A47 Brief: Covert Moves or Broken Promises? Decoding Trump’s Epstein Strategy
Fulford’s Report:
If you are a Catholic or a Zionist fanatic, then these times must seem like the end times. Nothing symbolized this better than having Ukrainian Dictator and persecutor of Christians Vladimir Zelensky be the first head of government to meet the Jewish Pope Leo XIV. This act alone proves Francis was the last Roman Catholic Pope.
In case you haven’t been following the truth, the Ukrainian regime is openly Satanic in nature. They have murdered millions of Ukrainian men, tortured tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of children to death and enslaved the female population. Women who are of childbearing age are being forced into baby factories making Ukraine the source of a quarter of all babies sold globally. Many of these babies are destined to be repeatedly tortured in order to harvest adrenachrome.

If you do not think the regime is deliberately sending Ukrainian men to be killed, take a look at how their army is recruiting soldiers.
In the latest, Polish and Italian intelligence report that through a front known as the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU), Zelenskly “unleashed the largest wave of persecution of Christians in 21st century Europe, depriving hundreds of thousands of believers of the freedom to practice their faith. In two years, more than 1,000 churches and monasteries have been raided by OCU supporters, accompanied by violence against clergy, women, and the elderly.”
The OCU it has become “a haven for pedophiles whose crimes are covered up by Ukrainian authorities.” The OCU offers Satanic elites “absolution” for donations of $22,000. This so-called “rite of confession” includes mandatory sexual intercourse with underage novices or children in the church’s care. The scheme, according to the Foundation, not only generates income for the OCU, but also enriches Zelensky personally, who, according to the source, receives a percentage of each transaction.
Did Pope Leo mention any of this when he met Zelensky? No, he didn’t. By failing to defend persecuted Christians, he sent a message to the world the Catholic Church has been taken over by Satanists.
On the surface it looks like a huge victory for the Khazarian Mafia to have taken over the Catholic Church. However, the reality is the KM have been defeated and are desperately looking for a country that will shelter them from being slaughtered for their crimes against humanity.
Australian intelligence sources tell us the government of PM Anthony Albanese has made a confidential agreement with the leaders of the Zionist Chabad-Lubavich movement to allow all Zionist Jews safe passage into Australia. They will be fast tracked through immigration, visas approved upon arrival. No questions asked. He told me this will not go over well with most Australians.
In the past this group has sought shelter in Japan’s Northern Island of Hokkaido, New Zealand’s South Island, Southern Argentina etc.
The reason they are looking for asylum is because a critical mass of humanity, most notably Western humanity, has woken up to their crimes and is demanding justice. That is why Western politicians cannot appear in public without being asked about the children tortured and murdered on Epstein Island.
At the same time, US President Donald Trump has taken away the KM’s control of the military, meaning they can no longer murder their way out of trouble. Trump told a West Point audience: “For at least two decades, political leaders from both parties have dragged our military into missions it was never meant to be [in]…They sent our warriors on nation-building crusades to nations that wanted nothing to do with us, led by leaders who didn’t have a clue in distant lands while abusing our soldiers with absurd ideological experiments.” “All of that is ended,” he declared. The US military is now focused on “crushing America’s adversaries, killing America’s enemies…” Trump concluded.
In a clear sign those enemies are the Satanists, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth led a Pentagon assembly in prayer for wisdom and humility to “our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
The most obvious result of this change is the isolation of Israel, a state that will soon cease to exist.
In the latest President Emmanuel Macron of France, Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada and Prime Minister Keir Starmer of the U.K. said in a joint statement on May 19: “We will not stand by while the Netanyahu Government pursues these egregious actions [in Gaza].” Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares says the international community should impose sanctions and embargoes on Israel to stop the brutal military offensive in the besieged Gaza Strip.
This is important because these governments are still controlled by the Rothschild family who founded Israel.
It is also interesting to note that public opinion has turned decisively against Israel in the West.
This is happening even though companies like Microsoft are going so far as to censor personal emails critical of Israel.
Even Trump has been forced by the US Corporation’s bankruptcy to choose Persian Gulf oil money over support for Israel.
Speaking about US Bankruptcy, Trump is clearly trying to push the US over the edge with a “Big Beautiful Budget,” that the US cannot pay for. In a sign he has lost control, the budget caused interest rates to skyrocket in the bond market even as the Federal Reserve Board has been cutting rates. It means the FEDs are no longer in control of US financial markets.
Another sign things are not quite right comes from reports about his sales mission to the Middle East. Various reports say he raised anywhere from $2 trillion to $5.2 trillion dollars. However, if you add up the individual contracts announced, mainly for weapons, Boeing jets and data centers you get more like $1 trillion.
Still impressive but not enough to roll over the $9.2 trillion in US debt maturing this year.
Trump is also trying to cut a deal with Iran, Turkey and Egypt to replace Israel with a human rights respecting nation of Judea. He is hoping to get his hands on the legendary Persian gold in exchange. However, Iranian sources say their government knows time is on their side and they are in no hurry to hand over any gold.
That is why Trump threatened once again to make the Europeans pay, this time by announcing 50% tariffs on all EU exports to the US.
EU de facto spokeswoman Ursula von Der Leyen asked Trump to wait until July 9th. That is a very specific date, implying some sort of surprise, nasty or otherwise, is planned for before then.
This may be related to a planned trip by the P3 Freemasons and a representative of the White Dragon Society to Taiwan to meet the Asian elders. In preparation for this trip meetings are taking place in Milan, Zurich, Moscow, Tel Aviv and Washington DC. According to P3 sources a decision has been made to open a World Federation Bank Account. This will release unlimited funding for the purpose of setting up a new Future Planning Organization and financing a jubilee or one-off cancellation of all debt, public and private. This will not be a back-room deal. There will be an international and public conference to work out exactly how this will take place, with full input from the people and nations of the world.
As a backup plan, the Five Eyes military are preparing for a hard landing in the West that would follow a public announcement of the US Corporation’s bankruptcy. This would mean a cold turkey sudden drop in Western living standards as the price to be paid for escaping a Chinese debt trap.
The G7 Finance Ministers issued a communique on May 22nd that made it clear it was not business as usual. It referred to “unsustainable global macro imbalances,” ie the US trade deficit and its mirror Chinese trade surplus. It also called for economic growth that “all of our citizens can benefit from,” meaning they are aware the middle class is being looted by the super-rich.
The G7 also referred to “non-market policies and practices (NMPPs)” and pledged to “deepen our collective understanding of NMPPs and their domestic and global implications.” So there you have it, an official G7 text alluding to a future planning agency.
It is also interesting to note the communique did not mention carbon trading and “climate change.” This again is clear sign a fundamental change of direction has taken place.
More evidence the decarbonization nonsense is over came as New Zealand reversed its net zero ambitions by lifting a ban on oil and gas drilling. We are hearing Mr. Carbon tax himself, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, is making similar decisions for Canada.
Further confirmation of high level negotiations came from US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent who said “We had a plan, we have process and now we have a mechanism with our Chinese counterparts to prevent an escalation again…We’re going to go into a series of negotiations, they’re going to be fulsome, and we have a lot to talk about.”
The case of Apple makes it clear these negotiations will not be easy. Trump just posted:
I have long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple that I expect their iPhones that will be sold in the United States of America will be manufactured and built in the United States, not India, or anyplace else. If that is not the case, a Tariff of at least 25% must be paid by Apple to the U.S. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
May 23, 2025, 2:19 PM
Experts say Americans would have to wait until 2029 to get the first US made iPhone delivered and that it would cost over $3000.
The US is unlikely to last that long in its current form. Last week we saw even more evidence of how terminally corrupt the US Corporation has become. This came when Senator John Kennedy questioned the new secretary of the Department of Energy (DOE). In the 76 day period between Trump winning and Biden leaving office $93 billion was sent from the DOE, who GAVE IT AWAY WITH NO OVERSIGHT, TO ENTITIES WITH NO FINANCIALS.
“The 76-day period you’re talking about, that’s the period between the time that President Trump was elected and President Biden left office — How much taxpayer money went out the door of the Department of Energy?
From the Loan Program Office in Loans and Commitments $93 billion. Well over twice as much as in the previous 15 years”
— You’re you’re telling me that the Department of Energy in the 76-day period before their boss was gonna leave office gave our own money to entities that had no business plan?
“Correct.”
“No financials?”
“Correct.”
If the DOE is under white hat control now, one thing they may talk about is unleashing the hydrogen energy genie from its bottle. This would put an end to the current move to electrical cars being led by China.
In an indication the era of electric cars is ending, the German Electric Mobility Association (BEM), representing a total of 450 companies from various parts of the world, has filed for bankruptcy.
[the_ad_group id=”25840″]
However, before negotiations with China on things like hydrogen can conclude, the West still needs to end its undeclared civil war. This looks like it is about to happen. For example -showing what people are really thinking- a Ukrainian TV anchor just made a Freudian slip — calling Vladimir Putin “President of Ukraine” in a live broadcast.
Putin might also be the secret president of Poland as uninteresting scandal coming to surface there reveals. It turns out that in 1989 the Polish government set up something called FOZZ (Foreign Debt Service Fund) to secretly buy Polish debt at 10 cents to the dollar. Polish intelligence informs us “The looted balance sheet showed that in the years 1989-1990 alone, FOZZ received 1.7 billion dollars for its statutory tasks, of which only 69 million dollars were spent on debt redemption, the rest – 1.5 billion dollars was simply stolen. Where did the missing money go? It is difficult to answer this question precisely to this day.”
A lot of whistleblowers died suddenly as a result of this case and the only thing Polish authorities are sure about is that a large percentage of this money was spent building pipelines to Russia that made Poland totally dependent on Russian energy supplies.
A similar story seems to have taken place in Ukraine at a much larger scale with hundreds of billions of dollars vanishing to who knows where.
Now that the looting there is winding down, there are signs Ukraine will soon be divvied up. Hungary has moved tanks and heavy armor up to the Ukrainian Border. Tanks have been taken off their Transportation units and are driving through several towns along the Ukraine border on main road routes.
This is a sign Hungary is preparing to grab the mostly ethnic Hungarian district of Transcarpathia in Ukraine. It is likely Poland and other countries will make similar moves.
Victor Orban, the de facto leader of the revived Austro-Hungarian empire is clearly making this military move after warning EU honcho Ursula von Der Leyen is trying to create a one million man force. Since the EU has been mass murdering its citizens with vaccines and is suppressing free speech, military action against their leadership is needed.
Orban’s comments about the EU are in the video linked below:
Given this situation, we asked the Russian FSB why they did not remove Jean Michel de Rothschild aka Brigitte Macron, the de facto leader of the EU. We pointed out that since the US would not fight Russia to defend the fascist EU, Russia could basically appoint any leaders they want. Their answer was a bit disturbing:
“Macron is a predictable useful idiot. The other leaders like Zelensky and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz are just drugged puppets. If the EU gets a new leader he might be difficult to control. This would make it harder for China and Russia to get gold, rare metals and other African resources formerly controlled by France.”
There might also be a hidden Chinese or Russian hand behind moves to force European settlers out of South Africa.
Here is the South African president openly stating that White-owned farms will be forcefully taken, without any compensation, by the state and given to Blacks. Like “Kill The Boer”, he doesn’t mean that though, and you’re just a racist for believing what he says.
South African opposition figure Julius Malema last week led ANOTHER chant to kill the white farmer, and President Ramaphosa remained quiet.
Accept the white farmers as refugees and cut off any and all ties to this country unless and until action is taken.
Most African commonwealth countries are still friendly with the Anglo sphere but now that the French have been mostly kicked out of Africa you can be sure English speaking Africa will be the next target.
In any case, France under Macron is so badly run that 80% of French women want the army deployed into bad neighborhoods in French cities…As Remix News has reported, France has seen an incredible 86 percent increase in sexual violence in the last 10 years, with mass immigration fueling this trend.
This hopelessly corrupt and incompetent French government is also covering up “at the highest level,” a water scandal involving Nestle and the iconic mineral water brand Perrier. Remember, the head of Nestle is now head of the fascist World Economic Forum.
This report shows some of the damage these corporate criminals have done to us:
- Food Industry spent $60 billion for drug, biotechnology, and device research in nutrition science compared to $1.5 billion in government funded research.
- Over 40% of US children have a chronic health condition – including asthma, allergies, obesity, autoimmune diseases, or behavioral disorders – a dramatic rise over past decades.
- Over 75% of young Americans are ineligible for military service.
- Teen suicide and depression have surged, with suicide among 10-24-year-old girls up 67% since 2007.
- 95% of the 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee members had financial ties to food and pharmaceutical companies
- The chemical manufacturing industry spent roughly $77 million on federal lobbying activities in 2024, while 60% of their lobbyists previously held federal posts.
- More than ten thousand chemicals listed on the EPA’s inventory are designated as confidential, and generic chemical names are used to identify them.
- The pharmaceutical industry, from 1999 to 2018, spent $4.7 billion on lobbying expenditures at the federal level, more than any other industry.
- Nine out of the last 10 FDA commissioners—and approximately 70% of the agency’s medical reviewers—have gone on to work for the pharmaceutical industry.
- Over 80% of clinical departments and teaching hospitals at U.S. medical schools receive some degree of pharmaceutical funding, while half of the total costs for continuing medical education (CME) is funded by industry.
- Between 2010 and 2022, the industry provided $6 billion to over 20,000 patient advocacy organizations

This should be a call to action for the Anglo Saxon Five Eyes because the current UK leadership under Keir Starmer is following orders from these criminal idiots. This Satire video of Starmer talking about taking drugs etc. is actually not really satire.
According to Michael Shrimpton and MI6 sources, Starmer is being blackmailed with pedophile snuff videos into handing over control of the British naval base of Diego Garcia to the Chinese and of UK fishing rights to the French.
https://vtforeignpolicy.com/2025/05/the-surrender-of-diego-garcia-2/
This is happening as a fake King Charles plans to visit Canada this week with an illegitimate Queen Camilla to try to assert control. We are being told by MI6 the fake king visiting Canada will be run by the white hats. MI6 says the speech will be vetted by Ottawa and ultimately London [the cabinet office and cabinet secretary].
However, in a sign the political movie script is still calling for his exit, the supposedly cancer stricken Charles has just written a condolence letter to cancer stricken Joe Biden.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cyvmq997y9go
A Pentagon source describes it as “a letter from the dead King Charles to a dead man and a fake. Nice way to officially get rid of him.”
King or no King, the US might make a military move against Canada. FBI Director Cash Patel says “Our adversaries have partnered up with the CCP and others, Russia, Iran, on a variety of different criminal enterprises to attack the US from Canada.”
https://www.junonews.com/p/sam-cooper-on-the-explosive-fbi-warning
In other words, the Trump team is building up excuses for a military move against Canada.
Some in Canada are trying to ally with China as a way to avoid being taken over by Trump. However, this needs to be thought about very carefully.
On July 15th China is going to introduce an ID system for the internet that is billed as protecting consumers from fraud but will also raise fears of totalitarian control by making anonymous internet surfing more difficult.
https://www.nikkei.com/article/DGXZQOGM23BXC0T20C25A5000000/
There is also some sort of US/China proxy fight involving Harvard University. After cutting off its funding, Trump is now going to ban foreign students from studying there.
Beijing on Friday slammed the “politicization” of educational exchanges after the United States revoked the right of Harvard University to enroll foreign students, many of whom come from China.
“The Chinese side has consistently opposed the politicization of educational cooperation,” foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said at a regular press briefing.
“The relevant action by the US side will only harm the image and international standing of the United States.”
https://insiderpaper.com/china-slams-politicisation-of-education-after-us-foreigner-ban-on-harvard/
At same time Harvard has set up a “Harvard Science Council in Japan” whose aim appears to be to censor unfavorable academic research. It is not clear if it is the US or China who is behind this.
https://www.tokyo-np.co.jp/article/407082
The US is also trying to work with Russia to contain Chinese power. On this front the Trump regime is following the Russians in a move to recognize he Taliban government of Afghanistan as legitimate. Russian FSB sources say a secret US/Russian deal has been reached to develop rare earth minerals in Afghanistan so both countries militaries do not have to rely on China.

Finally this week, I wish to address a readers’ question as to why I say three US aircraft carriers were destroyed off the coast of Yemen. What I know is I was sent photographs that showed what looked like irreparable damage on the USS Harry Truman and the USS Eisenhower. We also note all reports of US air attacks on Yemen suddenly stopped. The reason is the US supposedly reached a peace deal with the Houthis in Yemen. However, the Houthis are still attacking Israel and the US is doing nothing about it.
We have not been sent any photos of the destruction of the USS Carl Vinson. In an attempt to find more evidence I looked at this website:
USS Carl Vinson CVN-70 Families & Friends
and found the following first two comments:
“Hey guys! Out of curiosity, how often do you hear from your sailor?”
“Oh wow, thanks guys! Haven’t heard from my hubby in two weeks.”
“This is my sailors first deployment and I don’t hear from him often. It’s been at least 3 weeks now.”
These comments were followed by countless bot like comments repeating “I hear from my husband every day.”
You cannot hide a broken aircraft carrier for ever so time will tell.
We hope the USS Carl Vinson is safe and sound but the fact remains the US carrier fleet is obsolete and needs to be mothballed.
To Make America Great Again, including its military, you need to do some serious waste removal. This is the sort of thing that is only politically possible if a bankruptcy declaration is made. This would not mean the end of America but rather the end of the US Corporation and the rebirth of the Republic of the United States.
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.
