So what they’re doing is — and I’m going to use this term “archetyping” because it’s very important to me and very important to what they are doing — this is a very old phenomenon. Some of our earliest writing in ancient Iran comes from an inscription by Darius, who founded the Achaemenid Empire around 550 to 330 BCE.
In one of his inscriptions — which I came across because I was trying to look into where the idea and the sound right, writ, rect came from, and if there were any insights we could get into what’s happening today from this sound — it appears in sovereignty. It’s hard to see it in sovereignty, but it’s there: the reign, the regula, the reine (the queen in French), the regent, régir. And it’s in security — this rite, integrity, and fertility, prosperity — these three aspects of Indo-European society.
I was trying to trace these sounds back through different Indo-European linguistic traditions. And Darius writes about how Arta, which is truth in the ancient Iranian and Avestan language — how truth is upended when usurpers claim to be king, claim to be the monarch, when they’re not the rightful monarch.
And this word ṛta — in the Indian tradition, the Vedic tradition, it’s ṛta — so the reversal, which is a phenomenon in linguistics where sometimes in different traditions the same meaning is attached, the signifier and the words change, but the sound is the same. Ṛta, Arta — truth, that which is not illusory, that which is. The truth — and the “tr” in “truth” is also from this. It survived in English, which is another phenomenon.
And so what Donald and Tulsi and all usurpers have always tried to do — and obviously before January 6th, many of us who saw what MAGA was up to and who didn’t like the aesthetics, or the family separation policy, or talking about migrants as rapists, Mexicans as rapists, from the very first moment at Trump Tower — what they do, and this is why it’s relevant to Russia as well, is they try to create a certain truth which we know is untrue.
And in a Disinfolklore galaxy, you don’t know what’s up and down. You don’t know whether the crowd was bigger for Obama or for Trump. And those 26,000 lies. And this idea of “right” belonging to the people who archetype themselves as the political right — sometimes that is true. But when they start promoting untruths, when they promoted a usurper, then the actual measure of what is right — which is the truth, that which is not illusory — and for those of us who are very clear-eyed and clear-minded about this, and James asked what can we do about this: this is what we have to do. We have to keep our eyes laser-focused on what is the truth.
And when we find ourselves wandering into that territory that Russian Disinfolklore promotes — that “I don’t know, I’m just a small person, I have no power, I don’t know what is truth” — we have to be that character at the end of 1984 who knows what is illusory and what is not, up until the final moment.
And it’s so obvious now since January 6th and since the insurrection — and I’m comfortable using that word because that’s what the January 6th Committee used, that’s what was used in the indictments. And this rect — insurrect — it’s the same sound, the same meaning. It’s about right, it’s about truth. Insurrect: those who are trying to usurp what is right.
Now we have this playing out in such obvious terms that when I speak these words to you and describe them, you can see it — you can match the reality we are seeing. We are seeing Donald, the usurper, who engaged in insurrection from the first moment he denied the results in November 2020 and thereafter.
And now those very people — including, I’ve seen those references as well, and I’m happy to believe them, Wendy — certainly the Proud Boys and such like are part of ICE. These so-called federal agents, because this was predicted. As many of us here do, I listened very carefully to Michael Cohen in the run-up and for the two years after the 2020 elections. And this was all very much predicted. It was foreseen.
And James asked, what can we do? We can just keep on keeping the receipts, keep on writing about it, keep on talking about it. So we see the usurpers taking over what is right.
And Donald’s main game — as indeed is Putin’s and the CCP’s, and Tulsi Gabbard as the apparatchik — is to re-archetype what is true and what is real, what is right, writ right. And they are usurping what is right, and they’re deliberately trying to affect people’s minds, which we’ve seen happen to people who have fallen into the MAGA cult — many people we know, clever, intelligent, nice, welcoming, beautiful people who went MAGA for whatever reason.
And when I made my speech in February 2025, it was a week before President Zelensky’s White House visit. And there was an amazingly positive response to President Zelensky’s White House visit, because obviously what the president and vice president were trying to do was again trying to archetype President Zelensky as not right, not sovereign, not just, not real — a usurper.
And this is obviously what the usurper Putin, who has never engaged in any free and fair elections, tries to do himself — to both Zelensky and to Russia. Might is right. They’re trying to do it.
So this for me is the primary struggle. Now, the European leaders refused, even at the cost of the transatlantic relationship. In the immediate aftermath, there was a unified response to what the American leadership was trying to do to President Zelensky and to truth itself — and to right, to international law, which again: droit (right), or roi (the king), and in law, droit in French. It’s all the same sound and the same meaning, and it carries through in the French, in the Romance linguistic tradition from the Latin. It’s in the English from the Germanic tradition. It’s in Hindi from the Sanskrit and Vedic tradition. It’s in Iranian. It’s in every Indo-European tradition.
When President Zelensky was inaugurated as the rightful sovereign of Ukraine, whose job is to protect the security and prosperity of Ukraine, he held in his right hand the rod — which has symbolized for thousands of years leadership in Indo-European communities. Just as the King of England in his coronation photograph holds a rod in his right hand — that symbolizes the right, the identity of the sovereign, the monarch, the leader with right, with writ.
And if we believe in the infallibility of kings, which of course none of us do, then whatever they do is right. And that was the meaning of the Supreme Court judgment, sadly, which has made these unlawful orders that President Trump makes today — which, if he didn’t have this immunity for acts within the perimeter of his job as commander in chief (i.e. unlawfully ordering the Marines on specious legal grounds to California), then he would face life imprisonment if he didn’t have that protection. And he was given this right.
So for me, this is a very ancient struggle. And it’s so obvious to those of us who understand and who studied January 6th and what happened, and who had an intuitive reaction to it in the moment. We understood it was not right. And then, watching the January 6th Committee as I did, and as many of us probably did, and then reading the indictments — the Georgia indictments and the federal indictments — you get a real picture of how unright it was.
And this is essentially what they’re trying to do — the usurpers are archetyping themselves as right.
And we’ve had some positive things, which is that the European leaders have cut America loose. The European Commission President von der Leyen, a week ago in a speech in Aachen, declared that Europe would now seek independence and would create Pax Europaea. And from what I see — obviously all I see is what you see publicly — but it seems to me they’re cutting America loose. But President Trump is a genius at stringing people along, and I hope things are going on in the background which will continue to ramp up.
So that’s my answer to the Proud Boys being part of ICE, and these units creating Disinfolklore — mobile Disinfolklore creation units — wrenching children away from parents and then filming it, broadcasting it, trying to own the libs, and trying to create this tumult, which then creates further Disinfolklore and gives them the opportunity to claim a monopoly on what is right and writ and law, and to bring in the army and all of that.
And the second element to your question — that was interesting. I didn’t pick that up on the Japan thing. So that’s the declaration of war against what we consider the civilized world. Everyone now has to develop nuclear arms.
I note how 40% of Americans currently believe the US is currently on the “Right” track.
