”
And yes, BlackRock’s Larry Fink sits on the board of the WEF.
They already know well in advance what is coming soon. They were talking about these fires back in 2018.
Late 2024 SITS Statement about Fulford Reports
These reports are shared as a service for the thousands of people that come to read them. However, I can’t in good conscience not say what I think about them, and I haven’t talked about why I do that in an update for sometime, so here it is.
Julian and I began posting Fulford years ago as one of many sources to consider. As always, just because we post information doesn’t mean we believe it’s true. For years, I posted new sources that I knew were distorted but were nonetheless valuable to be informed about. As ever, disinformation is key information to a well-trained mind.
Julian passed in 2015, and the site changed direction in 2021 when all our income sources were canceled as part of the censorship campaign that took out many content creators. When that happened, I had to make a decision: should I let the site go offline because we can’t pay server costs or do I post Fulford and allow the site to live on, albeit on life support? I decided to do the latter.
It is my opinion that Fulford’s reports have fallen in quality and that while he enjoys celebrity, his efforts aren’t helping to make people more discerning or empower them to be a positive influence in the world. Does that mean his work is useless, worthy of contempt, or that he’s a negative actor? I’m not saying that. I believe that excellence is a ladder, and there are many rungs on that ladder for whomever is ready wherever they are to begin their ascent. No doubt Fulford has his own colorful opinions of me and SITS, which he has the right to have, and I honor that.
Anyone who’s spent time on social media, especially Telegram, can see the legions of bots and other attention-grabbing schemes that cause distractions, disillusionment, and otherwise hamper what I believe to be more productive expenditures of time within the awakening community.
Despite this, and within the spirit of the mission of SITS, I will continue to post his reports until I change my stance. In full disclosure, you know now the reason I do this and the thoughts I have about his reports and their quality and effect.
As ever, you are encouraged to read his material and think what you like. And if you have any opinions for me you’re welcome to share them with me in the comments.
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.
