System Breakdown
Failure is the point
No one can quite fathom why Putin’s cucked man-children, Trump and Vance, savaged Zelensky in the Oval Office before the world’s press. But it was all premeditated. It wasn’t only that Zelensky rejected their gangster minerals “offer he couldn’t refuse.” They had invited him there under false pretenses of signing a terrible “deal” with no security guarantees. But even that wasn’t the real agenda—which was purposeful public humiliation.
Under traditional diplomacy, tough negotiations and yes, even frequent shouting matches, have taken place behind closed doors. Leaders only appear in public after the dirty work is done, to shake hands and celebrate an agreement. The Trump administration deliberately smashed this longstanding norm, leading to giddy celebrations in Russia. There seems to be no way to avoid the conclusion that we’re now living under the Trump-Putin administration. Over the past week, that bargain was sealed both at the UN, and in the Oval Office.
With each such American outrage perpetrated by our so-called leaders, the sense of chaos and disbelief and helplessness becomes more palpable. No one should be surprised. This has always been the endgame. Its arrival is still shocking, in a way that none of us could have quite foreseen. The speed. The audacity. The pettiness. The gaslighting. The deliberate reversing of victim and aggressor. The seemingly pointless destruction of systems that have served us well—that we took for granted—including NATO and world trade.
NATO is dead in all but name. Its funeral just played out in two acts. We need new terms to describe the absolute cringe, the feelings of…just blatant awfulness. The betrayal. The recognition that the United States is now becoming the “bad guy” on the world stage. That our government has turned against its citizens. I’m not sure I have the language yet. Here are a few common reactions: “They can’t do that…” Yes, they can, and they are. “But why would they…?” Time to recognize ‘they’ aren’t us. “Traitors, all of them!” Which would imply there was any loyalty to begin with.
First, let me reiterate ExoProphet’s core mission, which is to explore the rapid shift from democratic accountabilty to governance by techno-authoritarian algorithms. Understanding this consolidation of power is not just about parsing the madness of the current US administration. We must learn to recognize that this authoritarian breakthrough represents a sea-change that will impact every detail of human existence, no matter where you live on Earth. And that’s by design. It’s the end of politics as we knew it, and the beginning of something we can’t yet fully recognize. But the outlines are just now coming into view.
Most Americans don’t want any part of this neo-feudalist power grab. And that’s why we weren’t given a real choice. Who would vote away their own prosperity and rights? Even if we assume that our 2024 election was free and fair to the extent possible, only 31% of eligible voters “chose” this dastardly path. And most of them didn’t know what they were signing up for. If the election were held again today, the result would be very different.
So why didn’t American voters know? That’s also down to social-media algorithms, which have successfully swung elections in favor of right-authoritarians in dozens of nations over the past decade. The linkage is inescapable and well-documented. Through mass lying and relentless propaganda, democracy has already been reduced to performance art.
I’m mindful of the misguided “distraction” narrative from Trump 1.0, in which everything was claimed to be a distraction from everything else. But people who say this don’t provide any answers to the real question: What are we being distracted from? What’s the goal?
It’s rare for an enemy to publish detailed battle plans in advance. But that’s exactly what they did. Project 2025 is breathtaking in its scope and audacity. Its authors must have been supremely confident that they couldn’t be stopped. So far they’re not wrong. But we need to zoom out further to the real World War III taking place—in Earth’s atmosphere. Carbon is winning.
Project 2025 advocates for dismantling federal climate policies, eliminating the Social Cost of Carbon metric, restructuring the EPA to limit its regulatory power, reorienting research away from climate change, and aggressively promoting fossil fuel development. The plan explicitly seeks to roll back environmental regulations, defund climate initiatives, and remove climate considerations from federal decision-making. It represents a direct effort to reverse current climate policies and expand fossil fuel interests.
But that’s only the US. Yes, the US remains the largest producer and consumer of fossil fuels. But we’re also now experiencing the global endgame for fossil fuels. It’s the only way any of Trump 2.0 makes sense. Forget the domestic implications: the lies, the threats, the systemic violence. The oligarchy’s sick glee. The dirty tricks, mass firings, and government purges. Those things are all indeed a distraction from the loaded carbon-gun pointed at all of us. A gun the world’s powerbrokers have repeatedly decided to keep firing. As one of the world’s top three fossil-fuel producers, and the only one without a diversified economy, Russia’s survival now depends on world destruction.
None of this is incompetence. It’s an engineered collapse, designed to strip power from democratic institutions and place it in the hands of a techno-fascist ruling class.
To be sure, the details matter. Yes, the wealthy want impunity and they want control. Yes, our institutions are being destroyed. Yes, Putin wants to reconstitute greater Russia. Timothy Snyder goes into excruciating detail about the historical rationales behind Putin’s Ukraine gambit in his extended 2022 edition of On Tyranny, which you should definitely read.
But the true gangsters behind the Ukraine sellout are the fossil-fuel mafia, and they intend to kill us all, or at least reduce our numbers dramatically. They seem to have forgotten they inhabit the same planet as the rest of us—or perhaps not.
Beyond Putin’s ham-fisted expansionism, it’s time to study and understand the truly horrific implications of so-called “longtermism,” an Orwellian blueprint that will ensure that Earth’s civilization will be decidedly short-term. Apparently their considered plan is to burn the world and rule over its ashes. Don’t believe it? It’s really that stark. No other explanation tracks. Every otherwise inexplicable action of Trump 2.0 confirms this. Musk has set his “TESCREAL” plan for the future into motion. In spite of its high-minded rhetoric, techno-authoritarianism envisions a world sharply divided into “spheres of influence,” which means in part sacrificing Europe to Putin, and letting China have Taiwan. For the US it means realizing a crackpot 1940s dream of the “North American Technate,” subsuming Canada, Greenland, Central America and part of South America. Why else would we have turned on our allies? Aside from bad-old power politics, it’s all based on the morally heinous idea of longtermism, which creates a false equivalence between the moral standing of current vs. future humans.
Consider the longtermist bible, What We Owe The Future, by William MacAsskill. Yes. That’s his name. In spite of its Viking-gaelic etymology meaning “God’s cauldron,” in English it spells out “Son of Ass-Kill.” That’s not a joke, and it should be a clue. His basic point is that because we’re at a critical juncture in civilization, we should discount the value of the 8 billion humans who are currently alive, in favor of trillions of humans who are yet to be born. If you don’t believe it, read it for yourself. Ass-Kill discounts the dangers of nuclear war and climate change, believing these existential threats to be “survivable.”
I can’t even.
The parade of false premises is long. And the subject of longtermism is too vast to tackle in a short think piece. It’s a breathtaking litany of eugenics and feudalism, mixed with totalitarian dystopia so outlandish it defies description. It’s far beyond the wicked genocidal pretenses of 20th-Century Nazism or Communism. Its central premise of granting unborn future humans equal standing (and equal moral agency) to humans currently alive is simply incredible. There aren’t enough superlative pejoratives to even scratch the surface of this unmitigated bullshit. Like—who’s going to give birth to trillions of future humans if today’s humans can’t survive and thrive? A kindergartner could see through this sham logic, yet seemingly “serious people” in charge of our government are fronting that they actually believe this nonsense.
Obviously they don’t.
Longtermism is just the latest cover for entrenching power and justifying extreme inequality. By prioritizing the lives of hypothetical future trillions over real people today, it prevents addressing poverty, climate change, and systemic injustice—not to mention the threat of nuclear war—claiming these efforts are insignificant compared to safeguarding a distant, imagined future that will never come. It’s Snyder’s “politics of eternity” on meth. This rationale gives billionaires and technocrats moral cover to undermine democratic governance, override public needs, and consolidate control in the name of “rational” decision-making.
To accomplish this phantasmagoria, they need our systems to fail. Not for our long-term good, but because they see themselves, quite literally, as gods incarnate—and the rest of humanity as vermin. As Vance said to Zelensky, they seem to believe we can’t thank them enough for the privilege of letting them crush our future.

I’m calling it as it is. I dont care whether you agree with me or not, just check your response with your gut. My gut never lies to me.
I’ve had my suspicions all along about this stooge. He’s not intelligent enough to pull this off by himself. We better hope that all the social security numbers and tax info that Muskrat just uploaded from SSA and IRS from every single american citizens account, doesn’t end up in Putin’s files. Whoever has that info can potentially wipe out every dime we have and can potentially fund a world takeover:
There is something rancid in America, a slow, creeping rot that smells like cold McDonald’s fries, aerosol hairspray, and the unmistakable musk of a country too sedated to recognize its own hostage situation. For years, the idea that Donald Trump was compromised by Russia was dismissed as paranoid fantasy—just another wild-eyed conspiracy theory, another overblown headline in the endless saga of American political dysfunction.
But now, two former Soviet intelligence officers—Alnur Mussayev and Yuri Shvets—are saying it outright: Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987, groomed as an asset, and remains under Russian control to this day.
And the worst part? He’s already back in the White House.
That’s right, America. You did it. You walked face-first into the banana peel of history, slipped, and fell straight into the arms of Vladimir Putin. Trump was kicked out in 2020, spent four years plotting his comeback, and now he’s returned, like a bloated, orange cockroach that just won’t die. The Kremlin’s favorite stooge is running the country again, and this time, he knows exactly how to stay in power.
If you think this is just another round of the Trump Show, you’re not paying attention. This isn’t politics anymore. This is treason. This is foreign subversion. This is a goddamn coup in slow motion.
Let’s break it down, nice and simple.
Alnur Mussayev isn’t some Twitter conspiracy theorist with a tinfoil hat and a podcast. He’s the former head of Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee, which means he knows exactly how Russian intelligence works—because he was part of the system. And what he’s saying should make every American’s blood run cold.
According to Mussayev, Trump was identified, recruited, and compromised by the KGB in 1987 during his first trip to Moscow. They saw him for what he was: a narcissistic, greedy, attention-starved buffoon who could be easily manipulated. The KGB flattered him, promised him business deals, and planted the seeds of political ambition in his empty little head. And from that moment on, he was their man.
But Mussayev isn’t alone. Former KGB major Yuri Shvets said the exact same thing in 2021: Trump was cultivated by Soviet intelligence because he was an easy mark—too stupid to realize he was being played, too egotistical to care. They saw him as a useful idiot—a man who could one day be nudged into power, a walking, talking Trojan Horse for Russian interests.
And now? The plan has worked. Trump spent four years in office weakening America from within, got booted out, and now he’s back for round two.
If you had told the American public in 1962 that a Soviet-backed asset would one day sit in the White House, they would have burned Washington to the ground before letting it happen. But today? Nobody seems to care.
The media treats this like just another wacky subplot in the never-ending Trump reality show. Congress is too busy fighting over meaningless culture war nonsense to do anything about it. And the American public? Exhausted. Numb. Checked out. Years of scandals—Russia collusion, Ukraine blackmail, classified documents, tax fraud, sexual assault, an attempted coup—have fried the country’s brain like an overcooked steak at Mar-a-Lago.
Trump has done the impossible. He has committed so many crimes, so openly, so brazenly, that none of them matter anymore.
And now, with Mussayev’s revelation that Trump is an active foreign asset, we have finally reached the point where the biggest political scandal in American history is met with a collective shrug.
This is how democracy dies—not with a bang, but with a goddamn eye-roll.
This is the part where the skeptics start clutching their pearls. “Oh, come on,” they say. “If Trump were really a Russian asset, wouldn’t there be more proof?”
To which I say: Are you blind, or just willfully stupid?
Let’s go through the evidence, shall we?
Trump spent his entire first term doing exactly what Russia wanted. He attacked NATO, calling it “obsolete” and threatening to pull the U.S. out. He tried to blackmail Ukraine into manufacturing dirt on Joe Biden, because weakening Ukraine helps one man and one man only: Vladimir Putin. He pulled U.S. troops out of Syria, handing power over to Russian forces. He picked fights with Canada and Europe while cozying up to dictators.
Even now, in his second term, he is more openly pro-Putin than ever. He has made it clear that he will not protect NATO allies from Russian aggression. He is actively dismantling America’s alliances, just as Russia planned. And while Americans scream at each other over whether Target should sell rainbow t-shirts, Trump is quietly selling the country to the Kremlin.
At some point, you have to stop calling it a coincidence and start calling it what it is: treason.
The United States is running out of time. If Trump serves out this term without being removed, America as a functioning democracy is finished.
The media needs to wake up. Enough with the “Trump fatigue” excuse. This is not just another scandal—this is the single greatest infiltration of American power in history. Journalists need to dig into Mussayev’s claims, demand declassification of intelligence files, and treat this like the national emergency that it is.
Congress needs to subpoena Mussayev immediately. His testimony must be public, and every document he has should be reviewed. If there is proof that Trump has been compromised since the 1980s, the American people need to know.
The Justice Department needs to stop pretending that Trump is just another politician. If there is evidence that the sitting president of the United States is working in Russia’s interests, he must be removed from office and prosecuted for espionage.
And the American public? You have one last chance. This is not about Republican vs. Democrat. This is not about taxes, gas prices, or whatever nonsense outrage is dominating the news today. This is about whether the United States remains a sovereign nation, or if we spend the rest of the century as a Russian client state with a golf course.
The sheer volume of Trump's corruption, the blatant nature of his crimes, the mountain of evidence that should have ended his political career a hundred times over—none of it mattered. He survived it all, not because he was innocent, but because he drowned the country in so much scandal that nothing stuck.
But this time, it’s different. If Mussayev and Shvets are right, this isn’t just another chapter in the endless Trump circus. This is the culmination of a decades-long Russian intelligence operation to install an asset in the White House.
There is no coming back from this. If America lets Trump serve out this term without removing him, then the United States as a democratic republic is finished. The country won’t collapse overnight. There won’t be tanks in the streets. Instead, the destruction of democracy will happen in slow motion—buried under lawsuits, propaganda, and corruption so blatant that people stop caring.
If America lets this happen—if Trump is allowed to complete his mission—then Putin wins. The West crumbles. And the people who could have stopped it will look back, years from now, and wonder how they let it happen.
Good night, and good luck. Because if people don’t wake up, America is going to sleepwalk straight into its own funeral.
The European Union will stand up for Ukraine because they are next. Fuck Trump and the treasonous GOP. USA needs a military coup to overthrow the whole Trump cabinet. Put them all in Gitmo.
