NEW BOOK Now Available : "Mark Antony & Cleopatra"

Now available at all major retailers!

The eBook will be available shortly.

"THE PLOT TO SEIZE RUSSIA - THE UNTOLD HISTORY"

The second edition of “The Plot to Seize Russia – The Untold History” is now available for purchase in paperback and hardcover on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. The ebook will be available shortly.

Book description:

“Take care of Russia,” Boris Yeltsin said as he departed his presidency in August 1999. These words were directed at current Russian president, Vladimir Putin. Yeltsin specifically picked Putin as his predecessor to prevent the takeover of Russia.

So, who was Yeltsin warning against? Newly declassified documents from the Clinton Administration prove that there was a plot to rig the Russian election of 2000. These never-before-seen documents confirm numerous attempts to implement pro-Western policies using the Russian oligarchy headed by Boris Berezovsky.

On the other side were the communists who desired a return to the glory days of the Soviet Union. As one of the largest international hedge fund managers, author Martin Armstrong found himself in the middle of perhaps the greatest espionage, or attempt at a regime change for Russia, in modern history.

The Plot to Seize Russia pulls back the curtain to expose the most extraordinary attempt to seize power in modern history, but with the pen rather than armies. These declassified documents reveal a plot that has altered our thinking about the relations between the United States and Russia. The thirst for power comes seething through every line of these papers that alter our perception of reality, change the course of history, and now threaten us with World War III.

The BBC Scandal Demonstrates Maybe Bigger than Watergate

The BBC has shown the world what is really taking place in Mainstream Media and even Wikipedia, which nobody should donate 10 cents to, yet another FAKE NEWS organization edited by the government. We saw it with COVID-19, where the government told social media to cancel people. Others are being debanked because the government does not like what they say.

What the BBC has done with their doctoring a speech by Trump that aired a week before the 2024 presidential election, made him appear to encourage the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. This was deliberate FAKE NEWS in an attempt to influence the election. I believe this a CRIME!!

There is a statute (18 U.S.C. § 371) that makes it a crime to conspire to impair or obstruct a lawful function of the government through deceit. That would include an election. The press hides behind the First Amendment but they have turned on its head. It is NOT free speech to yell fire in a crowded theater to start a stamped when there is no fire.

The First Amendment protects even false, misleading, or partisan speech. However, the Supreme Court has set an incredibly high bar for punishing speech, especially speech about public figures and political matters. For a journalist to be held legally liable for false statements, the plaintiff (or prosecutor) would generally need to prove “actual malice”—that the journalist knew the information was false or acted with reckless disregard for the truth. The facts of this case warrant an FBI investigate of the journalist and the BBC deliberately editing this video shows “actual malice” this was intentional and not a mistake. All their emails should be preserved and if there was any partisan connection and deliberate “malace” the BBC should be criminally charged. This is the only way to start cleaning up the press.

While there’s no “fake news statute,” there are existing laws that could potentially apply in specific, egregious circumstances which has been shown here by the BBC. This is the area where prosecutors have recently tested the legal limits. The theory is that publishing a story of value to a campaign, when coordinated with that campaign, can be considered an illegal, unreported campaign contribution.

The Michael Sussmann Case (2021) comes to mind. A lawyer was acquitted, but the special counsel argued he lied to the FBI while acting on behalf of the Hillary Clinton campaign. In his defense, he successfully argued that the meeting with the FBI was brief and focused on the substance of the data, not on who Sussmann’s clients were, and that the FBI agent’s memory of the specific statement was not sufficiently reliable. Thus, the jury found him not guilty. The legal theory was that his lie was a “thing of value” to the campaign, making it a potential campaign finance violation.

My advice is that this precedent can apply to a journalist. If a journalist coordinated directly with a political campaign to deliberately publish a known false story as the BBC has done here, the value of that “hit piece” (the advertising space and the credibility of the news outlet) could be construed as an illegal, unreported in-kind contribution. This is a complex and legally uncertain area, but it’s the one most actively explored by prosecutors. Someone in Congress needs to launch this against the BBC NOW!!!!!

Since (18 U.S.C. § 371) makes it a crime to conspire to impair or obstruct a lawful function of the government through deceit, if a journalist conspired with others (like a foreign government or a campaign) to deliberately publish disinformation with the specific intent to disrupt the election process—a lawful government function—this law could potentially be invoked. This would be an extremely aggressive and rare use of the statute but I believe it properly falls within its four corners.

Then there is the catch-all statue. Laws against wire fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1343) prohibit using interstate communications to execute a “scheme to defraud.” This squarely falls within a broadcast. A court would have to find that the public has a “property right” in a fair and honest election, and that the fake news scheme sought to deprive them of that right. Our property right in terms of an election is the cornerstone of everything about our civilization. If there is no “free election” then there us no Republic or Democratic Process and I have been deprived of my most fundamental right of citizenship. I would argue that the BBC also conspired against my civil rights under 18 U.S.C. § 241.

If any contact with the Democrats or someone in the Biden Administration too place, then the most direct and specific federal statute that prohibits interfering with a federal election is 18 U.S.C. § 595. “Interference by administrative employees of Federal, State, or Territorial Governments.”

Here is is a crime for any person employed in any administrative position by the United States, a State, or a Territory to use their official authority to interfere with, affect, or attempt to interfere with or affect the nomination or election of any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives.

Why the BBC needs to be subpoenaed instantly is that a government employee in an administrative position (this distinguishes them from elected officials or political appointees whose jobs are inherently political), so anyone in the Biden Administration, then this blows up into bigger than Watergate.

Defamation

Of course, there is the publishing a knowingly false statement that damages a candidate’s reputation is defamation. In the case of a public figure like a candidate, the plaintiff must prove “actual malice.” Defamation is almost always a civil offense, meaning the harmed candidate can sue the journalist or outlet for monetary damages, but the journalist is not going to jail. There are very few “criminal defamation” laws still on the books in some states, but they are rarely used and may be unconstitutional.

It is Urgent to Subpoena the BBC NOW!!!!!!

This Can Be the Silver Bullet That End Fakes News

Globalists Cheer Mamdani’s Win

So proud to be a New Yorker! The American dream continues!

Congrats, Mayor @ZohranKMamdani ???? pic.twitter.com/nvR5Zb46TI

— Alex Soros (@AlexanderSoros) November 5, 2025

Alex Soros, heir to the Open Society Foundations, publicly congratulated Zohran Mamdani on securing the far left’s position in New York. “So proud to be a New Yorker! The American dream continues! Congrats, Mayor Zohran Mamdani,” Soros wrote. Zohran Mamdani is NOT an anti-establishment candidate—he is an anti-Trump and anti-American puppet installed by the billionaire globalists.

Neo-Marxists only want to eat the rich who do not support their causes. But first, they need to starve and confuse the masses so that they target the “rich” rather than the government. Soros paid good money to help Mamdani’s campaign, donating between $24 to $37 million on groups like DSA and Working Families Party that supported the Democratic candidate.

President Donald Trump previously suggested that Alex and George Soros be charged with RICO due to their open support for violent protests across the nation, with the most recent one surrounding Palestine.

“George Soros, and his Wonderful Radical Left son, should be charged with RICO because of their support of Violent Protests, and much more, all throughout the United States of America,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “We’re not going to allow these lunatics to rip apart America any more, never giving it so much as a chance to ‘BREATHE,’ and be FREE.”

What happens when neo-Marxism combines with Islam? New York will be the test subject. Mamdani famously supported the slogan, “Globalize the intifada,” which he hailed as “a desperate desire for equality and equal rights in standing up for Palestinian human rights.” He supports the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, and refuses to denounce Shira Law. “I think critiques of the state of Israel are critiques of a government, as opposed to critiques of a people and of a faith,” Mamdani said. “And my job is to represent every single New Yorker, and I will do so no matter their thoughts and opinions on Israel and Palestine, of which millions of New Yorkers have very strong views — and I’m one of them.” He is not against the Jews, like his friend Alex Soros; he is simply against all things Western.

As George Soros said in 1995: “The transformation of a closed society into an open one is a systematic transformation. Practically everything has to change and there is no blueprint. What the foundations have done is to change the way the transformation is brought about. They mobilized the energies of the people in the countries concerned.”

Mamdani is the puppet that will be used to lead the mobilization of globalization, starting by fueling New York’s welfare state to make the people dependent on government. George Soros has always wanted to control NYC, and now he has it in his pocket. The mayor has limited power and will not be able to implement all the lavish promises he spewed at the podium. Yet this is a big step toward converting cities and then states to destabilize the collectiveness of the United States in the hopes that its place as the world’s superpower will vanish.

Hurricane Melissa Blasts Jamaica’s Economy

Hurricane Melissa reached maximum Category 5 strength when it made landfall in Jamaica. The sudden onslaught of destruction cannot be described unless you’ve seen the apocalyptic land of a coastal town that has received a direct hit from a hurricane. The damage from Melissa is unknown, but preliminary calculations suggest it could be one-third of the nation’s GDP.

Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness said the damage could be up to 32% of last year’s GDP. The $7 billion in damage is a conservative estimate. “Experts describe Melissa to be on the very edge of what is physically possible in the Atlantic Ocean, a storm powered by record sea temperatures,” he said. “Its force was so immense that seismographs hundreds of miles away registered its passage.” Holness said that the nation’s infrastructure must be reformed to protect it from future weather events.

Economic output is likely to decline by a minimum of 13% due to the damage as the nation heavily relies on tourism. Tourism directly accounts for 9.5% to 10.5% of Jamaica’s GDP, but accounts for 30% when factoring in the indirect effects. Last year, the nation experienced record-breaking revenue after generating $4.3 billion. The government had anticipated it would surpass last year’s record and secure $5 billion from tourism this year.

Agriculture is expected to be disrupted due to the hurricane, a sector that contributes 17.4% to Jamaica’s GDP. The loss will be more significant for the nation as domestic production accounts for a significant portion of the nation’s fresh produce supply.

The United States is providing $12 million in urgent aid to Jamaica as part of a larger $24 million package for the Caribbean. Jamaica heavily relies on the US for imports, with the total percentage of goods from the US reaching up to 60% annually. It’s a small island with a small economy. The nation was on the up before the hurricane, and it will take time to recover. Even the Tampa Bay area in Florida is still working on repairs nearly a year after Hurricane Helene and Milton hit back-to-back. My condolences are with the Jamaican people recovering from this tragedy.

Canadian Govt to Kill 400 Ostriches to Prevent COVID Research

Ostrich Farmers Update:

-ostriches get the avian flu
-majority survive & show no symptoms
-government says 7 months later,

“COOL, WE’RE GOING TO KILL THEM ALL”

-Dr Oz & RFK Jr offer to move them all to Florida to a ranch
-they could literally have antibodies
-government… pic.twitter.com/hJTt4c2N2D

— Mario Zelaya (@mario4thenorth) September 24, 2025

The owners of Universal Ostrich Farm in B.C., Canada, has a contract signed with a Japanese research firm to study treatments for COVID-19. Biomedical research of this nature would ruin the plan-demic powers Canada enjoyed, and as such, the government plans to kill all 400 ostriches at this farm after an extensive legal battle.

Those outside Canada likely do not understand the national outrage. This is more than a case of animal cruelty or government overreach. The Canadian government is blatantly attempting to prevent researchers from finding an alternative cure to the very virus that was used as a premise to shut down the world. A Universal Ostrich Farm spokesperson, Katie Pasitney, has explained “inoculating ostriches by injecting them with antigens or particles of a dead virus” created an immune response to create egg antibodies.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency ordered to cull the entire flock due to two ostriches dying of the H5N1 virus. The World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) maintains that all birds among an infected flock must be killed to prevent health issues. Yet, these birds were not for meat or simply pets. These birds potentially contained the capacity to product antibodies to COVID-19. Remember when the government cared about nothing aside from COVID? The headlines touted that the world would suffer a medieval plague unless everyone stayed home, masked up, and willingly accepted an experimental mRNA unstudied vaccine. The government can simply do anything under the pretext of “public health.”

Why Journalists Should be Imprisoned – Mainstream Press So Corrupt

The Telegraph revealed earlier this week that the BBC edited a speech by Donald Trump in a way that made him seem to say something he had not. I am sorry, but any journalist that does this should be sent to prison for at least 10 years or until they are 65 to prevent them from ever manipulating the public again.

Florida Here We Come

COMMENT: Marty, I will see you on the beach. I sold everything. I live in a targeted white neighborhood. I should have moved in 2016 when you did. I agree —stick a fork in New York; it’s done. I am just glad I finally sold my house after months.

JD

REPLY: I think that’s what people do not understand. When they finally say OK and throw in the towel, there will be no bid for their property. You can’t be the last to leave when it comes to real estate.

The pandemic shifted preferences in real estate (e.g., less need for dense city living temporarily), and some of that still influences the market. For example, studies found that for owner-occupied one- or two-family homes, in certain NYC neighborhoods, sale prices fell 8% in response to pandemic factors.

What I can say is that what I pay in property taxes living on a private beach as I did in New Jersey, I am currently paying 85% of what I was paying in New Jersey 25 years ago. What I saved just in income taxes plus the property taxes, when to get here, you kick yourself in the but asking why the hell didn’t I come here sooner.

Boca Rotan is rapidly becoming the new Wall Street. That trend began in 2020. When the last Wall Streeter leaves, please such out the lights.
